In the early morning of the second day, an army set off from the camp of the King's Army Field Service in the capital city, escorting a long line of vehicles to the northwest.

This army is composed of the [-] cavalry army directly under Ma Xianglin and the [-] infantry army led by Zhang Fengyi, all of which are under the orders of Zhongxing Hou Zhong Jinwei.

Yan Yingyuan wanted to follow Zhong Jinwei to protect him, after all, Zhong Jinwei didn't have a personal guard by his side.However, he was rejected by Zhong Jinwei. Zhong Jinwei hinted that his appointment would come down soon, and he would go to Dongjiang Town with Lu Xiangsheng at that time.

He watched the brother-in-law go away, and sighed in his heart: his sister is so lucky to be able to find such a treasure in the palace.

Yan Yingyuan did not target the target. After Zhong Jinwei became a high-ranking official, not only did he not forget Archie, he wrote letters to his sister several times, and the emperor had to delay the marriage, but he came to explain to himself and wrote a letter to Archie, it shows that Hou Zhongxing is thinking about his sister.

Thinking of this, he remembered that he had gotten involved with Zhong Jinwei thanks to his sister's blessing. Immediately, the emperor would grant Wu Jinshi's background, and he would be awarded Jiutai to make meritorious service.

The Yan family had to meet Zhong Jinwei, what a blessing from the ancestors!Yan Yingyuan secretly sighed.

Of course, he didn't know his deeds in the original history. Even without his sister, Zhong Jinwei would still be a good man for the country.

Lu Xiangsheng saw that Sun Chengzong had led the generals back to the camp, and Zhong Jinwei's army had disappeared, but Yan Yingyuan was still watching.He reminded him jokingly: "Liheng, Marquis Zhongxing has gone far away, don't worry about it, your brother-in-law won't be able to run away, I can see that."

Lu Xiangsheng's words awakened Yan Yingyuan who was in deep thought. He smiled embarrassedly at Lu Xiangsheng, and then said: "Jiutai was joking, let's go back to the camp, how about studying the water battle together?"

Naturally, Lu Xiangsheng also knew about the appointment in advance. He smiled and said, "Okay, let's check the terrain of Liaodong and see how we can cooperate in the future."

In the distant convoy, Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi were riding next to the same car, but there was no trace of Zhong Jinwei around.

"Marquis Zhongxing is really busy. After returning from the victory, he didn't sleep all night, and today he was ordered by the emperor to go to Beijing again." Zhang Fengyi said to her husband.

"Yeah, I really didn't expect that those things were made by Zhongxing Hou." Ma Xianglin also sighed.

He and Zhang Fengyi accompanied Zhong Jinwei to Daming Royal Bank, and then went to the cement factory non-stop to inspect the cement, glass and steel making.

Seeing that Zhong Jinwei was able to speak clearly with this one, and at the same time make the other person nod repeatedly.He couldn't help admiring inwardly. Among princes and generals, there was someone as capable as Zhong Jinwei, probably only during the founding of the country.

He could see that not only he admired Zhong Jinwei, but even the eunuch whom he admired before, Eunuch An, who was in charge of the cement factory, respected Zhong Jinwei and obeyed Zhong Jinwei's assignment.

After Zhong Jinwei finished arranging work at the cement factory, he returned to Zhongxinghou Mansion late at night.

Then he let himself go to rest, but he was busy in the study until dawn, and then sent people to deliver letters and memorials to the emperor.Until now, I have no time to catch up on sleep in the carriage.

"Master, do you think we really have to escort the military pay?" Zhang Fengyi had already seen that something was wrong, and asked Ma Xianglin.

Ma Xianglin looked back at the vehicles, then shook his head and said, "Is there anyone escorting the empty vehicles to pay the military pay? Obviously, there are other things to do, unless the military pay is not in the capital. But these are not important, we just need to obey Lord Hou Can."

The couple had already seen that these vehicles were empty, and Zhongxinghou must have other important matters to leave Beijing in such a hurry.

After Zhongxing Hou woke up, he would naturally tell the two of them what he was going to do.Therefore, the two of them were in no hurry at all, and just kept their heads on their way.

In the camp of King Qin's army, where the Xuanfu army is located, Hou Shilu, the commander-in-chief, and Kong Fang, the confidant guerrilla, are discussing matters. [

"Marshal, the court hasn't paid my Xuanfu army's military salary for several months. You are here, Marshal. Why doesn't the court pay you directly?" Since Kong Fang knew that the white-armed army was I went to the Jiubian Army Town to pay the military pay, so I had this doubt. I felt that the court didn't trust them, otherwise why bother.

Hou Shilu glanced at this confidant, feeling a little worried, and said in a low voice: "I see that the court's regulations on distributing military pay may be changed. And haven't you noticed that the vehicles in that white army are basically empty."

"Well, why did the imperial court clearly say that the military salary was paid? If there is no military salary, wouldn't it be a slap in the face for me? After waiting for so long at the border, but there is no military salary, wouldn't it be a rebellion?" Kong Fang himself didn't pay attention to the condition of the vehicle, and now he listened to Hou Shilu Having said that, it is even more confusing.

"I see how there is a sense of conspiracy in it, what is the imperial court doing?" Hou Shilu also couldn't figure out where the imperial court said to pay the military salary.

But no matter where the military salary is, since it is said that it will be paid, it will definitely be paid.The army he left in Xuanfu was far less than the reported amount. If Marquis Zhongxing went to pay the army, he would be exposed and had to make up for it.

Hou Shilu thought of this, and he said to Kong Fang: "You don't have to wait here, sneak back to the Xuan Mansion and arrange everything so that Hou Zhongxing will not find out the problem."

