As soon as it was announced that the auxiliary Duke Yang Xu was appointed as the governor-general of the five provinces to suppress Japanese invaders, it immediately caused an uproar in the court.【】
People from Zhu Gaochi's faction, headed by several academicians and the six ministers and ministers, immediately stood up to express their approval. This was their first step in seizing the power of the army. As for the consequences of failure, it was obvious that Xia Xun and Zhu Gaochi last night
After the communication, Zhu Gaochi also talked to his right-hand people overnight, and they had dispelled their doubts in this regard.
People from Zhu Gaoxu's faction expressed their opposition clearly, including some military ministers of the Li faction who expressed considerable doubts.
It is true that Qiu Fu failed in suppressing the Japanese, but Qiu Fu has been a soldier and fought in wars all his life. No one will render him useless just because of this failure. When Zhuge Liang was still careless and lost the street pavilion, who could guarantee that he would be like this?
How about being undefeated in a hundred battles for a lifetime? But if Qiu Fu can't do that, can it be done by replacing him with Yang Xu, the auxiliary prince?
If a veteran general like Duke Zhu Neng is sent, no one will have any doubts. Even the generals of the lower generation, such as Chen Xuan and others, will have no objection. But if Yang Xu is sent, everyone knows that this national
The Duke has never led an army, how can he be controlled by those arrogant soldiers? If he is defeated again, it means that two Dukes of the Ming Dynasty went out to fight, and they all came back defeated. It is hard to say or not.
But the struggle and hesitation that Zhu Di showed in the Jinshen Palace is something you will never see in the Golden Palace. Zhu Di is not a perfect person who has no plans. When faced with trade-offs and choices, he also has to think, struggle and hesitate.
stage, but he only showed this weakness and wavering in private. When he came to the public, he was always a wise and decisive emperor, never showing doubts about his decisions.
A decisive word came out from Zhu Di's mouth: "There is no need to discuss this matter anymore, I have made my decision!"
All the noisy voices immediately disappeared. Whether it was support or opposition, Zhu Di was such a strong emperor. Of course, if his prestige and aura are far from those of his father, he still needs to continue to temper. Zhu Yuanzhang is here
At that time, this kind of dispute would not have arisen at all. As long as Lao Zhu raised his eyelids and glanced coldly, the golden palace was immediately so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"Yang Xu!"
"I'm here!"
Xia Xun left the class and stood still with a bow.
Zhu Di said: "I allow you to mobilize the army independently among the five provinces. At the same time, you can ask me for any naval division to be transferred to your command to form a fleet to go to sea to suppress the Japanese. After the morning meeting, you can ask the Ministry of War
The Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office must fully cooperate with Yang Xu without delay!"
"Your Majesty, I already have a candidate!"
"oh?"
Zhu Di was a little surprised. He glanced at Xia Xun and asked, "Who do you want to transfer?"
Xia Xun said: "I want three groups of people."
"speak!"
"The first group of troops, Shuangyu Guards!"
"allow!"
Zhu Di had expected this. The Shuangyu Guards are now equivalent to Xia Xun's personal guards. No matter which general leads the army, the army must have a force that is absolutely loyal to him. Xia Xun's choice is normal.
.
"The second group of troops is Chaohu Navy and the Yu family of Hejian County."
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and still said: "Yes!"
"The third group of troops, the Fujian Navy, is designated by the commander-in-chief as the commander Chi Zhong!"
"allow!"
Xia Xun took a breath and added: "I also want to transfer a thousand households from Jinyiweinan Town. This person's name is Chen Dong."
This time Zhu Di was really surprised: "Oh? Are there any soldiers who are good at water warfare in Jinyi South Town?"
Xia Xun said: "Back to the emperor, there are no soldiers in Nanzhen who are good at water warfare. The Chen Dong I asked to transfer is specializing in intelligence and investigation. The reason why our army failed in the first round was because our soldiers were unwilling to use their lives. In fact,
Because the Japanese pirates are cunning and have the spies they bribe to inform them, they can repeatedly escape the siege deployed by our imperial army. They know themselves and the enemy and are victorious in every battle. I want this person to be responsible for collecting intelligence."
"allow!"
Xia Xun transferred people from Jinyiweinan Town just to provide cover for his Qianlong secret agent. Even the emperor didn't know about the existence of Qianlong, and Feilong's only mission now is to search for Emperor Zhu Yun all over the world. As long as
When it comes to this matter, they have absolute power. They can access all files and information, check everyone, and if necessary, they can even mobilize a force of a thousand households for their use at any time. But this absolute power is limited to those with whom
Regarding matters related to the establishment of the emperor, Xia Xun asked Jinyiwei for help. This not only protected the existence of Qianlong, but also showed the emperor that I will not use the power of Feilong. Their only mission is still the thing that your Majesty cares about most.
