Chapter 1018 Following and Inheritance

In the main hall in the front hall of Chicheng Castle General's Office, Yongningbo Zhang Cheng and all the officials had a brief lunch, and continued to discuss the topic of the morning.

For the garrison and thousands of households in the castles on the North Road and East Road, this time, a certain degree of adjustment was also carried out. Among them, Chi Yuan, the garrison of Yunzhou, was transferred to the garrison of Chicheng, and the Carpenter Camp of Yunzhou is now moving along the Baihe River. South development, has already crossed the Red Castle.

In the past few years, Chi Yuan has devoted himself to doing things, not only protecting the safety of the craftsman camp, but also providing assistance to the craftsman camp in an all-round way. He has made great contributions to the development of the craftsman camp. He was promoted to guard Red Castle.

Ren Jilong, the former guard of Maying, was transferred to Dushibao, Liu Zhenzhou, a thousand household of Songshubao, was transferred to Yunzhou defense, Tian Zhenshang, a thousand households of Cangshangbao, was transferred to guard Maying, and Ma Zhong, a thousand household of Junzibao, was transferred to Longmen Office to replace Xu Jinyong.

Sha Zhongwang, the Qian Zong of the former Yongning Battalion, was not integrated into the expanded Sixth Battalion this time. There was no other reason. Zhang Cheng just wanted him to stay on the east road, so that Yan Qingrong, the commander of the Yongning Guard, could frighten the younger generation in the Guard Division. , making it afraid to do things.

Although Sha Zhongwang was bitter about not being incorporated into the war barracks, he didn't dare to speak to Yongning Bo himself. He just complained in front of his uncle Yan Qingrong, but he didn't dare to neglect the garrison of Yongning.

The reason why Zhang Cheng made such a big move to adjust the thousands of households and defenses in each fort was also to prevent them from staying in one place for a long time and forming a stubborn interest group with the local gentry and army, threatening his control of the North Road.

According to his idea, every three years, thousands of households and guards in various places should be rotated, and one person should not be allowed to work in one place for a long time, but he did not make it clear to everyone, but only implemented it first so that it gradually became a practice.

As the dinner time approached, various matters had been discussed in general, and the rest was on the specific implementation level. Any problems encountered would be resolved.

Since Zhang Cheng returned from the capital, he has been busy with military affairs and has not had time to spend with his family, so he did not leave everyone for dinner today, but left time for his family members.

…………

It has been more than ten months since Zhang Yuding came to this world, and now he is white and fat, with a pair of big black eyes, staring straight at Yongningbo Zhang Cheng.

"Big... big..."

The child was babbling non-stop.

Zhang Cheng's eyes were full of his father's love. He didn't like being called "Da Da" by his son, so he kept correcting him softly: "Dad... call him dad... quickly call him dad..."

His mother, Zhang Yangshi, hurriedly stopped him and said, "What's your name, dad? Mother thinks it's good to be old, and you can call your good grandson whatever you want!"

"Good, good, good."

Zhang Cheng responded repeatedly, and continued: "Mother agrees, that's fine."

Although he is a person who traveled from another world, the warmth of his family is also affecting him, perhaps because of family affection. Only when he is at home and with his relatives, Zhang Cheng does not need to pretend or hide himself.

Now, he has fully integrated into this family, and he is very filial to his mother and aunt, and almost never disobeys them. It seems that he has forgotten that this mother and aunt are cheap mothers and aunts picked up by him for nothing.

At this time, Mrs. Ji Xuanzhu ordered from the side: "Jia Ma, take the young master down, after feeding the milk, put him to sleep earlier."

Jia Ma is the nanny of Zhang Yuding, the eldest son of Yongningbo. Her name is Jia Yunniang. She is just in her early twenties this year. Even Zhang Cheng couldn't help but blushed and felt dry.

Jia Yunniang's husband, Ding Baogen, was originally the head of a small team in Zhang Cheng's army. He was also promoted when the Yongyi Army was expanded this time, and became the head of a hundred people in the Teng Snake Camp.

This also made Jia Yunniang work harder in Yongningbo's house. She even cut off the milk of her own son Ding Li early on and only fed it to Yongningbo's son Zhang Yuding.

For some unknown reason, Zhang Yuding couldn't cut off the milk. He was like a little tiger eating very well.

It is precisely because of this that Jia Yunniang was worried that she would not be able to serve the young master well, and she was even more worried that the wife would find another nanny for the young master to share her credit, so she pinched out her son Ding Li's milk.

