Chapter 21: God's Power of Heaven
According to principles, this task of protecting the emperor's safety should be the responsibility of the Emperor's Imperial Army.
Even if it is not the left and right Dragon Martial Arts or the Yulin Army, it should be the soldiers of the Sixteen Guards, and it is the right thing to do to defend the local troops in Chang'an.
Where can I send troops from the border to Chang'an to be responsible for the safety of the emperor?
If the commander of the side soldiers is ill-behaved, he will take the opportunity to hold the emperor to order the rebellious ministers.
Isn’t that a world of chaos?
Pei Min didn't have this intention either. He still remembered mentioning this to Li Longji many years ago.
He strongly accused the problems of the Central Army and repeatedly doubted the combat effectiveness of the Emperor's Imperial Army, hoping that Li Longji could take it seriously.
Li Longji did pay attention to this issue, but the method Li Longji adopted to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
The reason for the weakness of the Central Army is not the soldiers, but the generals!
The weapons and equipment of the Emperor's Imperial Guard are the best, and the qualities of the military source are also the best, and the strength should be the strongest.
But in a word, lions lead flocks of sheep, sheep are also lions; sheep leads to flocks of lions, lions are like sheep.
Nowadays, few generals in the court have seen the world. One group has been eliminated and another group has come.
The new group of people are led by Wang Maozhong.
Wang Maozhong cannot be said that he is not capable, but he still has the ability, but he cannot do big things. His personality consciousness and understanding, his courage and good riding and shooting are his advantages. His equal timidity, arrogance, and arrogantness are his biggest disadvantages.
Wang Maozhong is Li Longji's slave and is the confidant promoted by Li Longji.
In order to kill Empress Wei, Zong Chuke and Princess Anle, Li Longji launched a Tanglong coup. The most critical link of the coup was the Wanqi Army contacted by Wang Maozhong.
The role of the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army was like the innate coup and the Yulin Army controlled by Pei Min, which was a decisive move and the key among the keys.
It was in the face of this situation that before the coup, Wang Maozhong looked like everything was in my mind. However, during the coup, Wang Maozhong was cowardly. At the most critical moment, he was so scared that he did not dare to appear, which directly led to Li Longji not being able to contact tens of thousands of cavalry troops and almost failed the coup.
There is no need to think about the outcome of the failure of this coup.
Faced with Wang Maozhong's fault, it was not an exaggeration to Li Longji kill Wang Maozhong, but Li Longji did not. Li Longji not only did not blame Wang Maozhong, who appeared three days later, but also awarded him the title of general. In less than a year, he had become a general and became a third-rank senior.
Now he is the general of the auxiliary country and the general of the left military guard. He is also an expert in the supervision of the stables inside and outside the school. He is a special promotion and serves as the Taipuqing and Duke Huo, and has become a military leader.
Li Longji was too tolerant of the people he trusted. He was able to forgive Wang Maozhong's big mistakes that almost killed him, and naturally he would not pursue the rest of his small mistakes.
After the incident that year, Wang Maozhong and his ranks of the court did not dare to slacken in the practice of soldiers.
In recent years, the strength of the imperial guards has improved, and they will not be completely corrupt and incompetent as before. However, because of the limited strength of the commander, they cannot be called elite, so they can only come out to show off their appearance. If they really go to the battlefield, they will really not be of great use.
Pei Min saw all the Guanzhong soldiers of the North Ya Longwu Army, the Yulin Army, and the Sixteen Guards of the South Ya Sixteen Guards. Among the troops, only a small number were truly qualified soldiers. The rest of the tricks were lying outsiders. They wanted to hide from the eyes of insiders, but they underestimated the people of the world.
The lion king Mosremasa, who went to the battlefield to kill the enemy at the age of 11, had nearly thirty years of military experience. Justinian was the local governor of Byzantine and had a military career for forty years. As for the patriarch of Longlangchi of Tubo, Ashinashiwei of Gelulu, and Chengzong of Uighurs?
There are also kings of Zhaowu's nine kingdoms who can become the lord of a country. Now they are in the complex Western Regions, how can they be of inferior eyesight?
Unless Pei Min selects the sixteen guards, Longwu Army, and a small number of elites from the Yulin Army, and forms a group of soldiers and cooperates with training, the power of the Tang army can be reflected.
However, time did not allow him to do this. It took a certain amount of time to get together with the soldiers. It only took one month, which was not enough to do this.
Pei Min's initial proposal was to make do with it, and he could do nothing in this regard.
The formation of a strong army takes time, and it requires various practical combat, exercises and training.
Even if Pei Min got the inheritance of Li Jing, Su Dingfang, and Pei Xingjian, he would not have the ability to train a strong soldier in just one month.
Pei Min is willing to settle down, but Li Longji is not.
The future development of the Tang Dynasty lies in the West. Western countries such as the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, the Great Food Kingdom, Byzantine, and Tuqishi were watching from the side. How could they be careless?
Li Longji also began to regret that he did not really capture the combat effectiveness of the imperial guards in the north and south yamen, so he could not get on the table at critical moments.
So, Li Longji himself proposed to transfer the Longyou Shence Army.
The Shence Army is known as the first army to defend the border, and Li Longji is also trying to see the style of the first army.
If it were another emperor, he would definitely not have done this, but Li Longji was different.
His trust was a bit blind. The Shence Army was also a unit of the Tang Dynasty. How could he treat him, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?
What's more, the commander of the Shence Army is Pei Min, so there is no need to doubt it at all.
Pei Min had this idea for a long time, but it was hard for him to ask for it. He immediately ordered the Shen Ce Army to enter Chang'an for training.
It has been seven years since the Shence Army formed its army. It has experienced the counterattack in Taozhou, the battle to lure the enemy in Guangen Town, the harassment of the Jiuqu area in Hexi, the battle to recover the Jiuqu area in Hexi, and the quelling of the Liuhuzhou rebellion. It has rich practical experience. It has also been rigorously trained by Pei Min and Feng Changqing.
Especially in recent years, Pei Min has obtained the inheritance of military tactics of Li Jing, Su Dingfang, and Pei Xingjian, and learned their training methods. In conjunction with some of his own future insights, he has led the Longyou Army to the mountains and rivers, into rivers, into rivers and deserts many times, and simulated military exercises in harsh environments. The Shence Army is the best performer among all Longyou Army. It is no exaggeration to call it a division of war for hundreds of battles, and it is also the first ace combat power in Pei Min.
This Shen Ce Army has gone from far to near, and every step it takes gives people a feeling of shaking the earth.
Neat, majestic and majestic!
The Shen Ce Army passed through the wind and snow and appeared under Chengtian Gate!
"This..." Li Longji couldn't help but say something in disbelief.
“!@#¥%…&*”
The Arab lion king Mosremasa and Justinian, the governor of Byzantine, couldn't help but shout, "The words of their own country are translated into impossible meanings."
A whispering suddenly broke out on the city tower.
"Why are there only three thousand people?"
"I thought it was 30,000!"
"It's incredible..."
All kinds of surprises and exclamations came.
Because of the wind and snow, and morning fog, the visibility is not high, and the number of people coming is not clear. It was not until the soldiers came nearby that they found that there were only three thousand soldiers who brought them great power!
Three thousand people, but there is the power of 30,000 people!
The rainbow morale gathers together, giving people an irresistible spirit!
Is this the first army in the border?
The Xuanjia Army of Tiance Mansion in the past was just like this!
