Thirty-nine gang fight or heads-up?

The sun shines into Fengtian Hall, Lin Yu waited boredly for Zhu Yousong and the civil and military officials of the hall to finish a episode of Journey to the West, and then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the story in this magical painting machine can't be finished for half a year, so your Majesty doesn't have to hurry up."

Then Zhu Yousong reluctantly turned off the tablet according to Lin Yu's teachings, and then raised his arms and said, "Lin Aiqing has made contributions to offering treasures. I have no rewards for you with gold, silver and jewelry, but I can promote you..."

Zhu Yousong thought for a while and said loudly: "I have decided to award Lin Zhenjiang the title of General Huaiyuan from the third rank, and promoted... to General Yangzhou."

From a fourth-rank general to a third-rank general, there was no one in the Ming Dynasty military officer system. Otherwise, how could Zhu Chongba be a commoner emperor? He was not educated, so he was terrifying!

The military officer system of the Ming Dynasty was confused. The first-rank masters had the front, back and left and right governors, and the first-rank masters had the governors; the second-rank masters had the assistant generals, the commander, the commander generals, the commander generals, and the commander generals, the commander generals, and the deputy commander generals.

The third-rank official has the assistant commander and the commander of the guard; the third-rank official has the commander and the commander of the guard, the commander and the commander of the guard, the commander and the commander of the guard...

Just thinking about it, Lin Yu felt a little overwhelmed. Is this a tongue twister? The military officer system of the Ming Dynasty was definitely the most chaotic in all dynasties!

It is even worse than the Han Dynasty military system more than a thousand years ago. At least the general, the three cavalry general, front, back, left, left, four battles, and four towns can still distinguish between high and low.

The old Zhu family was involved in several commanders, the magistrates and the officers worked hard, but they had not made any progress for more than 200 years. In the end, they were destroyed by Jiannu and could not blame others!

With this military officer system, the civil and military officials in the court even blamed themselves for reforming. If they didn’t reform, would they have to jump into the lake and try to see if the water was cool?

During the Jiajing period, the garrison system collapsed, and a bunch of commanders, magistrates and assistant officials were confused. The court added new official positions and introduced temporary military officer positions such as generals and deputy generals.

However, the old Zhu family has had poor genes since Zhu Chongba, so their descendants have inherited his uncultured culture. The coverage of this general and deputy general ranges from first to fourth ranks. Perhaps this general is the next one in the fourth rank, but becomes first rank, which is still silly and can't tell the difference.

Since the Zhu family is not educated, Lin Yu will not worry about his official position. Anyway, he plans to set up his own business when he is full of wings in the future, so he let Zhu Baba's descendants hold the commander and the general tinker with the trouble.

"I thank you lord!"

Lin Yu bowed to thank him, thinking in his heart that he would make another "baby" to fool Zhu Yousong tomorrow. If he could upgrade to two levels, he would receive a reward of one million gold coins.

Zhu Yousong, who was eye-opening, was in a good mood and had long forgotten the iron-armored cart and ordered a banquet to welcome General Lin.

Soon, the taste of fine wine and delicacies floated in the Wuying Palace. Zhu Yousong and the civil and military officials in the court exchanged cups, drank and talked happily, and talked enthusiastically about the plot of Journey to the West. They were really eye-opening and amazing!

Just when Lin Yu was attending the banquet, Hou Fangyu also met his old friend Yizhi and Chen Zhenhui who had been away for a long time. However, Mao Pijiang took his concubine Dong Xiaowan and left Nanjing and returned to his hometown Rugao to recuperate. This is a pity.

In order to let Lin Yu help him get Li Xiangjun back, Hou Fangyu tried all his best to praise Lin Yu so much that he almost burst into bloom. Fang and Chen were very excited, "If General Lin is willing to reuse our people in the resumption of society, we are willing to help each other and let General Lin be praised throughout the capital!"

After the discussion, the three of them acted separately. They summoned their friends from Fushe to walk onto the streets and alleys to promote Lin Yu's great achievements. Soon, Lin Yu became the hottest figure in Nanjing. Many people rushed to go out of the capital and came to the riverside to see the style of the armored vehicles.

"Haha... If General Lin knew that I had praised him as a saint and a great hero who saved Zhu Ming, he would have been satisfied with my performance, right?" Hou Fangyu shuttled through the crowd and asked Zhang Daniu behind him proudly.

