Chapter 123: The Expedition (2)
The Nine Emperor Prince Muwen suddenly walked out and said: "Father, the son is willing to lead a Beijing division to the battle, there are thousands of horsemen to take the head of the general, my Muye country is in such a big event, my royal family will also come to the battle in person, the son is willing to do his best, whether it is a striker, a deputy marshal, and the son is willing to obey the dispatch." β
The words of the Nine Emperor Princes Muwen shocked the people in the hall, what kind of excitement did this hairy boy make? You are the prince, if you are a battle-hardened general, it will be fine, but you have never been on the battlefield, in case you let the enemy take prisoner, will we still fight?
What made Emperor Dingyuan's face change greatly was, if you go on the expedition, what kind of royal family do you mention, do you plan to let the old emperor go or let you go? The eldest prince and the third prince have indeed experienced the battle formation, but what is that? The battle for the throne? The others have no experience.
In the palace, it is not possible to have experience in battle formations by conducting a few drills around Yunjing.
The words of the Nine Emperor Prince Muwen made the old emperor very embarrassed, this Dingyuan Emperor was a person who had really experienced the Great War, and of course he knew the danger and treachery of the battlefield.
Originally, it was a court meeting to select a commander, but now that the royal family has to send people, can the Nine Emperor Princes go? With the urine nature of the Nine Emperor Princes, who can command him once he arrives on the battlefield? This lord is the master who wants to do real swords and guns, what should he do if he burps? How can the boss live?
The old emperor looked at the Nine Emperor Prince Muwen, the Great Prince Mu Dynasty, and the Third Prince Mu Yuan, and finally turned his gaze to the second prince Mu Yang.
The second prince, Muyang, is the most unambitious lord, not only is his body not good, but his brain doesn't seem to be bright.
"I decided to let the second prince Muyang be the commander to guard Xiyang Pass, General Gomen and Wu Di to be the deputy marshal, and the ninth prince Muwen to be the envoy of Xiyang Pass, and he was not allowed to leave Xiyang Pass during the war, so be it. β
Emperor Dingyuan's words shocked the people in the main hall, what does this mean? Choosing a second prince of waste wood as the commander, what can he do? Gomen and Wu Di are the deputy marshals, and it is understandable that these two are real military bigwigs who have experienced the battlefield.
Xiyang Pass is known as the first pass in the west, located in the center of Xiyang County, a radius of hundreds of miles, the city wall is fifteen meters high, seven or eight meters wide, even the spirit does not want to climb up easily, the acropolis around Xiyang Pass has as many as twenty-four arches to guard the main city, this is not counting, Xiyang Pass has always been the main city of Xijiang, but also the headquarters of the Gomen general, Makino has been operating here for hundreds of years, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is impregnable, as long as the two princes do not leave Xiyang Pass, it must be foolproof, especially the Nine Emperor Prince Muwen, as long as he does not leave Xiyang Pass, he can ensure safetyγ
Why wasn't it the eldest prince Mu Chao or the third prince Mu Yuan to be the commander? Of course, the ministers remembered the coup d'Γ©tat 16 years ago, and whoever became the commander of these two would mean that he would be the future prince and the future emperor, unless Emperor Dingyuan made a decision.
But now it seems that the Dingyuan Emperor has no intention of abdicating, at least the old emperor has no intention of abdicating before the end of the war in the west.
The old emperor didn't say anything, and no one dared to mention the matter of the eldest prince and the third prince leading troops.
So is it possible for the second prince Muyang to be the prince?
It seems impossible, this waste wood is a complete waste firewood, with countless resources and cultivation qualifications, but after so many years, it is not as good as an ordinary person......
Yang Mu was the first to react and said: "The emperor is wise, there are two princes sitting in Xiyang Pass, and the two generals and soldiers will definitely be able to win the victory in the Western Regions in two ways, and they will succeed ......."
Li Meng was sleepwalking and became a generalissimo, Li Meng was immediately stunned, why is there no one to oppose the quarrel so fiercely just now?
Emperor Dingyuan: "Muyang, what are your requirements for the Western Expedition?"
"Muyang, what do you want from the Western Expedition?"
Li Meng finally reacted in sleepwalking.
"Father, there is naturally no problem for the sons to fight for the country, but the location of this Xiyang Pass is important, can you let the sons bring more soldiers and horses to ensure that the Xiyang Pass is foolproof. β
The ministers were almost happy, this prince wasted firewood and returned to wastewood, but this desire to save his life is very strong, Xiyang Pass already has more than 100,000 garrisons, even if General Gomen takes away some people, there must be at least 100,000 garrisons there, Xiyang Pass is located in the center of Xiyang County, even if there is a foreign invasion, there is enough time to escape, this second prince still seems to feel insecure.
Even those ministers are a little sympathetic to the second prince of waste wood, the eldest prince and the third prince want this position and do not hesitate to sword soldiers, now good, this second prince actually picked up such a position, the two deputy marshals obviously will not listen to him, this second prince marshal went to tourism, at most engaged in logistics, the Ministry of War has more or less understood the practice of the Ministry of War for so many years, and it is also a counterpart.
Even that Chen Yiyi helped Li Meng speak: "Your Majesty, the two princes are noble, and the location of Xiyang Pass is important, so it is not an exaggeration to send the elite left guards of Muye Country to protect the two princes. β
Yang Mu also nodded and said, "The minister seconded the proposal." β
These two prime ministers can be regarded as partially fulfilling their own wishes and fulfilling the entrustment of others.
Emperor Dingyuan looked around and saw that no one raised a different opinion, and immediately said: "Then so be it, send 50,000 Imperial Forest Army and 100,000 Left Guards to guard the commander's tent, and let Qin Tianjian choose an auspicious day for the zodiac to set off." β
The old emperor was tired, things were arranged, the old emperor went back to the harem to enjoy himself again, the big thing was decided, and the rest of the things were naturally arranged by a large number of subordinates.
Li Meng miraculously became the generalissimo of the Western Expedition, the head of the army of six or seven hundred thousand, at least the real head of the army of 150,000, until Li Meng returned to the palace, he really became the generalissimo of the Western Expedition.
Li Meng's electric light phone hasn't been realized yet?
Li Meng didn't remember until he returned to the palace that the cool industry he had prepared was the last step.
This matter has to be done by someone, Li Meng also promised the old emperor, in the eyes of the old emperor, it is just a thing to play, and he may have forgotten that there is such a thing, but Li Meng remembers that this thing is done, and his naval dream can be realized, in case of danger in the next 20 years, he can still sail to sea, and there is one more way to save his life.
"Lao Dang, send someone to inform the military department, the left guard army and the steward of the Imperial Forest Army to discuss the matter of sending troops, this king is now the generalissimo of the Western Expedition, and he has to explain a few things. β
"Yes, my lord. β
Lao Dang is also a lot more angry today, the housekeeper of the prince's mansion may not be nothing, but the generalissimo of the Western Expedition is the first one, and it is also majestic to go out to brag and fart.
As soon as Lao Dang arranged for someone to deliver the letter separately, the porter came to report that Wu Di, the general of the town hall, came to visit, wipe it! Li Meng almost forgot that there was such a subordinate, and Li Meng did not have him in his plan, and Li Meng consciously excluded these two deputy marshals from the people he could command.
