Chapter 998: The Edict Crowns the King

Solving the problems of food, clothing, and housing is something that needs to be solved urgently and must be solved. For these, Yang Chendong personally put forward various proposals and experiences, and with the full support of Shicheng, the two cities of Shajing and Jingzhou are also constantly changing.

It is not enough for a city to have strong walls, it also needs the existence of a strong army, so as to form an effective deterrent force and avoid being invaded and attacked by others. After Yang Chendong thought about it, he handed over the matter of guarding the two cities to the New Second Army.

In the battle with Warat out of the city, the performance of the new second army was still good. Although it is not as strong as the New First Army, it is at least much stronger than the Mobei Division and the Mobei Tribes Alliance, which have lost their defensive lines. Therefore, Yang Chendong was still relieved to hand over the safety of the south of Shicheng to the New Second Army.

The large army surrounding Sanbula Chuan City had not yet withdrawn, but the corresponding commanding officers had already arrived at Shajing City and held a meeting in the newly built Yang Mansion here. At the meeting, Yang Chendong personally awarded the Major General Gold Star to Tian Hu, the commander of the New Second Army and the commander of the First Division of the World Cavalry, which attracted congratulations from everyone and bursts of applause.

Listening to the congratulatory applause in his ears, looking at the colonel-level officers who participated in the meeting, Yang Chendong stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then encouraged, comforted and said in a somewhat encouraging tone: "Today is the promotion of Shebei and Tian Hu to the rank of major general, but there will be more generals in the future." In the future, we will form a new third army, a new fourth army, or even more, as long as you have the strength and ability, then don't be afraid of no chance to perform. ”

In the battle to defend the first city, Yang Chendong saw his own shortcomings. That is, when facing a strong enemy, he still has too few soldiers at his disposal. If you want to say that the background is too poor, it has only been a few years, and it is the elite line that is being pursued. As Shicheng has completely gained a firm foothold on the grassland, Yang Chendong's requirements for elite cavalry are also increasing, from less and more refined to more and more refined now.

After the meeting, Yang Chendong left his farewell and focused on the situation on the grassland. "Farewell, it's impossible for the Northern Ming Army to surround it for too long, maybe it won't be long before the young master and I have to leave here for a while, do you know what to do?"

Facing this interview, he nodded heavily and said: "Sixth Young Master, thank you for entrusting me with such a heavy responsibility, I will definitely not disappoint your high expectations, and the next things have also been considered, mainly three points, and please ask the Sixth Young Master to assist me." ”

"Tell me about it." Seeing that he had already prepared, Yang Chendong nodded with satisfaction, the reason why he was so quickly promoted to this person's position was because of his overall view. Now it seems that he did not disappoint himself along the way.

The first point is to stabilize Shajing City and Jingzhou City while building here, so that they will not only become the southern barrier of the First City, but also make this a new base for the Five-Star Army, and become the forefront and strongest fortress in the event of an attack to the south.

The second point is how to get along with the Northern Ming Army. That is, it is not too far and not too close, that is, it will not do it and make the other party jealous.

The third point is the development of commerce and handicrafts. Farewell

He said that he had seen some weaving factories built in the first city, and he thought that it was entirely possible to move some of them to the two cities of Shajing to continue their development, and at the same time to take advantage of the natural advantages of this place to raise a large number of horses and sheep, in a word, as soon as possible self-sufficiency.

"Good." After listening to her speech, Yang Chendong gave a lot of encouragement, and then said: "This time, I will move the people of the two cities to Shicheng and Mobei City, and the total of 100,000 people in the two cities is completely credible, they will be very obedient, which is more conducive to your implementation of your own plan, I hope that the next time I come, I can see a different appearance of the two cities, no problem." ”

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Don't take the initiative to stand up and answer.

"Very well, then you can do what you want in your heart. What do you need, your old superiors, the commander of the new First Army, Hu Mang, the logistics division commander Yang Si, and the city lord of the first city, Yu Mian, will do their best to support you. Patting Shebei on the shoulder, Yang Chendong gave high hopes.

After leaving, Hu Mang walked into the main tent and sat opposite Yang Chendong. In the face of this scholar who has followed him for many years, Yang Chendong has always given great trust, and many important things will be handed over to this person to do. This time was no exception, and he entrusted him with the preparation of the New Third Army.

"Humang, the army must first choose the generals, and it is very important for the commanders of the new three armies to plan who they are." There is nothing polite, Yang Chendong said straight to the point.

