From the nine-grade inspection to the three-grade general, Wang Teng only took three years. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Three years is just the term of one prefectural magistrate.

However, Wang Teng has spent these three years to complete the promotion road that others can never take in a lifetime.

After the court meeting ended, the news of Wang Teng's imminent promotion spread throughout the prefectures and courts.

Twenty-one-year-old Sanpin general?

The entire Ming Dynasty is also only a handful.

Officials of all sizes, big and small, who were desperately seeking promotions but could not, were jealous for a while.

Why did Wang Teng rise so quickly?

It's just a martial artist who has won a few battles, one is not a general's family, and the other is not a noble, what virtue does he have?

As the so-called tree is a big move, Wang Teng's promotion speed is too fast, and under the encouragement of people with intentions, he has become the target of public criticism.

However, Wang Teng didn't care at all, his roots were in Ulzhou, and even if the Ming officials scolded him as a dog, it was impossible to cause actual damage to him.

As far as the documents issued by the Ministry of War are concerned, the recruitment quota that others are afraid of has become Wang Teng's biggest surprise.

Things have to start with the new secretary of the military department, Yang Sichang.

Yang Sichang's father was Yang He, the trilateral governor before Yuan Chonghuan.

Because of the failure of the "Fukou policy", Yang He resigned from his post and died depressed.

After Yang He's death, Yuan Chonghuan and Lu Xiangsheng became the biggest profiteers.

Yang Sichang will take revenge, and naturally he will not let go of any opportunity to retaliate, but Yuan Chonghuan and Lu Xiangsheng rarely make mistakes, and it is difficult for Yang Sichang to take revenge.

Enemies don't make mistakes?

It doesn't matter, doesn't the enemy still have a protégé?

Pack them up!

Under the hated house and Wu, Wang Teng, who was close to Lu Xiangsheng, suffered a disaster of pond fish.

The promotion to the third rank is a matter decided by the court, and it cannot be changed, so I will think about it from other aspects.

After the end of the court meeting, in order to embarrass Wang Teng, Yang Sichang specially set a number of 15,000 soldiers for Wang Teng, in his opinion, Wang Teng could not complete it no matter what.

After all, the Son of Heaven has already said that the imperial court will not give a penny this time for recruitment!

In other words, Wang Teng needs to pay for recruiting soldiers!

Not to mention 15,000 people, even 10,000 people can bankrupt people!

Daming customized, the general can lead 20,000 troops, Yang Sichang's move makes people can't find fault.

However, after the news came out, the upright people of Qingliu felt sorry for Wang Teng.

offended Yang Sichang, Wang Teng was afraid that he would be planted this time......

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng was furious, and he personally wrote to the court to argue for Wang Teng, however, the Son of Heaven has already set the tone, how can Lu Xiangsheng change it?

With the wood already in the boat, Lu Xiangsheng had to take out part of the seized materials as compensation.

Wang Pu, who gained the most from the Battle of Ulzhou, was also very righteous, and he gave Wang Teng 1,000 taels of silver as funds for recruiting soldiers.

Wei Yuan, the governor of Ulzhou, gave eight hundred taels, and Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, was training the Qin army himself, so he couldn't give silver, but gave Wang Teng ten blacksmiths to build artillery......

The world doesn't know that Wang Teng has silver, and after fighting with Fan Yongdou and Jin Liangyu a few times, Wang Teng has occupied the grain market and iron market in Datong Mansion, which can be described as making money every day.

In this case, the silver given by Wang Pu and Wei Yuan is just a drop in the bucket, but the courtesy is light and affectionate, Lu Xiangsheng and others have done their best, and Wang Teng naturally remembers it.

Of course, compared with silver, what really made Wang Teng overjoyed was the blacksmith sent by Sun Chuanting.

Since the establishment of the craftsman battalion under Wang Teng, there have been countless firecrackers, but there is a lack of skilled craftsmen in casting artillery.

After the craftsmen arrived, Wang Teng gave each of them ten taels of silver for settling in money.

Craftsmen are accustomed to living a hard life in Shaanxi, where have they seen Wang Teng's generosity, and for a while, they have bowed their heads.

Who would have thought that Wang Teng struck while the iron was hot and raised the reward: as long as he made a usable artillery, each person would be rewarded with 100 taels of silver.

Hearing this, the craftsmen were full of enthusiasm and worked hard to build artillery!

Wang Teng believed that under Bi Qiuyuan's guidance, the craftsmen should soon be able to build artillery.

Once there is artillery, even if Jiannu makes a comeback, Wang Teng will have a killer feature.

The matter of the craftsman camp has come to an end for the time being, but the series of impacts caused by Wang Teng's promotion are far more than that.

