0668 Eagle Garden Leopard Square, internal and external army

Since His Highness Yong also had to report to the court for instructions or entanglement by the so-called Tang Muyi issue of the Tubo princess, the princess of the Fan Kingdom did not arrange any ceremonial guards to enter the capital, and just led and escorted the city.

After entering the city, Xingtai did not arrange any official residence for the princess of the Fan Kingdom, but chose a free residence in the east of Chang'an City where the house was searched without officials for him to live.

Such a low-key approach, except for some important officials in Taiwan, most people in Chang'an City did not know that such a prominent foreign country with extraordinary status had arrived in Chang'an City.

This is not a negligence. Not to mention that His Highness Yong also intends to take advantage of this matter, Tubo is now in a state of sloppy diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty. Even the Empress Dowager Wu Zetian, who is so proud of his majesty, sent envoys to congratulate him during the early revolution, did not make any big publicity.

After the Tubo princess entered the city, her sense of existence became even weaker. In addition to the guards and guards of the entire army, Daxingtai seemed to have completely forgotten the existence of such a person. Even Guo Yuanzhen, who was led into the court, had completely disappeared.

The reason why Guo Yuanzhen did not come to visit was not only to avoid suspicion, but also because he had no time. After returning to Chang'an, he obtained a new position, namely the chief clerk of Chang'an County.

Guo Yuanzhen was also quite surprised by this appointment. He thought that according to his career history and His Highness Yong's use of his dismissal, he would either continue to serve in Shuzhong or go to Longyou to join the Rong brigade, but he did not expect to be left directly in Chang'an as the chief clerk.

Of course, no matter what Guo Yuanzhen thinks, since His Highness Yong has such an appointment, he naturally has to accept it. What's more, as the capital of Jingji County, Chang'an County is an extraordinary promotion.

In addition to missing the life of taking foreign soldiers to fight against the foreign troops in the Tubo territory, Guo Yuanzhen was not dissatisfied with this, and he happily took office as soon as he received the order. Chang'an County has a lot of affairs, and now it is a busy season for renting and transferring to warehouses in autumn. Once he gets involved, he naturally has no time and energy to ask about other things.

What's more, His Highness Yong has his own opinions on how to deal with the Tubo princess. No matter how hard Guo Yuanzhen couldn't think of it, he would never ask any more questions.

Although Li Tong expressed his opinion that he would meet the princess of the Fan Kingdom first, once he became busy, this matter was left behind.

Not to mention the issues of negotiating with the court, the handling of various military and political affairs has made him very busy, and even welcoming his brother to Kyoto requires the arrangement of affairs in advance and time to take out.

Moreover, there is another important thing that he needs to deal with personally, and even pay attention to throughout the process, that is, the army selected by the troops sent to Chang'an Guards have entered Beijing one after another.

This is a guard armed force directly under his command. Li Tong didn't even want the Taiwan to interfere too much, and he had to do everything himself. From the formation of the camp, to the smallest war horse, to every armor, almost everything had to be tested by himself.

Although the soldiers of the Jiajia were all from the towns and corpses, the Tang Dynasty had not yet formed such a distinctive border armed group in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and Li Tong did not intend to allow such trends to develop in the future.

Although the system of the government troops has been in name only, its tradition of the guards is still worthy of preservation. Therefore, for this army that is likely to become a real central guard force in the future, he naturally hopes to leave his own personal imprint in all aspects.

For this reason, Li Tong did not even follow the original battalion organization of the Tang army, but instead learned from the company battalion organization of the later army, and carried out more detailed reorganization and distribution of the soldiers.

Of course, it does not mean that the organizational structure of later generations must be good. After all, there are huge differences in combat environment, combat methods and armed levels, and the best one is suitable.

Although the Central Guard Army has important responsibilities, its military activities and combat environment are very single. In particular, various ceremonial operations occupy a large amount of Guard time. Li Tong has been in the north and south government offices, and has a deep feeling about this. No matter how elite and brave the soldiers are, if they are just like this for a long time, their combat effectiveness will be impossible.

Moreover, due to the long-term approach of the center of power, the imperial guards are particularly vulnerable to the influence of power, especially in middle-level generals and schools.

During the Jinglong period, the Crown Prince Li Chongjun of the Zhongzong Dynasty launched a coup. Although he attracted a group of senior imperial guards, such as Li Duozuo, Li Sichong, and Li Qianli, the royal family, he eventually failed in front of Xuanwu Gate.

During the Tanglong period when Zhongzong died, Li Longji, who planned the coup, made full use of the middle-level imperial guards. Even Zhong Shaojing, the director of Gongyuan, who did not belong to the imperial guards system, mobilized eunuchs and the palace maids participated in the coup. Although Empress Wei arranged for his Wei family to occupy a large number of positions in the imperial guards of the two yamen, he was still dealt with by the subordinates.

With this in mind, Li Tong did not intend to form too large combat units for the guard he formed.

The commanders of each border commander selected a thousand people to enter the capital. The elite border troops of this 10,000 were the core force of the Chang'an City Guard. This 10,000 people were divided into four armies and called the Central Fourth Army. Based on this Central Fourth Army, Li Tong also set up the Fourth Battalion of the Inner Guard.

