Shen Yi still attaches great importance to Ling Su and Xue Wei.
Because these two people were able to come up, it was basically Master Shen who single-handedly promoted them, so the two of them also knew Shen Yi very well.
To put it more bluntly, even if Shen Yi does not have any official position in the Anti-Japanese Army, as long as these two people are there, Shen Yi's words will be effective. But if one day, these two people are no longer in the Anti-Japanese Army, the successor may not be I will buy Mr. Shen’s account again.
Therefore, Shen Yi does not want these two people to go astray. If possible, he even hopes to train these two people into generals like Qi Yuanjing and Yu Zhifu. In this way, Shen Yi will have two generals under his command. When he works in the Ministry of War in the future, Then you will be able to do it easily.
After Haosheng had a conversation with Ling Su, Shen Yi pondered for a while and then said: "This time, some of the Japanese prisoners brought to Fuzhou Prefecture were beheaded in Fuzhou City for public display, and the other part were beheaded in the coastal prefecture of Fujian Province. As well as the coastal state capitals of Guangdong, they beheaded people in public to serve as a warning to evildoers."
The two anti-Japanese generals nodded respectfully and said: "I obey my orders."
Shen Yi paused and continued: "After the matters here in Fujian are finished, you will go back to Wenzhou and continue training near the shipyard. After the warship is launched, you will start training for naval battles."
Having said this, Shen Yi raised his head, glanced at Ling Su, and whispered: "Without an order from the imperial envoy and me, no one is allowed to enter the anti-Japanese army camp or the anti-Japanese army ship, and neither are people from the local government."
Ling Su bowed his head respectfully and said: "I obey my orders!"
Having said this, after hesitating for a moment, he lowered his head and took out a three-inch mahogany sword from his sleeve. He held it in both hands and handed it to Shen Yi. He lowered his head and said: "Mr. Shen, Madam is about to give birth. I know that you He didn’t accept gifts, so in his spare time, I found a piece of wood that had been struck by lightning and whittled a wooden sword.”
Ling Su probably had never done this kind of favor before, so he stuttered a little when he said these words.
"I heard from the old people that the peach wood sword can ward off evil spirits. Mr. Shen took this wooden sword back to the young master as a token of his subordinate's gratitude."
As soon as he said these words, before Shen Yi could speak, Xue Wei's eyes widened. He looked at Ling Su and then at the wooden sword in Ling Su's hand, his face full of disbelief...
No one told him that Shen Yi's wife was going to have a baby.
No one told him what gift to give Shen Yi...
Thinking of this, Xue Wei couldn't help but glance at Ling Su again. This big and fierce general brother felt a little bit resentful in his heart.
These officials are too narrow-minded...
Shen Yi naturally saw the expressions of these two subordinates. He smiled dumbly, reached out to take the wooden sword, and said with a smile: "It's not necessarily a boy, but Ling Qianhu's kindness, I will do it for this unborn child." The child suffered."
Hearing Shen Yi's words, Xue Wei looked even more embarrassed. He clasped his fists at Shen Yi, lowered his head and said: "Mr. Shen, this subordinate... I don't know..."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said: "You don't need to give me anything, just lead the troops and train them."
Xue Wei looked embarrassed and groped for a while on himself. Finally, he cruelly pulled off a jade plaque from his neck, held it in both hands, lowered his head and said: "Mr. Shen, I really don't have anything to give to you." Yes, this piece of jade was given to me by my sister. I have worn it since I was a child. If Mr. Shen doesn’t dislike it, just give it to the young master!"
Shen Yi took the jade plaque and took a look at it.
The material of this jade plaque is turbid. Although it is colored, it is not transparent at all. The carving is also very rough. It looks like a cheap thing at first glance.
But maybe because it has been worn for a long time, the surface of the jade medal has become quite rounded and has a little jade luster.
He has known Xue Wei for a long time, so he naturally knows the life experience of Xue Baihu. Xue Wei's family is from a military family, and the military family is hereditary. Since he can enter Linhai Guard, it means that his father is dead long ago.
To be precise, both parents died, and the eldest sister married far away, and it was the kind of distant marriage where she could not be contacted.
Shen Yi took it in his hand and took a look at it, then put it back into Xue Wei's hand with his own hands, sighing slightly: "I said I don't want your things..."
As he said that, he glanced at Ling Su next to him, hesitated for a moment, and continued: "If you really want to give something as a gift, just prepare something else and have someone take it to Jiankang and give it to me."
"This thing is precious, so you should keep it alive."
Xue Wei stretched out his hand to take the sign and was silent for a while. He didn't say anything more, but nodded heavily.
…………
After staying in Fuzhou Prefecture for a few days and settling down the anti-Japanese troops, it was already late November. Shen Yi hired a carriage in Fuzhou Prefecture and prepared to set off back to Jiankang.
At this time, I set off to return to Beijing. If everything goes well, I should be able to return to Jiankang in early twelfth lunar month to catch up with my wife's delivery day.
When Shen Yi left, naturally many people wanted to see him off. In addition to Li Mu, the imperial envoy who was in Fuzhou, there were also officials from Fuzhou Prefecture and generals from the anti-Japanese army.
Ling Su, Xue Wei and a dozen of hundreds of households who resisted the Japanese army.
The anti-Japanese army now has a full strength of five thousand people. In theory, there should be five thousand households. However, now only Ling Su, a thousand households, is in charge of the entire army. The rest are temporary establishments. For example, Xue Wei has a hundred households. As a householder, he can also bring one to two thousand people.
The reason for this is that military attachés with the price of Qianhu are already of a very high grade. If you want to approve them, you need to go through the procedures slowly at the Ministry of War.
A group of people sent Shen Yi all the way out of Fuzhou City four or five miles before Shen Yi said goodbye to everyone. Imperial envoy Li Mu personally sent Shen Yi to his carriage and said with a smile: "On this trip back to Jiankang, remember to visit the Jin Palace." , I want to report to my parents that I am safe. I hid my injury from them a few days ago, but His Majesty told them again, which made the whole family uneasy and wrote dozens of letters to me."
Shen Yi smiled and nodded: "Of course I have to go to Prince Jin's Mansion. If the prince has any letters, I will take them back with him."
Li Mu took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Shen Yi: "I wrote it overnight yesterday."
Shen Yi took the letter, held it in his arms, and asked, "Will the prince return to Jiankang this year to celebrate the New Year?"
Li Mu hesitated for a moment, shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know. I have to go south to Guangdong to have a look. If there is nothing going on there, I should be able to rush back before the new year."
At this point, he sighed slightly: "To be honest, although I have been out over the years, I have never been away from Jiankang for more than half a year. Now I am feeling a little homesick."
With that said, he patted Shen Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, it's getting late. Zi Heng should leave quickly, so as not to delay your return to see your wife."
His Royal Highness was all smiles.
"From here to Jiankang, if there is no delay, it will probably take less than half a month."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "I have to go to Wenzhou Mansion. There are some craftsmen there who also want to go back to Jiankang. I will take them back along the way."
Li Mu didn't take those craftsmen seriously, nor did he take it to heart when he heard the words. He just continued to smile and said: "Zi Heng is going back this time. Don't be in a hurry to come back after the New Year. Remember to go and see the prince getting married." lively."
Shen Yi naturally knew what Li Mu was talking about. Hearing this, he just shook his head slightly, turned around and got on the carriage, and then turned to look at Li Mu.
"This has nothing to do with me. I don't want to watch this excitement..."
