Song Dynasty

Chapter 107 Get what you want ([-])
The so-called "three lives of misfortune, magistrate attached to Guo; three lives of evil, attached to the provincial capital of Guo; full of evil, attached to Guo Jingcheng." It means that the magistrate and the magistrate are in the same city, so his every move will be restrained, exhausted, and completely free. The prestige of "parents and officials". Fuguo Provincial City is the county magistrate, magistrate, and governor in one city.

It goes without saying that Guo Jingcheng is attached.

These words come from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but Du Shu is an old official, so why can't he understand.After pondering for a long time, he slapped his thigh: "Hey, that's really the truth, I understand."

Yes, just as Wang Shen said, how important is the city of Jinling in Jiankang Prefecture, it will definitely be the capital of Song Dynasty in the future.Just waiting for the Jin people to return to the north, the emperor and the court will also move back.

Based on the unspoken official rules of the Song Dynasty that regarded warriors as potential rebels, even if Wang Shen was promoted to the commanding general, he would be subject to many restrictions.Even with Du Chong taking care of him, it's the same.

Moreover, to defend the capital, Wang Shen may not win this battle in the future, and it is impossible to make contributions.Maybe, in his whole life, he has been a commander in front of the palace.In a capital city full of dignitaries and dignitaries, how can a small commander be more comfortable than leading an army alone?
Du Shu also had a clear idea of ​​his own future. If he went to be a magistrate according to Du Chong's arrangement, he would be admitted to the court as a Jinshi in the future.This path is either unfeasible or too slow, and there are too many variables in it.The Great Song Dynasty also had a tradition of party disputes, and no one knew what the future would look like.

Moreover, he is used to staying in the army, and he has also acquired the habit of a local emperor. Even if he is a magistrate, he will not be as happy as commanding an army!
After saying this sentence, Du Shu said again: "Besides, uncle is not an easy person to get along with, so I can avoid seeing him if I don't see him. There is nothing to say, Dao Si, where are you going?" , I’ll go with you wherever you go, beat the side drums for you, and be a second.”

"Okay, I'm going to Huangzhou. In the past, the Jurchen West Route Army Wanyanchang crossed the river from Zhangjia in Huangzhou and attacked Hongzhou directly. I want to lead the army to recover the lost land and wipe out the local bandits and bandits." Wang Shen said bluntly. .

The reason why he chose to leave the left-behind department to manage Huangzhou was a deliberate decision.

After making this great contribution, it is impossible for Wang Shen to be the commander of the battalion anymore. Du Chong will at least give him the establishment of an army, and the army will expand soon.As Du Shu said, Du Chong is not an easy person to get along with.This person is narrow-minded, turning his face faster than turning a book, no matter what your position in the army is, kill him if you say so.How can a man, man, put his life and future in the hands of others?It is definitely necessary to leave. The only worry is that if the army expands and there are more people, how will they support them.

The southeast region is definitely not acceptable, that is the core ruling area of ​​the Zhao family, and you, a small person, are nothing on the entire Jianghuai chessboard.

As for Jiangxi and Hunan, it doesn't work either.During this period, these two places had not been fully developed, and most of them were hilly lands, with a small population and poor population, which could not support too many troops at all.The most terrible thing is that the rogues who were sent to the north to evacuate have already fled to this area, attacking the state and plundering the county, causing great chaos.Coupled with the Jin army who entered the Wanyan field, now that it has passed, it has fallen into the big battlefield.After the current Sizhou Army has experienced a bloody battle, the troops are seriously war-weary and need a period of time to recuperate.

That place in Huangzhou is located on the edge of the Lianghu Basin, and the Lianghu Jianghan is a famous land of fish and rice.As long as Jingzhou is taken, let alone thousands of Sizhou troops, even if there are a hundred times more, there will be no problem.In real history, Yue Fei relied on the supplies and population of the Jianghan Plain to launch an unprecedented Northern Expedition against the puppet Qi and the Central Plains. ,
Such a rich place makes people drool!
Moreover, Huangzhou has the Dabie Mountains in the north as a barrier to prevent Jurchen and Puppet Qi from attacking from Bianliang and Huaixi, and the Yangtze River in the south can isolate Huguang bandits from invading, occupying the best geographical advantage.

