Luo Cheng went out of Beihai and entered Qi County.

Along the way, the counties and townships they passed through, and the brothers of the former Left Fifth Army continued to hear about it. Although it has not been long since I took off my robe and returned to my hometown, it looks like the Chinese New Year is coming again.

But Luo Shuai called, and they all rushed immediately.

One, ten, hundred, thousand.

When Luo Cheng arrived at the foot of Changbai Mountain, there were as many as 1,000 old brothers of the Left Fifth Army who had gathered.

Zou Ping.

Shi Chai Xiaohe, the governor of Changbai Mansion, came to greet him with five hundred soldiers.

"It's too late."

Luo Cheng stepped forward and patted Chai Xiaohe's shoulder, "One year and two years, the family is thanks to you for taking care of it." ”

"It's the incompetence of the subordinates, the failure to do their duty."

"Don't talk about this, let's walk together."

Luo Cheng passed through Zou Ping and the Changbai Military Mansion without entering, and continued to move forward.

Twenty miles away from Licheng of Qi County, Qin Qiong personally led a thousand county soldiers to greet him.

After two years of not seeing, Qin Qiong is more mature and stronger.

"Second brother."

"Qi Gong."

"What are you doing like this, you still call me Fifth Brother or Little Five."

Qin Qiong smiled a little restrainedly, after all, the person in front of him was no longer the white boy he was a few years ago, and now he was the world-famous Duke of Qi.

Luo Cheng turned his head and smiled at Zhang Xutuo, "The teacher is now promoted to the deputy envoy of Henan and the Taishou of Xingyang, and I also ask the teacher for personal favors, so don't take my uncle Brother Bao to Xingyang, let him stay in Qi County." ”

Zhang Xutuo smiled, Qin Qiong was originally a soldier of the Right Yi Guard, guarding filial piety at home, he made an exception to call him into the county soldiers to assist him in suppressing bandits, in the past two years, Qin Qiong's bravery has been seen in his eyes bit by bit, it can be said that Qin Qiong is now the second-in-command among the soldiers of Qi County.

"If ordinary people want it, I can't bear it, since it's Shicheng who you ask, then I can only give up, but you have to arrange him well, otherwise I don't agree."

"Uncle Bao is brave and able to fight, he has been fighting bandits in Qi County for two years, and he has rich experience, so he naturally has to be reused. I will now worship Shubao as the governor of Qi County, and then show it to the imperial court. ”

The county lieutenant is awarded according to the size of the county, the large county lieutenant is four, the middle county is four, and the lower county is five. Qi County is the upper county, so this Du Wei is a fourth-grade lieutenant. Although the county lieutenant does not have much real power in peacetime, he can't control the county soldiers and township bravery, and the government soldiers and town soldiers generally don't listen to his orders, but if it is in wartime, the power of this lieutenant is relatively large.

Luo Cheng directly wanted Qin Shubao to be the lieutenant of Qi County, which was not an ordinary reuse.

It was an exception and super promotion, and even Qin Qiong was taken aback.

"Second brother, don't refuse, I use you as a lieutenant not because you are my cousin, but because you have assisted the teacher in suppressing bandits in the past two years, and your achievements are known to everyone. Now that Henan is not quiet, it is precisely the need for capable officials like you to preside over the situation in the future. I am under the emperor's order to comfort Henan and catch thieves, and I also need your help. ”

Zhang Xutuo also said, "You just agree." ”

Qin Qiong was still a little confused, he was only a county military captain in Qi County before, and he was regarded as Zhang Xutuo's vanguard general, although his grade had also improved, he was only six grades.

Now Luo Cheng said a word, and he was promoted to the fourth.

With Luo Cheng's privilege of worshipping the seal now, this promotion is reported to the ministry, and it is estimated that it is impossible to be rejected.

Cold.

Qin Qiong's heart was fiery.

Before Luo Cheng arrived at Qi County with everyone, there were already thousands of veterans of the Left Fifth Army waiting there, all of whom came from all counties of Qi County after receiving Luo Cheng's conscription order, and even from Lu County, Jibei and other counties.

"Report to the marshal, the original Left Fifth Army's Wooden Ox Liuma Heavy Cavalry Team is Yin Tianci ordered to return to the army and ask to return to the team!"

The head of a stout heavy cavalry squad roared.

