My Daming New Empire

"Brother Nan, you said that if you really split up with a wife, should you stay in the capital or send you back to your hometown?"

Ma Dezhong curled his lips and said, "Of course you stayed in the capital and sent you back to your hometown. Who will warm your bed?"

He is an orphan, without father and mother, so he has no worries in this regard.

But Sunan and Duan Renzhi are different, especially Sunan, as the eldest brother, he is responsible for the whole family.

What's more, he left all the bounty at home now, even if he wanted to settle down in the capital, it would not be easy.

The housing prices in Beijing have been getting higher and higher these years. A small courtyard with two entrances costs 80 taels of silver. If the location is better, the price will be ridiculously high.

After settling down at home, one has to worry about the food and drink expenses of the family. Although the salary alone can live on, it is still tight.

It seems too unreasonable to let a beautiful woman live a hard life with him.

But sending him back to his hometown is different. At any rate, he is also the chief executive of the sixth grade now, and there are hundreds of acres of land in his family. He doesn't need money for food and drink, and he can help him take care of a few children.

But he was really reluctant to send it back!

The three of them discussed for a while, except that Ma Dezhong Shangyin was staying and was planning to buy a house in the capital to settle down, the other two still hadn't made up their minds.

The sky was getting brighter, the camp whistle sounded, and it was time for morning exercises.

The three of them were all promoted from small soldiers. The original Sunan was just a general banner, but now he is the commander of the first battalion.

After returning from Japan, the navy was reorganized. He was in charge of four commanders, plus a battalion led by himself, with a total of five ships, and nearly a thousand combat troops and logistics personnel.

Sunan knew that he had a weak foundation and poor management experience, so he didn't dare to neglect, he took the lead in every training, and tried his best to be the chief executive.

Fortunately, there are four generals in total, Duan Renzhi and Ma Dezhong are both his brothers, so of course they will obey him.

Although the other two generals looked down upon their three colleagues who had gotten away with shit luck, the fame of capturing dozens of Dongpu royal families was not a hindrance.

Although Sunan is inexperienced, he is good at learning and doesn't put on airs. At present, the atmosphere in the entire camp is not bad.

First, there is a ten-mile long-distance run, which is a morning exercise task that everyone in the navy must complete every day.Then according to the different responsibilities, there are various training programs.

After the morning exercise was over and it was time for breakfast, the sound of the entire water village suddenly became noisy.

Duan Renzhi didn't even want to eat, so he wanted to go back and change into the new military uniform, and then go to the headquarters of the Shuizhai to join the naval combat heroes from other ministries who lived there and enter the city together.

Because of this, he was teased again by Ma Dezhong.In fact, Ma Dezhong himself felt a little impatient.

During the meal, Sunan assigned general affairs to Bian Cheng, deputy general manager.Bian Cheng is an old soldier, in his early forties this year.He is not lucky like Sunan, he has just been the boss for several years.

So the boss also saw that Sunan lacked experience, so he arranged for him an experienced deputy.

But Bian Cheng has a milder personality. After getting in touch with Sunan for a period of time, he can also see that although he is young, he is mature and steady, brave in battle, and has made great contributions to him.

As long as such a person is not too bad luck, the future is limitless.So even if it was just to save some incense, he decided to do his best to help Sunan stabilize the situation.

After the meal, the three returned to their barracks. Under the service of the soldiers, they washed up and changed into brand new military uniforms.

When they arrived at the headquarters of the Shuizhai Camp, Commander Qian Zhuang was already waiting in the lobby with a group of generals.What surprised them even more was that Meng Ying, the deputy admiral of the First Fleet, was also sitting in the lobby.

Seeing a large group of generals looking at the three of them with smiles, the excitement of the three turned into panic, and they quickly knelt down on one knee and performed a military salute. "My subordinate Sunan brings Duan Renzhi, and Ma Dezhong pays homage to all the adults."

The First Fleet belonged to Taisun's own army, and there was no post of commander-in-chief or admiral. Meng Ying, Marquis of Baoding, was the highest officer of the First Fleet.