Kong Fang hesitated a little, and said unwillingly: "Marshal, this imperial court has not rewarded meritorious deeds!"

When Hou Shilu heard this, he stared at him, which shocked Kong Fang a lot.

He hastily changed his words: "Of course it is more important to return to the Xuanfu. As long as the commander-in-chief has meritorious service, the benefits will always be indispensable to his subordinates."

When Hou Shilu heard Kong Fang's words, he seemed to be in a good mood. He patted Kong Fang's shoulder and said, "You have always been my confidant, and you have never hidden anything from you. Although there are many frontier troops doing the Xuanfu's affairs, But it can’t be put on the table. If Hou Zhongxing knows about those things and exposes them, it’s not a joke. Do you understand?”

"My subordinates understand, of course my subordinates understand." Although Kong Fang was a little greedy and wanted to get the reward from the court first, but Hou Shilu knew the severity of what he said, so he quickly replied.

There are not a few commanders who have Hou Shilu's ideas, and all the commanders of the frontier army who have a share of the army's salary have secretly sent their cronies back.

In short, there is a principle, if you should not let Zhongxinghou know, you must never let him know.Because they knew that Hou Zhongxing was not something they could buy.

As for the other people in King Qin's army camp, including the majority of soldiers, they all hoped that the relevant yamen of the imperial court would finish the inspection and acceptance of the head quickly, and then wait for the meritorious deeds to be rewarded.

People in the capital, no matter princes or nobles or ordinary people, these days the focus is still on dealing with the affairs of Jianlu after they were poisoned.

The refugees gathered in the capital began to return to their hometowns one after another after the good news came.In any case, home has always occupied a very important position in the hearts of ordinary people.In any case, as long as there is a sliver of ability to return home, they will choose to go home and have a look.

The return of refugees affected the progress of road construction, especially on the second day after the offering of prisoners at the Meridian Gate, more people left.The road from the cement factory to the capital was only half built, and many refugees fled.

After the problems were collected to Xu Guangqi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, a playbook told the situation to the heavens.

After Emperor Chongzhen learned about the matter, he decided to start the reform of the Beijing camp, and called the cabinet to start discussions that day.

The biggest vested interest in the Beijing camp has been removed in the assassination of Zhong Xinghou, and the rest of the generals with interests should be killed, and those who should be exiled should be exiled.

And new vested interests have not yet emerged. Although some people covet the meat of Jingying, but because Jingying has always been under the custody of Wu Huan, there is no movement at all, and they can't reach it if they want to.

Now that the emperor has proposed this plan to restructure the Beijing camp, the interests of the various commanders will be damaged, and they have little to do with the cabinet. Basically, no one of these auxiliary ministers will try their best to oppose it.

Therefore, on the morning of the third day after Zhong Jinwei left the capital, the restructuring of the capital camp began.

The commanders of King Qin's army received the order, the infantry gathered in a temporary school yard, and the cavalry stayed in the camp and were not allowed to move.

This temporary school field is actually just a platform set up on a flat ground, and the infantry from all walks of life marched in one by one, led by a special person, and stood at the designated position.

Although the infantry soldiers didn't know why the cavalry didn't go, they couldn't care less. It seemed that they finally waited until the meritorious deeds were rewarded.

One by one they happily followed the procession, chatting in low voices, showing off their achievements, and discussing how many rewards everyone would get.

But when they arrived at the gate of the school grounds, they found the Baigan Army standing beside them in full armor, with solemn expressions, which added to the tense atmosphere.

After the infantry soldiers saw it, they didn't dare to whisper to each other anymore, and entered the arena in a well-behaved manner.

After the [-] infantry entered the field, the white cavalry began to patrol between the various formations, and noise was prohibited.

Not long after, Sun Chengzong led various generals to the temporary stands.But he didn't sit in the top position, he just sat in the chair on the lower side of the middle position.

The generals from all walks of life saw that no one was sitting in the most prestigious position. Now the Ming Dynasty is more honorable than Sun Chengzong and the only one who may come to the school is the current emperor.Is it possible that the emperor will come in person?

Sure enough, after Sun Chengzong sat down, he ordered his soldiers to send a message, saying that the royal family would come in person in a while and reward them for their merits.

After receiving the order, Sun Chengzong's personal soldiers walked quickly to the side of the stage, and conveyed Sun Chengzong's words to the white-rod cavalry led by Hou.

Upon hearing this, a group of white-rod cavalry led by Hou Zhu separated immediately, and conveyed while running along the gap between the phalanxes: "The emperor is here in person, and rewards are given for meritorious service, Your Majesty"

Suddenly, there was a "buzzing" sound in the temporary school grounds.When the emperor comes in person, the scene will be big.No one thought that they would see the emperor with their own eyes in this life.

However, before they started to get excited, the white cavalry who had finished delivering the message started to run back again, and at the same time issued an order to stop making noise.

If it was said that they were told not to make noise before, and there were some people who refused to accept it because they were the heroes who won the battle, now they heard the military order of "no noise" delivered by the white cavalry, and they immediately screamed.

The infantry soldiers all have self-esteem and want to impress the emperor, so the only sound left in the temporary school grounds is the sound of the flag blowing by the chilly spring breeze, making a "squeaky" sound.

After waiting for about half an hour, these soldiers who had experienced the elimination of soldiers also began to feel a little unsteady.

At this time, the infantry soldiers saw that the generals at all levels on the stage, under the leadership of Sun Chengzong, got off the stand and went to the entrance of the school grounds. They knew that the emperor had arrived, and they all looked at the entrance.
