Chapter 917: Returning Home
Shaanxi, at the gate of Mizhi County, a few idle men sat at the gate of the city while basking in the sun while bragging, in the past they boasted nothing more than how rich the Ai Ju family, and saw Ai Ju people participating in the banquet of the county master; But now, the protagonist they boasted about has been replaced by another big man in Mizhi County.

"This Huang Lai'er is really good, I heard a passing merchant say that he was summoned by the Lord of Long Live in Beijing, and he also rewarded the official, I didn't expect that a poor post man back then would have today." An idler said enviously, Huang Lai'er is Li Zicheng's life, Li Zicheng was born, his father dreamed of a man in yellow entering the kiln, so he took such a name.
"And that Li Guo, back then he and I were still partners who played with a bare ass, but now if we see someone again, I'm afraid I will have to kneel on the ground and kowtow to others, and call someone a general." Not long ago, a bunch of businessmen from the capital said that they were in Beijing to watch the grand occasion of the noon gate sacrifice of prisoners in Beijing, and now Li Zicheng and Li Guo's uncle and nephew, who have already made a name for themselves in the army, have also reached the ears of the people of Mizhi.
"Hey, we still don't have that life, don't say anything else, if Huang Lai'er was cleaned up by Ai Juren, let's give a message to Tongfeng, and he will read our good now, as long as it leaks a little from the gap between his fingers, it will be enough for us to eat for a lifetime." Think about others, and then look at yourself, these people can only comfort themselves with fate.
"Huh? Someone came over. At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and it sounded like there was more than one horse, and these people immediately looked in the direction from which the sound came, what was the matter? If you can see a little way, tonight's braggadocio will have a foundation, and maybe you can mix a glass or two of wine to drink.
But seeing a group of about 100 soldiers in front of him, escorting a dozen or so officers, slowly marching towards the gate of Mizhi City, this group of soldiers with bright armor and full of energy, compared to those miscellaneous soldiers in the county town, but I don't know how many times stronger.
"What the hell is this military master? It's so majestic? Several idlers watched as the team approached, but unfortunately they were illiterate, otherwise they might be able to see their identities from the big flag in the team.
"Uncle, when my nephew left home with you, I didn't expect to come back in such a beautiful way." Li Guo looked at the familiar Mizhi City and said to Li Zicheng.
"Why am I not? It's a pity that this time I can only stay at home for a few days, and it is estimated that I won't even have time to repair the ancestral tomb. After Li Zicheng and Li Guo returned to Beijing, they verified that their merits were promoted several levels one after another, and now they were arranged to Ningxia Town and Guyuan Town to train the local army, of which Li Zicheng was responsible for the soldier training in Ningxia Town, and Li Guo was assigned to Cao Bianjiao's subordinates and would follow him to Guyuan Town.
Fortunately, Li You knew that this trip would not be possible without a year or two of effort, so he gave these generals some time so that they could go home and have a look, so Li Zicheng and Li Guo had the opportunity to return to their hometowns this time; It would be nice if he was in charge of the soldier training in Yansui Town this time, so that he could go home from time to time, Yansui Town is not far from here, and it won't take long to go to Mizhi.
But Li You took this problem into account, so he did not arrange Li Zicheng here, and changing places to serve as an officer will become an iron law of the Ming army in the future, so Li Zicheng's wish was disappointed.
The ragged defenders at the head of the city saw this scene and immediately went to report to the county official, so when Li Zicheng and Li came to the city gate, the county official had already waited here with the officials of the county government, and the county official quickly recognized the rank and position from Li Zicheng's official uniform, and hurriedly saluted, "The lower official Mizhi County ordered Sun Shenwu to meet the chief soldier." ”
In the past, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty would not be so polite when they met the generals, but since the new emperor ascended the throne, the status of the generals has been greatly improved, so he has this gift.
Li Zicheng did not rely on his identity to despise the county order, but turned over and dismounted to greet them, "This general's return to his hometown this time is a private matter, not an official business, I dare not delay my parents' officials, Zhu Wei should please go back." "Shaanxi is one of the provinces that Li You took the lead in governing, and the requirements for local officials are extremely strict, so the county commander quickly understood what Li Zicheng meant, and went back with his men, as for what kind of arrangement it will be.
Li Zicheng returned to his hometown Lijia Station, which once again caused a sensation in the whole village, they did not expect that Li Zicheng had become such a big official since he fled and left Mizhi County for only a few years, so those guys who were close to his family came to visit, trying to get some benefits for themselves from Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng kept in mind the teachings of the military judge, and did not dare to use his power for personal gain, but he had been wandering outside for a long time, and his vision was no longer comparable to these villagers.
But there are still some people who still look at Li Zicheng's official position with the old eyes of the past, thinking that it is not a problem for him to promote one or two Qin Juan as a big official, they are bent on following Li Zicheng to eat and drink spicy food, how can they suffer like this? So he begged hard to follow Li Zicheng as a personal soldier, and kept saying things such as they are all children of the Li family and will definitely do their best to serve Lord Li, which made Li Zicheng so annoyed that he simply shortened his stay at home and rushed to Ningxia Town in advance.
"As far as their temperament is concerned, when they go to the army, they also command that my relatives are greedy for military salaries and oppress soldiers, and people like this may only have a dead end when they meet military judges, maybe I will also have to accept their burdens, when I heard Lu Shuai talk about the separation of recruiting, training and leading soldiers in the new army, I was still quite puzzled, and now I think about it, I am afraid that it is to put an end to this kind of thing." Li Zicheng said to Li Guo with emotion.
"What my uncle said is that if you encounter such a person in the army, I am afraid that the morale of the soldiers will be hit in the eyes." Li Guo also despised these people, they all thought that they had followed Li Zicheng to get into the egg status, and they all wanted to be a second self, but they didn't know how much they suffered in training, how many risks they encountered on the battlefield, and their fame was really fought with real knives and guns, so cheap.
"After arriving in the northwest, there must be such people in the border towns there, you have to be careful." Li Zicheng said solemnly.