The most wonderful thing is that the place has just been ransacked by Wan Yanchang's army once, and the people, officials and local garrison fled one after another, and it is in a state of anarchy.The Sizhou Army's departure will immediately fill the vacuum.

Just now Du Shu said that he would play side drums for Wang Shen as the assistant, but Wang Shen couldn't bear to use him as a decoration.This Du Yuezhi has a government team on hand, and he can bring it directly, and he can save a lot of effort on the civil affairs.

"Okay, I'll go and talk to my uncle about it tomorrow." Du Shu was very drunk and said with his tongue out, "Daosi, we can't go to Huangzhou empty-handed, we have to move something. The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, isn’t there such a saying that a poor family is rich?”

Wang Shen's heart moved: "Indeed, the army's rations need to be supplemented, after all, it takes two months of money and rations before the troops can be dispatched."

"What kind of military pay and fodder, what two months' money and food, Dao Si, your vision is too small." Du Shu waved his hand: "Anyway, the troops of the left-behind division have all fled. We have to take away so many ordnance, armor sticks, and ……Uh……"

He let out a long belch, and spit out a mouthful of strong chives: "Also, we need some war horses. Didn't the Jurchen who crossed the river leave a lot of good horses on the south bank? They will be rewarded." we."

Wang Shen was overjoyed, he quickly stood up and bowed to the ground: "Thank you, Brother Yue."

I felt complacent again, as expected, there were people in the court who were easy to talk to, and I made the right move in trying to get this Du Shu into the army.

"Also... some of these soldiers have to be selected from the left-behind division, especially the old soldiers of the Western Army... We don't want veterans, old soldiers, and senior officers. We only want the main soldiers below the head of the capital. ...Hoohoo..."

Du Shu was so drunk that he tilted his head and snored loudly as he leaned back on his chair.

Wang Shen smiled and shook his head: This Du Yuezhi is not a cadre who has been tested for alcohol.

He lifted a large cloak from the clothes rack to cover Du Shu, and walked out lightly.

On the way back, he sat in the car and pondered for a long time, and then laughed heartily: I finally got what I wanted, and this trip to Jiankang was worth it.

Seeing Wang Shen smiling, An Niang next to him looked at him curiously: "Brother, why are you laughing?"

"I'm laughing at Ying Xiang, who is about to get married at a young age. I have laughed at the young lady of the Du family, who is so strong and strong, but I don't know how much Ying Xiang will hate me."

An Niang was puzzled, and said: "Brother, what you said is wrong. The so-called marrying a wife and virtue, I think the young lady of the Du family is dignified, and Ying Xiang should be very happy. As the saying goes, an ugly wife is a treasure. Besides, I think Miss Du was born pretty well!"

"That's not bad?" Wang Shen couldn't help shaking his head, wondering in his heart, Du Shu is also an old handsome guy, why didn't his genes be passed on to the next generation, should he blame the old Wang next door?

"Of course not bad, what are you talking about?" An Niang was annoyed, and said angrily: "I think Miss Du is good-looking, and she looks like a man."

The so-called masculinity means that women have big breasts and big buttocks, so they can give birth.

Wang Shen's heart moved, but his eyes fell on An Niang, and he praised in his heart: "*** scrofula!"
Seeing Wang Shen staring at her, An Niang seemed to understand something, blushed, and lowered her head.

Wang Shen's heart fluttered, he stretched his arms, and embraced her in his arms.

An Niang said angrily: "Don't hug me, I know you like the thin... girl... I, I, I... I'm fat..."

"What did you say?" Wang Shen was willing to let go of her, staring at her plump breasts, and deliberately asked, "What are you?"

An Niang: "I'm fat and ugly. Ah..." She whispered, "You, you, what are your eyes looking at?"

"What's ugly, I just like you ugly." Wang Shen went up in one breath: "Chou Chou, after Ying Xiang gets married, you should marry me too. Before you leave Jiankang after the Chinese New Year."

……

In fact, what Wang Shen was worried about did not exist.

Yue Yun is a standard straight man, he doesn't care about his marriage or the beauty and ugliness of his future wife.The reason is very simple. In the moral view of the ancients, it really doesn't matter what a regular wife looks like. The key is to be able to care for her husband and raise her children.If you care too much about your wife's appearance, you will be laughed at by the world.

