Man Tang Hong Chapter 0395 The Role of the Preparatory Camp
Hearing Li Yuanji's question, Quan Xu looked ashamed and said sincerely: "It seems that His Highness has indeed known me before. I was Meng Lang before."
Seeing that Quan Xu was convinced, Li Yuanji felt very happy and said with a smile: "Hahaha, you are not exactly Meng Lang, you are just more honest."
Quan Xu's ears turned slightly red when he heard the word honesty, and he quickly raised his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your advice."
Li Yuanji shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not like I'm giving advice. You were just blinded by a leaf. I just helped you remove the leaf blocking your eyes. I believe you will be able to prosper in the future without the leaves blocking your eyes."
Quan Xu quickly stood up, bowed and said: "Whether I can succeed in my career depends on the support of His Highness."
Li Yuanji nodded with satisfaction.
As soon as Quan Xu said these words, he had completely entered the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion, and there was no possibility of repeating it again.
Although Quan Xu is still a little bit inferior to Ren Gui, he is still a rare talent.
Li Yuanji was naturally extremely happy to have such a talented person take the initiative to offer his services.
After Li Yuanji nodded, he said with a smile: "The commander of the Yousan Army Mansion in my residence is temporarily vacant, how about you take over?"
Quan Xu was stunned for a moment, then looked grateful.
The commanders of the six military command houses in Li Yuanji's house are all high in official position and title. People like Xie Shufang, Su Dingfang, Luo Shixin, etc. have already entered the ranks of the Dukes of the State, and Su Dingfang and Luo Shixin are still quite top-notch among the Dukes of the State.
That kind of person.
When he first entered Prince Qi's palace, Li Yuanji gave him a position on par with Xie Shufang and others, which shows how much Li Yuanji appreciated him.
However, Li Yuanji appreciated him and appreciated him, but he really could not agree to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Yousan Tongjunfu.
If he understood correctly, Kan Leng was previously the commander of the third right-hand army of Prince Qi's palace.
Although Kan Leng has been demoted from both his official position and his title, he can no longer hold the post of commander of the Yousan Military Mansion.
But the officers and soldiers of the Yousan Tongjun were almost all soldiers and horses brought by Kan Leng to the Tang Dynasty.
Except for Kan Leng, others may not be able to play it well.
Moreover, he did not want to offend his colleagues in Prince Qi's residence just after entering Prince Qi's residence.
As far as he knew, people in Prince Qi's palace rarely participated in the affairs of the court, and rarely appeared in public, so outsiders knew very little about them.
He didn't know if Kan Leng was on good terms with other people in Prince Qi's Mansion. If he first entered Prince Qi's Mansion, he would have taken Kan Leng's place and seized the soldiers and horses that Kan Leng had brought to the Tang Dynasty. Kan Leng and others
If they were hostile to him together, it would be hard for him to live in Prince Qi's palace again.
Therefore, Quan Xu was grateful and said respectfully: "Thank you very much for Your Highness's love. However, when I first joined His Highness, I was entrusted with important tasks by Your Highness. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to convince everyone.
Therefore, I hope that Your Highness can first appoint me to a small official position, and let me show some of my skills to show to my colleagues.
How about your Highness appointing ministers based on their merits and demerits in the future?"
Li Yuanji smiled and nodded. He admired Quan Xu's temperament of knowing how to advance and retreat.
Quan Xu did not forget that he had no foundation in Prince Qi's palace just because he was entrusted with the important task. Instead, he wisely proposed to make some achievements first.
That's good.
When Quan Xu really achieves results, he will not be dissatisfied with others if he is entrusted with important responsibilities.
On the contrary, it will make others more convinced of him and respect him more.
Speaking of which, Li Yuanji's appointment of Quan Xu as the commander-in-chief of the Third Army of the Right was also a test, and he did not really want to appoint Quan Xu as the commander-in-chief of the Third Army of the Right.
I just wanted to see how Kwon Wook would react after he was suddenly entrusted with an important task.
Now it seems that Quan Xu has withstood his test.
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Then I will follow your words and appoint you as the commander of the reserve camp first?"
Quan Xu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Ren Gui beside him. Seeing Ren Gui shaking his head slightly with a confused look on his face, he couldn't help but said: "Preparatory camp?"
There was no such thing as a preparatory camp in the Tang Dynasty, so Quan Xu was unfamiliar with the system of preparatory camps.
Although he roughly guessed the role of the preparatory camp through the name, he still didn't know the specific role.
He originally wanted to ask Ren Gui, but looking at Ren Gui's appearance, it was obvious that he didn't know the specific role of the reserve camp, so he could only ask Li Yuanji directly.
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "The reserve camp is specially used to reserve soldiers and horses for the six unified army mansions. To put it simply, the six unified army mansions in my mansion do not recruit soldiers and horses from outside. They only draw the best from the reserve camp.
A group of people to supplement the number of soldiers in each government.
The reserve battalion represents the six unified military offices and recruits troops from all over the country.
It was also used to replenish elite troops for the Tongjun Mansion.
In addition to daily transfers, every autumn, a competition will be held between the reserve camp and the six Tongjunfus. If the soldiers and horses of the reserve camp can defeat the soldiers and horses of the Tongjunfu, they can take their place.
If the soldiers and horses of the Tongjun Mansion lose to the soldiers and horses of the reserve camp, they will withdraw from the Tongjun Mansion and enter the reserve camp to practice again."
