On August 26, Li Zhi got up early in the morning and saw that his wife Cui He had finished dressing up early and was sitting by the bed in a daze.
Li Zhi took Cui He's hand and asked with a smile: "What are you thinking about?"
Cui He pursed his lips and said, "I want to eat something sour! You won't even buy it for me!"
Li Zhi laughed and said: "Pregnant people like to eat sour food, but we didn't prepare oranges at home. I was negligent!"
Cui He pursed his lips and said, "Ju'er bought me oranges, but I don't want to eat them. I want to eat the ones you bought!"
Li Zhi smiled and said, "Why do you want to eat what I bought?"
Cui Hekankan said: "Although you have made great contributions by defeating the Tatars and defending our family, there are still many things to do as a father. For example, buying oranges is what father has to do. If you don't do it well, you will die.
I won’t be able to give birth to a good child.”
Li Zhi smiled, knowing that he was too busy these days and had somewhat neglected Cui He, so he hugged her and said, "Good lady, I will buy oranges for you right now, the sourest ones!"
"The most sour one will make your teeth sore, just use the sour one in general!"
"Okay, I'll buy the normal sour one. I'll buy it after I taste it!"
Li Zhi got up, put on his clothes, took a hundred copper coins and went to the market in the north of the city. When the people in the market saw that Master Cheng came to the market in person, they respectfully made way for them one by one. But the orange sellers knew it.
Mrs. Chengzhen was pregnant, and she still had the courage to ask for business in front of Li Zhi.
"Sour oranges! Selling sour oranges!"
"The oranges are so sour!"
Li Zhi went to a stall with good business and bought a dozen semi-sour oranges, which he packed back in bamboo baskets. When Cui He saw that Li Zhi had really gone to buy oranges, he was so happy that he came to the yard and hugged him.
Holding Li Zhi's hand, he walked back to the main room. The two of them peeled the oranges in the main room and ate them. Li Zhi felt it was too sour after eating one, but Cui He ate them deliciously, eating one after another.
"Aren't you afraid of losing your teeth?"
"Don't be afraid, the oranges my husband bought are the most delicious!"
Li Zhi chatted with Cui He for a while, and suddenly saw a servant walking in quietly.
"Sir, the governor's office sent someone to tell you that your reward has been received and that you should go to the governor's office to get it!"
About to be promoted!
Li Zhi looked at Cui He.
Cui He waved his hand and said: "Husband, go quickly, go quickly, you don't have to accompany me, I just have oranges to eat!"
Li Zhi then said goodbye to Cui He and went to the governor's Yamen.
Arriving at the second hall of the governor's Yamen, Li Zhi first met with He Shishou and handed over a two thousand tael silver note. He Shishou was in a good mood, took the bank note, smiled and asked Li Zhi to sit down and drink tea, and chatted for a long time.
After drinking three cups of tea, He Shishou asked someone to bring out Li Zhi's badge, orders and official uniform.
"Your reward came very quickly this time. It was specially given by the Emperor! It is obvious that you are favored by the Holy Spirit. Go and change into your official uniform!"
It turns out that the emperor specially ordered to increase the reward for himself. Li Zhi secretly thought that the treatment for killing Yangu Li was still a little different.
He carried his things into the side room and carefully looked at his new outfit.
This time, Li Zhi was promoted to the rank of commander of the capital and served as the guerrilla general of Fanjiazhuang.
The Du Commander is the provincial military chief of each province established in the early Ming Dynasty. He is in charge of the military and horse farming in a province. He ranks high in the second rank and is directly under the jurisdiction of the Governor of the Fifth Army Dudu Mansion. The Du Commander Tongzhi is the deputy of the Du Commander and has the same position.
With high authority, the official position is from the second rank. Of course, the guard system was in decline in the late Ming Dynasty, and the official position of the commander-in-chief became a false title, which only represented the rank of the military attache and had no power. Only the official position of Fanjiazhuang guerrillas could explain Li
What does a plant do?
Li Zhi looked at the official uniform and hat of the commander-in-chief.
Different from the fourth-grade pearl hat beads, the second-grade Wusha hat is made of fine Hetian jade hat beads, which is more noble. The top of the hat is still made of gold. The official uniform is crimson, with colorful embroidery on the patches.
There are auspicious clouds and waves, but in the middle is a lion with teeth and claws. The belt of the official uniform is made of rhinoceros, which looks extremely majestic when paired with the official uniform.
