After a few words, the words Xu Yi had originally prepared were useless.

I don’t know if the saint is too proud or too proud. I just let Xu Yi lead the new army with confidence, or the firearms branch!

Actually, it is true that in the saint's view, the two thousand new troops, even with these gunpowder bullets and so-called muskets, would really not cause any big waves.

But in Xu Yi's view, only these two thousand new troops will be the spark of the entire Great Storm dynasty in the future... The king is wise, but the times limit his imagination.

"Brother Yi, I'm a little too anxious. I understand your approach, but I'm still a little anxious."

"Why, why?"

"Do you know that the imperial court's military system is now a collapsed reality?"

"Boy has heard of it."

"In fact, for the 16 Guards in Chang'an, 30% of the vacancies are considered normal, and half are old, weak, sick and disabled. The generals are responsible for military pay and deceive the saints. As the saint said, if you are allowed to select soldiers in the 16 Guards, how many useful military soldiers can you choose?"

"This is not Longyou, and the soldiers are not the style of Longyou soldiers you see. This is Chang'an, the entire Chang'an military camp, even I am helpless and unintentional."

"The elite soldiers and generals who once guarded the Sixteen Guards of Chang'an have only left their names. Now it is a recruiting system. The recruitment quota of the entire Chang'an Sixteen Guards is sufficient, but in fact, less than 70% of the soldiers in the military camp are still mixed with the soldiers, recruiting soldiers, and athletes."

"What's even more ridiculous is that those recruiting soldiers have their own business in Chang'an City every day. They are nothing more than placing a Mao in the military camp and allowing the generals to give them some money at will. This is the current situation of the Sixteen Guards in Chang'an."

This is the basis for the saint to allow Xu Yi to select troops and train troops.

After King Xin'an informed Xu Yi about these things, Xu Yi was really a little suspicious of the so-called deceiving saints. Otherwise, he would not have been approved to implement the recruitment system.

The saint is confident and arrogant, and always feels that the entire dynasty is in his palm, whether in the frontier or in the capital. Therefore, as long as the dynasty has troops, he doesn't care whether he is on the frontier or in Chang'an.

In general, in recent years, the frontier has been getting good news. Whether it is Tubo, big food, Khitan, Shiwei, etc., the wars are getting good news every year.

Therefore, it should be that the saint turned a blind eye. This is also the reason why the saint generously gave Xu Yi a new army of two thousand quotas.

"Brother Yi, I originally wanted you to stay in Zuo Jinwu Guard for a while so that you can make some adjustments and recruit useful people for your use, and make some preparations for future battles in the frontier."

"I'm old and it's hard to go out again... You proposed to train the new army so early, alas... it's a bit of a castle in the air. In Chang'an, you don't have a foundation yet, and this cannot be changed by your grade and identity as a magistrate."

Li Wei was also very serious and told Xu Yi all the time what he could say but couldn't say.

"There shouldn't be a difficult time for the 16 guards to give two thousand, and King Xin'an, right?"

"It's not difficult, it's almost a hundred thousand soldiers. But have you ever thought about the left and right guards, the left and right Qianniu Guards' Palace Gate and the saint guards, these four guards have a shortage, and they cannot reveal their bottom in front of the saints. How many soldiers can you choose?"

"Similarly, the remaining twelve guards and those stationed in Chang'an had a soldier of 60,000, but in fact, less than 50,000, all need to be kept for the imperial court and the saints to see how many optional soldiers can you give?"

"Even the Zuo Jinwu Guard, the so-called Zuo Jinwu Guard, can't let the subordinate generals release all the elite soldiers for you to choose. In the military camp in Chang'an, everyone has his feet, everyone is afraid of making trouble, and they are in a well-known balance."

"Two thousand may be easy, maybe it may be difficult. If you stay in Zuo Jinwu Guard for three or two years, find out the truth, and even find out the situation of the entire Sixteen Guards, and then present your idea of ​​training a new army to the saints, then you only need the imperial edict from the court and select soldiers."

"From the formation training of Dongdu, I know that you have ideas about training troops, but it's not long, and even I don't know much about the current situation of soldiers in Chang'an......"

"So, I said you're a little anxious."

Xu Yi was confused. Whether it was in Longyou or later going to Shuofang, whether it was fighting against Tubo or conquering the Khitan, Xu Yi saw the fierce and fearless soldiers fighting against Dasheng.

