Chapter 59: Reciprocating the Peach
There is no absolute bad thing in the world, after the Jin Army entered the military department, Shangshu Wang Qia fell blood mold and was taken down to Zhao Prison for questioning, but Liang Tingdong, the right servant of the imperial history, was promoted to three levels in just a few months and became a member of the second grade, becoming the secretary of the Ming Military Department.
Seeing that the Son of Heaven was happy, he read the list of meritorious service personnel on the spot in Liu Shilang's report.
The generals who captured Zunhua were all little-known scraps, and the officials of the military department had no impression of these people, and the emperor had never heard of these names.
But there was one person's name that attracted Chongzhen, because it was in the joke circulating in the court just a few days ago.
It was Zheng Guochang who came to Beijing with dozens of levels of slashing to plead guilty, and he asked the family members to spread the good story of his relationship with Huang Han.
Originally, these empty words were not convincing, but with the two levels of the dozens of Jin soldiers including the two levels of Jiannu white armor, the head of the Jin Army had confidence.
The members of the party sympathize with the people's feelings and work tirelessly to go to the remote mountain villages to have fun with the people, and it is blameless to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new with the countryside horseman, but this point in time is quite intriguing, how could Zheng Zhaocha have such good luck to escape the siege of Yongping Mansion by the Houjin army?
No one can tell the mystery clearly, and the chief flag officer is really grateful to Zheng Zhaocha for his kindness, and he didn't rest during the New Year, and led his family to kill the enemy bravely and cut down far more beheadings than promised.
So far, that good story can be described as a perfect ending, although it is weird, but now the heads of the grinning Houjin soldiers are in the military department, and the results of the fake exchange are obvious to all, what else can be blamed for this matter?
In the end, Zheng Guochang was not caught by the princes of Gungon, and the emperor was also extrajudicial and did not hold him accountable for the loss of Yongping City, and Zheng Guochang was still the envoy of the Ming Dynasty.
The emperor comforted Zheng Guochang with kind words and encouraged him to wait for an opportunity to lead Wang Shi to recapture Yongping Mansion.
Zheng Guochang's Huang Yizhou father and son have a real beheading skill, and the imperial court will of course reward the meritorious deeds, and there will be the following within three days.
After all, Zheng Zhaocha, a high-ranking official, is a feudal official, and there are so many protégés! There is no doubt about the connections in the capital.
He intended to promote the Huang family, knowing that Huang Yizhou's father and son were limited to too few people and horses and could only make a small fight, and wanted to take in some Ming cavalry whose battalions were scattered near the Beijing Division.
Soon Zheng Guochang learned that there was a group of men and horses that were specially designed to contain the defeated soldiers who had lost their formation, and they were collected by the military department and stationed near Liangxiang, and the treatment was basically nothing, and they could barely eat three meals a day.
It's not that the court is mean, but it's that the strength is not enough, and the formed battalions can't get food and salary, what can these big-headed soldiers do without organization?
The reason why the military department provided food to support these soldiers was because of the lessons of the past, and the Qinwang army that was scattered in Shanxi plundered and fled all the way back to their hometowns, which caused a bad impact and serious consequences, directly causing many officials and masters to be imprisoned.
If these soldiers who have been broken up and left unattended, it will inevitably cause these people to take risks, and it will be very troublesome if there is another rout and plunder.
Although the composition of the people stationed in Liangxiang is complex, most of them are the elite of the border army, and there are more than a dozen cavalrymen who have fought with Mangui, and some of them are even family soldiers who have no branches to rely on after the death of the head of the family.
Zheng Guochang knew the combat effectiveness of the border army, so he personally went out of the city to appease the soldiers, and publicly released the news that he wanted to collect some skilled men with bows and horses to be homemakers.
The news that the civil official was going to come to the army to select the family made the bitter border army see the hope of coming out, and let the family who had lost the head of the family have a chance.
Zheng Guochang didn't dare to ask for more, and selected 30 big-headed soldiers with loyal appearances and outstanding performance in cavalry and archery from the more than 300 strong cavalry who had been recruited in the past 300 to be accepted as family members.
But he emphasized that it was not that he needed so many cavalry to be his family, but that he would repay the story and accept these thirty knights for the Huang family.
It turned out that it was not for the civil official to be an errand boy, but just for a thousand presidents to be in charge, and some people inevitably felt disappointed.
Of course, Zheng Guochang saw the changes in the hearts of these martial artists, he didn't explain too much, and asked the family to give each person twenty taels of silver as a settlement fee, and told everyone that it was all the silver from their head Huang Yizhou and his son.
Those who are willing to take the settlement fee will be Lord Huang's family in the future, and those who don't want to follow to Yongping Mansion can leave now, and the places they leave will soon be replaced by other border cavalry.
Finally won from hundreds of people to get the opportunity to become a family member, outside the border army eyeing this good opportunity there are hundreds of people, the selected cavalry is reluctant to give up, all took the silver and entrusted the villagers to bring to their parents or wives and children, they resolutely decided to go to Yongping Mansion to follow the head of the family to die.
Zheng Guochang not only worked hard to repay the capital, but also pulled down his old face to go to the ministry and the military department to entrust the relationship, and operated a petty official for his son.
He knew that his second son, Zheng Xiaowen, was not a scholar, and now he only made a name for himself as a prisoner.
The inmates who study in the highest university in the Ming Dynasty are divided into tribute students and yin students, the former is the government, state, and county students, that is, those with excellent grades or qualifications in the show are selected, and the latter is the result of fighting for the father.
Even Xiucai's son who couldn't get into prison by relying on Zu Yin to get into prison, and he wanted to rely on reading to get a person in the exam, which was basically a fool's dream.
The Daming scientific examination is still relatively fair, and the test Xiucai may be able to put pressure on the county through his family background to get a different look, and it is not generally difficult to take the exam, and it is basically useless to find a way to rely on the relationship, only by relying on his own strength to read the four books and five classics.
Xiucai is a scholar, and he has to be a scholar, and he is considered a carp, jumping into the dragon gate, and becoming a scholar. The imperial examination system was also the hope of the feudal dynasty to give the common people a place to get ahead, and the imperial court was also quite strict in investigating and dealing with fraud in scientific examinations.
In addition, there are so many talents and inmates who participate in the township examination and make a name for themselves, and the acceptance rate sometimes reaches one or two out of 100.
Zheng Guochang thought that he did not have the ability to let his second son take the right path of the imperial examination and become a scholar, so for the sake of the successor of the Zheng family, he decided to find another way and planned to let his son rely on military merits to ascend to the throne.
Now the opportunity has come, the Houjin army has entered the army, and the imperial court is the time to employ people, and it is no longer a myth that a penniless low-level civil official has been promoted to seven or eight levels in a row, and there is a precedent for turning from a cloth cloth to a general.
The scheming Zheng Guochang decided to operate for his son, and sought an errand for Zheng Xiaowen to be the master of the military trainee book from Jiupin, and the inauguration of the battalion was the general manager of Huangyi Prefecture, and the specific work was to calculate military merits, receive money and food, draft paperwork and so on.
He wrote a letter to his son, putting his expectations on paper and instructing Zheng Xiaowen to obey Huang Han's orders.
