    Sirou looked at her mother in a daze, with tears streaming down her face; Concubine Chen also looked at her daughter in a daze, as if her soul had left her body, as if in a dream.  Qingtan walked out of the room. She pushed Sirou's shoulders and pushed her into the room. The moment the door closed, the mother and daughter in the room hugged each other and cried.  Qingtan couldn't help but caress her swollen belly. Concubine Chen and her daughter hadn't seen each other for several months, and they were worried and worried. She really left her flesh and blood and went back to the mountain gate to apologize. Wouldn't it be pitiful for a baby without a mother?  Mengyao left and came back again, walked to Qingtan and touched her belly.  Mengyao is eager to have a baby. She heard that having too much contact with pregnant women can easily lead to pregnancy.  "Qingtan, it's getting cold. Be careful of catching a cold. Go to my room and stay for a while." Mengyao took Qingtan's hand, "I also want to ask you a few questions." "Sister, please tell me." "What did you do?  Are you expecting a baby? Can you tell me some tips?" Mengyao sighed in distress.  Mengyao was indeed distressed. She originally wanted to "strike while the iron is hot" with her husband until she became pregnant. However, just now, she discovered that something was wrong with her.  Mengyao's period lasted for seven days each time, rain or shine, which meant that it was impossible to be intimate with Chen Xu in the following days.  Seven days, such a long day.  Especially thinking of the sense of crisis that Princess Sirou brought to her, Mengyao felt that these seven days were even longer.  The two left hand in hand, and the conversation between Concubine Chen and Princess Sirou was heard in the room.  "Sirou," Concubine Chen's words seemed a little difficult to say and she seemed unwilling to reveal her daughter's scars. "How have you been during the days when my mother is not with you?" After a pause.  She whispered again, "You are no longer a little girl." After Princess Sirou cried, all that was left was joy. She said somewhat innocently, "Mother, my daughter is no longer a little girl, she is an adult.  " "Motherthat's not what mother means." Princess Sirou woke up, her face gradually turned red, and she called out "mother" shyly.  Seeing her daughter's expression, Concubine Chen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.  As long as the daughter was not forced by someone, it would not be difficult for her to guess the identity of the person.  "Mom, if my daughter likes to be with him, she is willing to marry him and give him children." Sirou whispered into her mother's ear, "Brother Huang has promised to marry his daughter." Concubine Chen heard this.  , the first thing she thought of was Mengyao, things seemed a bit difficult Chen Xu and Yang Yunrui, who were lucky enough to "escape", came to the Ministry of War. After learning about the current situation in the capital, he realized that the situation was not very optimistic?  It is simply too unoptimistic and even pessimistic: first of all, there are no more than 100,000 soldiers and they are all old, weak, sick and pregnant. Pushing them to the battlefield can basically be summed up as meat buns beating dogs - they will never look back; secondly, the capital lacks  War horses, no food and grass.  According to the update, when hundreds of people rushed outside the Great Wall, it was still possible to fight and support the battle, but it is definitely not possible at this moment.  As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, food and fodder should go first. If there is no food and fodder, and they do not need it, Dayan's army will rebel first. Thirdly, the soldiers have no fighting spirit. This is particularly important. If they do not have the courage to fight to the death,  With determination, this battle will undoubtedly be defeated.  Yang Yunrui frowned and turned to look at Chen Xu.  Chen Xu was staring at the military defense map spread out in front of him in a daze.  "Here comes someone!" Chen Xu suddenly shouted.  The defeat of Tumubao made people in the capital panic. The common people were afraid of death, and the officials were even more afraid of death. They traveled thousands of miles to seek official positions just for money.  There is no hope of making money, and they run faster than the common people.  Anyway, enough is earned.  Just accept it as soon as you see fit.  The Minister of War, Kuang Ye, died in the earthen fort. Zuo Shilang was old. When he received the news of the imperial defeat, his inner excitement caused his blood pressure to rise. He decisively followed the footsteps of the late emperor and passed away.  After Si Guangguang died, the right minister was supposed to have a prosperous official career, but he actually felt like a rabbit was dead and a fox was sad. He packed up his belongings and left the capital decisively.  The leaders have all run away, let alone the subordinates?  The "organization" of the Ministry of War was not complete. Chen Xu called once, but no one answered. He called again, but still no one answered.  Yang Yunrui shook his head helplessly, "What are you asking people to do? Just order me for the time being." "I want pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Looking at Yang Yunrui's expression, Chen Xu couldn't help but smile, "You can do it yourself and have enough food and clothing. Why do I feel that we are officials?"  It¡¯s so frustrating.¡± Yang Yunrui: ¡°¡­¡± The two of them rummaged through their boxes and found that there was no pen and ink available for such a large military department.  "Master Chen, General Yang, what are you looking for?" Chen Xu turned to look at the middle-aged man standing at the door.  There is no certain proportion between a man's appearance and his age. Chen Xu guessed that the person coming was at least forty, maybe fifty, but one thing was certain, this person was much older than him.  His name is Wu Ning, whose courtesy name is Yongqing. He is currently a doctor in the Ministry of War.  When Chen Xu looked at Wu Ning, Wu Ning also looked at him.  In fact, he heard Chen Xu's first "come" call.  HearBut there was no answer. Mr. Wu was resentful in his heart.  Thirteen years ago, Wu Ning was transferred from the head of the Arsenal Department to Fang Langzhong. He was in charge of the maps of various provinces, military attach¨¦s' narration of merits, review of merits, rewards and punishments, and pensions. He was diligent and hard-working and never complained.  He longs for promotion but remains stagnant.  