Chapter 235: Corruption (Part II)
The outermost gate of the Jinling Palace.
Under the watchful eyes of the guards in the door, Fan Liuhai was dressed in a dark blue three-grade official uniform, with a purple belt, a tiger on the left and right, and a goldfish bag around his waist, and stepped out.
Wang Hongyi customized, stipulating that the prince and the prime minister, as well as the deputy minister, all use dark purple.
Second rank and duke with light purple.
The three and four products, as well as Hou Bo, all use dark green and light blue.
The five and six grades and the viscount and baron all use lemon yellow, the seventh and eighth grades, and the national priest uses red.
The official uniforms of the nine products and the official officials are all white and red, with the huā pattern of the public gate.
In fact, the earth, since the Spring and Autumn Period Qi Huan Gong, knew that purple was a noble color, and determined the pattern of purple as the top grade, until the Song and Yuan dynasties, until the Ming Dynasty was replaced by red.
And yellow has always been able to be used up and down, and even soldiers in the Sui Dynasty could wear yellow clothes.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, it was stipulated that both foreign officials and concubines must wear yellow clothes, and later it was stipulated that except for the emperor, the subjects were not allowed to borrow red and yellow.
In this world, there is no such rule, Wang Hongyi decreed that the people can use white and black two solid colors, but can also use mixed colors, but can not use red or more pure colors.
Fan Liuhai walked out of it slowly.
"General!" there were five pro-soldiers lined up at the door, everyone stood solemnly, and when they saw him come out, a pro-soldier captain who had been waiting quietly immediately stood up.
Wang Hongyi revised the system again, the first product has 100 pro-soldiers, the second product has 80 people, the third product has 60 people, the fourth product has 40 people, the fifth product has 20 people, the sixth product has 10 people, the seventh product has 5 people, the eighth product has 2 people, and the 9th product has one person!
This is a mechanism for protecting officials.
Fan Liuhai is now a third-grade soldier, with 60 personal soldiers, but there are only 5 family soldiers who can be raised.
Fan Liuhai glanced at his own soldiers and said, "I asked you to wait outside, but I didn't want you to think nonsense, why don't you go and bring the horse to me?" ”
Seeing that his general looked happy, the captain of the pro-soldiers responded to the promise, and hurriedly ran to a row of tethered horses in front of the chalk to untie the reins, and led Fan Liuhai's mount, please look like he and his pro-soldiers turned over and got on the horse.
Riding out of the inner city and coming to the outer city, he heard the noise in the distance, and the captain of the personal army breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the inner city is not a palace, it is still heavily guarded, which makes people's hearts solemn, and they dare not take it lightly.
When I got outside, I felt relaxed when I listened to the shouts of abandoned vendors in the distance.
"General, the state has been worried all along, afraid that you will be reprimanded by the king......"
Walking on a remote street on horseback, the captain of the pro-soldier who followed Fan Liuhai was a relative and a person who had been with him for many years, when he saw that no one spoke up and said: "You don't know, just some time when you went in, several groups of officials were reprimanded, and some people were dismissed and driven out......"
...... Fortunately, when you came out, General, there was nothing wrong!"
"The king is very strict, but he is a benevolent monarch, how can he blame others for no reason?" Fan Liuhai said.
Transferring 30,000 troops is not an idle matter, although I have said it last time, I have not officially received the military talisman until now, what the king just said implies warmth and expectation, and I can't help but feel warm in my heart.
After returning this time, he will gather his subordinates and start a poem about the expedition, but this kind of thing cannot be said to his own soldiers, even if this person is his confidant.
At this time, Fan Liuhai's face sank, glanced at the other party, and said coldly: "And the king is also able to discuss? These words can't be said nonsense, otherwise General Ben will not spare you." ”
"Yes, yes, the villain is just worried about the general, and he will never dare next time. The captain of the pro-soldier scolded himself for talking too much.
Hurriedly changed the topic and said: "When the general goes out to fight, he will be able to establish great achievements, and half of my family is clamoring to serve the general and become a soldier!"
"Oh, how old is your kid, if you remember it well, you're ten years old this year?" Fan Liuhai thought for a while and asked.
"It's only eleven, and I can't even ride a horse, so I want to join the army, do you say this kid owes ...... beating" Seeing that he was gentle, the soldiers smiled back, with a faint pride in their tones.
When Fan Liuhai heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "It's really too young, let's have the heart for another five years!"
It's just that in another five years, what will the situation in the world be like?
Could it be that by then, the world has been calmed down, and there will be no more battles to fight?
Fan Liuhai thought secretly, and said no more.
"Go, invite General He, General Zhao, and General Zhang. Out of the palace gate, Fan Liuhai did not go to the military department again, but went back to his mansion directly, and at the same time ordered his own soldiers to invite a few people over.
At this time, it was already noon, and when these people came, the food and wine were prepared in the hall.
The aroma of the wine is tangy, and the dishes are attractive.
It's just that the minds of a few people obviously don't really fall on the wine and food.
"The last general, He Kaiyuan, has seen the general!"
"The last general, Zhao Cheng, has seen the sheep!"
"The last general, Zhang Shikun, has seen the general!"
After the three of them came in, they saluted Fan Liuhai in the top position.
