If it is changed to the early years of the Ming Dynasty, this thousand is almost equivalent to a thousand households under Wei, but in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, there are many false titles and few real positions. Generally speaking, Mr. Qian needs at least a thousand households to take on it, and most of the time it is the Wei Commander who is in charge, and even the Wei Commander has to grab it.

Garrison a place, this is a fat shortage.

According to Dong Ce's current promotion progress, he must be able to become a thousand households, unless there is a special opportunity - such as killing another team of Jiannu - if not, it will take three or two years to do it.

But the special encounter is in the word special, where can you encounter it at any time? Tartar is not stupid, and Dong Ce also knows that it is difficult to replicate what happened last time.

And now, there is a great opportunity in front of me.

This is almost another three-level promotion.

After being a general, the benefits go without saying, and more importantly, the more people under him, the more he can realize his ambitions.

Dong Ce's face was as calm as water, but in his heart he was turning over the river and the sea, and his fingers were inadvertently curled up, gently tapping his thighs.

But after all, he let out a long breath, got up and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, forgive your sins." ”

Dip deep to the ground.

Hou Jiawei's face was slightly displeased, and he squinted his eyes and said lightly: "Why the novel?" ”

"My lord, forgive me, the next officer was a small soldier three months ago, but now he has been promoted to the post officer, and he already feels that he has a heavy responsibility and cannot be arrested. And if it is for the sake of the general, the subordinate officials will never do it, for fear that when the time comes, it will harm others and themselves. ”

"Eh, who is born to be an official? If you get to that position, you will. Hou Jiawei waved his hand and said in an unquestionable tone.

He has been in a high position for a long time, and his face is also quite dignified, how can Dong Ce have made up his mind, and he took a deep look: "Please also ask your lord to forgive your sins." ”

The air in the hall seemed to condense in an instant.

Everyone held their breath, the needles in the hall could be heard, and everyone's eyes fell on Hou Jiawei.

Hou Jiawei sat there expressionlessly, but he could see that his fingers were trembling slightly. solicited twice in a row, and left his body to convey goodwill to the other party, but was rejected by the other party twice in a row in public, which is simply an intolerable shame for Hou Jiawei.

The two little girls behind him had already knelt on the ground, their heads buried deeply, obviously not daring to move, but they were so frightened that they couldn't stop trembling. The people around them knew that this was the prelude to the lord's fury, and the last time this happened - it was the lord who asked one of his officers for his concubine, only to be flatly rejected by the officer.

Then on the night of the third day, the officer who had offended the lord was killed by thieves. His family's wife, three concubines, and four flowery daughters were captured in the palace (omitted below...... ）

His own master looks elegant and gentle, but in fact, he is really a murderous and extremely vicious character.

Hou Jiawei looked at Dong Ce, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "You guy, if you don't want to do it, you don't want to do it, why do you need to pull out so many reasons!" Anyway, anyway, since you don't want to, you can go back and take it with you. Remember one sentence, when you want to come back, this son will keep it for you! ”

He didn't turn his face because of Dong Ce's refusal, but looked more intimate and easy-going.

It's just that the two little maids buried their heads lower, and last time, didn't the master comfort the officer like this? As a result, within a few days, the officer's head appeared on the master's desk, and it is said that from that day on, the master would put the nitrate head in his hand every time he ate, and so on for three or five days.

The sister loves to be pretty, thinking that this tall and handsome young general will soon be in a different place, and his family will be humiliated, they are faintly reluctant in their hearts.

Although Dong Ce didn't know that Hou Jiawei had such an idea in his heart, he also knew that this garrison lord who had a bad reputation outside would definitely not be so magnanimous in his heart. He only took a deep look, and said with a face full of shame: "The lower official has lived up to the love of the adult......

"Huh...... Don't talk about this, eat vegetables, drink wine! ”

Sure enough, the next thing was to eat and drink, and Hou Jiawei no longer showed the slightest intention of soliciting, but he was also talking and laughing, without the slightest abnormality.

If you change your scheming, you really admire this garrison for his magnanimity and hearty temperament.

After a short period of time, full of wine and food, Hou Jiawei ordered his subordinates to take the official clothes of Dong Ce and others and seal the letter.

This official robe is a complete set of very lively, including regular clothes, black gauze hats, soap boots, and belts. Dong Ce shook off his official robe, it was made of fine silk satin, the texture was excellent, the official robe was cyan, and the patch on his chest was embroidered with Biao, representing his status as a six-rank military attaché. The black gauze hat was made of black lacquer yarn, with a wide angle of five or six inches sticking out from each side. The belt is plain silver, and it is also very beautiful.

