Chapter 758 Royal Gift of Flying Fish Clothes
Eunuch Wei was very excited. Although he did not see what the official certificates (authorization letters) and the official seals were printed, the two boxes of military generals' court uniforms and official uniforms gave him a reassurance in an instant.
Cao Wenyao, Zheng Duo, Xu Dayou and other generals who rushed over after hearing the news saw the things in the box, and their eyes were bright.
They know, what these mean.
Their hearts that have been hanging around for a long time can finally be relaxed and become very excited.
Because, according to the rewards from Eunuch Wei, they are no longer the former low-level officers such as the Qianzheng, the Baihu, and the General Banner, but have become senior generals in the Ming Dynasty's personal army.
For example, although Cao Wenyao was a battalion officer sent by Wang Yongshou, the eunuch of the Wuxiang Right Guard Supervisor, who was in charge of the training and opening of the Houying Banner Army, his grade was actually very low, and he was just the general flag.
Wang Yongshou's promise to him was only transferred back in the future and promoted to a hundred households.
However, in the list of meritorious generals reported to the emperor, Eunuch Wei, Cao Wenyao, asked to be awarded the title of general and was responsible for the captain of the Royal Navy's left-behind detachment.
The general of the rank of the third rank of military positions, and compared with Cao Wenyao's previous seventh rank general flag officer, he was more than the fourth rank, not to mention that the Royal Navy was the personal army of the emperor.
Even though the Ming Dynasty's civil and nobles were inferior to the military, the military generals could not straighten their backs in front of civil officials, the third-rank general was enough to allow Cao Wenyao to straighten his chest in front of prefectures and counties.
Thinking about his elder brother Cao Wenzhao, he has great skills and great martial arts. However, he has been in Liaodong for more than ten years and is only a small family. He followed Eunuch Wei and had never even fought a battle, so he jumped into a military general. Cao Wenyao's excitement can be imagined.
Xu Dayou's breathing was also very rapid. He was from Huizhou. He had always followed Jiang Liangdong, a guerrilla in the camp, and worked as the general manager of the Wusong Water Camp. He had no future, but he was better than the Guangdong people in the camp, at least he would not have to worry about food and drink, but he thought that this would be the case in his life. But he still had such a chance in his life.
As the first Huizhou military officer to "submit" and "turn against" Eunuch Wei, Xu Dayou was undoubtedly valued by Eunuch Wei and ordered him to be in charge of the Liaison Department of the Navy and to be given the title of garrison for the fifth rank.
This time, Eunuch Wei visited Jiangbei prefectures and counties, the special zone, the navy, the local government, and the soldiers of the camps. Even Xu Dayou was responsible for his work, and he did it safely. Eunuch Wei praised him a few words.
Although the fifth-rank garrison title cannot be compared with the two chief and deputy captains of Cao Wenyao and Zheng Duo, Xu Dayou is already content. Otherwise, if he follows the steps, he will probably die if he wants to be promoted to the garrison. In addition, he is complacent about his wisdom and good vision.
Zheng Duo was most excited by the generals on the field.
This illegitimate son who killed his father in Liaodong was a bandit who had been with Jurchens, Hans, Mongols, and Japanese in Liaodong. In order to be safe and not chased by others for the rest of his life, he defected to Gao Huai's Flying Tiger Army, hoping to get a Mingtang in the Ming Dynasty from then on. Unexpectedly, Eunuch Gao collapsed overnight, causing him to turn from the "official soldiers" of the Shangguo to "bandits".
This gap is obviously unacceptable.
The time when Zhang Hu was hiding at Shuangshantai was the most tormented day in Zheng Duo's life.
It’s not because of life and death, but because of confusion and loss of goals.
He really doesn't want to live the dull and confused life he used to be.
God was sympathetic. Just when he and his companions were already desperate and were about to leave Shuangshantai and resume their "old career", Eunuch Wei appeared in front of everyone on a white horse.
From then on, he followed Eunuch Wei and was loyal because he believed that Eunuch Wei would fulfill his promise - to give him Zheng Duo and also to give him the identity of the emperor as a personal army of the bandit brothers!
After that, Zheng Duo actually had doubts about whether Eunuch Wei could fulfill his promise, but he always insisted that he had no way out.
Even when the Royal Navy was founded as the personal army of the emperor, Zheng Duo was always uneasy.
After all, until then, except for the promises and verbal rewards given by Eunuch Wei, he did not see any official rewards from the Ming Dynasty to him, nor did he see the court's official recognition of the Royal Navy as the emperor's personal army.
Now, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
These official seals, official credentials, and official uniforms are the greatest rewards and affirmations to him and all those who follow Eunuch Wei.
Compared with his fellow Flying Tiger Army members who are still in Liaodong, Zheng Duo is undoubtedly much luckier.
Although Eunuch Wei asked the Liaodong Governor Yang Hao to take care of the former subordinates of the Feihu Army, Zheng Duo believed that Lord Yang's care was far less than Eunuch Wei. It is very likely that his companions were driven as cannon fodder by Yang Hao under the leadership of Eunuch Zhang Hu.
I don’t know how many people will be seen in the future.
In this comparison, even though a man with irony was even harder than iron stone, Zheng Duo almost burst into tears.
Eunuch Wei, he really does what he says, and he is more important than Mount Tai.
………
"There are rewards of the fifth rank or above in the box, and below the fifth rank, Dugong Liu said that the chief of the case will be appointed by himself and report back to the prison."
Wang Tiqian looked at Wei Liangchen who was a little stunned with a smile, and said in a low voice, "There are still many blank vouchers in the box."
"The governor treats me well."
Eunuch Wei bowed to the north. This time, he worshipped not only Liu Jixiang, who was about to be buried, but also worshipped Wanli, the emperor who was known as "competing for profit with the people."
He knew very well that without Wanli's instructions, Liu Jixiang would definitely not have given these rewards.
That old guy is more cunning than a fox.
From this, it is almost certain that the imperial edict brought by Wang Tiqian must be good news.
"Oh, I almost forgot,"
Wang Tiqian patted his forehead, smiled, walked to a box, took out a piece of clothing wrapped in red cloth and held it in front of Eunuch Wei.
"Your Majesty, this is given to you by Your Majesty. If you can receive this reward, it shows that Your Majesty attaches great importance to you."
Wang Tiqian signaled Wei Liangchen to untie the red cloth himself.
Eunuch Wei was a little confused and didn't know what was inside.
Although he had known in advance that the emperor gave Wei Liangchen a flying fish suit, when the flying fish suit was displayed in front of him, Wang Tiqian couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Wei Liangchen was even more flattered. He never expected Wanli to give him a flying fish suit!
You should know that the python clothes, flying fish clothes and bullfighting clothes were similar to the dragon robe clothes worn by the emperor, so the country was determined not to be under the official uniform system at the beginning, but to be given to the emperor as a gift for the emperor.
There are only three types of people who can get dressed in these three types of clothing, one is the inner minister, the other is the Jinyiwei, and the third is the prime minister.
Among the three, except for the Jinyiwei, the rest of the two are all simple in the emperor's heart. Only those who have great achievements in the country can be specially given by the emperor.
In other words, for Wei Liangchen, the gift of this flying fish suit by Wanli is a great honor and a great affirmation!
Really...
It's really not wasting my money!
