Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Northern Army
"Where do you want to go?" Liu Jin sat in the carriage and was puzzled.
In this Chang'an city, Jiuqing has a division yamen and thousands of officials.
But Zhang Yue took him straight to the outside of the city, could there be any relics outside the city?
"Northern Army!" Zhang Yue replied with a smile: "If you want to govern an army, the first thing is to affirm military law and educate soldiers, and if you want to govern a county, the same is true!" ”
"The minister heard that the protector of the Northern Army made Ren Anzhi have a way, and he wants to recruit a few defenders from his army to serve as the official of the Xuanming Law!"
But in fact, Zhang Yue's goal has long been clear!
Go to the Northern Army, his goal is only one person!
A little man who will surely go down in history!
After half an hour of bumps, the car drove to the thorny gate outside the Tianmen of Chang'an.
This is where the northern army camp of the Han Empire is located.
Before the current pro-government, the central part of the empire was divided into two armies, the north and the south.
Among them, the southern army is responsible for Weiyang Palace, and the northern army is responsible for Changle Palace.
This is also the origin of their names - Changle Palace is in the north of Chang'an City, and Weiyang Palace is in the south of Chang'an City.
But now after taking power, let the northern army annex the southern army.
The state no longer has a Yugoslav army establishment.
The Northern Army thus became the only Janissary Guard of the Central Committee of the country.
There is a historical reason for this.
It's not just because the Southern Army once stood on the wrong side when the princes and ministers were on the wrong side when they were co-ordinating the Lu clan.
What's more, when the Jianyuan New Deal went bankrupt, they were on the wrong side again - the generals of the Southern Army obeyed Dou's orders and participated in the task of arresting and executing the ministers who presided over the New Deal.
As soon as the Empress Dowager died, how could the pro-government today tolerate these guys who have repeatedly stood on the wrong side?
didn't kill their whole family, it was already the emperor's grace.
But the number of the Southern Army is impossible to give anymore.
As a result, the Northern Army became the country's only loyal and reliable Banshang Forbidden Army.
After a century of development, the establishment and scale of the Northern Army have continued to expand.
At the beginning of the country, the entire Northern Army was only 12,000 people.
But now......
This huge central forbidden army not only has a huge 22nd Palace Gate Captain Sima Department under its jurisdiction.
Seven field cavalry units were also expanded.
It is divided into middle base, shooting, tiger ben, long water, infantry, Hu cavalry, and Yue cavalry.
Its garrison points are distributed throughout the pass.
The total number of troops is almost tens of thousands!
In order to master this army, and to make sure that it is absolutely reliable.
In addition to the Jiuqing of Wei Wei, the post of military envoy was added to the post of military envoy today, acting as the military judge of the entire Northern Army, and in charge of promotion, evaluation, reward and punishment.
As a result, the actual power of the Northern Army fell into the hands of the envoys.
Wei Weiqing was left with the duties of patrolling the palace gate and ensuring security.
The camp of the Northern Army outside Jitianmen was originally the garrison of the Thornmen Army, but ...... The Thornmen Army was on the wrong side and was cut like the Southern Army.
When they arrived at the gate of the barracks, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin stepped out of the carriage and looked up to see a black dragon flag flying high above the barracks.
In the barracks, the shouts of killing were deafening.
The air was filled with an atmosphere of slaughter.
This made Liu Jin a little uncomfortable.
This was the first time he came to the camp of the Northern Army, and the first time he smelled the barracks.
Dust was flying everywhere, the air was filled with the smell of sweat, and countless noisy sounds were heard in the ears.
If in the past, the teachers around him would definitely tell him: Your Highness, martial artists are vulgar and should not be approached.
However, now it is Zhang Yue who is by his side.
I saw this waiter take a deep breath of air, and then showed a look of intoxication.
"What do you smell?" Liu Jin was a little curious.
"The taste of the Great Wall ......," Zhang Yue replied with a smile: "As long as this smell does not dissipate for a day, Yidi will not want to step into the Great Wall for half a step!" ”
Now, it is the height of summer, and the sun is shining.
But the officers and men of the Northern Army are still training hard.
With such an army, it is impossible for Yidi Hu to ride half a step into the Great Wall.
So, although the smell in the air is really bad.
But Zhang Yue was like smelling sweet honey.
Since ancient times, as long as the central army maintains a strong combat effectiveness, then the unified central empire can crush and sanction any small and small at will.
Why did the Anshi Rebellion turn the Tang Empire from prosperity to decline?
The answer is that after the Anshi Rebellion, everyone saw that the forbidden army of the Tang Dynasty, which was once extremely powerful and overwhelmed the world, was weaker than paper.
In the feudal era, the central forbidden army was the needle of the sea god and the backbone.
As soon as the forbidden army rots, the country will decline.
On the contrary, as long as the Central Forbidden Army is strong, let alone Yidi, even the powerful careerists in the country can only lie obediently on their stomachs and be killed.
And the soldiers of the Northern Army, in the past hundred years, the rebellion of the princes and kings of the internal peace, and the destruction of the country of Yidi.
What's even more terrifying is ......
This army, as long as they are given a certain amount of time, they can quickly swell into an army that is several times or even dozens of times.
Liu Jin listened to Zhang Yue's words and nodded thoughtfully.
Surrounded by their entourage, the two walked towards the gate of the barracks.
Soon they were spotted by the guards guarding the gate, and an officer immediately greeted them and asked, "Who are you, and why are you approaching the forbidden army camp?" ”
Zhang Yue hurriedly stepped forward, took out his seal and name thorn, and said: "Zhang Zizhong, the leader of Xinfeng, asks to see Ren Gong, the protector of the Northern Army, please pass it on your behalf!" ”
Ren An is also the reason why Zhang Yue chose the Northern Army camp as his first stop to search for talents.
It's a relationship!
It is also a kind of sophistication of human feelings, and it is also a temptation to establish power.
As the protector of the Northern Army, Ren An's status is no lower than that of any Jiuqing!
In fact, he can even be regarded as one of the absolute henchmen of today.
In the disaster of the Witch Gu, Ren An was dizzy and chose to ride the wall.
Well, no matter which side he is on.
He was an absolute winner.
The officer took the famous thorn, then looked at Zhang Yue, looked at him, and was a little puzzled, but still said: "Please wait, the last general will go to pass it on first!" ”
"It's hard work!" Zhang Yue smiled and bowed.
…………
In the big tent of the Chinese army of the Northern Army, Ren Anzheng, the envoy of the army, is discussing with the generals about the Northern Army drill scheduled for the later part of this month.
The Han army has a fixed drill task from the beginning of the county soldiers.
The county guards of the border often mobilize and organize the county soldiers and militia in the winter to hold large-scale performances.
Armies often urgently maneuvered for hundreds of miles, crossing counties and counties, and blazing in flames.
As the Central Army, the Northern Army has to carry out a show every quarter, and every year it has to hold a large-scale drill on an all-army scale.
These drills should be used to test the combat effectiveness and combat quality of the armed forces.
To ensure the absolute reliability of the Northern Army units in the event of war.
When discussing where to choose the location of the exercise, there was a report from the soldiers outside the tent: "General, outside the barracks, there are people who claim to be 'serving in the middle of the Xinfeng Order Zhang Yi' to submit a letter of worship asking to see the general...... I wonder if the lord wants to see it? ”
When Ren An heard this, he was first overjoyed, and immediately said, "Hurry up, please enter the account!" ”
This is a big celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven.
It's his old son!
Originally, he was still thinking about how to connect with others!
Now it's good!