Dong Ce killed one white armor, three real tartars, and two fake tartars, and it stands to reason that there should be a total of two hundred and ninety taels of silver, but the one who got it was only two hundred taels. As for why, Dong Ce didn't even bother to ask, needless to say, he must have been detained by management at all levels. Even the reward of meritorious soldiers dare to deduct 30%, which shows what the Ming Dynasty has now decayed!

Four ingots and fifty taels of silver are all fine snowflake silver, the silver is delicate, and the color is excellent.

Other individuals are also official clothes, official seals, and silver are readily available, and they are all extremely excited, and they can't see enough of these things when they hold them in their hands and turn them over and over again.

Hou Jiawei didn't urge, and watched with a smile on the side.

After finishing the business, the things were taken, and after a while, Dong Ce and the others said goodbye.

Hou Jiawei was still very polite, sent out of the gate, and took Dong Ce's hand and said for a while, Dong Ce repeatedly said goodbye before letting him go.

Watching Dong Ce and the others turn over and get on their horses and walk away, Hou Jiawei's smile disappeared, and the poison in his eyes could no longer be hidden. He beckoned, Hou Jiang, the leader of the family, hurriedly walked over, Hou Jiawei whispered a few words in his ear, Hou Jiang understood, nodded, and also got on a fast horse, galloped out of the city from the west gate.

"Brother, be careful of Hou Jiawei." A few people rode horses and walked slowly on the street, and returned to Shilipu together.

Xu Ruyi leaned over to Dong Ce'er and lowered his voice.

He and Hou Jiawei were already very incompatible, Dong Ce rejected Hou Jiawei's solicitation, and the relationship between the two became a lot closer.

He already sees Dong Ce as an influential middle force that can be wooed.

Dong Ce nodded slowly, let out a long breath, and suddenly said: "This garrison lord, don't say anything else, of course his scheming is extremely deep. ”

"How many people have died under his smiling face!" Xu Ruwei snorted coldly, and said a lot about Hou Jiawei's pickles, and when everyone heard it, they all smacked their tongues in their hearts. I really didn't expect that this dignified garrison lord would do all kinds of evil behind his back, and he was even more ruthless than Jiannu.

Xu Ruwei said in a low voice: "Brother, you have to be careful, this Hou Jiawei has such a retributive temperament, he will definitely not let you go easily, I can't say how many vicious methods there are behind the scenes." These days, if you have nothing to do, don't come out, just stay in the bunker. But don't worry, Ling Tang and his younger siblings are staying in Shilipu, they are definitely as stable as Mount Tai, your old brother and my territory, he hasn't dared to get involved! ”

"With the words of the eldest brother, the younger brother is relieved." Dong Ce nodded, and suddenly smiled heartily: "It's a mess with this guy, I regret the best Fenjiu on the three altars!" This pickled guy, as soon as he heard that I was not his official, he immediately pretended to forget about it! What a granny! ”

When everyone heard this, they all burst into laughter, and their hearts became a lot more cheerful because of Hou Jiawei's incident.

But Dong Ce is not as relaxed as he appeared, no matter what, it is extremely unwise to offend Shangguan. Hou Jiawei's garrison is his top boss, he controls everything in Zhenqiang Fort, and as long as he is here for a day, it is easy for him to deal with himself, whether it is overt or covert, it is enough for himself to drink a pot!

What do you want to do if you become someone else's subordinate?

But Dong Ce doesn't regret it! When a husband walks in the world, he must always have his own bottom line and principles, otherwise, how is it different from a beast?

When he arrived at the city gate, Dong Ce took a look and saw that He Zhengming was still on duty, the two looked at each other, and nodded slightly as a compliment.

Just as he was about to beat the horse back to Shilipu, an old voice suddenly came from the right hand: "Is it General Dong Ce Dong over there?" ”

Dong Ce was stunned, followed the sound, and saw a carriage parked on the right hand side of the city gate, which was already very old, and the wheels were a little black. At this moment sat an old man in his fifties, dressed in plain green cloth clothes, with his hair half black and half bent at the waist, looking weak. Beside him, there was a tall and strong man, who looked like a horseman, but he wore a hat on his head, and he was so low that he couldn't see his face clearly. The voice just now came from this old man.

Dong Ce rode forward and said with a smile: "Old man, there is Dong Ce below, but I don't dare to call him a general." ”

The old man raised his eyes and glanced at Dong Ce, but a pair of cloudy old eyes were instantly shining, which made Dong Ce's heart burst out. However, the light then dimmed, so much so that Dong Ce wondered if he was delusional just now. The old man grinned, revealing a mouthful of well-maintained white teeth: "It's you, please go with the old man!" My lord wants to see you. ”

Dong Ce's heart trembled, and he said cautiously: "May I ask who the Lord Ling is?" ”

The old man's waist straightened instantly, and the momentum of the whole person suddenly changed, becoming very powerful: "Northern Hebei soldiers are ready to go, Lord Liu." ”
