A tall and powerful military attach¨¦ stood out from a row of officials. He said to Wen Wan: "I am willing to recommend myself. I will do my best to drive out the Japanese pirates."
Wen Wan looked at Wen Yue who stood up. In fact, Wen Wan was murmuring in her heart. Why didn't the emperor drag Wen Yue to the border town? Putting aside personal grudges, Wen Yue is indeed a fierce general. Wen Wan didn't understand the emperor's intention, but she would not accept Wen Yue's self-recommendation: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned me today to ask me to defend myself. He did not ask me to be a general. Tell me, you want me to defend myself. What are you defending yourself for?¡±
Those impeachment officials all retreated when they saw Wen Wan¡¯s sharp eyes. When the military attaches heard Wen Wan say that they were not here to serve as generals, they remained silent. You said she didn't want to fight, and Wenwan had already thrown away her attitude. There is no intention to point out the general now, which is not inconsistent. But no one present dared to attack Wen Wan. This is because he has too strong aura of gentleness and looks like an emperor.
Wen Wan¡¯s trip went very smoothly. Although there were some attempts to make things difficult, they were suppressed by Wen Wan. Others didn't dare to say anything at all.
Xia Ying was a little surprised when she heard Wen Wan say nothing happened.
Wen Wan touched her face and smiled: "This is just taking advantage of this face. My angry look is 90% similar to that of the emperor's uncle. The emperor's uncle Long Wei has been around for a long time, and he is like this this time. Good luck." Those officials who wanted to raise objections were glanced at by Wen Wan with a cold look and immediately retracted their heads. Once the arrogance is suppressed, there won't be much nonsense.
Wen Wan thought for a while and then said: "But this time about the Japanese pirates, I am afraid that these people are just standing in front of the attack. I know that the main army of Daqi is in the border town. They are taking advantage of the situation to rob. We have to be on guard against this."
Xia Ying nodded.
Wenwan leaned on the carriage, even though both corners of the carriage were filled with ice cubes. Xia Xiang was fanning beside her. Wen Wan was still sweating.
Xia Ying looked solemn: "Guan Erlang is more than honest and honest, but not flexible enough. He can handle it as the leader of a mighty army of five thousand. But if he is in charge of the navy along the coast, he may not have the ability." Xia Ying is not worried about those in the court. Officials' opinions. The princess naturally has a solution. The problem is, Guan Erlang is not this material! Losing a battle is troublesome.
Nodding gently. After returning to the Princess's Mansion, Wen Wan immediately sent a greeting note to Prince Hao. After receiving the handwritten letter from Prince Hao, Wen Wan asked someone to prepare horses and go to Prince Hao's mansion.
Wen Wan expressed her worries to Prince Hao: "Grandpa, these Japanese pirates are running around committing crimes, and it is very troublesome to eradicate them. What I am most worried about is not the Japanese pirates, but the collusion between pirates and Japanese pirates to take advantage of the situation. The Huwei Army only has 5,000 people. We can only defend Haikou. I need someone who is responsible enough to destroy these Japanese pirates."
Prince Hao smiled: "Why don't you order Guan Erlang? Guan Erlang is good at water stations."
Wen Wan shook his head: "Guan Erlang is in charge of five thousand tiger troops, which is enough. But he is unable to command the naval forces of several coastal provinces. Moreover, he does not have the prestige." Prestige is not the most important thing. Prestige can be established without prestige. But Guan Erlang didn't have the courage. It cannot deter other generals. Therefore, you need someone who can hold you down.
Prince Hao looked at Wen Wan and smiled and said: "Stop being pretentious, who do you value? Don't tell me that you value me? My old bones can't withstand the bumps."
Wen Wan laughed loudly: "No matter how brave Wen Wan is, I don't dare to trouble Grandpa. I won't beat around the bush, I think Xu Zhongran is worthy of the important task."
Prince Hao was shocked, this girl was going to drag him into the water. Prince Hao shook his head immediately without thinking: "No. No. It's okay for him to be a prefect. How can he lead troops to fight?"
Wen Wan smiled and said: "If Xu Zhongran didn't have the ability, I wouldn't say this to grandpa. Grandpa, Wen Wan is here to ask what you think about this matter."
Seeing that Wen Wan had come prepared, Prince Hao immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "Why are you so sure that Zhong Ran can handle this job? Even I am not so confident."
Wen Wan did not laugh in front of Prince Hao: "Actually, I know that Xu Zhongran has always had some thoughts about the position of the leader of the Huwei Army. The emperor's uncle also felt that Xu Zhongran was both civil and military and was a rare talent, so he reused him, so he was appointed as the leader. The prefect of Haikou. Grandpa, I think Xu Zhongran is too talented to be such a mere prefect. It depends on whether you agree or not. "
Prince Hao smiled sweetly: "Zhongran is talented in both literature and art? Wen Wan. When did you know about it?" Prince Hao was very curious about this! If Wen Wan knew it earlier, why did she refuse in the first place. If we knew now, would Wen Wan regret it? They say women love to gossip, but men are the same, too.
Wen Wan pursed her lips: "???I've known it for a long time. I also know that the so-called son-in-law Xu Zhongran who the princess values ????is just superficial. It is you, grandpa, who really likes Xu Zhongran. am I right! "Everyone in the world likes to sugarcoat things. In fact, the truth often leaves people speechless.
