Although he was not going to give Yuan Weiting money, Zhao Guanhou still brought more than 400 taels of silver notes. This money was not used to respect Yuan Weiting, but to order those servants under him. With his previous life experience, he naturally understood that the King of Hell was more difficult to deal with when he saw a little ghost.
Whether they were joining the army or coming to join the army to get along with each other, there were many outside the barracks in Xinnong Town. The crowds lined up in a long queue. If they were honestly pricked up, they would not know that it was the year of the monkey and horse month.
Yuan Daotai was good at building the army. His soldiers were very polite. After collecting ten taels of door bags, he heard Zhao Guanhou tell Cao Zhongkun’s name, without any delay, and immediately went through a special process. He threw the waiters outside and handed Zhao Guanhou’s letter directly in.
Yin Sheng Yin Wulou once went to school in Tongwenguan, and later studied military affairs in the Habsburg Kingdom. He made friends with the Prussian crown prince in the army. When the two met, they both called themselves Laozi and were like a terrible person. When the prince Laozi succeeded to the throne and became the king of Prussia, Yin Wulou became a popular Westernization Commissioner in the Great Jin Dynasty, responsible for handling Prussian affairs.
First, he hired dozens of Prussian teachers in the army, and then bought general machinery and practiced Prussian exercises. Yin Sheng, as a Prussian expert, also worked as an adviser in the new army and dealt with his friends' subjects.
He and Yuan Weiting are relatives, and they are very close to each other. They are also Yuan Weiting's loyal confidant. When he received the letter, he was discussing military affairs with Yuan Weiting and Xu Juren, the General Office of the Military Affairs Office of the Xinjian Army Inspection Army General Office. After receiving the letter, he put it on the table and opened the letter skin. While showing the letter, he said, "The Ten Princess is learning from Zhang Liang, and I recommend the future to our Jiao Shu."
Among these three, Yuan Weiting is the lowest in fame, and is only a child, not even a scholar, but the position is the highest. Xu Juren, who is a dignified Hanlin, can only be regarded as his assistant. It is precisely because of this that it is not advisable to use allusions to speak to Yuan Weiting too deeply. This shallow comparison is more appropriate.
Seeing this letter, Yuan Weiting laughed, "Brother Wulou, is the messenger sent to you by the Ten Princess? I heard that the one she recommended was Zhao who was Haidilaoyin and had broken fingers. It seemed that the former was in Tianjin County, and he was still challenging me in the station cage. He was the first gangster in Tianjin who was not involved in the trap and still walked out of the station cage alive. If it weren't for your face, I would have shot him. If it were the big boss, it would be fine to send a messenger to Wulou. Ten Princess and wild princess are such a big show?"
Yin Sheng was close to him, and he would never be annoyed with this kind of joke. Instead, he smiled, "Rong'an, my mission is not only for my favor, but also for the business of our new army. The old lady's eyes are blurred and embarrassing. He probably wants to hand over the seal of the governor of Zhili. I heard that this position was entrusted to the Liulang of Lianhua. The eldest brother had a friendship with him. If he had done this mission, he would save a lot of effort on the future on the grain table. You are still talking about my sarcastic words, but there is no such reason. I am paving the way for you. The ten princess is not a wild princess, but in front of the eldest brother, it is a perfect match. Compared to the three princess and four princesses in his family. If you please her, we can speak easily. Otherwise, she will give us a few words, and the eldest brother will be slandered with us."
At this time, the popular secret word in the officialdom of Jin Dynasty refers to the current governor of Zhili, Wang Wenzhao, and the eldest son refers to King Qing, who is in charge of affairs in various countries. Yuan Weiting's biggest aid now is King Qing, who has also given disciples to King Qing, who regards himself as a disciple, so he is called the eldest son.
