Chapter 935: Militaristic Affairs
It is not so much that Su Ren's preparation to make a move on Wuhuan and Xianbei was instigated by Meng Fangtian, but that Su Ren deliberately provoked it. I don't know when, suddenly a businessman from Lingnan took out a book called "Mountains and Mountains", which is not interesting in itself, which records the customs and geographical mountains of the Han Kingdom and the surrounding places. However, some people immediately became obsessed with it after seeing it, including a shopkeeper from the Zhuo family in Shu County.
After Zhuo Wangsun was rectified by Su Ren, instead of hating Su Ren, he completely became Su Ren's follower. Since Gongsun Hong offered Liu Che a plan to sell salt and iron, the Zhuo family's iron smelting immediately suffered the most powerful blow, and it was almost lost. It was Zhuo Wangsun who pulled down his face and begged his daughter and son-in-law, so he hit Su Ren's tailwind. first made a lot of money with the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, and then Su Ren withdrew, and Zhuo Wangsun quit the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce without thinking about it and joined the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce. In Zhuo Wangsun's view, as long as he follows Su Ren, he will never make a loss-making deal.
The shopkeeper of the Zhuo family who came to Yanmen Pass had also worked in the iron-smelting workshop, and when he saw the "Tale of the Mountains", he was attracted by the white mountains and black waters, and with his years of experience, he could see that there must be a treasure buried between the mountains and mountains-coal stone. As a merchant of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, such a big deal cannot be hidden from the president, the shopkeeper of the Zhuo family told Meng Fangtian about his discovery, so the entire Chang'an Chamber of Commerce knew, and then all the businessmen in Yanmen also knew.
Those foreign merchants were not controlled by the laws of the Han Dynasty, so they began to prepare as soon as possible, and when the Yanmen War was over, they just opened the city gate, and they poured out one by one, aiming at Wuhuan and Xianbei. One step slower than others, this is something that a competent businessman will never tolerate. Wave after wave of people said that Meng Fangtian, the new president, was annoying, and he had no choice but to consult with Su Ren.
As soon as Meng Fangtian entered the door, Su Ren stretched out five fingers, Meng Fangtian immediately understood who was the initiator of the whole thing, smiled helplessly and turned around to go out to bargain with those excited businessmen. Out of trust in the god of war and the god of business, all the businessmen felt that even if Su Ren wanted to go fifty percent this time, they would make a lot of money, and they would pass all without many stumbles.
Su Ren, Han Qing, Meng Fangtian, Lei Fu, and the gray-haired Xie Baichuan sat quietly in the lobby. No one spoke, maintaining the same expression and movements as the Buddha, and the old god was there.
Meng Fangtian is a businessman in the end, and he doesn't have the ability of these Taishan to collapse in front of him without changing his face, so he couldn't help but ask: "Since the general has already agreed, why can't he send troops?" ”
Han Qing sighed: "Your Majesty's approval is required for the army to go out, and then the prime minister will use the seal, and the big Sima will give an order!" Or His Majesty can give the tiger talisman, but this expedition to Wuhuan, Xianbei and other places is not in the military plan of our Han Dynasty, so we can't send troops. ”
"How can you do it without sending troops? Although each merchant has guards, they can't resist the Wuhuan and Xianbei armies no matter what! How many people would have to die if they just went like that? The more Meng Fangtian spoke, the more excited he became, and he forgot his identity for a while: "The general is not acting according to the agreement, and it is a violation of the spirit of the contract!" The villain is not convinced! ”
"Ahem!" Han Qing hurriedly coughed: "Shopkeeper Meng is cautious!" ”
Su Ren waved his hand: "It's okay, shopkeeper Meng, when you came to me, I just stretched out five fingers and you ran away, now I see that I didn't promise you anything, I have to respect the promise, right?" ”
Meng Fangtian was snorted by Han Qing, and he already knew that he had said the wrong thing: "The general atonements, the villain is talking nonsense!" However, the villain is really worried that we businessmen alone may not be able to complete the general's plan! Please also ask the general to help more. ”
Su Ren took a deep breath, signaled Meng Fangtian to be calm, and turned his head to look at Xie Baichuan: "Old General Xie is fifty-eight this year, right?" ”
Xie Baichuan stroked his beard: "The general has a good memory, the old man is indeed eight out of fifty, and he has been in this county for thirty years, this battle is the last battle of the old man, he is old, he can no longer carry a knife, he can't climb the horse, and he can't go into battle to kill the enemy!" ”
"The old general is in good spirits, don't worry." Su Ren smiled: "A few days ago, I received the news of going to the sick, Ling Lang Zichang was brave in this battle, and the battle was seventy-eight levels, which is really terrifying, and the illness has already guaranteed me to promote Ling Lang as a captain, hehehe, this kid himself is a school captain, so he will promote others to be school captains, which is really ridiculous." ”
Xie Baichuan followed Su Ren and smiled: "This kid is stubborn, he has gained a lot from following Captain Huo, and he can rest assured that he can live for a long time, even if he dies, he is worthy of the ancestors of the Xie family, and he finally did not insult the door." ”
"The old general has made great contributions in this battle, I have already played Your Majesty, I don't know if the old general is going to return to Chang'an or continue to stay in Daijun?"
Xie Baichuan got up and saluted: "The general is kind and old-fashioned, and I am afraid that I will not adapt to Chang'an if I have lived in Daijun for a long time, so it is better to stay in Daijun!" In addition, the old man has one thing to ask for, and he also asks the general to fulfill it. ”
"Old general, but it's okay to talk about it!"
