Chapter 135
In the Tang Dynasty, the forbidden army was divided into sixteen guards, including the left and right guards, the left and right Xiao guards, the left and right martial guards, the left and right guards, the left and right Jinwu guards, the left and right leading guards, the left and right Qianniu guards, and the left and right guards, collectively known as the Nanya Sixteen Guards. .After Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, he selected [-] forbidden troops from the Taiyuan uprising army to station in the north of the imperial city, and was responsible for guarding the palace. They were called Yuancong forbidden troops, also known as Beiya.After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, he selected strong young people from rich families to expand the imperial army, named Flying Cavalry.From the flying cavalry, a hundred people who are good at riding and shooting are selected, and they are called Baiqi.Therefore, the imperial palace full-time guards are not included in the establishment of the sixteen guards, but another Beiya, the Yuancong imperial army.
The sixteen guards are under the direct command of Li Shimin, and the others have no right to deploy troops.
The place where the Zuo Lingjun guards were stationed and trained was not far from the Xuanwu Gate of the Tang Palace, the place where Li Shimin personally directed a major palace coup.
Early the next morning, when Lin Xuan rode Shishi Cong to the left leader Wei camp, Cheng Chumo and the others had already arrived.
Lion Cong was sent by Li Shimin yesterday afternoon.
Lin Xuan guessed that Li Shimin should have known that he was coming to the barracks, so he was brought here.
Lion Cong rode very well, but there was one thing wrong, his soldier's horse couldn't catch up with Lion Cong at all, and if he ran a little faster, he would throw his soldiers away.
Lin Xuan had to control the speed of the horse along the way so that it would not run too fast.
Lin Xuan rode his horse to Cheng Chumo and the others, got off the horse, and said with a smile: "I thought I came early enough, but I didn't expect you to be earlier than me."
Qin Huaidao smiled and said, "We have just arrived too."
Cheng Chumo said enviously, "What a horse!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the lion.
Seeing Cheng Chumo reaching out his hand, Lion Cong opened his mouth to bite.
Cheng Chu shrank his hands silently, dodged it, and said with lingering fear: "Such a fierce horse, I don't know how it was tamed by you."
There is no general who does not love horses, and he also likes lions.
Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and patted Lion Cong's head, and said with a smile, "It's very obedient, so it's not so fierce."
"You can even tame a tiger, of course it is obedient." Cheng Chumo said sourly.
"Uncle Cheng's horse is not much worse than Lion Cong. You can get it and ride it." Lin Xuan urged.
Did he know that Cheng Yaojin regarded that horse as a treasure, if Cheng Chumo dared to ride it secretly, he would definitely be beaten.
Cheng Chumo was not fooled, and said angrily: "Come on, last time I stole a ride, my father almost broke my leg."
Lin Xuan laughed secretly. It turned out that he had suffered a loss once, so it's no wonder he couldn't be fooled.
"Okay, let's go in quickly. If we continue our chat, we will have lunch." Yuchi Baolin said.
Only then did everyone stop chatting, and under the leadership of Cheng Chumo, they revealed their identities and walked into the camp.
Cheng Chumo has been here a few times and is quite familiar with Daying. As he walked, he said, "When you see my father, you must call him General. The first time I came, I was beaten by him because of this. Why do you say that there are no fathers and sons in the army camp?" .”
He mainly said this to Lin Xuan, and Yuchi Baolin and Qin Huaidao knew about it.
"I see." Lin Xuan nodded.
Not long after, led by Cheng Chumo, they came to Cheng Yaojin's tent.
Cheng Chumo spoke to the guarding soldiers, and the soldiers went in to report.
After a while, the soldiers came out and told them to go in.
Sitting in the handsome seat, Cheng Yaojin saw Lin Xuan and the others come in, he laughed and said, "Boy Lin, I am finally willing to come, I have been looking forward to it for a long time."
"Subordinate Lin Xuan, see the General!"
"Subordinate Cheng Chumo, see the General!"
……
The four of Lin Xuan saluted in turn.
Cheng Yaojin said with a smile: "Wait! Are you familiar with the barracks first, or start selecting people now?"
"General, my subordinates want to choose someone first." Lin Xuan said with cupped hands.
Cheng Yaojin was very satisfied with Lin Xuan's attitude, and said loudly: "Okay, act vigorously and resolutely, with the demeanor of a soldier. Come, let's beat the drums and gather the generals!"
"Yes!"
"Boom~boom~boom~"
In the barracks, listening to the beating of drums, Lin Xuan actually felt a trace of murderous aura.
