Tang Ping thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty can change the order a little bit, that is, how much military merit can be recommended for a child to join the army, so as to reduce the number of children among such veteran clans."
"But at the same time, their treatment can be improved. For example, if these children join the army, they can choose a relatively more prosperous area."
To put it bluntly, it is the same as the imperial guards of many dynasties were served by the sons of nobles.
If your ability is low, but your loyalty is guaranteed, then just defend in a place where the probability of war is relatively low.
In the border areas, it is better to let the troops with stronger combat effectiveness go.
"Or we should raise some standards during recruitment. Now the people of Tang Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment. The improvement of people's living standards will definitely bring about the improvement of physical fitness. Our recruitment standards should also be raised accordingly."
"Is there any more?" Li Shimin asked.
"The other is to increase the intensity of military training. We can hold some confrontations such as military competitions to increase the enthusiasm of all soldiers in the army. The best soldiers can meet His Majesty or be awarded honors by His Majesty, etc."
Li Shimin's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea! Are there any others?"
Tang Ping scratched his head: "We can also hold an exercise between various military regions in a few years, and then give some preferential treatment to the winning military region. Soldiers must be bloody and have the aura to not be second to others."
After Tang Ping said this, the generals below became a little excited.
They are now in charge of each military region respectively, and everyone has a feeling of competition.
But in this military matter, without a formal battle, how can we know who is strong and who is weak?
The military region exercise in Tangping was very suitable for them. Whether it was a mule or a horse, it was clear who was strong and who was weak.
"Okay!" Li Shimin lined up the tables: "The recruitment of new soldiers next year will be as you said. There is no war in the military regions on the left and right now, so it would be better to choose a day and start preparing for military competitions and military region exercises from now on. !”
"Ping Guogong, for this military region exercise, how many people from each military region are suitable?" Yuchi Gong asked.
"A military region would have about five to eight thousand people." Tang Ping calculated. According to the current configuration of the Tang Army, basically five to eight thousand people would be able to have a complete system.
"As for the whole-army competition, we can first make a list and select one person from each platoon to participate in the company's competition. Then, the battalion and regiment levels will finally conduct exercises in the military region and at the same time outside Chang'an City, the entire army will be held. The final of the competition was given to me."
Tang Ping said: "I have prepared a project for a big competition, and you can send it to various military regions."
He took a piece of paper directly from Li Shimin's desk, checked the information, and wrote it down.
There are mainly two categories of competitions: military skills and physical fitness.
All the generals of the Tang Dynasty nodded after receiving it, and some even had suitable candidates in mind.
In fact, many of the more powerful soldiers were basically selected by the generals of the Tang Dynasty to be part of their own personal regiments.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this method can also be used to select some leftovers from the grassroots army.
Li Shimin gave an order, and these generals also had to return to their military areas to prepare.
And Tang Ping became a favorite.
"Ping Guogong, let's go. I'll take you to the East Vietnam Military Region. Isn't that your wife's home?" Cheng Zhijie was the first to come over and put his arm around Tang Ping's neck.
"Tang Ping, our friendship can't be justified if you don't go to my place to hang out, right?" Duan Zhixuan also came over. He is now in charge of the Northeast Military Region.
"Duan, what do you mean? You and Tang Xiaozi have a good relationship, but we are not good?" Cheng Zhijie said dissatisfiedly when he saw someone else coming to cut off Hu.
"Hey, it's really like this!" Duan Zhixuan said proudly: "Tang Ping and I fought together and killed enemies back to back. After all, we have stirred things up in the same pot, which is not something you can compare to."
Tang Ping is the leader of the two, and I didn't say I would follow you to your military area. Why did you just come here just to care about your own business?
At this time, Li Shimin coughed: "Don't argue with any of you. Tang Ping is directly in charge of the Chang'an Military Region."
Only then did these people remember that Li Shimin had always been in charge of the Chang'an Military Region.
"Your Majesty, this is unfair!" Cheng Zhijie was the first to jump out and object.
"Yes, it's unfair!" Yuchi Heitan, who always quarreled with him, also shouted: "It's so unfair to let Duke Ping be in charge of the Chang'an Military Region."
Although the other people didn't say it, they all meant it.
"What's unfair?" Li Shimin rolled his eyes at them: "Aren't you just afraid that Tang Ping will use those modern technologies? I told him that modern technologies are not allowed to be used this time."
Hearing what Li Shimin said, several other people looked at each other before agreeing.
Your Majesty can't just leave immediately. He really needs a general to lead the Chang'an Military Region. In terms of status, Tang Ping is a suitable candidate.
Tang Ping didn't expect to be tricked into it, but it was quite interesting when he thought about it, so he agreed.
The other generals wanted to return to the military regions under their jurisdiction, but Tang Ping was much more relaxed. The Chang'an Military Region was stationed just outside Chang'an City.
After thinking about it, he went back to modern times and found Gou Shaoqun: "Young Master Gou, here comes the work."
Gou Shaoqun perked up as soon as he heard this. He had been feeling bored recently, so he hung up the phone after hearing Tang Ping's words and rushed over.
"Tell me, Brother Ping, what are you going to do? Are you going to attack Europe?"
"Hit Europe?" Tang Ping rolled his eyes at him: "Now all the nobles in Europe are working for me to make money, why should I beat them?"
"The Tang Dynasty is going to hold a military competition and a confrontation exercise between various military regions. Didn't you say you wanted to get some new materials last time?"
"Confrontation exercise? A competition between the entire army?" Gou Shaoqun was shocked.
Although Gou Shaoqun followed the entire battle during the last war with the Arab Empire, he did not go to many places and therefore did not take pictures.
So in the end, although the reputation was very good, he still felt a little regretful and felt that he did not create the best ancient war scenes.
This time is a new opportunity.
"Then wait, I'll take the guy with me and let's go!"
"Don't panic, don't panic!" Tang Ping stopped him: "I have something I need your help with this time."
"Okay, you say."
Tang Ping said: "You also know that firearms and weapons have become more popular in the Tang Dynasty. They will definitely be used during exercises, but real firearms cannot be used, so we have to find some substitutes."
"It's easy!" Gou Shaoqun said, "Let's just get a batch of laser guns for real-life CS."
"Huh? Are they all so advanced now?" Tang Ping hasn't played these games in modern times for a long time. He didn't expect that even real-life CS players would start using laser guns?
