The pro-army, literally, is the empress's cronies' army, and she is the only one at her disposal.She lives deep in the imperial city, surrounded by many armies such as the forbidden army and Yulinwei, and the armed forces are already very strong, so why bother to bother and keep a private army from the imperial court, Ren Zhen did not expect this answer.He has been studying the Northern Tang Dynasty for many years, why he has never noticed the secret pro-army that Cao Yin said He stared at Cao Yin, and he was suspicious, "I don't believe it."
Forming an army is by no means easy, from recruiting soldiers, to military equipment, training camps, etc., it takes a lot of manpower and financial resources, and it is impossible to quietly avoid the sight of various departments of the imperial court and the military. ”It is extremely difficult to hide people's eyes and ears, hide from the world, and even hide from the Southern Jin Dynasty embroidery workshop.If Cao Yin hadn't talked about it tonight, he would have never heard of it.Cao Yin smiled bitterly, after knowing that the secret was leaked, it would be even more difficult to hide it from Ren Zhen.It seems that if he doesn't say it thoroughly, Ren Zhen won't let him take the grain away."
Yes, it is difficult to bypass the military, build an army from scratch, and hide it, but it is not impossible.After His Majesty came up with the idea, he summoned the three major imperial organizations to join forces to act secretly, do you think it can't be done" As we all know, the three major organizations of Snow Shadow Guard, Langya Pavilion and Purchasing Division are not subordinate to the imperial court establishment, they are independent outside the system, and they are under the direct command and dispatch of the empress.They acted according to orders, and the ministries of the imperial court had no right to intervene and interfere.Preparing a new army in their name can indeed eliminate a lot of trouble."
Snow Shadow Guard is responsible for recruiting people, and in the name of supplementing killers, he secretly draws elite soldiers from military camps from all over the country.Langya Pavilion is in charge of intelligence and finds a way to erase the traces.We buy the company, and we buy a military supply.Hou Ye should not underestimate the execution of our three divisions. ”Ren Zhen nodded.If the empress takes great pains to secretly accumulate a private army, then, as Cao Yin said, it is entirely possible to do this through the channels of the three major organizations and the rational organization of the division of labor.It's just that like a thief, he secretly touched Ren Zhen and groaned slightly, and said: "Even if what you say works, I still don't understand, if Your Majesty wants to cultivate an elite pro-army, it is directly righteous and bright, and let the military fully assist, there is no need to be mysterious and cause a lot of trouble." ”Cao Yin sat back in his seat and sighed, "There are some things that I only dare to say behind closed doors."
His Majesty ascended the throne, the surname of the country was replaced, and the old ministers who worked hard with the first emperor were obedient and subservient on the surface, but in fact, they may not really support Your Majesty.The three major adverse cases are ahead, how can Your Majesty not guard against it" Ren Zhen thoughtfully.Although Wu Qingyi reigns in the world, he is a thief and a widow and mean, and has never been able to conquer the hearts of the people, so he has to beware of the forces in the DPRK and China, and is afraid that the old forces will resurrect and restore the Tang Dynasty.To put it bluntly, it's because she is a woman, Si Chen, who violates the orthodox etiquette for thousands of years, and her name is not right.Without the true heart of the Scholar Clan, in desperation, she could only establish three major organizations, relying on these eagle dog minions, trying to create a high-pressure situation between the government and the opposition, and closely monitor the movement of people's hearts.And the secret pro-army took this idea to the extreme.The Snow Shadow Guard led by Xiao Tieumbrella is certainly very strong in combat, with only 800 people, and using them to resist a huge army is tantamount to using a mantis arm as a car.In other words, these small methods of assassination can only be used against officials and courtiers, and in the face of large-scale rebellion, they will not help.What the empress is most afraid of is precisely that all sides are against each other, and the whole world is fighting for martial arts.Once the military also loses control and defects, only the three major organizations will definitely not be able to help her cope with the turbulent situation.That's why she