Chapter 976: The Imperial Court Comes
"Junyi, Gongming, Erzhan, this Chenzhou will be handed over to you, I hope the three of you will cooperate sincerely to maintain the stable and harmonious development trend of Chenzhou!"
In the port of Pyongyang City, 100,000 elite soldiers of the Black Armor Xuancai were boarding the ship one after another, and Zhang He, Xu Huang, Chen Ang and other important officials who stayed behind all came to see off Shang Ji. Looking at everyone, Shang Ji finally admonished.
"The lord's order is in our hearts, and we will never dare to live up to the lord's trust!"
Zhang He, Xu Huang, and Chen Ang said in unison.
"Well, I'm relieved to have the three of you in Chenzhou." Shang Ji first smiled and nodded, then stepped forward to look at Xu Huang.
Xu Huang hurriedly raised his chest and looked at Shang Ji without squinting.
"Gongming, you are in Huai'en City, Huai'en is relatively close to my Dragon Throat City, and the four counties under your jurisdiction are mostly in the hinterland, and the possibility of encountering war is not high, your main task is to pay close attention to training, followed by further clearing out bandits, especially the alien bandits are found to be cleared together, and there must be no softness and appeasement.
I have discussed with my brother before, and now that our army is under the jurisdiction of Pingchen and Pingchen, the scale of the existing army is slightly insufficient, and the scale of the army must be further expanded, and I hope that Komeito can provide more qualified soldiers.
In addition, now that you are also a member of the ruling side, Ben will grant you the right to form an exclusive special army of 70,000 people to help you better defend North Korea, I hope you will not let Ben down! ”
Xu Huang was stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed, he really didn't expect Shang Ji to give such a big gift before parting, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for your appreciation, you will not hesitate to break your bones for the lord!" ”
Shang Ji didn't answer, just smiled and nodded.
Then he looked at Zhang He again: "Jun Yi, you are sitting in Yongzhong City (Seoul), and the defense area is concentrated in the south of Chenzhou, so theoretically speaking, there should be no war." However, I heard that Dongying is making every effort to open up the sea route from Dongying to Chenzhou, although it has not yet achieved much effect, but it must be guarded against.
You need to pay more attention to the southern frontier region and always be on guard against the invasion of the Dongying region. In addition, JCDecaux and Xingba asked to set up a sailor home port in Chenzhou to build the second fleet of sailors. The preliminary consideration of this general has been promised, and when the time comes, we will need a lot of assistance to jointly build the Chenzhou defense line! ”
"The last general understands that he will live up to the trust of the lord!" Zhang He clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.
Shang Ji looked at Chen Ang again, and said with a smile: "Erzhan, this general has already played the imperial court, and I want you to be the assassin of Chenzhou, it must not be long before the appointment of the imperial court will come down, you are the first assassin in our Pingzhou system, you must behave well, handle the affairs of Chenzhou well, and don't let this general down!" ”
"Lord Hongen, his subordinates are unforgettable!"
Chen Ang was also a little excited, although this Chenzhou assassin is not in charge of military affairs, he can govern eight counties and 700 million people, which is definitely a high position. In the Pingzhou government affairs system, he surpassed Xun Yu in one fell swoop and became the second person after Deng Yan.
Even theoretically, his rank in Chenzhou Thorn History is higher than Deng Yan's!
Because Shang Ji was the pastor of Pingzhou, in order not to affect his authority, Pingzhou did not set up a history of assassination, and Deng Yan led the government affairs of Pingzhou as a general of Pingzhou and the commander of the expedition to the north.
However, in the imperial court, the assassin was a high-ranking official of the Zheng'er Bajing, and the rank was equivalent to Jiuqing, while the Pingzhou Beijia and the chief of the Zhengbei General's Mansion were only subordinate officials who were attached to the two official positions of Pingzhou Mu and Zhengbei General, and the rank was several levels lower than that of Chenzhou Assassin.
