Volume 1 The Yellow Turban Rebellion Chapter 100 Promotion
The next day, the imperial court issued two policy letters, one for Cao Cao and one for Guo Bin.
"Strategy: Guo Bin is a county order, and the thief is meritorious, loyal and commendable. In addition to the cavalry captain, the rank ratio is 2,000 stones, the silver seal is blue, and he leads the northern army to the cavalry battalion. The expectation is not to slack off, and the following force is auxiliary to the dynasty. ”
And Cao Cao got roughly the same strategy as Guo Bin, and his official position was also that of a cavalry captain.
With this strategy, the ministers of the DPRK and China naturally knew that this was the credit of the Son of Heaven for rewarding Guo Bin for protecting the eldest prince Liu Bian, and trying his best to establish his prestige for Liu Bian. As for Cao Cao, although he also made a lot of achievements in rectifying law and order in Dunqiu, to a large extent, it was the face of his ancestors. However, the really well-informed important ministers of the court and the central government knew that these two policies were sent by the Son of Heaven at the invitation of He Jin, the uncle of the country, and they knew that something big was about to happen.
On the day he received the proposal, Guo Bin's house was naturally full of people coming and going, congratulating guests. The promotion to the cavalry lieutenant is one reason, but the bigger reason is that Guo Bin's cavalry lieutenant was sealed by the Son of Heaven. You must know that the policy book is generally used when the prince and the third prince are canonized, and Guo Bin's two promotions were actually appointed by the Son of Heaven, and this time he was a cavalry captain, and he commanded the Northern Army Yue Cavalry Battalion, which shows that Guo Bin's holy family is long.
There has never been a shortage of well-informed people in the capital, and there has never been a shortage of speculative people. Moreover, Guo Bin has not a deep foundation in Beijing, and now he has risen sharply, which is the time when he needs manpower. Therefore, it is understandable that Guo Bin's house has been overcrowded for several days.
For these people, Guo Bin's policy is to eat and drink well, treat them well, and send them congratulatory gifts of equivalent value the next day. For those who want to rely on the entrustment drill camp and want to enter the Vietnamese riding camp, they will ignore it.
After Guo Bin is promoted, what will Yangzhai County do? He Jin also had a clear reply: "Zhao Yun of Yangzhai County, for the Yang Zhai Order, Buyi Xu Shu except for Yang Zhai County, the edict arrives, and he will go to work immediately." This is also a little benefit that Guo Bin asked for from He Jin. Guo Bin has never been stingy with his own people, and he has always been the master who dares to open his mouth, and he will never give up the opportunity to be an official openly because he is embarrassed.
Guo Bin had to be appointed as a cavalry captain, and his subordinates were naturally very excited. Because once he served as a cavalry captain, Guo Bin could be regarded as a high-ranking official. In addition, it was stated in the policy book that Guo Bin would "lead the Northern Army and the Yue Cavalry Battalion", which was really a high-ranking official with both honor and strength.
So what kind of officer is the Captain of the Cavalry? And what is the so-called "Northern Army Vietnamese Cavalry Battalion"?
Riding the captain, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty started. The two Han Dynasty are evenly placed, belonging to Guangluxun, with a rank ratio of 2,000 stones, in charge of the Yulin Ride, and there is no fixed number.
The so-called "more than 2,000 stones" is an official rank. The Western Han Dynasty Yuecheng Valley Baihu, one-year-old Fan Degu Baihu, one-year-old Fan got money 1,200 stones, or Qian Gu both. The Eastern Han Dynasty is half a dollar and half a valley, with occasional changes.
The so-called "silver seal blue ribbon" is a silver seal and a cyan ribbon tied to the seal. Qin and Han systems, the official rank is more than 2,000 stones, and all are silver seals and green ribbons. Later, it was used as the name of a high-ranking officer.
Guo Bin naturally doesn't look at these, what he values is the "Northern Army Yue Cavalry Battalion".
To understand the Northern Army's Yue Cavalry Battalion, we have to start with the military system of the Han Dynasty.
