Because of the ransom paid by Simarui, after consulting the Chincha Lord, the Bukui Legion gave the soldiers a bounty.

15 taels per soldier, 16 taels for squad leaders, 17 taels for platoon commanders, 18 taels for company commanders, 19 taels for battalion commanders, and 20 taels for regiment commanders and above.

Because Jia Min now has no official position, he doesn't.

Jia Min naturally didn't care about a little silver, Feng Ziying and the others studied it together, and they also felt that it was better not to give Jia Min.

For a mere 200 taels of silver, it is not worth it to ask Chief Min to bear the name of a penny.

After the victory of recovering South Wendura and the division of money, the year of the government corps was very happy. Compared to the atmosphere of defeating the four major tribes last year, it is even better.

The families of Feng Ziying and others are also well-informed people in the imperial capital. The news that the imperial court was going to abolish the government corps also reached their ears through channels.

However, this does not seem to cause much of a reaction from them.

However, from the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the prefectural corps began an activity that seemed unrelated to military training: technical training for soldiers.

In fact, the plan for this activity has been worked out a long time ago, but it was only temporarily shelved because he was busy training troops and preparing to recover South Windula.

Now that South Vendura has been recovered, there is no fighting, so it will be launched.

For technical training, the soldiers did not understand it at first, but still resolutely obeyed.

This kind of thing seems a little weird to others, but for the veterans of the government corps, they don't feel that there is anything wrong.

When Chief Min trained them, what didn't make people feel weird?

Practicing the aisle, folding quilts, and learning Chinese pinyin literacy, which one has ever done before? Besides, if you learn a craft, you will go home in the future, and you will have a living, such a good thing is not a fool to do.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Jia Min received a letter from Jiafu, in which he told Baoyu that he would marry Tana on the third day of the second lunar month and asked them to go home for the wedding.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Jia Min, Jia Lian, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun, Qin Zhong, Jia Qin, Jia Ping, Jia Zhi, Li Gui and other children of Jiafu set off to return to the imperial capital.

The head of Jia Lian's regiment was temporarily represented by Wei Ruolan, and the positions of the others were also temporarily deputized.

Due to the tight time and the tight schedule on the road, Baochai and other female dependents will not go back this time.

Before leaving, Jia Lian specially asked Daiyu's opinion, but Daiyu also refused and resolutely refused to go back.

There is only a group of men left, and the speed on the road is much faster.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, Jia Min and his entourage rushed to the Yangmingbao Military Station.

The Yangmingbao military station ordered Yang Dezhan to meet Jia Min. Naturally, they were overjoyed.

Since there was still plenty of time, Jia Min decided to stay here for two days and go to Sun Yuanfei's house to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

When Yang Dezhan heard this, he was naturally very happy, and without saying a word, he followed Jia Min and his party to Sun Yuanfei's house together.

After the battle to recover South Wendula last year, Sun Yuanfei went home with his men. Because he participated in the battle to recover South Vendura, and he had been searching for his subordinates there before, he returned home this time, which can be said to be a return with honors and a return to his hometown.

His bosses, colleagues, family members and fellow villagers held a grand welcoming ceremony at the Yangmingbao Military Terrace. made Sun Yuanfei feel that he finally had the face to go home to see his father and fellow villagers.

I was naturally very happy to see Jia Min coming this time. The children of Jiafu who are traveling with them are also acquaintances, and they are not polite when they meet.

So, just like last year, I had fun at Sun's house. The Sun family was naturally warmly hospitable, and the people from Kaiyuan Mansion and Yangmingbao also came when they heard the news.

Because Jia Min gave Sun Yuanfei the exploits and honors of recovering South Wendula, so that they were also honored, so they were even more enthusiastic.

has been here for three days, and then reluctantly let Jia Min wait for him to go back.

On the seventeenth day of the first month of the first month of the year of Jimao, the general consul of Wendula affairs, the minister of the Qincha affairs, and the prince Teng of the Jingying Festival, was reading a book in the post house, and Master Jiang came in.

"Shi Weng, an urgent official letter from Ma Zhuang."

Wang Ziteng opened the fire paint seal and pulled out the official document.

This is a joint official document of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials, and after taking a look, the prince sighed and handed the official document to Master Jiang.

When Master Jiang saw it, he was also surprised.

"How can this be done? There is nothing wrong with General He taking over Bu Kui, but in this way, where will Feng Ziying and the others be? ”

"Alas, it is full of rat-eyed people, who think they are clever in their means, but in fact they are destroying the Great Wall. Previously, I had promised Huaiyuan and Feng Ziying that Feng Ziying would take over Bu Kui, but now that the court has dealt with it like this, wouldn't it make me a rebel, and tell me how to explain to them? ”

"These people, with such poisonous intentions, asked Jialin to take over Bukui, clearly to sow discord between our Beijing camp and the Fu Corps, and make our two families suspicious of each other."

Jialin is He Jialin, who is the general He Jialin.

"The government corps is loyal to the imperial court and has made immortal feats, how can it not be chilling to deal with it like this? Although Jialin is also a good general, compared to Feng Ziying and others, it is still a little worse, and it is even worse than Huaiyuan. ”

Wang Ziteng's evaluation is still quite pertinent.

