Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 156 Unknown Prophet (Part [-])
In the festival hall of Lingzhou Governor's Mansion, incense cases are enshrined, and sandalwood incense rises.After the incense case, a eunuch from the Huang family held the imperial decree in both hands, and was reading out in cadence: "I only rule the world with literature, and fight chaos with martial arts. Should... clean up Lingwu, clarify the atmosphere of thieves, comfort Li Shu, virtuous reputation spreads all over the country, calms chaos and virtue, martial arts spreads to the temple, and worships the general manager of Lingzhou, who is in charge of the six states of Sheng, Hua, Xia, Yin, Sui, and Yan Military, do things cheaply, like I bow myself, don't let me down...but..."

According to the imperial court system, it is necessary to send someone from the Ministry of War to inspect.After confirming that the number of beheadings matches and the authenticity of the heads, the reward will be met.Liu Wenjing was going to give Chen Ying some eye drops, but the result was good. East Turkic Yehu Ashina Mohe just ran to Ningzhou in one breath, and met the mission sent by Princess Yicheng to Chang'an head-on.

Princess Yicheng saw that Chen Ying was fighting more and more bravely, and the East Turks became famous all of a sudden.Decided to praise and kill Chen Ying, making Li Yuan afraid of Chen Ying, and killed Chen Ying with Li Yuan's hand.So Mo He returned to Chang'an again, more than doubling Chen Ying's record.In the end, it turned out that the Turkic soldiers killed [-] people and captured tens of thousands of people.He also stated that the Turks would form the state of Qin and Jin with the Tang Dynasty.

Although Li Yuan is not the master of generosity, he is not a fool either. Princess Yicheng's plot to kill someone with a knife, not to mention Li Yuan, even most of the courtiers have seen it.As a result, it was easy, and the relief of the inspection results of the Ministry of War was directly omitted, and the reward was directly issued.

At this moment, Chen Ying was puzzled, and even felt lost.It's nothing to be conferred the title of Marquis of Wugong County, the founding of the country. In the Tang Dynasty, there were a lot of titles. He, the Marquis of the Founding of the Country, was actually the seventh rank in the Tang Dynasty's title system.There are nine grades of Fanjue in the Tang Dynasty: the first is the king, who eats ten thousand households, and is the first rank; Duke of Kaiguo County, with [-] households in Shiyi, is the second rank; fifth, Duke of Jianguo County, with [-] households in Shiyi, who is from the second rank; , [-] households in the food town, are on the fourth rank; on the eighth, Kaiguo county sons, [-] households in the food town, on the fifth rank;

What puzzled Chen Ying was that he was only the county magistrate of Jianguo, but Shiyi was comparable to the county magistrate of Jianguo.Another doubt is the general manager of the Tang Dynasty (later changed to the governor), the nature of this general manager is similar to the level of the military region of later generations.There are 34 counties in the seven prefectures, but the jurisdiction of the Lingzhou General Administration is almost equivalent to that of the Lingwu Jiedu Envoy founded in the later Li Longji era.In fact, Chen Ying's actual position at this time is only equivalent to Cong Sanpin.

The title of county marquis is also from the third rank, and the honorary officer and general is also from the third rank.But he was given a Sanjue of Dr. Jin Ziguanglu, a purple official robe, a golden armor, and more than a thousand pieces of gold and silver coins.

At this time, Chen Ying made official clothes from the third rank to vermilion, and purple was the official dress color of officials from the second rank and above. Giving purple to officials from the third rank is a kind of honor, and it is regarded as a spiritual encouragement, not a substantive one. promotion.But if Chen Ying was martyred in the war or became an official after the war, he could enjoy the political treatment of a second-rank official.

Donggong Youwei was reorganized into Dingyuan Army.The Dingyuan Army governs the Zhechong Prefecture of Liushangfu, each of which governs five regiments, and each regiment governs three brigades, with a total of 9000 troops.This Dingyuan army is equivalent to a field army, and there is no specific defense area or garrison. Chen Ying can mobilize it at any time according to the needs of the war.

The Lingzhou General Mansion governs the soldiers of the six prefectures, and the soldiers of the six prefectures are stationed in the territory of the six prefectures respectively. However, these six prefectures are respectively the upper mansions, namely the Lingzhou Zhechong Mansion and Suizhou Zhechong Mansion, and the lower mansion four mansions.Xiafu has four regiments under its jurisdiction, with 200 people in each regiment.The direct-controlled military strength of the Lingzhou General Administration is 200 people.In this way, Chen Ying directly increased from more than [-] soldiers under his direct control to more than [-] soldiers.

