The layout and arrangement of the coastal capitals had been finalized before Shen Yi said a few words.
This may seem like child's play, but it's true.
As long as Li Mu does not compete with Shen Yi for power, Mr. Shen is now in the Anti-Japanese Army or the future Coastal Capital Division, which means that he has a unique existence.
You know, not to mention Ling Su and Xue Wei, even those thousands of households, most of them were recruited by Shen Yi personally into the anti-Japanese army. The reason why the anti-Japanese army has been so smooth in the past two years is because Shen Yi, a "scholar", protected them from wind and rain and blocked almost all the pressure from the court.
Therefore, Shen Yi's status in this army is quite transcendent.
All joking aside, Master Shen is now setting up a flag to rebel in Yueqing. Most of the 5,000-strong army will be willing to follow him. Although it is unlikely that they will reach Jiankang City and seize the emperor's throne, going to sea will It is almost not difficult to grab an island and become a leader.
As for how to establish the Coastal Division and future personnel appointments, he basically has the final say alone.
After explaining business with his two subordinates, Shen Yi felt a little tired after a long journey. He stood up, stretched, and smiled at Ling Su: "General Ling, I've been traveling for too long. I'm a little tired now, and the brothers obviously haven't had enough fun drinking, so you're in charge of the situation here, I'm going to rest first."
Ling Su stood up, clasped his fists and said, "I'll see Mr. Shen off."
"No need."
Shen Yi smiled and said: "You just drink here, I won't disturb you anymore."
After that, he yawned and left the banquet, and went back to the bedroom to sleep.
All the generals stood up to see each other off.
After Shen Yi left, the generals present relaxed and the sound of drinking and punching became much louder.
For them, although Shen Yi, the big leader, is usually very gentle, it is still enough to make them feel afraid from the bottom of their hearts, because this young scholar actually dominates the destiny of all of them.
After Ling Su and Xue Wei sent Shen Yi away, Ling Su pulled Xue Wei back to the wine table. He reached out and poured a glass of wine for Xue Wei, and then poured another glass of wine for himself. He toasted and smiled. Said: "Brother, the credit for the suppression of Japanese invaders in Guangdong will fall into your pocket. As a brother, I propose a toast to you and treat it as congratulations in advance."
At this time, the other five thousand households had gone to drink with the hundreds of households under their respective command. Only Ling Xue was left at the wine table.
Xue Wei had a good drinker, so he immediately had a glass of wine with him, and then shook his head slightly and said: "Brother praises me for killing me. My ability is low, and it's only thanks to Mr. Shen that I am able to sit in this position. In terms of fighting ability, I am far inferior to him." Brother’s.”
Both of them were from Linhai Guards, and Xue Wei was previously Ling Su's subordinate. Although the two of them were not familiar with each other before he surrendered to the Japanese army, they had been fighting against the Japanese for two years. During these two years, The two have been in a cooperative relationship most of the time, so they treat each other as brothers in private.
But only the two of them know whether this brother is a real brother or not.
When Xue Wei said this, he lowered his head and sighed: "The last time the Japanese were suppressed in Fujian, it was like this. I suffered such a big loss. Even now thinking about it, I still feel a little sleepless."
Ling Su patted Xue Wei on the shoulder.
"Victory and defeat are common things for a soldier. Of course, you must remember a defeat, but you can't hold it in your heart. Otherwise, you will be timid the next time you fight."
Xue Wei nodded.
"Thank you for your teaching, brother."
Ling Su drank a few more glasses of wine with Xue Wei, and then asked with a smile: "Mr. Shen just said that you would lead three thousand-household camps southward, brother. In addition to the two thousand-household camps under your command, I don't know what other brothers are there?" Which Qianhu camp should we lead south?"
"You say it now, and my brother will greet you and let them prepare to go south."
There is something special about this.
Xue Wei will take three thousand-household battalions south to Fuzhou, but will leave one thousand-household battalion stationed in Fuzhou...
Although Shen Yi did not say it explicitly, everyone can understand that the Qianhu Camp staying in Fuzhou will establish the Fuzhou Guard in Fuzhou, which is a guard station directly under the coastal capital's Yamen.
After the coastal capital is completely completed, as expected, Ling Su and Xue Wei will be dispatched to two of the five guard posts as commanders.
And Ling Su definitely wanted to be the commander of the Fuzhou Guard.
After all, it is closer to the superior's Yamen, and I can also do some things for the superior's Yamen on weekdays. Although it is not as free as being stationed locally, but...
There's plenty of room for advancement.
If it were a traditional military attache yamen, it would be extremely difficult for Ling Su to advance in seniority. However, the Dusi Yamen has not yet begun to be established and is still an empty shell. Lingsu still has a very good chance of entering the Dusi Yamen.
Within five years, if he can be both knowledgeable and knowledgeable, he will have the opportunity to be handsome in the future!
Xue Wei didn't think too much, mainly because he knew he couldn't compete with Ling Su, so he smiled and said: "Then it all depends on my brother's arrangement?"
"What is this nonsense?"
Ling Su took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "We brothers, we have to discuss this."
After he served Xue Weiman, he thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we let Liu Mingyuan's subordinate follow his brothers south. The three of us are from Linhai Guards, so we should be closer."
