Chapter 34: The Emperor's Heart
Jiang Ning student Meng Shi cried in the hall, tears were like rain, the ink paper was wet, and Wang Duogong, a scholar of the Ministry of Etiquette, asked: "What?" He said: "The king is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the king is humiliated by the death of the ministers, what can I say now?" "It is to bite the middle finger, and the blood is written in the volume: do not talk about literary affairs, only talk about martial arts, and are willing to be soldiers and make contributions to the country. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info its text is very white, quite similar to martial arts. Emperor Xi, Jiazhi, want to give Jinshi and the first, everyone is said to be in harmony with the ceremony, and still born with the same Jinshi. In March, the emperor summoned him, and promised to take the post of pacifier and lead the army to fight the thief!
This is an article by Chen Zilong, the leader of the Restoration Society, which roughly explained the experience of Zhao Gaodian's test, in fact, when he saw the title "Is bearable", Zhao Gao shouted in his heart God help me, this topic is obviously only the emperor himself, representing his extremely angry mood at this time, and his impassioned appearance is definitely an actor-level performance, even he was moved, Chongzhen is obviously a young man who is easily impulsive, and he actually asked him to be the champion on the spot, fortunately, the ministers all persuaded him, and Zhao Gao also tried his best to refuse, In the end, he was given a fellow jinshi, but he was not ranked, this is understood in two ways, from the minister's point of view, Zhao Gao's test paper is obviously unqualified, and the ranking is not in line with the rules, but he is loyal and commendable, and a fellow jinshi still has to be given (the tribute himself is at least the same jinshi); From the emperor's point of view, there is no test paper that can be before Zhao Gao, including the champion paper of Yang Tingjian, although the writing is brilliant, in the end there is a lack of courage and loyalty.
Zhao Gao and Emperor Chongzhen's private recital did not last long, Zhao Gao briefly talked about his experience of participating in military service, and after a conversation, Chongzhen gave him an official position of Wei Commander Division, which was already a military attache from Wupin. Generally speaking, the revision of the Hanlin Academy, which started from the sixth grade, and the Bangyan and Tanhua all started from the compilation of the Hanlin Academy, but it was a civil official. The Ming Dynasty used the civil system to control the military, the military attache saw the civil official automatically lower than the next level, and the non-Beijing official saw the Beijing official and then one level lower, Zhao Gao directly started from the official position of the five products, although there was a little bit of overstepping, but the emperor liked it and no one pursued it anymore, Zhao Gao took the initiative to ask to go to the front line against Li Zicheng's army, Chongzhen was greatly moved, and gave the goldfish suit on the spot as a reward, Zhao Gao also made a grateful expression, and the expression of the powder was reciprocated, but also the monarch and the ministers were happy.
"Goldfish Suit: Black special equipment, exclusive to this plot world, cannot be brought out. Resist coercion, and have a coercive effect on military attachés with official positions lower than the fifth rank and civil officials with a sixth rank. ”
Chongzhen is not a good boss, but once he goes along with his wishes, he will often give you the greatest trust, and when he goes against his wishes, he will often take back this trust and give him a double punishment, Yuan Chonghuan is a lesson from the past.
At this time, although Zhao Gao's loyalty to Chongzhen was the reason for the task, he was also a little moved by him, although the constraints of the ministers only gave an official from the fifth grade, but added a cheap title, which is equivalent to saying that this is my henchman, so although Zhao Gao is still subordinate to the front-line commander who fought against Li Zicheng at this time, Sun Chuanting, a B-level historical figure in the Ministry of War, has the qualification to lead the army independently, the Ming Dynasty is precious, and often the highest commanders in the army are civilian officials, and the specific generals who lead the troops are military attachés, Although Zhao Gao is now a military attaché, he is also a two-rank jinshi, and he is quite famous in Shilin, Sun Chuanting neither looks down on him nor wants to command him, so he has to transfer him from afar, which is out of sight and out of mind. However, although Zhao Gao was only a small Wei commander to pacify, but with the emperor's trust, Sun Chuanting still allocated him three thousand households, and let him "act cheaply" on the flank, so he didn't care about him anymore.
