Chen Longxuan followed the young eunuch out of the palace. When he arrived outside the palace gate, he saw that the middle-aged eunuch who had taken Guan Jinlong away was already waiting there.
Behind the middle-aged eunuch were two young eunuchs, one of whom was holding a court official's robe in his hand, and the other was holding a box in both hands.
"Master Chen, this is your commander's uniform and seal badge!" The middle-aged eunuch said calmly.
"Thank you, father-in-law!" Chen Longxuan saluted with a smile and held a 10,000-tael silver note in his hand.
"I haven't asked my father-in-law about my surname yet!" Chen Longxuan continued.
The middle-aged eunuch took a look at the banknote and immediately became friendly.
"The Ye family's surname is Li. If Mr. Chen encounters any difficulties in the future, you can come to the Ye family for discussion!" Eunuch Li said and left.
After leaving the palace, Chen Longxuan went directly to the vicinity of the Wucheng Bingma Division, where Sun Zhigao had been waiting.
The yamen of the Wucheng Military and Horse Division was built in the bustling city of the capital. This also made it convenient for troops to be dispatched immediately in the event of a security incident.
The subordinates of the Wucheng Bingma Division are the collective name of the five Bingma Divisions in the southeast, northwest, and northwest.
Each military division has ten armored troops, and together with the headquarters, there are sixty armored troops totaling 3,000 people.
In addition to Chen Longxuan, the commander of the troops and horses of the Five Cities, who is of the fourth rank, the deputy commander of the troops and horses of the Five Cities is also of the fifth rank!
As for the commanders of the southeast, northwest and medium-sized military and horse regions, they only have the rank of sixth rank.
It sounds like this official position is majestic and promoted, but compared to Chen Longxuan commanding 10,000 Tianxuan troops in Guimenxia City, the actual power is much inferior.
In addition to maintaining law and order, the troops of the Five Cities are also responsible for dredging rivers and fire bans! This is equivalent to bringing together the powers of the police, urban management, river chiefs and firefighters.
There are a lot of things going on, but the actual power is not very good! Moreover, once the royal family and nobles in the capital cause trouble, it will be very difficult to deal with it.
"Sir, let's find out! The Five Cities Military and Horse Division now has three deputy commanders. Among them, Guan Jincheng was the most promising to become the commander." Sun Zhigao said in a low voice.
"No wonder!" Chen Longxuan finally understood why Guan Jinlong had such a bad attitude towards him. It turned out to be because he blocked the way of his brother Guan Jincheng.
"Let's go in!" Chen Longxuan said calmly, heading towards the gate of Wucheng Soldiers and Horses first.
"Stop, what are you doing?" The guard at the door immediately stopped him.
"Do you recognize what this is?" Chen Longxuan raised the commanding seal high. When the two guards saw it, their knees softened and they knelt down.
"My subordinates pay homage to the commander!" One of the guards who looked smarter said immediately.
"Well, what's your name?" Chen Longxuan pointed at him and asked.
"Subordinate Wang Dashan!" The guard was a little excited.
"You will work with me from now on!" Chen Longxuan said lightly, and Wang Dashan immediately beamed with joy.
This is really bad luck today!
"If you have any brothers who are frustrated, you can call them over!" Chen Longxuan continued.
At the moment, he doesn't know any of the military commanders in the five cities, and Guan Jincheng will definitely not obey him so easily.
"There are seven or eight of them!" Wang Dashan said immediately.
"That's enough!" Chen Longxuan first asked Wang Dashan to take him to the commander's room, and then asked Sun Zhigao to arrange some people to follow Wang Dashan and others to notify the deputy commander to come over for a meeting.
"Sir, these guys will definitely go against the will and give up various reasons not to come!" Sun Zhigao said from the side.
"That just makes room for you!" Chen Longxuan said with a slight smile.
Although the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is a little more hip, it is still an army in name!
What is enforced is military law, which is extremely strict.
Chen Longxuan asked Sun Zhigao to make a pot of tea leisurely, and then sat on the chair with a leisurely manner and waited.
Two quarters of an hour later, Wang Dashan and others came back, but their faces were a little ugly.
"Sir, we can't find anyone." Wang Dashan reported.
"It doesn't matter, you go look for the roster of our Military and Horse Division and I'll take a look!" Chen Longxuan ordered.
Wang Dashan was the gate guard. Although he was in a low position, he could hear a lot of messages every day! So it didn't take long for him to move the roster of soldiers and horses from the five cities.
Chen Longxuan flipped through the pages carefully. There must be some soldiers in the 60th Army of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who were on free wages, but he didn't know whether the situation was serious or not.
Seeing that half an hour was approaching, three people rushed in from outside.
They saw Chen Longxuan sitting in the commander's position with the commander's seal on the table beside him, and they immediately saluted Chen Longxuan.
"Deputy Commander Chen Kun pays homage to the Commander!"
"Nancheng Commander Liu Qing pays homage to the Commander!"
"Zhongcheng Commander Shi Kexing pays homage to the Commander!"
"Everyone, please take a seat first!" Chen Longxuan said calmly.
Apart from myself, only three of the thirteen main officials from the Five Cities Military and Horse Department came. The rest were probably Guan Jincheng's confidants.
Unexpectedly, this person has already managed these five cities as his own territory!
"Sun Zhigao, beat the drum!" Chen Longxuan shouted at this time.
"Yes!" Sun Zhigao immediately followed the order and left, while the expressions of Chen Kun and others changed slightly.
The general drum is always a mascot in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and no one will touch it! But if the general drum is played, and the three passes are not achieved, he will be executed.
This is military law!
The newly appointed commander actually dares to beat the general's drum. Is this a fool or does he really have a great background?
"Dong dong dong!" The sound of the drum sounded quickly, and the sound was loud and could reach at least a mile away!
At this time, in the restaurant next to the Wucheng Military and Horse Department, a group of officials who were still drinking and having fun suddenly turned a little ugly.
"Is this the drumbeat of our yamen?" At this time, an official said with some fear.
"So what! It seems that the commander has arrived! There are so many of us here, how dare he kill all of us?" Guan Jincheng said disdainfully at this time.
He was bitter about Chen Longxuan's parachute landing and snatching his position as commander. Today, knowing that the other party would take office, he deliberately summoned the officials of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division to not give him face.
In addition, this also tells the other party that the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is his territory in charge of Jincheng, and it will be difficult for anyone to come and use it!
The previous Commander-in-Chief of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses was deprived of his power by him, and he only worked in humiliation for two years before being transferred to other places.
The sound of the drum soon stopped. Guan Jincheng laughed and said, "Look, that guy named Chen is just bluffing. Don't be scared!"
The atmosphere immediately became lively again, and all the fears in every official's heart were eliminated! They started drinking and having fun again, teasing the maids around them.
