Unparalleled Concubine - v2 Chapter 1130
Chapter 1130 Two Mu families
As Li Shuo said, firearms are the foundation of the Southwest Army. In addition to firearms, it is still a problem whether the hundreds of thousands of Southwest soldiers can get out of the capital, let alone all the way to the capital as they are now.
Therefore, re-establishing a firearms battalion directly under Li Xin is indeed what should be done at the moment. The next day, Li Xin came to the Qianguo Gongfu of Yonglefang and found Muying.
Since the Southwest Army entered the capital and received a reward, it must have everything that should be there. For example, when Mu Ying was awarded the title of Duke of Qian, the court selected a county king’s house from Yonglefang Li and changed it to Qian. The Duke’s mansion gave him residence. In addition, Li Shuo’s Pengyuan mansion was also under construction, and it could be completed in one or two months at most.
Li Xin arrived at the Duke’s Mansion of Qianguo, and before he stepped in, Mu Ying, who was dressed in black, went out to greet him. After seeing Li Xin, Mu Ying immediately stepped forward and saluted, and said, “What’s the matter with the governor? If someone brings a message to me, I will immediately go to the Grand Governor’s Mansion to meet him, where is the reason for the superior to visit the inferior official?”
Li Xin laughed.
“The two of us are close together, so we don’t have to be so troublesome. Besides, I still have something to discuss with Brother Mu when we visit the door this time. If you want to let Brother Mu you bleed, naturally I should come to visit Brother Mu.”
Mu Ying stepped aside and said with a smile: “What is the command of the Governor, even if he said that, if there is no Governor, Mu Ying might just be a bandit and robber on the hilltop somewhere in the southwest, where can there be today’s scene?”
For Mu Ying, Li Xin has indeed completely changed his life. Without Li Xin, he is just a child of the Mu family in the southwest. Even if he can successfully take over and become the head of the Mu family, it is of no use. After all, Nanshu was at that time. The remnants are precarious, and they may be completely dispersed at any time, and they may fall into trouble at any time.
The time the two of them were talking, they had already entered the palace of the Duke of Qian. Li Xin walked in the courtyard of the palace, looked left and right, then stroked his palms and said, “Brother Mu, this mansion is even better than Master Ye’s house. To be more spacious, Brother Mu living here alone is a waste, have you considered bringing your family to the capital to enjoy happiness with you?”
Mu Ying said with a smile: “I have already written a letter to my family, and it will not be long before my wife will bring her only son to the capital, and her subordinates will be beaten to death. I have managed to establish this family business, and naturally I want to find them. Individuals will inherit.”
Mu Ying actually has two sons, but the eldest son changed his name to Li Xiu and became the king of Shu in the southwest. Since he changed his surname, he was not considered to be Mu family, so he would say “only son”.
The words have another meaning in secret, that is to say, starting 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 the Duke of Qian in the capital.
Li Xin half-squinted his eyes and said with a smile: “Now that the overall situation has been settled, our brothers don’t need to fear anyone, and we don’t need to be afraid of those rumors. According to my opinion, I will let my eldest nephew change back to Mu’s surname, the old Nanshu. The Li family has already been wiped out, and it makes no sense to let him surname Li for no reason.”
“Since he was asked to change his surname, there is no reason to change it back. Besides, his surname Li is not Li from the old Nanshu.”
Mu Ying bowed his head slightly and said with a smile: “He is the first adopted son of the Great Governor, so he just assumes that he is the same as the Great Governor’s surname Li Shi. In this way, his title as the King of Shu in the future can be considered justified.”
Li Xin walked in front and looked back at Mu Ying with a helpless smile on his face.
Indeed, Li Xiu was his first adopted son, but if his biological father was still there, the adopted son would follow the principle of the adopted father’s surname. Mu Ying said this, and the meaning in the words was very simple and straightforward.
That is, the Li family will become emperor sooner or later. When Li Xin ascends the throne, Li Xiu, the adopted son, will become the prince in a certain sense. In this way, the position of the king of Shu is justified.
The entire Southwest Group, from Li Shuo to Mu Ying, including the scholar who is familiar with the book of sages and sages, thinks about changing the surname in the world every moment, and when the time is right, even if Li Xin does not take the initiative to take that step, these people will Will do the old thing to reproduce the “yellow robe and body”, and push Li Xin to that position!
“Forget it, this is your Mu family’s family business, so I won’t interfere more.”
Having said this, Li Xin sighed slightly: “Actually, we brothers, we don’t need to be born like this. The position of the king of Shu was promised to your family. No matter what the surname of my eldest nephew, he is the king of Shu.”
Mu Ying smiled without saying a word, and the two walked to the main hall of the Qianguo Gong’s mansion together. Mu Ying invited Li Xin to the main seat, and then sat in the guest seat by herself. The two of them sat down and took a sip of tea. Li Xin opened his mouth and asked, “The governor just said that he has something to discuss with his subordinates. I don’t know if it is…”
Li Xin put down the tea and said calmly, “That’s it, 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 opinions, and I also listened to them, but I’m not sure yet. I have an idea, so I came here today to discuss with you, Brother Mu.”
Muying nodded and asked, “How is General Li’s injury?”
“The recovery is not bad. In another month, it should be fine.”
“That’s good.”
Mu Ying took a sip of tea and said with emotion: “I’m not afraid that the governor will blame him. Before he came to the capital, there were many generals of the Hanzhou Army, and he looked down on General Li Shuo in his heart. Only with the relationship of the great commander can we achieve the position of the general of Ningzhou, but after the Ningzhou army attacked the capital, the Hanzhou army all dispelled this idea.”
Mu Ying said with sincere emotion: “General Li Shuo looks like a weak scholar, and he fights so fiercely that even I am a little ashamed of myself.”
Li Xin looked 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. In the following years, he took tens of thousands of people to live on the border of Tubo, and he dealt with the Tubo people a lot. , Li Shuo, who is kind-hearted by nature, has a ruthless strength.
Mu Ying lowered her head slightly and said with a smile: “I’ve gone too far, the chief governor is still talking about business, and his subordinates also feel that the Southwest Army needs to be reorganized. What are your thoughts and orders, at most half a month, subordinates will make you beautiful Well done.”
Li Xin picked up the tea, took a sip of tea, and said lightly, “I originally wanted to mix the Southwest Army and the Gyeonggi Imperial Army together, but after discussing this idea with Li Shuo, I felt that it was a little inappropriate. I’ll put it aside and I’ll work on it later, but about the firearms battalion, a prototype has been negotiated.”
Li Xin put down the teacup, his face calm.
“What I mean is, separate the firearms battalions of the Hanzhou Army and the Ningzhou Army, and then create an independent system dedicated to firearms, which will also facilitate unified training. If there is a war in the future, we will recruit people from this system. , as a match.”
“This independent firearms battalion is tentatively named Shenji Camp.”
Having said this, Li Xin glanced at Mu Ying with a smile, and asked, “Does Brother Mu have any opinions on this idea? If not, I will arrange for someone to do it.”
Mu Ying hurriedly lowered her head and answered without hesitation.
“Of course my subordinates have no opinion.”
“It is a great thing to reorganize the firearms battalion. Although firearms are powerful, they must be trained intensively in order to be effective.”
