As Li Shuo said, firearms are the foundation of the Southwest Army. In addition to the powerful weapon of firearms, it is still a question whether more than 100,000 Southwest Army can leave Shu Capital, let alone attacking all the way to the capital like now.

Therefore, reorganizing a firearm camp directly under Li Xin was indeed what he should do now. The next day, Li Xin came to the Duke of Qian in Yonglefang and found Mu Ying.

Since the Southwest Army entered the capital and received a reward, there must be everything they should have. For example, if Mu Ying was granted the title of Duke of Qian, the court chose a prince's house from Li on Yonglefang and changed it to Duke of Qian for him to live in. In addition, Li Shuo's Pengyuan Marquis Mansion was also under construction, and it could be completed in one or two months.

Li Xin arrived at the Duke of Qian. Before he could step in, Mu Ying, dressed in black, left the mansion to welcome him. After seeing Li Xin, Mu Ying immediately stepped forward to salute and said, "What's the matter with the Grand Governor? If someone asks me to bring a message to me, I will immediately go to the Grand Governor's Office to pay my respects. Where is the reason why the superiors come to visit the officials?"

Li Xin smiled.

"We are close to each other, so there is no need to be such a trouble. Besides, when we visit our door this time, we still have something to discuss with Brother Mu. If you want to make you bleeding, you should naturally come to visit Brother Mu."

Mu Ying smiled while making her way aside, "What order does the Grand Governor have? Even if you say it, if you don't have the Grand Governor, Mu Ying might be just a bandit on a mountain somewhere in the southwest. How could she have the current situation?"

For Mu Ying, Li Xin's life has indeed changed completely. If Li Xin had not been Li Xin, he would have been just a child of the Mu family in the southwest. Even if he could successfully succeed as the head of the Mu family, it would have been useless. After all, the remnants of Southern Shu were in turmoil at that time, and they might have been completely disbanded at any time and might have become bandits at any time.

The time for the two of them to speak, they had already entered the Duke of Qian. Li Xin walked in the yard of the Duke of Guo's mansion, looked around, and then stroking his hands, "Brother Mu's house is more spacious than Master Ye's family. It is a waste for Brother Mu to live here alone. Have you ever considered taking his family to the capital and enjoying your happiness with you?"

Mu Ying smiled and said, "I have already written a letter to my family. It won't take long for the wife of the family to come to the capital with her only son. Her subordinates will beat her to death. After finally establishing this family business, she naturally has to find someone to inherit it."

Mu Ying actually had two sons, but the eldest son changed his name to Li Xiu and became the King of Shu in the southwest. Since he changed his surname, he was not considered a member of the Mu family, so he would say "only son".

There is another meaning in this sentence, which means that from his generation, the Mu family may be divided into two, one will continue to be the King of Shu in the southwest, and the other will be the Duke of Qian in the capital.

Li Xin narrowed his eyes half-sniffed and said with a smile: "Now the overall situation is settled. We brothers don't need to be afraid of anyone anymore, nor do we have to be afraid of those rumors. According to my wishes, I asked my eldest nephew to change his surname to Mu. The Li family in the old Southern Shu have all been destroyed. It makes no sense to let him have a surname of Li for no reason."

"Since he was asked to change his surname, there was no reason to change it back. Besides, his surname Li was not Li from the old Nanshu."

Mu Ying lowered his head slightly and said with a smile: "He is the first adopted son of the Grand Governor, and he just thought that he was with the Grand Governor's surname Li. In this way, his title as King Shu will be considered reasonable and well-founded in the future."

Li Xin walked in front, looked back at Mu Ying, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

Indeed, Li Xiu was his first adopted son, but his biological father was still there. The adopted son followed the adopted father's surname. Mu Ying said this, and the meaning in his words was already very simple and straightforward.

That is, the Li family will become emperor sooner or later. When Li Xin ascends the throne, Li Xiu, the adopted son, will become the prince in a sense. In this way, the position of the King of Shu is legitimate.

The entire Southwest Group, from Li Shuo to Mu Ying, and the scholar who is familiar with the books of sages, always think about changing surnames in the world. When the time is ripe, even if Li Xin himself does not take the initiative to take that step, these people will make the old thing of "introducing the yellow robe" and push Li Xin to that position!

"Forget it, this is the family affairs of your Mu family, so I won't interfere much."

Speaking of this, Li Xin sighed slightly: "Actually, there is no need for us brothers to be so kind. I promised the position of the King of Shu. No matter what my eldest nephew's surname is, he is the King of Shu."

Mu Ying smiled and said nothing. The two walked to the main hall of the Duke of Qian's Mansion together. Mu Ying took Li Xin to the main seat and then sat in the guest seat. The two of them sat down and each took a sip of tea. Mu Yingcai asked Li Xin: "The Grand Governor said that he had something to discuss with his subordinates, but he didn't know it was..."

Li Xin put down the tea and said calmly: "That's right. Yesterday I went to visit Li Shuo's injuries and discussed with him about the reorganization of the Southwest Army. He gave some suggestions, and I listened to them, but I still couldn't make up my mind for the time being, so I came to discuss with Brother Mu today."

Mu Ying nodded and asked, "How is General Li's injury?"

"The recovery is pretty good. In another month, it should be great."

"That's good."

Mu Ying took a sip of tea and sighed: "I'm not afraid of the Grand Governor's blame. Before I arrived in the capital, there were many generals of the Hanzhou Army under him. They looked down on General Li Shuo in their hearts, and felt that he had to be in the position of General Ningzhou because he had to be in contact with the Grand Governor. However, after the Ningzhou Army captured the capital, the Hanzhou Army all gave up this idea."

Mu Ying sighed sincerely: "General Li Shuo looks like a weak scholar. He is so cruel that he even feels a little ashamed of himself."

Li Xin's face was calm: "He grew up in the Pingnan Army since he was a child, and he suffered a lot of hardships a few years ago, so he fought very hard."

Li Shuo fled from Jincheng with the remnants of Pingnan Army at the age of sixteen. In the following years, he brought tens of thousands of people to make a living on the Tubo border and dealt with Tubo people very much. It was also at that time that Li Shuo, who was kind-hearted, had a strong body.

Mu Ying lowered her head slightly and smiled, "It's been too far. The Grand Governor still said that he was serious. His subordinates also felt that the Southwest Army needed to be reorganized. If you have any ideas, you will give me some advice. At most half a month, I will definitely do it beautifully for you."

Li Xin picked up the tea, took a sip without any haste, and then said lightly: "I originally wanted to let the Southwest Army and the Gyeonggi Imperial Army mix together, but after discussing this idea with Li Shuo, I felt that it was a bit inappropriate. Let's put it aside for the time being and go slowly to do it. However, the matter about the firearm battalion has been discussed and a prototype has been developed."

Li Xin put down the teacup and his face was calm.

"What I mean is to strip away the firearm battalions of the Hanzhou Army and Ningzhou Army, and then create an independent organization dedicated to firearms, so that it is convenient for unified training. If there is any war in the future, people will be drawn from this organization as a cooperation."

"This independent firearm camp is tentatively named Shenji camp."

Speaking of this, Li Xin smiled and looked at Mu Ying, and asked, "Do you have any opinions on this idea? If not, I will arrange someone to do it."

Mu Ying quickly lowered her head and answered without hesitation.

"Of course I have no objection."
