However, it seems that there are not many benefits and a lot of troubles to accept this kid as a righteous son, and morally, it is too deeply involved with the army left by Gao Jie, which is not in his interests.

"Mrs. Xing, I am very touched that the child recognizes me as a father-in-law, but there are some problems here, I am not alone, it will bring some problems."

Mrs. Xing said with some concern: "You mean? ”

Li Xiangqian said: "After all, I am in the military world, and I accept Ling Lang as my son, and my name is not right, which is not good for Ling Lang's future." ”

The other party just wanted a guarantee, he really refused too ruthlessly, and it was not very good, at this time, thinking of the five words of the Heavenly Monarch, so he smiled and said: "That's it, I'll accept Linglang as a student, how about it?" ”

Mrs. Xing questioned for a moment and said, "You mean." ”

Li Xiangqian said: "Originally, the imperial capital was also going to open a military academy, although the site selection work has not yet begun, but it still has to start, although it is only to train non-commissioned officers in the early stage, but the training curriculum is quite comprehensive, with his identity, it is also a good choice to mix with the military world in the future." ”

Mrs. Xing hesitated, no matter how she sounded, it seemed that she was asking her son to be a hostage.

Li Xiangqian grasped this emotion and said: "In other aspects, don't worry, the safety of the school must also be guaranteed, this, you can send a few people to be bodyguards, and the winter and summer vacations are also free to come and go, speaking of which, there is something to be made clear." ”

Mrs. Xing immediately obeyed: "You order." ”

"General Gao's title of Earl Xingping seems to be passed down for three generations, this, just wait for the edict from the imperial capital, I don't have the right to knight Ling Lang, don't worry about this, but the troops under him should have an explanation."

Mrs. Xing's heart was excited, and she didn't know what to say, no matter what, at this time, the situation in the world was stable, how to look at the army left by her husband, and after the funeral, if there is no backbone, then the possibility of dispersing is very great, in this era of troubled times, there are soldiers and grass kings, without soldiers and horses, how should their orphans and widows survive?

Looking at the man's eloquent conversation, Mrs. Xing was a little excited, and suddenly stretched out her hand and said: "I just ask my lord to pity my mother and son who are lonely, as long as my son can inherit his father's subordinates, the people are willing to do anything." ”

Mrs. Xing can be thirty years old, it is the moment of youth and beauty, the poignant and reluctant to be taken away by others, so that Li Xiangqian looked around embarrassedly, and saw that in this pergola, there was a maid wearing linen and filial piety watching, at this time embarrassed to turn her back, and suddenly very moved, this ......

This is simply a beast, Li Xiangqian scolded himself secretly, but such a beauty, if she lets it go, she is not as good as a beast.

However, I immediately thought of something, and still pushed her hand away, but in the process, I pinched it a little and said: "You misunderstood, what I mean, as far as I know, General Gao usually organizes the army, and you can be regarded as a virtuous helper." ”

Mrs. Xing blushed and said, "I don't dare to interfere in the affairs of the Son of Heaven, but I usually manage the accounts and distribute materials, and I am used to do things." ”

Li Xiangqian nodded and said, "This can be regarded as de facto management, I mean, you might as well manage the army." ”

Mrs. Xing looked at him and said, "Me? ”

Li Xiangqian said: "As far as I know, the former Ming Dynasty was still very lenient for women in the army, I don't know if it's because men are too bad, Qin Liangyu is well-known in the world, you won't know it." ”

Qin Liangyu is a famous general in the southwest, loyal to the Ming Dynasty as a woman, and was received by Chongzhen, which can be said to be well-known in the world, and Mrs. Xing also knows it.

Mrs. Xing blushed a little, she did use her body to give alms before, to find a chance for her son to live, compared to others, the young and strong Li Xiangqian is not an unacceptable candidate, in this era, the poor families do not have the tradition of keeping chastity and not marrying, they are all poor, let alone embarrassing the poor?

"You mean, I can too."

