After visiting these filial sons individually, Zhang Ji went to the palace to ask the imperial doctors for some bruises and sent them to them.
After all, these guys are also recruiting soldiers for themselves... Well, just like the black-hearted bosses in later generations who send text messages to express their condolences to sick model employees, they don't really care about the health of their employees, they just want them to come back to work as soon as possible, so good Where can I find cheap tools?
Second-generation generals such as Yang Wengzi, Shejian, Su Jiao, Wang Ben, Feng Wuze, Tu Sui, Ren Xiao, Li Xin, and Qiang You recruited soldiers and helped poach people from their families, giving Zhang Ji a sense of leadership. A group of rich second generations started a business. The rich second generation not only misappropriated funds from their own companies to fill their own capital vacancies, but also helped poach senior executives from their own companies to recruit talents for them.
Li Xin is a descendant of the Li family in Longxi. The Li family in Longxi has a great reputation in both the civil and military circles of the Qin State. Moreover, the Li family in Longxi has also opened several ranches. Not only did they pack up 500 people and horses who are good at equestrian skills. The family soldiers joined Zhang Ji's command, and many elite cavalry were recruited from his uncle's command.
The Qiang people were even more inhumane. The Longxi Qiang family cooperated with the Longxi Li family to herd and raise horses in Shangjun pasture. Many war horses were directly purchased by the Qin army. But this time, Qiang Yu actually persuaded his family and the Li family in Longxi to sell tens of thousands of military horses to Zhang Ji at a loss, so that each of Zhang Ji's three thousand horses could meet the top configuration of one person and three horses.
The remaining military supplies and equipment are distributed according to each family's investment and their respective specialties, whether they provide armor, shields, or bows and crossbows. Each family seems to be rushing to contribute funds to feed the army. Even the food and grass are provided by each family. One month, I was in charge of three months, and the food and salary were collected for a year, so that Zhang Ji almost didn't use the military expenses given by Ying Zheng to complete the up-and-down renovation of the equipment of this guard army.
When this group of wealthy second-generation generals were not only kind-hearted and subsidized out of their own pockets, but also had the heart of a model worker who was willing to work for the company and enjoyed it, and sincerely thanked Zhang Ji for giving them a chance. Zhang Ji, who should be hung up because of his thick heart, also felt that his conscience was uneasy and he should come to offer condolences.
And I don’t know whether it’s because the medicine for bruises prescribed by the imperial doctors in the palace is too effective, or because these second-generation people have been trained under the earnest instruction of their elders since they were young. They have rough skin, thick flesh, and extraordinary resilience. He was in good health, but on the third or fifth day, they all said that his health was fine and that they would go to the military camp to train and maintain the zero-zero-seven work system.
However, the military camp is actually not far from their respective residences in Xianyang. As a guard army, their main duty is to guard the palace. Even if they are training, they have to worry about any emergencies, so the location of the military camp cannot be outside the palace. .
The area of the Qin Palace is very large. After all, the entire palace is centered on the main palaces such as Liuying Palace, Xianyang Palace, and Ganquan Palace. There are also many palaces built in various parts of the Wei River Basin, and this area can be called the scope of the palace. It is inside, so naturally some gardens are indispensable.
These gardens are collectively called Shangyuan, which means royal garden.
Yes, it was the Shanglin Garden that Liu Xiaozhu later rebuilt with great efforts. However, Liu Xiaozhu's Shanglin Garden was only the largest area in Qin's Shangyuan, and after Liu Xiaozhu's expansion, it expanded to a circumference of more than 200 meters. There are seventy palaces in it, spanning Chang'an, Huyi, Xianyang, Zhouzhi County, Lantian County and other places, and a giant garden encompassing eight rivers: Wei, Jing, Feng, Lao, Jing, Pou, Chan and Ba.
However, this Shangyuan was not built with excessive expropriation during the reign of Ying Zheng as stated in various historical materials such as "Historical Records", but had existed since the Zhou Dynasty.
