Chapter 253: Commander An
Chapter 253
On the wharf at the mouth of the Yongning River, the sea gate guard commanded An Yucheng to ride on a horse, looking at the scenery in the sea, he is in his early forties this year, it is when he is in the prime of life, a weather-beaten national character face, sharp edges and corners, between the eyes turning, adding a lot of murderous aura, but at this moment the brows are tightly locked, obviously thinking about what kind of answer to have after meeting Yang Shangjing.
Speaking of which, this An Yucheng can also be regarded as a typical example of changing his fate through personal struggle and historical process, his family was originally just a hereditary hundred households, and there is no too deep foundation, not to mention the court, that is, in the guard, it has to be ranked to the end, according to reason, the highest in his life is the material of a middle- and lower-level officer in the Ming Dynasty, but he is also lucky, because he played a good knife technique, and when he went into battle, he was in danger, and he was taken by Li Xin, who was supervising the war at the time, and took it directly with him. Whether it is cutting the enemy when he goes into battle to kill the enemy, or cutting the deserter when he supervises the battle, it is called a ruthless person, and after a few battles, he was directly promoted from a hundred households to the commander of the office, and became Li Xin's henchman.
This can be regarded as the result of personal efforts, but if the commander climbs up the ranks, it depends on the historical process, after all, the important post of being in charge of 5,000 soldiers and horses and tens of thousands of military households is the commander of the envoy, and there is no way to directly promote him.
But in the early years of orthodoxy, Xuan Hui came to the Qing army in Zhejiang, and was cut off the heads of more than 40 officers, including the previous commander of the Haimen guard, and a lot of vacancies appeared in the whole Zhejiang in an instant.
As for Li Xin, as the commander of Zhejiang, his desire for power is also very strong, and he doesn't want his command to be full of nobles from all walks of life, which is not convenient for his own management at all, so under the various wrestling and compromises in the local and two capitals, he, a hereditary hundred households, relied on his military merits and the appreciation of his superiors, and actually took the most important step and was promoted to the commander of the Haimen guard, and the hereditary position was also promoted from 100 to 1,000 households.
And after arriving at the Haimen Guard, An Yucheng did not disappoint Li Xin's hopes, and in two months, he cleared up the influence left by the original commander, and incorporated the entire Haimen Guard into Li Xin's direct command.
Therefore, this An Yucheng can also be regarded as a decisive character, regardless of the ability to cut people, or the ability to stand in line, there is a set, even if he was called Daochang Guowei a few days ago and beat the board, it did not affect his prestige among the sea guards, in other words, "all command the envoys to beat you in order to love you", where are ordinary people qualified to be Li Xin's board?
"My lord, look, the official ship on the sea seems to be turning, and if you don't come to our sea guards, you will go straight to the north."
His eldest son An Kaifeng pointed to the sea and said loudly, sobering An Yucheng from his contemplation, frowning, looking at the official ship on the sea, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be busy, wait until Wang Zongqi comes back." ”
This general banner surnamed Wang was sent by him to invite Yang Shangjing, this general flag did not come back, and no one could determine what the direction of Yang Shangjing's official ship was, so An Kaifeng nodded and quieted down, although he was a little embarrassed, but in front of his father, he was still very peaceful.
After a while, I saw a small boat leaning on the dock, and Mr. Wang got off the boat, ran directly to An Yucheng's horse, and knelt down with his clothes: "The commander is above, the Xu Zongqi under Yang Langzhong said that it is the end of the year, Yang Langzhong is going north to Changguowei, see General Li first, and when he returns to Huangyan County, he will meet the commander again." ”
An Yucheng's eyebrows were raised, what he was worried about had finally come, Yang Shangjing did not intend to let him go, or rather, before he got the compensation he wanted, Yang Shangjing did not intend to let him go as a commander.
"A soldier is a soldier, but a junior official of the fifth grade, a sour and rotten literati, but he dares to take a stand in front of adults, it's really damn ......" An Kaifeng frowned, and immediately shouted.
In the end, before the word "death" was half spit out, I saw An Yucheng turn around suddenly, the horsewhip held in his right hand crossed an arc, and pulled down towards his head, the sound of the horsewhip breaking through the air whistled, obviously moving with all his strength, there was no intention of keeping his hand at all, An Kaifeng was so frightened that he shrank his head, and he felt a cold on the top of his head, and the helmet flew out directly.
Before he could speak, An Yucheng returned his hand, and another whip was pulled down, smashing directly on his waist, obviously with all his strength, but because of the armor, it just made him feel a pain in his waist, and the whole person couldn't sit on the saddle bridge, and his body shook and he fell directly.
The two commanders looked at An Yucheng's dark face, and they were immediately startled, leaned forward left and right, hugged An Yucheng whole, and comforted: "The commander is angry, angry, the eldest prince is just a moment of anger......"
When encountering a strong leader, the second-in-command and the third-in-command are basically an ornament, and they will never dare to mention it, at most they will make a little action below, fill in the small place for Shangguan, and have to guard against retaliation.
An Yucheng snorted, put away the whip, flicked the horse's head, stood in front of An Kaifeng, staring at his son, his eyes were full of anger, he no longer hid it, and he didn't wait for him to speak, as soon as An Kaifeng turned over, he knelt directly on the ground with a bang, and kowtowed again and again: "Adults are angry, adults are angry......"
"Then the foundation of Yang Shangjing Yang Lang, a few months ago, my father told you, right? can directly eradicate the local big households as soon as he takes office, and he still sits in a stable position, how can he be a sour and rotten literati? Pan Shiwei is so talented, the rank is the same as that of his father, the pickled head just passed through here to Chang Guowei the day before yesterday, but you say that he is a sour and rotten literati? An Yucheng turned his wrist, his eyes spewing fire, "When will you grow your brain?!" ”
As he spoke, he raised his whip and was about to draw it again, the two commanders hurriedly stopped it again, persuaded in his mouth, and it was another good persuasion, An Yucheng snorted, beat the horse and walked towards the sea guard, and said in a cold voice: "After I go back, I will be hungry for three meals, think about why Lao Tzu beat you!" ”
