But this matter, the father-in-law is actually very difficult.

He said that there are six armed forces in the capital.

The largest is the "Imperial Wall" warband, named because it is directly responsible for the defense of the walls of the capital.

Unlike in ancient times, they are actually the corresponding war group of the military region where Dadu is located, responsible for the defense of several small towns and fortresses in Dadu and the surrounding area. In addition to the main business of guarding the city wall, he often crossed the sea to Minor Asia to find Turkmen to fight. Warbands have a rotation system, with some going out to fight while the rest are responsible for defending the city. On weekdays, all the gates of the capital, except for those ceremonial gates, are managed by them.

The second is the "Teaching Regiment" combat group, which on the one hand has both military academy training and experimental nature, and on the other hand, it is also the main army here. Several training grounds in the city, including the one that Guo Kang had taken Cao Jian to before, were under their jurisdiction.

But there are not many soldiers in the training regiment in the city, only these small teams at the training ground. The main troops and camps are in the suburbs outside the city - that is, the place where Guo Kang took Xiao Jeanna to watch the artillery demonstration before. When it's okay, they won't enter the city en masse.

The actual presence in the city is the "Night's Watch" warband, which is responsible for maintaining the garrison within most of the capital, and is therefore the most frequently seen. Basically, after every festival, they are the ones who fight passionately with alcoholic citizens and try to maintain order, so they are famous in various senses......

However, they are not ordinary "chengguan", but serious field troops, and like the Imperial Wall and the Teaching Regiment, the night watchmen also pursue a system of rotational warfare to maintain combat effectiveness. Due to the terrain of the Purple Horde, this kind of round battle was not very difficult.

For a mission like this one, the most appropriate one is to send out a teaching group or a night watchman. Because the recruits who have problems nominally belong to the teaching group, it is more appropriate for them to take care of it themselves. And when there is a big gang case in the city that needs to be transferred, it is usually the night watchman who is dispatched to arrest people.

But these two units did not belong to the local military districts, but were directly under the jurisdiction of the Khan. Moreover, the father-in-law is in charge of the scheduling of the various legions that go out on the expedition, including the allocation of strategic tasks and the maintenance of supplies, etc., which is actually quite onerous. These people who stayed behind, like the garrison brigades in various places, were no longer under his control.

It is not impossible for him to appear and use his prestige and identity to persuade others to act, but this has great side effects. Because even for a place like the Purple Horde, where the system is very lax, it is very troublesome to transfer troops beyond the authority in the capital, and it is very easy to cause criticism and accusations. Several other close princes may still give some face, but the Khan bureaucracy, which is becoming more and more perfect, will definitely be attacked.

If it is really a matter of life and death, there is no time to delay it at all, and he can fight once. But this time it's just to catch a few thieves, it's not worth it at all, people will only think that this has ulterior motives. At that time, not only will Guo be embarrassed, but his friends will also be in the dilemma of being at a loss and not helping, and everyone should not be embarrassed like this.

As for the others, the first is the forbidden army of the Khan Chamber, "Cowardly Xue". Although they were quite numerous, they included a large number of court servants. These were not actually professional soldiers, and their main responsibilities were also to run the industries directly under the Khan's court and maintain the operation of the palace, and their work included settling accounts, discussing business, cooking, sprinkling and sweeping, and even singing and dancing, in short, they had little combat effectiveness.

The real part of the army was the Varyag Guards in the Praetorian Army. They were responsible for the security of the Grand Palace, as well as other important places.

Most of the capital is different from the capital of the Central Plains Dynasty, there is no clear palace city and supporting defense facilities, and the large and small palace buildings built by Barcelus in the past dynasties are all over the city and are not connected to each other. As a result, they are also more lenient in their guards.

In addition, several of the main gates on the city walls were also the responsibility of the Varyag. The reason for this is that it is spacious and convenient for major ceremonies, such as every triumphal ceremony, the sweat room is sponsored, and these gates are also specially dressed for celebrations.

However, there is a deeper layer of consideration here. Because the Li Tiance incident occurred just after entering the city, for a long time, the Purple Horde did not think about how to defend when someone attacked Dadu, or how to prevent and suppress it when there was a possibility of rebellion, but how to run out when most of the chaos occurred. The gate personally handled by these forbidden soldiers is actually not to prevent someone from coming from a critical position, but just in case, it is convenient for everyone to run away at a critical time......

Later, as the rule became more stable, the mentality of the Khan's court also changed. By the time of the father-in-law, in the face of enemy attacks, few people thought about abandoning the city and running away. He himself became famous because he presided over the defense of the city back then.

However, although this design has not been used, the relevant arrangement has been retained and has been used to this day.

In addition, there are two smaller armies. One is the Marine Corps of the Navy, because in this year's naval warfare, jumping gangs are indispensable, and in addition to armed sailors, the warships must also carry special soldiers. Everyone has to conduct various trainings in normal times, and in addition to the tactics at sea, they also have to consider how to fight when they land.

Most of them are port cities, so next to the military port, there are their training grounds and camps.

Sometimes, in addition to themselves, other troops also send people to train. This is also a small trick that the Purple Horde summarized earlier.

When Tokhtar Maimaitinikus led a large army across the Black Sea to attack the Georgian enemy by surprise, his steppe soldiers suffered severe seasickness, and many of them were dizzy and vomited, and it took several days to recover.

Under the trade-off, he could only leave most of the people in the port to watch his family, and he took a few people with him, spread the banner of the whole army, and attacked everywhere. Fortunately, Uncle Timur had already scared the locals stupid, and the towns and cities surrendered when they saw the army, so they did not show their stuffing.

From that time on, the Khan's court realized that even if most of the warfare was mainly land warfare, considering the terrain of the Purple Horde, the transportation of troops by sea was indispensable. Therefore, everyone has to adapt to this situation in advance to avoid problems when they get it. Each military region will choose the nearest port and send soldiers to practice in turn. Even those Mongols under the Beiya Wanhu had to learn rowing, and this place was no exception.

And the last one is the part of the church that Guo Kang tried to use before.

Therefore, the father-in-law also has no way to help directly. Because of this matter, it is not worth running out of the city and looking for the Great Khan to give official approval. He suggested that Guo Kang should wait for two days.
