Chapter Twenty-Four: The Virtuous Nephew
Xiande was gone for twenty-five days, and almost escaped the entire recruit training in Goxinga. In fact, even if the distance is a little slow with the captives, it is enough for eleven or twelve days to go full. However, Xiande was out of tolerance this time, and Guoxing's procurement task was arranged, so it was delayed for a while. And after all, Xiande is not a longevity comparison, and the old man with grade naturally wants to socialize in a big way. When Guo Xing'a went out, he deliberately allocated a batch of seized gold and silver to Xiande and Xishou, and those who were happy to be bribed would be bribed, and those who were virtuous were all used for favors.
The firearms and materials named by Goxinga did not come forward with virtue at all. Xishou is familiar with the way to find Hechun's cronies Wang Jun, a bag of gold and silver, everyone is their own people, naturally everything is easy to say. Guoxing's victory this time can be called a rare big victory since the formation of the Jiangnan battalion. Although Hechun has also won several battles with the cooperation of the Green Camp before, it is really chilling to win. Although Guoxing'a is not a big battle this time, there are more than 800 heads, and it is not easy to get even if you really fight a big battle. After looking at the first level with Chunyan, the molars were almost exposed. The sign of long hair is that you don't shave your hair, and you can see it at a glance by killing good people and beheading them on the battlefield. The head presented by Guo Xing'a can be seen at a glance that the goods are genuine, and the minimum hair on the head is more than three inches long, which is absolutely not fake. Guo Xing'a can't catch a bunch of ordinary people, wait for the hair to grow and then kill it! However, He Chun didn't know that some bandits did not shave their heads even if they had limited conditions.
Guo Xing'a is the banner man of Zhenggen'er, and his assistant leader is also the foundation of the founding of the Qing Dynasty - the Eight Banner Soldiers. In the past, he had to rely on the green battalion for the war, but in fact, he had some pimples in his heart. This time he got the opportunity to tout Guo Xing'a with his life, and he also wantonly promoted the virtue of rewarding the victory. Feng Zicai, Zhang Guoliang and other Han generals were specially invited to wash the dust of Xiande, one is to add glory to Xiande's face, and the other is to frustrate the sharpness of the Han generals, don't think that you can fight, our banner people can also do it.
Hechun gives face like this, the so-called sedan chair is carried by everyone, and Xiande should be reciprocated. However, Xiande has been hesitating, and before Xiande set off, Guoxinga prepared plums for Hechun. But this plum is too big, and Xiande is really reluctant to take it out. Although it is only a few beautiful words, some of them are too meaningful!
"The ancestors were martyred for the country, and the younger generations have no talent and no virtue. Today's rebels are rampant, Ben Zuo Ling is lonely and hangs outside, although he does not dare to retreat, he will report to the country and filial piety. The grain and military needs rely on the military gate, and the military gate is expected to check the loyalty of the military gate and serve the country, follow the filial piety of the father, and give it generously. The whole army feels the kindness of the military gate, and Guoxing is contemptuous, so he should serve the military gate with his father and look at the military gate. ”
Xiande had gone through it again in his mind, and he had prepared the words and sentences in advance, but he was still entangled after three rounds of wine and couldn't export. Of course, these words and sentences are polished by virtue, and Guo Xing'a's original words are: "My buddy is still a child, and I have to rely on you and Chunjunmen to teach me too many things." The Taiping Army is so fierce at the moment! It's not easy for Lao Tzu to take such a little people outside, and you can give more things to the military gate. I'm not fighting this battle for myself, I'm not fighting for the country! When I was a teenager, I followed my dad out to fight, is it easy! You just have to give something, and Lao Tzu worships you as a godfather! ”
Guo Xing Ah didn't think there was anything to worship a godfather, Lao Tzu even picked up his own father, my own father who could make me roasted eggplant in the 21st century! As long as you can ask for supplies, don't say godfather, you can be the emperor, muskets and cannons are the real guys.
It's a pity that Xiande and others can't agree with Guo Xing'a's point of view. With the father serving, the significance of these four words is too great, the flag people value the etiquette rules, and the godfather is not worshiped casually. As soon as Guoxing worships his godfather, the entire leader will be three points shorter in front of Hechun. Although it is now also the command of Gui Hechun, the meaning is different. There is a major face problem here, and Chun's origin. He Chun is a forward of the Yellow Flag, which is simply equivalent to a high-level bannerman. And Guo Xing'a is the leader of the world with the blue flag, and belongs to the lower level of the Eight Banners officials.
Although one is the upper three banners stationed in Beijing and the other is the lower five banners stationed in Beijing, the official is the official, and the flag is the flag officer. The officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners were not selected by one person, one vote, nor by the imperial examination, but were all hereditary. If you are a striker, even if you have to ride a horse with your personal efforts, as long as you don't earn a job for your family, it is only your business, and your son will only be a striker in the future. Even if you have made great contributions to leave a position for future generations, it is a big deal that you are a cloud cavalry captain or something, and your son will still be under the leadership of Zuo, but his status is higher. Unless you re-establish a leader, you will be the leader yourself, otherwise the banner man will only be under the leader of a certain flag for eternity, and he will never be able to transcend.
In the Qing Dynasty, he was almost equal to the iron hat king who was a few sizes younger, although he was poorer than the people in charge. But it's like a golden rice bowl with a low output, and its status is transcendent! And as long as your family does not die, this collar will always belong to your family. It's better than if Xing'a is promoted, even if he enters the military aircraft department, he still has to take on the position of assistant leader. Even if Guo Xing'a died in battle that day, he would have to find an heir among his younger brothers, and there would be no outsiders at all. Even if there is only one infant baby left in Yehenara's family, these hundreds of people under the leadership of Zuo will always have to worship him as the boss, this is the rule of the Eight Banners and the law of the country. The leader will always be the leader, the flag will always be the leader, and the class barrier can never be broken. This is also the reason why no matter how Goxinga behaves, Saishana and they have to endure it.
