Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 544: Yu Qingyi Breaks the Innate
"What is this?" Yu Qingyi took the jade box.

"Jade Dew Spirit Peach!"

Yu Qingyi looked at the pink peach in the jade box and said in surprise and joy, "Where did it come from?"

"Of course it was obtained from the Xingyue Sect! Eat it, your husband will protect you!" Yang Zhengshan said.

"Ok!"

Yu Qingyi nodded, then took out the Jade Dew Peach and started eating it.

The fist-sized peaches were fresh and juicy, and the sweet fruity aroma could be smelled from a long distance away. As for how they tasted, Yang Zhengshan didn't know, but judging from Yu Qingyi's appearance, they must be delicious.

Soon, Yu Qingyi had eaten the peach until only a core was left. Yang Zhengshan took the peach core, and Yu Qingyi closed his eyes and entered a state of cultivation.

"You guys go down and have a rest. You don't have to keep watch tonight!" Yang Zhengshan said to Qingxia.

Qingxia bowed and then left the room.

Time passed minute by minute, and Yang Zhengshan sat beside Yu Qingyi and closed his eyes and dozed off.

About an hour later, Yu Qingyi suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of surprise.

"Breakthrough?" Yang Zhengshan also opened his eyes and asked.

Yu Qingyi nodded repeatedly, happy and excited.

She threw herself directly into Yang Zhengshan's arms, "I am also an innate warrior!"

Yang Zhengshan said with a smile: "It's only a matter of time. Is it necessary to be so excited?"

"How can I not be excited? I'm looking forward to reaching the innate realm every day!" Yu Qingyi said coquettishly.

She was very happy, even too happy, and actually acted like a little girl in front of Yang Zhengshan.

She is already in her forties, but she still behaves like a little girl, which makes Yang Zhengshan a little distracted.

While Yang Zhengshan was touching her, he asked, "How does it feel?"

Yu Qingyi obviously didn't notice Yang Zhengshan's bad intentions, and she closed her eyes and carefully felt the changes in her body.

"Feeling ~ um ~"

Yang Zhengshan touched her vitals, causing her to let out a soft moan.

"What are you doing?" Yu Qingyi grabbed Yang Zhengshan's mischievous hand and said.

Yang Zhengshan said with a smile: "A short separation is better than a new marriage, haha~~"

Then some unspeakable things happened between the two of them.

……

Just as Yang Zhengshan had expected, in the following days, various departments in the court quarreled over the distribution of the spoils.

At the beginning, it was just the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War who were arguing. The Ministry of Revenue felt that all the captured spoils should be collected into the national treasury, while the Ministry of War believed that since this battle was a great victory, they should take this opportunity to expand the navy, and these treasures could be used to expand the navy.

Then the Ministry of Works also got involved in the dispute because they needed to build warships. They had previously modified eighteen large Fu ships, which were requisitioned from sea merchants. Now that the war was over, the modified warships certainly could not be returned to the sea merchants, but the Ministry of Works needed money and food to build new Fu ships and return them to the sea merchants.

The participation of the Ministry of Works also prompted other ministries to join in the fun, and finally even the Five Military Commissioners' Office got involved.

The Five Military Commandery had more convincing reasons. All the naval guards in the four seas were under their jurisdiction, so naturally they also contributed to this great victory.

Having seized so much property, they naturally wanted to use some to rebuild their garrisons or reward their soldiers.

Everyone had good reasons, and it seemed that everyone had a legitimate place to spend the money, but no one knew what they were thinking.

In fact, corruption in the court of Darong was becoming more and more serious, and the administration of officials had reached a point where it could no longer be ignored.

However, Emperor Yanping really liked to watch his ministers fighting. He liked to play the game of balance. In the cabinet, he supported Zhou Yunsong to compete with Song Yuange for power. In each ministry, he also arranged left and right assistant ministers to check and balance the minister. Even in the Five Military Commandery, Emperor Yanping liked to play the game of balance.

