"The Thirteenth Master has a good memory, and I was promoted to Captain Wujie the year before last." Qiu Hong was extremely humble.
Zhu Jinghong nodded and motioned to Yinglian to pour tea.
"In this case, it's time to be promoted to the fourth rank, right?" Zhu Jinghong asked calmly.
Qiu Hong laughed twice, with a bitter look on his face, "Thirteenth Master Mingjian, it's just that it's so difficult to be promoted across grades."
In fact, he was able to be promoted to the rank of real power officer in his thirties. Jiang is already a leader among his peers.
But above the fifth rank, the number of official positions with real power decreases sharply, and they are still a carrot and a pit, so it is naturally very difficult to get promoted.
"This is difficult to say, but easy to say."
Zhu Jinghong was eating cakes while talking, looking particularly relaxed and comfortable, but Qiu Hong didn't think so. He was joking.
These days he has also seen clearly that the prince relies heavily on Zhu Jinghong, and he has the final say in all matters in Jinling.
"Please ask Mr. Thirteen to clarify my doubts"
"You are a very smart person, but why are you not smart at the critical moment"
"I am stupid"
p>
Without any nonsense, Zhu Jinghong immediately said, "My Ming Dynasty has always made clear rewards and punishments. Now that you have led your troops to the capital camp, all you have to do is make meritorious deeds."
"As long as you have military merit, "Boy, because of the friendship between you and me, I will give you a few kind words when I return to Beijing, and the old man will not just reward you with a fourth grade."
Although I am in my thirties, I still feel so good after hearing this beautiful thing. Qiu Hong couldn't help but get excited for a while.
"Master Thirteen is willing to help me." Qiu Hong stood up again, bowed his waist and saluted Zhu Jinghong, his expression full of hope.
Moving for Qiu Hong to sit down again, Zhu Jinghong continued, "You know what the situation is like in Jinling now. The officers and soldiers along the coast not only have to encircle and suppress Japanese pirates, but also guard against Japanese pirates attacking from the sea. Their military strength is very stretched."
"If you are sent to the front line to assist the guard army in exterminating the Japanese pirates, it will be very easy to make meritorious service."
Winning and making meritorious service in the war was originally Qiu Hong's idea when he came to Jinling. Unfortunately, when the prince arrived in Yingtian, he never The matter was not mentioned.
"What Thirteenth Master means"
"What I mean is that I recommend you to lead the troops to the east and assist the guard army in exterminating the Japanese pirates"
In other words, after he came to Jinling, Qiu Hong could finally lead his troops into battle.
Qiu Hong was so excited that he immediately asked, "Your Highness, why don't you let Yang Renzhong go with you? This way we can occupy the north and the south respectively, and the chance of winning the annihilation of the Japanese pirates will be greater."
Without this arrangement The reason is that temporary food adjustments cannot support large-scale military operations, and replenishing the front line requires hard work from various places.
Yang Renzhong leads the infantry, and relatively speaking there is less logistical pressure. It seems objectively more reasonable for him to go to the front line.
The reason why Zhu Jinghong chose Qiu Hong was because of the mobility of his cavalry, which was undoubtedly more effective in defending the long coast.
Of course, Zhu Jinghong will not tell these truths.
"What kind of friendship between you and me, and good things must be done by ourselves?"You don't even understand the principle of "my friends come first," Zhu Jinghong asked angrily.
Qiu Hong quickly confessed, "I can't thank the Thirteenth Master enough for showing me your love."
"Okay, okay, anything about being grateful or not is just empty talk. You have to fight hard and kill more Japanese pirates to live up to my love and concern."
Hearing these words, Qiu Hong took it seriously. I am extremely touched, this is a real benefit
"Thank you for your kindness, Master Thirteen, I will do my best to kill the Japanese pirates"
"Well, this is the best"< /p>
With a simple trick, Zhu Jinghong gained the gratitude of both Jinling Dusi and Qiu Hong. For him, today was a full day.
The two of them continued to drink tea, Zhu Jinghong. After some encouragement, the conversation between the two ended.
