Chapter 4: Black Eyes See Silver (2nd Update)

Although the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, is also considered a Beijing battalion, it is not like the ordinary Beijing battalion that is all children of the Eight Banners, but a mixed formation of the Banner and the Han, so in the setting of the official position, it is also the establishment of both the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion, which is very peculiar.

The yamen was located in Chongwenmen, and Guan Zhuofan was wearing official clothes and arrived early. I wondered in my heart, I don't know what kind of errand I can get?

He Yiwei is a very bold person, wearing a third-grade military attache uniform, he looked at him slightly, and said with a smile: "Lord Sheng told Lord Wen to make up for you in Nanying." You're lucky, recently foreign devils have entered the city, we have all vacancies, you can make up for a commissioned infantry captain, although it is from the sixth grade, in the end it is promoted to a level, it is also considered a sixth grade, and the complement and the top can be changed. ”

Guan Zhuofan was stunned for a moment, followed by a joy, knowing that this was mostly the effect of the "fourth aunt" pillow wind. However, it seems that Shengbao's impression of himself is at least not bad, otherwise he can't be promoted as soon as he comes.

As for the Lord Wen mentioned by He Yiwei, it should be Wen Xiang, who was the Minister of Military Aircraft at the time and the commander of the infantry army, which is the so-called Admiral of the Nine Gates. Wen Xiang is a famous minister of the dynasty, the leader of the banner people, both shrewd and capable, but also upright and peaceful, is the key figure in the future changes in the court. Being able to be an errand under his men, Guan Zhuofan's satisfaction in his heart went to another level. At that moment, he respectfully said goodbye, stood up, and handed over an envelope with both hands. He Yiwei took it, and he didn't shy away from it, opened it and took a look, and saw that it was a hundred taels of dragon head tickets, and said with a smile: "No wonder your kid was promoted, thank you." ”

"It's all about cultivating with adults!"

"Well, I heard that you are a person from the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and you have seen a battle with the French devils outside the city, and your riding skills and martial arts must be haode. We call it the Infantry Yamen, in fact, there are all kinds of organs, and the horse team is also important. There are three horse teams in the South Camp, you bring one! Then he explained to him the regional route to be patrolled every day and the rules of the handover on duty. When he was finished, Haha smiled: "Xiaoguan, don't say that I didn't take care of you, the horse team is easy and majestic, and you don't need to go out of the city to fight, you can take care of these ninety or so people and one hundred horses for me!" ”

Guan Zhuofan simply invited Shuang'an, and said in his heart: This is Shengbao's confession again, and the effect of my silver ticket, it can be seen that this thing of officialdom is linked one by one, and it is very knowledgeable, but it has suffered my knees, Lao Tzu has been in this life...... In my previous life, I have never knelt so many times combined.

Then under the guidance of the clerk in the yamen, he took the ministry photo from the sixth grade and the official uniform of the sixth grade. The infantry army commanded the yamen, which was equivalent to the garrison area and police station of the capital, so it was smooth and smooth to do things, and there was almost no trouble, and it was inevitable to send some happy money and tea money, which cost less than twenty taels of silver. I calculated in my heart, since I went out to run errands, I have spent nearly five hundred taels in the past few days, and half of my net worth has disappeared. couldn't help but secretly speak, and said in his heart that if he was promoted again, wouldn't Lao Tzu be bankrupt?

However, when I arrived at the barracks, I realized that I had made a big mistake. His battalion of horses had four sentinels, each with a quota of twenty-four cavalrymen. After receiving the news, there is a new pipe band transferred from the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and it is said that it is still Shengbao's favor, who is willing not to flatter? I waited at the gate of the camp early, and when I saw him coming, I swarmed into the barracks, and greeted him one after another, and while greeting him indiscriminately, I stuffed four envelopes into the hands of Captain Guan.

Captain Guan was not as thick-skinned as the adults, and it wasn't until several sentry commanders retreated that he opened the package with a red face - after all, this was the first bribe he had received in his life and his previous life combined. The four envelopes were opened, and inside each was a silver ticket of fifty taels, which added up to two hundred taels. After a while, it finally dawned on me that being an official is really the same as doing business.

After being on duty at night, when I returned home, the eyes of the family were straight: this third young master, when he went out in the morning, he was a seventh grade, and when he came back in the evening, he became a sixth grade, which one is this?

However, the surprise returned to the surprise, and the joy in my heart was clearly revealed. When it was time to eat, there was another big table of dishes, not to mention, even the Bai family accompanied him to drink two glasses of wine, and Tubo was even more on the side, chattering and pointing out Xiaofu, what is the top of the clam and what is the repair of Xiubiao.

Guan Zhuofan thought about it himself, and he also felt quite incredible. When he first crossed over, he was still a nine-rank sesame official who knelt on the ground and waited to kill his head, but now he was already wearing the uniform of a six-rank martial arts, and he grandly brought up a team of centaurs in Beijing, no matter what, the speed of this promotion is not slow.

