Chapter 34 Qingyun from now on

In mid-November, it was already the middle of winter, and a heavy snow fell one after another. After the snow, Weizhou City was wrapped in silver, sweeping away the cold and majestic posture of the border city, as if it had turned into a fairy tale world.

The sound of firecrackers in the Song family courtyard of Xiaoshiqiao. Today is the day when Song Nan joined the general flag of Weibei Qianhu Institute in Weizhou. Only a month after the trial, the Song family boy township sneaked into the Weizhou Guard and became an officer, which is somewhat surprising.

It is not difficult to say that the Ming Dynasty wants to join the army, but all the right age and healthy people have opportunities, but it is easy to become an ordinary soldier, and it is not easy to be promoted in the army, especially like Brother Song, who enters and put on the general flag, which is even more difficult to imagine.

The military establishment of the Ming Dynasty implemented the guardhouse system. Each guard is equipped with a commander, commanding and commanding one member. That is the chief officer. Below is a thousand households, a hundred households below, and below a hundred households is the general flag. Generally speaking, the general flag is still a low-level officer. If compared with the compilation and production of later generations, it is about It's like a platoon officer; he joined the army as the general flag. If it hadn't been for the children of Xunqi's family in the Ming Dynasty, it could be seen that Jiang Bin was also full of energy in this matter.

Jiang Bin's original promise to Song Nan was to arrange the status of officials first. Although the status is not low, after all, there is no actual official position, and the power of officials also comes directly from the attached officials. The two are not the same.

The snow in front of the Song family, which was blown up by firecrackers, was charred and yellow, and the air was filled with the aroma of gunpowder. A wave of rural neighbors crowded and laughed in the yard. The young master of the Song family entered the military as an officer. In the future, it will be more or less beneficial to your neighbors, so everyone spared no effort to say some auspicious words and strive to give Song Nan has a good impression.

In the noise, the sound of gongs and drums came from outside the courtyard. Without Song Nan to speak, Da Niu squeezed out of the far away to check. After a moment, he squeezed in and shouted, "Brother Nan, what a big show. A large wave of people came from the side of the stone bridge, and there were many red-dressed and flower-dressed people, followed by a large group of black horses riding horses. Where's the military master?"

Song Nan was stunned and immediately realized that it was Jiang Bin. Sure enough, a large group of singing stilts crowded into the yard, saying congratulations, and then surrounded the venue to perform. Jiang Bin entered the yard with a large number of soldiers in high spirit.

"Congratulations on the promotion of the Song brothers and making a fortune. Haha, I'm happy when my brother comes." Jiang Bin's loud voice can't even hide the gongs and drums.

Song Nan quickly held his fist and returned the salute, pointing to a group of demons dancing and blowing horns: "Jianhu, what are you doing?"

Jiang Bin laughed and said, "Brother Song's good day, when my brother found these guys to join in the fun, it looks festive."

Song Nan rolled his eyes, and seven or eight officers who followed Jiang Bin also arched their hands and rejoiced one after another. Song Nan returned the salute one by one, leading everyone to sit in the hall. Jiang Bin took the lead in placing a package on the table, and seven or eight officers also took out large and small packages to deliver them.

Song Nan hurriedly said, "What is this?"

Jiang Bin smiled and said, "He Yi, are you coming empty-handed? These are all my Baihu, this is Zhao Baihu, this is Liu Baihu, this is Ma Baihu, this is..."

Jiang Bin introduced them to Song Nan one by one. They were all officers belonging to the Northern Qianhu. Song Nan said while giving a gift: "This is not good. There is no reason to ask you to give gifts. You are all my superiors. It is reasonable for me to visit you. Isn't this a compromise? This gift I can't accept it."

Jiang Bin laughed and said, "It's okay. You are my brother of Jiang Bin. How can you not sell face? Don't you think so?

Ma Baihu said with a kind face and a smile, "Yes, Jiang Qianhu's brother, that's our brother. Don't refuse a little, unless you look down on our brother."

Hundreds of households echoed, "Yes, do you look down on your brothers?"

Song Nan had no choice but to order Ping'er's men to give the gift and whisper how much money she had to return. I'm afraid that few of these officers sincerely congratulated them. They had no friendship with them, but because of Jiang Bin, they couldn't ask for their gifts. Don't provoke a group of enemies without entering the barracks.

