Chapter 1443 Special Commendation from Emperor Jiajing
Zhu Pingan led the Marquis of Linhuai and Wei Guogong into the camp and expressed his gratitude to them for their visit and material support.
Of course, Zhu Pingan was still very surprised by their arrival.
"Haha, my dear nephew, there is no need to thank us. We should thank you." Linhuai Marquis said with a smile.
"Huh?" Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but be startled.
"Thanks to Zihou for the mutiny in Zhenwu Camp last time, we escaped this disaster," Wei Guogong explained, "So we are here today to thank Zihou."
"The result of the processing has been decided, and the official document is only available in the past two days. I will tell you the details later." Marquis Linhuai added.
It turned out to be the last mutiny in Zhenwuying. After the results of the above handling came down, Zhu Pingan suddenly realized it.
Zhu Ping'an led the two men to the commander's tent. Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis observed casually as they walked.
Clean, tidy and orderly, this is their first impression of the Zhejiang Army military camp.
The soldiers have strong discipline and do not walk around randomly in the camp or gather in groups to play. They are all practicing seriously.
However, when they saw the items that the soldiers were practicing, the Duke of Wei and the Marquis of Linhuai couldn't help being dumbfounded.
Standing at attention, taking a rest, walking in unison, turning left and right, these modern military training methods looked like monkey tricks in the eyes of Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis, especially turning left and right, it was like It was like seeing a monkey show.
"Xiang Nephew, this method of military training is really unheard of. Do you want us to send some military and horse instructors over." Wei Guogong did not say it very straightforwardly, but his meaning was made very clear.
What are you training for? You don’t know how to train soldiers, do you? Let’s send some military trainers over to help you train soldiers
"Thank you uncle, I won't use it for the time being." Zhu Pingan thanked him and declined Wei Guogong's kindness.
"My dear nephew, we have been in the army for most of our lives, and we have never seen your method of training troops. The training includes infantry warfare, horse warfare, water warfare, infantry shooting, and mounted shooting. Whips, knives, guns, cannons and rattan martial arts, as well as There are firecrackers and artillery shooting skills, but what's the point of your training of standing at attention and walking in step?"
Seeing that Zhu Ping'an declined Wei Guogong's kindness, the Marquis of Linhuai couldn't help but speak again. Remind Zhu Pingan.
“Back to my uncle, this is queue training, one of the training projects of the Zhejiang Army. It is to train the soldiers’ obedience and discipline, that is, to obey orders and prohibitions, so that they can engrave in their bones that ‘it is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders’ "
Zhu Ping'an explained.
After hearing Zhu Pingan say that queue training was just one of the training items, Linhuai Marquis felt a little relieved.
It’s just one of the training items, Zihou can tinker with it if he wants. As for Zhu Ping'an's claim that the obedience and discipline of soldiers could be trained through this kind of monkey-like formation training, the Marquis of Linhuai and Wei Guogong disagreed.
The handsome tent is located in the center of the military camp. Zhu Pingan led the two people into the handsome tent and poured them two cups of tea.
The two of them looked at Zhu Pingan's handsome tent with tea cups. It was simple, really simple, with only a bed, a cabinet, a table and two rows of chairs.
"My dear nephew, you have wronged yourself too much. I will send you a set of furnishings another day." Linhuai Marquis said with emotion.
"Thank you for your uncle's kindness, Pingan. The furnishings are enough." Zhu Pingan declined the Marquis of Linhuai's kindness.
The Marquis of Linhuai mentioned it again, but when Zhu Pingan insisted, he had no choice but to give it up.
After a few pleasantries, Wei Guogong and Linhuai Marquis got down to business and told Zhu Pingan the results of the Zhenwu Camp mutiny.
"My dear nephew, you don't know how serious this time is. Official Huang Mao, the right servant of the governor of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was killed in the rebellion. They were held accountable afterwards and were excommunicated by the Holy Emperor. Official position!" Wei Guogong sighed.
Generally speaking, the deceased is considered the most important. Although the deceased made mistakes during his lifetime, many people do not pursue them after death.
