"Ah San! Listen carefully. If you want to go to the West Sea, you must remember my words first! What you have to do is not to take the lead, but to sit in the rear! The first thing you have to consider is how Let yourself and your soldiers survive as long as possible, and then think about how to hold the enemy back!" Looking at Ah San's shocked expression, I followed suit.
It is understandable that this boy is full of passion at a young age, but he is my brother and the prince of Nanle, how could I allow him to charge into battle! If you want to find someone who can take the lead as a general, where can you not find him?
"Second brotheryou want me to be a wise general?" Ah San was stunned for a while and came to his senses.
"Exactly! What did your teacher, Marquis Kunlan, do in the first place? Do you remember how the scar on his forehead came about?"
"He was injured by Daduan's assassin."
"It's good that you know! The famous general of the Marquis of Kunlan, have you heard when he went to charge into battle? But in Nanle, who can compare with him in terms of fame and merit? Han Wuju couldn't stand him in the battlefield. He had no choice but to send someone to assassinate him as a last resort. Do you dare to say that he is timid and cowardly? Leading by example is something only a reckless man would do!"
"this¡¡"
"Don't do this or that! Ah San, the son of a rich man cannot sit down in court. As a general of an army, the most important thing is not to fight to the death, but to strategize. When I gave you that book, I just wanted you to become a handsome man who can win thousands of miles. , instead of asking you to be a brave general who can conquer the three armies! If you want wisdom and courage, what do you ask others to do?"
"ah?"
"Hey! What I mean is that the generals who charge into battle must be promoted from below! In this way, the officers and soldiers under you will have something to look forward to. Don't always think that one person is both civil and military, otherwise you will have everything. , who is still messing around with you"
""
"Do you understand what I said?"
"Understood!"
"Well, since you are going to the West Sea, I will naturally tell my father, but you have to remember that this matter must be done in secret, and no news can be leaked."
"This is natural!"
"Well then I will give you an idea. Tomorrow, King Wei of Daduan will go to see his father to discuss the affairs of Liulan Island. Then you can break into Tianxin Palace and scold him"
"King Wei? King Wei is in Nanle?"
"Don't interrupt! When the time comes, you go to Tianxin Palace and yell at King Wei in front of your father, saying that Daduan has no good intentions. Then your father will definitely be furious, but you can't back down. It's best I¡¯ll scold my father too, scold him as a coward, whatever he wants"
¡°You¡¯re scolding your father as well?¡±
"Hehe! Don't worry, the second brother is not trying to harm you! I will explain the cause and effect of the matter to my father at that time, and then I will find a public place to play a show with my father, pretending to suggest that he send you to the west coast. Go, when the time comes, your father will grant you the title of King of the West Sea, and you can do whatever you want"
"I understand! In this case, my leaving Yuezhou will definitely not arouse Daduan's suspicion, and the conflict between my second brother and I will become even more intensified in the eyes of outsiders."
"That's what I mean! Since you had the upper hand when I was under house arrest a while ago, it's my turn to show up this time to show you some color, so tomorrow you go to make a scene in front of King Wei, and then I will take the opportunity If you step on you in the court, even the most suspicious people will not suspect it. When the time comes, you will be crowned king and go to the West Sea. No matter how much you do, they will not think that it is to deal with Daduan."
"Okay! Then tomorrow I will go scold the King Wei! Hehe, since I can't do anything yet, I might as well scold this big-headed thief for fun"
"Remember to scold Father."
""
"By the way, you will definitely need to rebuild the ship when you arrive in the West Sea. I will give you some blueprints of ships suitable for sea navigation. Then you and Xingjian will study it carefully to see if it can be used"
¡°Second brother, can you still draw shipbuilding blueprints?¡±
"Hehe! It's not just a boat, there's something better."
"what's that?"
"The secret must not be revealed."
""
"Okay! Let's settle things like this for now. You go back early and don't attract anyone's attention."
"Alas Second brother, you haven't told me about your time in Beimu yet! That Princess Qinxing, the Flower of the Grassland, and the current Goddess Muwang, does she really have that intention with you?"
"What do you mean?"
"That's what it means"
"Hehe! Do you really want to know?"
"certainly!"
"Then I'll tell you! Qinxing will be your sister-in-law from now on, and Beimu and Nanle will be the same family!"
"real?"
"Will brother lie to you?"
"But Princess Qinxing is now the Shenmu King, and she is far away in Beimu, so you"
"Hey, so, my happiness depends on you!"
"Second brother, please don't joke with me"
"I'm not kidding! Whether I can see Qinxing again in the future, I can only rely on your navy! Once the war with Daduan starts, there will be absolutely no land connection, so you must live well, don't If you want to go out to sea and charge into battle, you should first practice the sneak attack and escape abilities of the newly formed navy. In the future, I might have to rely on your sea ships to sneak to Beimu!"
"I understand¡¡"
¡¡
The next day, at noon.
Xiaoliu was still the same, hurriedly ran to the yard to report the news to me - it was said that in the morning, when the father of the country, Prince Li and others had a secret meeting with King Wei in the Tianxin Palace, this boy Asan rumbled in After entering, he not only scolded King Wei, but also scolded his father.
