Zhu Youxiao looked at Qin Botong's depressed appearance, and couldn't help but glance at Lu Xiangsheng. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Last night, he and Lu Xiangsheng discussed overnight how to confer the official titles of these 30 officers and students, and Lu Xiangsheng originally suggested from the beginning that Qin Botong should be awarded the rank of Major General, General Zhaoyi, who is the third grade.

Although Lu Xiangsheng didn't have a good impression of Qin Botong who was counting on promotion and fortune at first, during training, Lu Xiangsheng felt more and more that although this Qin Botong was a ruffian, he was very flexible and could afford to put it down, especially in arranging troops, he had a talent that was different from ordinary people, and he was very good at flexibility.

However, Zhu Youxiao thought that Qin Botong was more than agile but not calm, and what he wanted was not an officer with too distinct personality, but an officer who first obeyed his orders and obeyed his command.

Moreover, compared with Yu Chang Trillium, Qin Botong obviously pays too much attention to fame and fortune. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao deliberately wanted to let this outstanding officer who regarded himself very highly as a student taste a sense of frustration.

At the same time, considering that Chang Yanling was too humble and had a very high consciousness, he simply promoted him by half a level and became a general of Dingyuan from the second-rank rank.

In his previous life, he was familiar with how to control the psychology of patients, in order to make these officers and students completely loyal to him, he could not only rely on conspiracy, and sometimes he could not do without conspiracy.

Seeing that Qin Botong's face was tense and walked towards him with a straight kick, Zhu Youxiao also deliberately squeezed out a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Congratulations, excellent Colonel Qin Botong." ”

Captain? The first time he heard this word from His Majesty's mouth, Qin Botong thought that he could not be a school official in his life, so he didn't care about the difference between a colonel and a colonel, but now, when this sentence came out of His Majesty's mouth, his heart seemed to be like a knife.

When His Majesty called the officers and cadets in front of him, he was shouting something and something, but when he came to himself, he was quickly changed to a colonel.

Qin Botong forcibly squeezed out a wry smile, and then solemnly gave Zhu Youxiao a military salute: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

After Zhu Youxiao put on his epaulettes, he didn't have any pride, and even he wanted to step down immediately, it was best to find a place where no one was there to drink a jar of wine.

There was still applause below, but Lu Xiangsheng did not applaud, he remembered what His Majesty said to him that day, that is, Qin Botong is smart and treacherous, not more loyal and honest than Chang Yanling, nor more honest than Fu Dahai, if you want him to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the emperor.

Then, the wicked person who deliberately lowered Qin Botong's official rank can only be promoted by him Lu Xiangsheng.

Seeing this Lu Xiangsheng, the left attendant and chief trainer of the military department, who had been scolding him for a month, Qin Botong couldn't help but feel that he was not awarded the rank of general, maybe it really had something to do with him.

Qin Botong was followed by Lu Jiayu, a seventeen-year-old boy who was only awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel, the official worship of General Wude of the fourth grade, and was appointed as the commander of the engineer battalion, but he was not unhappy at all, because this was his first official position, which was already very high compared to many people.

After Lu Jiayu was conferred the official post, the commanders of the battalions of the newly formed Praetorian Guard were arranged.

The remaining 20 or so officers and cadets were awarded military ranks ranging from major to lieutenant, and the rank of loose officers below the fifth rank, and served as thousands of households in each battalion.

It was not until near noon that the ceremony of conferring the official title was announced.

According to the pre-arrangement, after the ceremony of conferring official ranks, these officers and cadets will first take a five-day vacation, and after the end of the five days, the training of the Praetorian Guards will be officially carried out.

On the contrary, he had to improve the plan for training 10,000 Praetorian Guards as soon as possible within five days based on the experience gained in the training of these cadets.

Zhu Youxiao is not a military student, but he insists on adding some modern military theoretical knowledge, Lu Xiangsheng is familiar with military books, knows how to train soldiers, but does not know how the army of later generations is different from the army of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, this became the first problem in the training of the Praetorian Guard, but now in the process of short-term training of the officers and students, the ideas of the two were finally understood by the other party, so they had to discuss again and form a perfect training plan.

"Father-in-law Liu, I want to see Your Majesty, please give me a good word."

All the officers and students have left the Forbidden City and gone home, but Qin Botong is still staying in this training place, begging Liu Ruyu.

It's not that Qin Botong doesn't want to go home, but if he doesn't understand why he is positioned with such a low official rank, his heart knot will not be untied, so he must ask clearly.

Liu Ruyu saw that he was begging bitterly, and thought that this person was also a person from the Duke of Wei, and seeing that these officers and students would definitely become His Majesty's most important pro-army generals in the future, he had no choice but to sell this favor.

"Come with me", Liu Ruyu took Qin Botong and was about to see Zhu Youxiao, but before he arrived at the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, he saw Lu Xiangsheng coming over.

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng saw Qin Botong and Liu Ruyu coming, he arched his hand towards Liu Ruyu and glanced at Qin Botong very coldly.

"Your Majesty, the new commander of the Janissary Battalion, Qin Botong, asks to see you!" Liu Ruyu and Qin Botong are not qualified to enter Xinuan Pavilion casually, and they can only wait for the small yellow door outside to report.

When Zhu Youxiao heard that it was Qin Botong who asked to see him, he couldn't help but smile, and he also guessed that this Qin Botong was because he was too low, so he hurriedly ordered someone to bring them in.

"Qin Botong, what is the matter with you coming to see me, you can tell me directly", Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon chair pretending not to know, and reviewed the folds very seriously.

"Weichen is for the appointment of the official Your Majesty this morning, where is Weichen inferior to General Chang and General Fu?"

Qin Botong thought that since he had come to the palace, he would simply grit his teeth and explain the incomprehension in his heart, so as to save his heart from feeling uncomfortable in the future.

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao put down the fold in his hand, stood up, walked in front of Qin Botong, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Botong, I have seen your performance this month, I wanted to directly award you the rank of major general, the same as Chang Yanling, but Lu Shilang said that you are a little impetuous and frivolous, and you pay attention to fame and fortune and have no consciousness of sacrificing yourself to save the people, so I suggest that I frustrate your spirit." However, you can rest assured that if you make meritorious contributions in the future, I will not hesitate to reward and be promoted. ”

Hearing His Majesty's personal explanation, Qin Botong was relieved a lot, and when he thought that a small commander of his own would question His Majesty for this matter, it was really a bit disrespectful, but His Majesty didn't blame himself at all, and his gratitude to Zhu Youxiao in his heart was deeper, and compared with His Majesty today, His Majesty still knows his true ambition better. Unconsciously, Zhu Youxiao was regarded as a confidant by Qin Botong.

"However, Qin Botong, I have to warn you, you are not allowed to resent Lu Shilang, Lu Shilang is not only strict with you, but also with others, you see that his own brother's position is lower than yours, and these are my decisions!"

Seeing His Majesty's warning, Qin Botong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen does not dare to hate Lu Shilang, Weichen is His Majesty's person, even if Your Majesty lets the minister be a small soldier, the minister is willing!" ”
