Behind the group, a group of soldiers stood in a neat and solemn position with their guns in hand, and at the front of the ranks of the soldiers, there were only a few three. The man on the left is wearing a military uniform, wearing a huge orchid medal on his chest, and no other accessories, his face is square, but his skin is fair, and his expression is very gentle, if he is not wearing a military uniform, I am afraid that he is more like a scribe.

His name is Ning Zeguang, and he is a senatorial officer belonging to the Northeast Army of the Han Dynasty, because he has the deepest qualifications among the senators, and has made a lot of contributions in several major battles by relying on his own planning, and has been awarded and commended by the imperial court several times, in addition to receiving the highest level of the Yinlan Medal, he was even named a viscount.

Moreover, in addition to his deep qualifications, he also has the trust of the commander-in-chief, Ji Guogong Chen Sheng, and is already the chief of the Northeast Army and Ji Guogong's right-hand man. In addition, he has a deep friendship with the senators of the military council in the capital, and even His Majesty values him very much.

Standing on the right is a middle-aged man with a long beard, wearing an official robe, and his face is as calm as water. If Ning Zeguang is like a scribe, he is like a real scribe. His name is Li Jingsi, and he is the current governor of Liaodong. He was a member of the Southern Zhili, and was admitted to the Jinshi in the early years of the former Apocalypse, and was later selected as the magistrate of Shandong. However, when Zhao Jiajun was rising, he judged early on that great changes were about to take place in the world, so he abandoned his official position not long after Zhongjinshi and took the initiative to take refuge in the Xuzhou Group. Then, because of his own origin and ability, he was appreciated by the high-level Xuzhou who was rapidly expanding in strength and thirsty for civil affairs talents, and started as a petty official step by step, and finally became the governor of Liaodong.

However, although he looks like Sven, and he is a jinshi of the previous dynasty, he is not just a sour scholar who can only study - otherwise he would not have judged the situation so early and took refuge in Zhao Jiajun. He is different from ordinary Jin non-commissioned officers, he is not arrogant, he is also very familiar with world affairs, he is very good at governance, and he is very humble, and the relationship between the top and bottom is maintained very well, otherwise he would not have been promoted so quickly as a former Jin Shi.

These two people are great people in Liaodong, compared to them, He Sheng and He Tuanzheng are indeed just small characters, no wonder they can only willingly shrink back.

And the person between the two of them, the origin and authority are even greater than that people can't look at directly - the person in the middle is the commander of all the armies of the Han Dynasty in the Northeast, Marshal, Ji Guogong Chen Sheng.

He is tall and handsome, and at the same time, because he has been in the military for many years, he is very full of energy, and just standing puts great pressure on others. He also wore a military uniform, and the huge Golden Plum Medal shone brightly on his chest, which made him even more powerful.

However, perhaps because of the hard life on the frontier and the fatigue of commanding battles, the marshal was obviously not yet forty years old, and his temples had already grown slightly gray. However, this did not reduce his bearing, but made him more majestic, standing on both sides of him, the two people who were already big guys had to be respectful and did not dare to make any mistakes.

On the territory of the Han Dynasty, his authority was indeed shockingly high: he was one of the emperor's most trusted elder brothers, one of the founders of the Zhao Zi Battalion, the predecessor of the army, and one of the few marshals now. At the same time, because he commanded the battle to destroy the Jurchens in Jianzhou, his military exploits can be said to be the highest in the dynasty and the most dazzling person in the army.

He is now in Shenyang, commanding all the Han armies in the entire northeast, and even the garrison of Goryeo is under his direct control, and he can control a country remotely; At the same time, because the civil affairs institutions in the eastern Liaoning region have not yet been fully established, and the governor Li Jingsi is respectful to him and obeys everything, so in fact he is now the head of the military, government and civil affairs in the northeast region, and he deserves to be the master of the party.

What's more, his younger brother Chen Hong also served as an extremely important finance minister in the cabinet and was named a marquis. One prince and one marquis in one door is rare in the world and everyone pays attention. In the private discussions between the officialdom and the people of the Han Dynasty, everyone regarded him as a noble leader who could match the prime minister of the dynasty and the prince of Yongguo, Zhaojing, and even many people thought that he was still too powerful.

Under his leadership, such a group of top bigwigs in eastern Liaoning gathered in the port of Jinzhou.

Because of the solemn expression of the Guogong, no one whispered, and everyone stood in a row behind the trestle, looking at the endless sea in the distance.

Just today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will arrive at the port of Jinzhou with the fleet to patrol Liaodong.

Not long after the prince's departure, according to the previously scheduled itinerary, these high-ranking military and political officials of Liaodong who were originally stationed in Shenyang went out of the city and went south at the same time, preparing to welcome the prince.

