So Wang Zunzhi almost ignored everything and left the affairs of the two towns to Wang Hongyi.
Wang Hongyi has always had a sense of proportion, reporting what should be reported and changing what should be changed.
On the contrary, he has always firmly grasped the military power, selected elite soldiers, and trained two hundred heavy cavalry.
As for the light cavalry, because they took over Wang Zunzhi's 200 black guards, the number was expanded to 500 cavalry.
The number of infantry remains unchanged.
Under Wang Hongyi's management, Wenyang Town and Changding Town were on the right track.
As gold was mined in batches in Shunyi County, Wang Hongyi also had a lot of money, and he did not need to rely on exploiting the people to maintain his rule like other vassal towns.
The two towns look prosperous, and it is no exaggeration to say that the people are living and working in peace and contentment. This has attracted people from other feudal towns to settle here with their families.
Wang Zunzhi was happy to be the hands-on shopkeeper, because everything went smoothly and he didn't have to worry about the troublesome things in the town, so he was in a happy mood and his health was much better.
However, if you don’t have long-term worries, you will always have immediate worries.
Wang Zunzhi is aware of his physical condition.
He was afraid that one day his sudden death would have a bad impact on Wang Hongyi's rule in the town.
So after some thought, Wang Zunzhi submitted a memorial to the court through the supervisor on August 9, the twelfth year of Chuizheng, requesting permission to allow his heir Wang Hongyi to inherit his name and official position.
Under normal circumstances, the court will approve it.
If approved, the Jiedushi Council will have an extra layer of justice, and the court will gain more face.
If the court does not approve it.
The land of Shu is too far away and cannot be reached by a whip.
If Jiedushi cruelly abandons the imperial court and becomes independent, he will be like Wei Cundong who is entrenched in Chengdu. The imperial court has nothing to do with him, and all his dignity and dignity will be lost.
In the original work, Wang Zunzhi made the memorial in September of the twelfth year of Chuizheng's reign. As a result, the young emperor in the palace may have been unhappy, so he did not approve it, forcing Wang Zunzhi to build the tripod on his own.
But in this life, Wang Hongyi's victory over Changding Town in one battle spread throughout the world, and even the young emperor and powerful minister Wei Yue heard the news.
The little emperor originally wanted to ignore it and directly approved it, but Wei Yue had a different idea.
He asked the young emperor to instead canonize Wang Hongyi as General of the Northern Conquest.
Because Wei Cundong of Chengdu Prefecture named himself General Zhenbei.
This name has a strong political connotation.
Once Wang Hongyi accepts it, he will be severely hostile to Wei Cundong. When the time comes, the two will restrain each other, which will be beneficial to Wei Yue.
Wang Hongyi's record is impressive. Although the two counties are not in his eyes yet, Wang Hongyi is too young and he is worried about producing a general who is unparalleled in the world, so he made this move.
The little emperor's power was eclipsed by the powerful minister Wei Yue. He had no choice but to do whatever Wei Yue said, and he had no independent power at all.
Of course, the little emperor has grown up and is increasingly dissatisfied with this situation.
It's just that there's nothing you can do to change it.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
…
On September 29, the twelfth year of Chuizheng's reign, the news came back to Wenyang Town.
Wang Zunzhi and Wang Hongyi were stunned when they heard the emperor's order.
[General Zhengbei]——The imperial court wants him to fight with Wei Cundong!
Wang Zunzhi was just stunned for a moment, and then decisively accepted the order.
With the development of Wenyang Town to this day, the situation with Wei Cundong has always been at odds with each other.
If Wang Zunzhi does not accept this order, Wei Cundong will not let them go!
Both Wang Hongyi and his son have this realization!
September 30th.
Wang Hongyi received the position of "General of the Northern Expedition" and officially took over the territory of Wenyang Town and Changding Town from Wang Zunzhi.
Wang Zunzhi retreated behind the scenes and let go of full power.
When the news spread, Du Gong was really happy.
Wei Cundong sneered.
But the head of the Song family was worried.
When Wang Hongyi took over this title, he and Wei Cundong were in a fight to the death.
Now the Song family has been tied to the Wang family's chariot.
To be on the safe side, it is safer to transfer family members gradually.
The head of the Song family had this realization and began to implement it.
In the original work, because Wang Hongyi was the self-proclaimed [General Dingyuan] and the conflict with Wei Cundong was not obvious, the head of the Song family was negligent. In the end, when Wang Hongyi and Wei Cundong's armies fought, most of the Song family members became Wei Cundong.
Sacrifices were sacrificed under the knife, but only a few escaped in the end!
Because of such changes, this life is different.
Things are always like this, one move affects the whole body!
Destiny is completely different!
After Wang Hongyi was awarded the title of "General of the Northern Expedition", he was neither arrogant nor complacent, nor did he want to make progress. Instead, he worked hard to govern, strengthen his troops and train his generals. Every day he gained, he became stronger!
Du Gongzhen of Hongze Prefecture and Wei Cundong of Chengdu Prefecture did not take any drastic actions on the surface, but there were undercurrents underneath, and they seemed to be mobilizing their armies to prepare for war!
After Wang Hongyi took over, the first thing he did was to reorganize the military order in Wenyang Town.
He Yi, the general of Changcedu, Zhang Yunxin, the general of Shachengdu, and Lu Zhongcheng of Yanshandu.
Wang Hongyi gave the order, and these three generals were transferred to his side, and the armies under their control were reorganized according to the orders sent by Wang Hongyi.
This whole compilation revealed a lot of messy things.
Wang Hongyi stayed in China and turned a blind eye. He only took back the independent conscription rights of these generals.
After the reorganization, the generals of the three capitals made another two-by-two defense drop.
In other words, these generals are transferred away from their deep-rooted armies and transferred to other guards. Except for a few personal soldiers, no others are allowed to be taken away.
The purpose of this is to prevent the teeth from becoming bigger than the tail and posing a threat to Wang Hongyi's rule.
These days, the generals and soldiers are unruly. It is not uncommon for them to directly rebel when they are angry. On the contrary, it is quite common.
Wang Hongyi learned his lesson and will naturally try to avoid this problem.
In the original work, Wang Hongyi took over Wang Zunzhi's position, but still failed to win over all the generals in the government.
Among them, General He Yi of Changcedu was the most unruly one.
Wang Hongyi destroyed the Li family and drove back the Hongze Mansion army. General He Yidu of Changce capital used the excuse of lack of food and failed to ask for food, so the army was slow to move out. In the end, he almost missed Wang Hongyi's important event, and finally Wang Hongyi led troops to surround Changce.
Anyway, something like this happens.
But now, Wang Hongyi has single-handedly destroyed Liu Zhen. He has 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command. The soldiers are strong and the favor is great. Although the old commander is here, his prestige is stronger than Wang Zunzhi!
When he issued an order, none of the three generals dared to disobey him. Even the most unruly general, He Yi, only dared to mutter a few words in private, but did not dare to disobey.
In this way, Wang Hongyi had all the new and old troops in the two towns firmly in his hands, and his strength reached 15,000.
