"Send troops to Shandong?" Mu Tianyan asked in surprise, "You have lived such a nourishing life in Qiongzhou Mansion, why do you want to go to that poor nest to suffer?" Don't you look like a person who is bent on climbing up? "Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, civil officials are like this, and military generals are no exception. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe generals in other places tried to drink the blood of the soldiers, and only saved a few dollars, and in the summer, Nanri entered the gold fight, and the rich side was rich, even if he got the merits and was promoted to the chief military officer? The status of the generals of the Ming Dynasty is low, even if a soldier is not prepared, he doesn't look at a general soldier, why bother.

Xia Nan naturally didn't say that I want to expand my army and territory, and I want to rebel in the future, but I just explained according to Mu Tianyan's thinking that he could understand: "According to the current trend, the silver I can earn in the future will not be spent in a few lifetimes." Fame and fortune are both fame and fortune, and now that you have profit, you have to seek a name, right? I can't be a civil servant, and I can't be a general for the rest of my life. ”

Mu Tianyan believed his words: "It's right to be self-motivated. However, if you want to seek military merit and win the capital for promotion, you don't have to go to the north! Guangxi's Yao Tusi made trouble at two ends for three days, looking for a suitable opportunity, I suggested to Xiong Zhitai, send you to Guangxi to Pai Yao, with the strength of your Qiongzhou battalion, deal with a few Yao people? When the time comes, do a good job, send some money to the military department, within a year, I will make you an officer to a deputy general, and within three years, the chief military officer will be in hand. ”

Xia Nan couldn't laugh or cry, he believed that Mu Tianyan was really helping him, but what he really wanted was not the false position of the chief soldier, but the real territory in the north!

He tried to persuade Mu Tianyan: "It doesn't hurt to go to Guangxi Paiyao, the promotion is too slow, or the northern war exploits are heavier, maybe once the battle is fought, the deputy general will be in hand, and there is no need to wait another year......

Mu Tianyan still disagreed with his statement: "The Shandong rebels are still not extinguished, and people's brains have been beaten out of dog brains, what are you going to make a fuss about?" Slowly accumulate merit and qualifications in Liangguang, although slowly, but better than ...... safety"

Seeing that he couldn't convince Mu Tianyan, Xia Nan became a little impatient, but he couldn't say the real reason, and he felt very aggrieved for a while.

At this time, the sound of broken footsteps at the door sounded, and before anyone arrived, the words arrived first: "Uncle, my aunt asked me to bring you a bowl of stewed mutton soup with ginseng and wolfberry and send it over, saying that it is to nourish the kidney and liver, and you should ......drink it while it is hot."

As the words fell, a bright and kind beautiful woman entered the door with a maid carrying a bowl of soup, it was Mu Tianyan's niece Xie Wenjun. She entered the door and glanced at Xia Nan, but she didn't say hello, just pretended not to see it, but a blush quietly flew on her face.

Mu Tianyan was surprised and said, "Isn't this soup all drunk at night?" Why did you bring it over so early today......" Seeing the shyness on Xie Wenjun's face that could not be concealed, and then looking at Xia Nan next to him, he seemed to understand something, and swallowed back the last half of the words. He is a man from the past, so he naturally understands the thoughts of young men and women.

Xia Nan is also an old driver, seeing Xie Wenjun's expression, and then thinking of Dong Mingjue's previous "prompt", plus this soup is delivered so abruptly, I understand everything. Most likely Xie Wenjun learned that he came to his uncle and wanted to find an opportunity to get close to him, but he couldn't let go of his reserve, so he used the soup as a cover.

He rolled his eyes, since he couldn't convince Mu Tianyan, he might as well use Xie Wenjun as a breakthrough.

He approached Mu Tianyan and whispered: "I can't hide it, I have admired Miss Wenjun for a long time, but my status is low, and I am afraid that I will not be worthy of her, so I have not dared to speak." So I want to exchange military merits for official positions, so that each other can be a good ......"

Mu Tianyan already had the intention of matchmaking, and when he heard Xia Nan say it himself, he was in the middle of it, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, although the grade of the patrol royal history is not high, it is extremely noble, and there is a lot of room for the career to rise. ”

Xie Wenjun heard his uncle's brainless words, and thought of something, and his face turned even redder.

Xia Nan continued to flicker: "The reason why I want to go to Shandong is because the weight of the war is heavier, and secondly, I want to help the future Taishan, and it also leaves a good impression on him." ”

Mu Tianyan muttered: "He is indeed assisting Zhu Dadian, the new governor of Shandong, to quell the rebellion, if you can make war achievements in Shandong, the two of you can indeed do a lot of things together." With his help, your combat exploits will only be high and not low, plus the saint is very concerned about the situation in Shandong, and it is not impossible to win the title of chief military officer in one battle; And if he has your help and made great contributions, he is expected to take off the hat of the seven-grade imperial history as soon as possible and mix the four-grade imperial history......"

Xia Nan was just fooling Mu Tianyan, wanting to find a reason to send troops to Shandong through him, but he didn't expect this officialdom old fritter to analyze it, and he actually followed his flickering to figure out a clear idea. His eyes lit up, and he asked, "If you grant the imperial history of the capital, can you patrol Denglai?" ”

"The first two governors of Denglai, Sun Yuanhua, who was buried in Dengzhou the year before last, and Xie Lian, who was booby-trapped by the rebels last year, are all the governors of Denglai, you say?"

In the summer, Nan Daxi, if the governor of Denglai is his own person, then he will have a place to settle in Shandong. Denglai Linhai, the left can be taken directly from Tianjin Dagu, and the right can be attacked by Lushun Shengjing, whether it is to deal with Chongzhen or Huang Taiji, it is an excellent position. From this point of view, it is imperative for this patrol father to send troops to Shandong and join forces with Xie Wenjun. This is called "Weng Son-in-law" teaming up, Denglai I have it!

He turned his head to look at Xie Wenjun, who was a little nervous and uneasy—although she didn't hear Xia Nan's whispers, but she heard the clues from her uncle's words—he made up his mind in his heart, if he needed to tie the Xie family to his chariot with a marriage relationship, what if he accepted Xie Wenjun? Although the two of them have not met happily many times, after knowing Xie Wenjun's careful thinking, Xia Nan has a little less resistance to her - just like an adolescent boy likes to bully her when he meets a girl he likes, Xie Wenjun is just a cover up when he talks to him with a gun - not to mention that in terms of cultivation, knowledge, appearance, and family background, Xie Wenjun is not bad at all.

Xia Nan made up his mind, so he said to Mu Tianyan: "Hearing what Futai said, I have to go to Shandong, if you don't give me a satisfactory answer today, I won't leave." ”

Mu Tianyan scolded with a smile: "The dignified general, you are so lazy!" I understand your thoughts, but Guangdong and Shandong are thousands of miles apart, what reason can you send troops to Shandong? ”

Xie Wenjun touched his somewhat hot cheeks, calmed down, and said, "Although I don't know the cause and effect, if I want to send troops from Guangdong to Shandong, I have an idea. ”
