Chapter 545: Daily life of brothers and sisters, military adjustments
Qin Yue wandered back to the door of Huaijin Garden, looking in the direction of the door from time to time, as if she wanted to enter but didn't dare.
"What's the matter? Come in and talk."
Hearing Qin Yi's voice ringing from his ears, Qin Yue's face suddenly showed a bright smile.
After opening the door, he ran all the way to the backyard. When he saw Qin Yi sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, he walked up to him and said with a proud look on his face.
"My father and mother-in-law always told me not to come to Huaijin Garden all the time to disturb your retreat. I just thought that if I had nothing to do, I would come and hang around the door of Huaijin Garden. While I was waiting for you to retreat, I saw your lovely sister anxious at the door.
If you are lingering, you must let me in, then I won’t bother you."
Qin Yi shook his head and laughed and said, "You are so thoughtful."
"I'm the third brother and you praise me." Qin Yue saw that there were only teapots and teacups on the table, and couldn't help but groaned: "Third brother, don't you have anything else to eat besides tea?"
Qin Yi shook his head and with a wave of his hand, several plates of steaming pastries appeared on the table.
When Qin Yue saw it, his eyes immediately straightened.
"This is a limited supply of cakes from Zuixianlou? It is said that the chef there is the former royal chef in the palace, and the cakes he makes are delicious."
Qin Yi replied in his mind that he was also an imperial chef now. His main job was making cakes for Huaijinyuan of Qingyu Palace, and his side job was making cakes for Zuixianlou opened by Qingyu Palace.
It's just that he has been in seclusion and has gone without food. The side job of the royal chef has now become his main job, and his main job has become a side job.
Qin Yue happily picked up a pastry and ate it, nodding her head and saying, "Sure enough, you can't even taste it. It's made by the imperial chef. It's so delicious."
As for why Qin Yi could instantly "transform" pastries from Zuixianlou, and why the pastries Qin Yi transformed were still steaming, as if they had just been made, Qin Yue only had a fleeting thought when he saw the delicious ones.
After that, I was captured by the delicious pastries. I was immersed in the delicious food and didn't think about anything else.
Qin Yi shook his head and said: "My father and mother-in-law are too strict with you, right? It's just pastries from Zuixianlou, and they won't let you eat them?"
Speaking of this, Qin Yue said with aggrieved face: "Yeah, it's really weird. When I was in Qinjia Village, they loved me. They followed me no matter what I did. When I arrived at the Qingyu Palace, they treated me
I am in charge of everything, I am not allowed to eat this, I am not allowed to eat that, I am not allowed to do this, I am not allowed to do that.”
Qin Yi glanced at Qin Yue and saw through Qin Yue's little thoughts at a glance. He knocked on Qin Yue's forehead and said with a smile: "Shaohu, my father and mother did not let you eat it because you first came here."
You ate too much, your teeth were decayed, and you were not allowed to do this or that. It was only after the eldest brother and the second brother left that they started to take care of you. Before, it was all taken care of by the eldest brother and the second brother. In order to make up for you, they treated you
But you are always willing to respond to requests. You little girl, you still come to me and accuse your father and mother of being cunning, and you will see if I don’t tell my father and mother later.”
How can Qin Yue be as miserable as she said? With her status, she can't just eat whatever she wants in Zuixianlou, let alone pastries.
There are detailed records in his message board.
Qin Yue immediately became honest.
He smiled flatteringly at Qin Yi, stood up and walked behind Qin Yi. While gently rubbing Qin Yi's shoulders, he begged pitifully for mercy: "Third brother, I was wrong. I don't dare to do it anymore."
Don't tell my parents, they will really beat me to death."
Her father and mother are different from her eldest and second brothers. They have watched her grow up and have no feelings of debt towards her. It is not that they have never spanked her before. It is just because she is a girl and her demands are not high and she is spanked less.
That's all.
Once here, her status has changed and the requirements for her have become higher.
In the past, it was okay to have the eldest brother and the second brother to protect her, but now that she no longer has the eldest brother and the second brother to protect her, her father and mother are in charge of her, not to mention how strict they are.
She originally thought that the third brother would help her like the eldest brother and the second brother, but unexpectedly, the third brother was not easy to deal with at all.
Alas, speaking of it, Master is the best.
Only by going to Master's head did she feel that she had grown up and was an adult.
Thinking of this, Qin Yue thought of business.
"By the way, Third Brother, were you the one who eliminated the snow disaster in Beidi?"
Qin Yi gently put aside the tea and asked without answering: "What do you think?"
Qin Yue immediately spoke with reason and reason: "I think this is spreading lies. That is a natural disaster. How can a natural disaster be eliminated by humans? I think this is people's deification of you. It is too exaggerated. This is obviously
It is the credit of Yun Shuai and the others. It was clearly the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army who defeated the Beidi army through life and death. How can you confuse right and wrong like this? This is unfair to Yun Shuai and the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army."
Qin Yi nodded seriously, and then asked in a curious tone: "The eldest brother and the second brother also achieved great victory in southern Xinjiang, but I think the people are not as excited about it as in northern Xinjiang. Do you think this is
what reason?"
