Qian Song

Chapter 162 The Current Situation of the Heroes (Ask for a Monthly Ticket!)
...

Shi Bin came back with a piece of steamed sea fish and a piece of stir-fried pork with seasonal vegetables. The staple food was rice. Just eat as much as you want, and don't waste it.

Sitting down between Zhang Shun and Peng Qi, Shi Bin said carelessly: "Just eat here, I also have to eat the tiger ben army until they disband before leaving."

It's not that Shi Bin has never had a big bowl of wine and a big piece of meat.

But those days are so rare.

In Shi Bin's impression, since the uprising, they were either escaping or fighting the Song army. They had never been safe, always hungry and full.

Later, after they voted in the Song Army, the food of the Forbidden Army was plentiful, and there were many kinds of meat, not only pork, but also chicken, fish, duck, etc., and they, the Xiangjun, were all vegetable porridge every day. Officials also used brown rice to make good rice, and exchanged small buckets for big buckets. During the time in the Song Army, Shi Bin never had enough to eat, and even a bird faded out of his mouth.

How can it be compared with the Huben Army, the buyer must post the daily expenditure details on the notice board, and if he dares to be greedy, he will be decisive.

In addition, the food standard of the Huben Army is slightly higher than that of the Forbidden Army.

In this way, the soldiers of the Huben Army can naturally eat well.

Shi Bin looked around again and asked, "Where are Brother Yang Zhi and Brother Guan Sheng?"

Zhang Shun pointed to a table not far away. Yang Zhi was chatting and laughing with several generals and several supervisors in the army. One of the intermediate supervisors was still talking to Yang Zhi, and Yang Zhi could hear it frequently. Nodding, his face was full of anticipation and excitement.

Shi Bin vaguely remembered that the last time Yang Zhi showed such an expression, it seemed that Xin Xingzong said he was optimistic about Yang Zhi, but the next day, Yang Zhi killed hundreds of Fang Layi army soldiers by himself.

Shi Bin swept aside again, and saw that the commander Zhang Datie was "teaching opportunities face to face" with Guan Sheng. Guan Sheng nodded in agreement calmly, not because Zhang Datie was very optimistic about him, he had a flattering look and was very general demeanor.

Seeing this, Shi Bin was not without envy: "I don't know what kind of shit luck Guan Sheng had, to be favored by Zhang Tongzhi!"

Yang Zhi is also doing well, several commanders and military supervisors are very optimistic about him.

At this time, Zhang Shun suddenly said: "Tell you two, Zhang Jianjun talked to me before. He said that I am good at swimming and know how to maneuver a boat. He suggested that I go to the navy to develop. He also said that if I go to the water Army, most of them can manage a ship first, I want to give it a try.”

Shi Bin was startled when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Brother, is this going to leave me?"

Zhang Shun took a deep breath, then let it out again, and said: "There is always a banquet in the world. Today, brother and Wu Xuexue have left me for several months, and we don't have to be together."

After a pause, Zhang Shun continued: "Besides, I am not good at fighting in battle formations. I am good at water warfare. Therefore, I want to develop in the navy."

Before Shi Bin could speak again, Peng Qi said first, "I support my brother, brotherhood is not restricted by region, no matter where my brother goes, we are all brothers, and I heard that the treatment of the navy is very good. Then you can eat seafood, have more holidays, and get promoted quickly."

Zhang Shun smiled, acquiescing to what Peng Qi said, the navy does have its advantages.

After a pause, Peng Qi said again: "And I may leave as well."

Shi Bin and Zhang Shun looked at Peng Qi.

Peng Qi smiled and said: "Zhang Jianjun also looked for me. He told me that I have a good temper and wanted to recommend me to study in the Ministry of War for fifteen days."

They have been in the Huben Army for several months, how could Shi Bin and Zhang Shun not know that basically anyone who returned from studying in the Ministry of War will be promoted and appointed?
And with Peng Qi's current command status, when he returns from studying in the Ministry of War, he will definitely be promoted to the middle-level supervising army.

