Chapter 145: Tang Blade
The rebellion in the first year of Zhenguan happened so quietly and came to an end in such an instant.
The shouting and killing in the city did not last long, and it was less than a day's work. The black-and-blue masonry of the city walls, and the bloodstains on Suzaku Street, were no longer visible by the next morning. When he saw that Wu Hou, who was patrolling the streets of Jin Wuwei on the left and right, appeared on the street as usual, he had already seen this situation more than once, and the people of Chang'an City, who were experienced in this regard, knew that the matter had passed, so they began to appear on the street in front of the door unaffected.
No one can stop the joy of the New Year.
The servants kowtow to their masters, and the juniors salute the elders, saying greetings such as "Blessing extends the new day, celebrates the longevity without borders", "Blessing is new, longevity is extended", and then they go out of the door together, and the neighbors visit each other, one by one. Tang people like to socialize, love to be lively, on the first day of the first month, every household in Chang'an City has a banquet, regardless of whether the family is poor or rich, the difference is the difference in content, but this banquet will not be missing. Neighbors greet each other for the New Year, go to whoever goes to eat to whom's house, the neighborhood eats from door to door, and greets the New Year from door to door, which also has a special name, called "Chuanza".
The rebellion in the capital was suppressed on Chinese New Year's Eve. The rebels in Lizhou, under the siege of soldiers and horses in the five states, were exhausted and could not hold out for a few days.
The eldest grandson Anye, Liu Deyu, Yuan Hongshan, and other people related to this matter have all been locked up now, and Li Xiaochang is also inside, what kind of expression will it be now, Xia Hongsheng doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know. At the moment, he just wants to hurry back to the Jingyang fiefdom and spend the New Year at home.
However, this wish is still somewhat difficult to achieve. Because just when Xia Hongsheng was about to leave, he happened to see the palace guards coming on horseback.
"It's good to catch up. Xia Duwei, Your Majesty ordered Xia Duwei to enter the palace immediately! The palace guard stopped in front of Xia Hongsheng, turned over and dismounted, and then said with a fist.
Xia Hongsheng looked at the carriage in front of him speechlessly. sighed secretly, I still have to work overtime on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I don't know if Li Lao Er will give three times the overtime pay.
He could only order the carriage to pull back again, and Xia Hongsheng hurriedly followed the guards to the palace.
In front of Suzaku Gate. Fan Xingzheng was personally on the top of the city tower, and when he saw Xia Hongsheng from a distance, he came down from the city gate, and when Xia Hongsheng came over, he smiled and said, "Xia Duwei." The people sent by Xia Duwei yesterday were really surprising, and if there was no person sent by Xia Duwei yesterday, they would have to fight hard. I haven't thanked Xia Duwei yet, hahahaha......"
Xia Hongsheng smiled and replied: "The general thanked me for what I did, the person was sent by His Majesty, and the last general only conveyed His Majesty's will in the middle, where did he dare to be the general's thanks!" ”
Fan Xing narrowed his eyes and laughed, and secretly said in his heart that although this person is young, he is cautious in his heart. This time I have made a lot of contributions, and even if I secretly decide in my heart, I should make more friends with him in the future.
Xia Hongsheng said goodbye to Fan Xing and followed the guards into the palace.
Straight into the Taiji Palace, to the apse, after entering, Xia Hongsheng was stunned, and saw that there were already a room of people standing, and the left and right were all bigwigs who were deeply trusted by Li Shimin. After Xia Hongsheng met Li Shimin, he consciously walked to the end and stood silently. Every time this kind of occasion Xia Hongsheng feels a little awkward, the room is full of old hooligans with cultural relics who have fought the world with Li Laoer. is mixed in with his own juniors, these are all people who Li Shimin trusts, but Xia Hongsheng knows that he is far from reaching the status of such bigwigs in Li Shimin's heart, so he stands here for himself. Xia Hongsheng felt a lot of pressure.
"Okay, Xia Qing has also arrived, if you have any questions, just go and ask Xia Qing directly." As soon as Xia Hongsheng stood still, he heard Li Laoer's words, and he was stunned.
Immediately, I saw Cheng Biting Jin jumping out. The voice rolled in, and he asked, "Kid of the Xia family, tell you Uncle Cheng, how did the Datang Blade train?!" Well, you and the old man's children get along very well, I think it shouldn't be too difficult for the old man to ask you how many you want to go, right? ”
Xia Hongsheng choked, uh, this old guy is so blatantly digging the corner of Li Laoer's wall in front of Li Laoer!
Raising his eyes to see, he saw Li Lao Er staring at him with a dark face, but Cheng Yanjin was still ashamed, walked up to Xia Hongsheng and slapped Xia Hongsheng's shoulder with a very intimate look, and immediately slapped Xia Hongsheng's feet soft, half of his body was numb, and he almost climbed to the ground.
