Chapter 1008: What to do with the Wuyi Battalion
After Xie An left the palace hall, he returned to his mansion as soon as possible, and along the way, Xie An kept thinking that since the emperor and the queen mother did not object to the move of the capital, then what he had to do next was to try his best to appease the scholars in Jiangnan.
Soon, Xie An arrived at his mansion, and as soon as he entered the mansion, he was surprised to find that his henchmen did not leave, but were anxiously waiting for him in the mansion.
"Gong Xie is back, Gong Xie is back." Seeing Xie An enter the mansion, all his henchmen hurriedly greeted him.
At this time, it was already late in the morning, and it was very late, seeing that the henchmen still hadn't left, Xie An hurriedly said: "It's so late, why are you still here." ”
Obviously, before being summoned into the palace by the emperor, Xie An asked them to put their actions on hold on the grounds that it was late and the situation in the palace was unclear.
"Duke Xie, the emperor suddenly summoned us, we were worried, so we decided to wait here for Duke Xie to come back, so that we could know what happened at the first time?" One of the subordinates whispered.
"Yes! Gong Xie, we are all very worried in our hearts, by the way, I don't know what important thing the emperor is in a hurry to summon Gong Xie! Another henchman said.
Seeing that all the henchmen under his command had worried expressions, Xie An smiled lightly and said softly: "It's nothing important for the emperor to summon this official, it's just that some villains slander this official in front of the emperor, and now that it has been explained clearly, you don't have to worry." ”
Obviously, Xie An felt that the clansmen were selling off their properties in large numbers. It's just a small thing, and there is no need to say it at all.
Seeing Xie An's relaxed expression, all the henchmen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Gong Xie, what we originally discussed, will we start implementing it tomorrow?" A sub-hearted person asked.
Xie An nodded and said, "Yiqiē will be carried out according to the original plan, and you will be early tomorrow morning." It is necessary to immediately act separately, and it is necessary to inform all the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River of all the policies of the Northern King, so that they can support the relocation of the capital to Luoyang City. ”
"Yes, Gong Xie." The abdomen of the hearts is right.
"Alright, it's getting late, you all go back and rest!" Xie An waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stand back.
Hearing the order, all the henchmen immediately retreated and left Xie An's mansion together. And each went home.
Early in the morning of the second day, Xie An and his subordinates launched an action at the same time, they were responsible for persuading different families, and according to the characteristics of different families, persuading them to support the relocation of the capital to Luoyang City, at least, to keep them from fierce opposition. In order to enable the implementation of the capital relocation plan to be carried out smoothly.
However, Xie An's forecast is too optimistic. After a few days of persuasion, not all the scholars in Jiangnan supported the relocation of the capital, and only half of them clearly expressed their support for the relocation of the capital. If the relocation of the capital really happens, there is no telling what kind of turmoil will occur in Jiangnan.
And this qiē made Xie An quite worried, after all, Xie An's political ideal was that the Great Jin Dynasty could prosper and develop. And there is no more fratricidal turmoil, and now, the turmoil in Jiangnan is already brewing, and if it is not handled properly, it is very likely that unpredictable consequences will occur.
At Xie An's mansion, Xie An once again gathered with his henchmen, and they had to discuss how to deal with the current dangerous situation.
At this time, if it does not support the relocation of the capital, it is very likely that Hua'an will go south, which will cause great turmoil, and if it supports the relocation of the capital, then those scholars who strongly oppose the relocation of the capital are also very likely to create chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, and may even intercept the people and horses who moved the capital, thus causing unpredictable consequences.
These two kinds of turmoil are the results that Xie An does not want to see, so he must try his best to avoid these two kinds of turmoil, and consult with his henchmen to find this kind of countermeasure.
Xie An looked at the henchmen under his command, and said earnestly: "This official never thought that there were so many scholars who opposed the relocation of the capital regardless of the overall situation, so it is very likely that there will be turmoil in Jiangnan!" After speaking, he frowned.
"Gong Xie, now that the overall situation of moving the capital to Luoyang City has been decided, no matter how many people oppose it, we must unswervingly promote the relocation of the capital, and we must not stop preparing because of the opposition of some vested interests." A henchman, Masashi said.
