Late Tang

Shamen Town suddenly stands out, as if born out of nowhere.

It has only been less than three months since Shamen Garrison was upgraded to Shamen Town. This frontier garrison, which no one really paid attention to, suddenly rose up under everyone's noses.Li Jing, a country boy who had just been crowned, actually turned the country party children brought out from the village into a team of tigers and wolves in a short period of time.

Facing the one-eyed dragon pirates, beating the Daxiezhai fleet, and in front of everyone's eyes, facing tens of thousands of Fengzhang's army on Salmonella Island, and easily defeating the army, fighting against the always proud and domineering Fengzhang's head. .

Song Wen praised, Li Rui was startled, Cui Yunqing was surprised, Song Wei sighed, Feng Zhang was overwhelmed, Feng Xun was afraid, and Wang Jin was afraid.

How could Song Wei let go of such an elite soldier suddenly appearing under his command.In order to win over Li Jing, this time he not only tried his best to protect Li Jing, but also specially sent Li Jing's teacher Cui Yunqing as the person in charge of mediation.Not only that, after winning a series of benefits for Li Jing, Song Wen even gave Li Jing three more official positions in a row.

Scattered soldiers and horse envoys, Jiedu Yaya, Jiedu pioneers.

The nature of stragglers and cavalry envoys is the same as that of the imperial court's scattered ranks, both of which are only to show their rank.The difference is that the scattered officials of the imperial court used to be very authoritative, but now, the feudal towns appoint a large number of official positions themselves, and the feudal towns must also have their own ranks.As for envoys such as Jiedu envoys, soldiers and horse envoys, etc., in fact, they were only temporary dispatches. These have no rank, and these envoys must have their own posts.For this reason, a set of high-ranking officials was gradually formed within the feudal town.

Li Jing has only one job, and that is the town general of Shamen Town.Now that he has officially entered the middle and high levels of Ziqing Town, it is inevitable to have a clear grade.Before that, he was a casual general, but this time he was directly promoted to a few ranks, and was promoted to a scattered soldier.It is only one step away from the soldiers and horses, adding a scattered character, which shows that Li Jing is now in the same rank as the soldiers and horses, and enjoys the same level of treatment as the soldiers and horses.

Jiedu Yaya, this is a very important position.Yaya's original intention is to be the closest and most trustworthy bodyguard of Jie Shuai.Up to now, the yamen are generally held by the juniors of civil servants, who are officers in the bodyguards.Those who hold this position are all people trusted by Jieshuai.Under normal circumstances, Yamen is also called Yamen. Later, because most of the people who hold this position are the children of civil servants and generals, it is gradually extended to mean dandy.But at this time, Ya Nei was the exclusive title of the Jiedu Yamen.Their status is equivalent to that of the Imperial Guard officers around the emperor, and the three guards of Yiwei, Qinwei, and Xunwei in the Imperial Army in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.The three guards of the imperial court have the lowest rank of eight, the highest rank of seven, and their status is very high.The same is true for the Yaya in the feudal town, basically they are the future generals of the town.

Li Jing was in Dengzhou, but Song Wei gave him the important position of Jiedu Yaya, which was actually a public expression of his appreciation to Li Jing.It is impossible for Li Jing to go to Qingzhou to guard Song Wei, this position is also a special honorary title, just like some court generals are conferred by the emperor as a general of the Jinwu Guard, they do not receive specific duties, but enjoy their glory.

As for the position of Jiedu Pioneer, there is only one word difference from Jiedu Pioneer Envoy.But one word is missing, but the specific rights are very different.In Li Jing's view, the Jiedu vanguard envoy is the general who commands the vanguard.As for the Jiedu Pioneer, it is almost the same as the double bonus red stick of the gang, at most it is just a stronger thug.

However, he also knew that his qualifications were low now. Song Wei immediately gave him two important positions in the commander's office, Jiedu Yaya and Jiedu Pioneer, as an addition, which already expressed his great appreciation and value for him.

After looking at the stack of complaints in his hand, Li Jing's current official titles are added together, namely, the Jiedu Pioneer of the Pinglu Army in Ziqing Town, the Jiedu Yaya, the Guerrilla General, the Captain of Shangqi, and the Skirmisher. The deputy envoy of Daxie Village in Dengzhou, the town general of Shamen Town and the camp field of Shamen Town joined the army.This long official title can be embroidered on his official title banner in the future.

