Chapter three hundred and eighty third, do it yourself
"Father, the Emperor personally declares:
Since Erchen entered Shu, he first went to the Jiange Pavilion and took it for his own use due to his great righteousness. Then when the Fan, Zheng and Tan families started to cause trouble, Erchen personally led his army to attack them and punished Buchen.
During the expedition, I discovered that the army in Shu was weak and poorly equipped, making it difficult to put it to good use. Therefore, I ordered the Heavenly Wolf Army to recruit troops on the spot and eliminate the old, weak and disabled in the army. It took a month for the initial effect to be seen.
Although the distance between Shu and Chang'an is only a few hundred miles, the mountain roads are rugged, making it difficult for convoys to move. It is difficult to transport military equipment from Chang'an to Shu, and it costs a lot of money. Therefore, I boldly invited the master of the Weapon Sect to induce him with a small profit.
, built three workshops to make equipment for personal use.
I have heard that over the years, many barbarians in the Shu region who pretended to surrender have caused rebellion and deceived our people of Qin, causing everyone in the Shu region to be in danger. As the governor of the Shu region, I have a duty to protect the people of the region, so I plan to
I hope to rectify the military armament, bring order to the chaos, and restore peace to Shu. I hope that my father will give me permission.
My son has been away from the palace for many days and has not seen his father for a long time. He misses him very much in his heart. However, as the governor of Shu, he did not dare to leave his post without permission. He returned to Chang'an to visit his father. He felt very regretful and hoped that his father would not be blamed.
I wish my father a long and prosperous life and great majesty in the world.
Hu Hai pays his respects."
After Hu Hai finished writing, he threw down the pen and muttered: "Lin Ze, why did you ask me to write these things? I have written so much before, and I haven't seen a reply from my father. Maybe my father is too busy and won't write it at all.
Will look at it."
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to read it, but you have to write it, sir, and before your Majesty replies, the expedition against the barbarians will have to be postponed."
Dissatisfaction appeared on Hu Hai's face and he said: "Why, when I destroyed those aristocratic families, I didn't hear you say that I had to wait for my father's reply. As the governor of Shu, can't I still make a decision? Besides, I, too, can't I make a decision?
I have been waiting to teach those disobedient barbarians a lesson."
Lin Ze just smiled slightly, then his smile faded, and he said with a serious face: "Master, please remember one thing, no matter what you want to do, no matter how outrageous, childish, or ridiculous, as long as you tell your majesty before doing it,
With one voice, I got His Majesty's tacit approval. No matter what the outcome is, the young master doesn't have to worry.
It should be noted that in the whole world, it is not the king's land, nor is it the king's ministers who are on the shore of the land. Your Majesty is the only supreme person in the Qin Empire. With your Majesty's endorsement for the young master, no one in the world dares to embarrass the young master.
Just like the conquest of the barbarians, if Your Majesty acquiesces, let alone the unfavorable outcome of the conquest, even if the land of Shu is in chaos and falls into an uncontrollable situation, the young master will just pat his butt and leave. I guarantee that the young master is safe."
That's right, with Emperor Qin's character, he might not necessarily care whether his heirs would make mistakes, but he would definitely care about someone making independent decisions.
After hearing this, Hu Hai couldn't help rolling his eyes and said angrily: "In the final analysis, you are just afraid of accidents."
Lin Ze just smiled and said nothing. Would he be worried about a mere barbarian? With Han Xin leading the army, the powerful crossbows and other equipment that are invincible in the Qin Dynasty, and the Jinyiwei Intelligence Department spying on the military situation, if he loses like this, why is he still fighting for a big position? Lin Ze
It's better to go home and sleep.
All Lin Ze wanted was Emperor Qin's will.
Just like the chicken soup that is often taught to future generations, when a tiger is chasing you, you don't have to run fast, you just need to outrun others.
So Hu Hai doesn't have to be very good, he just needs to be better than Fu Su.
As long as Hu Hai left a good impression on Emperor Qin with his decisiveness in killing, resourcefulness, and filial piety to his parents, Lin Ze was basically sure that Hu Hai would be able to compete with Fusu.
Therefore, Lin Ze said quietly to Hu Hai: "Whether the young master can ascend to the throne of God in the future, the most important thing depends on His Majesty's wishes. Therefore, whatever the Young Master does, it is best to tell His Majesty."
Hu Hai said nonchalantly: "Okay, okay, the letter has been written according to your wishes. You can send someone to deliver it."
Lin Ze picked up Hu Hai's autographed letter, bowed and said, "I'll take my leave." After that, he slowly left.
Lin Ze then summoned Chen Ping and ordered: "Seal this letter and send someone to Chang'an as a matter of urgency. Find someone more reliable and be sure to deliver the letter to His Majesty."
Chen Ping solemnly took the letter, nodded to Lin Ze and left.
Lin Ze summoned the waiter and said, "Go and ask the two elders from Tianshi Tao who are stationed in the capital city of Shu to come over."
The waiter took the order and left.
On that day, after Zhang Yi was forced to agree to Tianshi Dao's surrender to the Governor's Mansion, under Lin Ze's repeated urging, he had to send the second elder and the eighth elder among the eight elders of Tianshi Dao to stand by.
Along with the two elders, there were more than a dozen elite disciples from the Tianshi Dao sect and dozens of ordinary disciples, all of whom were arranged by Lin Ze in a courtyard in the capital city of Shu to obey orders at any time.
