- [Brothers, Lao Niu is begging for the support of recommendation votes, thank you! ¡¿
Li Yuan did not stay in Luoyang for a few more days. Two days later, he hurried back to Chang'an.
The palace in Luoyang has been in ruins and desolation due to lack of maintenance in recent years. Li Yuan has long disliked it. What's more, he established the Eastern Capital this time just to provide a name for Li Shimin to expand his power. , it¡¯s not that he really wants to enjoy the life of accompanying the capital in Dongdu.
This can be seen from what he told Li Xiaogong.
Li Yuan's explanation to Li Xiaogong was that within three years, Li Xiaogong would be able to use the Grand Administrative Office of the Eastern Capital as the basis to establish a court structure and appoint officials with corresponding positions. However, he would not appoint or remove official positions for the time being, and would determine his salary level by demoting the official position in the imperial court by one level. , three years later, it will be decided as appropriate.
This explanation expresses several meanings of Li Yuan. One is that Li Xiaogong can torment a court organization, but only temporarily. Although officials have real powers, they do not have legitimate titles and are only given some symbolic salaries. That¡¯s all.
Secondly, the time Li Yuan gave Li Xiaogong, or in other words, the time he gave Li Shimin, was three years. Within three years, if Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong couldn't produce anything, then it would really have to be decided "on a case-by-case basis."
Of course, Li Yuan not only gave Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong a name, but also had many actual benefits. The first benefit Li Yuan gave was to allow Li Xiaogong to imitate Chang'an and establish the "Eastern Capital" in the Eastern Capital Palace. The left and right Habayashi Guards".
The establishment of this Yulin Guard is tentatively set at 20,000 people, and all expenses will be borne by Chang'an.
After the formation of the left and right Yulin Guards in the Eastern Capital, it was actually equivalent to giving Luoyang an additional 20,000 elite Tang army. Since it was a regular Tang army, Li Xiaogong naturally would not let the left and right Yulin Guards live in the palace. How should they be used? , he will know how to use it.
In the current Tang Dynasty, there are absolutely no soldiers who can make a living.
The second benefit given by Li Yuan was what Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong worked hard for, which was to allow Li Xiaogong to withhold all tax revenue from the Eastern Capital and make overall arrangements on his own. If finances allowed, he could increase his military strength on his own.
This is a great power. After the power to withhold taxes and expand military power is decentralized, within three years, Luoyang will be equivalent to a state within a state. This is what the original officials of Li Jiancheng and his group were most opposed to. .
The current eastern capital of Luoyang, together with more than ten major surrounding counties, accounts for nearly a quarter of the tax revenue of the entire Tang Dynasty. This is definitely not a small amount.
In this chaotic era, the restrictions on the rank and title of officials in the Eastern Capital did not actually mean much, but once the financial and military power were released, it would be equivalent to letting go of all the constraints on Li Shimin. Although The nominal leader of Dongdu is Li Xiaogong, but the forces formed on this basis are not forces that support Li Shimin?
However, it can also be seen from this that Li Yuan has great trust in his cousin, both in terms of ability and loyalty. I am afraid that it is even more trustworthy than his trust in his biological son Li Shimin.
Otherwise, Li Yuan did not need to borrow Li Xiaogong's hand to develop Li Shimin's power. It would be better to directly hand over the Eastern Capital to Li Shimin to manage it personally. He added Li Xiaogong in the middle, and it was in the true sense. Controlling all aspects of real power is actually a subtle restriction on Li Shimin.
No matter what, Li Yuan is a little afraid of his Erlang because he knows his son better than his father!
However, no matter what, after Li Yuan left the Eastern Capital, Li Xiaogong finally became the most powerful figure in the entire Tang Dynasty, second only to Li Yuan. From then on, it was Li Jiancheng who took on the reputation of the prince overseeing the country. I'm afraid it's not as powerful as Li Xiaogong's.
Everything in Luoyang now, plus the more than ten surrounding counties with a total population of more than two million, and the 100,000 elite Luoyang Tang Army including the Yulin Guards of the Eastern Capital, etc., are already Li Xiaogong's capital. .
Moreover, it is definitely a very strong capital.
¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù
The day after Li Yuan patted his butt and left, Li Xiaogong couldn't wait to ask Xiao Feng to meet him in the chief steward's house.
During this period of time, what lingered in Li Xiaogong's mind was what Xiao Feng said was the "Way of Strange Soldiers".
In fact, Li Xiaogong had already prepared the manpower Xiao Feng needed, and circled a military camp in the East City on the edge of Luoyang Imperial City for Xiao Feng to train his troops. However, Li Xiaogong did not dare to start training a private army so blatantly before. , because he does not have this power yet. Now, after Li Xiaogong has been authorized by Li Yuan, it is justifiable for him to form this new army.?.
Li Xiaogong is an extremely stable person. He has gained so much trust from Li Yuan and has been granted such great power, so he is even more cautious, lest he tell the truth and arouse Chang'an's suspicion.
