Xia Ying finished talking to Wen Wan about the situation in the capital, and then reported on the war along the coast. The war along the coast has been going on for more than two months. This time there were not only the Japanese pirates who had not been completely eliminated before (there are always fish caught), but also the rampant behavior of pirates. The five thousand men of the Huwei Army are far different from the number of these pirates. Therefore, the battle was barely a draw. Fortunately, Wen Wan allocated a large amount of money last year to purchase warships and other necessary items, and now they are just in use. If not, I don¡¯t know what will happen.
Xia Ying said with a stinking look on his face: "Xu Zhongran took the pledge and asked the court for military pay, food and grass. The sixth prince suppressed the pledge and refused to issue it. According to the news, some courtiers suggested that the sixth prince change his general. Replace him with Wen Yue, saying that Wen Yue After many battles, if you jump out of the horse, you will definitely succeed."
Wen Wan heard the idiom of immediate success and smiled: "Is this general so easy to replace?" When Xu Zhongran was outnumbered and outnumbered in weapons and equipment, it was already good to be able to draw a tie. At least it proves that Xu Zhongran is still very capable of becoming a general. Now when the general is changed, it depends on whether Prince Hao agrees or not.
????
Wen Wan is not worried that Wen Yue will become the leader. With Prince Hao holding on there, he would like to change generals for a while, but it's not that easy. Prince Hao's silence now does not mean that he can be allowed to be stepped on by the Wen family. But Wen Wan felt it was ridiculous in her heart, and sneered: "Let a land general fight a water battle. These people are really vicious. They want the entire Huwei Army to be annihilated!" Wen Yue was asked to replace Xu Zhongran. It is true that Wen Yue is an extremely experienced general who has experienced hundreds of battles, and Wen Wan does not deny Wen Yue's ability. But if a general who is accustomed to land combat is asked to command a naval battle, Wen Wan doesn't have to think about it. This battle will be lost 100%. These people want to cause chaos along the coast. I really hope that the world will be as chaotic as possible. Then fish in troubled waters.
Xia Yao knows a little about military matters, but Xia Ying knows nothing about it. So Xia Ying just listened and didn't ask any questions.
Ling Chang couldn't help but ask: "Auntie, Wen Yue is also a general who has experienced hundreds of battles. Why would the entire army be wiped out if he replaced the general Hu Wei." Thanks to Wen Wan, Ling Chang had a good understanding of these ministers in the court. , which is still very well known.
Wen Wan explained to Lingchen the difference between naval and land battles: "Land battles take into account many fewer factors than naval battles. People who are accustomed to land battles will find it difficult to adapt to naval battles." Land battles and naval battles are completely different combat environments. . In land warfare, as long as the troops are strong and the horses are strong, the weapons are good, and the generals are commanded properly, it will be enough if these are met. But naval warfare requires basic hardware equipment. Objective conditions such as weapons and battleships, and proper command by generals are also necessary, but in addition to these, external factors such as weather should also be considered. Wind direction, tide and many other factors. Also, whether the soldiers in the north can adapt to the climate in the south, and most of the soldiers in the north can't swim. Falling into the water is 100% fatal.
The 5,000 people in the Huwei Army are all from the south. They are all good at water and very tough. Now let Wen Yue, a landlubber, lead a naval battle with a man who is incompetent and even gets seasick. Let¡¯s not talk about whether the Huwei Army will obey them. The Japanese pirates and pirates alone do not have the time to adapt to the weather in the south. If you open this gap, the result can be imagined.
Bai Shinian was also lucky and went to the coast first. The border town that I went to after becoming famous would definitely not be as famous as it is now if it were the other way around. This is also luck. Wen Yue lost at first, but then he lost to the end and could no longer catch up.
Ling Chang opened his mouth: "Aunt knows so much." My aunt even knows about marching and fighting. There is nothing else that my aunt doesn't understand.
Wen Wan smiled softly: "I am now the leader of the Huwei Army. If I don't understand anything, I won't even know if I am deceived by them." These are basic things. It's just that the transportation here is not developed, and people don't pay much attention to water warfare, which leads to blindness.
Xia Ying waited for Wen Wan to finish talking to Ling Chang before asking: "Princess, the court does not give the army pay and food, what should we do?"
Wen Wan smiled faintly: "If you don't give it, it's the court's business. However, the Huwei Army's military pay and food cannot be cut off. Let Dongqing assist Jiang Lin in getting this matter settled." She is in charge of the Huwei Army, and it is her responsibility if there is no military pay, food and grass. She could first transfer it from the emperor's private treasury and then tell the emperor about it. As for the other soldiers, she had nothing to do with them. Let Xu Zhongran worry about it.
Xia Ying also means the same thing. In fact, the Huwei Army is the main force along the coast. As long as the Huwei Army is fine, everything else is easy to say: "This requires the princess's personal seal." To withdraw large sums of money, you must have a Wenwan personal letter and a seal. Otherwise, no one would be able to withdraw money from the Guangyuan branch in Haikou. Not even Jiang Lin himself could do it.
