"Back to the capital?" Zhao Huizu smiled, there was a little bitterness in his smile, he raised his glass and took a sip, exhaled the wine and said, "This wine is good." ”

The wine is not a good wine, but it is not a bad wine, but it has a high degree and is most suitable for the winter in Liaodong.

Zhang Junneng glanced at Zhao Huizu and naturally knew the meaning of his words.

is not the eldest son, and cannot inherit the title; It seems that there is still a new policy in the imperial court, and the succession to the title is not as simple as it used to be.

Zhang Zongbao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you go back to the capital or not, we are all military officers, and the salary is enough to support ourselves." ”

Saying that, he teased Zhao Huizu again: "Have you ever thought about retiring and settling down in Liaodong and marrying a daughter-in-law to live a good life?" ”

Zhao Huizu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't make trouble." If you dare to do this, my mother can come from the capital to kill me. ”

"I, I'm ......" Zhang Junneng laughed so much that he almost squirted wine, pointing at Zhao Huizu and trembling.

Change is imperceptible and subtle. Mixed with the military and men all day long, these three people are no longer the gentlemen of the capital.

Zhao Huizu and Zhang Junneng also laughed, they did not regret it, although their words and deeds were the same as those of a vulgar military man.

What you can see every day are comrades-in-arms, and they are robes fighting side by side.

There are many people who can no longer be seen and can't sit here with them to drink wine and eat meat for the New Year; There are many people who have left the army with disabilities and injuries......

"Lao Zhang married his daughter-in-law, and his home is in Jinzhou." Zhao Huizu suddenly said with emotion: "I don't have an arm, but I still rush to transport supplies." ”

Zhang Junneng nodded and said: "I also saw him, he said that he was doing well, and his daughter-in-law was about to give birth in the spring, I hope it is a son, and I can help him work when he grows up." ”

Zhang Zongbao smiled and said, "It's a pity that I didn't see it." ”

"It's okay." Zhao Huizu said: "Lao Zhang gave me the address, and when we have time, we will go to Jinzhou to see him." ”

"And his son." Zhang Junneng added, but he was a little unsure, "My daughter is not bad, old Zhang Lao said that his daughter-in-law is beautiful, and his daughter should not follow him." ”

Zhao Huizu nodded, and a woman's face suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but lose his mind for a while.

I don't know if she still lives on that island and is still catching the sea. Or, they are married and even have children.

The woman's impression disappeared in a flash, and Zhao Huizu returned to normal. Over the years, his memory has been a little weak, and only occasionally remembering it will make him have a trace of complex emotions.

Liaodong is pacified, there will be no more wars, live a good life!

…………………….

The Spring Festival is not only the beginning of the year, but also the end of the year.

Because of Pingliao, this Spring Festival is extraordinarily different.

Whether it was Jiannu who fled north in a panic, or the officials, soldiers, and people of the Ming Dynasty, they were all planning for the new year.

Jiannu was trying to survive, and the officials, soldiers, and people of the Ming Dynasty were considering and preparing for new policies and new lives.

The enemy who posed the greatest threat and damage to the Ming Dynasty has lost the power to threaten damage, and there is no chance to resist in the reconstruction of Liaodong, which is about to begin vigorously.

Liaodong left 40,000 troops enough, and the rest of the troops were transferred to other border towns in the north. There are strong armies that have been baptized by war as models, and the Mongol tribes have tigers and rabbits to die, and the threat from the north is enough to deal with.

After the southwest counterinsurgency, 20,000 strong troops were transferred into Yunnan, and the Yunnan garrison was reorganized and trained within a year, and then Tusi men and horses were mobilized to launch a crusade against the Donghu Dynasty in Burma.

The Marine Corps was expanded to 15,000 men, and if they could successfully land, both the Spaniards in Luzon and the Dutch entrenched in the East Indies would be crushed or expelled.

The garrison of Mekong Province will exceed 10,000 this year, which is enough to crisscross the Indochina Peninsula and expand the largest grain base in the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor walked in front of the huge sand table, thinking, planning, his gaze was no longer limited to the Ming Dynasty.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, in the new year, the great disaster will be revealed, and the national policy of the Ming Empire will also change dramatically.

Plunder, a word that does not sound good, will be the main means of the Ming Dynasty in the future. Nanyang will be the focus of the Ming Empire.

"The Emperor." Li Chengcheng called softly, interrupting the emperor's thoughts, "It's time for you to eat." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded, his gaze stayed on the sand table for a moment before turning to leave.

Ten dishes have been placed on the table, the emperor smiled faintly, remembering a few years ago, Lao Wei swore to himself.

Jiannu is finished, the threat of the Ming Empire has been lifted, and the common people can enjoy peace again. The emperor just eats a hundred dishes per meal, so what's the matter?

What a poor luxury, does not exist. The key is to make sure that the people can eat, not how frugal you are.

And in the side hall, May and Zhao Dabao also sat at the table, enjoying the same ten dishes as the emperor.

This is May's wish, exactly the same as that "what are you eating?"

But May is not gluttonous, she is tasting. What is this dish, what is that dish, eat enough and never hold on.

"Can you slow down?" May raised her head and glanced at Zhao Dabao dissatisfiedly.

Zhao Dabao smiled, he was used to the number of May, and he didn't take it seriously at all, although the speed slowed down a little.

"I'll be in junior high school when school starts, when will you graduate from elementary school?" May ate unhurriedly and asked unhurriedly.

Zhao Dabao's chopsticks paused, thought about it very seriously, and said, "At the end of this year, I should be able to pass the graduation exam." ”

After a pause, Zhao Dabao said with some uncertainty: "But I don't want to go to junior high school anymore, primary school is almost enough." ”

May frowned, this is not the first time Zhao Dabao has said it, and she doesn't know if it's good or not.

Zhao Dabao put down his rice bowl, filled the soup, drank it slowly, and said, "I think it's good to learn a craft, and I can use it in the Academy of Sciences." I'm not as smart as you are, and I'm not as fast as you can learn to read and count. ”

"It's always good to read more." May pursed the corners of her mouth and persuaded: "Isn't it good to stay in Shaoying Courtyard for another two years, there is food and clothing." ”

Zhao Dabao was silent and didn't speak until he finished eating in May, when he got up and left, and said, "I'll go to the carpentry shop and build the car." ”

May nodded, walked to the desk in the corner of the hall and sat down, flipping through the book thoughtfully.

Adults have plans for adults, and children have ideas for children.

Zhao Dabao and May are not very old, but like most of the children in Shaoyingyuan, they have experienced bereavement, hunger and cold, and they are more mature in their thinking and more thoughtful.

I'm in junior high school this year, and I can complete three years of school at most, right? And then, and then where to go, and what?

May thought, her eyes showing maturity that was not commensurate with her age.