Liang Chu was the Left Commander-in-Chief of the Central Military Commandery, and under him were two deputy commanders, the Earl of Zhengyang and the Earl of Qing'an, who had nothing in common with Liang Chu.

However, these had nothing to do with Yang Zhengshan. He was only concerned about how Emperor Yanping would arrange Deng Yuehe and others, and whether he would set up three major naval divisions.

Emperor Yanping was still very receptive to advice and finally agreed to Yang Zhengshan's proposal to establish three major naval forces: the North Sea, the East Sea, and the South Sea.

There is a Naval Commandery that is in charge of the three major naval forces, with left and right commanders, two deputy commanders, and four deputy commanders.

The four guards of Tenglong were divided into the Beihai Navy. Yu Tonghai was appointed as the vice-governor and admiral of the Beihai Navy. Xue Ping was promoted to the commander of the Tenglong vanguard, and a eunuch supervising the army was added.

Haizhou Left Guard, Haizhou Guard, Songhe Vanguard and Jiujiang Rear Guard were divided into the East China Sea Navy. Bai Yuanxi was granted the title of Vice Governor and Admiral of the East China Sea Navy. Wang Mingjian was granted the title of Assistant Governor and assisted Bai Yuanxi in commanding the East China Sea Navy, that is, Deputy Admiral.

Leizhou Guard, Quanhai Guard, Zhaowu Guard, and Xinhe Guard were changed into the South China Sea Navy. Zhang Man was granted the title of deputy governor and admiral of the South China Sea Navy. Li Chengzhang was also granted the title of deputy governor and deputy admiral of the South China Sea Navy.

Deng Yuehe was also appointed as the right commander-in-chief of the Naval Commandery. Thousands of people from the Lu, Li and Wang families were dispersed and assigned to the East China Sea Navy and the South China Sea Navy.

As for why they were not assigned to the North Sea Navy, it was because the Tenglong Guards had no shortage of people. The Tenglong Four Guards were already overstaffed and no other personnel could be inserted unless the court wanted to split up the Tenglong Four Guards.

However, the various departments in the court did not want to offend Yang Zhengshan at this time, so they gave up interfering in the affairs of the Tenglong Four Guards.

In the end, the Five Military Governorates became the Six Military Governorates, and the Navy Governorates only lacked a Left Governor to take charge of the overall situation.

Emperor Yanping intended to appoint Yang Zhengshan as the Left Commander-in-Chief, but Yang Zhengshan refused.

"Your Majesty, my granddaughter is going to get married soon, and I want to send her off."

Yang Zhengshan's reason for refusal was perfunctory.

Emperor Yanping said with some dissatisfaction: "You are not that old, why are you becoming more and more lazy?"

"I'm old!" Yang Zhengshan blinked and looked at Emperor Yanping.

Isn't he old?
Now it is the sixth year of Yanping. Counting the time, he has been in this world for nineteen years, and he is now fifty-seven years old.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is a man in his sixties.

"You~~" Emperor Yanping was both angry and amused.

But he also felt relieved.

In fact, he felt somewhat conflicted about letting Yang Zhengshan serve as the Left Governor of the Naval Governor's Office. He felt that Yang Zhengshan was the most suitable candidate to be in charge of the Naval Governor's Office, but he did not really want Yang Zhengshan to be in charge of the Naval Governor's Office.

The reason lies in the Tenglong Four Guards. He was not unaware of the Tenglong Four Guards' loyalty to Yang Zhengshan. To put it bluntly, the Tenglong Four Guards could almost be regarded as Yang Zhengshan's private soldiers.

In the Tenglong Four Guards, Yang Zhengshan's orders were probably more effective than those from the imperial court. In addition to the Tenglong Four Guards, Chongshan Town was also Yang Zhengshan's home ground.

Emperor Yanping likes to play the game of balance, but he can't balance Yang Zhengshan because Yang Zhengshan is a little indifferent now.

