At the gate of Mizhi County, Shaanxi, a few idle men sat at the gate of the city, basking in the sun and bragging. In the past, they boasted nothing more than how rich Ai Juren's family was, and they saw Ai Juren attending the banquet of the county magistrate. But now, the protagonist they boasted was replaced by another big figure in Mizhi County.

"This Huang Lai'er is really amazing. I heard from the merchants who passed by said that he was summoned by the Emperor in the capital and rewarded the high-ranking official. Unexpectedly, a poor postman from that time would be today." A idle man said enviously. Huang Lai'er was Li Zicheng's life. When Li Zicheng was born, his father dreamed that a man in yellow entered the earthen kiln, so he gave this name.

"And Li Guo, who was playing with me with bare butt back then, now if I see him again, I'm afraid he'll kneel on the ground and kowtow to him, and call him General." Another idle man echoed. Not long ago, a group of merchants from the capital told him about watching the grand occasion of the Wumen Gate offering prisoners in the capital. Li Zicheng and Li Guo, who are now emerging in the army, have also reached the ears of the Mizhi people.

"Hey, we still have no fate. Not to mention anything else. If Huang Lai'er was cleaned up by Juren Ai, we would like to inform him. Now he would read our good things. As long as we leak a little through the crack of our fingers, it would be enough for us to eat for the rest of our lives." Thinking about others, looking at themselves, these people can only use their fate to comfort themselves.

"Hmm? Someone is here." At this moment, a sound of horse hooves came from his ears. There was more than one horse. These people immediately looked in the direction of the sound. What's the important thing? If you see some tricks, you will have a foundation for bragging tonight. Maybe you can have a glass of wine or two to drink.

But seeing a group of about a hundred soldiers in front of him guarding more than a dozen officers slowly approaching the Mizhi City Gate, the soldiers were all brightly armored and energetic, and they were many times stronger than those miscellaneous soldiers in the county town.

"Is this the military man? He is so majestic?" Several idle men watched the team gradually approaching, but unfortunately they were illiterate, otherwise they might have been able to see the identity of the Li-shaped flag in the team.

"Uncle, my nephew left home with you, but I didn't expect to come back so gloriously." Li Guo looked at the familiar Mizhicheng and said to Li Zicheng.

"Why am I not? It's a pity that I can only stay at home for a few days this time, and I guess there is no time to repair the ancestral tomb." After returning to Beijing, Li Zicheng and Li Guo verified their achievements to be promoted several levels in succession. Now they are arranged to Ningxia Town and Guyuan Town to train local troops. Among them, Li Zicheng is responsible for the training of soldiers in Ningxia Town, while Li Guo was assigned to Cao Bianjiao's subordinates and will follow him to Guyuan Town.

Fortunately, Li You knew that this trip would not be possible without a year or two, so he gave these generals some time so that they could go home and take a look. So Li Zicheng and Li Guo had the opportunity to return home in glory this time. It would be great if he was responsible for the training of the soldiers in Yansui Town this time, so that he could go home and see it from time to time. Yansui Town is not far from here, and it would not take long to go to Mizhi.

But it was precisely because of this issue that Li You did not arrange Li Zicheng here. Replacing an officer would become the iron rule of the Ming army in the future, so Li Zicheng's wish was so dashed.

The ragged defenders on the city side immediately went to report to the county magistrate when they saw this scene. So when Li Zicheng and Li came to the city gate, the county magistrate had already brought the officials of the county government to wait here. The county magistrate quickly recognized the rank and position from Li Zicheng's official uniform and quickly saluted, "Sun Shengwu, the magistrate of Mizhi County, paid a visit to the general."

In the past, civil officials in the Ming Dynasty did not have so much rituals when they met military generals. However, since the new emperor ascended the throne, the status of military generals has been greatly improved, so he has this ritual.

Li Zicheng did not despise the county magistrate because of his identity, but instead dismounted and greeted them. "I will return home this time for a private matter, not a official business, and I dare not delay my parents' official position. Zhu Wei would rather invite him back." Shaanxi was one of the provinces Li You took the lead in governing, and he had extremely strict requirements on local officials, so the county magistrate quickly understood what Li Zicheng meant and took his men back. As for what arrangements would be below, it is unknown.

Li Zicheng returned to his hometown, Lijia Station, which once again caused a sensation in the whole village. They did not expect that Li Zicheng had become such a high-ranking official in just a few years since he fled to leave Mizhi County. So the guys who had been in contact with each other came to visit him, trying to get some benefits from Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng remembered the teachings of the military judges and did not dare to use his power for personal gain. However, he had been exploring outside for a long time, and his vision was no longer comparable to those of these villagers. Li Zicheng told them about the policy of Liaodong and Liuqiu pioneering the way to recruit refugees. He also gave him some advice on how to join the army to gain fame. Many people had their own plans after hearing this.

But some people still look at Li Zicheng's official position with the old eyes, thinking that it was not a problem for him to become a high-ranking official and promote Qin Juan one or two. They were determined to follow Li Zicheng and drink spicy food, so how could they suffer? So they begged to follow Li Zicheng as a personal soldier, saying words such as those who are all children of the Li family who will definitely do their best to serve Lord Li, which made Li Zicheng very upset. He simply shortened his time at home and rushed to Ningxia Town in advance.

"With their nature, when they came to the army, they also commanded the army to rely on my relatives to greed for military pay and bullied the soldiers. People like this may have a dead end when they met a military judge. Maybe I would also have to take their implication. When I heard Lu Shuai talk about recruiting soldiers, training and leading troops, I was quite puzzled. Now I think about it to eliminate such a thing." Li Zicheng said to Li Guo with emotion.

"What my uncle said is that if you meet such a person in the army, the morale of the soldiers will be hit by the eyes." Li Guo was also quite disgusted with these people. They all thought that they had gained a status by following Li Zicheng. They wanted to be the second one, but they didn't know how much suffering they suffered in training and how many risks they encountered on the battlefield. Their fame was achieved through real swords and guns, so that was so cheap.
