Chapter 418: Someone Makes a Move on the Mercenaries
As soon as the word old was spoken, it could be seen that Yingzong's face instantly turned a lot greener, "Cough, how can Kuang Aiqing say that he is old?" If you are healthy, you will be very good. Didn't you let Aiqing take care of her body at home a while ago? I guess it's okay. ”
"Minister... The body is still a little uncomfortable, and Gaozhou Mansion is far away from Nanjing, so there is really no guarantee that he can get there quickly. Kuang Ye saw Zhu Qizhen mention his illness, and his face also felt a little guilty, and he felt pity, which made his heart soften. But considering that the journey was too far, for fear that he would make a mistake, he instinctively thought about refusing.
"It's okay, you can go by carriage all the way, and I'll arrange for the post stations along the way to be ready. In this way, Kuang Ye listened to the announcement. Zhu Qizhen was afraid that if he was holding on, Kuang Ye would find some excuse, so he said in an indistinguishable tone, "Kuang Ye, the secretary of the military department, is old enough to seek the country, and he is the humerus of me, so he will be crowned as the prince and the prince, and at the same time he will also serve as the secretary of the military department. ”
This is the official seal!
The prince and young master, that is, ranked among the three orphans, and at the same time ranked in the position of the first product, and also held the position of the secretary of the military department, it can be said that he holds the power again, and is definitely the mainstay of the court.
As soon as the official decree was announced, the other five important ministers were all envious, and the voices of congratulations were endless.
Under the holy decree, Kuang Ye was also moved.
Since the Ming Dynasty was divided into north and south, there was no first-class official above the court, and the cabinet was also removed. The six Shangshu became the first of the officials. He originally thought that he could keep this position, and he would be satisfied when he returned to his hometown. never thought that one day, he could be promoted to the crown prince and become an official from the first grade. Judging from such a position, he can definitely be called the head of a hundred officials, how can this glory not make people excited, how can it not be moving?
Moved, he fell to his knees with a thud, "The minister is too grateful for the grace of the encounter." The minister then went home to clean up and went to Guangdong, even if he fought this old bone, he had to say that he would be loyal and brave to do things for Nanming and retreat from the enemy for Nanming. ”
"Okay." Kuang Ye was so happy, Zhu Qizhen stood up very happily, "He is worthy of being a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty and the pillar of the country." In this way, Kwong Aiqing immediately packed up and went, and the others had to fully cooperate with everything they needed. In addition, what conditions are put forward by the loyal father, Aiqing can also approve them on my behalf. ”
"Obey." After Zhu Qizhen's words, Kuang Ye also had confidence in his heart and had more confidence in his trip to Guangdong.
Once faced with the saint, Kuang Ye added the title of prince and concubine, and regained the holy favor, and there was a lot of traffic outside Kuang's mansion, and there was an endless stream of ministers who came to congratulate, and there was a prosperous scene of his own. In contrast, the mercenary barracks outside Gaozhou were as quiet as usual.
After more than a month of training, all the cold fronts and auxiliary troops have taken turns to undergo several jungle warfare exercises, which has made them have more experience of how to fight in the jungle. From the initial completely passive beating to having the power to fight back, the conditioned reflex is formed, but whenever walking in the forest, the slightest situation is not right, everyone will instinctively make some defensive and ready offensive reactions.
"Yes, the military quality of these cold fronts is very high, and there are a lot of good seedlings among the auxiliaries, I'm afraid it won't be long before the elite cold front's team will be expanded." Yang Chendong looked at the results of the exercises sent by the various companies, nodded incessantly, and showed a very satisfied look.
Seeing that Yang Chendong was in a good mood, Hu Mang on the side hurriedly handed over the transcript of the temporary auxiliary soldier's study of the cultural class, "Young master, you are looking at this." ”
"Oh. It's the report card of the temporary auxiliaries, yes, there are so many of them who can hit sixty points, very good, very good. "Looking at this report card, although the knowledge tested is only the current second grade of primary school, it is not easy to achieve a passing score, which at least shows that the literacy in the cultural class is successful.
"Yes, not only the efforts of political commissars at all levels here, but also the two ladies have worked hard, some of them have already met the criteria for entering the auxiliary from temporary auxiliaries, and even close to the cold front soldiers, and now the loyalty has yet to be tested." Hu Mang reported what he learned to Yang Chendong one by one.
"Loyalty is indeed a problem, a person is powerful, no matter how strong the quality of an individual soldier is, if there is no loyalty, the bigger and stronger, the easier it is to rebel. Tell the political commissars that they should pay special attention and attention to this point in their assessment. Yang Chendong nodded in agreement.