When Qin Yue saw Qin Yi nodding, he thought he agreed with her statement, and even asked her for her opinion on another matter... Qin Yue sat back down excitedly, eating pastries while smiling.
said.
"This is not because of you, third brother. As soon as you appear on the battlefield, people will naturally talk about you. Why are the eldest brother and second brother there? Just like what I said before about the Northern Xinjiang campaign, it was just because of the snow disaster.
The thing is, people only recognize half of Yunshuai's contribution, and you gave the other half to you."
Qin Yi picked up the tea cup, blew the tea leaves on it, and then asked with a smile: "Besides this reason, is there any other reason?"
Qin Yue thought for a while and then said: "Also, it should be a first and a second reason. Yun Shuai was the first to take out the war to defeat the barbarian invasion and protect the Central Plains. Naturally, it was discussed more
, people recognize it a little more.”
Qin Yi lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then asked: "Is there any more?"
Qin Yue racked his brains while thinking and replied: "Also, the scale, the scale of the two is not the same. The Beidi side dispatched 300,000 people, while the Nanman side only dispatched more than 10,000 people.
The difference in the number of people is huge, and the scale is not at the same level at all.”
Qin Yi drank tea and asked with a smile: "Is there any more?"
Qin Yue thought hard and said hesitantly: "Because the two sides fought at different times. The northern Xinjiang side fought for nearly a month, and the southern Xinjiang side only fought for one night? Because the eldest brother and the second brother are your elder brothers.
So the light has been covered up? Because the army was separated and returned to the Qin family, so the court stopped publicizing it and started to be hostile, and the sect still remained hostile? "
Qin Yi saw that Qin Yue was not as bad as he could be, so he took over the conversation with a smile: "I can't talk about hostility. It's just that after the army became independent, the court and the sect were outsiders. Naturally, they wouldn't care too much about the army.
Instead, they may secretly stumble because of competition."
Qin Yue nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, they are bad."
Qin Xi's influence on Qin Yue is quite big.
However, it doesn't matter.
Perhaps it would be better if the Qin family became one.
Qin Xi still has a sense of propriety in doing things. She should know what she can and cannot do.
Qin Yi smiled and took a sip of tea: "So, if this happened, you have to find the reason within yourselves. The public discussion is not with me, but with your Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. Your foundation is too shallow.
The people have no foundation and cannot occupy the high ground of public opinion. Once you occupy the high ground of public opinion, why don't you just publicize it however you want?"
Qin Yue blinked and nodded excitedly: "Yes, why didn't I think of it? I know what I should do."
Qin Yi turned his head and glanced at the door of the courtyard and said: "Okay, I have to have a meeting. Do you want to stay here and be a maid delivering tea and water, or..."
Before Qin Yi finished speaking, Qin Yue's eyes lit up, she raised her right hand and said excitedly: "Little maid, little maid..."
Qin Yi shook his head, he was still a child who had not grown up.
"Okay, stand behind me."
As soon as Qin Yue stood behind Qin Yi, she saw Zhou Boyuan, Shaoyao and Master walking over respectfully, and then sat down in the same order as they did last time.
After the three people saluted, Qin Yi asked directly without talking nonsense.
"Sister Aunt, how is the war in southern Xinjiang going?"
Qin Xi quickly raised his head and replied: "The war in southern Xinjiang has ended. Now, we are mainly dealing with the follow-up of the war, the problem of the lantern holder. The lantern holder wants to arrange for people to come to the Central Plains, transform spiritual roots, and cultivate immortality. I think this is
It's a good thing, so I agreed, and the matter has just been settled."
Speaking of this, Qin Xi seemed to have thought of something. After hesitating for a moment, he still lowered his head and spoke softly, reporting: "By the way, the Holy Emperor, the leader of the Qilin lineage on the Lantern Man side, sent us a warning, saying
It is best for us in the Central Plains to focus on internal security. If we expand externally, we may suffer backlash like the Military Saint and the First Emperor."
Qin Yi chuckled, turned to look at Shaoyao and said, "Shaoyao, what do you think?"
Shaoyao snorted softly and said: "The Military Saint and the First Emperor? Can they be compared with the Lord? Backlash? Speaking of backlash, it had already started when the Lord ended the Spiritual Tide Tribulation. The demon clan took action several times.
Isn’t the Lord still doing well? Aren’t we in the Central Plains also doing well? The Nanman lantern bearers remind us not to expand. Hehe, they are afraid that after we expand, they will lose their foundation and will no longer be able to do what they did before.
You can be king and hegemony outside and be at ease."
Having said this, Shaoyao bowed and said: "My lord, this person is too selfish and there is no need to listen."
Qin Yi didn't say anything, just turned to look at Zhou Boyuan: "Mr. Zhou, what do you think?"
Zhou Boyuan stroked his long beard and said: "We think that the lantern-carrying man mentioned this out of good intentions. We in the Central Plains do not have the strength foundation to expand outwards. If we expand southward now, we will definitely lose more and win less. Moreover, at the beginning of the Great Scene,
Li, the Immortal Dao was born, it is the time when we are ready to develop at a high speed. If we expand externally now, the gain will outweigh the losses. It is better to work hard to develop internal affairs and wait until the Central Plains has developed to a certain level before talking about external expansion."
