After watching the troops' drills and the live firing of the heavy artillery, Li Xuan did not leave the military camp immediately and began to meet the officers one by one and talk to them sincerely.
When the Qiangu Sage met with Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Yibao, the leader of the Fifth Infantry Regiment, he said that the Fifth Infantry Regiment should inherit and give full play to the spirit and experience of its ancestors, strive to form an army as soon as possible and establish meritorious deeds.
Zhou Yibao replied to our eternal sage Li Xuan in this way: "I will definitely implement the various instructions of His Majesty in the spirit of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and contribute to the revival of the great cause of the Tang Dynasty!
After meeting all the school officials one by one, Li Xuan saw that time was running out, so he simply did not meet them one by one alone, and immediately led the officials and walked out.
Outside, a large group of generals who were waiting to be received were talking to each other. When they heard a voice saying: "Your Majesty has arrived!", they all subconsciously looked towards the door.
I saw more than ten figures at the door, and in the middle was Li Xuan, the official emperor of the Tang Dynasty!
After seeing Li Xuan walk in, the officers in the hall all made the same move!
Stand at attention with your head raised and chest raised, and then bow your hands in salute!
At the same time, he shouted: "I respectfully welcome your Majesty!"
Military regulations: Soldiers wearing military uniforms may not kneel when they see the emperor, but must use military salutes instead!
Looking at a group of officers wearing dark blue military uniforms, if they were given military caps, the group of people in front of them would at first glance be mistaken for a group of modern officers.
In fact, in terms of clothing alone, the military uniforms of the Tang Dynasty Army created by Li Xuan, although the uniforms of the soldiers are ugly, the uniform dark blue military uniforms of the officers look very pleasing to the eye.
While Li Xuan looked around at the crowd, he walked slowly in. Huo Shouqi, Liu Bagou, Zeng Ziwen and others who followed him also walked in slowly.
The whole process was silent!
Many times, the quality of the military can be reflected in some small details, such as in this scene today.
It is not such an easy task to get many officers to salute in unison without making a single sound except for the footsteps of Li Xuan and others during the whole process.
Li Xuan's walking pace was neither fast nor slow, and he soon reached the hall. Then he turned back to the dozens of people below and said, "Don't be too restrained. I'm here to see you, not to see you all."
If you are in trouble, please relax!"
Li Xuan spoke with a faint smile, and senior generals such as Zeng Ziwen and Zhou Yibao on the side also cooperated with Li Xuan's words.
Zhou Yibao deliberately said with a straight face: "You are not allowed to stand at attention, just relax!"
But that’s what everyone said, but if there is a blind person below who really doesn’t restrain himself and does something extraordinary, he will definitely be remembered by Li Xuan, but being remembered by Li Xuan is different.
It's a good thing, and it's most likely a bad thing.
Even if Li Xuan doesn't remember him, it's not a good thing if he is remembered by Zhou Yibao and the others.
However, everyone seems to be more cautious and reserved, but it is still much better than when Li Xuan first came in!
At this time, Zhou Yibao accompanied him to introduce the main officers of the Fifth Infantry Regiment and friendly forces!
"This is Zhou Quanlong, the commander of our Thirteenth Infantry Battalion. He is a veteran of our Tang Dynasty King's Division. He participated in the battle against Shuilong Village back then!"
Zhou Quanlong? Li Xuan has an impression of this person. He remembers that this person should be a member of the early Guards, but he should be just an ordinary soldier in the Guards. But if this person has impressed Li Xuan a long time ago, then now
That means he will not just be a major battalion commander, but become a brigade commander like Hao Bainian and others, and finally a regiment commander.
But speaking of veterans, in fact, Zhou Quanlong is not very old, he is only seventeen years old at full count, and he is still underage!
There is no way, who allowed the Tang Dynasty King's army to form an army for a relatively short period of time. Many soldiers who were guards in the past are now in high positions!
The King of the Tang Dynasty recruits soldiers who are required to be over 16 years old!
But recruiting officers is not so particular. As long as you can read and pass the physical fitness test, you can be recruited at the age of thirteen or thirty!
But those who dare to abandon their writing and join the army are mostly young men. Even if older scholars come to surrender to thieves, they will tend to become civil servants instead of becoming soldiers to fight in battle. Therefore, from the outside,
The average age of recruited officers is also very low.
This has also led to a very interesting phenomenon, that is, the average age of the officers of the Tang Dynasty King's Division is lower than the average age of the soldiers.
Zhou Quanlong is only seventeen years old this year. He is neither too old nor too young, but he seems very normal among a group of officers from the Tang Dynasty. Most of his comrades-in-arms are no more than twenty years old.
I saw this person take a step forward, and then said: "I, Zhou Quanlong, bow to your majesty!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly: "Thank you Zhou Aiqing for your hard work!"
