Chapter 0208 - It's a waste of time
The next morning, Zhang Yue got up a little late, fortunately, he didn't have to go to court today, but now he was promoted to the Guards Division, and he still had to go and see. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Du Ximi led the Shiming guards to drive the carriage to the Zuoye Gate, Zhang Yue left them to wait outside, and only took Du Ximi in.
I only heard that the Guards Office was close to the Rihua Gate, but Zhang Yue had never been there, and he called a forbidden soldier to lead the way when he entered the Zuoye Gate, and then he found the front of the official office. The tall archway and white marble stone carvings are more gorgeous and magnificent than those of the front division of the palace, but there are forbidden soldiers in helmets and armor guarding the door, which adds a bit of solemnity.
Zhang Yue, dressed in a purple robe, was really very stylish, and when he stepped to the front of the steps, a young junior officer immediately stepped forward quickly, bowed and hugged his fists and said: "This is the official office of the Guards Division, dare to ask the general whether he is coming to perform his duties or is he on business?" ”
"Naturally, he has performed his duties, is the guard Ma Bu Li Duyu waiting?" Zhang Yue nodded and asked, he only had the promotion book on him, and he hadn't received the letter yet, but there was nothing to inspect, so he had to report Li Chongjin's official name.
"Li Duyu came early in the morning, and he hasn't left yet! The general is a newcomer, and the humble position will guide you! The petty officer smiled flatteringly and volunteered.
With familiar people leading the way, things are much easier, and the advance in the government office is the compound and the wings, all of which are all kinds of official rooms, and there are officials who are busy in and out. The inside of the atrium is the section hall, after the detour along the side corridor to the festival hall, here is a small courtyard here, and in the middle of the inner side is the chief and deputy commander of the guard division, and the signing room of the chief and deputy Du Yu Hou, and on both sides is the official room of the main and deputy horse step envoys and Du Yu Hou, and the subordinate scribes.
This is the main courtyard, and the east and west wings are the main and deputy commanders of the guards and pro-army horses, and the main and deputy Yu Hou, the commanders of the horse army, the infantry and the subordinates. If you are not familiar with the forbidden army system, you will be dizzy just because of the almost the same job title, and you can't find where the official signing room is.
However, this is a distinction between upper and lower levels, and the guard division has three branches: horse, foot, and bow, but the bow is an accessory to the step, and it is actually two branches. The next level is the Longjie left and right compartments, the Hujie left and right compartments, and the next level is the army, each army has at least five battalions and about 2,500 soldiers, but there is no office office at the army level.
From the point of view of an advanced professional soldier, Zhang Yue very much disagrees with this establishment, and the official name of "commander" alone overlaps by four levels, although there is a difference in military compartments, but this is still easy to cause confusion among ordinary soldiers about the upper institutional structure, so that soldiers cannot see their own way to promotion, and military discipline is not good.
Moreover, there is another big problem, the number of middle- and upper-level soldiers is too large, and the promotion to the capital has more than 20,000 troops. And these are one of the root causes of the turmoil.
Entering the signing room, Li Chongjin was waving a pen behind the desk inside, and there was an officer next to him holding a stack of official documents, and Li Chongjin was flipping through the signatures. Zhang Yue didn't want to come forward to disturb, and stood aside and waited.
Li Chongjin quickly finished signing, said a few words to the officer, turned his head and saw Zhang Yue, and greeted and reproached: "They came early in the morning to get the talisman seal on the morning of their promotion and transfer, and they took office immediately, and you actually didn't come until now." ”
"Is that still convenient? Will be in the corner or something, there should be a spare one in the left wing of the Hujie office, right? Zhang Yue asked, in fact, there is also a roster of officers for the record, these have to go to the Left Wing Office to find it, and then go to the camp to convene the officers to testify, and the things that have taken office at the beginning are very complicated.
"The talisman, seal, and flag are ready, and you sign and take this to the treasury to pick it up. The left wing of Hujie should start to rectify and fill the vacancies as soon as possible, and submit the roster after it is completed. ”
Li Chongjin said, took out a blank official document and wrote it properly, and then handed it to Zhang Yue to sign and draw, wait for the ink to dry and then stamp the big seal, and then go to the treasury to get it, and then go to the Hujie Left Wing Office to see, but only seven or eight small officials were on duty in the public house.