And at this beginning, can Weishenme go so smoothly? He thought about it and slowly realized a few things.

First, there is the relationship between the existence and non-existence of the Shengbao. Relationship, there are near and far, relatives and aliens, unless it is your father, the rest, it all depends on how you run it.

Second, be willing to invest your capital. Speaking of which, Zhou Jiayu's gold and silver have helped him a lot.

Third, it's a bit of a real thing. He was able to survive under Shengbao's hands, relying on accurately predicting the movements of the French army.

Fourth, a little guts are also needed. It all started with the cry "I'm not convinced!" "At the beginning, if he hadn't shouted out at that time, then not only himself, but even Lao Cai and Lao Ah would have to do a bunch of finishes.

Fifth, there must be a few good buddies and good friends. Like Lao Cai, he helped himself at a critical time, if he didn't have this handful, he wouldn't necessarily be mixed up now.

Another important point is the identity of the flag man who crossed over. Over the years, the children of Eight Banners have become more and more unproductive - think about it, everyone has a stable money and food, who is willing to fight to the death? Originally, in the past few years of war, most of the meritorious service were Han Chinese, and those who had empty rank and could not be awarded real posts were all kinds of registered military attachés who were usually filled in vacancies, and they were the most ruthless. However, the lack of flags in the Beijing camp is usually made up by flag people, which invisibly cheapens itself.

After thinking of these, I laughed first - in two years, I should be able to write "Officialdom Heart Sutra", "Thick Black Guide" or something.

And thinking of the money and food of the banner people, I couldn't help but think of the second brother Zhuo Ren, it seemed that it was not the first time to come to the house to make trouble, so I thought of an explanation and asked Bai: "When I was away a few days ago, Zhuo Ren still came often?" ”

"Well, I've been used to it for a long time." Bai Shi sighed, "It's not that I'm talking about him, think about it, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, plus a good puff of smoke, how much money can he toss?" is very poor, you have to think of money to get money, it turns out that every time you come to me, how much can you cheat a few children, and then the family really can't get by, how can there be something to fill his hole? The words in my mouth are getting worse and worse. If you hadn't been in ...... today."

"That woman of his, don't care about him, just let him be?"

Bai Shi heard that Guan Zhuofan was not called the second sister-in-law, glanced at him, and said: "Your second sister-in-law is not a good ......" shook his head, unwilling to say any more, and said with a smile: "It's a very happy day, why are you talking about these unhappy people?" Eat more, eat well and rest, you will have to get up early tomorrow morning to run an errand in the Yamen. Running a horse on the street is tiring enough. "The pity is palpable.

The next day, as expected, I went to the commander's yamen early in the morning to answer the ceremony, but today I didn't have to run a horse.

"The place where King Gong negotiated peace with the foreigners has been changed to the hall of the Ministry of Rites in the south of the city, and the guards are not enough." He Wing Lieutenant commanded, "The horse team is not needed, and there is a patrol camp on the periphery." Officers with positions have to help serve as the guard of the inner hall in the past two days. ”

Guan Zhuofan received the order, took two sentinels, came to the hall of the Ministry of Rites at the entrance of South Street, and entered the inner hall as a guard according to the assignment - to put it bluntly, it was to stand on duty. The military attachés wearing supplementary uniforms, together with the guards, lined up around the inner hall, pressed the handle of the knife with their hands, raised their chests and protruding bellies, and did not squint, so as to raise the prestige of the Qing Dynasty and maintain the only remaining face.

As soon as the hour arrived, negotiators from both sides entered. On the side of the imperial court, the one who walked in the front, heroic and brilliant, was naturally the sixth brother of the emperor, Prince Heshuo who was appointed to preside over the Fuju Bureau in Beijing-Prince Gong.

Guan Zhuofan's "historical disease" has been committed again, and his heart is pounding. Watching these famous characters in the books actually walk in front of him alive is the highest dream of every historian. He was so excited that he almost forgot his identity, and he couldn't wait to rush forward and pull King Gong's sleeve: "Idol, sign a name?" ”

The representatives of the imperial court were finished, followed by the representatives of England and France. Guan Zhuofan knew that the tall and thin foreigner with a high nose and deep eyes walking in front must be the British and French plenipotentiary negotiators, British Minister Ergin. Although I knew that this was a negotiation with the participation of diplomats, I still muttered a little in my heart, it was better not to meet an officer of the British army, so as not to recognize him and embarrass everyone.

Before the thought was finished, I saw a thin Chinese man in a white suit and a black top hat walking in front of him. This figure is engraved in Guan Zhuofan's heart and will never be forgotten.

Gong Xiaogong, Mr. Gong, let's meet again.
