"There's one more question." Dong Fei said, "Since we have established a new army, and all of you have become army commanders and deputy commanders, I suggest that you should adjust your military ranks." Chairman Zhang, what do you think? ”

Zhang Guodong said with a smile: "Lao Dong, you are the chairman of the Military Commission, you can take the idea." ”

Dong Fei smiled and took out a piece of paper: "That's what I plan." Jiang Beiming and Han Wantao's major generals were promoted to major generals, Lin Zhaolong, Wang Hua, and He Chaoyong were promoted to brigadier generals, Zhang Hai, Zhao Qi, Zhao Dequan, Xin Jiaju, An Yuhang, Ye Zhan, and Andreas were promoted to colonels, and the others were also promoted to colonels. ”

Ye Zhan and Andreas stood up excitedly and saluted: "Chairman Xie cultivates." ”

"You sit down first." Dong Fei looked at the list in his hand again, "Ye Zhan is the deputy commander of the first division, Xu Tianbin is the deputy commander of the second division, and Andreas is the deputy commander of the third division." In this way, the three divisions have deputy division commanders, and the work can be carried out more easily. ”

"Okay, Zhaolong." Xu Lang shouted at Lin Zhaolong, "It's time to hang up the star." ”

"Not yet, not yet." Lin Zhaolong said with a smile, "I still have to go through the approval of the conference." ”

"Don't worry." Zhang Guodong said, "The crossing conference will not be unapproved. ”

After the meeting, Xu Lang returned home. Sun Jiayi and Bihe have both given birth to children and are in confinement at the Ye family. Sun Jiayi gave birth to a girl, Bihe gave birth to a boy, and Xu Lang never had time to see them.

"Xu Lang, are you finally free today?" Cheng Yiyi and Zhao Zhiruo have already gone home.

"It's finally a little free." Xu Lang sat down and took out a cigarette, "This will be opened, there will be a lot of trouble." ”

"Xu Lang." Zhao Zhiruo asked, "If you are not busy, let's go next door tonight, Bihe has been giving birth to a child for a few days, and it is not a matter for you, a grandfather, not to go." ”

"Go, let's go tonight." Xu Lang smiled, "I just became a grandfather in my early 40s, and it seems that I am really old." ”

"What are you?" Cheng Yiyi said with a smile, "Lao Ye is less than 40, and he has three grandchildren." ”

"That, Yiyi, Zhiruo." Xu Lang rubbed his hands and didn't know what to say, he had never told the two of them about going to Vietnam.

Cheng Yiyi saw the clue: "Are you going to go far again, where are you going this time?" There's nothing bad to say, anyway, as soon as we get pregnant you'll have to go. ”

Xu Lang said embarrassedly: "Look, this is not what I meant, it is the arrangement of the Military Commission." ”

"Sensei explained." Cheng Yiyi asked, "Where are you going this time, and how long are you going?" ”

"This time it's near, go to Vietnam." Xu Lang said, "I will be back in a month at most." ”

Zhao Zhiruo was a little reluctant: "When are you leaving?" ”

"It's not settled yet, it's almost just a few days."

"Let's eat first, and then we have to see the children after eating." Although Cheng Yiyi was a little unhappy, she didn't show it.

Xu Lang didn't have anything to say: "Just bring Bihe good news, Ye Zhan has been promoted to colonel and deputy division commander." ”

Cheng Yiyi sneered: "Didn't you add another star, do you want a major general?" ”

"I'm not in a hurry, I'll always add it." Xu Lang said with a smile, "How can I say that I am also the chief of staff of the New First Army now, and it is not stable to be a major general." ”

"What a new army." Cheng Yiyi didn't know about the reorganization of the army, "Aren't you the chief of the general staff?" ”

Xu Lang realized that he had missed something again: "It's nothing, it's just that the army has been reorganized and a new army has been formed." ”

Cheng Yiyi was really angry: "Is the New First Army preparing for the Annan landing, that is to say, you have to leave when you come back from Vietnam, and you will go to participate in the Annan landing." Why do you let you go again, why do you let you go every time. I'll go to Dong Fei and Zhang Guodong to reason. ”

"Yiyi, Yiyi." Xu Lang hurriedly persuaded, "Why are you so angry, this is the collective decision of the Military Commission." Besides, it seems that your husband and I have the ability, and I can't do it without me. ”

Zhao Zhiruo also persuaded: "Sister Yiyi, Xu Lang has no choice, don't be angry, it's not good for the child." ”

"What else do you want this child to do, his father doesn't care about him, what's the use of me being born." Cheng Yiyi cried as she spoke.

