Chapter 19: The Horror of the Nineteenth Corpse
Since the Nishiki system is hereditary, there is no need to worry about the shortage of manpower. It was not until after the "Battle of Tumubao" of Ming Yingzong that the Jinyi Guard appeared in the phenomenon of green and yellow. For this reason, Jinyiwei has thought of a lot of countermeasures, the first is to expand the internal personnel inheritance system of Jinyiwei. Originally, it was stipulated that only one of the descendants of Jinyiwei could be hereditary, and the others could only be helpers. Changed to a hereditary, others started with Lux and gradually upgraded. For example, if a Jinyiwei has three sons, it turns out that there is only one son who can be the Jinyiwei, and the other two sons are at most temporary workers at the idle level. Now it has been changed to one son hereditary father, and the other two sons have started as wrestlers if they are voluntary. As long as they are excellent and loyal, it is possible to escalate and their sons can be hereditary. In this way, it will not take ten years to nearly double the number of novices. Second, recruit temporary workers, also known as helpers. This one is mainly aimed at local gangsters, giving them a semi-public identity to help Jinyiwei control the situation. This is no way, Jinyiwei is short of manpower, and the newcomers can't control the situation, so they have to let these local forces help control the situation. However, in order to curb the expansion of their power, they can only be given temporary labor treatment. Once they are found to have moved, they will be directly dissolved and resolutely eliminated.
The third option is foreign aid. Gather some capable talents in the people, and join Jinyiwei if they are voluntary. From then on, they were a member of the Jinyiwei, and they would be treated the same as other Jinyiwei in the future, and their descendants would also be Jinyiwei. Just like Qin Tai, everyone wants to develop him into Jinyiwei, and when the time comes, Qin Tai's son will be the future Jinyiwei, and their descendants will always be Jinyiwei.
Originally, Jinyiwei, like other military households, implemented a completely hereditary system. What does that mean? That is, what is the position of the father, and what is the position and treatment of the son when he is hereditary. In this way, a question arises, if the father is a general, the son will be a general as soon as he comes up? Will this new general fight? Can you bring soldiers? There were a lot of such things in the military camps of the Ming Dynasty, and some incompetent generals almost wiped out a good army. In view of this problem, Jinyiwei reported to the emperor at that time for approval, and decided that Jinyiwei should be treated differently from ordinary military camps. The children of Jinyiwei can inherit the military status of their fathers, but they need to start from the original wrestlers. If you have the ability, you will improve, and if you don't have the ability, you must learn and hone. It's just that the more advanced the Jinyi Wei disciples, the faster they can improve because of their good relationship, they are obviously faster than others.
Chen Mu's father turned out to be a hundred households, and a hundred households of Jinyiwei were already very remarkable. After Chen Mu was hereditary, he was still a small flag for ten years. It's not because Chen Mu's skills are not good, but because there are too many people in Jinyiwei. There have been almost no battles over the years, there are only a lot of people in Jinyiwei, and it is difficult to do business outside, so the descendants of Jinyiwei want to be Jinyiwei. Not only is it majestic, but you can also eat and drink for nothing, and sometimes you can make a fortune after a raid. Everyone wants to enter Jinyiwei, and there are more people in Jinyiwei. It is hereditary again, there are also descendants of Jinyiwei to make up, and there are some capable people who want to come in, and even some helpers with land and power want to turn positive. As a result, it has become quite difficult to upgrade inside the Jinyi Guard, and if there is no one to help it, it is basically impossible. Although Chen Mu's family has several relatives who are Jinyi and Guards, they are too busy to take care of themselves and have no time and energy to cultivate Chen Mu.
Chen Mu doesn't want to live like this for the rest of his life, he wants to get ahead, he wants to be a hundred households or even a thousand households of Jinyiwei. For this reason, he asked someone to find a judge, and the so-called judge was the civil official of Jinyiwei. Their level is not very high, at most a hundred households, and even the deputy thousand household level is very few. However, because they are close associates of adults and are scholars, everyone respects them very much. A judge suggested that Chen Mu might as well go to the front line as an officer of Jinyiwei and participate in the battle on behalf of Jinyiwei. As long as Chen Mu is not afraid of death and has a chance to win the enemy, he has military merits that can be improved. The judge reminded Chen Mu that military merit is very easy to get on the battlefield, and some people are promoted quite quickly as long as they are lucky. It's just that the risks and opportunities are equal, and there are also those who can die on the battlefield. Chen Mu, who had forgotten life and death for the sake of wealth and wealth, directly asked to go to the front line, and he wanted to go to the most sinister place. Soon after, the order came down, and Chen Mu went to the front line on behalf of Jinyiwei as the general banner of Jinyiwei and served as the captain of an army.
