(Menu at the end of the chapter, maps of various defense areas in Longyou!)
In the south of Yuanyang City, there were shouts of killing.
Some of the new recruits recruited by the Privy Council are trained at the Nancheng Campus, so it is very lively here every day.
Holding the spear, Hu Xiaolin kept thrusting forward.
Compared with others, Hu Xiaolin's gun barrel is very stable and his stabbing accuracy is also very good.
The sun was shining brightly, and during the past few days of training, most of them had tanned skin, but they were also stronger than before.
Under the watchtower in the northwest corner of the school grounds, more than a dozen people appeared at this moment, including officials from the Privy Council and hundreds of households responsible for training soldiers.
Of course, they formed a semicircle and surrounded Zhao Yanxun, who was wearing a dragon robe, in the center.
Today, Zhao Yanxun came specifically to inspect military training.
In front of the stairs of Guan Hetai's watchtower, he hooked his waist and said: "Your Highness, the view is better from the top of the watchtower!"
"Um!"
In response, Zhao Yanxun lifted up the hem of his robe and walked up the wooden steps.
The observation deck is made of wood and is about two feet high. The stairs are built around the platform.
The space on the watchtower is not big, it is two meters long and one meter wide, so only Chen Anming and Guan Hetai accompanied them up there.
I heard Chen Anming explain from the side: "Your Highness, there are only more than a thousand people training here, and more than a thousand others are already practicing military formations outside the city!"
Zhao Yanxun immediately asked: "Have all the weapons and armor been distributed?"
Guan Hetai replied: "Your Highness, don't worry, it has been distributed and is being mastered!"
Looking at the situation in front of him, Zhao Yanxun said slowly: "Military formation drills, this is not enough!"
"Please enlighten me, Your Highness!" Chen and Guan both bowed and said.
"You must also know that after more than a year of cleaning up the territory of Yuanyang Mansion, the number of monsters has been reduced a lot!"
In fact, when Zhao Yanxun said these words, Chen Guan and others guessed his intention.
"These recruits have been training for more than a month. They have learned the basic art of joint attack. They can go outside the city and fight monsters for real!"
"Ten people can fight one monster, but they can still do it!"
The density of zombies in Yuanyangfu is low. People have already moved outside the city, and new soldiers are sent to continue cleaning up the zombies. The danger is actually not that high.
"I will make arrangements as soon as possible!"
Zhao Yanxun nodded and said: "There is no rush, training is important and safety is important!"
He just made a suggestion and had no intention of executing it immediately.
"yes!"
After continuing to watch for a while, Zhao Yanxun couldn't sit still and wanted to take a closer look.
…………
"The prince may be coming soon. Please listen carefully. No one is allowed to talk or look randomly..."
"Do whatever you have to do, and don't act without orders!"
The soldiers were training step by step, but when the Baihu in charge of the training gave the order, the crowd suddenly became a little commotion.
In the hearts of the soldiers and civilians under Prince Yong's Mansion, Zhao Yanxun was a god-like existence.
Zhao Yanxun's arrival was like a god coming to the world for these soldiers. How could they not be excited?
And this scene was played out in the entire school grounds, and everyone was looking forward to seeing King Yong up close.
If you perform well and can be praised by King Yong, that would be the best thing.
After all, Yang Qing's success was due to his outstanding performance and Zhao Yanxun praised him as a model for the entire army.
Just when Hu Xiaolin was full of expectations like ordinary people, he heard hundreds of people nearby scolding him sternly: "Be steady, thrust quickly, and kill hard!"
All the soldiers were in Lingran. The first thing they were taught in the army was to be absolutely loyal to King Yong and to be absolutely obedient to their superiors.
The soldiers trained even harder, and not far away at this time, Zhao Yanxun had led the two ministers into the space between the formations.
His eyes scanned the surrounding soldiers, and he asked at the same time: "The king plans to set up a guard station, who do you think...is worthy of the post of guard envoy?"
Nowadays, the largest military organization under Prince Yong's Mansion is Qianhusuo, while the Weisuo is at a higher level, and the higher level is Dusi.
Nowadays, the territory under the jurisdiction of the royal palace has expanded, and the establishment of a guard station is in line with the actual situation.
But when asked about the duties of the envoys, neither of the two privy envoys answered.
Zhao Yanxun could only urge: "Just say what you have to say? There are only three of us here, so it won't spread to other people's ears!"
After a few breaths, I heard Guan Hetai speak: "I wonder, Your Highness, how many guardhouses are going to be set up?"
I originally asked these people to recommend it, but unexpectedly they raised a question, but this question is indeed necessary.
Zhao Yanxun did not answer. Any statement made by a superior must be cautious.
"What do you think?"
"I believe that we need to take a long-term view, so we must look at the entire Longyou!"
Zhao Yanxun nodded and signaled Guan Hetai to continue.
"There are seven prefectures in Longyou. The former Dusi of Longyou had five guard posts below it!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yanxun glanced at Chen Anming, who was once the commander-in-chief of Longyou Dusi.
"Your Highness, what Mr. Guan said is true. Longyou Dusi has five guards in total, divided into Yuanyang Guard, Gu Meng Guard, Tianjin Guard, Liyan Guard and Ningyang Guard!"
I only heard Zhao Yanxun ask: "Yuanyang Seven Prefectures, why are Laixuan Prefecture and Liaoping Prefecture not established?"
"The Longyou Guards Station is set up along the river, mainly to guard against the barbarians in the north. The two palaces of Laixuan and Liaoping are divided into Ningyang Guards and Yuanyang Guards!"
Zhao Yanxun glanced at Chen Anming, and then asked: "Guan Qing, you mean... to imitate the method of the original Longyou Dusi?"
"Your Highness, for more than a hundred years, the guards under the jurisdiction of Longyou Capital have been replaced many times. It took nearly fifty years to finally locate the five guards of Longyou!"
Zhao Yanxun nodded. After nearly a hundred years of friction among bureaucratic organizations, the final result must be reasonable.
I saw Zhao Yanxun smiling and saying: "Setting up five guards at once, Guan Qing... you are really brave!"
"The guard station was established by His Highness, and I just talked about it. Your Highness has given you too much praise!" Guan Hetai was extremely humble.
"Chen Qing, what do you think?"
Chen Anming said cautiously: "What Mr. Guan said is reasonable, and I have no objection!"
"Do you have any recommendations for a candidate for the Guardian Envoy?"
Faced with this question, the two Privy Councilors were silent. The job of recommending people was indeed difficult.
"Your Highness, there are only a few Qianhu who can serve as the envoys of the guards... They all have their own abilities, and you can't go wrong with whoever you choose!"
In the end, Guan Hetai suppressed these words.
Zhao Yanxun smiled and did not continue to embarrass these two people. At this moment, he was still a little hesitant.
"Let's do this. Send an order to the chief and deputy officers of each thousand households in Yuanyang and ask them to come to the palace on the tenth day of the seventh lunar month. I will test them personally!"
The so-called examination is actually Zhao Yanxun's interview with his subordinates.
Chen and Guan originally thought that only the thousand-household level would have the opportunity to serve as a guard envoy, but now it seems that the situation is very different from what they thought.
First, the deputy Qianhu also had a chance to be promoted, and secondly, the two full-time Qianhu, Fang Sheng and Wang Cheng, were actually excluded from the candidates.
"Yes!" Chen and Guan replied.
"kill!"
At this moment, a loud shout came from the side, interrupting the questioning between Zhao Yanxun and the others.
