One hundred and ninety-sixth chapter Qi Qing won the official
When Lei Ying followed the guards into the lobby, he felt a little bored. Lei Ying was already in his early forties. His family came from a family of habitual gangsters. In Lei Ying's generation, he also had a certain influence in the mountainous area in the northern part of Runing Mansion and had accumulated a lot of power.
acquired a certain amount of wealth.
When Lei Ying confessed his sincerity to Wu Shigong the year before last, he actually made two preparations. It would be good if he could be recruited into the army, but it would also be good to take a step back and become a rich man. But Lei Ying did not expect that Wu Shigong
Although they accepted him, they still allowed him to maintain his status as a bandit.
But in the following days, with the support of Wu Shigong, Lei Ying suddenly became the bandit boss in the northern mountainous area of Runing Prefecture. Although there was Wu Shigong as the Supreme Emperor above Lei Ying, among the bandits, Lei Ying was indeed
I enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by stars. This was quite satisfying for Thunder Eagle at that time. In addition, Thunder Eagle could still get a share of the salt business, so Thunder Eagle at that time felt
He simply gained both fame and fortune.
But the good times didn't last long. When Wu Shigong led his army to King Qin, Lei Ying's biggest rival in his life, Li Yaozi, returned to the mountainous area in the northern part of Runing Mansion. Later, in the battle with Li Yaozi, Lei Ying suddenly lost a lot of money.
Some of his subordinates, as well as the bandit gangs that were originally attached to Thunder Eagle, also changed their flags and joined Li Yaozi's camp.
But now, Lei Ying is surrounded by all his enemies and can only manage to gather more than 300 bandits who can fight. And Lei Ying has lost the support of Qianhusuo Fortress. If it weren't for Qian Qi's place, there is still a great threat to Li Yaozi.
If it was impossible for Li Yaozi to completely let go of his hands and feet, Thunder Eagle might have been driven out of the mountainous area in the northern part of Runing Prefecture.
After learning that Wu Shigong had returned with King Qin's army, and that after Wu Shigong came back, he went on a killing spree against the bandits in Guide Mansion, and the methods were extremely vicious, Lei Ying felt happy and a little scared at the same time.
A few days ago, Wu Shigong sent people to call Lei Ying and his main leaders to Qianhusuo Fortress. Lei Ying did not dare to neglect, and immediately brought some gifts from the village to the Qianhusuo Fortress to ask for an audience with Wu Shigong.
Lei Ying knew that Wu Shigong had no ill intentions in calling him here. However, Lei Ying had no idea how Wu Shigong would arrange for him. Lei Ying estimated that he needed people but no one, and even if he wanted power, he had no power.
Well, the most likely possibility is that Wu Shigong annexed his subordinates and allowed himself to live idle.
But Thunder Eagle, who had tasted power, wanted to use his subordinates to exchange for better conditions when he first set out. But after he walked into the Qianhusuo Fortress, he saw those murderous soldiers.
, and thought of Wu Shigong's cruelty when he killed Li Yaozi's entire family, Lei Ying had completely given up resistance in his heart. He thought in his heart: "As long as Mr. Wu keeps all my private property, how will he arrange for me, then I will
I admit it."
After Lei Ying walked into the lobby, he saw the young Master Wu sitting in the middle. He immediately leaned over and kowtowed, saying, "I congratulate Master Wu on your promotion."
After Wu Shigong waited for Lei Ying to kowtow, he helped Lei Ying up and asked kindly: "How is your injury?"
"Thank you for your concern, sir. This little guy has only one life, so it won't be a big deal."
"That's good. This time, I was promoted to the garrison of Runing Mansion, and I am short of manpower to assist. This time, when I go north to King Qin, you are the only one who sticks to me and my family. Let's do this. All your subordinates will be incorporated into our army.
What about you? Just get the general position first."
Lei Ying was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Wu Shigong blankly. Lei Ying never thought that he would realize his dream of recruiting An and become an officer.
What was even more unexpected to Lei Ying was that Wu Shigong actually gave Lei Ying the official position of Commander-in-Chief. You know, although the official position of Commander-in-Chief was only a mid- to low-level military attaché among the Ming military attaches. But Lei Ying also knew that in the Ming Dynasty,
Among the military attachés under Wu Shigong, the general position was already a great one.
At least Lei Ying knew that Qian Qi was appointed to the general position this time. At that time, in the mountainous area in the northern part of Runing Prefecture, Lei Ying didn't have to ask Qian Qi for instructions on any matter, big or small? But now he actually
He can now be on an equal footing with Qian Qi.
Seeing Lei Ying's dazed look, the guard on the side coughed a few times to remind him. Lei Ying reacted immediately. He immediately knelt down again, kowtowed to Wu Shigong excitedly and said, "Thank you, little man. Little man.
Thank you, sir. I wish you a long life as a prince!" As he spoke, Lei Ying couldn't help but shed tears.
Wu Shigong signaled the guards on the side to help Lei Ying up, and said with a smile: "As long as someone is of the same mind as me, I will never treat him badly. But you also know that my army has strict military discipline, and the promotion of military attachés is also very fast.
