"Don't hide it from Uncle Shi, there is something to do with it." Zhu Wanchun pondered for a moment, and then decided to tell the truth.

"No wonder."

After hearing about some of Min Yuanqi's deeds, Ying Tingji said with a smile: "This person was originally a broken household, trying to bring a group of poor banner troops to a hundred households, first open up the salt sales road, then dig the salt pond, and then train the troops to enrich their own strength, and then have the feat of breaking the attack on the enemy." The various relationships in this are linked one by one, as long as this Min Yuanqi has a link that is not well considered, I am afraid that this person is the one who is killed now. It's no wonder that Young Brother Zhu attaches so much importance to this person, this person seems to be a capable person, both civil and military, and his luck is not low, he is quite risky, and people with a little lower luck are afraid that they will fail a lot. In this case, even if I can't help the young brother today, when this surname Min rises in the future, maybe I will have to rely on him. With this favor today, he will have to repay me in the future. ”

Ying Tingji is mostly joking, in terms of Shi Kefa, who he is now attached to, he is almost the first person in this #fastest# dynasty. Originally, the Nanjing Military Department Shangshu was the most powerful one among the six Shangshu, second only to Beijing's Ministry of Officials in terms of power in the country, and then the cabinet elders, in addition to a few top nobles, Shi Kefa was above these people, if you barely counted, about a few eunuchs in the inner court were above it, but if the Jingshi was broken, this generation either surrendered or rebelled, or died as rumored to be martyred with the lord like Wang Chengen, and the rest were trapped in the palace, and it was not worth mentioning.

Shi Kefa is already the first person in the Ming Dynasty, in the hearts of many people, if the new monarch is supported to rebuild the cabinet, he will definitely be the best candidate for the first assistant, although Ying Tingji does not respect Shi Kefa very much, and even faintly looks down on Shi Kefa's power and strategy, but ask him to change the court to attach to a martial artist, even if the power of the martial artist in this troubled era is faintly and quickly suppressed, this is still an impossible thing.

"The little nephew has already contacted the Min family before coming here," Zhu Wanchun said with a smile: "Now Huaiyang Dao is reviewing the matter of killing the bandits, and once it is verified, it will be reported to the governor of Fengyang, the governor, and directly reported to Shi Butang to know." How to reward the merits, when the time comes, Uncle Shi will have to follow and say a few good words. ”

"It's just a trifle." Ying Tingji smiled and said, "As long as no one gets in the way, it is inevitable that the merit will be awarded to the commander." ”

There is no word "palm print" in Ying Tingji's words, but fortunately, Min Yuanqi is not asking for the position of palm print commander.

In this situation, the guard post is close to withdrawing from the stage of history, and the battalion system will completely replace the guard system, and even the battalion system will be replaced by the feudal town system in which the generals actually control the military power.

At least in Shi Kefa's mouth, it was clearly said that the words of setting up the four feudal clans to defend the river defense were what he personally said.

More than ten years ago, the command of the military general and the guard post was to determine the rank, and it was symmetrical with the rank of the battalion soldiers. Now that the battalion system has completely replaced the guard system, there is no need for additional titles.

A third-rank guard commander, just a false title, even if the Chinese military governor who adds a second rank knows the same thing, it is all idle business.

If the beheading of the fifty levels of the main general during the Jiajing period is a great achievement, Min Yuanqi's promotion is not worth mentioning at all, even if no one takes care of it, the promotion and appointment are inevitable.

It's a little difficult to get the palm print, but fortunately, Min Yuanqi is not here, what's the use of having the palm print of Dahewei now? The essence of Dahewei is near Huai'an Mansion and Fucheng, and now it is also the center of gravity of the garrison of Shandong guest soldiers, with his current strength, to grab Huai'an Mansion with Liu Zeqing?

"Can you give the battalion a position?" Zhu Wanchun still wanted to fight, and said: "With the strength that Brother Min has mastered, it is almost the same to give him a guerrilla general, and he can give him a capital division at the worst." ”

"You can give it a try, but it's not good to pack a ticket for my brother." Yunti Pass is not mainly a strategic place and a key point of transportation, whether it is a rogue or a rebel soldier or a Eight Banner soldier, it is impossible to make a detour of hundreds of miles to fight a seaside tidal flat.