As for why the second elder and the eighth elder are not on good terms, we have to ask our Master Zhang Yitian what he thinks.
Lin Ze didn't care much about this. As long as his subordinates were here, no matter what he thought, he could just do things with peace of mind. If he dared to cause trouble, he was seeking death.
After being summoned by Lin Ze, the second elder and eighth elder of Tianshi Dao hurriedly arrived, saluted Lin Ze and said, "I have met you, sir. I wonder why you summoned me."
Lin Ze said calmly: "The disciples of Tianshi Tao who are accompanying the army, are you ready?"
The two looked at each other, and the second elder took a step forward and said: "Master Qi, the time is too hasty and we are not ready yet. Please forgive me."
Lin Ze frowned slightly and said: "I wonder how long it will take for the two elders to take charge of this matter and be ready? After all, the Governor will soon send out an army to conquer the barbarians. If the Celestial Master Dao is not prepared enough to go out on time, even this will
I'm afraid all the officials will be killed."
"You know, I am in charge of this matter. Since I have a good personal relationship with your Celestial Master, I have never forced the Celestial Master to do anything. Even when the Governor asked about this matter, I patted my chest and said there was no problem.
What, the two elders plan to die together with me?"
The second elder immediately replied: "I don't dare. Sir, how long do you think it will take to finish the work before you can hand over the work?"
Lin Ze said flatly: "Fifteen days, if the disciples of Tianshi Dao cannot be in place within fifteen days, then let Tianshi and myself apologize to the Governor. I just don't know how they will be punished?"
The second elder said quickly: "We will definitely be ready within fifteen days, please don't worry."
Lin Ze said indifferently: "Go and prepare."
The two of them bowed and left.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Ze summoned Han Xin and asked: "How is the recent military recruitment going?"
Han Xin cupped his hands and replied: "Ask the military advisor, everything is going well so far. With the 5,000 new troops recruited, the Sirius Army already has 10,000 people."
Han Xin has been busy and excited during this time. With the expansion of the Sirius Army, the strength of the military expedition has greatly increased, and his martial arts cultivation level has a faint feeling of breaking through the fifth level.
Lin Ze pondered for a few breaths, shook his head and said, "It's not enough. Within another month, the Sirius Army must reach at least fifteen thousand to meet the requirements."
Seeing that Han Xin was hesitant to speak, Lin Ze interrupted directly: "I know you want to be short-lived, but aren't there still actual combat trainings next? The requirements should be lowered appropriately. After several rounds of war, are you still afraid of success?
Can’t become an elite soldier?”
Han Xin smiled bitterly and said: "What the military advisor said is absolutely true. We can use new soldiers to go directly to the battlefield. I'm afraid the Sirius Army will suffer heavy losses."
Lin Ze sighed slightly and said, "Don't worry too much about the casualties. Young Master and I care more about the final result. If one person can be trained into an elite soldier without losing anything, who wouldn't be happy? You are also familiar with the art of war, have you ever
Have you ever seen such a good thing?"
Han Xin remained silent. Although what Lin Ze said was a little cruel, it was also true.
Finally, Lin Ze waved his hand and said: "Go down and prepare well. Don't let the young master and me down. Please know that after the young master succeeds to the throne, I plan to leave the position of Taiwei to you. The better you perform, the better I will
Regarding the relationship with the young master, I am confident enough to make you a marquis and prime minister."
Han Xin was secretly moved, stood up and raised his hands to Lin Ze, and said with determination: "Please rest assured, military advisor, I will definitely not let anyone down. The military advisor's kindness of knowing me and meeting him will be unforgettable for me. I will never forget him in the future."
On a cloudy day, I would like to repay the military commander with my life and death."
After speaking, he bowed deeply.
Lin Ze quickly stepped forward to support Han Xin and said with a smile: "Do a good job, my military advisor believes in you."
Han Xin nodded solemnly, turned and left.
…
Twenty days later, a messenger rushed into the capital city of Shu, holding a mailbox in one hand and shouting loudly: "Eight hundred miles urgent, His Majesty's decree, everyone give way."
Then he ran all the way into the Governor's Mansion and delivered the mailbox to Hu Hai.
Hu Hai reached out and took the mailbox, opened it, and when he opened it, he was stunned on the spot. What did the emperor mean by this?
Hu Hai, who couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time, quickly called Lin Ze and asked, "Lin Ze, please see what my father means by this."
Lin Ze took the letter and looked at it, only to see that there were only four big words written on it: "Be prepared for yourself."
Lin Ze pondered for a moment, then said with joy on his face: "Congratulations to the young master, you have obtained the right to act expediently from your majesty. Even the young master's previous actions without permission have been approved by your majesty. From now on, everything in Shu will be decided by the young master."
It’s up to you.”
Hu Hai looked confused and waved his hands repeatedly: "Lin Ze, slowly, slowly, how do you know that my father has this intention?"
Lin Ze said confidently: "It can be seen from the words. Could it be that the young master doesn't even know the four words "take care of yourself"?"
Hu Hai...
Seeing that Hu Hai was still entangled, Lin Ze quickly brought up the topic and said: "Don't you, Master, never forget about leading troops to conquer the barbarians? With your Majesty's imperial edict, we will be able to go on the expedition soon. Why don't you prepare something?"
As soon as Hu Hai heard that he was leading troops to fight, he immediately forgot about the letter. Lin Ze said it was no problem anyway, so why should he worry about it?
Hu Hai said with excitement: "Calling everyone in the Governor's Mansion to discuss the expedition."
