Chapter 236: Yanai

Shamen Town is prominent, as if it was born out of thin air.

Since Shamen Garrison was upgraded to Shamen Town, it has only been less than three months, and this border army garrison, which no one really attaches importance to, has suddenly risen under everyone's noses. Li Jing, a country boy who had just been crowned, really turned the children of the township party from the township into a tiger and wolf division in a short period of time.

Facing the one-eyed pirates, smashing the Da Xie Qi fleet, and in front of everyone's eyes, facing tens of thousands of Feng Zhang's army in Shamen Island, and easily defeating his army, Feng Zhang, who has always been proud and domineering, can't raise his head.

Song Wen admired, Li Wei was shocked, Cui Yunqing was surprised, Song Wei sighed, Feng Zhang was convinced, Feng Xun was afraid, and Wang Jin was afraid.

With such an elite soldier suddenly appearing under his command, how could Song Wei let it go. In order to rein in 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 gave Li Jing three more official positions in a row.

Stragglers, festival guards, and festival vanguards.

The nature of the stragglers is the same as that of the imperial court, and they are only to indicate the grade. The difference is that the scattered officials of the imperial court used to be very authoritative, but now, the feudal towns have appointed a large number of official positions themselves, and the feudal towns must also have their own ranking. In fact, the envoys of the festival and the envoys of soldiers and horses were originally only temporary dispatches, and these were not of any grade, and these envoys and officials had to bring their own duties. For this reason, a set of rank officials gradually emerged within the feudal town.

Li Jing has only one job, that is, the town general of Shamen Town. Now that he has officially entered the middle and high-level of Ziqing Town, it is inevitable that the grade will be determined. Previously, he was a scattered general. This time, it directly upgraded several levels in a row. Promoted to Skirmisher. It's only one step away from the Soldier Envoy. Add a loose word to indicate that Li Jing is now in internal order, with the same rank as the soldiers and horses, and enjoying the same level of treatment as the soldiers and horses.

This is a very important position. The original intention of the guard was to rely on the guards of the marshal, and to be the closest and most trusted guards. Up to now, the guards are generally held by the military disciples under their command, and they are officers among the guards. in this position. They are all people who are trusted by the marshal. The Ya, generally known as the Ya, was later extended to the meaning of the military generals because most of the people who held this position were the children of the families of the civil and military generals. But at this time, the yanai is the exclusive title that belongs to the festival priests. Their status is equivalent to the Janissary officers around the emperor, and to the three guards of the Sui and the Forbidden Army in the Tang Dynasty. The three guards of the imperial court have a very high status of the lowest and eighth grades, and the highest is seven grades. The same is true of the Oshiya in the feudal towns, who are basically the future commanders of a town.

Li Jing is in Dengzhou. Song Wei gave him the important position of Jiedu Guard, which was actually a public expression of his appreciation to Li Jing. It was impossible for Li Jing to go to Qingzhou to protect Song Wei. This position is also a special honor, just like some imperial generals who have been crowned by the emperor as the general of Jin Wuwei, who do not receive specific ministries but enjoy their glory.

As for the position of the festival pioneer, there is only one word difference between it and the festival pioneer. However, there is a difference of one word, but the specific rights are very different. In Li Jing's view, the pioneer envoy of Jiedu is the general who commands the forward soldiers and horses. And the Jiedu Pioneer is almost the same as the gang's double-flower red stick, at most he is just a powerful thug.

However, he also knew that he was now with low qualifications, and Song Wei suddenly gave him the title of two important positions in the marshal's mansion, Jiedu Ya and Jiedu Pioneer, which was already an expression of his great appreciation and value.

After looking at the stack of farewells in his hand, Li Jing's current official ranks are all added together, the pioneer of the Pinglu Army in Ziqing Town, the Jiedu Guard, the guerrilla general, the captain of the cavalry, and the stragglers, so that the deputy soldier and horse envoy of the Da Xie Yan of Chongdeng Prefecture and the general of the town of Shamen Town and the camp of Shamen Town joined the army. This long official title can be embroidered on his official banner in the future.

