Chapter 36 The Incident
The four provincial capitals organized by Hong Chengchou were crushed. The Shentang Camp where Zhang Yida was located successively participated in the encirclement and annihilation of the Super Biao Battalion of Jiangshan County, attacked the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and defeated the Qing army on the southern front three battles. Many officers and soldiers in the army were promoted, and he was no exception.
Due to the need for military expansion, some officers and soldiers were transferred to the newly built camp, Yushan Camp, Chun'an Camp, Cavalry Camp, Mule Army, and even local garrisons. For example, Chen Lan, the chief of the infantry bureau where he was, was transferred to the chief of the bureau in the Mule Army, while he continued to stay in Shentang Camp, and his military rank was promoted from the deputy lieutenant of the accompanying Rong to the accompanying Rong School Captain, and officially took up the captain of the firearms team of the team.
Although he was just a lower-level officer, Zhang Yida was very satisfied. The officer who recruited him when he joined the army in Dongyang County had died in Jinhua City a few months ago, but the words he gave to him that year still lingered in his mind and had begun to come true.
"I joined the army to have enough food. Over the past year, I have become an officer and even a wife. Brother Zhang, work hard with the generals and fight hard, and can always fight for wealth!"
It has been two full years since September of the fifth year of Yongli to now.
In the past two years, hard training and never retreated in combat. First, he garrisoned in Dongyang County, and then with the infantry battalions of the reserve team, he participated in the battle of Shentangyuan, which decided the strategic initiative of southwestern Zhejiang. Even when Shentang Camp was given this number, Chen Wen also stated in public that the two infantry bureaus led by An Youfu, who was the one who was the one who was in charge of the two infantry bureaus that fought against the Supervisory Battalion, was obtained for granted. Of course, this was also his efforts!
In the past two years, starting from a small soldier in the garrison, he came step by step. When Chen Wen began to implement the military rank system, he was given the rank of Deputy Captain Rong. However, the leader of the firearms team was not considered an officer. Fortunately, he was promoted to the captain of the firearms team more than a month ago, and the dispatch was promoted to the captain of the firearms team. Even the troops were not transferred to a new camp, so the word "promotion" was beyond doubt.
In the past two years, the land has been established, eighty acres of grain fields and forty acres of mulberry fields, and a small firearm captain can become a wealthy family in the village by fighting bravely. Now that his wife has also been established, his grandparents and parents' graves have been moved to his own land. Even if he has a great revenge, he has already avenged it, and probably only has children left.
"I really should thank Brother Wang for his Ji Yan, but unfortunately he is no longer here. When I return to the camp, I will go to his grave to worship first. Well, that's it."
"The head of the family, I was in a daze as soon as I came back, and I drank a bit of sobering soup. Now I'll go and heat up the rice."
Although Shentangyuan is now stationed on the front line of Yushan County, Hong Chengchou has begun to blockade and relocate the territory, and is obviously afraid of the Ming army in Zhejiang. The military commander in charge of arranging military mobilization, changing defenses, and taking turns to rest, probably thought so, so he reported the application for the Shentang Camp to take turns to rest as usual, and it was approved by Chen Wen to start execution. Zhang Yida took half a month off some time ago, and returned to the team as soon as he recovered. This time, the military officer took care of him without a child, and the reorganization was also ranked first.
"I've eaten with them, so there's no need to heat up. Sit down and rest for a while and talk."
Zhang Yida is a native of Dongyang County and is still familiar with Hengdian Town several miles away. When he came back this time, he happened to be caught up with someone and made an appointment to have a drink today. He has just returned home.
After hearing this, Zhang Yida's wife sat in front of her man in a regular manner, watching Zhang Yida drink the sobering soup that had already been poured into the bowl, packed the bowl before she came back to sit down again. Zhang Yida is now an officer, but she was a slave to a wealthy family. Before getting married, she was just a sergeant, just a small hill of five people. If he hadn't had the dozens of acres of land at that time, he would have been able to develop, and his father-in-law, Taishan, might not have been willing to give his daughter to him.
However, after spending time together, his wife is indeed a virtuous person. She is good at handling housework and doing farm work in the fields. Now, it seems that he is not satisfied with the fact that he is not pregnant yet.
"Hi, how long it took for a marriage, how long it took to fight, and how to garrison it. I haven't stayed at home for so long, so how fast it was." Thinking of this, Zhang Yida smiled and said, as if he could come back to take a break this time, wasn't it just to take care of him who didn't have a child yet? He had to work hard.
"Madam, it's getting late, let's take a break first."
Standing up, Zhang Yida took his wife's hand and walked to the bed. However, this time, his wife was not as obedient as before. She was overjoyed and asked him to sit down again and continue talking.
"The head of the family, I went to see the doctor today. The doctor said that I had it."
"Have it? What's there?"
Looking at Zhang Yida's confused look on his face, shame and annoyance immediately emerged on the little woman's face.
"The doctor said that I was happy."
"ah?"
