"Master Hou, I asked Wang Zhongcheng." Qiao Gui walked in from outside with a smile in his hand, and put it in front of Zhang Ke with a jar of champion red in his hand.

"He said, Yongzhen, you have to at least take a step higher, mix up with the hereditary grandfather of the country, and wait until you go straight to Huanglong, destroy Jiannu, and be crowned king with a different surname, it's okay! Let's celebrate first, see no, this jar of wine is almost thirty or forty years old. I heard that the child was buried when he was born, but when the child became a grandfather, he didn't get into the top prize! ”

Qiao Gui laughed and said: "If I want to say that I have made a contribution, I have to rely on the three-foot sword in my hand, and I have a stomach full of sour water, and it is useless to fart!" ”

Qiao Gui said that he was happy, but Zhang Ke didn't have any joy on his face, and he couldn't help but stop, saying in his heart Could it be that this is the demeanor of a general, joy and anger are invisible, it seems that he still has to cultivate!

"Hehe, Brother Gui, you go and call all the big guys over, let's drink together!" Zhang Ke said suddenly.

Qiao Gui hurriedly got up, and when he arrived at the door, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Yongzhen, have you called them all?" ”

"Hmm!"

After a while, Zhang Feng walked in the front, followed by Ma Rufeng, Tang Hui, Sun Degong, Zhou Dunji, Yu Weiliang, and Qin Liangyu.

When the big guy came in, the study immediately became cramped, and there was no place to sit, so he could only stand. However, Zhang Ke did not mean to change places.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Guangning fought a battle, fortunately, you came to the rescue, Zhang Ke is grateful!" As he spoke, Zhang Ke bowed and saluted.

Several people were so frightened that they hurriedly waved their hands, and Zhou Dunji said: "Master Hou, you treat us with the grace of heaven and earth, and it is our duty to work hard with the Tartars, where can we afford the words of thank you from Master Hou." ”

Sun Degong also smiled: "That's right, we are all Hou Ye's subordinates, if you dare to disobey the order, your brothers will tear us apart!" Master Hou, you are our family. There's nothing else to say, my grandson's life has already been sold to Master Hou! ”

As soon as they took the lead, others expressed their positions, and a group of martial artists swore by the sky and desperately showed their loyalty.

Zhang Feng knows his brother's mind best, and he is the eldest brother, so he has no scruples when he speaks.

"Yongzhen, if you have any orders, please say it directly!"

Zhang Ke nodded. Calmly smiled: "In the battle of Guangning, we killed twenty or thirty thousand Jiannu, captured more than 20,000 prisoners, and killed Du Du and Amin two Beile, and captured Abatai alive. In terms of the results of the war, it surpasses Changsheng Island, and even in previous battles, even since the founding of the country, it is rare. Everyone is a great contributor. The imperial court was indispensable for rewards, and the deputy chief soldier was promoted to the chief soldier, who was originally the governor of the capital, and was promoted to the governor of the same country. Even the governor of Zuo, with the honorary title of Gonggu, a product of official residence, and a wife and son. It has almost reached the apex of military generals. ”

What Zhang Ke said was the truth, but the big guy heard a different meaning from his words.

Qin Liangyu was the most straightforward, and said with a hearty smile: "Master Hou." Little women and women, if you have any points, please let Master Hou make it clear. ”

"Well, Mrs. Qin, don't be impatient."

Zhang Ke slowly turned around on the ground a few times, sighed, and said: "Everyone knows the situation in the imperial court, and the nobles and martial arts are cheap. Even if we are officials of the first grade, we can't match the nobility of the seventh-grade Hanlin. As the saying goes, if we shoot the first bird, we people are too conspicuous, and we will inevitably invite disaster. ”

Suck!

Everyone was amazed, and since the great victory, they have been immersed in joy and patronizing to think of good things. Zhang Ke's words were like a basin of cold water, splashed on everyone's heads.

After a while, Sun Degong asked tentatively: "Master Hou, is there any news that is difficult to write, is the court going to unload the mill and kill the donkey?" ”

"Dare!" Tang Hui shouted: "I am born and die, I am not afraid of anything, the court wants to send a Sun Degong to seize power, and Lao Tzu will fight with him!" ”

Zhang Feng asked, "Second brother, what are the actions of the real imperial court?" ”

"There are none!" Zhang Ke said with a smile: "The imperial court has just come to the decree and asked me to draw up a list of meritorious soldiers and reward the big guys." ”

What a good thing! Everyone's eyes widened, could there be something wrong with it?

"It's a good thing for officials to be rewarded, but the court specifically mentioned that it should be reused, and there are articles in it." Zhang Ke smiled: "I guessed right, the imperial court wants to transfer some of you to the nine sides, or the inland provinces, the Ming Dynasty is everywhere, and it is inseparable from people!" ”

No one is a fool, after listening to Zhang Ke, they lowered their heads one by one and pondered.

In fact, most of them are miscellaneous commanders, and if they are transferred to other places, such as Henan and Shanxi, they will definitely be promoted.

But does this ascension make sense? No fart!

The Yizhou soldiers are almost an independent system, and the major general soldiers directly listen to Zhang Ke's orders, money, food, ordnance, and soldier supplements, all have their own systems, and they don't need to look at others.

If you are transferred to the mainland, there are governors, governors, political envoys, inspectors, a bunch of eunuchs, and even prefects and county orders can not take them seriously!

In the name of high ascension, in fact, it fell into the pile of stepmothers, just wait to be angry.

"Second brother, is there any action in the imperial court?"

"Well, in the decree of the came, it was said that Sichuan was spreading extravagance, and it was necessary to drop the white pole soldiers and go back. Mrs. Qin was appointed as the chief soldier of Sichuan, and Qin Minping was the deputy general, leading the white pole soldiers back to Sichuan to quell the rebellion. ”

"Bastard!"

