"PS: Today is a chapter of 4,000 words. Let me sort out my thoughts on internal affairs. What I am worst at is writing about internal affairs."
————The following text————
Two days later, when the recruitment of the Beibo Army was not yet over, Shen Yu, together with Li Wei, Zhou Kui, Cai Qinhu, as well as the newly surrendered generals Li Huo, Chen Si and other former Beibo Army generals, inspected the recruitment matters.
It has to be said that the imperial court's memorial tribute to Xiang Ding greatly enhanced the overall image of the Wei state in the hearts of the soldiers in Beibo. Coupled with the cooperation of Li Huo, Chen Si and others, the Wei army in Huling integrated Beibo. On the whole, Bo Jun's affairs went very smoothly, and no incidents occurred during the period.
"...Your Majesty means that after the reorganization is completed, the entire Huling Navy Army will be reorganized, some soldiers will be eliminated, and the number will be controlled to around 50,000..."
While walking, Shen Yu conveyed the attitude of Wei King Zhao Run to the generals.
In this regard, neither Li Ji, Zhou Kui, Cai Qinhu, nor Li Huo, Chen Si and other surrendered generals from the Beibo Army dared to have any opinions.
But in the end, Li Huo still raised the question in his mind: "Regarding the position of the navy, the general still doesn't understand..."
"What don't you understand?"
Shen Yu said with a smile: "Thanks to His Majesty's trust, Shen is appointed as the military commander (chief general) of the Huling Navy. You are all under Shen's account, but on weekdays you are in charge..."
"Are each fighting?" Chen Si asked with a frown.
"No, no, no." Shen Yu shook his head and explained: "The division is divided into divisions. Our Huling Navy currently has four divisions, namely Junshui, Chenggao, Fenxing and Beibo. Although Currently, our army only has three Tiger-class warships, but slowly, each division will have its own Tiger-class fleet, yes, it is a fleet... For daily training, each division is responsible for its own responsibility, and it can contact other divisions. The team can be used as an imaginary enemy, or the old warships in the water village can be used as imaginary enemies for training... In short, this vast Weishan Lake is enough for the four of you squads to perform..."
Hearing these words, Li Huo, Chen Si and other Beibo Army surrendered generals looked at each other. They did not expect that the Wei State or the King of Wei would actually give them such high freedom and rights - weren't they afraid of their rebellion?
Of course, this idea only flashed in the minds of Li Huo, Chen Si and others before they were denied by themselves: Of course Wei Wang Zhao Run would not care whether they would rebel. Do they dare? What are the benefits?
Anyway, this is a very stupid question.
"...Besides, I, as the commander-in-chief, only strategically command you when my Huling Navy is leading the battle. On weekdays, you can make your own decisions on fleet matters. I also do business on my side. The affairs of Shuijun cannot stay in this area for a long time...
When I am away, General Li Qi, you will serve as the deputy general and contact the various divisions..." Shen Yu said again.
"yes!"
Li Qi answered with cupped fists.
Although it is a bit embarrassing for Shen Yu, a junior who is only more than 30 years old, to be the deputy general, considering that Shen Yu is one of Wei Wang Zhao Run's most trusted confidants, and this naval commander only commands them during the war. , on weekdays, they are mainly concerned with the affairs of Shangshui County, which makes Li Qian not only embarrassed, but also very happy - after all, it can be regarded as a promotion.
A few people were chatting when they suddenly saw Shen Yu's bodyguard rushing from the original place, shouting: "General, the beam is eight hundred miles away, hurry up!"
"Huh?" Shen Yu frowned slightly.
"Eight hundred miles urgent?"
Li Ji, Zhou Kui, and Cai Qinhu's expressions became condensed, and even the newly surrendered Li Huo, Chen Si, and others were inexplicably nervous.
Under the gaze of several generals, Shen Yu took the letter and read it solemnly.
Seeing this, the generals became even more nervous. Li Qian asked solemnly: "General Shen, is there something important?"
Somehow, Li Huo asked with some anxiety: "Is it related to Song County? Or is it related to our Beibo Army?"
Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, and after looking around at the nervous-looking generals around him, he said with a smile: "No, no, no, the 'Qin Concubine' is about to give birth, so His Majesty asked me to return to Daliang immediately. For this reason Let's celebrate..."
"..."
Including the surrendered generals such as Li Huo and Chen Si, the generals opened their mouths slightly and stopped talking. After a long time, they couldn't help but curse secretly in their hearts.
Shen Yu didn't know that these generals were slandering him in their hearts at this moment. He smiled and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty is anxious in his heart, so Shen will say goodbye to you all here, please."
"General Shen, take care of yourself..." the generals said, clasping their fists.
After bidding farewell to the generals, Shen Yu took his guards and left slowly.