Li Jing was still very satisfied with this long list of official positions, not only was he promoted to a five-rank official position, he wore a scarlet official robe, became a real general, and hung up a silverfish bag and silverfish. Moreover, the territory in his hands has now expanded more than tenfold, and the number of troops has also expanded more than six times. And now he is really in front of the Jiedu envoy, and after adding the two positions of Jiedu Charge Ya and Jiedu Pioneer, he will really step on the same boat with Song Wei in the future and advance and retreat together.

Han Zhong was the first to stand up and laugh loudly: "Congratulations to Brother Ji Yu, I will be renamed Li Yanei in the future." Yanai suddenly became a celebrity in front of the festival marshal, and he will have to remember a few more brothers in the future, and remember to say a few more good words in front of the festival marshal. ”

Han Zhong and the others followed Cui Yunqing to Song Wei, although they also got some titles, but no one got the two honorary titles of Ya and Pioneer like Li Jing at once.

Originally, such an important position, Li Jing went to Qingzhou to receive the official position in person, but considering the current situation on the side of Da Xie Yan, Song Wei directly asked Cui Yunqing to bring the official uniform and official seal to wait, and he didn't need to go to Qingzhou again.

Li Jing immediately went to the side compartment and changed into a brand-new official uniform, he is now a fifth-grade official, and the official uniform he wears finally got rid of the light green and dark green, and directly put on a scarlet robe. Although the color is slightly lighter than the crimson robe of the fourth-grade official, he is still a crimson robe in any case. In particular, he also wore a silver fish bag around his waist, which contained a silver fish charm. This fish bag and fish talisman can only be equipped by five-grade officials, and there are goldfish bags and goldfish talismans on top of it.

The official uniform was personally put on by Li Hui'er, who was originally two maids in King Zhao's villa, but I don't know when the county lord ran in, regardless of the difference between men and women, he personally helped Li Jing change the official robe with a smile.

Looking at the young man in the bronze mirror who was a little proud, Li Jing smiled slightly, the scarlet official robe had already been put on, would the purple official robe be far away?

After returning to the lobby, Cui Yunqing gave Feng Zhang a promotion reward on behalf of Song Wei. Because Feng Zhang was 'sick', Feng Xun accepted it instead of him. The so-called beating a stick to a sweet date, this time Feng Zhang was hit and almost couldn't get up. Although Feng Zhang himself admitted the crimes that Li Jing accused him, at this time, not only did he not punish him. Rather, it is a reward for it.

That's how wonderful it is. Late Tang at this time. No matter how big a mistake you make, as long as you have soldiers and horses in your hands, nothing will happen under normal circumstances.

Song Wei added Feng Zhangjia to the left chamber to know the soldiers and horses, and promoted the official rank of the soldiers and horses by three levels, crossed the right wing and the left wing, and was promoted from the soldiers and horses to the capital. However, this is only an honor, although he has been promoted, he has no actual authority. In addition, Song Wei also awarded him the rank of General Wusan of Mingwei from the fourth grade. Feng Xun also got a benefit and obtained the rank of guerrilla general.

However, compared with Li Jing, this kind of reward seems a little shabby. After all the rewards were announced, Li Jing and Feng Xun each stepped forward to sign their names in the mediation letter. When the name was signed, the war provoked by Li Jing came to a complete end. In Wang Jingwen's words, if anyone wants to take the opportunity to stir up trouble, then they will be attacked by all sides. Although Li Jing didn't believe this, now was the time for him to eat and drink enough and hide to digest in a low-key manner, so he naturally wouldn't object.

Wang Jingwen took Feng Xun and Wang Jin and others and left in a hurry immediately. I don't want to stay any longer. On the way back, Wang Jingwen directly called Wang Jin into his carriage. Leaving Feng Xun alone, he stood at the door of the villa a little dazed and helpless.

On the carriage, Wang Jin asked a little puzzled: "This time, Song Wei and Cui Yunqing are really too much, clearly protecting Li Jing and giving him benefits everywhere." Why did the eldest brother see Feng Zhang being bullied by them to such an extent, but he didn't help him, and let him be beaten by others? ”

Wang Jingwen twisted the beard under his chin and sighed: "The Feng family's strength has gradually risen over the years, and there is a faint desire to get out of our control. In particular, this Feng Zhang, who has always relied on the control of Dengzhou Port and the maritime trade routes, has a lot of money in his hands, not only pays less and less money every year, but also continues to expand his troops and horses. You see, until he was beaten by Li Jing, there were 20,000 horses and nearly 200 warships. You are also on the Dengzhou Sea, but your strength is only half of his. Feng Zhang's expansion was too inflated, and they couldn't see their own identity clearly. ”

