Chapter 332: Mount Hefei (2)(1/3)

"Cai Wu was promoted to the deputy Qianjia family and was in charge of the Warriors in the Leopard Room. It was the same as his father's official position, so the emperor raised his hand and his father was promoted to Qianjia."

Reading Zhang Hui's letter, Shen Rui burst into laughter. There was no meaning of sour grapes between the lines.

This is not because Zhang Hui thought of this position himself. Since Zhang Hui took over the trouble of Jingwei Martial Arts, Xiyuan Qinwei naturally lost his position. Moreover, in comparison, Zhang Hui wanted to make contributions on the battlefield, but Jingwei Martial Arts was more suitable for his long-term planning.

But who doesn’t want the position of being close to the emperor to be left to "his own people"? Zhang Hui really wants to find this position for his fourth brother-in-law Zhao Hongpei.

"My uncle is guarding Nanjing, and Brother Zhao is already in the forefront of the government army." Shen Rui had already said this to Zhang Hui at that time.

Although he was tactful, he understood the meaning very well - the emperor could not give all the benefits to the Zhao family.

Zhang Hui knew it well, but at this time the dust settled, and there was no regret.

Although it is a pity, but when it comes to true, this candidate is not a problem for everyone.

Cai Wu in this letter is about Cai Liang, the eldest grandson of the eldest princess Chun'an.

Because the princess was virtuous and had good parents, the descendants of the Cai family were ranked according to the clan. Therefore, Cai Liang was the eldest in the family and the fifth in the clan. He was called Wulang at home and outside the family.

The eldest princess Chun'an is undoubtedly the first person in the royal family. The son-in-law Cai Zhen is now in charge of the clan mansion, and the Cai family and the Tian family are closest.

Moreover, in recent years, the eldest princess Chun'an has had several conflicts with the Queen Mother and her mother's Zhang family, which fully demonstrates that the eldest princess Chun'an is loyal to the emperor's side.

In the royal family, with such seniority, who are capable and dare to speak, the emperor will be much more relaxed in many things, and of course he will also repay his kindness.

It is not surprising that Cai Liang can get this position.

Moreover, no matter what, no matter how loyal and reliable it is, it is indeed unparalleled.

The three sons of the eldest princess Chun'an were originally granted the title of the deputy thousand households, and even the concubines had the title of the 100 households. Cai Liang's father Cai Yu was originally the eldest son of the eldest princess, and at this time, it was nothing to be promoted to the thousand households because of his son.

"Cai Liang is also considered our own people." Shen Ruiru replied.

Indeed, during the confrontation in Kunning Palace on the Holy Day of Wanshou last year, the eldest princess Chun'an confronted the Zhang family and joined forces with the Empress Dowager to move Mrs. Jin out of the palace in one fell swoop, the emperor deliberately praised the Cai family brothers. Cai Liang and his younger brother Cai Song followed him out of the palace many times. Not only did they have a close relationship with Zhang Hui, but they also had a good relationship with Shen Rui.

Cai Miao, the Cai Liang brother's legitimate sister, is a close friend of Zhao Tong and Yang Tian.

After Yang Tian was injured, the eldest princess's mansion was inquiring about his well-being and recommending doctors to deliver medicine, which also expressed his full intimacy.

Cai Liang got such a position this time, and it was a very good result with Shen Rui and Zhang Hui.

"Since you are your own people, just serve as a helper. You can talk to Cai Liang, mention our ideas about martial arts, and tell him that if the Leopard Warrior is just a 'Han General', there is no need to choose these people alone. Cai Liang will be interested, and will also be grateful for your help, and become closer to us." Shen Rui was quite nervous before leaving for Songjiang, and he didn't have time to chat with Zhang Hui.

Since he couldn't read books on the way these days, he carefully thought about these things, wrote down his ideas one by one, and sent them back to Zhang Hui.

"These people want to become real guards of the emperor. If they choose one in a hundred or even one in a thousand, they should learn the things in martial arts, and should be promoted to the leader of a team at any time, and they can fight for the country on the battlefield and be loyal to the emperor at any time."