Looking at his leaving figure, the generals could not help but feel a little envious: Isn't it a great honor to be summoned by King Zhao Run of Wei to Daliang to celebrate the birth of Concubine Qin?
"How about we also send a congratulatory gift?" Zhou Kui suggested hesitantly.
Should I give it away?
Of course, the monarch of Wei State is happy to have children!
The problem is, they only heard about it from Shen Yu's mouth, so isn't it a bit inappropriate to come together and give him a gift?
The people who were most confused about this matter were Li Huo, Chen Si and other newly surrendered former Beibo Army generals.
Let’s not talk about the headaches that the generals of the Huling Navy had to give or not to send gifts. Let’s say that Shen Yu returned to Huling Water Village by boat, found a boat from the Water Village, and boarded the journey to Daliang, but It's a pity that he still couldn't return to Daliang before Concubine Qin was born.
In mid-September of the third year of Wei Xing'an, Princess Yingying of Qin State gave birth to a pair of children for King Zhao Run of Wei. The process went smoothly and mother and child were safe.
Yingying's palace is Youzhi Palace.
Lying on the bed in the inner pavilion of Youzhi Palace, Qin Shaojun Yingying looked very haggard at this time, but when her eyes saw the two flesh and blood beside her pillow, her tired face revealed a deep look of sadness. smile.
"My sister finally got her wish this time..."
With a bit of envy, Su Ran said from the side.
Yingying smiled sweetly. Not only did she get her wish this time, she was simply elated. The limelight overshadowed Zhao Run's other women - after all, she gave birth to a pair of children for Zhao Run.
She secretly glanced at Queen Mi Jiang, who was sitting not far away, but regretfully found that this powerful enemy still had an unmoved expression.
But think about it, Mi Jiang's son Zhao Wei is three years old and has been raised as the prince of Wei. What does she have to worry about?
Not to mention that her son is already a prince, even if he is not, Mi Jiang will not care based on his character - rather than looking forward to his son inheriting his father's throne in the future, Mi Jiang hopes that his son will be safe and sound, and then look at him. Get married and have children, and hope that he will live a happy life.
"Your Majesty is here." The palace maid's voice came from outside.
Immediately, Wei Wang Zhao Run strode into the inner hall. After saluting Queen Mother Shen, he sat next to the bed and looked at Qin Shaojun Yingying and the two little guys who didn't even open their eyes.
Also following him in at the same time were Zhao Wei, Zhao Chuan, Zhao Han, Zhao Chu, Wei Yun, and Wei Ning.
Among these children, Zhao Run loves Zhao Chu and Wei Ning the most. After all, they are daughters (adopted daughters). As for the boys, they have to be a little stricter.
This can be seen from the words and deeds of these little guys: Zhao Wei, Zhao Chuan, Zhao Han, and Wei Yun only dare to stand aside honestly, but two girls, Zhao Chu and Wei Ning, can come to Zhao Next to Zhao Run, Zhao Run looked curiously at his younger siblings on the bed with bright eyes, saying some very innocent words, such as "My younger siblings are so ugly", "Why don't my younger siblings open their eyes", etc., making Zhao Run and Zhao run amused. Everyone in the hall laughed heartily.
Seeing the scene of a house full of women, the most gratifying thing is Empress Dowager Shen, because including her adopted son Wei Yun and adopted daughter Wei Ning, her son Zhao Run now has five sons and three daughters. The branches and leaves are blooming.
Of course, as Zhao Run's mother, she is still not satisfied, so that today, while taking care of Ying Ying, she is constantly urging Zhao Ying and Zhao Que sisters. Who knows, now the only two sisters left have not yet given birth. What about raising children? In fact, even Mijiang, Su Ran, Yang Yanxing, and Wu Na, who had already given birth to a boy and a half girl, were called aside by Prefect Shen one by one, urging the girls to work harder. The girls were so shy.
About seven or eight days later, Shen Yu returned to Daliang from Huling in great excitement to congratulate Zhao Run.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun had once again granted amnesty to the world in the name of the imperial court.
Logically speaking, if a concubine gives birth to a prince, there is no need to make such a fuss, but it is undeniable that Qin Shaojun Yingying's status is unusual. She is the princess of Qin and is the most powerful link between Wei and Qin.
In the national policy of the imperial court, the potential threat of Qin is far lower than that of Chu, which is also an ally of Wei. Therefore, given that the relationship between Chu and Wei is likely to deteriorate in the next twenty years, Wei must firmly Seize Qin, a powerful ally, and unite with Qin to suppress Chu if necessary.
Therefore, Wei must now take care of Qin's mood.
You must know that Qin Shaojun Yingying missed the position of queen, which has made the Qin State and even the King of Qin very dissatisfied. If the Wei State cannot make peace between Mi Jiang and Yingying, the consequences will be disastrous.
But to be honest, in the Wei Kingdom, except for the fact that Yingying does not have the actual title of queen, her status is actually not much different from that of the queen. After all, she is a princess married into a big country.
