Chapter 26: Worship the general, set up a brocade guard
Zhangtai Palace, the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, there is a person outside the palace who calls himself Ji Gang, and he has something important to visit you. The guard knelt down on one knee and said.
When Ying Zheng heard this, he put the brush on the Beacon Mountain: "Xuan him in." β
Soon, a middle-aged man of medium stature and a short beard walked into the imperial study.
This person is full of gloom and arrogance.
He is the most powerful and ruthless commander of the Jinyi Guard in the Ming Dynasty - Ji Gang, the hand of death.
"Ji Gang greets Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"
Ji Gang knelt down, his head on the ground, extremely respectful, and even flattering.
Ying Zheng glanced at the middle-aged man and said lightly: "Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ji Gang said.
Ying Zheng said: "The widow is preparing to build the Jinyi Guard, are you willing to be the first commander?"
It's an inquiry, but it's unquestionable.
Poof!
"It's an honor to be able to share your majesty's worries!" Ji Gang knelt down and pressed his head to the ground.
This person is really like the information introduced, and he will please the master.
For the question of the king of Qin, others may answer, obey the king's orders, and the ministers are willing.
But Ji Gang's answer was the most comfortable for the king.
Ying Zheng said: "You follow the widow for the time being, and wait for the next court meeting, and the widow will announce the establishment of the Jinyi Guard!"
"No, Your Majesty!" Ji Gang stood up.
......
A few days later, Bai Qi and Meng Hu led 80,000 Qin troops and returned to Xianyang.
Tens of thousands of captives of the Wei State, as well as a large amount of heavy grain and grass seized, were all properly placed by Prime Minister Sima Yi.
The captives were scattered and escorted to various parts of the Qin state, either to build official roads, or to mine mines, or to ......
These people are strong laborers, and they cannot be wasted.
The people who migrated from Yucheng County of Wei were also assigned to various counties on the way from Hexi County to Xianyang, the national capital, and settled down in the local area.
Bai Qi and Meng Hu returned, and the King of Qin held a grand triumphal ceremony for them.
In the Battle of Hexi and the Battle of Yucheng, they made great contributions.
It not only solves the crisis for the country, but also expands the territory.
......
The next day, the morning pilgrimage.
Ying Zheng sat on the throne, and the emperor's majesty was fully displayed.
Prime Minister Sima Yi held the wat board in his hand and saluted to King Qin: "Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play!"
"Quasi-play!" Ying Zheng nodded.
Sima Yi said: "Bai Qi's envoy led the Qin army to win a great victory in Hexi and conquered Wei Yucheng County, making great achievements for Great Qin, please reward Bai Envoy and all the generals and soldiers who participated in the war!"
"What the prime minister said is very true, please Your Majesty reward Envoy Bai.
The minister is already old, and he is willing to let the virtuous.
Please ask Your Majesty to confer the positions of General and Lieutenant to Special Envoy Bai.
He will make Great Qin's soldiers stronger and make Great Qin's territory wider!"
Meng Yu also stood out of the court, his heart fist boxing.
After the Battle of Hexi and the Battle of Yucheng, he sincerely admired Bai Qi.
Meng Hu was not greedy for power, he felt that Bai Qi was more suitable than him to serve as a general and a lieutenant, commanding the soldiers and horses of the Great Qin.
The Qin army was in the hands of Bai Qi, so that it could better defend Great Qin.
When King Qin heard Meng's words, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
He knew that Meng Yu was loyal, but he didn't expect that the old general had such a mind, thought about the country like this, and was not greedy for power.
Lieutenant and general are the two highest positions in the Qin army.
If anyone can control it, it will be of great benefit to the development of his family, and he will definitely be able to become the Great Qin Wang Clan.
Bai Qi also looked at the old general Meng Hu with surprise but admiration.
The ministers also whispered.
King Qin stood up and glanced at the ministers holding the wat board.
The ministers shut up one after another, and the scene was silent.
They know that His Majesty has something to say.
Ying Zheng said majestically: "The prime minister's words are reasonable, and Bai Qi and all the soldiers should be rewarded." β
He looked at Meng Hu:
"Captain Montey is very old, and in the past, because there was no successor to the general, he could only be concurrently served by Captain Monta.
