People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 466 Five Thousand Soldiers
Some things make sense to different people.

To be reasonable with someone like Cheng Chumo is to find trouble for nothing.

This person's brain circuit is not at a normal level.

Li Zhengchang sighed, "It's all right."

Cheng Chumo stroked his chin and pondered, "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run."

Li Zheng asked again: "Brother Chu Mo, do you know how to have a baby?"

Cheng Chumo frowned and was thinking, shaking his head slightly.

Very good, it seems that Cheng Chumo is still a straight man of steel, and he is inexplicably relieved.

Yu Chigong hadn't come to Jingyang yet, but Li Ji came first.

"I have seen General Li Ji." Li Zheng said hastily.

Along with Li Ji came the military secretary, who saluted Li Zheng and said, "I have seen the general."

The recorder is the subordinate of the lieutenant general. Generally speaking, it is the one who records things in the army and belongs to the civilian officials in the army.

The recorder said: "This time I came here to enroll Jingyang's guards into the Longwu Army according to His Majesty's order. All Jingyang's guards must be incorporated."

The trilogy entering the Longwu Army is the soldier of the Longwu Army.

You can get the salary in the army, Li Zheng asked: "General, don't my guards have to obey the arrangement of the general?"

Li Ji sneered and said, "What? You don't want to?"

Li Zheng said with emotion: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that my guards here are all farming men in the village. How can I get into the eyes of the Longwu Army."

Li Ji said indifferently: "Isn't the soldier in the Weifu in the army from a farmer's background?"

"But my guards are only used to watch the nursing home."

"The caretakers of the nursing home can go out to practice and then they can fight."

Li Zheng took Yu Chigong aside and said: "The guards in my village are just guarding the courtyard. Besides, most of them are just with families. Protecting the village is also protecting their own family members. Many people may not The idea of ​​enlisting."

Li Ji said: "There is some truth in what you say, but His Majesty's decision is inappropriate?"

Li Zheng nodded, "That must be His Majesty's reason."

Li Ji: "Huh?"

Realizing that this was not true, Li Ji cupped his hands towards Chang'an and said, "Li Zheng's open mouth will eventually be ineffective, so I hope His Majesty will not be offended."

Li Zheng thought that Li Shimin would not be able to hear him in the palace, so he said to Li Ji: "General, how about we discuss it first?"

Li Ji nodded, "Alright."

He dragged Li Ji to the camp of the guards, and they sat down.

Li Zhengxian said: "General, how about this, the guards here are not listed in the military register."

The recorder immediately said: "It is not a trivial matter for five thousand soldiers to enter your Jingyang. It is better to register and make a crime."

Li Zheng said, "Listen to me."

Li Ji looked at Li Zheng strangely and signaled Lu not to speak beforehand.

"Our Jingyang guards now only have more than 200 people. Of course, when the manpower of General Yuchi Gong arrives, the people of General Yuchi Gong will be regarded as retired veterans, right?"

The recorder nodded.

Li Zheng said again: "Let's make another brochure first, and list my Jingyang guards as the reserve of the Longwu Army."

"Reserve?"

"It's just an internship. Starting from the internship, if you are not a regular member of the Longwu Army, you don't need to pay the military salary. I will give them their wages."

The recorder pondered what Li Zheng said.

Li Ji said, "Li Zheng, do you know what His Majesty and General Yuchi Gong are worried about?"

Li Zheng shook the fan in his hand and said, "Worried that these people will become my private army?"

Li Ji said: "But you are the deputy general of the Longwu Army, so there is nothing wrong with you bringing your own soldiers and horses. Since the soldiers and horses you bring can only belong to the Longwu Army and also belong to the court."

"That's natural."

Li Zheng nodded again and again, "In this case, we should be included in the reserve service first. If there are soldiers and horses in the court who need to go out, all the guards in the Jingyang area must be bound."

Li Ji said to the military recorder: "Let's do it this way."

After the general had spoken, the recorder had no choice but to nod.

Li Ji went on to say: "The old man has one more condition, which is also His Majesty's condition."

"Please speak, General."

Li Ji said: "Your Jingyang guards can't be equipped with more weapons than compound bows. If you don't have swords in your hands, you can rest assured."

Li Zheng put down the fan in his hand, "Is this also His Majesty's order?"

Li Ji smiled and shook his head, "This is not an order from His Majesty, but an advice from this old man."

Li Zheng quickly said: "I must remember the teachings of the general."

The generals in the court need someone to take over. Among the young generals in the court, there are not many new juniors who can be of great use.

Li Zheng was one of them, and Li Ji knew this very well.

If one generation is not as good as the first generation, there will be fewer and fewer good generals in the army.

The veteran generals back then, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, and Cheng Yaojin, which one of them didn't kill them.

The young general had never experienced that kind of killing.

There is no such awe for the art of war and the military.

Even Cheng Yaojin, an old man, knows that fighting is life.

Li Zheng is a talented kid, but it's a pity that Li Jing accepted him as a disciple. If he had the chance, Li Ji planned to teach Li Zheng himself.

The most important thing to be a general in the army is to obey orders. This is also Li Zheng's biggest shortcoming. Li Zheng is not a person who will follow orders step by step.

After feeling emotionally in his heart, Li Ji stood up and said to the recorder: "Go and do things, do as Li Zheng said, as for His Majesty, the old man will go and talk about it."

After the recorder joined the army and left, Li Ji stared at Li Zheng again.

Avoiding Li Ji's gaze, Li Zheng said, "Is there anything else you want to tell the general?"

Li Ji said, "Is it because of your business that the current Turkic ending is caused?"

Li Zheng cupped his hands and said, "I made the general laugh."

"Aren't you laughing? You can push the Turks into such a situation with a single business. It's not ridiculous."

"It's all some shady means."

Li Ji said with a look of disgust: "It's really shameful."

Li Zheng: "..."

All right, don't argue with Li Ji, compare others who lived so many years earlier than yourself, business in later generations is almost no different from war.

Wars are caused by business, and wars are caused by resources. There are many examples of using business to control wars in later generations.

In this era of slash-and-burn farming, the concept of scholars, farmers, businessmen is deeply rooted in people's minds.

Farming is a glorious profession, and agriculture has been the cornerstone since ancient times.

Those who do business often don't do farming, and have a feeling of getting something for nothing.

Fortunately, the folk customs of Datang are still open, they don't discriminate against businessmen so much, and they are inclusive.

Yu Chigong finally came to Jingyang with five thousand soldiers.

Li Ji and Yuchi greeted each other with a smile.

Knowing that the brigade was coming, Li Ke and Cheng Chumo also hurried over.

Yu Chigong said to Li Zheng: "Stinky boy, these soldiers are all the elites brought out by the old man, and they are cheap for you."

"Thank you, General." Li Zheng said with a slight salute, saying so, how many of these soldiers are Li Shimin's eyeliner.