"This and this...... Datang Dao Feng is one of the elite soldiers in the army, the elite of the elite who survived after undergoing inhuman training, and a total of ten people were selected from the eight hundred army at the end of the general, and the remaining twenty people were selected by General Duan from his elite soldiers...... There are only 30 people in total! Xia Hongsheng straddled half of his body and hurriedly explained to Cheng Yanjin: "If General Cheng wants to, he should ask His Majesty's consent, but the last general will never dare to overstep his authority." ”
Li Lao Er was looking at how Xia Hongsheng wanted to explain it, but suddenly heard Xia Hongsheng kick the ball back again, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Hear it, Fang Caier and the others are all struggling to ask me important people, now I know it, the total has only trained thirty people." ”
"Hehe, Cheng Zhijie didn't make it clear, Xia Xian's nephew......" Another voice came, hearing such a title, the hairs on Xia Hongsheng's body stood up, and the alarm bell suddenly sounded in his heart.
Turning his head over, he saw Li Shixuan rubbing the short layer of beard under his chin and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the virtuous nephew has misunderstood our group of uncles, we just want to borrow a few people from the virtuous nephew to train the soldiers in the army according to the method of the virtuous nephew, and also make such a group - called Shizi - oh yes, special combat members!" ”
What do you mean by "these uncles"? Xia Hongsheng's eyes were stunned, and he looked at Li Lao Er for help, but he almost scolded a foul word. After Li Lao Er saw Xia Hongsheng's eyes as if he was asking for help, he turned his face away with a little embarrassment, and looked up at the roof!
Xia Hongsheng was suddenly angry, pretending to look around at the scenery? Ya actually has a special evasion technique!
I understand, it must be that after these bigwigs saw the ability of the Datang Blade Special Combat Team yesterday, they were all greedy, and today they all came to the opportunity to ask Li Lao Er for his meritorious counterinsurgency. Li Lao Er didn't want to give it, and it was not good to refuse directly, and he couldn't help being entangled by these big guys, so he recruited himself as a shield!
Which of these ancient emperors had the mind of Li Lao Er, and could be forced by his subordinates to pretend to look around the scenery? No wonder Wei Zheng can suffocate Li Laoer's bird!
Xia Hongsheng's eyes turned around a few times, and he hurriedly said: "A few uncles don't know, these special combat soldiers, their training has not been completely completed?" In terms of physical skills, they are qualified, but when it comes to training others as instructors, they are still a little short. To put it simply, they don't have enough knowledge! ”
"Don't fuck me here, lie to the old man here, believe it or not, the old man will take off your pants and spank you now?!" Cheng Biting Jin's face that was still smiling suddenly darkened: "Yesterday, the old man saw with his own eyes the ability of those people, if these thirty people come together to deal with the old man, I'm afraid the old man will not retreat." Elite soldiers, it's enough to know how to kill people on the battlefield, what else do you have to learn?! ”
"Uncle Cheng, don't be annoyed, wait for the little nephew to explain to the uncle!" Xia Hongsheng hurriedly saluted and explained: "Training other people is not the same as performing tasks by themselves, they must know how to make their students master the skills as quickly as possible, how to attract their students, understand what the students think, and ensure that their students are absolutely loyal to Datang...... They don't know these yet, mastering it themselves is a skill, but teaching others and letting others know is another skill. Those thirty don't have that kind of ability yet. When they know how to teach and train others, they can become a qualified instructor. ”
"Instructor?" Everyone looked dazed, and even Li Laoer, who was "looking around at the scenery", looked at Xia Hongsheng.
"Well, the so-called instructor is the name of the officer who serves as an instructor in the army and is responsible for training non-commissioned officers." Xia Hongsheng hurriedly explained: "It's like reading people are literati, but not all literati are good at teaching. Although these special combat personnel are very capable, if they are allowed to teach and train others, they still lack some necessary abilities. In addition, it is necessary for Weichen to play! ”
Li Shimin was stunned: "Speak!" ”
Xia Hongsheng bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, now Your Majesty has also seen the abilities of these special forces with your own eyes. We should be well aware of the importance of these special combat personnel. In the future, Datang's special combat team will definitely not stop at just thirty people. If it is formed, how powerful this special army will be, His Majesty already knows in his heart. In view of this, Weichen suggested that in the future, the special forces must be controlled by His Majesty personally, and no one can use this special forces without His Majesty's personal order. ”
Li Shimin's eyes froze, and a pair of eyes flashed with a fine light in an instant.
"Your Majesty, what Xia Duwei said is very right, and the minister seconded it!" The eldest grandson Wuji took the lead in standing up and bowed to Li Shimin and said.
Du Ruhui also stood up: "The minister thinks what Xia Duwei said is extremely true, please ask Your Majesty to take back the right to control the special army." ”
"The minister also seconded the proposal." Li Jing also nodded and said.
Soon, everyone in the room agreed.
Li Shimin glanced around everyone, and then said with a smile: "Everyone Aiqing is too careful. I believe in you, don't you understand my intentions? ”
"Your Majesty, the ministers are deeply trusted by Your Majesty, and they will definitely not think anything wrong. But Your Majesty, there are hundreds of civil and military officials, and there are many ministers......" Eldest Sun Wuji said again.
Li Shimin was silent for a while, and then said, "What you said is also true. Even so, the special forces, if Wu Zhen personally decrees and authorizes it, no one can use it, even if it is the crown prince, he does not have this power! In addition, Xia Qing, I give you the right to select among the sixteen guards, Qing can select elite soldiers among the sixteen guards for training, and be sure to expand the special operations army to a thousand people among the sixteen guards!
