"Isn't the official position of Hundred Households too high? There are not many Hundred Households in our army, and there are even fewer vacancies. Can I use the official position of the general banner to buy this guy?" It's unreliable to automatically filter out the salary officers under your command. Commander Gu Wentong considered Pu's proposal seriously for a while, and still felt that granting the official position of Baihu to a former pirate leader who had just cleared his identity was a bit too shocking. However, Weng Yuli's next words made him quickly I gave up the idea,
"No, no, Commander! This guy now has more than ten warships, dozens of large and small cannons, nearly a hundred elite old thieves, and hundreds of new thieves. He has strong soldiers and horses, and strong strength. Let's use the official positions of hundreds of households Recruitment is a bit reluctant. If we only allow him to serve as a general banner officer, it will appear that we are too insincere. By then, if this guy feels that he has been insulted, if he does not do it well, I am afraid that he will entangle the party members and come to cause trouble. Let me ask my colleagues, if this happens, who among us in the East China Sea Guards can stop him? What’s more, we are not the only ones in Denglai who can give him official status. According to someone’s knowledge, At least those bastards from the camp were ahead of us. In order to win over this brave and capable pirate force, they offered much better conditions than we did! Therefore, according to Ion, what we have to consider now is , I’m afraid it’s not about whether we should recruit them, but how to recruit them before other forces take action!”
"It makes sense. What Weng Tongzhi said is very reasonable. By exchanging an official position for a hundred households for the service of a force that is good at fighting, we can be regarded as recruiting talents for the country!"
"Well, at the moment, Japanese pirates and bandits are repeatedly invading the country. There are Canxia forces in various places who are dissatisfied with the king's rule and are ready to move. The guard flag army has been at peace for a long time and cannot be used. We need an elite army to help us appease the local area. Resist foreign aggression!"
"Yes, yes, in my opinion, Kang Yuanjing is very suitable for the post of Zhengyin Baihu of the Hundred Houses of Nanhe Village in Chinan Qianhusuo. Although it has just been invaded by Japanese pirates, as the saying goes, a blank piece of paper is easy to draw on. , without the constraints of those inherent relationships, it is impossible to say that our Kang Baihu can train a new flag army for the capital there that is worthy of the important task!"
"Of course, of course! What Brother Shi said is true. The 100 households in Nanhe Village are the first line of our East China Sea Guards against Japanese invaders. Only capable people can be in charge to make people feel at ease. The 100 households in Hezhai south of Wei Kang I, Luo, support this position with both hands!
Seeing the second-in-command of the capital making an impassioned speech in front of everyone, four or five of the dozen or so salary officials immediately stood up to praise him. They professionally analyzed the benefits of recruiting An Kanglin and his group from various angles, and strongly advocated for the senior officials of the capital. He took the latter under his command as soon as possible. There were even some impatient guys who had begun to pave the way for Kang Lin and build momentum. Under their spared no effort in touting, a certain fat man weighing more than 160 kilograms seemed to have become Akana Senhu. The best successor to the Hundred Households of Sonan Hezhai Zhengyin Hundred Households, completely did not notice that the look on the face of Hu Lian, the commander next to him, had also become extremely ugly! They didn't know that the position of the hundred households of Nanhe Village was reserved by the latter for his brother-in-law. In order to make that incompetent dandy become the sixth-grade hundred households of this troubled man, Hu Lian not only spent nearly a thousand taels of silver on it, He also transferred a large amount of benefits to the commander Gu Wentong and some salary officials, hoping that they could help him in this matter. However, the so-called "man's fortune is not as good as God's fortune", those bastards actually turned out after they had eaten everything. Hu Lian couldn't help but feel angry when he agreed with his rival Weng Yuli and wanted to recruit Kang Lin, an outsider, to grab this position. Although he also wanted to bring Kang into his camp, he didn't want to include Nan He, who was about to get it. Hundreds of households in the village have lost their official positions to others! Therefore, Hu Lian and Hu Qianshi, who had made up their minds, immediately laughed and interrupted the business exchanges among the salary officials.
"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate, Mr. Boda, colleagues, Kang Yuanjing is good at water warfare, and his soldiers are also pirates. Put him in Nanhe Village and treat him as a sixth-grade hundred household. Isn't it like breaking an eagle?" The wings are missing, the tiger's claws are broken, and Qinantang is missing Hu Shouren?"
"Then according to what Jingting said, how should we arrange for the leader of Kangda? Is it possible to let him serve as the general banner of the seventh rank under your brother-in-law's tent?" Looking at the way Hu Lian spoke, Weng Yuli knew that this guy was secretly there. What are you holding back? As expected, in order to keep his brother-in-law's position in the Hundred Households, the former directly seized on Kang Lin and others' characteristics of being good at naval warfare and made a fuss about it, hoping to persuade the boss of the capital and the commander Gu Wentong to arrange them elsewhere. Go and be a flag official, don't compete with your brother-in-law for the position of one hundred households in Nanhe Village! And since Weng Yuli knew the little Jiujiu in this guy's heart, how could he let him get his wish easily? He sneered and turned on the mocking mode!
"Okay, okay, if you have something to say, talk it over carefully. Don't keep arguing. You are all high-ranking officials in the capital. You must pay attention to your image!" Seeing that his two subordinates were about to fight each other again, Gu Wentong immediately stood up. They stopped this move. Today is a matter of discussion in the capital, not a quarrel between women in the market, armed with guns and sticks, and sarcastic words. Can we still talk properly?