They had been waiting in the harbor city, but after receiving the message from the clippers in the fleet that had arrived first, they poured out of the merchant house where they were staying in the city and came to the harbor to wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to arrive.

Time passed minute by minute, and the fleet carrying the prince still did not appear, and the hearts of this group of civil and military officials were slightly impetuous and wavering, but Ji Guogong still stood still, staring ahead, as if he was in a trance. Marshal Chen, who was the prince of the country, did not say anything, and the others naturally did not dare to show any traces, so everyone could only continue to stand and did not dare to leave the ranks.

The sun is getting higher and higher, and gradually there are beads of sweat left on everyone's seal hall, and other people who have been in the army for a long time are better, but Governor Li Jingsi is a person who has always studied literature and has never exercised his body, he has been standing for so long and being exposed to the sun, he always feels a little trance.

He didn't dare to leave the waiting line in front of the marshal, but no matter how he stood up, he felt too difficult, so he wanted to talk, at least to be able to cheer up a little.

"Marshal Chen, you shouldn't have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for several years, right?" He barely gathered his energy, put together a forced smile, and turned to look at the marshal.

"Yes, it's been several years, I've been fighting in Liaodong for the past few years, except for one time when I went back to see Your Majesty in the middle, I haven't returned to the capital, and I haven't seen Your Highness that time." The marshal, who had been looking at the sea, did not answer for a long time, and only nodded slowly after a while, "His Royal Highness the Prince...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the seven-year-old child I saw last time I saw it, I didn't expect it to be a flash, and now I have reached the age where I can go out on patrol on behalf of the emperor...... It's a real time, and it's really fast. ”

His tone was very deep, as if full of feelings, and this feeling was naturally not only at the age of the prince.

Li Jingsi, who was born in Jinshi and didn't know how much he had seen in the world, naturally knew what the marshal was sighing about.

When the eldest husband was young, he traveled all over the world to make achievements, closed his eyes and carried his head forward little by little, and when he became famous, looking back, even the children had grown up, and he could also experience that feeling a little.

Since he was appointed governor of Liaodong two years ago and stationed in Shenyang City, he and the marshal have come and gone many times, and they have also learned a lot about each other, and he also knows that the marshal is not just lamenting his youth.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been precocious, and the court has praised him, this time he was given a heavy responsibility by the emperor, and I think he wants His Royal Highness to sharpen it." He bowed slightly, and then laughed, "I want to come when the **** land and water go hand in hand, and go straight to the isolated island of Japan, which is also a great formation, and a young man can be lucky enough to be in the rear of the town, which is really fascinating!" ”

"The formation is naturally not small, don't look at the use of only one brigade, but several places have drawn troops, but it can barely be called a national war." The marshal's expression was still very calm, and even a little unfathomable, "It's just that this kid Zhao Song is going to take the lead!" ”

Li Jingsi heard a little envy in the marshal's tone. But this is also normal, now in the past few years, under the continuous blows of the marshal and the soldiers under his command, the Jianzhou Jurchens have become completely out of the climate, they hid in the deep mountains and old forests, living a life like savages, and even split into several small forces to fight each other, and have long been unable to bring any threat to the Han, in recent years, the Han army is every spring and summer when the weather is good, send some small-scale troops to the north to clear out, just like hunting.

In this case, Liaodong, which had not fought a big battle and had become calm, naturally made the marshal feel a little bored, but envied Zhao Song, who could lead a brigade of soldiers abroad to fight.

"Zhao Luzheng is shrewd and resolute, and he is brave enough to lead people, using him to lead troops, it can be seen that His Majesty knows how to use people well." Although he knew the marshal's thoughts, Li Jingsi didn't dare to ridicule Zhao Song like him, "Zhao Song is a general under the marshal's account, and the troops directly under the marshal are also under the marshal's command, they can make meritorious contributions, and the marshal should be ......gratified."

"Huh...... Zhao Song can fight, but he has always been running on land before, and now he wants to run to the sea, isn't he just a blind man touching an elephant? and his regiment, which is unambiguous in fighting, but it has always been running on land, and I don't know how many people have never even done a boat...... Where does it mean to play well if you play well? The corners of the marshal's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was smiling, "They can fight well, it's good if they don't make a fool of me, where do you dare to expect too much!" ”

Although the marshal was picking on Zhao Song and his troops, his expression was very relaxed, obviously although he saw the problem, he was still very confident in Zhao Song and his troops, and felt that they could overcome all difficulties and win victory for the Han Dynasty.

"Brigade Zhao has been under the command of the marshal for a long time, and I don't know how much I learned from the marshal in the art of war, how can I not know how to adapt measures to local conditions?"
