After the team entered the school field, a hundred golden armor soldiers quickly divided into left and right roads, and stood in a solemn formation around the point of the general, and then a cadre of civil and military ministers headed by Du Xingsheng greeted them on both sides, and only a year-old eunuch carefully opened the sedan curtain of Luanjia, and carefully supported Emperor Xuan Li Xun to get off the sedan chair until the dragon chair behind the point general, followed by the emperor is the regent Zhang Renliang in a python robe.

After Emperor Xuan sat down, Zhang Renliang stood aside, his sleeves were double-gloved, and his figure was bent, and Du Xingsheng took a group of important ministers and 10,000 soldiers of the new army to bow down to Emperor Xuan.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The shouts shook the heavens and the earth, like a tsunami from a mountain.

Tang Yin and Chen Ping'an stood abruptly in the crowd and only bowed slightly, not bowing down, Tang Yin was calm, Chen Ping'an was really a little embarrassed.

Emperor Xuan Li Xun was amazed by this huge scene in a wide dragon robe, but Zhang Renliang raised his hand slightly, and the older eunuch saw this, and took a step forward, and shouted in a sharp voice.

"All the soldiers are flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

The crowd rose up.

Then, one of the hundred officials walked out, and it was seen from the crane title on his chest and a set of bright red and beautiful official robes on his body that this person was Jia Wanli, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

Jia Shilang walked to the side of the general's platform, saluted Emperor Xuan slightly, and then turned to look at the more than 10,000 troops in the audience, and announced loudly at the top of his voice: "The new army ceremony has officially begun, and Du Shangshu of the military department will read out the edict of the new army." With that, he took out a scroll made of jade shaft yellow cloth from his sleeve, and handed it to Du Xingsheng on the side.

Du Xingsheng took the scroll very respectfully, turned around with his eyebrows raised and walked to the center of the point, shook his head and made a gesture, then slowly opened the scroll, coughed lightly, and read it out in a very official tone:

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and says: There is a vision in the sky, the society is uneasy, in this new and old replacement, at the turn of the troubled times, I order the army of the four seas, all the heroes are in danger of the country, and the people of our dynasty, up to the princes, down to the people of Li to join the new army, give the name of the dragon, in order to shake the eternal solidity of the country, plan the well-being of the people, and proclaim to the world, so that the salt makes known. ”

An edict indicates the formal establishment of the Long Dynasty Army of the Great Jing Dynasty.

Driven by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, all the soldiers knelt down and saluted again, shouting in unison.

"My emperor is sacred, the ministers are willing to go to the soup for my emperor and never give up. ”

Tang Yin still didn't kneel, Chen Ping'an looked at the people beside him, and after thinking about it, he still knelt down, after all, he didn't have the capital of a grandmaster.

The eunuch immediately shouted: "Flat!"

All the soldiers should say: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After everyone got up, Jia Shilang raised his voice and said, "Give the king flag!"

Knock, knock...... Knock, knock......

As soon as the words fell, the rhythmic drum beat of the three links suddenly sounded in the distance, and then, the sound of three long horns buzzed up, drifting through the gauzy mountain mist to the ten thousand mountain muntjacs.

At the moment when the two bright red flags swaying in the wind appeared on the Dianjiangtai, Jia Shilang shouted: "Hold the eye salute and greet the king's flag." ”

All the old generals who were born in various armies and were full of military feelings had blazing eyes, and they all bowed and looked from afar, and pointed to the side of the general's platform, only to see two flag guards dressed in golden armor holding two square flags with the words "Dajing" and "Longyi" written on them respectively. Immediately afterwards, in front of the stage, there were eight soldiers in black armor and red robes and bronze helmets symbolizing the new army of Long Yi in two rows, with solemn expressions and neat steps, kneeling down on one knee, and raising their heads to greet the Wang Qi.

"Long invite, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent will present the flag on behalf of Emperor Xuan. Jia Wanli shouted as he made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Renliang.

Zhang Renliang lowered his hands slightly, and after slightly arranging the hem of his clothes, he walked to the center of the Dianjiang platform with vigorous steps, stared at it for a while, and then reached out to hold the flagpole tightly, and solemnly placed the two flags in the hands of the flag-receiving soldiers.

"The whole army, kneel and receive the king's flag!"

"Knock, knock, knock", "knock, knock, knock", "knock, knock, knock", "knock, knock, knock......

The war drums beat again, only no longer in their original rhythm and more brisk and tense.

