The Golden Age Chapter 888: Lion speaks

In the Yamen of the Ministry of War, Dou Yan was holding Qin Xiao's hand enthusiastically, and asked warmly.

"When you were transferred to Dali Temple, I said that no matter where you go, the Ministry of Defense will treat you as your own family." Dou Wei was kind and amiable, and smiled and said: "You have been removed from office. Many people are I thought that your career path would be cut off, but I knew very well in my heart that the saint is the most wise and wise man in the ages, and Lord Qin is such a talented person. It is impossible for a saint to abandon it. Hey, it seems that I still have the foresight, you see, The Bohai Mission has just left for a few days, won’t the Saints reopen?"

Qin Xiao knows this military chief too well, and is a true duplicity.

Fan Wenzheng, the predecessor of the Ministry of War, was sent to the guillotine because of a fatal blow from his heart. This Dou Butang, just listen to it, if you take it seriously, you don’t know how life will be lost. How did it die.

"The lower officials have always kept in mind the care of Mr. Butang, and regard Butang as his elder." Qin Xiao dealt with this set easily, and said with a smile: "Because of this, even though it's an errand today, , But mainly to visit the ministry."

"Okay, okay." Dou Yan said with a smile: "Come on, sit down first, I don't care about other things today, I will do it for you myself." Loudly shouted outside the door: "Master Deng pays it back Didn't you come here?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of rapid footsteps outside, and then he saw the military minister Deng Taichu hurriedly entering, holding the seal box in his hand, and then bowed to Dou Yan, saying: "Butang, Da Yinna Coming."

Dou Fan stepped forward to take the seal box, and personally sent it to Qin Xiao, saying: "This is the general seal of Zhongwu Zhonglang. You should collect it first. Sir, after the establishment of the Great Tang, you will be able to be less than 20 years old. Few people have been promoted to the position of Shaoqing. Those who can be awarded the post of Zhongwu Zhonglang are also rare. A sage knows people with his eyes. Don’t disappoint the expectations of the sage and the court."

"The next official will do his best!" Qin Xiao got up to take the seal, and thanked him respectfully: "I will rely on Lord Butang and Lord Shilang to take care of me in the future."

Dou Wei smiled and said: "It is better to take care of a sage than anyone else." He motioned to Qin Xiao to sit down, and Deng Taichu also sat down there. Dou Wei smiled and said, "What else do you need help from the Ministry of War." As far as possible, you can bring up the matter to be resolved, and we will handle it for you as soon as possible."

Qin Xiao put the seal box away, and said: "Butang, Lord Servant, there are indeed some troubles. When I saw the saint, the lower officials also asked the saint. This trip to the northeast, I hope to pick a group of people. Follow along. Although the saint’s favor and ordered the officer to go to the northeast for military training, the officer is very knowledgeable and does not have any training experience. In order to live up to the expectations of the saint and the court, he can only choose some people who are good at training to assist."

"Of course." Dou Yan smiled and said: "In fact, the training of troops in the Northeast is a major event. The saint has given us a will a few days ago. Originally, we wanted to select a group of brave and proficient military strategists to accompany the knight. The Lord will go, but if Ferguson himself has a better candidate, then it will be better. The saint decrees that Ferguson will take charge of military training in the Northeast, so the Ministry of War will not interfere too much and will only try to cooperate."

Qin Xiao took out a letter from his arms and presented it to Dou Fu. After Dou Fu took it, he took a closer look. The smile on his face narrowed, and he frowned slightly, "The loyal army?"

"This is the bugle bestowed by the princess in Jiangnan." Qin Xiao smiled and said:

"Because of the special circumstances at the time, I did not explain to the Ministry of War in advance. The Loyalty Army had 5,000 soldiers, of which 2,000 were stationed in Suzhou, and the remaining 3,000 were escorted into Beijing this time. They are currently stationed in Liuhe County. These people are all meritorious soldiers who have put down the Suzhou Rebellion. They are brave and good at fighting. This time they went to the northeast to train, and the lower officials wanted to use this soldier and horse as a basis to formally put them under the banner of the Long Rui Army."

Dou Fan nodded slightly and looked at Wen Han and said: "Gu Baiyi, Yu Wen Chengchao, Yu Wen Huaiqian...!" He raised his head and glanced at Qin Xiao. Without saying anything, he continued reading: "Fei Xin... Jiang Xiaochun...!" looked up again, wondering: "Who is this Jiang Xiaochun?"

"Return to the Ministry, this person is the guard commander of the Jiangnan Neiku." Qin Xiaodao: "However, Jiangnan will establish a Duhufu, and the Jiangnan Neiku may be abandoned. Even if it is retained, other soldiers and horses can be deployed to guard. Saint. The aim is to train soldiers and horses in the northeast that have always been mainly cavalry. This requires generals who are good at training cavalry. The lower officer thinks that Jiang Xiaochun should be suitable for this task, so the Ministry of Defense is asked to assign this person to the lower officer."

Qin Xiao said these words sincerely.

The purpose of training troops in the Northeast is to train an army that will be used to regain Xiling in the future. In the final analysis, it is to have a cavalry that can compete with the Wutuo cavalry.

He knew that Gu Baiyijun had passed others, and Yuwen Chengchao was also extraordinary bravely, but the two of them had almost no experience in training cavalry.

Although Yuwen's family had the existence of Baihuying, they were not trained by Yuwen Chengchao.

