The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 60

On the day the imperial court awarded the rewards to Huang Yizhou and his son, Zheng Guochang sent four servants to accompany the officials sent by the Ministry of War to Jiulitai Village to announce the letter of appointment and leave the capital.

Zheng Yacha was full of hope, thinking that his son would easily share his military merits with Huang Han and get a chance to be promoted. At the very least, he could remove the word "probationary" and become a serious nine-rank master book.

The four servants of the Zheng family are acquaintances who stayed with the head of the family for five days in the refuge. They will serve in the army with Zheng Xiaowen.

Of course, the thirty cavalrymen that Zheng Guochang had carefully recruited would go to Huang's house to report to see the Patriarch.

The promotion and the expansion of the army made Huang Yizhou overjoyed. He invited several officials from the Ministry of War to send letters of appointment to stay in the refuge for a few days, but they were rejected. The officials knew that Yongping Mansion was an area occupied by the enemy, and it was precarious. , I dare not waste time at this risk.

Huang Yizhou saw that he could not keep the guests, so he had to send them back with Xiqian.

Zheng Xiaowen was certainly happy to receive the letter of appointment and his father's handwritten letter. He is the second son in the family, so he is rather embarrassed.

Now that his father has given him a starting point, he certainly hopes to go far and steadily.On the same day, I took the initiative to find Huang Yizhou and asked to perform my duties.

People eat horses and chew too much and need to keep accounts. Now Huang Yong and Huang Yi are doing these chores. Of course it is good for many scholars to help manage it.

Zheng Guochang's wife heard from her son that the master had arrived in the capital safely, and the court did not pursue the responsibility for the loss of Yongping Fucheng. The heart that had been worrying these days was finally let go.

Huang Han led the cavalry to send Zheng Guochang to the capital, and he would be able to return home in five or six days.

But he went up to Zunhua halfway, and the family waited and waited, but there was no news. Of course, everyone was worried.

Because of Zheng Xiaowen's relationship with Huang Yizhou as godfather, Mrs. Zheng and Huang Han's mother, Huang Zhang, have gotten along well. Zheng Xiu'e often brings a few little maids with Huang's two daughters Maids Xiaowei and Xiaoyue work as maids together to chat about their family's troubles.

Without exception, they all loved to hear Xiaowei and Xiaoyue, the two little lolitas, talk about their personal experience of the gold army's looting after the encounter, and everyone was fascinated by it.

Because the stories told by Xiaowei and Xiaoyue are very different from the reality, they made it clear that the eighteen Ding cavalry soldiers of the Ming army were beaten to death by five Jian slaves and half of them fled, while Huang Han was beaten to death by himself. Five Jian slaves rescued them both.

Who doesn't love heroes?Excellent and outstanding!The glorious image of Huang Han's bravery and invincibility has taken root in the beautiful girl's heart.

Zheng Xiu'e was born in a scholarly family. Her ancestors had Jinshi and scholar-bureaucrats, and her father was a top academic figure. Not only was she named on the gold list, but she was also promoted to the ranks of the Ming Dynasty.

Women from aristocratic families are definitely not comparable to upstarts. They must be dignified and virtuous, and their temperament is also very different from ordinary people.

Ever since Zheng Xiu'e got acquainted with the two daughters of the Huang family, she has become their imitation objects. Huang Xin and Huang Ping were also strictly ordered by Huang Han to study and wrote down many new words that must be mastered. Sometimes the two girls forgot new words How to read, will ask sister Xiu'e.

The father of the Zheng family belonged to the son of a tiger. The eldest son of the direct line was selected as a scholar through stumbling, and the second son had to rely on his ancestor Yin to get a job as a supervisor, but this daughter of the direct line was extremely smart.

Zheng Guochang often lamented that he hated his daughter for not being a man, otherwise the Zheng family would have children who would be named Jinshi and rank on the gold list.

After living in the shelter for a month or two, Zheng Xiu'e has already taken over to Huang's family, and she is also worried about Huang Han's safety.

A few days later, the great news came that Huang Hanping sent Zheng Yacha to the capital. Not only was the master of the Zheng family not held accountable, but he was also praised by the emperor.

Although they didn't see the Huang Han and the cavalry soldiers returning home, everyone saw the imperial court's award document, and Zheng Xiu'e even read it to all the female relatives.

Now, none of the women in the shelter was sad anymore, they were all chattering about where did Huang Han take his troops?Will the Jin army appear suddenly after beheading many more?

Unexpectedly, everyone's imagination was not rich enough, and the number of Huang Han's horses who went home again doubled, bringing back hundreds of people, a hundred carts, and hundreds of pack horses.

How is this possible?Not only Zheng Xiu'e was curious, but Huang Yizhou, Zheng Xiaowen, etc. all found it incredible.

The army and civilians in the refuge were all talking about it. Later, everyone learned from Song Pengfei who sent the wounded up the mountain that the [-] Ming troops under the leadership of Huang Han, the servant of the Ministry of War, successfully attacked Zunhua by surprise, and captured the city in one fell swoop. Countless supplies have saved tens of thousands of people.

The folks in the refuge were shocked. Zheng Yacha, a senior official of the third rank, had already honored them, and now another minister of the Ministry of War, the third rank, was willing to accept Huang Han's proposal.

Could it be that Huang Jia Dalang is a character like Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? No, no, Zhuge Liang is just a scholar, and he can't fight. Huang Han should be a good man like Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Sun Ce.

Everyone was elated, and those who had just joined the Ming army also had a sense of belonging, thinking that with such a wise and brave general, the brothers' life in the future should not be too bad.

The little girls are looking forward to seeing the hero come back again. For some reason, Zheng Xiu'e often dreams of a knight galloping towards her on colorful clouds, but every time in the dream, the knight can't reach her... …

Huang Han got a piece of good news immediately after returning home. Both his father and himself had been promoted, and both the actual official position and the false one had been promoted by one or two ranks. It means that there are three hundred and a total of 330 six fighters under his command.

Huang Han is the fifth rank Dongsheng Zuowei Qianhu vacant position, and he is actually appointed as the head of the hundred. Hanzi and Huang Yong are both the chief banner officers of the sixth rank Baihu. Song Pengfei, Yang Hanwei, Yang Danian, Huang Sifang, Liu Fenyong, Yuan Siming, etc. Obtained the false title of Zhengqipin General Banner, and the real position was appointed by Huangyi Prefecture.

Huang Yong, who has been helping manage people and things on the mountain, has received Zheng Guochang warmly during this time, and suddenly got an official position, second only to Huang Yizhou and Huang Han, which surprised everyone.

This is actually easy to figure out. It is estimated that Zheng Guochang really wanted to support Huang Yong when he saw Huang Yong as a man. Anyway, he has the skill of beheading, and everyone has a basis for promotion. It means that the fat and water don't flow into the field of outsiders.

Most military officer promotions are more and more difficult as you go up. It is almost enough to get a general banner and a hundred households with seven or eight real slaves, but the military merits required to go up are quite different.

This time, with the 22nd level of the real slave, the [-]th level of the string-controlling mandarin, and the [-]th level of the banner man, so many people got official positions, it must be because of the people in the court.
