Originally, he thought of bringing Xiao Sizi there to show off his power, but since Shimin delivered the luggage to the army that day and personally explained it to Bai Qisi, there was no need to take her there.
As the emperor's personal guard, Baiqisi's camp is just outside Anli Gate, and further north is the Longshouyuan Royal Hunting Ground.
Speaking of which, this place is not far from Changlefang, and you can get there in a short while on horseback.
When the soldiers guarding the camp gate saw their menacing appearance, they immediately raised their spears and said, "Stop those coming. This is an important area of the military camp and no idlers are allowed to approach."
Chen Jingke had not lived enough and had no intention of breaking into the military camp, so he reined in his horse and stopped not far away.
Without waiting for his instructions, Xu Shanying took the initiative to go forward a few steps: "Tell Lieutenant Jing and Lieutenant Sheng that Chen Zhenren is here and ask them to come out to greet them."
These sentries had obviously received instructions, and they immediately asked: "But Zhenren Chen of Zixiao Temple?"
Xu Shanying said: "Yes."
After confirming that it was him, the sentry did not dare to neglect and said: "Everyone, please wait a moment, I will inform the two captains right away."
Then a sentry trotted into the camp.
Chen Jingke raised his eyes and looked inside the camp and found that everything was in order. He didn't know whether it was deliberately disguised or it was just like this.
He preferred the latter. In the early Tang Dynasty, the military discipline of the Tang army was still very strict. Baiqisi, as the emperor's personal guard, must have stricter military discipline requirements.
Soon after Jing Hengyan, Sheng Liwei appeared at the door with a group of officers: "I've seen a real person."
Chen Jingke then got off his horse and said, "Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you all."
Jing Heng said: "I don't dare. This is a matter of personal responsibility. I'll ask you inside."
Soldiers came over to take the horses away and place them, and Chen Jingke entered the camp accompanied by everyone.
"From a rough perspective, I can see that the Baiqi Division has strict military discipline, and this is all the result of all of you."
Jing Heng said: "Thank you for your compliment, Master. We are the emperor's bodyguards. We just ask not to embarrass the saint."
As they were talking, they arrived at the camp, and Chen Jingke sat directly in the main seat without any courtesy. Jing Hengyan, the captain, sat on the left as he should, and Sheng Liwei, the deputy, sat on the right.
The next step was to introduce the officials of Baiqisi one by one, so that they got to know each other.
Jing Hengyan's side was basically from a distinguished family, while Sheng Liwei's side was almost from a bad boy. It can be said that the two sides are completely different.
Chen Jingke had already investigated Baiqisi's situation clearly and had made a comprehensive plan, so he immediately said:
"It's great. No one made excuses to ask for leave and gave me a slap on the wrist. I'm both happy and disappointed at the same time."
Jing Hengyan glanced at the other side with contempt and said: "I'm joking, the military has the most important rules. Anyone who dares to disobey military law is seeking death."
Sheng Liwei also responded with disdain: "Master, please rest assured. We all come from poor families and are grateful for the saint's grace. We are not like some dandy boys who are arrogant and domineering."
"Huh." The two of them glared at each other and sat down angrily.
Chen Jingke thought to himself that it was really wonderful, and said: "That couldn't be better. It is said that new officials have three things to do when they take office, and I am no exception. I hope you can help me make these fires brighter."
Everyone said in unison: "Master, please give me your instructions."
Chen Jingke had a hint of joking in his expression and said, "First of all, let's exchange positions."
Everyone looked puzzled, and Jing Hengyan asked: "I don't understand something, please give me a detailed explanation."
Chen Jingke pointed at both sides and said, "Swap places. You lead their troops, and they lead yours."
"Ah?" Everyone looked at each other, which song are they going to sing?
"Master, is this... too childish?" Sheng Liwei couldn't help but say.
Chen Jingke's face turned cold and he said: "Child's play? Are you blaming me, or questioning the military discipline of the Tang Dynasty?"
Sheng Liwei's heart trembled, and he quickly apologized: "My subordinate made a mistake, please forgive me."
Chen Jingke said calmly: "If you commit the first offense, I will forgive you once. If you dare to commit another offense next time, I can forgive you, but military law cannot."
"Here." Sheng Liwei's momentum was taken away and he didn't dare to speak for a while.
Others also felt the majesty of this little real man, and finally realized that this was the chief administrator of Baiqisi appointed by the saint himself.
You can look down on him and bully him when he is young - if you are not afraid of military law.
Chen Jingke glanced around, and everyone he saw lowered their hands and lowered their eyebrows: "Who has any other opinions?"
No one answered.
"What, you want to object with silence?"
"I don't dare. I will obey the orders of the real person."
Only then did Chen Jingke say with satisfaction: "Very good. In order to prevent anyone from acting treacherously, I want you to know all the new subordinates well."
"What is your name, how old you are, how many people are in your family, what kind of business you are engaged in, how much you are paid, are there any difficulties at home..."
"The more detailed information you have, the better. I will conduct an assessment in one month and those who fail will be kicked out of Baiqisi."
After hearing the last sentence, those who were still a little careless quickly stopped thinking.
This method is copied from the rabbit policy of the Jinggangshan period. People come from all over the world and have different experiences. They look down on each other and there are many conflicts.
So some big guys came up with this idea to exchange officers with each other. Don’t you look down on the other party? Then go and understand the other party’s thoughts personally.
When these officers understand each other's grassroots officers and soldiers' thoughts, they can no longer be discriminatory.
After the exchange was completed, when I returned to my old unit, I began to actively say good things about each other. With the excellent ideological work, I successfully managed to unite everyone.
What Chen Jingke wants to do is the same thing. Regardless of whether this method can work in Datang, it is always good to give it a try.
Having said this, Chen Jingke said again: "Now let me talk about the second fire. Baiqi Division has five teams under its jurisdiction. From today on, five of my guards will serve as instructors for each team."
"What?" Now the five captains were reluctant, including Jing Hengyan and Sheng Liwei, with unswerving expressions. Isn't this just a seizure of power?
Everyone spoke out to object. In short, it was just one sentence. It was of great importance.
Chen Jingke just watched them making noise without saying a word.
After a while, everyone gradually woke up and realized something was wrong. They all stopped talking.
Chen Jingke then said: "Why don't you stop arguing? Continue, this is the first time I have seen a military camp that looks like a vegetable market. Thank you for letting me gain my knowledge."
Everyone looked embarrassed, but most of them were angry. This person didn't respect us at all.
"I know you are dissatisfied. It doesn't matter. You are all the saint's personal guards. Can you complain to the saint and replace me?"
"But before I am replaced, you must all listen to me, otherwise don't blame me for serving you under military law."
"The most important thing in the Tang Dynasty is people, and there is no shortage of young people who want to make contributions. If you don't want to work in Baiqisi, there are many people who are willing."
"Now you can either go to the saint and complain and be dismissed, or you can listen to me honestly, otherwise I don't mind replacing all the disobedient people."
"How about it? Do you want me to leave first and give you time to complain?"
