Chapter 405: Breaking into the Golden Gate Army
Mu Linhan shook his head, there are no soldiers in the county, only dozens of old, weak, sick and disabled people, those people are not worthy of the forbidden army to call in person, they must have other purposes.
"Third brother, you send a few more people, keep an eye on them carefully, don't slack off at all, I want to see what this prince of the Wu Dynasty is going to do?"
Li Yunxing, who they were afraid of, had already left the camp at this time and came to the territory under the jurisdiction of the Kinmen army, and as soon as they arrived nearby, a group of Kinmen troops surrounded the area, led by a young man with a spear in his hand.
"Who are you? Why is it here? ”
Li Yunxing slowly walked to the carriage and showed his Danshu gold medal, and when he saw the gold medal, the young man obviously recognized what it was, and his face was a little ugly.
"You guys wait here, I'll go back and tell you."
Jiang Shan came over, he felt that he was embroidered and dressed, he had been with Emperor Wu before, and he knew the affairs of the DPRK and China very well, but he had never heard of the Golden Gate Army before.
The military camps in the world belong to the imperial court, although the four major battalions belonged to different forces before, but that was just a secret thing, on the surface, the four battalions must listen to the orders of Emperor Wu after all, the prince is in charge of the country, and the four battalions naturally have to listen to the prince.
So when he fought the Huns before, Li Yunxing ordered the southeast army to come to support, and Liu Chen only dared to make some small moves, shirking that he was not enough food and grass to go on the road, but later he was cracked by Li Yunxing, not to mention losing his life, and also took back the military power of the southeast army.
But at the moment, this Kinmen army is a little strange, Li Yunxing can obviously order them to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Qingfeng Village, but he embarrassed Liu Qizhuo and asked him to participate in the maneuvering, after Liu Qizhuo refused, the prince actually came to the Kinmen Army territory in person, and if he hadn't come to Jingzhou with the prince this time, he was afraid that he would never have heard that there was such an army guarding the Jingzhou territory.
The young man said that he was going back to tell him, but only he left by himself, and the rest of the soldiers still surrounded Li Yunxing and the others, one by one, with condensed faces, putting on an arrogant appearance, as if they didn't know that the person in front of him was the prince of the court.
"Your Highness, what is the origin of this Golden Gate Army, which dares to be so presumptuous to you?"
Li Yunxing raised his eyes and glanced around the soldiers sitting on the horses, and smiled slightly.
"Counting the strength of the Wu Dynasty, in addition to the four major battalions, there are also forbidden troops and garrison guards guarding the capital, and the smaller ones are state armies from all over the country, and there are also defenders in the passes, in addition, there are many stragglers like the Kinmen Army, but the Kinmen Army should be the oldest among them, and it is also the most uncontrollable."
Even if the Kinmen Army already existed at the time of the emperor's grandfather, its predecessor was a branch separated from the forbidden army, and the south was mostly rice and other grain-producing grains, which were related to the grain depot, so they mostly guarded some bandits and thieves nearby, in other words, the border army guarded the external disaster, and the Kinmen army and other stragglers guarded the internal strife.
The original intention was good, but after Emperor Wu succeeded to the throne, he focused on the four major battalions and the forbidden army, and ignored these stragglers, and even wanted to integrate them into the forbidden army.
These stragglers are naturally unwilling, they have been living in various places for too long, and have long been inseparable from the local people, most of the first batch of soldiers have returned to their hometowns, and the young people in the new army are young adults from nearby villages, and they have no concept of the forbidden army.
At that time, many stragglers began to contact each other to find a solution, at that time, Emperor Wu was too young, and the position was not yet secure, and old people like the Golden Gate Army found a breakthrough, merged some of the stragglers around him, strengthened himself, and made a pass here to put pressure on Emperor Wu.
Emperor Wu was also in a situation of internal and external troubles at that time, and he didn't want the Jinmen army to follow and mix, so he agreed to the other party's request and kept it, and then he was busy dealing with Liu Zhongqing and others, and he was slowly in no mood to care about these stragglers.
No one in the DPRK cares about them, so naturally there is no appropriation, and I don't know how the generals of the Kinmen Army are maintained, the number of soldiers only increases every year, and the weapons can always be kept new, and even there is a certain deterrent power in this vicinity, so no one dares to mess with Liu Qizhuo in Jingzhou, but it can't guarantee what will happen after he goes to Kyoto.
After hearing this, Jiang Shan nodded with a sigh, he never thought that there was such a reason for this, but he thought of Emperor Wu's scheming appearance, and he really couldn't think of the appearance that he could still be threatened when he was young.
Liu Zhongqing couldn't make any trouble in the follow-up, why didn't Emperor Wu deal with the Kinmen Army?
He has been with the old emperor for so long, he never believes that he will not be in the mood to care about these stragglers, the old emperor has no room for sand in his eyes, and as long as he recognizes something, it must be done, even if ten or twenty years have passed, it will not shake his mind.
Jiang Shan couldn't figure it out, but Li Yunxing knew his father very well, but it was hard to say for such reasons.
It's not so much that the old emperor was not in the mood to care about it later, it's better to say that he was deliberately indulging, after all, the Golden Gate Army was subordinate to the imperial court, which could co-opt the scattered youth around him, and also curb bandits and thieves, and most importantly, he didn't need the imperial court to allocate funds, just like God's gift, this kind of advantage is not taken advantage of.
However, the Kinmen Army was not self-reliant before, but it was subordinate to the court after all, and naturally it had to contribute to the court, so it was time for them to contribute.
Soon, the boy rode back, looked a little ugly, and glared at them.
"Come with us, the general wants to see you."
Li Yunxing didn't care about the young man's disrespect, got back into the carriage, and waved his hand to Jiang Shan, so their convoy followed the young man in the direction of the barracks, but after walking two miles, the young man nodded his chin.
"The next road can only be you go with me alone, the general said, only to see the person holding the token, and the rest of the people stay where they are."
Jiang Shan frowned, the Golden Gate Army was nominally subordinate to the imperial court, but there was always a little uncertainty, and he was not at all at ease to let the prince go in alone.
"Bastard, what you are looking at is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I am His Highness's personal bodyguard, and I must follow His Highness's side."
Jiang Shan was emotional, and told Li Yunxing's identity, the young man heard that the person standing in front of him was the prince, it was not surprising, after all, there were very few people who could get the gold medal of Danshu, he was a little suspicious at the time, and after he went back to tell the general, the general had already told him that this person was the prince of the dynasty.
"Either you're the only one to enter, or none of you are going to enter."
