Chapter 892: On the Right Track

The outside of Chengtian Gate was already boiling and seemed a little chaotic. The young people were so excited that they were afraid that the world would not be in chaos. They wanted to go to fight and immediately go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Some foreign envoys who were mixed in the crowd and joined in the fun were the most embarrassing groups. Their physical characteristics betrayed them, and someone would believe it. It was not? They were caught in the vast ocean of the people, and they were all restless. Fortunately, the people of the Tang Dynasty were still rational and inclusive, and there was no real conflict. But they were scared so much that they hurriedly covered their faces and returned to Honglu Temple to avoid the disaster.

The old man Wailang from the Ministry of Rites is old and has not gone out to join in the fun. Seeing these people coming back so early, he heard what happened in his words and comforted him: "Ahem... you don't have to be afraid, this... this... haha... this is just a joke, just a joke. I, the people of the Tang Dynasty, are still very rational..."

"Yes...yes...understand, all of them understand." The envoys smiled bitterly in cold sweat to express their understanding. What else can they do if they don't understand? Now there are fanatical people on the streets, and this is the safest place.

As soon as the words were finished, someone shouted outside the wall: "Goguryeo has always been disrespectful to me. I heard that the envoy of Goguryeo is at the Honglu Temple. Can we rush in and teach him a lesson?"

The old man was speechless and said awkwardly: "I laugh at you, I laugh at you."

At this time, another sentence came from: "Nothing happens, the two countries will not kill the envoys when they are at war. How can a great country have no such a stake?"

The Goguryeo envoy's tears were about to flow out, and he could no longer agree. He suppressed his fear and nodded like a pounding garlic, looking around in fear that someone would rush in, and repeatedly said, "You are right, yes, laughing, laughing..."

"Goguryeo insulted me in the Tang Dynasty. It's damn, it's damn, it's damn! What kind of morals should I tell them? Beat me first!"

The Goguryeo envoy's legs trembled. He was really out of control, and his teeth were clattering. The old man Wailang sat beside him and said with a smile: "The young man was full of energy and said frankly, and he could not be true. National affairs are of great importance. His Majesty will be the ruler of the court. The King of the Tang Dynasty emphasizes that the army is famous, and will not use any rash weapons."

The Goguryeo envoy's face turned pale and said tremblingly, "Yes, yes, I know, I know."

The old man Wailang looked at him and the old god sipped a glass of wine on the ground, thinking that he had lived so much that it was the first time he had seen Goguryeo's envoys lose his composure. However, it should be so that he could show the majesty of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire.

The carnival that night was to dawn. After thinking about it, no one knew why he was so enthusiastic. Anyway, when he saw others screaming like a catharsis, his whole body became hot. This herd effect lasted for the middle of the night. Finally, as the physical energy was exhausted, they went home, eating what they should eat and sleeping.

The queen, concubine, and princess couldn't stand the crazy atmosphere, so they went back to their bedrooms to sleep at night, but there were not many people who could go to bed so noisy outside.

When the dawn cleared away the black fog, Li Shimin was still excited. His voice was a little hoarse. Seeing the deserted palace walls and the tired imperial guards, princes, princes, relatives, ministers, etc., cheered up and said to Li Mu: "The military lieutenant needs to reward you, and you also need to reward you. You are doing this job well, and I am satisfied and happy. After that, what do you want?"

Li Mu said: "Even if I don't want to, I don't lack anything. I wonder what Your Majesty plans to reward the martial arts lecture hall?"

Li Shimin was in a great mood and said a little tired: "All officials have been promoted to one level and rewarded with tens of thousands of gold. As for the lieutenant, I am not sure what to do for a moment."

Li Mu complained in his heart that ten thousand gold is just ten thousand copper coins? One thousand gold is ten thousand gold, ten thousand gold is ten thousand coins. You always don’t know how much salary the officials in the martial arts lecture hall are, and you can even give out ten thousand coins?

