Chapter 139 The Liu family can't sit still
Chongzhen promoted Liu Jun to a guerrilla general, but in fact he had high hopes for him. ○ Xiong Wencan promoted Liu Jun to the garrison of Macheng, and only divided into five counties including Macheng. The garrison was divided into one city or several cities, and was generally the main defense.
What Chongzhen liked was Liu Jun's impulse and courage, and he was not willing to let such a brave young player just sit in a corner and defend passively.
He hopes that Liu Jun can play a greater role and take the initiative to attack. He even hopes that Liu Jun can become a positive example of a general he established and have a more positive driving effect.
The guerrilla generals were one level higher than the garrison. The troops who commanded their own battalions were also called gamblers. However, they did not have a fixed defense ground, but were gamblers. They cooperated with the governor, the general's model barracks, the deputy general's strange barracks, and the reinforcements barracks of the general's reinforcements to assist in the battle.
Liu Jun was a garrison in Macheng, but he was just sitting in the east of Hubei and defending five counties. However, he could marching and fighting throughout Huguang, and even be transferred outside Huguang as a guest soldier to participate in the battle.
"Please have a meal for the emperor."
At this time, a beautiful palace maid came to Chongzhen and asked him to have a meal. Chongzhen said oh, put down his pen, stood up and walked out of the warm pavilion.
As usual, the emperor had a rich meal. He was filled with dozens of meat and vegetables. In front of him, he was the only one who ate so many dishes. In addition to some special days, he summoned the emperor or a concubine to accompany him. There were many palace maids and eunuchs standing next to him, and as usual, there were female musicians from the Lefangsi playing drums.
Chongzhen ate a little boredly, facing the dishes on the table. In fact, he only ate two or three dishes in front of him for each meal. Sometimes he also wanted to reduce such support, but these were all etiquette and rules passed down from the palace, so he did not like to change it.
While eating this breakfast bored, he thought that he had planned to give Liu Jun some gold and silver, but the national treasury was as clean as ever. The same was true for his own treasury. The Ming Dynasty and the Ming Emperor were even richer than those ministers.
"Liu Jun was specially given a flying fish suit, a ten horse, and a reward of 1,000 taels of silver from the treasury."
In the end, Chongzhen took a thousand taels of silver from the warehouse with some distress to reward him. Perhaps because he felt that the silver was too little, he finally rewarded ten imperial horses and a flying fish suit.
After Liu Qiao returned to the mansion, he immediately called his three sons Yunsheng, Yunzhen and Yunwen. These three were Liu Qiao's legitimate sons. Compared to the unpromoted son Liu Gang, these three legitimate sons are still very good. The three brothers, the old martial arts master, the second brother is the literary scholar, and the third brother is the supervisor. If Liu Qiao had not been low-key and had been suppressing the three sons, I was afraid that with his status, the three sons must have been civil and military Jinshi.
"The boss will go back to his hometown in Huguang immediately." Liu Qiao told his three sons about Liu Jun, and then asked the boss Yun to go back to Macheng. "Tell you grandfather and uncle, and immediately let Liu Jun recognize his ancestors and return to his hometown, and win over Liu Jun and show kindness. This boy's name is now straight to Tianting. The emperor is appreciating him."
After saying that, Liu Qiao said to Yunsheng again, "After you go back, you don't have to rush back. Just go to Liu Jun's army to do things. I'll write a letter to Liu Jun. You can give him then, and I'll ask him to arrange a military position for you."
Liu Yunsheng was very surprised. Unexpectedly, his father had to arrange for him to go to Liu Jun's camp. With his father's status, he really had to arrange for him to be an official, including the Jing camp, the border town and even the Jinyiwei, so why bother to arrange for an official position in Liu Jun's camp?
Liu Qiao's arrangement has its own profound meaning. Liu Jun is now deeply loved by the holy family. He naturally has a great chance to be outstanding when he arranges his son to enter his camp. He even thinks about letting his son enter the camp and find ways to strengthen his influence on Liu Jun.
On that day, Liu Yunsheng led a team of servants to Huguang to rush back.
The emperor's decree arrived in Macheng quickly through the post station. When the eunuch announced the imperial edict in front of Liu Jun in front of the newly recruited three thousand new recruits and hundreds of old team members in the Hutoubao military camp, Liu Jun was really surprised.
