Chapter 38: The General Trend (Part II)
By the end of October, the autumn harvest in all counties of Yan Country had ended.
After Ji Kang got the statistics, he came to report to his father, Yan Wang Ji Ming.
In the second half of this year, during a court meeting, Yan Wang Ji Ming suddenly fainted.
Although in a short time, he woke up.
But Ji Ming himself knows that his time in the world is running out.
Therefore, the transfer of power to the crown prince Ji Kang was accelerated.
Under the personal operation of Yan Wang Ji Ming, plus his youngest son Ji Kang, he is indeed very capable.
The court of the Yan Kingdom did not have turmoil because of this.
On the contrary, it is running in a more organized manner than in the past.
Seeing this, Su Xiang didn't care about anything in the court. Recuperate in the uterus with peace of mind and recuperate your body.
The major and small matters of the Yan Kingdom court were handled by the crown prince Ji Kang and the courtiers.
Ji Kang also knows how to behave in the world, and he will report to his father immediately if he has a major event.
The little things are also summarized regularly, and I come to tell my father in person.
As soon as Ji Kang walked into his father's bedroom, he smelled a strong smell of medicine.
Mother Ji Zhao was waiting for her father Ji Ming, and when she saw Ji Kang coming in, she bowed her head and whispered to her father:
"Your Majesty, Kang'er has come to see you."
Yan Wang Ji Ming slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw that Ji Kang had come to him, he struggled to sit up.
Seeing this, Ji Kang hurriedly took a few steps forward to help his mother lift his father up and lean on the back of the couch.
Mother Ji Zhao knew that her husband and son had something to discuss, so she greeted Ji Kang and walked out.
Ji Kang saw that his father's cheeks were thin and pale, and he was secretly worried in his heart.
Then he said to his father, "Father, my son is here." ”
Yan Wang Ji Ming took a breath, coughed dryly twice, and said to Ji Kang:
"Kang'er, you...... There you are? Sit down and talk. ”
Ji Kang is a human being, and he knows the value of family affection.
In Ji Kang's previous life, Ji Kang's old leader said in a casual conversation with himself: "People live for a lifetime, and plants and trees have a spring." In the short decades of human life, there are six kinds of kindness that can never be forgotten. ”
"One, the grace of nurturing; 2. The grace of teaching; 3. The grace of saving lives; Third, the grace of recommendation; 5. The grace of helping each other in times of suffering; Sixth, the brotherhood of brothers and sisters. ”
When Ji Kang heard this, he agreed very much in his heart and wrote it down forever.
In this life, he is a child of the royal family, and his family affection is much weaker than in his previous life.
But no matter what his father Ji Ming is, he first has the grace of nurturing himself, and then he has the grace of support.
These two kinds of kindness are Ji Kang's favors, which are also Ji Kang's principles of life.
The crow feeds back, the lamb kneels to suckle, and the animal is still like this, let alone a human being.
Seeing that his father Ji Ming's body was getting weaker and weaker, and it was not as good as day by day, Ji Kang's heart was indeed uncomfortable.
Ji Kang knew that his father, who was riddled with illness, also had great hopes for this autumn harvest.
After Ji Kang finished reading to his father, after the autumn harvest of Yan Country this year.
My father, who hadn't smiled for a long time because of his illness, had a rare smile on his face.
At this time, the weather has begun to get colder and colder.
The earthen heating supply system of Jigong has also been transmitted to Jidu.
Before the autumn harvest, the Jigong Palace, including the newly established county government offices, and even the earthen overall heating supply system of the Yanguo military camp, had been completely renovated. The same as the regulations in Liaodi, they were officially launched on November 1.
This can be regarded as an indirect benefit to officials and soldiers.
Ji Ming looked at his youngest son sitting in front of his couch and said to him:
"Kang'er, you are saying that this year, the government of various parts of my Yan country, even if it has greatly reduced the proportion of tax grain. The grain in the official warehouse is also more than ever? ”
"Father, that's right. This year, the counties and counties of our country have been in good weather, and in addition, our country has taken many measures to benefit the people, and the actual income of the people has increased by a large margin. ”
"Especially last year, the four counties of Jidu, Shanggu, Wuyang and Hejian were newly established, and the grain per mu cultivated by the people and the government and the government and the army have been harvested, and the yield per mu has been innovative. Even the income of the people has increased considerably. ”
"Father, it can be said that after the end of the autumn harvest this year, the grain stored in the county officials of my Yan Kingdom can at least ensure that all the people of my Yan Kingdom will eat it in the next two or three years, and my Yan Country will no longer have to worry about food."
Ji Kang looked at his father lying on the couch and said slowly.
"Okay, okay, that's it. Kang'er, that's fine, the widow will be completely relieved! Now the widow's body is not as good as day by day, even if he dies, he no longer has to worry about it! My son handled it very well. ”
Yan Wang Ji Ming said happily to Ji Kang.