It was precisely because Yang Zhengshan had no desires that he felt that he had treated Yang Zhengshan unfairly and wanted to compensate him.

In short, Emperor Yanping is now very conflicted. He wants to make use of Yang Zhengshan, but he also wants Yang Zhengshan to continue to live a life without desires.

"Forget it, forget it. Who do you think is suitable to be in charge of the Naval Governor's Office?" Emperor Yanping stopped hesitating and asked.

Yang Zhengshan thought for a moment and said, "There are quite a few suitable people, such as Marquis Haining and Marquis Suning. Both of these old marquises are suitable!"

"Why are they suitable?" Emperor Yanping asked with a frown.

Yang Zhengshan said: "It is not difficult to be in charge of the Navy Commandery. In the future, the Navy Commandery will focus on training and expansion. Any general with experience in leading troops can be appointed. However, the situation in the southeastern sea area is complicated, and a congenital warrior may be needed to take charge of the Navy Commandery. Therefore, I think these two marquises are the most suitable!"

Emperor Yanping nodded, "I understand!"

Marquis Haining and Marquis Suning are also veterans of Dayong. Although their battle records are not as outstanding as Marquis Jianchang Zhang Luan, they also have experience in leading troops and training soldiers. Having them in charge of the Naval Commandery is enough.

With Yang Zhengshan's proposal, Emperor Yeonping no longer hesitated and quickly appointed Haining Hou Li Chao as the Left Commander-in-Chief of the Naval Commandery.

By mid-March, the Naval Governor's Office was officially established, but Yang Zhengshan was already preparing to go to Nanjiang Town.

Yang Wanqing's wedding date was set for April 18th, and it would take about a month to travel from Kyoto to Nanjiang Town.

However, Yang Zhengshan took a shortcut and planned to take a warship south from Jinhaiwei, then go west along the Song River in Songhe Prefecture in Jiangnan, then dock at Jiujiang Prefecture in Yungui, and travel by land to Nanjiang Town.

This way a journey that takes one month can be shortened to twenty days.

Just as the Yang family was preparing for Yang Wanqing's marriage, Deng Yuehe, Li Chengzhang and Wang Mingjian came to visit the Marquis' Mansion together.

In the tea room in the front hall of the mansion, Yang Zhengshan warmly invited them to sit down and asked with a smile: "How is it? Are you used to living in Darong?"

Deng Yuehe smiled and said, "I'm used to it, but it feels a little strange!"

"It doesn't matter if it's unfamiliar. You'll get familiar after living here for a while!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

The three of them sat in front of Yang Zhengshan with relaxed expressions and chatted with him.

Now this result has made them very satisfied.

Although life in Darong was not as good as in Xingyue Island, at least Yang Zhengshan kept his promise and helped them obtain official positions and gave them the opportunity to integrate into Darong.

Compared to other families in Xingyuemen, they are already lucky.

All other families were exterminated, and tens of thousands of members were thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

They came to visit Yang Zhengshan this time with the intention of surrendering. They were surrendered generals and now they were eager to integrate into Darong. However, it would be difficult for them to integrate into Darong if they relied on themselves alone, so they needed Yang Zhengshan to help them get the recognition of Darong's officials.

In this regard, Yang Zhengshan neither accepted nor refused, but simply said: "You are all adjutants. After you take up your posts, you only need to cooperate with the chief officer to do your job well!"

"Restrain your tribe members. It doesn't matter if you suffer a little injustice. Try not to cause trouble. In this way, it will only take three to five years for you to completely integrate into Darong."

Whether it is Deng Yuehe, the right commander-in-chief, or Li Chengzhang and Wang Mingjian, the deputy admirals, they are actually deputy positions. It is impossible for the court to use them right away, let alone let them take charge of military power, so this arrangement is the most appropriate.

As for integrating into Darong, it would definitely involve suffering injustices.

