Chapter Four Hundred and Fortieth: Appointment

Black teeth were always stunned, and a look of surprise flashed through his eyes.

Although there are not many opportunities for the function of the Guardian Captain to go to the battlefield.

But in fact, he essentially performed the duties of the guards. He protected the coach on weekdays and was the coach's personal guard. When he arrived on the battlefield, he would assume the responsibility of the firefighting team once the front line was in a hurry.

He never expected that Chen Zhengtai would hand over the guard camp to himself.

I thought that with my background and qualifications, I would at most just help Xue Rengui. Thinking that Xue Rengui would show off his power in front of him, Hei Teeth Changzhi felt that his future was dim.

But at this moment, his body trembled, and tears were in his eyes.

What does it mean to die for a confidant? Following a man like Han Gong, I really want to die for him immediately.

He said without hesitation: "Here."

"Basically, that's it. This new army is of great importance. I said that it is ahead. The establishment of a new army will be of great use in the future. If it is not helpful at that time, your future will naturally be dim. My Chen family is afraid that there will be a catastrophe." Chen Zhengtai's face today was particularly serious.

Your Majesty has made up his mind, which means that the Chen family can only follow Li Shimin and go to the dark.

If it can succeed, of course... the Chen family has great benefits. But if it fails, the Chen family's foundation will be completely ruined and all their capital will be lost.

Of course, Chen Zhengtai has confidence in Li Shimin.

He believed that in any era, there would always be a monster, and this monster would always turn decay into magic and become the backbone of history. To a certain extent, Li Shimin was such a person.

But this does not mean that heroes will not have a tragedy of dying before they succeed.

Chen Zhengtai believes that Li Shimin must have his own trump card. Before this trump card is revealed, no one knows what it will be.

But at least, as an emperor's card, the new army must have a look, not worse than those imperial guards.

As for Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, and Black Tooth Changzhi, although they once flashed like dazzling meteors in history, now... can they really put all their hopes on them?

You know, what they may have to face are those good families in Guanlong, those who have grown up with these places with strong customs and strong people? They are all known for their bravery.

Not to mention, the aristocratic children who have occupied the world's resources and piled up over thousands of years? These aristocratic children can be said to be the essence of today, and countless dazzling civil and military officials have emerged.

I have to say? The foundation is still too low.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but feel a little reckless? He was careless.

If I had known this, the Chen family would have been on the side where there were more people.

Of course, this thought just flashed through.

Because... life is in the world? Especially after two lifetimes of being a human being? If you don't push history and don't let the wheel of history move forward? But you only know how to live a life of silence? If you don't change the unreasonable things in front of you, do you have to wait until the world is dry? Until the volcano erupts, when a person like Huang Chao raises his arms and then dyes the country blood red, will you be willing to give up?

Rather than doing this? It is better to use a more secure way to force those aristocratic races to consciously give up their interests. Otherwise, when Thunder really comes, will the Chen family be spared?

Now that he has a son and a guy named Jifan, Chen Zhengtai understands even more that he has no way to go, and he will never be able to face thunder.

After taking a deep breath, he said, "The new army is practicing day and night. All supplies and weapons must be the best. From now on... None of you is allowed to slackewer. What I want to practice is a war of war. In addition..."

Speaking of this, Chen Zhengtai looked sideways at Fang Yiai, the director of the record officer, and said, "Yiai."

Fang Yiai immediately stood up: "Here."

Chen Zhengtai said: "If you record the military, you are not only responsible for documentary documents and official documents. You are also responsible for the thoughts in the military."

"Thoughts?" Fang Yiai was stunned and looked at Chen Zhengtai in confusion.

Chen Zhengtai said patiently: "You should organize the soldiers to read newspapers, tell them what the way of loyalty is, tell them what the meaning of their existence is, teach them why the new army is different from other military horses. You should also tell them how to live and why they deserve to die. You are responsible for this matter, and you have read a lot of books. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that I believe you can do this well."