The eight flag-receiving soldiers, each in a group of four, two of them holding the flag and two of them protecting the flag, slowly got up and walked towards the stage step by step.

With a sound of "brush", all the soldiers of the Long Yi Army knelt down.

Surprisingly, this time, Tang Yin also knelt down, staring at the bright red king banner with a solemn expression.

It was not until the eight flag-receiving soldiers walked to the front of the military formation and erected the Wang flag on the flag stand that had been prepared that the flag awarding ceremony was over.

Etiquette is cumbersome, but it is also more solemn.

At this time, Jia Shilang continued to preach: "Long invite, Du Shangshu of the Ministry of War reads out the military law of the new army. ”

Du Xingsheng took a black scroll in the hand of the eunuch who was already standing beside him, bent slightly towards Emperor Xuan, and then strode forward, unfolded the scroll, and read out in a high-pitched voice: "My Dajing Dynasty is determined to worship martial arts, the French army is strong, since the creation of the ancestors, the first law in the army, inherited for four hundred years, the heavenly army is wanted, everything is wrong, the prestige is praised by the world, and the territory of Dajing is expanded, and the eternal solidification of the country is immortal." We are now commanded by Heaven to follow the instructions of our ancestors and follow the good habits of the former army, so as to promulgate this law to revitalize the army.

One of them: Hearing the drum does not enter, smelling the gold does not stop, the flag cannot be raised, the flag is not subdued, this is called rebelling against the army, and the offender is beheaded.

Second: the name should not be called, the time is not enough, the time is not violated, and the law of the teacher is changed, which is called a slow army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Third: Spread the battle at night, neglect and do not report, and even more plan to violate the slow, the voice is unknown, this is called slackness, and the offender is beheaded.

Fourth: complain more, anger its main general, do not listen to constraints, and teach it to be difficult to control, this is called forming an army, and the offender is beheaded.

Fifth: Laughing and laughing, defying the forbidden covenant, and rushing through the military gate, this is called a light army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Sixth: the weapons used, bows and crossbows, arrows without feathers, swords and halberds are unfavorable, and the flag is withered.

Seventh: Rumors and sophistry, fabricating ghosts and gods, pretending to dream, wanton heresy, and bewitching sergeants, this is called an adulterous army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Eighth: Good tongue and sharp teeth, acting in vain, transferring sergeants, making them discordant, this is called slandering the army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Ninth: Wherever he goes, he abuses his people, and if there is a fornication, a woman, this is called an adulterer, and the offender is beheaded.

Tenth: stealing people's property, thinking it for its own benefit, taking people's heads, thinking it as their own merit, this is called stealing the army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Eleventh: The army and the people gather to discuss matters, enter the tent privately, and listen to the military aircraft, which is called visiting the army, and the offender is beheaded.

The twelfth: or hear what is planned, and hear the order, leak it out, so that the enemy knows, this is called betraying the army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Its thirteenth: When calling, the tongue should not be stammered, the eyebrows are bowed, and the face is difficult, this is called a ruthless army, and the offender is beheaded.

Fourteenth: out of the army, before and after, noisy speech, do not obey the forbidden training, this is called a chaotic army, and the offender will be beheaded.

The fifteenth: to use the wound to avoid the expedition, pinch the wound and fake the death, so as to escape, this is called the fraud of the army, and the offender is beheaded.

Sixteenth: The master is in charge of money and food, and when he gives rewards, he is a private relative, so that the soldiers and soldiers have a grudge, which is called a bad army, and the offender is beheaded.

Its seventeenth: the observation of the thief is not tried, the thief is unknown, to the point of not speaking, more is less, less is more, this is called the wrong army, the offender is beheaded.

This military law 17 prohibitions and 54 beheadings, I hope that all the soldiers will remember when they hear it, think before acting, if they violate it, they will be severely punished. ”

The seventeen prohibitions were like a big net that choked everyone's throats for a while, and the entire school fell into silence.

Those veteran generals who themselves were born in the military camp can adapt, but it is undoubtedly bad news for those sons of families who have never experienced the military and just want to mix up their qualifications here.

When Du Xingsheng retreated to the side, at this time, a young eunuch took out a tray covered with a red cloth and walked to the point platform.

This time, everyone's hearts were raised, staring at Dianjiangtai with anticipation, and everyone guessed that this was something related to everyone's future and destiny - the edict of the general.

The people who can stand here are either famous generals who have made outstanding achievements in the military camp, or knights who have been famous in the martial arts for many years, or they are the families of powerful ministers.