"Yiyi, don't cry, don't cry." Xu Lang stepped forward and hugged Cheng Yiyi's shoulder, "I, it's okay if I don't go, I'll go and tell the Military Commission tomorrow that I'm going to accompany my wife at home to have children, and I won't go to Vietnam." ”

"Really?" Zhao Zhiruo became excited first, "Xu Lang, you really don't go to Vietnam." ”

"Zhiruo, you listen to him fool you." Cheng Yiyi poked Xu Lang's forehead hard, "If you can not go, I will write Cheng Yiyi upside down." ”

Xu Lang knew that Cheng Yiyi was not angry, and said with a smile: "I know that you know me best, let's hurry up and go to dinner, and go to see my grandson after eating." ”

After the family finished dinner, Xu Lang and Lu Tianxiang said hello, carried a bunch of things and Cheng Yiyi and Zhao Zhiruo to Yesun's house next door.

The Ye family had just finished dinner, and when they saw Xu Lang and them coming, Ziyun was the first to run out of the house: "Mr. Xu, why did you come to see the baby?" ”

Xu Lang handed the things to Ziyun: "I'm too busy, I only have some time today, how is the baby, okay." ”

"Okay, baby." Ziyun said, "It's just eating, sleeping, sleeping, eating." ”

Zhao Zhiruo smiled in the back: "Any child is like this when he is born, and when he is naughty, you will be annoyed." ”

Ye Sunquan and Luo Shi came out of the room: "Master Xu, Mr. Cheng, and Mr. Zhao are here." ”

"Old Ye, Mrs. Ye." Xu Lang said, "Let's take a look at the two little babies, I haven't come for so many days, I'm sorry." ”

"Where did Master Xu say, please in the house, please in the house." Ye Sunquan greeted with a smile.

Xu Lang entered the house and didn't see Ye Zhan: "Ye Zhan hasn't come back yet?" ”

"Nope." Roche said, "He came back late every day these days. ”

"I'm sorry for you." Xu Lang said with a smile, "Old Ye, you don't know yet, Ye Zhan has been promoted to colonel and deputy division commander." ”

"Really?" Ye Sunquan couldn't hide the joy in his heart, "It's all cultivated by Master Xu." ”

"It's not me, it's his own efforts." Xu Lang said, "The decision just made by the Military Commission today will be officially appointed in a few days. ”

The two maids took the child out, and Ye Yan also followed: "Hello Mr. Xu." ”

"Ye Yan, I am a father again, and now I have both children and daughters." Xu Lang teased the two children, "Let's take them back, so as not to get cold again." ”

Cheng Yiyi looked around: "Old Ye, now that Ye Li and Ziyun are married, is your family unable to live again?" ”

"That's what Mr. Cheng said." Ye Sunquan said, "I added two children and a few maids at once, and I lived a little tight." ”

"What are you afraid of?" Xu Lang smiled, "Anyway, what you Lao Ye has now is silver, so you can buy a few more houses." ”

"Mr. Xu." Ye Li said on the side, "My father wants to buy a piece of land to build a house by himself." ”

"Lao Ye, you want to buy land and build a house?" Xu Lang was a little strange, turned his head to Cheng Yiyi and asked, "Can we buy land in Yulin Bay and build a house by ourselves?" ”

"What's not to do then." Cheng Yiyi replied, "You can always build your own house, how confused are you." ”

"Really?" Xu Lang was interested, "Lao Ye, where do you want to buy land and how big a house do you want to build?" ”

"Let Master Xu smile." Ye Sunquan said, "I want to buy a piece of land in the east area, as for how big the house to build, I haven't thought about it yet, but I should at least need a yard with five entrances." ”

"You can do it, old Ye." Cheng Yiyi shouted, "You still have money." ”

Ye Sunquan said with a smile: "Master Xu and Mr. Cheng don't want to build a house by themselves, we can also be neighbors again." ”

"I think so." Xu Lang said, "But how can we have you rich." ”

Jiang Beiming and Zhang Hai led a fast gun team of more than 10,000 people to join Zhou Lei and Wang Qianxiang in Datong. This time, the military department only transferred 10,000 people to Jiang Beiming, and the rest of the fast gun team remained in Beijing. Jiang Beiming understands that this is Chongzhen's and wants to divide the fast gun team, maybe he will go to Shaanxi to inspect Chongzhen a few times.

Now Jiang Beiming has less and less confidence in the fast gun team, no matter how he says it, it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, their heart is still towards the Ming Dynasty, and it is difficult to make the fast gun team and Yulin Bay have one heart.

Jiang Beiming has already received an order from his family, since Chongzhen is playing this score, then this time he will go to Shaanxi to attack Li Zicheng with all his might. It is best to be able to recover Yanchang County, and if it can't be recovered, it can also consume the strength of the fast gun team, Yulinwan is more and more worried that one day he will meet Chongzhen and turn his face.

September in Shaanxi was already quite cool, Jiang Beiming rode a war horse and walked in the middle of the team with Zhou Lei and Wang Qianxiang.

