Chapter 66: Identity Crisis
γBroadcastγPay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.
Although he was not going to send money to Yuan Weiting, Zhao Guanhou still brought more than 400 taels of silver tickets with him, and this money was not used to honor Yuan Weiting, but to point out those subordinate staff below. With the experience of his previous life, he naturally understands that the king of Hades is difficult to deal with.
Whether it is a person who has joined the army or has come to join Syria and make friends, there are many outside the barracks in Xinnong Town. The queue of people is lined up in a long line, if you honestly hand over your name and stab it, and wait until it is called to your head, you don't know if it is the year of the monkey.
Yuan Daotai has a good army, and his soldiers know how to count etiquette, and they received ten taels of door bags, and when they heard Zhao Guanhou report Cao Zhongkun's name, they did not delay, and immediately went through a special process. threw a group of waiters outside, and handed Zhao Guanhou's letter directly in.
Yin Sheng Yin Wulou studied in the Tongwen Museum, and later studied military affairs in the Habsburg Kingdom, and befriended the Prussian crown prince in the army. When the crown prince succeeded to the throne and became the king of Prussia, Yin Wulou became the hottest foreign affairs commissioner in Dajin, responsible for handling Prussian affairs.
In the first established army, dozens of Prussian teachers were hired, and they also purchased general weapons and learned Prussian drills, and as a Prussian expert, Yin Sheng also went to the new army to serve as advisers and deal with a cadre of subjects of his friends.
He and Yuan Weiting are sons and daughters, and their relationship is very close, and they are also Yuan Weiting's hardcore confidants. When he received the letter, he was talking about military affairs with Yuan Weiting and Xu Juren, the staff officer of the new army inspection and the general office of the military affairs and battalion affairs office, in the signing room. After receiving the letter, he put it on the table casually, opened the letter cover with a big hand, and said while unfolding the letter: "Shigege This is to learn from Zhang Liang, and recommend the future to our corner book." β
Among the three people, Yuan Weiting has the lowest fame, only a child, not even a showman, but the highest rank. The dignified Xu Juren can only be regarded as his assistant. It is precisely because of this that it is not appropriate to use too deep allusions to Yuan Weiting, and this superficial comparison is more appropriate.
Seeing this letter, Yuan Weiting laughed, "Brother Wulou, the envoy sent to you by Shigege is here?" I heard that the one she recommended was Haidilao Yin, Zhao, who had broken his fingers, as if the former was in Jinmen County, and he was still calling me in the station. The gangsters of the entire Jinmen, he was the first to walk out of the station cage alive without being drilled. If it weren't for your face, I would have shot him. If you want to say that it is an elder, it is just a matter of sending an envoy to the noon building, ten grids and a wild grid, and such a big pomp? β
Yin Sheng and him are close relatives, this kind of joke will never be annoying, but he smiled, "Rong An, my mission is not only for my own favor, but also for the official business of our new army." The glazed egg is dizzy, embarrassed and useful, this is the seal of the governor of Zhili, he is probably going to hand it over, I heard that this position is entrusted to Lotus Liulang. The elder has a friendship with him, and after this mission is done, in the future, Lao Qing will help us say a few words on the grain platform, but it will save a lot of effort. You still say my cool words, but there is no such reason, I am paving the way for you. Ten grids don't look like a wild grid with no name, but in front of the elder, it is one and the same, compared to the three grids and four grids in his house, he can be much favored. If you please her, we will talk to the boss, otherwise, if she hands us two small words, the elder will have to lose face with us. β
At this time, the officialdom of the Jin State was popular to refer to the glazed egg to refer to the current governor of Zhili, Wang Wenzhao, and the elder referred to King Qing, who was in charge of the yamen of various countries. Yuan Weiting's biggest aid now is King Qing, and he has also given King Qing a protΓ©gΓ© sticker, claiming to be a disciple, and is called the elder.