Since they are close people selected by the emperor himself, they will definitely have to hold military power to a certain extent in the future. They must be trained according to the standards of military officers, rather than just being a good-looking "Han general" and cannot only know how to protect the kung fu in person.

As the Ming Dynasty has reached its present, the military system has actually begun to become corrupt. Just look at the defeats in Shaanxi and you will know how powerful it is now.

In order to make the Ming Dynasty strong, it is also necessary to improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

Although combat effectiveness is not cultivated in one day and cannot be improved in three to five years, as long as the seeds are planted, there will always be a chance to germinate and there will always be hope for growth!

"There is Gao Wenhu in the Leopard Room Warriors, which made me think, can I mention a sentence from the emperor and choose more ordinary children from the leopard room? Let me say more, Second brother, don't be too careful, the relationship between nobles and nobles is complicated. If you choose such children, you will have so much thoughts and so many relationships to pay attention to. If you don't use it at critical moments, you will have to make a big deal; and if you have many children from wealthy families can't endure hardships, and because of various relationships, you will be reluctant to teach."

"Ordinary people seek such opportunities but fail to get them. Once they are elected, they will be excited and come to repay the loyalty of the emperor and the country. The emperor comforts him a little, and he will be loyal to him. Moreover, people cherish the hard-won opportunities and study hard. Just like Wen Hu, he had to take the exam for a scholar at the beginning, but now it is very good to practice kung fu. It is 'a scholar should treat him with admiration for three days'. How can he have talent? Without it, he only uses his heart and only uses his own efforts."

When talking about the virtues of noble children, Zhang Hui and Cai Liang knew better than him, Shen Rui. But there were some things that Shen Rui could say, but they could not say in them.

Shen Rui didn't mind saying these words to Brother Shou, but I was afraid that if he didn't buy the accounts of noble children, Brother Shou would be happier.

After writing the letter, Shen Rui put it in a special bamboo tube. The bamboo tube has a simple mechanism. If someone who doesn't know how to disassemble it rashly opens the lid, there will be ink inside to dye the paper black, and the contents of the writing will naturally be invisible. It is a very basic but practical confidential device.

Shen Rui sealed the mouth according to the agency and asked the servant to look for the man who was delivering the letter in the second-class guest room.

Because the situation in Beijing was unpredictable at that time, and there were also martial arts and warriors in the Beijing room, Zhang Hui would send people to catch up with Shen Rui every three or two days to deliver a letter.

The senders were basically from Du Laoba, who were originally low-level people, and they would not attract any attention even if they were disguised as peddlers to leave Beijing.

Since Zhang Hui got married, the Duke of England will treat him as an adult according to the old rules, and all kinds of manpower are like his uncles.

When Zhang Hui took over the martial arts affairs of Beijing and Wei, the British Duke Zhang Mao also took it very seriously and specially assigned a capable general to him.

And his elder brother and grandson Zhang Lun handed over the entire line that Du Laoba had crossed the Ming Road to Zhang Hui.

Of course, there is another hidden thread and it is unknown to others.

Du Laoba also knew that his identity as a bastard would not be able to follow the British Duke to seek an official position again, so he did not feel sorry for him. Instead, he assisted Zhang Hui with pleasure and loyalty.

He had also done things with Zhang Hui, and was well aware of the style of this young master. He was to fully implement Zhang Hui's words and not pay any discounts at all.

Du Laoba carefully selected the letters of confidants who had dealt with the Shen family.

The sender caught up with Shen Rui's team, and he was a familiar face. He made a cut in to ensure that the letter was not forged. After handing over the letter, the sender followed Shen Rui and his party with him. After Shen Rui wrote the reply, he returned to Beijing.

As Shen Rui was far away from Beijing, more and more senders were sent out. Shen Rui was also convinced by Du Laoba, and there were so many people available.