Not long after, a dozen generals in armor walked in.Shouted in unison: "See the general!"
Cheng Yaojin waved his hand, pointed at Lin Xuan and said, "This is Lin Xuan, the brave general sent by His Majesty. He has to select [-] soldiers from each battalion. No matter who you choose, you must cooperate, understand?"
They were very upset when they heard that Lin Xuan was picking people under them, but it was Li Shimin's order, so they could only suppress their dissatisfaction and replied: "Yes!"
Cheng Yaojin called them here just to get them prepared, and seeing that they had no objection, he said: "Go back and gather the soldiers. After a stick of incense, gather at the school grounds!"
"Yes!" The generals took orders and left.
Cheng Yaojin chatted with Lin Xuan for a while, feeling that the time was almost up, and brought them to the school grounds.
In the school grounds, more than 1 left-leading guards had assembled, but the entire queue seemed a little lifeless.
They all knew that His Majesty sent a young man to the left leader guard to select candidates.
Generals like to lead elite soldiers, and soldiers like to follow famous generals.
The battlefield is dangerous, follow the famous generals to win the battle,
They also have a slightly higher survival rate.
Now that they know that a boy in his teens is going to choose them, it's no wonder they are happy.
Lin Xuan stood on the stage and looked at the more than 1 people below, feeling a little excited.
As the saying goes, once there are more than ten thousand people, there is no limit.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, it does have this momentum.
Cheng Yaojin said with a smile: "The left leader guard, the people on duty are here. You can choose."
There must be more than 1 people in the left-leading army and guards. Datang implemented the Fubing system, which was rotated every few months when it was not in war.
There are generally only more than 1 people in a military camp, and only when there is a war will all the people be called up.
"Yes!"
Lin Xuan stepped forward, although he couldn't see the expressions of the people behind him, he could see the dissatisfaction on the faces of the soldiers in front.
Lin Xuan signaled that his personal soldiers immediately brought over something in the shape of a trumpet.
This is what he asked people to do in advance, otherwise with so many people, he would not be able to hear him at all.
Lin Xuan raised the self-made trumpet to his mouth and said loudly: "I know you think I am young and don't want to be selected by me. Let me first talk about the treatment of soldiers who have passed my training. You can think about it yourself. Those who are willing to join Sign up by yourself, if you don’t want to join, I won’t force you.”
Forcibly choose some people, and he has to find a way to subdue their hearts. Lin Xuan thinks it's better to let them choose on their own initiative.
The hostility on the faces of the soldiers subsided when they heard that Lin Xuan did not choose by force.
Lin Xuan continued: "First of all, my soldiers can eat three meals a day, and they are guaranteed to have meat every day. Those who have passed the training and have been recognized will become professional soldiers in the future. Like the Forbidden Army, they will be paid every month. "
Lin Xuan's words caused an uproar!
You must know that they usually eat two meals, and they can only eat three meals when they are in war.
Moreover, it is difficult to eat meat in ordinary times, and meat is not available every day during wars.
As for military pay, there is nothing more.
Only when they fight, will they share part of the capture.
Normally, when there is no war, they need to be on duty for a few months every year. During these months, they will only take care of food and have no military pay.
For a while, many people were moved, but they were somewhat skeptical.
Lin Xuan gave them some time to think, and after a while, he continued: "The salary is good, not for you to enjoy, my training is ten times harder than your usual training, only those who persevere are eligible to receive military pay If you can’t persist, you will go wherever you come from. I only need 6000 people. If you want, you can sign up with your general. If the number is enough, I don’t want any more.”
After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he ignored the soldiers who were arguing, and walked back with a loudspeaker in hand.
"Boy Lin, how much does it cost for three meals a day plus meat? Can Your Majesty agree?" Cheng Yaojin asked.
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "General, my training is very hard. If I don't eat three meals a day and have meat every day, they won't be able to persevere."
Cheng Yaojin didn't get entangled in this issue. Anyway, it was Lin Xuan's training method, which must be better than him.
He was very interested in Lin Xuan's loudspeaker, and said with a smile: "The thing you use to shout is good, it is very suitable for the old man."
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes, just say what you want, and say something that suits you very well.
"General, this thing is easy to make, just ask the blacksmith in the army to make one for you, and this subordinate will use it when training soldiers!" Lin Xuan said.
If Cheng Yaojin had given the trumpet, he wouldn't have died of exhaustion when training soldiers.
Seeing what Lin Xuan said, Cheng Yaojin had no choice but to give up and said, "You should teach the blacksmith later on, and make one for the old man as soon as possible."
