Chapter 101 Promoted to General Zhaoyi, Attending General

"If Your Majesty wants to transfer me into the frontier army, then I will do my best and do my best. Father, you don't have to worry about it."

After much deliberation, Peng Ke still answered Peng Polu ambiguously.

Now, Emperor Hongwu is still there, and the little friction between Taisun and King Yan hasn't happened yet.

Based on the current situation, Peng Polu judged that the advantage lies with the grandson, which is very normal.

Even in the third year of Jianwen, before crossing the river and going straight to Nanjing, no one would think that King Yan could win.

More so now?
Peng Ke also didn't intend to argue with his father about whether the vassal king would turn against him in the end, or whether he would succeed if he did.

Let's see the situation when the grandson comes to power.

Once the grandson started to elevate the status of civil servants and demote military generals and ministers, Dad, a veteran general and minister of the Ming Dynasty, would naturally find that something was wrong.

As for Penke himself, he naturally made two-handed preparations.

If he is really going to be transferred to the north to participate in the Northern Expedition that has never happened in the history of his previous life, then he must work hard to make contributions and climb up.

No matter what the future situation is, it is only reasonable to control as many troops as possible first.

Then, depending on the situation, decide what to do.

Whether it is to help the king of Yan to calm the disaster, or to transfer troops to serve the king, the prerequisite is to have military power, and the greater the military power, the better.

Peng Ke thinks that he is not a person who knows how to fight.

However, after the information explosion era in the previous life, I have seen many summaries of ancient wars, and in this life, I grew up under the training of military masters.

As long as he doesn't do Zhao Kuo's paper talk, he will train in the north for two or three years.

Not to mention that his command level can become a famous general in the world.

But he is better than the crooked melons and dates under Taisun, he still has confidence!
At that time, no matter which side it falls to, it will have its own value.

"Hey"

It's just a pity that my layout in Jinyiwei may be in vain.

Originally, he thought that his role as Jinyiwei would last for 31 years in Hongwu, and he would be transferred after Taisun came to power.

Didn't expect it to be this early.

This caused some of his original plans to be readjusted.

But fortunately, Peng Ke himself just borrowed his identity as the commander of the Jinyiwei and did some things that were made by borrowing chickens and laying eggs.

What troubles him more is that he could have continued to borrow chickens and lay eggs for a few years, but now he can only stop there.

However, after running around the thirteen provinces across the country, the manpower that should be placed and established has already taken shape.

It's not completely useless either.

Penke remembered another urgent matter.

"Father, if I really want to be transferred to the north, what will happen to my marriage with Mu Xiyun!"

The rich woman he finally got close to can't fly!
Once he entered the military camp, it would be very difficult for him to have a chance to respond to Tianfu, at least for two or three years.

After another two or three years, Mu Xiyun will be a leftover woman, how could she wait!

"Don't worry, it's hard to find someone you are satisfied with, your father and I will naturally support it with all my strength." Peng Polu was very relieved, he laughed and said, "I will go to the Mu Mansion to propose marriage for you in a few days."

"Anyway, let's settle the marriage first."

"Then we'll see."

"If His Majesty transfers you to the north after the new year, then try to get married before the new year."

"If it doesn't work, I'll find another auspicious day in the future and take leave to return to Beijing for the wedding."

"Anyway, you are also the eldest son of the Huaininghou Mansion, so there is no reason for the eldest son to go to the battlefield without leaving any seed."

On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and even the most senior generals dare not say that they are sure to be safe.

No matter how Emperor Hongwu wanted Peng Ke to go to the north to fight, he had to consider that Peng Ke, as the only seedling of the Huaining Hou Mansion, would have the consequences of cutting off the Huaining Hou's direct line if he died in battle.

Taking marriage as the reason, it is the right thing to marry a wife or something.

"That's good." Penke felt relieved.

The thigh of Mu Xiyun, a rich woman, must be hugged tightly. In the future, the research and development funds of her own research institute will have to be supported by the rich woman.

Just as the father and son were about to chat about the details of their marriage.

A servant rushed to the door in a hurry, and shouted anxiously: "My lord! An imperial decree has come from the palace, and it's for the prince!"

"It should be a reward from His Majesty." Peng Ke and his father exchanged glances, and immediately stood up and opened the main hall door.

The two went out to meet the angel one after the other.

Two minor officials of the Imperial Academy, dressed in official costumes of the sixth rank, were welcomed into the main hall of the Hou Mansion.

These days, the officials delivering the decree are not eunuchs.

Emperor Hongwu disliked eunuchs intervening in politics, so he once ordered that internal officials were not allowed to read, communicate with foreign officials, hold foreign official titles, or wear foreign official uniforms.

Therefore, most of the eunuchs in the palace now do not know a single word, and it is impossible to pass the decree.

Generally speaking, there are only some oral orders from the emperor summoning people, which will be passed on by eunuchs.

