If Li Ye held high the banner of benevolence and righteousness in this era, it would be tantamount to looking for death.

Surrounded by jackals, tigers and leopards, a bare Chang'an city, with a bunch of undercover agents in hand, playing benevolence? It will definitely be thought that there is a problem with the brain.

Li Maozhen, Wang Xingyu, Han Jian will not be benevolent and righteous with you, Li Keyong will not be benevolent and righteous with you, and Zhu Wen will not be benevolent and righteous with you.

They can move knives, but they will never move their mouths.

It's okay to read the books of the sages, but you must not be fooled by the righteousness and morality in the books of the sages.

In this era of rich wolves everywhere, if Li Ye wants to stand on his feet, he will be more cunning and murderous than them!

Righteousness is to be divided into objects, and it is possible for the people, but not for the enemy!

To exterminate the largest bandit near Chang'an, Li Ye needed time to digest, so he did not send troops again, so he asked Gao Xingzhou to lead the Shence army back to Chang'an.

It's not that he didn't think about transforming the Shence Army, but the Shence Army is intertwined, father and son successively, and there are many clans, which is a product of the old house, and it affects the whole body.

In these years, rebellions are common among the leaders of the soldiers, and rebellions by the leaders of the soldiers are as common as drinking boiled water.

The last time Li Maozhen besieged Chang'an, Li Ye was apprehensive about the military admonition of the Shence Army.

In fact, the combat power of the Shence Army is not bad, but the will to fight is too weak.

To transform the Shence Army, we can only wait for the Praetorian Guards to grow up, otherwise the Shence Army will be in chaos, and the surrounding Li Maozhen, Wang Xingyu, and Han Jian will take advantage of the fire to rob, and everything they have worked hard for will be in vain.

Therefore, it is imperative to expand the army.

Li Ye set up a Zhongyi Hall in the city, which is actually a place to tell stories.

However, the storyteller was all selected by Li Ye from the Praetorian Guard, with a flexible mind and sharp teeth.

Young people work all day, have dinner, leisure time, come to listen to stories, not to mention how comfortable, there are too few entertainment programs these years, there are stories to listen to, why not actively participate? Zhongyi Hall is overcrowded every day, and almost the entire residents of Hosoyanagi City will listen to it in the evening.

Today I listen to Li Weigong to destroy the Turks in the first battle, tomorrow I listen to Guo Ziyi fight the Anshi rebels, and the day after tomorrow I listen to Wei Gao's great destruction of Tibet.

The story reproduces the glory of the Tang Dynasty.

When it comes to the wonderful, everyone's face is full of energy, and they can't wait to be born in that magnificent era.

In later generations, some people who read Western books and had bad brains shouted on the Internet: I don't want the rise of a big country, I care about the dignity of small people.

If the country does not rise, how can the small people have dignity?

Did the West give dignity to the small people of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya?

The dignified ones are not called small people, but the people, and dignity is the inner and outer part of each people.

After the establishment of Zhongyitang, the folk customs of Hosoyanagi City gradually cheered up and began to consciously maintain order.

Liucheng is divided into two military and civilian departments, do not interfere with each other, the three military disciplines of the Praetorian Guard are not decorations, Li Ye is wide on the outside and tight on the inside, and several young and strong people are teasing the women in the city, after Li Ye was beheaded in the downtown to show the public, everyone knows that military law is not a joke.

With the guidance of Zhongyitang, many enthusiastic people enthusiastically signed up to participate.

In just a few days, the Janissaries expanded to 2,500 men, the result of careful selection, mainly composed of homeless people and bandits.

Since the army was expanded, it was necessary to reorganize the military system, and Li Ye drew on the framework of the military system of this era to make slight changes, abolishing the army commander, and setting up ten people as one tithe, setting up a chief, ten tithes as a capital, setting up a capital head, five capitals as a battalion, and setting up a chief and deputy commander.

Li Ye appointed himself as the commander of the capital, and at the same time set up a personal guard capital, and the commander was Xin Shilang.

There were a total of five battalions of soldiers and horses, and all the original nine commanders were promoted to chief and deputy commanders.

The training of so many people is not enough to rely on Li Ye alone, Li Ye has set up a team of instructors, and it is composed of outstanding people from the earliest more than 200 Chang'an children.

