Bright Spring

The Liaodong capital is still in charge of Daning City.In order to prepare for this campaign, Wang Bin's army dispatched guards from various guards, and there were also two gathering places, Daning City and Shenyang Zhongwei.

In Daning City, Sun Yonger had been waiting for several months in his small and dilapidated residence, and finally got the news.

Today's situation is a bit strange, the superior didn't send an errand runner to inform him, but Zhou Yuanzhong came in person.Zhou Yuanzhong was the Chief Banner Officer of Jinyiwei, and he had the highest position among the Jinyiwei sergeants stationed in Daning City.

Sun Yonger was flustered for a while, and hurriedly moved the chair to the north, asking Zhou Zongqi to sit on it.

Zhou Zongqi shook the chair, cursed a few words, turned around and sat on Sun Yonger's messy bed.

"Master Zongqi, wait a moment, I'm going to boil water and make tea." Sun Yong said.

Zongqi Zhou frowned and said, "Don't mess around, sit down."

Sun Yong clasped his fists and said, "The villain has orders."

Zongqi Zhou took something out of his pocket, and said, "You are lucky, you just happened to be short of people in Jinyiwei, and the superiors thought you were capable."

Sun Yong hurriedly smiled flatteringly and said, "If Master Zongqi didn't ask for credit for the villain, who would know?"

Zhou Zongqi pointed to a letter of appointment and said, "Look at this thing, and put it here after reading it."

"Chief Xiaoqi, Fusi, North Town of Jinyiwei?" Sun Yong'er could barely read some characters, and after struggling to read for a while, he read and guessed before he figured it out, "Your size is an official."

Zongqi Zhou said, "You work under my command, don't reveal your identity as Jin Yiwei."

He took out another letter of appointment, "The job you want to do is here, a general banner of the Shenyang Zuowei. This time we will follow the army to fight the Horqin people. You have to keep an eye on the generals leading the troops in the camp. There is something wrong." Just send a secret report to me. Be smart, don’t be found out that you are a member of Jinyiwei, otherwise everyone will be on guard against you, and nothing will be seen.”

Sun Yong said, "The villain understands."

Zhou Zongqi said, "This Zongqi family is dead, and no one has taken over. Your history has also been compiled for you. You were originally a military household in the capital of Liaodong. You were sent to the front of the army to charge and kill. Because of your bravery in battle, you captured the head of the enemy general and were elected to the Beijing camp. Now the Ministry of War fills in the vacancies in the guards, and your name is written on the list of Shenyang Zuowei. Remember? "

Sun Yonger nodded his head, "It's just that he made meritorious service when he beat the Tatars, so don't remember anything else."

Zongqi Zhou took out some more silver coins and counted them on the bed, "Two for settlement allowance. According to the rules of our Ming Dynasty, new officials have one settling allowance when they take office. Just go on an expedition, no matter the general or sergeant, there will be a settling allowance issued by the Ministry of War. Take it."

Sun Yong cupped his fists and said, "Master Xie Zongqi."

"Count." Zhou Zongqi said.

Sun Yonger smiled and said, "I have to rely on Mr. Zongqi today, can't I trust you?"

Zhou Zongqi nodded and said, "Greedy for money, someone can do it, I feel hot."

After he finished speaking, he patted Sun Yonger on the shoulder and stood up.

Sun Yong hurriedly asked, "What happened to the generals in the army?"

Zongqi Zhou turned his head and said, "It's best not to have any accidents. If you encounter military generals plotting mutiny, disobeying military orders, collaborating with the enemy and defecting, you can act according to the circumstances. If you are sure, you can kill first and then play, or secretly report to the peak. Do it first, and then slowly You'll understand."

Sun Yonger asked again, "I am holding an official position in the guard and leading troops into battle. What if I die?"

Zongqi Zhou looked back at the room, and then sized him up again, "You're a bachelor, your death is for nothing."

He went on to say, "The imperial court now provides a generous pension, but it is for the family members. There is roughly a sum of money and a house. The widow arranges for weaving and needlework. The children are raised by the court until they are 16 years old. Boys go to the Armed Forces Academy to study and practice martial arts. Girls My son went to Xianshutang to learn literacy and etiquette. They are all good places, a hundred times better than the illiterate children who grew up, and they don’t have to worry about food.”

Sun Yonger pondered and said, "I only know that Wu Desheng pays the soldiers, but I don't know there is such a good thing."

Chief Zhou Qi said, "Your Majesty led troops out to fight, and treated them well. Besides, our Majesty has plenty of money. I heard that a lot of silver and brass were robbed in Japan. The minting workshop in the capital is non-stop day and night. The merchants are also very strict, and they can find out the eighteen generations of the ancestors."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the bamboo hat, put it on his head, and walked out the door.Sun Yonger cupped his fists and bowed at the door, and he stood up straight when Zhou Zongqi walked to the entrance of the alley.

