The ancestor of the king of Longqing was the cousin of Emperor Hongwu within five suits, so he was able to be named the king of the county, but the relationship with Emperor Hongwu was farther than that of King Su's ancestor and King Fu.

The reason why Li Yuntian took Wang Bin to Jiaozhi and left him to work in the staff headquarters of the Xiaowu Army was that apart from Wang Bin's wife, Zhu Yuxin, the second daughter of Wang Yan of Longqing County, entrusted Zhu Yuxin, the chief of Shuiyun County, to intercede, the most important reason was that Wang Bin was talented and free by nature, and in Li Yuntian's opinion, he was a talented person who was good at strategy, so he was placed in a key department like the General Staff.

The combination between Wang Bin and the county lord of Shuiyun is full of a hint of romance, it stands to reason that Wang Bin does not meet the conditions for marrying the lord of Shuiyun County after the title of the gold list, he will be arranged to experience in the major ministries and courtyards of the capital, and get the opportunity to take the Jishi exam.

But to everyone's surprise, after drinking the Qionglin banquet prepared by Shuntian Mansion Yin for the new science and technology scholars, Wang Bin went straight to the Longqing County Mansion to find the King of Longqing County to propose marriage, giving up his good future and wanting to marry the county lord of Shuiyun, and the county lord of Shuiyun also knelt on the ground and asked Wang Chengquan of Longqing County to complete the two.

It turned out that Wang Bin met the county lord of Shuiyun when he was preparing for the exam in the capital, and the two fell in love at first sight, so Wang Bin gave up his career, otherwise the county lord of Shuiyun would marry someone else.

The king of Longqing County was surprised and delighted by this, and never expected that he would have a son-in-law of Jinshi, so he naturally would not object to this matter, and secretly bought off the official in charge of the marriage of the lord of Shuiyun County, so that Wang Bin finally became the guest of honor of the palace of Longqing County, and left a good story of a talented and beautiful woman among the people.

Originally, Wang Bin and the county lord of Shuiyun were kind and loving, like glue, and they were moisturized and sweet in a small day, but when Li Yuntian was named the town martial artist by Emperor Xuande, there was a faint sorrow between Wang Bin's eyebrows, and he was keenly noticed by the county lord of Shuiyun.

As the saying goes, Long Xiang Jiutian, as a man full of economy and arrogance, although Wang Bin has a deep love for the county lord of Shuiyun, how can he be willing to live a plain life in his heart?

He also wanted to make contributions like Li Yuntian, but unfortunately the road to his career had been completely blocked with becoming the guest of honor of the Longqing County Palace, and he could only cry out in vain, with empty ambitions and no place to do it.

In the face of Wang Bin's distress, the county lord of Shuiyun was anxious in his eyes, and she was powerless in front of the Ming ancestral system, and she couldn't help Wang Bin at all.

Unless...... Unless Wang Bin can be knighted on the battlefield like Li Yuntian and become a noble of the Ming Dynasty, he will not be able to get rid of the restrictions of the Ming ancestral system and enter the officialdom.

However, it is not easy to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and the swords and swords on the battlefield are bloody and rainy, and if you can't guarantee your life, you will be gone.

What is particularly important is that Wang Bin must first have a military position, because according to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, only military attachés can enter the knighthood after making military merits, and civil officials can only be promoted to official ranks even if they make great contributions.

Take Li Yuntian as an example, he is a civil official from the two lists, and the reason why he was able to enter the earl after quelling the rebellion of the Han King was because he had two military positions at that time, one was the chief instructor of the martial arts hall, and the other was also in charge of the military pavilion Wuxuan Qing Officials Division Wuju Hall.

If there is no military position, even if Li Yuntian is born and dies in Heiniu Town, what he will get in the end is only the promotion of the official rank and the reward of Emperor Xuande.

However, the military position is not so easy to come, the army of the Ming Dynasty implements the cantonment system, and officers at all levels are hereditary, which can be described as a radish and a pit, where is the redundant official position?

