Chapter 282: Return to Liaodong
、、、、、、、、、、
The eldest grandson Wuji touched his chin and said lightly: "At present, although the imperial court has quelled the rebellion of the Yuan clan and the Dugu clan, Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei and other big bandits are still there, and their strength is still strong. Shandong, Hedong, and Henan are plagued by bandits. The imperial court wants to suppress bandits and resettle displaced people, which is also anxious. If we pull the anti-flag again, Yang Guang will be even more unable to deal with it. Moreover, His Majesty also wanted to attack the Turks and eliminate the threat to the north of the Great Sui. If he sticks to this policy, it will be even less likely that he will attack us first. I think there are many people in the court who understand this, and they should understand this truth! ”
"Wuji, you mean to send someone to make peace with the imperial court?" When Yu Ming heard the eldest grandson Wuji say this, he immediately reacted.
"Hmmm! We can propose to the imperial court that we are willing to remain officials of the Great Sui. and is willing to return Liaoxi County to the imperial court. But in return, I hope that Your Majesty will no longer hold you accountable for your faults, and be named the king of Liaodong, and manage Liaodong for the imperial court. In this way, everyone can get by and avoid continuing to fight each other and causing heavy losses to the military and civilians on both sides. The eldest grandson Wuji said.
After hearing this, Yu Ming was a little skeptical and said: "It's good to pardon my mistakes, and it shouldn't be much of a problem to ask the imperial court to make me a magistrate in Liaodong." But the Great Sui has never had a king with a different surname since the founding of the country, how can it change because of me? ”
At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji stroked the long beard under his chin and said: "Ah Ming, we are actually sitting on the ground and starting the price, raising the price a little, and waiting for the court to counteroffer." Even if the saint can't crown you as the prince, there are still not many problems with sealing a prince or something, right? It's really not good, so let you still be the marshal of the Liaodong Xingying. As long as we can have the power to open the government and recruit staff, and appoint officials on our own. ”
"Hmmm! That's good! Yu Ming thought for a while and said, "Then we have to send someone to negotiate with the imperial court." I just don't know who to send? ”
At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said, "I would like to go to the Eastern Capital." Do it for my brother-in-law! ”
After hearing this, Yu Ming shook his head and said: "Wuji, it's better for you not to show up first, as soon as you come out, the saint will know that you have voted for me." Although you are single, you still have a lot of family, and I am afraid that they will be affected. ”
After the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he also changed color suddenly, so he realized that his relatives were still in the Eastern Capital. After a while, he nodded slowly and said, "Thank you for reminding me!" That being the case, let's wait until we return to Liaodong before making plans! ”
……
On October 28, the eleventh year of the Great Cause, Yuming finally returned to Liaodong. At this time, the weather in eastern Liaodong has turned cold, and the biting cold wind blows from the north, making people feel cold. But fortunately, Yuming and the others had already prepared winter clothes, but they didn't feel any discomfort, after all, he had experienced a whole winter in Liaodong.
Seeing the Liaodong city wall standing majestically on the ground, as well as the farmers and fields busy with the autumn harvest next to the official road, he couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy. Especially after experiencing this danger, he regarded Liaodong as his home.
"It feels so good to be home!" Yu Ming secretly thought in his heart.
The generals of Liaodong, who had already been informed, came to meet him at the gate of the city under the leadership of Red Sleeves.
Seeing that the husband who had been concerned about him finally came back after hardships and dangers, the red sleeves also cried with joy, and after shouting "husband", he hugged Yuming's arms and cried.
The eldest grandson Wujian on the side saw this, but his heart was slightly sour. Although Yuming had already told her that he had married Red Sleeves and Li Xiuning as his wife. She was prepared, but when she saw another woman become her husband's wife, she still felt unacceptable for a while.
After a while, Red Sleeves broke free from Yu Ming's arms, and seeing the eldest grandson's expression different, Fang realized that he shouldn't have snubbed this sister.
She hurriedly wiped her tears, walked to the eldest grandson Wuji, grabbed her slender hand, and said apologetically: "Sister Wuji, I'm sorry, there is a ...... between me and Senior Brother Ming."
The eldest grandson Wujian is such a smart person, how could she do something that is unladylike in such a public?
She hurriedly smiled and said, "Sister Red Sleeves, I already know from my husband that you are also married to him...... I'm glad I found out about that. In the future, it will be more convenient to ask you to ask for a coach! In the future, we will assist Fujun together, be a pair of good sisters, and handle the affairs of the family properly! ”
After hearing this, Red Sleeves also nodded happily, and held hands with the eldest grandson Wuji, and the two girls were smiling and intimate.
Yu Ming knew that Red Sleeves had a very strong temper, and although the eldest grandson Wujian looked lively and cute, he was actually a person who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. He was originally a little worried that there would be a quarrel between the two women after they met, but now it seems that he is too worried.
After all, the two girls are not ordinary market girls, they only know how to compete for the wind and be jealous, they are both strange girls who have seen a lot of the world, and they know how to leave a good image for each other. Therefore, the words and deeds of the two women made him breathe a sigh of relief. No matter what the two women think in their hearts, at least for the time being, there is no need to worry about them arguing in front of them.