There are rules. I will give you two options. One is to basically keep the same. But I don’t want to lie to you. Although this path is easier for you, you and your subordinates will basically have no hope of promotion in the future.
"
"The other way is that you, as my officer's personal soldier, go to the personal army to learn all the combat skills. Your subordinates will also be separated. Although this road is more difficult, as long as you have military merit in the future, then
There will be an opportunity to marry a cute wife. Think carefully about which path you want to choose."
After listening to Wu Shigong's words, Lei Ying knelt down again and said to Wu Shigong: "The master pointed out a golden road to the villain. If the villain doesn't appreciate it, is the villain still a human being? The villain is willing to be the master's personal soldier.
, I will go through fire and water for you."
When Lei Ying finished his interview with Wu Shigong and came out to tell the leaders he had brought about the news of his recruitment, those leaders also burst into laughter.
After Wu Shigong finished suppressing the bandits this time, he officially assigned official positions to his subordinates and gave them a chance to sue.
Xue Yongli will be the only Qianhu under Wu Shigong, and he will lead the cavalry. Zhou Xun will become the deputy Qianhu, leading the mobile infantry team. The other deputy Qianhu will be Xue Yong. He will become the fortress of Qianhu
The commander-in-chief. Moreover, all matters, big and small, within the Guide Mansion must be reported to him.
The reason why Xue Yong, Wu Shigong's oldest guard captain, is mentioned in this position is that in the near future, Qianhusuo Fortress will definitely be Wu Shigong's most important base.
In Guide Mansion, whether they are the militia or Yu Ji's military households, they are actually Wu Shigong's collateral troops. Wu Shigong needs to use the force of the Qianhu fortress to suppress them. Therefore, he chooses a Qianhu who is quite loyal to Wu Shigong.
The leadership of Husho Fortress is also very important.
There is no need to mention Yu Ji's military officers. Yu Ji and other military attaches already have the status of military attachés in the Gui De Guard. As for the leader of the militia, Wu Shigong selected an officer with a background as a gambling house guard - Cheng Yi. Commander-in-Chief
title.
Another thing to mention is that this time Wu Shigong promoted a deputy commander of the militia named Guo Yun to the general banner title. He is a native of Guide Prefecture. The reason for promoting him is besides Guo Yun's excellent performance in the military assessment.
, also because Guo Yun is the son of a local gentry. This was Wu Shigong's move to appease and win over the local gentry after killing three local gentry families.
The commander of Li Yaozi's village is still Qian Qi, with the title of commander-in-chief. The commander of the artillery team, Liang Hui, has the title of commander-in-chief. Yang Rusong, who performed outstandingly during the Qinwang battle this time, was promoted several levels and became Wu Shigong's personal guard commander.
Give the overall title.
Among the exceptions to the rule of promotion was Zug, who contributed hunting strategies in Luanzhou City. He was directly promoted to the position of captain of the centurion, with the title of commander-in-chief.
The remaining officers also received official official positions in the Ming Army one after another. When Wu Shigong announced the list of official positions, all the officers who had obtained the official positions were very happy. You know, although they were all Wu Shigong's officers in the past, but now
With the official confession, they finally became officials of the Ming Dynasty. Why didn't this make them overjoyed?
Next, the military attachés held a banquet to celebrate their promotion. The nearby gentry also came to congratulate them with gifts. If Wu Shigong hadn't been preparing to go to Runing Mansion, this banquet would have lasted for more than a month.
What about time.
Of course Wu Shigong also participated in several banquets hosted by senior military attachés, and I won’t go into detail about the scenes of those banquets. But something happened that made Wu Shigong a little funny. The gentry in many places have proposed that women from their clans should be sent to the banquet.
Marrying those military officers as wives and concubines actually led to several good marriages.
But Wu Shigong never thought that this wooing thing would happen to him again. During a banquet, Lu Yunhuan, who was attending the banquet, pulled Wu Shigong aside and claimed that he wanted to marry one of his nieces to Wu Shigong as his concubine.
Wu Shigong understood what Lu Yunhuan was thinking. This time, Yangzhou salt merchant Qijia did not raise the price of salt for Lu Yunhuan, but raised the price of his own salt. It is absolutely impossible that there is no trick on Lu Yunhuan's part. Lu Yunhuan was thinking
To make amends with him, even his previous proposal of marrying a girl from his clan has been raised to a higher level, and he has now married a niece of his.
However, although Lu Yunhuan did not openly target Wu Shigong, and there may be some unspeakable secrets in this matter, Wu Shigong always felt uncomfortable. And now it is absolutely impossible for Wu Shigong to accept a woman from the Lu family.
So Wu Shigong politely rejected Lu Yunhuan with a smile on his face. Wu Shigong thought to himself: "I am from a noble family of a marquis, and I am a woman from your Lu family, a wealthy family. I can come in if I want."
?”
Before packing up and preparing to move to Runing Mansion, Wu Shigong summoned Xue Zhinong alone. After the meeting, Wu Shigong praised Xue Zhinong for his good performance in inquiring about the bandits before the bandit suppression, and said to Xue Zhinong: "About the mountains and rivers
That’s what I think about Tang’s affairs. Either don’t do it, or do it well if you want to do it. I think that’s how Shanchuan Tang’s affairs should be done.”
