At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 166 Mianyang's first arrangement, the leader of the children's army, Sapphire

The meeting hall was silent.

"It seems that everyone is fine? If so, then..."

Cheng De's words stopped abruptly, and he looked at Shi Naian who suddenly came out of the crowd.

"General Qi, can the Propaganda Department give priority to the talents selected in this pilot imperial examination?"

As soon as Shi Naian said this, Li Shanchang and other department chiefs widened their eyes and looked at Shi Naian in disbelief.

They also wanted to choose first, but they were brought up by Shi Naian unexpectedly, and they couldn't help feeling a little nervous. They wanted to know how many people Shi Naian would choose if he had given priority.

Cheng De was silent for a while, looked at Shi Naian and said, "This matter will be discussed after the selection is over."

The other heads of departments present at the scene breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately the general did not agree to Shi Naian.

Shi Naian nodded, he already knew in his heart that the matter was almost done.

He knew that the Propaganda Department occupied an important position in the general's heart.

Seeing that the others had nothing else to say, Cheng De waved his hands and said, "The discussion is over today, if there are other things, we can discuss it tomorrow."

"Yes." Everyone present bowed and saluted in response.

Cheng De left the conference hall straight away and went to the study.

Just outside the study, Cheng De found Zhang Qijiu and Yang Zhongkai.

When they saw Cheng De, they saluted each other, and Cheng De let them follow into the study.

Cheng De just sat down at the desk, Zhang Qijiu took a step forward, lowered his head and said: "Report to the general, Jin Yiwei's spies have found Zhang Wusi's whereabouts."

Cheng De's eyes suddenly brightened, and he stared closely at Zhang Qijiu: "Where is it?"

"The area around Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces." Zhang Qijiu replied.

Hearing this, Cheng De couldn't help frowning: "When did you find out about this news?"

Zhang Qijiu: "According to the reports from the people below, Zhang Wusi himself appeared in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces half a month ago."

Cheng De: "Do you know what's going on with Zhang Wusi now?"

Zhang Qijiu: "I don't know at the moment."

Cheng De was silent, sighed and said: "The task I gave Zhang Wusi at the beginning was probably very difficult. I gave him a year, and now a few months have passed, maybe it hasn't been completed yet!"

Both Zhang Qijiu and Yang Zhongkai were silent, neither of them spoke.

The credo they pursue is that the general doesn't tell, they don't ask, and they stick to their respective duties.

Cheng De thought for a while. If the formation of the Ghost Guard is really completed, Zhang Wusi will definitely come back to his life.

Thinking of this, Cheng De stopped thinking about it, and turned his attention to Yang Zhongkai.

Yang Zhongkai seemed to have expected it, took out two documents from his arms, and handed them to Cheng De.

After Cheng De took it, he looked through it one by one.

The first document said that Gong Bosui's family members had been brought to Huai'an City, and in a few days, they would be brought to Sizhou City.

The second booklet said that Han Bogao's family had all settled down.

After Cheng De finished reading, he glanced at Yang Zhongkai: "Gong Bosui's family members need to be taken to Sizhou City as soon as possible. As for Han Bogao, there are many places worth using in the nomination certificate he presented. I will leave this kind of matter to you." I planned it. I think that the courtiers of the Yuan Dynasty may take advantage of the opportunity to seek benefits for our Sizhou army, in exchange for money or food or other things. You have to take full responsibility for this matter. If you can, general Yang Lian transferred back to Sizhou City to assist you."

Yang Zhongkai, who had been staring at Cheng De, nodded heavily at this moment.

Afterwards, Cheng De stared at Yang Zhongkai and Zhang Qijiu and asked, "Is there anything unusual about Zhu Yuanzhang? Has he recovered his memory?"

Zhang Qijiu didn't hesitate at all: "Reporting to the general, Zhu Yuanzhang is the same as before, and there is nothing unusual about him. The subordinate once bought someone to test him in private, but he didn't find anything unusual. According to the subordinate's opinion, it must be the same as before. There is no recovery of memory."

Cheng De tapped his desk with his fingers and fell into deep thought.

Zhu Yuanchao has not recovered his memory until now, presumably, he is no longer a threat to himself.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang is the head of a hundred households in Sizhou City, as long as he keeps a close eye on him, he must not be able to make any waves.

Perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang is a hero made by the times and a choice of history.

So, by now, he himself should be a hero made by the times, but he doesn't know who will be able to rule the world in the future.

The road to the future has become treacherous.

Cheng De took a deep breath. He thought that he must unswervingly insist on expelling the Hulu and restoring China as his mission.

History has always been that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

Since he stepped into the world competition, he has no other choice but to keep going.

"Zhu Yuanzhang, continue to keep an eye on him secretly, and his words and deeds must not be let go." Cheng De suddenly said to Zhang Qijiu.

