Under the protection of hundreds of Jinyi guards with guns and sticks, Zheng Jing's generals were assigned to each post station in Haidu City alone, in order to protect their safety, Beizhen Fusi has made a bloody investment, each general's residence is twenty fans guarding outside the door, seven or eight people are guarding the back door of the post station, Wu Jiangong, the guerrilla general of Zheng's sailors, even heard the sound of creaking tiles on the roof in the middle of the night.

The specifications of Zheng Jing, the king of Yanping, are even higher, he was invited into a palatial mansion, in order not to disturb the king of Yanping, the fan of the Fusi of Beizhen only guarded the front and back two doors, what makes Zheng Jing afraid is that there are a lot of servants in this house, there are a hundred mouths up and down, but seeing that they are all tigers and bears, their eyes are burning, and they are walking like flying, the king of Yanping ordered to drink a cup of tea to sober up, and several accompanying servants stared at the eyes and didn't know what to do, until a long time later, a servant was short of tea, Zheng Jing drank it and almost squirted out.

"Use half-cooked water to make tea, you can't even boil water, are you still called a servant?" Zheng Jing wanted to curse a few words, but he quickly swallowed it back. He found that these people had more or less scars on their bodies, either on their faces, or on their necks, and a few of them had broken fingers.

People were under the eaves, Zheng Jing really didn't dare to make a mistake, so he simply went back to the bedroom to rest.

On the other side, the high-spirited Liu Guoxuan rode a high-headed horse, under the escort of a group of people back to the camp of the Zheng army outside the city, because the Zheng army has newly arrived here, the imperial court has sent wine and meat to the army, the soldiers have been holding back at sea for twenty days, and now they are eating wine and meat, and they are chatting in groups close to the bonfire.

"Go, and invite all the garrisons of each battalion to the big battalion. Ben will have the grace of the imperial court here. Liu Guoxuan ordered the soldiers guarding the door, clamped the horse's belly, and walked in the direction of the camp.

The status of the garrison in the Ming Dynasty was second to that of the guerrilla generals, with no rank or fixed number, most of them were appointed by the generals themselves, and in the battalion, they were the right-hand men of the generals. He specializes in managing soldiers and has a high reputation in the eyes of the soldiers. The embarrassing thing is that when they leave the camp, they are nothing, because they are only temporary officials, so they do not belong to any military attache establishment, so they do not receive special care from the imperial court.

At this time, seven or eight garrison officers had arrived in the newly built camp, and it was already midnight. The garrison officers couldn't help but be a little worried when they saw that the generals of the battalions still hadn't returned, until now, their mood was better, and since General Liu had returned, he naturally brought back the news of the king of Yanping and the generals, and everyone sat down after the salute.

Subsequently, Liu Guoxuan entered the camp under the support of a group of personal soldiers. The guards stood up again and saluted Liu Guoxuan. Liu Guoxuan is nothing in the Zheng army, but he is the boss of these unranked military attachés.

"General Liu. What about the King of Yanping? It's so late at night, why are you the only one coming back? After everyone sat down again, a garrison officer couldn't wait to ask.

Liu Guoxuan's face was full of red light, and he said with wine in his mouth: "King Yanping and the generals drank in the imperial city, and the banquet given by the emperor himself is estimated to have fallen asleep now, they are all lords and officials, since they are here, do you still let them go out of the city and sleep with us old men?" ”

Liu Guoxuan made a pun. And the reason is explained. Secretly, he provoked the king of Yanping and the guerrillas and generals to be unwilling to share weal and woe with the soldiers.

The guards nodded their heads. The king of Yanping and the generals were drunk. How willing to come back to camp in the middle of the night. The reason for this is unassailable. A few big bosses put their minds at ease. He smirked his eyebrows.

Hey. They drank wine. I don't know if there will be a few little ladies to accompany the bed at night. Gee. It's better to be a general. It's like us who can't go to the sky. The garrison officer who does not touch the ground.

Liu Guoxuan coughed lightly. solemnly said: "King Yanping is in a hurry to rest. and feared that your brothers would not be accustomed to dwelling outside the city. Therefore, the Task Force will return to the camp to take care of it. Ladies and gentlemen. What is the situation in the camp? ”

One of the guards stood up and said, "Everything is well in the camp." ”

Liu Guoxuan lifted Erlang's legs. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. Yin Yang said strangely: "Not necessarily." In accordance with the military order of the Yanping Wangdi. In the middle of the night, it is necessary to send outposts, rear posts, and dark sentinels to patrol around. The rest of the soldiers had to put out the campfires and go back to their tents to rest. It's three o'clock now. Why didn't Ben see any sentry horses when he entered the camp? Why is there so much noise in the camp? ”

Liu Guoxuan's sudden turn of face made the garrisons look at each other, Zheng Chenggong is extremely strict in governing the army, and now Zheng Jing, the king of Yanping, is also extremely strict, this kind of thing is not big, it is not small to say that it is not small, and it is enough for these guys to drink a pot if they want to be investigated.

Everyone hurriedly pleaded guilty to Liu Guoxuan: "General Liu, the soldiers have made such a wine on the sea, and the imperial court has rewarded them with wine and meat, and occasionally indulged some, and I hope that General Liu will forgive his sins." ”

"Yes, yes, General Liu usually treats us the most leniently, and asks General Liu to forgive his sins, and the last general will never dare again."