"It's good to let Li Jing beat him up this time, at least after Feng Zhang lost half of the fleet of soldiers and horses, he finally knew that he was going to ask us for help, and he knew that we were still his masters. If Li Jing doesn't beat him, he will have two hearts with us. Now that Li Jing has beaten him awake, he has taken the initiative to move closer to us again. Therefore, this time, I actually deliberately watched Cui Yunqing and them deal with him, in order to teach him a lesson. If they make him ruthless, the closer he will get to us, the more he will hate Song Wei, Cui Yunqing, Li Jing and others in the future. A Feng Zhang who can be controlled by us is a good Feng Zhang, as for him being bullied, it doesn't matter what he does. ”

Wang Jin looked at Wang Jingwen in amazement and was greatly admired. "However, this Li Jing is now swelling much faster than when he was sealed. It took Feng Zhang ten years to get to where he is today. But in less than half a year, Li Jing had already defeated Feng Zhang, who had accumulated ten years of strength, and this kid must be a big trouble. ”

"Don't act rashly yet, things have to be done step by step. Li Jing just kept staring at Feng Zhang, looking for a mistake by Feng Zhang, and then a series of actions completely disabled Feng Zhang, whose strength was far superior to him, and made him lose his threat to him. Li Jing, this kid is not simple, you have to learn from him, you have to be a poisonous snake in the dormant grass, just don't move, move like thunder, give the enemy a fatal blow. Now, let's lie dormant first, let's look at Li Jing's smugness first, he will always make mistakes. We just have to wait before that, as long as the opportunity arises, we will come with a fatal blow and completely kill this arrogant boy. Wang Jingwen squinted his eyes slightly, his eyes were as dangerous as a poisonous snake, and he said coldly.

"This kid Li Jing has swelled 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 this, but there are very few people like him, who have achieved the state of mind but still haven't changed much. I'm just worried that after a long time, the nights will be long and dreamy, and then he will be truly uncontrollable. Wang Jin always has some resentment towards Li Jing. So far, Li Jing is the only one who can rob and blackmail him, but he can't retaliate.

In the Danya Villa, Cui Yunqing talked to Li Jing alone. A pair of teachers and students have not seen each other for a long time, and they always feel that there are endless words to say these days. Especially after seeing him again this time, Li Jing felt that Cui Yunqing was a little more enthusiastic about him than before, and he vaguely felt that this was related to the strength he was showing now.

Cui Yunqing personally poured Li Jing a cup of tea, and after pondering for a long time, she suddenly said, "Ji Yu, if I let you lead your troops to return to Qingzhou with me." Would you like to? ”

"I do!" Li Jing replied without hesitation. He guessed that this might be a temptation by Cui Yunqing for him. I want to see if he is still obedient to him as always. Cui Yunqing really smiled when she heard this. He hesitated for a moment and said: "I won't hide it from you, although Song Jieshuai has received the support of many state soldiers and county soldiers under the states and counties of Ziqing Town, but it has always been difficult to solve the fire from afar, and it is impossible to solve Wang Jingwu's Qingzhou tooth soldiers. Recently, Song Jieshuai and I have taken control of the Qingzhou Unity Army, and set up a 3,000-person barracks. There are 8,000 men and horses, which is close to Wang Jingwu's 10,000 tooth soldiers. Song Jieshuai didn't want to endure Wang Jingwu's constraints on Jieshuai's mansion for a long time, and wanted to fight forever, but he was always worried about the combat strength of the united soldiers and the pro-military battalion. You're doing well this time. The fight is very exciting, I think, if you go to Qingzhou with me, maybe you can completely solve Wang Jingwu. ”

Li Jing smiled bitterly, he understood that this was definitely not Cui Yunqing's true thoughts. Because Cui Yunqing is not stupid, with the current tense situation between the Jieshuai Mansion and the Ya Army, Li Jing led his troops westward at this time, didn't that really force Wang Jingwu to jump over the wall in a hurry and rebel?