¡°Probably because he was afraid that he would not be strong enough to achieve his intended goal, Ah San worked hard this time on his performance.
First, he criticized King Wei in person for being ill-intentioned, accusing Daduan of bullying, and always using Nan Le as his ally as a purse, without ever offering any reciprocal reward; second, he wanted to lure a wolf into the house, seek skin from a tiger, be short-sighted, etc. Various adjectives related to animals were applied to Dad
Dad, who was not sure why, saw that Ah San was making a big fuss on such an occasion, blatantly destroying the harmony between the two countries and promoting "militarism", and he was furious on the spot!
Although he knew in his heart that Ah San had a good intention, in order to take care of King Wei's feelings and save the face of the great country, the father still ordered the guards to arrest Ah San angrily, drag him outside the palace and give him a spanking!
It is said that it took a full twenty rolls
After learning about this situation, I laughed heartlessly to myself at Ah San¡¯s lack of heat, and immediately packed up my instruments and ran to Tianxin Hall.
As expected, after the secret conversation with King Wei ended on bad terms, my father was losing his temper in the study room, and the queen's mother, who had rushed over, was there to comfort him.
Without any detours, after entering the door and saluting, I immediately told everyone what we had discussed with Ah San last night.
"You brat! According to you, this was all your idea?" Dad immediately started swearing after hearing what I said.
But as he continued to scold, the anger on his face suddenly disappeared.
"Haha, don't be surprised, father, this is also for a big plan." I explained with a dry smile.
"So you just messed with Hou Yun to fool me? Why didn't you tell me your plan in advance?" Dad pretended to be dissatisfied and stared at me, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"The child is afraid that his father and the third brother will know the plan at the same time, and then the performance will not be the same. If the King Wei sees the clues, it will be troublesome."
"Oh, Yin'er, you are an elder brother. Isn't this slap from Yun'er in vain?" Seeing that I was acting on my own, the Queen also expressed her dissatisfaction and glared at me angrily.
"It's not in vain! Only in this way will King Wei believe it! A few days later, the father issued an edict to grant the third brother the title of king, and then drove him to the fiefdom on the west coast. Not only everyone in the world will feel that the third brother is He was demoted from the capital, and with King Wei's personal witness, even Da Duan will not be suspicious!" I quickly explained.
"Hou Yin, although your idea is good, is it still too late to go to the West China Sea to build a navy?" He looked at me with bright eyes for a while, and my father was a little worried.
"Father, don't worry! The third brother's mission is not to destroy the navy in Daduan, but to delay it. Therefore, I have already prepared the blueprints of new fast sea-going ships. When the time comes, I will give them to the shipping companies in Xihai and Sanjiangkou and Shuanghe Town. The naval army is dispersed, which can not only deceive others, but also quickly form an army. In addition, this time the third brother went to the West Sea with a title, which will be his territory in the future, and the local troops must follow his lead, so Whether it is recruiting personnel from local troops or sailors from the Western Sea, it is not difficult to prepare a naval force that can go to sea."
"But can this naval force formed just before the battle be able to fight?"
"Hehe! My father is overly concerned. Naturally, it is impossible for the newly built navy to charge into battle! But we had no intention of letting this navy engage in head-on combat with Daduan. The goal of my discussion with my third brother is to let the newly built navy's clippers share a share of the battle. Several waves, constantly harassing the troop transport ships in Daduan. If their escort warships come back for reinforcements, then escape quickly, likeIf the warships are slow to support, then use ramming horns and kerosene to attack their transport ships. In this way, Daduan's navy will inevitably be trapped at sea and unable to move! As long as their cavalry cannot land quickly, I will have a chance to stop them. "I explained with a smile.
"It makes sense! But Yin'er, tell me honestly, did you have any selfish motives for asking Hou Yun to do this this time?" Dad nodded after listening to the analysis, and suddenly looked at me with a strange expression and asked.
His meaning is very clear, that is, the plan I mentioned to demote Asan from Yuezhou and go to Xihai to become the king is really beneficial to me, the prince!
"Father Mingjian! My child has absolutely no selfish intentions! I originally wanted to leave this matter to Jun Dushan and Jun Xingjian and his son in Shuanghe Town, but my third brother suddenly came to visit last night and offered to leave the matter to him. That¡¯s why I came up with this plan to hide the truth, and it just happened to deceive Daduan" I frowned and explained innocently.
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved! It's rare for you brothers to be of one mind, which really comforts me!" Dad looked at me with a smile and nodded with satisfaction.
Indeed, it is a reassuring and joyful thing for any emperor to see that his children are united with the outside world, unlike princes from other countries who are fighting for their heirs.
After chatting with my father and mother for a while, I said goodbye and returned to Yiyu Palace, and started to order my men to pack up my things, because at my request, my father had allowed me to move to the Prince's Mansion early!
The reason why I am so anxious is because the "good things" I have configured for Ah San on the warship must be made and tested as soon as possible