Fang Yiai couldn't help but say, "Will the students... become their teachers?"

"You can think like this." Chen Zhengtai said: "Transfer knowledge is one aspect. They are the official army, how can they teach knowledge? So... you need to take care of their lives at any time, communicate with them more on weekdays, and remember what difficulties they have on weekdays, or even what difficulties they have at home. Every soldier must record their family situation, their daily minds, and their concerns. Occasionally, they can organize some activities, in short... they cannot be rigidly instilled...

You must be short of a lot of people here. You might as well go to the university, or think about your classmates, whether there are some scholars, who want to join the army, and you choose people from it. If you have scholars, you can also join the army. You can consider it and give them the ninth-rank military position. You should take the lead in setting up a military office. Of course, you are still young now and are just a record of joining the army. In this military office, you still have to let your junior brother Deng Jian come and be the chief of the military office. You are responsible for assisting him."

After a pause, Chen Zhengtai continued: "Tomorrow I will suggest to Your Majesty that Deng Jian will come to the new army."

This is simply a luxurious lineup. In this way, there are probably many civil servants in this new army. The leading chief minister is the top scholar and the chief of Dali Temple. Fang Yiai is just a record-keeping officer in the army. In addition, the large number of juren and scholars assigned to the army at that time, there are dozens of civil servants in the size of the military office. If some civil servants are added, they will probably exceed a hundred. This is almost unheard of in other armies.

However, the responsibility of joining the Military Office seems to be very important. On the one hand, he is responsible for handing over official documents, recording files, and may even allocate personnel, and may also be responsible for the merit exam in the future.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. It also needs to assume the role of a teacher, organize people to read books and newspapers, and teach some knowledge.

To a certain extent, it also has certain logistical functions and needs to care about the psychology of officers and soldiers.

Fang Yiai was indeed young, but after all, he was a Jinshi. He soon realized that in the future, the real center of the new army was the Military Office. At least in normal times, only in wartime will the functions of the captains of each battalion be highlighted.

Fang Yiai suddenly became energetic and said, "Senior Brother Deng, I have always admired him. It would be better for him to be the chief minister. As for the personnel, I will go to the school in a few days and try my best to choose more outstanding juniors."

Seeing him serious, Chen Zhengtai nodded with relief: "You are still young, follow Deng Jian to study hard."

"Here."

In this way, this luxurious new army was established.

Five thousand young and strong men directly joined the army, and the training of new recruits was carried out in advance, so the muskets, artillery and war horses had time to prepare.

As for armor and swords, they are all ready-made.

Although the money and grain are withdrawn from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War, in fact, there are still quite a few places to pay for it. After all,... the new army is a bit over the standard. For someone else, from equipment to food and then to military pay, it only takes three jin per month. When the new army comes, a person's head costs twenty-seven jin. No one can stand it. It can be imagined that the Ministry of War would rather wipe his neck and commit suicide than pay the money.

He did it as soon as he said, and the next day, Chen Zhengtai wrote a letter to ask Deng Jian to join the army.

Li Shimin immediately criticized without saying a word.

This is rare good news for the court.

During this period, the new army has been troubled by everyone, and no one knows the intention of Your Majesty, especially for the imperial guards, this is something they deserve to be wary of!

This is the first time to recruit children of hundreds of workers. Could your Majesty be the move to boost the status of all workers?

But as soon as Deng Jian left, everyone in Dali Temple was happy. No one liked this person. Not to mention Dali Temple, even other tribes secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This impermanent ghost, one day in Dali Temple, made people unable to sleep or eat. God knows what else he wants to do.

It would be great if I went to the army.

...

Liu Sheng followed his several of his partners and entered the camp excitedly.

To be honest, he was surprised by the fact that he was shorter and did not expect anything. Many young men like him were very excited about it and everyone was talking about it. Naturally, Liu Sheng went to sign up without hiding his parents, and was asked about his background, filled in his household registration information, and then went through a physical examination.

