Li Chengjing personally sent Liao Zhongying to the city gate, "Zhongying, this time there is a lot of inconvenience, next time I hope you will come to see me simply as a friend, and we will have a good time." ”

Liao Zhongying sighed: "It's a pity that we can't sit together and drink like before." ”

"In troubled times, this day is inevitable."

"I suddenly remembered the first time we drank at Taifeng Restaurant, and Baoyi's evaluation of the three of you, he said that you are like a generalissimo commanding soldiers and horses, and now it has really come true. Cheng Jing, let me ask you one thing, I hope you will answer truthfully, now that you are sitting in Zhongnan, do you really have a sense of accomplishment in your heart? Ambitious and want to get more territory? ”

Li Chengjing's heart was at a loss, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Take care ......"

On the way back, Li Chengjing's mind was echoing Liao Zhongying's words...... When he returned to the Shuaifu, the three armies were ready, and Li Chengjing ordered the squad to return to Ningzhou.

Walking on the road of her own conquest, thinking back on the war in the past two years, at the beginning, Li Chengjing won Wen Qiong with a lot of anger, but the subsequent battle situation was not as smooth as she imagined, and she was even counterattacked by Yin Jun for a time, and almost had to retreat to Tongyang Pass. It was her father's hatred that dominated her to persevere, and after a half-year confrontation, she finally ushered in a new fighter plane and won the final victory.

The army marched to the outside of Ningzhou City, and along both sides of the city gate stood full of people, holding colorful flags and shouting in their mouths, welcoming their marshal to return triumphantly, and the team lined up all the way from outside the city to the marshal's mansion. Li Chengjing has just arrived on the front foot, and her appointment letter has also arrived on the back foot, the so-called appointment letter is just used for superficial work, how can there be the slightest constraint on her, but it just makes the world enter a period of short equilibrium.

Li Chengjing went to her father's tablet and lit two incense sticks, telling him that his father had avenged him, unified the central and southern regions, and preliminarily fulfilled his last wish.

The magnificent hegemony, the pride of thousands of feet, Li Chengjing's words came out, but she felt a void in her heart, but there was no happiness at all. inadvertently remembered Liao Zhongying's words, is this really what she wants most? Does she really want to be the ruler of the land?

She couldn't help but think of Chen Zui, what she wanted had been lost forever...... On the day they broke up, Li Chengjing wanted to tell Chen Zui in her heart that she loved him far better than Jiangshan Sheji, but she was defeated by an inescapable fate.

After a short period of depression, Li Chengjing forced herself to come to her senses, now she has no choice, if she gives up everything, it means death, she can no longer recall the past that cannot be changed, what she has to think about is how to make herself stronger, in order to annex the remaining two warlords.

A month later, Li Chengjing convened a group of generals to discuss the relocation of the capital to Wenqiong, and the proposal was opposed by some conservatives, who believed that Ningzhou was the foundation of the Li family, which had been in business for a long time, and that abandoning it and opening up a new capital was tantamount to self-destruction. The other part believes that it is not possible to move the capital, and that Wen Qiong should be vigorously managed first, wait until three or five years, and then move when the time is ripe, rather than rashly shaking the foundation of the Li family.

Li Chengjing has her considerations, she does this for the sake of the overall situation, after the reunification of Central and South China, she can't just care about the development of South China, she must make the entire Central and South China rich and strong, in order to lay a solid foundation for the future hegemony, if you only open up the territory and do not develop, then you will eventually gain and lose.

Wenqiong is located in the atrium of Zhongnan, and it is the main road that runs through the north and south, it is Yin Shouji's rampant conquest and tyranny, so that Wenqiong and even the entire Central China economic depression, she moved the capital Wenqiong in order to be able to take into account the entire central and southern China, so that it can develop in a balanced manner, and secondly, it can look down on the southwest and the north, and always pay attention to the movements of the two families of the White and Song Dynasty, and Ningzhou does not have this superior geographical condition.

After nearly ten days of discussion, Li Chengjing and the generals decided to move the capital to Wenqiong in three months.

Li Chengjing issued several more orders; Second, the post-war depression in Central China and the need for new ones will be provided by the Li family for farmers who are willing to move to Central China to cultivate and farm, and the land will be exempted from land rent for three years; third, as long as the businessmen who have a certain foundation in South China are willing to develop in Central China, Li Jiajun will also provide economic support, and there will be successful people from all walks of life, all of whom will give them certain support; fourth, they will have favorable conditions for joining the army and encourage young people to join the army.

It is also time for Yin Shouji to take the people's fat and people's ointment from the people and use it for the people.

As soon as the decree came out, there were many people who signed up, and Li Chengjing ordered the commanders of all localities to be extremely strict in checking and screening, and there should be no indiscriminate fillers, and the commanders of all localities did not dare to slack off.

Three months later, Li Chengjing appointed Commander Wang to hold on to Ningzhou and lead a million soldiers and civilians to move the capital to Wenqiong.

One day, Li Chengjing was dressed in civilian clothes and rode out of the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion alone, she first went to inspect the fields, and under the bright sun, she saw that the farmers were working hard, the sweat of beans was shaking off their foreheads and faces, dripping on the soil, and their clothes were also soaked, but they saw a good harvest and satisfaction from their expressions.

In the afternoon, Li Chengjing went to inspect the barracks again, the Li family was already generous to the soldiers, Li Chengjing increased their military pay and holidays on this basis, more and more young people came to join the army, and later, in order to avoid the expansion of the number, they had to raise the requirements.