Prince Hao laughed loudly after hearing this: "Now that you know why you refused in the first place? In fact, selfishly, I don't think Xu Zhongran will bury you." Bai Shinian is good, but marrying such a man is very hard for a wife. Xu Zhongran is different. Look how happy his daughter is now.
Wen Wan rolled her eyes. They have been married for many years, and they are still not letting go of the sesame seeds and rotten millet matters: "Xu Zhongran is very good. He is very good in all aspects. I know this. But there is something wrong with him. He He is a very thoughtful person. I happen to be a very thoughtful person as well. Grandpa, what do you think will happen if two thoughtful people live together? "Of course it will get worse.
Prince Hao glanced at Wen Wan and shook his head. It is not a good thing for a woman to be too rational. Wen Wan has a different view on this: "You have to be irrational. If you weren't irrational, you wouldn't have the happy days you have now." Although Bai Shinian is not around, she still feels very happy.
When Prince Hao saw Wen Wan's smile, he knew that she really had no regrets. He also laughed at the moment: "This matter cannot be accomplished by my agreement. I can only tell you that I have no objection."
Wenwan smiled softly: "I think Xu Zhongran really hopes to have such an opportunity to make meritorious deeds. He will be the last generation to have the title of his family." Men all have the same temperament. Hope to make great achievements. Wen Wan believes that Xu Zhongran is no exception.
Seeing Wen Wan's determined look, Prince Hao shook his head and sighed: "You have thought everything through. OK, you can bring this up. I will make it happen. What do you think?"
Wen Wan nodded: "Okay." Wen Wan believed that anyone who is not stupid would be willing. Fighting a few Japanese pirates harassing the border is tantamount to giving away military merit. I believe there are few people who are unwilling to do so.
Wen Wan thought of her two sons in Haikou, but the Japanese pirates were not worried. It didn't work out well in the first year. The Huwei Army has not been a vegetarian in recent years. The prosperous and prosperous ports in Haikou are very safe. Just be afraid, what these people are really after is her child. Wen Wan sighed slightly, luckily the child was not on the island. Otherwise she would have to have nightmares every night.
Wen Wan frowned as she thought of this. He asked Xia Ying: "Do you think these people are not Japanese pirates at all? Instead, they are someone who wants to use the name of Japanese pirates to stir up trouble."
Xia Ying nodded: "Don't worry too much, Princess. In this way, let Mingrui and Mingjin not stay on the island. Let them stay in Haikou. Haikou is relatively safe." Xia Ying didn't know that Ming Rui and Ming Jin should not stay on the island. Rui and Mingjin are not on the island. Mingrui left the island without notifying others and also used a small boat. Disembark directly from another pier. This matter is confidential and only a few people know about it. Xia Ying doesn't know either.
Wen Wan nodded: "They should not be allowed to stay on the island. The island has not been built yet, and there are not many people. When I return home, I will write a letter to Dongqing." It's not that Wen Wan deliberately concealed Xia Ying. Xia Ying would definitely not betray her. But Wen Wan felt that there was no need to let Xia Ying know. Dongqing's side is a perfect line, and Xia Ying's side is also a perfect line. I don't want the two lines to get mixed up. They all have sex, and she takes care of them, which is pretty good.
Wen Wan¡¯s proposal to appoint Xu Zhongran as the chief general in the expedition against Japanese pirates received support from some people, but also received strong opposition from more than half of the people. The reason for the objection is simple, that is, Xu Zhongran has no experience in fighting.
The prince also objected. The prince agreed to make Wenyue a general. Now that Wen Wan is here to undermine him, how can he agree? The prince personally went to the princess's mansion to find Wen Wan and had a deep talk with Wen Wan.
Wen Wan's attitude is good. She only manages the Huwei Army, but not all the naval forces in the coastal provinces. The key point is that Wen Yue has become a general. Wen Wan has one condition: Hu Wei's army cannot leave Haikou.
The prince was speechless. The naval force is most capable of fighting with the mighty tiger, while the navy forces in other places are scattered. Not to mention that the Huwei Army has warships, the latest warships and weapons (Wen Wan's handiwork is relatively large); in addition, the officers and men of the Huwei Army have rich experience in fighting the enemy. Although there has been no major war in the past few years, he often goes out to sea to fight pirates and other things. If Wen Yue is appointed as a general and cannot mobilize the mighty army, he will have to rely on the navy troops from other provinces. To put it bluntly, those navy troops are just shrimp soldiers. They can help him on the side. As for that, Be the main force to resist. When the time comes, don¡¯t talk about killing the Japanese pirates, just don¡¯t be annihilated by the Japanese pirates.
While the debate continued, Prince Hao came forward. Prince Hao found the prince, talked for a long time, and finally decided on Xu Zhongran as the main general, one of the Wen family members as the deputy general (Wen Yue could not be selected as the deputy general), and Guan Erlang as the deputy general. This ending can be regarded as the result of everyone's compromise.
Xu Zhongran really never dreamed that?He actually named him as a general. Well, with Xu Zhongran as general, Princess Yiman naturally returned to the capital with her wife and children. As for the prefect of Haikou, Wen Wan didn't bother. However, Wen Wan soon learned that the new magistrate of Haikou was a disciple of the prince. How could the prince agree to such a lucrative job so readily? (To be continued)
