Chapter Three Hundred and One: Sending Heads
Ten thousand Shen Ce Army will enter Wuweijie Town after Hezhen and become Li Ze's direct subordinates to participate in the suppression of Zhang Zhongwu's rebellion. This is one of Li Yan's conditions, and Li Ze actually agreed without hesitation.
"The court's intention to reach out has never been extinguished." Gongsun Changming smiled and said, "This is probably also a move by those in the court who have doubts about Jieshuai. Jieshuai agreed so easily?"
When Zhang Zhongwu first rebelled, the court wanted to lead his troops into the Northland by Chen Bangzhao, but was flatly opposed by the Beidi Jiezhen. He led by Chengde and organized the Henghai. Zhenwu took the lead in launching an attack, and his intention was to prevent the court from intervening in Jiezhen. Of course, in the end, Chengde suffered major losses due to Zhenwu's rebellion, and the court's intention was also frustrated.
Now, because of Hezhen, they have easily got the unattainable opportunity they had originally thought.
"This is the same as that!" Li Ze said: "At that time, we were worried that the court's troops would seize dominance, but now it is very different. When they arrived at Wuwei, they could only be my subordinates and I would command it. In my opinion, this is the court sending me troops and equipment! Ten thousand Shen Ce troops are always stronger than when we retrain ordinary civilians. The government soldiers are easier and more reliable in combat."
"The court is in danger. When this Shen Ce army goes away, when it comes back, it will be a change of color. If the court has no longer any, then this army will really become the leader of Jieshou." Gongsun Changming said: "It is indeed one time and another. Who is the general in command?"
"Why don't Mr. Gongsun guess?"
"It's hard to guess this. Chen Bangzhao is now responsible for the heavy responsibility of guarding Guanzhong. Qin Zhao, the leader of the imperial guards in Yuan Dynasty, and the two confidants of the emperor, will definitely not leave Guandong." Gongsun Changming shook his head.
"As for the issue of the selection of troops, I bargained with the emperor for a long time, and finally decided that the Huangmen Minister Xue Ping would take this Shen Ce Army to Wuwei." Li Ze looked at Gongsun Changming with a smile.
Gongsun Changming was stunned at first, then laughed: "This is indeed a good candidate. First of all, this person is flawless in morality. Moreover, he is the son of Xue Song, the prince of Yanping County. He has a family background and is not unfamiliar with commanding troops and fighting. I believe Xue Song has also left some team for his son."
"The key is that after this person arrived in Wuwei, when Zhaoyi changed, he would be a key piece, which could be used to involve Zhaoyi, and even use him to gain some advantage in Zhaoyi." Li Ze nodded.
"This person is about the court..." Gongsun Changming asked.
"Xue Ping is an extremely smart person, and his judgment of form is very accurate. When he was twelve years old, he could resolutely abandon the position of Zhaoyi Jiedushi and give him to his uncle, which fully illustrates this point." Li Ze smiled and said, "I like smart people because they can always find their best interests correctly. So Mr. Gongsun doesn't have to worry about him at all."
"Since that's the case, everything will be fine." Gongsun Changming said.
"This time, our purpose has basically been achieved. The merger of the three towns has led us to the name of being righteous and openly, and we have obtained two thousand craftsmen. We can make up for the shortcomings of our Wuwei Town in this regard, so that our technology in all aspects will make great progress. With the joining of great scholars such as Zhang Hui, we will continuously train qualified officials for Wuwei, and at the same time, we have an economic bridgehead in Luoyang to gain foothold and penetrate the south. The establishment of the General Mansion of Qianniuwei has allowed us to have an armed force in Chang'an to deal with the sudden change, and unexpectedly obtained 10,000 Shen Ce Army, which can be said to have exceeded the task!" Li Zexin said satisfiedly.
"No, no, no, there is another major thing that has not been done, this is the top priority!" Gongsun Changming shook his head repeatedly.
"There is another big thing?" Li Ze asked in surprise.
"Of course, isn't this the biggest big thing for Jieshuai's lifelong event?" Gongsun Changming smiled. "Next, we will do our best to handle this big event."
Li Zewenying also smiled.
No matter what, getting married is a big deal. Whether it is the emperor or the nobles or ordinary people, they must be handled seriously. Of course, when it comes to him, he doesn't need to worry much about it.
Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Nazheng, asking for dates, and welcoming each other, naturally her mother personally asked about it. Mrs. Wang felt that she cared too little about Li Ze when she was young, but this time she showed 120,000 enthusiasm. Although everyone knows that these are just some formalities, she also did it very seriously and meticulously.