"Beiming, can you talk to your family, let's all transfer them back." Zhou Lei once again put forward his proposal, stabilize Southeast Asia, control Hainan Island, and then push the mainland.

"I think Zhou Lei's words are very reasonable." Wang Qianxiang also said, "Let's just talk about the two of us, now there are only 2,000 soldiers and horses in Xuanfu and Datong, which is useless at all." And I feel that the decisions at home are changed all day long, upside down, and there is no continuity at all. ”

Jiang Beiming smiled and didn't speak, he actually agreed with what Zhou Lei and Wang Qianxiang said. In recent years, the policy of Yulin Bay has become too fast, one will go north, the other will go south, and the result of turning over and over again is that for so many years, it has not been able to destroy the Manchu Qing Dynasty, nor has it been able to control Southeast Asia. It's been eight years, and now it's barely enough to take Hainan Island, but it still hasn't really changed the direction of history.

But Jiang Beiming can't say it, because all of this is the resolution of the crossing conference, and it is the final decision of more than 300 travelers. From the day of landing, this system was already in place. Although Jiang Beiming also understood that this system might not be suitable for war, it allowed Yulin Bay to develop, and it was also recognized by everyone. Since everyone has collectively chosen this path, it is still necessary to go on the road whether it is right or wrong.

"Beiming, why don't you speak." Zhou Lei saw that Jiang Beiming had not spoken, so he couldn't help asking.

Jiang Beiming said: "Don't complain, your opinions haven't been mentioned, and I can't help if my family doesn't agree." These things are still waiting for us to go home, and our task now is to fight Li Zicheng. ”

"Li Zicheng has been besieging Xi'an for half a year." Wang Qianxiang asked, "We only have 10,000 people, can it work?" ”

"It's a." Zhou Lei scolded, "Everyone knows what Chongzhen thinks, and no one wants to treat us as fools." ”

"Okay, okay, don't say a word." Jiang Beiming said, "I'm about to enter Shaanxi, cheer up, don't make any mistakes." ”

Yang Sichang, Hong Chengchou, and Lu Xiangsheng have been fighting in Shaanxi for almost half a year, Li Zicheng can't attack Xi'an, and Yang Sichang can't beat Yan'an, so the two sides are in such a stalemate.

After a few more days, Jiang Beiming's troops entered Shaanxi, and the number of displaced people began to slowly increase. Because of the experience of Lin Zhaolong's trip to Yanchang County last time, Jiang Beiming had already agreed with the Taiyuan side that all the displaced people would arrange for them to go to Taiyuan, and the Taiyuan side would resettle them, and the fast gun team would not take any of them.

Jiang Beiming sent a messenger in advance to Yan'an to inform Yang Sichang of the date of his possible arrival in Yan'an. But on this day, Jiang Beiming suddenly received an urgent order from Yang Sichang, asking him not to go to Yan'an anymore and go directly to Xi'an. Because Zhang Xianzhong ran out of Sichuan, he is currently besieging Xi'an with Li Zicheng.

Jiang Beiming was a little suspicious in his heart, when Chongzhen was ten years old, Zhang Xianzhong's scope of activity should be in Sichuan. In this year, Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan three times, besieged Chengdu, and was attacked by Zuo Liangyu, the chief officer of the Ming army, Zhang Xianzhong's rebel troops were seriously damaged, and he was also injured, and he was cleared in the first month of next year. But now that history may have changed, it is not surprising that Zhang Xianzhong appeared in Xi'an.

"Pass the order." Jiang Beiming read Yang Sichang's warrant in the tent and gave an order, "The army will change direction tomorrow and go to Xi'an." ”

"Beiming, Yang Sichang said that he didn't say how many rogues there are in Xi'an now?" Zhang Hai asked.

"I didn't say it, just said that Xi'an is now under siege."

"Then he didn't say where Zuo Liangyu is now, is he also in Xi'an?" Zhang Hai asked again.

"See for yourself." Jiang Beiming handed the warrant to Zhang Hai.

"Don't look." Zhang Hai said with a smile, "Traditional Chinese characters plus Chinese are still vertical, and I can't understand them." ”

"Yang Sichang didn't say anything about Zuo Liangyu, but I think he should also be in Xi'an."

"It's a bit of a hassle." Zhang Hai asked, "What if we meet Zuo Liangyu?" ”

Jiang Beiming understood what Zhang Hai meant by asking, Zuo Liangyu is now not only arrogant and arrogant, but also self-respecting. Not only did he rob the soldiers and rob the people's daughters, but he also didn't listen to the dispatch of the imperial court, and even Chongzhen had no way to take him.

"Let's wait until we get to Xi'an." Jiang Beiming felt that with Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng here, Zuo Liangyu should be able to restrain himself.