Li Xiangqian said: "So I'm also muttering, are there any of the subordinates of Zunfu who are unruly and want to usurp?" Or take the opportunity to make trouble, and also, it is also a little difficult for you to support an army independently, and it is impossible for the imperial court to always put more than 10,000 elite soldiers in Fengyang, and sooner or later it will be fought out. ”

Mrs. Xing immediately said: "This, the people of the late husband, all crawled out of the pile of corpses in nine deaths, and they are the most loyal, and we are willing to serve the adults to the death." ”

This kind of thing is to say, my big ** generals used to be so sincere and united, shouting higher than the sky, but when they surrendered, they retreated and turned into their swift wind, outflanked and detoured like a forest, endangered the people and plundered like fire, and the friendly troops were difficult and immobile like mountains.

However, it's not easy to debunk anything, most of the army in this era is just a mixed meal for soldiers to eat, compared with the imperial era when the people were angry to get military merits and seal their wives and sons, the gap is bigger than the world, this is true.

Li Xiangqian said: "Well, in that case, you will continue to serve as the chief military officer, anyway, there is no suitable candidate, rather than find someone else, I would rather you." ”

Mrs. Xing hesitated a little and said, "This is a little inappropriate, I'm a woman." ”

"It's okay, with Qin Liangyu in front, it's easy for you to do anything, as long as you maintain good military discipline and all kinds of rectification work, the war below is not difficult, that is, go south to Jiangnan, as far as I know, Jiangnan, for the northern refugees, they are basically treated like animals, and they don't dare to arm them, so as long as they don't offend them in some small details, it is not difficult to take Jiangnan."

Mrs. Xing was a little apprehensive and said, "This, okay." ”

Li Xiangqian thought for a while and said: "Let me think about it, that's pretty much it, after all, it's all your own people, it's not good to fight too hard, I personally tend to combine civil, offensive and martial arts, by the way, you control the army under your command, is there any obstacle." ”

Mrs. Xing thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid that someone will talk about it." ”

Well, it can be seen that your husband and wife still have some control over their subordinates, as long as the people above give them power, it should be fine, as for what to discuss, you are not in the right position, don't you just need to get close to us to sit firmly.

Personnel is politics, and this is a question of line.

For Li Xiangqian, ability is not the first, background is not the first, and even loyal ministers are not the first, but dependence is the first, and they must rely on the elders, which is the most important.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xing beckoned her son, who was already asleep half dead: "Son, come and meet the master and kowtow to the master." ”

Although this master and his father-in-law are one level apart, in terms of intimacy, they are indeed similar.

Li waved his hand forward and said, "Don't be busy, it's a big deal in the end, find a suitable time, and talk about it in front of everyone in a bright and bright way, which will be good for you to gain a firm foothold." ”

Mrs. Xing hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, I should also prepare a generous gift for the adult, and I can't treat the adult badly, I was negligent." ”

Li waved his hand forward and said: "How can I care about these false courtesies, they are all routines, routines, I am not afraid to tell you, show the gentry in the city, let them know that they can't bully you, and it is also good for you to control the army here." ”

Mrs. Xing thought for a while and said, "My lord is really wise, I think about my mother and son in detail, and when my son grows up, he will definitely serve my lord." ”

Li Xiangqian thought about it, confirmed that there was nothing to wait for, and said: "You don't have to repay me, you can return to the country, as for the rest, you don't have to think about it too much, well, of course, the reorganization of your army and other work should also begin." ”

Mrs. Xing is also a spirit, no matter what, at this critical moment, it is not good to hear such words as reorganization.

However, it is impossible to carry out any regularized reorganization of the current manpower, and it can only drag out time: "There will be no political commissars, and the reorganization I am talking about is to eliminate and retain the strong, and to clear out the children and the elderly who should not stay in the army, and to go to school and ...... those who should go to school."

Thinking of the infrastructure of Fengyang City, it seems that there is no place to accommodate so many children and the elderly.

This is the biggest problem of this era, even if you know that you shouldn't be bound to the army, but if there is no other place to accommodate it, you still have to find a way to manage it, that's it.

