The general direction is set, and the rest is the specific operation, which is not something that the little emperor needs to consider. In other words, he didn't understand it, so he dispersed in the early days, and according to the usual practice, the relevant officials went to the Shen Mansion with Shen Shixing to discuss the specific matter of sending troops, and then came up with a plan to find the little emperor to review and execute.

Along the way, Shi Xing, who was originally submissive, was still as calm as Huan, but few people around him dared to come up - a person who was so deeply hidden, but jumped up at a critical moment, and changed the long-delayed and delayed government pattern in one fell swoop.

This is not difficult to understand, just like a person in the company who usually looks down on everyone, suddenly jumped up in front of the big boss one day and told him that he had a major secret that was enough to change the fate of the company. Then the people around you will definitely have a strong psychological contrast, and unconsciously avoid it.

But in the matter of sending troops to Goryeo this time, Shi Xing is an inescapable person. He is the secretary of the military department, he is in charge of his territory, and everyone else has to really listen to his words and watch him continue to perform.

The simplicity of the Shoufu Mansion is a mess, which is my biggest feeling about the Shen Shixing Mansion. Historically, Shen Shixing's overall preference in terms of talent and virtue has not left any particularly profound records in terms of clean government.

Now seeing is believing, in addition to ordinary furnishings and frugal use, there are very few servants in the house, and the clothes are no different from ordinary large families. This is indeed too simple for him, who is the head of the court, under one person and above ten thousand people.

As for the next study of sending troops, I had already thought about it very clearly on the way. It is nothing more than the household department spitting out bitterness, saying that the soldiers' food and military salaries are scarce, and at the same time, there is a lot of pressure on the two fronts, and it is impossible to increase too many soldiers.

But under the holy decree, it is a national disaster, and Song Qi, the head of the household department, can only compromise, thinking twice, saying that this year's income is mediocre, even if you count the silver money urgently collected from everywhere, you can at most take out the money and grain to support about 80,000 soldiers and horses, and no more, the finance can't eat, is it possible that the war in the north will make the officials of the whole country drink the northwest wind, and the sumu pepper will not be able to be discounted again?

80,000 ...... Shi Xing frowned, this is much less than he imagined that he needed soldiers and horses, and the strength of the Japanese Kou is more than 400,000, do you really want to let the Erlang on the front line defeat one enemy and five enemies?

But this is the reality of the situation, in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, it is extremely inconvenient to supply, and Song Qi, the head of the household, has always been known for not standing in line and not greedy for money.

At this time, I took the initiative to stand up and said that the supplies could be carried by water, and I could be responsible for transporting them. According to the conversion of the difference between water and land transportation, the transportation cost can be reduced by more than 70 percent, and Song Qi immediately said that if the cost can be controlled within this range, the supporting force can rise to about 100,000 or even 105,000.

I have to say that although the increase in troops is limited, it is still good news - Shi Xing and Shen Shixing couldn't help but be overjoyed, and their reliance on me in their hearts has increased a few points.

When I first came to Daming, it was with the grain relief team that was transported all the way from Shandong to the northeast, which was really high mountains and rivers, and there were many difficulties. However, if the waterway is changed, people and animals do not work hard, the efficiency is much higher, and the safety factor is also guaranteed, which is definitely the first choice to protect the former enemy and transport materials.

After this proposal was fully supported by Shi Xing, he briefly talked about the benefits of shipping, and it was only then that these court officials really started to think about building a powerful naval army.

If the emperor can see the strength of the navy from this war, make up his mind, eliminate the evils of the times, and operate the navy according to the scale of my fleet, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will be able to wash away the decadence and revitalize its majesty!

But this is a later story after all, and the top priority now is to retreat from the enemy in the northeast. As for the navy, it is not too late to consider it in the long term after the end of the war.

The documents sent to Li Rusong have been sent away in an expedited manner for 800 miles, and the preparation of the Liaodong soldiers will naturally be handed over to him to implement. I don't have many requirements, except for the daily expenses such as money and food support, maintenance funds, etc., I only ask for more soldiers and horses, the 4,000 cavalry of the Jizhou battalion, to be deployed by me as a subordinate force.

Four thousand cavalry, this is a wave in a big wave on a large battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, and it can't set off any wind and waves. Even Zhu Yijun, who was jealous of me in his heart, couldn't say anything against it. So an official document was sent to Ye Sizhong, and this old man personally reorganized the army for battle, and led the Guanning Iron Cavalry, which had only formed an army of 4,000 squares, to prepare to fight with me at any time!

At this point, the basic structure of the operation has been completed, and the military department has finally come up with a final plan, and Li Rusong will lead his troops north to support Goryeo to defend the last piece of land. The Beijing division mobilized troops and immediately arrived, and the two joined forces in one place and worked together to break the enemy!

Shen Shixing read the opinions of the military department three times, immediately nodded in agreement, wrote a proposal for a ticket, sent someone to the palace, and handed it over to the little emperor Zhu Yijun for review and signature.