Now, the commander from the sky started in Qin, and the widow took back the position of general, and the position of captain is still held by the old general Menghu.
In the future, Captain Montei will sit in the royal capital, don't run around and fight anymore!"
Ying Zheng took back the position of general and prepared to give it to Bai Qi.
Taiwei is only the nominal supreme military commander, sitting in the temple, but in fact, when he goes out to fight, everything still depends on the general.
Meng Hu has worked hard and made great achievements, and it is more appropriate for him to hold the position of captain.
"Your Majesty is sympathetic to the old minister!" Meng Yu bowed.
The position of general was handed over to Bai Qi, and he was relieved and convinced.
King Qin looked at Bai Qi: "In this battle of Hexi and Yucheng, Bai Qiju has made great contributions and deserves to be rewarded." White up to listen to the seal. β
"The minister is here!" Bai Qi knelt on his knees.
Ying Zheng said majestically: "From now on, Bai Qi will be the general of the Qin State, commanding the Qin army, protecting the peace and security of all the people of Great Qin, and expanding the territory for Great Qin!"
"Minister, thank you, Lord Longen!" Bai Qi knelt again.
King Qin said: "Give Bai Qi, the general's seal, the general's armor, and the general's sword!"
Lang Zhongling took the big seal, armor and sword that had been prepared long ago and sent them to the new general.
Bai Qi took the tray and looked at the metal helmet, armor and bronze sword full of texture and dark luster, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his chest, and at the same time a heavy sense of responsibility.
King Qin continued:
"Seal the Captain of Montene, 10,000 households as food, and reward 10,000 taels of silver!
The rest of the soldiers who participated in the battles of Hexi and Yucheng were rewarded according to their military merits!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Meng Hu and the others bowed.
......
After dealing with the reward, Ying Zheng once again announced a major decision.
"Now the widow has decided to set up a new institution in Daqin, and its name is Jinyiwei!"
Jin Yiwei?
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but look at King Qin curiously.
Ying Zheng said majestically:
"Jin Yiwei directly obeys the orders of the widow and is not restricted by any organization.
Monitor the world for the widow, collect intelligence, and be responsible for the widow's guards, honor guards, etc.
Those who are disloyal to the widow can be arrested and interrogated, from the princes and ministers to the Li Min......"
After hearing the Qin King's explanation to Jinyiwei, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all shocked except for a few courtiers such as Bai Qi and Sima Yi.
King Qin set up this brocade guard, that is, on the head of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, a sword from Zhen Qin was hung at any time.
Once the sword falls, their lives are lost.
However, not a single one dared to object.
After a series of events such as the killing of LΓΌ Buwei and Chang Yu's recapture of power, the great victory in the battles of Hexi and Yucheng, and the pacification of the Bashu rebellion, the authority of Yingzheng reached the extreme.
The majesty is great!
Ying Zheng said: "Ji Gang listens to the seal!"
Discipline Outline?
The ministers were stunned again.
They had never heard of such a person in the Great Qin Royal Court.
A middle-aged man walked in from outside the hall, and his body was filled with the aura of a gloomy owl, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.
"Minister, Ji Gang greets Your Majesty!" Ji Gang knelt on the ground.
Ying Zheng said majestically: "Feng Jigang is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, with the rank of the third rank, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the commander of the Great Seal, the Flying Fish Suit, and the Embroidered Spring Knife!"
"Thank you, Lord Longen, long live, long live!" Ji Gang was excited when he heard this.
He will become a sharp blade in the hands of the King of Qin, and his power will tilt towards the government and the opposition, making the civil and military officials tremble.
Lang Zhongling took the official seal, flying fish suit and embroidered spring knife that were rushed out and sent them to Ji Gang.
Ji Gang took it and touched the long-lost flying fish suit, which was quite touching.
The courtiers looked at the eyes of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, full of respect and distancing.
However, Ji Gang doesn't care, there is only one person he cares about - King Yingzheng of Qin.
As long as he can get the appreciation and favor of King Qin, he has supreme power and can make hundreds of officials fearful.
The pilgrimage ends.
Ying Zheng left Bai Qi and Ji Gang alone.