Qiu Hong returned home full of fighting spirit and vowed to lead his troops to defeat the Japanese pirates.
"Young Master. , why do these officials see you like a mouse sees a cat?"
"What does your family do?"
In the pavilion, Yinglian asked this face to face Question.
Everyone hid it from her, and she couldn't hold back her strong curiosity. She wanted to ask it even though it was rude.
Of course, she could tell. Zhu Jinghong was kind-hearted and would not ask because of his anger. After all, the little girl was quite smart.
Zhu Jinghong clapped his hands and said, "It's nothing, actually." I just have a good father."
"What does your family do?"
Zhu Jinghong smiled slightly and replied, "My family is in the world."
"It is in the world." "
Just after thinking for a moment, Yinglian's face suddenly changed, and she froze in place.
After a long time, Yinglian asked tremblingly, "Sir, are you the prince? "
The emperor's son is a prince. This rule has been more than three hundred years since Zhu Yuanzhang and has become common knowledge in the world.
"No, but it will soon be" Zhu Jinghong Her tone was still calm, as if she was talking about an ordinary matter.
But through observing the palace these days, Tian Yinglian knew that Zhu Jinghong was telling the truth, and only this result was reasonable.
"Report to the Thirteenth Master, the son of Jinling Inspector He Gujin is requesting an audience."
The sudden report from outside interrupted the conversation between Zhu Jinghong and Yinglian.
p>
Zhu Jinghong turned his head, looked up and down at Deng An who came to deliver the message, and asked slowly, "This person has no official status, how can he get close to the palace gate and find you to deliver the message?"
Deng An came to deliver the message after receiving money. Now when he was questioned by Zhu Jinghong, he was wrong to tell the truth or lie. He was stunned for a moment.
"You deserve to be punished for taking advantage of him."
This Deng An is a smart man and knows that lying can't hide Zhu Jinghong, so he just tells the truth.
"Humph, you are good at doing business"
Look. Looking at Deng who is kneeling on the groundAn, Zhu Jinghong asked in a deep voice, "What is he doing here?"
"Go back to the Thirteenth Master. This man has brought a lot of things, including weapons and horses. I'm afraid he is here to give you gifts." Deng An replied cautiously.
"This is the first time I have been bribed. It's really interesting." Zhu Jinghong's eyes were blazing.
After reviewing the current situation in Jinling, Zhu Jinghong guessed that this person must have something he wanted, so he ordered Deng An to bring him in.
After leaving the pavilion, Deng An wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had just been frightened, so he asked He Jiayan to double the money.
Hurrying to the palace gate, Deng An first said how troublesome it would be to help deliver the message, and then reminded that the rules for entering the palace were complicated, but he could help take care of them.
So in order to make things easier, He Jiayan spent a hundred taels, which made Deng An smile.
"Master He, please come in"
He Jiayan looked embarrassed, glanced at the motorcade behind him, and asked, "What about these things?"
Perhaps because he was happy after getting the money, Deng An said nonchalantly, "Let the guards check it and bring them in together."
"That's very good." He Jiayan was very happy.
In the forbidden area of the palace, everyone must be questioned and inspected when entering, even if they bring something with them.
Soon, swords, bows, crossbows, and even controlled armor and fire guns were found among the things He Jiayan brought.
In the end, after He Jiayan’s explanation and Deng An’s life as a guarantee, these things were sent to the palace.
However, in order to ensure absolute safety, Qianhu sent thirty soldiers on duty to escort these things into the palace.
"Master He, I risk my life as a guarantee for you. How can you repay this childish love?"
"Don't worry, father-in-law, I know what I know" He Jiayan replied with a smile.
"Just give me a few hundred taels of silver."
I only gave two hundred taels, and it was a few hundred taels. He Jiayan secretly scolded Deng An for being greedy.
"Easy to say, easy to say" He Jiayan endured the heartache. Please remember to collect it. The website is the latest and fastest without anti-theft. To find books and add books for free, you can join the qq group 952868558