After all, Uncle Yongning had brought her son Ding Li into the mansion to live with her, even though it was for the convenience of her taking care of her own child, so he could calm down and take good care of the young master.

But Yongningbo has something to say, if his son can be the young master's book boy in the future, won't he become the closest person to the young master, and he will be afraid that his achievements will be low in the future?
Maybe, the youngest Ding in my family will become the light of the family in the future!

Jia Yunniang stepped forward to take Zhang Yuding, which was a bit strange to say, this piece of Yuding was still alive and kicking under the teasing of her father just now.

But when he arrived in Yunniang's arms, he immediately lay down on the white flowers on his chest, his two little hands kept pawing at the collar, and he pouted his little red mouth and moved close to it.

The little guy made a fuss, immediately revealing most of Yunniang's front, which was so bright under the candlelight that Zhang Cheng swallowed two big mouthfuls of saliva.

Looking at the back of Yunniang turning away, Zhang Cheng only felt that a raging fire seemed to be burning in his body, and suddenly his mouth and tongue were dry, and his whole body was unbearably hot.

"Sister, let's go to bed earlier and let the young couple feel the parting feelings." The aunt Zhang Hanshi who was on the side seemed to see something, and hurriedly tugged on Zhang Yangshi's sleeve and said to her.

After respectfully sending the two old ladies away, only Yongningbo Zhang Cheng and the two wives were left in the warm room, as well as the sisters Liu Ying and Liu Yan, as well as the new concubine Tang Chunru and others.

Everyone heard the old lady's words just now, and at this moment they stood up and left very obediently. The second wife Yang Liying and her concubine Liu Yan were already pregnant, and they could no longer experience the joy of bed.

And Liu Ying is well-behaved and sensible, she excused to take care of her younger sister who was more than seven months pregnant, she also got up and left with Liu Yan, and the new concubine Tang Chunru also hurriedly got up and left.

In a blink of an eye, only Zhang Cheng, Ji Xuanzhu and his wife, Xiuyue and Yurui were left in the warm room that was very lively just now.

Ji Xuanzhu gently opened her cherry lips and said to Zhang Cheng, "My husband is really heroic, majestic and suave, and he can bring back a flowery and jade-like girl every time he goes to war!"

Hearing the words, Zhang Cheng knew that she was deliberately mocking him, so he couldn't help but smiled and said, "There is no way, the emperor rewarded me, and I dare not refuse it as a husband."

As he spoke, he moved closer to Ji Xuanzhu's side, and whispered against her pink cheek, "It's been a few months since I left, but do you miss your husband?"

"It's not right, the girls are still here."

Zhang Cheng squinted at Xiuyue and Yurui at the side, and replied with a charming smile on his face: "What are you afraid of? They are all your close friends, but now they are all pretty and handsome, I don't know what to say." Tian Husband just combs them, how about taking them to be your sisters?"

What he said bluntly made the two little girls blushed and seemed to be very shy. They lowered their heads and couldn't see what their expressions were at the moment.

However, Ji Xuanzhu's attitude is enough to explain the problem, only to hear her scolding: "You, wild flowers are better than home flowers, and flowers are everywhere, and the reputation of being greedy for beauty will spread throughout the world."

"Who said that?"

Zhang Cheng continued with a serious expression: "The fragrance of wild flowers is true. But the flowers in our house are even more fragrant."

As he spoke, he sniffed Ji Xuanzhu a few times, and then said with a straight face: "Benbo loves wild flowers as well as domestic flowers. Whether she is a domestic flower or a wild flower, she is a The flowers in Bo's bosom!"

"what."

As Zhang Cheng said, he hugged Ji Xuanzhu in his arms, which made her let out a soft scream, and then wanted to push Zhang Cheng away, but he couldn't do it because of his weakness, so he couldn't help begging softly: "Don't... ...Girls are watching, pass... spread..."

At this time, Ji Xuanzhu couldn't say a word anymore, because her small cherry mouth was completely blocked by a big mouth. When her lips and tongue intersected, a man's unique breath directly hit Ji Xuanzhu's body. Inside the nose and mouth.

Suddenly, Uncle Yongning, Zhang Cheng hugged the princess violently, hugged his wife Ji Xuanzhu in his arms, and said to Xiuyue and Yurui, who were giggling, "You two silly girls, what are you doing here? Why don't you hurry up and make a mattress for Ben Bo?"

…………

Since Zhang Cheng returned to Chicheng from the capital, he has been busy with military affairs and government affairs. First he accompanied the governor and ministers, and then he went to various castles to inspect, but he didn't spend time with his family.

