Chapter 992 Zhang Yue's blood book accusing falsehood
When Zhang Yue's followers rose up and revolted, Zhang Yue's good luck was destined to come to an end.
Not to mention the fusiliers of the 7th Infantry Division who were running in the distance to guard the city gate, even the seven or eight patrol officers responsible for checking at the city gate were enough to stop them.
Although Zhang Yue's followers were able to reach out, they had to continue to retreat under the pressure of many patrolmen in the early stage. When the soldiers who ran up with flintlock guns arrived, Zhang Yue took the initiative to stop his followers.
Pointless resistance.
Because he had already seen the musketeers of the Puppet Tang Thief Army, and they had already raised their muskets and took aim!
At a distance of only twenty or thirty meters, the dozens of musketeers on the opposite side could turn them into a hornet's nest no matter how bad their marksmanship was!
Seeing that Zhang Yue and others stopped resisting, the fusiliers on the opposite side did not do much else, but continued to aim their muskets and remain alert, while the patrol policemen shouted: "Put down your weapons,
Hold your head with your hands and squat down, otherwise you will be killed!"
Zhang Yue didn't know what kind of fate he would encounter after being caught, but now, he could only obey the warnings of the patrol officers and squat down with his head in his hands!
His two followers also gave up resistance and squatted down.
At this time, the patrolmen came over cautiously with swords in their hands. One of the patrol leaders still held a pistol in his hand. The pistol was not pointed at Zhang Yue, but at his entourage.
At first glance, these two followers knew that they were strong men with great skills. They did not want to be suddenly attacked by them and then stabbed!
At this time, the patrol officers came around to their backs, pushed them to the ground, and at the same time took out the iron handcuffs they carried and locked them on them.
After they were all locked up, they were pulled up and taken away!
Next, there was naturally a lackluster interrogation. At first, Zhang Yue was still lucky and continued to conceal his identity. However, the patrol policemen were not just for nothing, so they made Zhang Yue reveal his true identity in a few moments.
!
When the middle-aged patrol officer in charge of the interrogation discovered that this person was Zhang Yue, he was stunned!
He didn't expect that he would catch the most wanted criminal, Zhang Yue, the fake commander-in-chief, governor of six provinces, grand master, etc., who had a series of titles. What was the reward for this person? If he didn't
If I remember correctly, the wanted notice stated that the reward for this person was quite large.
Anyone who provides valid clues will receive a reward of one thousand taels of silver. If the clues provided lead to the official arrest of the person directly, the reward will be five thousand taels.
If you arrest Zhang Yue directly and bring him to the patrol office, ten thousand taels of silver will be yours!
Well, this bounty is life or death!
A dead Zhang Yue is as valuable as a living Zhang Yue!
Although Zhang Yue's reward is only for ordinary people, patrol policemen like them do not have such treatment, but being able to catch Zhang Yue is a great achievement!
Two days ago, the superiors passed down a message that if Zhang Yue could be caught, the first person to succeed would be promoted to the third rank and would be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.
Oh my god, I’m going to get promoted and make a fortune!
The seven or eight patrol policemen and even the dozens of soldiers of the 7th Infantry Division were very excited when they found out that this person was Zhang Yuehou, although most of them could not get the first credit.
But you can never get away with a small amount of credit.
Everyone who participated in this moment today, whether it is the eight patrol policemen or the nearly one hundred soldiers of the 7th Infantry Division, will all benefit greatly!
In order to protect Zhang Yue's great achievements and avoid being kidnapped, they sent dozens of soldiers to escort Zhang Yue back on the spot!
When the superiors heard that Zhang Yue had been captured, they were also overjoyed!
Let’s not mention the treatment of Zhang Yue from above, but the eight patrol policemen and more than 80 soldiers of the 7th Infantry Division who participated in this incident today have all benefited greatly.
The middle-aged patrol officer who led the team was not only the captain of the patrol, but he was also the first to discover something strange about Zhang Yue. Therefore, this person was judged to be the first to contribute, and was promoted on the spot, directly serving as the head of the Criminal Police Department under the Hanyang Prefecture Patrol Bureau.
The deputy section chief, because his superiors felt that he had a pair of vicious eyes and was very observant, making him a rare talent, they transferred him to the Criminal Police Department to investigate some major cases.
And the rank of this deputy section chief is the seventh rank. His previous position as patrol captain was just a promotion from the eighth rank to the third rank!
The reward of a thousand taels of silver was not discounted at all, and there was no salary treasury bond used to offset it. He was actually given a thousand taels of silver. But when he saw the check for a thousand taels of silver, he was completely shocked.
People’s hearts are always inflated!
He previously served as the squad leader of the patrol team. Although his rank from the eighth grade is a bit lower, he can still be regarded as a low-level official. At least it is more than those ordinary patrol officers from the ninth grade. His monthly salary is four taels of silver.
Coupled with some other miscellaneous subsidies, bonuses, etc., you can get about sixty taels of silver in a year.
This income is not low. The income of other ordinary people, such as factory workers, generally only earns a little more than one tael of silver a month. Unless you are a technical talent, don't expect to earn more than two taels of silver.
Generally, only those in technical jobs or middle- and low-level management positions can earn an income of more than a few taels of silver a month. As for more than 10 taels of silver a month, that is definitely a high income.