The official army of the two Han Dynasty was divided into three parts: the central army, the local army, and the border army, which belonged to the Qinliu military system. This military system has three major characteristics: first, it is adapted to the bureaucratic state of the county system and has the nature of radiation centralization; second, it is suitable for large-scale foreign operations of a unified country, and it has professionalism and mobility; third, it also has the characteristics of a samurai group, which implements the ancient bushido, which is in line with the folk martial atmosphere of this era.
The so-called "radiation centralization" refers to the fact that the emperor (at least institutionally) has the right to command the whole army, and according to the distance, the army closest to the emperor is equipped with the most powerful, from near to far, the military power gradually weakens, forming a radiation effect, and strengthening the centralization of power.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Central Army, which garrisoned Gyeonggi, was the most well-equipped, the hardest-trained, and the strongest, at least in terms of system.
The Central Army guarding Gyeonggi was divided into three parts, namely: the Praetorian Guard, the Palace Guard, and the City Guard.
The Praetorian Guard, the personal guard of the Son of Heaven, is called "Lang", and its identity is basically equivalent to the imperial guard of the Qing Dynasty. Among them, the most honored person is higher than the "Yu Lin Lang", Yu Lin Lang originated from the Qin Dynasty's "Wai Lang" and "Riding Lang", pioneered by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the foreign war is more from the Yu Lin Lang to select generals, continued to the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yu Lin Lang has a quota of 128 people, all with horses, heavy armor, hanging strong bows, holding sharp blades, the selection criteria are very strict, often rather lack than abuse, can be regarded as the emperor's personal bodyguard. Yulin Lang is followed by "Yulin Left and Right Cavalry", "Yulin Left Cavalry" 800 people, "Yulin Right Cavalry" 900 people, is a refined cavalry, guarding both sides of the emperor when traveling. The second is the "Period Gate Lang" 1,500 people, mainly foot combat, for the heavy infantry, the total number of these three Lang is 3,328 people.
This Saburo is the most trusted force under the Son of Heaven in terms of training, equipment, and loyalty, the last armed force to protect the Son of Heaven, and the troops that can fight for the Son of Heaven to the last drop of blood.
The palace guards were called "guards" at this time. They mainly guarded the gates inside and outside the palace, the key points in the capital, and important buildings. Such as royal mausoleums, temples and the like. Its number roughly does not exceed that of Saburo. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, its functions were transformed into police banditry, similar to today's armed police force.
The chief of the guard is "Wei Wei", one of the nine kings, and his adjutant is "Zhi Jinwu", who is responsible for the security of the department.
The City Guard is similar to the Jingshi garrison. In the Western Han Dynasty, it was called the "(Jingshi) Northern and Southern Army", as the name suggests, there were two armies in the north and south, but the strength of the northern army was victorious, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the southern army was simply withdrawn, and the northern army was specifically strengthened, and later generations were called the "Northern Army". There is no doubt that the Northern Army is the outermost layer of the three layers of the Central Army, and it is also the one with the largest number of people.
Guo Bin had to be appointed as a cavalry lieutenant and lead the Northern Army to the cavalry battalion, which was obviously highly trusted and valued by Liu Hong, the son of heaven. Thinking that He Jin had rebelled against Taiping Dao and colluded with the eunuchs to explain to the Son of Heaven, Liu Hong had a psychology that it was difficult for the people around him to trust, so he used Guo Bin, who was personally promoted in the mountains and wilderness, always and everywhere to defend the Son of Heaven and the heir of the internal designation, Liu Bian, and formed a mortal enmity with Taiping Dao to lead the Northern Army Yue Cavalry Camp.
In fact, the commander of the Yue Cavalry Battalion of the Northern Army is called the Yue Cavalry Captain, and most of them are served by the clan. I think Liu Hong knew that the clan was now indulging in lust and sound, and there was no special martial arts, and at the critical moment when the capital was in crisis, it was not enough to take on the heavy responsibility, so Guo Bin, the newly appointed cavalry captain, led the Yue cavalry battalion. The rank of the captain of the Yue Cavalry is more than 2,000 stones, which is the same level as the captain of the cavalry.