You should know that the gangs under the emperor's feet are difficult to grow. If there are too many people, it will become the root of the turmoil. The government cannot allow the emperor to have such an armed force under his nose. Therefore, as long as it is slightly larger, it will be severely cracked down by the government.

Since Du Laoba was a member of the British grandson, he naturally knew the rules very well. Although his Green Wolf Gang was famous in the west of the city, his gang members were only a few dozen people.

Of course, this is on the surface.

He could send more than ten people to deliver letters, and then send more than ten people to follow the old British Duke to save Wang Yue. There were still people at hand who could maintain the daily operation of the Qinglang Gang. Du Laoba really cultivated his confidants.

However, sending letters like this is really too labor-intensive. Because he wrote some confidential words, it was difficult to send them to the station. Shen Rui couldn't help but secretly outline in his heart whether he could build his own information transmission line, and in the future, he could use it to send letters to Shandong, Songjiang, and Liaodong.

While thinking about this, the door of the room was knocked six times by three times.

Shen Rui responded, and the man who delivered the letter came in respectfully to salute.

After taking the bamboo tube handed over by Shen Rui, he turned it a few times and saw that the mechanism was closed. Then he pulled out a piece of oil cloth, stuffed it into his backpack, and bowed and said, "I will set off early tomorrow morning."

Shen Rui said with great effort and handed over the red seal. The man refused without hesitation, and directly brought the red envelope and thanked the reward, and then left.

Shen Rui stretched and came in with the servant who was taking off his socks and soaking his feet, but he saw that the sender just now ran in again without waiting for the report.

"Master Shen Er, our 'Stick Master' is here." The man gasped and said hurriedly. "He came over quickly, was so tired that he drank a sip of water below and moistened his throat. He called Xiao Di to say first, and he would arrive later..."

While speaking, another servant ran up and stared at the man fiercely. He was so angry that he apologized to Shen Rui and said, "...Second Master, this elder brother is really running too fast, the young man... didn't follow..."

Shen Rui didn't care about these things. He stopped soaking his feet. He hurriedly sent someone to carry the water down, and asked the man to invite the "Stick Master" to come.

No wonder he was so anxious, just because this person was Du Laoba's cousin, and had an agreement before that if Wang Yue's incident happened, this person would come to deliver the letter.

*

Du Laoba first brought a group of brothers, cousins ​​and cousins ​​to come out to make a living. These brothers who are related to blood work together to conquer the world is why he can quickly gain a foothold.

Unfortunately, it is not easy to save his life in the chaotic world of snatching territory. His blood-related brothers died on the streets one after another. When he eventually became the youngest cousin of the Qinglang Gang, he was left by his side. Du Laoba treated this remaining cousin as a younger brother.

This little cousin's surname is Wang, and his family is home. He originally had a nickname called Sigouzi. Later, Du Laoba had the nickname of Eight Master because of his eight fingers, so the name of Wang's cousin was not easy to call him - the prince could not call him, and the dog Master was not nice, so the fourth master went over to his brother again.

There are still some intelligent people in the world. Because of his cousin Wang's figure, he gave him a stick nickname. He laughed at him and agreed. The members of the Qinglang Gang called him the stick master.

So, you can tell the appearance of Cousin Wang by listening to the name of Jianzi. He really has nothing to do with his cousin Du Laoba, who has a strong face.

This cousin Wang is tall and thin, with long hands and feet, a narrow face, and a slightly sunken cheek, as if he hadn't eaten in his lifetime. He is simply a walking stubborn and worthy of the nickname "stick".

And everyone said that this person is more ruthless than Du Laoba. He beat him all the way and was indeed a "stick" of the Qinglang Gang.

Du Laoba is fully responsible for the "save Wang Yue" matters this time.

After sending the servant away, he sent someone from the Qinglang Gang to make trouble. Wang Jianzi bowed and said bluntly: "Second Master, I have to sit down and take a rest and take a breath. These two golden bars are not in control." As he said that, he spread onto the chair without waiting for Shen Rui's permission.

