397, go to Jingnan to take office (please complete the order)
In the past few months since we got married.
Bai Gui and Bai Tang's husband and wife got along well with each other, and the music of the piano and the harp played in harmony, which became a favorite story at that time.
Time flies as time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it’s early September this autumn.
Because Bai Gui had been crowned, he was appointed by the imperial court as the commander of the Jingnan Forbidden Army, in charge of one army and five battalions, with a total of 2,500 people.
The military order was urgent and he was ordered to leave immediately and go to Jingnan Mansion to take up his post.
According to common sense, Bai Gui, the top martial artist, should have spent some time among the middle and lower-level generals of the Forbidden Army, and at most he would be appointed as a commander, in charge of a battalion of 500 people.
Only after you have enough qualifications can you be promoted to such an official position.
From the commander-in-chief to the commander-in-chief of the military capital, during this period, there were also official positions such as Du Yuhou.
There must be something fishy in this.
West Lake, Han Mansion.
Bai Gui came to the door to say thank you.
No matter how idiot he is, he can still see that this is the path arranged for him by his master Han Shizhong. In the court, the only person he can rely on and who can speak for him is his master Han Shizhong.
"Jingnan Prefecture is Liu Qi's territory, and he is the magistrate of Jingnan Prefecture..."
"This person has an old friendship with me as a teacher. I have already compiled a book and told it to Uncle Xin. For your convenience, if you have anything you want to ask for advice, you can also ask him."
When Bai Gui entered the house, Han Shizhong was exercising his strength. When the exercise was over, he wiped the hot sweat with a sweat towel and gasped.
Liu Qi, courtesy name Uncle Xin.
"It turned out that Uncle Liu was the governor of Jingnan Mansion..."
"No wonder it's so."
Bai Gui suddenly realized.
Although only half of the country in the Song Dynasty was left, it was still extremely vast. He had not entered the court as an official, so he did not know these specific details. Although he could detect it with the help of the Kunlun Mirror and spend some time and energy, but rather than expend that little effort
, It’s better to go to Han Mansion and ask.
After he finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at Han Shizhong's exposed upper body, feeling secretly shocked.
Muscle knots.
You can run horses on your arms, and you can stand people on your fists.
With such a physique, he doesn’t look like an old veteran at all.
Although Lian Po is old, can he still make a living?
Although he secretly recuperated Han Shizhong's body with spiritual herbs, this was inseparable from Han Shizhong's own physical fitness. After all, he was a fierce general who captured Fang La alive.
As for whether Han Shizhong's behavior would violate taboos, it doesn't matter.
Forming cliques for personal gain was a secret matter between emperors and ministers. With Han Shizhong's status, finding a good position for his direct disciple was not a big deal.
On the contrary, this is a kind of self-destruction!
As for the relationship between Han Shizhong and Liu Qi, there is no need to go into details.
Both Liu Qi and Han Shizhong came from the Western Army system, and Han Shizhong was originally the Privy Council Envoy. In terms of the status of military attache, even the original Yue Fei was only the Deputy Privy Council Envoy, subordinate to Han Shizhong.
Liu Qi's father Liu Zhongwu and Liu Guangshi's father Liu Yanqing were both generals of the Western Army.
Bai Gui practiced martial arts with Han Shizhong for a while, then said goodbye and left.
He hurriedly accepted the military order, and there were still many follow-up matters. Time was tight and he had no time to stay in Han Mansion for a long time.
…
Three days later.
Bai Gui was dressed in military uniform, riding a strong horse, and with thirty personal soldiers donated by Han Shizhong, he was preparing to go to Jingnan Mansion to take up his post.
Say goodbye at Qinghe Street.
Tang Wan's tears were still wet, and she stepped forward and said: "Bai Lang, I can also go with you to Jingnan Mansion. You are the commander of the military capital in Jinan Mansion, and you don't need to live in the military camp..."
she cried.
She had only been married for a few months, and when she saw her beloved husband joining the army, even though her heart was strong, she was still reluctant to give up at this moment.
Bai Gui quickly persuaded Tang Wan and Bai Li to stop crying.
The maid at home helped the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law back to the mansion.
Only the clan relatives and Bai Gui were left to say goodbye.