In May of the ninth year of Chongzhen, a group of opera troupes singing Ulzhou Victory appeared in Datong Mansion.

These troupes set up a stage for free, and instead of collecting money, they distributed fruit snacks to the people.

At this time, there was no mobile phone network, and the people's entertainment methods were extremely limited, and the troupe's method of not taking a penny immediately attracted countless followers.

Every time the stage is performed, there is always a large number of people in front of the stage.

In addition to the loyal and patriotic father-in-law and Yang Jiajiang, the main characters of the opera are Xu Da and Chang Yuchun since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In recent years, the people of Datong have suffered greatly from the construction of Nu Koubian, and the story of the opera interpretation has easily resonated with the people.

Sometimes, when the opera ends, the people are still in tears and refuse to leave for a long time.

On this day, there was also acting outside Guangling City.

The opera is probably a group of Jiannu who knocked on the gate and robbed a village, slaughtering all the men, women and children in the village, and the only boy hid in the cellar and survived. After Wang Teng led the army to arrive, he rescued the boy, and after that, the brave boy showed the way for the Guangling army and successfully killed the enemy who destroyed the village......

The troupe played the generals who drove out the Tartars, there is love and hate, and the characters who play the villains will inevitably be insulted.

At the end of the opera, the boy suddenly shouted, "I am victorious in the Ming Dynasty, and the Guangling Army is victorious!" ”

The people in the audience slowed down for a moment, and after a while, their blood boiled, "Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng!" ”

Today, most of the residents in Guangling City are displaced people who have migrated from Lingqiu, and they are grateful for Wang Teng's reconstruction, and they cheer extremely hard.

Guangling City Tower, Wang Teng was pleased, "There is no white flower in silver, and the people's hearts can be used!" ”

"Yes, recruiting troops at this time will get twice the result with half the effort!"

Song Xiance admired Wang Teng's demagogic methods, and before he met Wang Teng, he thought he had dragon slaying skills, but compared with Wang Teng, he seemed to be far behind.

Wang Teng is in a very good mood, he comes from later generations, and naturally knows the power of the charity performance, "This is all the credit of Zheng Xiu, Zheng Xiu, you can make up these tracks, it really took a lot of effort."

Behind Wang Teng stood a thin scholar, Zheng Xiu, who was clever and drew inferences from one another, and could always properly complete the tasks assigned by Wang Teng.

Zheng Xiu sighed, "My lord, Jiannu is hateful, and the students are deeply touched, if a few plays can arouse the indignation of the people, it will be worth it for me to die of exhaustion!" ”

After coming and going, Zheng Xiu has become an indispensable member of Wang Teng's side, Wang Teng naturally will not let him die of exhaustion, "Nonsense, you are a great talent under me, how can you die easily?" ”

Zheng Xiu smiled awkwardly, "My lord, the student has lost his words."

Wang Teng was noncommittal.

Zheng Xiu said again: "My lord, the imperial court has set a recruitment period for the next year, and I don't know if my lord can deal with it."

Speaking of this, Wang Teng wanted to laugh, "This is a good thing."

Zheng Xiu was puzzled, "My lord, the imperial court didn't produce any money, but let us train 15,000 elite soldiers, this is obviously a disaster, how can it be a good thing?" ”

Wang Teng smiled: "It must be a disaster for others, but for me, this is indeed a great good thing."

Zheng Xiu was confused, "Please give me advice!" ”

Wang Teng looked serious, "Because I'm rich!" ”

Zheng Xiu was speechless, and paused for a moment before saying: "My lord, the student knows that the adult family has a lot of property, but in terms of military training, the adult must cry poor."

This time, Wang Teng was ignorant, "Why is this?" ”

"Within three years, the number of products has been promoted, and the adults have become the most famous generals in the Ming Dynasty, at this time, if there is news that the adults are rich and rival the country, what will the Son of Heaven think, and how will the people of the world think?"

Wang Teng was drenched in cold sweat, and he won many victories, and he was already a little complacent.

At this time, Zheng Xiu mentioned it in time, which is tantamount to a slap in the face.

People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, Wang Teng has already provoked too many enemies, at this time, if there is news that he is rich, even Lu Xiangsheng will not be able to protect him!

"Zheng Xiu, please accept my worship!"

Before the words fell, Wang Teng made a gesture.

Zheng Xiu hurriedly helped, "My lord, this can't be helped."

Wang Teng Zhengse said: "You can remind me in time to save me from a big mistake, this is a supreme merit, I worship you once, it's nothing."

Zheng Xiu is always a scholar, paying attention to "the king treats me as a countryman, and I repay him as a countryman", Wang Teng treated him so Chicheng, Zheng Xiu naturally had no reservations, "My lord, since you have sent silver, you might as well use them to play a good play."

