Chapter Eighty-Six: Seeing the Master of the House Again (Part II)
He Tengxiao originally thought that He Fangxiong recommended him as a battalion general, He Fangxiong clearly told him that this time it was Peng Chaodong who sponsored him as a battalion general, He Tengxiao was a little surprised, he and Peng Chaodong only had a one-sided relationship, and that time in Beiyuan, He Tengxiao also collided with the Beiyuan Town Army barracks, Peng Chaodong was the governor of Liaodong Town Army, Beiyuan Town Army is the orthodox Liaodong Town Army, He Tengxiao crashed into the Beiyuan Town Army barracks to some extent embarrassed Peng Chaodong. Why did Peng Chaodong spare no effort to recommend him as a battalion general.
Maybe Peng Chaodong's recommendation of him as Liaodong Camp will be out of consideration for winning over the He family to resist Liao, He Tengxiao thought so. The Yu family's descent to Liao had a great shock to the empire. One county king, one duke, and two uncles of the four great families of Liaodong are the only four remaining titles with real power in the empire. The reason why the empire has retained the real power of the four great families of Liaodong for a long time is because of the consideration of relying on the four great families of Liaodong to defend the frontier of Liaodong. The Yu family's surrender to Liao was unintentionally a blow to the empire. The empire treated the four great families so well, and the Yu family, one of the four great families, actually surrendered to Liao at a critical moment, and also dedicated the most important Liaoyang city in Liaodong.
After the Yu family descended to Liao, the imperial court was already wary of the remaining three families, especially the Huang family, which was the most powerful of the remaining three families. In addition, the Liao State made good use of spies and wantonly disseminated messages that were unfavorable to the Huang, He, and Wu clans, and it was impossible for Peng Chaodong to fully trust the Huang, He, and Wu clans. Peng Chaodong's sponsorship of him as a camp general was out of consideration for winning over the He family, which was He Tengxiao's idea now, and with this reasonable explanation as a relief, He Tengxiao was much relieved.
"Peng Chaodong's words have a lot of weight in front of the emperor, he can sponsor you as a battalion general, which is much more reliable than the old man sponsoring you as a battalion general. You are a descendant of the He family, if the old man sponsors you as a camp general, gossip is indispensable. And Peng Chaodong recommended you as a battalion general, whether it is the DPRK or the Liaodong armies, they will not have too many ideas. This is what you deserve, it is your own military merit that you have earned in a down-to-earth manner, and you can accept it calmly. ”
He Tengxiao chewed carefully, savoring He Fangxiong's words. What He Fangxiong said is not unreasonable, if He Fangxiong recommends him as a battalion general, it will be regarded as recommending He Tengxiao as a battalion general for the selfish interests of the He family. The position of battalion general is a feng shui for the people of the empire, although there is only a one-level difference between the battalion general and the thousand households, the treatment is indeed one heaven and one underground.
The warriors of the empire are only qualified to be called generals if they have achieved the battalion general, and the thousand households, at most, can only be regarded as middle-level military attachés, and their social status is even more incomparable than that of the battalion generals. In view of the lessons of the rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty, the empire adhered to the basic national policy of advocating literature and suppressing military force at the beginning of its founding, but it still tightened the appointment of generals, that is, military attachés above the battalion general. Take the current He family as an example, in addition to He Fangxiong's three sons are generals and deputy generals, the only military attaches above the He family's battalion general are He Shijie, the commander of the Xiaocai battalion, who died in the first battle of Yingzhou, and He Shizhong, the general of the Tengbao battalion, the son of He Shibao. Therefore, although the empire is light on military force, the military generals are not as widespread as imagined.
Peng Chaodong and He Tengxiao have nothing to do with each other, let alone have a personal relationship, Peng Chaodong recommended him as a battalion general, whether it is a civilian official of the dynasty or a general of the Liaodong Town Army, there will be no big objections. People will think that Peng Chaodong's recommendation of He Tengxiao as a camp will be out of "public" considerations, rather than "private".
As a battalion general, He Tengxiao can also be among the ranks of Liaodong generals.
It stands to reason that becoming a general is a matter of congratulations, but He Tengxiao is not happy. He is not optimistic about the future of Liaodong, even if he becomes a general, what can he do? Take Wu Tingzhen as an example, in the past, he was the head of the prominent Wu family, and he was a powerful figure for a while, in Liaoyang, the younger brother of the emperor, Song Yude, the king of Liao, had to respect him for three points. After the Wu clan lost the foundation of Liaoyang, Wu Tingzhen was not a panicked dog, although he was a second-grade general soldier, but the rocker was not as straight as He Tengxiao, a thousand households, and he had to be respectful when he saw that a thousand households of the He family had to be respectful, for fear of annoying the He family.
The gap in military strength between Zhao and Liao in eastern Liaodong is clearly there. If the Liao army advances south and captures the three states of Gaifu and Jin, doesn't He Tengxiao want to bend over and live like Wu Tingzhen?
"You kept this flag and got it back, and now that you are a battalion general, this flag should belong to you."
He Fangxiong took out the brocade box containing the military flag of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and trembled and took out the bloodstained military flag of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and handed it to He Tengxiao. He Tengxiao solemnly took over the military flag of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and the light military flag felt heavy in his hand.
He Tengxiao held the military flag and held up a solemn face: "The battalion flag of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion was not saved by He Tengxiao alone, but by all the officers and soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion who took their blood and their lives. ”
"Take this flag and rebuild the cavalry camp." He Fangxiong closed his eyes, and his bitter voice was a little heavy with vicissitudes.
He Tengxiao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm afraid that our He family will no longer have the ability to create such a first-class strong iron horse as the Xiao Cavalry Battalion." "There is not enough horse source, there is not enough financial resources, even if He Fangxiong has the intention to rebuild the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, everything is a water moon mirror flower, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, which carries the expectations of He Fangxiong in the second half of his life, has long disappeared with the fall of the First World War in Yingzhou and no longer exists.
He Fangxiong took a long breath and sighed: "Xiao Cavalry Camp Xiao Cavalry Battalion, in the final analysis, is just a name, called Xiao Cai, but it does not have to be cavalry, I don't want you to bring out an iron cavalry that is strong into the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, but to bring out a strong army with blood and courage like Xiao Cavalry Battalion." Right now, only you can do it in the future life of the He family. ”
He Mingye looked at He Fangxiong with some surprise, for so many years, He Fangxiong valued only He Shijie as a descendant of the He family. He Shijie's death, He Fangxiong spent most of the year in the grief of losing his beloved grandson, and now He Fangxiong said such words to He Tengxiao, indicating that He Fangxiong began to attach importance to He Tengxiao as much as He Shijie. began to re-examine this grandson who was (side) (edge) (yuan) (transformed) since childhood.
"Teng Xiao obeys the teachings." He Tengxiao bowed deeply.
He Fangxiong smiled with satisfaction, the three sons were not angry, he had pinned all the hopes of the He family on He Shijie, and as soon as He Shijie died, He Fangxiong lost someone worthy of trust. At this time, He Tengxiao, who had been silent for many years and almost made him forget, was born. He Tengxiao's performance in the past six months is not inferior to He Shijie, who he is optimistic about, and let him see the dawn of the future of the He family, is this the providence that is said?
He Fangxiong's thin hand slapped on He Tengxiao's shoulder, and his burning eyes were nailed to He Tengxiao: "No matter what happens to the He family in the future, no matter whether the old man is dead or alive, you must try your best to protect the bloodline of the He family!" Protect the people of the three states of Gaifujin! ”
