marquis of jingan

This "Mr. Shen" is actually not appropriate.

Because Shen Yi is not only of low rank, but also young, it is a bit against the law to call him this way, but these anti-Japanese soldiers really couldn't find a more suitable name to call him.

If Shen Yi served in the Anti-Japanese Army, then he could still be called an official position, but Shen Yi is currently listed as a post in the Ministry of War, and the head of the Ministry of War has nothing to do with the Anti-Japanese Army in theory.

However, the Anti-Japanese Army was brought out by Master Shen after all, so if you call him an official position in the Ministry of War, it would be too ostentatious.

As for the title "Mr. Shen", it was originally Xue Wei who called it up, because Xue Wei respected scholars more, so he first called Shen Yi "Hanlin Gong", and later he became familiar with it, and shortened it to "Shen Yi". , but later, as Master Shen's status gradually stabilized, even Ling Su, a five-rank thousand household, began to call it that.

However, it is worth mentioning that in Dachen, the rank of military officers cannot be compared with civil servants.

For example, even if it is a hundred households like Xue Wei, if it is calculated purely based on rank, it is already a sixth-rank military officer. Comparing the principals, even with the Qipin county magistrate of a random county in the locality, they are far from each other.

Therefore, although Shen Yi is one level lower than Ling Su, as far as the officialdom is concerned, whether it is power or status, he is firmly ahead of Ling Su.

This is also the reason why Ling Su, the former Linhaiwei Qianhu, can recognize Shen Yi as the leader, to a large extent, because of this reason.

It has been too long to emphasize literature and suppress martial arts.

Not only do civil officials have the idea of ​​looking down on military generals, but even the military generals themselves will naturally have a sense of inferiority in front of the civil servants.

Master Shen sat on the carriage, looked at Ling Su and Xue Wei in front of him, then jumped off the carriage, walked up to the two of them, first bowed his hand to them, then glanced at the hundred riders behind him, and shook his head slightly: "It's only ten or twenty miles away to Yueqing. I didn't have to come to pick me up. Besides, I just came. The two of you just came. Why did you bring so many people here?"

He smiled and said, "I don't know, I thought I was putting on airs."

Ling Su is relatively good at talking. He looked up at Shen Yi, with a smile on his face: "The backbone of our anti-Japanese army is back, and we brothers should come out to greet him. Look, Mr. Shen..."

He pointed to the more than 100 riders behind him, and said with a smile: "When I was in Linhaiwei, counting the mill donkeys up and down Linhaiwei, it might not be possible to gather a hundred animals. Look at our anti-Japanese army now. A cavalry battalion of [-] cavalry can already be assembled."

Horses are precious things.

Especially in the case of losing half of the country, the court of Chen Guo almost cut off the source of horses. Without the few natural horses in the north, they can only use a small-scale farm to breed horses, and the quality of the breeding is very bad. .

Ordinary horses are fine, but war horses...

It's basically a state of talking is better than nothing.

For decades, all the war horses in the Chen Kingdom have basically been purchased from special channels in the north, which has led to the fact that there are basically not many cavalry in the entire Dachen, and even if there are, there is no one that can truly form a cavalry array Cavalry armies exist.

The vast majority are infantry.

Therefore, Linhaiwei used to have no cavalry, but after the formation of the Anti-Japanese Army last year, Shen Yi forcibly threw out a cavalry team of about 500 people by spending money.

But it is a pity that the mounts used by this cavalry are basically ordinary horses, and it is difficult to reach the level of war horses. When Shen Yi got this cavalry out, he did not expect them to be able to charge on the battlefield. Used as a mobile force.

To put it bluntly, it is to use them to complete the encirclement and interception of Japanese pirates.

To put it bluntly, these five hundred men are not actually cavalry, they are just a simple combination of five hundred horses carrying five hundred infantry.

But even so, it was enough to make Ling Su excited.

He was born in a military family and grew up in the army, but until he inherited the position of Qianhu in his family, he had never seen a few horses in the sea guard.

Shen Yi coughed, then looked at Ling Su seriously, and said: "Ling Qianhu, no matter what, the word Shen Gong must never be called again. First, I can't afford it. It’s a joke to spread the word about your age.”

