Duan Yunyi seized the moral high ground, reprimanded Duanmujie and others with great righteousness, and finally successfully rejected the protests of the ministers.
The Ministry of War also had to accept the order and temporarily provide Liang Xiao with weapons for selection.
When the Guanlong nobles learned about this, their faces showed relief.
Wang Pojun said: "It seems that Marquis Lanling is really determined to lead his troops northward. However, he chose elites of this level as soon as he came. Lin Shi, what do you think?"
Lin Shidao: "Send someone to find out. If Prime Minister Zhuge expresses his support, it means that he is optimistic about the commander-in-chief of Lanlinghou. If Prime Minister Zhuge's attitude is ambiguous, it means that Lanlinghou is just favored by the emperor. No matter what, Get ready, and when he is done with his work, we can pay him a visit. No matter what the result is, we will make a big publicity, and we won’t lose anyway!”
Jian Canglang was not in the Chamber of Commerce today, and Gongsun Yue felt isolated and helpless.
"He is actually qualified to use such standards to select elites. No, I must wake up!"
Gongsun Yue couldn't sit still anymore and sent someone to inform Liang Xiao that he was going to bring some gifts and pay a visit.
Half an hour later, the guard rushed over to report: "Marquis Lanling is still recruiting troops in the center of the city!"
Gongsun Yue had no choice but to sit at home and wait.
In the center of the city, Liang Xiao was sitting on a high platform reading the list.
In one day, more than 5,000 people registered. Each applicant reported his place of origin and a brief personal experience, such as whether he had ever learned horse riding or practiced martial arts.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Wei State had a population of millions, but only 50,000 Wei soldiers. It was unrealistic to directly recruit 10,000 people from the capital.
According to his estimate, it would be enough to recruit 2,000 people, which happened to reach the upper limit of the number of Liang family troops entering Beijing.
Xuanwei quickly sent Duan Yunyi's handwriting. After reading it, Liang Xiao couldn't help but be moved.
Duan Yunyi and Zhuge Hui both supported him in selecting elites and arranged for a military camp outside the city to be used as a training ground for the Liang family army.
The Ministry of War was already working on providing weapons, so he had to select personnel as soon as possible.
The recruitment of Liang Jiajun is in full swing, but Zhenyuan Hou Nangong Lei is sitting on pins and needles.
Today, he and the ministers of the aristocratic family almost "forced the palace" to remonstrate to death, but instead incurred the wrath of the empress and were defeated.
He has realized that his position as Minister of War may not be preserved.
Unless he goes against his normal behavior and fully supports the country's war against Beihu and draws a clear line with the family, that is impossible.
In order to join the circle of these aristocratic families, he worked hard for twenty years!
"How come Liang Xiao, an imperial businessman and civil servant, can recruit tens of thousands of elites as soon as he comes!"
Nangong Tian was furious and was smashing the vase in the room.
As the son of the Minister of War, he is still just a captain of the Habayashi Military Academy and has no real power.
The Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion finally got married to the Duanmu family, so he waited for the family's support and rose through the ranks in the military.
As a result, Liang Xiao suddenly entered the military circles of the Great Zhou Dynasty and was treated like a high-ranking general.
As long as the empress does not seize command, the Liang family army will be equivalent to Liang Xiao's private army.
Nangong Lei sneered and said: "It doesn't matter. When the time comes, the weapons provided to the Liang family army will be the lowest batch!"
In Tuoba's secret room, Tuoba Lie and his beloved son Tuoba Jun were equally worried.
"Liang Xiao, a thief like this, should be able to recruit at least two thousand elites from the capital... In this case, my son, the three thousand dead soldiers that you and I have secretly raised will be useless." Tuoba Lie said with a bitter smile.
Tuoba Jun also frowned.
The Tuoba clan secretly prepared three thousand dead soldiers, who were usually ordinary farmers and workers.
Only the core members of the family know about this matter, not even allies like the Duanmu family.
