Chapter 13 The first king of the hidden dragon in the abyss
Jiangnan is already rich, with the lifting of the sea ban, countless maritime merchants have risen, and Jiangnan, which occupies the right time and place, is becoming more and more rich, which is the richest in the world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The reason why he immediately sent out invitations as soon as he arrived in Jiangnan was not because he was reckless and conceited, but because he already knew the big and small things in Jiangnan.
As Qin Mumian said, there are three strategies to deal with the major wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan, but the upper strategy is too testing of skills and heat, and the effect is too slow, so he doesn't have so much time to wait, so he chooses the relatively faster middle strategy.
Punish someone as a warning to others.
The question at hand is which chicken to kill?
Of course, Jiang Bin's careful thinking of killing people with a knife can't hide Xiao Bai's eyes, he doesn't care about any plans between Jiang Bin and the Duanmu family's father and son, but it doesn't mean that Xiao Bai is willing to be used by them as a sharp blade to kill.
Xiao Bai, whose name is Taibai, is from the Eastern Capital, and was born in the Eastern Capital, which is now the imperial capital. He has a grandfather who swept the world and single-handedly created the Great Qi Dynasty, and also has a father who is eloquent and domineering the world, his mother was born in the Xu family, the nobles of the dynasty, his maternal great-grandfather is Xu Lin, the king of Xihe County, who ranks second in Lingyan Pavilion, and his uncle is Xu Yan, who is the first of the three heroes of the Qi Dynasty.
As early as the previous dynasty, his maternal great-grandfather Xu Lin was the governor of Dazheng, and his great-grandfather Emperor Wuzu Xiao Lie was an official in the same dynasty, and the two families were definitely a good match in terms of family background.
And because his mother was the queen of the Yuan, he was the eldest son of Xiao Xuanzhi and the eldest grandson of Xiao Yu, and he was named the king of Bohai County in the year of the crown.
Among the two families, Xiao Bai's uncles and cousins are all kings, and most of the uncles and cousins inherit the title of duke, and the rest of the people are either rich or noble, both the father and the mother are so prominent, it can be said that Xiao Bai has decided since he was born that his future journey will never be ordinary, whether it is success or defeat, he will leave his name in history.
Xiao Bai also lived up to the high expectations of the two families, he was smart since he was a child, and he was among the best in the Taixue dedicated to the clan, and he was proficient in the six arts of the gentleman, and he overpowered Mu Tangzhi, who was also regarded as smart, everywhere.
When he was five years old, he was personally enlightened by Xiao Shen, the ancestor who had lived for three years, and began to practice kendo, and at the same time practiced the Xiao family's fist intent, the two exercises went hand in hand, and at the age of nine he stepped into the realm of a product, although it was not as freak as Xiao Yuanying, but it was enough to be called amazing.
Unlike Xiao Yuanying, who focuses on the path of cultivation, Xiao Bai is extremely complex, when other children are still shaking their heads and reciting books in private school, Xiao Bai has already walked into the temple of Yangshen, which is commonly known as the imperial study, and watched how his father handled national affairs, how to play with the emperor's mental skills, and how to fight wits with powerful ministers and generals.
Xiao Bai is such a proud son of heaven who makes his peers jealous and envious to resentment the injustice of the sky, the more he grows up, the more sharp he becomes, and under this sharpness is a majesty that seems to be innate, if Xiao Bai is compared to a sword, when will he be able to put the sword into the sheath, then when will he become a perfect dynasty successor.
However, Xiao Bai's method of "hiding the sword" is not to suppress it with poetry and books, but to fight poison with poison, and the sword has gone to the extreme.
This is also what Xiao Xuan meant, in his opinion, the excessive poetry and book etiquette will only completely wear out his son's innate sharpness and spirituality, he does not want to see his son become a nerd, so he ignored his wife's pleas and the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, and sent his son who had just reached the crown to the Dadu Governor's Mansion.
In the tenth year of Chengping, Xiao Bai, who had just opened the palace and opened the palace, entered the Dadu Governor's Mansion with the respect of the county king, and was appointed as the governor of the capital for the first time, and followed the Dadu Governor Wei to conquer southern Xinjiang the following year.
This was definitely a sensational event at that time, because at that time, many people regarded Xiao Xuan as the best candidate for the crown prince, and even the rebel barbarian king on the southern side of Xinjiang released his words after hearing the news, wanting to capture the future prince of Great Qi.
From the eighth year of Chengping to the fourteenth year of Chengping, there were a total of seven large and small wars in southern Xinjiang, and when Xiao Bai went to southern Xinjiang, he just caught up with the fifth war, which was also the most fierce war.
