Knowing that Ling Xia was now the fifth master, Ren Xianzhong pondered for a moment, and then said lightly: "According to the imperial court system, the promotion of officers from the ninth rank must be reviewed by the department heads above the second rank, and after the review is passed, the record will be recorded, and then the resume will be reported to the General's Mansion.

The general order battalion that this official is responsible for is a department from the seventh rank, so I can only promote you to Bi Ma Wen from the ninth rank at most, although this position is only an officer the size of a sesame mung bean, but it has a formal rank, it is different from the grain and grass man and the fifth master, and the officer from the ninth rank already has a file in the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War.

Fortunately, you came to me today, if it is a few days late, even if the official has the heart to help you, there is nothing he can do, because the official is about to be transferred out of the general camp, since you and I have this fate, then the official will help you, this last general order, I will write you a recommendation order.

Upgrading your file to the ninth rank requires two levels of review, and after the review, it has to be sent to the General's Mansion for the record, you go back and wait for the news first, five days soon, ten days later, and your appointment order from the ninth grade will be delivered to you, remember, although Bi Ma Wen is a petty official from the ninth grade, but for you as a recruit, it can be regarded as a carp leaping through the door. ”

"Yes, thank you for your help, and I will never forget the kindness of my adult in the next life." After saying thank you, Ling Xia turned around and went out, today he came to find Ren Xianzhong with the idea of trying his luck, but he didn't expect to be really seized by him, thinking that Ren Xianzhong was about to be transferred, he was secretly glad in his heart, fortunately he came today.

Just when Ling Xia walked to the door of the tent with an excited face, Ren Xianzhong didn't know what he thought, and suddenly stopped Ling Xia, looking at Ling Xia's puzzled gaze, he said casually: "You just said that you have some bottom, I don't know if you have enough thirty-five gold coins on your body?" ”

Before joining the army, Ling Xia asked for ten gold coins and dozens of silver coins from Su Jing'an, and when he was competing with Nangong in Yangwutai, he bet to win thirty gold coins and ninety silver coins, and he had a total of forty-one gold coins and dozens of silver coins on him at that time.

After coming to the barracks, except for giving Ren Xianzhong a gold coin, he basically didn't spend much other money, excluding the five gold coins he had just given to Ren Xianzhong, Ling Xia now had thirty-five gold coins and dozens of silver coins left.

Although he didn't know what Ren Xianzhong meant by asking, after thinking about it, Ling Xia nodded lightly: "It just happens to be enough for this number." ”

"Bring it." Ren Xianzhong said unhurriedly.

"Okay." After speaking, Ling Xia took out the cloth bag on his body without hesitation, and counted the gold and silver coins inside, thirty-five gold coins and forty silver coins. Ling Xia didn't leave a single point, and all of them were pushed in front of Ren Xianzhong.

After seeing that after he finished speaking, Ling Xia took out all his belongings without thinking about it, Ren Xianzhong nodded imperceptibly, counted the money, and saw that Ling Xia gave him the extra silver coins, Ren Xianzhong did not refuse, he accepted them all, and when he loaded the money, he said lightly:

"Some time ago, something happened to us here, under pressure, the Ministry of War must reorganize the war guards in our province, at that time, we will be replaced, it is said that the Ministry of War is formulating a reorganization plan, and it is expected that it will be implemented in three months.

In the past, people from the Military Department and the Criminal Department investigated here, and during this period, a large number of officers were dismissed from their posts, and now many vacancies have been vacated, and when the military department reorganizes the army, it will certainly have to fill these vacancies.

At that time, the military department will definitely send people from among those officers with rank to fill the vacancy, there are two ways to fill the vacancy, one is to transfer at the same level, the other is to be promoted by succession, a ten-captain establishment of the ninth grade, thirty-five gold coins should be able to be won, and the officer will go back and help you give it a try. ”

Hearing Ren Xianzhong's explanation, Ling Xia thanked him again, seeing that Ren Xianzhong had nothing else to add, Ling Xia turned around and left, when Ling Xia left, Ren Xianzhong looked in the direction of the door, and muttered to himself: "I feel that this person will not be a thing in the pool in the future, and now it is better to have a good fate." ”

……

After leaving Ren Xianzhong's place, Ling Xia hummed a little song all the way back to the cafeteria, and when he saw that Yang Lucai was still drinking, he said hello, and then went to clean up the kitchen, while the five Luo brothers helped Ling Xia chop wood.

Six or seven days passed, nothing happened in the army, and although the soldiers speculated that they might have to be reorganized, they didn't feel much, because they were all soldiers at the lowest level, and the court asked them to be soldiers, and if they weren't allowed to be soldiers, they would go back to farming.

After the meal was finished that morning, Ling Xia and the others were cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and suddenly, three heralds on horseback came to the door of the canteen, and after stopping the horses, the three of them came to Ling Xia with an appointment order printed with the military seal of the military department, a set of military uniforms and military seals.

When Ling Xia came out of the cafeteria, the general commander handed Ling Xia the appointment order, military uniform, and military seal, and then said slowly: "Congratulations to General Ling on his promotion to Bi Ma Wen, Lord Ren has returned to the imperial capital this morning, and before leaving, he ordered us to send this thing."

