On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the emperor's decree and the edict of the Privy Council arrived at Gangneung Fuseong. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Among the holy decrees and edicts, Wu Shaogang is on the list, and the holy decree enshrines Wu Shaogang as the chief servant of the seventh rank and the fifteenth order, and the edict enshrines Wu Shaogang as the deputy general of the urging army under the front division of the palace.

At the same time, there are many people who have been entitled, among which Cai Siwei, the commander of the Xingzhou Imperial Army, was awarded the title of General of Delang from the five grades, it should be said that the status is much higher than Wu Shaogang, but the starting point is different, and the original rank is much higher than Wu Shaogang.

Zhang Binghui was awarded the title of 51st Order from the Ninth Rank Chengjie Lang and served as the general of the Urging Front Army under the Front Division of the Palace, Ma Long, Wang 13, Du Xiaoqi and Tan Mazi were awarded the title of 52nd Order from the Ninth Rank Chengxin Lang, of which Ma Long served as the officer of the Urging Army under the Front Division of the Palace, and the rest of Wang 13 and others became the envoys of the Urging Army.

Don't underestimate this edict, its significance is not ordinary.

The Southern Song Dynasty's palace front division, the guard horse military division and the guard infantry military division, known as the Sanya Army, their duty is to defend the capital, belonging to the emperor and the Privy Council directly controlled by the army, only obey the emperor and the Privy Council, others have no right to command, the Sanya Army is also the most elite army in the Southern Song Dynasty, belongs to the most regular central army.

At the beginning of the Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin Chen Qiao mutiny ascended to the throne, in order to prevent the generals from supporting the army and threatening the royal family, so they vigorously strengthened the army strength controlled by the royal family and the imperial court, and weakened the local army strength.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the three ya, both the palace front division, the guard horse military division and the guard infantry military division, was nominally the highest military command body in the country, representing and assisting the emperor, and the Privy Council and the military department jointly governed all the armies, but after the Southern Song Dynasty, the situation changed, and the responsibilities of the three yas were replaced by the privy council and the military department, and the previous three yas became the three yajun army, becoming the central army under the direct control of the emperor, which can also be said to be the garrison force, and its strength is far stronger than other imperial armies.

As one of the three Ya Army, the front division of the palace is the most courageous army, directly responsible for the arch guard of the capital, the front division of the palace is commanded to make the rank from the second grade, and the rest of the guards are commanded by the horse division, and the guard infantry is commanded by the military division, which is the third grade.

Distributed in Sichuan, the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and the lower reaches of the ten imperial armies are under control, generally concurrently serving as the local assassin history, for the four products, wartime, the imperial court will also send by the civilian officials to serve as the Xuan envoy or Cheng Xuan deputy envoy, directly command these capital to control the war.

It can be seen that the status of the three yajun is completely different, among which the status of the palace division is the most prominent, and he can enter the palace front division and become one of the sergeants, even in the Youyi army, the status is significantly higher than that of the local army.

Every year, the Sanya Army has to draw elite soldiers from the local imperial armies from time to time to enrich its own strength, and also weaken the strength of the local imperial armies in disguise.

This time, not only did Wu Shaogang enter the front division of the palace and become a deputy general of the urging army under his jurisdiction, but more than ten of his henchmen such as Zhang Binghui and Ma Long all entered the urging army under the jurisdiction of the front division of the palace, which allowed Wu Shaogang to slowly develop his own strength in the urging army.

This move looks very dangerous, but the most dangerous place is the safest place, this is the so-called dark under the lamp, Wu Shaogang developed his own strength in the urging army to which the palace front division belonged, and no one would pay attention to it, and the attention of the emperor, the Privy Council and the military department was almost all on the imperial army.

There is also a fly in the ointment, that is, the more than 100 sergeants of the Ezhou Imperial Front Army, who originally followed Wu Shaogang, were not able to enter the palace division this time, and could only return to Ezhou.

In such a situation, Wu Shaogang had already been mentally prepared, before this, Li Siqi specially reminded and suggested that Wu Shaogang seriously consider that if it is a sergeant who is not capable of himself, he should not enter the front division of the palace, the implication is that the number of sergeants who Wu Shaogang brought into the front division of the palace should not be too many, otherwise it will cause a lot of criticism, and it will be unfavorable to Wu Shaogang himself.

After careful consideration, Wu Shaogang carefully selected thirty people from among the one hundred and eighty people and followed him into the front division of the palace, and the remaining one hundred and fifty people could only return to Ezhou.

The Privy Council's edict required Wu Shaogang and others to report to the front of the palace before the first day of the first month of March.

In other words, Wu Shaogang still has nearly fifty days to prepare.

In fact, this is to release a certain amount of time for Wu Shaogang and others to go home and have a look.

The officers and sergeants of the Song Dynasty, once they entered the army, they will always be soldiers, there is no such thing as retirement, even if they are old, they must stay in the army, unless you are so disabled that you can't pick up weapons, but in today's army, you can't see the old-fashioned sergeants, and the sergeants who have been fighting one after another over the years, and the sergeants who are not capable have long gone underground.