In this newly established new army, everyone expects that they can be crowned an official and a half-post under the emperor's nose.

Jia Shilang cautiously lifted the red cloth, only to see a long golden silk lying inside, and he said in a long voice: "Long please, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent reads the edict of the general." ”

Zhang Renliang immediately stood upright, stepped forward majestically, raised his eyes and glanced at the soldiers in the audience, before taking the gold list and preaching slowly:

"Inheriting the heavens, my emperor has a fate, through which the new army is established, special open Enke, and the generals are enshrined. ”

Feng, the military department Shangshu Du Xingsheng and the commander of the marshal, the commander of the seal, the command of the whole army.

......”

Zhang Renliang spoke word by word, and then reversed with the echo of this deep mountain valley, which was very powerful, but when most of the old generals of the army in the audience heard it, it was particularly harsh.

And when Du Xingsheng's name was announced, most of the old generals in the audience were moved.

"Isn't it, he's the chief officer in the army?"

"Did he fight? Did he have military merit?"

"What can he do!"

Suddenly, more than 7,000 generals from all over the audience raised their heads one after another, and their eyes focused on this round, fat-headed, big-eared coach, and the heart that was originally mentioned fell three feet in an instant.

Most of these people want the old generals in the army, all of them are in the army, and now they have a civilian official who has not been in the military camp for a day, no matter how rich his military achievements and seniority, and who have not been in the military camp for a day, how can this be convincing?

People in the army are simple-minded, and they rely on who has military merits, who kills more enemies, and who has a hard fist. That doesn't matter if you're eight buckets tall and can speak well.

Dissatisfaction, disappointment, for a while, filled the eyes of every old general.

Zhang Renliang had no mental meeting, and read it out to himself: "Feng, the former Yanshan Weidu Governor Fan Liang is the deputy marshal, the deputy marshal Yin, and the marshal is the deacon of military affairs.

Feng, the former Taichang Temple Shaoqing Du Youcai is the general army counselor, the deputy marshal seal, in charge of the military staff affairs.

Feng, the former deputy governor of Yanshanwei, Chang Yuan, was the deputy military counselor, the commander of the army seal, the counselor of the general army, and the military merit rewards and punishments.

Feng, the former governor of Yanshan Weidu, Lin Feng, was the deputy army counselor, the commander of the army seal, the counselor of the general army, and the military training class.

Feng, the former criminal department servant Tian Changzhou is the deputy military counselor, the commander of the military seal, in charge of the armament and salary.

Feng, the former Dali Temple Qing Fang Yu overseer army commander, deputy general seal, in charge of the supervision of the army discipline.

......

Feng, Chen Ping'an, the little marquis of Yongle Houfu, was the captain of the supervising army, the captain of the school, and the commander of the military discipline inspection. ”

......

"Hey, why me?" Chen Ping'an suddenly heard his name in a daze, and was stunned, as if something suddenly fell from the sky and hit his head. At the same time, I heard a constant whisper coming from beside me.

"Oh my God, why is he ......"

"Why is it that squirrel!"

"Hey, Your Majesty the Emperor, are you serious?"

Chen Ping'an never thought that he could be an official in the army, and even because of Tang Yin's affairs, he was constantly worried about his future survival situation, he never expected that he had no achievements, and he was incapable, and he could still have the title of overseer captain. His eyes rolled slightly, and the only reasonable explanation might be that the old man in the family had played a role.

For Chen Ping'an to win this award, most of the sons and brothers who knew Chen Ping'an were not convinced.

Although Du Youcai is a bit unexpected to canonize the General Staff of the military, but Du Youcai is indeed a talented person, he was selected by Emperor Gong as the prince's companion when he was a teenager, and later after the prince disappeared, he has been acting in the palace Taixue, and has participated in the repair and writing of many roster classics, and I don't know when he sealed a Taichang Temple Shaoqing, although he has no real power, he is also a familiar figure in the court.

For a while, the sons of Shangjing were uneasy.

In the same sentence, how can he be virtuous.

Chen Ping'an heard the discussion behind him, and couldn't help but snort coldly, giving everyone a blank look.

Huang Tingxuan looked innocent, stood behind Chen Ping'an and stabbed Chen Ping'an's waist with his hand, and said pitifully: "Captain Chen, it's all up to you to take care of you in the future!"

Wu Xiaofan underestimated in his heart, and always felt that Chen Ping'an's official title was a little weird.

......