In other words, when Peng Qi comes back again, he will be at the same level as the commander, and he will be in charge of 500 troops with the commander.

When Shi Bin saw it, he couldn't help being a little envious, and a little bit uncomfortable.

After dinner, Shi Bin returned to his residence alone and lonely.

——The brothers are all settled, but he, Shi Bin, is still a commander, not much different from when he came, which makes him unable to follow and at a loss.

At this moment, a guard approached Shi Bin: "Commander, there is an official who calls himself "Wu Yong" and wants to see Commander."

As soon as he heard that Wu was here, Shi Bin, who was lonely and lonely, immediately went out.

The guard caught up and handed a booklet to Shi Bin: "Please sign the command for me, I need to report it truthfully."

The Huben Army implements the separation of civil and military affairs, the separation of military and government, soldiers are not allowed to participate in politics, and civilian officials are not allowed to contact the army. Therefore, in the Huben Army, literature is civil, and military is military. The two sides do not belong to each other and have the same social status.

It is precisely because of this that civil servants and military generals have to register for the record if they want to meet, and someone will conduct a unified inquiry and investigation afterwards.

In this regard, the warriors who have been suppressed by the literati for almost 200 years have nothing to dislike.

The same is true of Shi Bin.

So, Shi Bin happily signed for the guard, and then met Wu Yong.

Compared with a few months ago, Wu Yong has more official temperament, and his complexion is not as bad as when he was brutally forced into the army by Xin Xingzong.

As soon as the two met, Shi Bin said excitedly: "The pedant is finally willing to come and see me."

Wu Yong said with a smile on his face: "It's not that my brother and I forgot about you brothers, it's because my brother and I have been too busy recently."

Speaking of this, Wu Yong continued to say with both emotion and showing off: "You wait in the army, and you don't know everything. Recently, my tiger and cardinal army is waiting to be rebuilt. I wait for the opportunity to be responsible for several things, and I can't be free for a day. , I was so busy that I almost begged the governor to release me as a county magistrate and take a rest for a while."

When Shi Bin heard that Wu Yong had the opportunity to be the head of a county, he was surprised and said, "Scholar can be a parent officer?"

Wu Yong said with a smile: "After all, I am a close friend of the governor. If I am sent down, I will definitely be promoted. My county magistrate is actually nothing. If my brother is sent down, I will not know a state at all."

Shi Bin was even more surprised: "My brother is so highly valued by the governor?"

Wu Yong nodded: "Brother is now in charge of Jiyi writing. You can see the governor at any time and meet Chen Zhengjian. There is not much difference from Chen Junshi and others."

Seeing that Song Jiang was so good that he could almost be compared with Chen Kuutong, Shi Bin said with emotion: "When I was here, I waited to come to vote for the governor, and I did the right thing."

Wu Yong echoed: "That's right, today the governor will personally march on Guangnan West Road, and ask my brother to lead me to advise Kong Xianggong first. If my brother is expected to deal with those barbarians this time, the governor will be promoted to brother Yi, Fushui, and Nanyang." The resettlement envoy of Danzhou asked my brother to be fully responsible for using political, diplomatic, military and other means to coordinate and command, and completely relieve the barbarians there."

Shi Bin exclaimed: "This is also the great official of the frontier!"

Wu Yong said with a smile: "It's not done yet, even if it is done, it's just a temporary setup. After my brother solves the barbarian problem, the governor will definitely transfer my brother back to Hangzhou."

Shi Bin said with a smile: "How can it be the same? At this time, my brother is also a high-ranking official."

Wu Yong smiled and said nothing, obviously, he thought so too.

Of course, the premise is that Song Jiang can solve the ethnic minorities on Guangnan West Road.

However, looking at Wu Yong and Shi Bin, it seems that this is not a problem at all.

