Chapter 190: Three Don'ts
The question now is that Li Wanjiang can't tell Xiao Chen to go, what kind of result will it be?
Maybe he kid went to a blind toss, and maybe he could really make a difference in the situation.
If that were the case, the pressure on the north would be much lessened.
So Li Wanjiang is now also the first rat at both ends, swaying.
I want to give Xiao Chen a little more soldiers, but I'm afraid that it will be a meat bun beating a dog, and if I don't go back, I will lose it in vain.
But if he doesn't give up a few soldiers, and he is afraid that he will be crushed at the touch of a touch when he encounters the Xian cavalry, then his four million taels of silver and three thousand war horses will not be lost?
After thinking about it, he decided to give Xiao Chen another thousand elite cavalry, no more, no less, which could be regarded as a bet on him.
The soldiers under the command of the forbidden army and the commander of the Nine Gates are the order of the Imperial City Guards, all of which are the elite of the Great Zhou elite.
It is said that Xiao Chen, accompanied by Wu Zicheng, visited the barracks, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, what a special person is called a tiger and wolf.
Those goods under his own hands are all a rabble!
"The emperor has a will, brother, I will never hide my secrets, except for my personal guard battalion, the other departments are selected by you, brother!" Wu Zicheng is actually fake and generous, but what people say is quite affectionate after all.
Xiao Chen said that there are only a few conditions for me to be a soldier, first, I must voluntarily go with me, if I don't want to go, I will never force it, I don't want to go, then I don't want any of them.
Second, I don't want the only child in the family, so we can't cut off other people's incense, right? I don't want to become a parent, because I will die for a lifetime, and I can't harm the small couple of people.
Third, it must be a northerner, or a person north of Fengyang City.
This is not because Xiao Chen has any regional discrimination, but because many southerners are not used to the cold climate of northern Xinjiang, and they are not even used to the diet of northern Xinjiang
Now it's going to be winter again, and if you first arrive in your place, you're unwell, and you're not accustomed to the water and soil, it's going to be a big mistake.
The same is true for northerners in the south, Xiao Chen heard him talk about this when he was chatting with Li Wanyun in Jiuxi.
Because most of Li Wanyun's subordinates were northern generals, when he first arrived in southern Xinjiang, because he was not used to the local climate, more than 10,000 people fell ill within half a year, and hundreds died!
It took two or three years to get used to it.
Wu Zicheng respected his opinion and issued the order, to Xiao Chen's surprise, there were really many people who met his conditions and took the initiative to sign up, and there were thousands of people in the school field.
Seeing Xiao Chen standing on the platform, thousands of pairs of eyes looked at him and saluted him.
The big guy has heard of Xiao Chen's name for a long time, but most of them have never admired his true deity.
Seeing him appear on the stage at this moment, I thought in my heart, it turns out that Master Xiao is really so young and so handsome, it's okay, but as a eunuch, he doesn't know where his heroic spirit comes from?
"Thanks to the big guy, I am willing to be born and die with me, Xiao Chen is here to thank the brothers." Xiao Chen threw his hand at the audience, his voice was bright and agitated, and the thousands of people present could hear it clearly.
"People say that General Wu Zicheng's command is all heroes, and my brothers have never believed it, but I can see it with my own eyes today, and it really deserves its reputation!" What a proper thing Xiao Chen said.
"But my brother can only take a thousand men with him, because what? We are all Chinese elites, tigers and wolves, if we go too much, we are afraid that those young people will flee when they hear the news, so let's still make a fart credit? Xiao Chen's words were very uplifting.
I can't help but be angry, because it's not easy to say it in public if the emperor only gave him 1,000 soldiers.
Otherwise, Han Xin ordered troops, wouldn't the more the merrier?
If you can take all the 80,000 forbidden troops away, I can sweep you away even the entire north by the way!
Since so many people are enthusiastic to sign up, Xiao Chen has to pick one.
This is to fight in the northern frontier, facing the Xian cavalry, so you must be skilled in arching and horses, not to say that you can shoot arrows on horseback, but also to shoot accurately and quickly.
Let a few of his brothers who have been cavalry officers carefully select, there is only one principle, that is, it is better to lack than to excess!
We want the elite of the elite, so we can choose as many as we want, don't forget that there is also the military camp under the command of the Admiral of the Nine Gates, there are not enough here, and we can choose some from there.
There is also an ugly sentence Xiao Chen also said, that is, do not want officers with more than 100 households, because these officers are used to listening to Wu Zicheng's orders, and there may be some unnecessary troubles in the future, which is a hidden danger to put it bluntly.
If you really want to join, then you must voluntarily resign from your original position, follow me from the beginning, and if you make meritorious contributions, I will give you priority.
Although this condition is a bit harsh, those officers can also understand it, but they feel that this Lord Xiao is bright and straightforward.
"Brother Xiao, what do you mean by that? Believe me, brother, afraid that I will put nail eyeliner next to you? Wu Zicheng naturally wanted to express his dissatisfaction, and he felt that he was coming at him.
"I chose all the people, and it wasn't your brother who forcibly gave them to me, how can I be suspicious of you? But please bear with me for my brother's difficulties, in fact, if it weren't for you, brother, I wouldn't dare to open this mouth, but after bringing them back, I have to deal with them, so I'm sorry for you, brother. Xiao Chen spoke so bluntly.
is also quite angry with Wu Zicheng.
"The emperor promised to give you cavalry, did you say anything about the horses?" Wu Zicheng pulled him aside and asked in a whisper.
"Didn't say it, brother, what do you mean?" Xiao Chen said busily.
"Since the emperor didn't say it, then brother, I will even give you people and horses, armor, weapons, bows and arrows, etc., and when the emperor asks in the future, I will pretend to be confused with his old man." Wu Zicheng's friend is really interesting.
"Don't say anything, my brother is good, I have it in my heart." Xiao Chen was overjoyed, Wu Zicheng was tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.
"Actually, watching your brother go to Northern Xinjiang to die, my brother and I don't have a taste in my heart, but I have a weak heart, and I can't help you with anything, just don't blame me for being ruthless and unjust." Wu Zicheng sighed and said a sincere word.
"Brother Wu, if you are ruthless and unrighteous, then there will be no more people in the world who value love and righteousness." Xiao Chen also sighed, this friend was not made in vain.
But other friends ...... People are warm and cold, and the world is cold.
For example, Wang Anbang, since Xiao Chen received this unlucky errand, he has never appeared.
But seriously, this is understandable, first, Wang Anbang is a villain, how can you want him to be righteous?
Second, he is now also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself, because he is a proper princeling, and after the death of the prince, he was also implicated.
But it is strange to say that Li Wanjiang actually opened up to him, neither dismissed him from office, nor removed him from his post, let alone asked him about his crimes.
Just gave him a small penalty of three years.