After Chen Mu came to the front line, he led his men to kill the enemy desperately, and soon became a guerrilla general. The so-called guerrilla general is a temporary wartime commander's title, which is equivalent to a deputy thousand households of an army, and can be regarded as a middle-level officer. It's just that the Jinyi guards are different from ordinary armies, their ranks are different from localities, and guerrilla generals are only temporary. The officials of Jinyiwei on the front line promised Chen Mu and promoted Chen Mu to the rank of Jinyiwei to test 100 households. Although he was only promoted by one and a half levels, Chen Mu was still very happy. If you are in the capital, it will take at least ten or twenty years to be possible. Unexpectedly, in just half a year, he realized part of his ideals. He decided to work harder, and strive to become a brocade guard at the end of the battle, and then he would be majestic when he returned.
But what happened next caught Chen Mu a little off guard, and Chen Mu's desire to make meritorious service seemed to be a little difficult. It may be because the local army is not used to Jinyiwei's meritorious service, or it is possible that someone above wants to suppress Chen Mu, who was born in Jinyiwei, anyway, no matter what the reason, Chen Mu was transferred to the rear. Chen Mu served as a grain officer, responsible for transporting strategic materials to the front. This kind of work is not only hard but also an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and Chen Mu also knows that he has been abandoned by the top. So Chen Mu began to give up on himself a little, and began to drink and beat people, which made the local soldiers who were already dissatisfied with Jinyiwei even more uncooperative with Chen Mu.
Just when Chen Mu began to lose heart, a businessman took the initiative to find Chen Mu. This merchant was a grain merchant and said that he wanted to talk to Chen Mu about some grain deals. Chen Mu was originally reluctant to talk to this kind of person, but he couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the businessman so he had to agree. This businessman is not only eloquent but also very generous, not only often inviting Chen Mu to drink but also giving women to Chen Mu. Chen Mu is also almost thirty years old, and he did not marry another woman because his family's economy was not good. After his wife died in childbirth three years ago, he hadn't touched a woman in a long time. Under the influence of the wine, Chen Mu agreed to some requests from the businessman in a daze and embarked on a road of no return. The businessmen took the opportunity to buy Chen Mu's military rations at a low price and sell them at a high price, and then purchased secondary rice or substitute rice through secret channels, and then sold it to Chen Mu at the price of first-class rice. That is to say, when Chen Mu didn't earn a penny, the good rice in his hand became secondary rice or even inedible fake rice. This is not only embezzlement, but also a delay in the warplane, which is a serious crime that will be immediately killed. However, Chen Mu was not alert at all under the confusion of the wine, and thought that the merchant was just borrowing. After the grain was returned, it was signed without looking closely.
Soon after, the merchant disappeared, and before Chen Mu could come to his senses, he was captured by the army. Facing a large pile of fake rice and secondary rice, Chen Mu finally understood the truth of the matter. Since Chen Mu was not an ordinary officer, even the generals of the army did not dare to execute Chen Mu without authorization. Chen Mu was sent by the military to the contact point of the Jinyi Guard stationed on the front line. Chen Mu has changed from a hero to a laughing stock of Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei's people also have the heart to kill Chen Mu. It's just that Jin Yiwei should pay attention to his image outside and maintain his face, so his superiors asked Chen Mu to find out the truth by himself.
Chen Mu left alone, and Jinyiwei's people were not afraid of him escaping, because being a traitor to Jinyiwei was worse than death, and Chen Mu didn't dare to really betray Jinyiwei. A few days later, Chen Mu returned, he killed the woman who had been obedient to him, captured the merchant and returned to the contact point. The businessman confessed the truth under the interrogation of Jin Yiwei, and Chen Mu's affairs were basically clarified. It's just that everyone didn't expect that this businessman was not only a mercenary villain, but also a commercial spy who colluded with the enemy. In this way, Chen Mu was not only corrupt and delayed the fighter plane, but also suspected of collaborating with the enemy. This is a big thing that Jin Yiwei doesn't dare to cover up in private, and it seems that Chen Mu is in trouble this time.
Chen Mu is worthy of being a man who dares to act, and he implemented the family law of Jinyiwei in front of everyone. Because Chen Mu's family has been Jinyi for seven generations, Chen Mu can have a chance to avoid death. It's just that in this way, the honor of the family is gone, his future is gone, and intelligence cannot be exempted from capital crimes. Chen Mu personally got it and cut off the little finger of his left hand, and set off himself with the family rules of Jinyiwei. Since then, Chen Mu is no longer a child of Jinyiwei for generations, and he is not a test hundred households of Jinyiwei, but a sinner of Jinyiwei. According to the rules, Chen Mu had to use the heads of fifty enemies to eliminate his influence on Jinyiwei, otherwise Chen Mu would commit suicide and apologize.
Chen Mu left the barracks alone, and soon after, he infiltrated a Japanese cottage and finally took three full months to finally control the situation. When he returned with fifty-seven left ears, everyone was dumbfounded. In view of his outstanding performance, the Jinyi guard and the military agreed to exempt him from punishment. Jin Yiwei gave Chen Mu a place to help the idle, and Chen Mu said that he would rely on himself to regain his honor and status.
