Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 779 The three guards of the Tiger Talisman opened the mansion and built teeth!
Soon, a rather solemn order-delivery ceremony began in the county governor's mansion.

Huan Yi took out the objects representing his identity, and then took out the imperial edict. Accompanied by several subordinates, he read the words on it and proclaimed its meaning. He spoke a few hundred words eloquently, first describing Chen Zhi's achievements, and then expressing the emperor's longing. , walked around in circles for a while, and finally got to the point——

"...I think of Chen Qing's hard work, feel the hardships of the frontier, understand the hardships of the frontier, and see Hu Shou's contribution, so I made this decision to give the general post of Zheng Bei, the authority to do things cheaply, open the government and build teeth, Command the three guards to protect the peace of the North!"

Accompanied by the most important sentence, many people let go of their hanging hearts, but more people showed surprise, because after hearing the words "leading the three guards", Everyone realizes the weight of it.

Even a few people from aristocratic families who came specially to attend to the ceremony exchanged glances with each other, and a few people in the corner were talking in low voices——

"This title of general is often given to generals who go on expeditions. The number of guards in command often represents the number of troops. One guard and three armies. If an army takes 2000 people, then one guard will be [-] troops! Three guards will be Eighteen thousand!”

"This still excludes baggage and logistics figures! The generals who guard the frontier generally command military towns. Towns are similar to guards, but they represent defense. Most of the time, there will be foreign troops sent by the court to restrict them. Focusing on defense, only half of the troops that can be directly controlled may be mobilized, and the rest require military symbols and tokens!"

"Isn't that right? This general of the guard has more freedom to send troops, but it stands to reason that he will not be granted the title easily, let alone three guards at a time! Even the troops of many princes and princes are only one guard. , two guards! In this case, it will be more difficult for those martial artists like me to take it back!"

The people of these aristocratic families, now relying on Chen Zhi's profit sharing and the improvement of Daijun's situation, have gained a lot of practical benefits and lost a lot of thoughts, but people's hearts are never satisfied, let alone the matter of Wu Ding. , they had already suffered a big loss, and now they have gained a lot of benefits, but they have also lost a lot of privileges. Even the control over the tenant farmers has been loosened a lot, and this suppression is still going on, so in the hearts of the people of the aristocratic family, actually Still have plans, just waiting for the opportunity.

As a result, the arrival of a general with real power, together with the establishment of three guards and horses, suddenly broke their illusions, and many people secretly complained.

You must know that in the eyes of many people, Chen Zhi's current Wuding scale of [-] people actually has huge hidden dangers. The first problem is that he does not have a legitimate name to accommodate these individuals. Instead, they are affiliated with the names of major aristocratic families, using Wuding's The form is working, and there are undoubtedly hidden dangers in such actions, but now that the aristocratic family is completely suppressed, and at the same time has huge profits to share, only then can they live in peace.

However, in other words, these aristocratic families can give up these warriors, because many of them are not actually servants of the aristocratic families, but are temporarily recruited from the fields in order to cope with business affairs according to the simple standards explained by Chen Zhi, such as That was the case for Jiang Xi and others.

But the consequence of this is that this group of people were quickly won over by Chen Zhi, and it was difficult for them to be controlled by the aristocratic family. It was tantamount to Chen Zhi using the hands of the aristocratic family to recruit a group of warriors from the private sector. That was all, but they still had to occupy The quota of servants of the aristocratic family is equivalent to suppressing the military force of the aristocratic family in disguise, making it difficult for them to form a larger-scale guard force. It is a variant of strong trunk and weak branch.

Now that Chen Zhi has officially won the title, the process of Wu Ding's transformation into a regular member of the Northern Army will begin quickly. If the Wu Ding Daijun family wants to take back this part of the family, there is no need to think about it, but on the other hand, it seems that they can no longer be The quota limit, the good and bad, is really difficult to measure, and everyone's expressions are complicated.But on the other hand, Chen Zhi, who was standing opposite Huan Yi, was dressed neatly in official uniform. He stepped forward and took the order with the appointment letter written on it. He saluted according to the rules and then felt an inexplicable aura surrounding him. , the whole person's thinking became much clearer in an instant. He knew the reason in his heart and understood that it was luck, but he didn't go into it deeply, and then he took a copper tiger charm.

He actually had the ribbon, official seal, official uniform, documents, etc. of General Zhengbei when he was in Qingzhou, but he did not have real power. But now that he has got this tiger talisman, the situation is different. .

With this tiger talisman, he can deploy his troops and generals, accumulate troops and horses, and build a military team. Wherever the general goes, everyone from top to bottom will follow him, and he will be a true commander-in-chief.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lieutenant Huan Du. I have already prepared some tea here. Please rest for a while. Please come inside." After Chen Zhi got the tiger talisman, he immediately called himself "this general" to show his attitude.

Huan Yi could only follow it, but he smiled helplessly in his heart, thinking that this time he came here, he was actually exposed from the beginning, so Chen Zhi could seize the key so quickly, forcing himself to use his biggest trump card first Taking it out, he had to take out the appointment letter first, but in this way, he would not have many trump cards.

"However, there is no way around it." As Chen Zhi walked into the house, Huan Yi sighed secretly, "Chen Zhi's people have asked him many times before, which was actually to express his attitude. If I didn't make this matter clear at that time, , I’m afraid I will be like Zaosong, give him a cold reception first, and it will be too late to talk about the king’s instructions later.”

However, Huan Yi also realized that Chen Zhi's willingness to express his position in this way also showed that he was interested in contacting King Jiangdu, so he could still look forward to the next step.

With this thought, he followed Chen Zhi into the back hall, where they sat and talked. They had a cordial and friendly but ineffective conversation. Finally, under Chen Zhi's kind invitation, the two agreed on a banquet a few days later. Huan Yi then left. He knew very well that Chen Zhi had just taken over the actual post and was about to make an internal allocation. He was not suitable to stay. However, he noticed that the officials who accompanied Chen Zhi to receive him , has long been gearing up and eager to try. He doesn't want to stay here and be an eyesore.

Sure enough, as soon as Huan Yi's people left, many officials came up to congratulate Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi waved his hand and said, "It is indeed worthy of congratulations for me to have this right, but power always depends on people's help. The title of General Zhengbei allows me to open a house and build teeth, so I need someone to help me. Su Liao, you know the big man well." Lüdian, what kind of official positions does this general's mansion have?"

Su Liaoyue came out of the crowd, cupped his hands, and said: "The person who is given the title of general by the local governor is an ancient system, but in the past, most of the people who were added were the governors of the state, so there were two prefectures in one state, and the officials and assistants had two tracks. It’s all done, there are nine main officials in the General’s Mansion…”
