Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

"You guys received them too?"

"I got it. I don't know how to dry it at this time. That guy Xiaobao is already burning incense if he wakes up before noon."

"Black face! Are you coming over for a meeting too?"

Yuchi Jingde looked at this group of old guys, a little surprised, and waved his hands to deny: "No, I am going to the military camp to keep an eye on those new recruits. Why are you all here?"

Li Jing took out the letter sent to his residence yesterday and handed it to Yuchi Jingde: "His Majesty asked us to come over for a meeting. The appointed place is the Duke of E's Mansion. Please take a look at Xiaobao's hosting of the meeting."

Yuchi Jingde squinted his eyes and looked at the letter in his hand: "That doesn't make sense for me. Why didn't you send it to me? Xiaobao didn't tell me either."

Yuchi Baoqi walked out of his yard, and the generals looked at each other in shock, as if a ghost had appeared in broad daylight.

"Dad, why aren't you going to the military camp? No, why are you so scared of me?"

Qin Huaidao was also invited. The other second-generation sons had not yet been promoted to military generals. Only Qin Huaidao had the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Navy.

"Brother, why are you so early today? Are you my brother?"

Yuchi Baoqi stretched and said, "It's a little early. Today we are short on time and have a lot of work to do. It's good for both of us to gather early. Let's go to the tea room."

Yuchi Baoqi led the generals to the teahouse and saw Yuchi Jingde was still not going to the barracks: "Dad, are you just sitting there like a club?"

Yuchi Jingde immediately pretended to take off his shoes and unfasten his belt. Yuchi Baoqi screamed and ran towards the tea room in the mansion, while Yuchi Jingde was still cursing there.

"You little bastard, you'll open a dyeing factory if I give you two cents of color!"

--------------------------

The generals all sat down according to their respective military achievements in a tacit agreement, leaving a seat right in the middle of the court gate for Yuchi Baoqi.

Then they were surprised to find that in terms of opening up territory and wiping out enemy invaders, none of their old friends seemed to be as good as Qin Huaidao.

However, Qin Huaidao was sensible and chose a seat closest to the door. A servant from the Duke of E's mansion came over to pour tea and serve water. After Yuchi Baoqi gave a few instructions, the servant left. The Tianwei Army secret guards in the mansion directly surrounded the tea room.

Yuchi Baoqi stood up with the list in his hand and said, "Now we will call the roll. I hope those generals who hear their names please stand up and salute."

"Li Jing, Li Ji, Li Guangbi, Zhang Shigui, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong, Qin Huaidao, Qu Tutong, Zhai Changsun, Gongsun Wuda, Zhang Gongjin, Hou Junji."

"Hou Junji, Hou Junji! Where are the others?"

Li Jing reminded him, "Xiaobao, you sent Hou Junji to Sogdia to coach the Sogdian army. Have you forgotten? The generals with real power and leading troops are all here. The rest are either under our command or are like Jie Li, who has no real power and is just a soldier."

Yuchi Baoqi scratched his head. He didn't expect Hou Junji to be exiled to Sogdia so quickly. That's it. Now that everyone is here, let's get started.

Yuchi Baoqi asked all the generals to sit down and pulled down the map of the military regions of the Tang Dynasty that had been prepared from the wall of the tea room.

"The blue area is the territory that Datang currently nominally owns. The red area is the territory that Datang actually owns and controls, and has soldiers stationed everywhere."

"Finally, the yellow areas are the core areas of the Tang Dynasty."

"Here, the Himalayas are a natural barrier to the entire Tianzhu subcontinent. The northern border is connected to Mobei and Beidi, and the three places are already under our actual control."

"This means that on the entire world map, it is completely impossible for enemies to appear in the eastern area."

Li Jing raised an objection: "From the current point of view, it is indeed impossible for enemies to appear in the east, but one day other people's technology will develop, just like the warships we have in the Tang Dynasty. What if the enemy comes from the sea?"

Yuchi Baoqi pointed at Qin Huaidao with the pointer in his hand: "Huaidao, you are the commander-in-chief of the Navy. Please tell me."

Qin Huaidao stood up and said, "We will place the entire agricultural and industrial base in the Northland, and all the way up along the Northland, a large number of coast guards will be deployed along the coast of the Northland and the northern border."

Qin Qiong narrowed his eyes slightly: "Qin's Army and Qin's Guards?"

Qin Huaidao felt a little embarrassed. He had not figured out how to explain to his father that his own troops would be transferred to the coast police in the future.

Yuchi Baoqi noticed Qin Qiong's displeasure: "The Qin family defended the coastal defense for the Tang Dynasty. How will the Qin family be evaluated in future generations?"

Before Qin Qiong could say anything, Cheng Yaojin had already started slapping his thighs, muttering under his breath: "Damn it, what a fucking loss! These two bastards can't even swim, what a fucking loss!"

Qin Qiong's stubborn mind suddenly came to an end. Let's not talk about anything else, just this good job of guarding the coastal rear, it is not possible to get it even if you beg for mercy, why would he be unhappy now that it is given to him for free?

Yuchi Baoqi saw the change in Qin Qiong's expression, so he stopped talking about this topic and started the main topic of today: "All the forewords have been completed, and now we will officially start the disarmament and reform meeting."

"First: For all the generals attending the meeting, your pro-army troops can retain up to a thousand people as a guard camp to protect you and your family's daily safety."

"Second, the soldiers of the right age in your army can take part in the Tianwei Army's test. Those who pass can join the Tianwei Army."

"Non-commissioned sergeants, gray-haired sergeants or sergeants who are over forty years old, after study and assessment, obey the arrangements and go to various places to become local people's public security officers."

Cheng Yaojin raised his hand, and after getting Yuchi Baoqi's approval, he asked: "Second brother Qin and I have always been responsible for the guards of the imperial city. What about the guards of the imperial city in the future?"

"The imperial city guard will be directly assigned by the Baiqi Division to the Baiqi. The patrol mission of the Imperial City will be the same. The Baiqi Division will expand its recruitment into the Baiqi Special Police Team."

"Any other questions?"

Li Ji stretched out and said, "It's okay not to lead the army anymore. My body has suffered enough over the years. It would be good to go back and retire."

Yuchi Baoqi sneered: "Uncle, what are you thinking about? The positions of commanders of various military regions have been vacated for you. You not only have to lead the troops, but also the Mighty Army of Heaven."

"what!"

Li Jing stood up immediately. After realizing that he had lost his composure, he quickly sat back down, stroking the cover of the teacup in his hand to cover up his embarrassment.

In fact, it is not just Li Jing. All the generals who can hold a meeting at this table do not want to lead the Tianwei Army. Leading such an army can be said to be something they can only dream of.

Qu Tutong was excited but still very calm: "Your Majesty, you know there have been a lot of rumors in the army recently. If the disarmament is officially announced... I'm afraid it will be difficult for the soldiers below to pass it."
