Chapter 245 Dispatch to the Border Army, Battalion No. 186
"Grandpa!" Leng Zhuo was staring out the window in a daze, Leng Invincible came closer, Leng Zhuo realized it and hurriedly got up.
Leng Wushu waved his hand and said, "Sit down, are you feeling a little puzzled by Grandpa's sudden decision!"
Leng Zhuo looked at Leng Invincible and nodded, to be honest, Leng Zhuo never thought of being a soldier at all, even if it was an officer, he was not the material that led the troops to fight at all, as if he did not have a strong desire for martial arts, as a traverser, his biggest advantage was the knowledge from another world.
And that's exactly what he is doing now, using the cognition from that world, Leng Zhuo single-handedly created the rise of the Weeping Blood Valley, and made the Leng family no longer obscure, in the near future, the Leng family will become one of the top forces in Chuzhou, and he can live a life of drunkenness, dreams and death, spending all day and drinking, this is his biggest dream before he crossed.
Although after the crossing, when wealth became within reach, especially in the existence of a hundred generals, Leng Zhuo had inflated his ambition to think about drunken beauty kneeling and waking up the road of the emperor who held the power of the world, this is what a man should do, and it is also an extraordinary journey to the other world for an ordinary traveler, but reality and dreams are not the same thing.
All this is still Leng Zhuo's wishful thinking, the empire is still strong, the orthodoxy of the Tianlong Empire's five hundred years of foundation is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, unless it suffers a great change, otherwise this empire will continue to exist, rebel, maybe Leng Zhuo will raise the banner, and the next moment, the Leng family will be wiped out.
And so far, what Leng Zhuo has done is just to keep the Leng family from falling into the middle of the road, to make himself richer better, to recruit soldiers and horses, to strengthen himself, but also to keep himself from being bullied, and to deal with the enemy's open guns and hidden arrows.
With his current status, it doesn't seem necessary to be a soldier, because if he wants to experience a military career, he can do it in his own territory, and three thousand private soldiers can even be more, how he wants to play, as for whether he has to be a soldier here.
Leng Wushu sighed lightly and said: "The Leng family can produce such a genius as you, the old man should be content, but people's wishes are always endless, when you are down, you want to be rich, when you are rich, you want to be powerful, and if you have power, you want to get more!"
"You are the only concern of the old man in this world, you have done what you have said, the prosperity of the Leng family is inevitable, no one can stop you, you married Zhilan as your wife, and you have Chanyue, the wind spirit is beside you, no one can ignore the existence of our Leng family, and you are the youngest earl in the empire, in a few years, you will be the largest wealth owner in Chuzhou, at this point, you will complete the road that others can only complete in several generations at the age of twenty, and after that!"
"In the past two days, I have been chatting with Old Man Wei about family affairs, I told Old Man Wei everything, do you know what Old Man Wei said to me, it is not a fortunate thing that the young man is ambitious, there is no goal to pursue in his twenties, what will be the meaning of your life, do you have to spend it in the gentle countryside every day!"
"You should experience more, experience more, have more goals to chase!
Well, Leng Zhuo listened to Leng Invincible's words, but it was like being drunk by someone, and he suddenly sobered up.
It seems that he has almost forgotten the kind of ambition and pride when he crossed at the beginning, at that time, he could work hard to get the power of self-preservation, in order to make his hands more comfortable, he even went to get a beauty magazine, provoking a group of wealthy daughters that this academy can't provoke.
But now, he seems to be thinking about toppling the white frost all day long, eating You Ji and Sophia's tofu, or finding Nangong Yuhu to secretly have a relationship, recruiting a famous general, but doing the same thing as the second ancestor, although he is still chasing money and power, but it is not as strong as before.
And when there is only a lot of money left, when there are hundreds of peerless generals under his command, no one dares to provoke, what should Leng Zhuo live for, women, build a big harem, and include everything that you like and like into the harem, and then what?
As high as he is, he has to have a higher goal!
Overthrowing the Heavenly Dragon Empire seems to be a bit unreliable, so what should his goal be? In this position, Leng Zhuo really can't think of what else his goal can be, maybe he should change his identity, go through a different experience, and then find a new goal.
"Grandpa, I think I understand, but the Praetorian Guard, the border army, which one should I choose, it is indeed a little difficult for me to decide!"