Not long after, Yang Zhi, Guan Sheng, Zhang Shun and Peng Qi also came.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Wu Yong whispered to Shi Bin and the others: "Brother, I just got news that there will be a big change in personnel in the army, and it seems to be related to you and other new recruits."

Speaking of this, Wu Yong said with some regret: "However, our Huben army is not under the control of each other, and my brother doesn't know about any major changes."

After hearing Wu Yong's words, Yang Zhi and Guan Sheng glanced at each other, and then Yang Zhi said, "I know something about this."

Wu Yong and Shi Bin looked at Yang Zhi.

Yang Zhi didn't make a fool of himself, and said bluntly: "The governor said that one general is incompetent, and thousands of troops will be exhausted. Therefore, a general needs to have military exploits, and more importantly, ability. Based on this, the governor will use this bandit suppression as an assessment. Those with great meritorious service and outstanding abilities will be promoted and appointed exceptionally."

Guan Sheng took over the conversation and said: "This policy is mainly designed for us new voters, and the governor is afraid that some of us new voters will be buried, so he promulgates the Rui Policy."

Yang Zhi nodded: "This time is indeed a godsend opportunity for us new voters. Zhang Jianjun said that our army is responsible for exterminating bandits in Fanyang Lake, Jiuhua Mountain, Huangshan Mountain, and Huaiyu Mountain. There are no fewer than [-] bandits, and the bandits who beat me up in Hongzhou last time were dominated by these bandits."

Guan Sheng went on to say: "The leaders of these gangs of bandits include Songyang local tyrant Ye Chun, Ye Tianlin and his son, Lishui local tyrant Liang Jiang and brother Liang Hui, Suian local tyrant Zhan Taihe, etc. Stay on the safe side."

Hearing Yang Zhi and Guan Sheng sing together like a few treasures there, Wu Yong couldn't help being a little embarrassed—he and Song Jiang still thought that they could help their brothers by being in the central government and beside the supreme leader, who would have thought that what they knew The news is simply not enough for the brothers to read.

Wu Yong couldn't help feeling: "The division of civil and military affairs by the governor is very effective."

But Shi Bin thought to himself: "After all, he is valued by the powerful, and the news is so well-informed."

Not wanting to, Zhang Shun suddenly took over the topic and said: "I have heard about this matter. It is said that this battle will be dominated by my new recruits, and the old generals will watch the enemy and just in case."

Unexpectedly, Peng Qi then retorted: "Brother is wrong, it is good that the old general does not participate in the war, but the supervising army is not included, and the supervising army is going to suppress the bandits together."

Zhang Shun said: "I've never heard of this."

Yang Zhi nodded: "That's true. However, the supervising army is not only assisting us in fighting, but also responsible for assessing our abilities such as bravery, decisiveness, and adaptability. How about our assessment results depends on our performance and on the other hand. How does the army report."

Seeing that Yang Zhi seemed to want to go the wrong way, Guan Sheng quickly reminded: "Zhang Tongzhi told me that you must never bribe the supervising army, or you will regret it too late."

This time Wu Yongneng interrupted. He lowered his voice and reminded the brothers: "Since Niu Meng's rebellion happened, the governor was furious and allowed Wu Desi and the pro-army Duwei Mansion to place spies in the army to monitor the generals. , all the supervisors of the army, and recently the governor intends to set up a military intelligence department to be responsible for collecting military information, you and others must not do stupid things."

Peng Qi then warned Yang Zhi: "Most of the supervisors are loyal and upright people who are loyal to the governor. If you bribe them, you will probably be reported."

Yang Zhi hurriedly said: "I just remind you to wait and pay attention to getting along with the supervising army."

Peng Qi said: "That's not bad. The generals only need to fight and train troops. The supervising army is responsible for all other matters. What's more, the supervising army will issue any orders and policies of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion."

Yang Zhi added: "If we are rewarded, we need to ask the supervising army."

Zhang Shun said: "In my opinion, the supervising army seems to have more authority than the general."