Li Jing is still very satisfied with this long list of official positions. Not only was he promoted to a fifth-rank official position and put on a scarlet official robe, he became a real general and wore a whitebait bag and whitebait.Moreover, the territory in his hands has now expanded by more than ten times, and the number of soldiers has also expanded by more than six times.And now it can be regarded as a real account in front of the Jiedu Envoy, and after adding the two positions of Jiedu Yaya and Jiedu Pioneer, he will really set foot on the same boat with Song Wei in the future, and work together. In and out.

Dengzhou Prison City Envoy Han Zhong was the first to stand up and laughed loudly: "Congratulations, Brother Ji Yu, the name will be changed to Li Ya Nei in the future. Ya Nei has suddenly become a celebrity in front of the commander-in-chief. In the future, he must remember his brother more. A few, remember to say a few nice words in front of Jieshuai."

Han Zhong and others followed Cui Yunqing and fell to Song Wei. Although they also got some titles, no one got the two honors of Yamen and Pioneer at once like Li Jing.

Originally, Li Jing sued for such an important position because he should personally go to Qingzhou to receive the official position. However, considering the current situation in Daxie Village, Song Wei finally asked Cui Yunqing to bring the official uniform and official seal to sue, so he was not needed. Go to Qingzhou again.

Li Jing immediately went to the side room to change into a brand new official uniform. He is now a fifth-rank official, and the official uniform he was wearing finally got rid of the light green and dark green, and directly put on the scarlet robe.Although the color of the scarlet robe is slightly lighter than that of the fourth-rank official, it is still a member of the scarlet robe anyway.In particular, there is a silver fish bag on the waist, which contains a silver fish charm.This fish bag and fish charm can only be equipped by officials of the fifth rank, and there are goldfish bags and gold fish charms above.

Li Huier personally helped him put on the official uniform. It was originally two maids in King Zhao's villa. At some point, the princess ran in. Regardless of the difference between men and women, she helped Li Jing change the official robe with a smile. .

Facing the slightly smug young man in the bronze mirror, Li Jing smiled slightly. The scarlet official robes have already been put on. Will the purple official robes be far behind?

After returning to the lobby, Cui Yunqing gave Feng Zhang a promotion award on behalf of Song Wei.Since Feng Zhang was "ill," Feng Xun accepted it on his behalf.The so-called giving a sweet date with a stick, this time Feng Zhang was hit so hard that he almost couldn't get up.Although Feng Zhang himself admitted the crimes Li Jing accused him of, but at this time, instead of punishing him, he was rewarded.

Things are so wonderful, at this time in the late Tang Dynasty, no matter how big a mistake you make, as long as you have soldiers and horses in your hands, usually nothing will happen.

Song Wei added Fengzhang to the military envoy of the left wing, promoted three ranks in the official rank of the envoy, surpassed the envoy of the right wing and the envoy of the left wing, and was promoted from the envoy of the army to the envoy of Duzhi make.But this is just an honorary title. Although he has been promoted to be a soldier and horse envoy, he has no actual authority. In addition, Song Wei also awarded him the Wusan rank of General Mingwei, who is under the fourth rank.Feng Xun also got a benefit and was awarded the rank of guerrilla general.

However, compared with Li Jing's reward, this kind of reward seems a bit shabby.After the announcement of all the rewards, Li Jing and Feng Xun stepped forward to sign their names on the mediation agreement.The moment the names were signed, the war started by Li Jing had come to an end.In Wang Jingwen's words, if someone wants to take the opportunity to provoke trouble, they will be attacked by all parties.Although Li Jing didn't believe this, but now it was time for him to eat and drink and hide in a low-key way to digest, so naturally he would not object.

Wang Jingwen hurried away with Feng Xun, Wang Jin and others, unwilling to stay for a moment longer.On the way back, Wang Jingwen directly called Wang Jin into his carriage, leaving Feng Xun alone at the door of the villa, somewhat dazed and helpless.

On the carriage, Wang Jin asked in a puzzled way: "Song Wei and Cui Yunqing have really gone too far this time. They are clearly protecting Li Jing and giving him benefits everywhere. Why do you see Feng Zhang being bullied to such an extent by them?" , but don't help him, and let him be beaten by others?"

