Chapter 34 Actual Commander
I don't know if he is mighty or subdued people with virtue, those people heard his shouts, they all brushed the ground on one knee, raised their fists above their heads, and sang loudly: "I have seen the commander." ”
Besides, he was stunned all of a sudden, what kind of formation is this, he really has Zhang Yide's demeanor, and he has subdued these people?
"My lord, we were sent to serve as your lord's guard." The leader stood up and said.
"Be my bodyguard?" Besides, I was stunned.
At this time, Zhou Dingcheng and Xiao Nier also came out, and Zhou Dingcheng also took out the waist knife that was rationed, ready to kill the Quartet at any time, and both of them were stunned when they saw this scene.
The leader took out a brown paper envelope from his chest and presented it to him with both hands: "My lord, this is a document from the Ministry of War, and the last general only received it in the morning. ”
Moreover, the fire paint seal on the envelope was opened, which was a seal unique to the documents of the Ministry of War, and the documents of other ministries would not use this kind of seal. As long as the seal is broken, the documents inside will be invalidated.
Sacred decrees or secret decrees are generally made of specially woven brocades, which are tightly woven and have special means to prevent unauthorized dismantling.
Moreover, when he took out the document, it was indeed stamped with the large seal of the Ministry of War, and there were only a few lines on it: By the holy order, he was given the command of the Jinyi Guard, and it was transferred to a substantive position, which took effect immediately, and he had to go to the Jinyi Guard Command Envoy every day to be on an errand.
The end of the document is signed by the military department, not a drawing, but a real-name signature.
The emperor transferred me to a real position? Am I really a military attaché?
Besides, Rao is extremely smart, and he didn't react at once, which was something he hadn't thought of at all. What does the emperor mean by this, did Zhou Dingcheng really guess that the emperor wanted the future master of science to be his guard? Let a math teacher teach physical education?
The emperor won't be in such a situation, right?
"Congratulations, this is Madame, the last general has seen Madame." The leader saluted again with a fist at Xiao Nier.
"I've seen Madame." The people kneeling on one leg below also shouted in unison, then stood up and stretched out their hands: "Please give a reward, Madame." ”
Besides, he smiled: "You people want to have a good face, and you will have to pay for it when you meet." ”
The leader smiled and said: "The lord has changed to a real job, this is a great happy event, and of course the general will have to please the money." In addition, the adults have a big hand but a reputation, and the last general is waiting to follow the adults to make a fortune. ”
Xiao Nier was really overjoyed at this time, she originally thought that the end had come, but she didn't expect it to be a big joy, and she smiled happily at the moment: "Okay, good, of course you have to reward, of course you have to reward, everyone has a share of the money." ”
The leader smiled and said, "Madame said okay, there are dozens of people outside." ”
"And? Oh, it's okay, how many people are okay. "Where does Xiao Nier still keep money in her heart at this time, and where is she afraid of happy events.
It is one thing to send a commander to the envoy, and another thing to be a real commander, but the two are worlds apart.
It was said that this was indeed a happy event from heaven, but besides, he was not happy, he did not know what was going on, but he believed that there must be something greasy in it, and something unexpected would happen.
At the moment, these people are all reporting their homes, the leader is Jinyi Wei Baihu, named Ji Chang, behind are the general flag, small flags, school captains and others, roughly equivalent to Wu Shi Chang, Shi Chang, Wu Chang, waiting outside is of course ordinary Jin Yi Wei personnel, also known as wrestlers, are carefully selected from the folk brave and strong, good at martial arts.
Besides, he didn't have time to think about anything, so he called all the people outside in, and Ji Chang led these people to see it collectively.
This is an elite escort team of more than 100 people, and looking at these sturdy men, whether they can do martial arts or not, this body is indeed at the level of a wrestler.
Ji Chang and the general flag and the small flag are all wearing flying fish suits, and those captains are bullfighting suits, and the wrestlers' costumes have no special signs, but they are also very beautiful, and each of them wears the unique waist knife of Jinyiwei, which is the envied embroidered spring knife.
Besides, looking at the costumes of these people, I was also secretly surprised, it is said that with the grade of these people, the costumes are a little arrogant. Flying fish suits are generally only worn by military attachés and first- and second-class officials, and civil officials are also university scholars and scholars, and they have to be specially given by the emperor, because this is a military uniform.
Moreover, although he was only a fifth-grade official before, because Jilu was the empty rank of the commander, the personnel of the Jinyi Guard were one or two levels higher than the general imperial court establishment, so it was normal to be given a flying fish suit, but I didn't expect that there were also hundreds of general flags and small flags, and the bullfighting uniform was also the official uniform of a senior military general, but it was popularized by the Jinyi Guard to the general captain level.
Of course, the establishment of Jinyi Guard is much higher than that of normal officers and soldiers, that is, those wrestlers are all officer-level, not soldiers, but even so, the clothes they wear are a bit too extravagant.
The hundred households of Jinyi are the six products, the general flag, the small flag, and the captain are descending step by step, and the wrestler is the deputy nine products, which belongs to the lowest level, but it is much higher than the soldiers, not to mention the many privileges of the Jinyi Guard, even the court officials are respectful of the personnel of the Jinyi Guard. The Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple all hate the privileges of Jinyiwei, and they don't even have a good impression of Jinyiwei.