Just at night, while I was having dinner with my father who was working, the letter to inform me of joining the army was delivered.

Liu's father looked surprised, but his face changed when he looked at the letter.

Liu's father's idea is different from others. Many miners and laborers do encourage their children to join the army.

But Liu's father is now a backbone craftsman in a mechanical workshop. Because his skills are better than others, he doesn't have to put in too much effort. However, his salary is several times that of ordinary labor and miners. In Liu's father's opinion, he has already arranged his son's future. When the boy is older, he will ask someone to take him to the workshop as an apprentice. After he learns this craft with himself, he will be considered as a son who inherits his father's business and will be able to have food and clothing in the future.

Moreover... the Liu family is different from other people with many children. Liu's father only has a son like Liu Sheng, so he almost deaf ears about joining the army outside, and he never thought about letting his only son join the army!

"What is this?" At this time, Liu's father glared at Liu Sheng and asked.

"Enter the new army."

Liu's father frowned and said angrily: "Didn't you not allow you to go?"

Looking at his father's ugly face, Liu Sheng was a little timid, but he said, "They all went, how could I not go?"

Liu's father frowned and said, "Go back."

Liu Sheng hurriedly said, "You can't give up. They said that if you sign up, you must go. Otherwise, you will be punished. Besides... I really want to go... I read the newspaper and said..."

"You..." Liu's father looked particularly strict, his face was pale, his body trembled slightly, and his rough hands slapped on the dining table.

Liu's mother wanted to turn around with concern between her eyebrows: "I said..."

"It's not your business." Liu's father said unreasonably: "If you say no, you are not allowed to go. If you dare to go, you will break your legs."

Liu Sheng sniffed, but he still looked stubborn.

Liu's father said coldly: "Did you hear it?"

"I..." Liu Sheng thought for a while and said, "I have to go. The newspaper said very clearly. Why are we looked down upon as craftsmen? It is because... we only greed for the small profits we had before. So what if we can earn a salary? After earning a salary, wouldn't we have to walk with our heads down when we arrived in Chang'an City? If everyone had such a thought, we would not be able to raise our heads for generations. Now the emperor is particularly kind and has formed a new army, so that people like us can raise our heads. Everyone wants to live a peaceful life, but is there any peace in this world that is just for nothing? So, I have to go. When I get rid of my armor, I will still inherit the family business and be a good blacksmith, but now it is not. This is called the right thing to do. If you don't go, let others protect me and let me live a comfortable life here. I feel uneasy."

After hearing this, Liu's father immediately started cursing.

Liu Sheng ignored it.

However, Liu's mother had to persuade her, saying that even if she let her child listen to her advice, she would not scold her like this.

Liu's father was furious again and started arguing with Liu's mother.

After a quick meal, Liu Sheng simply went back to his bedroom and fell asleep.

He slept in a daze until dawn. The simple tiles of the roof could not resist the movements next door. Liu Shengsi heard Liu's father's cough and whispered to his mother: "Take more jerky meat, who knows if there is any food in the camp? He will take a can of sauce with him. He loves to eat. Have you packed up his clothes... I always feel worried. How dangerous this army is. In the future, I will use troops sooner or later. If I am not careful, I may have my life. He is still a child. Can you understand something? Do you really think it is so easy in the army? Bring more clothes inside, and the weather will turn cold... I am so angry that this brat. When he talks to me like this, I think I haven't given birth to this little beast."

At this time, Liu's mother cried.

Liu's father looked displeased and said, "Why are you crying? I didn't see you persuade me yesterday. Now I know I'm crying. In fact, it's okay. The next door, Carpenter Zhao and Zeng San's son, also went there. After joining the army, there was always someone to take care of him. This army was led by Han Gong, so there should be no mistakes. Okay, don't cry. He will wake up later. Since he really wants to leave, always let him leave more steadily..."