However, no matter how few fly legs are, they are still flesh. Not to mention ten cents, Li Mu did not dislike it and said, "It is not appropriate to give the lieutenant officials to be granted titles. They have their own future. It is not appropriate to make a contribution by making a wish by a review. It is not appropriate to be granted an official position by a review. If this is not the case, since they are the personal army of the emperor, His Majesty must give them a title. It is better to make a seal and let them wear it day and night to show respect?"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "I understand what you mean, but there is no precedent for how to make this heraldry!"

"I have already designed it for Your Majesty." Li Mu took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, which contained the figures he used to draw with a charcoal pen: "Your Majesty, please look at this object. This thing is called an eavesquel, divided into three colors: gold, silver and copper, and distinguished between levels. Each large level is divided into several small levels. A bar is a level. These two crossed straight knives represent the types of soldiers. Bows and arrows represent the archers, swords represent infantry, etc., and it is clear to see one thing."

Li Shimin yawned and after most of the night, how could he not be sleepy? He reached out and copied the silk cloth from Li Mu's hand in his hand and said, "Okay, I'll take a good look and I'll give you the order."

Li Mu thanked him, and Li Shimin said: "You are tired too, go home and rest. Senior officials, go and arrange a vehicle to take Li Mu back."

After a moment of purging, Li Mu was young and couldn't bear it anymore. As soon as he got on the carriage, he was sleepy and hungry and took a nap in a daze. When he heard that there was a soup cake selling on the street, Li Mu tried hard to open his eyes, took out a ingot from his sleeve and threw it out, and bought a bowl of soup cakes and ate it in a slight manner. When he was in the Ministry of Works, he often ate soup cakes from the West Market, but since he founded the Ministry of Internal Affairs and has been struggling for a year, it seems that he hasn't tasted the soup cakes for a long time. After eating a bowl, many memories emerged.

The carnival crowd dispersed, and the streets were covered with garbage. Li Mu looked out from the curtain of the car and said angrily: "Why haven't the Urban Management Brigade gone on the street yet? I'll catch these garbage throwers first. Let's talk about it. The comprehensive quality of the people still needs to be improved!"

After thinking in his heart, his spirit was immediately sublimated, as if all the virtues in the world were possessed in his body, and he felt a sense of accomplishment of climbing up to overlook the countless people. He threw the bowls and chopsticks containing soup cakes and fell into pieces. Li Mu lay in satisfaction on the soft cushion in the carriage and fell asleep.

I don’t know when I went home, but I don’t know who helped him into the dormitory. Anyway, when he woke up, he was already sleeping in Jin Chen’s room. He took off his shoes and changed his clothes. He stretched his waist, his head was still a little drowsy, and suddenly he thought of something, but his eyes were confused, but he still didn’t remember what he was going to do.

Jin Chen came over with a bowl of sobering soup and handed it to Li Mu with both hands. Looking at him, he couldn't help but smile and said, "What's wrong? What have you forgotten?"

Li Mu took two sips of sobering soup and said, "I just feel that I haven't done something today, but I can't remember it for a while."

Jin Chen took a handkerchief to wipe his mouth and said, "If you can't remember, don't think about it. Anyway, even if you think about it, it's useless. You can't do anything now."

Li Mu couldn't help asking, "Why is this?"

Jin Chen couldn't help but smile, and came over to dress Li Mu while saying, "You also asked, how many people in the city were sleeping last night? Are you sleeping at home now? What can you do?"

When Li Mu thought about it, he smiled awkwardly, "What he said is right, but I was negligent."

Jin Chen said nothing. Today, the streets of Chang'an City are very deserted, and they only become lively in the evening, as if the day and night are reversed.

This kind of scene is really unprecedented, but when I think of the nonsense last night, anyone smiles, just feels a little crazy but not overstated.

After sleeping for a day, people were energetic again. Chang'an City inherited the good tradition of not having a curfew last year. People came and went on the streets. When everyone met, they greeted him: "Did you go to Chengtian Gate last night?" It seemed as if you went to Chengtian Gate to watch the ceremony and saw the captain of the martial arts hall. It was an extremely glorious thing, and you had to brag about it.