Lord Ren should have left two days ago, but in order to wait for this appointment order, he deliberately delayed the handover time, Lord Ren asked me to bring a message to the general, he let the general live and settle down for a few months, before he promised the general, he will try his best to help the general do it. ”

"Thank you, brother, I should give you a few hard money, but I don't have anything on me now, otherwise, you three eat something here and then leave, it's not easy to come here, don't rush back." After Ling Xia received the military seal and the appointment order, a smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you, sir, we still have to convey other military orders, so we won't bother you." Rejecting Ling Xia's invitation, the three of them rode out of the cafeteria.

When the three people left, Yang Lucai and Lao Cui immediately surrounded them, everyone first congratulated Ling Xia, and then looked at him with some reluctance, seeing the expression on everyone's faces, Ling Xia was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

Seeing that Ling Xia didn't understand, Lao Cui explained to him, it turned out that Bi Ma Wen was different from the fifth commander, the fifth commander was appointed by the centurion, they had no rank, and they could keep the original army to serve.

But Bi Ma Wen is different, this is a position from the ninth rank, from the Ministry of War to file officers, according to the military system, the transfer and promotion of officers below the seventh rank must be decided by the War Guard General's Office.

And the transfer and promotion of officers above the seventh rank must obey the dispatch of the military department, and now Ling Xia has become Bi Ma Wen and has a rank on his body, so his appointment and transfer must be decided by the War Guard General's Office.

In the establishment of the Battle Guard, only the establishment of a 10,000-person team is qualified to be equipped with a Bi Ma Wen, 10,000 troops are 10,000 people, 30,000 troops are a division, and three divisions are a regiment.

Although the battle guard army in Zhongmiao Province is not fully established, there are seven or eight Bi Ma Wen positions, and since Ling Xia has now taken this position, he has to leave the canteen and go to a new post in the 10,000 people under a certain division.

At present, Shi Polei can't decide whether Ling Xia will go or stay, because something happened to Wu Zhenshan, and the current battle guard army is the head of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, so no one knows which army Ling Xia will go to.

After figuring out the reason, Ling Xia suddenly realized, he thought that after he was promoted to Bi Ma Wen, he would continue to stay under Shi Polei as an errand, at that time he was still wondering, Shi Polei's thousand-man team was all infantry, how could there be a position of Bi Ma Wen.

Now he has figured out that there is only one Bi Ma Wen in a team of 10,000 people, although the majority of the 1,000 people are infantry, but in the 10,000 team, how can there be a cavalry team, there are cavalry horses, there are war horses, and there are war horses and there are Bi Ma Wen who specializes in managing war horses.

After figuring out the gap, Ling Xia comforted everyone a few words, and said with a smile that it would not be so fast, although the general order battalion issued the appointment order to him, but there was no movement on the side of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, so he had to wait for a while.

But before Ling Xu's words fell, he saw an officer at the level of a thousand commanders, accompanied by two personal soldiers, riding to the door of the canteen, and glanced at everyone, the man asked arrogantly, "Who is Ling Xia?" ”

"General, I'm Ling Xia, may I ask who you are?" Ling Xia looked at the visitor suspiciously.

"My name is Tie Lianjin, the commander of the 1,000-man team of the first cavalry, the 10,000-person team where the general is located belongs to the Blade Division, and I just received a military order from the Yamen of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and you were transferred to us to serve as Bi Ma Wen, and the general happened to pass by here, so I will take you over by the way."

"My lord, please wait a moment and let me say goodbye to these colleagues." Ling Xia asked.

"Say goodbye, hurry up and pack your things, Ben will be most annoyed by the hypocrisy of these grinding and chirping." Frowning and scolding, Tie Lianjin looked at Ling Xia with some impatience: "Give you half a cup of tea time to pack up your things, don't wait for it." ”

"You ......" Ling Xia looked at Tie Lian Jin with some anger.

"What am I?" Tie Lianjin glared at Ling Xia with a gloomy face.

"Ling Xia, don't make a mistake."

"Brother Ling, calm down."

"Yes, Brother Ling, don't worry."

Seeing that everyone was persuading himself, thinking that he would be on an errand under Tie Lian Jin in the future, Ling Xia suppressed the anger in his heart, he went back to put away a few of his belongings, and then came outside, and stepped on the war horse ridden by a personal soldier, Ling Xia asked Yang Lucai to say goodbye to Shi Polei for him, before his words were finished, Tie Lian Jin and the three of them drove away from the cafeteria, not caring about Ling Xia's feelings at all.

Seeing that Ling Xia was taken away, Liu Piaoyi and Lao Cui stood at the door of the canteen in a daze, Yang Lucai sighed and said softly: "Don't look at it, this kid's life is different from ours, our cooking canteen can't keep him at all, he will have to leave the canteen sooner or later, let's go, go back, and cook at night." ”

Hearing Yang Lucai say this, everyone nodded in agreement, and stood in front of the door for a while, until the figures of Ling Xia and the others disappeared, they turned around and returned to the cafeteria......
