"All of us are united, and the mountains can be shaken. Only loyal and righteous, angry bullfighting......"

"The Lord will kiss me better than my parents. Committing military law violations, and not being free......"

"The order is clear, and the reward and punishment letter ......"

"Go to the water and fire, dare to stay late!"

"Report to the Son of Heaven and save the head of the Qian......"

"Kill all the slaves and find a marquis ......"

On the land of Hebei, a military song sung by Wu Yin spread around, and 4,000 men and horses held high the banner of the Ming Dynasty, singing and going north.

These small southern men, with smiles on their faces, sang in unison, attracting the attention of the people in the farmland on both sides of the road.

The armor of the southern soldiers on their bodies is very conspicuous in the north.

They marched carefully, took narrow roads, and when the distance was very close, the whole army walked like a line, and every five men were divided into two tiers with one in the middle, four in the front and four in the back, each going one step, and escorting the carts with heavy baggage in the middle of the procession.

If they came to a place where the road was wide and far away, the soldiers on each floor were arranged according to the order, and every front and rear went fifteen paces, and the carts that escorted the baggage and armor were placed on both sides of the perimeter, and the soldiers walked on the inside to prevent a surprise attack.

Such an army, military appearance, was particularly rare in the late Ming Dynasty, but it was a pity that the number was too small.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, arrows exploded in the air several miles ahead, and a sixty-year-old general in charge of leading the army immediately raised his hand, and a flag bearer on horseback hurriedly waved the big flag in his hand.

The flags were waving, and the troops who were still singing immediately booed, as silent as water.

Soon a small puff of dust was raised in front of him, and then a horseman on horseback reined in front of the sixty-year-old and said:

"General Qi! The palace in front sent someone to announce the long live dictation! ”

The wheezing sound of the war horse of "Sigh Law", but what made the sixty-year-old veteran known as General Qi even more excited was the matter of the person sent by the palace to announce the message.

"Come on, get off the horse, prepare the table!"

Although the veteran Qi was over sixty years old, he was full of energy, and after hearing this, the three middle-aged and young lieutenants behind him hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and asked someone to set up a case to greet the angel.

The same is true of Veteran Qi himself, after turning over and dismounting, he looked at his men and horses setting up a case, and watched as he rode more than a dozen horses on the edge of the sky, and gradually approached them.

Soon, they could see the appearance of the person who had come.

More than ten of them were dressed in crimson towing, the first two were dressed in hundred-household clothes, and one was dressed in the eunuch of the palace, and they were the people in the palace.

In the realm of the Ming Dynasty, no one dared to pretend to be Jinyi Guard, so after seeing them from afar, General Qi took three young lieutenants and knelt on one knee.

More than ten horsemen rushed to the road in front of the army accompanied by the Qi family's army scouting horses, and the brocade guards and eunuchs also dismounted.

After they saw that Senior General Qi had prepared everything, they did not hesitate, but directly took out the five-colored silk holy decree with a gold shaft from a box on the horse's back.

"Deputy Chief Soldier Qi Jin received the order...... the eunuch sang and shouted, and Qi Jin hurriedly led everyone to kowtow and shouted:

"Hooray, hooray, hooray......"

Seeing that Qi Jin's attitude was sincere, the eunuch also opened the holy decree with the gold scroll, and sang loudly:

"Fengtian carried the emperor and said: I have only ascended to the great treasure for the first time, and the Liao affairs are chaotic. And the military commander will be the pillar of the imperial court and the dry city of the country. ”

"Wu Song's deputy commander-in-chief, Qi Jin, is able to be both civil and military, and he can repay his achievements without pampering him?"

"Today's edict says: Qi Jin, deputy chief soldier of Er Wusong, who made meritorious contributions to the anti-Japanese war in the past, and now recruits troops to the north when he hears about the Liao incident, and his loyalty is visible."

"Zi Er was awarded the title of Liaoyang General Army, and he was promoted to General Congsanpin Dingyuan. Wang'er is diligent, powerful and powerful, and deeply admires the martial arts of Yuan Rong and proclaims Huaxia. ”

"September 30 of the first year of Taichang"

After the eunuch finished announcing the decree, he handed the holy decree to Qi Jin with both hands, and after Qi Jin took it, he also kowtowed again, held up the holy decree and sang:

"Relatives Jin, knock grace! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

After thanking the end, the generals of the Qi family army and Qi Jin got up together, but Qi Jin did not have a happy expression on his face, but was very heavy.

But the eunuch who made the decree did not forget to say:

"General Qi Bing, long live and let me bring you a message."

"Father-in-law, please speak." Qi Jin was very respectful to the eunuch, after all, he was a nephew who came with Qi Jiguang, so he naturally knew the way to be an official.

Seeing Qi Jin's sincerity, the eunuch also said with satisfaction:

"This time, Diao'er and others went to Liaoyang, which was facilitated by His Royal Highness the Fifth Dynasty."

"Those who were transferred together also included in Shizhu's Tusi soldiers, they are responsible for defending Shenyang, and there are many other things, our family doesn't know, and we need to tell the Fifth Highness personally."

"Long live Xuan'er and the others will go north, and they will go directly to the mausoleum area in Changping, where to help train the army of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and rest for a month by the way."

"A month later, Banzai will allocate 150,000 taels of silver from the internal funds, and the Zhejiang soldiers who go north will be paid 20 taels of silver per person per year."

"The other beheading reward is calculated according to fifty taels per person."

"One hundred and fifty thousand taels?!" Qi Jin sighed in his heart, he hadn't thought that he could get so much military salary with a battalion of men.

After all, when his uncle Qi Jiguang was guarding Jiliao in the world, he had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and his salary was only 520,000 taels.

520,000 taels, deducting the baggage logistics, the soldiers and soldiers are at most ten taels per person.

At present, because of the Fifth Highness who has never met, he has received a military salary of twenty taels of silver per person, which is really surprising.

Thinking so, Qi Jin untied a money bag from his belt, and vaguely handed it into the hands of the eunuch who passed the decree, and asked in a low voice:

"Father-in-law, these five highnesses, what do you like?"

"Preferences?" After weighing the silver in his hand, at least a few dozen taels of silver, the eunuch smiled and said with a smile what he knew:

"Long live the enthronement, it was promoted by the Fifth Highness, and at present, the four guards and one battalion of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, as well as the three guards of the Yulin of the twenty-six guards are all under the command of the Fifth Highness."

"The general is in a hurry, the news has not yet spread, this Beizhili is a pawn of the peddler, and he knows that now the Fifth Highness knows the soldiers, long live in the border armament, and attaches great importance to the opinions of the Fifth Highness."

"Zhibing ......" Hearing this, Qi Jin suddenly felt a headache.

In the Ming Dynasty, the prince who knew the soldiers was not a good prince, in case the five highnesses were not spoiled by today's long live, I am afraid that he Qi Jin would also be implicated.

But there is no way now, as a guest army, he has no one to help speak in the court, only this Fifth Highness can be their backer.

Thinking about it, Qi Jin could only give up his hand and say: "Thank you father-in-law for your teaching, the last general will lead the troops to the Changping Mausoleum District now." ”

"Hey, then our family won't bother the general, and we will go back to Beijing first to return to our lives." The eunuch nodded, only thinking that this errand was really easy to do.

From the capital to this place only more than 500 miles, he earned dozens of taels of silver, so he happily led people to the capital to ride their horses back, leaving only Qi Jin, who was standing in place and thinking, and the Zhejiang soldiers who knew that the military salary had risen and cheered.