"I heard Xue Wei shouting that."

Ling Qianhu smiled and said: "So I also shouted, don't worry, our brothers will also shout in private, and when we meet officials in the yamen, we don't call them that."

Shen Yi turned to look at Xue Wei.

In comparison, this very brave Xue Baihu is much more honest. He first smiled at Shen Yi honestly, and then asked: "Shen...Master Shen."

This is the advantage of Xue Wei, he will do whatever you teach.

Xue Baihu looked at Shen Yi, bowed his head and said, "Well, did you add a son or a miss to your family?"

"This subordinate wanted to write you a letter to inquire about it years ago, and even the gentleman who wrote it for you has been invited to your home..."

Speaking of this, Xue Baihu scratched his head: "After inviting Mr., the subordinates just remembered that I don't know where you live in Jiankang. I heard that Jiankang is very big, and I'm afraid I won't be able to send it to you... "

Hearing Xue Wei's words, Shen Yi was quite moved. He smiled at Xue Wei and said, "It's a kid."

Xue Wei immediately showed joy when he heard the words: "Congratulations, Master Shen, congratulations, Master Shen..."

Master Shen smiled dumbly: "There is nothing to congratulate, I would like to have a daughter, maybe it will be better."

"It's good to have a son."

Xue Wei made a rare rebuttal, and said in a low voice: "Give birth to a son, and when he grows up, he will be able to take care of himself. If he gives birth to a daughter, it will depend on her own life..."

What I have to say is that Xue Wei's words are quite reasonable.

The era of Shen Yi's last life was a time of real chaos, and there was no difference between boys and girls, but in this era, it is absolutely difficult for women to control their own destiny.

Even if it is a princess of a country, if she says she will marry you to the frontier fortress, she will marry you to the frontier fortress.

Not at all by myself.

Shen Yi smiled when he heard the words, he turned his head and glanced at the young man who was stunned by the merchant behind him, and waved to the young man: "My little brother, if you want to go to Yueqing, you can go to the county government to find me. I have time to treat you father and son to dinner."

After that, he looked at the two generals of the Anti-Japanese Army beside him, and said, "Okay, don't stick around on the official road anymore, let's go back to Yueqing."

After all, Shen Yi returned to the carriage again.

Ling Su and Xue Wei rode horses and followed Shen Yi's carriage on the left and right sides, like two guards guarding Master Shen.

The road of ten or twenty miles is not too far, and it didn't take long for the group to enter Yueqing.

At this moment, the officials of the Yueqing County Government also got the news and had already greeted them at the gate of the city, but the former county magistrate of Yueqing, Zhong Ping, was not present.

This Shen Yi is clear, after all, the new county magistrate of Yueqing will take office soon, and it will be his brother Ying Zhao from his hometown.

After getting off the carriage, Shen Yi asked Jiang Sheng to take the contents of the car to his residence, and then he was surrounded by several generals of the Anti-Japanese Army and went to eat.

While walking on the road, Shen Yi looked at Ling Su and asked, "Ling Qianhu, where is the imperial envoy now? Have you returned to Yueqing?"

Ling Su shook his head: "Master Shen, the imperial envoy has never returned since he left Zhejiang."

"Right now..."

"The imperial envoy should be in Guangzhou."

Shen Yi nodded.

He and Li Mu have not been in touch for almost a month. Originally, Li Mu, as an imperial envoy, should go to Yueqing Dock to take a look, but he seems to have made up his mind not to get involved in the anti-Japanese army. never came back.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi sighed slightly: "I'm afraid the commander of our anti-Japanese army will have to change this year."

Hearing the words, several generals of the anti-Japanese army turned their heads to look at Master Shen.

Shen Yi naturally knew what everyone was thinking, and shook his head slightly upon seeing this.

"I probably won't change it."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Qianhu grinned.

"Master Shen said one sentence in two sentences, the brothers are all frightened by you."

Everyone followed suit.

"That's right, Master Shen almost scared us to death."

Shen Yi looked back at the generals.

See them talking and laughing.

At this moment, the words that Zhao Lu said to him appeared in his mind for no reason...

If you lead more troops, His Majesty will not allow you to be a civil servant...