Under the leadership of Red Sleeves, the group entered the newly completed Marshal's Mansion, and Chen Ling, Li Qin and others had already been killed. Now the six counties of Liaodong are under the complete control of the camp in Liaodong.
After everyone entered the hall, Yu Mingfang held the first meeting after self-reliance to discuss the current countermeasures.
At the meeting, Yu Ming first introduced the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson Wuji to everyone. Many of the generals have seen this brother and sister, some have not seen it, and they heard that it is the marshal's wife and uncle, and they are all in their hearts, and all of them have a look of respect on their faces.
"Ruyan, what's going on now? Is there any major turmoil in Liaodong? Yuming asked the question he was most concerned about.
Du Ruhan hurriedly replied: "Please rest assured, the imperial court has not publicly declared the marshal and our Liaodong Army to be rebellious, so the surname and the soldiers do not know that such a change has taken place in the court." The only thing they knew was that Chen Ling, who was left behind in Liaodong, died of illness, and the marshal was back in charge of Liaodong's military and political affairs. Many people are still happy about this...... The morale of the army and the people has risen instead of falling. The only place where something went wrong was Jeho Silla! ”
"Oh? What's going on in these two places? Yu Ming asked in surprise.
"Due to the long-term rule of the royal families of Ji and Silla, the surnames of these two places are more identified with the previous royal family, and they are very repulsive to our Dasui officials. In the past, there were many garrisons in these two counties, and the people did not dare to make trouble. Now because of the fear that the imperial court will send troops to Liaodong, a large number of troops have been drawn to the line of the Liaohe River, and the defensive force is much weaker, so there are many people who make trouble, and there are even a few incidents of attacking the yamen. Du Ruhui said.
"What? Is there such a thing? After hearing this, Yu Ming's brows suddenly furrowed.
At this time, Cheng Yanjin said with a big grin: "Don't worry, the marshal, I am willing to take the initiative to ask Ying, lead 50,000 soldiers to suppress it, at most a month, and absolutely kill those rebellious bandits and Diao people who do not listen to persuasion, so that they will never dare to have different intentions again." ”
"Marshal, no!" When Wei Zheng heard this, he immediately became anxious.
He hurriedly said: "General Cheng is a good hand at fighting, and he is definitely a tough guy in the army, but this is no better than fighting a war in dealing with local affairs. It is by no means a solution that kills people. From the perspective of subordinates, it is more appropriate to send an official who is well versed in foreign affairs and internal affairs to deal with it. ”
Yu Ming nodded, his idea was also to turn the Korean Peninsula into his big rear, rather than a negative territory that was constantly causing chaos.
At this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji came out and said: "Marshal, I have just arrived, and I have not made an inch, so this time the **** matter of Ji and Silla counties will be handled by me!" ”
"Good! Brother Mowgli, this matter will be for you! I immediately order you to be appointed as the guardian of the two counties of Silla and Je, and have full authority to handle the military and political affairs of these two counties! After Yuming heard this, he was also very happy.
The eldest grandson Wuji was born in Honglu Temple, and he is naturally proficient in foreign affairs. And he is his own uncle, so he has to be especially careful about his role. Although he knows the ability of the eldest grandson Wuji, most of the subordinate generals don't know. If you take the liberty of promoting him to an important position, I am afraid that some people will think that you are nepotistic. And if the eldest grandson Wuji can successfully solve the unstable situation of the people in Silla and Jiji, he will be reused, and there will be no doubts.
It's just that Hu Sizheng is a little confused, he is not familiar with the eldest grandson Wuji, he only knows that he is the son of the elder Sun Sheng, the secretary of the old Honglu Temple, but he doesn't know anything about this person's ability. So, he immediately asked: "The eldest grandson is willing to take the initiative to ask for help, which is naturally commendable for courage, but he doesn't know what is the best way to calm the unstable situation in these two counties. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji also knows that he must show his strength, otherwise more people will question him in the future.
So, he smiled slightly, and said eloquently: "Lord Hu, I have read many books on governing the country and the world, and I have served as Shaoqing in Honglu Temple for a year, so I still have some experience in dealing with this kind of new annex. I feel that the only way to calm down the situation in the two counties of Ji and Silla as soon as possible is to adopt a policy of ethnic equality and eliminate the inequality between the Han Chinese, the Ji people, and the Silla people. All taxes, military service, identity registration, etc., dilute national identity. All my surnames under the rule of the Liaodong Xingying shall abide by the laws of the Metropolitan Protectorate and enjoy their rights and obligations......"
"Local officials at all levels should regard the Ji, Silla and Han people as the same. Officials do not give preferential treatment to them because they are of different races, nor do they discriminate against them because they are not Han Chinese, and all measures and policies are implemented in accordance with the standards of Han people. Make them think that they are the same as the Han people, and there is nothing special about them. In addition, it is supplemented by various measures to induce them to take the initiative to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, and to educate and guide them from childhood. In less than twenty years, it will be completely assimilated. ”
Then, the eldest grandson Wuji was afraid that the Liaodong people would not understand the meaning of doing this. He also gave a special example of "five indiscriminate China" as an explanation.
