Tiantang Splendid

The ice and snow on the road trampled by iron hooves splashed snow foam all over the sky. A group of dozens of riders galloped into the military camp like a wind and cloud. They stopped right in front of the commander's tent. Fang Jun jumped off the horse, threw the reins to the soldiers, and walked in with a high head. Handsome account.

There was an earth dragon burning in the spacious handsome tent, and it was as warm as spring. A group of senior generals gathered together. When they saw Fang Jun walking in, they all stood up and clasped their fists, saying in unison: "I have seen the handsome man!"

Fang Jun paused, nodded and said, "Excuse me!"

Then he walked to the main seat and sat down, waved at everyone, and everyone took their seats one after another.

Cheng Wuting complained: "What the hell has the weather been like in the past two years? In the summer there are constant rains and frequent floods, and in the winter there are heavy snowfalls and freezing temperatures, even in Guanzhong. One can imagine how hard it is for the Western Regions and beyond the Great Wall. "

Gao Kan took a sip of hot tea, shook his head and said: "The Western Region is not bad. Although the road is far away and the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, fortunately there are Luntai, Shule, Khotan, Suiye and other cities stationed nearby, and the money, food and materials are quite abundant. . The Hanhai Protectorate is a truly bitter and cold place. The vast mountains, rivers, and Gobi desert, and a heavy snowfall that covers hundreds of miles of desolation, is truly a bitter experience."

Fang Jun also took a sip of hot tea, held the teacup in his hands to warm his hands, sighed, and said, "Since ancient times, it has been easy to conquer the world, but difficult to defend it. Le Shi Yanran, how happy was it back then? But now if you want to defend this vast area as the northern barrier and strategic buffer zone of the empire, you have to pay ten times or even a hundred times the price."

"There is not an extra inch of the empire's territory" is indeed very domineering to say, but if you want to do it, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. It requires countless Chinese men to crawl on the ice, lie on the snow, and stain the yellow sand with blood. I don't know how many wives, children, and parents are there. The hometown was eagerly waiting for it, but in the end it was a death notice and a box of ashes...

However, this sentence is extremely correct. Only by holding on to every inch of land on the border can we ensure that China is inviolable, that every mother can raise her children, and that every child can thrive.

When every Chinese descendant lives and works in peace and happiness in a prosperous city, there must be someone carrying the burden for them.

If you gain something, you will naturally lose something, and if you gain something, you must pay.

Feeling a little emotional, Fang Jun put down his teacup, knocked on the table to attract everyone's attention, and then said: "As a soldier, I should contribute to the country and defend the country. Even if you are wrapped in horse leather and buried in a foreign land, there is nothing to say. That's all. We are in Guanzhong, the most fertile land in the world, much luckier than those hard-working people in the frontier, so we should fulfill our duties to ensure the stability of the capital and the stability of Guanzhong. Whoever tries to overthrow the empire, They all have to step over our bodies!"

"Here!"

All the generals and schools under their command stood up together, and suddenly agreed.

In Fang Jun's army, he has always tried his best to downplay the influence of the commander-in-chief, not taking personal interests as the criterion, and even the word "emperor" is rarely heard in ordinary training. Everything is based on national interests and allegiance The target is the country, the nation, the people.

History has proven countless times that if an elite military is only loyal to a certain person or a certain force, the final outcome can only be a bleak end.On the contrary, if an army can put national interests and national justice first, the generals and soldiers will know that what they sacrifice themselves for is the interests of all people, including themselves, and they will naturally be full of faith and look forward to death.

Only in this way can we be invincible and invincible.

So what if the weapons are behind?

So what if one fights against many?

Done!

……

"Thanks to your sincere cooperation, the original guards on the left and right, as well as the soldiers drawn and recruited from various places, are basically on standby. The formation of the Jinwu Guard is going smoothly. According to the meaning of the Military Aircraft Department, the Jinwu Guard is also divided into sixteen guards. It is divided into two, the left and right Jinwu guards."

Fang Jun looked around at everyone and said slowly: "My commander-in-chief wants Cheng Wuting to serve as the general of Zuo Jinwu Guard to garrison here and assist in the security of Xuanwu Gate. Sun Renshi will serve as the general of Right Jinwu Guard to garrison the fifth bridge and be responsible for the Ming Dynasty." Demen is safe and relies on the hidden dangers in the west of Chang'an. Wang Fangyi serves as the guard of Xuanwu Gate, guarding the gate and guarding the forbidden palace together with the imperial army... If you have any opinions, you may wish to raise them now and let everyone brainstorm. If there are no opinions, just report them to us and wait. The Military Aircraft Department has approved it with His Majesty."

Everyone already knows that General Gao Kan served as General Youwei and led his troops to Jinling to station in the south of the Yangtze River to intimidate Jiangnan. However, under Gao Kan, among the former Youtun Guards, Cheng Wuting and Sun Renshi took the lead in terms of military merit and ability. This appointment is reasonable.

What's more, now Fang Jun not only keeps his word here, but also controls the military aircraft department. Therefore, no one can object to the appointments proposed by Fang Jun here, and it is impossible to reject them when he goes to the military aircraft department. They are basically the same. Nail it on the board.

"We have no objection!"

"The commander-in-chief is the master, and we will obey everything!"

"Haha, congratulations, General Cheng!"

"Congratulations, General Sun!"

"Congratulations, General Wang!"