thought of taking advantage of the peace to take precautions and secretly train a pro-army first, so as not to alarm the court and the military, so that the world would not know about its existence.In the event of a drastic change and the most feared situation arises, she will be able to use a killer weapon to descend from the sky and deal a fatal blow to the rebels.When Cao Yin mentioned Beihai, the corners of Ren Zhen's eyes couldn't help but tremble, and many doubts suddenly opened up.In the imperial examination, Wu Daosi recited the ten major crimes in front of the empress, and issued a letter for Beihai County to discuss martial arts.Beihai's rebellion is clearly revealed.However, after that, the empress held back, not only did not take any action against Beihai, but also did not mobilize any troops, beware of the rebels who might be killed in the north at any time, and the situation was unknown.Before the expedition, the empress detained 20,000 tiger guards, and Ren Zhen felt that this number of troops was too small, and it was a drop in the bucket.Looking back now, it turns out that she has been hiding her hole cards all along, waiting for the traitor to be revealed, throwing herself into the net, thus uprooting the old party.That secret pro-army is very likely to lurk halfway from Beihai to Chang'an.On the other hand, after Wu Daosi made a big fuss in the court, everyone in the world paid close attention to the movements in Beihai and waited to see the excitement.Beihai County did not move, like a sleeping tiger, and did not show its claws for a long time.The empress's reaction was strange, and Beihai's intentions were equally confusing.Until tonight, Ren Zhen had some reminiscences.Beihai may have smelled the smell of danger and guessed that the empress was secretly killing him, so he wanted to brake quietly, and wait for the empress to hold back first, revealing her killing intent.After all, the empress not only had to guard against the North Sea, but also had to parry the strong enemy Southern Jin.As long as the southern front collapses, the Jin army drives straight in, and the situation is forced, her hole cards can no longer be hidden, and she must send troops to defend the Beijing division.At that time, the North Sea will take advantage of the fire to rob, which is the best fighter.Ren Zhen's mind turned sharply, and he instantly figured out these joints, and he was in a good mood.He felt lucky, fortunately Cao Yin came to grab food from him, so that he accidentally learned that there was a big son hidden in the corner of the chessboard.Otherwise, in the future, he will reveal his true heart and lead his troops to capture and kill Wu Qingyi, and without knowing it, he may really be yin by that pro-army.Cao Yin could see that Ren Zhen understood the meaning of his words, so he said: "Now that Beihai is about to move, the importance of that pro-army is not inferior to that of the army on the southern front.I am nominally raising food for the emperor, but in fact, just like you, I am also raising military food. ”Ren Zhen sighed, and asked casually: "How many people are in that army" Cao Yin's heart suddenly tightened, and he replied vigilantly: "Forty percent of the grain should be enough." ”Ren Zhen was noncommittal, and said jokingly: "You say, if I leak this military plane, what consequences will you bear" Cao Yin squinted his eyes, not intimidated by his words, and said coldly: "It's the same as you." ”Ren Zhen said with a smile: "But you are just a dog, unlike me, you have a lot of confidence." ”Cao Yin's face changed drastically, and he heard the unusual meaning in his words, as if he was facing a great enemy, "What do you mean" Ren Zhen rubbed his hands and said casually: "It's not interesting, I just remind you that in front of me, it's best to be honest, otherwise, you can't afford the consequences." ”Cao Yin was indifferent.Ren Zhen got up, walked next to him, leaned against the tea table and said, "Forty percent of the grain, it's not that I can't give it, I can even add some more."
However, you have to tell me how many people there are in that pro-army, and I will judge for myself how much food I need to give you. ”Cao Yin turned his head sideways, staring at him tightly, his face changing.Seeing this, Ren Zhen put his hand on Cao Yin's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother, can you not be mother-in-law, mother-in-law, should you let me write a letter to ask Your Majesty" Cao Yin's body shook suddenly, and replied in a hurry: "Don't let me tell you, that elite pro-army has a total of 70,000 people."
You know, there are not many soldiers, but "Before the essence could be exported, Ren Zhen's hand on his shoulder quietly raised and hit his temple.He immediately went limp and died instantly