In the marriage between Li Ze and Liu Ruyan, the two loves each other less, while the political meaning is much stronger. Taking advantage of this marriage, Li Ze firmly tied Liu Chenglin and his subordinates to his own chariot. Now, the Empress Dowager also intervened in and gave Liu Ruyan a great grace. He directly accepted Liu Ruyan as his adopted daughter and promoted him to the princess. In this way, the lintel of the Liu family was greatly improved, and it was no longer Liu's rank, but married.
In this form, who dares to make trouble in these processes with ambition? For example, in the process of asking for names, if anyone dares to say that Li Ze and Liu Ruyan are incompatible and have a conflict and contradictory fate, I am afraid that this person will lose his head immediately and then change to a person with a greater reputation and convincing reputation to prove that the two are simply a match made by heaven.
In order to carry out these six rituals, Mrs. Wang even recruited the tiger-slaughter in Luoyang to Luoyang. The tiger-slaughter has always been outside, but these processes are extremely familiar. More importantly, Mrs. Wang needs the tiger-slaughter to prepare some novel and unconventional gifts for her.
Li Ze originally wanted to ask Gongsun Changming to catch the sword, but he didn't expect that Zhang Hui also came to Chang'an. With a wave of his thick arm, Gongsun Changming was taken aside by him. Zhang Hui, Zhang Daru had to do these three books by himself. In this matter, Gongsun Changming really had no choice but to fight for. Speaking of it, Zhang Hui's reputation was much greater than that of him. More importantly, Gongsun Changming could not beat Zhang Hui. Even if he wanted to fight for it, he could only swallow his breath when he saw Zhang Hui's thick body embryo.
Gongsun Changming really never suffered any frustration in his life, except in front of Zhang Hui. Because of the competition with Zhang Hui, he said that he could not beat the other party. Zhang Hui talked about the truth with Gongsun Changming, and he always raised the matter to an unparalleled height before discussing with Gongsun Changming. Gongsun could only lose a mess in this regard, let alone fight, unless he brought Liang Han by his side.
Mrs. Wang was naturally very happy about Zhang Hui's participation in Li Ze's marriage, which invisibly raised her son's marriage by several levels.
He held his breath and had to devote his enthusiasm to the construction of General Qianniu Guard Mansion again. The civil and military officials of General Qianniu Guard Mansion were allocated, but the soldiers agreed to by the court were still being recruited.
Li Ze actually had nothing to do. In terms of getting married, he could not get involved in anything other than waiting to be the groom.
Seeing his mother and Zhang Hui discussing all the details, Li Zeyi could only listen. After listening for a day, he was impatient, and like Gongsun Changming, he turned his attention to the recruitment of soldiers in the Qianniu Guard General's Mansion.
Li Ze had very clear requirements for recruiting soldiers.
First of all, you must have a good family.
Secondly, if you have to be strong and able to withstand high-intensity training, this army will do a great job in the future.
As for the so-called rangers who were hiding in Chang'an, Li Ze respected Xie Bumin.
Of course, the salary given by General Qianniu Guard is also quite attractive.
The court had specific regulations on the salary of officers and soldiers. In this regard, the Qianniu Guard General's Mansion is no exception. Otherwise, there would be so many other troops in Chang'an, and people would not worry about being weak but not being equal. Therefore, the generous treatment of the soldiers of the Qianniu Guard General's Mansion is more reflected in their daily food, clothing, housing and transportation, and various subsidies.
The money was paid out by Li Ze personally.
In this way, the others had nothing to say. Who made Li Ze the current leader of Wuwei Town? He had territory, income, and was rich and willing to use his private income to subsidize the soldiers. The other troops could only drool and had no choice but to do so.
The generous treatment made the profession of soldiers from Qianniuwei Mansion a popular item in the blink of an eye, with one thousand regular soldiers and three thousand auxiliary soldiers, and the competition was extremely fierce.
If you want to become one of them, there is only one condition for assessment, that is, you can hit it with your fist.
After twenty days of busyness, Li Ze looked at the selected 1,000 soldiers and three thousand auxiliary soldiers, and was extremely satisfied. Ninety percent of these people had no experience in joining the army before, but a piece of white paper was easy to paint. Such people were more beneficial to Li Ze instilling his combat philosophy in them. All of these people were strong, which was even stronger than the soldiers he recruited in the north. After all, the elimination rate of recruitment this time was too high, and those with slightly worse health had been defeated long ago.
The generals who directly commanded this army were Chen Bing and Chu Sheng. Ten Li Ze's personal guards, Yicheng, entered the army to serve as intermediate officers, and the grassroots officers will be selected one by one in the subsequent training.
By the end of April, the construction of General Qianniu Guard was completed, and Li Ze's marriage finally completed all the procedures. May 1st will be the day when Li Ze gets married.
