Chapter 543: Initiation (3)
Chapter 543
Chang Huaiyin came to Yuhang at this time, which made the two princes also a little puzzled, and the good relationship between Chang Hongquan and Dongping made them very vigilant. When he learned that the Juxian Mansion would be on his side, the second prince couldn't say anything more. He knew that he had absolutely no influence on Juxian Wang Chang Hongquan, and no matter how he was, he had to carry this favor.
After settling down, Chang Huaiyin felt that Yu Hang's current state seemed to be not bad for a person like her who had no intention of political affairs. In the past, when I came to Yuhang, I always had to wait for the lord of the country to visit and greet one by one, and then I could do my own thing and find those friends who had surrendered to the deed, but now, it is not appropriate to visit anyone, so I don't have to pay attention to the family, but it is very leisurely. It's still hard along the way, Chang Huaiyin didn't prepare to go to Tan Weiying right away, climbed the high-rise building, and drank a little wine with her husband on a few dishes with her husband in the night rain and the lights in the city, which was still very delicious.
As the captain of the guard on this trip, the middle-aged man is named Chen O, and half of his brilliant martial arts are learned in the army. Although it is a little mixed, it may suffer a lot in the face of a real master, but anyway, most of the people who can really be called masters will not provoke a guy with a tough background like him, and he always has to take care of a little bit of the strength of the Juxian Palace, and take on the escort work, which is no problem. This time, Chen O was able to lead the team to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess, which was the most important job he had undertaken in the past few years, and King Juxian's promotion of him was very obvious, and Chen O was becoming more and more cautious at this time.
Timing the time, Chen O still informed Chang Huaiyin of some of his worries, especially the Juxian Wangfu is now on the side of Dongping, ready to act when the time comes, except for directly sending troops, everything else cooperates with the Dongping army, Chen O, who was born and raised in Chunnan, is a little difficult to accept after all. Chang Huaiyin laughed at such a statement.
"Chen O, if we fully assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, or His Royal Highness the Second Prince, even if we put all our military and financial resources together, can we really make Chunnan retreat?" Chang Huaiyin asked.
Chen O was silent. On the Jinzhou side, although most of the cooperation with Dongping is carried out through some firms and other personnel, it is carried out in private, and it is not on the table. But the whole Jinzhou can feel how big the changes are, and they can also feel how powerful Dongping, which has gone much more thoroughly than them. The total number of troops that can be counted in Dongping now is comparable to that of Chunnan, but Dongping is a comprehensive professional military system, which is completely controlled by the imperial court. Ye Tao used some of the clan soldiers sent by various families in Tianmeng City, but it was a special case. Compared with Chunnan, and now Xiling, once a large-scale mobilization of troops is required, the clansmen of each family are either directly or indirectly controlled armies, accounting for a considerable part. The fact that the state-level commanders in Dongping did not have direct military authority now seems quite good. The quantity is roughly equal, but what about the quality? Although Dongping's army construction is also divided into several echelons, it is impossible for them to be all elites, but they are professional troops. Their job is to train and wait to fight. In terms of management strength and morale, the gap is even greater. For example, the Dongping mission specially emphasized the issue of extortion by the army and localities along the way, and the same order, the two ** teams were notified in place. But Dongping's side has not reiterated it, but there has not been a single breach of contract for so many years, and the judgment has been made. The supply of Dongping's army made them not care about these extra incomes at all, they cared more about honor. Cang Liao knows etiquette and righteousness, and it has always been like this. At this point, King Juxian's family saw it clearly. They are on the side of Dongping, and the Chang family can continue to be preserved, and with their deep roots in Chunnan, they can definitely become one of the most important families in Dongping after unification. Although he lost the position of the lord of Chunnan, he also gained some from other aspects. Anyway, it's better than the whole clan being razed.
