Chapter 462
Li Jing nodded slightly, not much excited about the number of official positions that the imperial court had just granted him. It was because these were all honorary titles, which had little practical significance except for being nice. From the General of Jinwu to the General of the Left Guard, the Third-rank to the Second-rank, which seemed to be upgraded to the next level. However, since the collapse of the military system of the Mansion, the Sixteen Guards of the Tang Dynasty, except for the left and right Jinwu Guards and the left and right guards of the left and right prison guards, were retained in the capital, and the twelve Guards of the Imperial Palace, which had been in charge of the military service of Yu, had already been in name only.
After the Anshi Rebellion, the twelve guards were already famous and had no real names. The yamen was still in charge, but there were no soldiers. Those military positions were completely used as extra-official positions. During the Dezong period, in order to favor the heroes, one general was appointed to the former highest general of the Sixteen guards, and each was second-rank. Li Jing's original Jinwu general was an extra-official position, and now he got another general at the Zuo Xiaogu, which was just nice.
However, the promotion of the Wusan rank made Li Jing quite satisfied. The Wusan rank was somewhat similar to the military rank of the military generals. As the second-rank Wusan rank, the General of the Supplementary Kingdom was only one level lower than the most advanced general from the first-rank cavalry general. Basically, among the eight towns, Li Jing's Wusan rank is the most advanced.
What the commanders of the towns even more amazed and envied was Li Jing's title of the Secretariat of the Procuratorate. The Secretariat was the head of the tribe of the three provinces and the prime minister in the early Tang Dynasty. Later, the prime minister had to be the prime minister. However, under normal circumstances, the Secretariat would be the prime minister, and the position of the chief official of the province became the prime minister. Originally, the Secretariat was the third rank, but later promoted to the second rank. It can be said that in terms of the rank of the official official, the Secretariat of the second rank was already the top official in the Tang Dynasty, and the third division and three ministers of the first rank were only honored.
Li Jing is now in charge of the position of Shizhong, which is amazing. Although the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Secretariat, and the Tongping Zhangshi, who served as the vassal state, are all honorary titles. But now, there are a few people who can get such titles in the Tang Dynasty. Even Gao Pian, who is currently regarded as the first general, has just added the title of Shizhong.
According to convention, Li Jing will soon be able to get the connection between the two people.
After some celebration, Yu Cong proposed another important thing about this trip.
"Your Majesty is looking forward to the Taimiao prisoners and the triumphant army on the Zhuque Street. However, the Political Affairs Hall is a little worried. I wonder what you think of Zheng Shuai, Yu Shuai, Li Shuai?" Yu Cong said clearly. This victory in Daibei is a very exciting thing. At present, although the rebellion of Daibei Shatuo people is not as good as the Southern Barbarians of the Nanzhao Kingdom invaded Xichuan, although Gao Pian won several victories in Xichuan, he was the chief of the chief of the founding master of the Nanzhao Kingdom.
Since Long ascended the throne of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he fought against the Tang Dynasty for 16 years in 18 years. It can be said that the entire southern border has long been decayed. A temporary victory is not a real victory in the eyes of the officials of the Political Affairs Hall in Chang'an. No matter how hard he fought, no matter how powerful he was, the emperor Chief Long, who had already changed the Nanzhao Kingdom to the Dali Kingdom, will continue to invade the Tang Dynasty, and is completely a Southern barbarian who is not afraid of death.
Now there are rebellions in Tianping Army and Ziqing Town in Henan, and rebellions are also constantly occurring in eastern and western Zhejiang. Under such circumstances, the emperor who had just succeeded to the throne for more than a year really needs a complete victory to cheer up the ruthless people.
The quellation of the Beishatu rebellion in Dai is undoubtedly such a very suitable typical example.
However, this good thing is now covered with a shadow. Since Tian Lingzi assassinated Li Jing twice and almost caused a mutiny in Zhenguo Army, although the emperor asked to continue the activities of the court offering to He Triumphant into the city for parade, the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall were worried. What if the Zhenguo Army caused trouble in Chang'an City when the time comes?
Zheng Congxian and Yu Feng both turned to look at Li Jing. Li Jing sat upright and said solemnly: "If the Prime Minister Yu is worried about the military discipline of our soldiers of the Zhenguo Army, please rest assured. Although the Zhenguo Army is not as good as the ancient royal army, it can also be as good as a mountain of military orders, and can do nothing to make people laugh at."
After hearing Li Jing's promise, Yu Cong finally felt relieved.
The next day, Yu Cong came to Bashang again and announced to the generals that the emperor had already set the eighth day of the third lunar month, that is, two days later, the army entered from Mingde Gate, the middle gate of the south city of Chang'an City, and then followed Zhuque Street to welcome the people, and finally arrived at Zhuque Gate in the imperial city, where the emperor would personally receive the triumphant army. Then the Taimiao prisoners were offered and the Golden Palace rewarded.
To enter the city for parade, of course, we must show the mighty side of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. For this reason, as early as when Li Yan issued an order to let the triumphant army enter Chang'an, the Weiwei Temple, which was specifically responsible for weapons and equipment in the Tang Dynasty, had already joined forces with the Ministry of Revenue to build brand new battle robes for the soldiers who were being parade in the triumphant. However, the court was responsible for more than 30,000 sets of battle robes, and as for the soldiers' armor, weapons, and war horses, they had to be prepared by each town themselves.
In addition, there must be detailed regulations on how the troops and horses of each town are arranged, what formation, which army is in front and which town is behind. These troops have already formulated detailed plans, and now Yu Cong has brought them to the commanders of each town.