Official imperial edicts can only be delivered by officials of the Imperial Academy, officials of the Ministry of Rites, or the servants of the temples.

Depending on the importance of the imperial decree, it depends on who will deliver the decree.

After the two servants of the Hanlin Academy entered the door, they unfolded the imperial edict in front of Peng Ke and his son.

The two immediately knelt down to accept the order.

"Bong."

"Heaven carries the fortune."

"The emperor called."

"Commander Peng Ke of Jinyiwei, loyal to the emperor and serving the country, thoroughly investigated the world, and made great achievements in handling cases..."

"A special reward of a thousand taels of silver..."

A pile of crepe, it looks like the imperial decree after being retouched by the Imperial Academy, read out by the decree officer.

The clear and loud voice resounded in the main hall.

The imperial decree is not long, only more than 100 words, and it will be finished soon.

It is nothing more than the things that Emperor Hongwu said in the temple that he would reward Peng Ke, and they were confirmed in the form of imperial edicts.

"Commander Chen Jinyiwei, thank you Your Majesty!"

As soon as the imperial decree was read, Peng Ke wanted to get up to receive the decree.

But the messenger stopped Penke's movement with a smile.

"Hey, Commander Peng wait a minute."

"I have another imperial edict here."

and also?

Peng Ke raised his head and glanced at the decree officer in a bewildered expression, then quickly bowed down.

The second imperial decree was accepted.

The decree was opened by the decree officer, and it was still the opening words of the emperor's decree.

But the importance of this edict is much higher than the last one!

"The son of Marquis Huaining, the commander of Jinyiwei, Peng Ke, is loyal to the emperor and serves the country, is familiar with military affairs, and has made great contributions to the Jianghu sect..."

"I was promoted to General Zhaoyi, specially appointed as a general, and accompanied by the governor Jiang Rengang, I was ordered to have [-] frontier soldiers stationed at the Shanhai Pass to prepare for the northern barbarian invaders."

"Chin this."

At this time, he didn't care to be surprised that his father's guess was right, Peng Ke hurriedly thanked the emperor for his order, and got up to accept the order.

"Congratulations to General Peng, Your Majesty is of great use to you!"

The decree officer from the Hanlin Academy had a smile on his face, and he kept complimenting Penke.

That General Zhaoyong is a third-rank military attache's casual rank, which is used to determine the rank, which is not bad.

But the general in the back is a real job!

In the Hongwu Dynasty, the governor of the frontier army generally commanded tens of thousands of troops, and independently stationed in a certain place on the frontier to prevent the invasion of the northern barbarians.

The generals are the deputy generals under the governor. A governor usually has two to three generals, each commanding 2 to [-] troops, responsible for assisting in defense.

In modern times, it is equivalent to being a division commander in a group army, who can fight independently or carry out major military operations with the group army.

This officer is not small at all!
However, logically speaking, if Peng Ke, the commander of Jinyiwei, the third rank, should be transferred to the governor if he has been promoted due to meritorious service.

But Peng Ke is young and has no combat experience, obviously he cannot be allowed to lead the army independently as soon as he comes up.

So he was demoted by one level, and only took the rank of general, which was regarded as a flat transfer.

However, in order not to make people think that he was merciless, Emperor Hongwu specially gave Peng Kesheng a Sanjie.

Originally, after Peng Ke took over as the commander of Jinyiwei, he was awarded General Zhaoyong's dismissal rank for the first time.

And for this loose class, it takes three years to take the initial exam and six years to take the re-examination before the qualified person can be promoted or awarded.

This time, Emperor Hongwu made an exception and directly promoted him, which was regarded as a reward.

Can be rewarded by the emperor as an exception, such a promising Peng Ke, how can he not be flattered by the messenger!

　In fact, the positions of generals, generals, and governors basically did not correspond to civil servants in the early Ming Dynasty.

　　If you insist on corresponding, generally look at the scattered steps.

　　However, there are three scattered steps in the same grade, and they cannot completely correspond to official officials.

　　Song Zhong, the third commander in history, was transferred for the first time as a general.

　　But later he came back to be a command envoy, and in Jianwen's second foreign transfer, he became the governor.

　　However, it is not possible to roughly equate the governor with the second-rank official.

　　It can only be regarded as a military position higher than that of a general.

　　In the early Ming Dynasty, civil and military were two completely different promotion systems, and there was no saying that they belonged to each other.

　　Jin Yiwei is quite special, half civil and half military, with the rank of civil servants and the military rank of military attache.

　　Except for the imperial army, including Jinyiwei, who are directly under the emperor.

　　The civil servants were managed by the three provinces and later the cabinet, and the military officers were managed by the five armies.

　　So you don't have to force the position of military commander into the first, second, third and fourth ranks of civil officials.

　　I knew that Peng Ke would lead the army next and serve as a subordinate to the governor. The army would be about 1 people.
