Chapter 12 Gao Jie's entry into Beijing II

This prosperous Gao Jie can't get enough of it, he has been fighting in the north all the year round, and everywhere he passed, he was in a mess, and he had seen a lot of dead people in one village after another. Seeing the situation in Nanjing, he secretly said in his heart: "It really deserves to be the land of two capitals."

"Daddy." Gao Yuanjue said: "Your Majesty has already given my family a title in Beijing, wait a while, let the people below take your mother to settle in the mansion first, and Your Majesty is waiting in the palace to summon us." ”

When Gao Jie heard that Luo Yulong wanted to see him, his mind suddenly flew to a long, long time ago.

Speaking of which, Gao Jie and Luo Yulong had met at the beginning.

It's just that Gao Jie at that time was in the camp, but he was just an ordinary young general, and Luo Yulong was also a half-grown child. It's just that I never thought that more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. Luo Yulong is the king of a country, and he has achieved this position.

My heart couldn't help but be full of emotion.

After entering the palace, I found that the palace room was very old, although there were many traces of repair. But overall, it's not new. It's just a little cleaner.

If it is according to the level of repairing the palace in the Ming Dynasty, it is not a million taels of silver to repair the palace. But Luo Yulong has a million taels of silver, what is not good. How could you put this on it.

Gao Jie's thoughts only ran away for a while, and immediately turned to his eyes.

After Gao Jie entered the main hall, he was about to salute, but he heard a man wearing a dragon robe come over, helped Gao Jie up, and said, "Uncle Gao, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Gao Jie actually didn't recognize Luo Yulong, after all, it had been many years since the last time they met, and not only the eighteenth change of the women's university, but also the eighteenth change of the men's university? It's just that Luo Yulong and Luo Ru are father and son, and above the outline, there are really some places like fathers.

Gao Jie could recognize it at a glance.

At this moment, Gao Jie's heart was put down, he was not greedy Luo Yulong, "Uncle Gao." Instead, he felt Luo Yulong's attitude.

Luo Yulong first asked about the situation of the first battle in Xuzhou.

From the perspective of Gao Jie, it is extremely thrilling. Luo Yulong seemed to forget his business for a while, but focused on the Qing army, and asked, "Uncle Gao, what do you think, how is the combat power of Dongyu?" ”

Gao Jie has politely rejected Uncle Gao several times just now. Luo Yulong insisted on showing closeness in this way, and Gao Jie had no choice. I can only bear it. He pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the East is not invincible. Defend the eastern captives and wait for the attack. ”

Luo Yulong was dissatisfied with this statement, but he didn't say it, and said, "Why do you say this? ”

Gao Jie said: "Old slave, the elite soldiers of a hundred battles honed by Huang Taiji for two generations can be described as the best in the world. At the beginning of the battle of Tongguan, hundreds of soldiers attacked the king from the mountain and shook it. The ministers fought against it, and they saw more than 100 people, but dozens of people, and those who dared to fall into battle could be described as indomitable. ”

"The ministers collected the whole army, and there were no more than 10,000 elite soldiers of this generation. And the Eight Banners of the Qing Army are probably like this. ”

"In the battle of Xuzhou, if there is no help from the Duke of Weiguo, the minister does not dare to guarantee that he can retreat, and even if the soldiers of the Eight Banners are defeated and retreat, they will not see a little rout, and the minister will follow and observe, and there is no chance."

Luo Yulong said: "Uncle Gao, you are too arrogant and destroy your own prestige. The first emperor brought a three-foot sword and asked for the people's life, so that today, Cao Ying's soldiers, the elite of the world, are seen by everyone. Although I am not good, I dare not lose the hope of my ancestors. Dongyu is certainly powerful. One setback in Xiangyang, the other setback in Xuzhou. It can be seen that the elite soldiers of Great Xia are not weak. ”

Gao Jie heard the dissatisfaction in Luo Yulong's heart. He didn't have anything to refute. He really doesn't have much confidence in the strength of the Xia Army, and the various departments of the Xia Army he has seen can't talk about the real elite of the Xia Army, for example, the Xia Army he has the most contact with is Yuan Shizhong.

But Yuan Shizhong himself is just a side of Cao Ying.

Gao Jie said: "Your Majesty is wise, but he is an old minister. Chenrong horse half life. In his early years, he was seriously injured, and every autumn and winter, the wound was painful. is already overwhelmed, a town in Huaidong, which is the barrier of the Beijing Division. But you can't put it on such an old hand as the minister, please ask Your Majesty for permission, and the minister will return to Beijing to recuperate. Another good general was sent to take over Huaidong Town. ”

The word "good" swung in Luo Yulong's mouth and swallowed it hard. In his heart, he very much wanted to integrate Gao Jie's part into Great Xia, so that all the decrees of the Great Xia Land would be passed.

