The emperor's express instructions are very simple and easy to understand.
It means that Mr. Shen worked hard for the country and worked for his emperor, but he was almost killed. Although he didn't die, the emperor was a little embarrassed.
So the emperor planned to compensate Mr. Shen.
For officials, the best compensation is naturally a promotion.
However, things like promotion are not entirely decided by the emperor alone.
It is best to discuss with the ministers below, such as the Prime Minister, the officials of the Ministry of Personnel, and the chief officials who have been promoted to the Yamen.
This is not only the case in the Chen Kingdom, in fact, in the other world of Shen Yi's memory, it is also the case in most dynasties. Everyone discussed it, but during the Qing Dynasty, the imperial power reached its peak, and the emperor could forcibly promote officials based on his own likes and dislikes, so that was another matter.
Forget it.
At least in the Chen Kingdom, the emperor could not force it alone, otherwise even if it was implemented, there would be a stalemate.
Therefore, if the emperor wants to promote a person, he generally needs to have sufficient qualifications. If the qualifications are sufficient, the emperor can mention the matter to the Ministry of Personnel and the Yamen concerned.
Of course, in addition to qualifications, sufficient merit is also acceptable.
For example, the sentence the emperor asked Lu Sheng to pass is clearly telling Shen Yi that he should fight against the Japanese pirates a few more times during this period, and then write a more beautiful letter asking for merit. Then the emperor will have
The reason is that Shen, who has moved three times in two years, is moving for the fourth time.
Shen Yi is now the head of the Ministry of War at the sixth rank. Considering his current position, no matter how he is promoted in a short period of time, he will still be working in the yamen of the Ministry of War. Therefore, if he is promoted again, he will most likely be in the Ministry of War.
The doctor of the Ministry of War did not dare to think that as long as the emperor could replace Shen Yi with a member of the Ministry of War, the fire would not be in vain!
After receiving the emperor's "hint", Shen Yi rested in his new residence for two or three days. On the fourth day, he changed into new clothes, walked out of his house, and walked on the streets of Yueqing.
Because Mr. Shen hadn't gone out for a long time, this time he went out and had noodles at a noodle shop along the roadside.
Shen Yi felt very at ease eating this meal of noodles.
This was the store he chose on the spur of the moment. If Qi Ren could predict it in advance and poison him in the store, then Shen Ziheng's death would not be unjust.
After finishing the noodles, Mr. Shen paid the money and walked towards the anti-Japanese army camp outside the city.
After all, it had been a long time since I had returned to the anti-Japanese army camp. After returning to the anti-Japanese army camp, some anti-Japanese army generals saw Shen Yi and immediately gathered around him to ask about Shen Yi's physical condition.
Many of these anti-Japanese generals, whether they were Baihu or general banners, were recruited by Mr. Shen himself, and they still had great affection for Shen Yi.
Shen Yi was not angry after being surrounded by people. He explained to them with a smile that he was fine. After talking for a while, he was invited to the handsome tent by everyone.
At this time, of the two thousand households in the camp, only Ling Su and Ling Qianhu were present. As for Xue Wei, he took some soldiers on board the ship for training.
At Shen Yi's request, Ling Su quickly gathered all the households in the handsome account.
After everyone gathered, Shen Yi sat on the commander's seat, then glanced at everyone, with a smile on his face: "A few days ago, something small happened in Yueqing. You must already know about it. I'd like to thank you for your concern. Now this incident has happened." The matter is over, I am safe and sound, so don’t worry about it."
As soon as Shen Yi finished speaking, a straight-tempered Baihu asked Shen Yi to live directly in the anti-Japanese army camp to prevent any more traitors from causing trouble.
As soon as he said this, other people immediately followed him, and the handsome tent suddenly became noisy.
Shen Yi coughed and frowned slightly.
Ling Su also looked at everyone coldly.
The handsome account immediately became quiet.