However, the urban management and the Wuhou patrolling the streets all seemed a little listless. They were usually very arrogant and had their own halo in front of the people. But now compared with the captains last night, they were really in the sky and underground, with many rumors. In short, many people looked at them with less awe and more contempt.

At this moment, Li Mu also remembered what he wanted to do and had not done yet. He also had to write the course charter for the martial arts lecture hall, when to learn literature and when to practice martial arts, all these things must be decided. However, even if he remembered it at this time, he could not do it because there were many guests at home.

For example, Fang Yiai, Du He, Li Chongyi and others have all come, and half of the urban management brigade have basically arrived. They have only one purpose to come, wanting to enter the martial arts lecture hall to study.

When Li Mu was recruiting students, he promulgated the regulations, but he did not let go of the people who already had official positions. However, when he left Chang'an and went to Luoyang to invite these people to dinner, he once mentioned the words of a real man to make achievements. Today, these people were using this sentence to Li Mu to fulfill it.

For Li Mu, the more lieutenants there are in the martial arts hall, the better. Moreover, the people from these urban management brigades have been trained, and their overall basic qualities are much better than those he recruits. Li Mu is willing to let them join, but the urban management brigade is also very important to Chang'an City. If the opening is enlarged, they all come to the martial arts hall and the urban management brigade will give up.

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "You can open some more places for you, but the number is limited. The ugly thing is ahead and if you don't meet the standards, no one can ask me for this matter."

Everyone had dealt with Li Mu. They knew his personality and said there was no favor to talk about, that was no favor to talk about. If you say something more, you would probably lose your qualifications. Now Li Mu arranged a meal, and after eating, he went back to his own house and prepared to take the assessment.

The next day, Li Mu was writing the charter, Li Jing came to visit. Even if Li Mu was entrusting himself with great responsibilities, he would not dare to be too presumptuous in front of this general. He quickly put down the things in his hand to receive them.

Li Jing was very concerned about the affairs of the martial arts hall and wanted to ask clearly and clearly everything. Li Mu explained his thoughts to him without getting tired of it, and Li Jing also put forward his own opinions from time to time. The more they talked, the more they became more and more speculative.

Li Mu wanted to ask Li Jing to write a note on marching and fighting. The purpose was to compile a military textbook. In this era, most people were still reading various military tactics. Sun Wu is indeed powerful, but it is too general and cannot help learning. To put it bluntly, that kind of military tactics is almost useless. Otherwise, everyone would hold a Sun's Art of War to fight. Wouldn't they be reincarnated?

What Li Mu needs is experience and practical experience. This General Li Jing has the most experience. He can tell the 20 to 30 with his fingers as usual.

For example, if people want to drink water, livestock should also drink water. The heavy pressure is that if food and grass follow the waterway, it can save livestock transportation capacity. Therefore, the army should try to move along the river. There is no water source, and the battle will be in chaos before the army is fought.

There are also camping camps. When camping, there should be external ditches outside the wooden farm and internal ditches. There should be a road where large troops gather and dispatch. The toilet should be kept away from the water source and the scouts should be released in time. Once the scouts cannot come back in time, you should pay attention and immediately organize cavalry teams to search. When marching, you should walk steadily. Walk for half a day, and the remaining half of the day should be spent camping and setting up camps. At night, personal soldiers must patrol the night as law enforcement teams. Anyone who makes noise at night will be killed; otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable once the camp is bombed.

Also, when camping, you need to choose flat land, and set up guard posts at the water source and upstream. If there is a highland nearby, you should send people to guard the water. Livestock should be placed downstream. People should drink water and wash upstream. Before drinking water, you should lead a cow and horse to drink. If there is no need to do anything, people can use it later. If you can boil it, try to drink boiled water.

This knowledge is what the captains should learn. As for how to use troops, it depends on their own understanding.
