Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 438 Martial Arts (6)

After the formation was set up and practiced again, Zhuge Yan walked up to Xu Qing with a smile and said, "General Xu, the soldiers gathered here today, one is to let the general have a look at our training results these days, and two, The soldiers have not played for a long time, this..."

Xu Qing laughed loudly and said, "No wonder, it feels like you are always absent-minded. How about this, let's do what we have practiced before today!"

All the soldiers cheered after hearing this.Then Xu Qing said: "However, in future competitions, not only the outstanding ones will be rewarded, but the poor ones will also be punished. Do you still want to compete?"

"want!"

However, the voice of this word is much lower than the good voice just now, Xu Qing thought, it seems that there is still Mr. Nan Guo.Xu Qing said slowly: "The future rewards will be like this. For example, for example, if you do push-ups, the one who does the most will get [-] coins, the second to fifth will be [-] coins. The fifth to tenth will be one Baiwen. However, everyone still has a minimum limit, and those who fail to reach it will be punished."

Zhuge Yan laughed and said, "General Xu, what are you punishing?"

Xu Qing glanced at the people present. The seven phalanxes consisted of five battle formations and two auxiliary formations.Auxiliary soldiers are to do some auxiliary work for the battle sequence, such as repairing armor, carrying food and grass, managing mules and horses, and can also be used as a reserve team when defending the city.Of course, the composition of the auxiliary soldiers is relatively complicated, with craftsmen and sick people.

But Xu Qing's army is Yuan Cong's Forbidden Army. There are not only veterans from Taiyuan, but also sons and brothers who came up after the veterans died.In addition, the former weak soldiers, after growing up and being baptized with blood, have become stronger now, and those who were originally strong are gradually aging.Therefore, there is actually a big difference between the composition of the 3000 yuan from the personnel of the Forbidden Army and the actual working ability of the personnel.Xu Qing also discovered recently that there are many elite soldiers in the auxiliary soldiers, and there are many people who eat and drink in the battle sequence.

Auxiliary Soldier Sequence and Battle Sequence have different functions and status.Those who fight, go to battle and kill the enemy, you can use military merit to rise, even if you don't kill the enemy, once you win, you can still be honored.Because in any battle in ancient times, the casualties were very heavy, but there were often many young generals at the grassroots level, such as gang leaders and captains.As long as you survive and win the battle, you can often make up a small official.On the day of his retirement, he will not worry about property and mansions, and there is even a gift from a scattered official of the lowest rank.

But the auxiliary soldiers are different. They follow the South and North Wars. Although most of the time they will not let them face the enemy head-on, most of the time their achievements are not recognized.Therefore, what Xu Qing thought was not to work hard, so he moved to the auxiliary sequence and promoted the elite soldiers to the battle sequence.But there are indeed old and weak people in the battle sequence, but they are not people who do not work hard. Xu Qing has other uses.Moreover, here in Xu Qing, the merits of the auxiliary soldiers can also be demonstrated.

Xu Qing explained the rules in front of everyone, and asked them again if they wanted to compete.The crowd hesitated for a moment, but they still shouted to compare, Xu Qing said with a smile: "Okay, it is necessary to have such courage! Everyone, this general will definitely reward and punish, but this general will never abandon a brother. A soldier."

An hour later, Xu Qing appeared in Li Yuanyu's study.Li Yuan glanced at Xu Qing, saw the ghosts in Xu Qing's eyes, and asked angrily: "Xu Qing, what do you like about me?"

Xu Qing thought to himself, what are you talking about? When was it not you who fell in love with me first?However, Xu Qing still smiled apologetically and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you promise me a few days ago that if I found out that there was a problem with any army, I would go there to select soldiers."

"I remember, why, did you find out?"

"Not the Shence Army?"

"Hiss, it really is them, they are quite courageous. By the way, how did Changsun Wuji apologize to you?"

"I just gave away more than 2000 acres of cheap land, nothing..."

"It's easy to choose soldiers, I will issue an imperial decree. But can you control the soldiers you have chosen?"

"It's under control, anyway, there are only three or four thousand people." Xu Qing said slowly: "Chen, there are two things to ask."

Li Yuan nodded and said: "If you want to ask for something, it's easy to talk about it. I am rich in the world, but I can still be short of your things? It's just..."

"I have a word of advice!"

"Haha, just tell me."

"Your Majesty, today I was walking on the street and met two groups of tributes. One was poor and the other was rich. The poor couldn't afford food and lodging, and the rich tried to show their strength on the street. I thought that martial arts was a grand ceremony for the country's talents. Don't let the tributes go out to disturb the people, and don't let the underprivileged people worry about their future and be timid before fighting. Therefore, I beg your Majesty to send all the military tributes who have entered Chang'an to live in the barracks."

Li Yuan nodded after hearing this: "Although this remonstrance is small, it is indeed useful. I also know that there are still many powerful people among these tributes. Let them live in the barracks for a while, and kill them with vigor. Tell me, you What do you want?"

Xu Qing cupped his hands and said: "I have newly developed a new formation that can deal with Turkic cavalry. But I still need to order some new weapons in order to achieve this formation. In addition, in this martial arts, if someone succeeds, someone will fail." , I ask Your Majesty to put those soldiers who were not selected into my army."

"You will be lazy, so you don't have to go outside to recruit soldiers." Li Yuan said with a smile: "These two things are official business, easy to talk about, but I still have to ask you a word."

"I would like to hear about it."

"After this martial arts exercise, you have 1 soldiers under your command, which is more than enough to guard a Xuanwu Gate. But I hope that you can form this team and be my confidant, and you can fight at any time when you pull it out." Li Yuan obviously I placed high hopes on Xu Qing, but seeing him standing up, his eyes suddenly became stern: "You can just hit whoever I want you to hit, not only the Turkic people, but whoever you are, even in this court. People who can meet. Remember this, you will not be considered as missing my expectations."

Xu Qing immediately bowed down, but he was wondering in his heart, could something have happened in the past few days?Why didn't I notice it at all? It seems that the water on the court hall is deeper.The power of the dark river seems to be undetectable.But Changsun Wuji's strength is just like that. In Xu Qing's eyes, the strength of the hundred-year-old family has fallen to the bottom of looking down on them. The strength of the emperor seems to be predictable.Although Xu Qing didn't dare to say that he could win, he could still feel some troubles.

But now, Li Yuan's words made Xu Qing's head dizzy.How powerful would a person who is more powerful than the emperor be? Would something so hidden be my enemy?
Seeing that Xu Qing didn't speak, Li Yuan smiled gently and said, "Don't think too much, just train your soldiers with peace of mind and deploy your formation."
