The mighty wheel of history was surging and irresistible, but Dong Ce put a small stone on the place where the wheel was about to fall, and after the wheel rolled over, he changed the direction of progress slightly. It may only change a very small angle, but when the wheel travels tens of millions of miles, this small angle can make two completely different results.

Liu Ruozai's words interrupted his reverie: "Actually, there are two documents in total. ”

Liu Ruozai looked at Dong Ce and said: "In that document, I told the official some things, some of which are related to you soldiers. ”

Dong Ce hurriedly listened carefully.

"What the imperial court means, you soldiers who have followed the official to Dacaotan can only take a small part to the capital, and even if you arrive in the capital, you can't enter the city, you can only camp outside the city." Liu Ruozai said: "The night before on the big grass beach, you fought very beautifully, which was also praised by the imperial court, but our relationship with the Chahar Department is not very different now, such as the Banzhou example, the Chahar Department has been subordinated to our Ming Dynasty, if there are a large number of soldiers to escort the nobles of the Chahar Department into the city, it will be a bit of a boast of military might, and the faces of those nobles of the Chahar Department must not look good." ”

"So only bring the road guards, and don't use the rest."

Liu Ruozai looked at Dong Ce and said, "Are you going?" ”

Dong Ce was stunned after hearing this, he pondered for a moment and said, "Subordinates don't go either!" ”

After listening to this, Liu Ruozai smiled approvingly: "What you think is the same as what the official thinks." ”

Dong Ce's reason for not going is simple: no good.

If he goes to the capital, it may have two purposes.

First, make friends with some powerful people, and the most important thing is to visit some officials of the Ministry of War. Because the Ministry of Military Affairs is in charge of the promotion and dispatch of military generals in the world, and if they are taken care of, then the career will go much smoother in the future. Although Dong Ce has Liu Ruozai as his backer, after all, it is impossible to rely on Liu Ruozai for everything, but also to establish his own network. Moreover, Liu Ruozai is too square, and sometimes Dong Ce doesn't dare to ask him to do something. Because he didn't have to open his mouth to know that Liu Ruozai would definitely not agree. Therefore, it is necessary to know some other people, not to rely on Liu Ruozai for everything.

The second purpose is to be bigger, he thought, to see if he can be summoned by Emperor Chongzhen once. With his understanding of Emperor Chongzhen's temperament, he is fifty percent sure that he can attract his attention after meeting the emperor and get the emperor's attention and appreciation. And in this era, on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it was appreciated by Emperor Chongzhen, and it was basically destined to rise to the top. The certainty of fifty percent is not high, but it is already very high compared to this major event. Not to mention fifty percent, two percent are sure that Dong Ce dares to take risks.

After all, if this happens, the rewards are too great. And even if it doesn't work out, there are no serious consequences. After all, he has just made great contributions with Liu Ruozai, and no matter how good the emperor is, there is no reason to slaughter heroes.

But now, neither of these goals can be achieved.

According to what Liu Ruozai said, this time it was clear that the emperor and the imperial court were unwilling to let these military generals who played a great role in subduing the Chahar Department show their faces, so they could only go to make a show of people, and they couldn't enter the city after they went.

What else does that mean?

can't enter the city, so the emperor doesn't have to think about summoning him, as for the relationship-the center of the family doesn't want to see you if it's clear, and you still have to get up, isn't it boring to talk about yourself? I'm afraid that anyone who visits will only get the opposite effect.

Dong Ce only weighed it lightly in his heart and made a decision.

There are no additional benefits if you go, and if you don't go, the benefits you deserve will not be less, so don't go. And if you go to the capital, you will have to go back and forth for thousands of miles, and I don't know how many things will be delayed.

Moreover, when Dong Ce's Rock Fort was just on the right track and flourishing, he always felt very unstable when he didn't sit there himself. Away from these days, I am always worried.

I don't know how many Dingkou, how many people, how many soldiers, and I don't know if the goal set for them when they left has been achieved? How many Lumi guns have been built? How many new fertile fields have been opened?

These are things he often thinks about.

If you go to the capital again, I am afraid that you will have to Chongzhen for nine years before you can return to Panshi Fort.

It's not okay to be away for so long.

What's more, there are people in the Rock Fort who are worried about it.

Liu Ruozai said with a smile: "I'm afraid that everyone wants to go to the capital, and if you think like this, I'm afraid you're the only one." Speaking of which, since you don't go to the capital, you just give up the quota to them, so when the official gives you a benefit, no one can say anything. ”

Dong Ce hurriedly thanked him, and secretly said in his heart, it is still Liu Ruozai who is scheming, and he can use such an opportunity to find more benefits for his own people.

But it was he who got the benefit, and he naturally couldn't have an opinion.

As for what the benefits are, Dong Ce didn't ask, anyway, since it is the benefit in Liu Ruozai's mouth, it must be a lot.

After saying a few more words, Dong Ce took his leave.

About half an hour later, someone came to pass the word, Governor Bai and Master Liu of Bingbei Dao summoned everyone to discuss in the main hall, and Dong Ce got up and went over unhurriedly.

By the time he arrived, everyone had already arrived, and they didn't know the news yet, and they all whispered and guessed the purpose of being recruited.

After a while, Bai Yiqing and Liu Ruozai came over together and gave way to each other, but Bai Yiqing sat in the first place, after all, Liu Ruozai's official position is still below him.

Bai Yi glanced at it and said slowly: "The will of the imperial court has come down. ”

This sentence made everyone's hearts tighten, and they quickly straightened their ears to listen, and even stopped their waists. They were all a little apprehensive in their hearts, and they didn't know what the court thought.

Bai Yiqing paused, hung everyone's appetite, and then smiled: "Your Majesty is very happy, and also praised all of us, this time we have made a great contribution, and everyone has a reward!" ”

As soon as these words came out, a burst of cheers suddenly sounded in the main hall, and everyone was overjoyed.

For them, the praise from the capital and the joy of the emperor seem to be a little too far away, and the most tangible thing is the real and genuine interests. Since there is a reward, it is a great thing, and it should be rejoiced!

Then, Yoo Ruozai announced something else.

First, it was the imperial court that urged the nobles of the Chahar Department to go to the capital for Hajj as soon as possible. Therefore, I have to go to the Chahar Department as soon as possible to convey this meaning of the imperial court to the nobles over there. The second is that there can be a part of the army to escort a few lords and nobles of the Chahar Department to the capital.

The first thing is just that, as soon as I heard the second thing, one of these generals present, one of them was counted as one, his eyes were a little red, and his snort was heavy.
