"Yes, we have to wait until she is about to give birth before making plans. Well, we have to wait until the child is older and suitable for traveling, at least half a year later," Zhong Zhiling pondered, and then looked at Zhong Mingwei, "So, I can stay in the northwest until the second half of next year. Mingwei, you still have nearly a year to select good generals and send them to the northwest. You still have plenty of time."
"Does Daddy have any outstanding generals under his command?" Zhong Mingwei said in a deep voice, "Dad has been in charge of the Northwest Camp for more than 30 years. The situation is different from other camps. I am worried that if the court rashly sends a new face there, he may not be able to adapt to the situation in the Northwest Camp, and I am also afraid that the Northwest Army will reject him. Therefore, if Daddy can come forward to recommend a general, he will definitely be able to convince the people."
"My subordinate Meng Tan is quite good. He has been with me for 20 years. He is steady and smart. He will definitely be the backbone of the Great Zhou in the future," Zhong Zhiling said slowly, while eating a crab leg, and suddenly frowned, "Although this is the case, the Northwest Camp can't always be so impenetrable. With me here, the Northwest Army will naturally be loyal to the court. But if I'm gone, I'm afraid that after a long time, there will be no guarantee that there will be no chaos. So Mingwei, you must send reliable people to infiltrate the Northwest Camp. You can't let the Northwest Camp keep clinging to each other like this, understand?"
Zhong Zhiling was telling the truth. He had led the Northwest Camp for decades, and the unity and combat effectiveness cultivated by the entire army were unmatched by other camps. However, this unity was a double-edged sword. With him, there would be no problems, but what if he was gone? Would this unusual unity change and cause a great disaster?
At that moment, Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya both looked solemn. Mei Ya looked at Zhong Mingwei and said, "Mingwei, before Daddy leaves the Northwest Camp, you should pick the people and send them over quickly. With Daddy here, it will help him to open up the situation."
"Yes, the girl is right. Send him over quickly while I'm still in the Northwest Camp," Zhong Zhiling said, taking a sip of wine and sighing, "It's a pity for Pang Yi. He has all the skills, but one flaw. He was your personal guard and has been used to being restrained since he was a child. He has too many burdens, so he doesn't have a big picture. He can naturally do something in front of you, but as for being a frontier official who can stand on his own, he definitely can't do it."
"Yes, so I didn't plan to let him leave the capital, and wanted to keep him in the capital," Zhong Mingwei nodded, paused, and then sighed, "The court is short of military generals, and it is a time of transition. Half a month ago, Prince Hui handed over the military order of Huguang, and I transferred more than ten generals to the Huguang camp. So all those who have real skills are now being used. It is really hard to find a good general."
"How about moving up the date of the military examination next year?" Mei Ya suddenly said, "In the past, the military examination was held in mid-March. How about moving it up a month or even earlier next year? That way we can find good candidates as soon as possible, so that more experienced and capable generals in the court can be freed up?"
"This is a good suggestion, girl," Zhong Zhiling nodded hurriedly, and added, "Not only should the time of the military examination be moved forward, but we can also announce to all places that if there are any military prodigies, no matter where they come from, they can be recommended by the local area and sent to the capital to participate in the military examination. If they are selected by the court, the local area will be rewarded as an incentive."
"That's settled then. Mingwei thanks father and madam!" Zhong Mingwei was overjoyed and hurriedly poured himself a glass and drank it all in front of the two of them.

Meiya woke up early in the morning. In fact, she didn't sleep all night. She was so excited. The last time she was so excited was when they got married...
No, she at least got some sleep the night before her wedding.