Nodding gently, he immediately wrote a secret letter and took the seal from under the pillow.He handed the seal to Xia Ying. Wen Wan did all this while Ling Chang watched from the side and did not shy away from it at all.
Wen Wan is not too worried about the war along the coast. No matter how bad it is, it can't be better than now. Even in the border towns, there is no need to worry. The emperor is in charge and Bai Shinian is there to assist. The most worrying thing now is the capital. Thinking of this, Wen Wan will inevitably feel a little irritated: "Tell me, how are they doing with their investigation? It's been three days, doesn't it mean that it can be done in three days?" Wen Wan doesn't even know what these people do. .
Xia Ying shook his head.
Wen Wan muttered dissatisfiedly: "I heard Xia Yao occasionally mention the Shenji Camp before. Although there are not many people, they are all talents picked out for emergencies. No trace has been found for a long time. They have all degraded. ¡±
After Wen Wan said this, she found that Xia Ying's expression was a little unnatural. Immediately, my heart shuddered: "No, the people in the Shenji Camp can't be so bad. The people in the secret guards can't be so idiots either. Are you hiding something from me?" She didn't know that the secret guard the emperor had hired himself Great understanding. But the people left by the emperor's grandfather to the emperor's uncle, just by looking at the martial arts stars, they knew they were definitely good.
Xia Ying pursed her lips several times, but finally said nothing.
Wen Wan was angry: "Don't tell me, all these elites have been transferred to the border towns. Just leave the crooked melons and cracked dates to me." If this is the case, the emperor's uncle has gone too far. No wonder it takes so long!
Xia Ying said weakly: "No, half of it is left. It's enough to deal with these people."
Wen Wan curled her lips. It will take so long to be able to deal with these. Hey, everyone who is an emperor is so selfish!
Xia Ying saw Wen Wan and Bo Nu's expression and said quickly: "Don't worry, princess, we have manpower inside and outside the princess' mansion. We will absolutely guarantee the safety of the princess." Xia Ying knew where Wen Wan's bottom line was. As long as their own safety is not involved, other princesses won't care too much.
Wen Wan snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Prince Hao didn¡¯t have any objection to the sixth prince¡¯s decision to keep his son-in-law, but he looked gloomy when the sixth prince wanted to replace his son-in-law Xu Zhongran. Prince Hao actually knew that the sixth prince was forcing him to express his support for him. Since he and Prince Chun are both neutral, the clan mostly adopts a wait-and-see attitude. What the Sixth Prince did was actually knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger.
Prince Hao pondered for a long time in the study and asked: "What's going on in the princess's palace?" He didn't believe it, Wen Wan was still calm now.
After a while, a person came in and reported: "Your Majesty, there is nothing unusual in the Princess's Mansion. Except for His Highness Lingcheng who went in yesterday, only people pouring night incense came in and out of the Princess's Mansion. Even the purchasers did not go out. Zheng Sheng ordered the guards to send the orders out, and the vendors delivered the dishes to the back door. I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on in the princess¡¯s mansion.¡±
Prince Hao frowned.
The staff below basically suggested that Prince Hao soften his attitude, but Prince Hao still frowned: "Wait a little longer." He was worried if he didn't see gentle actions. He couldn't get any news from the emperor. Still need to take a look.
Although the emperor valued Prince Hao on the surface, he still would not let Prince Hao interfere in more sensitive areas, such as military power. Prince Hao himself also knew how to avoid taboos, so this time, due to double obstacles, Prince Hao didn¡¯t get the news.
There is someone more worried than him, and this person is He. He asked the maid next to her: "What does the Lord say?" Princess Wenwan must be eliminated, and I believe the Lord understands this better than she does. She is now waiting for the Lord's order.
The maid nodded: "The master said that the time is not mature yet. Just wait." In fact, their master was waiting for news from the border town. If the emperor dies and the sixth prince ascends to the throne and waits for the emperor, then they can slowly and slowly deal with Wen Wan. If the emperor wakes up, they will take action immediately. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, the arrow must be fired when it is on the string. After all, if I wait for such an opportunity, I don¡¯t know how long it will take!
Xia Yao, who was in the mountain village, felt very anxious when she saw that Mingrui and Mingjin had lost a lot of weight in the past month or so. Wu Xing comforted her and said, "Don't worry, they won't have to worry when the good news comes from the capital. Then they can make up for it and let the princess see that the two children are not thin before returning to the capital." "It's impossible for two children to grow up to be fat and white. In the hot weather now, the two children practice martial arts every day and are very busy at night. In addition, they are worried about the princess's safety every day, so they will definitely not gain weight. But it's still okay to get stronger and gain weight after things are over.
Xia Yao was very worried in her heart: "You said, it's already September, why is there still no news? This is too long, it's almost a month." According to Xia Yao's calculations, half a month is enough nailed it. Unexpectedly, this has been going on for a month, and I don¡¯t know if something happened in the capital. Let Planned Life change. This is what Xia Yao is most worried about.(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