This time Bai Gui decided to join the army, and many relatives also asked Bai Gui to take away their children in order to arrange for an official position.
Being a soldier, at this moment, I am Qiu Ba.
But this is not absolute. The treatment of the Forbidden Army is much better than that of the local army such as the Xiang Army. Likewise, these relatives who asked Bai Gui to install their relatives are definitely not the top soldiers, but the lower-level officers.
Of course, most of these heirs were concubines, not legitimate sons, who wanted to make a career in the army.
Bai Gui also wished for this and readily agreed.
Since ancient times, relatives have always been the backbone of rebellion.
If for no other reason than that, if the rebellion fails, the Zhujiu Clan will definitely kill them.
In addition, if you want to succeed in the military camp, you must maintain a certain balance between nepotism and fairness.
"If you are an official, you should be the King of Jinwu, and if you are a wife, you should be Yin Lihua."
"At this time, I finally understood what Liu Xiu was thinking. Having a wife and children on the hot bed is a happy event in life. If there is no disaster for the family and the country, we will not know whether we will be able to take that step."
Bai Gui glanced at the gate of Bai's Cloth Shop and thought to himself.
He could hear Bai Li and Tang Wan crying from inside the courtyard wall.
However, he only hesitated for a moment before making up his mind.
Tighten the reins and tighten the horse's belly.
He flicked the horsewhip smoothly.
Horses neigh.
After a burst of smoke and dust, there was no trace of Bai Gui on Qinghe Street.
Shuangcha Lane.
The place where the White Snake temporarily resides.
"Sister, my brother-in-law has already gone to Jingnan Mansion. You and I will set off to find him now."
"And my brother-in-law didn't bring his wife with him this time."
Xiaoqing smiled.
In the past few months, Bai Gui and Tang Wan have been inseparable, leaving no room for them to interfere.
If you use Taoism, you can certainly separate Bai Gui and Tang Wan temporarily. But if you do this, you will become enemies and create a feud.
God knows what you did.
Therefore, in the past few months, Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing and Bai Gui had only met once, and it was difficult for them to meet again.
"Is this true?"
Bai Suzhen looked happy.
These days, she was so worried that she didn't know what to do next. Bai Gui didn't leave any room for her to interfere.
Now, I finally found an opportunity.
"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes."
Xiao Qingdao.
Bai Suzhen nodded, flicked her sleeves with Xiaoqing, and disappeared.
The mansion next to the Arrow Bridge was instantly transformed into a dilapidated and dilapidated house, no longer as magnificent as it once was with carved beams and painted beams.
…
A few days later.
Bai Gui led his soldiers to the Forbidden Army camp in Jingnan Mansion.
He had previously gone to visit Liu Qi, the magistrate of Jingnan.
Zhizhou's mansion.
Liu Qi met with Bai Gui.
"My dear nephew, please don't be in a hurry to take office. My uncle is selecting elite men from Jingnan Prefecture's Forbidden Army and Xiang Army to supplement the army under your command. He is also mobilizing a series of materials such as troops and horses to supplement the armaments..."
he said.
Bai Gui is Han Shizhong's apprentice and can be regarded as his descendant. The soldiers and horses given to him must not be given in a hurry. If you want to give them, give them the best.
In the Song Dynasty, courtiers served as governors of various states, and they were called "quanzhi" to know the affairs of a certain military state, which was referred to as "zhizhou". "Quanzhi" refers to the temporary supervisor, the military refers to the local army, and the state refers to the civil affairs.
Liu Qi is the magistrate of Jingnan Prefecture and is qualified to manage the local Xiang army. Cheng Min, another general of Han Shizhong, is currently serving in the Privy Council and is in charge of the forbidden military.
Therefore, with the help of these two people, the group of forbidden troops commanded by Bai Gui is the most elite and the best equipped.
"My nephew thanks Uncle Liu for helping."
Bai Gui thanked him.
What is meant by using power for personal gain? This is it.
Fortunately, he was a martial arts champion and a young boy, so he could be helped up. Otherwise, ordinary people, just Han Shizhong's disciples... would be of no use even if they were given this opportunity.
His two official positions are equivalent to having certain qualifications.
Therefore, Liu Qi and Cheng Min's help to him is not the icing on the cake, but it is not to the extent of providing help in times of need. It is just ordinary favoritism.
