Huang Ming's heart was pounding and he was speechless for a long time.
Although he knew before returning to Beijing that there was a high probability that he would be promoted during this trip, Ren Ning's words still made him excited.
At Huang Ming's age, whether he goes to the Central Army Corps or Beihai Customs, it can be said that he will reach the sky in one step.
hehe.
Ren Ning smiled and signaled him to relax.
"Since you have trouble making a decision, I will make the decision for you."
"Go to Beiguan and work together with Mr. Xia. During the Dingxi counterattack, you could be regarded as sharing life and death."
What is Chabon doing?
When Huang Ming heard this, he knew that Ren Ning had carefully considered it for him, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Speaking of Xia Bangwei, he was a former captain of Dingxi County and an absolute iron-blooded general.
And Huang Mingna is also a person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes.
As the saying goes, when you meet a close friend, a thousand cups of wine is too little, and half a sentence is too much to talk about it. If two people have the same temperament, it will be easier to get along with them in the future.
As for the place of employment.
Although it is bitterly cold in the north, the central legion is too close to Star City, and the personnel within the legion are complex.
And he was born in the Zhenguo Duke's Palace. Even though he is now independent, he still bears the mark of the Zhenguo Duke's Palace on his body.
Once you join the central army, you will easily be crowded everywhere. It is better to be free in the far northern Xinjiang.
In addition, Huang Ming's first wife came from a wealthy family in Jinghu County in the north. After he went to Beiguan, he became more or less able to speak locally and could easily stretch his skills.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will live up to your Majesty's orders and guard the northern border for Your Majesty and the Empire."
"Congratulations."
There wasn't much wine, and a bunch of people came over with barbecues to congratulate me.
"Same joy, same joy." Huang Ming smiled happily as he clinked the meat skewers and celebrated with them.
Ren Ning ignored this and turned to look at the barbecue grill not far to the right.
There was a young general there who was completely sunburned and was feasting on a barbecue.
"Peace! Why are you hiding so far away?"
"Here we come!" Lu Ping'an was stunned, and quickly ran over grabbing the freshly roasted meat.
"The meat is roasted well." Ren Ning smiled, "Can you give me a try?"
Lu Ping'an subconsciously glanced at the little plum next to Ren Ning. Seeing that the little eunuch had no intention of stepping forward to test the poison, he hesitantly brought the most golden meat roasted in his hand to Ren Ning.
"Your Majesty, you know that my craftsmanship has always been sloppy, and the roast is far less delicious than Lei Er's. But if you like it, give it!"
Ren Ning naturally doesn't mind.
The two once crossed the sea together to deliver weapons and supplies to the Baekje Peninsula, and later fought a long war on the east coast of Baekje.
You are very familiar with and understand the other person's temperament, so there is no need to be polite at all.
He took the meat skewer that was still steaming with sesame oil and heat, blew on it for a few times, then tore it off and chewed it.
Uh-huh.
"It's not bad, it tastes much better than what I bake."
hey-hey.
Lu Ping'an smiled so hard that his mouth broke out.
"If your Majesty likes it, I will bake it for you."
"There's no rush yet."
Ren Ning called him to stop, and then took two things from Xiao Lizi's hand next to him.
Everyone took a closer look and couldn't help but be a little stunned.
It turned out to be a bead the size of an egg and an exquisite hairpin used by women.
The beads are shining brightly, and it looks like a rare treasure at first glance, but what the hell is a hairpin?
cough.
Ren Ning coughed lightly and looked around at everyone.
"Speaking of the fact that we have so many brothers here, it seems like you are the only one who hasn't gotten married yet, right?"
How is that possible?
Lu Ping'an subconsciously glanced at Xiao Lizi and saw the veins on the little eunuch's forehead pulsing.
"Back to Your Majesty, in fact, Wei Chen got engaged some time ago, and the wedding date will be at the end of the year."
"I know about this." Ren Ning smiled and nodded, "The woman is the eldest daughter of General Lifu Zhong of the East China Sea Barrier, right?"
"Your Majesty," Lu Ping'an was stunned, "I didn't expect such a trivial matter as Wei Chen..."
As he spoke, he came to his senses and coughed twice.
