Chapter 113: Now that they are all officials, who would still want to be in the underworld?
"Be an official!"

Li Rui's heart warmed when he heard this.

A common saying among the people.

Learning is valuable than anything else.

But we should go further and say that only by holding a high position can one achieve success.

The purpose of studying is to become an official!

If you can become an official, who would want to hang out in the underworld?

Don’t people like him and Zhang Yang like being officials?
Of course, it’s because there is no such opportunity at all.

There were roughly two ways for officials of the State of Yu to enter officialdom. One was the imperial examination. The civil and military examinations were the only way out for children from poor families. The other was recommendation by a noble.

Ten years of hard study is not as good as one word from a noble person.

To be an official, one must have connections in the court.

This is the truth.

If one can gain the appreciation of a high-ranking official, he can skip the imperial examination and directly become an official.

Zhang Yang rubbed his hands: "The officers of the Annan Army are at ease!"

The Annan Army controls the underworld forces in Yunzhou and several surrounding states. There is no doubt that their power is great.

If I could get a position in the Annan Army, I would meet Dao Xiong again in the future.

That means sitting in the seat of honor, and Dao Xiong will toast himself in return!
"Brother Li, there is no age limit this time. The candidates are all selected by Alliance Leader Ning himself, and there is no shady deal. We must prepare early."

Li Rui's heart moved.

The achievement is "becoming a general or a prime minister".

Moreover, being an official is much safer than being a gangster, not to mention being an Annan Army member.

In the territory of Yunzhou.

Who dares to provoke the Annan Army?
Let’s not talk about the distant past, let’s just talk about Wei Ming. Li Rui saw it clearly. Although Wei Ming seemed kind and friendly on the surface, he actually looked down on everyone in his heart.

It's just a matter of saying it.

"This is not targeting anyone, everyone here is garbage."

This is all the confidence given by the Annan Army!

Qinghe New Town.

General's Mansion.

Craftsmen and conscripted laborers were carrying bricks and stones in a hurry, creating a bustling scene.

Wei Ming placed his right hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist.

The matter of the monster has been almost dealt with. Now the top priority is to supervise the construction of the new general's mansion, and we cannot be careless in the slightest.

He spent most of his time in the new town as an overseer.

At this time.

A clear male voice sounded behind him:

"Brother Wei, long time no see."

When Wei Ming turned his head, he saw a middle-aged man in black clothes with gold patterns and a tall posture.

A look of joy:
"Brother Ning."

The person in front of him was none other than Ning Zhongtian, the leader of the Tiandi Alliance and one of the garrisons of An Ning Guard.

Ning Zhongtian punched Wei Ming in the chest: "Remember to call me garrison commander if you see me next time!"

Wei Ming covered his chest and said sourly, "A sixth-rank punch really hurts."

As the saying goes.

I am not afraid of my brothers’ suffering, I am just afraid of my brothers being more powerful than a tiger.

Seeing that the brother who used to pee with you has now become your immediate boss is more painful than killing him.

Ning Zhongtian was very proud:
"Don't be jealous. If you have the ability, you can break through."

Wei Ming rolled his eyes.

Is the breakthrough something he can get if he wants it?
Wei Ming was a little surprised: "Lei Tou and the Cao guy don't get along, why are you still thinking of coming to An Ning Wei?"

Ning Zhongtian was helpless:
"There are only a few positions in the Annan Army. If you don't come to Anningwei, you will have to wait at least five years."

Wei Ming deeply agreed with this.

Unlike those border troops, the Annan Army rarely suffered casualties, let alone officers.

It is common to hold a position for more than ten years.

Who can become an officer without the support of bigwigs behind him? It is very difficult to ask these people with complicated connections to move aside.

In most cases, you can only work hard to gain experience. He has been waiting for three years for this position of general flag.

Wei Ming was somewhat gloating: "Since you are here, you should behave yourself from now on."

He could even guess Ning Zhongtian's future development path.

First, he will sort out his rank in An Ning Wei and become a garrison. As long as he stays there peacefully for a few years, Lei Yong will find a reason to transfer Ning Zhongtian to his Youyun Wei.

Ning Zhongtian saw through Wei Ming's thoughts at a glance:
"Do you know who is the soldier of our An Ning Guard?"

Wei Ming was startled and asked quickly, "Have you decided to join the army?"

The army of the Yu State has always been composed of one civil and one military.

The Seventeen Guards of the Annan Army are each composed of one Lieutenant General and one Lieutenant General. The two are of equal rank and check and balance each other.

The lieutenant general is responsible for the daily training of troops and wartime command.

The soldiers are responsible for food, fodder, weapons and supervision.

To put it bluntly, the emergence of joining the army is to prevent the emergence of soldiers in the court army who only recognize the general and are ignorant of the affairs of the king, and to prevent someone from holding his own troops and thus eliminate any possibility of rebellion.

But before Wei Ming came to Qinghe, the candidates for joining the army had not been decided yet.

It is said that several big men were vying for this position.

It was not easy to offend General Xue, so the matter was shelved and remained unresolved for a long time.

Ning Zhongtian smiled complacently and kept the audience in suspense on purpose.

Wei Ming was so eager that he urged: "My Lord, please stop keeping us in suspense and tell us now."

"Call daddy."

"Go to hell."

Ning Zhongtian said, "It's Elder Jiang from Huaqing Sect."

"Jiang Linxian?!"

Wei Ming's eyes widened.

It was unexpected that Jiang Linxian became a military officer of Anningwei. After all, Jiang Linxian had never participated in politics.

Ning Zhongtian narrowed his eyes: "I heard from General Lei that this matter was decided by His Majesty."

I heard that it was the decision made by the pilgrim.

Wei Ming smacked his lips.

"They are all gods, we can't afford to offend them."

Behind Lieutenant General Cao Wei is the Fifth Prince, so the Emperor personally appointed and dismissed him from the position of Lieutenant General. This move is very interesting.

Ning Zhongtian: "Those are matters of the big shots, but Elder Jiang and General Lei have a good relationship. Before I came here, General Lei told me to just listen to Elder Jiang in everything."

Wei Ming nodded.

With Jiang Linxian's protection, Ning Zhongtian really doesn't have to live under someone else's roof and behave himself.

He reminded Wei Ming:
"Old Wei, don't think that our An Ning Guards have an easy job. I heard that the guys from the Ghost Sect are so bold that they dared to steal the dragon energy of the Yu Kingdom. They are clearly planning a rebellion!"

"For this reason, our Majesty has made it clear that not a single apostate will be left alive."

Wei Ming grinned:

"These lunatics, the Great Xuan has been destroyed for thousands of years, do you really think you can restore the country?"

"Who knows."

Ning Zhongtian replied, and then patted Wei Ming on the shoulder: "Come on, follow me to the Tiandi Alliance."

Of course Wei Ming knew.

In addition to being a garrison commander, Ning Zhongtian is also the leader of the Tiandi Alliance.

The imperial court is not opposed to such matters, but the affairs of the imperial court must be the priority, otherwise the censors of the Censorate will not sit idly by.

By chance, Ning Zhongtian helped Lei Yong solve a big and difficult problem.

Only then was he valued by Lei Yong and recruited into the Annan Army.

Although he no longer participates much in the affairs of the Tiandi Alliance, his status as the leader of the alliance has always been there.

Wei Ming had already guessed what Ning Zhongtian was thinking.

"Aren't you afraid that others will sue you for nepotism?"

Ning Zhongtian sneered:
"Pedantism."

“Am I being nepotistic?”

"I clearly promote the most virtuous people, regardless of personal connections, and appoint people based on their merits!"
