The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 259 Three fires when the new official took office

Chapter 259
Originally, he wanted to take Xiao Sizi there to pretend to be arrogant, but Shimin, the person who delivered the luggage to the army that day and personally confessed to Baiqisi, didn't need to take her there.

As the emperor's personal guard, Baiqisi's camp is just outside the Anli Gate, and further north is the Longshouyuan Royal Hunting Ground.

Speaking of which, it is not far from Changlefang, and it will take a short ride to get there.

The soldiers guarding the gate of the camp saw their menacing appearance, and immediately raised their spears and said, "Stop coming, this is an important place in the military camp, and idlers are not allowed to approach."

Chen Jingke hadn't lived enough and had no intention of forcibly breaking into the barracks, so he reined in his horse and stopped not far away.

Without waiting for his order, Xu Shanying took the initiative to step forward and said: "Tell Captain Jing and Captain Sheng that Zhenren Chen is here, and let them come out to meet him."

These sentries had obviously been ordered, and immediately asked, "But Zixiaoguan Chen Zhenren?"

Xu Shanying said: "Yes."

After confirming that it was him, the sentinel did not dare to neglect, and said: "Everyone, please wait a moment, I will inform the two captains right away."

Then a sentry trotted into the camp.

Chen Jingke raised his eyes and looked inside the camp, and found that everything was in order.I don't know if it's a deliberate disguise, or it's just like this usually.

He tends to the latter. The military discipline of the Tang army in the early Tang Dynasty was still very strict, and Baiqisi, as the emperor's personal guard, must have stricter military discipline requirements.

Soon Jing Hengyan and Sheng Liwei showed up at the door with a group of officers: "I've seen a real person."

Only then did Chen Jingke get down from his horse and said, "Excuse me, I'll trouble you all."

Jing Heng said: "Don't dare, this is a matter of duty, please come from the real person."

A soldier came to take the horse away and resettle it, and Chen Jingke entered the camp accompanied by everyone.

"From my rough observations, the Baiqi Division has strict military discipline, and this is all thanks to you."

Jing Heng said: "Thank you, Daoist Master, for your compliment. We are the emperor's personal guards, and we only hope not to embarrass the saint."

While speaking, they arrived at the camp, and Chen Jingke sat in the main seat without politeness.Jing Hengyan was sitting on the left as the captain should, and Sheng Liwei was sitting on the right as his deputy.

The next step is to introduce the officials of the Baiqi Division one by one, and they get to know each other.

Jing Hengyan's side is basically from a noble family background, and Sheng Liwei's side is almost from a bad family background. The two sides are quite distinct.

Chen Jingke had already investigated Baiqisi's situation clearly, and had already made a comprehensive plan, so he said immediately:
"It's very good. I am both happy and disappointed that no one finds an excuse to ask for leave to give me a big shot."

Jing Hengyan glanced contemptuously at the opposite side, and said: "The real man is joking, the most important rules in the army, whoever dares to disobey the military law will be courting death."

Sheng Liwei also responded with disdain: "Really, please don't worry. We all come from poor families to appreciate the grace of the saint, and we are not as arrogant and domineering as some dudes."

"Hmph." The two glared at each other and sat down angrily.

Chen Jingke thought it was wonderful, and said: "That would be great. It is said that a new official takes office three fires, and I am no exception. I hope you can help me burn these fires."

All the people said in unison: "Really please give me instructions."

Chen Jingke showed a hint of teasing in his expression, and said, "First fire, let's exchange positions."

Everyone showed puzzled expressions, Jing Hengyan asked: "I don't understand something, please ask the real person to explain in detail."

Chen Jingke pointed at the two sides, and said: "Swap positions, you go and lead their soldiers, and they lead your soldiers."

"Ah?" Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, which song is this going to sing?
"Really, this...isn't it a joke?" Sheng Liwei couldn't help but said.

Chen Jingke's face turned cold, and he said, "A joke? Are you accusing me, or questioning Datang's military discipline?"

Shocked in Sheng Liwei's heart, he hastily apologized: "This subordinate made a mistake, please forgive me, sir."

Chen Jingke said indifferently: "If you commit the first crime, I will forgive you once. If anyone dares to commit the crime next time, I can forgive you, but I can't forgive you."

"Here." Sheng Liwei's momentum was taken away, and he didn't dare to speak for a while.

The others also felt the majesty of this little real person, and finally realized that this is the head of Baiqi Division appointed by the saint himself.

You can look down on him and bully him when he is young—if you are not afraid of military punishment.

Chen Jingke glanced around, and everyone who was seen lowered their hands and lowered their eyebrows: "Who has any opinions?"

No one answered.

"Why, want to use silence to object?"

"Don't dare, the subordinates are following the real person's orders."

Only then did Chen Jingke say with satisfaction: "Very good. In order to prevent someone from being obedient to others, I want you to know all the new subordinates well."

"What's your name, how old are you, how many people are there in your family, what kind of business you're in, how much you're paid, whether there's any difficulty in your family..."

"The more detailed the better, I will conduct an assessment after one month, and those who fail to pass will be kicked out of Baiqi Division."

Hearing the last sentence, those who were still a little careless quickly put away their small thoughts.

This method is a copy of the Rabbit’s policy in the Jinggangshan period. Everyone has different experiences from all over the world, and they look down on each other and conflicts abound.

So some big guys thought of this method, exchanging officers with each other.Don't you look down on each other?Then go and see for yourself what the other person thinks.

When these military officers understand each other's thoughts of the grassroots officers and soldiers of the other side, they will no longer be able to discriminate against them.

After the exchange was completed and returned to the old army, I began to speak positively about the other party.In cooperation with the excellent ideological work, everyone was smoothly twisted into a rope.

What Chen Jingke has to do is the same thing. No matter whether this method works in Datang, it is always good to try it.

Having said this, Chen Jingke said again: "Now let me talk about the second fire. The Baiqi Division has five teams under its jurisdiction. From today on, my five guards will go to each team to serve as instructors."

"What?" Now the five captains were unwilling, including Jing Hengyan and Sheng Liwei.
Everyone voiced their objections one after another. In a word, it was a matter of great importance.

Chen Jingke just watched them making noise without saying a word.

After a while, everyone gradually came to their senses, realized something was wrong, and stopped talking.
Chen Jingke then said: "Why are you not arguing anymore? Go on, it's the first time I've seen a military camp like a vegetable market, thank you for making me more knowledgeable."

Everyone looked embarrassed, but more angry, this person didn't respect us at all.

"I know you are not convinced, it doesn't matter, you are all the personal guards of the saint, can you complain to the saint and replace me?"

"But until I'm not replaced, you all must listen to me, otherwise don't blame me for serving the military law."

"The most important thing in the Tang Dynasty is people, and there is no shortage of young people who want to make contributions. If you don't want to work in Baiqisi, there are people who are willing."

"Now you either go to the saint to complain and get rid of it, or you just listen to me honestly, otherwise I don't mind replacing all the disobedient people."

"How about it? Do you want me to leave first and give you time to complain?"
