Devil’s Advent

Uncle Hirano returned to his Xueguan, and returned to his soldiers and civilians, the soldiers and civilians cheered;

Although the princess who came back together sat in the carriage when entering the city and did not show up, the description of the princess has been widely circulated among the soldiers and civilians of Xuehai Customs.

The princess, what a noble existence, and different from the princess of the Yu family in Jin, the decline of the Jin emperor's line has caused the women of the royal line to be worthless. The children of the family, of course, are not worthy of the children of the direct line.

As for the Weng Lord and the County Lord of the Yu family and other noble ladies below the princess, life in their families is often very difficult. The difficulty lies in maintaining the dignity of the royal family while facing the hardships of life. So, it was embarrassing.

This directly led to many royal families of the Yu clan, such as the prince's mansion, the duke's mansion, and the marquis' mansion, etc., to "sell" the women of the right age in their own clan with a price tag as a betrothal gift.

At that time, even wealthy gentry and merchants in the Jin region could marry a royal daughter in the "guimen" family in the Gyeonggi region as long as they had enough money, so as to elevate their family's lintel and make themselves noble.

Anything that can be bought with silver money has a price, and once the price is set, the halo on her body will fade away, which directly leads to the fact that Jindi's The common people have long since given up on the so-called noble ladies.

But on this day, when faced with the fact that his uncle brought the princess of Chu, the soldiers and civilians of Xuehai Customs all had proud smiles of honor on their faces.

"So, even if a woman is married and obeys her husband, if she wants to live a decent life, she still has to rely on the support of her natal family."

Zuo Jiqian sat by the window of the restaurant and looked at the crowd below, and he sighed.

It is obvious that he came out for treason, but precisely because Da Chu is still Da Chu, his status is still maintained.

In this sigh, Zuo Jiqian still sighed to himself, thinking that back then, the Zuo family was also a noble family, and he was kneeling in front of Jingnan Hou with Uncle Zheng.

At that time, I was equal to Uncle Zheng, even vaguely higher than him, and he was on the defensive, but he was obviously more promising.

It's just a trick,

A horse stepped on the gate valve,

He Zuo Jiqian was directly reduced to a prisoner, and he was sent directly from the guard to a prisoner. He was locked in a cage like an animal and was put up for sale;

Even, he was not sold well, because no other guards were willing to take him, fearing that he would be a thorn, and there was a Zuo family around him, whoever took it in would become a small hill.

In the end, Uncle Zheng had a good appetite and asked for him.

Going around for the past few years,

From going south several times to Qianguo, then to Jinguo Gyeonggi, then Shengle, and now Xueguan, Zuo Jiqian witnessed Zheng Boye's rise.

Jealousy is long gone.

When a person is only a little better than you, you will envy him, but when that person is already in the sky and you are still on the earth, you can only look up.

Drinking today, Zuo Jiqian inevitably felt a little sad in view of the rainy season these days.

Jin Shuke squinted his eyes, and said: "Old Zuo, we are warriors, so we don't need such sour water. Today's excitement is nothing but because our uncle brought the princess back, and everyone in Xuehaiguan Shops have reduced prices for a limited time, just to have fun with the people.”

Zuo Jiqian smiled and didn't continue to be depressed.

Beside the table, not only Jin Shuke and Zuo Jiqian were sitting, but there were four other people.

One is Gao Yi, the captain of the Thousand Riding School, who was sent as a gift by the Marquis of Jingnan in Shengle;

One is Ding Hao who followed Uncle Zheng early, and the other two are Brother Ke Yandong and Xu Youcheng.

During the few months when Zheng Fan entered Chu, Xiazi and Liang Cheng redistributed and adjusted the military and civilian system of Xueguan. The purpose was to adapt measures to local conditions and meet the needs of the future development of Xueguan.

Five people make up a troop, ten people make up a troop, a hundred people make up a centurion, and above that, three centurions make up a mark.

Five marks are a battalion, and above that, it is a town.

Jin Shuke, as a guerrilla general, leads the second town and has three battalions of soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction.

Brother Ke Yandong, a guerrilla general, leads the third town and has three battalions of soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction.

Both Jin Shuke and Ke Yandong are barbarians, and the Ke Yan tribe is the one with the most combat power of the tribes received by Xueguan recently. In addition, most of the barbarians originally under Zheng Fan's command were taken over by these tribes. The two were divided.

Jin Shu is his own, and he needs to use his identity as a barbarian to suppress Ke Yandong's influence in the Keyan tribe.

Ding Hao is a general, leading the fourth town, and has two battalions under his jurisdiction. He is responsible for the defense of Xueguan city. Ding Hao was the master of Zheng Boye before, and he is the first batch of old people to join. He will be in charge of the city defense of Xueguan , can be reassuring.

