Jin Daoming originally saw that he was going to be unlucky, but he didn't expect someone to help him at a critical time. You must know that although Jin Daoming knows some battlefield fighting skills, but now this is not a battlefield, these hooligans will only sprinkle lime with black hands, and they will definitely be unlucky if they really want to face them.

Jin Daoming heard that someone upstairs was helping him, and when he looked up to thank him, he saw that it was an old acquaintance, it was Jiang Pengju.

Jin Daoming actually has nothing to do with Jiang Pengju, but they are both from the line of King Zhu Jiang of Qin, so he drank a few times when he was in Nanjing. Today, Jin Daoming was very embarrassed to see Jiang Pengju here, how did Jin Daoming say that he was also the prince of the county, and he was almost beaten today because he didn't bring money to visit the kiln, and he was really embarrassed to let his acquaintances see it. Jin Daoming hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be General Jiang!" ”

Jiang Pengju was dismissed from the post of commander of the second division after he came out of the edict prison, and he became the deputy of the commander of the Jiumen in Beijing.

Jiang Peng went downstairs and took Jin Daoming's hand and asked, "Didn't the prince commit a lawsuit?" How dare you come out and have fun? ”

Jin Daoming blushed at the mention of this and said: "Your Majesty, seeing that my father is old, he asked me to go home to serve my father, but the lawsuit is still over!" Referring to the adulterer Zhu Hongsan, Jin Daoming paused obviously, after all, he was able to come out and have fun because his wife found a wild man to blow the pillow wind.

Jiang Pengju didn't know about Jin Daoming's family, and when he saw Jin Daoming's bad expression, he thought that he was still angry about being insulted for not having money just now.

Jiang Pengju scolded those turtle slaves: "You bastards are really blind, this is the dignified prince of the county, can you miss your few silvers?" ”

When the beaten turtle slave heard that it was really the prince of the county, he quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Now that the new dynasty has been established, there are only a few princes, except for Zhu Hongsan's sons who are princes, the other county kings are not something that he can provoke as a little turtle slave.

Seeing that Jiang Pengju was angry with himself, Jin Daoming felt a lot better, he raised his foot and kicked the turtle slave, and scolded: "In his mother's house, let you look down on people, don't let Lao Tzu get away!" ”

After sending away the turtle slave, Jin Daoming arched his hand and said: "Thanks to Brother Jiang today, or the younger brother will be bullied by these guys!" Isn't Brother Jiang on the battlefield in Liaodong? How did you come back when you were free? ”

Hearing Jin Daoming ask Jiang Pengju said with a wry smile: "I'm not afraid of my brother's jokes, my brother is no longer the division commander, and now he is serving as a deputy general in the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, and is on an errand under your eldest brother!" ”

Jin Daoming listened to his uncle? Is that one? Ma Jiyuan has two sons, one is his sister-in-law Ma Shaoguang, who is a political envoy in Guangdong, and the other is his concubine Ma Rufeng, who is also Ma Ruyun's second brother, who is a division commander under Ma Kun, is Ma Rufeng back?

Jin Daoming hurriedly asked, "But Ma Rufeng?" ”

Jiang Peng nodded and said: "It is the commander of the horse, His Majesty set up the infantry army to command the yamen, responsible for the defense of the nine gates of the capital, as well as night patrols, firefighting, compilation and armor protection, bans, arrests, prison breaks, etc., which can be regarded as a high authority!" ”

After Jiang Pengju finished speaking, he took Jin Daoming's hand and said, "It just so happens that you are here, let's go upstairs and drink some together, except for Commander Ma and King Qin, they are not outsiders!" ”

Jin Daoming was also overjoyed when he heard that King Qin was also overjoyed, and he could just ask King Qin to say good things to him to avoid being cut by that adulterer.

Jin Daoming followed Jiang Peng upstairs, and turned around to the last room, which was very secluded, and there were four big men standing at the door, Jin Daoming knew at a glance that these four people were veterans who had been trained by the war, and they seemed to be the personal soldiers of King Qin.

Jiang Pengju pushed open the door, the furnishings in the room were very simple, there was a table of eight immortals in the middle of the ground, and a young man in his twenties was sitting on the main seat, with a fierce face, it was Zhu Hongsan's second son, Zhu Jiang, the king of Qin. On the side of Zhu Jiang sat a middle-aged man in his forties, with a short beard, as if he was whispering something to Zhu Jiang, and he didn't speak when he saw someone coming in, this person was Jin Daoming's uncle Ma Rufeng. There is a pair of chopsticks at the bottom, it seems that it should be Jiang Pengju's seat, there are only three people in the house, and there is no girl in the brothel.

Zhu Jiang saw Jiang Pengju leading Jin Daoming in, so he quickly stood up and arched his hand and said, "It turns out that my uncle-in-law is here, and my nephew is polite here!" ”

Zhu Jiang is a prince or a prince, and his status is far higher than that of Jin Daoming. Jin Daoming didn't dare to take it big, so he quickly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and said, "Minister Jin Daoming has seen His Royal Highness King Qin!" ”

Zhu Jiang laughed and said: "Uncle, hurry up, it's all your own people here, don't play this game!" After speaking, Zhu Jiang stepped forward and helped Jin Daoming up.

At this time, the soldiers outside the door brought in a pair of chopsticks and put them in Jiang Peng's hand, Zhu Jiang saw it and said angrily: "What are you doing?" It's rude, put the prince's dishes and chopsticks under the king's head! ”

Jin Daoming hurriedly said: "How dare you, the kid dares to be above General Jiang!" ”

Jiang Pengju smiled and said: "The prince asks you to sit on it, you can sit down, that nonsense!" After Jiang Pengju finished speaking, he pressed Jin Daoming to the chair on Zhu Jiang's right hand.