When he mentioned Linhaiwei, Xue Wei frowned slightly.
Although he was indeed a member of the Linhai Guard, he did not really identify with this identity.
Because Linhaiwei's record against Japanese pirates back then, in the eyes of today's anti-Japanese army, can no longer be described as shameful.
Simply blind.
However, he still took a deep breath, nodded and said: "Then do as my brother said."
Ling Su raised his wine glass with a smile.
"Come on, brother, give me a toast!"
Xue Wei picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, but his eyes were looking south.
Guangdong…
His last chance.
………………
The next morning, Shen Yi got up early.
The reason why I didn't sleep in was because Cheng Tingzhi, the newly appointed governor of Fujian, was preparing to leave for Fuzhou.
Shen Yi's original plan was to rest in Yueqing for a few days before rushing to Fuzhou. Seeing that Cheng Tingzhi insisted on leaving, Shen Yi could only accompany him into Yueqing city first and wait for the Cheng family to arrive in Yueqing.
Near noon that morning, Cheng Tingzhi finally met his family in Yueqing City, including a wife, a concubine, two sons and a daughter who had not left the court.
There are five people in total.
Taking Cheng Futai along, there were six people in total.
Six people met in Yueqing City, and the family cried together in Yueqing City because they had not been reunited for a long time.
At noon that day, Shen Yi and Ying Zhao, the magistrate of Yueqing County, treated the six members of the family to a meal. After Shen Yi's persuasion, Cheng Tingzhi reluctantly agreed to stay one more night in Yueqing and set off again early tomorrow morning.
After wandering around Yueqing County for a whole afternoon, it wasn't until Shen Yi got acquainted with the daughter of the Cheng family that everyone returned to Shen Garden to eat and rest.
After dinner, Shen Yi brought a bottle of wine, two plates of side dishes, and knocked on the door of Jin Crown Prince Li Mu's room.
The prince was reading in the room. After opening the door and seeing Shen Yi, he welcomed Shen Yi in with a smile. He looked at the food and wine in Shen Yi's hand and joked: "What? You didn't win over that Cheng Zhongcheng and ran away." Are you here to fill me up?"
Shen Yi entered his room and the two of them sat down. Shen Yi poured wine for Li Mu and said, "Tomorrow, I am going south to Fuzhou with Cheng Futai."
"Um?"
Li Mu looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Before coming, I met with His Majesty. His Majesty said that Zi Heng, you have a sweetheart in Fuzhou. Now it seems that it is true. He only stayed in Yueqing for one day and he was in a hurry. Did you go south to Fuzhou in a panic?"
"Things that have nothing to do with..."
Shen Yi had a drink with Li Mu and said helplessly: "I don't really have any romantic partners in Fuzhou now, but..."
He paused and sighed: "Your Majesty seems to want me to have one."
"Then you have one."
Li Mu took a sip of his wine and said indifferently: "Otherwise, we should say that your civil servants are pretending to be noble. If your Majesty is our clan, you don't need to say it clearly. Just look at us and we will accept as many as you want."
Shen Yi shook his head and did not think about these troubles. After taking a sip of wine, he said: "I have already arranged things in Yueqing. Cheng Tingzhi is leaving tomorrow. I will bring two to three hundred people from the anti-Japanese army." Follow and escort him all the way to Fuzhou."
"how?"
Li Mu glanced at Shen Yi: "Afraid he is dead?"
"Um."
Shen Yi nodded first, and then said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I don't know. The people from the Sanfa Division are probably in Fuzhou now..."
He looked at Li Mu, lowered his eyebrows and said, "It's the newly appointed governor of Fujian who invited us here."
"Fuzhou officialdom will soon have a big eucalyptus."
Shen Yi also took a sip of wine: "The prince said he will die?"
"How brave."
Li Mu was speechless.
"That year, when I carried out the imperial order to raid homes along the coast, I had hundreds or even thousands of people with me. I was afraid that the mermaids in those places would be killed. This new governor of Fujian is really..."
"Fearless."
"That's why Your Majesty wants to use him."
Mr. Shen smiled and said: "Before facing foreign troubles, if we can eliminate internal worries first, even if it is just a province, it will be a good thing for the court."
"I'm afraid this person will do bad things with good intentions."
The prince lowered his brows and said calmly: "When the time comes, internal and external troubles will come together."
"Chaos means chaos for a province and chaos for a year. Your Majesty has a backup plan."
Mr. Shen exhaled a breath and said, "I want to help him."
"Then you go and help."
Li Mu took a bite of the food and said with a smile: "It has nothing to do with me anyway. I will just help you eat, drink and have fun with the local officials in Yueqing."
Shen Yi nodded silently.
"I am going to Fuzhou this time and will bring some craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to build the Dusi Yamen as soon as possible. When the Dusi Yamen is completed and the situation in Fujian stabilizes, it will not be too late for the prince to go to Fuzhou again."
"That's great."
Li Mu stretched and said with a smile.
"You just go and do it. When you're done, just say hello to me and I'll go to Fuzhou to enjoy the blessings."
Hearing this, Shen Yi said helplessly: "The prince's words make you angry."
Li Mu laughed.
"Who told you not to have a surname of Li?"
