The little lady of the Hou's Mansion who traveled through time

Everyone was taken aback when they heard Shen Yinghan's words, and then the soldiers present looked at Shen Yinghan with excitement in their eyes full of hope.

Dayu fought with the Qing Kingdom for a year, and now Shen Huayang also died in the battle. The new and old grudges were together, and almost all the generals of the North Army were reluctant to negotiate a peace.

For people like them, when they went to the battlefield and entered the Shen family to conquer the Northern Army, they had no option of being greedy for life or fearing death and retreating. They would rather die in battle than negotiate a peace, and go to cede land and pay compensation in exchange for surviving.

Hearing Shen Yinghan's words now, his blood boiled with excitement.

Even if Shen Yinghan couldn't beat any of them, but he was Shen Huayang's son, Shen Huayang died in battle, Shen Yinghan was a kind of spiritual sustenance for them to conquer the Northern Army.

When Shen Yinghan said that he would continue the fight, it was as if he had given them a weathervane.

Yang Kang was full of anticipation, stepped forward and asked, "Young Master, do you want to continue fighting?"

Shen Yinghan nodded, his eyes were firm, his back was straight, and he asked again: "Uncles, are you willing to follow me?"

Yang Kang was a little moved, but he didn't rush to agree. Instead, he looked back at the other brothers, wanting to ask for their opinions.

Just when everyone was hesitating whether to agree to Shen Yinghan, Father Deshun was full of displeasure, and stepped forward to ask: "Marquis Chang'an, what do you mean? The emperor sent you here to discuss peace, not to start a war."

Shen Yinghan looked at Father-in-Law Deshun, "We are going to fight down the territory of Qing Kingdom, and we will not give up an inch of it."

"Are you trying to resist the decree?" Deshun cupped his hands in the direction of the imperial city, threatening: "The emperor trusts Lord Hou to entrust you with this mission. Lord Hou must not disappoint the emperor's trust, and don't forget Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Beijing."

This clearly shows that the eldest princess is threatening Shen Yinghan.

Shen Yinghan frowned, tightly held the sword in his hand, and said, "Of course I won't forget my mother in Jingzhong, but I won't forget the Shen family's family motto either."

Shunde continued: "If Master Hou acts according to the emperor's order, don't blame the servant for reporting the truth to the emperor."

Shen Yinghan looked at Shunde with cold eyes.

At this time, Jiang Shangyuan kicked Shunde to the ground from behind, and then tied him up.

Jiang Shangyuan: "Slave, don't you even look at this place. Threatening Young Master in front of our North Army, you don't take our brothers seriously!"

Shunde struggled and roared, "Jiang Shangyuan, you are presumptuous, but I represent the emperor."

Hearing this sentence, Jiang Shangyuan kicked him even more unceremoniously. Seeing Shunde screaming in pain, he felt happy, so he stomped on him a few more times to vent his frustration on the road.

Jiang Shangyuan was a military general, and Shunde couldn't take it anymore when he went down a few times. He groaned a few times, and clamored to sue the emperor.

Hearing this, Yang Kang stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Shangyuan, shook his head and said, "Old Jiang, he was sent by the emperor after all."

Jiang Shangyuan said angrily: "It's because he was sent by the emperor that I wish I could kill him." He stopped beating Shunde and said to Yang Kang, "The general is the only son. Now the general has just left, and the emperor asked him to kill him." The young master came to negotiate a peace. Have you read the contract?"

The generals present looked at each other in dismay, and someone said: "We only know a rough idea, it seems that fifteen cities in the north will be cut off."

"Then are you willing?" Jiang Shangyuan asked sharply.

Yang Kang said: "Of course I don't want to, not to mention fifteen cities, even if it's just an inch of land, we don't want to let it out."

Jiang Shangyuan: "Yes, but the emperor is willing. Not only did he agree, but he also asked the young master to come and sign the contract. If the master signs the contract, he will be a sinner for the Qing Dynasty." He pointed to the coffin behind Shen Yinghan, "General As soon as he died, the emperor ruined his only son's reputation and bore him an eternal infamy, so how can I not be angry?"

After Jiang Shangyuan finished speaking, Yang Kang and others also showed anger.

They were all followers of Shen Huayang. Now that Shen Huayang died in battle, his only son was treated like this by the emperor. As an uncle, he was naturally dissatisfied with what the emperor had done.

Most of the military generals were simple-minded, but they could also see that the emperor's behavior clearly meant to cut off Shen Yinghan's future and the Shen family's hope.

Yang Kang said: "This contract must never be signed."

Jiang Shangyuan nodded, looked at Deshun who was stepped on by him, and frowned, "If you don't sign, you will resist the decree. It will be a death penalty for Lord Hou if you go back."

Yang Kang and the others frowned and looked at Shen Yinghan one after another.

After some hesitation, Yang Kang stepped forward and asked Shen Yinghan: "Master Hou just took me to continue fighting against Dayu, was it just for self-protection?" He looked at Shen Yinghan, saw that his face was pale and sick, and he let out a long sigh "If Lord Hou wants to protect himself, he only needs to stay in the army. Although we have no skills, we will still protect Lord Hou well. As for whether to fight or make peace, let us handle it."

Shen Yinghan sighed softly, and said, "Uncle, do you think I'm leading the battle just to avoid infamy?"

Yang Kang didn't speak.

Shen Yinghan asked again: "Which one is more frightening to me, fighting a war or signing a contract?"