Xie Baichuan saluted again: "Although the men of my Daijun are not seriously injured in this battle, there are many who have followed the old man to fight for half his life, since the Huns no longer dare to offend my big man, the old man wants to ask the general for personal favors, so that those elderly soldiers will retire with the old man, and it is good that An Ansheng has lived the second half of his life, it is not a secret, some people are over thirty years old and have not yet had a post, and they really can't bear to let them go to the battlefield again." ”
Su Ren got up and helped Xie Baichuan up: "The old general knows the soldiers and people, and I can't do it!" Well, then it is decided, and those who are in their thirties voluntarily decide to stay by themselves. Turning around: "Captain Lei, you're over thirty, right?" ”
Lei was stunned: "Eh! Yes, the subordinates are thirty-eight. ”
"And what does Captain Thunder think?"
Lei was inexplicably asked, and he didn't know how to answer: "My subordinates think I'm still ......"
"Ahem!" Han Qing coughed twice to interrupt Lei Fu's answer. Liu Jian hurriedly said: "Captain Lei should indeed have a good rest, since we came here, we have been worrying about it for so many years, after several lives and deaths, and now life is not easy to come by, I decided to go to Daijun with General Xie, I don't know if General Xie welcomes it?" ”
"Hahaha...... Liu Duwei is my good son, and he has fought side by side with the old man, Liu Duwei can go, and the old man's house is full of glory."
Liu Jian pulled Lei and was beaten: "Brother Lei, go together, go together!" ”
A few people are happy, a few are sad, a few people are confused, and a few people are transparent, and the largest disarmament in the history of the Han Dynasty was decided by Su Ren. However, this is easier said than done, and no matter what dynasty it is, the leader will never allow anyone under his command to dictate to the army, let alone allow anyone to disband his army without permission. Su Ren wanted to go through many steps to disarm.
First of all, Su Ren had to get the consent of Emperor Liu Che, and then submit it to the prime minister to organize the court discussion, and there was no objection to everything, which would be approved by Da Sima, and the most important thing was to be reunited by the Chinese military government. There can be no one to oppose in a circle, but if you can't get through in one department, let alone disarmament, and dare to let a soldier leave, you will be punished for rebellion and exterminate the nine clans.
With Su Ren's disarmament, there was also a long note sent to Chang'an, which was longer than Zhang Huazhi's. Liu Che took half an hour, and his arm was numb before he finished reading. Throwing the bamboo slip to the ground casually, he moved his sore arm and gave Liu Jiqing a look: "Take it down, let a few people take a look, Su Ren has never written a song, this time he actually got such a big bundle, by the way, how many catties?" ”
"Your Majesty, thirty-eight pounds!"
"Thirty-eight pounds, I'm really tired of looking at my arms, I guess it must not have been written by Su Ren, I still recognize his handwriting that can't be held on the table."
"Hahaha......"
Jianzhang Palace is more lively today, and the emperor is happy to win the battle, so from time to time some people will gather to share the emperor's happiness. The prime minister must be there every time, and today came the imperial historian Wang Hui, the court captain Zhang Tang, and the emperor's uncle Tian Wei. This is the first time in the past few years that the emperor has summoned Tian Wei, and the happy Tian Wei has come running around, and his mouth has not been closed since he received the order.
After reading it, Dou Ying handed it to Wang Hui, the imperial historian opposite, with an expressionless face. Wang Hui only glanced at it, the expression on his face was wrong, and he looked at Liu Che in horror: "Your Majesty, this Su Ren is too bold, the minister is ......"
Liu Che waved his hand: "Aiqing will read it first, and then let everyone else take a look, and after they have seen it, we will discuss this matter again." ”
Tian Wei now has no power or position, only the title of Marquis of Wu'an is still on his head, which can let him see the grace of heaven that has been calculated. When Tian Wei produced a heavy bamboo slip, he first gave a salute to the rest of the people, and then he read Su Ren's recital. After reading more than ten sentences, Tian Wei's sweat came down, and he didn't see that half of his back was already soaked. He didn't want to watch the rest anymore, but if he didn't watch it at this time, he was afraid it would be too late, so he had to grit his teeth and watch the whole recital.
"Wu Anhou? Can you read it? ”
"Ahh Oh, back to Your Majesty, the minister has finished reading. Tian Wei hurriedly put the bamboo slips together and held them to Liu Jiqing with both hands.
"Then you can talk about it first, right?"
"Ugh!" Tian Wei was stunned on the spot, he didn't make a sound for a long time, and he didn't even breathe.
"Your Majesty! The minister has something to say! Wang Hui glanced at Tian Wei with contempt, turned his head and saluted Liu Che: "Your Majesty, the hussar general is proud of the emperor's grace, crazy with military power, and contemptuous with intelligence, Your Majesty, the minister does not doubt the hussar general's loyalty to His Majesty, but the hussar general is not a great general, the second is not a great Sima, and the third is not the Chinese military government. ”
"What does the prime minister think?"
Dou Ying took a deep breath: "The old minister thinks that it is more appropriate to talk to the hussar general face to face on this matter, and it is difficult to understand the hussar general's deep meaning based on this note alone." ”
"Zhang Tang, you say!"
Zhang Tang hurriedly got up: "The minister doesn't understand this matter, and there is no objection, but, Your Majesty, the minister also came out of Louguan Academy, and he is considered a disciple of the hussar general. ”
"What?"
"The hussar general once said that there are not many soldiers!" After saying this, Zhang Tang cautiously rolled his upper eyelids and secretly looked at Liu Che.
