Chapter 16: The General Soldier of the Regiment Training (I)

That night, the red candles on the Tianguang Tower in Yongning County were burning, the guests were full, and almost all the people with heads and faces in Yongning County attended this celebration banquet.

Most of these are characters who have received the "Soul Detention Order", Liang Zheng retreated from the horse this time, which is equivalent to saving their lives, needless to say, gratitude, many people even frequently raise their glasses to persuade them to drink, full of compliments. Some say "relieve the people of water and fire", some say "unparalleled national soldiers", some say that "using soldiers like gods" is "a generation of Confucian generals", and some say "pillars of the country...... All of this is simply blowing the sky.

After a while, Wu Dalie also held the wine glass with a red face, and walked over.

"Virtuous nephew~" He said, "You have become famous in a war, I have gone to the court to ask for credit for you." ”

He couldn't help but be happy.

Since he served as the commander of Yongning County, his political performance has been mediocre, although he has not made any mistakes, but he has not done anything big, it can be said that he can't even turn a wave when he is thrown into the sea.

If it is said to be placed in Taiping provinces such as Jiangnan, it is nothing. But Yongning is located in Henan, such as today's frequent disasters, it is the object of the court's attention, like himself has no ability, and there is no backstage official, I am afraid that it will not be long before I have to be thrown to the border of Liaodong.

The last time I went back to Beijing to report on my work, Meng Dechang, a member of the Ministry of Officials, still remembered his strange smile vividly: "Master Wu, you have done a good job as a Taiping County Order." ”

……

Seeing that the three-year period is approaching, but such a happy event has happened, and the people's reputation is like iron, and when they sing, it is a real proof when they are examined! Can he not be happy?

"Little nephew, thank you Uncle Shi for your love." Liang Zheng hurriedly got up and thanked him, "It's just ......"

"Huh?"

"My nephew still thinks it's too early to be happy."

Liang Zheng is speaking from the heart.

The reason is very simple, the red lady has not been caught.

In this battle, although it was to break up the main force of Jigong Mountain, but it was only one of the leaders of the Red Lady who was caught, and the bandit leader was still at large, with the status of the Red Lady in the hearts of the people, and now the current situation in Henan is unstable, I am afraid that it will not be long before she can pull up a team of people.

Even if you put this aside and didn't catch the red lady, and you completely offended her this time, isn't the "soul detention order" on your neck tighter and tighter?

Don't you all have to live in fear in the future?

"Hey~, the virtuous nephew is too worried." Wu Dalie didn't care, "Although you didn't finish this battle, you even caught the second master of Jigong Mountain, and all the ringing horses were also beaten by you and cried dad and called mother, and now the red lady is a tiger without minions, and she can't make any waves." ”

"But ......"

"Okay, okay, I'll talk about that later." Wu Dalie waved his hand, "In the battle of Qingshi Ao, I have already reported to my teacher, you just wait to enter the office!" ”

"I'm ......" Liang Zheng opened his mouth and wanted to say more, but Wu Dalie had already turned around and walked away:

"Come on, come on, happy today, everyone is not drunk and homeless!"

Beijing City, Military Department.

Yang Sichang looked at the fold from Yongning in his hand and didn't say a word for a long time.

"More than 100 families broke more than 1,000 bandits, and captured the bandit leader Peng Zhanzhen...... Hmm, Liang Zheng...... This name seems to have been seen somewhere. ”

He quietly recalled, and then remembered.

The last time Wu Dalie handed him the strategy, wasn't it written by this person?

I didn't expect him to have this ability, he could win more with less, and break the thief.

Yang Sichang picked up the pen and drew a horizontal line on the name, then got up and looked at the huge imperial city outside the window with burning eyes.

The day before yesterday, Gonggong Cao in the palace came to visit and revealed a message - the emperor was about to appoint himself as a scholar of Dongge University, a scholar of the military department, an imperial envoy of the right capital, the military affairs of Xuanfu, Datong, Shanxi and other places, and the commander-in-chief of internal suppression.

But Yang Sichang knows deeply that he is a general, but not a general. He can grasp the overall situation, but let him lead the troops to attack, he doesn't have the confidence.

However, there must be generals to suppress bandits, and the plan of "spreading the net on all sides" must have competent manpower. So who can you rely on?

Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, is the best candidate to implement this plan, in addition to Xiong Wencan, who is good at appeasement, and Sun Chuanting is also good...... But these few people are not enough.

This Liang Zheng, since he can lead troops to suppress bandits and defeat the strong with the weak, it seems that he is not a scholar who talks on paper, but a doer, but an object that can be paid attention to.

Will there be any surprises he will bring to himself?

Thinking of this, Yang Sichang finally made a decision.

He turned his head around, picked up his pen, and hurriedly wrote a few words in the newspaper.

※※※

Wu Dalie was right, it didn't take long for the appointment documents about Liang Zheng to come down quickly.

"The commander of the regimental training?"

In the Liang Mansion, Liang Zheng looked at his official documents and blinked his bewildered eyes.

The general soldier is the commander of the border pass established by the Ming Dynasty, which belongs to the nature of dispatch, when there is a war, Peiyin fights, and returns after the war, without a fixed grade. In other words, the general army is a military attache appointed by the emperor or the imperial court during wartime, and its rank still depends on the position he holds in peacetime, which is a bit similar to the appearance of the Qincha.

Of course, in the Chongzhen period, the Ming Dynasty was already suffering from internal and external troubles, and the general army became a permanent official position, becoming the highest military commander of the town, such as Li Chengliang, Wu Sangui, etc.

But what the hell is the general army plus regimental training?

"This ...... This ......" Su Qinghe was a little hesitant, but the master couldn't help but answer his questions, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "It's the same...... A kind of general soldier. ”

"You're saying something like 'hehehe'...... I still think it's a problem. With a lost look, Liang Zheng stared at his housekeeper, "How did I not know that the imperial court still had this kind of official position?" ”

"This, this ......"

"Moreover, shouldn't there be an official rank on the official identity paper, why don't I have this one?"

"This, this ......"

Su Qinghe wiped a cold sweat.

The so-called regimental training chief soldier is, in fact, the militia leader.

In the last years of Chongzhen, the regular army of the imperial court could not be deployed, and the local people often spontaneously organized militias to guard the city and prevent bandits.

If these militia organizations expressed their willingness to accept the transfer to the imperial court, they were often rewarded by the imperial court, and some of them were lucky, and the imperial court would also make the militia leader a "chief soldier", which was equivalent to changing from a civilian to an officially recognized paramilitary organization.

This is the origin of the regimental training of the general soldiers.

But the power and status of such a general soldier have not changed much, that is, they can still only manage the militia under their own command, but they have just approved a bright coat.

Of course, if this regimental training chief soldier is appreciated by his superiors (such as the genuine border commander), he will still have a chance to get ahead, but this has nothing to do with the position of "regimental training chief" itself, and it can only be said that it is easier to get ahead with an official body.

And even the regular general soldiers do not have a fixed grade, and it is too fantastical for a regimental training general soldier to still want to have a grade.

Therefore, the terms "no grade", "no stream", and "copycats", even if Liang Zheng didn't want to, they still knocked heavily on his head.