Wang Jingwen twirled the beard under his jaw, and sighed: "The Feng family has gradually gained power over the years, and there is a faint desire to break away from our control. Especially this Fengzhang, who has been relying on the control of Dengzhou Port and maritime trade routes. , holding a lot of money in his hands, not only the money handed in every year is getting less and less, but also constantly expanding the army. Look at the 2 horses and nearly [-] warships before being beaten by Li Jing. You are also in Dengzhou Haihai, but his strength is only half of his. Fengzhang's expansion is too inflated, and they can't see their own identities clearly."

"It doesn't matter if Li Jing beat him up this time, at least after Feng Zhang lost half of his fleet, he finally knew to ask us for help, knowing that we were still his masters. If Li Jing didn't beat him, he would have a life with us Two-hearted. Now Li Jing's beating has woken him up, and he has taken the initiative to move closer to us. Therefore, this time, I actually watched Cui Yunqing and the others deal with him on purpose, in order to teach him a lesson .If he gets ruthless by them, the closer he will be to us, the more he will hate Song Wei, Cui Yunqing, Li Jing and others in the future. A good award is a good award that can be controlled by us. As for him Being bullied, no matter what to do."

Wang Jin looked at Wang Jingwen in amazement, greatly admiring. "However, this Li Jing is expanding much faster than Feng Zhang did at the beginning. It took ten years for Feng Zhang to become what he is today. But Li Jing defeated Feng Zhang, who had accumulated strength for ten years, in less than half a year. , this kid must be a serious problem."

"Don't act rashly, things have to be done step by step. Li Jing just kept staring at Feng Zhang, found Feng Zhang made a mistake, and then made a few moves one after another to completely disable Feng Zhang, who was far stronger than him, making Feng Zhang He lost the threat to him. Li Jing is not an easy kid, you have to learn from him, to be a poisonous snake in the grass, just not moving, moving like a thunder, to deal a fatal blow to the enemy. Now, we Lay down first, let's watch Li Jing proud, he will always make mistakes. Before that, we just need to wait, as soon as the opportunity arises, we will kill this arrogant kid with a single blow." Wang Jingwen tweeted Squinting his eyes, his gaze was as dangerous as a poisonous snake, and he said coldly.

"Li Jing's swelling is too fast, and he doesn't look like a young man in his early twenties at all. There are not many ordinary people who can do what he does, but there are very few people like him who have the current state of mind But there are still not many people who have changed. I only worry that after a long time, with long nights and dreams, he will really be uncontrollable." Wang Jin always has some resentment towards Li Jing.So far, Li Jing is the only one who has been able to rob and blackmail him, but has made him unable to retaliate.

In Danya villa, Cui Yunqing talked with Li Jing alone.A pair of teachers and students have not seen each other for a long time, and they always feel that they have endless words these days.Especially after the goodbye this time, Li Jing felt that Cui Yunqing had a little more enthusiasm for him than before, and he faintly felt that this had something to do with the power he displayed now.

Cui Yunqing personally poured a cup of tea for Li Jing, and after pondering for a long time, she suddenly said: "Ji Yu, if I let you lead your troops back to Qingzhou with me, would you be willing?"

"I am willing!" Li Jing replied without hesitation. He guessed that this might be Cui Yunqing's temptation to him, and wanted to see if he still obeyed him as before.Cui Yunqing really smiled when she heard this.He hesitated for a moment and said: "I'm not going to hide anything from you. Although Song Jieshuai has received the support of many sub-state soldiers and county town soldiers under the prefectures and counties of Ziqing Town, he has been unable to solve Wang Jingwu's problem at all. Qingzhou dental soldiers. Recently, Song Jieshuai and I have controlled the Qingzhou united soldiers and formed a 8000-person army battalion. There are [-] troops in total, which is nearly the same as Wang Jingwu's [-] dental soldiers. Song Jieshuai did not want to endure Wang Jingwu's confrontation. I want to fight for ever, but I am always worried about the strength of the united soldiers and the pro-barracks. This time you performed very well and played very well. I think, if you go to Qingzhou with me, maybe It can completely eliminate Wang Jingwu."

Li Jing smiled bitterly, he understood that this was definitely not Cui Yunqing's real thoughts.Because Cui Yunqing is not stupid, given the tense situation between Jieshuai Mansion and Yajun, Li Jing led his troops westward at this time, wouldn't that really force Wang Jingwu to jump over the wall and rebel?

