But just a quarter of an hour after Wang Lin left Zhouya, more than ten riders arrived in Yizhou at full speed, and immediately passed through the city and went straight to Zhouya.
Before the people arrived, a high-pitched voice from the small yellow door at the head shouted: "The imperial edict has arrived - Chen Ping, who knows the military and political affairs of Yizhou, is a man from Qinghe County, knows the military and political affairs of Yishui County, and Wang Lin, the commander of the Qingping Army.
, accept the order!”
Chen Ping was shocked. In this remote Yizhou, an imperial edict was actually issued here.
Chen Ping quickly changed his clothes to greet the angel, and ordered people to quickly invite Wang Lin to return.
Wang Lin was picked up and slipped back before he even entered the house.
He hurriedly returned to the state government office and saw that the eunuch from Huangmen who came to announce the decree was an old acquaintance, Huang Kun, and he knew that something good had happened.
He nodded slightly to Huang Kun, and then he and Chen Ping bowed down together to receive the order.
Huang Kun held his throat and recited Zhao Ji's decree with dignity, and then forwarded the official documents from the Privy Council and the Ministry of War to Wang Lin.
Zhao Ji praised Wang Lin a lot in the imperial edict, let alone nonsense. There are two key points:
First, the Qingping Army was incorporated into the Forbidden Army regulations, with a tentative full strength of 25,000 people, and was renamed Fuhu Army. The military pay was allocated by the three yamen of the capital, and the logistics and equipment were provided by the local government.
Secondly, Wang Lin, the commander of the capital, immediately selected 7,500 elite Xiang troops from Dongping, Jeju, and Qingzhou to join the Fuhu Army. The Fuhu Army was not subject to local control and was directly under the control of the three yamen of the capital, that is, directly
Accepted the leadership of the current Taiwei, Prince Zhao Huan.
Chen Ping gasped when he heard this.
This official father and son really favored Wang Lin, what a favor!
As soon as Wang Lin took office, the emperor's imperial edict followed suit. He actually directly incorporated the Qingping Army under Wang Lin's command into the Forbidden Army, and also gave him the privilege of selecting elite Xiang troops from surrounding states!
From then on, the Fuhu Army was under the direct control of the prince, which meant that Wang Lin had a transcendent status in Yizhou.
Even a fool can see that the emperor wants Wang Lin to train an elite force of forbidden troops locally, for the sole purpose of being used by the royal family!
Chen Ping looked at Wang Lin with eyes filled with complex envy and a hint of fear.
Wang Lin was a little surprised, but more of a surprise.
Zhao Ji was so wise and correct this time!
He knew very well that the military system of the Song Dynasty was dominated by the Forbidden Army, supplemented by the Xiang Army, followed by rural soldiers who did miscellaneous tasks in various places. In other words, the Forbidden Army was the main force, an elite force, and a regular army affiliated with the imperial court. The Xiang Army basically had no combat effectiveness.
A miscellaneous army.
In addition to the part of the Forbidden Army that protects the capital and the safety of the emperor, the Forbidden Army stationed in the area mainly includes the Hebei Forbidden Army, referred to as the Northern Army, and the Northwest Forbidden Army, referred to as the Western Army.
For example, the Western Army was the cradle of famous generals in the Northern Song Dynasty and had a great reputation.
The reason why Wang Lin is happy is not because of his false reputation as the commander of the army. Whether it is the Qingping Army or the Fuhu Army, it is just a name, but moving from the Xiang Army to the Forbidden Army means the upgrade of equipment and logistics support.
This is very important for an army.
Wang Lin accepted the order, stood up and laughed and said: "Eunuch Huang, are you okay?"
Huang Kun also laughed: "Since our Fuhu God General left the capital, the official family has been restless in the palace. They talk about it all day long... Our family also misses Wang Junshi very much. I didn't expect that just a few days later,
Oh my god, the officials have sent us to Yizhou to announce the decree. We have been traveling day and night just to meet with the king’s military envoys earlier.”
"In addition, Emperor Kangfu and the Ninth Prince Gou also asked our family to bring letters to the Wang Jun envoy..."