"Yes! Gong Xie, as long as we can firmly control all the armies in the south of the Yangtze River, then if these scholars who oppose the relocation of the capital want to make trouble, they will have to weigh it. Another henchman, Masase, said.
Obviously, this henchman meant that as long as he controlled the military power, he could control the situation in Jiangnan, so that the scholars who wanted to get in the way would not dare to act rashly.
In other words, the relocation must be recognized by the officers and soldiers of the Yangzhou Legion, and only in this way can the smooth progress of the relocation of the capital be ensured.
When Xie An heard this, he nodded approvingly, and said: "Jiangnan is dominated by the naval army, and Han Yong, the governor of the naval army, and most of the generals under his command support the relocation of the capital, but there are still many generals in the army who do not support the relocation of the capital, and the military power of these people must be removed immediately, so as not to become a tool for some scholars to make trouble." ”
When the henchmen heard this, they immediately nodded in agreement, at this critical moment, stabilizing the army is the top priority at present, however, the affairs in the army, Han Yong, Xie Shi, Wang Biantou and others are in charge, the problem will not be too big, Xie An and the henchmen under his command are still relatively relieved about this.
Subsequently, Xie An sent his henchmen to the naval army camp to tell Han Yong and Xie Shi that they must take full control of the entire naval army at any cost, and must not let the 100,000 naval army fall into chaos, and warned them that those generals who oppose the relocation of the capital must be imprisoned first to prevent them from causing chaos.
Of course, in addition to the most important naval battalion, Xie An also sent henchmen to control the rest of the soldiers and horses, among them, the Wuyi battalion, which was in charge of the Suwei Jing Division, was the most important of these soldiers and horses.
For the soldiers of the Wuyi Battalion, Xie An felt very anxious. Although they have not experienced much actual combat and their combat effectiveness should not be very strong, these Wuyi battalions are well-equipped and are responsible for guarding the capital and the imperial palace, so their status is very important. And once the imperial court decides to move the capital to Luoyang City, it is really difficult to say whether these Wuyi battalions who are responsible for guarding the palace will be able to obtain their previous status and treatment, after all, after moving the capital to Luoyang City, Hua'an is likely to let his henchmen and horses be in charge of the palace, and these Wuyi battalion soldiers. Naturally, they lost the opportunity to guard the palace, and they were likely to become ordinary troops, which was naturally intolerable to these soldiers of the Wuyi battalion, after all, as the guards of the palace and the capital, their status and treatment were incomparable to all other armies, and they lost their qualifications to become guards, and their status and treatment were bound to be reduced a lot. It doesn't feel good to put it on anyone.
Moreover, these black-clothed battalion soldiers. Most of them are composed of the scholars and servants of the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, among them, the officers of the Wuyi battalion are naturally the children of the scholars, and those low-level big-headed soldiers are the servants under the management of these scholars. They are stained with the light of their masters, and they can enter the Wuyi battalion as errands, so as to obtain a relatively high status, and some of the best can become low-level officers of the Wuyi battalion. It's not majestic.
Therefore, in the entire south of the Yangtze River, the Wuyi battalion is the most loyal army to the scholars, let them guard the capital and the palace, the royal family and the scholars are very relieved, after all, as the servants of the scholars and the scholars, what they want to protect is the interests of the scholars, and the scholars fully support the royal family, for this reason, they are naturally the henchmen of the royal family.
However, these soldiers of the Wuyi battalion also care about their own interests, if their interests are greatly damaged, they are also reluctant, for example, depriving them of their guard qualifications, they are very unhappy, and even, it is very likely that under the instigation of some scholars who do not agree to move the capital, they will launch a rebellion, and the Wuyi battalion controls the capital and the palace, once the chaos starts, the consequences are unimaginable.
"The Wuyi camp is a big problem, if you can't stabilize the Wuyi camp, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Xie An said worriedly.
"Duke Xie, once the imperial court moves to Luoyang City, the Northern King will never look at the Wuyi camp to control Luoyang City and the palace, so the position of the Wuyi camp will become extremely embarrassing, how can this be good!" A heart man said worriedly.
