Early in the morning of the fifth day after Tang Tong received the appointment, he took He Wang to the Xidingmen barracks, the Xidingmen barracks is five hundred meters to the right of the Xidingmen, the barracks compound is built by the city wall, the only quadrangle is the city gate Weiyamen, the middle of the two rows of houses opposite is the barracks gate, there are several rows of houses on the left and right, the middle is the playground, the right side is the Pingding Street connecting the Xiding Gate and the Dongping Gate, but the barracks gate is open on the main street on the west side.

He Wang first informed the sentry at the camp gate that the new city gate captain had come to take up his post. The sentry immediately reported to the little flag chief, who came first to salute, and then ran to the city gate to the captain's yamen.

After a while, three officers came out of the barracks, and one of them saluted, "I don't know that Lord Tang has arrived, and I haven't greeted him from afar, please forgive me, I'm Yan Fengchun.", after speaking, he stretched out his hand, and when he saw that Tang Tong had not stretched out his hand, he retracted it again.

According to military regulations, subordinates should stand upright, and the three of them are as lazy as ordinary civilian officials, Tang Tong looked at the leisurely life in the capital, which made people increasingly lazy, making military discipline lax. Yan Yishi immediately stretched out his hand, first pointing to an introduction, "This is President Qianzhi Lingzhi", and then pointed to an introduction, "This is President Yang Jianzhong.".

Tang Tong nodded and walked to the barracks. First go to the city gate lieutenant yamen, the main hall three on the left is the city gate captain's office, the middle is the living room and conference room, and the right is the office of the officer. The city gate lieutenant yamen set up a lieutenant from the fourth grade, a servant one person is the fifth grade, two people from the fifth grade, one person from the seventh grade, the governor one is the eighth grade, the cang ambassador is the ninth grade, and the official is from the ninth grade, they are all working in the wings on both sides, and there are two small flags of the city gate captain yamen guards, usually do some miscellaneous work.

Tang Tong rubbed for a long time in the city gate lieutenant yamen, and when he came to the playground, the soldiers had already stood in line. Tang Tong looked at the fifteen teams, and the people from the city gate Weiyamen stood in a line, about a thousand or so, standing crookedly, arranged according to the hundred general team, and the hundred general stood in front. Yan Yanshi handed the roster to Tang Tong, Tang Tong saw that the Xidingmen military camp was the establishment of fifteen hundred corps, according to the Great Zhou military system, a small flag plus a small flag length of eleven people, five small flag length for a total flag, plus a total of fifty-six flag lengths, one hundred should be one hundred and twelve people, plus one hundred total one, a total of one hundred and fourteen people, and fifteen hundred should be one thousand seven hundred and ten.

One person from one thousand households is five products, two people from five grades are deputy thousand households, two people from six grades are from Zhenfu (military discipline), one person is from nine grades, and a small flag is a total of 17 guards, 2,000 is 46 people, and 30 people are from the city gate captain Yamen, with a total of 1,786 people. Tang Tong looked at the roster and wrote this number, this is to fool the above, Tang Tong rolled up the roster, took it in his left hand and then stretched out his right hand.

I had long heard that the new city gate captain was a veteran of the army, so Yan had to hand another roster to Tang Tong. The above thousand general offices and the city gate lieutenant yamen are real numbers, and the fifteen hundred should be one thousand three hundred and seventy-four, a full three hundred and eighty-two people less. Then the 100 corps counted, and it was right to remove the number of people on duty, vacation, and leave. In the past, the Xuanfu was also short of soldiers and soldiers, and it was not so much less, it seems that the other city gate barracks are not much better, and one of them involves the city gate and the yamen, and it is inconvenient for Tang Tong to ask too much.

After the roll call, Tang Tong stood on the review platform and spoke, "My name is Tang Tong, I am the former chief official of the Xuanfu, not me to show off, except for Niu Rong and Niu Shen, no one has a reputation among the soldiers, why?" Because I asked them to train more, and let them all complain, can they not remember me! Now I, as your commander, I am here to remind people that from tomorrow onwards, if there are no more comfortable days, we must strictly enforce military discipline and strengthen training, and those who do not believe in it should wash their butts well tonight, and wait to be beaten with military sticks!".

The team below caused a commotion when they heard this, and the new official took office with three fires, and I don't know whose ass this fire burned on. Tang Tong shouted loudly again: "Wait for the hundred chief officers to sit down at the Yamen of the city gate, listen to my announcement of strict military discipline and strengthening training, and now disband!"

