In Jiangning Mansion, Prime Minister Shen was taken to the school field outside the city early in the morning. At this time, a high platform had been set up in the center of the school ground, and the soldiers of the Ningyuan Army were all lined up in silence. Prime Minister Shen just looked at the appearance of this army.
The shock in my heart can be said to be beyond words. I finally experienced personally the powerlessness of Liao Wenjun and Murong Yanzhao.
"Prince Ning, is this your Ningyuan Army?" Mr. Shen swallowed hard, then turned to look at Suning with a pale face and asked.
"Exactly." Suning responded with a toothless smile, and then told the flag soldiers on the side, "The military parade has begun."
"Yes! Your Majesty." The flag soldier responded to Suning, and then stepped forward and waved the small red flag in his hand. After sending out some regular and organized flags, all the Ning Yuan troops in the audience
It started to move.
The first people to walk past the stage were the infantry of the Ningyuan Army. Every infantryman was wearing armor and holding a spear. They lined up and walked in a goose-step pattern that only appeared in later generations.
The clear sound made Mr. Shen open his mouth in shock. Then, following the leading general's "Look to the right", all the soldiers turned their heads and looked at Suning in the stands with fierce eyes.
It almost scared Mr. Shen next to Suning to the point of peeing.
"Grand Prime Minister, how are the infantry of our Ningyuan Army?" Suning was very happy to see this old fox defeated, and then looked at Grand Prime Minister Shen with a meaningful smile and asked.
"Prince Ning, are all the soldiers under Ning Yuan's army so majestic?" Mr. Shen asked with a very ugly face as he looked at the bad boy in front of him.
"Of course not!"
"Shh! This is not bad." At this time, Xianggong Shen couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. If Ning Yuan's army was so majestic and powerful, then the Song Dynasty court might as well just lie down and "attend to King Ning"
"alright.
"Xiangong Shen, the infantry is only the weakest combat force of our Ningyuan army. Behind us are more powerful cavalry and rapid-fire musketeers." Suning once again explained to Xianggong Shen with a smirk on his face.
"Ah? What?" Mr. Shen stared at Suning with his eyes wide open in shock. He kept covering his chest with his hands. Naturally, he realized that Suning was deliberately trying to scare him.
After the three infantry phalanxes all walked away, they were then supplemented by three new cavalry phalanxes. All the cavalry of the Ningyuan Army were heavily armored and masked, riding on the similarly armored Sanhe.
On top of the horse, a mighty and domineering aura immediately hit his face, which almost suffocated the Song people who longed for war horses the most. As the Grand Prince of the Song Dynasty, Old Man Shen was almost crazy with jealousy.
"Prince Ning, where did you get so many war horses?" At this time, Xianggong Shen directly asked the most critical question. You must know that the channels for war horses have been blocked by Khitan and Xixia.
"God's gift." Suning smiled pretentiously again. In fact, Suning's situation was one of heaven's gift.
"Hmph! Prince Ning must have opened up the shipping route, so why are you hiding it here?" Shen Daxiangong naturally did not believe Suning's nonsense. Instead, he determined that Ning Yuan's army was obtained through shipping. You know
The maritime trade of the Song Dynasty was quite developed.
"Want to buy? This can actually be sold." Naturally, Suning would not miss such a good opportunity to make money, and immediately asked Mr. Shen about his purchase intention.
"Ah? How many?" At this time, Xianggong Shen naturally looked at Suning in surprise and astonishment and asked.
"Ahem! Market price." Suning knew that the war horses were controlled by Daliao and Xixia. These two people often regarded the Song Dynasty as a "capital" to kill.
"Okay! I, the Song Dynasty, want to buy 10,000 horses." Although the market for war horses is very hot, and the market price is naturally a high and terrifying figure, Mr. Shen was still surprised and inexplicably placed the order.
"Yes! But you need money and goods."
"Hmph! Will the Song Dynasty send you this little money?" Seeing that Suning actually judged a gentleman with a villain's heart, the wealthy Prime Minister Shen started to sneer.
"Hey, it's a small business and we don't accept credit."
"you......"
"Master, our Ningyuan Army's ace unit is here." At this time, Suning quickly reminded the old fox next to him that his ace unit was here.
"..."
Turning around again, Mr. Shen quickly saw three new square formations. They were still walking the handsome pace of the infantry, but they did not have the bulky armor of the infantry.
They were only wearing uniform black and red commoners, and each person held a strange-looking firearm in their hands. However, a murderous aura hit their faces again, which made Mr. Shen tense up in fear.
