Chapter 1: Becoming a Soldier
PS: There is one more shift around twelve o'clock!
-----------
Three days after the officials of the Ministry of War came to the palace to announce the order, Liu Yi took two entourages, dressed in armor, and went to report to the Yamen of the Ministry of War in Shangshu Province of the Imperial City Taiji Palace early in the morning.
The formalities were surprisingly smooth, and the officials of the Ministry of War were polite to Liu Yiting, and a member of the Ministry of War ran before and after, and then completed the matter of joining the army for Liu Yi, and then it was this member of the Ministry of War who took Liu Yi to the Zuowei official office located on the north side of Shangshu Province and reported to the general of the Zuowei on duty.
Today, it is said that on duty in the Left Guard official office is Gao Zhenxing, the general of the Left Guard.
Before Liu Yilai reported to work, he also had a general understanding of the situation of the Left Guard, and the details of some senior generals in the Left Guard Army, and knew that the Left Guard General Gao Zhenxing was the son of Gao Shilian, a famous minister of Zhenguan, who was in his fifties, and his military strategy was average, and he had never led the army to go on an expedition, and his surname was somewhat similar to Gao Shilian, stubborn, and not very easy to speak.
Gao Shilian is the uncle of the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson queen, and has made outstanding contributions to the establishment of Li Tang, and has won the reuse of Li Shimin, and the six sons born to him are also extraordinary, although it is said that he has been implicated in the case of the eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian, Gao Zhenxing, Gao Zhenxing, and other Gao Shilian's sons who are in high positions in the court have been demoted and exiled to other places, but they have also been used in recent years.
Today's general of the Left Guard is King Li Zhe, but the prince does not care about military affairs, and is assisted by a general of the Left Guard, and the military affairs are still in charge of the two generals of the Left Guard under the leadership of the General of the Left Guard, because most of the generals of the Left Guard of the school are also led in other capacities, just like Liu Yi's father Liu Xianli is also led by the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the court affairs are complicated, and he cannot stay in the Yamen of the Left Guard all day long, so the person in charge of the specific affairs of the Left Guard is mainly the General of the Left Guard.
After Liu Xianli's defeat and death, the imperial court had not yet appointed a new general of the Left Guard, and the affairs of the Left Guard were in full charge of the two generals.
Because he knew that Gao Zhenxing was not good at talking, he often scolded the generals who made mistakes under his subordinates, and the subordinate generals were a little irritable with this surname, and the generals who were very polite in other aspects were a little jealous, Liu Yi was also worried, for fear that he would be received by a dismounted or cold-faced reception just after coming to report to the time, so that he could not get off the stage.
However, the situation encountered was a big surprise to Liu Yi, and Gao Zhenxing personally came to receive and greet Liu Yi after learning that Liu Yi, the captain appointed by the two days after the day, came to report to the army.
"Virtuous nephew, Ben will know that you will come to the army today, so I have been waiting!" After accepting Liu Yi's salute, Gao Zhenxing stepped forward and took Liu Yi's hand, and said with a smile.
"Don't dare to be General Gao to greet him like this!" Liu Yi felt a little flattered. I just thought about whether I would be given a cold reception when I saw Gao Zhenxing, but I didn't expect to meet such a warm reception.
"Alas, the virtuous nephew will see the outside when he says so!" Gao Zhenxing pulled Liu Yi into the Left Guard's office, "Your father has always cared for the general, and now he learned that you came to the army, how could he not come to greet him in person..."
Gao Zhenxing knew that the first martial arts "champion" of the Tang Dynasty came to report to the army today, and knew that this warrior who won the first place in martial arts was the first general of the left guard, the son of his former boss Liu Xianli, and also knew that Liu Yi was deeply appreciated by the queen Wu Zetian, so he also gave Liu Yi enough face, and was particularly polite after seeing Liu Yi.
"After the humble post, everything was taken care of by General Gao," Liu Yi saluted again, and presented the text of the military department to Gao Zhenxing.
"Well said, well said! The virtuous nephew is good, and his loyalty and filial piety have been praised by the generals and soldiers in the army, and he must have made a difference when he enters the army," Gao Zhenxing took the text in Liu Yi's hand, and instructed a group of people who stayed in the ya, and the army chief and the record to join the army to complete the formalities for Liu Yi.
The officer of the military department turned around after completing the formalities.
"Virtuous nephew, Ben will accompany you to the army!" After the naturalization procedures were completed, Gao Zhenxing got up and said to Liu Yi.
After the new middle and lower-level officers arrived, they all needed to report to the army immediately, and originally only the new officials needed to report by themselves, but this time Gao Zhenxing personally accompanied Liu Yi.
Liu Yi didn't know the twists and turns, but a general who was many levels higher than himself still felt a little strange when he accompanied him to his post, "The general personally accompanies the lowly position, it's really unpleasant..."
"Don't be such a mother-in-law, let's go!" Gao Zhenxing had already walked out and said with a smile to Liu Yi.
"Yes, General!" Liu Yi had no choice but to follow out of the Left Guard Office, follow Gao Zhenxing out of the Imperial City, and then get on his horse and run to the Left Guard camp on the east side of Chang'an City.
After running for about a quarter of an hour, the camp of the Left Guard was in sight.
Although Liu Yi was accompanied by Gao Zhenxing, he was only put in after checking the identity certificate issued by the official, but Liu Yi's two entourage were blocked outside the barracks.
Liu Yi is a lieutenant under the sixth grade, and he is still not allowed to have his own personal guards in the army.
Knowing that Gao Zhenxing had arrived in the camp, the left guard Zhonglang on duty trotted Zhang Qianqiao all the way to greet him.
"General Zhang, this is the new science and technology martial arts jinshi, Liu Yi, the captain appointed by the Queen Mother and authorized to serve in the army with filial piety, and the third son of General Liu, who will report to the army today, that is, he will be assigned to your subordinates!" Gao Zhenxing pointed at Liu Yidao.
Gao Zhenxing's introduction made Liu Yi a little depressed, as if he had entered the army through Wu Zetian's nepotism, and he felt that such an introduction would disgust the upright Left Guard general in front of him.
Sure enough, after Zhang Qianqiao glanced at Liu Yi a few times, his face showed a slightly unhappy look, but it disappeared in a flash, but he also showed some curious looks, and saluted Gao Zhenxing and Liu Yi respectively: "General Gao, Captain Liu is a blockbuster in the martial arts competition, and the last general believes that in the Left Guard, there must be something to do..."
Gao Zhenxing also said haha, "General Zhang, the person will be handed over to you, the general still has something to do, let's go first..."
"General Gao, go slowly!" Liu Yi hurriedly bowed.
Gao Zhenxing returned the salute and left.
"Captain Liu, please follow this future," after Gao Zhen walked, Zhang Qian said to Liu Yi expressionlessly, and without waiting for Liu Yi to reply, he took the first step.
Liu Yi had to follow quickly, and he was also wondering in his heart, why was this general, who was also able to join the army because of Pei Xingjian's recommendation, why was he lukewarm to himself? It seems that there are still some embarrassing things to happen in the army today, and maybe you have to show some skills to subdue these arrogant officers and soldiers in the army.
Also, according to Liu Yi's understanding, there are more than 200 people under a lieutenant, and there are a lot of low-level officers such as brigade commanders, team leaders, and gang commanders.
Liu Yi followed Zhang Qianqiao to the training ground, not knowing where this Zhonglang was going to take him...
