Looking at the jade ring that was being forced on his hand, Liu Zhaosun was speechless. The feeling that he was almost the same age but was old-fashioned and arrogant was really awkward.

It's not easy to get angry.

"Don't you thank Eunuch Wei?"

Liu Jing knew that his son was awkward, but Eunuch Wei said just now that he could hear it comfortably. Since Xuande, the Ming Dynasty has been a rare number of awards for its military merits, and there are only a handful of them.

Only Li Chengliang was awarded the title for his military merits in this dynasty. Even Qi Jiguang, whose reputation surpassed Li Chengliang, was never awarded the title, but was only promoted to the Shaobao.

Another example is Ma Gui, who was granted the title of the Right Governor and was granted the title of the generations.

Another example is Chen Lin, who was awarded the title of Prince Taibao and hereditary commander of his descendants.

Therefore, it is a dream for military generals of this dynasty to be awarded a title, but it is really difficult.

Now Eunuch Wei is going to ask grandson to earn a marquis for the Liu family. This is what Liu Jing, who is seventy years old, can he not be angry?

He, Liu Zhen, has never been convinced of anyone in his life!

Let’s talk about what achievements did Li Chengliang have? Which of the three major battles have he fought?

However, Liu Jing defeated the Burmese gangs, Luo Xiong, Korean Japanese, Boqin, and Pingye. He fought hundreds of battles. The three major battles fought two battles. Now he has cleaned up the mess left by Li Chengliang in Liaodong. In terms of achievements, he is no worse than Li Chengliang.

But why has Liu Jing failed to go further after so many years?

Isn’t it because there is no one in the court?

When Li Chengliang was able to be named Ning Yuan, it was his eldest son Li Rusong, who was particularly favored in the emperor's heart!

Liu Jing didn't, but now he has it.

Eunuch Wei is not bad in the emperor's heart. Li Rusong is both the admiral and the admiral's personal army, and he has become an eunuch in the Liaodong garrison. I heard that his relationship with the Zheng family is very close.

In particular, Eunuch Wei seems to respect him very much, General Liu is also very fond of recruiting grandsons.

Although he is about the same age, his father-in-law is an internal minister and a trusted minister around His Majesty. He leads his personal army and his status. He really calls him a good nephew, so what's the point?

"Thank you, my father-in-law!"

Under the "coercion" of his father's eyes, Liu Zhaosun had no choice but to accept the fact that he was a generation younger than a eunuch for no reason.

"Why are you grateful? Our family is a poor man who digs food in the fields and speaks out. When we were young, our father told our family that whether it is poor or rich, we should be sincere to people and be kind to others. In this way, we will be better tomorrow."

As the father-in-law said, he pulled Liu Zhaosun, whose face was tight and very unnatural, and sat down next to Liu Yu. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. Of course, he did not forget to send it to Liu Yu and his son.

"Did your father-in-law smoke tobacco?"

Liu Jing also smokes, but the locals in the southwest like to smoke hookahs, so he has seen such dry tobacco, but has never smoked it.

"This is a good thing. Our family has tried our best to get it. The old general will try it and be like a living god."

As my father-in-law spoke, he took out a fire note and pointed it to Liu Yu. After clicking it, he habitually shook his hand, but he treated the fire note as a match.

The Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration has already tried to develop civilian products under the order of his father-in-law. Simple ignition objects such as matches have been made, but they have not yet been mass-produced and are only available in southern Jiangsu.

But I never thought that some gentry in Suzhou called the matches flowing out of the special zone "castration fire" because they hated Eunuch Wei's special zone and the imperial army infringed on their interests.

"Is that true?"

Liu Jing took a few sips half-believingly, and then nodded: "It's quite fragrant."

"Let's go back and get more for the old general. I'm used to the army, so the old general will get something else and cough." The father-in-law smiled and asked Liu Zhaosun why he didn't get it.

"I won't smoke this thing." Liu Zhaosun said in a muffled voice.

"It's okay if you don't smoke, this thing costs money. But I heard that there are quite a few people smoking in our Ming Dynasty. Our family is thinking about whether to send a book to the emperor, and that people who make cigarettes and sell cigarettes can also pay personal income taxes..."

Eunuch Wei was familiar with telling Liu Jing about his newly discovered ways to make money. Liu Jing had fought all his life and did not understand these. He vaguely felt that if the tobacco was taxed, it would be like a fishing person like a mining tax officer. It was not good.

Of course, I still have to accept what I should accept, so the two of them started talking.

Kang Yinggan, the general of Liu Shi's army, and the general of the Tongzhi Zanli Huang Zongzhou and others rushed over when they heard that the eunuchs of the personal army had arrived. (Author's note: This Huang Zongzhou is not the same as Huang Zongzhou, with the same name)

Seeing that the military supervisor came, Liu Jing stopped talking and introduced Eunuch Wei to Kang Yinggan and others. After everyone was polite, the Tongzhi Huang Zongzhou asked: "Jiannu has retreated west now. I wonder what Eunu Wei plans for the next step?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jing also looked at Eunuch Wei, and the old general also wanted to know what Wei Liangchen had plans below.

Eunuch Wei did not answer, but asked Huang Zongzhou: "How is the casualties of your army?"

"this..."

Huang Zongzhou was a little hesitant, and Liu Jing saw Fushou and said, "There is nothing to say about this, but Eunuch Wei knows it."

"Yes, General."

Huang Zongzhou briefly explained the casualties of each tribe that he had just obtained.

Before the war, Liu Jing's headquarters had more than 1,200 servants and more than 3,000 auxiliary soldiers. 11 officers were killed and more than 2,000 soldiers were injured.

Before the war, the Shandong Army of Zhouwen had 3,600 soldiers, more than 2,700 casualties were now, and only more than 800 were left.

Before the battle, the Zhou Yiming army of the Zhejiang Army had more than 3,400 soldiers, more than 2,500 casualties, and 24 generals below Zhou Yiming were killed.

Before the war, the Shangxueli Army of Jinzhou Army had more than 1,500 soldiers, and more than 900 casualties have been killed or killed. Shangxueli himself was also seriously injured.

Before the war, the East Village troops of Pidao had more than 2,600 soldiers, more than 1,500 casualties and four generals were killed and killed.

Yao Guofu, the head of the Sixth Camp of Nanjing, had 2,800 soldiers before the war, and more than 2,300 casualties have been killed and killed. Yao Guofu himself also sacrificed his life for the country.

After Huang Zongzhou finished reporting, Kang Yinggan shook his head and said, "According to the rough steps, each division has a total of less than 6,000 people, two-thirds of the casualties. The losses of horses and livestock cannot be counted for the time being, but it seems to be very large, and there are countless weapons."

"well."

Liu Jing knew that the divisions suffered a lot, but after hearing the exact number, he couldn't help but sigh. What is the concept of two-thirds of the death toll? If he were to be killed, Liu Jing would no longer have the power to fight.

"It seems that the actual situation of the old general here is even more serious than our family imagined," Eunuch Wei took a breath of cigarette.

"I wonder what Eunuch Wei plans?"

Kang Yinggan paused, "Jiannu has retreated westward. Do your father-in-law want to continue pursuing or wait for new orders from the court?"

"That's it,"

Eunuch Wei tapped on the table.

Seeing this, Liu Jing said, "If my father-in-law wants to withdraw the troops, I have no objection."

When Eunuch Wei saw that the other party misunderstood him, he hurriedly said, "Elder General, our family is not trying to withdraw troops, our family is just thinking about where to get some food."

"Grain?" Liu Zhen was stunned.