Officers and sergeants don't have much vacation, and it's good to be able to go home once in three or five years.

This time, the Song army won a great victory in the battle, recovered Huangzhou, Ezhou, Qizhou and Jiangling Mansion and other places, and held Ezhou.

The reward is divided into two parts, one part is the reward of money, Wu Shao just got the reward is one thousand guanzi, this amount looks very scary, it seems to be a huge amount of money, but it is converted into silver, less than twenty taels.

It's no wonder that there are unwritten rules in the military.

Another part of the reward is to give a certain amount of time to go home and see, which is a so-called family leave, which is not easy to come by.

Before leaving Jiangling Mansion City, Wu Shaogang made a special trip to meet Lu Wende.

The holy decree of the imperial court did not involve Lu Wende, after all, Lu Wende served as the deputy envoy of Sichuan Chengxuan as a civil official, coordinating and commanding the battle in Sichuan, even if he wanted to be rewarded, it was after returning to the capital, but Wu Shaogang heard Li Siqi say that Lu Wende was very likely to be promoted to a straight bachelor from the Fuwen Pavilion of the third grade, and concurrently served as the right attendant of the military department.

From the middle scholar of the fourth grade, he was promoted to the straight bachelor of the Fuwen Pavilion and the right attendant of the military department from the third grade, which seems to have only been promoted by half a grade, but the meaning is completely different.

The officials from the third rank or above are really called the high-ranking officials in the capital, and the officials above the third rank are promoted by the emperor himself, which can attract the attention of the emperor at all times.

If Lu Wende was enshrined as a straight scholar of the Fuwen Pavilion and the right attendant of the military department, and became a third-grade official in the court, his identity would have undergone a fundamental change.

As for saying that all the armies in Ezhou were in charge of Zhang Sheng, he didn't hear any news of promotion.

From this point of view, most of the credit for this battle was won by Lu Wende, including a lot of credit for Wu Shaogang.

All this is expected, there is nothing strange, Wu Shaogang can also accept it, at least Lu Wende knows his Wu Shaogang's credit, and while recommending it vigorously, he also took out a lot of money.

Entering the mansion and seeing Lu Wende with a smile on his face, Wu Shaogang's attitude was still respectful.

"The subordinates are ready to leave tomorrow, go back to their hometown to see, rush to the capital before the first day of the first day of March, report to the front of the palace, and resign to the marshal this time."

"It's okay, there is a feast in the world, Vice General Wu, you should also go back to your hometown to take a look."

"The next subordinate is to resign, and the second is to thank the marshal for his kindness, if it weren't for the marshal's care, the subordinates would not have such a future."

"Vice General Wu, I am very optimistic about you, when you arrive at the front of the palace, you will do things well, according to your ability, you will soon attract attention, I hope that when I see you in the capital, you will still be so strong."

"The subordinates should also congratulate the marshal, the marshal strategized and achieved such a major victory, which is the pillar of the court, and his subordinates still have to rely on the guidance of the marshal after he arrives in the capital one day."

Hearing Wu Shaogang say this, Lu Wende's face smiled even more, after such a long time together, he noticed many advantages of Wu Shaogang, the most important one is to say what should be said, what should not be said will never be spoken, it is indeed not easy to be able to reach such a state at a young age.

"Okay, Vice General Wu, you have to go back to prepare, you have to go back to your hometown to see your parents and family, I have prepared a little gift here, don't shirk."

Lu Wende picked up a bag from the table and handed it to Wu Shaogang.

"The marshal has already rewarded his subordinates with a lot of things...

"Don't say more, just accept it, you and I are destined."

Back in the barracks, I opened the bag and found five ingots of gold.

Wu Shao had just collected the tips, Zhang Binghui came to report, and Cai Siwei, the general of Gui Delang and the commander of the urging army, came.

Cai Siwei is about to return to Sichuan, although he still stays in the imperial army in Hezhou, but his identity is different from the past, and he is named the general of the German Lang, which means that he is likely to be promoted to the commander of the capital or the deputy commander in the future, which is the standard senior officer in the army.

Cai Siwei was refreshed, and when he entered the room, he was carrying a package in his hand.

"Vice General Wu, congratulations."

"Rejoice and rejoice, General Cai will rise again in the future, but don't forget the little brother."

"Whatever you say, I hope Vice General Wu doesn't forget my brother."

After some greetings, Cai Siwei put down the package in his hand.

"I heard that you are going to go home to see it soon, this is a little bit of my heart, but don't shirk, by the way, I heard the marshal say, you go back to your hometown this time, the marshal specially allocated twenty stone rice, ten stone wheat noodles, let you take it back to your hometown, the road is not smooth, I am ready to send some sergeants to escort."

"Then it's troublesome brother, if you need to, I'll definitely speak."