"Prince Ning, why are the firearms held by Ning Yuan's army different from those you sold to the Song Dynasty?" Soon Grand Xianggong Shen noticed something unusual about the musketeers in front of him. The firearms were completely different from those sold by Ning Yuan's army to the Song army.
"Of course it's different! That one is for foreign trade, and ours is for Ning Yuanjun's own use." At this time, Suning smiled disapprovingly, and did not feel there was anything wrong with selling obsolete products at high prices.
"What?" Hearing that Suning could be so shameless, Mr. Shen also felt angry.
"Senior Prime Minister Shen, the officials have officially granted me a marriage. Please go back and thank the officials for me. Also, please report to the officials. I, Suning, have no intention of being an enemy of the Song Dynasty. I just want to use my own means.
and ideas to fight against the barbarians, and I also hope that the officials and the ministers in the court can support Ningyuan's army." Suning naturally did not want to argue with Mr. Shen here, and then expressed his thoughts to Mr. Shen directly.
"Hmph! Why didn't Prince Ning go to Bianjing in person to express his gratitude to the officials?" Mr. Shen looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, and then asked directly with a cold snort.
"fear death."
"Well......"
Looking at the lazy young Prince Ning in front of him, Xianggong Shen didn't know what to say at this time. Although he didn't want to admit the failure of the Song Dynasty court, this was the reality of their entire Song Dynasty court.
He was helpless and suddenly realized that the civil servants and the royal family of the Song Dynasty had suppressed the generals of the Song Dynasty too hard, which gave opportunities for the rebels from all over the world to take advantage of.
"Xiangong Shen, I heard that you have an eldest granddaughter, Shen Hezhen?" Then Suning suddenly looked at the thoughtful Xianggong Shen and asked.
"Hmph! Prince Ning, what do you want to do?" At this time, Mr. Shen's heart was filled with joy, but he still showed a look of guard and surprise on his face.
"Xiangong Shen, since I already have a main concubine, I naturally want to marry a concubine who also has a good family background, and I feel that my granddaughter Shen Ruzhen is very suitable."
"Prince Ning, it is not a good thing for a young man to be passionate." Mr. Shen suddenly said proudly, but he was noncommittal about Suning's marriage proposal.
"Master, I am alone now. Naturally, I am thinking about my wife and concubines and my children and grandchildren, so this is not just my passion."
"snort!"
"Ahem! Actually, my sincerity is quite strong. Mr. Shen might as well go back and think about it more."
"..."
At this time, Xianggong Shen certainly knew what Suning meant by what he said, which meant that he would not have any contact with the Gu family again, and the Gu family would naturally not become the princes and nobles of Prince Ning's palace. In fact, this was also very consistent with the Bianjing Emperor.
After all, if a group of healthy family forces were allowed in Prince Ning's palace, it would be a destabilizing factor for the entire Song Dynasty court, and it would be more dangerous than Suning's current isolation.
You must know that the seemingly colorful Daning Kingdom is all tied to Suning. If one day Suning dies in battle or is assassinated, he will naturally lose all legal heirs, so this is the old emperor.
The fundamental reason why he and his ministers agreed to canonize Suning.
"Prince Ning, He Zhen is the granddaughter of the eldest son of my family. If you want to marry He Zhen as Prince Ning's concubine, you have to prepare a lot of betrothal gifts." Grand Prime Minister Shen originally intended to get closer to Prince Ning. For Suning
Naturally, you are very welcome to take the initiative to ask for relatives.
"Grandpa-in-law, the betrothal gift is a small matter. The main reason is that I don't have any elders here, so I hope the etiquette can be kept simple."
"Well, there's no need to say more about this. The Shen family will naturally consider it."
"Then Suning, thank you grandfather-in-law."
"Prince Ning, I hope you can treat Hezhen kindly."
"Grandpa-in-law, please be at ease! Suning is not an ignorant fool. The Shen family will naturally be a supporter of Prince Ning's Mansion in the future. We are willing to invite the Shen family to move from southern Shanxi to Jiangning Mansion."
"Well, that's a good suggestion! We might consider moving here with Zhen's father's lineage."
"Grandfather-in-law, if my father-in-law agrees to move from Shannan to Jiangning Mansion, please inform Suning in advance so that I can send a team of Ningyuan troops to escort him. After all, this road is not safe."
"good."
...
In the end, Suning still couldn't bear her long hair reaching her waist, so she decisively cut off her long hair and returned to her most accustomed short hair. She also took out the warlord uniforms that only appeared in the Republic of China and distributed them to
All the soldiers of Ningyuan were undergoing a major change of clothes, and they also wanted to see if they could create a trend of cutting their hair and changing their clothes.