This time was different. Official Huang Mao died and was dismissed from his official position. Of course, this is his own fault.
"Master Ma Kunma, who was originally supposed to be the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, spent so much effort, relied on so many connections, and went through so many channels to finally get transferred to the capital to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. This ass is not there yet. It's hot. As a result, because he reduced the silver price to 0.4 taels when he was the Minister of the Ministry of Finance in Yingtian, he was now held responsible for inciting the Nanjing Zhenwu Camp rebellion and was dismissed from his official position." Wei Guogong was filled with emotion! .
"And Mr. Cai Keqin is pitiful. He was transferred to Yingtian Hubu Shangshu this year. He fell ill just after he took office. He can't take care of Yingtianhu Ministry affairs. He has been recuperating at home. A few days ago I heard that Mr. Cai had recovered from his illness and was about to take office, but he was impeached and lost his official position because of the mutiny in Zhenwu Camp. "
Linhuai Marquis couldn't help but sigh.
Well, it’s true that people are sitting at home, and the pot comes from the sky, but who told you to be the Minister of the Ministry of Finance of Yingtian now.
"My good nephew, I can't help but break into a cold sweat every time I think about it. If it weren't for my good nephew, even if we were lucky enough to survive the mutiny, I, Lao Li, and Eunuch He would definitely be severely punished afterwards. According to this accountability The severity of the crime, including dismissal and loss of official position, are all minor. Imprisonment is inevitable, and he may be beheaded. "
Until now, Wei Guogong is still afraid.
"My uncle said something serious." Zhu Ping'an said modestly, and then asked, "I wonder how uncles are doing?"
"Thanks to my nephew, the Holy Father just gave me a verbal warning, and Xu I have done meritorious service, and my official position remains unchanged."
Wei Guogong smiled and was very happy. The two ministers of Yingtian Hubu were implicated and lost their positions, and he, the Duke of Wei, was in charge of Zhenwu Camp. As a result, a mutiny broke out in Zhenwu Camp. He was able to keep his official position, which was a good ending that he could not have dreamed of.
"Old Li is very lucky. I heard accurate news that because he helped quell the mutiny in Zhenwu Camp, his position can be moved up." Wei Guogong pointed at the Marquis of Linhuai and said with envy.
"Ahem. It's all thanks to my virtuous nephew." Marquis Linhuai looked happy and couldn't close his mouth.
"Where is your father-in-law?" Zhu Pingan asked again.
"Eunuch He was also verbally warned that his official position would not change, and he was also credited with a meritorious service in the inner court. Oh, I almost forgot, Eunuch He was unable to come today due to something unexpected, so he asked us to send him a set of body protection. Soft armor to show your gratitude."
Wei Guogong said, taking an exquisite wooden box from his entourage, opening it and placing it in front of Zhu Pingan.
Inside the wooden box is a set of exquisite protective soft armor, which is worth a lot at first glance.
"Eunuch He said that this set of soft armor is invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire. I think he is right." Wei Guozheng said.
"My dear nephew, this is what Eunuch He is thanking you for. Don't refuse, just accept it. Otherwise, Eunuch He will think you dislike it." Marquis Linhuai said with a smile.
"In that case, I will be disrespectful." Zhu Pingan accepted this set of protective soft armor.
"Oh, by the way, my wise nephew also made contributions in this mutiny, and the Holy One specially commended you." Marquis Linhuai added.
Special commendation? !
When Zhu Pingan got this, he suddenly became excited. This was a special award from Emperor Jiajing.
"What special award?" Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but ask, promotion, or getting rich?
"The emperor gave me a fragrant leaf crown." Linhuai Marquis and Wei Guogong said with envy, "This is made by the holy hand. The wise nephew is really in the heart of the emperor." Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an turned to stone. On the spot, I fell from the cloud into the muddy pond, with a face full of tears
Fragrant Leaf Crown! ! ! What a special award this is! Also, is Emperor Jiajing forgetful? When he first became Cabinet Secretary Zhilang, Emperor Jiajing rewarded him with a fragrant leaf crown, and Hua'er laughed at him for being a cuckold.