They raised dead soldiers at all costs just to wait for Zhuge Hui to seize power after his death.
Zhuge Hui has always been honest and his family has no money. Of course, the Zhuge family does not have a private army.
Marquis Dingguo resisted Beihu on the border again. The only real threats to the capital were the Xuanwei and Yulin troops, as well as the guards and bodyguards of Marquis Dingguo's mansion.
The Yulin Army can be confused by them, and there are only less than half of the Xuanwei in the capital.
Coupled with the support of these aristocratic families in the capital and the out-of-town guards such as Tuobating, great things can be accomplished!
If Liang Xiao left two thousand elite Liang Jiajun in the capital, the situation would be different...
Even if they raise troops to attack on the grounds that Liang Xiao is treason, they will only scare the enemy and force the empress to send troops to support Liang Xiao, which is not worth the loss.
Tuoba Jun gritted his teeth and sighed: "That dog thief has just inherited the title, so he has to go and see his own fiefdom, right? Call several other people to discuss, and together they can collect one hundred thousand taels of silver, hire Northern Hebei Rangers to ambush the dog, and kill him with a borrowed knife. !”
Late at night, Liang Xiao was sitting at home having a drink, feeling happy.
Without an army of his own at hand, he would never feel truly safe.
Moreover, his Liang Jiajun is still a legitimate army.
While Liang Xiao was drinking comfortably, Xuanwei announced from outside that Gongsun Yue was visiting.
Liang Xiao was wary.
It's a moment before Hai hour, which is equivalent to close to nine o'clock in the evening, and this girl ran over in the dark...
Jiang Fuxue was already asleep.
In the courtyard, Gongsun Yue and Liang Xiao sat opposite each other. After the tea fell into their throats, they said softly: "Congratulations, Mr. Liang, for being allowed to recruit the Liang family army."
"Is this why you came to me?" Liang Xiao said with a smile.
"Of course it's not just about this."
Gongsun Yue still smiled, and her voice was gentler than ever before. She raised her head and glanced at the moon in the sky, but she was thinking about it in her heart.
"On the surface, this animal only talks about business, but in fact it values love and justice. Otherwise, Xing Feng, Lei Hong and my little sister would not be convinced. I will tell him later: 'Mr. Liang, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight', This statement is very in line with the sentiment of romance, and it is gentle and tactful. There is no way he would not understand."
"If he answers 'The wind is also very gentle' or something like that, it means that he actually likes me in his heart, so I will take advantage of the situation and say: 'Just like Mr. Liang'. If he just answers 'hmm', I will add The last sentence was, 'The wind is so gentle, just like Mr. Liang'. Then I sat next to him again, Wu Nong whispered, and then kissed him while he wasn't paying attention!"
"If he answers 'Beautiful' or deliberately keeps silent, I will pretend to be coquettish and say: 'Young Master Liang is obviously talented, but he doesn't understand the charm at all~', then sit next to him, pretending to be pitiful, and ask him: 'The moonlight is not beautiful, then, am I beautiful?', and then I kissed him while he wasn't paying attention, without giving him a chance to answer!"
"No matter how he answers, as long as he thinks that I am fascinated by him, and in fact he has kissed me, I will not have to worry about not having the chance to pester him and my little sister in the future! Although it has been sacrificed, at least the relationship has progressed. step……"
Gongsun Yue thought about countless scenarios and response methods in her mind, and looked into the eyes of Liang Xiao who was drinking tea, but she was quite nervous.
I am so pampered and privileged, never have I ever been so wronged.
I will fight for my little sister!
Suppressing the tension in her heart, Gongsun Yue raised her head to look at the moon again, holding her chin in one hand, her eyes blurred.
The beauty under the moon is smiling beautifully.
"Master Liang, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight~" Gongsun Yue said softly.
Liang Xiao didn't even raise his head and said, "Well, it's suitable for stabbing."
