Li Chengzhong did not expect that Li Chengyue and Wang Sitong would change their minds with just one word and bow to his impassioned words. This was completely unrealistic. Important matters involving the family were not something that the two of them could decide on their own. But he hoped that he would
The idea was passed to Youzhou through the two people, not only letting the three wealthy families know, but also letting all the military families of all sizes in Youzhou know that Lulong, it is time for change. Those who agree with this concept, I
Li Chengzhong welcomes you to join. If you don’t agree, the wheels of the Yingzhou Army will run over you!
Perhaps this concept will push many military generals and families to Liu Shouguang's side, but that's fine, let's let all the problems be solved together. What needs to be opened up in front of the Yingzhou Army is a broad road without obstacles.
Holding a knife in one hand, and of course giving some candies to the other, Li Chengzhong revealed some of his ideas to the two of them. Those who want to join the Yingzhou Army can study in the military academy, and will be awarded military positions after graduation; those who want to enter the government,
Returned to Yingzhou Academy and was awarded different official positions after graduation. In addition, Li Chengzhong also planned to integrate his original business partnership with Gao family, Wang family, Li family and other high-ranking families, and at the same time attract the participation of other high-ranking families in Youzhou to establish several joint ventures.
Trading companies hold shares in proportion to their investment, manage different businesses, and even share war dividends.
Li Chengyue and Wang Sitong were knocked unconscious by Li Chengzhong's combination of punches. When they left Zhongnanhai, the Governor's Mansion, they sighed in unison.
"This brother-in-law has great ambitions! He actually wants to restore the ancient system." Li Chengyue was thinking about the fact that when the Tang Dynasty was at its peak a hundred years ago, wasn't that what the imperial army was like?
Wang Sitong shook his head, and then said with some hope: "You don't have to think about where the soldiers' pay comes from, and you don't have to be careful when your subordinates rebel. You don't have to worry about who will take advantage of your home to rob you. Just pick up the knife and fight.
.A day like this might not be bad.”
Li Chengyue nodded silently and asked, "What will happen to the adults in your family if these words are spread back?"
Wang Sitong smiled bitterly: "Our two families have lost all their soldiers. What will the adults in the family think and what can they do? I am afraid of the eldest brother and the second brother. What will they think in Guizhou?"
Li Chengyue was lost in thought for a while, and sighed: "I'm afraid that if they don't want to, then they will fight with such a wife and brother."
Wang Sitong shook his head and said: "Try to persuade me as much as possible. If it really comes to that point, I believe that you, my brother-in-law, will never hesitate to take action."
As the two of them were talking, they walked out from the Governor's Mansion, but they saw a horse flying from outside the gate. The sergeant on the horse did not wait for the horse to stop for a moment, rolled directly off the saddle, staggered to the gatehouse, and held a roll in his arms.
The newspaper was handed to the officer on duty and shouted: "Urgent report from Youzhou!"
The officer on duty received the report and immediately hurried inside.
When Li Chengyue and Wang Sitong heard about the urgent report from Youzhou, they saw that the sergeant's face was red with cold, and they were both excited and anxious. They couldn't help saying at the same time: "What's going on in Youzhou?"
The sergeant who ordered the order shook his head and did not answer, making the two of them feel embarrassed. Knowing that his question was rash, they stopped talking. However, the matter involved Youzhou, and neither of them wanted to leave, so they waited aside and looked into Zhongnanhai.
Not long after, footsteps sounded in Zhongnanhai, and the officers on duty hurried out and shouted orders. More than a dozen order soldiers waiting at the gatehouse poured out of the Governor's Mansion like a tide, mounted their horses outside the door, and galloped away in all directions.
.
Syngman Rhee and Wang Sitong knew that there was a major change when they saw it, and they did not leave. They drank two cups of tea in the concierge and sat down to wait for the news.
As soon as the two cups of tea were over, a large number of Yingzhou's top civil and military officials were seen arriving, including civil servants from various yamen led by Feng Dao, as well as officers from the third division headed by Zhang Xingzhong, dozens of people came in. After a while, they heard
There was a burst of noise from the direction of Zhongnanhai. The commotion was so great that many officers from the Housing Department in the outer courtyard of the Governor's Mansion also stuck their heads out to take a look.
The two of them were confused and had no intention of drinking tea. They paced back and forth near the concierge, waiting anxiously.
Hearing the sound of chaotic footsteps, the Yingzhou officials who had just entered to discuss matters rushed out in a swarm. The generals were shouting and the civil servants were whispering, and everyone's face showed excitement.
Wang Yibo was shouting and shouting in the crowd, and accidentally bumped into Li Chengyue, then grinned, patted Li Chengyue on the shoulder and said: "Dejian is here? Go back and prepare quickly! Hehehe
, it’s exciting now!” Without waiting for Li Chengyue to ask in detail, he squeezed into the crowd again, and left the governor’s mansion noisily with several generals.
Li Chengyue saw his other brother-in-law, Zhang Xingzhong, in the chaos. He quickly grabbed him and asked, "What happened?"
Zhang Xingzhong has always been steady, but he couldn't help but smile at this moment. He said something to Li Chengyue and walked away without stopping.
The crowd was so noisy that Wang Sitong didn't hear clearly. When the crowd cleared, he rushed up to Li Chengyue and asked, "What's going on?"