When the Yang family entered the capital, they were also looked down upon by many. That was when Yang Zhengshan was on good terms with the Ningguo Mansion and the Changping Marquis Mansion. But who would dare to look down on the Jing'an Marquis Mansion now?

Whether the three families can integrate into Darong's officialdom in the future depends on themselves. Yang Zhengshan is more optimistic about Deng Yuehe. After all, Deng Yuehe's life in Xingyuemen was not very satisfactory before. After joining Darong, her life will be better than in Xingyuemen.

As for Li Chengzhang and Wang Mingjian, it will probably take a long time for them to adapt to life in Darong.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your support!" The three of them bowed in thanks.

After chatting for more than half an hour, the three of them said goodbye. However, Deng Yuehe asked Li Chengzhang and Wang Mingjian to leave first, and said to Yang Zhengshan alone: ​​"My Lord, I have entered the Xiantian realm. I hope you can give me some more advice!"

She successfully broke through to the innate realm with the help of the Sanhuangli given to her by Yang Zhengshan, but she had some concerns about whether to show off her cultivation.

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said, "There is nothing to teach you. Just go to the Temple of Worship and register. You don't have to worry too much. There are more than 40 Xiantian warriors in Darong, and there are more than 10 Xiantian warriors in Kyoto alone. One more or one less won't make a difference!"

In Dayong, although the status of innate warriors is respected, it is just that.

If Deng Yuehe became an innate warrior in Xingyue Sect, there would inevitably be a redistribution of power within Xingyue Sect. However, in Darong, an innate warrior could not affect the situation in the court at all.

"I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Lord!"

Deng Yuehe left the Marquis' Mansion in a happy mood. For her, it would be best if she could show her cultivation level, which would help her improve her status in Darong.

March twenty.

Yang Zhengshan, Yu Qingyi, Yang Mingcheng, Wang, Yang Mingzhao, Yang Chengye as well as hundreds of servants and guards left Kyoto with Yang Wanqing's dowry and headed to Nanjiang Town to see Yang Wanqing off.

The huge Yang family mansion is managed by Yang Chengmao and Wang Mingzhe.

There is no way. Yang Mingzhi and Yang Minghao are still in Chongshan Town, and now there are only a group of young people left in the Yang family in Kyoto.

Yang Zhengshan was not worried about these little guys. The younger generations of the Yang family have always been well-behaved. Besides, Yang Chengmao and Wang Mingzhe are both adults, so it is time for them to practice their ability to manage household chores.

The group boarded the warship in Jinhaiwei in a mighty manner. When they arrived at Jiujiang Prefecture, it was already the first day of April.

After sitting on the boat for ten days, Yang Zhengshan felt a little bored. Now that he was traveling by land, he felt a lot more comfortable.

He rode on Hongyun, and Hongyun kicked its feet happily and made a hissing sound.

There was also a Hongyun sitting in the carriage with Yu Qingyi.

Yungui Province is full of high mountains and steep cliffs, and the mountain roads are extremely difficult to travel on. Even the official roads are very bumpy. Yu Qingyi couldn't sit still in the carriage after sitting for half an hour, so he turned to riding a horse to continue his journey. Riding a horse is more comfortable than riding in a carriage.

As time was not tight, Yang Zhengshan was not in a hurry either. He walked and stopped along the way, from Jiujiang Prefecture to Lizhou Prefecture, and then crossed mountains and rivers to reach Jianxia Prefecture.

After passing Jianxia Prefecture is the territory of Nanjiang Town.

However, the official road of Jianxia Prefecture is even more difficult to travel, especially Jianxia Pass, which is a real natural barrier.

Jianxia Pass is located in the north of Jianxia Prefecture. It is the final pass in the southwest of Dayong and was originally the gateway to the southwest of Dayong.

If Nanjiang Town is lost, Jianxia Pass will be the most important barrier in Yungui Province.

It is said that this fortress was built by the previous Dasheng Dynasty and has a history of a thousand years. At that time, the territory of the Dasheng Imperial City ended at Jianxia Pass.