Zuo Jiqian was a guerrilla general, led the fifth town, and had two battalions under his jurisdiction. His subordinates were mainly the Yan people who were punished in the early days and the Yan people who were absorbed in the later period.

Xu Youcheng became a general, led the sixth town, and had three battalions under his command, mainly Jin soldiers.

Gao Yi is a guerrilla general who leads the seventh town and has a battalion under his jurisdiction.

The first town is vacant and has not yet been established. The generals speculate that it is reserved for the uncle.

It's just that there are only so many soldiers in Xueguan now. If we set up a single most elite first town, and then recruit elites from the other six towns to fill it, then the other six towns will not be able to stand up. Therefore, The first town is left blank first.

There were three battalions in the second town, three battalions in the third town, two battalions in the fourth town, two battalions in the fifth town, three battalions in the sixth town, and one battalion in the seventh town.

At the same time, each standard (300 people) is a gathering unit, not only on the battlefield, but also in daily life. The group formed by these 300 soldiers is also a local-level unit. Their wives, children, and parents also They are all settled with a certain standard, which is equivalent to so many groups in later generations, or several teams and small teams in earlier times.

When the battle started, Uncle Hirano ordered the soldiers to gather, and then the leader was responsible for organizing the 300 soldiers in his own standard to gather in armor and horses.

After the war ended, except for the seventh town led by Gao Yi as the personal guard battalion of Uncle Zheng, and the fourth town led by Ding Hao, which needed to undertake the important tasks of city defense, the soldiers and horses of the other towns, except for the gathering training, the other At that time, they can return to their respective standards for production activities.

In this way, the burden on the Earl's Mansion can be greatly reduced, and at the same time, the labor force can be liberated for production.

Of course, this also has a side effect. Once this kind of military system is in peace for a long time, it will easily degenerate. See the military households of the Ming Dynasty and the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty in another time and space, but there is no need to worry about this problem for the time being, because there are The savages, with the people of Chu in the south, will not worry about no battles in the next few decades. As long as they keep fighting, they will not be able to degenerate.

Because of Zheng Fan's super authority in the army and the influence of his personality cult, coupled with the blind man's methods and Liang Cheng's suppression, the army restructuring went smoothly.

Hiranobo Mansion will have a certain amount of money and food subsidies every month for the household registration within the bid, and there will be benefits during the festivals. This is the treatment that the people outside the bid do not have. This kind of differential treatment will make the people extremely reluctant value;

Entering the bid is equivalent to entering the household registration, and the unequal treatment makes people outside extremely jealous and eager to join, just like the household registration in big cities in later generations.

After the establishment of this system, many bachelors in the military were instantly matched, and then they got married quickly, which seemed to mean getting a green card by marriage.

For the rest of the family who do not have women of the right age, or who are unwilling to use this method to enter the bid, they can enter the civilian husband's camp and the auxiliary barracks during the next call-up, and rely on military merit to qualify for the bid.

As for the income of the bidders, one part is the money and food that the Earl's Mansion distributes every month, and the other is their own labor production, such as the bidders under the command of Jin Shuke and Ke Yandong. Those barbarians can graze when they are not fighting. Snow grazing in Snow Customs;

But the biggest income still comes from the dividends brought by the war. If you want the whole family to live a good life, you have to rely on the men in the family to fight desperately on the battlefield.

In short,

The blind man is very satisfied with his military system reform,

In his opinion,

He has transformed Snow Customs into a fledgling war machine.

now it,

Very eager for war, and also eager for foreign plunder, just a cub waiting to be fed.

Every demon king has his own preferences,

Liang Cheng likes to lead soldiers, Si Niang likes to train princesses and princesses and Liu Ruqing with unique styles, San'er likes craftsman work, Ah Ming likes to taste all kinds of fresh blood in the ice cellar,

Fan Li likes to take a walk after dinner with the maidservant sword on his shoulder.

Even magic pills,

There are also children.

and the blind man,

What he likes is this kind of change and transformation. It can be said that in his bones, there is this kind of gene that does not like stability. He is also recognized by the devil kings as the one who is most obsessed with rebellion.

We are all adults,

We all know that life sometimes needs to bow our heads, such as kneeling and licking the Lord;

But they also know that under the premise of the same general direction, they should not lose their own happiness and quality of life to find and harvest their own.

"Okay, don't drink too much." Ding Hao said, "It's not good to go to see uncle later, smelling of alcohol."

Everyone heard the words and silently put down their wine glasses.

Jin Shuke looked at the time and said, "It's almost there, let's enter the mansion."