"I am a student of the teacher, and now I have just been awarded the positions of Jiedu Administer and Jiedu Pioneer by the Jieshuai. Previously, if the students marched westward to Qingzhou, Wang Jingwu probably would not have much reaction. But after this battle, the Shamen town army has a small reputation. If they march westward at this time, Wang Jingwu may be forced to rebel immediately. By then, our army may not have When we arrived in Qingzhou, Jie Shuai was already controlled by Wang Jingwu, which actually hurt Jie Shuai."

"Then what do you think should be done?" Cui Yunqing's expression remained unchanged.

"Students think that there is no shortage of Jieshuai now, what is lacking is elite soldiers and horses. The so-called elites only need sufficient food, equipment and training, and then elite soldiers can be formed. The students fought against Feng Zhang before, and they got a batch of money, food and military equipment. Take it out and dedicate it to Jieshuai and the teacher. I believe that only after enough money, food and armaments, with more time, with the reputation of Jieshuai as a veteran of hundreds of battles, he will be able to train an elite and strong army. At that time, Wang Jingwu need not worry about you." Li Jing is Naturally, she didn't want to go to Qingzhou, and Cui Yunqing didn't necessarily want Li Jing to go to Qingzhou.After all, he probably still benefits.Song Weigang helped him a lot, now it's time for him to repay.

However, Li Jing didn't care too much about some money and food. Shamen Town is still not short of money and food. If some money and food can be exchanged for Song Wei's continued spare no effort to help, it will be worth it.

Cui Yunqing pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "How much food and equipment can you spend?"

Li Jing thought for a while, and finally said: "One hundred thousand coins, plus ten thousand stones of grain, plus three hundred pairs of iron armor, five hundred pairs of leather armor, one thousand long spears, one thousand horizontal knives, one thousand shields, and three hundred crossbows. , [-] bows, [-] arrows." Gritting his teeth, Li Jing also bled profusely.

Cui Yunqing finally had a smile on her face, "I want you to burn Feng Zhangzhou's magic fire, five hundred cans."

"This thing doesn't do much damage on land, and the students don't have much in stock. They can only take out a hundred cans at most for Jie Shuai and the teacher." He was still not satisfied with a lot of weapons, and he wanted five hundred cans of divine fire as soon as he opened his mouth.If he took this thing to Qingnipu, he could directly exchange it for a thousand war horses.

Cui Yunqing saw that Li Jing didn't seem to be lying, so she nodded in satisfaction, "Then it's up to you a hundred cans, but you have to prepare all the weapons, money and food as soon as possible, and I will take them back in two days."

"The students have another gift for the teacher and Jieshuai. There are three hundred jars of Wuliangye wine, and there are several kinds of local products produced in the town. In addition, the students also prepared [-] jars for the teacher and Jieshuai each. Filial piety, the teacher just happened to take it back with me." I gave all the [-], and Li Jing didn't care about giving another [-].As long as there are these two mountains on top to protect Li Jing, these investments are worthwhile.

Cui Yunqing was a little surprised, "You took out so much money and food all at once, what should you do?"

"Students can turn around on their own, and the teacher's side is the most important."

Cui Yunqing was also very satisfied with such a filial student, and the worry in her heart that Li Jing would be disobedient if his wings were hardened was gone.He said earnestly and earnestly: "Ji Yu, you are too much in the limelight this time, so you should keep a low profile next time. The most important thing is to develop yourself with peace of mind. There are some things that you have to pay attention to. I heard that you fought with the people from Zhendonghai. Now these pirates are still stationed on your island, what is going on? This matter is inappropriate after all, and it will be very troublesome if it spreads."

"Teacher, Zhen Donghai has actually been secretly recruited by the students, but they haven't given their names publicly yet. The students are also considering that Jie Shuai and the teacher still have many opponents in Dengzhou. '"If they are sincerely willing to accept the recruitment, that would be a good thing. Later, you will ask the pirate leader to write a letter of allegiance, and I will take it back to Jie Shuai, who will give them an official position directly, and recruit them thoroughly, saving you money. There are other people talking about it. "

"Thank you teacher." Li Jing thanked quickly.

After this talk, the relationship between the teacher and the student couldn't help but go further and become more intimate.
