Uncle Zheng has been busy all day. Originally, what he wanted to do was a one-time deal. The process was simple and rough, and he just wanted to achieve the result he wanted.
However, due to various opportunities and coincidences, the whole thing turned from the original "simple and rough" to "strategic".
This feeling is like when you originally wanted to go to the poor scholar's house in the village to ask for a two-character name for your newborn son. Who would have thought that you just opened the door and found Yao Zizhan? I fainted from hunger at your doorstep.
What used to only require a hanging bacon and a packet of small red envelopes for the poor scholar, but now it requires boiling two buckets of water for Master Yao to bathe, and at the same time cooking, one meat and two vegetables, and then another Chicken soup, and then you have to go to the countryside to buy half a bottle of wine;
Let Master Yao eat well and drink well, and wash yourself well, Master Yao will help you pick the name of the child. After picking it up, he will tell you Zhihu also tells you what the profound meaning of the name he chose is;
You don’t understand it, but you still think it’s awesome.
Later, Master Yao left a letter asking your child to go to Qian Country to find him when he becomes an adult.
The thing is, it’s the same thing. Your original intention is to name your child.
The price paid,
The only meat dish was stir-fried with bacon, the chicken was laid by one's own hens, the vegetarian dishes were grown in one's own land, and the original red seal was used to make wine. money in it.
But what was originally simple and even a little rough suddenly became much more beautiful.
The only thing required is that you make more trips back and forth.
Uncle Zheng is busy with this trip now.
Rewards are mainly in the form of money, of course, there are also things like silk, satin and silk. These things can be used as currency in this era. As for wine and meat, firstly, there is not enough time to prepare, and secondly, this It's not the right time to indulge.
The princess, dressed in rich clothes, accompanied Uncle Zheng. She first expressed condolences and rewarded the soldiers and horses in the city, and then went to the two camps in the north and south.
This scene is quite similar to the appearance of the head of state with the first lady.
The feedback received is naturally excellent.
The Marquis of Jingnan is a lofty military god, and Uncle Zheng is a more down-to-earth idol. You can clearly feel the admiration of these sergeants for him.
Furthermore, the world of Qiu Ba people is quite black and white. After all, they are people who live with their heads hanging on their waists. They like to be drunk now and want to be happy and simple. .
Uncle Zheng has always won battles, and the results are there. At the same time, this time the big guy followed Uncle Zheng into the city to put down the rebellion, and he also made a contribution. Now he has received a real reward, and he feels more surrendered. Gotta be tight.
The Marquis of Jingnan destroyed his whole family, but his prestige in the army is still unmatched. It is precisely for this reason that the ethics of the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules are very important to these soldiers who lick blood from their swords. It's imaginary. Those who can lead them to win battles and get rewards are the ones they are sincerely convinced of.
In addition, the princess is by your side, a dignified princess of a country, meeklyStanding behind Uncle Zheng, this scene was so exciting that these Qiu Ba people were so excited that they wanted to go crazy.
This is not the kind of primitive excitement, because no one dares to look at the princess with lustful eyes, and no one dares to blaspheme, not because of her status as the princess of Da Chu, but because she is Ping Ye Bo's woman.
And this kind of excitement is at the spiritual level.
Uncle Zheng is a living example.
With his own hard work, he reached the top of his life and married Bai Fumei.
Uncle Zheng also worked tirelessly to give four speeches that night.
Although each speech was short, after the speech, Xiong Liqing could see that the eyes of the soldiers below seemed to be breathing fire.
Yes, fire.
The charm of speech and language can spread the charm of personality as much as possible, infecting a large group of people around you, making their souls begin to "tremble".
In the world that Uncle Zheng was familiar with, Adolf was full of passion when he gave a speech, and the Germans known for their rigorous character raised their hands neatly.
Later, before the college entrance examination, most schools will invite some speech masters to give students a shot of chicken blood.
