The 1520th chapters battle the empire (19)
After the cavalry carried the Hui soldiers' orders and ran all the towns in the Zhao Hu army's territory, almost following the command of the cavalry, the hot atmosphere among the people was instantly ignited.
Needless to say, the slaves who have completely become Zhao Hujun's property did not take much rest after finishing their work, and they all worked hard to train their bodies. Everyone knows that to change their destiny, they can only rely on this opportunity in front of them.
In the castle hall where Zhao Hu lives.
The little businessman Lu Jun first stood up to salute, took out three documents and said, "Mr. Zhao Hu, the crown prince of your country wrote the edict himself..., uh, he wrote a letter himself, and there were military orders issued by the imperial department and government orders issued by the cabinet. He happened to be coming to the coastal province, so he asked him to send it to the next route."
After Zhao Hu thanked him, he took the document and watched it. The Crown Prince wrote it in his private capacity, which was roughly thanking Zhao Hu for his loyalty to the country. At the same time, he implied in his sentence that he was very satisfied with Zhao Hu's allegiance to him.
The content of the letter also implies that as long as Zhao Hu is loyal and diligent in working hard for the crown prince, countless glory and wealth are waiting for Zhao Hu.
However, at the end of the letter, a somewhat abrupt order was issued, requiring Zhao Hu to become an example of the imperial people and to completely obey the orders of the military headquarters.
This sentence seems a bit weird, but Zhao Hu didn't care at all. He would just give face to the marshal. Although Peter had already said that this trick was great, Zhao Hu had not yet thought of using the tiger's skin to pull the banner.
The cover of the Crown Prince's letter is just a very ordinary document specification, while the military orders issued by the military headquarters are very formal, just like the military order documents that were taken before, with the imperial emblem printed on the black cover.
Zhao Hu opened the seal neatly and unveiled the document, and the content was: "Captain Zhao Hu (Lin), the acting leader of the Fifth Regiment of the Fifth Brigade of the Sea Bin Provincial Security Division, led his troops well and made contributions to defending the territory. According to the Emperor's Merits Regulations, Zhao Hu is appointed as the Emperor's Major General.
It was also heard that the provinces in the southeastern coast of the empire were not stable, so Major General Zhao Hu, the emperor, was brave and good at fighting. He was granted the 20th legion of the empire. All the powers within the legion were independently owned by Major General Zhao Hu. It is expected that the protection of the southeastern coast of the empire should be made more contributions. Major General Zhao Hu hopes to make new contributions.
This order was in the autumn of the mainland in 1741.
Imperial tribe (seal), Imperial marshal (seal).
Zhao Hu was a little stunned when he saw this order book. He was promoted to major general before he was promoted to formalities. He was also given a legion? Moreover, this legion was the twenty legion he had served in before!
But in this way, the Eighteenth, Nineteenth, and Twentieth Legions that had set out to fight against the grassland were indeed wiped out, otherwise the number of regular legions would not have been so easy to give.
However, it is too embarrassing to have a small major general serve as the commander of a legion? A division commander of a regular army is all lieutenant general.
However, Zhao Hu was just stunned for a moment. To be honest, it was nothing great for Zhao Hu and his subordinates to give him a marshal position and ten legions.
In this year, the troops were formed by the chief officers themselves, and the number of the troops was completely a short promise, which was worthless!
Putting the military order aside, Zhao Hu picked up the cabinet's decree. This is a white cover with the pattern of the empire's national emblem. Zhao Hu had never seen what the empire's decree looked like. When he opened it, he saw that it was written in artistic words: "Looking at the coast of the southeastern border of the empire, the sea and spring provinces, thieves were rampant in the people's lives. I heard that Major General Zhao Hu, the commander of the 20th Army of the empire, was stationed here.
Major General Zhao Hu was specially appointed as the governor of Haibin and Haiquan provinces. He hoped that Major General Zhao Hu would eliminate the gangsters in the two provinces as soon as possible, and one of the people in the two provinces would be bright and bright.
This order was in the autumn of the mainland in 1741.
The imperial cabinet (seal), the imperial prime minister (seal).
Zhao Hu was stunned this time. The supervisor, such as the legal warlord, actually fell on him. And there were only two provinces at the same time. This is also a bit too false, right? Do you really treat people like me like you?
Why did Zhao Hu have such an idea? Because the governor has disappeared for hundreds of years in the history of the empire.
As the name suggests, the military supervisor is only a position to supervise the military, generally a position to supervise a provincial military affairs, and this position is appointed by the cabinet and belongs to the role of a half-civilian official and half-military general.
