Finally, everything was laid out except for armaments.
By this time, Li Jie had also completed the weapons inspection, but the court had no intention of equipping the imperial army.
Even Di Qing went out...
Maybe I don’t blame the minister for this, maybe it’s my father’s fault.
Several times, it seemed that Fu Bi wanted to say something to him, but Zhao Xi kept avoiding him. He was really afraid that Fu Bi would complain to him about poverty again, and then deny Wen Yanbo's plans.
As for Song Chu, he didn't take on Wen Yanbo's problems at all. He drank and feasted every day and just went about his life like this.
Speaking of which, I have almost divested myself of nearly a hundred thousand forbidden troops. If I can save these expenses, I can try to equip some of them first, right? But they are all pretending to be stupid.
We have been working on armaments for a long time and paid for it. Not to mention that we have spare money, most of the business related to armaments is under our control.
Use it and see how long it takes!
It has been a while, and it has been a long time since the governors gave His Highness the Crown Prince lectures.
Zhao Xi was notified once again that he was asked to receive a lecture from Zhi Zai in the afternoon... The only person who came was Fu Bi.
This is a bit interesting. Are you ready for a showdown?
"Your Highness, there will be no classes today..."
Sure enough, he was here. It would have been better if Fu Bi didn't say so. As soon as he spoke like this, Zhao Xi immediately became wary.
In fact, Zhao Xi sometimes likes to chat with these old foxes and can figure out their thoughts.
"Your Highness, what I said today will not be recorded or passed on to anyone else. It is a private conversation between Bi and Your Highness."
Oh, that's right. Apart from anything else, Zhao Xi can still trust the integrity of this group of people. Pang Ji once had this happen to him, and Zhao Xi's words really didn't spread.
In fact, Zhao Xi wanted to spread the word.
"Your Highness, how many troops do you need to protect your camp now that you are in danger?"
This... Zhao Xi was a little stunned. What do you mean? Do you want to restrict going out? Do you think he is too greedy? Whose interests are being offended by this?
Sigh... I should have known better that I wouldn't care about this shit.
If the imperial court restricts his going out, there's really no need to say anything about it. No one, whether it's his father, the inner court, or even the alliance he has formed, will disapprove.
"Fu Xiang, since you don't want to tell the six ears, you might as well say it clearly."
It’s boring to guess.
"Di Hanchen once proposed to split the guard camp and use it to train the Imperial Guards. It happened that the Xinyang Army rebelled, which coincided with their meeting, causing them to go out."
"Now that I am bringing up the old matter again, without saying anything about splitting it up, I would like to transfer some soldiers from the guard camp to train the Imperial Guards. Is it possible?"
"Bizhi's guard camp is the personal army of His Royal Highness, and the laws of the country do not allow the court to interfere. What I am saying now is based on my personal relationship with His Highness."
Is it possible? Of course! Ten thousand is fine. Fu Yanguo, you are so polite! If I had known you were going to tell me this, I would have told you earlier...
"Fu Xiang, if there is no powerful crossbow or divine arm crossbow, Xi will have no worries about protecting himself. Moreover, Xi believes that even if the guard battalion is split up, it will not matter. He only needs to recruit troops again and create another guard battalion in two or three years.
"
Originally, I was thinking about a three-year term. How many years have it been? There is no use in welding these elites to death by my side.
"Your Highness, it is not appropriate to split up. Officials are not allowed to be one. Bi's concern is that after the guard camp was split, it was scattered among various camps. It was not that there was one more guard camp, but that the guard camp was corrupted..."
Now in the guard camp, the whole atmosphere is like this. If the soldiers in the guard camp are scattered, he will be in a very small number, and the atmosphere of the Imperial Guards' Forbidden Army... can't be said.
Everyone has adaptability to the environment, both good and bad.
It has to be said that Fu Bi thought carefully, just as Zhao Xi originally thought, for a three-year period, I am afraid that in the end, none of the best soldiers will be left.
At this time, Zhao Xi seemed to understand Fu Bi and the many courtiers in the court who were worried about the country and the people.
The current situation of the country is not something that one person or a small group of people can change.
This requires the determination of an emperor, the courage to have no hesitation, and the spirit of perseverance.
Dad, it’s not that the children are complaining. You really hurt them at the beginning, so that later on, they were all dyed by the big dye vat, so they were so willing to be paper framers, or maybe it was because of their cold heart.
If you have a consistent purpose, the rest will be easy to say.
Every fifty soldiers of the guard camp form a team, responsible for the training and screening of the Forbidden Army... The screening was proposed by Zhao Xi.
He does not think that all the Imperial Guards are qualified, so he believes that there should be distinctions among the soldiers, and even differences in treatment. To put it bluntly, he wants to cultivate the soldiers' sense of superiority, pride and honor.
This is not a boast, the current soldiers of the guard camp do not behave in any despicable manner in front of any civil servant.
Not only because His Royal Highness the Prince is a member of the army, but also because the Imperial City Secretary is an official and does not have the uprightness of the guard camp!
Over the years, under the influence of the rules and regulations compiled by Zhao Xi, the soldiers in the guard camp no longer regard it as a humble service, but regard it as a supreme and honorable thing.
The selected forbidden troops should be separated from the original military camps and set up separate camps, and even their military pay, money and food should also be separated.
The Imperial Guards are piles of sludge. I hope this approach can save some good materials that are not completely rotten.
As for what is originally mud, just leave it like this for now until we have a way to deal with it.
Then, in order to improve the treatment of this part of the imperial army, we can even use the nearly 100,000 yuan and grain converted to civilian status for them.
At the same time, this part of the Forbidden Army will be gradually equipped according to the equipment of the escort battalion.
In order to avoid official objections, it was initially decided that a thousand soldiers would be sent out each time, divided into twenty teams, for a period of six months, and rotated every six months.
If any of the current soldiers are corrupted after half a year, this strategy will stop! Fu Bi is very determined on this point.
Zhao Xi didn't think that the soldiers in the guard camp could be corrupted in half a year, unless he had no brains. The problem was that none of the people elected by the imperial court were stupid.
What's more, as for the soldiers of the current guard camp, if you drag out any one at random, the worst he can do is be a ninth-grade Hoyiro... My father's rewards for the soldiers of the guard camp are much more generous than those of the Imperial City Division.
As long as they are not stupid, these soldiers will never lose their future and surrender, not even their family members.
Any soldier in the current guard camp in Bianliang is no worse than a sixth-grade court official.
Not to mention that His Royal Highness the Prince is a member of the army, the key is that everyone’s family members are making a living in the guard camp.
Whether it's a quilt factory, a food factory, or a furniture factory... these are all names called by His Highness the Crown Prince, and they sound high-end when you hear them.
Moreover, this time the woolen workshop was being built, many of their family members were already working as stewards.
The root of all this is that they are a guard camp.
Therefore, Zhao Xi still trusts the soldiers of the guard camp, not only because of his indoctrination over the years, but also because of his interests.
The most important thing is responsibility. Zhao Xi doesn't want the guards to get involved in disputes too early, so when the soldiers of the guard camp go out, they are only responsible for training and selecting troops, and do not participate in the management of specific affairs.
To put it bluntly, it’s just the treatment that attracts people!
This series of momentum building should have some results. Just look at the rebellion of the Xinyang Army. The soldiers believe that anything related to His Royal Highness must be a good thing.