There is another reason why Li Xiaogong is so cautious, because he has kept in mind several requirements put forward by Xiao Feng to form this "surprise army", the most important of which is confidentiality.
One of Xiao Feng's most important requirements is that this army does not belong to the Tang army's establishment. Xiao Feng's purpose of doing this is very simple, that is, he does not want this force to be controlled and interfered by anyone. I don¡¯t want the strength I have trained so hard to end up making wedding clothes for others.
Xiao Feng just wants to control this power in his own hands, or it is feasible to take a step back and use Li Xiaogong's name to control this power. Regarding this, Xiao Feng does not need to elaborate, Li Xiaogong is also clear in his mind.
What is a "surprise soldier"? In the final analysis, it is reflected in the word "odd". There are many explanations for the word "odd", but in any case, if the existence of this army is not known to the world, it will definitely be able to better utilize this army. Li Xiaogong has no objection to this.
Therefore, Li Xiaogong also acted like a bachelor. In the carriage with Xiao Feng on the way to the Dongcheng military camp, Li Xiaogong said directly: "Xiao Feng, this force will be formed in your name for the time being. These people are all There are more than 300 people selected from among the people I trust the most. They will be available for you to choose. If you choose them, I will take off their military status and be in your charge from now on. As for the military expenses, you don¡¯t need to Worry, even though they have lost their military status, all the benefits will be three times that of the Habayashi Guards."
Li Xiaogong¡¯s words naturally reflected his trust in Xiao Feng.
Li Xiaogong knew very well in his heart that if Xiao Feng had not assassinated Jieli Khan this time, it was still uncertain whether he would be qualified to be the general manager of Dongdu. All the enemy troops were repulsed. Luoyang, which had been sacked by the Turks' 200,000 troops, would not be able to recover for three to five years. As for the Tang army under Li Xiaogong, it would be lucky to retain half of it.
After hearing what Li Xiaogong said, Xiao Feng was naturally very satisfied, so he smiled and said: "Brother Xiaogong, just don't worry, I will build this force into the strongest force in the world. After a few months, I believe You can see some results."
"Xiao Feng, I believe you!" Li Xiaogong nodded solemnly.
Indeed, with this kind of power in the hands of his future son-in-law, how can Li Xiaogong be uneasy?
Although until now, Li Xiaogong is still struggling with the issue of whether Xiao Feng is his brother or his son-in-law.
¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù
When Li Xiaogong and Xiao Feng arrived at the military camp in the east city, more than 300 Li family soldiers in the military camp had already lined up in order and were waiting in the training ground.
In order to show his full support for Xiao Feng and to establish his authority for Xiao Feng, Li Xiaogong specially accompanied Xiao Feng in person today, and this was his idea.
Xiao Feng was very satisfied with this hidden military camp located in the East City at first glance.
The military camp is very large. It was originally a training ground for the Yulin Guards and can accommodate thousands of people training at the same time. The military camp is surrounded by high walls that Li Xiaogong recently built, so it is difficult to peek into the military camp from the outside. one thing.
Dongcheng was originally a small town on the edge of the Imperial City. Ordinary people were not allowed to enter. In addition, a high wall was added outside the military camp. Who else could peek into the secrets within the high wall?
On the training ground of the military camp, some training facilities have been built according to Xiao Feng's requirements. Of course, in order to keep it confidential, Xiao Feng did not completely follow the layout of the facilities of later generations. Instead, he arranged these training facilities based on some of the current conditions of the Tang Dynasty. The facility has undergone some renovations.
But no matter how the system is modified, the principle of training remains unchanged.
Such details are nothing in the eyes of others, but Xiao Feng can consider them carefully.
" Xiao Feng absolutely does not believe that among the major forces in the Tang Dynasty, there will be no Korean spies. No matter how ugly it is, whether there are bribed traitors will still be a problem.
In any era, there are always people who will perish under Jin Yuan's offensive. If Jin Zhendong does not know how to use these methods, then he is not a person from later generations.
So many things Xiao Feng has to do now are extremely cautious and must be taken precautions.
After briefly looking at everything in the training ground and the military camp, Xiao Feng nodded with satisfaction. Then, when Xiao Feng turned his attention to the more than 300 Li family soldiers who were neatly lined up, the look of satisfaction on his face was, A bit thicker.
????????????????Xiao Feng could tell from the majestic body shape, mighty momentum, and the sparkle emanating from their eyes that these sergeants were elites, the elites among the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!
" Xiao Feng doesn't think that he can train some helpless civilians into elite special forces in a short period of time. That is a fantasy dream and absolutely unrealistic.
However, if he relies on the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in front of him, Xiao Feng is still confident that he can do it. As long as he is given enough time, he can create an elite division that will make all enemies fearful.
How can people of this era understand the extremely scientific special forces training methods of later generations? I'm afraid that not even Jin Zhendong's Goryeo Dynasty could have such a force as Xiao Feng thought in his heart.
And this power will be Xiao Feng¡¯s trump card in the future, a unique trump card!
At this moment, Xiao Feng only felt that his heart was filled with pride.