"Yes, what the young master said is that these people have not been to Chiji City, and some work is not easy to carry out, after all, whether these people have spies from other parties cannot be completely figured out, and now is not the time to announce the identity of the young master." Hu Mang said this with some distress. Soldiers who join the army in Chiji City usually don't have to think too much about loyalty. Not to mention anything else, the changes that can be seen by the eyes alone are enough for everyone to understand who to follow to live a good life.
When you and your family are living a good life and eating and drinking, you have to think about who brought them all this, why do you need to think about loyalty? And when some people proposed that they needed to join the army in order to defend their homeland and defend the fruits of victory from being violated by others, the courage to enlist in the army had already reached more than 90 percent of the young people. In addition, the treatment that one person can enjoy as a soldier is enough to feed a family of five without worrying about food and drink. Once you reach the age and need to retire from active service, you will be assigned to an enviable job, even those who were injured on the battlefield, once they return to the place, they are still hot talents.
Under all kinds of preferential treatment, why worry about the problem of military resources? Why worry about what kind of rebellion and anti-will these people will have?
But in Daming's territory, it's different, some people haven't figured out the foundation? Even if you brainwash such a person, I'm afraid you won't be able to meet the best requirements. Such a person, if they know too much, they will be exposed more, if Yang Chendong's identity is exposed because of this, wouldn't it be a big problem? At least the safety of the family members in the northern capital has become the most worrying thing.
"The details must be carefully checked, and for those who cannot be completely determined, they can consider persuading them to retire and let them leave the team of temporary auxiliaries. In short, if there is a trace of uncertainty, it cannot be used, let alone reused. Yang Chendong nodded, why didn't he know what kind of consequences would he have if his current identity was exposed? I'm afraid that at that time, even if I don't rebel, others will say that I am opposed.
It's good not to be a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, what are you doing when you suddenly feed so many troops? I'm afraid that it has really become Sima Zhao's heart, and passers-by know it.
It's just that a lot of times, when you're really afraid, you can come to anything. Just when Yang Chendong and Hu Mang were discussing the issue of the loyalty of the temporary auxiliary soldiers, Yang San, the deputy director of the Security Bureau, hurriedly found him.
Running over out of breath, Yang San's appearance made Yang Chendong feel extremely bad.
It is said that Yang San's personal quality is also good, under normal circumstances, even if he runs ten kilometers, he will not be out of breath, but now he has such a performance, which seems to only mean one problem, that is, something big has really happened.
"Young master, things are not good, we have an auxiliary brother who has been arrested." Sure enough, as soon as Yang San stood firm, a very bad news came out of his mouth.
"What's going on?" Yang Chendong asked with an unkind face.
"That's the case...", Yang San's mouth then gave a short report on what happened.
The person who was arrested was Liu Jian, a platoon commander in the auxiliary battalion who had just been promoted. He is a soldier who enlisted in Qishan on Ryukyu Island, his whole life is in Qishan, his foundation is very clean, and the guy is also very motivated, he learns everything quickly, and it didn't take long to become the squad leader of the auxiliary squad, and a while ago he was promoted to the auxiliary platoon commander because of his good performance.
Under normal circumstances, a person who can become an auxiliary platoon commander is equivalent to having the qualifications to enter the cold front, and what is missing is just an opportunity for assessment. This time, the auxiliary corps rotated to train jungle warfare, and Liu Jian's performance was also very outstanding. After the training results reached the standard, the battalion commander above gave everyone a holiday and allowed everyone to enter the nearby Gaozhou Mansion to have a walk.
Liu Jian also took leave to go to the city with five comrades-in-arms, which is also one of the military regulations, and soldiers are not allowed to enter the city alone, in order to prevent accidents. And once there are five people together, if there is really a situation, there is more or less a response, and the probability of an accident is reduced to the lowest point.
Originally, Liu Jian and his entourage had been together since they entered the city. But later, when he met a rouge shop, Liu Jian thought that he should buy some things back to his newlywed wife in Qishan, and heard that some things in the Central Plains were of good quality, so he wanted to go in and have a look. But this move was indeed rejected by several other comrades-in-arms, and they all smiled and said that this rouge shop is only for women, and it is really embarrassing for big men to go in.
The others didn't want to go with him, so Liu Jian entered the shop called Song's Rouge by himself, and asked the other four to wait outside the door for a while. But when he entered, there was no news, and it was not until more than a quarter of an hour passed that the four comrades-in-arms felt that something was wrong, so they entered together, but they didn't see Liu Jian inside.
The auxiliary soldiers, who felt that the matter was important, left two people staring outside the rouge shop, and the other two quickly went out of the city to the barracks to report, and Yang San asked Yang Chendong for instructions as soon as he got the news.