Not to mention the increase in troop strength, most of Chen Ying's trilogy has also been promoted. For example, Gao Yunquan, the deputy leader of Donggong Zuo, was promoted from General Xuanwei to General Zhuangwu and Captain Xunjin Qingche.Deputy Youwei led He Yuejing from General Mingwei to General Xuanwei and Captain Shangqi.They also moved separately.Wei Wenzhong was promoted from Captain Zhechong of Xun'er Mansion to the Right Guard of the Eastern Palace, and returned to Chang'an to rebuild the Right Guard of the Eastern Palace.

This made Chen Ying feel very sorry, but other people such as Duan Shigan, Zhang Shigui, Luo Shixin, and Zhang Huaiwei also received honors.Duan Zhigan and others were respectively conferred the title of county uncle of the founding country.The key point is that Duan Zhixuan's father, Duan Yanshi, did not have a noble at all, and his younger brother has a viscount of Qixianzi, but Duan Zhixuan and Li Shimin will eventually be named Duke Fan.What surprised Chen Ying the most was that Luo Shixin actually replaced his original title and became the county uncle of Xiuwu.

There are promotions from official positions, titles, and honorary officers. It would be a lie to say that Chen Ying is unhappy.Facing the angrily-faced eunuch Liu Zhong, the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he said straightly, "Eunuch Liu, I'm afraid you have suffered a lot during this journey, go to the hall and rest for a while...!"

Liu Zhongzhi's expression softened a lot, he waved his hands again and again and said, "Our family can't be called the honorific Tailin, as long as Mr. Chen calls our family to look after us!"

It was only then that Chen Ying knew that in the Tang Dynasty, there were only four eunuchs who could be called eunuchs, Nei Chang Shi, Nei Chengzhi, and Zhong Chang Shi, and Liu Zhongzhi's eunuch was only from the sixth rank. petty officer.But at this time, he also served as the Dingyuan Army's military observer.The full name of Guanrongshi is Guanjunrongxuanxuan Disposal Envoy. In fact, what he wears is the Supervising Army.

Chen Ying is not quite sure when this observation envoy was established in history. He vaguely remembers that it was an official position reserved in the late Tang Dynasty or Song Dynasty. However, in the early Tang Dynasty, this observation envoy came into being. Impact.

Just when Liu Zhongzhi was about to enter the festival hall, he suddenly said: "Mr. Chen, when our family came from Chang'an, His Majesty specifically ordered us to comfort the soldiers for His Majesty. Take a look..."

Chen Ying heard this and turned to Liu Tong and said, "Beat the drum... gather the generals!"

"Dong dong..." The sound of war drums began to sound from the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion, and rhythmic footsteps sounded in a short time. Outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion is the main street of Lingzhou City, similar to Chang'an Street and Chang'an City in Beijing. Although the Zhuque Street in Lingzhou is not wider than the Zhuque Street in Chang'an City, the main street of Lingzhou is also for the convenience of dispatching troops.

So the entire street is about twelve feet eight feet (about 30 meters) wide, which is equivalent to two-way eight-lane lanes in later generations.

The first to complete the assembly was naturally the Zhechong Mansion of the Guard, followed by the Second Mansion of Xun, the First Mansion of Xun, the First Mansion of Yi, and the Second Mansion of Yi.In just one stick of incense, a vertical military parade appeared on the street in front of the Governor's Mansion.The first place in the list is naturally Zhechong Mansion, followed by Xun Yi Mansion and Xun Er Mansion.

Although Liu Zhongzhi is a servant, there are left and right military guards stationed in the palace, so he has seen the army, but he has never seen an army that assembles so fast, especially the kind that is like one, raising its legs neatly, neatly The scene where he landed gave him a great shock.

Just when Liu Zhongzhi felt that his breathing became short of breath, a mighty team of hooked and sickle cavalry appeared on Changjie.

Liu Zhongzhi asked strangely: "Director Chen, do you know how to foretell? How did you know that His Majesty ordered the right guard rate to be reorganized into the Six Mansions of the Dingyuan Army?"

Although Liu Zhongzhi didn't count them in detail, Chen Ying's cavalry Zhechong Mansion, together with the personal guard Zhechong Mansion, Xunyi Mansion, Xuner Mansion, Yiyi Mansion, and Yier Mansion, happened to have more than [-] troops in six mansions. .
