Chapter two hundred and seventy second sudden change
The Prince of Nan'an County is so awesome!
Jia Cong can guarantee that this guy is not aware of his new book "Overseas Founding", otherwise he would not be so reckless.
Even if the big bosses in Beijing were interested in the land south of Southern Xinjiang, they would not rashly let the Prince of Nan'an County, who was stationed in Southern Xinjiang, know about it.
It must be that after a consensus is reached, the entire force or group will negotiate or put pressure on the Prince of Nan'an in the future.
After all, the Prince of Nan'an County is one of the few kings with different surnames in Daqing who has military power. He is arrogant and not easy to deal with.
Even the Jingcheng Xungui Group will not rashly form an alliance with Nan'an County Prince. How will the interests be divided then?
In short, it is true that Jia Cong's new policy has caused waves in the capital's top management, but because the time is too short, it is unlikely that a unanimous decision can be quickly formed.
The only people left behind in the Nan'an Prince's Mansion in the capital were the Nan'an Prince's wife and a few wives and concubines. Most of the men in the Nan'an Prince's Mansion were hanging out with the border troops in southern Xinjiang. How could they react in time to the sudden surge in the capital?
In other words, the Prince of Nan'an County sent troops to conquer Qianxiang Kingdom this time, but he acted without permission.
This time, he struck a big trick...
When the dignitaries in the capital became interested in the land south of southern Xinjiang, it was no small matter to rush into the territory of the vassal state rashly.
If it goes smoothly, that's fine, but if it fails...
It is estimated that Nan'an County Prince will have to pay a price that is so painful that he can't breathe just to survive. The most likely possibility is that he will be directly deprived of military power and become an idle prince like Beijing County Prince, which is even worse.
After asking clearly about the number of soldiers and horses brought by Prince Nan'an to the expedition, as well as the amount of food and grass, as well as the routes taken by the soldiers and horses...
"Uncle, Prince Nan'an is really too offended this time!"
After shooing away the senior generals from the capital commander's office who came to report the news, Jia Cong said angrily: "Maybe I'll be in trouble!"
"No way, no matter how reckless the Prince of Nan'an is, he is still a veteran of the border army!"
Lin Ruhai hesitated and said: "He has been stationed in southern Xinjiang for more than ten years, hasn't he never had any problems?"
"Fucking veteran!"
Jia Cong was not polite at all and sneered: "Looking at the experience of Prince Nan'an stationed in southern Xinjiang, he has commanded only a handful of battles. No one knows whether he really commanded it himself!"
"That……"
Lin Ruhai looked even more hesitant. He didn't understand marching and fighting either.
"Uncle should know that the terrain in the south of Southern Xinjiang is almost entirely covered with high mountains and ridges, which puts too much pressure on logistical supplies!"
Jia Cong analyzed in a deep voice: "The Prince of Nan'an County was not even prepared. He led an army of 50,000 into Qianxiang Kingdom in one breath. Just crossing the high mountains on the border of southern Xinjiang is a very hard job. If the logistics at this time
Food and grass were cut off..."
"No way!"
Lin Ruhai broke out in a cold sweat. If this happened, something big would happen.
"The troops have already set off, and we can't control that much!"
Jia Cong sneered: "What we have to do now is to report to the capital first, and at the same time prepare enough grain, grass and military equipment to be transported to southern Xinjiang!"
Although there is no order from the emperor and the court, it is better to prepare early than not to prepare at all. If the worst happens, the situation will not be completely ruined.
Lin Ruhai is an activist and took action immediately after following Jia Cong's suggestion...
First of all, he naturally reported to the imperial court in a hurry for eight hundred miles. At the same time, he found the chief envoy, the inspector general, and the commander-in-chief. He talked about his worries and made preparations for support in advance. Although the other big bosses had
He hesitated but agreed to jointly sign the order.
The old grain stored in granaries in various places was quickly transferred to the nearest waterway strategic point to southern Xinjiang, and the people were recruited to be ready to go at any time.
While doing this, many problems were exposed...
For example, the amount of grain in the official warehouse did not match the number, for example, the grain in the official warehouse was shoddy, etc. Lin Ruhai did not turn a blind eye, but followed Jia Cong's suggestion and ordered the officials who managed the official warehouse.
He made up for the stolen food within a time limit, paid a huge fine, and was transferred directly to become a complete idler.
Not to mention, such a punishment made all the exposed officials grateful. If it were a harsher punishment, it would have resulted in beheading and confiscating their homes.
"If we don't improve the official warehouse management system and continue to put great pressure on the official warehouse officials, this kind of thing cannot be prevented at all. If one group is killed, the next group will be killed, and there is no way to kill them!"
Jia Cong sneered and said: "The role of the official warehouse is to stabilize food prices. When a disaster or emergency breaks out, it can provide timely reinforcements to places in need. As long as we can ensure sufficient food transportation, why do we care about so much else?"
In addition, the soldiers under the command of the Huaiyang Dudu were completely in ruins.
Damn it, as far as Jia Cong saw with his own eyes, these bastards couldn't even stand in line, let alone organize temporary military training for the recruited civilians. It was full of laughter.
Fortunately, Jia Cong was already prepared...