"If you don't inherit my title and are just a lord, I would suggest that you go to the Praetorian Guard, where you can get a quick promotion, but there are too many children of wealthy families in the Praetorian Guard, and you can't learn anything or experience anything with these people!"
"Grandpa wants me to go to the border army, I have also thought about the border army, the autonomy is relatively large, but most of the border army belongs to the second line, and in many ways it cannot be compared with the elite army of the empire, and even the supplies cannot be on time!"
"The border army is really very bitter, usually the people who go to the border army are criminals in the army, or those thorns who do not obey discipline, the conditions are really poor, but do you think I am letting you enjoy the blessings, you also know that the border army has great autonomy, but the duty department is just guarding the frontier and patrolling everywhere, so there is a lot of spare strength, anyway, the northern Xinjiang is 100,000 miles long, you can rob, grab, smuggle, as long as you can think of it, you can do it, anyway, it is not the territory of the empire, even if you pierce the sky, no one will blame you, it can be said that the border army is the most experienced people!”
In other words, the old man did a lot of this back then, otherwise when he talked about it, he would have a proud look on his face.
However, Leng Zhuo was also a little enthusiastic by the old man, lawless, no one can take care of it, everyone has a tyrannical factor in their body, the ** of destruction, in the fiefdom, Leng Zhuo deliberately develops and builds, but when he goes to the northern Xinjiang, he can destroy, and he can destroy without any scruples, and there is no need to worry about it at all.
"Then choose the Frontier Army!"
The center of the empire, Longchi Pavilion, here is the office of the six ministers of the imperial cabinet, at this moment, the six ministers, plus the five ministers, the three kingdoms are sitting together, since the last time the imperial emperor Situ Tuo fainted, the number of court meetings has become less and less, and the old emperor seems to know that his time is short, and he has begun to prepare for the transition.
Before the new emperor ascended the throne, the cabinet would be in charge of foreign affairs, and the internal supervisor would be responsible for supervision, and the three major princes would hold military power and check and balance each other, so as not to shake the foundation of the empire when the power was handed over.
"This is a reward for the meritorious person proposed by the ministry, everyone has the right to discuss, and after the conclusion is reached, it will be submitted to His Majesty for preview!"
The excerpt turned around in everyone's hands, but no one took the lead in speaking, most of the people in this fold were promoted, and everyone knew the merits, and they were all irrelevant, the only thing that paid attention to was Leng Zhuo's reward, which was the most headache and embarrassment for them.
Not to mention that the main owner of the anti-king's lair is this one, the rest of the officials are just pulled up and stained, and the great merit must be his, and even His Majesty, who has rarely asked about political affairs recently, has personally inquired, they naturally can't be lazy, the sick tiger is the most terrible, and finally there is another point, that is, this kid will soon become the grandson-in-law of Wei Guogong, and the face of the Wei family should also be taken into account.
If the head of the Leng family is still cold, then it will be easy to do, what is sealed, what reward, official position and the like are easy to do, after all, Leng Invincible's experience is there, this is something that everyone agrees with, but the problem is that the current head of the Leng family is a milky boy, an eighteen-year-old earl!
How to reward, the reward is big, an eighteen-year-old boy is higher than their titles, jealous of that certainty, who would be willing to be ridden on the head by a kid, the reward is small, it seems that he doesn't pay enough attention to things, after all, this is a matter of anti-king, it is a first-class major event in the empire!
"Why don't you have any opinions? Then submit it like this! Everyone wants to sign it. Wen Xiaoren, the minister in charge of presiding over this meeting, frowned slightly, but smiled bitterly in his heart, these old ghosts.
"I have something to say!" A person suddenly broke the silence, Wen Xiaoren turned his head to look, but it was Wang Shouyi, the contemporary head of the Wang family of the four wealthy families, and also the minister of the imperial Ministry of Commerce,
"Oh, Lord Wang, and say!"
"This Leng Xiao Earl is only eighteen this year, and he has to make such a great contribution at a young age, he can be regarded as a genius of Tianzhong, he will be promoted to a first-order title and be awarded a second-class earl, I have no opinion, this heavenly merit should be so, and the reward in the back, I think it should be added, after all, killing a heavenly spirit master under the command of the anti-king, this merit alone is enough to deserve it!"
"En!" everyone nodded, but they were all looking forward to Wang Shouyi's next words, because that was the main topic.