And here, in this era, due to the limitations of cultural communication, the people here, including these soldiers, have few channels for receiving information. The implication is that they have not experienced that kind of "chicken soup tide" ” or “Inspirational Wave”;
In the hearts of most of them, this area is actually still an undeveloped virgin land.
They are used to conquests and galloping horses to defeat the enemies in front of them, but their spiritual lives are actually poorer than ordinary people.
In this era,
Only the nobility, the so-called elite class, are qualified to receive spiritual cultural influence.
Not only in Yan State,
Qian State, Chu State, Jin State,
Even among barbarians, savages, and Shanyue, it is the same.
So, once you move them, this feeling will last for a long time, and even be engraved in the heart for a long time.
"I was originally just the leader of a small town in Beifeng County. My background was not even as good as yours. When I first entered the military camp, I was a civilian husband...
I didn't Family background,
I have no relatives or friends,
I only have a rusty knife in my hand...
I can rely on military merit to gain a title, You can do it too!
I can marry Princess Da Chu and go home to warm the Kang. You can do it too!
Have you seen this knife? >This is the sword given by Your Majesty,
Under the guidance of Your Majesty and the black dragon flag,
Follow me,
Follow me,
Uncle Ben’s today will also be your tomorrow!
Uncle Ben’s tomorrow!I believe that we will have the opportunity to go to the battlefield together in the future. When the time comes, I will work with you to exchange the heads of mountains of enemies for everyone's glory and wealth, and for everyone's glorious ancestors.
In exchange,
you,
you,
you,
and you,
you ,
We,
enemies our wives and children,
are princes and princes for generations to come!
Dayan, ten thousand victories! ! ! ”
“Dayan is victorious! ”
“Dayan is victorious! "
At this time, the group of personal guards who had been prepared would shout at this time:
"Hiraye Bo Wansheng! "
The surrounding sergeants will immediately follow suit and shout:
"Hiraye Bo Wansheng! ”
“Hiraye Bo is victorious! ”
To directly gather the morale of the army, this look is too ugly, and it really makes others look like fools, but if you base all the prerequisites on the banner of loyalty to His Majesty, then others will not
For these sergeants,
His Majesty the Emperor is too far away,
But Uncle Hirano is right in front of him
What surprised Uncle Zheng was that the two camps in the north and south treated him with more enthusiasm than the Yan army.
The underlying reason for this is. Because there are only a handful of real Yan people under the command of Pingye Bo, and Jin troops and barbarians account for more than 80%.
When Dayan took over the land of Jin, if we talk about the wealthy literati and officials in the land of Jin. If they are relatively good, then the main thing is to be on guard against these Jin soldiers and horses.
Use them and use them, but beware of the other Yan generals. , they also have Jin military camps under their command, but they are really only used as auxiliary soldiers or cannon fodder. The direct lineage is still their own Yan army headquarters. Only Uncle Zheng really likes to use foreign soldiers and treats them as equals. It can be said that He is a unique spirit among the many generals of the Yan army stationed in Jin.
………
“Haha. ”
Uncle Zheng, who was sitting in the carriage, handed the second letter in his hand to the princess who was tapping her leg.
The princess took it and glanced at it. He smiled and said:
“It’s quite sincere. ”
The two letters came from the generals of the northern and southern camps of Yingdu respectively. The letters expressed their admiration for Uncle Hirano and the hope that one day he could make achievements under Uncle Zheng.< /p>
"My husband has really gained a huge harvest this time. The two battalions in the north and south must have over 10,000 soldiers and horses. ”
The princess was very happy. She left behind her honor as a princess and followed the man in front of her to Yandi. In essence, she wanted to rely on this man to work hard to build a better life than her original one. .
So, she is really like a little daughter-in-law who manages the house. Every time there is something in the house,, will have a great sense of satisfaction.
But Uncle Zheng shook his head and said:
"It's not that simple. It's just a letter, how can it be taken seriously?"
Originally they thought Although Uncle Zheng's original intention was to give gifts to Uncle Zheng, they were all divided into two categories: one was a public reward and the other was a personal friendship.
