The rise of the prince

Chapter 333
In mid-June, news came again from the north that the Liao people went south again.

Three days before the battle report arrived in Beijing, Li Xingzhou received Wei Qingyu's secret letter.

It said the details of the Liao people going south, as well as the sources of information.

Wei Chaoren bought the Khitan nomads on the border with gold and silver, and let the herdsmen act as spies for them. The herdsmen could speak the Khitan dialect and nomad around without arousing suspicion, so they were the first to know that the army was going south.

According to Wei Qingyu, there are hundreds of thousands of Liao people going south, but Liao people are like this every time, because they are nomads, and they drag their families to fight. There are not so many people who can fight, but she is not very worried.

In the next few days, the imperial court also issued an order, and the response was much calmer than the rebellion in the south. I probably got used to it early on, and the great victory in the south was inspiring.

The imperial court quickly mobilized and dispatched the Jiangxian army from Jiangzhou and the Xiang army from Yanmen and other places to go north and defend the city. It was difficult for the Liao people to attack. Surrounded by the Jurchen who came from nowhere and attacked.

Li Xingzhou shook his head, these days are really not peaceful.

But then I realized, yes, this is not the era when there will be nuclear deterrence in the future, and everyone dare not do it for small fights. The price of defeat is small, so fighting is almost commonplace.

He has more important things to do, and that is to take over the new army.

The new army is numbering 5000 people, directly under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council, and now some are handed over by the emperor to the king of Pingnan County and the champion general.

Even so, Li Xingzhou joined the Privy Council and was an official of the Privy Council, but anyone with a discerning eye knew how the Privy Council could manage Prince Pingnan.

These have elements of grace, but they also have elements to prevent King Pingnan from being controlled by the Privy Council.

In this way, the new army is truly under the control of the Tian family.

Li Xingzhou is naturally happy, he doesn't care about the power struggle between the emperor and the Privy Council, this is an armed force that truly belongs to him!
Because all the forbidden troops are trained by the Sanya, and the Privy Council is mobilized, that is, the Privy Council can transfer troops but cannot command them, while the Sanya can command troops but cannot transfer troops. (The so-called Sanya refers to the Dianqian Division, the Ma Jun Division of the Guard Army, and the Infantry Division of the Guard Army. The chief officials are Yang Hongzhao, the Commander of the Dianqian, Zhao Guanghua, the Commander of the Horse Army of the Guard Army, and Tong Guan, the Commander of the Infantry Army of the Guard Army.)
The Privy Council is the highest military command body in the country. The military deployment, war mobilization, and war command are all responsibilities of the Privy Council, and it also leads the affairs of the Ministry of War.

There are twelve rooms under it: Guanbei Room, Jingxi Room, Zhicha Room, Zaijing Room, Review Room, Jiannan Room, Military Register Room, Militia Room, Official Room, Zhiza Room, Zhima Room, and Small Official Room.

Most of the twelve rooms are set up according to the classification of affairs, and some of them are specially set up for war, so as to quickly respond. These two rooms are prepared to deal with wars that may occur at any time.

As for Jingxi Fang, because the west of Beijing is the last barrier of Beijing, although the west of Beijing is designated as a road, there is no Jiedushi. Among them, many prefectures and counties of Ningjiang Prefecture are assigned to the west of Beijing, and there is also an army stationed in the west of Beijing. For Jiang Xianjun, protect the last gate of Jingguo.

And the new army does not belong to the Sanya Yangxun, but directly belongs to the Privy Council, which means that the power to command and dispatch troops is unified!As a member of the Privy Council, Li Xingzhou is also the commander-in-chief of the new army. He can not only train and train the new army, but also mobilize the new army.

When Li Xingzhou went to the Privy Council to lead the military talisman, he was ready to deal with Zhong Daoyu's embarrassment. After all, the relationship between the two was not happy, and they still had grievances that had not been settled.