The emperor actually knew his name and even issued an order to promote him again.
"The imperial envoy of the commander of the Huguang Guerrilla General Office is the commander of the commander of the hereditary Jinyiwei and hundreds of households were given flying fish clothes!" The series of rewards almost made Liu Jun a little excited, which was indeed unbelievable and excited. Even though Liu Jun was not so awe of the emperor, he was surprised by the reward.
As for those little silver and horses, he didn't care. He really didn't take it seriously now.
"My memory, Liu Jun, thanks the Lord for his kindness, long live my emperor!" Liu Jun did not dare to be careless, so he solemnly bowed and thanked him, and received the imperial edict.
"Congratulations to General Liu." The eunuch who announced the order said with a smile. Liu Jun stood up and took out a 500 taels of banknotes from his sleeve and handed them over. "My father-in-law worked hard all the way, and he was not respectful. Please invite his father-in-law to have tea." The eunuch glanced at it and saw that it was a 500 taels of banknotes. Liu Jun took out another 100 taels of banknotes, "This is for the brothers who followed him to drink tea. Please accept it with a smile."
The eunuch nodded to Liu Jun with appreciation. Liu Jun is young and very good at doing things.
After taking the money, everyone made a few remarks, and my father-in-law followed Liu Jun's personal soldiers to rest.
"Brother, why is there no fish on this flying suit?" Zhang Shan asked strangely as he looked at the python pattern flying fish suit given by the emperor. The flying fish suit was not as good as an ordinary official robe, but the embroidered on it was not the fish he imagined, but the python pattern.
Liu Jun didn't know much about these, but Liu Zhao was very familiar with these. At this time, he looked at the gift of the clothes excitedly and said to Liu Jun excitedly, "Flying fish pythons also have two horns. The so-called flying fish pattern is a python shape with fins and tails, which are slightly different, not really a flying fish shape. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas. Overseas Western Classic" says that the dragon fish tomb is located north of it, and it looks like a raccoon. Because it can fly, it is a flying fish with its head like a dragon and a corner of the fish body. The style of the flying fish cloak is divided into two pieces of clothes, with two pieces connected at the bottom, and there are folds on the two sides."
"Bulfighting is not a cow, and flying fish is not a fish. The public uniforms and court uniforms of our Ming Dynasty officials are all made according to the rank of officials. The prefix of the official uniforms of civil and military officials is a round patch embroidered with bird and beast patterns to distinguish the grades, which is called replenishment clothes. However, in addition to these replenishment clothes, there are also special gifts given by the emperor, such as python clothes, flying fish clothes, dou fish clothes and kirin clothes."
"Gived garments are the special favors given to the emperor's subordinates. The python clothes, bullfighting clothes, flying fish clothes, and unicorn clothes are all python patterns. Similar to the emperor's dragon patterns, so it is a great honor to get the garments. In this dynasty, if you have any contribution, you can get the python clothes, you can get the first-rank minister's bullfighting clothes, and the second-rank important minister's flying fish clothes, to show your special favor."
Liu Zhao said, staring at the flying fish suit with his eyes shining.
Liu Jun was not too excited after hearing this. It turned out that this flying fish suit was only the third-class among the clothes. To put it bluntly, it was just a piece of clothing, probably similar to the Huangma Gua of the Qing Dynasty later.
It was only then that he realized that when later generations mentioned the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei, they thought of wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring swords, which was not accurate.
The Jinyiwei does have flying fish suits, but not all Jinyiwei have flying fish suits to wear, and the flying fish suits of the Jinyiwei are also different from the flying suits given to second-rank meritorious officials. For example, the flying fish suits obtained by Liu Jun are of golden patterns and are generally only given to second-rank important officials. Liu Jun, a third-rank military officer, was given a special flying fish suit, which is indeed quite honorable.
However, Liu Jun still felt that the guerrilla general came to be a commander. However, he was a real third-rank rank. Now his Wusan rank is General Zhaoyi. In other words, the commander is equivalent to the deputy commander of a provincial military region. Although this commander cannot actually take charge of the affairs of the commander commander. It is only equivalent to a martial rank, Liu Jun was still very happy. The guerrilla general in Huguang has no defense zone, which means he went to the entire Huguang. As long as he did not leave Huguang, there would be no cross-border statement.
