    Ever since what happened in the court, Guan Yingzhen has been in a very good mood, and his long-cherished wish finally has hope of coming true.  Although I might feel sorry for Zhao Xingbang and Wu Liangsi by doing this, they can't care about that much now.  Slowly pacing back and forth in the study room, going through the events in his mind, Guan Yingzhen felt a mixture of emotions in his heart.  He was also very hesitant, what should he do, and was his choice the right one?  "Master, there is a man outside who claims to be Mei Zhihuan and wants to see the master!" Just as Guan Yingzhen was thinking about it, the butler's voice sounded outside.  After pondering for a long time, Guan Yingzhen gently shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Let's go to the living room and serve tea!" In the first year of Tianqi, March 12th was a good time for weddings and funerals, and it was forbidden to move or move.  Since the last battle, Shenyang City has slowly returned to its original appearance, and the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood on the streets has slowly dissipated.  The houses in the north of the city have been built again, the places that were bombed have been repaired, and the trenches outside have been dug deeper and wider!  Gently pulling on the horse's reins and looking at the city in front of him, He Shixian laughed and said to Sun Chengzong beside him: "It's still comfortable to stay here. It seems that a lowly position means a lowly bone. There is no such thing as a blessed life!"  Pointing at He Shixian, Sun Chengzong said calmly: "You He Shixian have two things in your life. One is to fight, and the other is to drink. The rest doesn't matter!" He waved his horse whip vigorously, and He Shixian laughed and said: "It's still big.  Shuai understands me, but Shuai, it¡¯s more comfortable in the carriage, so you should go back!¡± Sun Chengzong gently shook his hand and said with a smile: ¡°Although I am not young, I can still ride this horse for a few years.  !" Looking back, He Shixian said worriedly: "Commander, what are those Jin Yiwei at the back doing here this time? Why do they look so unkind? Even those in the Jin Yiwei's low-level position think this person is very evil.  "Dangerous." Sun Chengzong shook his head slowly, and said happily: "No matter who is doing it, if He Shixian is asked to do his thing, you may not be able to do it, and you will definitely not be able to do it.  This is called knowing people and being responsible!" He Shixian nodded in understanding, and said with a smile: "I don't understand these humble positions, but I know that as long as I follow the commander, I won't suffer any consequences!" "Okay, don't say that!  That¡¯s it, let¡¯s go into the city! I believe the people in the city can¡¯t wait!¡± Sun Chengzong said with a smile as he hit the horse lightly.  "Yes! We have brought back all His Majesty's rewards this time. I believe Shenyang City will be like the Chinese New Year!" Looking at the convoy of gold and silver items behind him, He Shixian suddenly laughed loudly!  The group of people walked into Shenyang City and returned to the imperial mission. The first person who came to Shenyang City was You Shigong, the deputy commander-in-chief of Shenyang City.  Looking at He Shixian who was dressed in military uniform, You Shigong said with a smile: "It seems that this trip to the capital went well! Did you get a lot of rewards? Did you get a promotion?" He coughed hard, and He Shixian pinched his waist with both hands, feeling full.  He said with a smile on his face: "The person standing in front of you now is General Zhenguo, the second-grade Zhongyong Bohe Shixian!" He laughed loudly!  "Congratulations on your humble duty, general!" You Shigong said loudly, giving He Shixian a fist, with an excited smile on his face, and he was obviously extremely happy.  "The two generals are very happy!" While the two were talking, Sun Chengzong, who had just changed his clothes, walked out from behind and said with a smile.  Seeing Sun Chengzong, the two men saluted at the same time: "I have seen the commander-in-chief in my humble position!" Waved his hands, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Okay, we don't need to be too polite, let's do it all!" Wait until the three of us are divided.  After the guests and hosts were seated, Sun Chengzong smiled and said: "This time I returned to the capital and brought back the emperor's imperial edict. Tomorrow morning, all the military attach¨¦s above the seventh rank will gather in the school grounds. I will read out the edict in person. Then I will distribute the emperor's reward.  Then it¡¯s time to start the next thing!¡± ¡°Sir, what are we going to do next?¡± Seeing Sun Chengzong¡¯s seriousness, He Shixian couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously.  "The next thing is divided into two parts. The first is to clean up military discipline and verify the personnel in the army. Lay off all the old, weak, sick and disabled, and then reorganize and strengthen training! The second is to organize and train the new army.  The new army is a cavalry force, currently preparing for 30,000 troops, and it will definitely be expanded again in the future!" Sun Chengzong looked at the two men and said with a smile.  Hearing that 30,000 cavalry were to be established, both He Shixian and You Shigong looked excited. He Shixian immediately rubbed his hands, looked at Sun Chengzong with a smile, and said anxiously: "Commander, can I let this cavalry be carried by a humble official?  