In the twelfth year of Duke Xiao's reign, Duke Xiao of Qin moved the capital from Liyang to Xianyang and built the capital on the north bank of the Weihe River. Based on the Zhou Dynasty gardens on the south bank of the Weihe River - Lingtai, Lingmarsh, Lingxuan and Haochi, he planned, laid out and built Qin's gardens. , this is the earliest Shangyuan.
After King Huiwen ascended the throne, he further implemented the palace garden plan centered on Xianyang. On the south bank of the Wei River, construction of Epang Palace began.
"Sanfu Huangtu·Qin Palace" records: "King Huiwen first made his capital in Xianyang. He took huge materials from Qiyong and built a new palace, with Wei in the south and Jing in the north. He left the palace three hundred and rebuilt Afang, but it died before it was completed." "Afang Palace. It is also called Acheng. It was built by King Huiwen. It died before the palace was completed. The first emperor built the palace." "Yong Lu" written by Cheng Dachang of the Southern Song Dynasty records: Afang "was not a house, but a city first. When the city was completed, people called it Acheng."
During the period of King Zhaoxiang, Changyang Palace and Xingle Palace were built in Shangyuan and became the western boundary of Shangyuan.
"Sanfu Huangtu·Qin Palace" records: "Changyang Palace is located thirty miles southeast of Zhouzhi County. It was an old Qin palace. It was decorated in the Han Dynasty to prepare for travel. There are several acres of weeping poplars in the palace, because of the name of the palace; the gate It’s called Shexiong Temple. It was a hunting place during the Qin and Han Dynasties.”
Shangyuan, which can be used as a hunting place, is located on the vast Weinan Plain. Although there is the danger of tigers, leopards, bear bears, wild boars and other wild animals, it can also be used to practice the soldiers' shooting skills and supplement some meat. Moreover, the land here is flat and can also be used to train the riding skills of the cavalry. It can be said to be a perfect training place.
With such a good place to garrison troops, Zhang Ji would naturally not be polite.
As for the more than 25,000 people, according to the Qin military system, one-tenth, that is, 2,500 people will serve as Zhang Ji's direct bodyguards.
The remaining 20,000 people were composed of 3,000 cavalry, 200 chariots, 6,000 crossbowmen and 12,000 infantry.
The three thousand cavalry were divided into three groups. Li Xin, Qiang Yu, and Su Jiao each led a thousand cavalry and trained them as surprise cavalry. Among them, Su Jiao's one thousand cavalry were trained as a scout camp; six thousand crossbowmen were assigned to Tu. Sui and Ren Xiao each commanded half; the 12,000 infantry were commanded by Wang Ben, who had served as a captain under Wang Jian; Feng Wuze, who served as a thousand commander in the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army; and Yang Wengzi, commanded 4,000 each. ; The two hundred chariots were under the control of Shejian.
Although this distribution is still a bit mixed, it is also a helpless move.
After all, although Zhang Ji's recruitment method of only recruiting soldiers above Shangzhi could recruit many elite veterans, it could not recruit middle- and senior-level officers. These officers would not be transferred to other military camps at will.
Therefore, Zhang Ji had to promote Li Xin, Qiang Yu, Tu Sui, Ren Xiao and others to higher military positions with lower titles.
At the same time, they left it to them to discuss the distribution, and finally arrived at a distribution method that satisfied everyone but did not affect the combat effectiveness of the Guards Army.
For example, Li Xin and Qiang Yu provided many low-priced horses and soldiers who were good at riding, so they naturally led the two thousand sudden cavalry.
Therefore, Li Xin and Qiang Yu led the two thousand sudden cavalry.
Since the initial establishment of this guard army lacks enough mid-level and senior officers, it is the best way to distribute the troops by letting these second-generation generals form their own teams so that they are satisfied with each other's distribution.
However, this way of allocating military power, like the previous way of recruiting soldiers, cannot be imitated. It can only be adopted if the middle and senior officers under his command are all loyal generals who will become famous generals in history.
After spending nearly a month completing recruitment, distribution, arranging camps and training venues, Zhang Ji could finally return to Xianyang City and rest at home for a few days.
