Chapter 1102 Be an Adviser

On November [-]th of the first year of Longwu, Mao Wenlong, who was deprived of his military post in the Liaodong Army, was sent to Changde Mansion, Zheng Ying's residence, and accepted Zheng Ying's appointment.

When Mao Wenlong saw Zheng Ying, Zheng Ying was at his desk dealing with military affairs.

As the saying goes, soldiers and horses go first without food and grass, and a big battle of 10,000+ people may last for a long time, so it is very important to arrange the marching route and food ration of each army, as well as the scheduled execution date, etc., affairs It is complicated and needs to be dealt with by him, the master general.

There are constant messengers coming to him to take orders, and then convey them out. He has been extremely proficient in his business after leading troops to fight thousands of miles for a long time.

"The last general, Mao Wenlong, pays homage to Zheng Shuai."

Mao Wenlong searched for a while, and then made a decisive sound.

Zheng Ying ignored him.

Mao Wenlong was a little strange and felt a little embarrassed, but Zheng Ying didn't make a sound, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

After a while, Zheng Ying finished writing a military order before slowly opening his mouth.

"Mao Wenlong, you are just a white man without a military position, why do you call yourself the last general?"

Zheng Ying raised his head and stared directly at Mao Wenlong with sharp eyes. Mao Wenlong froze for a moment, and then said awkwardly: "At the end... Caomin knows his mistake, Caomin didn't react for a while, please forgive Caomin from Zheng Shuai."

"Well, that's about the same."

Zheng Ying propped his hands on the table, put his chin on it, and said slowly: "I heard that you are very good at taking credit? In the battle of Liaodong, you took the biggest credit by yourself, and let tens of thousands of Liaodong troops Went for nothing with the sailors of Jianghai and Dahai, and went to play in the mountains and rivers?"

"This……"

Mao Wenlong looked embarrassed and couldn't say a word.

"In the army, the most taboo is the person who steals the merit. In the former Ming army, the wind of grabbing the merit was prevalent. Today, His Majesty hates this, so he made a rule for everyone to follow and not violate it. Once violated, the military law will be punished. No mercy, from the general to the team officer, all have to sit together.

Once the war starts, all armies must act in accordance with the established plans of the capital's staff headquarters and the army's staff groups. In case of an emergency, the matter is urgent, and it is too late to ask for instructions. Only then can it be arbitrarily judged under the witness of a military judge, and a report must be made afterwards. Explain the reason, is this rule not enforced in the Liaodong Army?Is your Liaodong Army so arrogant? "

"It's...not that there is nothing, but that the situation is urgent, and Jianu is right in front of us, so...the grassroots have no choice but to do it."

"It's a last resort... Okay, don't talk too much when you come to me. I don't like this kind of thing here. Your Majesty sent you here. You should know the reason, right?"

Zheng Ying looked at Mao Wenlong.

"Your Majesty's love and love, at the end... the grass people will not be rewarded even if their bones are broken, the grass people will not hesitate to go up the sword, go down to the sea of ​​fire, the grass people..."

"Stop, stop, you'd better not say that in front of His Majesty. Our Majesty hates hearing someone say that. You, please don't say such meaningless words. Your Majesty will try to protect you this time. That is I saw your talent.

That's why I sent you to me, and I don't go here to recruit good fighters. If you want to stand out, you have to be down-to-earth. If you do what your Liaodong Army does here, don't blame me for being merciless. "

Mao Wenlong's heart trembled, and he clasped his fists and said, "Caomin knows."

"Okay, don't call yourself a grassroots, and call yourself a grassroots in the army. You can figure it out. I don't have any vacancies. You can be a staff officer by my side now. Your Majesty said, you have read, you can read, and you can understand The art of war, has also been on the battlefield, has actual combat experience, and is a rare staff talent."

"Consultant... Staff?"

"The praise painting of the previous dynasty, the staff officer of this dynasty, don't you understand?"

Zheng Ying stared.

"No... It's not that I don't understand. Well, Zheng Shuai, the last general...is from a combat unit. This staff officer may not be very good at it."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it, just learn it. Staying with me will also let me see your abilities and see if you are worthy of His Majesty's love and care for you."

Mao Wenlong was left speechless by Zheng Ying, but he still wanted to fight for it.

On the battlefield, he has dreams, goals, and the belief to move forward. What is it like to be a bullshit staff officer?Wu is not martial but not literate, the situation is embarrassing and I don’t know what it is, talking all day long, relying on lip service for food, how is that different from those people who sway their lips and tongues?
Mao Wenlong's blood is full of fighting genes, nothing else!
What is it if you want him to be a staff officer and not go to the front line to fight bloody enemies?
"Zheng Shuai, the last general is really..."

"I've made up my mind, so there's no need to say more. If you don't want to, you can go back to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to arrange you again."

As Zheng Ying said, he picked up the file and began to process it. It was obvious that he didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Mao Wenlong was depressed, but he didn't dare to say any more, so he left the barracks with a dejected face, and followed Zheng Ying's soldiers to the quartermaster's office.

After reporting his name and official position, he received military armor, a saber, and a set of daily necessities. He was incorporated into the staff team of the Xuanwu Battalion, and he should report to the staff team. Future actions will be arranged by the chief of staff.

In this way, Mao Wenlong started a new military life in depression.

But far away in Beijing, Xiao Ruxun had no time to pay attention to him, even to himself.

Because the queen is about to give birth.

The last time Caiyun was pregnant in October, Xiao Ruxun went to war in North Korea and was never able to stay by Caiyun's side. Although he finally came back, it was always a pity for him.

This time, he didn't want to miss it again. He was pregnant with Caiyun for ten months. When the news came from the imperial hospital that the queen was going to give birth, he got nervous and left Wang Xijue and Li Tingji who were discussing. , rushed to the Queen's Kunning Palace.

Leaving Wang Xijue and Li Tingji to leave is neither staying nor not, I don't know what to do.

But the queen's childbirth is definitely not a trivial matter.

Today, His Majesty has never let go of the selection of girls. The empress is the only emperor's woman in the six palaces. The birth of a child is a matter of national importance, and she must not wait for it.

Whether it is Xiao Ruxun or Yang Caiyun, the pressure is quite high.

After all, it is very dangerous to become an emperor and a royal family, and not having many children is a very dangerous thing. It is not that Xiao Ruxun has not considered drafting a concubine, but when he thinks of the endless harem turmoil that will follow, he feels a headache.

Founding a country and establishing a dynasty, everything is cumbersome, there is no time to sleep, how can there be time to control the inner palace?This is bound to produce endless disasters.

In addition to his promise to Caiyun, Xiao Ruxun did not plan to draft. With only Caiyun alone, the backyard would naturally not catch fire, and he could devote himself to the construction of the country.

But lack of heirs is indeed a big problem. Many ministers have been attacking this matter before. The emperor's family affairs are not family affairs. The emperor sleeps with a woman and has children. It is a state matter, not a trivial matter.

Although the emperor's own desires were at work, the most fundamental reason was that the mortality rate of young children remained high. If the royal heirs were not abundant, once something happened, the country would be in danger.

Therefore, it is necessary for the stability of the country's political situation to have more children with the concubine Dona. Especially for the founding emperor like Xiao Ruxun, if something happens, the country will fall apart in an instant, and everyone will suffer.

There are many children, so there are choices, few children, no choice, once something happens, there is no chance to choose, so until now, there are still ministers who persuade Xiao Ruxun to draft, enrich the inner palace, and have more children , otherwise it is not a blessing for the country.
