Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren and others led their people to attack Black Tiger Village and Huang Guishan. Although Li Xuan also made arrangements to sow discord, after being reminded by Mrs. Bai, he temporarily gave it up and continued to Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren and others.
Follow-up plans for adding sand.
Instead, he focused his attention on the affairs within Huangzhu Mountain.
However, many other civil affairs affairs were handled by Liu Bagou and Wang Wenhua. The Tang Dynasty was a bit big, and there were no major events on weekdays. Li Xuan let Liu Bagou and the others handle some trivial matters.
His own focus was on the Guards.
However, he didn't mean to run over and train the soldiers personally every day. Instead, he maintained the previous situation. He went there once every three days, and usually asked a few of his guards to help train.
Anyway, the training of the Guards has formed a complete set of procedures in the past six months. What they do every day is formation, discipline and the physical training of the soldiers themselves.
Tactical training was originally arranged, but in the huge Huangzhu Mountain, it was impossible to find anyone who knew tactics. All the bandits knew was to swarm up and start fighting, and they didn't understand formations at all.
As for Li Xuan himself, if you ask him to talk about infantry-artillery synergy, infantry-tank synergy, etc., he can talk about it. After all, he has watched some movies and TV series and has some understanding of these things.
But you have to ask him how ancient armies fought?
To be honest, he himself knows nothing about it. The only thing he can do is to make the Guards form strict discipline and neat formation. As for how to fight, he will study it later.
When the envoy reported back a few days ago, Li Xuan also focused on asking about the performance of the more than 20 Guards brought by Wang Danxu. The result made him quite disappointed, because although Wang Danxu brought more than 20 Guards,
But Fang Dongquan and the others obviously couldn't trust these teenagers.
So most of the time, these guards were brought at the back, which was said to be holding back the formation, but in fact Fang Dongquan and Butcher Chen just thought these little brats were in the way, so they stayed behind out of sight and out of mind.
So so far, the Guards have never really fought a war. Li Xuan doesn't know how the Guards fight, and neither does Wang Danxu.
But it doesn't matter, because now there is a real general in Huangzhu Mountain: Zeng Ziyun.
After Zeng Ziyun rejected the recruitment of the Tang Dynasty a few days ago, Li Xuan did not give up his plan to recruit this person, but planned to continue to work hard.
No, I had nothing to do today, and Li Xuan called Zeng Ziyun over again!
When Zeng Ziyun saw Li Xuan again, his expression was still firm, and he even occasionally showed disdain in his eyes.
During this period of time, Zeng Ziyun finally understood that the false emperor Li Xuan really wanted to recruit him, otherwise he would not entertain him with good food and drinks, and he was not angry even if he rejected him before.
This gave Zeng Ziyun the confidence!
Seeing Zeng Ziyun's arrogant look, Bai Yunqi, who was already very unhappy with him, immediately snorted coldly and cast a threatening expression.
Zeng Ziyun, who originally had a disdainful expression on his face, felt his heart tremble when he saw Bai Yunqi glaring at him angrily, and then involuntarily withdrew his disdainful gaze, but he remembered very clearly that this Bai Yunqi was not very friendly to him.
If he offended this stupid young man, he might just chop himself with a knife.
Li Xuan didn't care about the eye contact between the two people, but took them to the playground.
Huangzhushan is a very small place. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the playground. At this time, Li Xuan pointed at a large group of bandits training on the playground and said: "General Zeng, what do you think of my soldiers?"
Zeng Ziyun had long seen a large group of soldiers training on the playground, but he didn't know which soldiers Li Xuan was referring to.
Because there are two groups of people training on the playground, one group is young and middle-aged, standing in a rigid formation at this moment, and the other group is young and strong, all waving swords.
Zeng Ziyu even saw the figures of his own soldiers among the young men wielding swords.
He had known a few days ago that many of the soldiers who were captured with him had surrendered to the Huangzhushan bandit army, but he didn't care and wasn't even surprised.
After all, those were just ordinary soldiers. Even if they all surrendered, it would have no real impact. And they did not know the concept of loyalty to the imperial court. For them, there was no difference between serving as a soldier for the Tang Dynasty and serving as a soldier for a daimyo.
It is not surprising that he surrendered after being captured.
The two groups of people in front of him, the young and strong bandits, were in a mess and did not look like an army at all. Instead, he was very interested in the dozens of half-grown men lining up.
Although these soldiers looked to be only more than ten years old, their bodies were not fully grown, and their swords and guns were clearly out of place.
However, these young men are very disciplined and can follow the orders of several bosses to make consistent movements.
And this is not a simple matter!
Zeng Ziyun, who was born as a general and had personally led soldiers for two years, could tell at a glance that if the two sides lined up to fight, the young and strong bandits might look fierce, but they would definitely not be the opponents of those half-grown men.
Turning his head slightly and looking at Li Xuan, he remembered the rumors he had heard occasionally in recent days. He heard that these half-grown men were personally trained by the young pseudo-emperor Li Xuan in front of him. It seems that this pseudo-emperor Li Xuan did not
It's simple.
However, although he was a little admired in his heart, he would never show it. On the contrary, he had to maintain the pride of a court official. He immediately showed a disdainful expression and said: "It's just a disorderly bandit army. In front of our great tomorrow's soldiers."
, vulnerable!"
Hearing Zeng Ziyun's words, Bai Yunqi immediately laughed: "It seems that those who fled in Luohu Valley were your Ming army!"
Hearing this, Zeng Ziyun's face froze, and then he said: "Humph, the battle in Luohu Valley was not a crime of war!"
When Li Xuan heard this, he said, well, even if you lose the battle, you can say that it is not a crime of war, but God's failure. According to what you said, so many armies that have been defeated since ancient times are all blamed on God?
However, Li Xuan did not refute him, but continued: "Between General Zeng, how are my guards and your guards?"
Zeng Ziyun did not answer this time. Although he wanted to forcefully say that his guards were more powerful, as a knowledgeable general, he was unwilling to open his eyes and tell lies. He knew that these half-hearted men in front of him were
The formation of the Guards is really good, even a little stronger than the own guard station.
Well, it's just a little stronger, but definitely not much stronger!
Seeing that Zeng Ziyun remained silent, Li Xuan smiled and continued: "What would General Zeng think if I let these Guards equip themselves with muskets on a large scale?"
