One thousand two hundred and forty-sixth chapter righteous people
Just when Yang Ke was gnashing his teeth and thinking of a solution, suddenly, a group of cavalry came galloping from outside Shenhe City.
The leading officer held a command talisman representing Captain Wang Yao, the top officer stationed outside Shenhe City, and said loudly: "According to the order of the Captain, in accordance with the emergency preparation order issued by His Majesty Yuande in the third year, Shenhe City will be
The city is closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the city until His Majesty’s edict is issued!”
"What's going on?" Many people panicked.
Yang Ke was also stunned.
This is great, why is it that the army suddenly wants to close the city?
Could it be that the Huns are attacking?
As an official, Yang Ke knew very well the specific contents of the edict issued in the third year of Yuande.
This was an order issued by the Emperor in response to possible attacks by the Huns. This edict granted the supreme commanders of the Great Wall garrison and local fortress garrisons the power to mobilize, arm, and emergency call and take over local civil affairs in emergencies.
However, it must be reported to Changan afterwards and a reasonable report must be given.
Basically, after this edict was promulgated, it was rarely implemented.
But it has always been a subject taught in Wuyuan.
All officers who go to Wuyuan for further training must have questions about this item in their examination files when they graduate.
Therefore, all the generals in the Han Dynasty, even those who have not studied in the martial arts academy, are familiar with this order, and everyone can recite it by heart.
Thinking of this, Yang Ke's heart became hot.
In the Han Dynasty, the easiest place to get promoted was the battlefield, and the easiest place to get rich was also the battlefield.
No matter who you are, as long as you can chop off the enemy's head on the battlefield, you will be successful.
And Yang Ke was not a civil servant in later generations.
In fact, every young official of the Han Dynasty was a talented person who could write articles and go into battle and ride a horse to charge.
For the bureaucrats of the Han Dynasty, if they could not freely switch between the two professions of civil servants and military commanders at any time.
That means you don't have much of a future, and you'll be nothing more than a minor official in a local government if you survive for the rest of your life.
Because basically, if you have more than two thousand dan, or even more than 1,000 dan, you may have to lead troops to fight at any time.
The local county guards were always prepared to be appointed by the emperor and given the seal of general to go into battle.
As for the three ministers and nine ministers of the imperial court, if they have no experience in enlisting in the army, the possibility of being selected is very slim.
The reason why Dou Guangguo, Marquis of Zhangwu, was not able to become prime minister was that, apart from being criticized for being a relative, his biggest shortcoming was that he had not enlisted as a general and had no experience in commanding an army.
Everyone in the government and the public talks about this.
This shows how important it is for an official to be a good general in the Han Dynasty!
Yang Ke, who is determined to climb the peak, has naturally been dreaming and looking forward to the future of donning armor and going into battle to kill the enemy.
Because civil servants who have been on the battlefield and killed enemies will receive extra points when they are promoted!
It will leave a good impression on everyone in the court!
Think about it, when the names of two people with the same resume and qualifications are sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion or the Imperial Censor's Yamen.
One of them has been on the battlefield and killed enemies, while the other has been surrendering in the officialdom.
Who do you think the prime minister and the censor will choose?
There is no doubt that those who have had the same experience as myself and have seen blood on the battlefield are more likely to be favored.
You might even get praise from some big shots!
With this idea in mind, Yang Ke stepped forward, bowed his hands to the officer and said, "May I ask your noble officer, what happened?"
That officer naturally recognized Yang Ke, how could he not?
Because according to the emperor's regulations, when the Lord Commander's Yamen collects taxes in a certain place, its safety is protected by the local army. Correspondingly, one-twentieth of the taxes collected will be handed over to the central government.
, as additional military expenses for this army.
It can be used to add meals, give benefits, or even change clothes!
The troops stationed in Shenhe all pointed to Yang Ke to collect more taxes so that they could have breastplates in the future.
Naturally, the officer did not dare to hide the question about the God of Wealth. In fact, he had nothing to hide.
He smiled slightly and replied: "Don't be alarmed, Lieutenant Yang, this state of emergency will be lifted in about three days."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said to Yang Ke: "We are in great luck! I'm afraid we will be rewarded by the emperor soon!"