"Yes." Zhang Qijiu bowed his head and replied.

Although he didn't understand why the general valued Zhu Yuanzhang so much, he knew that this matter seemed extremely important to the general.

It seems that he needs to arrange some henchmen to keep a close eye on Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang has attracted Zhang Qijiu's highest attention.

The general asked Zhu Yuanzhang's situation many times. If he didn't understand, then he would be a commander in vain.

Zhang Qijiu has already realized that staring at Zhu Yuanzhang to death is a long-term and important task.

As long as this matter is done well, I am afraid it will be a great achievement.

"When I'm not in Sizhou City, is everything okay in Sizhou City?" Cheng De's eyes swept over Zhang Qijiu and Yang Zhongkai one by one.

Zhang Qijiu took the lead in replying: "Reporting to General, during this period, Jin Yiwei found more than a dozen spies, some of these spies were from Yuan Dynasty Tuotuo, some were from Tianwan Xu Shouhui, and some were from Liu Futong's Red Scarf Army. , and some from Zhang Shicheng's people. At present, these spies have all been detained in Sizhou City Jinyiwei Qianhu Prison."

Cheng De's eyes were fixed, and his tone turned cold: "See if we can torture them to find useful information. If there is no information, we will kill them directly. In addition, I remember the Tianwan site and Liu Futong's side. We didn't Send people to their territory. Since that's the case, plug these two gaps now. Jinyiwei, and Jueshengwei, each of you send a group of people to lurk on Xu Shouhui and Liu Futong's side."

Suddenly, Cheng De thought of a person in the Tianwan regime at this time——Chen Youliang.

He vaguely remembered that Chen Youliang killed Ni Wenjun in history, it seemed that it was in Mianyang, which was Chen Youliang's stronghold.

Thinking of this, Cheng De thought again and again, his face suddenly became extremely solemn, he looked at Zhang Qijiu and Yang Zhongkai: "Besides, I entrust you two with an extremely important task."

Zhang Qijiu and Yang Zhongkai, when they saw Cheng De's sudden serious expression, they froze, looked closely at Cheng De, and waited for the next sentence.

Cheng De said unhurriedly: "Jinyiwei, and Jueshengwei, each of you personally select [-] trustworthy and stable people, and let them lurk in Mianyang for a long time."

Zhang Qijiu looked puzzled, and looked at Cheng De: "General, I don't know what to do lurking in Mianyang?"

Cheng De: "Let them secretly search for a man named Chen Youliang in Mianyang. If they find out about this person, they will try their best to join this man named Chen Youliang and try to become Chen Youliang's direct lineage. As for why this task is arranged , you don’t need to ask any more questions, just do what I want. If this matter is done successfully, I will give each of you a big credit. Why is it a big credit? You will naturally know later. Just remember, this matter must be done, in the future the world will be pacified, and it will not be difficult for you to be named Marquis."

Zhang Qijiu and Yang Zhongkai's eyes widened, they couldn't help but get excited, and kept nodding their heads.

"This matter must be kept secret. Those who performed this task wrote their names and the names of their relatives in documents and presented them to me. Those who participated in this matter, their relatives, since they participated in this matter From the beginning, they are all supported by my General’s Mansion. Their relatives’ food, clothing, housing, transportation, and children’s education are all taken care of by my General’s Mansion. If there is an accident due to their participation in this matter, when the world is pacified in the future, I will Posthumously confer titles on them, and designate their relatives to inherit their Marquis titles."

Zhang Qijiu and Yang Zhongkai had shock written all over their faces.

At this moment, Zhang Qijiu said: "General, can I let my relatives carry it out?"

Yang Zhongkai on the side was also at this moment, looking deeply at Cheng De.

Cheng De pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Yes. Both of you can send a relative to carry out the task. I hope that even if you choose relatives, you will also consider ability and character as the direction of consideration."

"Which relative do you two choose to go?" Cheng De suddenly asked Zhang Qijiu and Yang Zhongkai.

Zhang Qijiu: "Report to General, I want my nephew Zhang Jiuyi to go."

Yang Zhongkai took out a writing brush and a piece of paper from his pocket. Holding the writing brush, he quickly wrote a name on the paper: Yang Wen.

After Cheng De found out, he said, "Yes. I already know."

Seeing the excitement on the faces of Zhang Qijiu and Yang Zhongkai, Cheng De suddenly said: "In order to ensure the safety of this matter, I hope that the twenty people you each choose will not know each other."

Zhang Qijiu and Yang Zhongkai's expressions changed.

But soon, both Zhang Qijiu and Yang Zhongkai figured it out.

This matter, high risk, has high reward.

This is normal.