Everyone rose,

Then, almost as a habit, they began to check their own armors,

Uncle Zheng likes to pay attention to details, and likes the beauty of order. Everyone knows this.

after all,

As long as it is not a fool or a person who is really completely hopeless,

Then you won't really be indifferent to your own preferences for climbing the peak.

Ding Hao looked around,

"Is everything sorted out?"

Everyone nodded.

"Okay, when you report your new official position and errands later, you should pay attention to the rhythm, don't rush, the final unison, the beat must be on one point, including the final movement of drawing the knife and sticking the oath on the ground, it must be neat. "

Jin Shu was a little worried and said:

"How about, let's not rush down and practice here twice first?"

no objection,

Everyone felt it was necessary.

Ding Hao is the earliest member of the family. Zuo Jiqian can only rely on Zheng Fan because the Zuo family is gone. Jinshu is an absolute hardcore. Brother Ke Yandong is also very docile because Jingnan Hou pulled out the thorn in advance, Gao Yi Although he was born in the Jingnan Army, he also developed after Zheng Fan. Xu Youcheng was originally a descendant of the Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, everyone is naturally paying special attention to how to make "Uncle Zheng" happy and satisfied.

so,

When Xiao Er came up to ask the adults if they wanted more wine, he saw the following scene:

A group of generals, facing an empty chair, knelt down one by one to salute and announce their family, then solemnly drew their knives and stabbed them into the floor!

...

"Sister, it's hard."

Xiong Liqing looked at the thick account book in front of her, with a sad face, and said to Si Niang:

"Sister, isn't it good to just be a vase?"

Yue Xin, who was sitting next to her, covered her mouth and smiled.

Xiong Liqing knew that she was a blind daughter-in-law, so she said to her: "Sister Yuexin, don't you think this kind of work is hard and trivial?"

Yue Xin shook her head, and said: "If you can help the men share a little bit, the men will be able to relax a little bit. Besides, we are family members, so if we do it ourselves, it will be much more convenient."

The princess pouted, looking at the abacus in front of her, full of sadness.

Yue Xin said, "It's very lively in the city today."

To celebrate Uncle Hirano's return with the princess, all shops in the city began to offer discounts for a limited time.

This is all Si Niang's arrangement.

The princess said to Si Niang: "Sister, thank you, you are so kind to me."

Si Niang shook her head and said: "It's still profitable to make a discount. The weather is getting hotter, the caravan outside will be coming soon, the cattle and sheep on the snowy field will be fattened up, and the workshop will start. Yes, a new batch of goods is coming soon, so naturally we have to take this opportunity to stock up."

"………"Princess.

"From now on, we can do this activity every year on this day," Siniang said.

Xiong Liqing bit her lip and said, "I can't let him go out and snatch a princess back next year, can I?"

"Anniversary, the first anniversary, the second anniversary, the third anniversary of snatching back the princess, as long as there are discounts and promotions, it's hard to find the reason?"

Si Niang put down her pen and said to Yue Xin, "Teach her again."

"Yes, Sister Feng."

Si Niang looked at Xiong Liqing again, and said: "You have to learn to manage some things, besides, you are very smart, these few years, you can rely on me to make his blood swell, wait a few more years?

What if the state of Chu disappears in the next year?

Men, with this virtue, they like the new and dislike the old very much. "

"Yes, sister knows."

"Well, you guys continue to reconcile this account again, and I'm going to rest."

Yue Xin said: "Sister Feng seems to be very sleepy when she comes back this time."

"Sleep is always the best way to heal."

After Si Niang left, the princess looked at Yue Xin and said:

"Sister Yuexin, can you tell me how you and Mr. Bei met?"

Yuexin lowered her head and remembered the account while saying:

"Same as you."

"same as me?"

"Well, it was snatched back."

When Zheng Fan's tribe entered Chuzhou City, Wen Sutong was forced to put on Dayan's official hat by a blind man. In the end, Wen Sutong had to completely surrender to the Yan people and betroth his granddaughter.

Strictly speaking, Yuexin was indeed "robbed" back.

The princess pointed her chin and said:

"Does their family have a tradition of robbing people?"

Yuexin nodded,

road:

"I don't have enough rice in my bowl, so I have to grab it."

"That seems to make sense."

Yue Xin smiled and said, "My husband said it."

"show off."

"Um?"

"That's what my husband said."

...

At this time,

Uncle Zheng is listening to music in Liu Ruqing's courtyard.

Qu'er is a local song from Chudi, with a strong Chudi accent and long sound in the babbling, but Uncle Zheng couldn't understand it.

but it doesn't matter,

The person who sings the song is beautiful.

