When talking about the army of the Tang Dynasty, we have to mention the world-famous military system.
The Fubing system is a system based on the equalization of land, where soldiers and peasants are united, and soldiers are integrated with peasants.
There are a number of "military offices" set up in various parts of the world. The "government soldiers" are selected from farmers in the prefectures and counties where they are located. They join the army at the age of 20 and are exempted from military service at 60. They usually produce at home and train in their spare time. The "government soldiers" also need
When you go to the capital, you will take turns participating in the garrison mission of the capital.
However, the "junfu" only manages the household registration and daily training of the "fu soldiers". It can neither command the "fu soldiers" of the "fanshang", nor does it have the right to command in wartime.
The troops of Fanshangfu were commanded by the Sixteenth General of the Guards; the command during wartime was in the hands of the marshals selected by the emperor.
The Weifu system is to use "guard" to unify "fu". The Sixteen Guards are not only the forbidden soldiers who guard the capital, but also the leadership organization that leads the "fu soldiers" in the world.
The "Sixteen Guards" of the Tang Dynasty remotely led the 657 Zhechong Mansion in the world. They were in the middle and guarded the outside, and guarded the capital. They were a combination of government soldiers and forbidden troops. But it is worth emphasizing that the generals of the Sixteenth Guards only "remotely led the military mansions of the world".
", does not have real wartime command authority. During wartime, the emperor temporarily appoints the marching marshal as the supreme commander.
In the Tang Dynasty, this generalissimo was a temporary position and was called "the general manager of the march of a certain road"...
However, "there is no banquet in the world that lasts forever", and there is no undefeated system. After the Mid-Tang Dynasty, the land equalization system was destroyed, the military system collapsed, and the Sixteen Guards lost their combat effectiveness and were only used for ceremonial purposes, leaving only their names.
, the Tang court relied on the "Beiya Forbidden Army".
Among the sixteen guards, the status of the two guards on the left and right is slightly higher, because these are the two troops that control the palace guards. They are the direct line of the direct line, the elite of the elite!
**********
Chen Guogong and Zuo Wei General Hou Junji were sitting in the command hall with expressionless faces.
Fang Jun stood in the hall, feeling a little uneasy.
Hou Junji has always been a gloomy and wise man, ruthless and ruthless, with a deep mind. No one can understand his thoughts.
Getting along with this kind of person is the most troublesome...
But Fang Jun was helpless. The left guard was one of the elites among the sixteen guards. Generally, when the imperial court went on an expedition, the left and right guards were selected, and one of the left and right military guards was chosen. This time, His Majesty Li Er paid great attention to Fang Jun's suggestion, so he naturally wanted to deploy the most elite ones.
Troop cooperation.
"How many people are needed?" Hou Junji's tone was cold. His face was dark and thin, like an ice sculpture, without any emotion.
"At least two thousand people." Fang Jun said respectfully.
Although this guy is committing suicide and will not be able to survive for a few years, but for now, Li Jing has completely given up military affairs, Li Ji is in charge of the center, Cheng Yaojin is getting older, and the famous general who can conquer the east and west in the court,
There was only one Hou Junji left, and the rest fell short of the mark.
If there is any trouble with this person, it will definitely not be a good thing!
Hou Junji frowned and was a little displeased: "Although I don't know how you are bewitching His Majesty, I have to warn you that this Zuowei camp is where the elite of the imperial court is located, and you are not allowed to do whatever you want.
place!"
Fang Jun cursed in his heart, do you think I am a novice in the officialdom? You are just trying to tease me in the future by talking so much nonsense. You are really brave. Do you dare to say that you are not following the will of His Majesty Li Er?
But it's just a slander in my heart, there's no point in confronting this devil!
"Look at what you said. It is precisely because Duke Chen Guogong has trained the left guards to be strong and elite that your majesty will mobilize the soldiers of the left guards. Don't you feel at ease? As for nonsense, that is even less so. My nephew will continue to act nonsense.
, I don’t dare to make trouble in front of you, right?”
Fang Jun smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and his attitude was extremely respectful.
Not to mention just a few soft words and a low profile, even if I pray to you a few times without any mental pressure, I really treat you as a dead person...
But his gesture made Hou Junji subconsciously raise his eyebrows.
There are rumors all over the city of Chang'an that this boy is a mallet, and he will hit whoever he catches. Is it true that I, Laohou, am so domineering that I can make this boy bow to me?
Feeling suspicious, he nodded slightly: "Then tell me, what do you want these soldiers to do?"
"This..." Fang Jun was a little slow, "Chen Guogong should ask His Majesty himself. This matter is extremely confidential. Please forgive me for not divulging anything."
"Oh?" Hou Junji frowned more and more.
Seeing that the Western Expedition was about to take place, it was the time when the left guard was reinforcing its troops and improving military discipline. Why did they have to withdraw a thousand soldiers?
This Fang Jun's words were unclear, and even though he was holding an imperial edict written by His Majesty, it still made Hou Junji feel uneasy.