This is very convenient.
Shortly after the emperor's decree was announced, Liu Yunsheng also arrived in Macheng. After conveying Liu Qiao's words to the Liu family, Old Master Liu sighed.
"Grandfather, have you had any trouble?" Liu Yunzhen asked.
Liu Chengqi sighed, "It's not your brother, Lao Qi. When I came back, I caused trouble. Last time I had a conflict with Mei Zhihuan, and they didn't care. As a result, I asked your second uncle to go to Hutou Castle a few days ago. I originally wanted to get closer to Liu Jun, but Liu Gang also went with him. He went there, but he ran to the brothel to fight with someone."
"Lao Qi is really a nonsense, but this is not a big deal, right?" Liu Yunsheng said. He knew very well about the illegitimate younger brother. He was a playboy who only knew how to cause trouble all day long. But after all, he was a member of the Liu family, and a fight was nothing.
"A fight is nothing, but it depends on who fights. Lao Qi beats the nephew of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet."
"Gei Lao Yao's nephew?" Liu Yunsheng couldn't help but be shocked. This is a pity for death.
"How is this happening now?"
"Then Mr. Yao refused to give up and still had to pursue the matter. However, Liu Jun was helping to persuade him. The matter had not been broken up yet, but if it was not resolved for a day, it would always be a problem."
Liu Chengqi called Liu Zhong and other brothers back and asked him how he negotiated with Liu Jun.
"I offered to let Liu Jun bring his reign, but he didn't care. Now I can't even find others. Every time I went there, I was blocked by his personal soldiers." Liu Zhong became angry as soon as he mentioned this, "I want me to tell you that Liu Jun is too proud. But for a small guard, should we still rush to ask him for reference, so why not forget it."
Liu Yunsheng said on the side, "Second uncle, the situation is different now. The emperor now knows Liu Jun, and he personally promoted Liu Jun to the guerrilla general of Huguang, rewarded him with a hundred hereditary households, and gave him a flying fish suit."
Liu Zhong opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say.
"Second uncle, why did Liu Jun refuse to return to his hometown? Is there any conflict with our Liu family?"
"There is no conflict. In fact, it was just that he came to recognize his relatives on his own initiative, but his grandfather refused. Later, he smuggled salt and copied the 20,000 taels of banknotes that your third uncle gave to his three concubines. Liu Jun took the 20,000 taels of banknotes to exchange for money, but your third uncle refused. I had already explained this to Liu Jun a few days ago that the 20,000 taels of silver belonged to your third uncle, not Zhao Wu. And I also proposed to give out 5,000 taels of silver to Liu Jun, but he was not satisfied at all. It seemed that he wanted to take the 20,000 taels of silver."
Liu Yunsheng nodded and said, "Then give him the twenty thousand taels of silver."
"What? How can this work? That silver is originally the third brother's..." Liu Zhong said dissatisfied.
Liu Yunsheng shook his head, "Second uncle, it's only 20,000 taels of silver. Is our Liu family still short of this little money?" The Jinghu Ding clan like the Liu family did not take the 20,000 taels of silver seriously. It's just that Liu Chengqi and Liu Zhong were unwilling to take it out before. But Liu Yunsheng knew the priorities, and his father told him to take Jun Guizong. Now the emperor knows that Liu Jun is a member of the Liu family, but this is not clear. What will happen if this is passed on to the emperor?
What's more, Liu Jun's status is different now. People who value them in front of the emperor certainly cannot be resentful for 20,000 taels of silver. The best way is to let him return to his hometown and become a supporter of the Liu family.
"Can..."
"If the third uncle refuses to pay, the money will be paid from the public account of the clan."
"But Liu Jun doesn't see us at all now. Now he has been promoted to guerrilla again, so I'm afraid he will become more arrogant." Liu Zhong said.
"Liu Jun doesn't want to see us, so let's look for Liu Xiu. I believe Liu Xiu will definitely be willing to return to the clan as soon as possible." Liu Chengqi also understood the situation at this time and spoke immediately. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