Xiao Nier always had some silver at home, but it was still not enough today, so she asked the servant to take the silver ticket to the nearby silver village to exchange for a silver ticket, and brought back half a cart of silver.
She discussed it briefly and decided that there would be 100 wrestlers, each of whom would be rewarded with 50 taels of silver, that is, 5,000 taels, 10 lieutenants, 100 taels per person, 5 small flags, 200 taels per person, 2 total flags, 500 taels per person, and only one Ji Chang in 100 households, with a reward of 1,000 taels, and 9,000 taels of silver would be thrown out at once.
When the silver was retrieved, besides, Ji Chang was settling these horses, everyone came on horseback, and the horses were as fine as the horses of the guards in the Wucheng Marquis's Mansion. In addition, each of the Jinyi guards also has a horse, all of which are kept in their own horse farms, and they can only receive it when they go out of Beijing.
Besides, there are a lot of stables in the house I bought, but it is obviously not enough to put more than a hundred horses, so after discussion, I left twenty horses here, and the rest were put in the Jinyiwei Horse Farm to raise, and I would pick them up when I had something.
These people will have to stay here in the future, and they will have to arrange their dormitories, but fortunately they have everything to be rationed by the official family, which is not to be paid for, not only do they bring their own bedding and clothes, but also the cook's kitchen utensils, and there are also grooms who take care of the horses, etc., in short, it is a small army that has been streamlined.
Besides, he was still a little uneasy, he couldn't figure out what all this was about, of course there was no answer to ask these people, they were just acting on orders, and the documents of the military department were only needed for normal deployment, but in fact, they came on the orders of the envoys under the command of the Jinyi Guard, and it was clearly the emperor's special order.
"What's going on?"
Besides, he and Zhou Dingcheng looked stunned, and asked each other with their eyes.
Zhou Dingcheng was even more in a daze, he had also been in the inner court, familiar with the allusions of the imperial court, and had never seen the Jinyi Wei Jilu personnel transferred to the actual position, not to mention the commander, Jinyiwei only had a total of four commanders. Besides, when he became a real commander, did the imperial court increase its establishment, or was it ready to remove which commander?
It is not difficult to get a hundred households or a thousand households in Jinyiwei, as long as the ancestors have meritorious service, or the first and second rank military generals accumulate meritorious deeds and qualifications, it is possible for the descendants to attack a hundred households in Jinyi.
Besides, for example, he is a person from the Marquis of Wucheng, and the Marquis of Wucheng has been passed down through the dynasties, only the one who attacked the lord, and there was no one who inherited the shadow, so the shadow of several generations came down, and it was completely normal to be a thousand households in brocade clothes, but the command was still too high.
That is to say, officials like the hundred households in brocade clothes can be obtained just by relying on the shadow of the ancestors, and it is not difficult for thousands of households, but if you want to go up one step further, you can survive to the commanding envoys, calming envoys, and commanding envoys, not how difficult it is, but it is impossible at all. Because these people are like the eunuchs of the twelve eunuchs in the palace, they must be the emperor's henchmen, and they cannot be obtained by virtue of qualifications and military merits.
"Don't think about it, it's a good thing anyway, at least on the surface." Zhou Dingcheng smiled bitterly.
"On the surface, it's a good thing, but what if there's something even bigger hidden?" Besides, I can't laugh.
"How bad could it be? Think about it, if the emperor sends someone from Jinyi to arrest you today, what will be the situation, isn't it a good thing now? ”
"No, if the emperor really sent someone to arrest me, it was still my expectation, but this thing was wrong, it was completely beyond my expectations." Besides, he was uncomfortable and scratched his head in a hurry.
"You expected to be caught?" Zhou Dingcheng was surprised.
"Of course, it was one of a dozen possibilities I could have anticipated, but I didn't expect this to happen today."
Besides, it's like playing against others, exhaustively analyzing all the possible moves of the opponent, and even analyzing all kinds of variables, but the emperor's move is really like a fantasy, and it falls directly on the chessboard.
Make your opponent confused, this is the most powerful trick!
This can only be said that his original analysis and judgment of the emperor was wrong, and he had to make a new analysis and judgment after he went back, otherwise the problem would become more and more serious until it got out of control.
Of course, he knew that he could not control the situation, but he could take advantage of it, and there were multiple forces that he could use to take advantage of, and this was what he relied on to dare to take risks. Now, it is clear that the process of things has accelerated and has entered a critical stage, and if you want to realize your wishes, you must not follow the rules, you must win by surprise.
In his detailed analysis, the current emperor just wants to be a holy monarch who rules by arching, and what he pays attention to should be to rule by inaction, and leave the affairs of governing the country to Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng to deal with. Why does the emperor need such a tablet, it should be to pave the way for the high arch to ascend to the top, in the future, the high arch is the first auxiliary, Zhang Juzheng is the second assistant is ironclad, if it is not for Chen Yiqin's rapid retreat, exit from this circle, the pattern of the troika is in front of you, of course, Chen Yiqin is really retreating, or retreating as advance, it is still inconclusive, maybe one day the emperor sent a special decree to the cabinet, Chen Yiqin immediately ascended to the university scholar, it is entirely possible.