In that war, the Great Qi side was personally led by the Metropolitan Governor Wei Ban as the chief military officer, and the General Yin of Pingnan led the army, and two other governors and six commanders accompanied him, and the troops of the right army and the twelve main barracks of the Chinese army were transferred, totaling 120,000 troops.
The official system of the Great Qi continued the previous dynasty, so the so-called generals of various names were only the rank of the commanders, and the real military attachés with real power were all called the governors, and the highest official rank was the governor of the first rank, followed by the left governor of the first product and the right governor of the second grade, and then the commanders from the second rank to the two ranks.
As for the military attaché's chief military officer, like the civilian governor, he was only a temporary official position, and in case of war, he would return the general's seal to the war.
A first-grade governor, a first-rank governor, a second-grade right-hand governor, six commanders from the second-grade, plus a super-grade Bohai king, you can see how much the Great Qi court attaches importance to this battle from the official position alone.
The southern Xinjiang side is even more powerful, after the first four wars, the small tribe has been almost extinct, seventy-two villages have to abandon the previous suspicion in the formation of Wushan at the time of life and death, a total of Emperor Jiang clan as the king, with the great elder of the witch sect Zhu Jiuyin as the phase, Qiang Liang clan as the general, the mighty more than 200,000 people, and the Great Qi official army to start a decisive battle.
In this battle, not to mention the fighting methods of those unknown masters, only to talk about the fighting methods of the army, Xiao Bai, who had just reached the crown, was just a ghost immortal realm at this time, but whenever he fell into battle, he must take the lead and kill nearly a thousand enemies with a domineering sword, thus beginning to cast his prestige in the army.
In the twelfth year of Chengping, this two-year-long war came to an end, the barbarians in southern Xinjiang were defeated, the Qiangliang clan died, Zhu Jiuyin was seriously injured, and the Dijiang clan fled into the 100,000 mountains with the remnants of the army.
Since then, there have been no major wars in southern Xinjiang, and the subsequent wars have mostly been small-scale wars, which are insignificant.
After this battle, Wei Ban changed the general seal of Zhennan to stay in southern Xinjiang for the time being, and Xiao Bai was tired of the post of governor and governor, and also stayed in southern Xinjiang and led an army to clear the remnants of the rebels.
When the Emperor Taizu of the Great Qi Emperor Xiao Yu led the first southern expedition to Shuzhou, after the capture of Shuzhou, the Hao clan in Shuzhong colluded with the barbarians in southern Xinjiang to rebel, and Lin Han, the commander of the Jianmen Xingying at that time, was also ordered to lead the army into southern Xinjiang to suppress, at that time, the blood flowed into a river, the corpses were a mountain, no matter the old and young, women and children, no one was spared, Lin Han was called the Shura general.
However, unlike the current King of the Prairie Khan, Xiao Bai seems to be extremely restrained, wooing local wealthy families, and combining grace and power, and has gradually shown his scheming and skill as a monarch.
In the fourteenth year of Chengping, Xiao Bai was ordered to return to Beijing, and at this time he was already at the peak of the realm of human immortals.
After returning to Beijing, Xiao Bai no longer held a specific position, but was detached from the throne as a prince, and began to be involved in court affairs in the name of assisting in the military department.
With the military exploits and qualifications of southern Xinjiang, no one disputes this.
After achieving the ultimate in martial arts, Xiao Bai began to transfer from martial arts to literature, and in the sixteenth year of Chengping, in the name of an auxiliary government, he began to travel between several yamen, although it was not yet to the extent that the prince supervised the country, but compared with other princes, it was already a world of difference.
What's even more rare is that Xiao Bai has maintained a very sober mind and cognition all the way, he knows his position, and he does not deny his brilliant starting point, he is not conceited, he is not arrogant, and he gradually puts his sword into the sheath.
Officialdom cultivation is also practice, Xiao Bai actually broke through the shackles in one fell swoop in the past few years, and successfully set foot in the realm of earth immortals.
At the beginning of the twentieth year of Chengping, that is, the year of Xiao Bai's establishment, he was named the King of Qi, known as the Hidden Dragon, and officially took over the state of Qi, overpowering the King of Liao and the King of Yan.
At this time, he was only two steps away from reaching the top, so he became more and more cautious, not daring to show half of his arrogance.
It is precisely because of his posture that although Xiao Xuan has never praised him personally, his attitude has become more and more gentle, and this errand in Jiangnan is undoubtedly another father's paving for his son.
Of course, the premise is that Xiao Bai can do this errand well.
As a king, not only can he do thunderous things, but he should also have feminine means.
The sword does not necessarily have to be splashed with blood for five steps, but it can also be a honey-bellied sword.
This is a different way of teaching a father, and it does make for an extraordinary son.
