The Soldier of the Red Mansion

Chapter 35 A rare opportunity to lie flat

His position was promoted from Zuoji to Dusi, which meant that Lin Ruhai's arrangement had been completed and the Ministry of War of Yingtian Prefecture had been officially promoted, but it had not yet been passed on to him.

Once the official documents from Yingtian Prefecture are delivered to the imperial court in Beijing and registered at the Ministry of War in Beijing, he can report to the Ministry of War. According to convention, a guest soldier will be promoted one level after three years of service in Beijing, and the title of guerrilla general will be within his reach.

That's the benefit of having someone above you.

Wang Xin couldn't help but sigh.

Every step is on point. A year ago, I was a captain, now I am a commander, and in three years I will be a guerrilla general. The hurdle that others cannot cross in their lifetime is as common to me as drinking water.

However, there is only one more spot for the Domination.

Originally there were two, because after Tang Ping and He Kuan were promoted to loyal, they were each rewarded with one extra reward, so there were four in total. The two reward quotas were bound to Liu Tong, Li Qi and others respectively. Although they were also loyal, they did not receive any extra rewards.

If I guessed correctly, after the character bound to the basic reward reaches loyalty, he can get an extra reward. For example, if there are two basic rewards, it can become four at most.

So now the basic reward is three, and the maximum you can rule is six.

However, during this period, the final release of Li Qi and Liao Rong has put the two vacant ruling spots into cooling down, and it will take a few days to rebind them, so it is not possible to try at the moment.

As for the original Wang family army, it no longer exists because it has been disbanded.

Theoretically, he should not have an army under his name.

However, the troops led or influenced by Tang Ping, He Kuan and Liu Tong can still display information in his hands, including Li Qi and Liao Rong, who are no longer considered his subordinates, but can still be bound.

Either because they are loyal, the system can see the troops they lead or influence and display the information, or because they were once their subordinates, so even if they are not now, they can still be seen.

The status of the troops they lead is relatively easy to understand.

For example, Liu Tong.

It must be Luo Ming who asked Liu Tong to train a group of Zhejiang soldiers.

Army morale +10.

The morale is a bit low.

As for the army's attitude towards him, they began to accept him, which should be due to Liu Tong.

Just like the soldiers on the Lianghuai Salt Road.

The army's morale is surprisingly +45, and their attitude towards themselves is also enthusiastic.

The militiamen on the Salt Road are not simple. Most of them are old foxes. The reason why they are so high must be because of He Kuan, Li Qi brought by He Kuan, and hundreds of soldiers from the Wang family army.

They affected the surrounding salt road militia, or rather, spread it out.

After all, He Kuan, Li Qi and others are loyal to him, and hundreds of Wang's army are also loyal. Now they have become enthusiastic. It's not that their attitude towards him has changed, but because there are too many newcomers, so the average condition has declined.

The original soldiers of Wang's army on Yangzhong Island remained unchanged.

He must have retained a certain military style, as he was actually judged by the system as a garrison soldier, and he remained more than loyal to his status.

"That's not bad."

Wang Xin's mood improved a lot because of the dissatisfaction of the servants in the Jia family, but with the good news brought by the system, he felt much better.

I am not an ambitious person.

If you live a good life and the people live a peaceful life, then everyone will be happy, and that is the real good.

Wang Xin felt that the kind of evil taste that delighted in seeing the common people living in misery and feeling superior, which gave rise to a sense of satisfaction, was outrageous. He did not have such a special hobby.

I prefer prosperous times.

Everyone is having a great time, and I am living my own happy life in harmony.

So Wang Xin is very satisfied with his current situation.

There wasn't much pressure. With the system in hand, I wasn't afraid of being betrayed by villains. Everyone around me was loyal and righteous, and with my own vision and a relatively familiar background, there were indeed many opportunities to seize.

Become the head of a military region.

Surrounded by a group of loyal subordinates.

Holding a three-foot sword, maintaining peace in one area, safeguarding a prosperous era, lying drunkenly on the lap of a beauty, dreaming of a prosperous era, living in drunkenness and dreams without wasting one's youth, isn't it a joy? It is the greatest joy in the world.

Wang Xin is very satisfied with the current pace of life.

Isn't that what a happy life is all about?

Much better than before.

Not long after, the group entered the city, and Wang Xin also looked around the capital carefully.

The prosperity of the streets and the large population are different from other places, and there is also a big difference from Jiangnan. The streets in the capital are more grand and have a sense of no regard for cost. Jiangnan is also extremely rich, but every place in the city is fully utilized and there is no waste.

After walking for half a day, when he reached the north side of the street, Wang Xin saw two stone lions and three gates with animal heads.

There were about ten people in gorgeous clothes and hats sitting in front of the gate. The main gate was not open, and people were only entering and exiting the east and west corner gates. There was a plaque above the main gate with five large characters "Edicted Ningguo Mansion" written on it.

"arrive."

Wang Xin understood.

Going west again, not far away, we arrived at Rongguo Mansion, which also had three gates. However, we did not enter the main gate, but only went through the west corner gate.

"Master Xin, Miss Lin went to the inner palace. The master is away on official business, and he has already instructed us to prepare a room for you. It has beautiful mountains and rivers. You will see it when you arrive, and you will definitely be satisfied."

Zhou Rui caught up and said beside the carriage.

Wang Xin saw with his own eyes the sedan chair entering the Jia Mansion. He felt that his mission was accomplished and he could go anywhere in the capital. If the Jia Mansion did not do well, he could just leave, so he agreed readily.

The sedan chair went north to the West Street Gate and then east to the water diversion river. Unlike the quiet main street, the back street was full of bustle and children were playing.

When they arrived at the back door, Zhou Rui took Wang Xin in. After entering, they walked to the left and then to the back garden door. Before entering the door, they heard the laughter and singing of girls in the yard next door.

"These are the twelve opera singers we keep in the mansion. Each of them has unique skills."

Zhou Rui said proudly.

Wang Xin was also full of admiration. It was indeed not a random purchase, but the Jia family sent people to Jiangnan to select them. It was equivalent to selecting twelve women who had just debuted and had certain beauty and talent.

To be honest, no wonder everyone envies Baoyu.

I have to envy myself.

It is often said that one should return home rich and powerful, but for Jia Baoyu, this is already the end of other people's lives. To continue to struggle would be to endure hardships without any progress, and there would not be much room for improvement.

As for the future decline of the Jia family.

That really has nothing to do with Jia Baoyu.

The relationship between the retired emperor and the emperor is so complicated. How many generals died because of being involved in the suppression of the Japanese pirates in the southeast. This depends on luck. If you are lucky and stand on the right side, you can continue to lie down. If you are unlucky and stand on the wrong side, you will not have a good ending even if you work hard to the point of vomiting blood.

Compared with the endings of the eldest house of Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion, where there were all kinds of collusion and extramarital affairs, and a playboy like Jia Lian had to run around all over the place, the choice of the second house was actually the right one.

Wang Xin just wanted to lie down and relax for a while.

I kept seeing the Tuobi Villa provided by the Jia family.

It’s really beautiful mountains, rivers and scenery.

It's really a good place to lie down.
