"Liu Qianhu, the little girl's visit to the relatives will be escorted by you, and the official will be rewarded after the matter comes back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info," Governor Meng said warmly, rubbing his neatly trimmed black beard under his chin.

"Lord Xie, I will definitely live up to the trust of my lord, and protect Miss from crossing Jinggang Mountain safely," Liu Dacheng said loudly.

Meng Liangchen said: "This official knows that General Lu is strong in martial arts, but I heard that the Jinggang Five Tigers are not easy to deal with, and the predecessor of this official has sent troops to encircle and suppress it many times, but the result is ......" Speaking of this, he didn't go on.

Hitting people does not slap people in the face, and the officials present have been immersed in prostitution for many years, and some things cannot be explained thoroughly.

Although Lu Dacheng has the word Lu in his name, he is definitely not stupid, after listening to the words of Meng Zhifu, he said proudly: "My lord, please rest assured, although the Jinggang Five Tigers are said to have some skills, but they are not vegetarians, this time escort the young lady through Jinggang Mountain, if you don't meet them, if you do, you have to play with them......"

"Fool around, you play with them...... What should I do if my daughter makes a mistake......" Meng Zhifu reprimanded.

"I'm sorry, Lord Meng, I made a mistake in my humble position, please forgive me......" Lu Dacheng hurriedly bowed his head and pleaded guilty.

Glancing at him unhappily, Governor Meng said in his heart: "A rough soldier dares to say such a big thing, were you incompetent in the prefect before?" ”

After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the status of the military declined greatly, the whole society emphasized literature and light on military force, a seven-grade magistrate also dared to reprimand the commander of the third grade, and Lu Dacheng, a five-grade officer, was like a slave in front of the fourth-grade prefect Meng Liangchen.

Thinking that his daughter would have to rely on this person to escort Jinggang Mountain, Meng Liangchen's face squeezed out a little smile, and he smiled and said to Liu Dacheng: "General Lu has this ambition, this official is happy, and after this matter is completed, this official will go to the imperial court and send the general to encircle and suppress the Jinggang Five Tigers......"

"Thank you, Master Chengful!" Lu Dacheng said happily.

"That's it! General Lu's intentions are already known to the officer, so now go out with the officer to see your elite soldiers......" Meng Liangchen said.

Standing up, Lu Dacheng bowed and raised his hand and said, "Please proofread." Meng Liangchen walked out first. When I came to the outside of the palace, I saw 300 soldiers standing in a neat line, with swords and guns, and their armor was distinct, which was quite a bit of an elite soldier.

Meng Liangchen nodded secretly, smiled, and said in his heart: "This Lu Dacheng still has a hand in leading the troops. ”

Seeing this, Lu Dacheng smiled proudly, to be honest, for this escort mission, he pulled out one hundred elite soldiers among the remaining more than five hundred soldiers in the thousand households, and temporarily went to various casinos to borrow two hundred thugs as soldiers to make up the number, speaking of which, this can't be completely blamed on him, the army at the end of the Ming Dynasty in addition to the soldiers in the nine border towns still have some combat effectiveness, the soldiers in the rest of the place are already weak, the reason for this situation is many.

First of all, since the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the important towns of the nine sides have long faced the threat of the nomadic cavalry in the north, and most of the military expenditure is spent on the army of the nine sides, the military expenditure of the rest of the army is less, and the military expenditure of the army in the south is less. Although the military expenditure of the army in the south is small, but the number of the army is quite large, along with the corruption of politics, the army is also rapidly corrupted, because of the long years of not fighting, the soldiers have basically degenerated into hired farmers under the officers at all levels, in order to be promoted and make a fortune, the officers at all levels not only turn the soldiers under their command into hired farmers, but also desperately covet the soldiers' salaries, when the soldiers can not survive in the guard and sell their sons and daughters, it becomes a natural thing to run away.

In order to maximize the military salary of the soldiers who are greedy for ink, the officers at all levels still ask the higher authorities for military pay according to the amount of the original guards soldiers, and after the military salaries of the soldiers who have escaped are allocated, they will go into the pockets of the officers at all levels.

Lu Dacheng is also an ordinary soldier, and he is powerless in the face of this corruption in the army at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

"General Lu, the good soldiers you bring, when this officer sees Lord Chen Sheng, he must tell him the truth." Meng Liangchen said with a smile.

Bingbei Dao is the name of an official position. The Ming system set up Taoist personnel in important places in various provinces to reorganize the army. Before Yongle, there were no special officers in the general army in various places, and if there was something to do, the general would return to the court. Later, the border side was troubled, so the general army was stationed in the key areas of the provinces for a long time. During the reign of Hong Xi, he sent officials such as political officers and deputy envoys to the general military offices to assist in sorting out documents and discussing secrets, but he did not receive military affairs at that time.

Between Orthodoxy and Jingtai, the chief political secretary is often sent to participate in politics or to sort out documents and manage military affairs according to the deputy envoy of the inspectorate, which is a temporary dispatch. During the Hongzhi period, the "Taoists" who reorganized the military were all over the place, called the Soldier Preparation Road, which was aimed at strengthening the supervision and control of the local government, supervising the military, and directly participating in combat operations. This official is filled by an inspector or a commissioner, and is a kind of patrol road. It is also known as the deputy envoy of military armament, military constitution. There are titles such as rectifying the military preparation road, and raising the military preparation road.