But Uncle Zheng still refused because he was busy traveling to Beijing.
The exchange of favors is unavoidable, and Uncle Zheng’s Snow Customs is still the best in this.
Under Siniang's planning, during the New Year and festivals, those who are closer will be sent to Jingnanhou and Li Fusheng, and those who are farther away, even to the capital, will never be left behind, and will be arranged according to personal circumstances. The difference is that when giving gifts, you don’t give tacky gold and silver, but your heart.
"Can't you take it seriously?" The princess obviously couldn't understand, because yesterday, she saw with her own eyes the love those soldiers had for her husband.
"You know about the Sixth Prince's business firm, right?"
"How could I not know this? The pomp and ceremony of the Sixth Prince's wedding day directly affected the pomp and ceremony of my wedding. He also went up two levels, that is, the Fan family, isn’t he also on the Sixth Prince line?”
“Well, that’s it, everyone in the world thinks that he has eyes all over the world, as if he is everywhere. Everyone has their own hidden agenda, but this is not the case, because even if it is the Secret Service, the Silver Armored Guards, or the Phoenix Nest of Da Chu, it is impossible for them to have the power of a country behind them and the banner of orthodoxy. To the point where it seems like everything is blooming,
In the final analysis, those people who appear to be him are not actually his people.
His Majesty asked Jingnan Marquis to destroy him. Although he took over the Min family, he did not touch the Min family's secret properties, and those properties naturally went to Xiao Liuzi's name.
This is because after all, Xiao Liu also has the blood of the general Min family. But, this is just an extra head.”
“Tian Tou?”
“Yes, a small head is a businessman’s pursuit of profit. Of course, the difference between humans and animals is also there. People are fond of love, but the Min family is gone. Even if the shopkeepers are still nostalgic for the Min family, it is still unclear how much of this love will be transferred to Xiao Liuzi.
After that, Yan. The emperor only destroyed the Min family. Although he did not attack the local shopkeepers who were originally under the Min family, the knife was always hanging;
Under the force of this knife, In fact, whether they like it or not, these shopkeepers have to be loyal to Xiao Liuzi, even if it is just on the surface.
Because even if Xiao Liuzi seems to be unpopular at that time, at least he is a prince. .
Those shopkeepers are also good people, and they know that if they go to another employer or find other backers, they may be punished in the next moment.
Furthermore, Xiao Liuzi’s own intelligence is also very good, and his skills are also very powerful. Outsiders may not know it, but those real big shopkeepers should understand. Of course,This one is also a plus.
The grand wedding in Yanjing, with its grandeur, rain of money, and silk roads, caused a sensation throughout the capital and spread to other countries.
In your opinion, and in the eyes of many people, it was Xiao Liuzi who revealed all the cards in his hand to prove to the court that he was not an idle prince and that he had the strength to seize the throne.
But in fact it is not the same thing.
It is not because he has these cards that he dares to be so arrogant and almost declares that he wants to seize the legitimate son;
It's because he wants to claim heirloom, so these trump cards will become his.
Understand? ”
“I kind of understand. "
"It's actually very simple. After so many years of development, the shopkeepers of those shops have already become new Min families, which can be called princes from all over the world.
They have their own power, their own business, their own connections, their own family, and their own sphere of influence in business. Why should they find a father for themselves?
Even if you find a father in name only, how can you treat this father sincerely?
If there is no filial son at the bedside of a long-term illness, then he is still his biological father.
As for those new scholars, yes, Xiao Liuzi is their benefactor, but Dayan is not Daqian. The scholar-bureaucrats of Qian Kingdom have long used their rules to weave a world for hundreds of years. There is a dense network, and those who do not respect the teacher will not be able to survive in that circle.
But Dayan is different. These new scholars will now do things for Xiaoliuzi based on their conscience, but when they have been immersed in the officialdom for a long time, how can they continue to care about an idle prince?
Official circles are a place where one eats one’s conscience, and one eats one’s own conscience.