Seeing that the major event had been decided, the hundred officials immediately left the Shoufu Shen Mansion and went back to do their own business. The rest of me seems to have nowhere to go, the Wenhai Pavilion given to me by the second uncle in the early years has been taken back by the little emperor, and now the newly arranged mansion is not in place, do you want me to go to live in the post station as a second-grade adult? Shen Shixing was the first to refuse, so he invited me and Congren to live in his house, and he also had a good chat to express his farewell.

I smiled and declined Shen Shixing's invitation, I had already agreed with Hua Mei before, the Li family still has two mansions in the root of the imperial city, one of which is newly built, five large courtyards with five frames, enough to accommodate me and my servants.

Of course, the Jianhai Chamber of Commerce actually has a lot of business channels in Beijing, and it also has a place to live. But after so many years, they have finally been "whitewashed", so why should I "pull them into the water" again for this trivial matter?

So I also said goodbye to Shen Shixing and made an appointment to see you tomorrow. Shen Shixing said in his heart that my Li family's horse deserves its name, and it is understandable to live in my father-in-law's house, so he opened the door to send me off and sent me directly to the outside of the gate.

Urging the horse all the way to Li's house, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery on both sides of the street, my heart was full of mixed feelings. At the beginning, this street left me with countless good memories, when I left, I thought that I would never come back in this life, but unexpectedly, time passed, and I was able to ride a horse and whip on this road in the open.

It's really life like a play, a play like life, just like Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly, who is Zhuang Zhou, who is the dream butterfly, who is true and who is false, it is really a mystery that can't be explained, can't be seen, can't be guessed!

But half an hour, Li Fu was already in front of him, riding a horse to the door to roll the saddle and dismount, there were already Li Fu from the people waiting at the door, seeing my arrival, surprised to come up and call my aunt, then helped me hold the horse, led me and the nine ghosts Zhengxiao and several other personal guards into the yard. The rest of the people went to the side courtyard to eat and rest, without mentioning.

It was getting late, and he walked in front with a lantern, and I followed him all the way to the back hall.

Lifting the curtain and entering the door, Li Zaixing sat on the main seat, Hua Mei was moving a stool to sit next to him, and the father and daughter were talking. Seeing me come in, Hua Mei was overjoyed, but Li Zaixing smiled faintly and said, "The big thing is over?" Come and sit! Xingguo is also coming? Is your father well? ”

The tone was indifferent, as if I hadn't been there for many years, but had temporarily gone to the unit for a few hours to return home, and that naturally made me feel warm in my heart, and I really felt like I was going home.

On the front wall of the back hall hung a portrait of Mrs. Li, the portrait was very finely made, and even the details of Mrs. Li's eyebrows and eyes were clearly drawn, and I only felt as if Mrs. Li was reborn and sat in front of me and smiled at me.

She was very good to me before her death, and when she first started dating Hua Mei, Mrs. Li really treated me as her own, especially after knowing that I lost my mother in my early years, she was even more concerned, from mosquito nets in summer, insoles in winter to the total amount in life, all aspects are thought of for me, Hua Mei often said that my mother cared more about me than herself.

The reason why I later married Hua Mei was actually largely because of Mrs. Li's care and care, which made me seem to find the feeling of being cared for by my mother, which is the most precious thing that cannot be changed.

Now that yin and yang are separated, Li Zaixing has no intention of continuing the strings, but only uses his actions to express his grief for his deceased wife, which is even more sad.

Thinking of this, I only felt a strong sadness in my heart, and without saying a word, I pushed the gold mountain, poured the jade pillar, bowed to the statue of Mrs. Li, and kowtowed three times to the statue of Mrs. Li!

Qi Xingguo, who was behind him, was also knowledgeable with the Li family because of Qi Dudu, so he bowed his head with me.

Hua Mei watched from the side, and when she saw me come in and worship my mother first, her eyes were red, and she gently grabbed her father's sleeve, but she was silent.

After bowing three times, I stood up and walked to the stool on the other side of Li Zaixing and sat down. Qi Xingguo simply said hello, but when he talked about his father, he was choked up, so he turned around and went back, went down with the Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao and others, and went to the side room to eat and rest.

As a result, the three of us and the Li family were left in the room, and we were speechless for a while, except for the crackling sound of the oil lamp.

I haven't seen him for a few years, Li Zaixing is obviously very old, the wrinkles on his forehead are as deep as a knife, and his voice is not as loud as before.

Looking at Hua Mei again, her expression seems to be a little wrong, and when she looks at Li Zaixing, she always feels as if she wants to cry, but she can't help it.

Don't...... Li Zaixing also has a physical problem?

Stared at his face again and looked carefully, sure enough, Yin Tang was dark, and his face was full of black energy, and it seemed that he was also suffering from a long-term illness and a difficult predicament to get rid of.

Alas, although it is said that birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, but when these ordinary things really come to the head, how many people can be calm?

I couldn't help but feel three points of sympathy and pity for Hua Mei from the bottom of my heart......
