Chapter 76 The cavalry camp
Li Bin did not expect that after the prince Zhao Chang and Qin King Zhao Jian had a fight in his gambling hall, the emperor actually wanted to summon him.
Even though Li Bin had met many great figures in the Great Yan Empire, Li Bin couldn't help feeling a little nervous when he thought of his about to meet the Emperor of Great Yan.
Under the leadership of an eunuch in the palace, Li Bin entered the palace for a long time before he came outside a palace.
Then another eunuch came over and began to explain the etiquette of facing the saint to Li Bin. Then Li Bin stood outside the palace, waiting for the summoning of Emperor Dayan.
Not long after waiting, Li Bin was taken into the palace by the eunuch who explained the etiquette to him.
"Li Bin, a wise man, kowtow to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" Although Li Bin was unwilling to kneel down, when he met the Emperor of Dayan, Li Bin had to kneel down and kowtow respectfully.
"Haha, I have heard your name many times, get up quickly! I am very happy that my Dayan has another tiger general!" Emperor Zhao Zhe was in a good mood at this time, and he kept smiling when talking to Li Bin.
Li Bin stood up carefully and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Caomin is a little more powerful, and he is really not worthy of the title of Tiger General."
Emperor Zhao Zhe smiled and said, "If you are not a rare tiger general, the nine generals in the capital, and my five princes, how could you rack your brains to recruit you? The prince and the King of Qin almost started fighting!"
Li Bin said a little embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, Caomin didn't expect to do this. Caomin just couldn't bear to make his own business and didn't want to join the army."
Emperor Zhao Zhe did not know that Li Bin was telling the truth, and thought that Li Bin was still playing the same trick at the price. Emperor Zhao Zhe smiled and said, "If a tiger general like you does not serve the country, it will be the loss of my Dayan! Regarding your affairs, I discussed with some ministers and decided to appoint you as the battalion of the Imperial Guard Knight Camp, and his official position is the General of Xuanwei, the General of the Central Army of the Fourth Rank."
The words of Emperor Zhao Zhe made Li Bin stunned. What the hell is the Knight Camp? Why has he never heard of the Knight Camp?
In addition, according to the military system of the Great Yan Empire, the official position of the Imperial Guard was the fifth-rank General Yingyang Central Army General, and the fourth-rank General Xuanwei Central Army was already the deputy brigade of the Imperial Guard.
Emperor Zhao Zhe looked at Li Bin who was a little stunned and then explained: "The Imperial Guard Cavalry Battalion is a newly established heavy armored cavalry unit. Although it has only one battalion, it is directly under the Ministry of War, just like the various guards of the Imperial Guard."
After pausing, Zhao Zhe continued, "I have high hopes for the Knight Camp. I hope you can train the Knight Camp into the sharpest sharp knife of my Dayan and pierce the enemy's heart on the battlefield! Li Bin, do you dare to take on this important task?"
In fact, before Li Bin was summoned to the palace, he was worried that he would not be able to escape this time and would be sent directly to the newly formed imperial guards by Emperor Dayan. He was just not sure which prince he would be sent to.
Now that he heard that Emperor Zhao Zhe asked him to be the battalion of the Imperial Guard Cavalry Camp, Li Bin couldn't help but feel moved. If he had to join the army, the battalion of the Imperial Guard Cavalry Camp should be the most suitable position for him.
Thinking of this, Li Bin immediately knelt down on the ground again, "Your Majesty, Caomin is willing to give it a try!"
Emperor Zhao Zhe nodded slightly, and the smile on his face became stronger, "You can call yourself a minister in front of me in the future, just be calm! By the way, I heard that you have seven grassland horses and eleven Anpu horses in your hand?"
Li Bin's heart was tense. Could it be that the emperor was also thinking about his BMWs?
"Your Majesty, I do have seven grassland horses and eleven Anpu horses in my hands, but they are all distributed to the grass people... and to the family soldiers under my command."
Emperor Zhao Zhe sighed and said, "The grassland sky horse should be the best war horse for forming heavy armored cavalry, but the grassland sky horse is too precious, so the Anpuma has become the most suitable war horse for forming heavy armored cavalry. However, the Anpuma is very expensive. I can only say that I can buy as many Anpumas for the Knight Camp as possible. If it really doesn't work, I can only use other war horses instead."
When Li Bin heard that the emperor was not thinking about his divine horses, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, a pair of well-made vests must weigh more than 200 kilograms. If the number of Anpuma is not enough and other war horses are chosen instead, then you must choose a heavy-bearing war horse. It is better to have a poorer war horse in other aspects, but the weight of the war horse must not be less than 500 kilograms."
"Don't worry, I will try my best to build a cavalry camp armed to the teeth. By the way, the internal organization of the cavalry camp is different from other battalions of the imperial guards. It can be under ten teams. The elite troops drawn from the soldiers of various governments and recruited good families can be selected first."
Each battalion of the Imperial Guard has five teams under its jurisdiction, each team has five gangs under its jurisdiction, each gang has five gangs under its jurisdiction, and each gang has ten gangs under its jurisdiction. If the officers at all levels are included, the total force can even be close to 2,700.
After Li Bin walked out of the palace, he felt a little dizzy. He held the waist sign and official seal in his hand, and looked at the black military official uniform on his body. He still felt a little joy in his heart. Could it be that he still had an official addiction?
In fact, what Li Bin didn't know was that his cavalry camp was the product of compromise between the Thirteen Generals and the Emperor.
After the formation of ten new inner guards, the thirteen generals united to attack Jinluo as the reason, hoping that the original forty-nine guards of the imperial guards would each add another brigade.
You should know that the addition of one brigade to each of the forty-nine guards is almost equivalent to the establishment of another ten fifth brigades of the inner guards, which will make the total force of the imperial guards of the Great Yan Empire reach about 1.64 million, which will further increase the military expenditure of the Great Yan Empire.
The total tax revenue of the Great Yan Empire last year was 40 million taels of silver. If the scale of the imperial guards reached 1.64 million, the annual tax revenue of the Great Yan Empire could only be used to support the imperial guards, and it might not be enough.
The emperor Zhao Zhe and the civil servants headed by the three prime ministers of the Secretariat were of course unwilling to make ends meet the treasury, but the Thirteen Generals had a very firm attitude this time. If they wanted to attack Jin Luo, it would not be enough to just form ten new inner guards. They had to add one brigade of troops to each of the forty-nine guards.
The reason why the Thirteen Generals' attitude is so firm is that the treasury of the Great Yan Empire is currently very abundant, and relying solely on the reserves of gold and silver in the treasury can support 1.64 million imperial guards for at least twenty years.