According to the plan of He Jin, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Guo Bin, Guo Bin was responsible for capturing the Taiping Dao in Beijing, and Cao Cao was responsible for capturing the Taiping Dao in the inner city and maintaining the stability of the inner city. Because the inner city is mostly a powerful family, there is Cao Cao, a ruthless person who dares to kill Uncle Jian Shuo, everyone can sell some face. Yuan Shao was responsible for the central strategy and logistics for the two. After all, there are countless powerful people in Beijing, and with Yuan Shao, the eldest son of the Yuan clan in Runan, many things will be much easier.
According to He Jin's news, Ma Yuanyi, who was responsible for liaising with the powerful in Beijing, placed his stronghold in a large mansion in the outer city, and there were countless masters in the house, and Ma Yuanyi himself was a master of martial arts, so it was necessary for Guo Bin to mix the rivers and lakes like this, and there were a group of Jianghu people under his hands, and courtiers who were loyal to the Son of Heaven to preside over the overall situation.
In fact, at this time, the Central Army has gradually decayed~ Collapsed, and the elite soldiers who originally followed Liu Xiu to fight the country have become the "world soldiers" who succeeded their fathers and sons. By the time of Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, the soldiers of the five battalions had become officials in Luoyang and the children of wealthy merchants who had fallen into the Qian Valley to fill the situation, thus forming the evil result of "the king's brigade was sluggish".
He Jin knew that the state of the Central Army at this time was difficult to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time, so he recommended Guo Bin to lead the Northern Army to the Yue Cavalry Battalion, hoping to use the power of Guo Bin's private army to encircle and suppress Taipingdao.
Guo Bin naturally knows He Jin's plan. It's just that he only brought a hundred special soldiers to Beijing this time, although these special soldiers are extremely combative, and a formation of 100 people can be ten, but after all, the capital is too big, and it is the main battle, if you want to search for the Taiping Dao people, the demand for confrontation is not so high, and the importance of quantity is highlighted. Therefore, after some discussion and planning with He Jin, Guo Bin decided to use the power in the Yue cavalry camp as well.
Therefore, on the day of the arrival of the Son of Heaven's policy, Guo Bin led a hundred special soldiers to gallop to the Yuecai Battalion outside the city.
More than 100 people galloped into the camp on tall horses, and they passed unhindered without encountering any obstacles. Therefore, Guo Bin's understanding of the Yue Cavalry Camp has become clearer.
When I entered the camp, I saw that there were only about 100 people in the camp, and all of them were either lying on wooden couches basking in the sun, or gathering together, shouting and drinking, as if they were drinking and gambling. Seeing this situation, Zhang Feile, who came with him, said: "Lord, can you still drink and make money in this camp?" Lao Zhang came to the right place. ”
gave Guo Bin a fierce glare, Fang touched the back of his head, and stopped in stumbling.
Guo Bin turned back to Guan Yu and said, "Yun Chang, beat the drum." ”
Guan Yu listened to the order, came to the earthen platform in front of the school grounds, picked up the drumstick, and knocked it "dong dong dong".
It was only then that the sergeants in the battalion got up and gathered at the place where the drums were beating. It's just lazy and lazy, very lacking in spirit, and some are even drunk, obviously drinking.
At this time, even Zhang Fei saw that something was wrong. Alcohol is forbidden in this barracks, and it is strictly forbidden to gather people to gamble~ Bo, but look at the "soldiers" with nearly 100 feet and piles of fat in front of you, where is there a little bit of the Central Army? Not to mention the elite soldiers of Yangzhai County, even the soldiers of Zhuo County are much stronger than them.
At this moment, several people came out of the big tent on one side, led by one, fat, with a treacherous face, drunkenly hugging two women with heavy makeup, and said arrogantly: "What kind of person, hiccup... Who dares to beat the drums? You stinky boys, you don't fight for three days, go to the house to uncover the tiles, can you beat this drum? ”
When he saw Guo Bin and the others, he beckoned left and right: "Come on, arrest this spy who dares to beat the drum and disturb the army!" Belch... Say hello hard. ”
When Guo Bin saw the visitor, he was happy: "Yo, acquaintance!" ”
