Chapter 45: The Three-in-command
Almost all the credit last time was attributed to Wu Weizhong, Dong Chengping, Han Dahu, these senior civil officials and military generals, Wang Zhengren was soft-spoken, even if he made great contributions, no one would pay much attention to the entire Denglai.
Having said that, if it is put in the place of Wendeng camp, Wang Zheng's pivotal role in this victory is like a mirror in everyone's hearts, and many people can see it clearly when they lead the six sentinel recruits to fight more than 1,000 water bandits outside Ninghai City, and no one will doubt the combat effectiveness of the sentinel recruits in Wang Zheng's hands.
......
In the early morning of August, the morning bell has not yet sounded, but the rooster has already begun to crow one after another.
Wang Zheng still got up early, took a deep breath after going out, and turned his head to see Wang Yu'er who was bending over to draw water.
The water level in the well is not high, Wang Yuer has always been malnourished, although there are several months of recuperation, but still seems a little weak, Wang Zheng saw her tiptoeing, laboriously picked up half a bucket of water, but could not lift it.
Wang Zheng looked anxious, walked over and held Wang Yu'er's hand, lifted half a bucket of water with a little force, knocked on her little head, and said with a smile: "In the future, this kind of thing will be handed over to Youyin Huangyang and them, so don't do it." ”
Wang Zheng put the bucket at his feet, and his words were full of concern: "What are you doing to fetch water so early?" ”
Raising her head and smiling at Wang Zheng, Wang Zheng's concern was beyond words, and Yu'er played a small drum in her heart, looking a little uncomfortable.
"I know, Yu'er thinks that she can do something within her part, and she is idle when she is idle."
"Silly Yu'er."
Shaking his head, Wang Zheng picked up the water and washed his face, the slightly cool water swept away the numbness of the morning, and at the same time Wang Zheng walked to the door next door and kicked the door hard.
"Youyin, Huang Yang, get up and train!"
"I know, I know, can I sleep a little longer, it's not enough for a quarter of an hour..."Huang Yang got up with sleepy eyes, the person hadn't come out yet, but the muttering had already reached Wang Zheng's ears.
"No, the current situation is not quiet, and there can be no delay for a day, hurry up and pull up Youyin, you two go and call Heizi, and call everyone up for training."
Wang Zheng's words were undoubted, Huang Yang had no choice but to nod, suddenly thought of something, walked straight to Yu'er's side, and asked with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, can you borrow a water scoop?"
Yu'er's face turned red to the root of her ears when she heard this title, and she muttered nothing, and Wang Zheng kicked it directly when she saw it, and scolded with a smile: "What are you talking nonsense, what do you want to do with the water scoop, can you still wash your face?" ”
"Why can't I wash my face, I will wash my face every day from now on."
Hehe smiled, after Huang Yang took the water scoop, he booed, and tiptoed back to the house with Yu'er's somewhat surprised eyes.
seemed to think of something, Wang Zheng's face became a little exciting.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Dong Youyin to howl like a pig, and Huang Yang threw down the water scoop and ran towards the king like a wind.
"Brother Zheng, save me!"
"Huang Yang! If I don't peel you off today, I won't be called Dong Youyin!! ”
Dong Youyin was sleeping soundly, hugging left and right in his dream, and the fierce rain drenched a chicken in the soup, and he chased out without wearing shoes in anger, and was standing outside the wooden door at the moment looking around.
"Okay, you, do you think that if you hide behind Brother Zheng, I won't be able to catch up with you?"
Finally found the main owner, Dong Youyin stared wide-eyed, and was about to come over after a few steps, and at this moment, the wooden door 'creaked', and a person walked in.
Everyone looked over, this person was wearing a fine leather and iron armor, and he was carrying a bright steel knife at his waist, and he laughed when he saw Wang Zheng.
"Wang Zheng, why do you kid wash your face every day? Don't wash, there's something big! ”
Seeing Gao Shan's brand-new outfit, Wang Zheng smiled and punched him, "Old Gao, this silver armor is not bad, it has some mighty meaning!" ”
"Hahaha."
After Gao Shan came in, he leaned against the well, "Wang Zheng, you can do it, don't talk to me, tell you, there is something big." ”
Seeing the chattering appearance of the mountain gods, Wang Zheng couldn't help but put down the water scoop in his hand and asked concentratingly: "What's the big deal, could it be that the white stripes in the waves are making a comeback?" ”
Hurriedly waved his hand, Gao Shan said disdainfully: "That guy was scared by you, and he left thousands of homeless people alone, and now he is busy dealing with the new water bandit called Black Fish from Wuwen River, where can I take care of our Wendeng." ”
Speaking of the black fish, Gao Shan couldn't help but take a few more breaths.
Wang Zheng understood in his heart but didn't say much, "You scared me, what's the big deal?" ”
"You don't know yet, your kid has been promoted, tsk, Jing Haiwei is in command, your kid is now a thousand presidents, the third-in-command of Wendeng Battalion!"
Dong Youyin was very surprised when he heard it, and opened his mouth wide, "... Commanding the Officer?! This is a four-grade official, what about me, do I have any officials! ”
This news came too suddenly, and although Wang Zheng had tried his best to adjust, he still couldn't bear it.
Although he didn't know much about the official position at this time, Wang Zheng could see from the envious and jealous eyes of Gao Shan, Dong Youyin and others that in such a small place, this commander should not be low.
From 100 to 1,000 presidents, and with the title of acting commander, Wang Zheng said that it was false if he was not excited.
Speaking of which, although the commander is a four-rank official, it sounds very high, but the command is a military position, and in this era of respecting literati, any official position linked to a martial artist will be greatly reduced in all aspects.
Not to mention those who are hereditary, just in the small place of Wendeng, there are five or six hereditary commanders from the third rank, not to mention the command of these four ranks, which are not worth anything at all.
Therefore, Wang Zheng didn't care about the official status of the four products, he was excited about the power in his hands, and now he could recruit new soldiers, and some local affairs in Wendeng, Wang Zheng already had the right to contact.
When the Wendeng battalion was first established in the Yongle period, the battalion officer was only the commander of the three products, and the military position was only the general, which was changed in the Wanli period, and the battalion officer was mostly a general, guerrilla, and garrison.
At present, during the Chongzhen period, it is not surprising that the deputy chief military officer was directly appointed as the battalion officer.
Wu Weizhong was the deputy commander-in-chief before he commanded the Wendeng battalion, and this time he made great contributions, and he was a close confidant of Yang Wenyue, the governor of Denglai, so he was naturally promoted to the chief military officer.
It's just that Wu Weizhong's chief military officer is different from the chief military officer guarding the nine borders, and Wu Weizhong's full name is "Governor Wendeng and Other Coastal Defense General Military Officer".
To put it bluntly, he is in charge of the defense and preparation of the coastal areas near Wendeng.
The status of the Wendeng battalion is closely related to the rank of the battalion officer, and now Wu Weizhong is the rank of the chief military officer, and correspondingly, the status of the Wendeng battalion has been greatly improved.
As a result, the Central Military Officer's Hall in Wendeng was naturally upgraded to the "Marshal's Mansion of Wendeng Coastal Defense".
Since the establishment of the Wendeng camp in the ninth year of Yongle, it has always been the governor of the camp, the commander of the Tongzhi and the commander of the general camp.
Wang Zheng was promoted to the commander of Jinghaiwei, although there was still no real power in the local guard, but he fell back in the Wendeng camp.
Wang Zheng's hands hold about 200 strong fighters, and they are already well-deserved third-in-command, and their status is only under Wu Weizhong and Gao Shan.
Now this position of commanding the affairs is naturally indisputable.