"Your Majesty, your body, hair, and skin were given to you by your parents, so why did you cut them off so casually?" Zhang Fangping and others were stunned when they saw that Suning had short hair and was wearing fancy clothes.
.
"Master Zhang, our Ningyuan Army will start attacking Dali and Jiaozhi next. Naturally, it was very inconvenient to have long hair in the past. As Ning Wang, I just want to set an example for my soldiers." Looking at the front.
The ministers were shocked and confused. Naturally, Suning had already thought of an excuse.
"Ah? Your Majesty, do all the Ning Yuan troops need to cut their hair and change their clothes?" At this time, all the Ning ministers looked at each other, realizing that Suning was not a deviant on a whim.
"Yes! The Ningyuan Army is already advancing this matter. Civil servants and civilians will not be forced to implement it. It all depends on your personal wishes and preferences."
"this......"
"My lords, if you don't wash your long hair for three days, it will have an unpleasant smell. In addition, the gathering of troops will naturally breed diseases. If you go to the southwest where the epidemic is rampant, it is really very dangerous.
One thing." Seeing that everyone still didn't understand his excuse, Suning patiently explained in detail.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Suning was a confidant of the officers and soldiers of Ningyuan Army who controlled the Ningyuan Army far beyond the historical dynasty. Even the later Emperor Hongwu could not do anything above the small banner. Therefore, when Suning's royal order to cut his hair and change clothes was issued, all Ningyuan Army
They all implemented it without any hesitation. On the contrary, they strongly supported Suning's new initiative.
You must know that the people on the small flags of Ningyuan's army are all AI robots, and the main soldiers are salt people who have lived a hard life. Naturally, they will not have any resistance to Suning's orders. In addition, "the body is damaged.
The idea of "suffering from parents" is an idea instilled by scholars. These working people at the bottom still regard filling their stomachs as their first priority, so naturally they will not object to the advocacy of their parents for food and clothing, and Suning, Prince Ning, has set an example.
After a haircut and a major change of clothes, Ning Yuanjun was much more pleasing to the eye. Anyway, Suning, King Ning, did think so. In order to express his relief and happiness as King Ning, Suning specially provided a lot of meat and fish for the army.
The navy's large fishing boats can catch a large amount of fish every day. It is not difficult to satisfy Ning Yuan's 150,000 troops. Besides, Suning's space world can satisfy as much pork as they want.
"Prince Ning, everyone in the Ningyuan Army likes the new military uniforms very much. They feel much neater after wearing them." Murong Yanzhao came to Suning with a face full of surprise and reported the feedback of the officers and soldiers of the Ningyuan Army on the haircut and change of uniforms.
"Well, that's good! At first, I was worried that the soldiers would be resistant." At this time, Suning smiled noncommittally, and such a costly promotion has paid off.
"No! All the officers and soldiers above the flag took the lead in cutting their hair and changing their uniforms, and the soldiers below naturally followed suit."
"General Murong, your family has been placed in Jiangning Mansion. Come back and spend more time with them this time. You will be sending troops to Dali in three months."
"Yes! Your Majesty, the general will definitely lead his army to attack the Dali Royal City."
"good!"
Because the emperor had ordered King Ning to be responsible for the entire military affairs south of the Yangtze River, all the generals of the Song Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River came to Jiangning Mansion to report on their duties. They were shocked when they saw that Ning Yuan's army all had short hair and new clothes. Waiting
When we arrived at Prince Ning's Mansion, we were even more shocked to see Suning dressed like this.
"Your Majesty, do all the soldiers in Jiangnan need to cut their hair and change their uniforms?" A Song Army general who came to accept the adaptation asked in surprise as he looked at the young man in front of him, King Ning.
"Yes! The main reason is to attack Dali and Jiaozhi in three months. You must also know that the miasma and epidemics are raging in the southwest, so in order to successfully attack Dali and Jiaozhi in the southwest, our troops must cut their hair and change their clothes.
"." At this time, Suning smiled and said his reason again, and long hair is indeed easy to cause diseases.
"Your Majesty, we are all willing to accept the haircut and costume change." Several Song Army generals looked at each other, and then they all knelt down and agreed to accept the modification and costume change.
"Okay! All the soldiers from the south of the Yangtze River will be reorganized and integrated. I believe that with the concerted efforts of all the soldiers and this king, we will definitely capture Dali and Jiaozhi in one fell swoop."
"Yes! Your Majesty, our Ningyuan Army will succeed immediately."