Shang, the left and right ministers, died and fled. Wu Ning thought that even if he was a monkey, if there were no tigers in the mountain of the Ministry of War, he could still be called a king.  Even if I can't work as Lai Shang, I still have to work for a servant?  ¡°It¡¯s a pity that Mr. Wu was disappointed again.  The emperor put a young boy with a yellow mouth in charge of the Ministry of War, especially this guy who relies on "nepotism" to hold the position. This is simply taking the country's future as a child's play.  The court raised objections, but the objections were ineffective. Master Wu could not help but be passive and sabotage: There is no hope for Dayan. Leave as soon as possible. It is better to return home as an official than to be a slave of the country.  After the morning meeting, Mr. Wu had already ordered his family members to tidy up their belongings. He had already typed up his "resignation letter" and was so upset that he unknowingly came to the office of the Ministry of War.  The emperor appointed Chen Xu as the Minister of War. As for the assistant ministers, the emperor has not officially appointed him. He hopes that Chen Xu will recommend him. Lord Wu would like to know who he will be.  "Is there no one in the Ministry of War?" Wu Ning wrote his disdain on his face, Chen Xu raised his eyebrows and asked sarcastically.  "Master Shang's words are wrong." Wu Ning was even more disdainful.  He said pointedly, "I remember when Kuang Laoshang was in charge of the Ministry of War. He gave an order and answered hundreds of promises, and there were so many talents." "Do you think I am not worthy of sitting in this position?" Chen Xu's smile remained unchanged, and he asked straight to the point.  .  "I don't dare to be a lower-ranking official!" Wu Ning said he didn't dare, but he just slightly bowed his hand.  Yang Yunrui stood with his arms folded. He looked at Wu Ning a little funny. This Master Wu has good abilities, but when it comes to conspiracy and tricks.  He can't even catch up with Lao San.  "Third brother, I will borrow Lin Mu and the others now." At this moment, Feng Che and Lin Mu walked in one after another.  "Don't worry, I have something for Lin Mu to take care of." After finishing speaking.  Chen Xu made a few gestures to Lin Mu, and Lin Mu nodded and followed the order.  "Third brother, let Lin Mu investigate" Feng Che looked at Chen Xu and then at Wu Ning, and he asked curiously.  Chen Xu suddenly stopped him, "Stop talking nonsense, help me find pen, ink, paper and inkstone first." After a pause, he looked at Wu Ning again, "Master Wu, are you interested in staying a little longer? Maybe later.  There are unexpected gains." "Master Chen said so. Let's wait and see." Chen Xu found the four treasures of the study, spread out the rice paper on the table, and put the brush dipped in thick ink on the paper.  Yang Yunrui and the others watched intently. Master Wu initially thought that Chen Xu was going to write the character "Ò»", but he did not expect that Chen Xu's stroke would be very long.  "It's just uncomfortable to draw forms with a brush." ??After picking up the brush, Chen Xu looked at the uneven horizontal lines on the rice paper and sighed.  "Lao San, what form is it?" "You'll know it later." Chen Xu drew while talking, and a two-dimensional form was formed on the rice paper.  Chen Xu included the standard serial numbers and corresponding content in the first row and column of the form. He divided the form into several different modules, namely manpower preparation, financial status, weapons financing, food reserves and transportation, public opinion propaganda, etc.  "Third brother. What are you doing?" "List the preparations I have to do one by one, so that there are no omissions in the overall planning," Chen Xu looked up and said, "There are many factors that affect the success or failure of a war.  . Any omission of details may lead to failure. How can I not be cautious when taking charge of the army for the first time?" "This method is indeed clear at a glance, I think you always have some strange ideas." Wu Ning looked at it.  What Chen Xu wrote, the disdain on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a kind of disbelief.  Although Chen Xu's calligraphy is ugly, these pieces of paper are very valuable. It seems that this little guy is not without merit.  " Urgently mobilize the troops preparing for war in Beijing and Henan, the troops preparing for Japan along the coast, the officers and soldiers transporting grain from the prefectures in Jiangbei and Peiping, and the troops stationed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas to Beijing, and order officials to be dispatched to Gyeonggi, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and other places  Recruit soldiers and conduct emergency training to prepare for replenishment" Wu Ning's eyes followed Chen Xu's handwriting, and his expression became more solemn. Is Chen Xu really only seventeen years old?  The comprehensiveness of thinking about the problem is breathtaking. Even he may have to accept the defeat.  Wu Ning suddenly understood His Majesty the Emperor's intentions.  "Boss, how many people are there in the garrison in various places plus the army in the capital?" Feng Che asked Yang Yunrui. Yang Yunrui pondered for a moment and said, "It won't be less than 200,000." "Third brother, we already have 200,000 people, so let's start with  AlsoWith more than tens of thousands of people, you already have a sufficient advantage in military strength. Why do you still need to recruit soldiers?  " "There are nine gates in the capital, and two hundred thousand people guard the nine gates. How many people can be at each gate?  On average, what do you think our chances of winning are?  Feng Che thought for a while, "It is better to defend than to attack. Why don't we lead a large army to go out and annihilate the main force first, and the danger of the capital will be relieved."  Yang Yunrui replied: "Do you know where Ye Xian's main force is?"  You can't underestimate the mobility of the Wala Cavalry. We may be led by the nose by then.  Moreover, our military elite has been wiped out, and the situation is not serious.  " Feng Che: "Then what are our chances of winning?  " Neither Chen Xu nor Yang Yunrui, no one answered his question. An hour later, Lin Mu came back. He handed a stack of white paper full of writing into Chen Xu's hand. Chen Xu glanced at it, and he  Then he handed it to Wu Ning, "Master Wu, I think you will be interested.  " Wu Ning took it over curiously. When he saw the first few words, his face changed drastically. When he turned the first page, his face turned purple To be continued.