It's just that Shang Ji, who is the general of the expedition to the north, is strong, which has caused the power of Deng Yan, the commander of Pingzhou and the general of the expedition, to also rise.
Of course, Chen Ang has not been carried away by this good news and knows where he should be.
The people who saw them off were appeased again, and in the respectful eyes of several people, they boarded the ship of the sailor and officially evacuated Chenzhou!
The warships of the Navy Division rode the waves, and in just one day, the Navy Division arrived in Jinjin with 100,000 troops, and Deng Yan and a group of people had already come to Jinjin in advance to greet them. Lazy people listen to books
"Congratulations on the triumph of the lord!"
As soon as Shang Ji got off the boat, everyone got up and cheered.
"Hahaha, everyone, hurry up and excuse me!"
Shang Ji let out a hearty laugh and said to the people who came to greet him.
"Ji led the troops to go out for more than half a year, thanks to your support in the rear, I can sweep away Pu Wei and expand the territory for the country, half of the credit belongs to the front-line soldiers, and the other half should belong to the people of Pingzhou and you!"
"The lord praises me, I am ashamed!"
After a polite exchange, Shang Ji disembarked smoothly.
"It's hard work!"
After the others dispersed, Shang Ji looked at Deng Yan and sighed again.
"It's not hard, compared with the front-line soldiers, what is this hard work?" Deng Yan smiled and said modestly.
"Without Hongzhu sitting in the rear to dispatch supplies, I really don't know what this battle will look like!" Recalling the arduous process of the siege of Pyongyang, Shang Ji sighed.
The hardships of the battle of Pyongyang City far exceeded Shang Ji's expectations, and the consumption of various war materials was several times higher than estimated.
It can be said that Deng Yan contributed to the victory of the Korean War!
Deng Yan was still as modest as ever, waved his hand again and again in the face of Shang Ji's praise, and excused himself: "If you say a small thing, how dare you be so praised by the lord." ”
After finishing speaking, Deng Yan said again: "By the way, the lord of Cai, with the will of the imperial court, wants to commend the lord on behalf of the Son of Heaven for his contribution to the expansion of the territory. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to Cai Yong, who was embarrassed next to him.
In fact, Cai Yong arrived in Pingzhou two months ago, and the imperial court controlled by Dong Zhuo fully agreed to Shang Ji's disposal of Chenzhou, whether it was the division of counties or the appointment of officials, all according to Shang Ji's will, without any discount.
In addition, Shang Ji has the merit of destroying the country and opening up the territory, this kind of merit is second only to the merit of the founding of the country, and the gold content is quite high, and the imperial court naturally cannot but express it.
According to the rules, Shang Ji should go to Luoyang to personally present prisoners to the emperor, and the emperor would lead the princes and ministers out of the city to greet them, and then various canonizations and commendations.
It's just that under the current situation, Shang Ji will definitely not go to Luoyang alone, and he will definitely not agree to take the army to Luoyang to sacrifice Dong Zhuo, so he finally compromised and sent Cai Yong with a team of envoys to Pingzhou to announce the decree.
It's just that Shang Ji didn't return to Pingzhou for a long time, and Deng Yan and others refused to allow them to enter Chenzhou on the grounds that Chenzhou was new and the angel should not be in danger, and Cai Yong spent more than two months in Pingzhou.
Shang Ji saw Cai Yong as soon as he got off the ship, but according to Qianhuan's report, Dong Zhuo secretly made a lot of stumbling blocks in the Korean War, although it basically didn't play a role, but this kind of hostility was real.
Cai Yong is Dong Zhuo's representative, and Shang Ji naturally can't give him a good look, lest the outside world think that Shang Ji is afraid of Dong Zhuo.
Cai Yong also knows this, although he is not angry with the arrogance of the businessman, but as a well-known kind-hearted person, he is more ashamed, and at the same time has some complaints about Dong Zhuo, who arranged this task.