I just don't know, how many people will survive in the end?
After Cheng De finished speaking, he told Zhang Qijiu and Yang Zhongkai: "Don't say a word to outsiders about what we are talking about today, remember to keep it secret."

Zhang Qijiu and Yang Zhongkai both nodded.

Cheng De: "Since this is the case, you should go down and deal with this matter properly!"

After Zhang Qijiu and Yang Zhongkai each saluted, they left the study.

Watching Zhang Qijiu and Yang Zhongkai leave, Cheng De thought about Chen Youliang, who deserves attention from the Tianwan regime. Now that the arrangement has been made in advance, there may be unexpected gains in the decisive battle in the future.

As for Liu Futong and Xu Shouhui, both Jinyiwei and Jueshengwei went to inquire about information, and they might also play some important roles.

As for the formation of Zhang Wusi's ghost guard, it seems that it cannot be completed in the short term.

Thinking that Zhang Wusi had gone to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, Cheng De suddenly felt dizzy.

I don't know how many people have been recruited by the ghost guard under Zhang Wusi's current control?

At this moment, Cheng De inadvertently noticed two sneaky little heads sticking out from the door of the study.

Seeing that it was Mu Ying and Xu Sima, Cheng De said with a serious face: "You two are so sneaky, what do you want?"

Seeing this, Mu Ying and Xu Sima shrugged their heads, walked in, and knelt in front of Cheng De.

Cheng De's puzzled eyes fell on Mu Ying and Xu Sima.

"Father, I want to go to the battlefield with my father." Mu Ying lowered her head, looked at the ground, her voice was a little flinching.

"Father, and me!" Xu Sima lowered his head, secretly glanced at Cheng De's face, and spoke in a very soft tone.

When Cheng De heard what the two said, he said angrily: "Nonsense! It's just nonsense! There are no eyes for swords and guns on the battlefield. Do you think the battlefield is a joke?"

Mu Ying and Xu Sima trembled, their heads lowered even lower.

Seeing that the two were silent, Cheng De calmed down a little: "Muying, and Ma'er, tell me, why do you have such thoughts?"

Mu Ying raised her head slowly, a trace of stubbornness flashed in her eyes: "Returning to foster father, firstly, I want to share some things for foster father, and secondly, I really like the feeling of killing enemies on the battlefield."

Xu Sima also said at this time: "Me too."

However, Xu Sima's tone was very light, and he seemed very lacking in confidence.

Cheng De stared at Mu Ying and Xu Sima with a dark face: "You two are still too young now. I will solve the matters on the battlefield by myself. I don't need your help for the time being. Just do your homework well."

Mu Ying and Xu Sima were silent there.

Their silence represented silent resistance, Cheng De understood.

Cheng De rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little headache.

After thinking for a moment, a light suddenly flashed in my mind, and my eyes suddenly brightened.

"Sizhou Military Academy, how many people are there?" Cheng De suddenly asked.

Mu Ying and Xu Sima were startled, and they all said in unison: "Now there are 4000 people."

Cheng De was stunned: "There are already 4000 people? I didn't expect that Sizhou Military Academy would develop so fast."

After finishing speaking, Cheng De stared at Mu Ying and Xu Sima, and Mu Ying and Xu Sima felt uneasy for no reason.

"Does your adoptive mother know about this?" Cheng De asked Mu Ying and Xu Sima.

Mu Ying and Xu Sima shook their heads.

Cheng De looked at Mu Ying and Xu Sima with an unfriendly expression: "You guys will really embarrass me! If your stepmother finds out about this matter, maybe she will do something to me! I guess, you won't bother with it for a few months. I."

Mu Ying and Xu Sima looked ashamed and lowered their heads even more.

"It is impossible for you to go to the battlefield now. Even if I agree, your adoptive mother will not agree. Even if your adoptive mother agrees, the generals and soldiers of the Sizhou Army will not agree. That's all right, I will use Sizhou military There are more than 4000 students in the college, and they set up a children's army. The leader is Lan Yu, and Mu Ying and Ma'er are both deputy generals. I will talk to He Jiusi about this matter. Regarding the establishment of the children's army, the two of you and Sapphire is discussing what to do."

"First of all, let me tell you that your children's army will never go to the battlefield for the time being. There is only one thing you have to do, and that is to train continuously, learn more about the art of war, and the skills you must master when you go to the battlefield."

"Secondly, regarding your helmets and pitch-black battle armors, after finishing the imperial examination, I will have someone order a copy for you at Sizhou Military Academy."

"Finally, the homework of the two of you must not be left behind. From now on, I will randomly check your homework every three days. If anyone does not finish well, I will serve you with sticks. By the way, the sapphire will also be handed over to you." Call, I will spot-check the homework of the three of you. Just spot-check in this study."

After hearing Cheng De's words, Mu Ying and Xu Sima were dumbfounded. Seeing Cheng De's dark face, they had no choice but to agree.