Meng Ying, Marquis of Baoding, was quiet and reticent. She liked reading and was good at riding and shooting.A corporal who loves his lover, lives in Xun Xun like a Confucian scholar.

But the command of the army is clear and solemn, and the steps are awe-inspiring. No one dares to commit crimes. You can be honest and selfless to win.

In the First Fleet, almost everyone respected him, even Sunan regarded him as an idol.

Meng Ying waited for them to finish their salutes, then nodded with a smile and said: "Sure enough, there are three generals. Although you are not going to fight today, You Sheng is going to fight. Today you are representing the First Fleet and the Xinjiangkou Shuizhai camp. Go to the headquarters Now, don’t lose the name of our First Fleet. Have you seen all the other heroes?”

Sunan clasped his fists and replied: "Two days ago, I met the heroes from all over the four major fleets one by one. Compared with them, we are just luckier and dare not say credit."

Meng Ying nodded and said: "If you can realize your own shortcomings, you have to catch up. It's getting late, so let's pick up other heroes and go into the city together."

Meng Ying spoke, and naturally no one refuted, and everyone followed him to the Concierge Courtyard.

The Concierge Courtyard is the guest room of the Xinjiangkou Water Village. This is the general base of the First Fleet. The First Fleet comes here every day to deliver messages. There is an endless stream of office workers. Most of these people directly live here.

This time the navy held a battle hero commendation meeting. Most of the battle heroes from the First Fleet lived here, and they only entered the city together today.

Most of these people are representatives elected by the various departments of the Navy. After verification of the military achievements of the headquarters, some of the lesser credits were removed, leaving 43 people.

These people are all credit for their lives. Some of them were seriously injured, and they were all disabled.Compared with them, Sunan really felt that they were lucky.

Together with the 43 of them and the generals above the garrison level, they boarded two boats.Because they were going to sail on the Qinhuai River, the two ships were not big, and they had a total of more than 100 people, which happened to be full.

An hour later, the boat arrived at the pier outside Guanghuamen, and everyone disembarked together, formed a team, and entered the city gate majestically.

When they arrived at the Naval Headquarters on Chang'an Xiejie, they found that they were the last group to come.

The battle heroes of the remaining three major fleets came earlier because they all lived in the city.However, there was no meeting scheduled this morning. We just gathered and had dinner, and the meeting started in the afternoon, so it didn't matter if we came late.

However, the generals of the First Fleet headed by Meng Ying were teased enviously by other fleet generals.

Sunan and the others are just small characters. Although they are the protagonists today, not many people pay attention to them.

The battle heroes like them were also sitting at the back of the venue with a little nervousness and anticipation, whispering together in small groups.

Seeing that there were no seats at the back, Sunan and the others didn't dare to sit in front, so they could only squeeze in behind one by one.

A group of generals dressed as clerks sent each of them a schedule, and they all held it in their hands and looked at it.

Originally, they thought it was just a commendation, and it might end soon, but after looking at the schedule, they realized that this commendation meeting would be held for three days.

Starting from this afternoon, a total of 120 of them, fighting heroes, will take the stage to give speeches and tell about their meritorious deeds.Some teams who have made meritorious deeds in battle can also go on stage together and send a representative to speak.

And each team has a quarter of an hour, and it is not enough to fill up the time.Therefore, this arrangement immediately caused those who are slow in speech to complain unceasingly.

Especially for a person who has made meritorious deeds alone, even if he wants to find someone to help him.

Many of the 43 people in the First Fleet were team members, like Sunan and the others, they were all three.

And among them was Duan Renzhi who could speak well, so this task was entrusted to him by the remaining two without explanation.

"Brother Nan, Brother Zhong, it's okay if I just talk nonsense, let me speak in front of the generals and grandchildren, I can't say it!"

"Then we don't care, whoever makes you talk the most."

"Then what am I talking about?"

"It's not mentioned above, just tell the story of the meritorious service."
