Xue Chongxun went ashore in Chuzhou and took the guard convoy back to Luoyang by land.
Bai Qimei did not go with Xue Chongxun. When he was parting, he couldn't help but feel reluctant to leave. After all, he had been together for a long time...
He tried to guess Bai Qimei's thoughts, but in the end he couldn't guess it thoroughly.
Logically, the world is dangerous, and running around is not a good day. Moreover, she is in danger now. Xue Chongxun can provide her with protection, but she actually refused.
Xue Chongxun said to her, take care of her and let her live well.She smiled and said purely: So are you, I believe you will defeat your opponent.
Yuqing returned to Luoyang with Xue Chongxun, and Shangqing Temple belonged to her.
Xue Chongxun couldn't help but think of a question on the way: When he left Luoyang last time, Yuqing confessed in front of so many people, and everyone thought that her affection was for me. If Princess Taiping unfortunately fell next year, I would also finish it. The officials in the Dongdu official who coveted Yuqing and Yudao's beauty. Will they use this as an excuse to implicate her and take the opportunity to seize the opportunity?
It is already difficult to grasp one's own destiny in the world, let alone others?
……
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce only do not consider production, but are always fighting for profit and power.
After Xue Chongxun returned to Luoyang, he was bound to fight for power and profit.
According to his idea, the new canal transportation system was completely established by him. Why did Li Longji's people get involved?
It is necessary to gather Hedong Scholars Group and officials who depend on Princess Taiping to exclude those who have landed in Luoyang and other places.
In the canal transportation system, Xue Chongxun promoted and won over people with preconceptions and occupied various important positions. It is easy to compete for most of the power, but it is still impossible to avoid the faction of the yamen being placed in various spies, forming various elbows...
There is really no way, because the prince is in charge of the country, he has the power to directly appoint all officials under the fifth rank without asking for instructions.
If you are in Chang'an, officials under the fifth rank are not very important, but local officials are different. The governors of the middle and lower ranks are only under the fourth rank, and officials under the fifth rank can also hold more important positions.
In particular, the officials and generals in the 12,000 grain escort guards who were recruiting and training were soon placed with a large number of people from the prince. It was almost impossible for Xue Chongxun to control this army.
His wishful thinking was lost.
He could not master the storm that was about to begin, but he expected that Xue Chongxun would try his best to cultivate his strength, and the more strength he had, the more chance of winning.
So he collected various information about ship-hijacking thieves, and ordered Tang Tuanlian to select and form a recruiting army of 300 people on the grounds of organizing troops to wipe out the bandits.
If there are fewer people, the matter will be small, and it will not easily attract Chang'an's attention... It's just that three hundred pairs of modao and armor are a problem.They can only try to select the bravest and most capable soldiers from the selection.
Tang Tuanlian thought of a trick and asked Xue Chongxun to go to the school grounds to watch the soldiers.
There is an open space in the south of Luoyang City, as big as three or four polo courts. Tang Tuanlian gathered more than a thousand soldiers from Hedong.He also asked people to erect a row of targets more than half a meter tall a hundred steps away.
Xue Chongxun was invited to ride a horse to the school to observe. Seeing this situation unknown, he turned around and asked: Tangtuanxuan, what are you doing?
Tang Chaoren, who was burly, said: This method was used by his grandfather. Once, he followed the Tang army to attack Tuyuhun. The emperor issued an order to send a cavalry to the hinterland of the enemy to harass the enemy. This battle is very dangerous.In order to select a warrior who was ready to die, my grandfather asked someone to stand under the target and let the sharpshooter shoot arrows at the target. If the person under the target did not dodge, he would be selected... This method was very effective. In the end, my grandfather led the cavalry to advance straight in, invincible. After the battle, the emperor rewarded him and promoted him to the third level!
Xue Chongxun was overjoyed when he heard this and nodded: This method is very wonderful, at least the person who was selected has quite a courage.
But at this time, Tang Chaoren said with concern: We do this, only to fear that the civil servants in the Eastern Capital wrote a letter to slander Xue Lang and had ulterior motives... He looked around and said in a low voice that these people were all from our Hedong. Bao Cheng and Zhang Wulang and other three brigade commanders were either their own people or old friends in Hedong, and the military expenditure was raised by Xue Lang... In this way, the forces of these three brigades were completely in Xue Lang's hand!The prince's men wanted to intervene.
After hearing this, Xue Chongxun felt silent for a moment, frowned and said in a deep voice: If you are always afraid of your hands, what can you do?Just do what you said!Don't worry about the censors, I have my own way to deal with it then.
Tang Chaoren clasped his fists and said: I have nothing to worry about when I have a husband.
After saying that, he rushed forward, ran past the front of the queue, and said loudly: Selecting warriors to clear the bandits is a mule or a horse, you can tell!The team is following the order and test the arrows according to the order. Those who are afraid can withdraw.
After shouting, Tang Chaoren rushed to the target, jumped off the horse, stood under an arrow target, waved his hand and shouted: Zhang Wulang, test the target!
I saw a young general with a knife-cut face riding his horse out of the queue. It was Zhang Jiawulang who had begun to follow Xue Chongxun last time at the pillar of the third gate of the Yellow River. The famous scholar Zhang Jiuling was also his relative.