Jin Gangzi is a slander in the world, referring to the legs. Although Wang Jianzi has tried his best to communicate with Shen Rui in official language, he will inevitably bring out the habits of the world.

At this moment, his face was blown red by the wind, his lips were chapped, his voice was hoarse, and his steps were heavy when he entered the door, and he seemed to be very tired.

Shen Rui didn't pick on it, and even brought him tea himself. He looked at his expression carefully. Although he was tired, he was not anxious. He thought that things had been done, so he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Wang Jianzi was not polite, thanked him, picked up the teapot and poured half of it, and coughed a few times before his throat was healed. Sure enough, he reported the good news: "Don't worry, Second Master, it's done."

Shen Rui was extremely calm and smiled and nodded, "Eighth Master, second brother Zhang and I are relieved to do things."

Wang Jianzi immediately looked proud, bowed and thanked him, took a breath, and slowly talked about the process.

Although Dongchang said that Liu Jin and Qiu Ju secretly drew people to rob and kill Wang Yue, Fan Heng and Xu Zhi, this kind of thing is usually the time when the sent people decide to rob and kill, even if Liu Zhong cannot know the time and place.

According to the agreement with Shen Rui, Zhang Hui searched for Du Laoba while searching for the old subordinates who had left the British Duke's Mansion, and divided into two teams with Changshou and others around Shen Rui. One team stood in front of Wang Yue and the other team, and paid attention to the movement. The other team was behind Wang Yue and rushed out to save people at any time.

Wang Yue and the other three were imprisoned and demoted to Nanjing again, so they naturally had no momentum in the past. However, they took about twenty followers and dragged on their way very slowly.

The people from the East Factory were really patient and dragged them to the North Zhili without taking action until Shandong was in trouble.

"The people from the Duke's Mansion are worthy of coming from the battlefield. They are really smart. Brother Gao (the leader) said in a bald valley that this is the first place to do. I haven't believed it yet. It's not too far away that the county town is around. There are also villages around. If you get the fight, you will report the official there, which is not a problem.

"Brother Gao said that there are not many people in this kind of small place. Seeing that there is no time to hide, I will not come to care," Wang Jianzi smiled, revealing his white teeth, which became more and more like a skeleton, and his tone was also sarcastic. "I'm afraid I'll come and take a look after someone dies. Sure enough, I asked him to come and take a look. It was the official Wang Yue and the others went to report to themselves later. The county magistrate was so scared that he was almost peeing."

"The people led by Wang Yue are really cowardly. A man who is covered in faces and fucks the guy and howls. It would be strange if he doesn't ask anyone to wrap up the ball." Wang Jianzi said with disdain, "I think (opposite) and look at the pussy of these people, so he underestimated the enemy. Brother Gao told us not to move first, and wait for the idea to gather all the run away. When we were not prepared to chop people up, we took action and caught them off guard."

"Brother Changshou is really good! There are two hard ideas he cooks." Wang Jianzi said, giving him a thumbs up and said sincerely.

Shen Rui sighed in his heart. Although Changshou did a lot of things for him, this was the first time such a murder. He shook his head and put aside those meaningless thoughts, Shen Rui devoted his mind to Wang Jianzi's story.

The Dongchang really underestimated the enemy. Wang Yue and the others brought not many guards. They investigated again and knew that they were all incompetent. This time, the Dongchang didn't send many people, let alone any first-class masters.

On the side of Wang Jianzi, there are three people gathering together, and there are quite a few people. There are many soldiers from all walks of life who come from battles and know how to arrange troops and arrange formations. There are also some experts in Du Xiaobayang, who are not weak in skills, so he has all the advantages.

However, Dongchang was not given for free, and he had a good foundation. The two sides still had a fierce battle. Wang Jianzi barely killed all the people from Dongchang, and his side would inevitably suffer losses.

After the war, five people were killed and injured by Du Laoba, and one of Changshou's subordinates was killed and one of them was injured. The old subordinates of the Duke of England's mansion were pretty good. Perhaps the old soldiers knew how to save their lives, so they suffered minor injuries.