"Huh?" Yang Ke asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"
The officer smiled and said proudly: "A righteous citizen, feeling the kindness of the emperor, traveled thousands of miles, broke through the Huns' interception and sniping, and returned to the Han Dynasty! Wouldn't your Majesty not be happy?"
The officer's eyebrows and eyes narrowed together as he smiled.
The garrison in Shenhe is the county soldiers of Dai State, and it only exists to maintain the safety of the Great Wall and protect Shenhe City behind it.
In last year's battle at Gaoque, they didn't even have a chance to win.
The whole army sighed with regret.
I can only watch helplessly as others make meritorious deeds, get promoted, and be granted the title of marquis.
The entire joint camp, from the captain to the soldiers, their eyes were red!
But there is nothing we can do!
Everyone is holding back their energy, waiting for the next war, looking forward to the war.
At this time, the big gift package from heaven immediately made everyone in the joint army camp extremely excited.
This officer was so happy that he almost wanted to run naked!
You know, because of this incident, his chances of entering the martial arts academy for further study in the future have almost doubled!
From almost no hope at first, to very hopeful now!
And Wuyuan is every Han Dynasty officer’s dream place, paradise!
Entering Wuyuan means that you can get professors from famous generals of the Han Dynasty!
You can even accept condolences and encouragement from the emperor!
If you are smart and outstanding enough, you might even be able to become a disciple of several famous generals in the world!
For military generals, the existence of the martial arts garden is just like the examinations for literati, which is the key to their rapid rise and success!
But Yang Ke became more and more confused as he listened. Yimin? What kind of people can be called righteous people?
Definitely not the Yi and Di tribe!
Because in the eyes of today's scholar-bureaucrats and nobles of the Han Dynasty, the people of Yi and Di are beasts that walk on two legs.
Before enlightenment, there were no human rights!
Even after being educated, the status of the first generation is similar to that of slaves.
Only their second generation will be truly regarded as Zhu Xia.
Of course, those Yi, Di, and Hu cavalry who charged into battle and killed the enemy for the Han Dynasty were not included in this list.
Those Hu herders who are good at herding and work hard are not included in this list.
Both of them are regarded as naturalized persons and can enjoy the same treatment as common people in the Han Dynasty. They are even issued household registration and registered with the government.
Finally, under the other party's explanation, Yang Ke finally understood what was going on. A group of Qin survivors of about two to three thousand people, after being enslaved and controlled by the Xiongnu for more than seventy years, resolutely took their wives and daughters and traveled across time.
Traveling thousands of miles of deserts and grasslands, overcoming countless obstacles along the way, we returned to the foot of the Great Wall.
"Is there such a thing?" Yang Ke was greatly moved, and he quickly said: "Since a righteous citizen has returned, please allow me to bring someone to express my condolences!"
Today's emperor is the emperor who values Zhuxia the most.
In his eyes, all the people of the Xia Dynasty were his subjects, and in order to protect his subjects, the emperor had always paid no attention to the cost.
At that time, the generals of the Qin army that conquered the south were buried in their coffins and were even buried in state funerals!
And the Nanyue King Zhao Tuo, who once rebelled against the Han Dynasty, was even posthumously named Yi Wen.
Today, a group of Qin people have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, braved the pursuit and interception of the Xiongnu, and returned to the embrace of the Han mother.
Yang Ke could already imagine the emperor's joy.
He immediately knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build his reputation!
Definitely not to be missed!
Not only Yang Ke, but all the merchants in Shenhe City also became excited immediately after learning about this from various channels.
For businessmen, this opportunity is a rare opportunity to flatter and flatter the emperor!
If you don't catch it, I'm afraid your intestines will be full of regrets in the future!
If you are caught, you will definitely be able to earn the status of a righteous merchant. At least if you get an amulet, even if you are caught committing a crime, your punishment may be reduced.
And if you are lucky, you might even get a chance to become an imperial merchant and become successful people like the Cheng Zheng family, Zhuo family and Luoyang Shi family in Linqiong!
So, everyone immediately lined up with their servants and servants, carrying large and small bags of gifts, to go to the Shenhe Army Camp to express condolences to the suffering compatriots who were oppressed by the Xiongnu!
By the next day, almost the entire Dai Kingdom's nobles were in action.
There was even a son of the King of Dai who personally rode in the car and came to show off with gifts and all kinds of clothes and food. To be continued^