Ji Kang had an ominous premonition in his heart, and hurriedly comforted his father Ji Mingdao:
"Father, don't say that. Your disease, the doctor has already said, as long as you are healthy and recuperated for a period of time, it will naturally be cured. You can't lose your faith in the first place, and your sons and mothers still count on you, father! ”
Ji Ming was very pleased, shook his head slightly, and said to Ji Kang:
"Kang'er, father, I know my own body, and you don't have to comfort the widow too much."
Then, Ji Ming paused, coughed twice, and said to Ji Kang:
"Kang'er, now that the Son of Heaven has gone, where should I go in Yan Kingdom? Look, you already have a plan in your heart, right? ”
Ji Kang stood up and gently slapped his father's back to make him feel better.
Then he said to his father: "Father, you don't have to worry, the son does have a plan in his heart. ”
Then he leaned into the ear of his father Ji Ming and whispered:
"Father, just as the son said to you in Liaodi: "This is a world of great strife, and if you don't fight, you will die." "The unification of the world is the trend of the times. Now that there is no co-owner in the world, the conquest of the princes will inevitably be even more tragic. ”
"My Yan country is naturally no exception, my Yan country is the authentic relative of the Ji family, and according to the righteousness, it will be promoted by force. Today, the country of Qi is the feud of my Yan country, and it has repeatedly invaded my Yan country, occupied my cities, and killed my people, can this revenge not be avenged? ”
"Erchen has given an order to order our Yanguo Navy to use Jexian (Jeju Island) in Seoul-gun as an advance base and secretly control the natural port of the Salmon Islands (Miaodao Islands)."
"Now that the Third Army of our Yan Kingdom has arrived in Wuyang County, Erchen is ready to let the general Le Jian lead the Fourth Army to enter Ji County from Anxing County to Ji County in the name of winter training, and join Shi Kang and other navies to carry out sea crossing exercises."
"The fifth army of Lejian, plus the two corps of the navy, the total of these three corps is 100,000 regular troops. Erchen plans to use Lejian as the main general and Bo Wang as the deputy general, and cooperate with our army to launch a general attack on Qi after the spring of March next year. ”
"The army will have General Wang Shi as the main general, Wu Yangjing as the deputy general, and lead Hu Guiliang's Third Army, Wu Yangjing's Tenth Army, and Wang Shi's Sixth Army, which are also three armies, with a total of 100,000 regular troops."
"Next year, the army of land and sea will be dispatched at the same time, with the 100,000 army led by Wang Shi as the positive, and the 100,000 army led by Le Jian as the surprise, in total, to launch a general attack on the Qi State."
Speaking of this, Ji Kang paused slightly, looked at his father Ji Ming, and found that his father's face was already flushed.
Ji Kang sighed secretly in his heart, and continued to his father Ji Ming: "Father, in addition, in order to ensure that my Yan Kingdom fights against Qi State this time and does not repeat the past of Le Yi, he has adopted the strategy of "distant friendship and close attack" of Fan Ju of Qin State. ”
"Erchen asked Liao Shan, the minister of rites, to send envoys to various countries, befriend the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Chu, give some of the benefits to the three kingdoms, and let the three kingdoms not send troops to assist the Qi state, so as to block the foreign aid of the Qi state."
"In addition, people went to the Qi State with a lot of money to bribe the ministers of the Qi court, especially the younger brother of the queen of the Qi State, Hou Sheng, which is even more important. Thus, the cohesion of the Qi court was divided. ”
In this way, the court of Qi was divided, and there were no reinforcements outside. The army of our Yan Kingdom is fighting this time, as long as it can be quickly decided, it will definitely be able to take the Qi State in one fell swoop. In this way, my Yan country has taken the lead in the Central Plains. ”
"Father, in order to ensure the continuous attack on the Qi Kingdom, I have ordered the general Rong Yi to rush to Jidu as a backup for General Wang Shi; In addition, he ordered the general Liu Sheng to lead the Eighth Army to garrison Zhongyang and Hejian to prevent Zhao State. ”
"In addition, Erchen has also ordered Qing Qin, who is stationed in Andong County, to lead the Sixth Army to Xing'an County to take over the garrison tasks of Xing'an and Heihe Counties, and cooperate with the First Army of Shanggu County and the Second Army of Yuyang County to prevent the Xiongnu and Donghu in the north."
"And Bo Wang's Ninth Army, as a backup to the Lejian army, is ready to reinforce our front-line army at any time."
After listening to the words of the crown prince Ji Kang, Yan Wang Ji Ming closed his eyes and did not speak for a long time.
After a while, he opened his eyes, laughed and said to Ji Kang: "Good, very good." Sure enough, he is a good son of a widow. Kang'er, just do what you planned! The widow awaits your good news. ”