After all, not everyone has such a good opportunity as Li Yuntian to be able to serve as a civilian official and a military attache at the same time, usually speaking, civil officials and military attaches cannot be converted to each other, because this not only involves the interests of both parties, but also has a specialization in the art industry, who will accept a layman to be their boss?

The reason why Li Yuntian was able to become a military attache was due to his meticulous planning, first serving as the chief instructor of the Jingshi Martial Arts Hall, and then persuading Emperor Xuande to set up a military cabinet, merging the military department with the governor's office of the five armies, so that the civilian officials of the military department were transformed into military attachés of the military cabinet.

The Jingshi Lecture Martial Arts Hall is also a subordinate department of the Ministry of War, and Li Yuntian naturally has the identity of a military attache with the merger of the Ministry of War into the Military Cabinet, and at the same time he is also the superintendent of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then crossed the boundary between civilian officials and military attaches in one fell swoop.

Speaking of which, Wang Bin's identity is very special, although he can't get involved in the official career, but he is an out-and-out official of the Ming Dynasty, because according to the etiquette system, the guest of honor of the county lord of Daming is an idle official position from the sixth grade, and he only takes a salary and has no actual position.

To put it simply, if the county lord's guest of honor is a white ding with no fame, then after marrying the county lord, he will become an official of the Ming Dynasty from the sixth grade, and he will become an official and bid farewell to the identity of the common people.

This is the reason why the children of those businessmen who have no hope of a career rush to them, with the title of the emperor's relatives, the social status of those businessmen will rise, and there will be a lot less trouble in business.

It is worth mentioning that the guests of honor and the horses are the same as the imperial relatives of the Ming Dynasty, and they do not belong to the category of civil officials and military officials, but the etiquette system of official robes and costumes is the same as that of the princes and uncles.

Don't look at Wang Bin is the guest of honor of the palace of Longqing County, you are a relative of the emperor, but it is not easy for him to get a military position, only the king of Longqing County asked him for a military position from Emperor Xuande, and then reported to the military cabinet.

This means that Wang Bin's descendants will become the military household of the Ming Dynasty, and they will not be able to take the imperial examination in the future, so they can only join the army.

Even if the king of Longqing County asked Wang Bin for a martial arts position from Emperor Xuande, then it is estimated that there are only 100 households with six products, and it is even more difficult to accumulate enough military exploits to be knighted.

In addition, all the nobles who entered the knighthood climbed up on the pile of dead people, and I don't know if Wang Bin had the life to wait until that day.

Facing Wang Bin, who was getting more and more depressed, the county lord of Shuiyun couldn't help but feel sad, she and Wang Bin had lived for so many years, and naturally knew that Wang Bin was not the kind of person who was willing to be lonely, and he should show his strength in his career and create a career.

But at this point, there is only one way to go, and you can't really let Wang Bin carry a knife to the battlefield to fight the enemy! This may be Wang Bin's fate.

However, things took a turn for the better after Li Yuntian led his army to Jiaozhi to quell the rebellion and Zhu Yuxin married Li Yuntian, and the county lord of Shuiyun immediately realized that this was a golden opportunity for Wang Bin.

The county lord of Shuiyun and Zhu Yuxin are of the same age, as the Ming Dynasty is in the capital, the relationship between the two families is very good, and the two are also friends from childhood to adulthood, so the county lord of Shuiyun went to find Zhu Yuxin on the night of the Empress Dowager Zhang's marriage, hoping that Zhu Yuxin could intercede with Li Yuntian and let Wang Bin follow Li Yuntian to Jiaozhi to quell the rebellion.

According to the usual practice, as the commander of this counterinsurgency, Li Yuntian can be appointed with him from the military attache of the court.

It is worth mentioning that the transfer and command of troops in the Ming Dynasty are two completely different systems.

