Chapter 79: 1 Ming Dynasty test question
Chapter 79 A Ming Dynasty Civil Service Examination Question
Obviously, the person in charge had never experienced such a situation.
Seeing that no one said anything, I felt a little unconfident.
He glanced at the document again and lowered his voice, "Song Tie?"
Pei Yuan gently pushed Song Chunniang, and Song Chunniang stood out with a confused look on her face.
The man was a little annoyed, but seeing that it was a woman, he didn't say much.
The Zhenxie Qianhu Unit is a group of Nanjing Jinyiwei's own people, and they are accustomed to this kind of thing that accommodates all kinds of people.
The Experience Department was in charge of the secret documents of the Nanjing Jinyiwei, and would even occasionally see small files of the foreigners and Japanese.
The manager said to Song Chunniang, "You are a woman, so I need to create an internal file for you. What is your real name and where is your hometown?"
Song Chunniang became more and more confused.
Pei Yuan knew that this internal file was to protect some people in Jinyiwei. Many people in Jinyiwei were spies and had to live under another identity most of the time, which could easily lead to an identity crisis.
For example, if Song Chunniang had been acting officially as Song Tie, then once this false identity was exposed, nothing would be able to guarantee her interests.
Therefore, it is necessary to use internal files to prove that this woman named Song Chunniang was indeed the chief flag officer of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
This is a matter that concerns the interests of a considerable number of people within the Jinyiwei, and no one dares to do anything about it.
Pei Yuan gave Song Chunniang a general explanation, and Song Chunniang felt the same sense of security as last night again.
Looking at the three words "Song Chunniang" written on paper, she now truly accepted her new identity.
Song Chunniang's hometown is Shandong, and coincidentally, she is also from a military family.
The management of military households in the Ming Dynasty was very strict in the early years.
Zhu Yuanzhang issued a strict decree in the 22nd year of the Hongwu reign. If any officer or soldier in Beijing learned to sing, his tongue would be cut off. If any officer or soldier played chess or backgammon, his hands would be cut off. If any soldier played cuyuan, his feet would be cut off. If any soldier engaged in business, he would be sent to the remote frontier as a soldier.
According to the "Kezuo Zhuiyu", Fu Yong, the commander of Longjiang Guard, and Yao Yanbao, a small flagman of the guard, played kicking football, and their right feet were removed, and their whole family was sent to Yunnan.
So the question is, if there was a remarkable man from a military family, and in the 23rd year of Hongwu, he ran in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, sang, danced rap and played basketball, how do you think he should be sentenced?
Later, because the military household system was corrupt, it had become a forbidden zone that could not be touched. Therefore, many wanderers used the military household identity as a cover, so that even if they committed a crime, there was no way to investigate and no one dared to investigate.
Song Chun's mother's family is actually a military household.
Three generations ago, her family had their land seized and they were driven out of the military settlement. However, her entire family was still serving in Dengzhou Wei on paper, and she even had an older brother who didn't exist at all.
Wait until Song Chunniang completed the file and received the things.
The officer of the Experience Department said to Pei Yuan, "Captain Pei, your file is not accepted by any other officer now, so it can only be kept in the Experience Department. However, the file of the flag commander Chen Toutie has been filed by Captain Han."
Chen Toutie, who was standing below, was overjoyed when he heard this.
There is so much money to be made in the Zhenxie Qianhu Office. Even if I am sent to guard a temple in the future, it is better than eating cold rice in the Beizhenfu Division.
Originally, he was worried that Pei Yuan’s organizational relationship could not be established, and he would be in trouble too. Unexpectedly, Captain Han had already taken him into the Captain’s Office.
Chen Toutie wanted to laugh, but seeing Pei Yuan's ugly face, he had to suppress it.
Pei Yuanze was extremely depressed.
The three general flags under him are now all members of the evil-suppressing thousand-household unit, so his own position is vacant, and he is like a temporary worker. After completing the formalities for Song Chunniang, they all left the Jinyiwei Yamen together.
Cheng Lei was very excited and was planning to treat everyone to a meal to congratulate his new colleague, Song Chunniang.
Pei Yuan hesitated for a moment and said to the three people, "Let's talk about it after we get to Suzhou. We have received the mission, so we can't slack off. We don't know how many eyes are watching us now."
According to the original plan, Pei Yuan should have led his troops directly to Suzhou Prefecture, and the two centurions, Tan Tai Fangtu and Si Kong Sui, should have accompanied him to protect his safety.
However, the emperor's order to pray for rain disrupted the pace of action here.
Pei Yuan had never met Sikong Sui, but Tan Tai Fang Tu left a very bad impression on him.
Without Captain Han to keep him in check, if Pei Yuan went to the door on his own, there would probably be a lot of excuses and wrangling.
Now Pei Yuan, the captain of a thousand households, has only three chief flag officers under him, and these three chief flag officers are currently commanders without troops.
It can be said that Pei Yuan’s influence within the Qianhu Suo is almost non-existent.
It is not a wise choice for him to go head-on with an old man like Tan Tai Fang Tu now.
Pei Yuan still remembered what Han Qianhu said, she didn't like stupid people.
Even if Pei Yuan was determined to fight with Tan Tai Fangtu, it would be better to go to Suzhou Prefecture, an away game, instead of fighting in Yingtian Prefecture, the opponent's home game.
Cheng Leixiang and Chen Toutie naturally followed Pei Yuan's orders without any objection, but Song Chunniang kept looking at the official uniform she had just received, seeming a little absent-minded.
Pei Yuan was naturally very tactful, so he changed the topic and said, "It's almost noon, let's have a simple meal first. It's a good opportunity for General Song to find a clothing store to have his official uniform altered. It may come in handy someday."
Song Chunniang was going on a mission, and she was given the most important things, including a waist badge, an embroidered spring sword, a set of brocade official uniform of the general flag, a set of blue cotton armor, and a set of cover armor.
In essence, the Jinyiwei were soldiers, and wearing armor was their formal attire.
It’s just that the Jinyi Guards, as the emperor’s personal soldiers, have a benefit that other guards cannot enjoy, namely, wearing brocade official robes.
This brocade official robe is not the legendary Feiyu robe. In fact, the Feiyu robe is quite expensive. Even Zhang Rong, the commander of the Brocade Guard, rarely wears it unless he is attending court.
Because although this thing looks very stylish and beautiful when worn, the more beautiful the silk is, the easier it is to change color, so it has a higher cost of showing off.
It is understandable that Song Chunniang had just received her official uniform and had an urgent need to show off.
If you want to find a good place with food, drinks and clothing stores, you naturally have to go to Changganli, the most prosperous area in Nanjing.
They first looked for a slightly larger clothing store, and then found a restaurant nearby.
Pei Yuan, Cheng Leixiang and Chen Toutie ordered some food and ate while waiting. Song Chunniang didn't even have time to eat something to fill her stomach. She happily went to the clothing shop with a big bag of clothes.
Pei Yuan was thinking about going to Suzhou Prefecture, and was absent-mindedly pondering how to deal with Prefect Zhai.
After a while, Cheng Leixiang kicked him quietly.
Pei Yuan looked up and saw Cheng Leixiang eating peanuts.
Pei Yuan immediately looked around and saw Song Chunniang popping her head out, hesitant to speak. She then beckoned him with her finger, "Come."