The conditions are a lot more generous, but the soldier's drill is what Li Chengjing attaches the most importance to, and the difficulty of the soldier's drill is more than twice as difficult as before, and she wants to train her soldiers into an invincible and invincible iron-blooded army.

Li Chengjing was going to come to see how they were training today, and Commander Wang quickly gathered the soldiers to the school for drills, and during the two-hour parade, Li Chengjing just watched and didn't say a word, which made Commander Wang a little panicked. As soon as the parade was over, Commander Wang dared to ask, "What does the commander-in-chief think?" If they are not satisfied, I will order them to increase the difficulty of their practice. ”

Li Chengjing said: "I know you have done your best, this is not something that can be done overnight, as long as you continue to practice diligently and don't slack off, you don't have to increase the difficulty, I want to be strict and not cruel, what is the difference between that and the previous Yin Jun." ”

"That's what the Commander-in-Chief said."

Li Chengjing asked the soldiers to disperse, leaving several instructors to discuss the policy of training the troops, how to effectively and quickly train an army with full combat effectiveness...... This discussion reached eight o'clock in the evening, and Commander Wang wanted to send someone to send Li Chengjing back to his home, and Li Chengjing said that if she had to be escorted in her own capital, then she might as well be the commander-in-chief.

Li Chengjing was stopped by several soldiers as soon as she arrived at the city gate, she stopped at the horse, and a young soldier walked over to her and said sharply: "It's curfew time, you can't enter the city, you better come back tomorrow." ”

Li Chengjing looked at the time, after nine o'clock, this access time was set by her, this soldier was right to be loyal to her duty, she couldn't be blamed for stopping her horse, Wen Yan said: "I am the commander-in-chief, I inspected the barracks this afternoon, I missed the time, you let it go quickly, you are loyal to your duties, I will order you to be rewarded." ”

Unexpectedly, the soldier was motionless, and the other soldiers were also indifferent, these should be new recruits, so I didn't know her. Li Chengjing said again patiently, "I am really the commander-in-chief, you are open." ”

The soldier was still indifferent, and now Li Chengjing was a little annoyed, and was about to drink him to open the door. The soldier said, "You said you are the commander-in-chief, do you have a token to prove your identity?" ”

Li Chengjing took it out, remembering that she was on patrol in a micro-service today, and she didn't bring a token.

When the soldier saw that she could not take out anything, he said, "I have been ordered to guard the city gates, so I cannot neglect my duties and let others into the city without permission." You wait here, I will send someone to the barracks to ask Commander Wang, if you are really the commander-in-chief, I can let you in, otherwise it is a small matter to lose your position, but I can't afford to have something happen. ”

Li Chengjing's anger suddenly disappeared, the order of the access control was given by herself, and she also strictly ordered the three armies to abide by it, but as the commander-in-chief, she abused her power here, and how to serve the public. Dismounted, stood aside and waited, waiting for him to send someone to the barracks to confirm his identity before entering the city.

Suddenly, a bright light shone brightly, "Tuk Tuk," and a military vehicle drove towards the city gate. The soldier stepped forward again to stop, "Who's coming?" It's curfew time, why do you want to enter the city? ”

The man stretched out his neck, "I'm Staff Officer Xie, there is a delay in something, you open the city gate quickly." ”

Naturally, the soldier was unmoved.

Staff Officer Xie shouted, "You come here." Then he pulled out a sign, "You open your eyes and see if it's me, open the door." ”

"Staff Officer Xie is so powerful."

Li Chengjing's voice, how could Staff Officer Xie not know, so frightened that he climbed out of the car, "Total... Commander, why are you here? ”

"What does the order I issued say that it is strictly forbidden to enter the city after the curfew, and you can tell me if you are probing the enemy and thus missing the time?"

Staff Officer Xie shook his hands again and again, "The subordinate deserves to die, please forgive the commander-in-chief." ”

"What's your name? New to the situation? Li Chengjing asked the soldier.

"Back to the commander-in-chief's words, my name is Sun Ye, I have been in the army for two months, and I have just been sent to guard the city gate for two days, I am offended, please punish the commander-in-chief."

"You're right, it's my fault, even if you miss the time when you go to the barracks, you should make up the warrant for entering the city from Commander Wang." turned to Staff Officer Xie and said, "Regarding the access control, how do I stipulate it, you can tell me." ”

"Anyone who violates the gate shall be given a verbal warning and shall not be released, and those who knowingly violate the law shall be fined three months and a demerit once."

"Then you know what to do."

"The lower official will go to the Standing Department tomorrow to confess."

"Also, when you go to confess, write down my name by the way."

"The lower officials don't dare."

"It's an order." Li Chengjing shouted. "The three months you were fined will be taken out as usual, and all of them will belong to Sun Ye."

"The subordinate obeys."

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief."

Li Chengjing patted him on the shoulder, "You are very good, keep working hard, the Li family will not bury you." ”

Sun Ye immediately opened the city gate and let them in.

Li Chengjing rode back to her home slowly, and the streets in the city were brightly lit and lively, gradually showing a sign of prosperity.

A pair of young men and women passed by holding hands, and under the moonlight, the men and women were handsome, what a pair of beautiful people. The man said that he has always been angry and working hard to make money just to give the girl a better future, and now that he has the ability, he will go to the woman's house to propose marriage in the next two days. The girl smiled shyly and said that she had waited for him for so many years, and finally waited for this day, and that day, she would wait for him at home, just as she had waited for him to succeed for so many years.

Li Chengjing has never longed for such happiness, riding all the way, she is connected, although she can no longer have happiness, she wants to use her own hands to make her people happy.