When Sun Yonger returned to the dilapidated house, he danced on the ground for a while, then counted the silver coins on the bed three times, his face was dying of laughter.He still muttered to himself, "Finally, the ancestors are in charge, and if we don't bless the incense, we will cut it off."

Chapter 977 What is the name

After the "Battle of Jingnan", Daning City was temporarily managed by Liaodong Dusi. Later, many merchants came, and the market has gradually recovered over the years.But it is still not as good as in the past, when Daning City had the Prince's Mansion and a large number of officials.

Early in the morning, the place with the most people is Caishikou on Qianjie Street.The surrounding area is full of small business shops, and there are many peddlers. It is a mess, but it is also lively.The weather is still cold in spring, especially in the early morning. Many people wear thick clothes and look a little bloated.

Sun Yonger passed by here and stopped to watch for a while.He was going to the yamen of the Liaodong capital in Daning to do some errands.Basically, he received the things he was appointed to, and registered his name for the record, so that he could go with the people traveling eastward to Liaoyang.

The Wangji "Guozi" shop across the street was doing a good job, and many people were waiting there. The scent of sesame oil and soy milk wafted in from the cold wind, which made Sun Yong'er smell very familiar.The fried dumplings here may not be better than the one in the vegetable market, but the business is good.

Most of the people are here to see the daughter-in-law of the Wang family.The woman's maiden name was Li, and she was really good-looking. She was born fair and clean, with a slender waist and long legs. In addition, Wang Li's man died of tuberculosis and became a widow. Men love to come and see her.If her in-laws are away, some people can still say a few nasty words.

Sun Yonger is also one of them.But he is quite honest and behaved, he often comes to buy dumplings, just take the opportunity to look at them, and rarely say anything.

Wang Lishi should have known long ago that Sun Yonger is rare for her, and his eyes are different after a long time.Sometimes Sun Yonger left Daning City on business, and when he came back, Mrs. Wang and Li would ask him why he hadn’t come to buy zizi for a while; at that time, Sun Yonger could be beautiful for several days.But it was useless, there were more than one or two men like Sun Yonger who fell in love with other people's beauty, and Wang Lishi obviously looked down on him.

"Haha..." There was a burst of laughter from the door of the Guozipu on the opposite side, and it was estimated that someone was making fun of it again.

Sun Yonger was not surprised, turned around and left Caishikou.

He went to the yamen for a while, and when he finished his work and returned to Caishikou, the sun was already high.The front of Wang’s Guozi shop is quite deserted. After all, most people buy Guozi soy milk for breakfast.

Sun Yonger strode outside the door, and the two men in front of the shop immediately backed away in awe.The old couple of the Wang family also looked at him curiously.

Previously, the yamen issued two sets of clothes, but at this time Sun Yonger had changed into the new military uniform set by the Wu De Dynasty.Brand new white lining, army gray military uniform, with a large brim hat, a finely crafted bronze goose feather sheath hanging on the belt, and a dark blue woolen cloak.The right way is that people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles. Sun Yonger seemed to have changed his body, and his whole body was very powerful and neat. What's more, his skin was not only good-looking, but also meant something else.

At this time, Wang Lishi also came over, and behind her was a little girl who was a few years old.Wang Lishi was also attracted by Sun Yonger's attention, after a few glances, she suddenly said: "You..."

She didn't know Sun Yong'er's name, but she often saw him come to buy dumplings.

The old woman turned her head and said, "Do you know this military man?"

"I often come to our house to buy glutinous rice balls." Wang Li whispered, "Why are you like this?"

Sun Yong said: "I used to fight with our sage and made meritorious service, but now I come down to reward for meritorious deeds. It's very slow."

Wang Li's face turned red, and said: "Sit inside."

The old woman also politely greeted him into the shop.

Wang Li came up to wipe a stool with a handkerchief, and asked, "Do you have an official military registration?"

Sun Yonger said calmly: "The Liaodong capital is the military status of Shenyang Zuowei, the general banner."

"As an official, how high is it?" The old man couldn't help but ask.

Sun Yonger turned his head and said: "Zheng Qipin."

The old man hurriedly congratulated, and Wang Li and others also followed suit.

Sun Yonger directly said: "Ordinary military households are stationed and go to war to have military pay, but high-ranking military officers have official salary every month, eating royal rations is very stable, and it is not a problem to support the family. If I die in battle, there will be pensions for my family. not bad."

The old woman said, "Why do you say that unlucky thing?"

Sun Yong said: "In a few days, I will go to Liaodong to take up the post, and then I will follow Duke Dingguo in the Northern Expedition and fight against the Mongols. On the battlefield, swords and guns don't have eyes, who knows what will happen?"