"Feng, the former commander of the former Yulin Guard Palace, Wu Xiang was the captain of the scout, the captain seal, and the head of the scout camp. ”

After spending about half an hour of incense, Zhang Renliang finally read out a total of 148 generals and officers of the Long Yi Army and the marshal.

Of the 148 generals who have been made public, none of them are from the more than 7,000 veteran generals.

Some speculate, some wonder, some are lost, and some are indignant.

For a time, there was a commotion in the field, and there was a lot of uproar, but fortunately the emperor was there in person, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces did not dare to make more trouble.

Zhang Renliang raised his eyes and stared at the audience, his face was cold, and his breathing became more and more solemn. He put away the scroll and handed it to the eunuch beside him, without saying much, he flicked his long sleeves and walked back to Emperor Xuan.

Then, Jia Shilang looked embarrassed, so he had to continue to shout:

"Fan Liang, deputy marshal of the Xuanlong Imperial Army, promulgated the law on the selection of generals in the new army. ”

How to choose?

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up.

After that, a person wearing a set of military armor and a sword hanging from his waist walked to the front of the general's platform, saluted Emperor Xuan, and then turned around and held a yellow silk and read aloud to the soldiers of the new army:

"By the edict of our emperor:

At the beginning of the founding of the army, the roots of the generals were undecided, and in order to maintain a fair policy and select the materials for the troops, this method of selecting generals was specially promulgated to select 100 generals under the direct command of each department of the Long Yi Army in addition to the above-mentioned 148.

According to the system of the Dragon Army, the Shenwu Pavilion will be formed by the masters of each major sect, with a pavilion master, and your Excellency will set up three halls of seven killings, broken armies, and greedy wolves, each with a hall master, each hall will have three departments, and each will have a department commander. The rest of the people are divided into three guards according to the lot, tiger ben, wolf eagle, and dragon sparrow, each guard has a commander, each guard is divided into five battalions, each has a captain, each battalion is divided into four teams, and each has a team leader. One pavilion and three guards, three halls and fifteen battalions, nine departments and sixty teams. In addition, there are three teams of scouts, medical guards, and baggage directly under the military staff.

According to the method of selecting generals, from tomorrow, the Shenwu Pavilion and each guard will be divided into camps, and the competition will be held in the school field, and the generals will be selected according to the ranking of the competition. The first person in the competition will be named the commander, the second to the fourth person will be the hall master and the captain, and so on. In addition, those who are awarded the title of commander can be rewarded with 100 taels of gold and 20 acres of fertile land, and those who are awarded the title of commander and hall master will be given 50 taels of gold and 10 acres of fertile land.

In addition, the selection of generals for all competitions is voluntary, and those who are interested in running for the election can register at the Military Staff Office.

Chin this. ”

......

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and after a moment of silence, the audience finally couldn't help but let out a large number of riots.

In the past, the appointment of generals in the army was extremely cautious. Centurion and below the rank of general can be promoted by military merit, directly appointed and dismissed by the chief general, but to the rank of captain, it is necessary to score military merits, conduct inspection, official recommendation, imperial court appointment four steps, to the level of hussar commander, but also requires the skillful use of the art of war and the ability to deal with emergencies. In this way, the method of selecting generals only by military is the first of its kind in the new army since ancient times.

Some veterans who have lived in the barracks for many years and have no choice but to be selected here can't help but sigh slightly.

They know very well that the military camp is not a martial arts sect, and the daily practice is nothing more than chopping, stabbing, splitting, and sudden, and a few blunt moves, how can there be any formal swordsmanship and knife cultivation, so most of the soldiers' martial arts are not superb, and few people can be in charge of the war in a war, and they can win a battle only by relying on a general who can have deep qualifications, match virtues, and gather people's hearts, as well as the determination of all soldiers to unite and regard death as home.

The real war is made out of the corpses of the dead.

As for one's martial arts cultivation, not only is it useless. On the contrary, the higher the martial arts cultivation, the more arrogant and difficult it is to get along with, how can such a person lead troops?

Ridiculous, simply ridiculous!

Except for a small number of young and vigorous young talents who are eager to try, many veterans in the army can't help but be indignant and rude, and shout and scold.

Seeing the movement in the audience, Jia Shilang hurriedly stepped forward and shouted loudly with all the strength of his life: "Long please, the commander of the Long Yi army will order the new army." Only then was there a slight silence on the school ground.

Du Xingsheng shook his body and walked to the front of the general's platform, his fat and broad body was as thick as a mountain, and behind him were a high-ranking officer in the army headed by Deputy Marshal Fan Liang.