Zhao Gao also learned about the military situation against Li Zicheng at this time in the camp: after Li Zicheng defeated the original trilateral governor Wang Qiao, he resumed the siege of Kaifeng. Sun Chuanting went to Shaanxi to succeed Wang Qiaonian as the governor of the three sides, and the prime minister of all military affairs against the enemy.
At this time, Sun Chuanting had three strong armies in his hands: first, Shaanxi soldiers; the second is the Huguang soldiers; The third is Baoding soldiers. The governor of Shaanxi Bing is Sun Chuanting himself, the governor of Huguangbing is Hou Sui, a C-level historical figure, and the governor of Baoding Bing is Yang Wenyue, a C-level historical figure, all three of whom are civilian officials. In addition, the commander of the Shaanxi soldiers is the D-level historical figure Gao Jie, the main commander of the Huguang soldiers is the B-level historical figure Zuo Liangyu, and the main commander of the Baoding soldiers is the D-level historical figure Hu Dawei, all three of whom are military generals. In addition, Sun Chuanting also had Kong Zhenhui's Sichuan soldiers, Liu Qingze's Shandong soldiers, Zhu Dadian's Nanjing soldiers and other local guards, all under his control, the total number of people has exceeded 100,000, no wonder people can be generous to give Zhao Gao a partial army, whatever he does.
Since it is the Gongwei wing, Zhao Gao simply gave his army the title of "wing army", and now he has three thousand households, each thousand households are full of 1,000 people, but in fact, the most one is only 600 people, and the remaining two are only more than 500 people, and the rest of the part is eaten empty salary, the military system of the Ming Dynasty, the sergeants of the guard are all from military households, and a group of old and young people need to be fed at home, and it is natural to eat some empty salary.
Among the more than 1,700 sergeants, there are many old and weak, and there are more than 1,000 people who can go into battle to participate in the war, and the ordnance and equipment are already very old, this is not that Sun Chuanting gave him small shoes, in fact, the current strong army of the Ming Dynasty is only the one in Sun Chuanting's hand, and the rest of the guards are generally similar to those of Zhao Gao, although the current Ming Empire still looks like a behemoth, but it is already full of holes, and every place is bleeding outside.
In terms of provisions, before Zhao Gao took office, this "wing army" had only paid 30% of the salary for more than a year, and every time it was said that when the country was in danger, all the military and the people should share weal and woe, and the military salary would be made up later, but no one believed this for a long time. The soldiers at the bottom don't care what loyalty and patriotism they have, no matter how much they eat and drink, they still have to scold their mothers. At this time, even the normal exercises have stopped, and I am hungry and can't eat, so how can I have the strength to lift the burning stick? This is the old soldier oil, and it is also the original words of one of the thousand presidents.
However, the three thousand generals still paid tribute to Zhao Gao for three hundred taels of silver, which is a common practice in the army, at least half of the empty salary must be owned by the chief official, and Zhao Gao is a civil official, the military attache of the Ming Dynasty was born to bow his head when he saw a civil official, and I heard that this is also quite favored by the emperor, and even Sun Dashuai also needs to give some face, but no one dares to embarrass Zhao Gao.
This group of people can't even fight with the wind, as soon as they go to the battlefield, some people smear oil on the soles of their feet, and then everyone runs together, although the attributes are not bad, but it is estimated that even the farmers who have just picked up the hoe can't beat it.
Nine hundred taels of silver, five taels per ingot, a total of one hundred is eighty ingots, Zhao Gao put him on the school field, and summoned Meng Yi with summoning techniques, I don't know how the ark space confuses these characters, but no one doubts that Zhao Gao summoned a big living person out of thin air.
Meng Yi stood in the middle of the school field, Meng Dashuai said (Zhao Gao himself), as long as he can catch Meng Yi ten moves, he can take a ingot from the pile of silver, as soon as the news came out, there was a soldier who stepped forward, but unfortunately Meng Yi was a member of the guard of the epic historical figure Ren Guang, when Zhao Gao left the Eastern Han Dynasty plot world, Meng Yi's strength and agility had exceeded 20, and if he wanted to catch him with ten moves, he had to have attributes of more than fifteen.
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and in ten days, Zhao Gao finally had an army of 180 that could be used to train and participate in the war.