At the beginning, such supervisors were all civil servants, but due to the war issue and the unwillingness of the troops below, they became full-time positions for officers, but the appointment power was still in the hands of the cabinet.
As for why the Supervisor is a legal warlord, it is just because the Supervisor usually holds two powers.
The first is the power to control the military affairs of the whole province. That is, all the military forces in the province are under the jurisdiction of the governor. Even if there are four or five corpses in the local area, as long as the province stationed is divided into the governor, and if it is not led by the marshal or has other orders, then the four or five corpses are nominally controlled by the governor.
In addition to these, the governor also has the autonomous powers of mobilization, organization, and personnel under his jurisdiction. Therefore, the governor is also called a fake marshal, which is only one level lower than the marshal who controls the country's military power.
Another power is that the supervisor has the power to collect money, food and soldiers from the supervisor's territory. In other words, the supervisor can recruit soldiers and pay in the controlled territory anytime and anywhere. This power is a world of difference compared with the power of the provincial governor.
The governor's autonomy and the right to recruit money, grain and soldiers made the governor completely an earth emperor in his jurisdiction. However, this is recognized by the imperial law, so it is also called a legal warlord.
Of course, this governor was not arbitrary seal. At that time, only during the period of great expansion of the empire, there were governors in the border provinces connected to the enemy country.
And without exception, these people who served as governors either proclaimed themselves as kings and were destroyed by the empire or transferred back to the imperial capital to freeze. Anyway, no one had a good result.
Lu Jun, who had been waiting for a long time, saw that Zhao Hu had finally finished reading the document, and said anxiously: "Sir Zhao Hu, in addition to letters, this time, there are rewards from the military and cabinet, as well as gifts from the crown prince privately. These are all on the carriage outside, please accept them." As he said that, he made an invitation gesture.
Lu Jun clapped his hands and shouted, "Hurry up, move everything down."
With the work of the caravan, everyone soon knew what kind of reward the imperial capital had sent.
The military headquarters gave five boxes of military rank signs for officers above the second lieutenant, as well as the number flags, armbands, and seals of the 20th Legion. Judging from the new appearance of these things, they probably just made it.
In addition to this, there are ten boxes of blank military registration cards and officer appointment documents.
Zhao Hu knew very well what the military headquarters meant to give these things, but he just wanted to brand his army the regular army of the Imperial Army.
The cabinet gave a gold ticket that could withdraw gold coins from any gold bank in the Free Alliance. The amount was not large, only 10,000. Not to mention Zhao Hu, even his subordinates didn't take much attention.
The gifts given by the crown prince were a bunch of special fabrics and utensils for the palace, the most eye-catching of them were the ten young and beautiful palace maids who came with the car.
However, compared with Zhao Hu's maid, it was obvious that it was a little lower. Even Lu Jun shook his head secretly, thinking that the crown prince underestimated people and was likely to treat Zhao Hu as a rustic bull.
Looking at so many things, it seems that only the light gold ticket is barely considered more practical, and the others can be said to be garbage.
This made Zhou Wen, who served as the chief supervisor of the inner guard, very dissatisfied with the imperial capital. Peter also thought they had the title of righteousness, but he was so stingy!
After seeing that Zhao Hu did take over the things and initially obtained the business rights of the place from Zhao Hu, Lu Jun was ready to take his leave.
However, before leaving, Lu Jun said to Zhao Hu: "My Lord Zhao Hu, since His Highness the Crown Prince asked me to spread the rewards you received after you accept the gift, so please do not doubt that you have any bad intentions. I just collect money and serve others."
Zhao Hu smiled: "Of course, please feel free to do this."
Zhao Hu had already prepared for the things that would definitely be widely publicized by the imperial capital, but he didn't know why he came to promote it after he accepted the gift?
Is the imperial capital afraid that I will regret it? Well, this is possible. If I preach it in advance but find that Zhao Hu does not accept the reward, wouldn’t it mean that someone slapped the head a few times? The imperial capital can’t afford to lose this face.
As soon as Lu Jun left the gate, he saw nearly a hundred men riding horses rushing into Zhao Hu's mansion.
Moreover, Lu Jun also noticed that the guard not only did not intercept these people, but helped to pull the horse. In addition, nearly a hundred men were either wearing school uniforms or civilian uniforms. He immediately understood that Zhao Hu's subordinates had received the news and rushed to congratulate him.
Lu Jun couldn't help but nodded secretly: "It's worthy of being a warlord, and even civil servants have a sense of a military aura. However, the military officer of Zhao Hu's warlord can even play with civil servants? It shouldn't be possible, but people's livelihood has been very good all the way. I really don't understand it. Well, it seems that I have to stay here for a few more days to investigate."
Lu Jun shook his head and left.
