Chapter 130: Flexibility
Zhao Hao, the Chen brothers, had long been interested in solicitation, but because of the 'Qingyu', they hadn't started yet, but they didn't expect the two of them to come up with such a 'trick' who didn't care about their heads first, and put themselves on the fire to roast. If it is placed on others, there may be some hesitation, but Zhao Hao just wanted to run for his life, hoping to find a place to survive in the troubled times, but he didn't expect that the stall would get bigger and bigger, and it would be impossible to keep a low profile. Now it can only be to continue to expand and make itself stronger.
As for what the court thinks, Zhao Yu will not take it to heart. Others fear that they will be impeached because they are trying to stand on their own feet and intend to usurp the throne. But he is not afraid, if the situation continues to develop according to the trajectory of history, I am afraid that he will not be able to wait for himself to have the intention of usurping the throne, and the little emperor will return to heaven, and at that time they will all cry and shout and beg him to be the emperor, maybe they don't want to do it! The Chen brothers have now resorted to the Dafa of 'ignoring their heads', although everyone can see what is going on, but they can't find anything wrong with their faces, and they just need to push the boat down the river.
The Destroyer Army is a little troublesome, although they are local troops, they are also subordinate to the Forbidden Army of the Temple Division. Unlike the Left Wing Army and the Brave Army, which were attached to the Shuaifu Army, they were regarded as rebels by the imperial court because of their participation in the Quanzhou Rebellion and the surrender of the enemy army, respectively, and no one would say anything about Zhao Yu's annexation of the remnants. The Destroying Front Army is different, even if they are driven out of Guangzhou City, they have been fighting the enemy, but Zhao Yu is covetous of its combat effectiveness, a trained division of a hundred battles is better than a lack of training and bravery, especially they have a good bloodline, as long as the supplementary soldiers go through a period of training, they can quickly recover their combat strength.
"Two gentlemen, which one has more power, the Shuai Mansion or the Privy Council, does our Shuai Mansion have the power to dispatch local troops?" Zhao Yu thought for a while and asked.
"Your Highness, it's hard to say...... Maybe! Deng Guangjian said first. He knew that the rank of deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses was granted temporarily, not permanently, so it was difficult to define its authority, and for His Highness, it was actually more reputation than substance. More of them want to call on the world's soldiers and horses to work hard in the name of this. It can be said that it is large, and there is no will to grant authority, and no one can say whether it can manage the Privy Council and the front secretary of the palace; It is said that it is small, but this title was given by the Empress Dowager herself, and the current emperor has issued an order to confirm it, and it has a brand of admiration intended to act on behalf of the emperor, and it should be one level higher than other ministries and departments according to the rules.
"Your Royal Highness, during the Jingkang period, when the Jin army went south, Emperor Gaozong was awarded the position of generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, commanding the world's soldiers and horses. At that time, there were only thousands of soldiers and horses, but after collecting the soldiers and horses of Lianghe and Shandong and bringing them all under his command, there was a matter of Zhongxing. Since there is no explicit decree, it is not inappropriate for His Highness to follow the example of Emperor Gaozong back then to recruit soldiers and horses from all walks of life, even if there are people in the court who criticize it, we can argue with it. Ying Jieyan pondered for a moment.
"In this case, we will give a confused monk to the confused case, and now there is a report that the imperial court fleet is moving closer to Guangdong, and the Guangnan East Road system envoy Zhang Zhensun is also leading an official to come here in the starry night. Inevitably the night was full of dreams, so Mr. prepared an official document in the name of the Marshal's Mansion to the Destroying Front Army and reported it to the imperial court, and requisitioned the Destroying Front Army's Horse Development Department to go to Guangnan West Road to help the Marshal's Mansion recover the lost territory and suppress the bandits. Then let them board the boat tomorrow night and leave Canton under the pretext of escorting the fleet to Qiongzhou. Zhao Hao understood. Since there are no regulations, let's mess around according to the convention, anyway, this is a mess, and the court will not care about the whereabouts of the thousands of soldiers if they are too busy to take care of themselves, even if someone wants to pursue it. He is far away from the emperor in Qiongzhou, what can he do with himself.
"Well, Your Highness, this is a wonderful discussion. Our marshal's government is seconded rather than absorbed, and as for when they will be rebuilt, it will depend on how the war goes. Ying Jieyan stroked his beard and smiled. Although he didn't understand what the allusion of the 'confused monk broke the confused case', he also understood that His Royal Highness meant that Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou - there was no repayment of the loan.
"Yes, in this way, not only did you block the mouths of others, but also got a strong army, Your Highness is really a clever plan!" Deng Guangxuan also praised, but he also secretly admired His Royal Highness in his heart, he also issued official documents in the name of the Shuaifu, but he did not act under the pretense of appeasing the hand, which is equivalent to taking the responsibility on himself, and this courage is not available to everyone.
"Two gentlemen, we have gained a lot in Guangzhou City this time, but we have almost swept away the military supplies such as copper and iron, leather and sulfur on the market, and Lord Zhang is about to take office soon, we still need to hurry up and transport all the things to Qiongzhou, otherwise it will be difficult for him to refuse when he asks for it." Zhao Yu gave way, and after the three of them ate something, they said again.
"What His Highness said is that the Canton Road has gone through war, the yamen of various states and counties have changed several times, and the treasury has been emptied. However, it was difficult for the imperial court to allocate the request, but it was afraid that Zhang Zhizhi would also be poor, and he also hoped to raise some military salaries from Guangzhou. Ying Jieyan nodded and said, he knew that everyone was poor, but he was even poorer, and he was distressed to dig out the things in his pocket, "Now that all the food and confiscated property have been shipped, and the required military materials have also been put on board in batches, and another fleet will set sail for Qiongzhou tomorrow night, and the rear army, the left and right armies, and the recruited craftsmen have already gone with the ship." Now only livestock and war horses and soldiers of the former army and the Chinese army are waiting to be transported, and they can all leave when the ships return. ”
"Well, sir, do you think our food looks too ugly?" Zhao Yu picked up a piece of soft sheep and put it in his mouth and chewed it and said, under his own 'looting', it will be difficult for the market to recover for at least one or two years, leaving a mess for his successor.
"Hehe, Your Highness is too worried." Ying Jieyan looked at His Royal Highness who was full of oil and smiled, "Your Highness ordered to punish the traitors and eliminate the evil, return the stolen goods, and distribute the enemy's property to the poor, and the army is strictly disciplined and Ming Qiu has no offenses, and the purchase of materials is also a fair deal. ”
"Two gentlemen, I think that since we are good people, we will do it to the end, and leave the money seized in the treasury to Zhang Zhizhi, so that he will not have no rice to cook, and when it is time to eat, he will scold our master and apprentice!" Zhao Yu swallowed what was in his mouth and said.
"His Royal Highness proposed, the old man thought that after all, everyone would be a minister in the same palace and fight the enemy together!" Ying Jieyan was stunned for a moment and said with a smile. Everyone knows how many things are in the treasury, and they are only a drop in the bucket compared to the confiscated property. But the outsiders don't know, they just have to hand over the books they have obtained. In this way, His Royal Highness can win the name of incorruptibility, but only Zhang Zhensun knows the bitterness, but he can't say it, and he has to laugh with him, and His Royal Highness's 'archway' is invisibly two feet higher......