"But is it too child's fun to directly grant the command of the commander of the forbidden army battalion, although our little earl is extremely talented, but he left the Holy Heaven Academy halfway, and now he has been removed, and now he is just a psychic apprentice, and it is really inappropriate to be the commander of a battalion as a psychic apprentice!"
Wang Shouyi has never seen Leng Zhuo, but he has no good impression of Leng Zhuo, although he became the head of the family thanks to Leng Invincible, but the Leng family is too deeply entangled with the Wang family, especially his sister was depressed because of the Leng family, and finally died of depression, and before, the Leng family kid dared to tease his baby girl, every time he heard the little daughter say Leng Zhuo's name in his ear, he would be angry, this is simply a bad fate.
Everyone glanced at Wang Shouyi, but they didn't speak, and Wen Xiaoren was just about to speak, but Wei Guang, who was sitting at the top, nodded, and said: "What Lord Wang said is good, although this kid has made great achievements, he is still far from being the commander of a battalion of the elite forbidden army! The forbidden army is the most elite warrior in the empire, even if he is an exception to be a battalion-level commander, he must have the strength of a top psychic master, and he can't break the rules for one person." ”
Everyone looked sideways, what was wrong with Wei Guogong, he actually spoke against his grandson-in-law as the commander of the battalion, could it be that there were other arrangements, but Wei Guang continued: "I don't think it's as good as this, he doesn't have this qualification for the elite forbidden army of the empire, it's better to send him to the border army as the commander of a battalion captain, he is still young, he needs to be honed more, and the jade can't be sharpened!"
"This!" Wen Xiaoren was a little difficult to understand Wei Guang's words, although the battalion commander of the Praetorian Guard and the battalion commander of the border army were at the same level in the rank of military generals, but the gap between the same level was very different.
The Praetorian Guard has to be commanded by a battalion lieutenant, a battalion of soldiers and horses is 800 people, with 300 cavalry, 500 infantry, the equipment is the most sophisticated in the empire, the food and salary are also the most abundant, the station, the supporting training facilities, are all top-notch, and the border army is commanded by a battalion lieutenant, but there is no quota of soldiers and horses under his command, as little as more than 100 people, more than 3 or 400 people, the cavalry and infantry are not fixed, the equipment is second-hand goods used by the elite army, and the food and salary will be interrupted every three or five times, which depends on the mood of the rear baggage, and the border army is at the forefront of the imperial frontier, which is the most dangerous place。
The gap is all-round, as for the so-called autonomy, it's just because no one wants it, and no one wants to take care of it, it's just a gathering place for garbage, a penal colony for thorns, and even a distribution place for criminals.
What information does this represent, everyone speculated in their hearts, but this proposal was passed, Wei Guogong proposed it like this, who else will have an opinion, not to mention that everyone is happy to see this disposition.
A few days later, Leng Zhuo was called to the Weiguo Mansion again, and the reward had already come down: "This is your battalion number, token and letter of appointment, with these, you can take office!"
"Leng Zhuo is now appointed as the commander of the 186th Battalion of the Border Army, and he can receive the 186th Battalion with a token, and he will be in office for a period of three months, and he will sign: 556 years of the Imperial Calendar, April 2, the Imperial Military Department Order!"
However, where is the eighty-sixth battalion, Leng Zhuo is confused.
"Grandpa Wei, where is this eighty-sixth battalion!" Leng Zhuo raised his head and asked.
Wei Guang coughed and said, "This, I don't know, but it should be in the north of Yunzhou Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, and when you turn around, you go to the Yuntian Fortress in the north, go there and inquire!"
Leng Zhuo was speechless for a while, saying that there is no need to hit people so hard, this is an experience, or a distribution.
"That, how many soldiers are there in this eighty-sixth battalion, this should always know!"
"Well, according to the latest records of the Ministry of War, it seems that there are still one hundred and twenty-one people, but Zhuo'er, you don't have to look so bad, this is for you to go to the training, naturally different from others, you can take a hundred private soldiers to take office, as for the materials, I asked the Ministry of War to write a note, you can go to Yuntian Fortress to get it then!"
What else can Leng Zhuo say, everything he says is tears, he knew that the conditions were poor, but it wasn't so outrageous.
There are only about a hundred battalions left, which is not enough for a brigade, and a battalion of the Praetorian Guard is 800 members, even if it is a local legion, there are 500, which is too damn too bad.
