Chapter 912 Reviewing the Praetorian Guard Troops
On the early morning of December 6th in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao, Xinping, and Liu Sansi boarded a medium-sized warship returning to the holy land of Yi Island, the territory of Yicheng. There are heroes like El Swamp who can speed up the sailing speed of warships, so Qu Mao finally returned to the lord's hut until around 4:00 am on December 7, the fourth year of Tianxuan.
On the medium-sized warship, although Qu Mao had been resting on the bed in the cabin, the ability to resist wind and waves was not strong during the voyage of the medium-sized warship, and Qu Mao did not fall asleep along the way.
Backing to the lord's cabin, Qu Mao went back to his bedroom on the third floor of the lord's cabin and fell asleep.
At around 6:00 am on December 7th in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao did not sleep in because he slept too late, but got up very early.
After washing up and arriving on the first floor of the lord's hut, Qu Mao had a quick breakfast in the dining room, and then walked straight to the backyard of the lord's hut.
Open the door of the backyard, and across a 6-meter-wide street is the office building of the Ministry of the Imperial Guard under construction by the Ministry of Infrastructure. Behind the construction site of the office building is a large open space, where countless soldiers of the Imperial Guard are practicing.
It seemed that they were worried that the training would disturb Qu Mao, who was resting in the lord's hut. The Imperial Guard soldiers did not shout when they were training in the open space, which made the atmosphere of the whole training feel a little weird.
Qu Mao quickly found Wei Qubing, who was in charge of training new soldiers of the Imperial Guard Army, and asked, "Master Wei, where is your minister Su Buqing?"
Wei Qubing, who was training Imperial Guard soldiers, turned his head and saw Shi Qumao asking a question. He immediately turned around and saluted and said, "My lord, brigade... Minister Su is training another batch of new Imperial Guard soldiers in Shengli Village, Yi Island. "
Qu Mao nodded and said, "The new Imperial Guard soldiers are only 80,000 in total. Do you still need to train separately?"
Wei Qubing said shyly: "My lord, the office building of the Imperial Guard Department has not been completed, and the barracks behind the Office Building of the Imperial Guard Department have not yet been prepared for construction, there is only an open space.
This open space can only accommodate 50,000 new fighters for training, and another 30,000 new fighters, Minister Su, have brought them to Shengli Village for training. There is also an open space in Shengli Village. "
Qu Mao said: "Su Buqing returned to the Holy Land in advance for nearly a week. I estimate that the new recruits of the Imperial Guard have trained for at least three to five days, so I want to review the results of your training. Can you arrange it?"
Wei Qubing immediately saluted and said: "Yes, my lord! The recruits trained here are 50,000 third-tier princess guards, and the other 20,000 fourth-tier guards and 10,000 fifth-tier palace guards are led by Minister Su. Training at Shengli Village, in fact, the recruits of the Imperial Guard have been training for 4 days and 3 nights.
The subordinates themselves are from the third-level princess guards, so they are very handy in training. Now the 50,000 third-level princess guard recruits should be able to reach the level you inspected as an adult.
But since you want to review the entire New Imperial Guard army, please give your subordinates two hours to prepare.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the new Imperial Guards will officially pass through the square at the front door of the Lord's Lodge one by one. At that time, adults are invited to board the courtyard gate of the Lord's Lodge to watch the ceremony. "
Qu Mao nodded and said: "You can still wait for two hours, you should discuss it with Su Buqing.
You can also prepare in advance, maybe we will let the Praetorian Guards conduct some formal battles in the near future. "
Wei Qubing's eyes lit up, and he quickly said: "Yes, my lord, please rest assured, my subordinates will go to Minister Su immediately."
After the guard went to Bing to say hello, Qu Mao returned to the lord's hut.
When it was almost 9 o'clock, Qu Mao walked out of the lord's hut and came to the front yard of the lord's hut. After several upgrades, there was an audience stand on the front yard of the lord's hut.
Climbing up to the viewing stand, you can have a panoramic view of the entire square, and the magic tower, tavern and other buildings on the opposite side of the square are also clearly visible.
At exactly nine o'clock, as expected, the Imperial Guard troops started to walk across the square in front of the lord's cottage from west to east.
The first thing that came into Qu Mao's line of sight was the 10,000 fifth-tier imperial guards led by Su Buqing on horseback. Looking at such a majestic and high-spirited army, even the fourth-tier guards standing guard at the gate of the lord's cottage It's all written with pride.
The 80,000 Imperial Guard recruits walked for three hours before they all passed by Qu Mao. Get down from the viewing stand at the gate of the courtyard, call Su Buqing and Wei Qubing to the dining room on the first floor of the lord's hut, and ask Su Buqing and Wei Qubing to sit down while asking the maids in the lord's hut to deliver three meals.
When the food was served, Qu Mao said: "Su Buqing, if you are asked to choose a unit of 5,000 Imperial Guard soldiers to go to the King City of Duke Liusu to replace the existing Royal Guards in Liusu, can you choose the loyal army? Troops whose speed is above 80%?"
Su Buqing said: "My lord, there is no problem with this at all. In fact, the imperial guards sent to Liusu Duke's King City to perform the task of the royal guard can also continue to train the loyalty of our soldiers.
The subordinate and Master Wei Qubing were hidden in Liuwang Principality by Master Sunan earlier, the purpose is to help Princess Su Yan restore the country.
Therefore, even if the loyalty of the guard soldiers sent to the Duchy of Liusu as the royal guard is less than 80%, in the Duke of Liusu, under the command of Her Majesty Queen Su Yan, they can continue to increase their loyalty. What's more, it is still very easy for the current Imperial Guard to recruit 5,000 soldiers with a loyalty of more than 80%.
Besides, there was no such unit as the third-tier princess guard before. It is a brand-new unit specially trained by the former king of the Liusu Principality for His Majesty Su Yan. "
Qu Mao’s heart moved, and he asked, “Oh? Can I still train my own troops?”
Wei Qubing said: "Yes, my lord, you can train your own arms, but you need to have uniform weapons and equipment, and a unified level, and then carry out the same training. After one or two years, as long as the main **** approves, you can form arms."
Qu Mao nodded, and did not continue on the types of arms, but said: "Su Buqing, Wei Qubing, since 5,000 soldiers with a loyalty of more than 80% can be selected, then you should choose a 5,000-man army as soon as possible and send them to The Tassel Duke's King City was replaced by the existing royal guard of the Tassel Duke.
After the existing Tassel Princess Royal Guards return to the Holy Land, I plan to give the Praetorian Guards a combat mission. "
Su Buqing and Wei Qubing immediately pushed their rice bowls aside, stood up and said, "Follow your orders, my lord, and swear to defend your glory to the death!"