They were very disappointed at first, but when they heard that their adoptive father Cheng De had brought Sapphire with them, they suddenly stopped panicking and were secretly happy instead.

Others don't understand Lan Yu, they follow behind Lan Yu every day, how can they still not understand him, they know the root and the bottom.

Although Sapphire has memorized all the Four Books and Five Classics, it is only in terms of understanding that there is a problem.

They believed that among the three, Sapphire must be at the bottom, so that they would not have to be served with sticks.

Thinking of this, Mu Ying and Xu Sima looked at each other with a tacit understanding, as if to say: "Let's tell Lan Yu the good news later."

Cheng De paid close attention to Mu Ying and Xu Sima's small actions, and he just waved his hands: "Both of you, get out of here! I don't want to see you now! I'm upset!"

Mu Ying and Xu Sima were obedient, not daring to say anything, and hurriedly retreated.

When she walked outside the door of the study, Mu Ying suddenly turned her head and said to Cheng De: "By the way, adoptive father and adoptive mother asked me to come to you and say that I have something to discuss with you."

After finishing speaking, Mu Ying and Xu Sima ran away in a hurry.

Cheng De became suspicious, what would Ma Xiuying do if he came to him?

Cheng De, who couldn't think of a clue, simply stopped thinking about it, but stood up, with his hands behind his back, and walked towards Ma Xiuying's room.

Just as Cheng De walked out of the study, a person came to meet him——He Jiusi.

Seeing He Jiusi, Cheng De had no choice but to stop and look at He Jiusi.

He Jiusi bowed to Cheng De, "General, is the notice pasted in front of the city gate true?"

When He Jiusi asked about this, Cheng De replied, "Of course it's true. Is there any problem with this?"

He Jiusi looked at Cheng De and said, "General, this notice has something about medical soldiers, and this subordinate thinks it needs to be carefully considered."

Cheng De looked at He Jiusi in surprise: "Tell me, I'll listen."

He Jiusi took a deep breath: "General, the number of soldiers and horses in my Sizhou City is about [-]. According to the general's previous order to increase the number of troops, it is necessary to increase the number of troops to [-] within a month. The original [-] The number of soldiers can be completed. Now that there are more medical soldiers, I am afraid it will be a little difficult."

Cheng De was startled: "So far, how many soldiers have been recruited?"

He Jiusi: "At present, more than 1 troops have been added, and there are nearly [-] more. However, this is not a problem. One month is enough."

Cheng De: "Then why do you say that 5000 medical soldiers are not enough? As far as I know, the population of the entire Sizhou City is still quite enough."

He Jiusi: "Actually, it's mainly those old soldiers who are rough people. They can't do delicate work like medical soldiers. The subordinates thought it would be better to recruit elsewhere. After increasing the army to [-], it is indeed difficult to get [-] medical soldiers, and secondly, the requirements for medical soldiers are even higher."

Cheng De: "I already understand what you mean. Then recruit as many recruits as you can in Sizhou City first. If it is not enough, you can recruit in other places later. The main thing is to increase the number of Sizhou troops to 5000. Once things are done well, [-] medical soldiers will not be enough.”

He Jiusi breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, this matter, the increase of the Sizhou Army to [-] troops, my subordinates will definitely handle it well."

Cheng De nodded: "That's all right, that's it. By the way, I'll give you a greeting in advance. With the current 4000 people in the Sizhou Military Academy, we will set up a children's army. The current leader is Lan Yu, and the deputy is Mu Yinghe. Xu Sima, you should spend more time in the future and help me keep an eye on them."

He Jiusi nodded emphatically: "The subordinates will definitely be optimistic about them."

"Well. Go down and get busy first! Sister Xiuying has something to discuss with me!" After Cheng De finished speaking, he continued to walk in the direction of Ma Xiuying's room.

He Jiusi looked at Cheng De's back, opened his mouth, and fell silent.

Originally, he came to Cheng De this time to intercede for a brother who had sworn sworn brothers in the past.

Because this brother made a mistake. During his tenure, he embezzled a lot of money. As a result, the incident happened and he was thrown into prison. He is currently being tried by Zhu Sheng, the head of the criminal department.

He also asked Zhu Sheng in private, if the sentence is based on the "Sizhou Law", I am afraid that this sworn brother can be beheaded.

Hey, this thing is really difficult.

On the one hand, there is the friendship of brothers and sworn brothers, on the other hand, the authority and justice of "Sizhou Law".

He Jiusi also knew that if he told Cheng De about this, he might embarrass his elder brother Cheng De.

But he can't help it. The mother-in-law who is sworn brothers drags the parents who are sworn brothers to find him to plead for mercy. What can he do?

Hey, trouble!
It seems that I can only find another opportunity to talk to my eldest brother.