"To be a chess piece is to have the value and consciousness of being a chess piece. My father has long understood this, and over the years, it is not so much about accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity, but about letting everyone in Jinzhou see clearly what is going on. If everyone can think that it is better to cooperate with Dongping, then it will not be difficult for the father to do it. Otherwise, it is difficult to guarantee that some people with a heart will do some drastic things out. Chang Huaiyin said lightly: "Chen O, the reason why you came to Yuhang is because, even if you are dissatisfied with this or that, my order, you will still do your best." And you have some calculations in your heart, knowing that you are at odds with my thoughts and my father's thoughts, but you still ask questions like today, hoping to get an explanation, hoping that we can convince you. And you can convince yourself. There are not many people in my father's team who can command the guards. This is also normal, after all, in Chunnan, the family lineage, this is a tradition, and it is also a matter of course. However, now some people can't help but be willful. Chang Huaiyin tilted his head, looking a little helpless: "Everyone knows that Dongping is very strong, and they may not be disgusted with Dongping's approach." To be honest, those who are confident in their own talents and conduct will be more comfortable in Dongping. My father worked hard to learn, but the atmosphere and environment formed over hundreds of years were not so easy. The capable go up, the mediocre go down, it's easy to say, but it's hard to do. As a result, the most unbearable and uneasy are those deep-rooted and deep twilight families. ”
Chen Russia was silent. Chang Huaiyin was a very outstanding and strong princess when she was a child, and her intelligence was also the best choice, but gradually, everyone felt that she was out of the crowd. Even these people in the Juxian Palace's mansion feel that she doesn't seem to be very interested in anything on weekdays, just concentrating on running her family, and pinning her love on landscapes, calligraphy and painting, which is inevitably a little too ignorant of the fireworks in the world. But Chang Huaiyin's words here made Chen O realize that Her Royal Highness the princess was really smart to the point that others could hardly imagine. This layer of articulation, there is no doubt that she understands very well. It's just that, even though we understand it, is it necessary to go around and publicize these things that are not suitable for people?
"There is one more thing for you to come to Yuhang to deal with conveniently." Chang Huaiyin smiled and said, "You know a person named Mu Ying, right?" A disciple of Jianming Villa, he has been a guard in Ouchi for more than three years. ”
Chen Yu hurriedly replied: "I know." Until last year, we had correspondence, and this guy had been walking with me in the early years. But that's all when I was a teenager. ”
"That's good, Mu Ying was seriously injured more than three months ago and was accidentally rescued by his father's manpower outside. Since then, he has been recuperating from his injuries in the villa in Gusu. Originally, none of our people on the other side revealed their identities, but this guy himself came out. Then he asked about you, but we didn't have to tell you about him yet. He was recruited by an organization called Fuhutang before, but Fuhutang was too hidden, and what he was doing seemed to be a little unclear, and he had some doubts. That time, he participated in a cargo transportation work, but found that Fuhutang had transported a large number of treasures from the Chunnan Inner Court out of Yuhang. And when he questioned the chieftain...... The result is ......" Chang Huaiyin subdivided the part of the content he knew, these were all things that Chang Hongquan let her see, only a simple process and results. But she herself knows that she doesn't know how much bloody rain is hidden in it.
"Fuhutang...... How can you get your hands on the secret treasures of the inner court? Chen Ru found this too unbelievable.
"It's not surprising that Fuhutang was created by Jiang Yan, and last year...... The old lord is still here, with his approval, what can't he get? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince probably knows a little about this part of the secret treasure, and the second prince probably doesn't know it yet. The old lord and Jiang Yan probably also think that Chunnan Jiangshan should not be able to be saved, so they are leaving a way back for their children and grandchildren. ”
Chen O asked again, "Where is Mu Ying now?" ”
"I mentioned this to tell you that Mu Ying is in Yuhang now. He was originally the deputy owner of the village in charge of Zhuang Ding's security at the villa in Gusu, which can be regarded as leisure. But a month and a half ago, when he was shopping for supplies outside, he accidentally found the contact marks of Fuhutang in various places. It should be said that Fuhutang will have some action in Yuhang recently, it should be a lot of movement, it seems that there will be a lot of people involved. Mu Ying reported to his father, originally his father wanted Mr. Du to make a move, but thinking that you and Mu Ying knew each other, I still think it is best for you to come. In the current situation, only everyone trusts each other, and a stranger can't enter this situation anytime soon. The so-called actions of Fuhutang now seem to be nothing more than two aspects, one is the position of the lord of the country, and the other is Ye Tao. Mu Ying is now at the Changfeng Inn, and he also has some people from Gusu's side. Anyway, I'll leave this matter to you. Think we can do it, let me know, and then you guys do it. If it doesn't work, then you have to tell Ye Jingluo quickly. The top priority is to figure out what Fuhutang wants to do. Anyway, if you don't let them do it, let's not get too involved. If Fuhutang treats us as great enemies and concentrates on making trouble for my father, it will be enough for a headache. ”
Chen O agreed. "Your Highness, why don't you tell Ye Jingluo directly? He has plenty of people in his hands, and with his involvement, it is not easy to have problems. ”
"Dongping has a lot of manpower, but after all, it is an outsider, and no matter how much he pretends to be a local, he is still easy to startle snakes. Also, did you forget...... Chess pieces also have the value of chess pieces. Chang Huaiyin said with a smile. Do as I say. ”
This meeting dispelled Chen Russia's doubts, and the Juxian Wangfu also threw himself into this storm without hesitation at this moment.