As for Lotus Liulang, it refers to Han Rong, the Minister of War and the Minister of Military Affairs. The secret matter here involves the palace ban. Although there are only a few confidants in the room, it is difficult to talk much. Yuan Weiting is not as unrestrained as Yin Sheng, and just smiles, "Zhongtang is a well-planned man, and he also knows that military affairs are the top major matter in the court at present. Even if Prince Qing doesn't speak, he won't be stuck in our money and food."
Xu Juren was a Hanlin bachelor, the first in the Qing Dynasty, and believed in Huang-Lao's art. He usually didn't like to manage affairs. At this time, he coughed twice.
"This Zhao Guanhou is a gangster on the ground in Tianjin. Rong'an used to advocate severe punishment for the gangsters, but now he has sent the gangsters to the martial arts school, which seems to be inconsistent. Besides, how should he arrange him in the future? He is disabled and has a chivalrous temperament, and may be a big talk for the children of Tianjin. The frivolous and frivolous ones. If he is put in the military camp, he doesn't know what right and wrong will arise. This person's arrangement will take some brains."
The new army was treated with high salaries and was extremely strict in the election. Those who were good at committing crimes and were brave and cruel in the army were not the favorites of the army. If Li Xiushan had not had his family spent a lot of money to clear the joints and met Yuan Weiting's beloved concubine, he would not have been approved to join the army. Xu Juren's question was actually a question for Yuan Weiting and asked Yin Sheng for an explanation.
Yin Sheng was confident, "This is easy to handle. In the martial arts school, although the school system is one year to enroll and two years to go out of school, he may not have to stay for two years. He is a gangster. No matter what the Ten Princess says he is good, he is always a rascal. I am afraid he doesn't even know much. He spends some days in it, let him read some books, know some words, and learn some rules and then get out. He is a close friend in the army and doesn't care about anything, so he will go to Beijing and be responsible for running to the Qing Palace. With his friendship with the Ten Princess, just keeping money in the door can save a lot."
Yuan Weiting sighed, "What I'm afraid of is his friendship with the Ten Princess. These Ten Princess are still unmarried. If they have any trouble with him, King Qing will take his anger on us, and our lives will be sad..."
"Rong'an, you're overly worried." Yin Sheng was quite confident. "I can't control the marriage of the Ten Princess in name, and it's hard for me to arrange this relative. I feel wronged to arrange a Han man, and I'm not happy with a Jurchen. The other person is not happy, and there is no need for her to do anything about the talent show. I'm sorry for a few tricks, and I probably have to develop an old girl, so I let her do it. Who would she be willing to find? The eldest brother would also turn a blind eye to the place. As long as there is no big noise, he would ignore it. Besides, it would be impossible not to arrange it now."
He pointed to the newly arrived telegram on the table, "Two months later, Lord Lai Fu is going to the military camp to watch the Cao. Guan Cao is fake, but it is actually here to support the Lotus Liulang, telling everyone that we will listen to him in the future. Lord Lai Fu is here, and King Qing must be with him. If he doesn't do this for him, he mutters a few words in front of Lord Lai Fu, and no one can think of it. I heard the news that Lord Lai Fu wants to practice the Martial Guards and do it with us. Think about it, if we eat one pot of rice alone, and eat one pot of rice, it will be the same? If you don't flatter him, then you can put a handful of sand in our bowls, which will make us disgusted for a long time."
After hearing this, Xu Juren also knew that Yin Sheng was talking about a truth. No matter how unbearable this person was, he could only pinch his nose and accept it. After all, there were not many unbearable talents in the court, and a small army could still tolerate it.
Yuan Weiting did not want a gangster in the new army to take over, but Yin Wulou said everything, and he nodded, "Brother Wulou said very well. Since that's the case, call him in, say a few words, and send him to the martial arts school. Then say to the other side, and in a few days, he will be charged out and given a grain station in the military camp. Not only is the right King Qing, but he can also do something for us. Call him, comfort him in person, and send him to the school."
Zhao Guanhou followed the two Goshhas into the official hall, first kowtowed, and then heard someone say on it: "Since you were recommended by the Tenth Master, you don't have to be polite, sit down and talk."