.
The tight lines on Zhu Di's face softened as expected, and he said: "Yang Xu, I give you the royal flag and the Shangfang sword. You have the right to kill first and then report. Now you go to the East China Sea to suppress the Japanese, so don't let me down!"
"My lord, I will definitely live up to my holy expectations, defeat the Japanese pirates, and return in triumph!"
Xia Xun's answer was resounding. Several people on the train showed unpredictable smiles at the same time.
What is the most difficult battle to fight? It is a battle with internal constraints.
How many generals failed to realize their great ambitions and fell on the battlefield, not at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of their own men who killed without blood.
However..., with the absolute support of the emperor, his own independent war zone and the absolute authority to kill first and then report later, under this situation, how effective can the internal constraints be? This is still unknown.
"Miss, Miss, the Duke Fu Guo has come to our house."
In the flower hall of the back house, the female relatives were playing leaf cards.
Ming'er sat on the table with Xu Zengshou's wife Liu, Liu's daughter-in-law Dingguo Gong's wife Zhang, and Xu Jingchang's favorite concubine Wang. Ming'er had piled up a pile of chips in front of her, and she was always winning.
The little girl had a great time having fun, and she was a master at playing leaf cards. There were four braziers in the house, and the heat was boiling, so the little girl made her coat wider than her armor, and unbuttoned two buttons of her undergarment, exposing her neck.
A trace.
Others didn't know her thoughts, but as her confidant, Qiaoyun knew what her young lady was thinking. As soon as she heard that Duke Fu was coming, she immediately ran over happily to report the news to her young lady. But in front of her sister-in-law and niece-in-law
Ming'er, how could Ming'er have the nerve to express her feelings, so Ming'er sat there with a disapproving look on her face, and said calmly: "Come here, what are you bluffing about? There is no quiet time all day long."
As he said that, he turned around and gave Qiaoyun a hard look with his big talking eyes: "Damn girl, you don't care what the occasion is!"
Qiaoyun stuck out his tongue and said hurriedly: "No, Duke Fu sent us two beautiful orchids with blond hair and blue eyes. They are very strange. Duke Fu said that these two orchids are versatile and are especially good at music. We have
The Duke said, please go and have a look, Miss. If you like it, send it to the Miss’s room to wait on you..."
Ming'er posed more and more: "Okay, everyone has already accepted it, so let's do it again when we have time. I have a good hand at this card and I will win immediately."
As she spoke, Ming'er thought: "Beautiful Hu Ji? Could it be the two blue-eyed goblins I saw last time?"
Mrs. Zhang, the Duke of Dingguo, became anxious when she heard this. Her husband was not a cat that didn't like fishy food. The so-called gift to the little aunt was probably just a polite word in front of outsiders. If the little ancestor in front of him really didn't want it,
, then as soon as the Duke of Fu leaves, he may be taken to his room. He is only in his early twenties, and there are already four concubines in the house. If two more foxy girls come, won't they suck him dry?
Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said: "Little aunt, this is the kindness of Duke Fu and the filial piety of your nephew. You should go and take a look. Anyway, Duke Fu often comes to the house, so it's not too far away."
Friends, it doesn’t matter if we meet each other.”
As she said that, she lightly kicked Ming'er's toes with her feet under the table. Although she was a generation behind Ming'er, she was five or six years older than Ming'er, and the two of them had always been better than the two sisters.
It seems that this small gesture has the meaning of begging.
Ming'er lazily put down the cards and said reluctantly: "Okay then, I'll go. If you like it, you can take it to my room."
Xu Jingchang's favorite concubine, Mrs. Wang, said quickly: "It doesn't matter whether you like this or not. There are not many servant girls in my aunt's room, so I might as well just keep her here. If there is anything you don't know how to do, just let Qiao Yun teach you."
"
Mrs. Zhang glanced at Ming'er with gratitude and gave her a look. Ming'er told her sister-in-law and called Xu Jingchang's concubine who was embroidering mandarin ducks next to her to replace her. She also gave her the chips.
, making her extremely happy.
Ming'er slowly walked out of the flower hall, her feet picking up speed: "Giving people to me, what are you giving them to me for? Oh... Are you afraid that I will be jealous of you and use them to please me?
When I marry into your family and take them back as dowries, they will become your married girls, right? Tsk! What a wishful thinking! No, he was given to Jingchang, and Jingchang gave it to me.
Thinking about it this way...I'm afraid I misunderstood him. These two people were originally given to him by Zhu Gaoxu. How long has it been? Has he still confiscated the house?"