Peng Qi said with a smile: "The division of labor is different. Generals are in charge of warfare, while military supervisors are in charge of life. The two are about the same size."

Zhang Shun retorted with a smile: "There are more wartimes, and more non-wartimes?"

Peng Qi did not refute this time.

Seeing this, Zhang Shun opened up another topic: "It seems that the navy has a similar opportunity. It is said that it is going to the South China Sea to clear up the water thieves in the sea. According to you, should I go to Zhang Jianjun to apply for the transfer of the navy now?" Army, maybe I can catch up with this opportunity for promotion."

Yang Zhi, Guan Sheng and Peng Qi said in unison: "Naturally."

They glanced at each other, and then Yang Zhixian said: "How can such a good opportunity come often, we must cherish it."

Guan Sheng also said: "This time because there were too many new votes in the Song army, the governor couldn't bear to bury the talents among them, so he surrendered to Ruizheng. I don't know how long it will take to have such a good thing again next time. If I were you, I would wait a while So I went to Zhang Jianjun to talk about it."

Peng Qi said: "The supervising army takes a lot of time to make a suggestion. Supervising Jun Yang suggested that you be transferred to the navy, but most of them don't want you to be buried in the army. He also knows that this opportunity is once in a lifetime. I'm afraid you will miss it. You can't let it down." kindness."

Hearing what the brothers said, Zhang Shun made up his mind, and went to Zhang Jianjun to apply for transfer to the navy army in a while.

Seeing that all the brothers had found their positions and their opportunities, Shi Bin became more and more lonely. He couldn't figure it out, how did he become the worst one by mixing it up?
Seeing that Shi Bin was not in high spirits, Peng Qi took the initiative to say to Shi Bin: "Brother, you need to communicate more with the supervising army, and don't always try to win over your generals. I have been waiting for the Huben Army for several months. Don't you think that Brother has not seen it clearly? It is different from when I was in the Song Army and when I was in the Song Army. In the Huben Army, my brother can't win many people. If my brother wants to leave one day, there will not be many people to follow him. Niu Meng is a lesson from the past."

Others also advised Shi Bin.

Shi Bin was tempted by all the brothers, and felt that he should communicate with Zhang Jianjun, no, even if he only communicated with his partner Feng Chengduo, he would not be so closed.

Just as Shi Bin was thinking about how to communicate with the supervisor, Zhang Jianjun (that is, the senior supervisor Zhang Li) took the initiative to come to Shi Bin's residence.

Seeing this, Shi Bin quickly greeted Zhang Li.

Zhang Li stopped Shi Bin, who wanted to make a big fight: "I will leave after a few words, I still have a lot of things to do."

Shi Bin knew that Zhang Li was really busy, and he didn't want to shirk with him, so he didn't dare to delay Zhang Li's time and said, "Why is the supervising army looking for the last general?"

Zhang Li said bluntly: "Feng Cheng responded to me, you don't want to communicate with him, and even avoid him, is there such a thing?"

After being explained by the brothers, Shi Bin didn't say "I think he's annoying and I don't care about everything", but directly admitted his mistake with a good attitude: "The final general made a mistake, and I will definitely communicate with Brother Feng more in the future."

Seeing that Shi Bin had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, and he didn't look like a fake, Zhang Li put away the long speech he had prepared. Jiaobulimeng, when you are here, you can bring out a strong army, and if you don't communicate with Feng Cheng, you don't know about many major events, just like I just let the supervising army inform that our army is about to go to Fanyang Lake to suppress bandits. It's a god-given opportunity for you to wait for the new investor, but Feng Cheng can't find you, how can I tell you this news, Feng Cheng has no choice but to come to me and ask me to tell you about it..."

This time, Shi Bin realized that Ganqing was not because the Huben Army abandoned him, but because he alienated the Huben Army because of his own cleverness. No wonder he acted like a fool, knowing nothing.

At this moment, Shi Bin finally figured out that he had to make some changes to fit into this new big family...