The Ming Dynasty has always advocated the use of civil affairs to govern the military, civilian officials as military supervisors, formulate military plans, and make decisions on where to fight, how to fight, and what goals to have. What the generals need to do is to win the battle, so although there are many military books in the Ming Dynasty, they basically stay at how to train soldiers, how to strengthen the morale and obedience of soldiers, how to attack the city and pull out the village, this tactic and even the level of tactics - relatively speaking, the level is very low. At the strategic level, the overall situation is not at all, and it is all controlled by civilian officials.

Although Bingbei Dao is a civil official of the fifth grade, the grade is not high, and it is the same as the garrison, but the power is very great.

According to the History of the Ming Dynasty? According to the Records of Career Officials, there are about 200 provinces (about 250) in total. Among them, there are sub-patrol road, sub-guard road, grain supervision road, learning road, military preparation road, supervision road, Qing army road, Fuzhi road, Zhaolian road, Tuntian road, water conservancy road, pipe river channel, sudden preaching road, salt law road, military supervision road and so on. The main duties of the sub-patrol officials are to supervise the litigation and criminal law matters of the government, prefecture and county under their jurisdiction.

Qing Dynasty along the place. Patrol, guard, military road set tends to be integrated, from a single function of the institution to a set of civilian, financial, military and other special functions in one of the comprehensive institutions, the Republic of China period fixed as the local level between provinces and counties, from the perspective of system inheritance, the administrative inspector commissioner district office system directly inherited the Republic of China period of the Taoist system, from the perspective of operation mechanism and nature of functions, and the Ming and Qing dynasties of the Tao has a very close relationship with the origin.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! ......" Lu Dacheng's excited eyes lit up and thanked him repeatedly.

can enter the heart of Master Chen, a small thousand households, but he is a fish leaping into the dragon gate.

Out of Ji'an City, Lu Dacheng divided the three hundred soldiers into four groups, seventy in the front to open the road, thirty in the back to follow Miss Meng's carriage, and one hundred soldiers on the left and right to escort it, which seemed to be foolproof.

"Brothers, hurry up, send Miss Meng across Jinggang Mountain, escort to a safe area, we will complete the task, come back and I will invite everyone to drink wine and eat meat......" Lu Dacheng rode on a jujube red horse, with bright armor and a bright silver spear, looking majestic.

"General, are you telling the truth?" One of the creeps asked boldly.

Glancing at him, Lu Dacheng scolded with a smile: "Wang Gouzi, Lao Tzu never talks about it, and when he comes back, Lao Tzu sells ten pigs and twenty jars of wine, which will kill you ****." ”

"I'd rather be a full ghost than a hungry god, I haven't eaten meat for a year, and when I come back, I want to eat meat in large chunks, and eat that fat and oily fat meat......," Wang Gouzi said with a swallow of saliva.

"Wang Gouzi, don't talk about it, besides, Lao Tzu's saliva is about to come out......" The other soldier scolded with a smile.

"Hahahaha......" the other soldiers laughed together, and the group moved faster......

Three hours later, everyone had approached Jinggang Mountain, in order not to alarm the bandits on the mountain, everyone carefully avoided the bandits' checkpoint and turned over Jinggang Mountain. Looking back at Jinggang Mountain, which was gradually moving away, Liu Dacheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and commanded the soldiers to continue on their way.

At this time, the dust suddenly rose in front, and it seemed that soldiers and horses were coming towards him.

"Prepare to meet the enemy......" Lu Dacheng hurriedly shouted. The soldiers hurriedly drew their knives, held spears in their hands, and lined up in a circle to guard the carriage in which Miss Meng was sitting.

Soon, a group of men and horses approached, and there were three people on horseback, two men and one woman, and behind them were four or five hundred strong men in different clothes.

Lu Dacheng looked at it and sighed in his heart: "It's bad, I've met bandits!" He subconsciously clenched the barrel of the gun.

Neither side spoke, and confronted each other quietly.

After a while, the woman spoke, and she asked in a coquettish voice; "Are you waiting for the officers and soldiers of Ji'an Mansion? Who are the people in the car? ”

After looking at the comparison of the number of people on both sides, Lu Dacheng didn't dare to come hard, so he stepped forward, hung up the bright silver gun, and said: "In the Qianhu Lu Dacheng of Xia Ji'an Mansion, I was ordered by the prefect Meng to escort Miss Meng home, I don't know what the woman on the other side is called?" ”

"Giggles" laughed, the woman spoke, he said: "I am Liu Fangfei, one of the swallow tigers of Jinggang, those two are my second brother bantam tiger Chen Dashan, and the fourth brother mountain tiger Liu Youtian ......"

"Oh? …… After a long time, it turned out to be three heroes......" Lu Dacheng said, clasping his fists with a smile on his face.

"The people of the mountains and the wilderness dare not accept the great gifts of the thousand households." Bantam Tiger Chen Dashan said coldly. He was born as a smuggler and had no good impression of the people in the government.

Liu Youtian, the mountain tiger, looked at Lu Dacheng, and then looked at the soldiers with the knife out of the sheath, the bow on the string, the spear in hand, and the carriage they guarded, and smiled coldly, he said: "Lu Qianhu, you are an officer and soldier, I am a bandit and a bandit, don't get close to me, we still follow the rules." ”

"By the rules? I don't know what the rules Chen Erxia said? Lu Dacheng hurriedly asked.

"I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave to buy road wealth!" Liu Youtian said like an endorsement.

"You? ......" Lu Dacheng was a little angry, and said in his heart: "Damn, if you want to buy the road, the money will go to the heads of the officers and soldiers, and the hell is looking for ......death."