On the contrary, it was Jiang Xiaochun. The first person Qin Xiao thought of was Jiang Xiaochun when the saint sent him to train in the northeast.

Perhaps there are many outstanding cavalry generals in the DPRK, but in Qin Xiao's impression, Jiang Xiaochun is indeed an extremely outstanding cavalry general.

At the time Shuning City was besieged by the rebels, Jiang Xiaochun led only two hundred cavalry soldiers, and they smashed the rebels into an army. Not only did they kill many enemies, they almost killed the enemy generals directly, and their own losses were almost negligible. From this, it can be seen that Jiang Xiaochun does have an extraordinary place in the training and command of cavalry. Such a good general, Qin Xiao will naturally not miss it.

In addition, Jiang Xiaochun's background also made Qin Xiao very relieved.

Jiang Xiaochun is the direct line of Princess Musk Moon, and she is loyal to Princess Musk Moon. With the relationship between him and Musk Moon, Jiang Xiaochun will naturally try his best to help herself.

More importantly, Musk Moon is currently equivalent to being under house arrest by a saint. No matter whether it will be activated in the future, Musk Moon has difficulty protecting Jiang Xiaochun's men anymore.

Whether Jiangnan Neiku will still be retained, no one knows, but the saint has already taken away the power of Neiku from She Yue. Even if the Neiku continues to be used, the two hundred people of Jiang Xiaochun will not be able to be reused.

In addition to training soldiers in the northeast, the saint also set up a Duhu Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River to integrate the soldiers and horses of the previous three states into one. Qin Xiao was still thinking about how to purge the soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River, but now he has been transferred to the northeast. So I don't have to worry about it. As long as the Jiangnan family can supply military resources in a timely manner, how Jiangnan assembles the army has nothing to do with him.

Whether Jiang Xiaochun's group of people stayed in Jiangnan or transferred back to Kyoto, without the protection of the princess, their situation would certainly not be any better.

So he believes if Jiang Xiao

Chun received an order to transfer to the northeast, and he probably wouldn't refuse.

Dou Yan just nodded and didn't ask much. After reading it, he said, "It is not difficult for the people mentioned here to transfer to the northeast. But it is not difficult to transfer the loyal army to the northeast. Very easy to handle."

"What does Butang mean?"

"I know that these people have made military exploits when they put down the rebellion." Dou Yan said with a serious face: "But I also heard that before this, most of these people were rebels, and even among them, there were no It is rarely the remnant of Qingzhou wanted by the court. Sir, if the Long Ruijun uses these people as a team, will it develop and grow in the future, will the whole Long Ruijun be unstable? If the saint wants to train the Long Ruijun, it must be against the court. Be loyal, and don’t have the slightest dissent."

Qin Xiao said immediately: "Ministry, if the loyal army really wants to rebel against the court, it will be impossible to help the court at the most critical moment. If they work together with the rebels, what is the situation in Suzhou today is still unknown. They had already made a choice at that time, and the lower officials could guarantee them. In addition, if the imperial court incorporated them into the Long Rui army and became real soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they would definitely be grateful and grateful to the saint’s favor. The court will be more loyal."

"It makes sense." Dou Yan smiled and nodded: "But Sir Sir Sir has thought that there are 20,000 Liaodong troops stationed in the Northeast, and the 20,000 horses are deeply rooted in the Northeast. You suddenly brought thousands of people to the Northeast. , Will it arouse their hostility?"

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Ministry, if I just ran with dozens of people, without a single soldier, and everything started from scratch, wouldn't the Liaodong Army have any objection? With these thousands of people as the team, why There is hope for military training, otherwise it would be almost idiotic to rely on dozens of people to gain a foothold in the Northeast. Even if I brought thousands of people over, they would be hostile in their hearts. Would they really dare to show their swords to us? Northeast or Datang They are also the soldiers and horses of Datang, unless they really dare to rebel, otherwise they will only feel uneasy in their hearts."

"I can't promise you right away." Dou Yan said solemnly: "The matter is big, the generals you want to transfer, the Ministry of War can help you, but these thousands of people need to be told to the saints, and the saints decide "After a pause, he asked: "Fei Xin is an official of Dali Temple. Lord Ferguson is training troops. Why do I need Dali Temple officials to go there?"

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "I heard that banditry is rampant and the law is slack. Fei Xin knows the data of the Tang law well. If he is there, if anyone violates the national law, Master Fei will be able to try as soon as possible on behalf of Dali Temple. , You don’t have to travel all the way back and forth."

Dou Fan knows that Qin Xiaoding has deep meaning, but Qin Xiao went to the northeast to train soldiers is appointed by the saint, and he has already had a will to go to the Ministry of War, ordering everything to cooperate with Qin Xiao, Dou Yan dare not do anything with it. .

"Then, let's go back and wait for the news first. The Ministry of War will inform the saint first. After the saint's will comes down, he will notify you immediately." Dou Fan said: "Can there be other things?"

"In addition, the ministry will first allocate a batch of equipment." Qin Xiao took a list from his arms and submitted it: "The junior officer doesn't know much about weapons and equipment, and the writing is not very clear, but the first batch Probably the required quantities are on the above."

Dou Yan glanced, his face was a little ugly, and said: "My lord, you came up with it with a single stroke of your head? Not to mention the armored armor, there are five thousand war horses with your mouth open, this... Is this absurd?"