The main hall of the city gate captain's yamen was full of people, all of whom were more than 100 chief officials. Tang Tong first asked Ling Zhi and Yang Jianzhong, the two thousand presidents, to introduce their hundred presidents, Tang Tong's habits developed over the years, fifteen hundred presidents went through it in his mind. After the introduction, Tang Tong said, everything is in accordance with the regulations, if there is no follow, severe punishment will not be treated, adhere to the four-day training system, training three half days off a day, holiday rest, and push back in turn. In the afternoon, it will be communicated to every soldier, and tomorrow morning it will be dispatched. Tang informed that the officers and soldiers in the capital were used to being lazy, and that training too harsh would backfire, and that it would only take half an hour before and after sitting and talking, and then arrange things clearly.

Because there were 100 always on duty at Xidingmen, Tang Tong went to Xidingmen to check the duty situation after the meeting. Tang Tong walked out of the barracks and went straight to Xidingmen, and before he reached the gate of the city and saw Yang Jianzhong, he quickly called the soldiers to stand in line, and ran over to stand upright, "Lord Duwei!".

Tang Tong nodded in response; "Mr. Yang Qian.", when Tang Tong arrived in front of the team, Yang Jianzhong applauded, "Everyone welcomes Lord Duwei here!", the soldiers listened and then applauded and welcomed.

Tang Tong stood in front of the team, "Brothers have worked hard!", this is a general flag, there are only thirty-six people in the total flag, and there is a general flag on the city wall, I don't know how many people. There are indeed not many people in and out, at this time the soldiers guarding the city gate are conscientious, it is because of Tang Tong's coming, there is a general flag on the city wall, Tang Tong came to the city wall when the queue is very neat, there are only thirty-five people. The city wall is not allowed for the common people to come up, and it is an important place for defense. Tang Tong learned that there are one hundred generals during the day and another hundred generals on duty at night, and if you don't train, it's quite easy, and if you don't strictly control it, military discipline will be slack. Tang Tong first inspected his defense area along the city wall, so that he knew it in his heart, returned to the city gate, stood outside the city gate and looked out for a long time, and then returned to the barracks.

It was already lunchtime, and Tang Tong, accompanied by Yan Yanshi, came to the small restaurant of the city gate Wei Yamen. There are four square tables in the hall, but in fact, only three tables are used, arranged in two rows, and two tables in a row. There were already eight people waiting at a table in the front row, and when they saw Tang Tong coming, they all stood up, Tang Tong beckoned everyone to sit down, and the nine people were the seven officials of the city gate and the two thousand generals.

Tang Tong looked at the dishes on the table, ten bowls of chicken, duck and fish, and then looked at the other two tables with a large pot of vegetables on each table. Tang Tong called He Wang, who was sitting at another table, over and took away six bowls of big meat dishes, three bowls per table, and then divided some large pots of vegetables from each table.

Tang Tong stood up and picked up an empty bowl in his hand, "Brothers! I Tang Tong also came up from a soldier, when I was the general banner in Xuanfu before, there were fifty-six brothers under my command, we ate and lived together, and shared weal and woe. Although I can't live together today, I only have one lunch a day to eat together, and I know that Yan is also well-intentioned. I will leave a sentence here today, except for entertaining the above, I will eat whatever the brothers eat, and if there is any violation, it will be like this bowl.", and after saying that, he smashed the bowl in his hand to the ground.

"Okay!", someone at the other table shouted, and the other soldiers also applauded, and the nine people around him looked helpless.

Tang Tong shouted like this, and the nine people at the same table didn't know what to say, or Yan Fengchun was shocked, "Lord Du Lieutenant loves soldiers like sons, which is admirable!" The other eight immediately spoke up and nodded in agreement.

Tang Tong also noticed the unhappiness in their hearts, "I have heard that Xidingmen has a lot of bad reputations, I don't want to continue to sink in my hands, I must make some changes, I hope to get everyone's support.".

"We don't want to bear the notoriety, since Lord Du Lieutenant has strictly ordered rectification, is there a reason for us not to cooperate?" , or Yan Fengchun responded, it seems that he has a lot of weight among the nine people, and they all listen to him...

"That's good! I hope that everyone will work together to raise the reputation of Xidingmen to a new level.", Tang Tong stood up as he spoke, clasped his hands into fists, and asked everyone.

Seeing Tang Tong like this, the nine people at the same table, plus the officers and soldiers with two small flags, all stood up, or Yan Fengchun took the lead in applauding, and the others applauded.