On the tea, Jiang Bin and others sat down and drank tea. After a while, the people inside and outside the courtyard were in a mess, and the sound of scolding came from outside the courtyard. Jiang Bin beat the teacup, got up and scolded, "Who doesn't give face? Today's Song brothers's good day dare to come to the door and be wild. Does his mother want to die?"

Hundreds of households got up and walked out one after another to see who was messing around here, but they saw several brocade guards in red robes coming in from the door of the courtyard with long knives, followed by two swaggering guys. The first one who walked broad shoulders and folded his chest and folded their stomachs. It was the same as the brocade guards.

Jiang Bin said loudly, "Lao Fang, what the hell are you doing? What are you doing?"

Fang Datong was surprised and said, "Do you make trouble? Who is going to make trouble? I'm here to send a gift to congratulate Mr. Song's entry. Do you allow me to come?"

Jiang Bin shouted, "What the mother, these are the neighbors of the Song brothers. What are your men doing? Do you want to be powerful?"

Fang Datong was stunned and laughed, "It turned out that it was because of this. I didn't expect Jiang Qianhu to love the people like a son. Come on, it's my fault. Brother Song, congratulations to you as my brother."

Song Nan couldn't help having fun listening to their answers. Both guys were rude words.

"Thank you, Lord Fang, how dare you be." Song Nan arched his hand and smiled.

"It should be. This is a small meaning. Be sure to accept it." The accompanying captain of Jinyiwei presented two parcels: "One is mine, and the other is my brother's. Come on, let me introduce you. This is Liu Wufu, the general flag of the 100 households of Jinyiwei in Weizhou. You are close."

Song Nan quickly came forward and hugged his fist and said, "I've been looking forward to you for a long time. Song Nan, Mr. Liu is good."

Liu Wufu is not tall, and his small eyes are shining. At first glance, he is a shrewd figure. His eyes are small and his eyes are white, teaching people to have a sense of discomfort.

Liu Wufu returned a softly salute and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Song, Lord Fang has been in front of Song many times, saying that Song, who is young, handsome and extraordinary. When I see him today, it is really not a lie."

Song Nan said repeatedly, "It's here. Please prepare a thick tea inside. It's just a few adults to use it."

Fang Datong said, "What kind of tea to drink? When I came here, I had already set up a box in Sifang Building. Let's have fun together. Let's go quickly."

Jiang Bin laughed and said, "You are always careful, but there is one most important thing that hasn't been done. If you do it, just leave."

Song Nan didn't know what he was referring to, but he heard Jiang Bin shout, "Come up."

Two soldiers came out, each holding a large mahogany tray, one with a neat set of armor and round helmets, and the other tray with a long knife and a horse whip.

"A!" Ma Baihu shouted loudly, and Jiang Bin smiled and picked up the armor on the tray to put on for Song Nan. This is a new set of cotton armor, worn on Song Nan. He suddenly became energetic and looked like a heroic teenager.

Everyone inside and outside the courtyard applauded, and Brother Song's armor seemed to be born to be an officer.

"Guntil the horse!" Ma Baihu's voice rose again.

Jiang Bin took a long knife with both hands and hung it around his waist for Song Nan, and put the horse whip on Song Nan's waist belt. He stepped back and looked at it for a while. Suddenly, he laughed and said, "What a polite flag officer."

Song Nanxin said: I am a Confucian general, okay?

The armor, horses and knives were all given, and this symbolic ceremony came to an end. From now on, Song Nan officially became an officer in Weizhouwei. Song Nan sighed that in order to make a look these days, he had to struggle to change this outfit. There will be a long way to go. Everything has just begun, and we still need to work hard.

Song Nan kowtowed to Song's mother in full military uniform. Song's mother's eyes were full of tears. She didn't know whether she was happy or regretful. Her only son ran to the army and had an indescribable taste in her heart, but she was also happy to see her son's heroic appearance after putting on armor.

Fang Datong repeatedly greeted him for a drink. Song Nan quickly ordered Ping'er and Uncle Zhong to take good care of the neighbors, and invited Li Daniu to book a seat in the nearby pub to entertain the neighbors to eat and drink. Then he was surrounded by Jiang Binfang and others to go to the most upscale restaurant "Sifang Building" in Weizhou to celebrate.