"Your Majesty's eyes are indeed as bright as a torch, and he sees everything clearly, and I am terrified."
Ren Ning didn't pay attention, but smiled and pointed at the generals present.
"Ping'an, you are a rare young talent in the East China Sea Barrier. In my heart, the marriage and childbirth of you people are major events related to the future of each legion and even the empire."
Lu Ping'an was grateful but also a little dumbfounded, "Your Majesty's words must be serious..."
Ren Ning shook his head and interrupted him directly.
"Look at everyone, all the brothers either already have children or will have children soon. Only your boy has not yet gotten married."
"In addition to worrying about the future successor of the East China Sea Barrier, I am also worried about whether your son will be bullied by their sons in the future."
Ha ha.
Lei Er over there laughed like thunder.
He was gearing up.
"Speaking of my son, my boy is coming out soon. I will train him well then. In a few years, I will beat your son to death."
cut.
A lot of people were dissatisfied.
"What a joke. Who is afraid of whom? Don't let Lei Er, your son lose the fight, just go home and cry."
"Hehe. My boy is now three years old, and he can ride horses very fast. Lei Er, are you sure your son wants to fight him?"
"Oh, what a coincidence, my son is also three years old. I'll let the younger ones practice later."
"Just practice, no one is afraid of whom."
…
After all the fun, Lu Ping'an frowned and felt a little worried about his future son.
Finally, he choked out, "What is my son afraid of? It's just that you are all on land. If you have the guts, come to the sea and try it."
Everyone was speechless for a while.
This is a problem.
Yu Ziping from the Yanhui Corps smiled, "It's not like there are no people at sea,"
He looked left and right, and after a while he sighed.
"It's a pity that Prince Xiao, He Bai, Yu Haojiang and Wan Shilei are not here."
…
Ren Ning didn't stop him, he just looked at it all with a smile.
After the commotion subsided, he handed over the beads in his hand.
"The national treasury is empty, and my little treasury has no treasures. You wander around the sea all day long, so this water-proof bead should be regarded as my wedding gift to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Ping'an was overjoyed and quickly took it with both hands respectfully, "I will keep it well."
Ren Ning nodded and picked up the jade hairpin again.
"As for this jade hairpin, although it is simple in shape, it is the queen's favorite thing. She specially gave it to Miss Zhong, hoping that you two will have a happy marriage and have a son soon."
Lu Ping'an was excited and quickly turned around and saluted in the direction of Changchun Palace.
"I would like to thank the Queen on behalf of Miss Zhong."
"As for your position, I believe General Xiao will consider it carefully."
Ren Ning has seen Lu Ping'an's achievements over the years, but he is not prepared to interfere with the promotion and promotion within the major legions.
hey-hey.
Lu Ping'an didn't care.
"Your Majesty, I don't care about my official position, as long as I can continue to go to sea and fight in the future."
Ren Ning raised his head and took a deep look towards the south.
"I'm here to promise you that your wish will come true soon. You can train well when you go back."
Everyone was overjoyed, and Lu Ping'an was so excited that he bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ren Ning chatted with Chen Xiulan, Yu Ziping and other prisoners who were escorted back to Beijing, and finally looked at his former subordinate, Liang Rushi.
"Old Liang, you've been eating," he shook his head, "Aren't you full yet?"
hey-hey.
Liang Rushi quickly put down the meat skewers in his hand and ran over.
"Back to Your Majesty, I'm almost full."
He smiled and said: "In the past, in the military camp, you always taught us that food is the most important thing for the people, and there is nothing better than filling our stomachs."
Ren Ning didn't answer the question, raised his head and handed over a skewer of barbecue.
"Counting the time, the legion will move to defense soon, right?"
Liang Ru subconsciously stood at attention.
"Back to Your Majesty, the legions including Xingluo began to mobilize in August of the 31st year of Changxing. It is now the first year of Taixi, so it has been more than two years. According to imperial practice, all legions should be ready in August next year.
The defense has been moved."
"Imperial practice?" Ren Ning smiled slightly, "It's just that I have other ideas."
He looked around at all the young generals present and saw that everyone was holding their breath and pricking up their ears before continuing.
"From now on, I intend to change the defense deployment of each legion from every three years to every five years. What do you think?"
