The Second Battalion and the Third Guards, as Tang Gong's trusted guards, were also stationed directly in Shangyang Palace.
Each of the two battalions has 1,200 soldiers. Although the selection criteria are not as strict and bloody as the Baibao Xianbei of the Northern Qi Dynasty, they are still the elites of hundreds of battles among the armies. The Baiqi Battalion advocates stone slaves, and the Shesheng Battalion advocates
Zhu Pi Jinghe is a representative figure of brave soldiers in the army. They are brave enough to charge into battle, ascend and break camp first, and they all have great achievements in battle.
The number of the third guard is slightly smaller than that of the second battalion, and the number of each is different. There are 120 personal guards, and most of the selected ones are young disciples of relatives and old people. Li Yuxiang, the son of Tang Gong, is the commander of the personal guards.
The children of the Li family and other relatives' families who were proficient in martial arts and disliked learning, and those who were in their prime years were mostly collected here. Basically, it was a collection of children from families with the five surnames and those with the surnames of various captives.
There are 300 members of the honorary guard, and the scope of admission is much wider. All the children of the country's meritorious officials with famous titles can be pre-selected. It has been more than 20 years since the establishment of the Western Wei Dynasty, and all the children of the meritorious officials are still in their prime.
Of course, people with a background as Tang Gong's confidants are very eager, so the competition is also very fierce. In addition to the achievements of their fathers and ancestors, those who can be selected must also have good qualities and talents themselves.
There are 600 people in Yiwei. Unlike the first two who come from powerful families, most of those selected into Yiwei are orphans of martyrs who died in the country. Their respective family backgrounds may not be wealthy, but their willingness to kill the enemy, serve the country, and promote the reputation of their fathers and ancestors is important.
Much stronger than others.
Because the Sanwei served as ceremonial attendants, their camp was located in Shangyang Palace City, in the courtyard south of the Zhengshi Hall. To the west of this courtyard, a specially built building for several people was built in the southwest corner of Shangyang Palace.
The school ground where thousands of people and horses gather for training. Outside the school ground is the Hundred Cavalry Camp. To the west of the Hundred Cavalry Camp is a pontoon bridge over Luoshui. Opposite is the official horse stables in Shayuan.
Generally, there is nothing special. Tang Gong will handle official business in the political hall. Occasionally, he will have some leisure time and entertainment, which is usually within the scope of Shangyang Palace. He will not frequently summon people to go out and wander around. Therefore, Sanwei Erlang's duties are also
It's relatively easy. Basically, except for a few hours of guard duty every day, you don't have to be on duty the rest of the time.
But within a few days of such leisurely and comfortable days, adjustments to the work tasks of the three guards were issued.
In addition to the original functions of the ceremonial guard and the guard, the drills of military strategy and archery and horse formation have been added, and monthly assessments have been added to these three. If the standard is not met in more than half of a year, then not only will
He was dismissed from the position of the Three Guards, and within the next five years, he was not allowed to participate in official selection, whether it was the official selection or the public recruitment!
With the issuance of this order, the atmosphere in the three guard camps suddenly became tense, especially among the personal guards and honor guards, there were many guards who were selected based on their reputation, and they themselves only regarded this as a Jin
At this level, I didn't expect that there would be such strict rules when being selected for the three guards, so I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy for a while.
Even some Sanwei men who are willing to make meritorious deeds and are willing to hone themselves are worried that the assessment standards are too high and they worry that they may not meet the requirements.
However, in this melancholy atmosphere, some people didn't care about it, and even clapped their hands and said loudly: "That's how it should be! It's such an honor to be selected as the third guard. If you don't have talent and resourcefulness,
If you don't take any precautions, how can you plant pines and cypresses all over the hall and use the wood as soldiers! In my opinion, Tang Gong is still kind and the punishment for the losers is still light. Only when the skin and flesh of the losers should be beaten should they be beaten, and then expelled from the camp, can the three guards show their bravery.
, the military power that will punish the mediocre!"
As he spoke, this young man had a strong back and strong waist, thick arms, and a burly figure that was very intimidating when he looked at it. His words were even more ferocious. And there are many disciples of the three guards, so it is inevitable that some people will feel worried after hearing these words.
After that, he felt ashamed and annoyed. When someone came out of the crowd, looked at him and said angrily: "Be brave or mediocre, that's not just a matter of words! The Duke of Tang was very strict in running the army. He had his orders and the public's attention.
Who are you? Dare to make such arrogant remarks!"
Seeing that many people around him were glaring with anger, the young man who was the first to speak was not afraid, but raised his arms and said loudly: "There is no need to say who I am. But since we are in the army, it is natural that the brave speak loudly and the weak keep silent.
, Skills come first, words come last! Do you have the guts to compete?"
Sanweierlang was originally an energetic adolescent boy who was aggressive and aggressive. When he heard this young man clamoring for a fight, some people clapped their hands and applauded, while others were eager to try.
In order to train these three guard boys, various sports venues and facilities were readily available on the nearby school grounds, such as Jiao Da Field, Ma Qi, Shooting Hall, etc., so these young people soon moved to the school grounds.
, watch the battle between the two disputing parties.