As for Lotus Liulang, it refers to Han Rong, the secretary of the Ministry of War and the Minister of Military Aircraft, and the secret matters here involve the palace ban, although there are only a few henchmen in the room, it is not good to talk about it. Yuan Weiting was not as open-mouthed as Yin Sheng, and only smiled, "Zhongtang is an old man who seeks the country, and he also knows that military affairs are the first priority of the imperial court at the moment, even if Prince Qing doesn't speak, he won't be stuck with our money and food." β
Xu Juren is a dignified bachelor of Hanlin, the first in the Qing Dynasty of the country, and believes in the art of Huang Lao, and usually does not care much about things. At this point, cough twice
"This Zhao Guanhou is a gangster on the ground of Jinmen, Rong An previously advocated the heavy punishment of the gangsters, and now he has sent the gangsters to the Wubei Academy, which seems to be inconsistent. Furthermore, how should he be arranged in the future? He has a disability, and his temperament is chivalrous, and he is afraid that he will have the disadvantages of being glamorous and frivolous as the children of Jinmen. Placed in the barracks, I don't know what kind of right and wrong will be born, but this person's arrangement will take a lot of brains. β
The salaries of the new army are high, and the selection of soldiers is extremely strict, and those who are traitors and criminals are brave and ruthless are not the objects that the army likes. If Li Xiushan hadn't broken a large sum of money at home to dredge the joints, and he met Yuan Weiting's concubine, he would not have been approved to join the army. Xu Juren's question was actually to speak for Yuan Weiting and ask Yin Sheng for an explanation.
Yin Sheng is confident: "This thing is easy to do." In the Wubei Academy, although the school system is one year of enrollment, one year of subject and two years of school, it does not necessarily mean that he has to stay for two years. He's a gangster, no matter what Shigege says he's good, he's always a prank, and I'm afraid I don't even know a word. Mix in for a few days inside, let him read some books, know Braille, and then learn some rules and get out. In the army, he was a personal entourage, and he didn't care about anything, so he was allowed to enter Beijing and be responsible for running the Qingwang Mansion. With his friendship with Shigege, you can save a lot of money just for the door bag. β
Yuan Weiting sighed, "What I'm afraid of is his friendship with Shigege." These ten Gege are still unmarried, if there is something wrong with him, King Qing will be angry with us, and our life will be sad......"
"Rong An, you're too worried." Yin Sheng is very sure that "Shigege's marriage, her nominal Lao Tzu can't manage it, and this pro-Lao Tzu is not easy to arrange." arranging a Han person, feeling that she has wronged her daughter, arranging a Jurchen, and people are not happy, and the draft has nothing to do with her. It's awkward twice, and it is estimated that she will have to become an old girl, so she will toss it. Who she is willing to find, the elder also turns a blind eye, as long as he doesn't make a big noise, he doesn't care. Besides, if you don't arrange it now, it won't work. β
He pointed to the newly arrived telegram on the table: "In two months, Lafayette will come to the barracks to watch the exercises. The observation exercise is fake, but in fact, he is here to support Lotus Rokuro and tell everyone that we will listen to him in the future. Lafayette is here, King Qing must be with him, if he doesn't do this, he muttered in front of Lafayette, let's not think about it. I heard the news that Lianhua Liulang wanted to train the Wuwei Army, and put Dong Wuxing's Gan Army, Tang Qing's Yi Army, and Cheng Gongting's Wu Yi Army with us. Let's think about it, let's eat a pot of rice alone, and eat it with a pot of rice, can it be the same? If you don't stammer him, when the time comes, you can put a handful of sand in our bowl, and it will make us sick for a long time. β
Xu Juren heard this, and also knew that what Yin Sheng said was a truth, no matter how unbearable this person was, he could only pinch his nose and accept it, then again, there are not many unbearable materials in the court, and a small army can still tolerate it.
Yuan Weiting didn't want a gangster in the new army, but what Yin Wulou said was true, and he also nodded: "What Brother Wulou said is very true, since this is the case, call him in, say a few words, and send him to the Martial Arts Academy." Tell him again, and in a few days, he will spend his expenses and go to the barracks to give him a grain table. is the right king of Qiqing, and he can also do something for us. Call him, soothe him to his face, and send him to the school. β
Zhao Guanhou followed the two Goshha into the official hall, first knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and then heard someone say above: "Since you are recommended by the tenth master, you don't need to be polite, sit down and talk." β
A personal entourage brought a chair, when Zhao Guanhou sat down, he only dared to sit halfway, peeked at it, and saw that the person who spoke was about forty, with a short body of five people, a short neck, and a four-grade Taoist dressed in an official uniform, with big ears and very majestic. Although his expression was very friendly and there was a smile on his face, he saw a lot of people, and at a glance, he knew in his heart that this was a difficult thing to deal with.