Zhang Daniu raised his hand and scratched his scalp and said silly: "Young Master Hou, I think you praised it a bit too much!"

"Shameless people will flatter you!"

A young man who was about his early twenties, fair and clean, wearing a purple sling, a soft-footed head with a hand-cranked folding fan came out from somewhere, blocking Hou Fangyu's way out.

In the important part of the capital, there were so many young masters from the noble family under the feet of the emperor. Hou Fangyu looked at the other party, but did not intend to have a conflict with the other party, and clasped his fists and said, "Young man, can you borrow a way?"

"Is it good to lend it to your mother?" The boy obviously had a bad visitor, and he said something swearing.

Hou Fangyu suppressed his anger and said, "Young man, I have a grudge against you?"

"You have no grudge against me!"

"Why is there a thing that blocks my way without hatred? Have you never heard of it?"

The young man sneered: "You have no grudges and no grudges with me, but you have grudges with my father! Since you have entered Nanjing City, you can't even think about going out alive!"

"Brother Hou, what are you doing? Have you seen my brother-in-law?"

Just as Hou Fangyu was about to take off, a slightly tender cry suddenly came from the bustling crowd behind him. He turned his head to look and found that it was Lin Yu's brother-in-law Jiang Jibang.

"Brother Jiang, why are you here?" Hou Fangyu looked surprised.

The chubby Jiang Jibang struggled to squeeze out the crowd, followed by two servants in green hats, grabbed Jiang Jibang's arm from the left and right, fearing that he would run away if he was not careful.

Jiang Jibang wiped his nose and said panting: "I heard that my brother-in-law, a fool, came to offer iron armored vehicles. I got up so angry. I didn't ride a horse to the capital to persuade him to drive back. Who knew that my sister actually brought me to catch me."

Hou Fangyu was stunned: "Oh... Mrs. Lin is also here in the capital?"

Jiang Jibang nodded: "I fooled him to go to the inn to find my brother-in-law. I said I would come to the streets to enjoy the prosperity of the capital and no longer interfere with my brother-in-law's decision..."

As he said, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Brother Hou, have you seen my brother-in-law? I want to advise him to drive the iron-armored car back to Yangzhou and never fall into the trick of the old thief Ruan Dacheng. The people of Yangzhou are still counting on it to save their lives!"

"Little fat man, who are you? How dare you insult my father here?" The folding boy was furious and asked loudly.

Jiang Jibang suddenly scolded Hou Fangyu: "Hou Fangyu, you bastard!"

Hou Fangyu was confused: "Why did Brother Jiang suddenly scold me?"

"I scolded his father!" Jiang Jibang showed a humble expression.

The folding fan's eyes almost spit out flames: "My father is Ruan Dacheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War of the current dynasty, and my master is Ruan Xiaocheng, one of the 'Four Young Masters of Nanjing'! Little fat man, I think you are impatient!"

Hou Fangyu's face changed slightly: "So you are Ruan Dacheng's son. No wonder I said I'm a little familiar!"

Jiang Jibang rolled his eyes and snorted: "Hmph... It's amazing that your father is Ruan Dacheng. My uncle is also a cabinet minister in the dynasty, former Minister of War, current Minister of Rites, Grand Secretary of Jianji Palace, and Grand Secretary of the Yangzhou Governor Shigemen...

My brother-in-law is Lin Zhenjiang, the general of Guangling who defeated Jiannu, and my uncle is Liu Zhaoji, and I also have an uncle, the deputy general Ma Yingkui, and I also have a cousin, Shi Dewei, and I also have one..."

Seeing that the two second-generation officials were about to fight in the street, they were all unaffected. The vendors on the street immediately dissipated like a gust of wind, leaving only Ruan Yanei to confront Hou Fangyu and five others.

"Okay, it's so noisy!"

Ruan Xiaocheng's folding fan suddenly folded up, revealing an arrogant look, "No matter who your relative is, you have to be honest when you come to Nanjing City. It's the dragon you are on the plate, and it's the tiger you are on the lie down! In this Nanjing City, I have the final say!"

Jiang Jibang stood in front of Hou Fangyu very righteously, rolled his eyes: "Oh... do you want to fight one by one or a group fight?"

Ruan Xiaocheng's nose tilted: "What is a one-on-one fight or a group fight?"