A follower brought a chair. When Zhao Guanhou sat down, he only dared to sit halfway. He looked at him secretly and saw that the person who was about forty years was a short figure, a short neck, a thick neck, and a fourth-rank official uniform dressed as a fourth-rank Taoist. He had a great ears and a very powerful person. Although his expression was very friendly and there were a smile on his face, he saw more people. After seeing it, he realized that this was a difficult thing to deal with.
Although he has always been smiling, as if he is approachable and does not regard himself as an outsider, he has not seen such a smile on his face in his previous life. He is a man with extremely ambitiousness, but now he is not rich in strength, and he knows how to hide his strength and keep a low profile. If he has authority in the future, he is afraid that it will not be easy to get along with. Now he should be humble enough to show him, otherwise he will be thrown into a pair of shoes.
The upper head next to him was a middle-aged Confucian scholar in his forties and a bookish spirit, and the lower head was a tall and thin warrior in his thirties. Yuan Weiting took the initiative to point the tall and thin warrior in his thirties.
"This is Yin Hui, Lord Yin. Master Ten asked you to send a letter to him. According to the saying that the martial arts school is full and no longer recruits people, but Master Ten has to give you a face. Lord Yin is in the school and is forced to squeeze out a place for you. You must cherish this opportunity and not waste your time."
Yin Sheng nodded to Zhao Guanhou, "I will not refuse the matter of Lao Shi asking me. But I want to ask you, this army is hard, and the rules of the martial arts school are very strict, and you are not as restricted as the world of martial arts, can you be bound by it?"
"Since you must serve the court, you must strictly abide by the law. If there is any violation, the villain will be willing to accept military laws."
"I hope you will be consistent in your words and deeds. Although I recommend you, if you violate the military law, I cannot be favored."
This kind of unnutritional question and answer is actually a common model in the officialdom. To recommend a person, you always have to follow this process, ask what his expertise and skills are. Even if the person who answers is not well-informed and has the skills to plunder, he must use what he said, "Liang Ruo Bao Shu, and win the Wu Zhu, so that the recommended person can rest assured. It seems that he is really developing his skills, not relying on human feelings.
Generally speaking, this kind of question and answer will only be used among people with suitable identities. Zhao Guanhou is now in a position, but the three people in front of him are soldiers with heavy power, so there is no need to waste time with him. The Martial Arts School recruits hundreds of students in one subject, and there are not many who are qualified to say such nonsense.
After all, the Ten Princess is worth a lot of face. This kind of questioning raises Zhao Guanhou's value and gives Ten Princess face. The three of them are also ready. When the gangsters arrive here, they are either scared and unable to speak or just talk nonsense. Even if they lose their manners, they are reasonable and will not blame them.
However, the development of the facts was beyond their expectations. Zhao Guanhou performed very well and answered appropriately. For a newcomer, his performance was excellent.
Although Zhao Guanhou didn't know much about the routines in the Dajin officialdom, he had experience in his previous life and could handle such questions freely. He had thought about showing his expertise in proficiency in various languages here, but he finally gave up.
The military camp emphasizes commonality rather than individuality. The current overall atmosphere of the Jin Dynasty also advocates the doctrine of the mean, opposing those who are independent and proclaim themselves. If the talents in this area are discovered by an adult after joining the army, they can certainly be called Qianlijiao, and those who discover it can also be named Bole, and everyone is happy.
But if you are too anxious to show it, these big guys will think that they are arrogant and arrogant, and will be self-righteous if you know a little foreign language. Instead, they will mess up the matter and even eliminate the path to promotion.
In fact, he was not interested in being an official, but since Su Hanzhi liked it and had family considerations, he would just follow her wishes. This era is a world where people eat people, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, just like most countries he experienced in his previous life.
If you want to avoid being eaten, you must work hard to make your body bigger and no one can eat it. In order not to let the last life repeat itself, you have to find a way to protect yourself and go further.