Shen Yinghan's health is not good, war is hard work, it's freezing cold, with his physical condition, even if he doesn't die in battle, he will die of illness.And signing, that is, being scolded a few times, even if he writes verbally and pens later, it will not hurt his body in the slightest.

Shen Yinghan: "I signed it, and I followed the emperor's wishes. After all, I am his nephew, and with my mother around, he will not continue to embarrass me in the future. I can sign this letter and cut off this land. If you are notorious, you can still escape back to the capital, hide in the Marquis’s mansion, and live my rich life. But my surname is Shen, and the blood on my body does not allow me to be a worthless person. There are not many, but I would rather die in battle and let Dayu iron hooves step on my bones than allow them to occupy my mountains and rivers and kill my people."

He explained the pros and cons and expressed his own thoughts.

He wants to fight, not for self-protection, but for a man to defend his family and country, his blood cannot be cooled.

Shen Yinghan continued: "Today we ceded 25 cities, and tomorrow it will be [-] cities. When the Northern Army takes a step back, the people and relatives behind us will step forward. From now on, your hometown, my hometown, will become Yaocheng is like this. The battle between Qingguo and Dayu will be fought if it cannot be won, and behind us is our home country."

Everyone looked at Shen Yinghan and felt that this child was so weak compared to them, but his words made them feel that he was powerful.

At that moment, it seemed that Shen Huayang, who was their backbone, had returned.

Yang Kang took a breath and said, "Since I joined the Northern Army, I don't care about life or death. The Marquis is not willing to sign that shit contract, and neither are we!" Yang Kang turned his head and looked at the brothers present. , Yang Kang stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said: "I am willing to follow the young master, to defend the territory of Qing Kingdom to the death, and to keep my people safe."

Afterwards, the other generals also took a step forward.

"I am willing to follow the young master, defend the territory of the Qing Kingdom, and keep our people safe."

Seeing such scenes, Song Sijun felt his blood boil.

This is probably the case for soldiers with iron blood. Even if they know that the road ahead is a sea of ​​swords and flames, even if they know that the next step is a shroud of horse leather, they still go forward without hesitation for the country and the people behind them.

Shen Yinghan's words moved everyone in the Zhengbei Army, and they also made up their minds to fight Dayu.

But war is not just talking about it, there are many things to be prepared, understanding the battle situation, mobilizing troops, and how to use the right time, place and people are all learning literature.

Song Sijun didn't understand these things, all he could do was watch from the sidelines and pour a cup of hot water for Shen Yinghan and the others.

Jiang Shangyuan tied up Deshun so that he would not notify the emperor in advance and ruin the plan here.

Afterwards, the backbone of the Northern Army had a discussion with Shen Yinghan.

None of them were foolish people. Although they swore allegiance to Shen Yinghan just now, they still didn't have much confidence in Shen Yinghan, the young master.

People in the army are mostly straightforward, so Yang Kang said straight to the point: "Young Lord, although you are the only son of the general, you do not know the art of war and have never been on the battlefield. Although we say we are loyal to you, I am afraid we can't." Follow your orders."

Jiang Shangyuan also stood by Yang Kang's side at this time, and said: "Master Hou, we don't look down on you. Our brothers are willing to go through fire and water for you. It doesn't matter if you lose a life, but tens of thousands of lives were lost in the Northern Army. , I can’t practice for you.”

Shen Yinghan was not angry when he heard this. He nodded in understanding, and said, "I understand what you think, uncles. After all, I live in the backyard all year round, and I am lingering on the sick bed. It is normal that all uncles cannot trust my ability. Uncle gave me a chance to prove myself."

"Young Lord," Yang Kang said with a look of embarrassment on his face, "leading soldiers to fight is not just a joke, and it's not something you can try if you think you can do it. If you give it a try, what you pay for is your life. "

Since everyone's lives were at stake, Shen Yinghan also hesitated.

Yang Kang continued: "It's good for Lord Hou to have such thoughts. But Lord Hou is young and still has the opportunity to learn. After the war, Lord Hou only needs to boost morale and lead troops to fight, and leave it to us."

In other words, let Shen Yinghan be the nominal commander.

Yang Kang continued: "Although I can't wait as long as the general, I have accumulated a lot of experience over the years, so I can still handle it for a while." He was not sure of winning this battle, but only thought about how long he could delay it.

After pondering for a while, Shen Yinghan nodded in agreement, not clinging to the authority of commander-in-chief, but said: "I also hope that when uncles discuss matters, they can bring juniors with them."

Shen Yinghan is Shen Huayang's only son, and he is also the spiritual leader of the main combat faction. With his status, it is absolutely impossible for him to leak secrets, so he can naturally sit in and study.

Yang Kang and the others nodded, "Of course it's possible." Then, they looked at Song Sijun beside him.

At this time, Shen Yinghan realized that he was busy talking about things just now and forgot to introduce Song Sijun.

He briefly introduced: "My wife, Song Sijun."

After Yang Kang and the others found out about Shen Yinghan's marriage, they were stunned for a moment, and they still greeted Song Sijun, and Song Sijun also politely returned the junior salute.

Just judging from the attitude of Yang Kang and others, they don't trust Song Sijun so much.

It's normal to be cautious about military affairs.

Song Sijun could also understand, so he said: "If there is something to discuss, I will go out and wait."

Yang Kang replied: "Then please ask Madam to wait outside for a while."

Sure enough, he still didn't believe Song Sijun.

Seeing this, Shen Yinghan frowned slightly, and exchanged a glance with Song Sijun, seeing Song Sijun shaking his head, he didn't say anything, watched Song Sijun go out, and closed the door behind him.