Obviously, this subordinate has realized that the Wuyi battalion is about to encounter a setback, and the generals of the Wuyi battalion will naturally be aware of this problem, so in order to prevent their position from being threatened, they are likely to unite with some scholars and fully oppose the imperial court's plan to move the capital to Luoyang City, which will seriously threaten the current overall situation, and even cause unpredictable turmoil in the Jiangnan region, especially the core area of the Wuyi camp to control the core area of Gyeonggi. The royal family and ministers are completely under the control of the Wuyi camp, and once the Wuyi camp makes a move, the important ministers of the court and the royal family, including Xie An, will be under house arrest, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Gong Xie, the affairs of the Wuyi Camp must be handled carefully, if you are not careful, the consequences will be unimaginable!" A heart is under the abdomen, Zhengse reminded.
Xie An nodded and said, "Yes!" The matter of the Wuyi camp is the most tricky to move the capital this time, and the official has not thought of a proper countermeasure on how to settle the Wuyi camp. After speaking, he looked at his henchmen.
"Gong Xie, no matter what, we must not let the status and fortune of the soldiers of the Wuyi Battalion decline, only in this way can we appease the soldiers of the Wuyi Battalion!" A heart under the abdomen, Masase said.
When Xie An heard this, he said helplessly: "How can this official not know this truth, but the Wuyi Battalion is the guard of the palace and the capital, if the capital is moved to Luoyang City, how can the King of the North agree to let the Wuyi Battalion control Luoyang City and the palace?" It's almost impossible! After speaking, he showed a very helpless expression.
Obviously, no matter how you think about it, Xie An feels that Hua'an will not allow the Wuyi Battalion to still play the role of the Guards after the capital is moved to Luoyang City, after all, if all the guards of Luoyang City and the palace are handed over to the Wuyi Battalion, Hua'an will have no say in Luoyang City, so Hua'an will naturally not agree.
"Duke Xie, the matter of the Wuyi camp is extremely tricky, and it must not be taken lightly, if Duke Xie has not thought of a proper countermeasure, it is better to go to the inn outside the city and discuss with the general Pingbei sent by the King of the North, in this way, maybe you can think of a better way." A heart under the abdomen, is built yì road.
Obviously, this confidant's subordinate felt that since he couldn't think of a proper way, it was better to go and discuss with Wang San, after all, Wang San was a confidant sent to Jiangnan by Hua'an, and he might be able to provide better advice, and they might be able to negotiate with Wang San on terms and fight for more rights and interests for the scholars and soldiers in Jiangnan.
When Xie An heard this, he felt that it made a lot of sense, so he said with a straight face: "Good idea, why did the official forget about this stubble?" A few of you will immediately accompany your official out of the city. With that, he strode out of the main hall.
Several henchmen followed behind Xie An, left Xie An's mansion, and ran towards the inn not far from the city.
Soon, Xie An and several of his henchmen arrived at the inn more than ten miles outside the city and went straight upstairs.
Just when Xie An and his party arrived on the street, Wang San's personal soldiers discovered them and immediately reported to Wang San.
"General, Xie Tingshi, they are here again." A pro-soldier, Masashi reported.
Hearing this, Wang San strode to the window and saw Xie An and his party walking towards the inn.
"Looks like they're in trouble." Wang San said a word, and immediately ordered: "Open the door and prepare to welcome Xie Tingshi." ”
When the soldiers heard the order, they immediately opened the door, and at this moment, Xie An and his henchmen had already walked up, only five or six steps away from the door.
"I've seen Xie Thorn Shi." Wang San hugged his fists and saluted.
"General Wang, this official has come this time because he has something important to discuss." Xie An was not polite, and said bluntly.
"Xie Tingshi needs help with something, just tell the last general." Wang San hurriedly replied.
Xie An nodded with satisfaction, and told Wang San about the embarrassing position of Wuyi Camp after the capital was moved, and sought Wang San's opinion.
When Wang San heard this, he lowered his head and pondered, this situation, when he was in Luoyang City, he and Hua An had already carefully considered it, and made a bold decision for this, but Wang San felt that this decision was too risky, so when they met for the first time, he did not tell Xie An, and expected Xie An to use other methods to appease the Wuyi camp, and now Xie An has stood in front of him, which is enough to prove that Xie An did not find a better way to appease the Wuyi camp.