Therefore, it is also very normal for my Great Song Dynasty to make a million-level useless forbidden army, these people have nothing else to do, so they have nothing to do to fight?

How to deal with the idle population, or find something to do for these idle population, so that they don't think about it one day and try to rebel, just as before a certain period of time, the management of college students in the world was quite strict and rigorous, but after that period of time, college students found that they could do it all, and they should love and not study every day, and after the school was relaxed, the last group of young people with enterprising spirit were also ruined.

In a word, the Northeast immigration policy has just begun, and it can be said that the attraction to ordinary people is so much, at least until the first batch of immigrants taste the sweetness, after the benefits of this sweetness are spread, and this basic transmission mechanism is established.

Hou Fangyu basically determined his fate, in order to further disintegrate the so-called Donglin Party reactionaries, he will be thrown into all the black hats after being squeezed out of all the use value, of course, this is not a political struggle, and it has nothing to do with any cultural issues, purely because the world is like this, the soil that maintains the survival of Confucianism will soon be eliminated by the Council of Elders, then, the days of the Donglin Party's swaggering and deception will also come to an end.

This is history, and in the history of China, similar reforms have actually been carried out countless times, whether it is in writing, in the system, or in the economy.

Gao Jie's funeral after his death was still very grand, and on the day of the funeral, although he was very impatient with these red tape, and he was also very unpleasant to those swaggering and deceitful Taoist priests, in his understanding, the only thing these unproductive guys brought was chaos, and a little mental anesthetic, and other useless.

Huang Degong is still a very interesting person.

Huang Degong is a very typical Ming soldier, born at the bottom of the ladder since he was a child, and cut off people's heads for silver to make money, but the reputation of filial piety to his son is very great, in countless corpses, relying on a little bravery and luck to live to the end, step by step, even the place of Jingying can be gilded once, and finally got rewarded, and even became the last force of the empire.

As a northeasterner, he was born in a military household and had no aversion to obeying the orders of the people in the imperial capital, and he began to work hard since he was twelve years old.

Huang Degong asked about the spacecraft several times, but was interrupted by Li Xiangqian, but signaled that he could have time to go to the imperial capital to see, of course, after being guaranteed, he also agreed to the request to start the reorganization, in fact, at this time, the dividends of peace have begun to appear on the land of China, after all, there is no account, and there are a group of people everywhere waving gold purchases, and even the stability of the currency, the Republic Tongbao directly cut off the act of minting coins without permission, and also made the entire economy a lot more stable.

The overall is good, a big good, not a small good.

If you want to extinguish Madam Xing's anger, the death of one person is not enough, for Madam Xing, Hou Fangyu handed over to Li Xiangqian can be tolerated, after all, he promised an unimaginable bargaining chip, and handed over her husband's army directly to her to be managed by a woman, but for her, the lives of the rest of the people are not so precious.

Hou Fangyu's family, the personal soldiers sent by Zuo Liangyu, and the poor people in the city who were bewitched by the so-called holy decree all knelt in front of Gao Jie's coffin, and Mrs. Xing didn't pay attention to anything, and directly after Ma Shiying nodded, these people could quietly welcome their deaths.

Ma Shiying is not happy about this, according to his own wishes, get rid of the thorn in his eye, and replace it with an obedient person, but on the other hand, this hatred is pulled to others, of course, he is not very happy that the hand of the "virtuous son-in-law" reaches into his own field, but now is the honeymoon period, and the two sides are still very regular.

These poor people in Fengyang City who bet on the wrong treasure and stood on the wrong team basically entered the death list, and their families were also unfortunately raided, but considering the lack of manpower, it is better to send them directly to the north, and Mrs. Xing is also understandable, if you kill too many people at one time, you will simply set up countless enemies for your son, so she nodded and agreed.

What no one knows is that in the team that was arrested, a mother and daughter were sobbing and parting, "Liu'er, today we are going to the imperial capital, but you have to remember that my family is a scholarly family for generations, and if you encounter an accident today, don't insult the family style is ......"
