Shen Guoer was a little surprised. She had never reported the information about these two rebel leaders to Wang Junlin. She couldn't help but wonder how the prince decided that Dou Jiande and Sun Anzu should not be underestimated, but she quickly bowed and said: " Immediately after the meeting, I sent someone to investigate the details of the two thieves."
Yuchi Jingde, Luo Shixin and others were eager to try again, but after learning the lesson from Yuchi Jingde just now, they did not immediately ask for orders.
Wang Junlin added: "But now is not the time to encircle and suppress Dou Jiande and Sun Anzu. On the one hand, it is cold and freezing, which is not conducive to marching and fighting. On the other hand, if there is an order from the imperial court or the emperor takes the initiative to issue an order on this matter, we will But it can maximize the benefits.”
Shen Guoer immediately said: "I will immediately send a message to Luoyang and ask Xu Jingzong and my brother to take action on this matter."
Wang Junlin nodded and said: "Tell them, find a way to get the Yuwen family or the Dugu family, of course the queen and the prince, in short, find a way to get our enemies to talk about it. In this way, between the emperor and the In the eyes of various noble families and the court officials, it is a bad thing for us to send troops to suppress the bandits, and after we destroy the rebels, it will naturally be regarded as a great achievement. Although the current merits of the court are not valuable, we are You can find a way to replace it with something else.”
Shen Guoer said quickly: "I understand, Beizi. It won't be too late. Beizi will make arrangements immediately."
Wang Junlin nodded, and Shen Guoer strode away. Wang Junlin said to the others: "To deal with the rebels, we don't need your elite soldiers from each battalion. Shan Xiongxin is responsible for making preparations in advance. When the imperial decree arrives, he will The county soldiers from the eight counties have gathered together and led the eight thousand county soldiers. When the time comes, your Xiongwu Battalion can hold down the formation from behind, just so that these county soldiers who have never been on the battlefield can practice their skills."
Yuchi Jingde, Luo Shixin, Lu Han, and Guan Xiaotong suddenly looked disappointed, while Shan Xiongxin perked up, stood up, clasped his fists, and said, "I humbly obey my orders."
Wang Junlin nodded and said: "Remember, except for Dou Jiande and Sun Anzu, all the rebel leaders have been killed. Those who surrender can no longer be killed. The rebels who have already killed people are selected and sent to the snake After the training at the island training camp, they can be used as a source of troops to supplement the battalions you still lack. The rebels who have never killed anyone are similar to ordinary people. They are selected and sent to the salt fields to farm, or to work in various workshops. The salt fields There has always been a shortage of labor over there.”
Du Ruhui and Liu Ziming were the first to say sincerely: "Your Majesty is wise."
Others also agreed, and Shan Xiongxin finally said: "I understand the humble position."
…
…
Wang Junlin blatantly forcibly established the Far East March General Administration Office without the emperor's decree and official documents from the court. When the news reached Luoyang, both Yang Guang and the court officials were naturally furious.
But Wang Junlin is now the number one hero of the Sui Dynasty. The imperial court and the emperor have just named him the Prince of Qin'an. He is the only king with a different surname in the Sui Dynasty. His status is too prominent and his reputation is too high. If the emperor and the imperial court do not recognize the Far East March, The General Manager's Mansion will only bring extremely bad effects and make the situation in the counties of the Sui Dynasty even more corrupt. Some wealthy families or important generals from distant counties may follow suit and use mercenaries to support themselves.
Therefore, Wang Junlin expected that after he forcibly established the Marching General Administration Office, Yang Guang and the imperial court would only suffer a dumb loss. Moreover, if Yang Guang was sensible enough, and if the princes in the court truly considered the Sui Dynasty, they would establish the Far East Marching Administration Office as quickly as possible. The most important thing to do at this time is to send the edict and relevant documents to make this matter legal.
In short, no matter how deep the conflict between Wang Junlin, the imperial court and Yang Guang is, there must still be a bottom line between each other. What's more, Wang Junlin deliberately ignored the 20,000 troops of Yingyang Mansion in Fanyang County led by Xue Li.
At that time, whether Yang Guang wanted to conquer Goguryeo again or wipe out the rebels in the world, he could not do without Wang Junlin's sharp sword.
But throughout history, there are countless monarchs and ministers who have destroyed the Great Wall. What's more, in Wang Junlin's view, there are really not many officials in the court who care about the Sui Dynasty. What's more, the Yuwen family, the Dugu family and the prince in the court.
Empress Xiao is also Wang Junlin's mortal enemy. With the efforts of these people, it is very possible for Yang Guang to do something irrational.
Therefore, from now on, Wang Junlin has maintained sufficient vigilance towards the court, which can be seen from the deployment of his troops.
After unifying their thoughts and clarifying the current main enemies and potential enemies, as well as the next focus and main work, everyone dispersed and went about their own business. Wang Junlin sighed lightly, with a heavy expression on his face.
Because he knew that the turbulent times of the Sui Dynasty were coming. Although he was not a "Madonna", let alone a kind person, when he thought of the turbulent times of the late Sui Dynasty that caused tens of millions of people to die, he felt his chest become heavy. This number
It's so big that it would feel very heavy on anyone who knew it in advance.
Wang Junlin was sighing secretly when a guard came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Xue Li, the master of Yingyang Palace, sent a message asking to see the prince..."
Wang Junlin took the invitation, threw it on the table, and said with a smile: "Let him wait in the outer hall!"
…
…
The guards led Xue Li to the front hall of the marching manager's house to wait.
"The chief steward is discussing matters in the back hall. Please ask General Xue to wait here for a while..." The guard ordered someone to make tea and then left.
"Thank you very much. I will wait for you here, Mr. General Manager." Xue Li's hair on the temples has turned gray and he is already in his fifties.
Although Wang Junlin had been very polite to him since he came to Fanyang County, when he thought about how after Wang Junlin came to Fanyang County, he killed the naval commander of Fanyang County, defended Fanyang County, and wiped out the entire Lu family.
People or forces, Tong Shou is on the same level as him, and everyone else is higher than him, not to mention the forces represented by the Lu family. The existence that was originally a local emperor in Fanyang County was not easily wiped out in the hands of Wang Junlin.
, millions of fertile fields became an important bargaining chip for Wang Junlin to raise private soldiers.
In Xue Li's view, the reason why the nearly 100,000 men under Wang Junlin only recognized Wang Junlin and not the imperial court was that Wang Junlin directly gave the Lu family's millions of fertile fields to all the soldiers. Even in his opinion, Wang Junlin
The money used to support the soldiers was obtained from the Lu family's property.
From this point of view, Xue Li's intelligence channels are really poor, and it can also be seen that his level is really low, which is directly related to his origin.
Xue Li looked at the furnishings in the hall with a changing expression.
This is the study room where the newly established General Manager of the Far East March, the General Manager of the March and the Grand Administrator of Fanyang County, and the Prince of Qin'an County, Junlin, work daily. It looks really simple and very small, only 578 steps square, in the middle.