These people have nothing to say about their strength or loyalty.

Li Ye wanted to train with the instructor team, but was stopped by Yuan Jingcheng, with the growth of Xiliu City, the reputation gradually spread, attracting more displaced people, Xiliu City has reached its limit, it is about to enter winter, and the food in the city is just enough to survive the winter.

These days, Li Ye has been able to devote his energy to the military, thanks to Yuan Jingcheng's orderly cooking of Xiliucheng.

Xiliu City was originally a small city, and it couldn't accommodate so many people, and after the expansion of the army, the city became crowded.

Li Ye pondered for a while, it is not a way to be crowded in the city like this, and I am afraid that it is even more difficult to bring it into Chang'an, and there are many pairs of eyes staring at him in Chang'an City.

Every move will attract speculation from people with ulterior motives.

"Go to Qitianwang Village!" Li Ye could only fight the bandit stockade in the valley.

That valley was an excellent place to hide troops, and the fact that King Qi was able to quietly grow to more than 10,000 people in it showed the advantages of this place.

Yuan Jingcheng knew about Qi Tianwang Village, but his real idea was to move some people into Chang'an City, after all, Chang'an was huge, and its population was less than one-sixth of its heyday.

Li Ye actually knew what he meant, but there was suffering, Chang'an is indeed the best place to immigrate, but Chang'an is also a place of speculation, which is seen by people and exposes the details of Xiliu City.

The Praetorian Guard is a dark sword hidden by Li Ye, and it is not yet time to show its edge.

Yuan Jingcheng saw that the emperor avoided talking about Chang'an, so he didn't insist anymore, "The name of Qitian Wangzhai is not very good, please give it a name to Your Majesty." ”

Li Ye laughed: "Let's call it Hidden Dragon Valley." "Yuan Jingcheng is a good executor, in less than three days, he moved three thousand Qingzhuang and eight hundred militias, and Li Ye also asked Zhou Yunyi to lead a battalion of Praetorian Guards.

The expansion of the army is complete, but the problem of military spending comes with it.

You can't be like Emperor Hongwu who wants the horse to run and doesn't give the horse grazing.

It is of course good for the army to have ideals and know why it is fighting, but if people rely on ideals alone, they can only drink the northwest wind, and they must face up to the legitimate interests of the army, so that the army can have combat effectiveness.

On this issue, the Tang Dynasty suffered a big loss.

Tang Yizong Xiantong nine years of Pang Xun rebellion, the reason is that the imperial court repeatedly broke the word, in order to save expenses, did not let the Jianghuai soldiers who had been guarding Guilin for six years return to their hometowns, the soldiers were angry and raised troops, and the people enthusiastically participated, and finally caused a great chaos that swept the rich land in the south of the empire, sounding the first death knell of the Tang Empire.

This rebellious army was an elite army with outstanding achievements in the hands of the Tang court, and had helped the imperial court to pacify many feudal towns.

The imperial court treated the meritorious troops in this way, ignoring the legitimate rights and interests of the soldiers, and the morale of the army was lost. This is not the first time, since the beginning of the Xuanzong Dynasty, the interests of the soldiers have been sacrificed by the imperial court for various reasons.

Normal channels cannot get due benefits, and can only be obtained through abnormal channels.

The soldiers supported their own leaders, attacked the prefectures and counties, or slaughtered officials sent by the imperial court.

The imperial court ignores the rights and interests of the soldiers, and the soldiers will also ignore the imperial court, and the dynasties after the Tang Dynasty are all like this.

Emperor Hongwu carried out the system of guards, and the soldiers became serfs of officers, and during the Jiajing period, dozens of Japanese robbers could go straight to the interior and fight under the city of Nanjing.

The soldiers and the court are so alienated, how can the court not collapse?

But how to distribute the benefits is another difficult problem.

Military merit awarded? How many acres of land can a bare Chang'an have?

Seal the official and make a wish? Don't end up making a bunch of knots.

Throwing a lot of money? The Later Tang Dynasty, the Later Jin Dynasty, and the Later Han Dynasty all played like this, whoever gave money was the emperor, and the war had to be paid, and the city defense had to be given money...... Don't give? We take it ourselves.

This is no longer an army.
