After breakfast, because Li Zhijie's wife was inconvenient to accompany guests, Xu He accompanied Xie Kun and Qi Jiguang to go out to relax.
As the boat was sailing on the lake, Xu He asked curiously: "Brother, are you married?"
Speaking of this, Qi Jiguang said with a hint of embarrassment on his face: "My parents helped me get engaged when I was a child, and we just got married last year!"
Speaking of this, Xie Kun, who had been leaning on the boat to watch the scenery, smiled and said: "Yuan Jing's wife is the daughter of the Nanxi Wang family of ten thousand households. That is our famous general family in Dengzhou!"
Qi Jiguang felt even more embarrassed when it came to this.
But obviously Xie Kun didn't save face for his student, and continued to smile: "Yuan Jing just got married, but her husband was in a bad mood. Under the instigation of others, he raised a sword and wanted to scare the Wang family. It happened to be that the Wang family had just taken a nap. Wake up and see Yuan Jing coming in with a sword..."
Hearing this, Xu He said curiously: "Then..."
After speaking, Qi Jiguang's entire face turned as red as a cooked shrimp. Xie Kun laughed loudly and said: "Yuan Jing's wife said angrily, "What do you want to do?" Yuan Jing was startled, his sword fell to the ground, and he hurriedly said He replied [I will kill the chicken for my wife to eat]!”
"Hahaha!" Although he knew he was being unkind, Xu He couldn't help but laugh when he thought that the famous national hero Qi Jiguang was so henpecked.
But the story is not over yet, Xiao Qi has to die in society. As a teacher, Xie Kun has no self-consciousness as a teacher at all, and continues to laugh: "When Wang heard this, he glared at Yuan Jing and yelled, "Kill the chicken, kill the chicken. Don’t yell anymore]!”
Xu He was not a kind person either. He turned around and asked Qi Jiguang, "Senior brother, what happens next?"
Qi Jiguang muttered: "Then, then I will only retreat!"
Xie Kun pointed at his student and said with a smile: "Yuan Jing is smart, studious, and knowledgeable about military skills, but he is a bit henpecked! Hahaha..."
Before this, the young man in front of him was just his uncle's apprentice and a great figure in history. But after this little incident, Xu He suddenly discovered that Qi Jiguang was actually an ordinary man around him. After a hard day's work, he was covered in stinky sweat. An ordinary... person who takes money home and gives it to his wife for safekeeping.
But it's okay to joke about this kind of thing to build a relationship. You can't just stare at people and expose their shortcomings.
Xu He was still very curious about Qi Jiguang, so he asked again: "Senior brother is a hereditary commander, when can he inherit the military position?"
Speaking of this, Qi Jiguang's red face finally calmed down and he said with a smile: "With military positions like ours, we have to wait until we are twenty years old before we can compete in Beijing!"
At this time, Xie Kun snorted coldly and said: "What a show, it's just a way for those people to collect money."
Hearing this, Xu He was a little stunned. As for taking exams, examiners accept bribes. This has happened in ancient and modern times, but he really doesn't understand who accepts bribes and how.
Qi Jiguang saw that Xu He was very interested in military performance, so he explained it to him.
It turns out that the military positions in the Wei Dynasty were mainly military positions in the Dusi Guard system. Of course, there were also military positions for local officials in the Jisi Guards such as the Xuanwei Division and Xuanfu Division of the border ethnic minorities.
Leaving aside the military attache, Qi Jiguang told Xu He what the hereditary military position in their Dusiwei system was all about.
The military positions in the Dusiweishuo system are divided into two categories: "official official" and "official official".
There are nine levels of "officials", including commander envoy, commander Tongzhi, commander Qian Shi, Wei Zhenfu, Zheng Qianhu, deputy Qianhu, Suo Zhenfu, Baihu, and Shibaihu, that is, the military positions in the guards.
In addition, the Yiwei Zheng, Yiwei Deputy, and Dianzhan of the Royal Palace's Yiwei Department have the same grades as the Zheng, Deputy Qianhu, and Baihu in Qianhusuo respectively, and they also belong to the ninth grade of worldly officials.
