. "Your Majesty, why did you agree to Princess Caiyun's plan? How can you be so ignorant of the national conditions when the country is empty now?" Wu Wu took the instructions I gave Caiyun, his face was excited, his eyes were stunned, and he was very puzzled.
I didn't expect him to be so excited. After thinking about it, I said calmly: "Caiyun's Fire Phoenix Army has 300,000 troops, but my Three Guards Army and Huanglong Army combined are not that many. How do you think we should deal with it?" this matter?"
Wu Wu already had the answer, and said straightforwardly: "Of course it is a reduction. With the humble minister's intention, I simply surrendered the 100,000 gold men and escorted them all to Jiankang, so as to make up for the loss of soldiers in the Northwest War. "
This plan has been decided by the military department a long time ago, and from the standpoint of the military department, it is not inappropriate. On the contrary, it is a very good plan. It not only checks and balances the Fire Phoenix Legion, but also gains a large number of people, which can benefit in several aspects.
This plan seems to be stable, neither good nor bad, but it has many hidden worries.
I remained silent, and Wu Wu thought I was moving, so he continued to persuade: "Now the Qinglong, Southwest, Red Dragon, and Yellow Dragon armies have all suffered losses due to the Northwest War. Only the Fire Phoenix Army has not decreased but increased in strength, and its power has been greatly defeated. , Your Majesty must not ignore it."
Speaking of this, I could no longer remain silent and sighed, not knowing what to say. If the leader of the Fire Phoenix Legion was not Caiyun, Wu Wu's plan would definitely be implemented, but now that the leader of the Fire Phoenix Legion is Caiyun, many things are different.
Different people have different ways of dealing with it. This is a very simple common sense.
After hesitating for a while, I said helplessly: "Wu Wu, I don't know what you are talking about. It's just that Caiyun has no intention of turning back. As time goes by, I believe that the entire Liaodong and Northeast China will belong to the Song Dynasty. The strength will reach a higher level. What's more, except for the tens of thousands of people brought by Caiyun, most of the Fire Phoenix Legion is composed of people from the North. There are many foreigners among these people. They can submit, mostly because they are convinced by Caiyun. If If we force him back to Jiankang, how should he be resettled?"
Wu Wu wanted to say something, opened his mouth, and suddenly closed it again. After a moment, he said: "Your Majesty, are you worried that these people are so unruly that they cannot obey our arrangements?"
"Most of these surrendered troops are the elite of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Jin people. They can survive in the severe cold. How can they be weak? These people are in their prime, and you have also come out of the army. Do you think these people are really willing to stay in their own land and be good citizens? ?¡±
Wu Wu didn¡¯t answer, but shook his head.
I continued: "In this case, there are only three ways to arrange them. One is to break them up and organize them into the major legions. However, there are many problems with this. Now the equipment and tactics of the major legions have been different from theirs. Completely different. Not to mention whether they can adapt, but even if they adapt, how much combat power can they exert? What's more, the current recruits are all trained in training camps. Regardless of the tactics, ideals, and habits, they are all unique to me, the Song Dynasty. , it is precisely to adapt to the new tactics of the Song Dynasty. Some veterans of the major legions are inferior to them, let alone them? Forming an army by themselves will lay a huge hidden danger for our Song Dynasty. We cannot do it for Of.
Since then. Only by classifying them as civilian households and allowing them to settle down in the Song Dynasty. But there are many things wrong with this matter. Not to mention the resettlement costs, even if I am inclined to send them to Lintao, these people are different from ordinary refugees. If they are incited, it is hard to say what will happen. As for the third item"
I stopped talking and looked at Wu Wu. Seeing his sad face, I knew that he had understood that since ancient times, in fact, since ancient times, such a large number of troops who cannot be trusted to surrender have mostly been trapped and killed. It's not that those people don't know how valuable manpower is, but that such a surrender is often a destabilizing factor in the country. It not only consumes food, but also requires additional people to look after it. It is better to kill them all.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of all the major legions, the Fire Phoenix Legion is the only one that can really accept them. Now only the Fire Phoenix Legion and the Storm Legion have not undergone a comprehensive change of equipment. Only with the Fire Phoenix Legion can these surrendered troops be most effective.
If these are all superficial reasons, the most important thing is that neither the military nor I can trust the loyalty of these people. They were different from the Jin and Han armies who had surrendered before. They recognized the Jin Kingdom far more than the Song Kingdom. If it weren't for the special circumstances this time and Caiyun's reputation, they would have been able to surrender. Let them come to Jiankang and lose Caiyun's persuasion. If something goes wrong, no matter whether it is resolved or not, the loss will not be small.