In addition to those long sounds, in Uncle Zheng's ears, almost all of them were transformed into "Uncle Hey~~"

sing a song

Uncle Zheng lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

Liu Ruqing was a little embarrassed and said: "Uncle, forgive me, I can't sing well."

Uncle Zheng pointed down,

road:

"Look, it's very well sung."

Liu Ruqing blushed immediately, turned her face away, and shouted:

"Uncle hey~~~"

Zheng Fan didn't know if this woman was used to this name, or if she thought she liked it so much that she continued to use it after entering the mansion.

But it is undeniable that every time she yelled this tone, Uncle Zheng felt like ice cubes swimming all over his body in summer, numb and jittery.

Therefore, sometimes Uncle Zheng couldn't help flirting on purpose, just to see her shyly shout that.

However, for the time being, it is limited to this.

Siniang's injury hasn't healed yet, and it will take some time, but since Siniang said she wants a child, he naturally has to wait. He feels that he is not a stallion, and he has never thought about the three thousand beauties in the harem. But at home, it's also quite interesting to have a taste and play with this tune.

Counting the days, the butcher's daughter-in-law of Little Six is ​​about to give birth, right?

Xiao Yibo came over at this time, stood at the door of the small courtyard and said:

"Uncle, the generals have arrived."

Uncle Zheng nodded and said:

"knew."

After getting up and bidding farewell to Liu Ruqing, Uncle Zheng walked towards the Zhongzhai, where guests and discussions were held.

During the period when I entered Chu, the military system of Xueguan was changed. Generally speaking, if someone else is the master, if the subordinates dare to do this when I am not around, it must be the biggest rebellion, but There is no such conflict between Uncle Zheng and the Demon King.

The most comfortable thing in this world is that you have a group of subordinates with outstanding abilities, and even more comfortable, you don't have to worry about them rebelling.

call them,

It's just his routine appearance, the mascot has a sense of presence, and at the same time, he ordered to prepare for the military parade in three days.

Liang Cheng had been waiting for a long time. As the deputy commander, he must be present at this time. Fan Li stood behind Liang Cheng and waited together.

"Isn't your lord wearing armor?" Liang Cheng asked.

"It's too troublesome. I don't want to wear it. I'm at my own house, so I'll be casual. I don't plan to go out anyway."

However,

Uncle Zheng had just walked into the hall of the Zhongzhai, and the generals had not had time to salute Zheng Fan, and the gold technique hadn't been used in the previous rehearsal.

A messenger soldier ran in at the gate of the Earl's Mansion,

shouted:

"Xuanzhi's imperial envoy has arrived!"

Although everyone's rehearsals haven't had time to be used, but there is a smile on everyone's face because everyone understands that this purpose must be a reward.

Entering Chu to snatch back the princess, although he didn't attack the city and plunder the village, it was definitely a great achievement, but it was exciting, and it was impossible for His Majesty not to reward him.

Uncle Zheng was not so happy, frowning, he had a vague feeling, because the imperial envoy Xuanzhi didn't send someone to say hello in advance, but he didn't know until they arrived at Xuehaiguan boundary. It means that this proclaiming team must have galloped without any delay.

If it's just a simple reward, why are you in such a hurry?

Seeing Zheng Fan frowned, Liang Cheng said, "It must be a good thing for the Lord to be relieved."

Uncle Zheng sighed.

road:

"When you say that, I panic even more."

Liang Cheng didn't know what to say for a while.

Uncle Zheng said: "Ah Cheng, do you think we can learn from the Marquis of Jingnan, close the door of our house, and let the imperial envoy wrap a layer of paste on the stone lion at the entrance of the Earl's Mansion?"

"I'll go."

Fan Li turned around holding the ax and wanted to go out.

Uncle Zheng held his forehead,

road:

"Pull that idiot back."

immediately,

Uncle Zheng waved his hand again,

road:

"Order to go down and meet the imperial envoy."

Xiao Yibo on the side asked: "Uncle, do you want to go out of the city to meet him? Then we have to arrange soldiers and civilians to wait outside the city now."

Xiao Yibo remembered that the last time when Xuanzhi's imperial envoy came to canonize his master "Ping Ye Bo", his master went out of the city to personally receive the order, and gave the Xuanzhi eunuch a very solemn treatment.

Uncle Zheng glanced at Xiao Yibo angrily,

This glance made Xiao Yibo flustered for a moment, because it meant that he guessed wrongly what the master wanted, and that he, the big butler, failed to keep up with the master's rhythm.

Uncle Zheng sighed.

road:

"Don't mobilize the crowd to disturb the people at every turn, besides, why bother.

Just take a decree,

bember,

Just wait at home. "

—————

The sad news is that Long's schedule has collapsed again, but Long will try to keep it updated.