The so-called "officials" means that these military positions can be hereditary. These official positions are all held in the lower bodyguards, so they are collectively called "military officers of the guards."
The official ranks are divided into "eight grades", including the governor, the governor's tongzhi, the governor's official, the commander's envoy, the commander's tongzhi, the commander's official, the chief lieutenant, and the deputy lieutenant, that is, the governor's office and the chief secretary of the Five Army ( A senior military position in the Xingdu Division and the Left-behind Division).
The reason why they are called "Liu Guan" is because these high-level military positions cannot be hereditary.
For example, Mao Yi was the chief water transport officer. In fact, his title was the commanding officer of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army.
Logically speaking, he should be a floating official, but because of the special nature of water transportation, the position of commander-in-chief of water transportation has always been occupied by the Mao family.
But most of the official positions are not hereditary.
Unless you have made great achievements and received special favors from the court, they can be hereditary, and most of the hereditary inheritance can only be passed on to the next generation, leaving your grandchildren out of luck!
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the military attache's children were corrupted very quickly. Seeing this, the imperial court always emphasized that the young military attachés "must have practiced and are proficient in bow and horse" before they were allowed to be escorted to the post. However, in the peaceful era, the military attachés themselves drank alcohol every day. The army doesn't drill either, let alone their sons.
During the reign of Taizu Zhang Shicheng, when he went abroad, the left sergeant of the government army reported that the son of Qianhu did not practice martial arts, but only sang songs and drank wine.
When the emperor is angry, he is ordered to be arrested and cured.
Because of the imperial edict: Any disciple of a military official who indulges in drinking and gambling, sings, writes, and tunes instead of martial arts, or strives for profits for the city and the people, will be punished. When he succeeds in his job, he will compete according to the previous test. If he fails, he will be sent to guard the border with his father and will not receive any salary.
Later it was found out that this son of Qianhu played chess, Shuanglu, and played the flute.
Taizu was furious and ordered his upper lip to be cut off along with the tip of his nose, one of his hands was removed, and one of his feet was chopped off.
When things developed to this point, the military attachés became frightened, and the practice of martial arts became prevalent again.
But after Taizu's death, especially when the Yingzong moved the capital, military affairs gradually declined.
"Today, alas~~~~" Qi Jiguang sighed, "Take our Dengzhou Guard as an example. The children of officials in the Wei are either fighting cocks or running around all day long, or doing business to make a living. How can there be any children from a family of military generals? What does it look like?”
"What's more, I heard~~~~~" Qi Jiguang lowered his voice and said heavily, "I heard that there are people who colluded with the big families in the southeast to sell silk and fine cloth to North Korea!"
As soon as these words came out, Xu He was startled. The imperial court had implemented a sea ban since Taizu, and once even issued an edict: "No piece of board is allowed to enter the sea"!
The silk weaving industry in the southeast is developed. If someone really smuggles it to North Korea, it will be transported by Dengzhouwei by sea.
"Does the court care about this matter?" Xu He asked curiously.
At this time, Xie Kun, who had been drinking casually, sneered: "Why don't you look at who the smugglers are? Let alone the guards, even if they are Japanese pirates, these people dare to cooperate!"
"Japanese pirates..." Xu He looked at Xie Kun in surprise.
A disdainful sneer appeared at the corner of Xie Kun's mouth: "Isn't it strange? The Japanese pirates came here seeking money. They plundered the countryside to make a fortune, and they also made a fortune by cooperating with those big families. It's all about making a fortune. How can they be picky?"
Speaking of this, he said to Xu He: "I don't know how many times I heard this kind of scandalous things under Lu Butang's tent? Don't be surprised, it's just a drop in the bucket! Yuan Jing, you continue to talk!"
After saying that, he turned to look at the lake with a lonely expression. Apparently he had thought of something. He seemed to be a little cheered up at first, but he immediately became depressed again.