Qin Yi nodded and said: "The old man has the wisdom to seek the country."
Qin Yi looked at Qin Xi and asked, "Sister, what do you think?"
Qin Xi combined Shaoyao and Zhou Boyuan's statements with Qin Yi's attitude, and said after careful consideration: "I think that at this time, we should still focus on stable development, and external defense should be the main focus. However, as for the lantern holder, I think
It can strengthen ties and increase our influence on the foreign countries."
Qin Yi nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, just do what you want. By the way, send me a message to Qilin of the Southern Barbarians. Thank you for his concern for the Central Plains. We will pay attention to it. Great changes may occur in the Southern Barbarians."
, tell him to be more careful."
Qin Xi was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, Holy Emperor."
Qin Yi turned to look at Zhou Boyuan and said, "Dongyi's side will probably be ready in a while. Are you ready?"
Zhou Boyuan said in embarrassment: "The secret technique of sea ships has just been cracked, and the training of mystics has just begun. In a short time, I'm afraid..."
Qin Yi nodded and said: "My sea ship is of no use if it is left in my hands, so I will leave it to you. I hope you will make good use of it."
Zhou Boyuan immediately stood up and took the order with a solemn expression: "Yes, Holy Emperor."
Qin Yi looked at Qin Xi and said, "There are also many private armies of aristocratic families in Eastern Xinjiang. Do you have any ideas?"
Qin Xi had naturally noticed it a long time ago and had prepared it in his mind, so he spoke much more calmly this time.
"I plan to divide it into three parts. Those who are unwilling to join the army will be allowed to retire and go home. Those who are willing to join the army but are willing to leave their hometowns will be transferred to the Zhenbei Army Corps or the Zhennan Army Corps. Those who are willing to join the army but are unwilling to leave their hometowns will
Yes, let them join the navy and enhance the military strength of the navy."
Qin Yi nodded and said to Shaoyao: "Shaoyao, what do you think?"
Shaoyao raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Xi, then said with a smile: "Palace Master Qin has a great understanding of the overall situation. This method is very appropriate. I have no objection."
Qin Yi turned to look at Zhou Boyuan and asked, "Mr. Zhou, what do you think?"
Zhou Boyuan pondered and said: "Yes, but they need to be organized into a team, otherwise it will disrupt my previous plan."
Qin Yi nodded and said to Qin Xi: "But, just deal with it according to your ideas."
Then Qin Yi smiled and said to Zhou Boyuan: "The military government has even withdrawn the Zhendong Army, so the defense of Eastern Xinjiang will be left to you."
Zhou Boyuan stood up again and accepted the order: "Yes, Holy Emperor."
Qin Yi turned to look at Qin Xi and continued to ask: "What's the Zhenxi Army's plan?"
Qin Xi had obviously conducted a detailed investigation and first talked about the current situation of the Zhenxi Army.
"The Zhenxi Army is the same as the Zhenshan Army. They are both direct armies of the Feng family. Unlike the Zhenshan Army, the Zhenxi Army is relatively weaker. When the Dafeng Dynasty fell, the Zhenxi Army was defeated due to chaos.
Many people fled, and those who stayed behind were in constant panic. Over the past few years, the army's morale had been disorganized and military discipline was very poor. If it hadn't been for the control of the Xiantian Sect first and then the Hunyuan Sect, the Western Army would have been defeated long ago.
He has become a gangster."
After talking about the current situation of the Zhenxi Army, Qin Xi then talked about his own thoughts.
"I plan to ask Commander Yun to send a battalion of soldiers and horses over to take over the Yuan Zhenxi Fortress, and reorganize the original Zhenxi Army. Those who can be retained will be retained, and those who cannot be retained will be dismissed."
Qin Yi looked at Shaoyao with a smile and asked, "You are responsible for the Xibo side. What do you think?"
Qin Xi obviously had an affair with Shaoyao beforehand.
In fact, this plan was originally thought up by the two of them.
Therefore, Shaoyao didn't object at all and agreed on the spot.
Zhou Boyuan also had no objection.
Qin Yi smiled and said to Qin Xi: "Then do what you want."
Qin Yi turned to Shaoyao and said: "There has been no movement from the Xibo side until now, so they probably won't take action. However, there are no absolutes in anything, and the Changpo County side must not slack off."
Shaoyao immediately said solemnly: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Then Shaoyao glanced at Zhou Boyuan, then at Qin Xi, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I plan to rebuild the Dharma Protector Army, is it okay?"
Qin Yi shook his head and laughed: "The Dharma Protector Army followed the eldest and second brothers to southern Xinjiang. The Hunyuan Sect cannot survive without the Dharma Protector Army. Well, the Hunyuan Sect has such a large territory and only has 3,000 people, which is a little less. So
Well, I will give you a quota of 30,000 people, and you can make arrangements yourself."
Shaoyao showed a sweet smile, nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