Li Zhi took off his official uniform of commanding the guards and put on the new official uniform of commanding his colleagues.
Li Zhi looked at the waistband again. It was different from the gold waistband of Commander Wei. This waistband of Commander Tongzhi was made of ivory, snow-white and crystal clear. There were four cloud dragons tattooed on the waistband, and the carving was exquisite. The back of the waistband
It is the eloquent instruction of Emperor Taizu Gao, with a line of words engraved on the front: Shandong Commander-in-Chief, Sidu Commander-in-Chief Li Zhi.
Tianjin did not have a Commander-in-Chief's Department, and Li Zhi's official position was above the Commander-in-Chief's Department in Shandong. Of course, the official title of the Guard Office was empty, and Li Zhi was not required to take up the post.
There are round holes at the beginning and end of the waist tag, with a red silk ribbon hanging on it. Li Zhi hung the waist tag on his belt.
After changing his clothes, Li Zhi walked back to the second hall and showed it to He Shishou. He Shishou looked around and said with a smile: "What a young man from Tianjin, once you log into the Tianzi Hall!"
Li Zhi quickly bowed and said, "It's all thanks to the governor's promotion!"
He Shishou stroked his beard and said: "Now you are a Fanjiazhuang guerrilla, ranking among the generals!" After a pause, He Shishou said loudly: "Fanjiazhuang guerrilla general Li Zhi, kneel down and accept the reward!"
Li Zhi suddenly heard such a sentence and knew that the emperor had given another reward. Didn't he already reward the flying fish suit and jade belt a few days ago? Why is there another reward today? It seems that the merits of Zhenzhan Yangguli are still very conspicuous.
The emperor's rewards are constant.
Li Zhi quickly shook off the front of his official uniform, lowered his head and knelt in the second hall.
He Shishou said loudly: "The emperor is pleased with your contribution to killing Yang Guli, and will reward you with a suit of armor and five hundred taels of platinum. The emperor has an oral decree: 'You are the hero of the great victory, and I hope you will make new achievements again!'"
It seems that the emperor has remembered my name, Li Zhi.
Li Zhi sang: "Thank you, Emperor, for your kindness!"
He Shishou nodded and said, "Get up and pick up the things!"
Li Zhi got up and took the five hundred taels of silver. He felt it was too heavy to lift, so he quickly put it on the coffee table and took the armor again.
That pair of armor was made by the Bureau of Ordnance. It was made of solid materials and well-made. It weighed about twenty kilograms. This pair of armor was a pair of waist-high iron armor, made of square iron armor inlaid. There were two sides of the chest to protect the heart.
Mirror, the inside of the armor is thickly lined with silk. The armor also comes with a helmet. On the outside of the helmet is the God of Six Armors tattooed, and under the tall hat is a Zhenwu Emperor carved.
This armor's defensive capabilities may seem average, but its workmanship is exquisite and it must be very majestic when worn.
He Shishou stroked his beard and said: "Li Zhi, it is a great honor for the emperor to give you armor! This is the emperor asking you to take good care of your body and hope that you will make new achievements again."
Li Zhi sang: "The emperor's kindness is so great that now Li Zhi is full of repayment!"
He Shishou smiled and said: "That's good! The rewards for your subordinates have also arrived. You can take them to Fanjiazhuang!" After a pause, He Shishou said again: "Li Zhi, you are now a guerrilla general. You need to travel more."
Pay attention to the majesty of the imperial officials. I asked someone to make two sets of flags for you. Let your servants hold them when you travel!"
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then saw He Shishou letting people carry two big signs out.
The two wooden signs were painted brown, with large white characters written in the middle. The one on the left said "Shandong Du Sidu Commander Tongzhi", and the one on the right said "Fanjiazhuang Guerrilla General". Li Zhi looked at it
Holding these two signs, I secretly thought that walking with flags and signs must be very majestic.
Senior officials of the Ming Dynasty always carried flags and banners when traveling as a sign of etiquette.
After sitting in the governor's office for a while and chatting with He Shishou, Li Zhi returned to Fanjiazhuang.
Along the way, Li Zhi wore a second-grade military attache uniform and led four servants to hold two sets of flags. Seeing this formation, the people's carriages and horses all gave way to the roadside, allowing Li Zhi to walk through the middle of the road.
"Isn't this the head of the Li family in the east of the city?"
"Promoted again? All the flags and signs have been raised!"
"The general commander is a guerrilla general, what a great officer!"