Wu Wuhui¡¯s strong request to send these people to Jiankang has only one fundamental purpose, which is to weaken Caiyun¡¯s strength. Perhaps in his view, no matter how great the danger is, it is not as big a threat as Caiyun¡¯s self-respecting troops.
"Even so, isn't Your Majesty afraid that they will cause any problems with the Fire Phoenix Legion?" Wu Wu seemed a little worried.
"No." I thoughtWithout thinking, he said directly, "Because Caiyun is their general."
Wu Wu was a little puzzled, as if he didn¡¯t understand why I had so much confidence in Caiyun. He was silent for a moment, but still smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty has so much trust in Princess Caiyun, what else can I say?"
"Actually, things can't be seen that way." I don't want to see this confidant so lonely. After all, he stood up and asked to restrain Caiyun after a painful struggle. I can't let him feel that what he is doing is meaningless.
"You did a very good job this time. Caiyun is the commander-in-chief of the legion. She has the power to seize opportunities and launch military operations. You are in charge of the military department and have the responsibility to measure the overall situation and restrict the legion. You have done nothing wrong. What makes me most satisfied is that you are in charge of the military. I'm glad that you didn't show favoritism to Caiyun just because Caiyun recommended me, which makes me feel relieved."
I stood up and patted Wu Wu appreciatively, without concealing my happiness at all.
Wu Wu's originally slightly depressed face instantly became much better, and his whole spirit changed. He looked at me and sincerely praised: "Your Majesty is really broad-minded. Since ancient times, emperors have been afraid of having too many troops under their command, but Your Majesty, He is doing the opposite, which really puts me to shame."
His praise made me smile, and said with some emotion: "Actually, I also learned from one person. A person's mind determines the distance of his career. What's more, if he is a wolf, he must let it go. Biting is an eagle. Let it fly. Forcibly restraining them will turn the wolf into a dog and the eagle into a chicken. This is what a stupid man does."
"I wonder who this person is who can be so admired by His Majesty?"
"His name is Temujin, also known as Genghis Khan."
Wu Wu was stunned for a moment, and then said subconsciously: "That Mongolian chief? His Majesty said he was so wise?"
"It's wiser than what I said." I thought of the mistake. Genghis Khan, whom he had never met, sighed slightly in his heart, "No matter how he is evaluated, he is indeed a well-deserved Mongolian hero. Because of him. Originally a small grassland tribe, he finally ascended to the stage of world trends. He has dominated the direction of history. Such achievements are worthy of our generation to follow."
Wu Wu had a hint of disapproval on his face, but he was smart enough not to refute, and just looked at me quietly.
His expression didn¡¯t surprise me. After all, he didn¡¯t know how powerful Genghis Khan was.
"Since His Majesty has already made a plan, I should obey it. But now there are many changes in the Kingdom of Jin. I don't know how to deal with it?"
"How many changes are there?" I snorted coldly, "It's just right if there is any change, I'm afraid he won't. There is no need to worry about this matter. Since Wanyan Shouxu is unwilling to be lonely, I will give him a little more courage. In the name of the military department, you will follow this. Let the garrison troops near the border exercise restraint and be patient when provoking the Jin people. Do not take the initiative to provoke. If there is any violation, you will be severely punished!"
Wu Wu thought for a while and smiled: "Exactly, exactly. How can I show my strength if I don't make it crazy."
I also laughed, this Wu Wu. Hearing the sound and understanding the meaning is indeed extraordinary.
Then he talked about some other questions. Wu Wu was like removing a big burden and his face left easily.
I also touched my hair and remembered that Caiyun was still in the harem chatting with Zier and the others after their farewell, so I wanted to talk to Caiyun again.
Caiyun came back this time and brought more than 200,000 war horses. Although many of them were young ponies, these horses were all good stallions from the Mongolian pastures in the northeast. They were of great help to the Song Ranch and could be said to have completely transformed them. . And my support for its plan is only some ordinary equipment, at most some simple firearms, not even weapons such as artillery. It is really a small expenditure and a huge gain.
??Besides, no matter what Caiyun does in Shandong, as long as Shandong is not lost, the impact on the Song Dynasty will be minimal. Even if the entire Fire Phoenix Army is destroyed, it will not damage the fundamental vitality of the Song Dynasty. What's more, given the current situation, with Caiyun's ability, I'm afraid he might actually give me a big surprise. However, the ultimate pursuit of war is always political results, and military results are secondary.