Could it be that... His Majesty is dissatisfied with me, and this move is just a way of beating me? Or maybe His Majesty is finally dissatisfied with the East Palace and wants to take action?
Hiss...the more Hou Junji thought about it, the more confused he became, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
Don’t blame Hou Junji for being suspicious. Speaking of which, among the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, who is the most loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince? If Hou Junji is ranked second, no one would dare to admit that he is the first! And His Highness the Crown Prince’s trust in Hou Junji,
Even Changsun Wuji, the uncle of His Royal Highness the Prince, had to step aside!
Because Changsun Wuji, that old fox, is more than just his nephew, Prince Li Chengqian!
His Majesty Li Er has been very disappointed with the Crown Prince this year, and his plan to get Yi Chu is still no secret. Now that he is deploying soldiers from the left guard, it is no wonder that Hou Jun gathered to think too much...
But no matter how you think about it, these soldiers still have to be mobilized!
"Duan Zan!" Hou Junji shouted in a low voice.
Someone outside the hall immediately responded loudly: "A certain general is here!" A heroic young military general walked in.
"Quickly go and collect two thousand soldiers, and you will lead them. From today on, everyone will obey the command of the Marquis of Xinxiang. You must not disobey military orders or delay the opportunity to fight. Otherwise, you will definitely not blame me for being ruthless in military law!"
Hou Junji sat with a big horse and a golden sword, and ordered with a sullen face.
"promise!"
Duan Zan knelt on one knee and promised loudly.
Hou Junji raised his eyelids, glanced at Fang Jun, waved his hand and said: "I have a lot of military affairs, so I won't keep the Marquis of Xinxiang. The soldiers on the left guard are all elite and brave men, so the Marquis of Xinxiang can take care of himself!"
This can be regarded as a slap in the face of Fang Jun. Don't make any trouble and treat your subordinates well...
Fang Jun took care of himself and said goodbye to Hou Jun. Except for the commander of the Zuowei camp, Duan Zan also came out after him.
"Huh..." Fang Jun let out a long breath, glanced at the cold-faced Duan Zan behind him, and couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, a general would lead what kind of soldiers. This man was really Hou Junji's subordinate, and even his face was...
The expressions are exactly the same...
"You haven't asked the general about his name yet?" Fang Jun said politely.
Duan Zan was slightly startled and quickly said: "A warrior, how can we talk about taboos? Duan Zan, the last general." Other than that, his family background was not mentioned at all.
But Fang Jun knew very well that for troops guarding the palace like the Left and Right Guards, the senior officers must be of high rank, so as to ensure sufficient loyalty. Ordinary civilians would not even think about it.
There are not many high-ranking officials with the surname Duan. Fang Jun went through them one by one in his mind and asked, "Who is your father, Duke Baoguo?"
Duan Zhixuan, Duke of Bao, is currently the General of the Right Guards. He and Hou Junji happen to be on the left and right. They are both famous generals who followed His Majesty Li Er in his campaigns east and west, and are highly trusted.
As if he was dissatisfied with Fang Jun's way of always mentioning his family background, Duan Zan just responded: "This is my father." and said nothing.
Quite a character!
Fang Jun smiled and didn't care: "My brother Duan Gui, I have a good relationship with a certain person!"
When he said this, Fang Jun knew that this was Duan Zhixuan's eldest son and the next Duke of Bao in the future!
He originally thought that the closeness of the condom would make Duan Zan's poker face calm down, but unexpectedly it had the opposite effect.
Duan Zan glanced at Fang Jun and immediately shut up and stopped talking...
Fang Jun blinked: "..."
What is going on? Could it be that Duan Gui and Duan Zan are not biological brothers from the same mother, or are there some rich secrets involved?
Everyone has a gossip in their mind, and Fang Jun is no exception. He couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Duan doesn't seem to like talking about your younger brother?"
Duan Zan had a cold face and snorted: "I would be very grateful if the Marquis of Xinxiang could visit less often than my younger brother! It's getting late, so let's go to the school field to beat the drums and mobilize the troops. If we miss the general's military order, I'll be sorry.
It’s too much!”
After saying that, he strode forward expressionlessly...
So depressed!
Fang Jun almost yelled, "That brother of yours is nothing. He doesn't pay prostitutes after visiting them. I was the one who paid for them several times. Or was it me who abducted him?"
Mom! Aren’t you kid playing cool with me? Okay!
Just wait for me!
I have to hold you in my hand. How dare you slander me?
Let me know why the flowers are so red!
Fang Jun, who was regarded as a "bad friend" by others, followed Duan Zan to the school grounds of Zuowei Camp, feeling very angry.
The drums were rumbling, the footsteps were rushing, and the large campus, which could hold thousands of people, was crowded with people. Except for the sound of footsteps and clothes rubbing against each other, there was no trace of noise!
This Hou Junji is indeed a famous general, and the left guard and his subordinates are all elite!