"In this way, the next step is to abolish the government corps. Alas, what a pity. There are many merits in the government corps, if you train according to their methods, if you have a year or two of hard work, the military equipment of the imperial court will have a new look, why can't these people see this step? ”

"It's all for their own face and self-interest, and how many of them really think about the community?"

"Shi Weng, how to deal with this matter?"

"What else can be done? Just follow the script. ”

"Is it to tell Jialin's side to be on guard?"

"Never. First, the government and the corps are loyal and trustworthy. Second, if you are vigilant, after all, it will not help, but will cause suspicion and hurt peace. Third, even if it is guarded, what is the use, where are our people, where are their opponents? If there is a real fight, it will not last long, and the whole army will be annihilated. ”

"It's embarrassing, if Huaiyuan is here, maybe it's better to say something."

"Don't worry too much, isn't the government corps teaching the soldiers their skills now, I think they also expected this, so they will arrange the way back in advance. In this way, you go to Feng Ziying and tell him that I will invite the officers above the battalion commander of their government corps to have a drink at the Red House nightclub tonight. ”

"This?"

"Go ahead, it's okay. I'm Min's uncle, and they won't do anything to me. ”

At six o'clock in the evening, Feng Ziying, Yang Lin and other senior officers of the government corps and senior officials of the Yamen rushed to the Red House Nightclub.

Although everyone didn't know why Lord Qincha suddenly invited them to eat and drink, it was not surprising that there had been rumors of the disbandment of the prefectural corps.

Although I didn't say it, I guessed that today must have something to do with it.

After three rounds of drinking, Wang Ziteng was still hesitant and didn't know how to speak.

"Lord Chincha, what is the matter with coming to us today? Please speak directly. We are all subordinates of Chief Min, and the Lord is Chief Min's uncle, although Chief Min is not here, but we still recognize Chief Min's uncle. ”

Feng Ziying saw that the prince was hesitant, and she had already guessed it in her heart. Knowing that he was embarrassed, he said it himself.

"Yes, you don't have to be polite. Although we are only government soldiers, we are also officials of the imperial court, and if the imperial court has any arrangements, we will obey it. ”

Chen Yejun also helped.

"Yes, my lord, please speak directly, after talking about official business, I can eat and drink to my heart's content. If you don't say it, I won't be sure, and I won't be fragrant when I eat wine. ”

Zhao Dahai didn't care about others, picked up the cup by himself, and drank a cup first.

"Look at this."

Wang Ziteng took out the official document from his sleeve and handed it to Feng Ziying.

Feng Ziying read it, and then handed it to Chen Yejun, followed by Wei Ruolan, Jiao Li, Lin Dajiang, Feng Zijing, Chen Yeqing, Zhao Dahai and others.

After everyone had finished reading the official document, the prince stood up with a wine glass in his hand.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I promised to reinstate you Chief Min. However, Huaiyuan resolutely refused. Your chief Min once told me that he asked Chief of Staff Feng to take over Bu Kui. I also think Chief of Staff Feng is the best candidate. ”

"The old man did go to the court and asked Chief of Staff Feng to take over Bu Kui. But now that there has been a change, the old man is ashamed, and he punishes himself three cups here, and asks for guilt. ”

As he spoke, Wang Ziteng drank three glasses in a row, and his movements were very fast, all in one go.

As soon as he finished drinking, General He stood up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I just learned about this matter today, and I never knew about it beforehand. For taking over Bu Kui, I actually have no interest in it, and I don't have this talent, so unexpectedly, it makes me difficult to argue, please don't misunderstand. I also punish myself with three cups, and I plead with you. ”

As soon as General He took a drink, he was stopped by Feng Ziying.

"Lord Qincha, don't blame yourself, this matter has long been expected by us, and now that Zhun Xin'er has come, it is a good thing."

"As for whether to take over Bu Kui, to be honest, I don't have much interest in it. Not only me, but even the rest of us, have little interest in official positions. ”

"The reason why we joined the army was only because of a coincidence that we happened to follow Chief Min, and we made some small contributions. I only thought about being a soldier and doing my duty, and never thought of asking for merit and rewards, relying on this to win glory and wealth. ”

"For the sake of the imperial court, Chief Min did not hesitate to lose his fame and reduce his post for the people, and he also resolutely opposed a rash war. The reason why he did this was just to do his part. ”

"When I joined the army, like Chief Min, I did my duty. Now that the overall situation of Bukui has been decided, we have a clear conscience. As for how the imperial court arranges it, we will naturally obey it. ”

"To tell you the truth, we have also heard rumors about the abolition of the government corps, and we have a plan in our hearts about this. Not to mention that General He took over Bu Kui, even if the imperial court abolished the government corps, we would not say a word, and let Lord Qincha dispose of it. ”

"The wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and the bird will hide the truth, we also understand, so the two adults must not blame themselves, tomorrow He will officially take over, we will fully cooperate, and we will never slack off."

"In the future, if the government corps is abolished, please tell me bluntly, and we will do it."

"I propose that this is the end of today's business, we have met once, and we have a great relationship, and I have great admiration for Lord Chincha. Don't miss the meal and drink because of business, spoil the atmosphere, come, cheers! ”

"Cheers!"

Everyone in the government corps toasted one after another, and after that, they did not mention the matter again, which made Wang Ziteng and General He feel quite guilty.