I also like to lead cavalry very much, and my ability is quite extraordinary!" Jian He Shi?Complimenting himself for not blushing at all, Sun Chengzong laughed a few times, and then said in a deep voice: "This matter still needs to be prepared for a while, and what we have to do next is to wait." "What are you waiting for? The art of military use is very important.  Just hurry up, it will be too late if you wait!" He Shixian couldn't help but said hurriedly when he saw that Sun Chengzong didn't look in a hurry.  "I don't want to wait, but I have to wait! Now we have no money. We need money to build cavalry and build shipyards. Don't these all require money? Do I have money? Do you He Shixian have money? Or does You Shigong have money?" Again  After looking at He Shixian angrily and funny, Sun Chengzong said with a smile.  The two people immediately looked at each other and pondered for a moment. He Shixian said hesitantly: "Commander, the reward given by the emperor this time is 700,000 taels of silver alone. If this money is used for military expenses, I believe we can raise a large army."  A team!" Looking at He Shixian quite seriously, Sun Chengzong's face darkened and he said solemnly: "You can only say this here once, and it won't happen again. It's not easy for soldiers to fight. They paid for this with their lives.  Money, how can we do that? There are also pensions for dead soldiers, and we can't touch them. From now on, Liaodong will not owe military pay. If any general dares to deduct military pay without permission.  , I will definitely kill you without mercy. When I announce the decree tomorrow, I will tell you this and clean up the military discipline. This matter of deducting military pay will be regarded as beheading!¡± He Shixian was a little embarrassed after hearing Sun Chengzong¡¯s words.  Gong quickly said: "Sir, that's not what General He meant. He is just anxious!" Gently patted He Shixian on the shoulder, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Of course I know General He's character, but you have to do this in this matter  Think about it, I will do this soon!" "Sir, where does this money come from? And what's going on with the shipyard?" You Shigong frowned and asked slowly.  "The purpose of building a shipyard is to build a new navy. Although our Ming Dynasty has a navy, most of it exists in name only. There are many places near the sea in Liaodong, and there are many rivers. A strong navy is very important. Over the years  There has never been a navy in Liaodong, but it was because the court had no money. This time, your majesty has made up his mind to build a very powerful navy!" Sun Chengzong smiled expectantly, obviously he was also very interested in shipbuilding.  It¡¯s expected!  Nodding slowly, You Shigong said in a deep voice: "It would be good if we could have a navy, but shipbuilding is more expensive than building a cavalry. If you want to build a navy with combat effectiveness,  Navy, if you don¡¯t have one million taels of silver, it¡¯s hard to do it! If you include training the navy, purchasing firearms, and all the expenses, there¡¯s nothing you can do if you don¡¯t have two million taels of silver!  Large warships are only medium-sized warships. These two million taels of silver can only build fifty warships, which can be enough to form a naval army!" Sun Chengzong glanced at You Shigong and nodded slowly.  He nodded and said with a smile: "I didn't realize that General You knew so much about this, but we don't need to worry about this. The emperor will send shipbuilding experts to the capital. Just like the foreigners who used cannons last time, this time there are also  Some of the foreigners are mostly craftsmen from the Nanjing Shipyard. Some of their ancestors also built Zheng He¡¯s treasure ships when they sailed to the West. I think there must be nothing wrong with the ships they built." You Shigong nodded loudly.  He said: "Okay! That's great! If we can have a strong navy, then we can do a lot more!" After a slight hesitation, You Shigong said worriedly: "But how do you get the money?  Huh? Your Majesty's internal treasury is not exhausted. It is estimated that it will cost five million taels of silver to reorganize the army, issue military pay, train cavalry, and build a shipyard.  "Although I don't know how much silver your Majesty has in his treasury, I'm afraid your Majesty won't be able to afford to spend so much money at once!" Sun Chengzong sighed deeply and said with some concern: "I also asked about this matter.  I asked the emperor, but the emperor didn't say anything. I also remember that the emperor was very determined at that time. The emperor said that even if the Forbidden City was demolished and sold, the money would be collected. I felt very uncomfortable. The Ming Dynasty was like this.  The deputy burden is on the emperor. The emperor is only sixteen years old! " "Commander, all we can do is to do our own thing well. For the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor, we are willing to shed our blood on the mountains of Liaodong.  Mountains and rivers! Even if you die in battle and are buried in horse leather, you will never regret your humble position!" After hearing Sun Chengzong's words, He Shixian knelt down in the direction of the capital and kowtowed three times!  Lifting up his clothes, Sun Chengzong also slowly knelt on the ground, touched his head to the ground, and said loudly: "If I can't handle the matter in Liaodong well, I won't have the face to return to the capital to see the emperor. I'll bury these bones in this place."  This Liaodong, let me guard this place for your Majesty for the rest of my life!" You Shi?At this time, he was also kneeling on the ground. He didn't say anything, but the expression on his face was very firm.  The three people's eyes met again, and each could see the determination in the other's eyes!  (To be continued.