Sun Degong stomped his feet angrily and sneered: "First Mrs. Qin, then you and me, before Jiannu was destroyed, the imperial court wanted to transfer all the generals away, what does it mean!" I don't think I can say yes. ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Qin Liangyu's body, Qin Liangyu frowned, arched his hand at Zhang Ke, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, everyone, your concern for the little woman is clear, but I am from Sichuan, I am the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and the court has an order, how can I not obey, I will not be disappointed by your love, please forgive me." ”

A few words are extremely beautiful, it is the responsibility to defend the land, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and no one can refute it. But as soon as the white pole soldiers left, it was tantamount to setting a bad example, if they were two heads in three days, and the troops were transferred outward, no one could stand it!

"Master Hou, what do you think we should do?" Everyone asked in unison.

"Mrs. Qin is loyal to the country, I admire it very much, and it is also appropriate to return to Sichuan to quell the rebellion. But I would like to remind Mrs. Qin a few words. ”

Qin Liangyu hurriedly bowed down and said, "Master Hou, please say, the little woman will definitely do it." ”

"Madame Qin, I have sent a letter to the imperial court, requesting that the white pole soldiers be regarded as official arms, not Tusi soldiers. In this way, the food and salary are guaranteed, and there is no need to worry about being snatched away by others after making meritorious deeds. ”

Zhang Ke remembered the white pole soldiers in history, and couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and kept charging for the Ming Dynasty, not only did not get the treatment he deserved, but continued to consume, and finally drowned in the long river of history. It's sad that no one has polished a good sword!

"Mrs. Qin, to put it mildly, it's good to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but those faint officials can't represent the Ming Dynasty, so you don't have to be loyal and filial. How many sons and nephews of the Qin and Ma families do the white pole soldiers, you can't watch them suffer! Zhang Ke said earnestly: "Mrs. Qin, although you have returned to Sichuan, we have fought side by side, and the friendship cemented with blood is more precious than anything else. No matter what grievances you have in the future, just say it, we will watch and help each other, what do you think? ”

Qin Liangyu suddenly smiled and said, "Master Hou, thank you for being able to afford it, the little woman is grateful to Dade." Don't look at the white pole soldiers returning to Sichuan, as long as you have a note, Qin Liangyu is willing to follow the work of dogs and horses! ”

"Good!"

Zhang Ke smiled and went to the front of the table, grabbed the wine jar, tore off the seal, and the aroma of wine immediately floated out, most of the people present were good wine, just smelling the smell, they were drunk a lot.

"Bring the bowl!"

The maid brought a wine bowl, everyone filled a bowl, and Zhang Ke held the wine bowl with a slight smile on his face.

"Everyone, even if the imperial court wants to transfer everyone away, as long as we twist into a rope, we will use all our energy in one place, no matter what means the imperial court plays, we all have military power in our hands! I can't kill the warriors on the battlefield, and I was bullied by a few poor people who were studying. If that's the case, you wouldn't be worthy of being my Zhang Ke's subordinate! ”

"Come, drink!"

"Drink!"

Big guy, you have a bowl, I have a bowl, and after a while, a jar of wine was drunk, and his subordinates sent two jars of wine and a table of delicacies.

drank until the time of the palm lamp, everyone was half drunk, Tang Hui ran under the table, Sun Degong gnawed the chopsticks and other chicken paws, and Yu Weiliang and Zhang Feng poured wine into each other's noses.

There are only two people left who are still sober, one is Zhang Ke, and the other is Qin Liangyu, they all say that women don't let them have eyebrows, this time Zhang Ke is considered to have seen it, and he was poured wine by the big guy in turn, except for his red face, there is nothing unusual at all.

"Marquis Zhang, I didn't expect the old woman to be so drinkable, right?"

"Mrs. Qin, you're not old at all, why are you spoiling yourself!"

"Why aren't you old, my sons are in their twenties, and they will be fifty in a few years." Qin Liangyu picked up the wine bowl with a smile and said: "Marquis Zhang, you are the only hero I have seen in my life, I can see that you are far-sighted, not only can fight, but also can be an official." If, if the woman is twenty years younger, she will definitely not let go of the wishful husband, and I don't know which girl is blessed! ”

Qin Liangyu paused slightly, then raised his wine glass, drank it all, and turned around and left the study......

Looking at her back, Zhang Ke was lost for no reason, yes, if he had traveled twenty years earlier, how could he have missed such a strange woman!

"Alas, the beauty is in the twilight!" Zhang Ke drank the wine in the glass, and also turned around and went straight to Mandariva's room, Shaohua is fleeting, youth is like blooming flowers, and wasting it is simply a crime!

……

Only ten days after the transfer of the white pole soldiers from Liaodong, the imperial court agreed to Zhang Ke's performance and appointed ten general soldiers in one go.

Zhang Feng, Guangning General Soldier, Yu Weiliang, Haizhou General Soldier, Gaizhou General Tang Hui, Yizhou General Soldier Ma Rufeng, Jinzhou General Soldier Sun Degong, Yingzhou General Soldier He Shixian, Jizhou General Soldier Zhou Dunji, Jinzhou General Soldier Wu Boyan, Fuzhou General Soldier Yue Zixuan, Admiral Jinzhou Naval Division Chief Officer Ming Wenyuan.

The total soldiers of the ten towns, all of them are Zhang Ke's subordinates, and they are all equipped with the general's seal, according to the rules of the imperial court, a town can train at least 10,000 soldiers, such as Yingzhou, and can command 20,000 cavalry. After calculation, Zhang Ke can control more than 100,000 troops.

The first warlord of the Ming Dynasty, well deserved! (To be continued......) R1292