Anyway, these days, as long as a man with status and status, as long as he wants, he can take a concubine at any time. ,

Marry a wife and a virtuous person, take concubines and accommodate them.

Another month passed, and the imperial court's reward finally came down.

He moved Wang Shen to be a martial arts doctor, the defense envoy of Huangzhou, the governor of Guangzhou, and also knew Shaozhou.

Among them, the martial arts doctor is a fifteenth-rank martial art, and is a seventh-rank, which seems to be nothing special.However, the ranks of the military officers in the Song Dynasty were all low. I don't want the second and third rank military officers to fly all over the sky during the Ming and Qing wars.Genuine seventh grade, already considered pretty good.The governor of Guangzhou is a false title.Knowing Shaozhou at the same time means concurrently serving as the magistrate of Shaozhou. Shaozhou is the later Shaoguan City, Guangdong, which is also a false title.

The official positions in the Song Dynasty were very complicated, with real posts, titles, and salary.There are grades and military positions.It has only been a few months for Wang Shen to travel to the Song Dynasty, how can he figure this out.

Du Shu explained for a long time, but he was still confused.

However, he has figured out the position of Huangzhou Defense Envoy. The Song Dynasty Observation Envoy and Defense Envoy are not all false titles.There are two types of observers and defense envoys, Yaojun and Zhengren. "Anyone who has not fallen into the rank of officials is Yaojun, and those who do not fall into the rank of officials are the Zhengren." Yaojun refers to those who have not gone to the prefecture to take up the post. It is necessary to lead the army to guard it.

Not only Wang Shen, but also all the generals in the army were rewarded. Du Shu also got a series of titles. He actually served as the general judge of Huangzhou. and monitoring responsibilities.

As for Yue Yun, as the son-in-law of the Du family, he would naturally not be treated badly by Du Chong.Moved from the seventh rank Wu Yilang, the 41st rank of military rank.

In this way, Wang Shen finally became a senior military general who led the army alone and governed a place, and got what he wanted.

So Wang Shen prepared a generous gift to thank Duchong.

Du Chong defended Jiankang and was rewarded by Zhao Gou. He was proud of the spring breeze, and when he met Wang Shen, he shouted "Dao Si" affectionately.

Wang Shen also changed his name and called him "Enxiang."

Dealing with a villain like Du Chong is a pleasure. Recently, after the Jurchen West Route Army crossed the Yangtze River from Huangzhou, they went straight to Hongzhou, intending to capture the Queen Mother Yulong, which put Huguang under tremendous pressure.Du Chong is also responsible for the defense of that place. Now that the corruption has become like that, the imperial court has the intention of admonishing him.Especially jealous of Du Chong's meritorious service in Jiankang, Jane's civil servants in the emperor's heart are even more envious and jealous, and want to make a fuss about this point.

If Du Chong could fulfill their wishes, he would send troops there to make a gesture, at least to take back a few cities. Since Wang Shen wanted to go there to be happy as the Tu Emperor, let him go.Du Chong is an old man, so he naturally knows that military leaders like Wang Shen don't like restraint.If you form your own army, you can make a fortune, so it's allowed.

He was also generous, and directly allocated 5000 sets of armor and more than [-] weapons that were idle in the general to the Sizhou Army, and upgraded the establishment of the Sizhou Army from one battalion to one army with five battalions.

In addition, he gathered more than 200 war horses, plus the 200 more usable horses left by Wanyan Ba ​​Lisu, and made up [-] horses, and distributed them to Wang Shen for use.

Especially after getting these war horses, Wang Shen was so excited that tears came down.

Seeing tears in his eyes, Du Chong thought that Wang Shen was showing his loyalty to him, and he was very satisfied with him, so he told him for a long time, and left him to eat before sending him out.

Now that the future goal has been determined, and since Yue Yun has also been promoted, it is time to marry Du Shu's daughter.

On that day, the army had a holiday, and all the officers came to congratulate and drink, not only them, but even Wang Shen was completely drunk.

This was the most relaxing time for Wang Shen after he traveled to the Song Dynasty.

The future will be better, he is sure of it.