In addition to the troops from each side entering Chang'an, the regiments of the relevant states also need to gather 20,000 troops in Chang'an City before this winter to carry out military exercises. This part of the troops will be organized into the Eighth Army of the Foreign Army.

Although the army each has its own military leader, it is only responsible for the distribution of soldiers and daily training of the battalions. All internal and external subordinates are mainly dispatched in battalions.

As for the four inner guard camps, it is more detailed. The camp is divided into left and right battalions as left and right lords, which are in line with the two lords. There are eight squads under each troop, with sixteen people in each troop. The period from the army leader to the camp soldiers is three months.

This so-called squad is not a direct collection of later generations, but originated from the 16 squads of the prince's marriage office and 16 squads of the 16 squads of the 16 squads, which is the basic combat organization of the fourth battalion of the inner guards. Whenever King Yong entered the lodge or traveled, he selected two squads of each of the four battalions, either stayed at the lodge or followed.

Of course, it is difficult to prevent evil thieves with good locks, and Li Tong did not think that such a detailed organization could prevent all hidden dangers. In addition to strictly preventing details, he also hopes to select and cultivate a group of loyal and brave generals through such a system.

In addition to the Fourth Battalion of the Inner Guard and the Twelve Army of China and Foreign Countries, Li Tong also set up two new supporting venues in the imperial city, one Yingyuan and the other Leopard House. Yingyuan explained the strategy of military strategy, while Leopard House practiced the skills of archery and horse fighting. All the soldiers inside and outside entered the Yuanfang to study and get excellent exams, and the Taiwan Ministry of War will be given priority.

After the internal and external military system was drafted, Li Tong had a new thing to do, that is, the supply of armored instruments of the Chang'an City Guards, and even the supply of ordnances of the border troops under the jurisdiction of the entire Shaanxi Daxingtai.

During the Wude period of Emperor Gaozu, weapons surveillance was set up in the court, but it was abolished soon. All matters were divided into Shaofu, Taifu and the Ministry of War. At present, the relationship between the Daxingtai and the court was obviously not expected to continue to provide weapons, and it needed to manufacture them by itself.

Li Tong had the idea of ​​establishing a military weapon surveillance in Xijing, but he had been delayed by various matters before. It was not until now that he had the energy to deal with this issue.

Creating a military weapon surveillance is not just a book order. The materials, craftsmen, standards, etc. are trivial and complicated. Fortunately, Li Tong doesn't need to deal with these things personally. He put forward this idea at the regular meeting of the Taiwan Strait and signed an urgent handling, and the relevant personnel of the Taiwan Strait will supervise.

King Yong had a lot of ideas, which made the people who were working in Xingtai feel very miserable. Almost everything was piled up on everyone's desk. But they also saw King Yong being busy and forgetting to eat and sleep, so they really had no way to complain.

However, when Yao Yuanchong saw the emperor Yong and was about to send the memorial to the court, he couldn't help but feel sad, and sighed: "Your Highness, can the memorial be postponed and then handed over to the capital of God? Now that winter is coming, the electors of the states have entered the capital one after another. If they are with the court at this time... I am afraid that the journey of talented people to the west will be blocked!"

Although the Daxingtai has been absorbing fresh blood through various channels and methods since its establishment, Xijing has not been the center for a long time. Even if King Yong is better than Qinghai, it will take a certain amount of time to wait for the feedback from the personnel to come and submit.

Yao Yuanchong and others were struggling to make a lot of miserable progress, hoping that around the time when Shendu Dongji was in full swing, they would poach from the court on a large scale and attract talents to join the Daxingtai to alleviate the current overload operation of Daxingtai.

But King Yong is now submitting a letter to the letter. Even if Yao Yuanchong looks at it with his eyebrows, he knows that King Yong is not pure. That's why he said this.

After hearing this, Li Tong just sighed: "Do you want money or someone?"

There is no choice for this problem. Even if a talented man comes to invest in a large scale, he cannot simply use Ai to generate electricity. The necessary reserves of money and grain in Xingtai must be available. But if he does not find a reason to take advantage of the issue, Xingtai will have no reason to intercept Qiufu money and grain.

Why? Just when you were given a position, you planned to pass the order of owning money and food?

Although Yao Yuanchong's worries are not without reason, they are not too serious. The reason why Li Tong chose this topic to argue with the court was that this issue of sovereignty in the territory was the most attractive issue.

Xingtai's attitude towards this aspect is distinct and tough, which naturally makes people admire him. The electors of various states, Sheng Jishendu, if the court hesitated afterwards, those who elected with generous ambitions might just go west with their swords and guard the border with generously.

Even if you can't join the army and kill Fan, look at the Tubo princess figure, you don't need to go this trip.

By the way, where did the Tubo princess arrange it?

Li Tong's thoughts were scattered for a moment, and then he remembered such a thing. After Yu Xing asked in Taichung, the masses were confused. Everyone had a lot of affairs on their desks, and no one received the notice to pay attention to the Tubo princess.

It was not until Wannian County Magistrate Wang Meichang ran into Xingtai that he told His Highness Yong the exact situation of the Tubo princess being placed.