Fortunately, now that the military and political affairs have been roughly arranged properly, he has finally freed up time to spend a good Spring Festival with his family in peace and security.

In the next few days, he played with a group of female relatives in the mansion, or teased the young master Zhang Yuding, or played leaf games with the two old ladies, and occasionally played horse hanging and so on.

Although Zhang Cheng is now the Earl of Yongning of the Ming Dynasty, the plaque in front of the mansion is still written with the words of the general's office, because he will go to Xuanfu town to work after this new year, and he has not lived here for a long time. plan.

However, today's General Staff Office is very lively, both inside and outside are covered with red silk ribbons, and there are strings of lights of various colors, which can be seen in the festive atmosphere.

The 14th year of Chongzhen was not an ordinary year for Zhang Cheng!

In this year, he led the warriors under his command to fight twice, and they all won victoriously. This is a very festive event, not to mention that Zhang Cheng was awarded the title of Earl of Daming for his contribution to aid Liaodong.

Of course, what made everyone happiest was the birth of Zhang Yuding, the eldest son of Yongningbo Zhang Cheng's mansion. This also marked the successors of the Zhang family. centripetal force is stronger.

Among the battalion officers and generals within the Bravery Army, the titles of "Shi Zi Ye" and "Little Prince" have even appeared!

In their view, this not only marks the successors of the generals they warmly support, but also marks the successors of the "Brave Army", a new armed force.

Although Zhang Cheng has not yet reached his thirties, he still looks very young and handsome, and has a heroic appearance. Even if he goes to the battlefield, he will get the best protection as the commander of the first army.

But people in this era are like this. They regard the matter of inheriting the family line as the most important thing. Whether it is gold silk, or real estate and fields, they must pass it on to their sons, Shunzhi, and great-grandchildren in the end, forever!
Even once some people decide to become slaves, they will be slaves for several lifetimes, and what is even worse, they will be slaves like horses and cows for generations.

Just like today's brave officers, generals and soldiers regard Yongningbo Zhang Cheng as their master, in the eyes of brave soldiers, Zhang Cheng is their god-given master.

As long as Yongning Bo Zhang Cheng leads them, the brave army can always be invincible, and they can also continue to increase their ranks and ranks with military merits, and they can also receive full military pay, and they will be rich forever.

As the saying goes, "a snake can't do without a head", if the Yongyi Army has now begun to have the characteristics of a powerful local warlord, then in ancient times, such a local powerful faction must have a leader.

After all, people in this period are still at a time when the wisdom of the people has not yet been developed. As a group, they rely entirely on the personal will of the leader, Zhang Cheng, to lead them all the way to strive for personal wealth and fame.

Therefore, all of them are ants gathered under Zhang Cheng's command. Even if there are Wei Zhice, Zhang Guodong, Chen Zheng and other slightly outstanding people among them, none of them can replace Zhang Cheng's position.

Even if Zhang Cheng had an accident in the future, I am afraid that his son can only be the commander-in-chief of the entire army, and he can still convince the public.

As for Wei Zhice, Zhang Guodong, Chen Zheng, Chen Zhong, etc., they could only assist them from the sidelines. Perhaps the real power of the army was in the hands of them, but the commander of the entire army could only be a descendant of Zhang Cheng.

For example, in the real history of the late Ming Dynasty, Gao Jie, the chief soldier of the imperial court, surrendered from the bandits. After Beijing was captured by the Qing army, he became one of the four towns in the north of the Yangtze River, and was named Xingpingbo by the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

But when he was trapped and killed in Suizhou by Xu Dingguo, a senior minister of the Ming Dynasty, even though more than a dozen soldiers under him each had a soldier and horse, none of them could single-handedly provoke the leader.

Even later, Gao Jie's wife, Xing, was afraid that her son Gao Yuanjue would be too young to fully control more than ten generals under his command, so she asked Nanming cabinet minister Shi Kefa to accept him as a foster son as a backer.

However, Shi Kefa cared about his reputation and failed to agree in time. Finally, Nanming, a capable and brave army, surrendered to the Qing army with its commander Gao Yuanjue in the midst of chaos.

Therefore, in this era, the lineage inheritance is the most important, just like Zhang Cheng is now the supreme commander of the Yongyi Army, and his personal prestige in the army and in Xuanzhen has reached the point where it cannot be restored.

And now that he has a son again, the family inheritance has been stabilized, and the soldiers who followed him seem to have taken reassurance. The army will continue to flourish!