As one of Fang Jun's closest associates, Cheng Wuting should have been on his own in terms of qualifications. However, due to various reasons, he has been stuck in the same position over the years without making a breakthrough. Now he is the general of Zuojin Wuwei, and he is well-deserved.

And Sun Renshi, as an "outsider" who surrendered, not only made many military exploits, but also was loyal to Fang Jun. Even when the situation was most passive, he never had the slightest betrayal, and everyone in the army was convinced.

Wang Fangyi is the youngest and has the lowest official rank, so this meeting can be regarded as the greatest improvement.

And Wang Fangyi was the one who was most excited. He didn't even think that he was just a small scout in Anxi's army, and he might be killed in the news investigation operation at some point, and now he would become the guard of Xuanwumen.

It seems to be just a city gate guard, but what kind of place is Xuanwu Gate?

The throat of the Forbidden Palace, the important place of the capital!
It can be said that one step into the ranks of senior officers in the Tang army, but in the past, even if one came from a famous family, it would take at least 20 years to reach this step.

"Willing to die for the commander in chief!"

Wang Fangyi's face was flushed, his expression was excited, and his tone was sonorous and decisive.

Fang Jun waved his hand with a smile, let everyone sit down, and said to Gao Kan: "It is a foregone conclusion that you will succeed General Youweiwei, and you will take up the post in the next year. Jinling has been a prosperous place since ancient times. Don't let your ambition be eroded by ease and pleasure. Xue Rengui will also be transferred. Commander of the Navy, you can keep in touch with him, strengthen ties, and use the power of the navy to control You Weiwei. I will be in charge of Chang'an. As long as there is no shortage of money, food and weapons, you must completely control You Weiwei. hands."

Gao Kan solemnly nodded: "I will definitely live up to the commander's expectations!"

He has self-knowledge, the disadvantage is that he lacks adaptability, and the advantage is that he is calm and experienced. It is impossible for him to build an army from scratch, but he is transferred to an army to control it, and there are Fang Jun and Xue Rengui's support behind him. If they can no longer wipe out the remaining forces in the Youwei Guard, they will have no shame in returning to Chang'an.

Fang Jun looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is enthroned, and all kinds of new policies will inevitably be implemented. It will inevitably touch some vested interests, and the opposition can be imagined. What we have to do is to maintain the stability of the relationship and ensure Chang'an. Jing, escort His Majesty's New Deal."

"Don't worry, Marshal, we will fight wherever you point, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, we will die!"

"The city of Chang'an must be guarded like an iron barrel. It is absolutely impossible for the rebellious officials and thieves to overthrow the imperial power!"

Everyone expressed their loyalty, and the atmosphere in the handsome tent was warm.

Fang Jun suddenly remembered something and asked, "Who is familiar with Helan Chushi?"

Everyone was at a loss, Cheng Wuting said: "The last general has met with him a few times, but he has never had any contact with him. It seems that this person has some relatives with the general... I don't know why you asked him?"

His family's ancestral home is Mingzhou, and he was also born in Mingzhou, but in the fourth year of Wude, his father Cheng Mingzhen betrayed Dou Jiande and went to Datang, so he was sent to live in Chang'an as a hostage, and he became acquainted with many children of the Guanlongmen Clan.

And he knew that Fang Jun's concubine, Wu Meiniang, had an older sister who married into the Helan family, and her husband and Helan Chushi were cousins...

Fang Jun nodded and said, "Let's talk about this later."

Then they discussed some matters such as army reorganization, soldier training and so on. Seeing that it was noon, everyone left one after another.

Fang Jun left Cheng Wuting behind and asked him to prepare two side dishes and a pot of steamed buns, and they ate together in the handsome tent.

Alcohol was not allowed in the barracks, so the two ate quickly, and after the meal the dishes were removed, and a pot of fragrant tea was brought to them by the soldiers, and the two drank tea and chatted.

"Later I will go to the Ministry of War to write a letter to transfer Helan Chushi to Zuojin Wuwei to serve as your deputy general. However, I know nothing about this person's military qualities, so do not arrange for him to lead troops or train, and he may not be willing to accept that. If you are tired, let him temporarily take care of vegetables, grains and oils before buying."

Fang Jun took a sip of tea and explained this.

Naturally, Cheng Wu didn't say anything else. Since he knew that Helan Chushi was the relative of Wu Meiniang's sister, and he had always heard about the "good reputation" of his own commander-in-chief, he thought that Helan Chushi must have gone through Wu Shunniang's side, so he was transferred to the left. Jin Wuwei.

The Zuo Jinwu Guard has just formed an army, with a number of about [-], which is considered the first-class guard among the sixteen guards, and the food, oil, and vegetables that such a large number of people usually need are a huge number, even if they don’t need to be greedy, they can be manipulated. There is also a lot of leeway, it can be said that it is a first-class fat gap...

"Don't worry, Marshal, relatives of the Wu family, the last general will definitely take good care of them."

Cheng Wuting said that he already understood Fang Jun's intentions and would definitely take good care of this relative of the Wu family and not make it difficult for the commander in front of Wu Shunniang.

Fang Jun rolled his eyes angrily: "I want you to take good care of him, and take care of him anytime and anywhere. Make sure his current accounts are clear and clear, so that if he is exposed, he can be beaten to death with a stick!"

Cheng Wuting: "..."
