Chapter 45 The King of Liaodong
Digesting and disposing of up to 60,000 captives is undoubtedly a very tedious matter. But fortunately, Feng Ye still has the identity of the Nine Emperor Princes, the King of Dongning County. Even if it falls out with the imperial court, it is an internal contradiction within the royal family. These surrenders were not so difficult to accept.
After discussing with Li Wei, the county commander, Feng Ye decided to select 5,000 Jingzhuang from them for the purpose of defending the city, and gave them the fertile land next to Dongningwei, 50 mu per person, as well as cattle and other materials. Just this hand collected the hearts of these 5,000 soldiers.
Fifty acres of fertile land is already a goal that many people have been striving for all their lives. None of these people expected that their goal in life would be achieved through a defeat. What's more, the king of Dongning County also gave the ploughing cattle.
With these things tied to their hearts, let alone running away, they are afraid of driving them away with a stick, and they will not go. And it is rumored that if you perform well, the prince will also give a daughter-in-law. Those who have made meritorious contributions are selected first. Immediately, the hearts of all the soldiers were mobilized. On weekdays, I was active in training.
All the other captives were disarmed and returned to the field. Now that the autumn harvest has passed, these soldiers have begun to reclaim the land and build houses. Feng Ye promised these people that the reclaimed land could be divided into twenty acres of land, and they were allowed to exchange grain for cattle.
Just when the whole of Dongning was cheering for the victory of this war. There was a gloomy and bleak scene in the court. Liaodong Town was originally lost due to the war with the Donghu people.
Now another battle has lost 100,000 troops, and the entire Liaodong Town is completely empty, and the imperial court has no troops to send in Liaodong Town. At this time, the Hu people, who had just negotiated peace, made a comeback again after learning the news of the emptiness of Liaodong Town.
What does it mean to steal chickens without eating rice? That's it. In the early dynasties, the ministers were at a loss in the face of the emperor's questions, and they all looked down at their toes, and none of them made a sound. For fear of being scapegoated by the angry emperor.
Wang Wenbin, the secretary of the ministry, came out of the column and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, please send Princess Anyang and relatives to retreat from Donghu." "Wang Wenbin, the secretary of the ministry, is the prince's own uncle and the most powerful supporter behind the prince.
"The old minister does not agree, the ambition of the East Jackal, just negotiated peace with our court, and then Koubian again, it can be seen that he is a man of his word and untrustworthy, how can he be a princess and can withdraw the army? If the other party does not withdraw the army, then what is the face of the court?"
The Ministry of Rites protested loudly. This is the person of the third prince, as long as it is proposed by the prince's person, he will oppose it all. It's the kind of opposition for the sake of opposition, and it's not the right thing for people.
"Father, the son thinks that Princess Anyang and her relatives are two tigers competing for food. The prince bowed and said.
"Oh, tell me!" said the Emperor, looking at the prince with a smirk.
The crown prince said with a smug smile on his face: "Father, as we all know, the Nine Emperor Brothers have never been close to anyone since they were young, only Anyang and the Nine Emperor Brothers are compatriots of the same mother, and they have a very close relationship.
As long as Princess Anyang is sent to Donghu to make peace and make a big publicity, with the temper of the Nine Emperor Brothers, she will definitely do her best to protect Anyang, and will not let Anyang and Donghu make peace. In addition, Donghu originally had a grudge against the Nine Emperor Brothers, and the two sides would definitely fight.
Isn't this just a competition between the two tigers? No matter who wins or loses, there will be no harm to the imperial court. At this time, the imperial court can calmly transfer troops, and when they lose both sides, they will send troops and reap the benefits of the fishermen. ”
The prince's remarks attracted many courtiers to nod and praise, but only the emperor had a cold face, picked up the piece on the table and threw it at the prince. "Bastard, you've disappointed me so much. No matter how Xiao Jiu says it, he is also your younger brother, and Anyang is also your own sister, do you still have a little bit of brother's tolerance and love for your younger brothers and sisters?"
The prince was depressed in his heart, but he didn't dare to fight back, but he was secretly angry in his heart: "It was not your will to arrest the king of Dongning County and enter Beijing to ask for guilt, and at that time, I didn't see you have your father's love." ”
"The decree was passed on, the chief military officer of Liaodong Town provoked the relationship between the father and son of the Heavenly Family, slandered the king of Dongning County for colluding with Donghu, the evidence was conclusive, and he was dismissed and investigated.
Passed on the decree, Xiao Guiren is virtuous and virtuous, and has worked hard for me to have children and daughters, and will be promoted to Concubine Xiao from now on.
According to the decree, Feng Ye, the king of Dongning County, led an army of 3,000 on the occasion of the invasion of Donghu and broke the 30,000 army of Donghu. Defend against the Donghu invasion. ”
"Your Majesty," the ministers shouted.
For the emperor, no matter how great Feng Ye's power is, it is also his son, and he is not young, so it is not a big problem which son to pass the throne to. Why bother to meet Feng Ye, a son with outstanding military talents? If he is taken advantage of by foreign enemies, wouldn't it be a loss for the country?
When the eunuch Xia Gonggong hurried to Dongning, Feng Ye was also confused by the emperor's holy decrees, and secretly said in his heart: "In the end, it is the emperor, this level is high." The mistakes are all below, and if the emperor makes a mistake, he must have been deceived by the traitorous ministers. ”
The county commander Li Wei and Xiao Dezi were excited with tears, and the original worries and uneasiness were swept away, and the whole person was instantly excited. This is the rhythm of changing from a thief to a successful minister all at once!
"Your Majesty, the candle shines thousands of miles, and you can see everything. It's really the Ming Jun of the world, Rao Shunyu soup is nothing more than that!" Li Wei said with a respectful salute. In this era, imperial power is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Xiao Dezi also wiped his tears and said happily: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has finally seen your grievances, and you have finally been wronged." Woooooooo
Xue Baochai also congratulated Feng Ye with a smile: "Congratulations to the husband for keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon, and being promoted to the king of Liaodong." Command the town of Liaodong. ”
The eunuch Xia Gongcheng told everyone the story of the Jinluan Palace, how Wang Wenbin, the secretary of the ministry, came up with the idea, and what the prince had the idea. How wise and martial the emperor was in the end.
Feng Ye still doesn't understand, what this Father-in-law Xia said, I'm afraid that the emperor told him. First, in order to let him understand the emperor's grace, the father still loves you.
Now that the emperor has taken a step back and given Feng Ye enough face, what else can Feng Ye do? Of course, he is going to send troops. And even if he doesn't want to fight, the Donghu people will not let him go if they invade again. After all, tens of thousands of Donghu people died under his hands. The two sides have long been mortal enemies.
At this moment, Donghu plundered the entire town of Liaodong, and received a large amount of compensation from the imperial court, as well as a large number of women and craftsmen. It can be said that each is rich.
