Chapter 978 Sheng Hong’s “Gou”!

This dynasty has a total of 24 armies with 72 troops, with Longwei, Shenwei, Shenyong, Wuyi, Guoyi, etc. as military flag designations.

Of course, these 72 are only figures on the surface. Most of the armies are now dissatisfied with their numbers. Coupled with unexplained reasons such as empty pay, it is estimated that at least a quarter of the number of troops will be reduced.

As for this garrison system, as the name suggests, each army rotates its garrison. Normally, the Forbidden Army rotates to each border camp.

Because Taizu was a military general, he was afraid that he would cause trouble like him, so he kept all the troops under his nose. He also set up several departments, including the Privy Council, the Three Yamen, and the Ministry of War, in charge of dispatching troops, commanding troops, Manage troops.

Of the twenty-four armies, eight garrisoned the Imperial City of Bianjing, five in the northwest camp defended Daxia, six in Hebei camp fought with the Liao soldiers, three armies in the southwest camp were mainly to prevent the chieftains from causing rebellion, and the southeast camp The battalion bombs overwhelmed Shanyue...

After Yuan Wenshao chatted with his uncle and cousin for a while, they got down to business.

"Uncle, Zhongxuan came here to ask for something. The room for advancement in the Military and Horse Division is limited. I was wondering if I could release the troops from the Prefecture's capital~"

"Tear, you have a good idea. I'll look back and help you think of a solution~"

Uncle Huang agreed directly. For his wife's sake, this small favor was no problem. He also admired his nephew very much. His impressive work in the Military and Horse Division in the past two years had been heard in the Privy Council.

Moreover, this child is also very understanding of people. He never fails to give gifts during the holidays. He carries these large and small packages inside, which is much better than his elder brother.

Besides, it's really not a troublesome thing. It takes a little effort to get from there to the capital, but it's much easier to get out.

"By the way, Zhongxuan, where do you want to go?"

"Uncle, if possible, it would be best to be on these roads near Bianjing so that we can take care of you at home!"

Hearing this, Uncle Huang nodded. He was indeed an old bureaucrat. His speech was impeccable, and he subconsciously stroked his beard and spoke in an official tone.

"Well, I'll help you make some plans when I get on duty tomorrow, but this isn't absolute. It still needs to be..."

Mrs. Yuan, who was playing with her children over there, curled her lips helplessly when she saw this, and then interrupted her husband who was suffering from an occupational disease.

"Okay, sir, if you are still doing this with your own children, take Erlang's affairs to heart and stop procrastinating all the time~"

"Uh... what Madam said makes sense!" Uncle Huang smiled awkwardly.

Then he turned his head and said seriously: "Zhongxuan, just wait for my news. It is impossible to control the army and horses in the state capital. After all, you are relatively young at your age, but it is still no problem to be promoted to a military and horse supervisor!"

"Thank you very much, uncle, but you have to promise me one thing!"

"what?"

Seeing that the two of them were a little confused, Yuan Wenshao said solemnly: "The expenses incurred this time will all be borne by my nephew. I can't let you and my aunt borrow money to help me~"

"Oh, you kid, you're settling a score with your aunt!"

Although Mrs. Yuan said this, she was still quite satisfied in her heart. After all, the married girl couldn't help her mother's family with errands and get paid for it.

……

"what?"

"Sent to the state capital?"

Sheng Jiawui Ruixuan, Sheng Hong and Mrs. Wang who were focused on getting started were so shocked that they lost their voices. Everyone wanted to come to Bianjing, why did this son-in-law have to run outside?

The Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities has a high position. Why are you still not satisfied with such a good place? What is there to do in the state capital?

Yuan Wenshao looked at Hua Lan and looked at her, and in her pleading eyes, he could only smile helplessly, because he had clearly agreed on the carriage when he arrived that it would be up to her and her parents to explain.

But who can let himself be soft-hearted? That pitiful little appearance really makes people feel distressed.

"My father-in-law and my mother-in-law, to be honest, I will still be in my current position in the Military and Horse Division in another five years. After a few years of working abroad and accumulating some merits, I will be able to find a good job if I am transferred back to Beijing~"

After listening to his son-in-law's explanation, Sheng Hong finally understood. What he said made some sense. It was indeed not easy to get promoted in Beijing. But Mrs. Wang is a woman who doesn’t care about promotion. She only knows that her eldest daughter is leaving the capital and may not be able to see her again for several years, or even farther away...

Wang Ruofu didn't dare to think any more, and tears started to flow down his face. He stood up in excitement and came over to hold his daughter's hand.

Choking with sobs, she said: "Hua'er, can't we just go if we don't go? Why don't we just stay down-to-earth?"

"Mother, this... this, I..."

Hua Lan is also suffering beyond words. She also wants to live a down-to-earth life, but there are really many troubles in this Earl's Mansion.

Of course, these are nothing, and it will be over after a while, but now he wants to snatch his son away, how can this be done?

As for Sheng Hong, except when he was dealing with Lin Xiaoniang, his brain was a little bit smart, he was still very wise at other times, otherwise he wouldn't be able to survive today.

Seeing the eldest lady crying, she came over and patiently advised her.

"Okay, madam, good men are everywhere. Didn't I work as a local official in Yangzhou before? If I were in the capital, I would still be in the eighth rank by now. How could I be the current Cheng Zhilang~"

"But... yes, I can't bear to leave Hua'er. The family finally reunited in Beijing, and now they have to be separated again~"

"Mother, I can't bear to leave you either!"

Seeing the mother and daughter hugging each other and crying, Yuan Wenshao looked a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. He could only look at his old father-in-law, meaning to ask him to take action.

Sheng Hong always valued face the most, so he made an excuse when he saw this.

"Madam, take Hua'er to the old lady's house and tell mother about this. Zhongxuan and I have something to talk about!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang, who was crying, quickly reached out to wipe her tears, picked up her daughter and walked out in a hurry.

He also said: "Hua'er, your father is right, you have to tell your grandmother, she usually loves you the most~"

"Alas~" Sheng Hong looked at his wife's back as she hurried out and let out a deep sigh.

Then he came to his senses and turned to his son-in-law and coughed.

"cough!"

"Zhongxuan, since you have such an ambition, as the father-in-law, I naturally support it, but there are some things that need to be explained. Although the interpersonal relationships in the state capital are not as complicated as those in the capital, one can easily offend others if they are not handled well. ~"

"Father-in-law, please enlighten me!" Yuan Wenshao stood up and bowed his hands in salute, without any trace of impatience on his face.

Because he knew that these were valuable experiences, Lao Sheng was very stubborn in the officialdom and did not offend anyone. None of his colleagues who were officials with him said anything bad.

It can be seen that this old father-in-law still has some skills. He knows what he wants very well and does not have any lofty ideals.

He had never thought about being the Prime Minister, the highest honor among civil servants. His biggest goal was to live up to his official career as a silver-green Guanglu doctor and get over the addiction of wearing a scarlet robe.

After working in the local area for so many years, it was definitely not in vain. If I could learn a thing or two, I would probably save a lot of effort.

Sheng Hong originally thought that the young man would be impatient with his words, but he didn't expect that his son-in-law would be so respectful and nodded with satisfaction.

Then he said without reservation: "Although the state capital has two systems of civil and military affairs, the state still has certain management authority over the Xiang army!"

"So after Zhongxuan takes office, you will not only have a good relationship with Shangguan, but also..."