Zhou Quanlong grinned: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work!"
Later, he met other people as usual, and when Xu Mingzhe arrived, Li Xuan looked at this elegant-looking former Ming Army Qianhu, now Major Wangshi of the Tang Dynasty, deputy commander of the first baggage regiment, and was a little curious.
How did this person rise?
You must know that there were many surrendered generals and soldiers of the Ming army in the Tang Dynasty king's division. The soldiers had nothing to say, but when it came to handling the officers, they had to be more cautious and detailed.
Those with a thousand households or above will be given a temporary job first, and then their performance will be judged. If they do not perform well, they may be poisoned to death that day. If they have a good attitude, they will gradually be exposed to the military affairs of the Tang Dynasty King.
, holding positions that appear to be high but actually have little power.
For example, Li Xuan specially set up the position of 'Privy Council Advisor'. In the previous two wars, many Ming army generals who were demoted were awarded the position of Privy Council Advisor and then raised them.
As for mid-level and low-level officers below Qianhu, it is a matter of initiative. If they are willing to continue serving, they can enter a martial arts school to study first, and then continue to serve. Of course, necessary preferential treatment will still be available, and they will
They will continue to serve as officers, but most of them start as warrant officers.
If you don't want to serve in the army, there are many places in the Tang Dynasty that can accommodate you, such as the many workshops of the Ministry of Industry!
The soldiers were treated in much the same way, and were reorganized into a garrison.
But with this treatment, it is actually very difficult for the Ming Army's surrendered generals to come forward again. First of all, the Ming Army's surrendered troops after reorganization do not need the personal prestige of those Ming Army generals to maintain their troops.
Although these Ming army generals were more experienced in theory and experience, they also knew nothing about how the Tang Dynasty king's army fought.
In other words, today's Tang Dynasty royal division actually does not need the supplement of these Ming army surrendered generals!
In terms of actual appointment, most of these demoted generals were assigned to the garrison troops. However, people like Xu Mingzhe who were able to climb all the way up in the regular army and become senior officers were definitely in the minority.
So Li Xuan is quite curious about Xu Mingzhe and wants to know how he got up!
So Li Xuan asked deliberately: "If you were asked to lead the Fifth Infantry Regiment in the exercise just now, what tactics and tactics would you use?"
However, Xu Mingzhe hesitated slightly and said: "If it is an actual battle, I will lead the team to retreat as soon as possible!"
After hearing this, Li Xuan asked: "But the enemy has a thousand cavalry, how can you retreat?"
Xu Mingzhe said: "After breaking off the two reserve battalions, abandon the heavy artillery and other baggage, and the main force retreats with light equipment!"
What he said was determined and decisive, without any hesitation.
After listening, Li Xuan did not continue to ask questions because he had already got the answer he wanted. This guy is a cruel person!
Although it may seem unbelievable to retreat and sacrifice thousands of people, it is impossible to do such a thing without being ruthless to a certain extent.
Just like how Xu Mingzhe forced his troops to attack the infantry defense line of the Fifth Infantry Regiment, regardless of casualties!
Let alone whether the troops can withstand such a thing, it will be very difficult just for the general's psychological condition.
Without blinking an eye, he directly threw away the lives of thousands of people. Only those who can do this are qualified generals.
As for abilities and qualities, it’s not too late to cultivate them slowly in the future!
This Xu Mingzhe has the demeanor of a heroic general and can continue to be cultivated and used. The Sixth Infantry Regiment happens to be short of a commander, so he can give it a try!
At this time, Xu Mingzhe didn't know that he was already Jian Zai Di Xin, and was regarded by Li Xuan as one of the reserve commanders of the Sixth Infantry Regiment.
After returning from the school grounds outside the city, Li Xuan handled many government affairs as usual!
There were a lot of memorials today, so Li Xuan read them almost at a glance, and then gave some simple instructions, and waited until he got it.
After the memorial was finished, the lanterns were already on, which made Li Xuan sigh!
If Nima continues to be tired like this, I'm afraid I won't live to be thirty. There are a lot of messy things happening every day, and many of them are trivial. Things that can be handled by each cabinet department on their own are also reported.
In this way, Li Xuan can certainly control everything, but it is too tiring to do so.
The work efficiency of the Hanlin Academy is still too low, and the work efficiency of various cabinet ministries is also too low. They are just a bunch of people who just get their salary and do nothing.
But complaining is all about complaining, but now Li Xuan doesn't have a good way to achieve a better balance between tiredness and power grabbing.
We can only adjust it slowly. For example, it is stipulated that this memorial should not be published just because anyone wants it, and trivial matters are not allowed to be published.
If Li Xuan has finished everything, what else do these officials need to do? To look good?