He also completed his first goal when he ascended the throne: to cut the feudal domain.

But where there is speed, it will not be reached.

Gao Jie said it easily, but now Luo Yulong couldn't find anyone who could take over Gao Jie's position for a while. Not to mention controlling all the forces under Gao Jie's department. There is no urgency.

Luo Yulong instantly understood this truth and said, "Uncle Gao, what are you talking about. You're only in your forties, and you're in the age of fighting, so why do you say such frustrating things? However, Uncle Gao's illness is indeed unbearable. I happened to spend this year in Nanjing. I will arrange for the best Lang Zhong to treat Uncle Gao. After the spring flowers bloom next year, it is not too late to return to Huai'an. ”

Gao Jie said: "Your Majesty Xie favors the old minister, but the old minister has been here for a long time, and I am afraid that Huai'an will not be presiding." ”

Luo Yulong said: "That's it. Zhang Yingyuan had just been transferred back from Jiangxi, so he made him Uncle Gao's deputy general. Replace Uncle Gao to sit in Huai'an for a period of time. ”

Gao Jie said: "Your Majesty is definitely right, but I am afraid that General Zhang is not familiar with the situation in Huai'an, and Li Chengdong has made great contributions in the Battle of Xuzhou, can he be General Zhang's subordinate." ”

Both Gao Jie and Luo Yulong knew that it was unlikely that Gao Jie would return to Huai'an. The period from the wax moon to the spring flowers is just a transition period. If there is no problem, Zhang Yingyuan, who has just made great contributions in the battle of Ganzhou, is likely to be the one who replaces Gao Jie's position.

It's just that the incorporation of the army will inevitably have accidents, and Gao Jie's prestige will be used to suppress one or two. And Gao Jie also fought a lot for his old brother, at least after Li Chengdong took the throne, Gao Jie's family of people would not be bullied in vain.

The meeting came to an end in a harmonious atmosphere. Immediately, Luo Yulong began to reward on a large scale. The reward for Gao Jie is simply to empty the rhythm of the inner library. Silver, gold, jewelry, acres, shops, mansions.

Gao Jie jumped and became one of the top magnates in Great Xia. The title of Privy Council Vice-Chancellor, which hung on his head, seems to have been regularized. Zhang Xuan in order to show his favor to Gao Jie. All Imperial Meetings involve Gao Jie.

For a while, Yang Chengzu became a little embarrassed.

On the one hand, Great Xia was established by Cao Ying, after all, and he controlled the power of the Privy Council and could not be ceded to foreign generals. This not only represents Yang Chengzu himself, but also ghostwrites many Cao Ying brothers. On the other hand, in the Privy Council, there are two lords who have titles above him. Yang Chengzu's right to speak was naturally affected.

Not to mention Yang Chengzu's hatred.

Zhang Yingyuan got Luo Yulong's order and didn't have many days in Beijing. With more than 10,000 elite soldiers, he went from the canal to Huai'an. Zhang Yingyuan secretly said in his heart: "I will definitely let the 100,000 troops in Huaidong Town obey from now on." ”

Zhang Yingyuan didn't go with him, and there were not many civil officials.

Luo Yulong will never let the existence of a country of its own below. Even on Zhang Xuan's side, many civil officials were appointed by Zhang Xuan, but whether they could be approved or not was still a matter for the ministry. Zhang Yingyuan is the same, his power is far from comparable to Gao Jie.

Although it was not reduced to the point where it could only be in charge of the military, the specific government affairs at the local level, as well as the salt administration, shipyards and other places, were taken over by various ministries one by one. It's not something that Zhang Yingyuan can interfere with.

Zhang Yingyuan was transferred to Huai'an, and Luo Yulong was still quite satisfied.

But he didn't know that many years later, a great change that countless historians had speculated about began because of this seemingly normal transfer. These are all afterthoughts, and not every one of them can recognize the hidden danger as an ungerminated state.

Luo Yulong didn't know this either.

As soon as the battle of Xuzhou ended, there was no fighting on Zhang Xuan's side for the time being. Luo Yulong's eyes naturally focused on Sichuan, which had been chaotic. In particular, the Qing army was about to enter Sichuan.

For a time, this place in Sichuan gathered people from three parties, the Ming army, the Great Western Army, and the Qing army. There is also Luo Yulong's peeping.