Since Li Jing had the largest army, it was finally decided that the first one to appear was Li Jing's two thousand cavalry, black flag army, then silver spear, white horse, and silver saddle three thousand guards, one black and one white, which would be an excellent shock effect. Then Li Jing led two officer guard battalions, followed by three infantry battalions. Then Yu Guan's Zhenwu Army, then Zheng Congqi's Hedong Army. Then there will be other generals, and the cavalry of five tribes. Finally, Li Jing's infantry escorted three thousand prisoners behind.
The battle robe made by the imperial court was also sent, but Li Jing was a little disdainful of these shoddy military robes. The Zhenguo Army had its own military uniforms. When they were in Hedong, each person had three sets of winter clothes, but they were divided into two sets for friendly troops. After the chaos was pacified, Li Jing did not ask Dengzhou to send winter clothes to Hedong, but asked them to send a new batch of spring clothes. Each person had three sets of clothes, socks, shoes and hats.
The military uniforms of the Black Flag Army were not red, but black. The three light cavalry guards did not use red, and all used white. The other soldiers were all fire red. To enter Chang'an City for parade, all the soldiers on Bashang were extremely excited.
Everyone carefully wiped the armor on their bodies. It was shiny and spotless. Li Jing also specially burned a lot of hot water and made hundreds of temporary bathroom tents for the soldiers to take a bath and wash their hair. The soldiers below also shaved each other's faces, repair their hair, and repair their beards.
Throughout the whole day, the entire army was busy washing and dressing up. Although the Tang Dynasty is no longer as strong as before, even the emperor's orders are very strong, our vassal states are not willing to obey it. However, no matter what, the Tang Dynasty, which has been more than 200 years, is still irreplaceable in the hearts of the people and soldiers of the world.
Wang Dong of Panshi Camp did not fall asleep all night last night and was so excited that he had insomnia. He is now the commander of the battalion. The commander was a newly changed title. It is said that there were already commanders in the Shence Army. Therefore, after the Battle of Daibei, some official positions of the Zhenguo Army had also changed a little.
Now the Zhenguo Army still implements the organization of gangs, teams, capitals, battalions, wings and troops. Five gangs are one team, two gangs are one capital, five gangs are one battalion, five gangs are one battalion, and two gangs are one army. After the new organization is implemented, Wang Dong has fewer soldiers now. In the past, there were twelve people in one gang, seventy people in one team, two hundred people in one battalion, and one gang has one thousand people.
But now, one group has 10 people, one team has 50 people, one battalion has 50 people, one battalion has 2,500 people, and one army has 5,000 people.
The leader of the troop is still the leader of the troop. However, the chief of the troop has been changed. It was originally the general of the capital, and now it is called command. The original ten generals above the capital were also changed to command commanders. The wing chief officer in the battalion was the military commander, and the military commander in charge was changed to the military commander of the Duzhi military commander.
According to the notice issued by the General Staff Office of the Military Department, the entire Zhenguo Army is now divided into five armies and five teeth, namely the front, back, left, center and right, with 5,000 troops each. There are also five yamen, front, back, left, and yamen. The five armies each have 5,000 troops, with a total of 25,000 troops, and the five yamen are also 5,000 people per yamen. After the entire reorganization, the Zhenguo Army has 5,000 troops. In addition to the 20,000 troops now in Chang'an, plus the 10,000 troops left by Dengzhou, the 8,000 troops from east Zhejiang to south, and the newly recruited troops, just the 5 army and five yamen. This does not include the 10,000 troops and horses led by Fu Wenda to return to southern Liaoning, and the 8,000 troops left by Youzhou.
Wang Dong felt the deepest about this change in the organization was that the division of the camp head was more and more detailed. Originally, there were only five wings in the entire Zhenguo Army, but now, there are twenty wings and nearly 20,000 troops in this organization. With more camp heads, the military power in the hands of the generals has become much smaller.
Wang Dong is now the commander of Panshi Camp. He was originally just a deputy ten general when he went to the battle, ranking fifth in the battalion. However, in Youzhou and Hedong, he performed well in several battles, and was finally promoted to the commander of the battalion.
However, after this parade, there must be a lot of promotions. He has heard that he is also on the promotion list of Sima who marched.
"Can't you sleep?" Wang Dong, who couldn't sleep, simply got up and inspected the camp. He found that the soldiers in each tent were talking quietly, and no one fell asleep.
"I thought I could see the emperor tomorrow, so I couldn't sleep. The eight generations of my family all farmed, but no one had ever been to the capital, let alone the emperor. What's more, we still have to be inspected by the emperor this time." A soldier lying in the tent said excitedly.
The other one was also excited and did not notice that the battalion commander had joined in at all. "You think, can we also be an official this time?"
"I am now a first-class sergeant commander. If I can get the Wusan rank, even if I am a member of the deputy commander Rong from the ninth rank, I will be promoted to the mate commander at that time."
"If I am promoted to the ranks of scattered ranks, if I am lucky, I might be able to become a deputy team member directly, and then I will become an official. This is something that my family has always dreamed of. My father has only been a clerk in his life, and maybe his son can become a captain in the future, haha! The smoke from my ancestral grave is coming out."
Old He, the only one in the group, who knew some words, was excited and punched the figure next to him: "Where are you, what do you think?"
When Wang Dong sat there, listening to the words of his soldiers, he couldn't help but remember when he was following Li Jing. He was punched twice by his subordinates. He just smiled and said, "Well, I am now the commander of the battalion. If I am lucky, I can be promoted to another level, and maybe I can become a Sima or an deputy soldier in the wing. In that way, I can be called a general."
When several big-headed soldiers from the Arctic heard this, they couldn't hold back their laughter, thinking that they wouldn't pay taxes. But when they got rid of the ridiculousness, they suddenly realized that the voice was both strange and familiar. Then they opened their eyes wide and found that Commander Wang had sat by their shop at some point.