In the Ming Dynasty's military command system, the positions from high to low are:

The Metropolitan Governor, the Governor of the Governor, the Governor of the Governor, the Commander of the Envoy, the Commander of the Commander, the Commander of the Guard, the Commander of the Governor, the Governor

In the Ming Dynasty's troop transfer system, the positions from high to low are:

General Soldier, Deputy General Soldier, Staff General, Guerrilla General, Garrison, Thousand General, Captain and General General.

It must be pointed out that the official posts in the troop transfer system do not have grades, and they are only set up in the event of war, and they are a post that is temporarily dispatched, and the post is automatically cancelled after the war is over, and it is in the nature of a "bad officer."

Generally speaking, the commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief and staff general are served by military attachés or nobles above the governor and the governor, but there is no specific customization, it is just a rule that is recognized by the public in the officialdom, otherwise Liang Shaojie cannot serve as the right deputy commander-in-chief as the commander of the capital.

The general army should be awarded the general seal by the emperor as a proof of troop transfer, for example, the general army of Guangxi hangs the seal of the general of Zhenman, and the general army of Jiaozhi hangs the seal of the deputy general of the conscription.

The deputy general soldier is also known as the "deputy general", and like the general and guerrilla general, he belongs to the generals in the army.

For example, Liang Shaojie's military position was to command Tongzhi in the Governor's Office of the Chinese Army, but when he led the army to Jiaozhi to quell the rebellion, he was to transfer troops to fight as the right deputy commander-in-chief, rather than commanding Tongzhi.

Wang Bin is a relative of the emperor and has a special status, although he does not belong to civil officials and military officials, but as a guest of honor of the Ming Dynasty, he can also go out with Li Yuntian and kill the enemy on the battlefield.

After all, it is also the duty of the emperor's relatives to serve the country loyally, and now that the war is urgent, how can the imperial court prevent him from serving the country, so Wang Bin can get a position in the counterinsurgency army, and then make military achievements.

And it is precisely because of the special status of Wang Binhuang's relatives that the reward for his military merits will be the same as that of the military attaché, and according to his rank, he will be promoted to military positions such as Qianhu and Wei Commander.

However, it must be explained that Wang Bin's promotion of official positions such as Qianhu or Wei Commander is just a fictitious position, just used to show his rank, a symbol of identity and status, and there is no position in the army, so it will not become a hereditary military household.

To tell the truth, the county lord of Shuiyun was not willing to let Wang Bin go to Jiaozhi, the battle situation in Jiaozhi was now extremely unfavorable to the Ming army, and Li Yuntian only brought 3,000 Xiaowu troops to the expedition in a hurry, which can be described as unpredictable.

However, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Wang Bin, and she really doesn't want to give it up.

The reason is very simple, Li Yuntian is also a jinshi in the two lists, coupled with the close relationship between the county lord of Shuiyun and Zhu Yuxin, he must definitely take good care of Wang Bin, and even if there is danger, he will definitely protect Wang Bin.

In case of successfully quelling the Jiaozhi rebellion this time, Li Yuntian will definitely not treat Wang Bin badly, and give Wang Bin a good report to the imperial court, even if Wang Bin can't be promoted to the knighthood at that time, he must be able to promote a lot of grades.

What is particularly important is that a close connection will be established between Wang Bin and Li Yuntian after the rebellion is quelled, and if Li Yuntian transfers Wang Bin to the Jiangwutang as an official after the rebellion, then presumably Emperor Xuande will also be gracious, and then Wang Bin will be able to step into the official career.

Sure enough, Li Yuntian did not disappoint the county lord of Shuiyun, and asked Wang Bin to come to the Wutang meeting before the day of the expedition, which showed that Li Yuntian would entrust Wang Bin with a heavy responsibility, and it would be of great benefit to Wang Bin to make meritorious contributions.

As a result, there are two imperial relatives among the troops in this counterinsurgency, one is Liu Shaojie, and the other is Wang Bin.

Speaking of which, the two are also related to Li Yuntian, and Zhu Yuxin is the aunt of Liu Shaojie and Wang Bin, so Li Yuntian is the uncle of the two.!^!
