Chapter 593: Two Letters (2)
Zhao Hongrun was not surprised to receive Shen Yu's letter, after all, after counting the time, Shen Yu's side should have settled down, and he should write a letter to him, after all, Zhao Hongrun is the prince he is loyal to. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zongwei is equivalent to a retainer and is supposed to report recent events to those who are loyal to him.
"Let this king take a look and see how that guy Shen Yu is doing lately."
Zhao Hongrun opened the letter with a smile, and Zongwei Mu Qing stood beside Zhao Hongrun, probing his brain, even Zong Wei Jiao, who was guarding beside him, couldn't help but come to Zhao Hongrun's side after hearing Shen Yu's name.
"Uh-huh......"
After opening the letter, Zhao Hongrun read the words in Shen Yu's letter at a glance.
I saw that in the letter, Shen Yu first asked Zhao Hongrun for peace, and then he told Zhao Hongrun that after he returned to Daliang, he did not find Zhao Hongrun's fifth uncle, Yu Wang Zhao Yuantong.
It turned out that this time Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, did not go to Daliang in person, but sent the head of the sect guard "Shaohu" beside him to be responsible for the training of the new army.
However, with the face of Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei Tianzi, and Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, Shaohu still recommended Shen Yu to Zhao Hongrun's fifth uncle Zhao Yuantong, so Shen Yu, who had just arrived in Daliang a few days ago, had obtained the permission of Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, and was preparing to go to the latter's place and follow the latter to learn the way of commanding the army.
As for the place of seclusion, Shen Yu euphemistically said not to disclose it in the letter, because this was what he promised to Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu.
"This guy is still secret! ā¦ā¦ Your Highness, you must punish him severely when you turn around! ā
Wei Jiao denounced Shen Yu with an "indignant" face, and "accused" Shen Yu in front of Zhao Hongrun, but looking at his expression of smiling and not closing his mouth, it is not difficult to guess that this upright current sect chief is feeling extremely happy that his brother Shen Yu can worship under the door of Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu.
Zhao Hongrun laughed when he heard this, nodded and said, "Well, you must be punished heavily!" ā
However, when the letter paper turned to the second page, Zhao Hongrun was stunned without reading a few lines, because Shen Yu did not write in the letter how he worshiped under the door of Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, but recorded a major event that he had heard about in Daliang.
A scribe named Zhou Yu (bian) became the second staff member of the prince Hongli of the East Palace, and in the name of the East Palace, he offered several seconds to the imperial court to strengthen the country, so that now the momentum of the prince of the East Palace of Daliang in the court and the opposition has risen greatly, completely overshadowing King Yongwang Hongyu and King Xiangwang Hongjing.
Flipping through it again, Zhao Hongrun found that Shen Yu had copied those several national policies for strengthening the country that had been adopted by the imperial court, judging from the handwriting, it did not look like Shen Yu's handwriting, and it was inferred from the seal of the "Hanlin Administration" that Shen Yu should have found a way to get the draft document directly from the Hanlin Department.
And once a certain national policy passes through the Hanlin Administration, it means that the imperial court will be implemented nine times out of ten.
ćā¦ā¦ć
Zhao Hongrun frowned and read the draft document word by word.
There are three articles in the draft document.
First, restore the "Great Wei Wu Army".
Zhou Yu, who proposed this strategy, said that Korea in the north was becoming a growing threat to Wei, and Qi and Lu were about to start a war against Chu.
Therefore, Zhou Yu suggested that the army be expanded, to be precise, should be restored to the name "Great Wei Wu Army".
"Great Wei Wujun...... Wei Wushu!'
Zhao Hongrun's eyes became solemn.
The Great Wei Wu Army, commonly known as Wei Wushu, was once the most elite infantry fighting vehicle mixed army of the Wei State, and it was this strong army that the Wei State relied on to defeat Zheng, Liang and other countries and gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains.
However, in the wars with Korea in the following years, the losses of the Great Wei soldiers were very heavy, until the "Wei Han Shangdang Campaign", the Great Wei Wu army was completely defeated by the Korean cavalry, and the whole army was annihilated.
Since then, the name "Great Wei Wujun" has disappeared, from the pride of Wei people's hearts to an indelible pain.
And now, Zhou Yu believes that there will inevitably be another war between Wei and Korea, since it is inevitable, why not re-establish the pride in the hearts of the Wei people, so that the "Great Wei Wu Army" can be reborn, and seek back the shame of the fiasco from Korea in the north?
This suggestion, which even Zhao Hongrun felt enthusiastic when he saw it, was recognized by the imperial court, and even Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei Tianzi, personally issued a holy decree to name the new army being trained by Shaohu, the head of the sect guard of Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, as "Great Wei Wu Army"!
"it!"
Zhao Hongrun's brows furrowed, and he cursed in his heart.
You must know that the name of "Great Wei Wu Army" is the pride of the Wei people in the whole country, and Zhou Yu, a scribe who came out of nowhere, actually let this fabulous status of the name fall on the head of the 50,000-strong new army that Shao Hu is training, doesn't this mean that this army with the name of "Great Wei Wu Army" will be biased towards the East Palace?
What's more important is that this "Great Wei Wu Army" is a new army created by those Zongwei Yu Lin Lang who were taken from Zongfu by Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei Tianzi, and the Zongwei Chang Shaohu of Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, can imagine how powerful this army will be.
Not to mention the Shangshui Army, Yanling Army, and Northern Sichuan Cavalry in Zhao Hongrun's hands, even if it is the sixth battalion of the garrison, I am afraid that in terms of combat effectiveness, it will not be able to compare with this brand-new 'Great Wei Wu Army'.
After all, this "Great Wei Martial Army" is actually under the name of "Great Wei Martial Army", the combination of Zong Wei Yu Linlang and Yu Shui Army, think about it, you also know that the combat effectiveness will definitely be off the charts.