It is too dangerous to be a soldier on the road of war. No matter how good your personal skills are, a stray bullet will be killed on the battlefield. Study for a while in that damn school, then find a way to become an official, and then you can find a way to continue to promote. No matter how good your foreign language skills are, you can only be a general translator. It is not easy to promote it anyway, but in fact you can't get real power.
Moreover, he is very good at foreign language. On the one hand, he is jealous of people for nothing, but on the other hand, he may put some burden on himself. The Jin Dynasty is now learning from foreigners, doing foreign affairs, and sending ministers to various countries. If he is allowed to serve as a entourage to any minister, he will not be able to see his own woman after leaving for a few years. Such a life is not what he wants.
Under his deliberate performance, the answer was considered average, neither excellent nor embarrassing. According to his opinion, in this popular model, the other party should not pay attention to him. With the ten princesses, it would be more convenient to promote him in the future. But I didn't know that after he took the initiative and led by Yin Sheng to leave, Yuan Weiting glanced at Xu Juren, "Brother Bu Wu, what do you think of this person?"
The two of them are Jinlan brothers who have changed their posts and can talk about everything. Otherwise, how could Xu Juren betrayed the only one who is the Hanlin master? He thought seriously
"If he was really a rude man, it would be fine. We just arranged a job for free, and we couldn't afford it. But seeing that he was dealing with it so well when he asked right, it was not like a gangster. Rong'an, would he be the eyeliner of King Qing'an beside us?"
Yuan Weiting said silently and said after a long time, "I don't think so. It's just a matter of one sentence to take off my top. There is no need to be such a trouble. I am only worried that he is just borrowing the tenth princess' path, and there is another expert behind him. If this person is used heavily, he will know us well, but he is afraid of something wrong. If he uses lightly, he will not look good on the face of the boss. In fact, taking my seal is just a matter of the next clear edict, so why use this method?"
"Rong'an, it's useless to say that these are useless. Since Duke Wen Zheng, the court has been the most guarded by our Han people. The newly built army is the essence of the entire army of the Jin Dynasty, so it is not surprising that this person is remembered that when he comes out of the Martial Arts School, he must be useful and be careful. It is best to put it under our eyes and hang him up high, neither offending King Qing nor let him really touch our background. If you find an opportunity, you might as well win him on our side and make it for my use, which will save us a lot of our strength."
When Xu Juren said this, he suddenly had an idea, "Rong'an, I have a problem here. The former court issued an edict to select a group of people from this subject to study in Fusang and study military affairs. If this quota is given to Zhao, it will not only save King Qing's face, but also save this person from being obsessed with him. As for whether he can learn anything..., the court is just spending more money and food."
Yuan Weiting nodded, "Brother Bu Wu, this idea is indeed a clever one. We are just giving away the plague god, that's it!"
Zhao Guanhou didn't know that he was sent to Fusang for further study by Yuan Weiting. He followed Yin Sheng from the military camp and went to the martial arts school. There was no train to enter the city. Yin Sheng asked him if he could ride a horse. After receiving a positive answer, he led two horses out. These two mounts were pure-blooded Arabian horses bred in Europe, with a shoulder height of more than 1.6 meters, which was completely different from the Mongolian horses commonly used in Jin soldiers. The two flew on their mounts, raised their whip and whipped them lightly. The horse gradually accelerated and gradually moved faster and faster.
Although Zhao Guanhou's body is just a gangster, he has helped people play circuses with Peking University and knows some basic horseback skills. In his previous life, he was an excellent rider who was very famous in several equestrian clubs. At the beginning, he had to adapt a little. After getting used to it, his skills were used and his speed gradually became faster.
Although Yin Sheng was a Jurchen, he grew up in Beijing and his bow and horses had long been abandoned, and his horse skills were only ordinary. He thought he was better than this gangster, but gradually realized that the other party was deliberately behind him and had some doubts in his heart. However, he still enthusiastically introduced the rules of the martial arts school, the taboos in it, and his relationship. However, he also had a hint of doubt about Zhao Guanhou's identity in his heart.