Since it is not to charge, there is no need to set up a garrison battalion, even if there are bandits attacking, judging from the performance of the guards this time, it does not matter whether to set up a battalion or not.

Ying Tingji wanted to take advantage of the silver, but he used his reputation, power, and Shi Kefa's trust to forcibly push Min Yuanqi to the position of general of the battalion, after all, it was still too ugly.

"Late life understood." Zhu Wanchun didn't force it, this time he went to Nanjing to communicate with Min Qiande beforehand, it was nothing more than a front station and bribing some people to build up the momentum first.

Then Min Qiande took the approved head to Nanjing to report his merits, and he had to push Min Yuanqi's official position to the position of commander of Wei or commander Tongzhi.

With the martial arts of the third or fourth grade, it is not difficult to master the entire Yunti Pass.

"And Shi Gong won't really get involved too deeply in this matter." Ying Tingji explained: "The Nanjing Military Department is responsible for the big place, presumably Brother Zhu also knows, although the beheading of nearly a thousand levels can be called a big victory, but in the end it is just an ordinary pirate village bandit, if it is really a decent reward and reuse, the soldiers leading the troops in front are afraid that they will be unhappy, Shi Gong will not do such a thing, if it is forced, it will be counterproductive." ”

Zhu Wanchun hugged his fists and said: "What Uncle Shi said is the right thing to do, but it is a late life that is not well considered." ”

Ying Tingji is worthy of being a top smart person who is a staff member next to the Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department, and he is at least one of ten thousand in several aspects in the Ming Dynasty can be examined, the first is memory, followed by comprehension, and then he can not lack perseverance, his mind is smart, erudite and strong memory is the foundation, he can comprehend the meaning of the sage's subtle words, and then choose the appropriate article format from the time of Cheng Mo Fan Wen, comprehension is indispensable, and no matter how smart, how outstanding the comprehension, perseverance is the most basic foundation.

No matter the cold winter or the scorching summer, no matter what happens outside the door, the pen is constantly cultivated, the recitation is non-stop, you have to have such perseverance, from the child to the show, and then to the lifter, Jinshi, this road is passed.

Among the Jinshi, some people are good at reading but not worldly affairs, and some people are not only good at reading, but also human spirits, and this Ying Tingji in front of him should be one of them.

"This kind of thing mainly depends on Huaiyang Dao, at most, it is a trivial matter to go to the governor of Fengyang and to the governor's desk." Ying Tingji saw Zhu Wanchun's admiration, and said with a gentle smile: "Ma Yaocao, the governor of Fengyang, led a few general soldiers to fight many times last year, and the soldiers were tens of thousands or more than 100,000 people, and more than 1,000 village bandits were killed, even this Fengyang governor is afraid that he can't be alarmed......"

"Late life understood."

Although Zhu Wanchun has a little regret, but with the help of Ying Tingji, with the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, it can be regarded as a heaven-to-heaven, and then as long as the relevant local officials report their merits, Min Yuanqi, the official position of a commander or commander of the Great River Guard, will finally not be able to run away.

Although it is not a palm print command, and the guard officer is not worth much, but think about it carefully, Min Yuanqi was still a test hundred households in the first month, and now it is only April, in just a few months, he has found a source of money, trained a strong army, from a trial hundred households to a deputy thousand households, and now at least he can get a command Tongzhi, the speed of this promotion is so fast that there is nothing to say, although the Min family has a good family background, and it cannot be compared with the family of the prince and the general, this result is already quite good.

……

"You're doing a good job, second brother." In the inner room, Zhou Lianggong had already gone to the big red official robe, changed into a cyan robe, and wore a pure yang scarf.

I have to say that Zhou Lianggong in Huaiyang Road is not very ambitious, and even very suppressed and excluded.

After Ma Shiying came to power, he suppressed Zhou Lianggong even more, which was also one of the reasons why Zhou Lianggong was the first to surrender when Duoduo went south.

