"Come." King Qi and Xu Zixian finished speaking, with unstoppable fatigue on their faces, but seeing that Xu Zixian fully understood what he meant, I felt quite relieved.

In any case, this is a story of the torch. Xu Zi was the King of Qi who had been observing secretly and repeatedly confirmed that his successor was only a marquis of the country and was not a prince, but the King of Qi believed that it would not be too difficult for Xu Zi to obtain the title of king in this chaotic era.

Military merits are the top priority of the Great Wei Dynasty. It is not difficult to have great military merits in the country.

The sound of footsteps came from outside, and a moment later, two figures like fire and mountains came from the study.

"Big Ge, Little Ge." King Qi smiled and said, "It's been a long time no see."

"See the rule!"

When the King of Qi led his troops more than ten years ago, although he was a prince, he was only the commander of the first commander. He led a battalion of troops. Ge Cunzhong and Ge Cunyi were the strongest soldiers under the King of Qi.

Originally, the King of Qi wanted to recommend two people to be officials, but the Ge brothers were wild and most irresistible, and had violent personalities, especially not to see unfair things. When the King of Qi was in the army, he often protected the two brothers who violated the ban. Later, the King of Qi was highly powerful and took office as the commander-in-chief, but lost the military power of the imperial guards. The two were excluded from the military camp. They first became military sergeants, and later they killed an official in a conflict. From then on, they had to choose to become bandits.

For more than ten years, the Ge brothers and the Gushan thieves also made their name. Even the two prefectures in the capital knew that the two thieves were rampant on Fujian Road.

"This is the court's amnesty document." The King of Qi handed a letter from the Political Affairs Hall to the Ge brothers, and said with a gentle voice: "I didn't discuss this with you, so I made the decision for you. I also asked for amnesty in your name. Don't blame me for taking the decision for you..."

The letters in the hall praised the Ge brothers for their repentance. If they were ordinary people, they would be proud of their lives if they had written letters in the hall.

Even officials and courts can obtain at least seventh rank civil servants and above the fifth rank military officers. The emperor has the opportunity to obtain the Hanlin writing after using the imperial seal. Compared with the letters of the Zhengshi Hall, the edicts and titles are more symbolic honors, because the emperor's will also need to be implemented through the letters of the Zhengshi Hall. This is reasonable and legal, and all decrees are the same. If the emperor does not pass the Secretariat, the edicts cannot be made.

The hall letter is more about practical military and political affairs, and there are few words of praise. It is the second time I am willing to recruit the Ge brothers in front of me.

No matter what, the thief who had been rampant for more than ten years originally intended to surrender was a good thing for the court.

In the past ten years, Donghu has been too strong and put too much pressure on the Great Wei.

The public grievances of Gushan thieves mostly come from the unjust judges and gentry, and the court knew them well. Compared with the Qishan thieves who killed people and owed blood debts, Gushan thieves were small in scale and were famous for their misfortunes. Such a huge thief was also an achievement of the court and would not cause public opinion to rebound.

It can be said that before the King of Qi submitted his memorial, he had expected everything and knew that this matter could be completed smoothly, and there would be no uncontrollable twists and turns...

The only thing that is lacking is the consent of the Ge brothers.

"If my brothers were not Your Highness, the body would have become bones..." Ge Cunzhong said bitterly: "So even if Your Highness wants our lives? What's more, reputation? It's just that when I serve others, I have to have time and cannot be spent in my life..."

"So what if you spend your whole life?" King Qi said with a smile in his eyes: "Look at the hall letter before talking about it?"

The Ge brothers were literate, and the two of them got together to read the letters.

In addition to the commendation of the recruitment, there are specific positions.

The Ge brothers were all giant thieves, but they didn't have many subordinates. According to the custom of the Great Wei, recruiting military officers were allowed to take their old subordinates in the past two years, but their salary, food and appointments to subordinates were controlled by the court. Two or three years later, when the recruiting bandits settled down, they accepted the rules and regulations of the Great Wei, and then gradually adjusted them to weaken their original strength.

The Ge family brothers had few subordinates, which made the court difficult for him. Fortunately, King Qi gave advice. Since the Nan'an Houzi organized a delegation training in the other courtyard to protect the territory and lacked generals under his command, the Ge family brothers could lead a battalion alone and arrange and digest their subordinates. For Xu Zixian, he also had strong arms and help.

The Ge brothers were awarded the title of the sixth-rank Yunqiwei Martial Honor, and the positions were the commander of the camp and the deputy commander. The military officers of this dynasty, the Taiwei, the actual position of military officers, from the second rank, the commander of the wing capital, from the third rank, the Du Yuhou, the fourth rank, and the commander of the military capital, from the fourth rank, then the commander of the military capital, from the fourth rank, then the commander of the deputy commander of the Du Yuhou, from the fifth rank, and then the commander of the camp, from the seventh rank, the deputy commander of the battalion, and the eighth rank. The military capital is the capital, the ninth rank, the commander of the horse army, and it is also the commander of the ninth rank, and the horse army capital is also the commander of the ninth rank, and there are also the commander of the ninth rank, and some are the commander of the ninth rank, and some are the commander of the ninth rank or the military officer of the team, so they must be white-handed without official positions.

"Fortunately, the surprise was a joy." Ge Cunzhong's originally bitter face showed a smile.

Ge Cunyi said, "I said, why did Your Highness, King of Qi, cheat us? No wonder he called the prince here."

