Chapter 414 The Family Will Prosper
Qin requested that the next title be conferred on Ningyang Marquis.
Cheng Bing'an became the eldest son of the Ningyang Marquisate. His Majesty promised that as soon as he came of age, he would be allowed to inherit the title of Ningyang Marquis.
This was discussed by Lu Lingyun and Qin.
Bing'an is the eldest son in the family. Lu Lingyun has no biological children, so Cheng Bing'an is her eldest son.
The title was naturally given to Bing'an.
As for Cheng Yunshuo, Lu Lingyun really felt that a title should not be wasted on him.
Even if he was awarded the title of Ningyang Marquis, she could naturally become the Marquis's wife, and there was no need to waste such a great favor.
Her path to destiny can also be borne by others.
After Cheng Bing'an succeeded the throne, Lu Lingyun found Cheng Binghao alone.
"Hao'er, are you unhappy about your brother's succession to the title?" Lu Lingyun asked him.
Cheng Binghao held his head high and said, "My eldest brother is the eldest son in the family, so it is only natural that he should inherit the throne. Moreover, our mother and grandmother are here, so your arrangements will definitely not be wrong. There is no reason for my son to be dissatisfied."
When Lu Lingyun heard this, a smile of great appreciation and satisfaction appeared in her eyes.
Of the three children she raised personally, the eldest, Bing'an, was steady, gentle and kind, while Binghao was hot-tempered and lacked the courage and heroism of his grandfather.
"Hao'er, mother has plans for you," Lu Lingyun called Cheng Binghao over, "mother wants you to follow your uncle Wang to join the army and go to Jiangnan, are you willing?"
"Uncle Wang?"
Lu Lingyun nodded solemnly.
Wang Qiluo's father, General Wang.
The Marquisate of Ningyang was a family with military merits gained through fighting on the battlefield, but the Marquisate of Ningyang had actually lost its foundation in the northwestern frontier.
Firstly, the old marquis died in battle, and Cheng Yunshuo's incompetent behavior broke the family inheritance; secondly, Cheng Qi returned to the northwestern frontier.
He inherited the old forces of the Ningyang Marquisate.
Lu Lingyun wanted to snatch it away, but she couldn't because no one recognized Cheng Bingan or Cheng Binghao who were so young.
Besides, Lu Lingyun didn't know much about the situation in the northwest, so it would be too difficult for her to go back and reestablish her roots.
But Lu Lingyun didn't understand the situation in the northwest, but she knew the situation in the south of the Yangtze River very well!
She is reborn!
She knew very well that the Japanese invasion would occur along the Jiangnan coast in the near future. In her previous life, General Wang should have been replaced by someone else because the Luo family fell early.
The general who quelled the rebellion was of mediocre ability, and the confrontation with the Japanese pirates actually caused a lot of suffering to the people in the south of the Yangtze River. In the end, due to the strong local forces, they won the saw-and-saw battle against the Japanese pirates.
If General Wang were to go instead, the losses would definitely be minimized!
Furthermore, the war against the Japanese pirates was a protracted war. The Japanese pirates came across the ocean and had a certain seasonality. When they ran out of food in their own country, or due to natural disasters or man-made calamities, they would cross the ocean to cause damage. The war against the Japanese pirates lasted for several years.
A prolonged war is sometimes not a bad thing, especially for the local military forces.
As the bandit problem persisted, they were able to continuously make military achievements, build up their own strength and influence in the local area, and stay away from the emperor, which made the emperor feel at ease and grateful for their sacrifices.
For this reason, some generals in certain places would even keep the enemy as their own.
Today, our country is prosperous and the people are safe, with only some minor disturbances on the border. The battlefield in the south of the Yangtze River will be the most important and promising place in the next few decades!
Not to mention, Wang Qiluo and Liu Shuhui are also in Jiangnan.
Liu Shuhui will surely become the high official of Governor-General of Jiangnan Grain Transport in the next few years.
At that time, the Wang family must have been the top family in Jiangnan.
She chose this brightest path for Cheng Binghao.
"Mother wants you to stay close to your uncle Wang. Wherever he goes, you go. Whatever he tells you to do, you do it. Do you understand?"
Cheng Binghao listened to Lu Lingyun's arrangement and said, "But why haven't I heard that Uncle Wang is going to Jiangnan?"
Lu Lingyun smiled and said, "Just listen to your mother."
After hearing this, Cheng Binghao looked at Lu Lingyun with burning eyes and nodded without hesitation, "Yes, I will listen to my mother."
He listens to his mother. His mother is the best person to him in the world. If he listens to her, he will not go wrong!
Lu Lingyun felt Cheng Binghao's gaze, reached out her hand, and gently touched his head.
"Although your elder brother has inherited the title of Marquis, the path that mother has chosen for you is definitely not worse than your elder brother's."
Cheng Binghao puffed out his chest and said, "Whatever mom says, Haoer will do it!"
Lu Lingyun looked at Cheng Binghao, who was full of anger, with a smile.
The eldest son is the shield, guarding the family business and protecting the family's well-being. The second son is the spear, wielding the sword to open up new frontiers for the family. If the family has a good strategy for attack and defense, it will surely prosper.
Not long after Lu Lingyun and Cheng Binghao finished talking about this, news of the Japanese invasion spread to Jiangnan.
In this life, General Wang was safe and sound in the capital, and Lu Lingyun went to tell Jiang about this two days in advance.
At the court meeting, after the emperor heard the urgent report, before he even called up the troops, General Wang volunteered to lead the army to suppress the Japanese rebellion in Jiangnan.
General Wang had gained his military prowess in Jiangnan and was very familiar with the situation there.
After weighing the pros and cons, the emperor gladly gave the order and ordered him to go.
General Wang took Jiang with him to Jiangnan.
Because their daughter Wang Qiluo had been married in Jiangnan for seven years and they had never seen her again, Jiang packed up her things and followed them to Jiangnan.
Before they set out on the expedition, Lu Lingyun sent Cheng Binghao to General Wang's mansion.
There is no need to say more about her friendship with General Wang and Jiang.
Jiang only regarded Cheng Binghao as her own grandson, and assured Lu Lingyun that if Cheng Binghao followed them, she would never let anything happen to him.
Lu Lingyun saw them off gratefully.
Achievements achieved through fighting are inherently risky.
If this risk occurs, you will lose your life!
However, Lu Lingyun made this choice after carefully considering Cheng Binghao's safety.
First, most of the Japanese riots in Jiangnan were fought against by vagrants, and the main purpose was to drive out that group of people. If they were a little more fierce, that group of Japanese would be chased away.
They are not as brutal as the barbarians in the north who massacre villages and eat people.
Secondly, there is the friendship between General Wang and the Jiang family. When Cheng Binghao trains with General Wang, he will definitely be taken care of by General Wang.
We will never throw him directly to the most dangerous place to torture him.
Paving the road means having a road and then paving it flat for people to walk on. It does not mean just pointing to a direction and asking the children to pave the way by themselves with nothing.
The height of their parents is the starting point for their children. If the children are left to fight for themselves, they can only reach the same height as their predecessors even if they have to survive nine risks. And this is still the luckiest thing for them.
Children from a family like Lu Lingyun understand the importance of support the most. Families at their level all plan a path for their children carefully, and the children's future achievements will also be the family's achievements.
As the head of the family, Lu Lingyun has to control the family's future and she wants the family to prosper.
