Chapter Twenty-Nine: Promotion

Dai Yougui's words made Feng Hongduo's soldiers howl and cry, and Feng Hongduo himself was also moved, crying bitterly on the spot, saying how he regretted Yunyun. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the same day, after Yang Xingmi received Dai Yougui's report, he immediately made a decision, personally led more than a dozen guards, rocked a small boat, wore regular clothes, and did not carry weapons, and boarded Feng Hongduo's warship to meet him.

After seeing Feng Hongduo, I saw that this former assassin was in a cloak at this time, depressed, but his eyes looking at him were full of hope; Many soldiers around him also looked at him with hopeful faces.

So Yang Xingmi's face was full of frankness, stepped forward to take Feng Hongduo's hand, and comforted him loudly, "The envoy is just a defeat, why go to sea?" It's better to stay, but you can't lead the troops in the future, and you can still guarantee that you will be rich and noble for a lifetime. ”

Feng Hongduo was grateful, bowed to the ground and cried, "The king's order, how dare the criminal minister disobey." ”

Yang Xingmi stepped forward to help him up and said, "What is Feng Yuanjun's crime?" It's just that I didn't think about it for a while. So Feng Hongduo was appointed on the spot as the deputy envoy of Huainan Jiedu.

After appeasing Feng Hongduo, he turned his head to look at Shang Gongnai who was standing beside Feng Hongduo, and immediately recognized this person as the person who had spoken out to him in Guangling before.

At that moment, Yang Xingmi asked Shang Gongnaidao, "Do you remember what you said when you asked me for Runzhou in Guangling?" ”

Shang Gongnai bowed his hand and apologized frankly, "It's just that the generals are their masters." It's a pity that it didn't work out at the beginning. ”

Yang Xingmi laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged, "If you can serve me in the future as you served Feng Yuanjun in the past, then I won't have any worries." ”

Later, he announced to the soldiers that the past would not be investigated, and ordered to send wine and food to reward the soldiers, and Feng Hongduo's soldiers were moved by his mind and bearing, and cheered one after another.

So, Yang Xingmi took Feng Hongduo and others to return to Guangling together. Since then, Feng Hongduo has never betrayed him again, and Shang Gongnai later successfully intercepted Tian Yan's counter-letter and reported it to Yang Xingmi, and finally lived up to Yang Xingmi's expectations of him.

At this moment, Yang Wu was sitting in a mansion in Shengzhou City.

Shengzhou has a long history and is known as Jinling in ancient times. In the middle of the Warring States period, Xiong Shang, the king of Chuwei, built Jinlingyi in Stone City. Later, Sun Quan of the Three Kingdoms period built the capital here and renamed it Jianye. Since then, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen have successively built their capitals here, so this place is known as the "ancient capital of the Six Dynasties". During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Jinling was deliberately degraded by the northern regime of Chang'an, the capital of the city, but its geographical advantages made the region's economy and culture continue to grow stronger. Up to now, the Shengzhou generation is very prosperous, even better than Guangling.

The mansion where Yang Wu lived occupied a large area, and the decoration inside was very luxurious, which used to belong to Yan Jian, who was killed by Fan Yu on the battlefield. After Li Shenfu led the army into Shengzhou, this place was conquered by Yang Wu as his mansion.

"This city is really different. Even after the deliberate suppression of the Sui and Tang dynasties, today's Shengzhou is still so prosperous. It is no wonder that the later Southern Tang Dynasty moved the capital here. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang also took this place as the foundation and implemented the policy of 'building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowing down the king', and finally completed the only feat in Chinese history to unify China from the south to the north. ”

"In the future, after I become the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, will I also move the administration here?" Yang Wu thought about this question seriously.

"However, it is said that in history, there is no dynasty that has a long life here."

Let's not talk about the previous six dynasties, let's just say that the later Zhu Yuanzhang, he worked hard to build a stone city, known as the first city in the world, but only more than 30 years later, Nanjing was broken by Zhu Di, who raised troops from Beijing; Later, Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, so the time when the Ming Dynasty really set the capital in Nanjing was actually more than 50 years. As for the later Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Republic of China, although they were also built here, it is also a fact that their life span was not long.

"Could it be that Jinling's feng shui is not good?" Yang Wu muttered to himself.

After coming to Jinling, I heard a legend from the locals, saying that King Chuwei drove away King Yue here and garrisoned on the Lion Rock by the river. He looked around and saw the majestic scenery and his joy was spontaneous.

But suddenly, his face turned from sunny to cloudy. The surrounding ministers were busy asking the reason, and King Chu Wei said with some irritation: "Although the scenery of this place is good, the king's spirit is too strong!" So he followed the advice of the wizard and buried a batch of gold on the Lion Rock, using gold to suppress the royal spirit of this place, so as to ensure that there would be no emperor in the future.

Since then, this place has been called "Jinling", and Jinling because of the gold to suppress the royal spirit, so the later dynasties here did not live long.

Thinking of this legend, Yang Wu couldn't stop laughing. As a later generation, he still thinks more about the victory of man over the sky, rather than these ethereal royal sayings.

At this time, Diao Yanneng came in and reported, "Childe, there is a messenger from Guangling to convey the king's order. It should be the will to reward the meritorious soldiers who went out to quell the rebellion. ”

After a common tribulation a few days ago, his loyalty to Yang Wu also rose rapidly, and under Yang Wu's inspection, he found that there were already 4 points, and the loyalty of Xiao Cui, the personal maid who grew up with him, was at a level, which made Yang Wu very happy.

