#110 - Is the Imperial Guard also considered a sect?
京师 。
Southern Garrison Camp.
Liang Jin and a group of his comrades finished their day of duty at the palace and finally returned to their camp, ready to rest well.
As he lay on his bed, Liang Jin stared at his system panel.
[Daily Sect Quest Completed: 1]
[Available Intelligence: 1]
[Intelligence 1: Consort Li secretly buried a wooden doll in the flowerbed at the southeast corner of Changchun Palace one quarter of an hour ago.]
All the characteristics of the clones can be used by the main body.
Liang Jin originally thought that since his main body had not joined a sect, he probably wouldn't be able to use the [Daily Intelligence] feature for the time being.
But now, looking at the information on the intelligence panel, he was a little surprised.
Logically speaking, he had not joined a sect, nor had he completed any sect quests.
This intelligence panel shouldn't be displaying anything.
"Could it be… that the system also recognizes the Imperial Guards as a sect?"
"I completed the Imperial Guards' daily guard duty, which is equivalent to completing a sect quest?"
Liang Jin felt that this possibility was extremely high.
In addition to this, he also discovered another characteristic of [Daily Intelligence].
That is, the source of the intelligence is generally near the user.
After all, Liang Jin's main body lives between the palace and the Imperial Guard camp, so the intelligence displayed today is information from the palace.
And Liang Jin's clone on Dragon Transformation Island in the East Sea obtains intelligence about Dragon Transformation Island and the sea.
As for how far this "nearby" range is, it is unknown.
Liang Jin is certain that this range must be very wide!
After all, the clone on Dragon Transformation Island can actually obtain intelligence about merchant ships sinking far away.
The merchant ship encountered a storm and sank, but Dragon Transformation Island was clear and cloudless, indicating that the distance between the two was too far.
It would not be an exaggeration to say it was thousands of miles away.
But Liang Jin also suspected another point.
That is, perhaps the range displayed by the intelligence panel is not necessarily based on the source of the intelligence.
But based on the range of effect of the intelligence.
For example, the main place where the shipwreck intelligence has an effect will be Dongzhou.
And Dongzhou is only a few hundred miles away from Dragon Transformation Island.
In this way, the range will be much smaller.
But Liang Jin can only determine the specific situation by using and observing more.
"I, Lao Wu, am untalented, but I have finally successfully broken through to the eighth rank!"
"And I have also been valued by my superiors and become a Banner Captain!"
"I will be transferred today. When everyone is on vacation in two days, I will invite you brothers to Zuixian Tower for a good meal and drink!"
During this period, Wu Huan had been moving around and making arrangements, and everyone had guessed that he was probably going to be promoted.
The only difference was whether he would be promoted to Banner Captain or Vice Banner Captain.
Now that Wu Huan has successfully been promoted to Banner Captain, rising two ranks in a row, it is a good result.
Immediately, a group of soldiers congratulated him:
"Congratulations, Head Wu, on your promotion! This is the biggest happy event in our camp!"
"Head Wu is promoted, how can we let Head Wu spend money? We brothers should pool money to feast Head Wu and celebrate for Head Wu!"
"Head Wu, after you become a Banner Captain, we brothers will also have face!"
… …
The soldiers' congratulations were endless.
But they were expecting one thing in their hearts.
That is, now that Wu Huan has been promoted, who will be the head of this camp?
The next second, Wu Huan gave the answer:
"Wang Quan, from now on, you will be the head of this camp."
"Qian San, from now on, you will cooperate with Wang Quan's work and serve as the deputy head of the camp."
"You two prepare and come with me. We will go to meet the superiors and report."
Wang Quan jumped up excitedly, hurriedly getting up without even taking off half of his armor.
Qian San also hurriedly got up, tidying up his appearance.
The soldiers were not surprised by this result.
It is normal for Wang Quan, the deputy, to take over when the head of the camp is transferred.
Qian San is also one of the most senior people in the camp, and it is reasonable for him to be the deputy head of the camp.
