Chapter 894 Breaking the barriers
The flags were roaring, and Li Shimin was in a particularly good mood today. He said many words, and every sentence revealed the same information. I will use you, and your future is infinitely bright. Even with Li Mu present, these young lieutenants were unable to be excited. It is said that learning literature and martial arts and selling goods to the imperial family. In such an era, being recognized by the emperor is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of them.
Li Shimin was tired of speaking, and looked at Li Mu with unfulfilled feelings and said, "Li Mu, what else is there to do? You can continue."
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "The next thing is to distribute uniforms and wear epaulettes. If your Majesty is interested, he can wear them for the lieutenants himself. This will be their supreme glory."
Li Shimin was stunned, personally...
He looked at the people in the audience and his face looked a little ugly. If he had worn them one by one, he would not have finished it in a whole morning. Just as he was about to speak, a cheer suddenly sounded: "Long live your Majesty!"
The emperor personally wore a slap. Such an honor was never seen before. The captains were slightly stunned and then reacted, and then burst into cheers.
Seeing this scene, Li Shimin laughed again and said with great interest: "Okay, let me and the Marquis of Luoyang wear it for everyone."
Li Shimin thought to himself, let you dig a hole for me, so come together!
Such glory, even the generals watching the ceremony became popular, and they only regretted that they could not be born decades later and stood in the queue.
Immediately, Li Mu asked someone to bring a roster and began to read out the name of the lieutenant. The lieutenant who was called immediately got his crown and walked up to the platform step by step with heavy breathing, standing in front of Li Shimin and Li Mu. Li Mu was responsible for distributing the uniform, while Li Shimin picked up the lightweight ones and handed them over to the epaulette.
After taking these two things, the captain raised his hand and bowed loudly, "Long live Your Majesty! Ten thousand years of the Tang Dynasty!"
The voice was deafening, and Li Shimin had a new appreciation of the vitality of young people. Li Shimin couldn't help but think that these people's voices seemed to be rented, and they were really shouting like they were dead. I don't know how many days they could survive, so don't be hoarse.
The lieutenants left the line and returned to the team like a lantern, but the speed was not slow. Li Mu also explained to Li Shimin that the lieutenant who accepted the epaulette could be called "soldiers" in the future. Adding the word "soldiers" to the front of the soldiers was the first to be found in the early Tang Dynasty. In the past ideology, the sergeants and soldiers were of high class, and the soldiers had low status, and even worse than farmers.
Don’t underestimate this small change. This means that the warrior who had a low status in the past also had the opportunity to improve his status. Although it was only a small number of people, if you opened this hole, the future will be easier. When the barriers to class are broken, neutralization and assimilation will be a matter of time.
It took more than an hour to finish the ceremony of the seal. Li Shimin waved his hand tiredly: "It's all gone."
The lieutenants shouted, "Affect the order." But they still stood still.
