Chapter 6: Windfall
"Congratulations, congratulations."
After Zhu Jian and Wang Chengen and others left, all the Jinyi guards congratulated the new commander Lei Yin Lei, with a full expression of envy on their faces, of course, they were also promoted to a level, and they were all overjoyed, and the most encouraging thing was the emperor's attitude and commitment, Jinyiwei was not only not abolished, on the contrary, it would be more reused, and the big guy had a bright future, provided that he was not only loyal, but also not a traitor, corruption, or click.
One hand radish, one hand stick, Zhu Jian likes to use this trick very much, simple and practical, much more effective than painting a pie and writing a blank check, he is interested in Lei Zhenjiang, naturally he wants to check the roots of the Lei family, this check really gave him an unexpected gain.
The Lei family can be said to be a family of Jinyiwei, but it is not hereditary, Lei Zhenjiang's grandfather Lei Hong, the general banner of Jinyiwei, died in a battle to arrest the Qin criminals of the imperial court, his father Lei Yin, the ability is not bad, once an official to the deputy Qianhu of the Jinyi Wei, also disabled in a battle to arrest the Qin prisoners of the imperial court, lost a right arm, and had to retire early.
The Lei family has been passed down for several generations, Lei Hong had an idea when he was alive, forcing his son Lei Yin to study and gain fame, enter the dynasty as an official, and glorify his ancestors, it is normal for Lei Hong to have such an idea, the status of civil officials is much higher than that of military generals, and all the people in the world who read hard for ten years have studied hard in the cold window, and the goods are with the emperor's family, and the lintel is glorious.
But then again, there are countless people reading in the world, there are only a few admission places, the probability of winning is very low, Jinyiwei is a thorn in the side of the civil official group, Lei Yin is knowledgeable, as long as the invigilator is a civil official, he will never be admitted to Xiucai, he has been studying hard for more than ten years, seeing that he is sitting and eating empty, and he is getting older, he can only take over the banner of his fathers in desperation, and remix Jinyiwei, fortunately, he has read a lot of books, is smart, and even made meritorious contributions, which is quite appreciated by his boss, and mixed to the position of deputy thousand households, Unfortunately, he was disabled in the line of duty and had to retire early.
Lei Yin also has the same idea as his father in his heart, forcing his son Lei Zhenjiang to study hard and get the fame of Xiucai, but then he didn't have eggs, Lei Zhenjiang, who was also a good learner, couldn't get into Xiucai no matter how he took the exam, and he joined Jinyiwei in desperation, and climbed to the position of Jinyiwei's general banner with a lot of merits, but he would not flatter, no matter how capable he was, at most he could only mix with a deputy thousand households from Wupin like his father, and he was not squeezed out by the former commander Tian Ergeng, also because of his ability.
Zhu Jian asked people to call Lei Yin, who was retired at home, Lei Yin was actually only in his forties, it was when a man's energy was at its peak, he was capable, and he had been the deputy of Jinyiwei, after some exchanges, he made a decision on the spot, and this Jinyiwei commander is you.
He also wanted to test the Lei family's father and son for a while, but time did not allow, Jinyiwei was now a plate of scattered sand, he had to rectify it immediately, operate as soon as possible, act as his eyes and ears, Lei Yin was his only choice.
The radish is given, and the back must be brandished with a big stick to intimidate, in addition to loyalty, character and discipline can not be too bad, greedy for a little money, I can pretend not to know, but not too greedy, otherwise, no matter how much credit you have, I will still click you, raid your home, and help you take care of your daughter-in-law and daughter.
Cripples can be hit by pies while lying at home, and the father and son of the Lei family were so moved that they cried on the spot, patted their chests to ensure that they were loyal to the country, and swore to serve His Majesty to the death.
In order to appease the panicked Jinyi Guard, in addition to appreciating some silver, everyone was promoted to a level, Lei Zhenjiang was promoted to a thousand households and sent to the Liaodong Guard, before leaving, the father and son were summoned into the palace by Zhu Jian and talked secretly for several hours.
Since he chose to reuse the Lei family's father and son, he naturally trusted them, and the reason why he sent Lei Zhenjiang to Liaodong Weisu was because he was worried about the situation in Liaodong, and the Jin army was making too much trouble over there, and many businessmen forgot their righteousness for profit, not only stealing contraband, but also selling intelligence, acting as shameful traitors.
The situation in Liaodong is complicated, the clan forces are intertwined, there are too many traitors, officials and bandits collude, Zhu Jian is worried that Lei Zhenjiang is in danger over there, he gave him a lot of privileges, and taught him some secrets, when Lei Zhenjiang set off for Liaodong, he brought more than a dozen Jinyi Wei masters with him, and used his privileges to recruit hundreds of people along the way, expanding his strength, with Zhu Jian's expectations, and a blacklist of Jin merchants and traitors led by Shanxi Fan, and full of passion to serve the country.
After messing up the affairs of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, Zhu Jian breathed a sigh of relief, but the political affairs of the court still gave him a headache, and the Donglin Party and non-party civil officials quarreled for the vacated positions, spitting at each other, you impeach me, I yin you, and made a lot of trouble, and even rolled up his sleeves and staged a full martial arts in the solemn Jinluan Palace, and in the end it was the powerful Donglin Party that prevailed.
No one can know better than Zhu Jian about the power and cheating of the Donglin Party, and public opinion is controlled and manipulated by the Donglin Party, as long as they are willing, an ordinary little thing can turn it into a fatal event that is about to collapse, and you will vomit dozens of liters of blood, shrink your head and hold eggs as a turtle.
It was precisely because he knew the strength of the Donglin Party that Zhu Jian chose to endure and gave a few painless official positions to the Donglin Party, and some important positions were not implemented immediately, he pretended to be confused, playing the flip slip trick, and he was waiting for the sworn enemy of the Donglin Party to appear.
After waiting for a few days, that person didn't wait, but Lei Zhenjiang, who went to Liaodong to take up his post, brought him back good news, and caught a wandering warlock named Song Kangnian on the way, who was also from Yongcheng, Henan, but I don't know if it was the Song Xiance Song dwarf on the white list, he had asked four of his subordinates to escort Song Xiance back to Beijing.
Zhu Jian relied on his memory to make a list of the names and birthplaces of some cattle in the late Ming Dynasty, the list is divided into black, white, and red, the people on the black list must be clicked, the red list is to be bought, and the white list is based on the actual situation.
Song Xiance is on the white list, if he resists and escapes when he is caught, Lei Zhenjiang will definitely kill him without hesitation, it is much more convenient for the dead than for the living, but Song Xiance will still be a wandering warlock who can only fool people, cheat and cheat money, and his small life is quite nourishing, and he has not yet taken refuge in Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have not rebelled yet, and Zhu Jian has given Wang Chengen two secret decrees, asking him to dispatch two batches of reliable Jinyiwei and Dongchang masters to quietly kill Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to get rid of future troubles.
Although the arrangements were made in advance, he was not too relieved, before the master of the East Factory set off, he personally confessed, and promised to get the heads of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, a reward of 1,000 taels, and an official promotion of three levels.
Lei Yin, who had just been promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, also had that list in his hand, and received a secret letter from his son Lei Zhenjiang, knowing that his son had inadvertently neutralized Dagong, he was overjoyed, and sent a team of Jinyi Guards to pick up people quickly, and be sure to escort Song Xiance back to Beijing safely.
When Song Xiance was carried into the palace by the Jinyi guard, this guy was still asleep.