"There's no need to be polite, haven't you eaten yet? You and I are all comrades in the army, and we are talking while eating!" Fan Liuhai said with a smile in civilian clothes.
Seeing this, the three of them didn't excuse themselves anymore, and they all took their seats one by one.
These three people are subordinates, who were born and died with Fan Liuhai, and they are not outsiders, so at the banquet, they talked and talked about the expedition.
"General, you summoned me this time, but what do you have to say?" The first to speak was Zhang Shikun, who had been with Fan Liuhai for the longest time, he was one of Fan Liuhai's most confidant lieutenants, a comrade who had been born and died many times with Fan Liuhai, and a subtle character.
And he has a good relationship with Fan Liuhai, so naturally he asked directly if he had something to say.
The other two, although they have a bold temperament, are generals, and when they heard Zhang Shikun's words, they both stopped their movements and looked at Fan Liuhai.
At this time, there were no outsiders in the hall for a long time, and there were two guards guarding outside.
The other slaves had long since been banished, and no one else would hear their conversations.
Fan Liuhai put down the bamboo chopsticks, his eyes swept over the three people present, and said slowly: "I came to you this time, I really have something to talk to you about." The matter ...... , related to military intelligence. ”
As soon as the three of them heard this, they all subconsciously straightened their waists, revealing an expression of listening.
"In the morning, the king summoned me and told me something. Fan Liuhai said slowly: "You probably have some guesses, the king sent me to officially be the vanguard officer of the attack on Xu Wenhui, the king of Wei, to fight this first formation, and I intend to let you and the other three go with me on the expedition, are you willing?"
"Attack King Xu Wenhui of Wei?" Hearing this, Zhang Shikun's eyes suddenly widened, and after understanding what Fan Liuhai meant, his face was even more happy.
He hurriedly stood up, pounced, knelt on the ground, and arched his hand upward: "The last general can't ask for it!"
"The last general is willing to go with him!" the two of them got up and bowed down together.
They are all willing to go on the expedition, for no other reason than because wealth and wealth still need to be in danger!
Seeing that the king's power is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and the foundation is becoming more and more stable day by day, if you want to be able to seal your wife and son in the future, you have to fight now!
"It's good if you wait,, Fan Liuhai was very happy with the attitude of the three of them, hurriedly stood up, walked in front of the three of them, and helped them up one by one.
"However, I only mentioned this matter to you and the other three people, just go back and make some preparations, although there will be a will in these two days, but you still have to be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't leak the military aircraft!"
"Please rest assured, the general will know!" said the three of them hurriedly.
And after two days, the will came down.
In the will, Wan Liuhai was appointed as the general of the expedition to the north, and his subordinates Zhang Shikun, Zhao Cheng, and He Kaiyuan were all among the generals who followed the expedition!
Before leaving, Wang Hongyi, accompanied by all the civil and military forces, personally came to the military field to watch the soldiers.
The military field was set up next to the military camp outside the city, and the place was very large, and a high platform had already been built on the flat ground.
Wang Hongyi took Wenwu to the high platform and looked into the distance.
The 30,000 army, according to the establishment, is divided into neat phalanxes, all of which stand quietly and solemnly, and the neat formation represents an invincible force.
Three hundred people are in a phalanx, covering the earth, and even the edge is not visible at a glance.
Looking at such an army, Wang Hongyi's heart is full of pride, since the completion of the establishment of the guard battalion, as well as the establishment of the Privy Council, pay close attention to the army's mental training, of course, more importantly, the founding place, like the sun rises, this army is maturing day by day.
With this elite soldier in hand, it is not a dream to unify the world.
At this time, the 30,000 elite soldiers had been standing for an hour, but they had always remained neat, and no one moved a little.
Especially the civil officials, they were seriously shocked, this is indeed the king's master.
"General Fan, let's get started. After ascending the altar to worship the general, he nodded to the greedy Liuhai in military uniform, and Wang Hongyi said no more.
Fan Liuhai strode to the high platform and carried out the pre-departure ceremony.
First came the sacrificial ceremony.
Sacrificing to the gods and praying for the blessing of the gods is also used to strengthen the soldiers' belief in victory.
Fan Liuhai personally held high the military flag, and suddenly the 30,000 troops present let out a neat shout: "Wansheng,,
At the end of the ceremony, the army set off.
"The last general will definitely do his best to make a gap in Wei Di!" Fan Liuhai knelt on the ground and said.
"Lone believes that you will not let Lone down, Lone is waiting for your good news!" Wang Hongyi said.
Then Fan Liuhai turned over and got on his horse, led the team, and headed into the distance.
"Go back, Your Majesty. Seeing the army set off, Zhang Youzhi, who was accompanying Wang Hongyi, said.
Wang Hongyi nodded, but did not immediately turn around and leave, and said to Zhang Yuzhi beside him: "After I go back, I will send someone to pay close attention to the situation." ”
Zhang Youzhi knew where he was referring to, so he bent down slightly and replied, "No." ”
After bidding farewell to the army, the civil and military officials went back, but some people in Jinling City couldn't sit still, and they quietly sent out the news they had received.
For a time, the undercurrent surged. (To be continued.)