After Quan Xu understood the role of the reserve camp, he opened his mouth but could not speak.
Li Yuanji explained it very clearly, and he also understood it very clearly.
The function of the reserve camp is to train soldiers and horses for the six military command offices.
Every year, the top soldiers trained in the reserve camp will be taken away by the six unified military offices.
As a result, the reserve battalion will never be able to reach the level of the six unified military mansions, and can only be like a subordinate yamen, serving the six unified military mansions.
As long as the six unified military mansions are still healthy and can still fight, the reserve battalions have almost no possibility of going to the battlefield.
In this case, if he wants to use the preparation camp to gain credit and show off his abilities, it will become trivial.

Then when will he come forward?
Seeing Quan Xu open his mouth and not speaking, Li Yuanji immediately guessed Quan Xu's thoughts, and immediately said with a smile: "Don't underestimate the preparation camp in my house.
From now on, whether the six unified military offices in our government will be strong or weak, and whether they can take on major responsibilities, all depends on whether the reserve battalions can continue to cultivate elite soldiers.
It can be said that the future strength of the Tongjunfu will be entirely determined by the reserve battalion.
Therefore, I developed another set of merit recording methods for the preparatory camp.
That is based on the number of elite soldiers trained.
Cultivating an elite soldier is equivalent to defeating the enemy on the battlefield.
By analogy, there is no upper limit.
Do you still dare to underestimate the reserve camp in my house?"
When Quan Xu heard this, he instantly understood that the preparation camp was not without success.
Although the method of obtaining credit is different from killing enemies on the battlefield, if one counts the credit for training an elite soldier, it is far easier to obtain credit in the reserve camp than on the battlefield.
You know, the Tang Dynasty has just unified the world, and there have been no wars for the time being.
In order for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to gain merit from the battlefield, they had to try their luck and wait for opportunities.
Even if there is a chance, the Tongjun Mansion of Prince Qi's Mansion may not be allowed to take action.
After all, whether he is the King of Qi or the King of Qin, he is a person of status.
It's impossible for them to clean up any little thief that comes out.
Therefore, the war that would allow the King of Qi and the King of Qin to take action might be a war in which the troops of both sides reached tens of thousands, or even more.
With the Tang Dynasty ruling the world, the probability of such a war happening was extremely low.
It may only happen once every three to five years.
On the contrary, it does not take three to five years to train elite soldiers.
As long as the screening is a little stricter when recruiting soldiers and horses.
Select a group of strong young people, or young people who are proficient in some martial arts, practice a little bit, and find some bandits and bandits to practice more, and it will be easy to train an elite army.
Although there are no strong enemies in the Tang Dynasty, there are still quite a few bandits and bandits, as well as some vassals that often recur.
As long as there is a way, it is easy to get the opportunity to train your troops.
As for Li Yuanji, he has many opportunities like this.
Therefore, when the world is at peace, the reserve camp is a place where it is easier to gain merit than the Tongjun Mansion.
Quan Xu understood the benefits of the preparatory camp and said without hesitation: "I have no intention of underestimating the preparatory camp. Since Your Highness believes in me so much, it would be disrespectful for me to refuse."
Li Yuanji nodded and smiled: "It seems that you are very satisfied with my appointment, so it's settled. Later I will order Ling Changshi to draft a document, stamp it, and send it to you.
From now on, you, like Ling Changshi, will be members of my family."
Quan Xu cupped his hands again and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
Li Yuanji smiled and nodded again, looked at Ren Gui who had been laughing silently for a long time, and said straight to the point: "How about Mr. Ren help me take on the important task of Hebei Province?"
Ren Gui was stunned.
Li Yuanji didn't wait for Ren Gui to speak, and continued: "I will write to my father and ask Mr. Ren to take up the post of right servant of Daxingtai, Hebei Province. I hope Mr. Ren will not dislike it."
Ren Gui was a little moved, and said quickly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but Your Highness praises me in such a way, isn't it a little too high for me?"
Although the Pu She in Daxingtai, Hebei Province, is not as powerful as Pei Ji, nor is he as majestic as Pei Ji.
But official positions and authority are far superior to many people.
It is more than one and a half times greater than the official position Ren Gui held before, and it is also more than one and a half times more powerful than Ren Gui's previous one.
It is no exaggeration to say that when Li Yuanji did not come out and Zuopu of Daxingtai of Hebei Province could not shoot, Ren Gui became the biggest official of Daxingtai of Hebei Province.
For example, Wang Gui, Li Jing, Ma Zhou, Du Yan and others who are now serving in Daxingtai, Hebei Province must obey Ren Gui's orders.
This shows how high the official position and authority Li Yuanji gave Ren Gui was.
Faced with Ren Gui's humility, Li Yuanji smiled and waved his hands and said: "I know Mr. Ren's abilities well, and he is more than enough to serve as the right servant of Daxingtai, Hebei Province.
The reason why Mr. Ren is not reused in my eldest brother's palace is not because Mr. Ren is not capable enough, but because my eldest brother always likes to appoint the ministers around him.
Mr. Ren has lived in Xuzhou for a long time and rarely got close to my elder brother, so he was not introduced as a close minister or trusted by my elder brother.
I'm different, I don't have as many close ministers as my elder brother to use.
So as long as someone is willing to do it for me, I'm willing to reuse it."
