Chapter 76: General Tao Shoots the Wolf with Arrows (9)
Tianjia life is the most standardized project on this shijie at present.
No matter where Zhu Cihong lives, he uses the same bedding, the same agarwood, the same diet, and even the new underwear that comes up every day is exactly the same. This made Zhu Cihong wake up in a trance and think that he was still in the outer mansion, but he only saw the branch in the window and remembered that he was staying in the palace last night.
Life in the palace is cumbersome and complicated, and from the morning, Zhu Cihong has to go to three palaces to ask for good morning and ask the elders if they are healthy. Although it is a routine dialogue, it is a relatively difficult task to ask for sincere filial piety.
Then there was breakfast, although there were more styles than in the outer house, but during the meal there were people playing solemn music, which somewhat hindered the appetite.
By the time the work that should be done in the morning was completed, Zhu Cihong was already late for the military meeting of the whole army arranged in the outer residence.
The main topic of this military meeting was the appointment of commanders at all levels, and then the determination of military ranks and the unification of ranks. The military rank is created by the Internal Supervision Banking Bureau. The rank of non-commissioned officer is crossed by two long knives, and the lower part is decorated with horizontal bars representing grades 1 to 5. It is made of black iron, embedded in the cardboard of the wrapping cloth, and the zuihou is fixed to the iron armor.
The lieutenant's epaulettes are made of bronze, with three or one acutely angled cross representing the morning star, with a straight bar in the middle.
At the rank of school officer, the metal material of the epaulettes is silver, and the star emblem is sandwiched between two horizontal bars.
Although there are no generals yet, the style and material of the epaulettes announced are desirable. Once promoted to the rank of general, the epaulette is a group python made of gold. If you become a general, carrying three four-clawed pythons on each shoulder, the weight of gold alone is not light.
"Tut-tut, I really don't know what it's like to have gold on your shoulders!" Because of his good physical test results, Wang Mafu has two more Shangguan Baoju, which has risen to the top 100 and is also eligible to participate in the military conference.
Xiao Tugeng sat beside him, squinting at his former subordinates, and still remembered that Wang Mafu was sitting on the bed with a cowardly bare face, looking like he was being eaten to death.
Although Wang Mafu is on an equal footing with Xiao Tugeng, the general manager of his bureau is not the same as the general manager of his old boss. Everyone knows that after Xiao Tugeng killed a principal, he was sent to Anmin Factory. Now some well-informed people even said that Xiao Tugeng's game should be assigned to the Shenji Battalion, and Xiao Tugeng himself may have to jump two levels in a row and become a thousand generals.
Seeing that Xiao Tugeng didn't speak, Wang Mafu smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I'm afraid Brother Xiao is going to confer a colonel this time, right?" ”
"It's all shadowless things." Xiao Tugeng suppressed the joy in his heart and pretended to be light and light. Although he was already surging in his heart, looking at Xiao Mo who was sitting like a mountain in front of him, Xiao Tugeng seemed to have found an example.
- That's the real general!
Xiao Tugeng admired it in his heart, and gently turned his heels to spread his legs wider, looking more powerful.
"Brother Xiao, why hasn't the prince come yet?" Wang Mafu stretched his neck.
"Shut up!" Xiao Tugeng lowered his voice and sat more firmly. He kept looking at Xiao Mo and found that no matter how he whispered to him left and right, Xiao Mo was sitting quietly and not moving, and he couldn't help but feel more admiration. If the rumors are true, he will also become a big official like Xiao Mo, which must be learned.
At the beginning, Xiao Tugeng took more than a dozen brothers in the mine, but he felt that managing people was really a very simple matter. As long as you are fierce enough and know more than others, others will naturally obey you. When he arrived at the guard camp of the East Palace, he realized that it was better to be afraid than to obey, and if he wanted to suppress hundreds of people, he had to rely on people to obey.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never blackened his face, but everyone respects His Royal Highness from the bottom of their hearts. Whatever order Your Highness makes, you can't go wrong just doing it! Xiao Tugeng is extremely convinced in his heart, and at the same time, he also believes that the prince is indeed the star monarch in the world, otherwise those who are ungrateful and say bad things about the prince behind their backs have all contracted the plague?
It must be that they are not sincere in their hearts and have lost the protection of His Royal Highness the Prince, so they will be taken by the plague god.
Xiao Tugeng suddenly remembered that there were more Taoist priests in the camp recently, persuading people to believe, helping people draw talismans, and telling a lot of stories. He felt that it was very inappropriate to let Taoist priests come and go in the military camp, because in the past, monks were not allowed to approach the mines, let alone the military camp?
But some people say that these Taoist priests are here with the mandate of heaven, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince authorized them to preach in the army, and also allowed them to become military doctors, so that he no longer contradicts these Taoist priests.
However, these Taoist priests did have some ways to explain things that the previous instructors couldn't explain, although the instructors were very dissatisfied with this.
Xiao Tugeng quietly turned his gaze and found that there were several Confucian scholars in green shirts sitting in a corner of the hall. Although they are dressed in Confucian clothes, they are serious doctors in green shirts. The person at the head is close to the age of sixties, but he is well maintained, and he forgot his surname Yu or Yu, he is a very capable doctor, but I don't know what he is doing here.
"Brother Xiao," Wang Mafu carefully stabbed Xiao Tugeng, "What the hell is the Shenji Battalion for?" ”
Xiao Tugeng had already made up his mind to ignore him, but he was tickled by this question. What he can't stand the most is Wang Mafu, who always asks some questions that everyone knows. Answer, it doesn't show the level; Wouldn't it be a shame not to answer him, maybe let him think that he didn't know?
"They all say that there are three major battalions and three major battalions, which are the three big battalions?" Wang Mafu asked, "Is there a guard camp in our East Palace?" ”
"The three battalions are the five military battalions, the three thousand battalions, and the Shenji battalion!" Xiao Tugeng suppressed his throat and said in a rough voice: "Didn't you listen to what the instructor said?" ”
Wang Mafu shook his head innocently and said, "The instructor of our flag team can only write and calculate, and he doesn't understand anything. ”
Xiao Tugeng couldn't help but be a little proud. The bureau instructor is a little eunuch who came out of the inner study, but he used to listen to the errand in the imperial horse. It sounds like a horseman, who knows that in the emperor's house, the man in charge of the horse is also in charge of thousands of people.
It was all thanks to that little eunuch that Xiao Tugeng had a thorough understanding of the Ming military system, at least the three major battalions and the twenty-six direct guards would not be mistaken.
"The Fifth Army Battalion is an infantry battalion, the 3,000 Battalion is a cavalry battalion, and the Shenji Battalion specializes in firearms." Xiao Tugeng was simple and clear, and couldn't help but say: "The elite from all over the country who enter Beijing to be on duty is called the squad army, and it is also under the management of the five military camps. We don't have cavalry, I'm afraid most of us will be assigned to the five military camps to become officials. ”
He said this with depth and breadth, quite like an insider, and the hundreds of people who were talking quietly around looked over, their eyes were full of expectation, hoping that he would say more.
Xiao Tugeng was greatly satisfied, sat up correctly, pursed his lips, and looked iron-faced and unkind.
Finally, the cannon rang out outside, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived!