Mr. Shen cleared his throat and continued: "Whether I live in the camp or not will be discussed later. Now, let me talk to you about the business."
"It has been more than two months since our big ship to fight the Japanese troops was launched."
"In addition to the big ships, there are more than a hundred other small ships."
Some of the boats used by the anti-Japanese army were purchased by Shen Yi from fishermen and merchants along the coast.
And more parts were seized from Japanese pirates.
Mr. Shen spoke calmly and said slowly: "Now, our army has crushed the Japanese pirates in terms of food, grass, ships, and combat morale. It's time to completely clear out eastern Zhejiang."
Hearing Shen Yi's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all looked happy.
Ling Su's expression changed slightly. He took a breath with excitement and looked at Shen Yi: "Master Shen, are you going to... hit Li Jielang?"
Li Jielang, this half-Japanese pirate name, was given to himself by the Japanese pirate leader.
He is a pure Japanese.
Perhaps because of this, Li Jielang's force is the largest among the many Japanese pirate groups in eastern Zhejiang. According to reliable information, this Japanese pirate group has two to three thousand combatants alone!
If you include the people these people plundered and the "family members" in their strongholds, the number may exceed 5,000!
Before this, Shen Yi had been cleaning up some small and medium-sized Japanese pirates. As for Li Jielang's group, he could only choose to put it aside.
Because the anti-Japanese army also needs to grow.
However, there are hidden dangers in this kind of shelving. After all, so many Japanese pirate "companions" were suppressed by the imperial court. It is impossible that Li Jielang did not have any information. At this time, this group of Japanese pirates is most likely on extreme alert.
However, Shen Yi's intelligence reserves for this group of Japanese pirates were very sufficient. Even without the advantage of a sneak attack, he was confident enough to eat this big group of Japanese pirates.
At the same time, I also take a big share of the credit.
Shen Yi nodded silently.
He glanced at Duo Baihu and said calmly: "It's only happened in the past half month. This time, if not all of our army will be dispatched, at least 70 to 80% of our troops will be dispatched. Everyone must go back and prepare for the situation. Actively prepare for war."
"If we win this battle, the entire sea surface in eastern Zhejiang will be clean for at least ten years."
Mr. Shen looked calm: "When the time comes, I will personally ask for your credit!"
Hundreds of households were extremely excited and applauded.
After this mobilization meeting, Mr. Shen asked hundreds of households to disperse, leaving Ling Qianhu alone.
He took out a few documents from his arms, placed them in front of Ling Su, and said, "Ling Qianhu, I got this, all the information about the Japanese pirates' lair. Take it back and study it in the next few days."
Ling Su was startled, and then asked: "Master Shen, do you want to call Xue Qianhu back and watch together...?"
"You read it first, and then give it to him after you finish it."
Shen Yi looked calm: "In this battle, you will be the leader and let Xue Wei be your deputy."
Upon hearing this sentence, Ling Su's hands trembled.
This is a rare and great achievement! It is a much greater achievement than the battle on Wusha Island!
If he can take this credit, Ling Su's official career limit will immediately rise a lot!
He couldn't help but be excited.
"Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your trust!"
Ling Su bowed his head respectfully: "Subordinate...obey!"
Shen Yi waved his hand and yawned: "I will stay in the camp these days. When Xue Wei comes back, you can discuss a charter together and show it to me."
After saying this, Shen Yi looked around at the handsome tent and asked with a smile: "Is it okay for me to live here?"
Ling Su bowed his head respectfully: "This is a handsome account prepared for your lord. Neither my subordinates nor Xue Qianhu have ever lived here."
"That's good."
Mr. Shen smiled and said, "Then I will stay shamelessly."
Ling Qianhu clasped his fists and said, "My brothers are all happy that you can come back and live here."
Mr. Shen glanced at Ling Su and said with a meaningful smile: "Ling Qianhu, this battle must be won."
"It is related to our future in fighting the Japanese army."
"It's also related to..."
Having said this, Shen Yi paused and then continued.
