Chapter 417: The Great General
Chapter 417: The Great General
Hearing Chen Baichuan's words, the most fierce reaction was the military generals of the DPRK and China, who either worked hard and were expected to fight for this position, or they were expected to compete for the backers behind them.
Their thoughts Chen Baichuan was very clear, he looked around at everyone, and repeated what he had just said word by word: "Your Majesty, Chen Baichuan is willing to take the power of his brother Chen Baili to protect Chen Guo as the general of Chen Guo." β
"You ......" The veterans dare not speak out, and no one knows the current power of the Chen family.
It was a Chen Baili who passed away, and half of the Chen family collapsed, and the weight of the remaining half of the country was not something they could leverage.
His Majesty King Chen, who was sitting on the throne in between, had a solemn face, and he clearly saw that Chen Baichuan's tone was firm, and he pointed to the heaven and earth outside the hall and asked: "Chen Aiqing, are you willing to defend the country of Chen?" β
Chen Baichuan's eyes never shifted, his hands were clenched into fists, and he said solemnly: "If the minister is a general, he should take it as his responsibility to protect my Chen country." β
"Okay, that widow will hand over your brother's unfinished business to you, and in the future, I will work hard to love Qing."
"Minister, thank you very much." Chen Baichuan had expected that King Chen would allow it, so he was not much surprised.
Seeing that they set the position of the general as soon as they sang and harmonized, of course the generals on the court were not convinced. You must know that the position of this great general commands the whole country, and the power is surging. The mountain on the head has finally been removed, who wants another cloud to cover the way to promotion and fortune?
Someone immediately came out and sang the opposite: "Your Majesty, the last general is not convinced." How could the position of a great general be decided so hastily. Chen Shangshu is just a civil official, how can he afford to take the position of a general? β
It's a pity that this guy who jumped out spoke at a low level, and he didn't get any benefits, and he offended the civil officials who were holding each of them to sweep the snow in front of the door.
Chen Guo was originally weaker because of a strong Chen Baili, and the voice of the civil official was weaker. Now that the general has passed away, this group of generals still wants to override them? Dream!
"What about civil officials, do you think that the general has relied on personal force to get to where he is today? It is not the general who reads poetry and books and is familiar with the art of war that can often defeat the enemy. You are a reckless man, don't you see the general elegant? β
"It's a joke, a weak civilian official, he still wants to lead the troops. Besides, you already have the power to govern the country, and you still want to usurp the military power, where is this Your Majesty? β
"Quibbling nonsense, worthy of the name of a reckless man."
β¦β¦
"Shut it all up."
Chen Baichuan stood in the center of the hall and continued to be silent, waiting for King Chen's next big rage.
Sure enough, as Chen Baichuan expected, His Majesty King Chen looked at the people in the city with ice in his eyes, and asked angrily: "Brother's inheritance, what's wrong with Chen Aiqing inheriting as a younger brother." What's more, when it comes to military exploits, how can you group of people be able to compare with Chen Aiqing? β
The crowd was silent.
"As for those who keep talking about civilian officials and military generals, it is even more rebellious. The widow is sitting in front of you, when will it be your turn to speak in the civil and military attachΓ©s of this Chen country. Forming a party for personal gain, you are a great rebel. β
"Damn it."
In the main hall, except for Chen Baichuan and Jiang Changyin, the rest of the people fell to the ground and did not dare to say much.
Chen Baichuan was expressionless and said, "Thank you, King Chen." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In Daling City, everyone was waiting in Daling Port, with a happy face.
Today is the day when the great general Chen Baichuan returns to Daling City, thinking of the kindness of Daling Province to become the first city of Chen State in just three years, the people are eager to give this noble man of Daling Province a longevity ranking.
A big ship in the port came slowly, and Chen Baichuan stood on the bow of the ship.
In the eyes of the prosperous scene of Daling City, Chen Baichuan looked at the rising Daling City, and his heart was complicated. This city has been closely related to him, his army has been raised in this city, and his presence has also greatly developed the entire Daling Province.
The sun shines evenly on the surface of the sea, except that sometimes the wind pushes the waves and the snow foam reflects the golden light, breaking into pieces in the air.
"After the general became a general three years ago, I heard that the whole person is different. Alas......"
"General Chen Baili's death hurt the general too much, and I heard that he was white-headed overnight at that time. It took three years to recuperate that hair now. β
"Alas......"
The boat docked, and Chen Baichuan followed the guards in front of him. He pays attention to pomp and circumstance, which is limited by his identity, and now that he is a general, he can't be as casual as before.
"General."
Chen Baichuan nodded slightly, as a response.
He went to the land of Longxing non-stop, and as soon as the banquet of the officials in the city was postponed, even Huang Shilong, an old subordinate, did not give face. The biggest purpose of his visit this time was in Longxing.
After seizing the military power of the whole country, Chen Baichuan was no longer inconvenient to meddle in local affairs. Even in the eyes of the whole country, Daling Province is Chen Baichuan's lair, and he at least retains his suspicion on the surface.
King Chen was willing to put the heavy responsibility of the general in his hands, but it was not without any conditions.
After three years, the land of Longxing is certainly not what it used to be. In the past three years, Chen Baichuan has been committed to the development of Longxing firearms and industry, and at this moment he does not dare to say that Chen Guo is the strongest country, but Chen Guo's weapons are definitely the most advanced.
In the land of Longxing, the scene in the eyes is very different from the memory. It should be said that every time Longxing has undergone earth-shaking changes.
"The last general has seen the general." Chu Hui stood in front of Chen Baichuan with a smile on his face. He knew that Chen Baichuan would bring good news this time.
"I have obtained the consent of King Chen. There are also discussions with Daheng. Chen Guo is no longer the same as before in front of Daheng, and Daheng will agree if he thinks about it. Chen Baichuan also smiled when he talked about it.
The north conquered the northern barbarians, and the south rejected the southern celebration. This is what Chen Baichuan and Chu Hui are talking about now.
It may sound incredible, in just three years, Chen Guo has gone from being bullied to now, and he has been able to bully other countries.
Chen Baili's death is absolutely inseparable from Qingguo, Chen Baichuan knows it very well in his heart. According to the descriptions of the soldiers present at the time, the country that can have both gunpowder and muskets has a great chance of being the hand of Qingguo.
Not to mention hatred, Qingguo also has firearms. The development of firearms is different from other things, and maybe one day the people of Qingguo will suddenly get a good idea. At that time, Chen Guo's current situation will be ruined.
"This time we must avenge the general." Chu Hui's eyes burst with hatred, and the general in his mouth was of course Chen Baili.
Chen Baichuan nodded: "This time, Chen Guo united as one and set out to celebrate the country. After the victory, I, Chen Guo, changed my previous weak name. I can be regarded as fulfilling one of my brother's wishes. β