Yan Shen followed him to the gate of the Privy Council. There were two stone lions taller than a person, and two soldiers in black military uniforms guarded the gate. There was no one around. Meet some luxuriously dressed people wandering at the door.

But there was no one at the gate of the Privy Council. Thinking about it, who would dare to talk and intercede.

Li Xingzhou dismounted while talking, Yan Shen went over to hand over his waist badge, and the two gatekeepers quickly saluted and opened the door, and they entered the inner courtyard after a while.

The office of the Privy Council is very large, and the decoration is broken down and simple, not as exquisite as that of De Gong. After staying in the courtyard and entering the main hall, Zhong Daoyu is already waiting there. How is Tsuka-sama."

"Thanks to the great blessing of the prince, the old man is still healthy and healthy." Zhong Daoyu also replied expressionlessly.

"Aren't your lords going to serve tea?"

Zhong Daoyu shook his head: "It's just a trivial matter, there's no time for a cup of tea, why bother to serve tea, the prince is here to lead the army today, right?"

Li Xingzhou nodded, wondering what the old man was doing.

Zhong Daoyu called the concierge to give some instructions, and after a while Wei Chuan brought up a red sandalwood box, on which were placed gold tiger rune documents, and a set of beautiful leather-inlaid metal decorative armor, which was called Yijia.

Li Xingzhou didn't expect Zhong Daoyu to be so forthright, and he didn't mean to embarrass him.

Hesitating slightly, he walked over, took the plate, and before he had time to say more, Zhong Daoyu waved his hand and said, "Wei Chuan, see off the guests." His attitude was extremely bad, Yan Shen was so angry that he almost jumped up and cursed.

Li Xingzhou nodded and left. He didn't want to say more, since his goal had been achieved anyway.

When the figure disappeared at the door, Wei Chuan said in confusion: "General, just... just give it to him, it's your heart and soul."

"So what if you don't give it? It's nothing more than delaying the time and jeopardizing the affairs of the state. Let's break it up." Zhong Daoyu sighed, and then said: "Although he didn't say anything, he has always been merciful to me, Zhong, and surrendered to him. Repay a peach for a plum, it’s just a reward for a reward.”

Quickly walking out of the gate all the way, Li Xingzhou picked up the military talisman and looked curiously at the half-made golden tiger.

He has heard of this thing before, but this is the first time he has seen the real thing. The last time he sent troops, the emperor did not give him a tiger charm, but directly ordered it.

There are also beautiful small characters engraved on the golden tiger: "The talisman of the armor of soldiers, the ruler of the right, and the society of the left. Every soldier wearing armor and conquering with troops must know the talisman, so he dares to do it."

This is the golden tiger, which has different shapes and materials. Li Xingzhou, the commander, only has the left half in his hand, and the other half is in the hands of the emperor. If he wants to send troops, he must get the other half of the emperor. Troops can be sent, which is the so-called "compliance".

Another set of armor is very beautifully decorated, but in fact it only has a thin layer of leather.

This is the ceremonial armor, which is the armor worn by military generals when they hold various ceremonies. Many military generals in later generations will wear gorgeous and exaggerated armors, and the prototype is all ceremonial armors.

In fact, military generals only wear ritual armor on occasions such as ceremonies to sacrifice to heaven, and they would not wear it in real battles.

The soldier talisman is in hand, which means that the new army is already in hand
Li Xingzhou happily called Ji Chunsheng and Di Zhi over, and they went to Tingyu Tower to have a big drink.

The next day, he went to the camp of the new army in person, which was located in the southeast, and was basically separated from the camp of the forbidden army. Then he set up his king's flag, showed his tiger charm, and formally took over the new army.

As for the training of the new army, Di Zhi and Yan Shen will be in charge, because the Shenji Battalion has been trained before, and it was also in the bloody battlefield in the south. Now everyone in Beijing knows the story of the Shenji Battalion. Most of the soldiers are very convinced.

Steps, formation training, firearm use training, and trust training, Di Zhi has long been familiar with this set.
