Loan Wusheng

Chapter 43 Future

After something like this happened, there was naturally no leisure time to drink and eat meat.

Zheng Jun took Wang Laizi and walked quickly towards the Heishan County Military Headquarters, intending to report the matter to the county lieutenant Cai Xun.

Although it is unlikely to count on Bian Kuang, the ninth disciple of Yuan Yi Zhenren of Canghai Sect, to crush Canghai Sect on the ship of treason, at least he can use the help of the imperial court to intimidate the Canghai Sect and prevent them from sending disciples to seek revenge at will.

This way, you can also give yourself some time to develop.

After I have fully grown, it will be time to go there with a knife in hand and massacre the Canghai Sect!

Zheng Jun is not used to the feeling of someone always thinking about him.

"Wang Laizi, I have taken note of what you just said."

As they walked forward, Zheng Jun suddenly spoke, which made Wang Laizi happy. However, before Wang Laizi could open his mouth to express his loyalty, Zheng Jun said, "Tell me about the situation of the people in the Zhuangban. Are there any petty officials in the Zhuangban who bully men and women and run rampant in the streets?"

"Have!"

Wang Laizi was quick-witted and started to name a few names without hesitation: "Wang Qi is like this! He was a distant relative of Wang Wu back then. He was usually very arrogant. Half a year ago, he tried to forcefully marry the daughter of a charcoal seller. The family couldn't afford to offend him, so they had to move out of the county town overnight and returned to their hometown. Then he kept pursuing him..."

"There is also Zhao San. His real name is Zhao Shan. Because Zhao Da and Zhao Er were arrogant in the Third Class, he changed his name to Zhao San to curry favor with Zhao Da and Zhao Er. What he likes most is to pick trouble on the street and arrest some vendors and put them in jail. If they pay, he will let them go; if they don't pay, they will stay in jail for ten days or half a month. Previously, there was a small chestnut vendor who offended him and was taken to jail and beaten to death."

"Besides that, there is Yang Le who has already passed away. He was also involved with Zhao Da before. As long as it is not a case of murder, the wealthy families in the county can all pay to avoid disaster."

After hearing what Wang Laizi said, Zheng Jun turned his head and nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

However, these are only Wang Laizi's one-sided words. Zheng Jun naturally would not believe them completely. He would at least inquire more and confirm that they are correct before taking any action.

I won't tolerate this kind of people under my command.

What kind of skill is it to swing a knife at someone weaker than you?
The virtue of an official is like the wind, while the virtue of an official is like the grass.

When the wind blows on the grass, the grass will inevitably fall with the wind.

The style of the people below depends entirely on the people above.

Now that Zheng Jun is in charge of the overall situation of Zhuangban, he must naturally rectify the administration of officials. He does not have the ability to rectify the administration of the entire Zhou Dynasty, but it is still necessary to rectify the administration of officials under his command.

When they entered the Bingmasi, it was already late in the evening. The two county soldiers guarding the Bingmasi saw two figures from afar and immediately looked unfriendly.

He originally wanted to yell at the strangers to leave, but when he saw that the person holding the lantern in front was Wang Laizi, who was distributing silver in the afternoon, he glanced at Zheng Jun behind him and immediately smiled: "It turns out that it is Zheng Bantou! Zheng Bantou came to the military headquarters to pay a visit to the county lieutenant?"

After that, he took the initiative to make way for Zheng Jun and reminded him, "The county lieutenant has not left the house this afternoon. No one is allowed to disturb him. If you don't have anything important to do, I advise you not to cause trouble. Just say hello to Mr. Cai San, Mr. Cai Liu, or Mr. Cai Qi who are beside the county lieutenant."

Money can make the world go round.

All the soldiers and runners in the county had received the money from Zheng Jun's property confiscation, so naturally they were extremely friendly towards him.

Such a small thing that requires little effort will naturally be mentioned.

"Thank you, brothers."

Zheng Jun bowed and smiled at the two of them, then stepped into the military headquarters.

Wang Laizi did not follow Zheng Jun, but stopped in front of two county soldiers and greeted them.

The matter of paying a visit to the county lieutenant had nothing to do with him as a clerk.

Zheng Jun walked quickly past the Bingmasi. When the county soldiers who were resting along the way saw Zheng Jun, they all took the initiative to greet him. Those who didn't know him thought that Zheng Jun was the captain or captain of the Bingmasi.

The army has always admired brave men.

If Zheng Jun had only given out silver, everyone would have appreciated it, but they would not have shown him such respect.

In addition to giving out money, Zheng Jun also punched Zhang Qingyu to death in front of everyone!
He has both power and virtue.

Natural and convincing.

"Here comes Saburo."