"Hmph..." Seeing their immediate superiors' expressions of confusion, Weng and Hu could only end the infighting between the two sides again and resume the original topic, "Then according to your wishes, how should we arrange that surnamed man?" Kang’s pirate leader?”
"According to the previous history, the two Luo officials said that Kang Lin and Kang Yuanjing were appointed as the chief of the Hundred Households of the Hundred Households of Nanhe Village in Chinan Qianhusuo, and were given three years of exemption from military service and the right to train the flag army..."
"Impossible, the official position can still be discussed, but the three-year exemption from military service and the right to train the flag army must not be easily given to a former pirate!" At this time, before Hu Lian could object, the crowd of stipend officials rang out. After hearing several voices of opposition, they were forced by Weng Yuli's status as a Tongzhi to ignore him in promoting a pirate leader as a guard, but they could not suggest that the capital grant immunity to a pirate leader. Military training rights turned a deaf ear! After all, the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than two hundred years, and various rules and regulations have long been established. The latter's actions were obviously breaking the rules, so they could not help but raise objections. The commander sitting on the big chair made Gu Wentong There was a look of approval on his face at this time. Although he also accepted Weng Yuli's favor fee and adopted a tacit attitude towards this guy who wanted to promote a pirate leader as a flag officer, this did not mean that he would tolerate the latter's wanton destruction. Various conventions that have been formed over hundreds of years, he still wants to continue to enrich his small treasury by eating empty wages and drinking the blood of soldiers, how can he allow the latter to easily touch the cheese in his bowl! What's more, another strong contender for the post of Nanhe Village Hundred Households, Hu Lian's brother-in-law Jiang Yundi secretly sent no less donations than this guy, and his brother-in-law is his close friend Douban, so, Nanhe Village Hundred Households Among the hundreds of palm prints, Gu Wentong is more inclined to Jiang Yundi, who was born in the flag army! As soon as he thought about this, the former with a mustache patted the solid wood koan in front of him and said loudly,
"When selecting officials in the country, the most important thing is moral character and ability! Let's not mention moral character. Both of them are top choices. But in terms of ability, it is Shopkeeper Kang who has the upper hand. Jingting, please don't be impatient. Please listen to what I have to say. …”
"I don't dare, sir, please continue talking!"
Seeing that his confidant's lips were open, as if he wanted to say something, Gu Wentong stopped the former's follow-up actions with a wave of his hand, and continued, "Therefore, the position of the Hundred Households of Nanhe Village cannot be used at all. With all his abilities, we should find another position for him to shine for our Donghaiwei!"
"Yes, yes, what the commander said is true. In my opinion, we should give him an official position in the water village. After all, his subordinates are all sea heroes who sail boats and sails. He should be a flag officer of the navy." It's just right!" Hearing the song and knowing the elegance, after the most powerful boss of Donghaiwei spoke, there were naturally some flattering people around him. No, Gu Wentong had just said that Kang Lin was not suitable to be a householder in Nanhe Village. There are smart people who come up to flatter the boss, and some guys even find a suitable position for the boss of Kangda. It seems that as long as the person concerned agrees, the government can push the latter to the position of Shuizhai Flag Officer. , and Kang Lin’s newly attached protective umbrella, Weng Yuli, the governor of the capital, was naturally unhappy after hearing this, but after all, he was not the leader of the East China Sea Guard, and his words did not count. Therefore, after thinking for a moment, he could only choose Use retreat to advance and try to get Kang Lin a better floodplain to station in.
"But our Donghai Weiqian Shanshui Village is headed by Deputy Wen Qianhu. When Yuan Jing goes there, will he be the Hundred Household or the General Flag?"
"Of course it's a hundred households. With Brother Kang's merits and abilities, wouldn't it be a humiliation to serve as the general banner?" Seeing that Weng Yuli finally gave in, Gu Wentong stood up with a smile, ordered someone to fetch the Shandong Capital Commander Si Map, and pointed to a place He said to everyone, "I have heard that in the military system of the country, the general has regular soldiers, the deputy generals have special soldiers, the generals have reinforcements, and the guerrillas have guerrillas. Therefore, I want to use Brother Kang's subordinates as the generals. The mobile troops of our East China Sea Guard are responsible for supporting the various departments of the guard station to resist Japanese pirate attacks, and their station is arranged on Salmon Island in the East China Sea. It just so happened that Liu Xianzun of Penglai County, Dengzhou Prefecture once wrote to the Chief Envoy of Shandong Province, saying that the island has Japanese pirates and pirates were infested, and it was necessary to station an elite force from the nearby guard station. Brother Kang led the army to go there at this time. Not only did he relieve the worries of the county elders and parents, but they also found a geomantic treasure for themselves to station their troops. It was really It kills two birds with one stone and everyone is happy. What do you think? Lords of a hundred households, what do you think after hearing this? If you don’t object, I will write to the commander of the capital together with Weng Tongzhi and Hu Qianshi to ask you to grant the title of Donghaiwei Water Village. The position of guerrilla 100 households..."
"Boda Gong, Kang Yuanjing brought hundreds of troops, and the Japanese pirate leader came to surrender sincerely. There are hundreds of households in Nanhe Village and hundreds of guerrilla households in Shuizhai. The difference is too big. If we don't give him some benefits, I'm afraid Is it difficult to convince the public?"