Although he has always been free from smiling, as if he is approachable, and he doesn't regard himself as an outsider, this kind of smiling tiger is not one or two in his previous life. This is a very ambitious person, but now he is fledgling, he knows how to keep his light and keep his secrets, if he has authority in the future, I am afraid that he will not be easy to get along with. Now for him, you must be humble enough, otherwise you will be thrown a pair of small shoes to wear.
Next to him was a middle-aged Confucian in his forties, dressed in a bookish air, and at the bottom was a tall and thin warrior in his thirties. Yuan Weiting took the initiative to point at the tall and thin martial artist
"This is Yin Huiban, Lord Yin. The tenth master asked you to send a letter, and it was sent to him. It is said that the martial arts academy is now full and no longer recruits, but the face of the tenth master must be given, and Lord Yin is in charge of the school again, so he will squeeze out a place for you, you must cherish this opportunity and not waste your time. β
Yin Sheng nodded at Zhao Guanhou, "I won't refuse what Lao Shi begs me." But I want to ask you, this army is hard, and the rules of the military academy are strict, no better than the rivers and lakes, are you subject to constraints? β
"If you want to serve the court, you should strictly abide by the law, and if you violate it, the villain will be willing to accept the military law."
"May you be true to your words and deeds. Although the official protects you, if you violate the military law, the official cannot show favoritism. β
This kind of non-nutritious Q&A is actually a common mode in officialdom, to protect a person, you always have to go through such a process, ask what your specialties are, what your skills are. Even if the person who answers is not able to understand the text and ink and has the skill to search, he must be as honest as Uncle Bao and win as hard as he can, so that the person who protects the person can rest assured. It seems that he is really developed by his ability, not by human favor.
Generally speaking, this kind of question and answer will only be used between people with the right status, Zhao Guanhou is now unarmed, but the three people in front of him are leading the troops with great power, so there is no need to waste time with him. The first section of the Martial Arts Academy recruits hundreds of students, and there are only a few people who are qualified to say this kind of nonsense.
In the final analysis, Shigege's face is big enough, and this kind of question is right, which can be regarded as raising Zhao Guanhou's value, and it is also giving Shigege face. The three of them are also ready, and when they get to this place, they are either too frightened to speak, or they are talking nonsense, even if they are out of line, it is reasonable and they will not blame.
But the development of the facts was very surprising to them, this Zhao Guanhou behaved very measuredly, and his answer was also very decent, for a new Ding, his performance can be called excellent.
Although Zhao Guanhou doesn't know much about the routines in Dajin's officialdom, he has experience in his previous life, and he can deal with this kind of questioning easily. He thought about showing off his proficiency in various Chinese languages here, but eventually gave up.
In the barracks, the emphasis is on commonality, not individuality, and the overall atmosphere of the Jin Kingdom now is also to promote moderation and oppose those who are mavericks and flaunt themselves. If, after joining the army, this talent is discovered by a certain adult, he can certainly be called a thousand miles of horses, and the discoverer can also be named Bole, and everyone will be happy.
But if you are too eager to show it, you will be considered arrogant by these bigwigs, no one in their eyes, and they will be self-righteous with a little foreign language, but they will mess things up, and even cut off the road to promotion.
In fact, he was not interested in being an official, but since Su Hanzhi likes it and also has family considerations, it is better for him to follow her wishes. This era is a world of individual cannibalism, where big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimp, as in most countries he experienced in his previous life.
If you want not to be eaten, you have to work hard to make yourself bigger, so that no one can eat it. In order not to repeat the previous life, you have to find a way to protect yourself and let yourself go further.
