Chapter 1925 Changing Equipment Again
The Six Guards of the Northern Yamen are also called the Six Armies of the Northern Yamen, including the Left and Right Yulin Army, the Left and Right Longwu Army, and the Left and Right Shenwu Army.
It was an imperial army established by Li Shimin in the early Zhenguan period.
This army was different from other armies of the Tang Dynasty in that it was not a military system but a recruitment system.
All weapons and equipment are provided by the state, and they only need to concentrate on protecting the emperor and being loyal to His Majesty.
They don't have to go home to farm and can only train in the army, so the combat effectiveness of the Six Guards of Beiya is much stronger than other imperial guards.
Xue Rengui wanted Li Shen to borrow troops from Li Shimin, and the troops he wanted to borrow were the emperor's personal troops. This was simply a joke.
Normally, in order to avoid suspicion, these princes would not have any dealings with the Northern Ya Imperial Guards, let alone borrow troops to protect their own property.
"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intention. I believe that if we want to achieve the goal of keeping it secret and maintaining safety, we can only do so by borrowing troops from Your Majesty.
Especially the important Academy of Sciences and the paper mill. The paper mill has been coveted by the noble families for a long time, and there have been incidents of robbers attacking the paper mill before.
Although the Academy of Sciences is very important to us, the things in it have never been displayed to the outside world.
Seeing that all our gunpowder enemies are dead, the noble families didn’t know we had such a killer weapon.”
Seeing how nervous Li Shen was, Xue Rengui spoke up to explain for Li Shen.
Xue Rengui believed that the prince's six commanders would not be able to achieve both safety and confidentiality.
Only the Royal Guards can do that.
Li Shen shook his head:
"Rengui, what you said does make some sense, but have you ever thought about it? If we use your majesty's imperial guards to defend
It will definitely attract a lot of people's attention.
They would be curious about why the Northern Yamen’s imperial guards were used to guard these properties and what secrets were hidden inside.
This will attract some people's investigation.
Our Prince Ji's Mansion is too eye-catching. Any slight disturbance will attract countless attention.
And to be honest, it may not be easy to borrow troops from my father first. You know, they are the imperial guards, and we don't even have time to avoid them.
Even if I can borrow it, the price I pay will not be small. I am very poor now."
Li Shen was too embarrassed to say that his father would seize this opportunity to rip him off.
In the past, he thought his father was a good emperor who worked diligently and loved his people, and worked until midnight every day.
He was also particularly frugal. In order to save money, he would release some of the eunuchs and maids in the palace every year.
But for some reason, after he became rich, Li Shimin changed. He became petty, calculating, and stingy.
He is no longer the good father who regards money as dirt, but has become a profit-driven and profit-obsessed father.
Sometimes he wanted to yell to his father, "You've changed."
Xue Rengui naturally understood what Li Shen said. Could it be so easy to borrow the imperial guards from His Majesty?
It was because of Li Shen's current status with the emperor that Xue Rengui made this suggestion.
If it were someone else, wouldn’t he be beaten to death if he went to borrow the imperial guards?
"Your Highness, why don't you go ask His Majesty?" Xue Rengui said carefully.
"What? Can you lend me some imperial guards?
Believe it or not, you will be severely beaten after I finish speaking.
My injury has not healed yet, so you should wait for my help."
Li Shen shook his head vigorously. He would not go. It would be painful if he went.
"My Lord, how about..."
"Okay, you don't have to say anything. I still think the prince's six rates are safer. At least it won't hurt your butt.
This prince will handle this himself." Li Shen interrupted Xue Rengui's words.
"Yes." Xue Rengui could only agree.
"By the way, how is the blade now?" Li Shen asked again.
"Your Highness, everything is normal. After some of the sharp blades retreated, the number of people has returned to normal."
Xue Rengui replied.
"That's good. You have to let me keep an eye on you this time. There must not be any more people here.
The king has told you that there are eyes in the guard camp, and no problems can occur.
Just pretend you don’t know about the two eyes you found, and don’t tell anyone. They won’t have any bad intentions towards me, so you can rest assured.
Keeping them might be useful in the future, right?
For example, the recent incident in Xizhou relied on them to pass on the news, didn’t they? "
Li Shen picked up his handkerchief and wiped his mouth, a smile appearing on his face.
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. I understand that only a few people know about this matter, and it has already fallen into the hands of Prince Ji’s mansion.
No one in the guard camp will know about this now."
Xue Rengui also laughed.
"Alas, it's a pity that the message was useless and did not achieve my goal. Now I think they already know that we know it."
Li Shen's smile disappeared and he sighed.
"Your Majesty, the sharp blade still needs to be equipped with new equipment, but the steel workshop has not yet delivered it."
Xue Rengui changed the subject.
"Changing equipment? Didn't we change it just before the New Year? It's only been over four months and you're changing it again. Do you think I run a bank?"
When Li Shen heard Xue Rengui say to change equipment, he became very excited and spoke loudly with an exaggerated look on his face.
Do you really think you run a bank and change your equipment every four months?
Xue Rengui felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Li Shen said. It was indeed a bit too much to change the equipment after just over four months.
The guard battalion is replaced about once a year and a half, depending on the intensity of the training.
The Tang Dynasty’s army would not replace its equipment for several years.
"Well... Your Majesty, please calm down. The training intensity of Queen Yuanzheng has increased." Xue Rengui explained carefully.
“Rengui, I have told you that the Blade does not participate in conventional combat, but only in disguised reconnaissance, spying on the enemy, assassination, and decapitation operations.
Just train these." Li Shen reiterated.
"Your Majesty, I also trained them this way, but assassinations also require martial arts training. They rarely go on missions,
There is a lack of actual combat experience, so I have strengthened this aspect a bit."
Xue Rengui had no other choice. Li Jian had too few opportunities to go on missions and had no practical experience. Xue Rengui could only ask them to strengthen their training.
"Alas, there is nothing I can do about this. It is a great blessing for Your Majesty to have a guard battalion. We should send them out as little as possible to avoid trouble.
Well, I will have someone notify the equipment department to give you equipment first, but you don’t need to strengthen your training in the future.
Just carry out the usual training. I will ask Dr. Sun to explain to them the structure of the human body. You and the other generals should go and listen.
Let Dr. Sun tell you which part of the human body is the most vulnerable and where you can kill with one blow. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the head.”
Li Shen sighed. He also understood Xue Rengui's difficulties. In order to keep the sharp blade combat-effective, he had to strengthen training.
There is no chance to go to the battlefield, there is nothing I can do.