Chen Ping saw that Wang Lin was so familiar with the eunuchs in the palace, and listened to Huang Kun's words revealing the unusually close relationship between the official family and Wang Lin, so he lowered his head silently.
"Please wait a moment, father-in-law. I will go and arrange a banquet for my father-in-law!" Chen Ping paused and said with a smile.
Huang Kun shook his head, looked at Wang Lin and smiled: "Envoy Wang, when we meet old friends, why don't we go to your house for a drink? In addition, Mr. Chen, our family no longer lives in a post house, but at the residence of Ambassador Wang!"
"
Wang Lin smiled and cupped his hands: "Father-in-law, please!"
Wang Lin, Huang Kun and Huang Kun's escorts left the government office and went directly to Wang's house.
Chen Ping was in a depressed mood as he bid farewell all the way. Mrs. Zhang came out from behind and said, "Sir, this Wang Lin is really not a simple man. Let's not talk about the official family, let's talk about the eunuchs in the palace. He is so familiar..."
Chen Ping sighed: "In the Song Dynasty, we have always been led by civil servants and military generals. There has never been a precedent for military generals to concurrently serve as local officials. This Wang Lin has set a precedent! Judging from the official's intention, I am afraid that they want to support Wang Lin as soon as possible. This
He is also outstanding in martial arts, riding, and shooting. I'm afraid it won't be long before he will rise to great heights and be transferred back to Beijing."
"From now on, Wang Lin is ordered to control the 25,000 Fuhu Army and monitor the local area. Not to mention in Yizhou, he is also a real power in the entire state of Jingdong East Road."
Mrs. Zhang was silent for a moment and then said: "Master, then let's..."
Chen Ping pursed his lips slightly, "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Since Wang Lin is as powerful as a rainbow and unstoppable, why should I be an enemy of him? I can just be friends with him!"
As Chen Ping said this, he suddenly felt that the behavior of the woman next to him was very different from the past. He couldn't help but look at Mrs. Zhang suspiciously, while Mrs. Zhang thought about it and walked away quickly with her head lowered.
…
Wang Lin held a banquet in his mansion to entertain Huang Kun and his party. In the evening, the guests and host left happily.
Seeing Wang Lin ordering someone to hold up a plate of white silver ingots, which looked like hundreds of taels, Huang Kun couldn't help but smile, but pretended to decline and said: "Envoy Wang, I don't dare to accept this! I'll accept it."
Shame on you!"
Wang Lin chuckled: "Eunuch Huang, we have known each other for a long time, why are we so out of touch today? I am training troops for the officials outside the capital, and there are few things going on in the capital. I have to trouble my father-in-law to send me a message occasionally.
When you come out, you can use the money to buy some food and wine for your father-in-law to eat on the way!"
Anyway, this was not the first time that Wang Lin's money had been taken back, so Huang Kun stopped being pretentious and ordered people to take it.
Wang Lin personally sent Huang Kun to the guest room and treated him with utmost courtesy.
After Wang Lin left, Huang Kunxin said, this Wang Lin is really a person, with a decisive and ruthless style, and a well-rounded and well-mannered person. I thought that he would get carried away after becoming an official and living outside the capital, but in the end he did not forget his roots.
Your attitude towards yourself says everything.
Pan Jinlian and other girls actually didn't quite understand why Wang Lin valued an insignificant little eunuch so much.
Li Shishi said: "Mr. Lang, it's just a small yellow gate in the palace. Why do you need to accompany me personally and give me so much money?"
Wang Lin chuckled, "A little money is nothing to us. Don't underestimate small people like Huang Kun. At critical moments, small people can also play a big role... Of course, maybe I will never need it."
He, but once used, it will be a surprise force that no one can imagine!"
Really? Master Li didn't think so.
At this time, Li Yun hurriedly came to report: "Sir, there are three young men from Xiangzhou asking to see you, saying that they are your students!"
Yue Fei is here!
Wang Lin was overjoyed and ran out all the way.
Pan Jinlian and Master Li looked at each other in confusion: Who could make our husband so excited when he comes to visit late at night?