It is too dangerous to be a soldier on the road of a horse, no matter how good an individual is, a stray bullet on the battlefield will hang up. Study for a while in that hellish school, and then find a way to be an official, and then you can find a way to continue to be promoted. No matter how good your foreign language skills are, at most you can be a translator, and it is not easy to be promoted, but in fact, you can't get real power.
And the performance of foreign language is too good, firstly, it will make people jealous, and secondly, it may add some burden to yourself. Jin Guo is now learning from foreigners in ********, engaging in foreign affairs, and sending ministers to various countries. If you let yourself be a servant of a minister, and you can't see your woman after a few years, that kind of life is not what you want.
Under his deliberate play, the answer is decent, neither excellent nor embarrassing, according to him, this popular model, the other party should not pay attention to himself. There is a ten-grid line, and if you want to be promoted in the future, it is always more convenient. But he didn't know that after he received the farewell and was led away by Yin Sheng, Yuan Weiting glanced at Xu Juren, "Fifth Brother Bu, what do you think of this person?" β
The two of them are Jinlan brothers who have changed the stickers, and they have nothing to talk about, otherwise how could Xu Juren, with the respect of Hanlin, succumb to the mere Qingjin shogunate? He thought about it earnestly
"If he is really a reckless man, it will be fine, the left and right are just arranging an errand for idle meals, and we can't afford to arrange it. But when he asked the right question, he responded so decently, this is not like a gangster pattern. Rong An, do you think he will be the eyeliner of Qing Wang'an by our side? β
Yuan Weiting was silent, and after a long time, he said, "I don't think so." The elder wants to take off my top, but it's just a matter of one sentence, so there's no need to be so troublesome. I'm only worried that he's just borrowing the path of ten grids, and there are other masters behind him. This person, if he uses it too much, will let him know everything about us, but he is afraid that something will happen. If you use it lightly, it doesn't look good on the old man's face. In fact, to take away my seal is just a matter of the next edict, so why use this means. β
"Rong An, it's useless to say these things now, since Wen Zhenggong, the imperial court has been the most vigilant against the Han people of my generation. The newly built army is the essence of Dajin's entire army, and it is not surprising that this means is used. This person, keep in mind left and right, when he comes out of the martial arts academy, he must be useful, and he must be careful. It's best to put it under our noses and hang him high, so as not to offend King Qing, and not let him really touch our bottom line. If we find an opportunity, we might as well win him over to our side and make it available to us, which will save us a lot of effort. β
When Xu Juren said this, he suddenly had an idea: "Rong An, I have a plan here, the former court issued an edict to select a group of people from the students of this subject to study in Fusang and study military affairs." If this quota is given to this Zhao, it will not only save King Qing's face, but also save this person from staying by his side. As for whether you can learn any ......, it is just an extra amount of money and food for the imperial court. β
Yuan Weiting nodded, "Fifth Brother Bu, this idea is really clever, let's send the plague god, so it's decided!" β
Zhao Guanhou didn't know that he was still sent to Fusang by Yuan Weiting for further study, and he left the military camp with Yin Sheng and went to the Wubei Academy. There was no train entering the city at the moment, Yin Sheng asked him if he would ride a horse, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he led two horses out. Both mounts are European-bred thoroughbred Arabian horses, with a height of over 1.6 meters at the shoulder, which is completely different from the Mongolian horses commonly used in the Jin soldiers. The two flew onto their mounts, raised their whips and whipped lightly, and the horses gradually accelerated, and gradually went faster and faster.
Zhao Guanhou's body, although he is just a gangster, has played circus with Beidaguan and knows some rough equestrianism. In his previous life, he was an excellent rider who was very famous in several equestrian clubs. At first, you have to get used to it a little, and when you get used to it, the skills you used to use will gradually get faster.
Although Yin Sheng is a Jurchen, he grew up in Beijing since he was a child, and the bow horse has long been abandoned, and equestrianism can only be regarded as ordinary. I thought I was better than this gangster, but I gradually found that the other party was deliberately lagging behind him, and I had some doubts in my heart. But he still enthusiastically introduced the rules of the martial arts academy, the taboos in it, and his own relationship. It's just that in my heart, there is a trace of doubt about Zhao Guanhou's identity.
