That night, the two generals who had just been promoted to commander came to Shen's house for dinner as promised. After breakfast, Shen Yi invited them to his study to discuss the next plan.
Mr. Shen was sitting on the main seat. After seeing his two subordinates sit down, he coughed and slowly said: "You two, you two can be directly promoted to commanders by His Majesty from thousands of households." Well, of course I don’t need to explain the reasons for this, but there are some things I still want to make clear to you two in advance.”
Mr. Shen reached out and knocked on the table and said: "Your Majesty does not have much time left to fight against the Japanese troops. By the end of the 10th year of Hong De next year, the Japanese pirates in the offshore must be cleaned up, and all the trade routes in the ports must be opened up."
Mr. Shen looked calm: "Do you two think it can be done?"
Xue Wei lowered his head slightly and said nothing, while Ling Su lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "Sir, among the coastal provinces of Dachen, the number of Japanese pirates along the eastern Zhejiang coast is the largest and most rampant. Nowadays, , the anti-Japanese army, under your command, has wiped out the Japanese pirates in eastern Zhejiang, I believe it is only a matter of time before the remaining provinces are left."
Hearing what Ling Su said, Shen Yi rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "What's the difference whether you said it or not?"
Install the latest version. 】
Ling Su smiled awkwardly, then lowered his head slightly and said, "Sir, I don't have detailed information about Japanese pirates in other provinces. Naturally, I won't be able to come up with any ideas for a while."
"Um…"
Shen Yi nodded slightly, and then said: "There is some truth in what he said. If so, I will inform Di Newspaper Division and ask Di Newspaper Division to send the general situation of Japanese pirates along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong to the two of you. You two will do more research. Research and try to get a charter out before we return to Yueqing."
Having said this, Mr. Shen glanced at the two people, and then continued: "One and a half years is not too long. If by the end of next year, the promise we made in front of His Majesty has not been fulfilled, it will not only be I can't do this on my own, and I'm afraid you two can't help your majesty for promoting you out of the ordinary, right?"
"yes!"
The two people stood up and saluted Shen Yi with clasped fists: "Subordinates, please obey your orders!"
"Um."
Shen Yi glanced at the two people again, and after being silent for a while, asked: "When are you two planning to leave back to Yueqing? Have you thought about it?"
This time, Xue Wei finally spoke. He bowed his head to Shen Yi and said: "Sir, my subordinates have discussed with Ling... Ling Shuai, and will leave Jiankang and rush back to Yueqing early tomorrow morning..."
Halfway through his words, he felt Ling Su tugging on his sleeve. Xue Wei looked back with some confusion, only to see Ling Su lowering his head in embarrassment and said: "Sir, our brothers are planning to go back early, but you There is no need to go back with us, you can stay in Jiankang for a while to accompany your wife and young master."
Hearing Ling Su's words, Xue Wei's face turned dark.
Have you said all the flattering things about co-authoring? !
However, he was angry, but he did not refute. He just lowered his head and said, "Yes, you can stay in Jiankang for a few more days. The two of us will go back to Yueqing first and handle some daily chores for you..."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly. He glanced at the two people and said calmly: "This time, the three of us were promoted to the first rank by the imperial court because of our contribution to the suppression of Japanese pirates on Beiji Island. However, the imperial court's reward cannot be reached. That’s it for you and me.”
Mr. Shen continued: "Your Majesty has clearly given instructions that after I return to Yueqing, I will replenish the establishment of the anti-Japanese army. In other words, the five thousand households under your command, and the fifty A detailed list of hundreds of households or a trial of one hundred households must be compiled and submitted to the court and the Ministry of War.”
Shen Yi glanced at the two people and asked, "Can you two handle this errand?"
Even if Ling and Xue had no vision, they would not dare to compete with Shen Yi, the small boss, for this great power to decide the personnel deployment of the local army, so the two of them shook their heads.
"That's it. I have to go back to Yueqing to deal with these."
Mr. Shen lowered his head and thought for a moment, then reached out and knocked on the table and said, "I'm in Jiankang, and I still have some things to do, but I won't delay you for too long, so that's all..."
"Three days later, that is, the day after tomorrow, let's gather at the South City Gate and set off back to Yueqing. How about that?"
The two people clasped their fists respectfully: "Yes, I obey."
Mr. Shen stood up and stretched: "Don't be idle these days. In addition to combat missions, you can think about the selection and arrangement of your generals."
Shen Yi looked at Ling Su and then at Xue Wei. After pondering for a while, he said: "Originally, Commander Ling was promoted to full commander. The selection of general officers should mainly refer to Commander Ling Wei's opinion, but this time we have to consider There are too many positions, and some generals were also led by Xue Wei, so that’s it…”
Master Shen pointed at Ling Su and coughed: "Shuai Ling will draw up 60% of the list, that is, three thousand households to test the thousand households, thirty hundred households to try the hundred households, report to me, and the remaining two There are twenty thousand households and twenty hundred households, so it’s up to you, Deputy Commander Xue, to recommend them.”
Hearing Shen Yi change his name to himself, both Ling Su and Xue Wei felt uncomfortable. Xue Wei even scratched his head in embarrassment: "Sir, you just call me Xue Wei. I'm working at home. Otherwise, you can just call me Xue Er, I am not so handsome..."
"My subordinates felt very uncomfortable hearing this."
Ling Su coughed and was about to respond when he heard Master Shen say indifferently: "It doesn't matter between the three of us whether we call each other by name or not, but we still have to pay attention to the outside world. You two are already members of the imperial court." The appointed commander and deputy commander must maintain a certain dignity in front of outsiders, especially subordinates, so that they can lead the army well."
After saying this, Mr. Shen looked up at the sky outside and saw that it was completely dark. He yawned and said, "Okay, it's getting late today. Both of you are Let’s go back and rest first.”
Shen Yi coughed and said sternly: "Remember, after you go back, think about the list of generals I mentioned. It is impossible for me to review all the generals by myself. Most of the opinions reported to the Ministry of War will be the opinions of the two of you."
"Be responsible for yourself."
Shen Yi said solemnly: "You must also be responsible to the court."
The two people immediately bowed their heads and said yes, then stood up and said goodbye to Shen Yi with fists in his hands.
In this way, Shen Yi personally delivered the two subordinates to the door of his house. After watching the two people disappear into the night, the faint voice of his wife came from behind him: "I don't know, I thought you were going to tell them until dawn." Woolen cloth."
Shen Yi turned around and saw that Lu Ruoxi had a coat in her hand and was about to put it on herself. Shen Yi smiled, stepped forward and grabbed the lady's sleeve, and said with a smile: "I just have some official matters to explain, I don't know. I think it took a little longer."
Lu Ruoxi looked at Shen Yi and asked, "When are you sure you are leaving?"
Shen Yi put his arm around his wife's waist and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about these spoilers. I saw a very interesting picture in a miscellaneous book yesterday. Let's go back to the room and I will study it with my wife."
"What picture?"
After Lu Ruoxi said this, she suddenly reacted. She said "Yeah" and her face immediately turned red.
"You hate..."
Mr. Shen chuckled, picked up his wife by the waist, and went back to the room to study Chinese classics...