"General Liu, there are no enemies here, it's not good to be too loud, didn't you see the people we welcomed when we landed? Besides, there is still a Ming army stationed nearby, there is absolutely no problem, the brothers have been hungry at sea for so long, and today they can be full of wine and food, all of which should be the kindness of General Liu, and the last generals must be remembered. ”

These garrisons belong to low-level officials, and Zheng Jing's surprise attack on Haidu is highly confidential, of course, there is no way to know, as soon as the ship docks, King Yanping conveniently sent the Zuomen into Haidu, and did not order strict vigilance or anything like that, it is human nature for the garrisons to relax their vigilance.

Liu Guoxuan's face softened a little: "This is also the order of the king of Yanping, let the general return to the camp is also to urge the brothers to be vigilant, hey, the king of Yanping is also yes, today is a happy day, everyone drank again, indulgence and indulgence is nothing, but the king of Yanping also said that if there is a slack defense tonight, you must give him your list, and he will punish them one by one, and this will be a last resort." ”

The garrisons panicked all of a sudden, and they all didn't know what to do, Zheng Jun's military law was strict, and if he wanted to punish the crime, he would at least twenty military sticks, and if he was beaten down. Don't even think about getting up from bed for half a month, these people are charging into battle, and deliberately arguing that the generals have to be guarded, most of them will be replaced, usually the garrison officers are from poor backgrounds, otherwise they would not have been in the army for so long to be a garrison officer who has no grade and only a little money, and the king of Yanping is like this, and the future of the brothers will be bleak.

Liu Guoxuan stood up suddenly. He shouted: "Come, get the land seals of the generals and the land documents of the household department." ”

Immediately, a few fans of brocade clothes and guards came in with a tray covered with red cloth, Liu Guoxuan opened a corner, took out a document stamped with the seal of the Ministry of War, and read: "Li Defu, the garrison of the Jinxia Navy Division, came forward. ”

A guard with a beard on his face was full of doubts, and stepped forward and said, "What does the general command?" ”

Liu Guoxuan patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Li Shoubei, no, it's Li Qianhu." The emperor sympathized with you in the army for more than ten years, no merit and hard work, and specially issued you a letter of appointment from the Thousand Households, from now on, you are the Thousand Households of the Oriental Naval Division, do a good job, this is the seal ribbon, this is the military department of the letter of appointment. From now on thou shalt be an upright officer, with a monthly salary of twenty taels of silver. ”

"Thousand... Thousands of households? Li Defu stammered and asked. In fact, the number of soldiers under the jurisdiction of the garrison is the same in the army, and the responsibilities are not different, the only difference is that the thousand households are officers recognized by the upright court, and the garrison is a temporary establishment in wartime.

The most important problem is that the thousand households of the guard are hereditary occupations, and Lao Tzu is a thousand households. The son took over the shift and was also a thousand households. In wartime, he was an officer, and in peacetime, he was a landlord in the military land. This is an iron rice bowl made of stainless steel, a good career that many big-headed soldiers dream of.

Li Defu took over the ribbon and the letter of appointment as if in a dream. His mouth was still trembling: "General, is this really given to me by the emperor?" Don't you want to lie to me? ”

Liu Guoxuan glanced at him and said, "What will Ben tell you to do?" Even if you don't believe the general's words, this letter of appointment written in black and white, as well as this ribbon, are not fake? ”

Li Defu believed it a little, and smiled: "I can't read, and it's in vain to see it, I also believe in the general, hehe, go back and hide these two treasures properly, this is my old Li family's job." ”

Just when the guards were dumbfounded, Li Defu picked up another letter of appointment, bowed his head and read: "Wu Dayong, the garrison officer of the Jinxia Water Division, came forward. ”

With Li Defu's previous experience, a short and sturdy garrison officer immediately stood up with his hands rubbed his hands excitedly, walked up to Liu Guoxuan step by step with a smile, his eyes tightly locked the letter of appointment in Liu Guoxuan's hand, and said, "What do you command?" Isn't it small, too? ”

Liu Guoxuan stuffed the seal ribbon and the letter of appointment into Wu Dayong's hand, and hammered him on the chest: "Take this thing aside, every brother has it, from now on, everyone is a serious officer, there are your job files in the military department, and your land is also distributed by the military department, and it is no longer a time for the generals to reward a few more when they are happy, and to give you a big soldier's salary when they are unhappy." ”

For a while, the garrison officers who were still frightened suddenly burst into smiles, and everyone went to receive their letters of appointment and the seals of thousands of households one by one, and then Liu Guoxuan clapped his hands and shouted at the camp gate: "Come on, go and bring in the reward." ”

A few more brocade guards came in, also holding trays and covering them with red lings, which caused the new thousands of households to stretch their necks, looking forward to it.

Liu Guoxuan said: "There are five hundred taels of silver here, which was specially rewarded by the emperor, when you first arrived here, although you have been awarded a military position, most of them have no money left, right?" Since I became an officer, some of the small mansions and furniture that should be there always had to be purchased, and those who don't have a wife hurry up to marry a girl to come in, but these are all for silver, in Haidu City, a house with one entry and one exit is sold for fifty taels of silver, and then decorate, at least ten taels of silver will be spent, where does the money come from? ”

Liu Guoxuan paused, and continued at the top of his voice: "You didn't think of this, right? But the emperor thought of it, there are eight of you here, and five hundred taels of silver is enough for you to buy a property in Haidu City, and from then on, you will take root in Haidu City, serve the emperor well, and live a good life. ”