The expressions on Lin Ruhai's, Chief Envoy's and Inspector's Envoy's faces were truly wonderful.
Well, the soldiers in Jiangnan are completely rotten. I just don’t know how effective the border troops, who are known as the elite in southern Xinjiang, are.
In short, the Huaiyang local emergency mobilization caused a lot of jokes.
"Uncle, there is no need to get angry. All you need to do is put enough pressure on the commander-in-chief and the yamen!"
Seeing Lin Ruhai's worried look, Jia Cong disapproved and said with relief: "It doesn't matter if the local officers and soldiers have been sparsely training for a long time. As long as the top management is stricter, the commander-in-chief's yamen will naturally increase the intensity of the army's training!"
"But if the Prince of Nan'an County had an accident this time and asked Qianxiang to rush over, he would find the Jiangnan officers and soldiers looking like this..."
Lin Ruhai frowned and did not say the next words, but the meaning was very clear. I was afraid that it would make these barbarians think something.
hehe……
Jia Cong didn't think so and didn't try to persuade him again.
As the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you will not seek political advice. So what if Lin Ruhai is worried?
Southern Xinjiang is not close to Huaiyang. Even if something happens, the court will not send Lin Ruhai there. Isn't this a clear deception?
…
The imperial palace in the capital, the imperial study room.
"You bastard, what does Prince Nan'an want to do?"
Now he was furious and roared, looking at all the cabinet ministers in the palace, especially Niu Jizong, the Minister of War, with very unkind eyes.
Only offer sacrifices and military services, and do not use false hands on others!
As far back as the Xia and Shang dynasties, the emperors at that time had such a concept, let alone now, there is absolutely no room for such things today.
"How dare you lead 50,000 border troops into the territory of a vassal state without the permission of the imperial court!"
Jin Jin's eyes were cold and he sneered: "It's so majestic and impressive. Don't you have nothing to say about Niu Da Sima?"
Niu Jizong's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. He had already scolded Prince Nan'an bloody in his heart, but now he had to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, the situation may be urgent and Prince Nan'an has no time to report!"
Too late to report!
The remaining cabinet ministers had expressionless faces, but they couldn't help but laugh in their hearts.
"What about the report from Prince Nan'an?"
Now his eyes were filled with fire, his face was ugly and he sneered: "Even Huaiyang has sent military reports, but there is still no news from southern Xinjiang. Is this a sign of an emergency?"
this……
Niu Jizong lowered his head and remained silent. He could bear the current dissatisfaction and anger and explain a word or two to Prince Nan'an. He didn't want to involve himself in it.
"Your Majesty, the most important thing right now is to find out what happened in southern Xinjiang?"
"Yes, the Prince of Nan'an has always been 'secure and safe'. Why did he suddenly become so reckless and impulsive? I'm afraid there must be some reason behind it!"
"No matter what, now that the army has been dispatched, the imperial court must respond immediately to stabilize the peace in southern Xinjiang and maintain the logistical supplies for the soldiers on the expedition. These are all urgent matters!"
"That's true. As for the issue of Prince Nan'an, it's not too late to discuss it after this battle is over!"
A group of cabinet ministers spoke one after another, all with the same meaning: now that the matter is over, we must first stabilize the situation in southern Xinjiang and maintain the logistics of the border troops commanded by the Prince of Nan'an. As for the settlement of accounts after the fall, there is no urgency at the moment.
After listening to the opinions of the cabinet ministers with a livid face, he suppressed his anger and personally named Niu Jizong as the imperial envoy and immediately set off to southern Xinjiang to stabilize the rear.
If it is necessary to allocate grain, grass, ordnance, they will be temporarily transferred from nearby provinces.
From beginning to end, I never considered the possibility of failure...
It wasn't that the monarchs and ministers present were arrogant, it was just that they felt that a small barbarian country could not withstand the destruction of 50,000 elite border troops.
Maybe, the monarchs and ministers were secretly happy. With Nan'an County Prince, a fool, taking the lead, as long as they could capture part of the Qianxiang Kingdom's land, they would immediately rush to get a piece of the pie, and it would also be the richest piece.
Therefore, although the news returned to the capital and spread quickly among the elite circles, it did not cause much shock.
On the contrary, the new books written by Jia Cong, especially the single volume describing the Qianxiang Kingdom, sold tens of thousands of copies in just a few days!
A group of dignitaries who are thoughtful, thoughtful and capable have even secretly sent out capable people to rush to the southern border in advance to prepare for the subsequent entry into the Qianxiang Kingdom to seize the territory.
Even the dignitaries in the capital suspected that the Prince of Nan'an County had also seen "Master Cong" before suddenly launching a war against the Qianxiang Kingdom. The purpose was to take advantage of it, whether it was to seize the fertile fields or the open-pit coal mine.
It's a good deal with huge profits.
The so-called first-come-first-served approach to the building near the water is like this. The territory of the Prince of Nan'an is in southern Xinjiang. If there is an advantage, he must take it first.
Prince Zhongshun was a little anxious. He didn't expect that the situation would develop so suddenly. He had to persuade the emperor to help as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he and the dignitaries tasted the sweetness now, it would be hard to say whether he would have a chance in the future.