So,
This is the real power of Xiao Liuzi. It seems huge, but in fact it is loose, like the sand that cannot be held. "
Xiong Liqing understood and said:
"So, this is taking advantage of the situation? ”
“Yes, taking advantage of the situation, because he has made it clear that he wants to seize the direct descendant, and with the temptation of following the dragon in front of him, those who follow him will stand closer to him. Only then will it evolve into a force represented by him.
If Xiaoliuzi didn’t show his intention to seize the direct descendant and suppressed the East Palace, you can see if the Fan family will help me to seize you.
So, in Dayan and Jin, it seems that there are people from Xiaoliuzi everywhere, but in fact they are not his people. Buying and selling people, talking about being harmonious to make money, talking about losing money today for tomorrow. Earning, they are not like those in Guizhou who work for a day and wait for a day's money to feed their wives and children at home.
Look at these two letters, they seem to indicate that you want to follow me, but that is just a meaning, no one can live in a dream.
If one day I win a great victory and force Yingdu with a large army, they may take advantage of the situation and defect to me. But if one day I fall into despair, they will often attack me more ruthlessly than others. Beat me up. ”
"Brother Huang once said that it is better to take advantage of a situation than to make it happen."
There were so many nobles in Chu that the Chu State had to discuss with those nobles anything they wanted to do.
Essentially speaking, what the regent did in Chu was also a matter of centralization of power, but it was not as extreme as what Emperor Yan had done.
Uncle Zheng nodded and said:
"So, this is what I do in Xueguan. The soldiers and people there eat my food and drink my food. I give them clothes and clothes, I give their children school, and I treat their elderly people;
They have to rely on me to survive, and they live better than others, so they cannot lose Me, because I am everything to them.
Taking advantage of the situation may seem lively, but it will not last long. ”
“So, sir, you want to use me?”< /p>
"I'm just taking advantage of your momentum, but I'm not taking advantage of it just to show off. I want to take the opportunity to get something practical and make our family's foundation stronger."
p>The conversation in the carriage continued.
Outside the carriage,
A guard came back on horseback and reported the situation to Gao Yi. Gao Yi immediately rode up to the carriage.
"Uncle."
Zheng Fan opened the car curtain.
"The imperial envoy took another route."
Zheng Fan nodded and lowered the curtain.
After rewarding the three armies last night, Uncle Zheng got up early this morning and left Yingdu with his guards. He did not wait for Zhang Yuanshan and Feng Guan, and in order to prevent them from catching up, he deliberately Misled, now the two groups of people are no longer on the same track.
Xiong Liqing leaned on Uncle Zheng's shoulder and asked curiously:
"Mr. sir, why don't you go with them?"
"Because I want to It’s a bit of a detour to go somewhere, and it’s a bit inconvenient for them to be here.”
“Where are you going?”
From Litian City. The shortest road from Yingdu to Yanjing is impossible to pass through Litian City, because Litian City is at the southern end of the route. If you go there on purpose, you will have to go around half an ellipse.
Uncle Zheng reached out, took out an iron box from his arms, took out a cigarette, flicked it gently on the back of his hand, and said slowly:
"This is what it is." I plan to go, even if there is no such thing as Yingdu, I will go. And, in fact, in the original plan, the effect of Yingdu is far inferior to that there, but there are some accidents, resulting in Things have just changed.
But I still have to go to that place. ”
Xiong Liqing knows what Zheng Fan wants to do. She could read and think about what she wanted to express to the court. At the same time, Zheng Fan had even told her the identity of the Savage King, so he would not hide these things from her.
But what puzzles Xiong Liqing is that if we talk about Yingdu, onlyIt was done casually but had a greater effect. What was the part that was originally included in the plan and was really used to achieve the goal?
It made the court feel afraid, and made the court dare not continue to consolidate the military power of local military leaders, and it would not really show off.
"What are you going to do?"
Uncle Zheng's eyes suddenly darkened,
he said:
"Go and give some People know,
Du Juan’s death,
and there are still people who haven’t forgotten it.”
