As Li Shuo said, firearms are the foundation of the Southwest Army, and in addition to the sharp weapon of firearms, it is still a question whether the hundreds of thousands of Southwest Army can leave Shudu, let alone fight all the way to the capital like now.

Therefore, re-forming a firearms battalion directly under Li Xin is indeed what should be done at the moment, and the next day Li Xin came to the Qianguo Mansion in Yongle Fang and found Mu Ying.

Since the Southwest Army has entered the capital and received a reward, then everything that should be there must be there, for example, Mu Ying was awarded the title of Duke of Qianguo, and the imperial court selected a mansion of the king of the county from Yongle Fang Li and changed it to the Mansion of the Duke of Qianguo for him to live in, in addition to Li Shuo's Pengyuan Marquis Mansion is also under construction, and it can be completed in a month or two at most.

Li Xin arrived at the Qianguo Mansion, and before he stepped in, Mu Ying, who was dressed in black, went out of the mansion to greet him, and after seeing Li Xin, Mu Ying immediately stepped forward and saluted, and said: "What is the matter with the Metropolitan Governor, let someone bring a message to me, I will immediately go to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to meet me, where is the reason for the boss to visit the lower officials?" ”

Li Xin smiled.

"Our two families are close, so there is no need to be so troublesome, besides, this time I came to the door, I still have something to discuss with Brother Mu, if you want Brother Mu to have a hemorrhage, naturally I should come to visit Brother Mu."

Mu Ying let go of her body and said with a smile: "What does the Metropolitan Governor have to say, although he opened his mouth, if there is no Metropolitan Governor, Mu Ying may be just a bandit and robber on a mountain somewhere in the southwest at this time, where can there be today's situation?" ”

For Mu Ying, Li Xin's life has indeed changed completely, if there is no Li Xin, he is just a child of the Mu family in the southwest, even if he can successfully succeed as the head of the Mu family, it is useless, after all, at that time, the remnants of Nanshu were in turmoil, maybe they will be completely dispersed at any time, and they may fall into the grass at any time.

The two of them had already entered the Qianguo Mansion, Li Xin walked in the courtyard of the Mansion, looked left and right, and then stroked his palms and said: "Brother Mu's mansion is more spacious than Master Ye's house, and it is a waste for Brother Mu to live here alone, have you ever considered taking your family to the capital and enjoying happiness with you?" ”

Mu Ying said with a smile: "I have already written a letter to my family, and it won't be long before the wife of the family will bring her only son to the capital, and her subordinates will fight to the death. ”

Mu Ying actually has two sons, but the eldest son changed his name to Li Xuan and became the king of Shu in the southwest.

There is another meaning in this statement, that is to say, from his generation, the Mu family may be divided into two, one will continue to be the king of Shu in the southwest, and the other will be in the capital and be the prince of Qianguo.

Li Xin squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Now that the overall situation has been decided, our brothers don't need to be afraid of anyone anymore, and we don't have to be afraid of those rumors, according to my meaning, let my eldest nephew change his surname back to Mu, the Li family of the old Nanshu has been wiped out, and it makes no sense to let him be surnamed Li for no reason." ”

"Since he changed his surname, there is no reason to change it back, and besides, his surname Li is not the Li of the old Nanshu."

Mu Ying bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "He is the first righteous son of the Dadu Governor, and he should only follow the surname of the Dadu Governor, so that in the future, his title of the King of Shu will be reasonable." ”

Li Xin walked in front and glanced back at Mu Ying, with a helpless smile on his face.

Indeed, Li Yu is his first righteous son, but how can his father still be there, and the righteous son will follow the reason of his father's surname, Mu Ying said this, and the meaning in his words was very simple and straightforward.

That is, the Li family will be the emperor sooner or later, and when Li Xin ascends the throne, Li Xu, the righteous son, will become the prince in a sense, so that the position of the king of Shu can be justified.

The entire Southwest Group, from Li Shuo to Mu Ying, including the reader who is familiar with the books of sages, thinks about the world and changes his surname all the time, and when the time is ripe, even if Li Xin himself does not take the initiative to take that step, these people will do the old thing of reproducing the "yellow robe plus body" and push Li Xin to that position!

"That's it, this is your Mu family's family matter, so I won't interfere much."

Speaking of this, Li Xin sighed slightly: "Actually, our brothers, there is no need to be so angry, the position of the king of Shu is what I should inherit to your family, no matter what my eldest nephew's surname is, he is the king of Shu." ”

Mu Ying smiled silently, and the two of them walked to the main hall of the Qianguo Mansion together, Mu Ying invited Li Xin to the main seat, and then sat in the guest seat by himself, the two of them sat down, and after each took a sip of tea, Mu Ying asked Li Xin: "The Metropolitan Governor just said that he had something to discuss with his subordinates, I don't know if it is ......."

Li Xin put down the tea and said in a calm tone: "That's the case, yesterday I went to visit Li Shuo's injury, and by the way, I discussed with him about the reorganization of the Southwest Army, he gave some advice, and I listened to them, but I can't make up my mind for the time being, so I came to discuss with Brother Mu today." ”

Mu Ying nodded and asked, "How is General Li's injury?" ”

"The recovery is not bad, and in another month, it should be fine."

"That'll be fine."

Mu Ying took a sip of tea and said with emotion: "I am not afraid of the blame of the Metropolitan Governor, before I arrived in the capital, there were many generals of the Hanzhou Army under my subordinates, and they all looked down on General Li Shuo in their hearts, thinking that he was involved in the relationship with the Metropolitan Governor in order to achieve the position of General Ningzhou, but after the Ningzhou Army attacked the capital, the Hanzhou Army dispelled this idea. ”

Mu Ying said with heartfelt emotion: "General Li Shuo looks like a weak scholar, and he is so ruthless in fighting that even I am a little ashamed. ”

Li Xin's face was calm: "He grew up in the Pingnan Army since he was a child, and he suffered a lot in the past few years, so he fought very hard. ”

Li Shuo escaped from Jincheng at the age of sixteen with the remnants of the Pingnan Army, and in the next few years, he took tens of thousands of people to eat at the border of Tubo, and did not deal with the Tubo people.

Mu Ying bowed her head slightly, and said with a smile: "It's far away, the governor of the capital is still talking about business, and his subordinates also feel that the Southwest Army needs to be reorganized, do you have any ideas to order, at most half a month, and your subordinates will definitely give you a beautiful job." ”

Li Xin picked up the tea, took a sip without hurrying, and then said lightly: "Originally, I wanted to let the Southwest Army and the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army mix together, but after discussing this idea with Li Shuo, I felt that it was not suitable, so I put it aside for the time being, and I will slowly get it later, but about the matter of the firearms battalion, I have discussed a prototype." ”

Li Xin put down the teacup and looked calm.

"What I mean is to separate the firearms battalions of the Hanzhou Army and the Ningzhou Army, and then get an independent organization dedicated to firearms, so that it is also convenient for unified training, and if there is a war in the future, then draw manpower from this establishment as a cooperation."

"The name of this independent firearms battalion is tentatively named the Shenji Battalion."

Speaking of this, Li Xin glanced at Mu Ying with a smile and asked, "Does Brother Mu have any opinions on this idea?" If not, I'll have someone do it. ”

Mu Ying hurriedly lowered her head and answered without hesitation.

"Of course the subordinates have no opinion."

"The reorganization of the firearms battalion is a great thing, and although the firearms are powerful, they must also be trained intensively in order to achieve results."