Of course, no matter what the reason is, Zhou Lianggong must have no integrity.

This is also the Qing court will use this person as a firefighter, where it is needed, where it is needed, this person's ability is first-class, but the character is not recognized by the ruler, and although the Manchu Qing is quite strong politically, but because the basic plate is the eight banners that started by force, the vigilance and restrictions on civil officials are also quite obvious, in the early to middle of the Qing Dynasty, it is extremely difficult for Han civil officials to be promoted, and the governor of the world is either a Manchurian nobleman with military merits, or he is also a slave of the Han military banner, which is considered to be believed. Except for the Eight Banners Han Army, even if it is a worthless Marquis to a viscount baron, there are very few Han civil officials who can get knights.

Of course, Zhou Lianggong couldn't think of his later encounters and grievances at this time, he had been wronged enough before.

What Zhou Liangmin saw and heard in Dahewei Yunti Pass can be regarded as opening up the second pulse of appointment and supervision for Zhou Lianggong.

"I can't ......stretch here," Zhou Lianggong sneered: "It's not that Ma Yaocao has generals and soldiers at hand, but I am a bare pole platform, Xuzhou still has three battalions of soldiers, but I don't have half a battalion of soldiers here, and now in this situation, there are no generals under him, and I really don't make a fart sound." ”

The Zhou family was born in a Kaifeng family, and Zhou Lianggong studied under the Confucian Zhang Mingbiao, it is said that he must not spit dirty words like this, and he is really angry that the little daughter-in-law is enough, and he can't help but vent his emotions at this time.

Zhou Liangmin said with a smile: "The Min family will definitely go to Nanjing, I heard that the Zhu family in Huai'an has a deep friendship with Min Yuanqi, and the Zhu family buys war horses and armor weapons for him everywhere." With the ability of the Zhu family, it is not difficult to open up the joints of the Nanjing Military Department. However, in the end, we have the final say in Huaiyang Dao, not anywhere else. As long as the elder brother makes up his mind, the younger brother can play back and forth in two days, as long as the negotiation is completed, we will also have the soldiers and horses who have been trusted, and the eldest brother will not say that he will raise his eyebrows in the future, at least he can straighten his waist and be this platform, which is much stronger than now. ”

"Well, well, why more?" Zhou Lianggong has always been shrewd and capable, never hesitated to make decisions, and immediately said: "This matter is beneficial to us and the Min family, and I have inquired about the Min family myself, and it is considered kind in the family of Dahe Weijiangmen." Behind this Min Yuanqi is Min Qiande, this person and the commander of the guard have come to visit him as a brother, and he has said a few words, and he is also a thick and honest person! As long as the negotiation is settled, in terms of grain and grass, ordnance, armor, although Huaiyang Dao is not rich here, it is not difficult to help him organize a battalion of soldiers! ”

"Then I'll go." Zhou Liangmin is also not afraid of hard work, grabbed the big hat on the table at the moment, and said with a smile: "If things are harmonious, we can stand in Huaiyang." ”

"It's nothing more than Taizhou, Yancheng, and Er." Zhou Lianggong shook his head and said: "Yangzhou is a place valued by the Shi Pavilion Department, although the strength of several general soldiers is not strong, they have been stationed in Yangzhou New City and the old city one after another. Huai'an Prefecture, with Shuyang, Suqian, Anle, Guannan and other counties, now seems to be Caozhou Liu's territory, we also want to get involved, so we will pass the Huaihe Cloud Ladder to Yancheng, and then to Taizhou This place to hold, there are soldiers on hand, can collect money, food and soldiers, and sit and watch the changes in the situation is a good result. ”

Zhou Liangmin's heart tightened slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "What does the eldest brother mean?" ”

"Most of the emperor was martyred." Zhou Lianggong said in a sad tone: "My emperor is diligent in his work and loves the people, but he ended up like this." Dead since ancient times. The kings of the country are all the people of the Emperor, Qin II, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, although this generation is the emperor, but the loss of virtue leads to the death of the country, reading history often has a sense of retribution in the way of heaven is not lost. But my emperor, I shouldn't have ...... like this."