Cai Liu saw Zheng Jun from afar. He was amazed to see that Zheng Jun won respect from the surrounding county soldiers when he was walking around. Then he took the initiative to step forward and said to Zheng Jun with a smile: "Is there anything important that I want to see you for, sir?"

Cai Liu also reminded him, "Young Master is studying the 'Smashing Jade Pillar Technique'. If Sanlang has nothing serious to do, then he should not be disturbed."

"Old senior, the clerks in my class are inviting me to have a drink tonight. When I go to the appointment..." Zheng Jun recounted what had just happened word for word.

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, Cai Liu also fell silent.

After a moment of silence, Cai Liu couldn't help but ask, "You mean, in a one-on-one fight, you cut off the arm of the ninth disciple of Yuan Yi Zhenren of Canghai Sect?"

"Yes, Bian Kuang is not well-trained, his level is average, and he has not practiced in actual combat for a long time, so he is vulnerable." Zheng Jun clasped his fists and said, "He is not as good as Zhang Ni and Tian Ni, and he is not even as good as Lou Wei. It's just that Lou Wei's martial arts skills are half a level lower than his."

After hearing Zheng Jun's confirmation, Cai Liu fell silent again.

When they first met, Zheng Jun was at a disadvantage when fighting against Lou Wei, who was just beginning to gather his energy, and it was necessary for the young master to take action before he could kill Lou Wei with his sword.

I didn't expect that he would be so vicious now!

He first blocked Tian Zhenyuan's escape route, then exchanged a move and let Tian Zhenyuan get hit by a punch.

Then he faced Zhang Qingyu directly. Although he had the help of himself and Cai Jiu, he still killed Zhang Qingyu with a real punch.

If the first two battles today were not done by one person, then the fact that he killed the disciples of Canghai Sect alone tonight could not be false.

Horror!
Cai Liu now feels that if he fights with Zheng Jun, he will end up in trouble.

Cai Liu took a deep breath and said to Zheng Jun, "I will go and inform the young master. Zheng Sanlang will take a rest on the side."

"Sanlang, you can also think about it. What do you want to do next? Come to Bingmasi and take the path of a military officer, become a foot soldier captain, and command the three hundred foot soldiers of Heishandu, or take the path of a civil official and be promoted to Dianshi."

"Sanlang has made great contributions. After the merits are rewarded, he will definitely be promoted to the position of Dutou or Dianshi."

Cai Liu said with a hint of meaning: "Of course, if Sanlang wants to take the military examination, there is no problem. You don't have to worry about your status as a lowly person. It's a small matter, just write it down casually."

After saying this, Cai Liu turned around and left to inform Cai Xun.

Zheng Jun stood there and began to think.

Should I become a foot soldier commander or a military officer, or take the military examination?
As this matter concerns his future, Zheng Jun fell into deep thought.

The head of the infantry is a position in the army.

Apart from special cases, in ordinary armies, ten people form a squad with a squad leader; five squads form a group with a group leader; six groups form a city with a city leader; six cities form a team with a team leader; six teams form a battalion with a colonel; six battalions form an army with a general.

A county's military department would probably have two chief and deputy chief officers. One was the infantry chief, who commanded 300 infantrymen and was a regular chief officer; the other was the cavalry chief, who commanded no more than a dozen cavalrymen and was just called a chief officer. His actual position was that of a deputy chief officer, an assistant to the infantry chief officer.

Becoming the head of the infantry meant that Zheng Jun officially became an eighth-rank military officer of the Great Zhou court.

The Dianshi was an official position in the county government. Generally speaking, his status was somewhat similar to that of a chief steward, a ninth-rank military officer, but because he was connected to the government office, he had more room for promotion.

As for the military examination, there is no need to say much.

If one succeeds in the military examination, his future is bright in the prefectures and counties, where he can serve as a military advisor or grain officer. Although he is also a military officer of the eighth or ninth rank, his future is very different.

Zheng Jun thought for a moment and made a decision.

The head of the infantry!

As for the military examination, one must rely entirely on the Cai family’s network of connections, and from then on, one is tied to the Cai family’s ship!

Regardless of whether it is the head of the infantry or the registrar.

These are all brought by my own real achievements. Although I also owe a favor to the Cai family, there is a difference between complete support and gratitude!

The reason why he was appointed as the head of the infantry instead of the registrar was because Zheng Jun felt that something was not right in this world.

At least in Pingzhang County, something is not right.

If the Qingshui Gang wants to rebel, they definitely have someone supporting them from behind.

In that case, he would be a Dianshi in the county government, in charge of three shifts with about 180 people.

It would be better to join the army directly as a general, with three hundred trained infantrymen who can form battle formations under your command!
Even if the situation is not right tomorrow, I still have 300 infantrymen in my hands and I am full of confidence!