"I am a protΓ©gΓ© of the teacher, and now I have just been awarded the position of Jiedu Charge and Jiedu Pioneer by the Jieshuai. The marshal and the teacher are anxious, and the students will never give up. But let the students ask a question first. If it was before this war, if the students went west to Qingzhou, it is estimated that Wang Jingwu would not have much reaction. However, after this battle, the Shamen Town Army had a small prestige, and at this time, it was westward, and Wang Jingwu, who was afraid that he would be forced, immediately rebelled. At that time, my army may not have arrived in Qingzhou, and the Jieshuai has been controlled by Wang Jingwu, which has harmed the Jieshuai. ”

"So what do you think should be done?" The expression on Cui Yunqing's face did not change at all.

"The students think that there is no shortage of people in the festival marshal now, but what is lacking is elite soldiers and horses. The so-called elite only needs to be well fed and trained sufficiently, and then the elite soldiers can be successful. The students fought with Feng Zhang before, and obtained a batch of money, food, and ordnance, and were willing to take them out to give to the festival commander and the teacher. I believe that only after the money, food, and armament are sufficient, with time, and the prestige of the veteran commander of a hundred battles, he will definitely be able to train an elite and strong army, and Wang Jingwu will not need to worry about it at that time. "Li Jing is naturally reluctant to go to Qingzhou, and Cui Yunqing may not really want Li Jing to go to Qingzhou. Speaking of which, he probably still has interests. Song Wei had just helped him a lot, and now it was naturally time for him to reciprocate.

However, Li Jing is not too careless about some money and food, Shamen Town is not short of money and food now, if you can use some money and food, you can exchange Song Wei for continuing to spare no effort to help, these are all worth it.

Cui Yunqing pondered for a moment and said slowly: "How much food and equipment can you come up with?" ”

Li Jing thought about it for a while, and said after that: "100,000 yuan, plus 10,000 stone grain, plus 300 pairs of iron armor, 500 pairs of leather armor, 1,000 spears, 1,000 horizontal knives, 1,000 shields, 300 crossbows, 500 bows, and 20,000 arrows." As soon as he gritted his teeth, Li Jing was also bleeding profusely.

Cui Yunqing finally had a smile on her face, "I want you to burn the kind of divine fire that sealed the boat, and I want five hundred cans." ”

"This thing doesn't hurt much on land, and the students don't have much inventory, so they can only take out a hundred cans at most and give them to the festival marshal and the teacher." Li Jing was a little full of black lines, this teacher was too ruthless, he was not satisfied with giving so many weapons, and he actually asked for five hundred jars of divine fire as soon as he opened his mouth. He can directly exchange this thing for a thousand war horses when he takes it to Qingnipu.

Cui Yunqing saw that Li Jing didn't seem to be lying, so she nodded with satisfaction, "Then it's up to you to have a hundred cans, but you have to prepare all the ordnance money and food quickly, and I will bring it back in two days." ”

"The students had another gift to give to the teacher and the festival commander, including three hundred jars of Wuliangye and good wine, and a few kinds of homegrown goods from the town. In addition, the students also prepared 50,000 pieces of filial piety for the teacher and the festival marshal, and the teacher happened to take them back with them. "100,000 was given, and Li Jing didn't care about giving 100,000 more. As long as there are these two mountains on top to protect Li Jing, these investments are worth it.

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

"The students themselves can still turn around, 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's wings would be hard and disobedient was gone. He said with some seriousness: "Ji Yu, you are too popular this time, so you have to be more low-key in the future." It is important to develop yourself with peace of mind, and some things should also be paid attention to. I've heard that you're in a hot fight with the people of the East Sea in that town, and now these pirates are still stationed on your island, what's going on? After all, this matter is inappropriate, and it is very troublesome to spread the word. ”

"Teacher, Zhen Donghai has actually been secretly recruited by the students, but he has not given them a public name for the time being. The student also took into account that the marshal and the teacher still have many opponents in Dengzhou, so they should also prepare for both hands and be more vigilant. β€˜

"If they are really willing to accept Zhao'an, that's a good thing, go back and ask the pirate leader to write a letter of allegiance, I'll take it back to the marshal, and let the marshal give them an official position directly, and completely recruit them, and there will be other people in the province to talk about this matter."

"Thank you, teacher." Li Jing hurriedly thanked.

After this talk, the relationship between the teacher and the student couldn't help but go further and become more intimate. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
