Chen Yixin knew that his wife was not concerned about the situation in Liaodong, but about her son Chen Pingliao.

Her precious son Ruming is serving in Liaodong. If he asks to be sent to participate in the war, there will be some risks, and the mother will definitely be worried.

Ma Yuling said: "Ping Liao is very young. Can I arrange for him to take risks when it comes to charging into battle?"

Chen Yixin put down his chopsticks and responded in a deep voice: "That kid is already over 20 years old, so young! When he came to Fushan County, he was only a few years older than him!"

"In the few years since he came back from Sanya, there were no wars in the north, and he couldn't get any military honors in the army. Finally, he waited for the opportunity. Do I really want to stop him from going to war?"

Chen Pingliao got his name from the great victory the Haihan Army achieved in Liaodong in 1636. Perhaps influenced by this, he has been interested in military affairs since he was a child, which coincides with Chen Yixin's plan to train him as his successor.

With Chen Yixin's status, it was easy to pave the way for his son. Therefore, when Chen Pingliao was a teenager, he was specially recruited to enter the command major of Sanya Army Academy, and later went to the Naval Academy to study for a year and a half.

Chen Pingliao was less than twenty years old when he returned to the north after graduation. He was a young man who had studied both land and sea, and had a bright future. The only drawback was that he lacked practical experience.

But when he came back, the wars between Haihan, the Ming Dynasty, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty had come to an end for the time being. Of course, there was no military merit to be gained, so he could wait for opportunities to gain seniority in the army.

Although Chen Pingliao's background gave him a first-mover advantage, promotion in the Haihan Army should be based on solid military merit. Chen Yixin could avoid suspicion and break the rules that had lasted for many years.

Ma Yuling said: "That kid has never been worry-free. I let him be on the battlefield because I was afraid that he would do something shocking when he swims incorrectly!"

Chen Yixin said: "Just ask him to kill the enemy and make meritorious service, and put other issues aside for now. He hopes that he can become an excellent commander, and not just a tool to obey orders in everything."

Chen Pingliao had many unconventional deeds in the army, and he also caused some minor troubles. For example, he led the cavalry into the Ming army's defense area, almost triggering a battle; he led his troops into the deep mountains and old forests without making a sound.

Xiang marched hundreds of miles away, causing chaos in the Jinzhou camp where no one could be found.

When Hong Kesi came to the north for inspection before, he was also surprised by Chen Pingliao's boldness. However, Chen Yixin thought that his son had some talents, but he still needed to be honed slowly in the army.

Seeing that his wife had a worried look on her face, Chen Yixin obviously did not feel relieved, so he continued to persuade: "A place as big as the Northern Region, with so many soldiers and horses, must have someone to take charge of it. Pingliao is not a mediocre person.

But he is not considered a genius. If he cannot prove his ability in the army, how can he safely let him inherit the family business in a month?"

"Even if he passes the test, if he doesn't have enough strength to take over, the executive committee will definitely arrange for someone else to replace him!"

Chen Yixin has been rooted in the north for more than 20 years and has managed a great situation. Once Qian Tiandun left, Haihan basically had the final say in military and political affairs in the territories of Shandong and Liaodong.

The Executive Committee will definitely not be happy to see such a large industry slowly becoming the private property of the Chen family. If Chen Yixin's descendants do not have enough ability to manage the Northern Region in the future, the Executive Committee will definitely not hesitate to make another decision.

Send someone to take over.

Now Chen Yixin dare not expect his son to take over the whole responsibility, but if he can take over the military power of the northern region, then he can at least stabilize the basic foundation of the Chen family. To do this, Chen Pingliao must be in the military.

After making some achievements, at least being promoted to a certain level, Chen Yixin can transfer the military power in his legs to him bit by bit.

The war must be fought, and it must be a large-scale national war. Otherwise, some military achievements will not be enough to push Chen Pingliao to a high enough position.

That's why Chen Yixin and Shi Diwen hit it off immediately and decided to make a fuss about Ming's assassin plan and take the opportunity to start a war.

In addition to taking the opportunity to attack the Ming Dynasty and expand their territory, both of them wanted to let their children and cronies use the opportunity to gain military exploits, and by the way, they could also use this opportunity to consolidate their status after entering the Executive Committee.

Ma Yuling was still unhappy and asked Chen Yixin: "Although their current family property is not as rich as the country, it can at least protect the livelihood of several generations. Even if their son cannot become a general, he will be a rich family tomorrow."

What's wrong with Weng, at least he can live out his life in peace."

Chen Yixin shook his head repeatedly and said: "Is that really a woman's opinion? If the power in his leg is transferred to an outsider, not only Ping Liao will be affected?"

"Countless officers in the Northern Army who are loyal to him, and countless industries related to them in Shandong and Liaodong will all be implicated!"

"Even if he doesn't think about his son, he still needs to think about the many people who depend on him and the long-term stability of the northern region!"

Chen Yixin paused and lowered his voice a little: "Maybe that is not the best way out, but before a better solution is found, Ping Liao must shoulder his responsibility!"

The situation Chen Yixin considered was far more complicated than what Ma Yuling was worried about.

During his trip to Hangzhou, in addition to contacting other members of the executive committee, he also met Tao Hongfang and other second-generation disciples.

Whether they pave the way for their children or not, Chen Yixin sees it all. Although he is the youngest member of the current executive committee, everything seems to be smooth and prosperous, but one day he will eventually retire.

If you want that influence to continue going eastward and benefit future generations, you must let Chen Pingliao stand up and become an illusion of support and loyalty to the military and civilians in the northern region.

First of all, Chen Pingliao wants to become a fighting hero and make everyone realize that he is fully capable of inheriting his father's mantle.

In the battle to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Pingliao had to participate in the battle, and he had to have convincing military exploits.

Ma Yuling didn't shut up for a long time. She didn't understand what Chen Yixin said, but she knew better that swords have no eyes on the battlefield.

Although the Haihan Army claimed to be undefeated, the Hall of Heroes on Zhifu Island was expanded several times in those years, and the number of memorial tablets enshrined was still increasing year by year, including many descendants of the Ma family who died in the army.

If war breaks out against the Ming Dynasty again, a new group of "critics" will probably have to be moved into the Hall of Heroes.

Chen Yixin comforted him warmly: "After Zhai Luici's combat mission was over, he arranged for Ping Liao to take a month's leave and asked him to come back and spend time with me."