I saw Li Chengyue was in a daze for a moment, and finally replied: "Your Majesty... is dead."
On December 15, the first year of Tianfu, Liu Shouguang announced to the world that Liu Rengong, the king of Liaodong County, died of a sudden illness in Youzhou.
In fact, Yingzhou learned the news on December 18, only three days after Liu Shouguang released the news. It took three days to spread the news from Youzhou back to Liucheng, which was fast enough to
This is shocking. You must know that the mourning envoy sent by Jiedu Prefecture to Yingzhou has not arrived at Pingzhou yet.
Different from the excitement of his subordinates, Li Chengzhong was still very entangled in the excitement at this moment, as well as a little anxious, and at the same time there was an inexplicable sadness. In the short military meeting just held urgently, he could clearly see that
I could feel the excitement of dozens of subordinates, but everyone tried hard to hide it, but the concealment on their expressions was quite reluctant. Both civil officials and military generals had blazing flames in their eyes.
Li Chengzhong even inadvertently noticed the two most senior intellectuals under his command, Feng Dao and Han Yanhui. The expressions they looked at each other revealed a strange and unexplainable meaning. Of course, Li Chengzhong never thought about these two people being exposed to Liu Rengong's sudden illness.
"What role did he play in the matter? He confused the meaning behind the strange expressions of the two people with other people.
The reason why this group of people are excited is because the invisible mountain that was pressing on the Yingzhou Army has been removed. This feeling of relief is really delicious. When you are struggling to seek righteousness and honor,
How does it feel when your opponent suddenly gives you a flag that you can raise high, and at the same time helps you eliminate the troubles after raising the flag?
But Li Chengzhong is different from the civil and military officials in Yingzhou. He got his start from Zhou Zhiyu, and Zhou Zhiyu got his start from Liu Rengong. Although he had very little contact with Liu Rengong and only met this powerful figure in Youyan twice.
But Li Chengzhong still remembers these two meetings freshly.
The first time was at the gate of Weizhou City. Li Chengzhong saw the general surrounded by soldiers in the center. He even had the courage to joke with the general, saying that he would snatch Luo Shaowei's concubine for Liu Rengong.
When the war was not going well, he saw the commander vomiting blood. At the same time, the next day he also saw the commander who was patrolling the camp to comfort the soldiers.
The second time was in Youzhou Jiedu Mansion. He proposed his "five-year plan" to regain Yingzhou to Liu Rengong, which won the general's approval. Then at the Youzhou Jiedang military meeting, when he was
When he was awarded the title of military envoy of Liucheng and governor of Yan County and guerrilla general, he saw the commander smiling and nodding to him after the commission.
If Zhou Zhiyu was Li Chengzhong’s career leader and supporter in this time and space, then when Li Chengzhong’s wings hardened, the person who really helped him soar to the sky was Liu Rengong. Although Liu Rengong’s high regard for him was more important
In addition to his love for Zhou Zhiyu and his great achievements, after all, his sudden promotion from a battalion commander to a military envoy and general in charge of the outside world gave him a broader stage and space.
I don’t like Liu Rengong, my boss’s boss.
Li Chengzhong didn't know what Liu Rengong's evaluation was in that time and space, whether future generations would praise or criticize this leader of Youyan. He only knew that this commander had an indelible contribution in his career journey. Therefore, Li Chengzhong
Although I don’t have any special feelings for Liu Rengong, I have always been grateful, so that after hearing the news of his death, I suddenly felt inexplicable sadness in my heart.
If Li Chengzhong had been familiar with history before traveling through time, and if he had known the role played by a line composed of Feng Dao, Han Yanhui, Liu Shanxi, and Guo Bingcheng, then his heart would have been even more entangled.
In another time and space, Liu Rengong did not have the title of Prince of Liaodong. Although he had always dreamed of being crowned king, his official titles were limited to Inspector Sikong, Tong Zhongshu Menxia Ping Zhangshi, and Lu Long Jiedushi. At this point, Li Chengzhong asked him to
His long-cherished wish came true. Another impact Li Chengzhong's butterfly wings brought to him was that he advanced the Da'an Mountain Revolution by five years, causing Liu Rengong's career in power to stop in the winter of the first year of Tianfu. And under the indirect influence of several of Li Chengzhong's subordinates
Next, Liu Rengong, who could have lived in prison until thirteen years later, ended his life prematurely.
Of course, Li Chengzhong was not too entangled. Although he was a little sad, he still couldn't stop the strong desire to fight in his heart, so he immediately convened a military meeting and issued a general mobilization order for Yingzhou. Liu Rengong's death was equivalent to directly raising the army.
The banner of righteousness was handed into his hands. If he did not make up his mind to go to war at this moment, it would be too much of a waste of natural resources.
The excuse given is quite obvious with the word "severe illness". In Chinese history, these two words are very particular. Eight out of ten powerful people died due to "severe illness", and nine out of ten had nothing to do with the word "disease".
coherent.
Therefore, when the mourning envoy from Youzhou arrived at Liucheng, Feng Dao's proclamation was handed over to the envoy. At the same time, this proclamation was also sent to the prefectures in Guannei. The proclamation questioned the cause of death of Liu Rengong, the king of Liaodong County, and demanded
Investigate the truth behind the death and bring justice to the Thirteen Prefectures of Lulong! (To be continued.)
