To put it simply, in this siege battle, they only lost some small cities that could be fought back at any time, but they got the remaining Nanchen and captured the little emperor. It was only a matter of time before other places received their subordinates. With Jingzhou As a point, we can gradually encroach on the entire south.

The coalition forces have been defeated, and Chang Yuan called them here. In addition to sharing the good news, they were also preparing to discuss whether to ascend the throne after the army came back, or to ascend the throne first.

"Mr. Bai, what do you think?" Chang Yuan asked.

Bai Yunliang raised his hands and said respectfully: "General, we can prepare together. While calling General Ma and General Wang back, we can prepare for the enthronement. It will be just in time for General Ma to come back with the little emperor as a gift for the general's enthronement. The emperor personally congratulates the general on his enthronement."

Chang Yuan smiled happily when he heard this, obviously very satisfied with the other party's proposal.

"good!"

Others didn't have any opinions on this, and Ning Changrong naturally had no ideas.

Then came the selection of the capital's location, the establishment of civil and military officials, the process of the enthronement ceremony, and the discussion of various rewards.

Most people tend to locate the capital in Jingzhou. If it is located in Jingzhou, the river is a natural isolation zone and the safety is better.

But some people think that it should be established in other places. Everyone has different opinions, but no one proposes to set the capital in Taixi County. After all, it is only a small county and cannot bear the heavy responsibility of being the capital of a country.

As for rewards, everyone had their own opinions. In short, the scene was chaotic, but the atmosphere was very warm.

Having reached this point, Ning Changrong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the map and captured Jingzhou. Their land and population have increased to varying degrees. Jingzhou belongs to the south, the water and soil are more fertile, and it brings more food production.

The most important thing is that its geographical location is superior. After capturing Jingzhou, it is convenient to attack the south without having to cross the water. Jingzhou can be used as a point to gradually conquer the remaining southern territory.

The three princes competed with each other, but the most powerful one was the third prince who had ascended the throne, that is, the young emperor who was captured by Ma Honglin.

The remaining two princes need to join forces to resist the third prince's attack. Now that the third prince has been captured, the other places under his rule are just stragglers. As long as the third prince gives the order, it won't take long to clean them all up. .

As for the power of the remaining two princes, there is actually nothing to fear.

Ning Changrong felt that they could take over all of the south next and focus on the north. Their enemies were Hong Yuancheng, Liu Jianxing, and the Beiqiong people.

But after occupying the south, they became invincible. The food output in the south was far from what the north could match. They had enough time to slowly confront the enemy.

At least the south can slowly regain its vitality and recuperate.

Ning Qingxi was very happy to learn that Chang Yuan was going to proclaim himself emperor.

"It seems that we have survived this crisis. There is a saying that wealth can be gained from danger. It is true. If they had not divided their forces and underestimated the enemy, how could we have taken such a big advantage." At least Jingzhou cannot be like this. Easy to attack.

"Dad, have you discussed what kind of official job you will be rewarded for? What about me? And my milk?" Ning Qingxi joked.Ning Changrong smiled and said, "For you, except for the beginning, you have been working honestly. Tell me later, how many times have you been there?"

Ning Qingxi pouted, "Does it matter whether I go or not? I gave you the drawings, right? Although I may not be that important, it shouldn't be possible without me, right?"

Ning Changrong was just joking, "Okay, okay, I'm joking with you. You're serious about it. We haven't discussed clearly how to award the reward. Today we just discussed a framework first, and nothing has been confirmed yet."

"Everyone has their own opinions on the choice of the capital, but I guess it should be moved to the south."

Ning Qingxi was a little confused, "Does that mean we have to move by then?"

Ning Changrong shook his head, "I don't know, we still have to discuss it at that time. Each of these is a matter, but in general, it is a good thing."

Wang Xiujuan smiled and said: "It's good if we win. We made the right choice at the beginning. Nanchen was already struggling to survive, but now it exists in name only, and the people can take a breather."

They had been members of the lower class, and Wang Xiujuan often came into contact with those refugees and became more aware of the hardships faced by the people in ancient times.

"I don't know about the others, but Mom, General Chang has told me in private that your reputation as a miracle doctor cannot be escaped." Ning Changrong said with a smile.

Wang Xiujuan was a little surprised, "Me?" Why did he talk about her head?

"Yes, your suturing skills and alcohol have saved the lives of many soldiers in the army. You also put an end to this year's plague. If you hadn't stabilized the plague, what would have been our plan later? Is it so smooth? Not to mention other things, those refugees are enough for us to drink a pot."

"In addition, your identity is not an obstacle to others. You have more credit for others, and there is controversy over my less credit. But your credit is real and does not involve the interests of other people. It should be decided first.”

Ning Qingxi happily took Wang Xiujuan's arm and said in an excited tone, "Mistress, did you hear that! Miracle doctor! You have been rewarded by the imperial court. If General Chang conquers the world, you will be written into the history books and your reputation will last forever. !”

Wang Xiujuan felt a little uncomfortable being shaken by her, and quickly stopped her, "Stop, stop, stop, if you shake me again, my bones will fall apart."

"How do I deserve the name of this miracle doctor? Isn't this a lie?"

Ning Changrong said seriously: "Mom, regardless of where our medical skills come from, have we made selfless contributions? Did we save people? Did we put down the plague?"

Wang Xiujuan nodded blankly.

"That's right. No matter where we come from, we have no obligation to take out these things, right? But the result is that not only did we bring out our medical skills, we also saved tens of thousands of people. This miracle doctor's You are well-deserved for your reputation!" Ning Changrong said firmly.

Wang Xiujuan was silent.

Ning Qingxi glanced at the two of them and asked expectantly, "Dad, what about me? I have those drawings and gunpowder, so I have made a lot of contributions, right? Did you tell me how to reward me?"

Ning Changrong touched her head, "Why are you so anxious? Can you escape because of your contribution? These must be discussed slowly and just wait. The most important thing now is to prepare for the enthronement ceremony. Capital City There may be relocation after selection. Except for you, the rewards for everyone else have not yet been decided. Although General Chang told me privately about yours, he will not be issued together until he ascends the throne. Everyone has to wait. .”