His annual income is more than sixty taels, which is much better than ordinary people. However, this thousand taels of silver is more than ten times his annual income!
Not to mention, he was promoted to the rank of seventh-level deputy chief of the criminal police!
According to the current practice of the Tang Dynasty, generally speaking, the eighth and ninth ranks are low-level officials, the seventh, sixth, and fifth ranks are mid-level officials, and the fourth and third ranks are high-ranking officials.
As for the second-rank and first-rank people, they are the top group of people in the political ecosystem. Even if they are from the second rank, they are the governor of a province or the minister of a department.
Although Qipin is only a relatively low-level mid-level official among the mid-level officials, he is also a mid-level official. If he is placed in a local area, he is the commander of a town and the top leader. In the county government office, he is also the director of the patrol bureau.
If I continue to work hard and climb up a few ranks in the next ten or twenty years, it is too high to hope for, but there is still some hope of becoming a chief of the Prefecture Patrol Bureau with a fifth rank.
The person who made the first contribution reaped the biggest benefits, and the results of the others were also good. None of the other seven patrol officers who participated in the operation were left behind. They were all promoted one level, from the ninth rank to the full ninth rank, to the full ninth rank.
After being promoted to the eighth rank, the silver reward ranges from dozens of taels to a hundred taels of silver.
As for the more than eighty soldiers of the 7th Infantry Division, their rewards have nothing to do with the local government, but the military has clear rewards and punishments!
The captain who led the team was given the opportunity to enter the Royal Academy without taking the exam, and this opportunity was more important than directly promoting him to military rank or giving him a bounty.
Because with the regularization of the Army of the Tang Dynasty, the quality requirements for mid-level and senior officers are getting higher and higher. For graduates of the martial arts school, it is not a big problem to become a lieutenant. It is also possible to become an ordinary colonel.
However, if you want to further become the chief officer of the main force, such as the commander of an infantry regiment, or even be promoted to brigadier general and become a member of the general officer in the future, it is basically impossible without the experience of studying at the Royal Academy.
This is not discrimination based on academic qualifications, but rather that it is really difficult to assume these positions without having gone through the professional theoretical study of the Royal Academy.
Nowadays, the division of labor between Wu Xuetang and Imperial Xuetang in the Tang Army is very clear. Wu Xuetang is a basic military school, and the current schooling system has also been expanded to three years. In these three years, they mainly learn basic tactics.
In addition, there are quite a few cultural courses.
In other words, what you learn in the martial arts school is how to command a team or a battalion, and a small part of it involves regiment-level command.
But at the Royal Academy, the starting point is to teach you how to command a regiment, a division, or even an army, and teach you how to plan a large-scale battle!
For example, the Southwest Battle!
More simply:
Martial Arts School, train lieutenants and school officers!
And the Royal Academy trains generals!
Today, in the Army of the Tang Dynasty, except for a very small number of generals who were early Conglong generals, all the other generals above the brigadier level came from the imperial academy, and those at the lieutenant general level, without exception, all came from the imperial academy taught by Li Xuan himself in the early years.
School students.
It is the dream of almost all middle and low-level officers to be admitted to the Imperial Academy, but it is very difficult to be admitted to the Imperial Academy. Every year, only the best dozen or so graduates from the martial arts academy can be directly promoted.
Opportunities to study at Imperial Academy.
Most graduates need to serve in the military for a period of time, then prepare for and take the exam on their own, and only after passing the exam can they enter the Royal Academy to study.
And a few people who have made great contributions will also be allowed to directly skip the exam and further their studies!
The leading captain got the opportunity to enter the Royal Academy, and the other soldiers also received considerable benefits. In short, no one was left behind.
It can be seen that Zhang Yue is like a large lighting lamp, illuminating new hope in life for them!
And where is Zhang Yue now?
He has been taken over by the navy and is being held on a Class A river battleship. He will be escorted back to Jinling by the navy. Naturally, what awaits him will not be a good end.
Of course, according to the Tang Dynasty's tradition of preferential treatment of prisoners, as long as Zhang Yue didn't stiffen his neck and openly resist, his life could be saved.
Killing senior Ming officials and demoting them has never been a hobby of the Tang Dynasty!
They were even more willing to persuade this person to openly betray the Ming Dynasty, and then join the glorious and great Tang Dynasty family, thus increasing his political influence!
Basically, it means: Come and see, everyone, the former Ming Pavilion boss is kneeling down and licking our Tang Dynasty. Our Datang Dynasty is worthy of being an invincible great dynasty in the universe!
If senior officials of the former Ming Dynasty were unwilling to surrender, that would be fine. There were a large group of literary figures in the Reporting Department of the Ministry of Rites, most of whom were Jinshi scholars of the former Ming Dynasty, and a few were ruthless figures who came from the Hanlin Academy of the former Ming Dynasty!
It's childish to imitate someone else's style to write a surrender document. Even imitating the handwriting is no problem at all. Then stamp it with the personal seal of a senior official of the former Ming Dynasty and publish it in the Tang Dynasty newspaper. Who dares to say that this is
Fake surrender document?
Perhaps it won't be long before an article written in blood by Zhang Yue accusing the false Ming Dynasty of all kinds of wrongdoings will be published in the Tang Dynasty newspaper.