Ming'er was thinking wildly and went to the front hall. Xu Jingchang, who was sitting and chatting with Xia Xun, saw her coming. He quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Aunt, Duke Fu heard that aunt likes music, so he specially sent two Hu Ji as a gift.
Come to serve my aunt. In your free time, you can play music with your aunt to pass the time. They are descendants of the ancient Qiuci country who are famous for their music. It is said that they have profound musical attainments."
"Designated for me?" Ming'er glanced at Xia Xun and thought bitterly: "I will give them away after I change hands. You will cry to death!"
"Princess Princess!"
Xia Xun stood up with a smile and said to the two gauze-covered blue-eyed beauties beside him: "Celine, Jeanne, this is the little princess of the Mountain Prince's Mansion. You will be the princess's people from now on, why don't you come forward to see me?"
Pass!"
The two girls glanced at him resentfully. They didn't mind following a hostess, and the bright-eyed and sharp-toothed little girl in front of them was a good-tempered girl. Unlike them, they were used to other people's expressions.
This is understandable. But...the mistress of the house is also a young girl waiting to be married, so the future of the two of them is not fixed. Master Yang Xu has a good temper, a handsome life, and a high official position. He is originally a
An excellent destination, who knew he...
The two of them came forward to see Ming'er full of grievances. Ming'er smiled lightly and said, "Well, they are quite nice girls. Thank you, Duke Fu. I like them very much. Qiaoyun, take them down and settle them down."
"
Qiaoyun agreed and led the two girls away. When they came out, she was very curious about the two women who looked different from the original ones. As soon as they went out, she heard her asking in rapid succession: "You two
How did you get there? I’ve heard of the ancient Qiuci country. Does this country still exist now? Do all the people there look like this..."
Xia Xun smiled at Ming'er and said, "This is a gift from someone else. They are very accomplished in music. They are too talented to be used as maids in my house. If they are just left to idle there and live alone in a small building all day,
In the courtyard, it is rare to have contact with people, and they look really pitiful. They are also a pair of hard-working women. I heard that Dingguo Gong has a group of female musicians here. The princess likes music and often listens to them playing and singing.
Sent them here."
Ming'er was dubious about his reason, so she said with a half-smile: "Oh, the Duke came here today just to give me these two Kuci banshees...ah, female musicians?"
Xia Xun's face straightened up and he said: "Give me peaches and give me Qiongyao in return. I came here just to thank the princess for taking care of Yang, but Yang Xu didn't know what to give to express the princess's feelings. By chance,
I heard Duke Dingguo say that the princess likes music very much, so I gave them to the princess in the hope that they could relieve her loneliness, and for them, they are well suited."
What Xia Xun said is true. He went to the East China Sea and wouldn't be able to come back for a while. It was his intention to give Ming'er some gifts. But she was a girl waiting to be married. If she gave gifts rashly,
Yu makes no sense, but if you give her two people, no one can make irresponsible remarks. Furthermore, these two Kucha girls are relatively isolated in the house. People are social animals, doing nothing all day long and not having contact with others.
, it’s really not a good thing, they look quite pitiful, and arranging a suitable place for them can be regarded as Xia Xun’s overflowing sympathy.
After hearing this, Ming'er's tender face felt hot.
If Xia Xun said the idiom derived from this sentence, "Throw a peach in return for a plum," it would not make people think about it, but he just wanted to say, "Throw me a peach, and repay a Qiong Yao." This original sentence, the meaning of this sentence
What's the next sentence? It's "Retribution for bandits is always good!" This was Xia Xun's naked confession and teasing, and it was in front of her nephew, but she said it in a high-sounding and serious manner, which was really embarrassing.
Don't ask her why, she just knows what Xia Xun is really talking about.
Xia Xun looked away from Ming'er, who was both shy and happy, and forced himself to be calm, and then turned to Xu Jingchang, smiling: "Of course, I came here to visit Duke Ding. This time I ordered the general to the emperor, and I made it a point to do so.
General Chi Zhong of the Fuzhou Navy. I heard that General Chi is an old subordinate of the Xu family and has an irreconcilable relationship with Zengshou. This time I want to use the Chi Zhong Army to go to sea for a battle. When General Chi is transferred to Beijing, I will have to ask Ding Guo
I have no qualifications in the army, so I am afraid that such a veteran general will not be able to command."
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "The Duke of Fu is joking, the Duke of Fu, the governor of the five provinces, the king's flag, and the sword of Shang Fang! No matter who he is, how dare he disobey the general's orders."
Xia Xun smiled and said: "Listen, you must listen. You are all entitled to a salary from the imperial court. However, there is a big difference between listening with your ears and listening with your heart!"