"This Zhou Yu, where did it come from?!"
Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but scold.
He finally understood why Wang Ying of the Zhengcheng Wang clan dared to be so fearless, it turned out that it was Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, who had mastered a powerful army.
Hmm, to be precise, the East Palace has not yet completely mastered the 'Great Wei Martial Army', but I believe that the latter is full of good feelings for the former.
Endured the thought of secretly scolding Zhou Yu, Zhao Hongrun continued to watch.
As a result, after only watching one paragraph, Zhao Hongrun's heart was shocked again.
I saw that in the second national policy, Zhou Yu suggested that the imperial court set up a "General's Mansion", and on the basis of the civil nationality, the scholar's nationality, and the noble nationality, add a guard nationality (military nationality), and the latter was under the command of the "General's Mansion".
"Good ......"
Zhao Hongrun was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
The military, the military, this used to be just a general word, but now there is really a referential government: "General's Mansion"!
The sixth battalion of the garrison, which was once at the pinnacle of the Wei army, suddenly fell to the second class, and the military department existed in name only.
"Father, emperor, or the imperial court, it's impossible to agree to such a ridiculous thing, right?"
Zhao Hongrun opened his eyes wide and looked down, and the more he looked, the more cold it became.
It turned out that the newly established "General's Mansion" did not conflict with the functions and powers of the Ministry of War, and the former was set up by Zhou Yu for foreign wars.
And in this major item, what shocked Zhao Hongrun the most was Zhou Yu's proposal to rent and sell land.
Yes, Zhou Yu suggested that the imperial court lease and sell land on the Wei-Han border such as Shangdang and Hedong to the nobles in the country.
Seeing this, some people may think that Zhou Yu is stupid, that kind of place where there are constant wars, and the nobles in Wei are full of food and support to rent and buy?
Having said that, what if you add Wu Xun? What if you add knighthood and fiefdom?
In this national policy, Zhou Yu proposed that the court allowed all nobles who purchased land on the border between Wei and Han to raise their own armies and attack on their own during the wars between Wei and Han in the future.
Even, if these people counterattacked and conquered the territory of the Hokdihu people or Korea, the imperial court would take back their original fiefdoms in a ratio of "one to two", and allow them to own twice as many fiefdoms as the former.
"Where did this Zhou Yu come from?!"
Zhao Hongrun only felt a chill rising in his back.
Is this a bad national policy?
No, this trick is very powerful, so strong that Zhao Hongrun can't speak.
Although the sequelae of this strategy are quite serious, it is simply an excellent plan in the face of the threat of South Korea's heavy troops!
It is believed that in this way, the nobles in China who did not want to contribute in the war in the past, stimulated by the titles and fiefdoms, will go to the Wei-Han border in the north, and spend a lot of money to build an army, hoping that they can not only recover the cost in the war with Korea, but also earn martial arts that were difficult to obtain in the past.
In this way, the imperial court did not need to do anything, and it was simply helped by a force of at least 100,000 soldiers.
As for whether this move will cause chaos in the country, because Zhou Yu has made it clear that there is only a border between Wei and Han, so even if there are some drawbacks in this plan, the resulting chaos can be limited to Hedong and Shangdang, and will not affect Yingshui.
And the third and last item, Zhao Hongrun only looked at a few lines, and his face suddenly sank.
Why?
Because Zhou Yu praised "King Yan" and "King Su" in his admonitions, and praised his noble character of "the prince guarding the country", he actually asked the imperial court to officially canonize Shanyang County to King Yan Hongjiang as a fief, and Shangshui County as a fiefdom to Zhao Hongrun, don't think this is a good thing, you must know that "Shangshui King" and "Su Wang" are two completely different concepts!
Among them, whether it is a run or a call, Zhou Yu hinted that the four borders of Wei are unstable, and a few people are still needed to sit in the four directions of Wei State.
This is clear that it is necessary to take the initiative to give up participation in the seizure of the throne by the princes of Yongwang Hongyu and Xiangwang Hongjing, and learn from Yan Wang Hongjiang and Su Wang Hongrun to sit on the border of Wei.
"Bastard!"
Zhao Hongrun slapped the table case angrily.
In all fairness, Zhao Hongrun's fourth brother, Yan Wang Hongjiang, took the initiative to give up the fight for the throne and went to Shanyang County to guard the front line of the war between Wei and Han.
And Zhao Hongrun has not changed his mind to participate in the struggle for the throne, as long as Wei can be strong, he is willing to sit in Shangshui County, for Wei to guard against the Chu State in the south.
But no matter what, whether it is Zhao Hongjiang or Zhao Hongrun, they are all out of love for the country and fulfill their duties and obligations as the "prince of Great Wei".
However, there are people who try to use their noble sacrifices and dedication to achieve certain political goals.
This is simply a great insult!
Zhao Hongli...... You've me off! ā
Under the indignant gaze of Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao and Zong Wei Mu Qing, Zhao Hongrun, who was pale, walked to the window and shouted, "Where are the green crows?!" ā
"Uh-huh-"
Outside the window, several gray-clad crows knelt down, each with their heads bowed and one knee knocking on the ground.
"Find out to this king, where did that bastard named Zhou Yu come from! ā¦ā¦ Also, from today onwards, scatter the manpower, send people to keep an eye on the East Palace, if the manpower is insufficient, go to Yangxia and summon the black crows to help! ā¦ā¦ This king must know that Zhao Hongli is a family of people, and every day moves! ā
"Yes!"
Several green crows bowed their heads in response, and then scattered and disappeared.
Zhao Hongrun, who was only left standing by the window, raised his fist and angrily smashed the window lattice. (To be continued.) )