Zhang Yue showed out the military talisman, that is, the waist card, and the little officials hurriedly stepped forward to salute, saying that Murong Yanzhao, the deputy capital, had come in the morning and took the junior officers to the camp. Murong Yanzhao was also promoted from the front division of the palace, and it is estimated that he does not know the situation of the guard division.
Zhang Yue still has to go to the Privy Council and the Ministry of War for the record, so that he can complete the procedures for taking office. The Privy Council is the equivalent of the Ministry of Defense, while the Ministry of War has actually lost a lot of power and has become the Ministry of Military Logistics.
This lap was almost noon, Zhang Yue took Du Ximi out of Zuoye Gate again, and went east along Liangmen Street to the camp of the Guards Division, and found the Hujie Left Wing Station, Murong Yanzhao was leading the horse out of it.
"I thought that Zhang Du didn't come today, and he was going back!" Murong Yanzhao said with some surprise.
"No hurry! It's not too late to go back later, are the officers in the left compartment all there? Zhang Yue said with a smile, he came here to find out what the situation was in the left compartment now.
"It's still there...... If you come later, you'll all go back. Murong Yanzhao laughed, so he had to turn around and walk back and take Zhang Yue to the barracks.
This is the big camp, and the officers and soldiers who have settled in Tokyo usually go back, and those who are too far away will live in the barracks, so the big camp seems very deserted. When he arrived at the barracks, Murong Yanzhao first took Zhang Yue to the official room and ordered the lower-level military envoys to come over to pay a visit.
This official room is much smaller than the official office of the imperial city, and the lobby can only be crowded with twenty or thirty people, Zhang Yue sat on the main seat first, and when he saw that the officers had not yet arrived, he asked: "How many troops are there in the left wing, how many soldiers are missing, and how many officers are there?" ”
"There are ten armies in the left wing, the second and third armies were disabled by He Hui, the first army is the horse army, and the fourth to ten are all infantry troops, with a total shortage of two or three thousand soldiers, and the officers have not yet been counted. Murong Yanzhao said with some annoyance.
"Freezing three feet, not a day's cold, in a few days to officially start to deal with. It seems that there is still a shortage of chief and deputy ministers in our left wing, and I am reporting the candidates, and General Murong can propose the candidates for the deputy envoys. ”
"Thank you very much, I originally had five battalions under my command, one was lost in Gaoping, and now the remaining horses and feet account for half, and they can be used as an army when they are reorganized...... They are here, General Zhang can get acquainted with them first. Murong Yanzhao saw that Zhang Yue was still good at talking, so he didn't keep it, and introduced it very happily.
A large group of military-level generals poured into the hall, plus Zhang Yue and Murong Yanzhao's original officers, a total of fifty-eight people, the hall could not be crowded, and some could only stand outside the door. With so many people, it was difficult for Zhang Yue to remember them all, so he took out the soldier seal letter on the spot, officially announced his appointment, and after a few words of encouragement, he asked the generals to retreat, said goodbye to Murong Yanzhao, and then walked out of the official room and went with Li Chuyun to see his brothers in his headquarters.
"The combat exploits of the officers and soldiers of each battalion and the promotions and pensions that should be given have been counted by Mr. Feng, and the roster is here." Li Chuyun said as he walked.
"Let's give the reward and the pension first! As for the rise and fall of combat exploits...... You were promoted to the left wing, and led the first, fourth, and seventh battalions into the forbidden army, and Xue Wenqian and Hao Tianying led the remaining five battalions back to Huizhou, so this will have to wait a few days and see the situation. Zhang Yue thought about it and said.
"The last general has not actually made any great achievements, and he will take office with the envoy, of course the last general will be happy, but what about later?" Li Chuyun is very shrewd, and secretly guesses that Zhang Yue's appointment as the general of the forbidden army may not be a long-term thing, and the headquarters will be separated, and he may no longer be a descendant if he is transferred.
"Who will say clearly in the future, but this is not a contradiction, Brother Zhengyuan is a general, and there will be no more wars in Huizhou for a period of time, it is inevitable that it will be wasted, and it is better to transfer to the forbidden army to gild. Even if I'm transferred out later, at least we'll still have the righteousness of the robe, won't we? Of course, Zhang Yue understood what Li Chuyun meant, and said frankly.
"All make it say, and the last will remember!" Grateful for Zhang Yue's special arrangement, Li Chuyun solemnly hugged his fists. (To be continued.) )