The young man who previously complained that the punishment was too light was Cui Hongdu, the son of Cui Quan. Although he was born in the Boling Cui family, a famous family in Guandong, the upbringing he received since childhood was rougher and more brutal than that of the Zhenbing family. Every time his father beat him, he would not be beaten.
Kill him and make him stronger.
Although he was a little offended by the public because of his arrogance, Cui Hongdu was not afraid at all. After stepping onto the corner and arriving on the field, he got into a fighting stance. Soon, even if someone couldn't restrain himself, he jumped onto the field to wrestle with him. And Cui Hongdu was not timid either.
Fighting, he immediately pounced on him, and after just a few rounds of wrestling, he threw this opponent with a similar figure out of the field, which immediately attracted applause from the surrounding spectators.
Cui Hongdu easily defeated an opponent, and his expression became even more arrogant. He waved his arms and continued to invite a fight, and soon someone else came on the stage to wrestle with him. However, after several rounds of fighting, this person still lost.
defeat.
After winning one after another, Cui Hongdu was able to dominate the audience with his skills. He even pointed at several people in the audience who were eager to try but hesitant and laughed and said: "You might as well come on stage together, I will defeat you together!"
This arrogant attitude immediately made those people scream with anger. Dang even ignored any fair rules and rushed forward to fight with Cui Hongdu. Although Cui Hongdu was arrogant, it took a lot of energy to lose to the two of them.
Several people surrounded him, but after all, his physical strength was not as strong as his breath, and he was soon pushed to the ground and beaten.
There was also Cui Hongdu's relative and friend Pao Ze present. After seeing this, he couldn't stand it and rushed into the field to start a fight. So the fight quickly turned into a big melee, with more than a hundred people joining in.
A fight broke out among them.
"Tang Gong is here!"
Someone outside the battlefield suddenly shouted. Everyone who was fighting suddenly felt a tremble in their hearts after hearing this. They didn't even bother to fight back against their opponents, and they even wanted to get out of the battle circle.
At this time, another soldier outside the school shouted loudly: "Stand where you are and don't move rashly!"
However, with the sound of "Run!", the three guardsmen who were still hesitant at first, including those who had not participated in the melee, all started running quickly. Anyone who escaped back to the camp would be beaten to death.
deny!
The sergeants on the school field dispersed in a hurry, but on the road more than a mile away from the school field, Li Ya, Han Qinhu and other three generals of the three guards all stood in front of Tang Gongma with their heads bowed in embarrassment and embarrassment, not daring to
He raised his head to see what the Lord looked like.
"Not too stupid, he ran away pretty fast!"
Li Tai glanced at the dusty school grounds in the distance. He sneered first and then ordered: "Instruct the three guards to gather in the school grounds quickly!"
As the sound of drums and horns rang out to assemble the guards on the school grounds, Li Ya and others also swore secretly and hurriedly sent orders to the camps to summon these bastards who would cause trouble at a glance.
The three guards all walked out of the camp uneasily at this moment. Some of them even took the time to change into clean clothes. However, their hair was torn loose and their blue eye sockets could not be recovered for a while.
Come.
A quarter of an hour later, except for those who were on duty as dormitory guards today, the rest of the three guards who stayed in the camp were summoned, and they lined up neatly on the school field with their heads held high. At first glance, it looked like the same thing.
.It’s just that a few guys who had received special attention in the fight just now were inevitably disgraced and their appearance was really unsightly.
At this time, Li Tai also knew the reason for the fight, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that these boys were really full, and they had to practice hard to get rid of their impatience.
"Those who just participated in the fight come out!"
He walked slowly to the front of the array, looked at the sergeants in the array and gave orders.
After hearing this order, the young disciples lowered their heads in silence at first, but soon some of the traces of the fight on their bodies were too obvious and they could not hide them. They had no choice but to step out of the queue. Then, other teenagers who participated in the fight also came one after another.
Dequeue.
Li Tai's eyes swept across the array and quickly located a young man with a bruised head and face and messy robes who was still standing in the original queue. He raised his finger and pointed at the young man.
"For the record, my lord, this servant really did not participate in the fight and never beat anyone else. It's just that, for some unknown reason, someone came to intercept the fight and beat him up..."
The young man also felt Mr. Tang's gaze, and he spoke with an aggrieved look on his face.
Li Tai frowned after hearing this. Naturally, he didn't believe this statement. If you didn't do it, why would others hit you?
However, he hadn't raised his voice to question yet. Wang Gui, a young man standing in the queue behind the young man, raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, what Yang Xiong said is true. The servant just came here to watch the fight, and saw several disciples because of jealousy.
His appearance is so handsome that he cannot be beaten away!"
After hearing this, there was a burst of laughter in the queue. Yang Xiong, who was beaten because he was too handsome, could not help but look more resentful. Li Tai's face also changed slightly, and he first calmly said to
He took two steps back and then said in a deep voice: "Is it a crime to look impressive in appearance? Anyone who beats Yang Xiong comes out again. If he hides and does not come out, he will be punished if found out!"
Soon after, several teenagers came out with their heads bowed. Before Li Tai announced the punishment for the other brawlers, he ordered these tough teenagers to each carry a felt bag weighing dozens of kilograms and run around the school grounds.
Get up. It’s really lawless. If you are handsome, you deserve to be beaten?