The two thieves turned around and bowed to Xu Zixian, "I have seen the prince. From then on, we brothers and brothers have had a meal with the prince. There are also thirty-four brothers under our command, and we will join us together..."

Xu Zixian was very happy. King Qi was a big gift, an absolute gift package.

Although the Ge brothers were thieves, their hearts were actually much more pure than many gentry. The two plundered wealthy families, but they often helped the poor. The Gushan thieves were much better than those of the government on Fujian Road.

In addition, he has been a thief for more than ten years and has rich experience in turning and commanding. Such talents are quite rare. General military officers of the imperial guards or wing army are far inferior to those of the Ge brothers.

Xu Zixian bowed and returned the salute and said, "You must not be polite. If you can get help from you, it will be a great addition to your wings. But I have to have a first word and the rules in the army. Please be sure to guard one of you..."

"Don't worry, Prince." Ge Cunzhong said: "Your Highness the King of Qi is afraid that our brothers will not have a good result. This hard work for us to wash our feet and go ashore can never let you down again..."

Ge Cunyi stared at Xu Zixian and said, "There are many unfair things in the world, most of which are powerful and wealthy families bullying others and not caring about the people. We heard that the prince is not that kind of person, but when we ask the prince to be high and powerful for a few years, we must always think about the present, otherwise our brothers can only ask for it, but they will not cause trouble for His Highness and the prince."

After all, the two brothers are a character. Xu Zixian also knew that it needed to slowly get in and make them truly integrate with the thieves under his command. This matter was unhurried.

Ge Cunzhong said again: "Your Highness has written letters to keep us with the prince, but the prince did not take out the letter last time. After we went back and decided, we knew that the prince was a person who knew the world affairs and knew how to advance and retreat. I hope this time I could really find a good home for my brothers."

Xu Zixian then suddenly realized that this time no wonder it was so smooth. It turned out that after the last battle back to Hekou, the Ge brothers knew that King Qi had a letter first, but he did not take it out. This made the Ge brothers have a very high evaluation of him. After all, not everyone can resist this temptation... During the Battle of Hekou, Xu Zixian had only dozens of young men, Qin Dongyang and Liu Yi under his command. His strength increased by more than twice. The weakest among the Gushan thieves was probably stronger than Xu Zixian. More than thirty people were rampant for many years, and they cooperated with tacit understanding and had enough combat power to reach the first battalion army. With these people joining the Marquis' Mansion, Xu Zixian's strength has naturally improved by leaps and bounds.

Even now, there are more than a thousand team members who lack qualified military officers. The teenagers can take advantage of them at least a few months. During this period, they will act as the lower-level team officers, the whistle commanders, and the first-level military officers are quite lacking. The teeth of the Marquis' Mansion can be used as part of them, but the gap is still very large. After all, some teeth are only suitable as guards and are not suitable to lead troops.

With Gushan thieves joining, they have rich experience in the battlefield and have become famous for a long time. The gaps between middle and lower-level military officers are filled in one go.

Of course, Xu Zixian will also use it in differentiation and gradually digest it, and will not give all the military power to the Ge brothers and his subordinates at once, otherwise there will be a risk of being undermined.

"It's good to do it." King Qi finally encouraged Xu Zixian: "The only people I can move outside are big and small glands, and I can't help you too much. There are still about 300 teeth in the royal palace. In terms of battlefield experience, they are first-class, but most of them are over forty, and you can't keep up with your physical strength and spirit. You still have to raise talents by yourself, so that you can be able to use them. Just like using your arms and fingers, I hope you will remember this experience."

Xu Zixian nodded repeatedly, the old man in front of him was really as wise as the sea.

There is no one in the Qi Palace anymore, and dozens of experienced Yajiangs sent to the Nan'an Group to practice as military officers. Can't they really pick them up? But these people have been with the Qi King for half their lives. Are they considered Xu Zixian's or the Qi King's?

Xu Zixian didn't say much, but just respectfully bowed to the King of Qi in front of him, and all his words were silent.

...

In late autumn, the cold weather in winter is coming south, and many people put on short jackets and wear them thickly, which makes people feel at ease.

In the near October season, the north is covered with ice, snow and silver, but it is still a chill on Fujian Road.

It will take a few days after the 11th month of the lunar calendar that there will be one or two snow in Fujian and Guangdong. There will be snow in Fujian in winter, which is also a very interesting thing for Xu Zixian, a traveler.

Although winter is coming at this time, the green banks of the river are still green, and at least there is no sign of the coming winter on the reeds and the water plants by the river.

The river is surging, and the waves roll downstream, heading straight towards the estuary.

The fishing boats were still wandering in the middle of the river in groups of three or three. Ospreys pierced at the bottom of the water from time to time, and then took a big fish. The fishermen snatched the fish from the bird's beak and handed it to the bird's beak. The bird swallowed and swallowed the fish, and continued to fly into the air with satisfaction to observe the situation under the water.

Large river boats still flow downstream or come from the opposite shore.

This river beach is quite smooth, and the water flow is not as fast as the upstream and downstream, so this area is called Nan'an, and the area with a relatively gentle upstream is called Shuikou.

Both places have dense rivers and ships. Whether it is from Tingzhou, Shaowu, Jianzhou, or from Zhangzhou to Hu Shang, they mostly choose to cross the river from here and follow the official road to Fuzhou.

Merchants from Jianzhou and Liangzhe also chose to go from Lianjiang to Quanzhou. Although the official roads of the Great Wei Dynasty were well built and there were more carriages in the south, in terms of transportation saving time and effort and cost savings, of course, shipping is the best.