How can we use this military operation to obtain the greatest political benefits? Thinking of this, I stopped slightly.
While thinking about it, there was a sound of hurried footsteps coming from behind, approaching from far away. The sound was already heard before anyone arrived: "Your Majesty, Wanyan Yunhua, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, wishes to see you."
Wanyan Yunhua?
My thoughts suddenly became clear, yes, why did I forget her.
"Please invite Princess Wanyan to the Royal Garden."
Leaving these words behind, I called Zi Xuan and others and headed to the Royal Garden.
Now is the season when spring is bright and flowers are in full bloom, and the Imperial Garden is ablaze with colors and flowers. Warm red, gorgeous and delicate yellow, noble and elegant purple,It¡¯s really diverse and colorful. Walking through a rockery, there are thousands of waterfalls above, with the sound of gurgling water and splashing layers of mist. When the sun shines, streaks of colorful clouds appear faintly, peaceful and peaceful, reflecting the spring scenery of the garden.
Birds are chirping, bees and butterflies are buzzing, and pieces of fragrance are entering the nose and moisturizing the organs. As soon as I walk by, I feel refreshed and happy. There is an inexplicable joy in my heart, which makes people excited and comfortable.
I found a place with a better view of the scenery. After I sat down, I had someone bring me tea and cakes, and I looked at the beautiful scenery around me leisurely. It wasn¡¯t until Zi Xuan reminded me that I reluctantly took my eyes back and looked at the money. The perfect clouds and flowers come.
Since we parted ways in Luzhou Prefecture, although I know she has been in Jiankang, I have never had time to see her. This is the first time we have met after returning to Jiankang.
Maybe I am too nostalgic. Every time I see Wanyan Yunhua, I always think of those days when I was struggling for survival. At that time, the Jin Kingdom was powerful, but I was in trouble internally and externally. Especially Wanyan Yunhua's methods left a deep impression on me. Strong impression.
It¡¯s just that as time goes by, the subject and the guest shift. After Jin is weak and Song is strong, the strong impression Wanyan Yunhua left on me gradually dissipates, replaced by a kind of perseverance and concession. The last time we met in Luzhou, it made me feel Wanyan Yunhua even more It's very soft and gives me a brand new feeling. I can never find that feeling again.
I don¡¯t know if I am too strong or she is too weak. Today's Wanyan Yunhua, I don't feel like I'm a match at all. Instead, I feel like she is a very interesting confidant.
Although I know this feeling makes no sense, I do think so.
The Wanyan Yunhua under my gaze seems to be different from Luzhou. She has a tall figure, straight and proud, and her beautiful face, although not beautiful, has a unique charm and is very attractive. A well-tailored dress fully reveals her beautiful figure, full of strength and beauty, showing a woman's alternative masculinity. It's just that her eyes were red and tired, but in my eyes, it felt like there was a kind of determination and perseverance in them, as if she had made some important decision.
This made me feel a little unusual, and I couldn't help but be curious about this meeting.
I was in a very good mood at the moment, so of course I didn¡¯t mind showing more of my manly demeanor. I stood up and smiled as she approached.
"The flowers in this imperial garden are in full bloom and are extremely beautiful. Your Majesty is really in a good mood." Wanyan Yunhua first smiled at me, then saluted and said, "Wanyan Yunhua has met your Majesty."
"You're welcome, Princess Wanyan!" I smiled and waved my hand, "Give me a seat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wanyan Yunhua didn't refuse, she straightened up slowly, her expression indifferent but with strange determination, she walked slowly to the round stool opposite me with small steps, and took a seat.
"Speaking of which, Princess Wanyan and I are quite destined. We have been entangled for so long. Now that I think about it, it seems like it happened yesterday." I sighed, and then changed the subject, "I didn't know that Princess Wanyan would come to me this time. , and why?"
"Without him, Yunhua is desperate and has come to seek refuge with His Majesty, hoping that His Majesty will take her into his care."
Wanyan Yunhua¡¯s faint voice echoed around, everything became quiet, and all the wind and bird songs disappeared from my ears. I stared at Wanyan Yunhua blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment. First there was a loud bang, and then a circular ring of fire, blue inside and red outside, swept away and disappeared into the night sky. A wave of air surged in all directions. Only the sound of shattering was heard. Large pieces of glass fell apart. For a moment, people were in panic. , holding his head and running away.
The chemical industry is really dangerous. Small accidents happen all the time. Large accidents like this are also frequent occurrences. If there is any poisonous gas leakage, life or death will be at stake.