"Young Master, what do you think of Su He?" Hu Mang also came prepared, knowing that the reason why he started the battle to defend the city this time, including that the young master had to send a wolf's tooth special operations team to take Shi Heng hostage, was all because of the lack of troops, so he also made preparations to support the expansion of the army in his heart, and now as soon as he asked, he named the name of Su He, the commander of the Tatar division.

Hu Mang's answer made Yang Chendong very happy. To say that the combat power of the new First Army is strong, the Tatar division has played a very important role, as the commander of the army Hu Mang could not be ignorant of this, but he still resolutely pushed the main general out, just from this point of view, the overall situation has been established and matured.

"Okay, yes, Humang, you have finally grown up, and the young master can rest assured, then that's it, the commander of the New Third Army is tentatively appointed by Su Helai, you can tell him that when the New Third Army is completed and has enough combat power, I will personally award him the rank of major general." Well, after this battle, the New First Army and the New Second Army also have many losses, and they can be considered to be re-replenished, as for the New First Army, after there is no Tatar Division, you can join other divisions, in short, the combat effectiveness cannot be weakened, all this will be seen when I come to the steppe next time, young master. ”

"Please rest assured, young master." Hu Mang's gaze was firm, and his voice replied forcefully. In the battle with Wara, the five-star army had many losses, especially the cavalry charge under the heavy rain, which increased the difficulty of the impact, when the whole body was soaked, each swing of a knife had to use more strength than usual, which increased the difficulty of the battle, the natural battle losses in this battle were greater than usual, fortunately, there were a lot of prisoners, and over time, these people were transformed to join the five-star army, and it was not a small force.

At the time of pulling down, Yang Chendong continued to meet with the officers under him, cheering them up, and promising a high position at the same time

It also puts a lot of pressure on them. In a word, the cavalry will continue to develop and develop vigorously, and he hopes to see the good performance of these officers, and hopes that they can all become real generals in the future, just like Shebei and Tian Hu.

Time passed, the besieging side did not move, the besieged side did not move, and everyone seemed to be waiting for something as if they had discussed it. Half a month later, there was finally news that Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Northern Ming Dynasty told the world that in view of the loyalty and courage of Yang Chendong, he was loyal and brave, and this time he drove away the cavalry alliance of Wara and Yili together with the Northern Ming Army.

As soon as the edict came out, the entire Northern Ming Jingshi Imperial Court said anything, and some old ministers who had retired for many years sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, or directly went to the book, or several people united together to jointly see the emperor, etc., in short, it is a sentence, loyalty and public heart have heresy, and you can't be crowned king at will.

Not only that, some of the kings of the Zhu family have also made a comeback, to the effect that the king with a different surname must be cautious, to prevent the emperor from being deceived by the villain, the territory of the loyal and courageous prince is already very large, if there is a legitimate name, how to curb Yunyun in the future.

The twists and turns in front of Zhu Qiyu quickly piled up, and the reaction below was so big that he had a headache, Jin Ying on the side saw that the emperor was sad about this, so he made an idea whether to invite Xu Youzhen and Xu University to come and see if he had any countermeasures.

Since the last time Xu Youzhen said that the bank was established and it was owned by the emperor alone, and Jin Ying also got this beautiful difference, the relationship between the two quickly became warm. Now that he has the opportunity, of course, he wants to lead the way for his "good friend".

Soon he was already a young prince and a scholar, and Xu Youzhen, who was a first-class student, came to the palace hall. When asked what to do with it after the salute, Xu Youzhen asked with a confident look, "Your Majesty, the ministers dare to ask if there are some impeachment concerts in addition to opposing the matter of giving the loyal and courageous prince the king?" ”

"This, Aiqing doesn't have to pay attention to it, I know it." In order to comfort Xu Youzhen, Zhu Qiyu deliberately put on a picture that believes in you very much, and you don't need to worry.

This proves that there is, Xu Youzhen knew it in his chest, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is a very normal thing. At the end of the day, the root cause of these actions is just two words – jealousy. ”

"Jealousy?" Zhu Qiyu was a little confused after hearing this.

"Yes, it's jealousy. They were jealous that the minister had become a prince and a young master, and that he had become a scholar, so they would impeach the minister. In the same way, they are jealous that the loyal prince has been crowned king, and they will impeach him. Speaking of which, it's just a villain's mind, and it's not worth paying attention to. You are the emperor, you were originally the beauty of the sky, you can say everything when you encounter problems, why do you need to look at other people's faces and act? In the final analysis, this country is still yours, and it is naturally up to the emperor himself to decide who to promote and reuse. Then again, when the country needs money, why can't we see them jumping out and giving all kinds of opinions? This kind of only knows how to be jealous of others, and it is useless at critical times, it will only fight with words and use the pen, and it is not worth the emperor's opinion to value them. ”
