The well-dressed beast was not a derogatory term at first, and in the early Ming Dynasty, it was an enviable term.

According to the imperial court system, the official uniforms of civil officials could be embroidered with birds, while the uniforms of military generals could draw animals.

For this reason, people call civil and military officials "well-dressed beasts".

Not everyone can wear official robes, and those who can wear the costumes of birds and animals are all people, and they are worthy of envy!

It's just that in the late Ming Dynasty, the civil and military generals were not angry, and only knew how to oppress the people, which was used to refer to well-dressed villains with despicable behavior.

Wang Teng paced into the main hall wearing a seven-grade green robe, which immediately attracted a round of praise, "What a beautiful man!" ”

Everyone laughed for a while, and immediately entered the banquet to celebrate.

The alcohol content was extremely low in the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Teng drank several glasses in a row and still did not change his face.

The Ulzhou officials were amazed, they saw Wang Teng's alcohol consumption for the first time, and they were immediately shocked.

It's just that you can't fight a war, and you can't admit it when you drink!

Several hundred households from the military guard were a little unconvinced, and they took turns to persuade them to drink, originally wanting to overthrow Wang Teng.

Who would have thought that Wang Teng would not refuse, but when he waited later, it would be the hundred households who got drunk first.

A bunch of brainless martial artists, who only know how to dominate the wine table!

The officials of the Ministry of War scoffed, but the mood was excellent, and Zhu Jixun, the right talent, had already offered a generous gift, which was enough to make his trip worthwhile.

It's just that above the banquet, everyone smiled, but Wei Yuan didn't say a word.

The official of the Ministry of War was quite puzzled: "Brother Wei, everyone is drunk, but you are the only one who doesn't drink, why is this?" ”

Wei Yuan frowned, "Wang Teng has been promoted to a thousand households and guards the place, this is the kindness of the Son of Heaven, but there are only more than 100 soldiers in the Inspection Division. How to stand up to the defensive load? ”

The officials of the Ministry of War are very embarrassed, the Ministry of War is really not kind at this point, only promotion, but not to soldiers, doesn't this mean that Wang Teng has to solve the problem of soldiers by himself?

It's just a matter of recruiting yourself, but you don't even have to solve the matter of paying money!

Wei Yuan borrowed the topic to play. It's nothing more than trying to ask for some silver taels.

The official of the military department pretended not to know, "What does Brother Wei mean?" ”

Wei Yuan Zhengse said, "When the border of the slave was built, the Guangling soldiers were seriously damaged, and I want to go to the imperial court and ask for the payment of silver for recruitment."

If the court had money, the rogues would not have rebelled.

The officials of the Ministry of War were very embarrassed, although Wei Yuan's excerpt had little to do with him. But after all, he is a Qincha, if the matter is really big, it will definitely not be a good thing for him, "Brother Wei, don't worry, Xu is a senior member of the ministry is busy with state affairs, and he has missed the matter of paying money, and I will report it on my behalf after I return to Beijing, if the silver has not been allocated." It's not too late for Brother Wei to play again."

Wei Yuan hesitated for a moment before responding, "That's fine." I'll leave this matter to Brother Mao."

The official surnamed Mao wiped a cold sweat, and finally calmed down, "Brother Wei is polite, but it's just an internal matter......"

Having said that, however, the official surnamed Mao has already run 10,000 Cao Nima in his heart. If it weren't for Lu Xiangsheng's face, he would know where he was so jealous!

There are people in the DPRK who are good officials!

It is reported that Lu Xiangsheng will be promoted soon, and it is obviously not a good thing to offend his disciples at this time.

It's just a matter of allocating some silver, and when the time comes, it means allocating a few hundred taels. Then hand it over to the local government!

As long as this stubble passes, after a long time, the Son of Heaven will forget about it, and at that time, if Wei Yuan doesn't open his eyes again, someone will clean him up!

After drinking and eating, it was getting late, Wang Teng stayed in the state city for one night, and only turned back early the next morning.

In November of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Huguang troops aided Hanzhong, defeated by Li Zicheng, and the deputy commander-in-chief Yang Zhengfang and the general Zhang Shida were killed.

At this time, Chen Qiyu's stabbed Louzi finally couldn't end.

Within a few days, Chen Qiyu was dismissed and convicted of ineffective suppression, and Hong Chengchou was appointed governor of five provinces (Shaanxi, Jin, Chu, Henan, and Sichuan).

At the same time, a will was conveyed to the world: Lu Xiangsheng, the squire of the military department and the governor of Huguang, was promoted to the left squire of the military department with merit, and the military affairs of Xuanfu, Datong and Shanxi were the governors.

When the news came out, Wang Teng was overjoyed, and so far, Lu Xiangsheng behind Wei Yuan has always been his biggest support, otherwise, a mere nine-grade inspection is not the opponent of Jin Shang Fan Yongdou anyway.

Now Lu Xiangsheng is the governor of Xuanda, and Wang Teng has also been promoted to a thousand households, which can be described as double happiness!

On the fourth day of November, the Dinghe Fort Inspection Department was crowded with civil and military officials.

Huang Hu and Huang Degong were overjoyed, and Zhang Blacksmith, who was dedicated to building firearms, put on brand-new official robes.

After Wang Teng's promotion, the commanders of the inspection department had their own rewards.

Huang Degong captured the Jurchen Jiala, promoted to 100 households, and pacified Dinghe Fort; Huang Hu was promoted to the nine-rank inspection, which happened to make up for Wang Teng's shortfall, and Zhang Blacksmith, Ma Wu, and Liu Tian were all rewarded by the general flag.

All of a sudden, the military fort was full of joy.

The wine and meat purchased from Datong have been made into cooked food, and Dinghe Fort has opened a feast!

Congratulations!

Wang Teng's dispatch has been decided, and he will serve as the defense officer of Guangling as a six-product thousand households, responsible for the defense of military forts and township forts in Guangling.

With the identity of the defender, Wang Teng can legitimately recruit soldiers.

How many soldiers are recruited?

From the perspective of dealing with the Jurchens, the more the better, but after the large-scale purchase, Wang Teng only had more than 1,000 taels of silver left in his hand, including the difference of 700 taels paid to Sulos.

Wang Teng would rather recruit fewer soldiers than fulfill his previous promise.

People do not stand without trust, and the reason why Guangling Xiangyong used his life in wartime was because they believed that Wang Teng would abide by his promise and eliminate their worries!

There are priorities, which is more important, Wang Teng naturally distinguishes clearly.

After discussing with Huang Degong and others, Wang Teng decided to recruit 500 people, and the rest of the shortfall would wait until the silver was abundant.

On the same day, a hot reward ceremony was held in Dinghe Fort, and Wang Teng personally distributed the reward silver according to the military exploits of Xiang Yong.

Two hundred villagers, each of whom was rewarded with about three taels!

This is a huge amount of money, one tael of silver can buy more than 700 catties of rice, if it is inferior corn, it is enough to buy more than 900 catties.

For a family of four, 1,000 catties of corn is enough.

It's just a few months of hard work to have such a reward, and such an errand is unheard of!

In order to expand his influence, Wang Teng deliberately granted Xiangyong a day off and asked them to return to their hometown to visit relatives.

New pawns are about to be recruited, and these villagers are bound to show off when they go home, and at that time, Wang Teng will recruit soldiers again, and he will definitely receive unexpected results.

When Wang Teng recruited the villagers, the people of Guangling already knew that he was generous and would practice his words, but now, as long as there is a little rumor of recruitment, I am afraid that countless young people will hear the news...... (To be continued.) )