But then, Wu Huan's words surprised everyone:
"Brothers, I, Lao Wu, am about to leave for my new post."
"But I also want to say the ugly things first. Although I am leaving, my brother Lao Liang is still here."
"From now on, in this camp, whoever dares to be against my brother Lao Liang is against me, Lao Wu!"
"In the end, whoever suffers, I don't need to say more, right!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Liang Jin in confusion.
This kid, hasn't he always been at odds with Wu Huan?
Especially Wang Quan, he was so surprised that his mouth was wide open, almost able to fit a fist in it.
He had been helping Wu Huan to deal with Liang Jin a while ago, how could Liang Jin become Wu Huan's brother Lao Liang in a blink of an eye?
Wu Huan walked over and knocked Wang Quan hard on the head:
"Why are you so surprised?"
"I was originally going to recommend Brother Liang for your position as head of the camp."
"It was Brother Liang who has been modest and gave it to you, so you have the opportunity to get it."
"Understood?"
Hearing this, Wang Quan couldn't help but be stunned.
Afterwards, he quickly put on a smiling face and cupped his hands at Liang Jin:
"Brother Liang Jin, I was blind and offended you a lot before."
"I didn't expect Brother Liang Jin to be so generous. I, Wang Quan, really admire you!"
Saying that, Wang Quan patted his chest at Wu Huan and guaranteed:
"Head Wu… Oh no no no, it's Banner Captain Wu, rest assured!"
"From now on, Liang Jin is my own brother. Whoever dares to be against him, I, Wang Quan, will be the first to disagree!"
Wu Huan nodded in satisfaction.
Afterwards, he looked at Liang Jin and nodded slightly.
This is also Wu Huan's way of repaying Liang Jin for the time being.
After that, Wu Huan took Wang Quan and Qian San to see the superiors to report.
Liang Jin smiled helplessly.
This Wu Huan is really considerate.
And the soldiers in the tent were also enthusiastically discussing this matter.
Wu Huan had left from this very camp. He was promoted to Qizong, and needless to say, he would take extra care of this camp in the future.
Good days for everyone were coming soon.
Later in the evening.
Wu Huan returned to the camp with Wang Quan and Qian San.
The three of them looked pleased, obviously the report went very smoothly.
The latest novels are available at 69shuba!
At the same time, surprisingly, Wu Huan also brought a newcomer.
He introduced to everyone:
"Brothers, Old Wu is about to be transferred, so the higher-ups have arranged a newcomer for our camp."
"This brother, Xue Feng, will be living in the same tent as everyone from now on. Let's all welcome him!"
Everyone looked over upon hearing this.
Standing next to Wu Huan was a young man who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.
He had fair skin and delicate features, and didn't look much like a soldier, more like a young master from a wealthy family.
"Come, come! Xue Feng, you can sleep in my bed from now on."
Wu Huan warmly greeted Xue Feng to his bedside.
It could be said that Wu Huan's bed was naturally the best location in this tent.
But Xue Feng frowned.
Especially the various odors emanating from the rough soldiers in the tent rushed into Xue Feng's nose, and he actually took out a handkerchief from his arms to cover his nose.
He glanced at Wu Huan's bed and said with even more disgust:
"How can anyone sleep here?"
"I'll have someone send a new bed over in a while, and set up an incense burner."
"Wu-tou, take the brothers to take a good bath, and throw away all these smelly bedding and clothes, and replace them with new ones."
"Don't worry, I'll pay for it."
This Xue Feng did not hide his disgust for everything in this camp.
It could be seen that he used to live a pampered life.
To this, everyone was not too surprised.
There were many such people in the Imperial Guards.
Many children of aristocratic families, if they were not good at literature, but passable in martial arts, would be stuffed into the Imperial Guards.
These people generally would not be soldiers for too long, most of them would be gilded and then quickly occupy the middle and lower-level military officer positions in the Imperial Guards, becoming the backbone of the Imperial Guards.
