Li Shimin explained some more things, and the order was finally issued. Baiqi was the emperor's personal honorary honour, so mobilizing these troops no longer had to go through the Prime Minister's Cabinet and the Ministry of War made it so complicated by issuing orders in turn. Li Shimin said,
Qin Mubai was asked to stay in the palace in the afternoon. First, he could accompany Li Zhi and Li Mingda when he had time. Second, Qin Mubai was asked to go to the Baiqi Army Camp to recruit manpower to prepare for tomorrow's departure.
Qin Mubai was secretly happy, it just so happened that I still had something to do!
Although it has entered autumn, the weather in the pass is still hot. Li Shimin took a nap in Penglai Hall and then went to Wude Hall to attend to government affairs. The Tang Dynasty has been troubled recently, with a locust plague in Hedong and an earthquake in Shannan Road.
The situation at the northwest border was a little tense and not as peaceful as before. Coupled with the Jiangzhou flood, Li Shimin became busy for a while. In normal times, such a flood would have been enough to attract the attention of the Manchu Dynasty and the emperor to personally intervene. But now there are so many major events in the imperial court.
, Li Shimin followed this excuse and sent two "idlers" to take care of Jiangzhou's affairs.
On the one hand, it would allow Li Ke to put his merits and crimes back on the stage and establish the favor of the royal family. On the other hand, it would also allow Qin Mubai to stay away from the palace and Princess Gaoyang, calming down the turmoil of the royal marriage. Li Shimin's plan was not a good one.
It doesn't make any noise, and it does more than one thing with one stone.
After the emperor left, Li Shimin played with Li Zhi and Li Mingda in the imperial garden for a while, taught them how to play the pipa, and told them stories. After that, he gently handed them over to Yu Shinan to study, while he himself
Arrive at the Baiqi Camp.
After more than half a year, Baiqi Camp has almost become Qin Mubai's second home, and the soldiers here are like brothers. But today, when Qin Mubai appeared in the camp, all the soldiers exclaimed. Everyone was surprised.
They gathered around him happily and said, "General Qin, you are finally back!"
"I just took a few days off, why are you making such a fuss?" Qin Mubai asked a little puzzled.
The sergeants were usually very close to Qin Mubai, talking to him about almost everything, and regarded him as the most reliable and trustworthy person. At this time, they all told him that the emperor had issued an order two days ago.
, Changsun Huan left. It is said that he was transferred to Nanya of the capital as the gatekeeper of the Nine Cities. Although his rank was mentioned as the fifth rank, his position was not comparable to that of Baiqi deputy envoy. To put it bluntly, he was Ming Ming.
Those who rose and fell were demoted.
Nanya is compared to the imperial army of Beiya, which is specially stationed in the imperial city. The Tang Dynasty implemented a government army system. Local prefectures and counties had government soldiers. They were soldiers during busy times and during slack times. They prepared their own food, horses, ordnance and other items for military service.
, the country can recruit and use them at any time. These soldiers are all under the command of the Twelve Guards. They take turns to guard the capital in accordance with orders. Most of them are stationed in the military camps outside Chang'an City. A small number of them are stationed at the nine gates of Chang'an City.
, and this part of the government soldiers were temporarily incorporated into the Forbidden Army, and were funded by the court to support them, just like mercenaries.
In other words, Changsun Huan was transferred to guard the gate of Chang'an, and he was in charge of a group of "semi-mercenaries" from all over the country. Although they were a little higher than the grade of government soldiers, they were far better than being employed for life.
The Imperial Guards were one level lower than the Imperial Guards, and even worse than the Hundred Cavalry.
"Chang Sun Huan left, and General Qin suddenly disappeared. We all thought that General Qin would be transferred soon! Now there are only two old deputy envoys, Yuchi Baoyun and Cheng Huaibi, left in the army.
The former chief of history and the new deputy envoy Li Junxian. General Qin, are Baiqi going to change their heads?" The sergeants asked worriedly.
"Don't make blind guesses. I am still the Hundred Cavalry Envoy and will not leave you." Qin Mubai said to them firmly, "However, I have recently been ordered by the emperor to go out on errands and may have to leave the military camp for a while. You guys
Please calm down, follow Deputy Ambassador Li's instructions and do your job well, and don't make mistakes!"
"Yes, General!"
Later, Qin Mubai returned to the Yamen. His office was still empty, and Li Junxian could only work in his Changshi Yamen. When he heard that Qin Mubai was coming, he hurriedly went out to greet him.