"Permission to return to the team, welcome back!"

Luo Cheng clenched his right hand into a fist and hammered it heavily on his chest.

"Yes!" Yin Tianci replied excitedly.

"Mo knife hand Zhang Fugui asks to return to the team!"

"Crossbowman Li Cheng asks to return to the team!"

·······

One old brother after another, in this cold winter wax moon, resounded Luo Cheng's call for conscription, gave up the warmth and comfort of the family, bid farewell to his wife and children, and resolutely rode a war horse and came with a sword.

Looking at those faces, Luo Cheng smiled happily.

And Qin Qiong and Chai Xiaohe and the others were full of shock and admiration, they had also served in the government soldiers, and they had also been on the battlefield, but they had never seen any generals who could have such prestige in the government soldiers.

"Xiao Hei, your dog's day is here too." Luo Cheng saw a familiar figure among the returning soldiers, Xiao Hei, the old brother of the former Changbai Township, this guy drank with him after breaking Pyongyang last time, and rewarded him with 100 yuan and promoted to the team leader.

Later, in the battle of Tucheng at the mouth of the Beijiang River, Xiao Hei, who was the leader of the spearmen, showed great courage for the first time, and in that battle, he was wounded in thirteen places, and he almost died of excessive blood loss after the battle.

So after withdrawing to Donglai, Luo Cheng let Xiao Hei return to his hometown first.

"Back to Dashuai, after a few months of recuperation, he has completely recovered, and now he is alive again."

"How's the family, are your younger siblings okay?"

"Okay, this time I came back from Liaodong, and I got a lot of rewards, I have bought 300 acres of land at home, and I have asked someone to build a big house, and I have also bought a yard in Zhangqiu County, and I have already married, and I am married to the daughter of the village chief Wang next door." Xiao Hei's face was filled with joy that could not be concealed.

"You kid, it's so fast, this is buying land, building a house, buying a yard and marrying a wife, this is the pinnacle of life."

"It's all thanks to the handsome, if it weren't for you, Xiao Hei and I would still be just a poor man with no overnight food and no tile."

"Hahaha, is your body really good?"

"Okay, Dashuai doesn't believe that I took off my clothes to show you." Saying that, Xiao Hei really took off his clothes, regardless of the cold, as soon as he took off a few clothes, his upper body revealed scars, which had just been formed not long ago, and they were still purple and red.

"Okay, okay, it's really good, hurry up and put on your clothes, don't freeze." Luo Cheng patted Xiao Hei, "You really fought fiercely last time, since you want to return to the team, then I will give you the rank of battalion captain and lead two hundred spearmen." ”

"Xie Dashuai trusts!" Xiao Hei gave an excited military salute.

Fang Xuanling and a group of Qi County officials also came to greet him, Luo Cheng greeted Fang Xuanling with a smile, he has just been promoted to Qi County Commander now.

"Brother Xuanling!"

"Qi Gong!"

The two met again, but the title had changed. When Fang Xuanling came to Zhangqiu to be a county officer, he Luo Cheng was only a county military captain, and now Luo Cheng has become the ambassador of the twelve counties of Henan to comfort and arrest.

"When I came from Beihai, I also met Du Keming."

Fang Xuanling nodded, Du Ruhui also went out from Zhangqiu, and was promoted to Beihai County Cheng before, and Luo Cheng passed through Beihai, and Cui Junsu had been promoted to the position of Beihai Taishou vacated by the military department, and directly awarded it to Du Ruhui.

Although this is only a temporary appointment, and it still needs to be approved by the imperial court, Luo Cheng, the appeasement ambassador, coupled with the relationship between the Du family and Du Ruhui's ability, although this Taishou still has to add the word "inspection" for a temporary period of time, but after the transition, there is still a great opportunity to sit firmly in the position of Taishou.

It is not ordinary to be promoted to Taishou, this is almost a big hurdle for officials.

After being promoted to Taishou, there will be a lot of opportunities to enter the court in the future, and even enter the center.

"Xuan Ling, my teacher is now promoted to the deputy envoy of the arrest and the Taishou of Xingyang, this Qi County Taishou is vacant, and the imperial court has not given an order, so I decided to show the imperial court that you are the post of the Taishou of Qi County, and you will temporarily preside over the overall situation of Qi County."