Zhang Yida remembers that he got married in February, and he took a special marriage leave at that time. After half a year, he had fewer and fewer separations, but after the four provincial capitals ended, he came back to recuperate. After he recovered, he worked a lot of effort in the last few days before returning to the camp, so that after returning to the camp, he was still joking by the infantry captain who had been married for a long time and had two children.
"Are you sure?"
Zhang Yida wrapped his arms around. The little woman bit her lower lip lightly, with a low smile, and then replied "Yes" and explained to the beloved man in front of her: "I was not sure at the beginning. I went back to my parents' home first, and my mother said it should have it. The head of the family didn't have time to come back these two days. The doctor who only went to see today also said that he had it. I think there should be no mistake."
"I have it, I have it, haha, I really have it!"
He hugged his wife in his arms, and then Zhang Yida let go of his arms again, pulled his wife to the tablet of his ancestors to bow down, and reported the good news to the ancestors, and then gently stroked his wife's abdomen that had not yet appeared, and his joy was beyond words.
However, the happiness here has frozen a little. The air, which was soon blown by a knock on the door. It was getting late, and Zhang Yida went to open the door with doubts. He saw an official from the yamen in the yamen of the Imperial Office, carrying a team of yamen runners with iron rulers, water and fire sticks and ropes.
"What's the point of yourselves?"
"Did you call Feng Qi two years ago, and later joined the army and regained your surname Zhang Yida?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yida was shocked and nodded immediately.
"In June of the sixth year of Yongli, Feng Jingshi, a wealthy man from Hengdian Town, disappeared. He was found to have been killed in a secret room in the study. Now, after investigation, our Dongyang County Criminal Office has confirmed that you are seriously suspected of this case. I would like to ask you to follow me to go to the Criminal Office!"
The secret hidden in his heart for a year was revealed, and Zhang Yida was stunned on the spot. In a flash, he suddenly remembered that when he was drinking today, he seemed to have heard a familiar saying that the old house in the Feng family that was rumored to be haunted by someone a few months ago seemed to have been bought by someone. Once he thought of this, he was immediately shocked and sweated.
"I am an officer and I am under the jurisdiction of the Military Justice Department. You, the Criminal Department, have no right to arrest me."
"Stop talking nonsense, tied up!"
……………………
"Zhang Yida is an officer from Shentang Camp, and he uses the rank of the Rong Cunting Captain as the captain of the firearms team. This person is a member of the army. What qualifications are the subordinates of your officials who have investigated, arrested, and interrogated him?!"
"As Judge Qi Jun said, the suspect Zhang Yida was indeed an officer, but the victim Feng Jingshi was a civilian household. The Dongyang County Criminal Office naturally has the right to accept the case."
Qi Xiufeng is the head of the Military Law Department, responsible for the implementation of military law regulations, while Han Qizheng was in charge of the Criminal Division as a magistrate of Jinhua Prefecture, and the Dongyang County Criminal Division was his subordinate. However, this matter involves a lot. The Criminal Division's official insisted on arresting and interrogating the officers, which really made him extremely dissatisfied, but in front of outsiders, he naturally had to speak out and protect one or two. For nothing else, the authority of the Criminal Division's official must be maintained, which is the unshirkable responsibility of the chief officer.
Only Chen Wen, Sun Yu, Qi Xiufeng and Han Qizheng were left in the huge conference room. Chen Wen was still sitting there quietly closing his eyes to rest, while Sun Yu looked irritable and tired, but he didn't know whether it was the argument between Qi Xiufeng and Han Qizheng or for something else.
"What a right to accept it. The meaning of your official is that our military and judicial department will also listen to your criminal yamen in the future?"
"Qi Xiufeng, don't take things out of context with me here!"
"Enough!"
With a "bang", as Chen Wen slapped the table, Qi Xiufeng and Han Qizheng, who were just quarreling, blushing and thick-necked, quickly saluting and apologizing, saying that they were guilty of death.
"Where is Zhang Yida now?"
"If you return to the Marquis, you are still in the prison of the Dongyang County Criminal Office."
"Escort to Jinhua Mansion, let the people from the Military and Justice Department supervise from the side, and let the officials involved in the investigation, arrest and interrogation come together."
"The lower official obeys the order."
To quell the Cao Conglong Rebellion, as the person who was a ruthless person at that time, Han Qi was always cautious in front of Chen Wen. If it weren't for the fact that the matter had been forced to do this, he would not dare to make a big fuss here in front of Chen Wen and Qi Xiufeng. After Chen Wen said this, Han Qizheng hurriedly retreated, and even Qi Xiufeng was also retreated by Chen Wenhui.
"Fu Ren, although this matter is small, the obstacles are very serious."
"It's true, specifically, let's make a decision after the person in question arrives. However, the taste here seems to be a little bit wrong."
Taking a deep breath, Chen Wen called someone to come to Zhou Jingting and said a few words to him. Zhou Jingting bowed and left the conference hall again, leaving only Chen Wen and Sun Yu to continue discussing other matters, some issues that were not convenient for public discussion.