"Where is the messenger now?"

"In the former Shengzhou Assassin's Mansion, General Li ordered someone to invite Gongzi to go, and presumably other meritorious soldiers will also go."

Yang Wu nodded, got up and changed his clothes, and rode towards the Thorn Mansion.

As soon as I entered the Assassin's Mansion, I saw that all the meritorious soldiers had arrived, Li Shenfu, Qin Pei, Lu Shizao, and so on.

When the messenger saw that all the people had arrived, he took out a decree and read it out in public:

"In the east, all the provinces and camps are unified, the school is inspected, the book is ordered, the order of Wu Wang Yang, the general Li Shenfu, is loyal and upright, Xuande Ming'en, observes the festival and takes friendship, since he belongs to the lonely king, he is invincible, he is invincible, and he has made great contributions. Today, in one fell swoop, the rebellion of Shengzhou was put down, and it was a great achievement, and it was specially added to the history of Shengzhou to praise its merits.

Huainan Ya army envoy Yang Wu, in the battle of Renjiazhuang, suddenly encountered the enemy's attack, the command is determined, the plot is prominent, defeated the enemy in one fell swoop, beheaded more than 600 people, captured more than 1,000 enemies, and beheaded the enemy general Yan Jian, meritorious, special into the capital commander, Xu led 3,000 soldiers. ”

……

After reading it out, many generals basically had rewards, or rewarded with money, or official positions were promoted. Among them, Li Shenfu was still appointed as the assassin of Shengzhou as in history, but Yang Wu here is very different from history.

In history, Yang Wu was appointed as the military envoy of the Ya Nei for several years, but he did not make an inch, so he did not get promoted. It wasn't until two years later that the then Xuanzhou assassin Shi Taimeng died of illness, and Yang Xingmi was also seriously ill at that time, in order to speed up the cultivation of heirs, Yang Xingmi appointed Yang Wu as the Xuanzhou Observer and took charge of Xuanzhou.

But now Yang Wu made a contribution in the battle of Renjiazhuang, so Yang Xingmi, who was overjoyed, immediately ordered his official position to be promoted, and the number of soldiers and horses under his command also increased to 3,000. This is still considering that Yang Wu is still young, so he only gave him 3,000 people.

Yang Xingmi promoted his son, and there were real merits there, and naturally no one dared to object, and immediately congratulated him.

Yang Wu himself is also very happy, this promotion shows that history has been changed by him, as long as he continues to work hard, the future will never be as bleak as in history.

In addition, he also felt that in the past, when he met the soldiers in the army, although they were also in awe of him, he knew that those people were only in awe of his identity as the eldest son of King Wu; A few days ago, when he saw the officers and men of the army again after defeating the enemy army in Renjiazhuang after defeating him in one fell swoop, the eyes of those people had changed, and they began to be in awe of his own majesty.

and Qin Pei, Li Shenfu and others are also changing their attitudes towards him, which shows that he finally began to gradually establish his prestige in the army, and those generals also began to gradually recognize him. It made him very excited.

After the envoy read out the will, he congratulated Li Shenfu, Yang Wu and others.

"Congratulations to General Li, congratulations to the eldest son!" The envoy smiled, "Before the Great King sent down, they also made arrangements for the future deployment of the two generals. General Li will stay behind to guard Shengzhou, and as for the eldest son, the king asked the eldest son to rush back to Guangling as soon as possible. ”

"I don't know why my father asked me to go back to Guangling?" Yang Wu was a little puzzled.

"I don't know about this." The messenger shook his head and replied.

Yang Wu remembered that Yang Xingmi had personally led troops to attack Suzhou this month in history, and couldn't help but guess in his heart, "Is it because my father is preparing to attack Zhu Quanzhong?" ”

He remembered the news he had just received before, the king of Qi, Li Maozhen, who had personally commanded the army, had set off from Fengxiang, and should be currently fighting with Zhu Quanzhong, although he didn't know what the result would be, but he shouldn't be optimistic. Perhaps because of this, Yang Xingmi planned to take the initiative to attack Zhu Quanzhong to help King Qi relieve the pressure.

At the moment, he didn't think much about it anymore and went back to the house to deal with the rest of the things.

The next day, Yang Wu left all the seriously wounded soldiers in Jinling to recuperate, and he took the remaining more than 200 soldiers to board the ship and return to Guangling. Zhu Siqing, who was also seriously injured, was also stayed, although he had woken up, his body was still very weak, and Yang Wu felt that it was better to stay and recuperate.

As for Chen Yanqian, he went directly to Runzhou, his errand in Guangling had already been done under Yang Wu's personal inquiry, and this time he returned to Runzhou to prepare for the handover of the errand and then took his family to Jinling.

It turned out that Yang Wu saw the prosperity of Jinling, and felt that he must manage it well in the future, and when he ascended to the position of Jiedu envoy in the future, he would find a way to move the governance office here. So he recommended Chen Yanqian to Li Shenfu, hoping to appoint him as the Sima of Shengzhou to help run Shengzhou in advance.

Li Shenfu also knew Chen Yanqian's talent, and knew that this person was Yang Wu's confidant, and he was busy with military affairs, so he happened to have no time to deal with the government affairs of Shengzhou, so he readily agreed to Yang Wu's request at the moment.
