Chapter 578 Research Research
That night, the two military generals who had just been promoted to command envoys came to Shen's house for dinner as scheduled. After breakfast, Shen Yi invited them to his study to discuss the next step.

Master Shen was sitting on the main seat, and after seeing the two subordinates sitting down, he coughed and said slowly: "You two, you two can be directly promoted by His Majesty as commanders from Qianhu. Well, I don't need to say more about the reasons for this, but there are some things I still need to make clear to the two of you in advance."

Master Shen reached out and knocked on the table, and said: "Your Majesty does not have much time left for the anti-Japanese army. By the end of the tenth year of Hongde next year, the Japanese pirates in the coastal waters must be cleaned up, and all trade routes in the Yiying port must be opened up."

Master Shen looked calm: "You two think, can it be done?"

Xue Wei lowered his head slightly and did not speak, while Ling Su lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said: "My lord, among the provinces along the coast of Dachen, the number of Japanese pirates belonging to the east coast of Zhejiang is the largest and the most rampant. , Under your command, the Anti-Japanese Army has wiped out the Japanese pirates in eastern Zhejiang, and I believe that the remaining provinces are only a matter of time."

Hearing what Ling Su said, Shen Yi rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily: "What's the difference between what you said and what you didn't say?"

Ling Su smiled awkwardly, then lowered his head slightly and said, "My lord, I don't have any detailed information on Japanese pirates from other provinces. Naturally, I won't be able to come up with any ideas in a while."

"Um…"

Shen Yi nodded slightly, and then said: "There is some truth in what I said, so I will inform the Dibao Division and ask the Dibao Division to send the general situation of the pirates in Fujian and Guangdong to the two of you. Research and study, try to get a charter before we return to Yueqing."

Speaking of this, Master Shen glanced at the two people, and then continued: "One and a half years is not too long, if by the end of next year, the promise we made in front of His Majesty has not been fulfilled, then it will not only be I can't do business alone, I'm afraid the two of you will be sorry to promote your majesty, right?"

"Yes!"

The two stood up, and saluted Shen Yi with cupped fists: "Subordinates, please follow your lord's orders!"

"Ah."

Shen Yi glanced at the two of them again, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "You two, when are you going to leave for Yueqing? Have you thought about it?"

This time, Xue Wei finally had something to say. He bowed his head to Shen Yi and said, "My lord, I have discussed with Ling...Ling Shuai, and I will leave Jiankang and return to Yueqing early tomorrow morning..."

He was halfway through when he felt Ling Su tugging at his sleeve. Xue Wei looked back in confusion, only to see Ling Su bow his head in embarrassment and said, "My lord, our brothers are planning to go back early, but you You don't have to go back with us, you can stay in Jiankang for a while, and accompany your wife and young master."

Hearing Ling Su's words, Xue Wei's face turned dark.

You said all the co-authored words to flatter you? !
But he was angry, but he didn't refute, just bowed his head and said: "Yes, sir can stay in Jiankang for a while, the two of us will go back to Yueqing first, and handle some daily chores for you..."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, he glanced at the two of them, and said lightly: "This time, the three of us, because of the merits of suppressing the Japanese in Beiji Island, can be said to have been promoted by the court forcibly, but the rewards from the court cannot go to you. There are only three of me."

Master Shen continued: "Your Majesty has already clearly ordered that after I return to Yueqing, I will supplement the establishment of the Anti-Japanese Army, that is to say, the five thousand households under the two of you, and fifty Hundreds of households or trial hundred households must sort out a detailed list, submit it to the imperial court, and submit it to the Ministry of War."

Shen Yi glanced at the two of them, and asked, "Can the two of you handle this job?"

Even if Ling Xue and the two of them had no vision, they would not dare to compete with Shen Yi, a small boss, for such a great power to decide the personnel transfer of the local army, so the two shook their heads one after another.

"That's it, I have to go back to Yueqing to deal with these."

Master Shen lowered his head and thought for a while, then reached out and knocked on the table, and said, "I'm in Jiankang, and I still have some things to do, but it won't delay you for too long, so that's it..."

"Three days later, that is, the day after tomorrow, let's gather at the Nancheng Gate and set off to return to Yueqing, how about it?"

The two clasped their fists respectfully: "Yes, this subordinate obeys."

Master Shen stood up and stretched his waist: "Don't be idle these few days. Apart from combat missions, you can think about the arrangements for the candidates for your generals."

Shen Yi looked at Ling Su, then at Xue Wei, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Originally, Commander Ling was promoted to Commander, and the selection of generals should mainly refer to the opinions of Marshal Ling Wei, but this time we have to consider There are too many positions, and some generals were also brought up by Xue Wei, so let’s leave it at that..."

Master Shen pointed at Ling Su and coughed: "Ling Shuai will draw up [-]% of the list, that is, three thousand households will test thousands of households, thirty hundred households will test one hundred households, report to me, and the remaining two If there are [-] households and [-] hundred households, you will be recommended by Vice Marshal Xue."

Hearing that Shen Yi changed his name, both Ling Su and Xue Wei felt uncomfortable, and Xue Wei scratched his head in embarrassment: "My lord, you can just call me Xue Wei. I'm a second at home. Otherwise, you can call me Xue Er, this handsome man is not so handsome..."

"The subordinates feel uncomfortable when they hear it."

Ling Su coughed, and was about to answer, when he heard Master Shen say indifferently: "It doesn't matter between the three of us whether we call you or not, but we still need to be careful with the outside world. You two are already appointed by the court. Commander and Deputy Commander, you must maintain a certain majesty in front of outsiders, especially your subordinates, so that you can lead the army well."

After saying this, Master Shen looked up at the sky outside, and saw that it was completely dark, he yawned, and said, "Okay, it's getting late today, both of you Go back and rest first."

Shen Yi coughed and said sternly: "Remember to go back and think about the list of generals I mentioned. It is impossible for me to inspect all the generals by myself. Most of the opinions reported to the Ministry of War are the two of you."

"Be responsible to yourself."

Shen Yi said in a deep voice, "We must also be responsible to the imperial court."

The two immediately bowed their heads and said yes, then got up and bid farewell to Shen Yi.

In this way, Shen Yi personally sent the two subordinates to the door of his house, and waited until he watched the two disappear into the night before his wife's faint voice sounded behind him: "I don't know, I thought you were going to talk to them until dawn." Woolen cloth."

Shen Yi turned around and saw that Lu Ruoxi was holding a coat in his hand, and was about to put it on for himself. Shen Yi smiled, stepped forward and grabbed his wife's sleeve, and said with a smile: "It's just that there are some business matters to be explained, I don't know It took a while to talk."

Lu Ruoxi looked at Shen Yi, and asked, "When are you sure you're leaving?"

Shen Yi wrapped his arms around his wife's waist, and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about these spoilers, I saw a picture in a miscellaneous book yesterday that was quite interesting, let's go back to the room, and I will study it with my wife."

"What picture?"

After Lu Ruoxi said something like this, she suddenly realized that she said "ah", and her face immediately turned red.

"You hate..."

Master Shen chuckled, picked up his wife by the waist, and went back to his room to study Chinese classics...