Zhang Wulang grabbed the horse's belly and the war horse under his seat ran away. He pulled the bow and arrow on the horse, lowered his body, and pulled the bow string like a full moon. He had almost no moment of hesitation. He could only hear a powerful string sound, and the arrow feather flew towards Tang Chaoren, hitting the bull's eye, and passing through the middle.
What an arrow!Seeing Zhang Wulang's body was elegant, skillful, accurate and fast, the generals immediately praised him at the same time.
Tang Chaoren let out a sigh and laughed: I am the first to test the arrow, pass the test!From then on, I will also serve as the captain of the Third Brigade.
He laughed and grabbed his mount, turned over to the horse, and ordered the others to select soldiers in the order of teams.
At this time, dozens of carefully selected sharpshooters on the other end of the school ground were lined up, each with quiver pots and tilted the strings. First, they faced the ground and prepared to shoot the target.
All the sharpshooters were selected. If you shoot a target a few dozen steps away, it would be impossible to shoot a target outrageously on someone's head...
But when you see someone pointing at him with a bow and arrow, you can imagine the psychological pressure. Most people can't help but bow their heads and dodge when they are in battle, and some people are even more exaggerated and simply fall to the ground in fear.
However, since these soldiers come to eat the food of hard work, there are still many brave people who are not afraid of death. Among each fire (ten people), half of them will not hide, and at least two or three people.
Once you choose this, stop choosing three hundred people and then register.
After only half an hour of busyness, even if this matter is done, the generals are indeed more straightforward and refreshing than civil servants, and there is not so much red tape.
At this time, Tang Chaoren slapped his forehead and said: Forgot one thing, should Xue Lang choose a name for these three brigade warriors?
With this reminder, Xue Chongxun thought that it is indeed more powerful to choose a name, but what is the best choice...
Xue Family Army?
Isn’t that intentionally trying to make the center beware of it? Hu Ben?
Even more nonsense, that is a name that only the palace guards dare to use. If you take such a name, an official will immediately write a letter saying that Xue Chongxun wants to be the emperor and wants to rebel!
At this moment, he suddenly remembered an interesting name and blurted out: It's called Feihu...Tong.
According to the usual system of the Tang army, two brigades on the left and right are in a regiment, and three brigades are organized into a regiment. Although it is inappropriate, it is not impossible for him to do this.
Xue Chongxun has been a famous scholar who taught to read and read since he was a child. He gave him a name, but Tang Chaoren didn't think about it, and immediately shouted: The name given by Xue Lang, the Flying Tiger Group, the brothers remembered their own names!
The soldiers laughed and started making a fuss for a while, thinking that the name was quite exciting. The flying tiger should be a great thing!
……
But they soon had trouble. As expected, an official immediately wrote a letter to impeach Xue Chongxun.
If other Beijing officials go down to do business and temporarily hire hundreds of people to suppress bandits, it will not attract people's attention; however, Xue Chongxun's identity is special and many people are staring at him, so he can't take any abnormal actions.
Prince Li Longji was also very angry. I missed him the prince, and there were only three or four hundred cavalrymen in his personal guards. So Xue Chongxun was considered a stalk that he had privately pulled up 300 private soldiers. This was beyond the system!It's a rebellion!
Some upright people even called on the Xue family to cultivate dead soldiers, and had ulterior motives, so they should remove their titles to warn others. Princess Taiping was happy that her son was making trouble, so she instructed the bureaucrats in the court to find many reasons for Xue Chongxun, which was a little bit unreasonable.
Li Dan was also wondering what Xue Chongxun was doing, but can 300 people rebel?
He was calm and still asked Taiping first...Sanlang for no reason, and then adopted a moderate approach: this group of people can only be used for local defense and bandit suppression, and they must not enter Beijing at any time; they must not be equipped with armor or weapons, otherwise they will be treated as a rebellious person according to the law.
After receiving the Ministry of War's consultation, Xue Chongxun naturally did not dare to hide armored soldiers, so he had to ask the craftsmen to weave armor with hard bamboo and old rattan, which was better than nothing, and then equipped with a horizontal knife.
Modao was a control weapon in the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't care much about the horizontal sword.The soldiers of the palace brought their own short weapons, and they found blacksmiths to forge horizontal swords, while the country only sent long weapons such as swords, spears, etc.
So the Flying Tiger Group formed by Xue Chongxun looked so funny. She was wearing bamboo, a hat on her head (the helmet was also a controlled armor soldier), and a scabbard on her waist...
At first glance, it looks like the natives in Jiannan. Fortunately, each person is equipped with six mules and horses, which is a bit related to the elite.
The advantage is that each of them is as light as a mansion, not like an ordinary mansion soldier, and he bears at least dozens of kilograms of weight during combat.
This was Xue Chongxun's first force. He valued it very much, so he raised good fish and meat and urged Tang Chaoren to train every day.
He did not mention push-ups and other methods, because Tang Chaoren came from a military general family and had his own training methods, so Xue Chongxun did not have to direct his orders to do anything.
Bai Qimei did not go with Xue Chongxun. When he was parting, he couldn't help but feel reluctant to leave. After all, he had been together for a long time...
He tried to guess Bai Qimei's thoughts, but in the end he couldn't guess it thoroughly.
