However, although he felt uncomfortable personally, he still had to be convinced. Wang Quan was stronger than him and was good at leading troops. If he was not the brigade commander, he would not even be able to shout out to his brothers in the brigade. In this aspect, he is not as good as Wang Quan or even Zhang Yu'an, so he has to accept it.
After Li Zheng comes, he will definitely pay more attention to personal abilities rather than military positions. A brigade commander like him who relies on flattering the previous captain will probably not be reused in the end, but he is still from the beginning. If Shuofang's elite, carefully selected from each army, is really demoted, where will his face go?
But now he doesn't care about that. He just needs to do what he can do first. All he can do now is prepare the training ground. As for the subsequent transfer issues, that is not something he has to worry about. Although he had heard Xiao Gao's words clearly with his sharp ears just now, Li Zheng had already arrived outside the door and specified that they should gather now, but since Wang Quan went to hold him back, he should be able to do it with his ability.
And he saw that Zhang Yu'an also followed, so there should be no problem. However, what he was more concerned about was what kind of guy the new captain was. He could actually be appointed by the superior Shuofang Jiedushi directly without accumulating military merit. Although the Jiedu Envoy does have this power, if the promoted captain cannot convince the public, he will still be suppressed and returned to the head soldier.
The military position of team leader can be said to be big or small. The reason why it is said to be big is that at least there are fifty people under his command, and he has a good salary. He is also a small officer, although he cannot be called like a captain. Although he was a general, many Tang soldiers were actually satisfied if they could become captains. The reason why I say small is because in the eyes of real officials and generals, the team is just a small role. In the Tang Dynasty, the trend of emphasizing culture over martial arts is very serious. After all, those literati have been studying hard for ten years. It’s not easy to get the honors. Those who have connections in Beijing may be able to find a seventh-grade county magistrate or county magistrate to transition to other places and slowly move up the ranks. Those who have no connections can only stay in Beijing until when If there is a vacancy for a junior official, it will be his turn. And what about warriors? I don’t know a single big character, but I can rely on my merits at the border to jump up. Those with a little bit of ability may be named Zhonglang General, and suddenly become a fourth-grade officer. The grade is high, but it is not at all Not respected by literati. In comparison, a mere team leader is not very eye-catching. There are millions of mercenaries in the world today, and a team leader who manages only fifty people is, to put it harshly, nothing more than trivial in the eyes of the high-ranking officials in Chang'an. That’s all.
He shook his head and quickly started working again. Let everything take its course.
…………
At the camp gate, Commander Wang Quan of the Second Brigade and Commander Zhang Yu'an of the Third Brigade each hurried to the gate with four soldiers. As expected, they saw Li Zhengzheng in military uniform chatting with the other remaining sentry. Well, after all, the handover procedures haven't been completed yet, so he still can't break into the scout camp.
Among the two of them, Wang Quan, who is naturally more capable and skilled, is the main one. He has served in the army in Shuofang for many years and is an excellent scout. He has led many people. Even Zhang Yuan once worked under him. However, the two of them got very close. But what made Wang Quan curious at this moment was not Li Zheng, but the three people beside him. One of them standing in front was a young man. He looked very ordinary in appearance and dress, and could not tell anything. abnormal. The two people behind are really interesting. Although they both look as young as that person, you can feel their well-developed muscles through their clothes, and the beast-like expressions in their eyes. Light, this feeling was something he had never experienced even when facing those barbarians. These two people were very dangerous, his intuition told him.
But they actually stood upright behind that seemingly ordinary person. Could it be... that he was the captain of the sixth team who came with Li Zheng today? Zhang Yu'an was immediately disappointed. He thought that Wang Zhongsi had personally arranged for some ruthless character to enter their scout camp. I'm afraid this was also a guy who came in through the back door. He would be transferred after a while. The two people behind him should be him. The escort. Huh, what do these guys think the military is? Is it a springboard for promotion and fortune? This is the Shuofang Army Scout Camp! If he wanted to go through the back door instead of other armies, why didn't Wang Shuai place him in other armies that were relatively safe, but why did he place him in the most dangerous scout camp? The two of them were puzzled.
However, although they felt uncomfortable, the two of them still managed to greet him with a smile on their faces, and said with a smile: "General, you can make the brothers wait easily! After Zheng Rong, the fat pig, left, brothers But we are all waiting for you to come and lead us."
In the current Tang Dynasty army, basically those with military positions above the rank of captain can be called generals, and many people like to be called that. Therefore, for those small soldiers, the rank of captain can basically be regarded as their military commander. The highest military position one can aspire to in one's career. As long as one becomes a general, anything can be accomplished.
"Don't do this to me! Didn't I ask him to notify you to gather? Why did you two come in person? Hurry up and finish the handover. I'm going to count the people now." Li Zheng pointed at the people following them angrily Xiao Gaodao behind the two of them, although he had known for a long time that due to the transfer of the previous captain Zheng Rong, the scout battalion chief officer was vacant recently, and Tang Wenzhong, who had been arranged before, could not convince the public, he did not expect that he could be so lax. Is it still the resolute scout camp from before? He originally wanted Ye Qingcheng to see how powerful the scout camp was, but now he just felt his face getting hot.
Wang Quan and the other two looked at each other and felt very embarrassed. However, after all, they had known Li Zheng for a while and had some understanding of his character. Although Li Zheng had not yet completed the handover, they were not willing to really To provoke this future boss.
"General, don't worry. I have sent people to get the seals and talismans that Captain Zheng prepared to give to the next captain before he left. He will be here soon. The brothers are gathering at the training ground, waiting for Captain Li to take inventory at any time. "
"Humph, that's pretty much it." Li Zheng's anger seemed to have finally dissipated.
Because he is a relatively rigid person and adheres to military regulations very much, he really will not step into the camp gate before completing the handover. Wang Quan took a fancy to this and came up with the way to delay time.