After Zhao Hongrun thought for a moment, he named the newly born children. The baby boy was named "Xing" and the baby girl was named "An". Year number.
At the same time, he followed his original promise and conferred the title of "Shang Jun" on the newly born Zhao Xing, becoming the first prince in the history of the Wei Kingdom to be canonized as a prince and have a fiefdom just after he was born.
In the next month or several months, the Qin State sent valuable gifts one after another. Among them, the most generous one was the banished Lantian Lord. He personally rushed to Daliang to visit his grandnephew and grandnephew. He also presented many valuable jades and jewelry, which were not inferior to the lavishness of Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu when Mi Jiang gave birth to Zhao Wei.
A few months later, as the New Year approached, the celebrations about Concubine Qin giving birth to a prince and a daughter inevitably faded and were replaced by congratulations on the upcoming New Year for the fourth year of Xing'an.
At this time, Wei State finally learned the news that "Yue State surrendered to Chu State".
I have to say that Zhao Hongrun was very surprised when he learned the news.
You must know that he is very aware of the contradiction between Yue and Chu. The hatred of the Yue people towards the Chu country is no less than that of the Chu people towards the Qi country, or even worse.
But who would have thought that the Yue State would actually surrender to the Chu State.
"Is this...is this news true?"
Zhao Run immediately summoned Gao Kuo, the Zuodu Lieutenant of Tiance Mansion, to inquire about the authenticity of the news.
Gao Kuo nodded and said: "After learning about this, the Qingya people stationed at the border of Qi and Chu went to investigate. It was absolutely true that Shaokang, the king of Yue, had indeed surrendered to Chu. Moreover, he also came forward to call on the Yue people in Chu.
, so that it will not cause trouble again..."
Hearing this, Zhao Run couldn't help but feel his heart sink.
If Korea was once hindered by the foreigners Lin Hu and Dong Hu, then the Chu State was hindered by the Yue people - the Yue people who were once destroyed by the Chu State, just like the Beibo Army of Song County.
They still insist on causing chaos in Chu State. The difference is that the Yue people are more radical than the Beibo army.
Such as the West Vietnamese mob.
I still remember Qu Ping, Lord of Xiling, and Lord Jingshe of Shouling, one of the first three pillars of the Chu Kingdom. Their original duty was to contain the resistance of the Western Vietnamese mob against the Chu Kingdom.
But now, the Yue King Shaokang, who enjoys high prestige among the Yue people, personally came forward to speak for the Chu State and called on the Yue people to stop their grievances and grudges with the Chu State. This means that the Chu State finally put aside the burden of the Yue people.
, I can finally devote myself wholeheartedly to the construction of the country, and will not be deliberately sabotaged by the Vietnamese again.
This is very detrimental to Wei State!
Quite disadvantageous!
Because this means that the expectation of conflict between Wei and Chu may be greatly shortened.
After all, the Chu State is a big country with great potential and heritage. Whether it is the largest territory in the Central Plains or has the largest national population in the Central Plains, these are favorable conditions for the rapid development of the Chu State.
"I really can't believe it, how on earth did that guy Xiong Tuo convince Shaokang?"
Zhao Run was puzzled.
Although he had not met Shaokang in person, he had also heard that Shaokang, the king of Yue, was a very courageous monarch. This was because he ignored Chu's previous threats and warnings and resolutely restored Yue despite the pressure of Chu.
You can see it.
However, it seems that such a courageous monarch actually surrendered to the Chu State and Zhao Run's brother-in-law, King Xiong Tuo of Chu.
"Is that guy Xiong Tuo's intimidation... already reached this point?"
Zhao Run shook his head in disbelief.
It had to be said that this was just a surprise because he had not seen Xiong Tuo in person for several years. The Xiong Tuo in his impression was still the irritable, impulsive, and easily angry Xiong Tuo in Zhengyang County.
.
But in fact, after Xiong Tuo took the position of King of Chu, his personality had already changed a lot and he had become more restrained.
"Chu-Yue Alliance..."
While muttering to himself, Zhao Hongrun paced back and forth in the Ganlu Hall.
The alliance between Chu and Yue will not actually increase Chu's strength, but it will fundamentally release Chu's original level, which can be regarded as increasing the threat of Chu in disguise.
This kind of vassal-type alliance is actually not uncommon, such as the Wei-Wei Alliance.
However, after the death of Wei Gong Ziyu, the Wei State was completely in ruins, and Zhao Run no longer expected the Wei State to be able to help - so he stepped up his efforts to win over the Qin State.
The Qin-Wei Alliance, the Qi-Lu Alliance, the Chu-Yue Alliance, plus the reclusive South Korea in the north, these four forces are faintly formed in today's Central Plains. It seems calm, but in fact there is an undercurrent.