After they all sat down, Zhu Jiang first asked, "I just heard that my uncle-in-law came back this afternoon, didn't he go to the Imperial Prison?" How did you get home? ”

Jin Daoming hurriedly said about the edict just at noon, and then said against his will: "This is all Your Majesty's kindness, or the minister is still suffering in the edict!" Jin Daoming didn't dare to show a little disrespect to Zhu Hongsan in front of Zhu Jiang, Zhu Jiang is Zhu Hongsan's own son, scolding Lao Tzu in front of his son, it's strange if Zhu Jiang doesn't kill you!

Zhu Jiang nodded, and then said: "I see, it's a pity that this king is now at home, and his ability is limited, so he can't solve problems for his uncle!" Zhu Jiang was afraid that Jin Daoming would ask him for help, so he hurriedly spoke and blocked Jin Daoming's mouth.

Jin Daoming smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that what he said in the afternoon is really right, he has no official position now, and even King Qin has begun to alienate himself.

Ma Rufeng said on the side: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, since Your Majesty is willing to let you go home, there must be no big deal, brother-in-law, don't worry!" Ma Rufeng was a little worried about Jin Daoming, because Ma Ruyun was his own sister, and Jin Daoming's two sons were his nephews, and he couldn't help but be worried about the blood connection.

Jin Daoming smiled bitterly and said, "Borrow the second brother's auspicious words!" ”

With Jin Daoming here, Zhu Jiang and the three of them couldn't talk about anything else, so they had to say something about the ups and downs. In this way, the three of them drank while talking, Jin Daoming was really sad because he had something in his heart, and he was even more worried about drinking, and soon he didn't wake up. Zhu Jiang glanced at it and asked his soldiers to send Jin Daoming home, and the three of them continued to drink here.

Jin Daoming left, Jiang Pengju had something to say, Jiang Pengju poured Zhu Jiang a glass of wine, and then said in a low voice: "Your Highness, see if this Jin Daoming can be used!" ”

Zhu Jiangyi frowned and asked, "This Jin Daoming has already lost power, what use value does it have?" In addition, Jin Daoming has a low eye and a limited ability! ”

"Hehe, Your Highness doesn't know, our infantry commander Yamen is responsible for the defense of the Nine Gates, with a total of 26,000 soldiers and horses, although it can't be compared with the Praetorian Guard, but most of them are Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren's subordinates back then, and it is still useful to win over Jin Daoming!"

The full name of the commander of the infantry army is the commander of the Nine Men Infantry Army, which is the later secular name of the Nine Gate Admiral. This official position is not a product of the Ming Dynasty, but was established in the thirteenth year of Kangxi. In the early Ming Dynasty, the guard work of the capital was mainly responsible for the Yulin Army set up by Zhu Yuanzhang, which was divided into the left guard of Yulin and the right guard of Yulin, but these people were almost dead in the Tumubao Change.

In the Chenghua years, the formation of Tengxiang four guards and twelve regiment battalions, Tengxiang four guards are the royal guards under the management of the imperial horse supervisor, the total number of tens of thousands, but also all elite, is the most pampered an army, generally will not pull out to fight, unless the foreign enemy attacks the capital, will be put into battle when the country is going to die.

The Twelfth Regiment Battalion is the most elite forbidden army, which can be said to be the core of the forbidden army, with a total number of hundreds of thousands. Before the 12 regiments and battalions were jointly controlled by some lords, civil ministers, and ministers, Wang Zhi set a precedent in the period, and Wang Zhi was in charge, and Xianzong also specially authorized the Beijing army to decide the selection of the chief officer by Wang Zhi, and Wang Zhi selected the elite tens of thousands of people in the 12 regiments and battalions to go to Mongolia several times.

But in the era of Zhu Hongsan, Zhu Hongsan was different from the emperors of the previous dynasty, and did not believe in those poor people who had no eggs, so he imitated the system of the Qing Dynasty in later generations and formed an army in charge of the defense and security of the entire capital, that is, the infantry army commanded the yamen.

This unit is different from the main field corps, because it is mainly responsible for some public security incidents, so its combat effectiveness is not very strong. At the same time, in order to settle the troops who followed Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren to Nanjing in those years, Zhu Hongsan left more than 20,000 people to be responsible for the defense of the capital after being selected at various levels.

Of course, Zhu Hongsan also kept a hand, and in order to reduce Jin Shenghuan's influence, Zhu Hongsan said that some middle-level officers were sent under various names, leaving only ordinary soldiers, and at the same time selecting and transferring some loyal soldiers to serve as middle-level officers in the field troops, so that the entire army would be loyal to Zhu Hongsan. But after all, more than 20,000 people were from Jin Shenghuan's subordinates back then, no matter how Zhu Hongsan did it, Jin Shenghuan still had some influence in this team.

In addition to the 26,000-strong army, Zhu Hongsan also had a main force in the capital, that is, the Praetorian Guard led by Han Sanqiang. After entering Beijing, Zhu Hongsan doubled the size of the Praetorian Guard, which now has 30,000 people, and this is not a second-rate army, but a soldier with actual combat experience in various field units, and as long as this unit is there, Zhu Hongsan will not be afraid of anything.

Zhu Jiang heard that Jiang Pengju wanted to win over Jin Daoming for this, so he was frightened and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Brother Jiang, what are you going to do?" Privately wooing middle-level officers will commit capital crimes! ”

Ma Rufeng on the side also looked at Jiang Pengju dumbfounded, Ma Rufeng is actually not Zhu Hongsan's descendant, he is just a monk halfway. But Jiang Pengju is the descendant of the lineage, why did he want to oppose Zhu Hongsan?