Worshipping the current General Jiang Ning, who was born as a striker, as a godfather, Guo Xing'a suffered a lot. Just like a noble son worships an old man as a godfather, Guo Xing'a lost the face of his ancestors for eight generations in order to exchange for some guns. Although Cezanne and the others knelt on the ground again, Guoxinga was dictatorial again, Lao Tzu was shameless, and none of you should persuade me.
Xiande weighed it again and again, and saw that He Chun, Zhang Guoliang and others were about to drink and lie down, and if they didn't say anything, they wouldn't have a chance. Xiande could only dry a glass of wine, stood up with a red face and read the manuscript again.
As soon as Xiande's voice fell, the big tent was instantly quiet. Zhang Guoliang and Feng Zicai were both recruited rebels, and they didn't understand the rules of the Eight Banners that were comparable to the Kangxi dictionary.
"This ...... Guo Zhangjing's words are too modest! (Zuo Ling's former name was Niu Lu Zhangjing) and Chun himself couldn't believe that a world leader had given face to such an extent. Although He Chun is now General Jiang Ning in charge of Liangjiang military affairs, the banner man is from a trench! It's like a princess and a princess, you are a princess when you perform your duties in bed, and you are still a slave under the bed. On the bed of Hechun is General Jiang Ning, and under the bed is just a flag ding.
"The first leader Hui Yanggong was unfortunately martyred for the country, and when Ben Zuo led the storm, he relied on the support of the military gate. Ben Zuo led Zhang Jing Guoxing A military affairs in person and couldn't come in person, so he specially ordered the officials to thank his uncle and the great grace of the military gate! Xiande gritted his teeth and knelt down, this is kowtow for Guoxing's head. Anyway, if it weren't for the guns, Guo Xing'a would also let Xiande hug his thighs and cry, and it would be good to be reduced to kowtow. And Xiande also paid back a price to Guoxing'a, Guoxing's godfather was first transformed by Xiande into serving his father, and now he is simply demoted to his uncle.
"Virtuous nephews are exempt!" He Chun sat up straight, straightened his clothes again, and then got up and returned the half-salute. Although Xiande is more than sixty years older than He Chun, he is worshipping for Guoxing, so Hechun is equivalent to officially receiving Guoxing's gift.
"Thank you, Junmen!" After Xiande got up, he felt relaxed, it is better to worship his uncle than to worship his father!
"Huh! Guoxian's nephew fought for the country, made many meritorious achievements, and was loyal and brave to not let his first brother benefit the prince! Hard, hard! He Chun seemed to have smoked two or two taels of smoke, and his face was full of red light, and his whole body felt light. When Hui Yang was alive, his temper was stinky and hard, and He Chun was too lazy to pay attention to him and couldn't afford to provoke him. Don't talk about calling it big brother, even if you call Hui Zhangjing, it has to be behaving. Now I can call me a brother and a brother with the world's management leader, and I can open my mouth and close my mouth to be a good nephew, cool! He Chun secretly decided in his heart that he would fight well in the future! If you can call your own family's leader a brother and sister that day, it will be really cool! The ghost is willing to call that little bastard to lead the master. A four-pint blue top, dragged in front of him like twenty, five or eighty thousand.
"Be loyal to the country, avenge your father, don't dare to say hard work! There is only one military need, and I hope that the military will be more considerate! Xiande looked at the fluttering Hechun, and knew that even if he wanted a general's cannon now, Hechun could give it.
"Nephew Guoxian is too polite! They all serve the country and are loyal to their masters, and the military supplies should be sufficient. What's more, Guoxian's nephew is hanging alone, and he has broken the thief army many times, and he has to double the supply! He Chun obviously looked at Xiande, but it seemed that he was talking to Guo Xing'a in the air.
"Thank you, Junmen! All the colleagues in the ordinary quartermaster battalion have all been prepared under the concerted efforts of the people, and only one needs the approval of the military! "Xiande and the leading figures in the camp have communicated quite well in the past few days.
"I don't know how!" He Chun also knew that Guo Xing'a must have asked for such a big face.
"The military gate is clear, and the bandits have attacked the Zuo Ling's garrison many times, although they were all defeated by our army under the military gate. However, the thieves are getting stronger, and most of them carry siege weapons such as shield vehicles, which our army's ordinary muskets and arrows cannot break. Leader Zuo is afraid that the bandits will attack with heavy weapons again, so Lord Zuo Ling hopes that the military gate can allocate a few artillery pieces with our army to kill the enemy! Please be aware of the military gate! Xiande bowed.
"Hmmm! Guoxian's nephew is very worried! The artillery in the battalion was old and unusable. There will be a batch of newly arrived foreign cannons next month, just three, so they will be allocated to Guoxian's nephew! After the artillery arrived in the battalion, I sent my own soldiers and nephews to send it! "It's not that he doesn't value artillery, but he hasn't used it well. The artillery issued to the Eight Banners was the same as if it had not been fired, either it was blown up or it could not be fired. The distribution to the Green Battalion was better, but it couldn't keep up with the military action. Moreover, the Han people have more artillery in their hands, and He Chun is also not at ease. Guo Xing'a is a rare warlike person among the banner people, he gave himself a big face at the city gate, nothing more than a few cannons, just give it to him!
Xiande thanked again and again, and everyone feasted for half a night, and dispersed happily. After Xishou and his old acquaintance Wang Jun handed over firearms and other supplies, on the twenty-fifth day of departure, Xiande returned to Guoxinga with a full harvest.