But in Chang'an... Xu Yi believed that Li Wei had no need to lie to him. From the collapse of the military system of the government to the chaotic historical trajectory of the entire Great Prosperity Dynasty many years later, the current situation of the Sixteen Guards of Chang'an is really not to expect.

But I only have two thousand soldiers!

"If it really doesn't work, just recruit again."

This is all we can do. Anyway, the saints gave him two thousand soldiers...

On this day of Xu Yi, he was excited and lost, and he was disappointed again, and his mood was really fluctuating.

After saying goodbye to King Xin'an, Xu Yi once again took his only team of four or five people and returned home in a depressed state.

For a moment, Xu Yi even gave up a little, and even hoped that the saint would forget that this was the case.

Unfortunately, early in the morning, the central envoy from the palace arrived at Xu's mansion: "Emperor Zhao, Fengtian Chengyun, was appointed as the founding kingdom of Jincheng, General Dingyuan, General Xu Yi, General Mingwei, General Dasheng's new army envoy, and was in charge of the construction and training of the new army."

No choice.

If you say you are frowning, it won’t be so good. You will definitely not be in much better mood.

"Lord, there are people from Duke Guangping's mansion outside the door asking for a visit..."

Since Xu Yi was named the founding king, Xu Qing no longer called him the lord, but the lord.

"Let him... wait, Guangping Duke's Mansion?"

"Yes, I claim to be from Duke Guangping's Mansion."

Duke Guangping, Xu Yi remembered that there was a conversation between one or two at the banquet yesterday. Xu Yi was surprised at that time, and the old man was very enthusiastic.

I usually talked about visiting a few days later, but I didn’t expect someone to come today.

"Please come in."

Ordinary people come and send a message to you, but the official family in Guangping’s mansion is mysterious and mysterious. He said that his family, Guangping, begged the waiter of Jincheng to pass through the mansion.

Xu Yi didn't have the intention to show off his anger, just this inexplicable invitation... Thinking about his life in Chang'an is almost like a dark look, and it doesn't matter if he wants to visit him.

Xu Yi took Xu Qing and went straight to visit Duke Guangping with the manager of the Guangping Duke's Mansion.

"I Cheng Boxian, how dare you ask about the name of Jincheng Hou?"

Xu Yi didn't expect that after arriving at Duke Guangping's mansion, just after the greetings, Duke Guangping said this.

"Mr. Cheng is here, so I'm sure Mr. Cheng knows that his name is Jingting."

"That's it. Come on..."

Xu Yi was confused by the operation of Guangping Gong and didn't understand these meanings at all. It was not an ordinary program for hospitality.

The guest follows the host's will, and can only follow the old man's will.

It was a scroll, which looked a little old. It was respectfully carried by a middle-aged man in his thirties and slowly entered the middle hall.

I don't understand, I can only watch it like this.

The Duke Guangping got started and opened the scroll with him: "Jincheng Hou, please move and watch."

Xu Yi came forward... This is so familiar? Looking closely, Xu Yi felt that this was his portrait. Maybe there was a little difference, it looked too much like himself.

Xu Yi was even more confused. He looked at the portrait, turned his head to look at Mr. Guangping, and looked at the middle-aged man with a little red eyes. He didn't know what to do...

"Mr. Jincheng, this painting was written by Yan Liben in the Zhenguan year. The person in the painting was the assassination of the founding king Li Ji......"

This······· Xu Yi understood it. I remember when she met Yingniang, her master said, "I look like Yinggong, and Xu Yi didn't take it seriously at all."

Now, at this Guangping Duke's mansion, I actually saw a portrait that looked so similar to me.

Xu Yi did not respond. He pretended to look at the portrait casually, then stepped back to the chair and sipped the tea gently.

"Mr. Jincheng, I am the grandson of Duke Cheng Yaojin of Lu, and the son of Duke Cheng Chubi of Guangping County. As for him... "As for him... ", Cheng Boxian pointed to the middle-aged man: "His name is Xu Sishun, and he is Xu Jingzhen, and the eldest son of Duke Ying's third son."

The reason why Xu Yi didn't speak was to consider the gains and losses of his identity after it was exposed.

This old Cheng family really posed a problem for Xu Yi.