"Oh? What play? ”

"Nature is a trick to cry poor"

Wang Teng was a little undecided, "The reason why the soldiers are willing to defect to me is most likely because they have taken a fancy to the reward I set, if I say that I have no money at this time, will they still come?" ”

Zheng Xiu bowed his head heavily, "My lord, this time is different from the past, now your name has spread all over the country, and the soldiers have defected to you, not just for the silver."

"What else could it be?"

"Future!"

"Future?"

"That's right, the soldiers and horses under the command of my lord have won consecutive battles, and they have not been defeated, and in the eyes of ordinary people, they have become the star monarch of the sky, follow you, and the light gate court is not a problem!"

Wang Teng realized that there was something wrong with his thinking, and all along, he had been opening the way with silver, but he had forgotten one thing: his own attractiveness.

Now Wang Teng is no longer a petty official inspector of sesame mung bean points, but a general of Sanpin.

How many generals are there in Shanxi?

Five, Wang Teng is one of them, of course, he is still the youngest one.

This unique advantage means that Wang Teng has infinite potential, and even if he doesn't use silver as a temptation, people will come to take refuge.

After suddenly realizing it, Wang Teng completely understood, "It's okay, I'll leave the rest to you, okay?" ”

Zheng Xiu naturally agreed.

The next day, a few kinds of war horses appeared in the horse market in Ulzhou, and the traders who exchanged their mounts were greatly moved to see that such fine war horses could not be taken out without a hundred taels of silver.

It's just that they don't know who the people who sell the horses are, why do they sell them? Where do their channels come from?

Anyone who really does business knows that channels are far more valuable than commodity skills!

Later, I don't know who leaked the news: the war horse was Wang Teng, the general of the Pingyu Guard.

Some vendors were puzzled, "Didn't Wang Teng just be promoted?" Don't he have any money, and what kind of horses can he sell?"

The well-informed man whispered: "Do you know, the Ministry of War has set a limit of 15,000 soldiers for Wang Teng, and if it is not overdue, maybe Wang Teng will be severely punished."

"You mean to say that Wang Teng has no money?"

"Yes, if there is silver, Wang Teng will never take the war horse out and sell it!"

"No, some time ago, Wang Teng forced Jiannu to retreat and saved my family, I have to show my heart"

"You want to give money?"

"Not bad"

"How much?"

"One hundred taels, wait for me to dispose of the goods in my hand, and give another one hundred taels"

The other person took a breath of cold air, "Good guy, you are willing to do it, I can't take out so much money, I can only give a hundred taels."

"There is a way that there is a lot of strength in numbers, why don't we publicize it here and call on everyone to donate money to the Guangling Army?"

"Good idea, we are all natives of Datong, we must know how to repay the favor"

"That makes sense!"

After the two merchants consulted, they quickly found their first target.

This is a merchant who sells fabrics, and with Wang Teng's light, the fabrics sell well.

Cloth merchants often say that without Wang Teng, there would be no him today.

Therefore, after the merchant made his stakes clear, the cloth merchant expressed his willingness to donate 200 pieces of cloth!

Newly recruited soldiers are inseparable from the purchase of various items.

The two initiators traveled all the way, and received five hundred taels of silver, but they got a large amount of supplies.

Along the way, there is rarely a person who does not pull out a hair, and the Ming people pay attention to brightness and fairness.

Since Wang Teng is kind to everyone, right now, he has encountered difficulties, how dare the villagers who are righteous words be verbose?

It's the expression that you can do is what matters.

When the vast amount of supplies and silver arrived at the barracks, Wang Teng had already heard the news.

"What is this?"

The merchant bowed his hand slightly, "My lord, this is a little bit of the people's heart, they heard that the adults have no money to recruit soldiers, so they donated this silver."

Wang Teng glanced at it roughly, and said for a few hundred taels of silver, "What about those materials?" ”

It is no longer a rumor that the iron produced by the iron factory has long been a rumor, and the villagers are offering daily necessities other than iron tools.

"These materials are also donated by the merchants"

Wang Teng was greatly moved, "Do you have a breakdown?" ”

"Yes, of course"

"Okay, you can go back and tell them that even if this money is lent to them by my Wang Teng, when I have the silver, I will definitely pay them back."

The merchant opened his mouth, "My lord, this is not to be done."

"Oh? I have received your wishes, but when you go out to do business, how can you be short of silver? ”

Zheng Xiu said with a smile: "My lord's words are wrong, since they dare to send it out, then they are ready not to take it back, if the adult insists on going his own way, I am afraid that it will hurt people's hearts."

Wang Teng pondered carefully, as if this was the truth, "So, I'll accept it?" ”

"This is our wish!" ”