As for most ordinary soldiers, there was no chance of promotion.
Under normal circumstances, the ordinary soldiers of the Imperial Guards were composed of elites drawn from various armies.
In the early days of the Great Qian, this was indeed the case.
At that time, the Imperial Guards also had the strongest combat effectiveness.
But now that the Great Qian already has the appearance of national demise, leading to various chaotic phenomena.
The source of soldiers for the Imperial Guards has also become complicated, and all kinds of people have the opportunity to stuff people into the Imperial Guards.
As for the situation of deduction and embezzlement of salaries, it has been repeatedly prohibited but not stopped.
Liang Jin was not too surprised by this.
In his previous life, historical books once recorded: "Emperor Yi Zu pacified the world and recruited all the ruffians and scoundrels from all over the world to be soldiers."
It is said that the Northern Song Dynasty was known as the 800,000 Imperial Guards, but most of the soldiers were actually hooligans and ruffians from the bottom of society.
These Imperial Guards not only had no combat effectiveness, but also had lax military discipline and engaged in rampant corruption.
Even during the Tang Dynasty, the source of soldiers for the Imperial Guards was also closely linked to local ruffians.
The book records: "The evil youths in the streets of the capital all have disheveled hair and dark skin, and are prepared with various objects and shapes. Relying on the various armies, they clenched their fists and robbed them by force, even to the point of using snakes to gather in taverns and catching sheep to attack people."
This means that the local ruffians and hooligans in the capital, relying on the power of the Imperial Guards, acted recklessly and oppressed the people.
Especially at that time, a major event occurred.
The Tang Dynasty emperor summoned a group of ministers, under the pretext of watching the dew, wanting to kill the eunuchs.
As a result, the eunuchs were enraged, took the Imperial Guards and arrested the emperor, imprisoned and insulted him, and then let the Imperial Guards kill the group of ministers cleanly.
When the Imperial Guards rioted in the imperial city, the local ruffians and hooligans in the capital also took the opportunity to avenge their personal grudges. They killed people at will, plundered the property of merchants and people, causing dust to rise and the sky to be covered.
Why are the local ruffians and hooligans in the capital the most difficult to cure?
Because once these local ruffians and hooligans are hunted down by the government, they will choose to join the Imperial Guard barracks, not only making the pursuit difficult, but also bringing bad habits to the Imperial Guards, leading to low loyalty of the Imperial Guards.
The Tang Dynasty also became a dynasty with frequent palace coups. The Imperial Guards had extremely low loyalty to the emperor. At critical moments, they not only did not stand on the emperor's side, but instead joined the powerful ministers to force the palace.
Now the deterioration of the Imperial Guards of the Great Qian is becoming increasingly serious, and the selection of soldiers is no longer strict.
Liang Jin, an orphan with no parents, has been waiting in the Imperial Guards without anyone paying attention.
At this time.
Wu Huan smiled happily:
"Okay!"
"Brother Xue is so generous, of course we have no objections."
"Brothers, have you all heard? Get up quickly and go take a bath."
"Remember, don't forget Brother Xue's kindness."
It could be seen that he treated this Xue Feng with a bit of flattery.
This made the soldiers curious.
Wu Huan's background was not bad, he was also from a military officer's family, so he was able to be promoted smoothly.
But now it seems that this newcomer Xue Feng's background is probably much bigger than Wu Huan's.
So much so that Wu Huan, as a Qizong, had to treat this new soldier with courtesy.
But the soldiers also knew that this Xue Feng would not live with them for long.
This kind of young master from a noble family cannot be a soldier all the time.
In a few days, the higher-ups will arrange an easy task for him, let him make a contribution, and exaggerate his contribution when reporting.
After the gilding is completed, he will be promoted smoothly.
Once Xue Feng is promoted, it will be difficult for everyone to see him again.
So now everyone is naturally happy to enjoy the benefits he brings.
