Chapter 65

"Yes! I don't want people in my family to pay too much attention to this, just let them control the price of raw silk and not let others interfere! Chen Yun said lazily to Gan Dang.

Rows of infantry on the school field sweated under the supervision of Yuli and the other four, and their phalanx, combining the advantages of the East and the West, not only had spears, javelins, bows and arrows, but also catapults and ballista carts.

The coordination of infantry and cavalry is the most important issue in all armies, and without good training, combat effectiveness must not be improved.

Although the cavalry of Dayue City originated from the Xiongnu mercenaries, the cavalry of the Jin people was more disciplined and organized, and Yuli and others also brought the tactics of Western rangers.

Long Er and Zhuge Xiaomin sat on the viewing platform, and behind them was Zuo Yong, who was standing.

"Military division, although these soldiers are fine, but the number is too small, there were originally many soldiers in Dayue City, but now it has been reduced to 2,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, I am afraid of ......"

"General Long, three thousand cavalry in the Western Regions is already a behemoth, Dayue City can't afford too many soldiers, and we need more farmers."

Long Er was not very satisfied with Xiao Min's explanation, but at this time, his subordinates reported that Zu Chong had returned to Dayue City, and Long Er was shocked, knowing that Sima Dan must be messing around again.

******

Xiao Min asked Zu Chong: "Why don't you see the prince?" ”

"The subordinates were ordered by the prince to bring back this hundred god armor soldiers, they not only protected the prince, but also dissuaded General Cao's army at Yumen Pass, it is estimated that General Cao's envoy will be here soon."

So he reported it truthfully.

Xiao Min shook his head: "General Zu's duty is to protect the crown prince, but why did he bring troops back?" Come on, take General Zu down first, and deal with it after the investigation is clear! ”

Everyone trusted Zu Chong very much, but they didn't expect Xiao Min to suddenly turn his face, and he was stunned on the spot for a while, Long Er hurriedly shouted: "Slow!" ”

"What did General Long say?" Xiao Min's tone was cold.

"Military advisor, General Zu is also under the order of the prince, and the prince relies on General Zu as the humerus, and the soldiers of General Zu are the pillars of our Dayue City......"

"Let's stay, General Long's words, is it that Dayue City can't investigate him without General Zu?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Army...... Division......? ”

"The Senate will definitely ask about this, and General Zu's family soldiers have three hundred people who have joined the cavalry of Dayue City, these three hundred people are no longer his family soldiers, and the other seven hundred General Zu and the crown prince still have to find a way to feed them? …… General Zu, Dayue City is not the Dayue City of a certain family, detain you for investigation, as long as it is verified that General Zu is indeed ordered by the prince, it will be returned, and the Senate may also appoint General Zu as the general of Dayue, and also lead the foot cavalry, I don't know what General Zu wants? ”

Zu Chong hurriedly knelt down, "Zu is willing to be investigated!" I am also willing to be loyal to Otsuki City! ”

"For the loyalty of Da Yue, you don't kneel to me, no one kneels to anyone else here, General Zu, your soldiers have occupied a big estate for you, I think they can definitely support themselves, they are full of talents, and they can also be used by Da Yue in the future."

******

Long Er had to obey Xiao Min's resoluteness, and the next day the Senate summoned Zu Chong's Shenjia soldiers, and the soldiers all testified that when the prince gave the order, everyone was present together, so that Zu Chong was appointed as a general by the Senate TongguΓ², under the consul Long Er and Lucky Star, because Lucky Star is only the inner consul, so Long Er is the leader of all the military forces in Dayue City.

"Distinguished sages and elders: our city-state is about to enter a state of war again. After a few months of repairs, our harvest for the next year should be able to meet our own needs, and people are taking their wives home, and I see many poopy women busy with their families in and out of the city, but it is impossible for a foreigner to allow us to make this a paradise for us.

More than ten days ago, the Yanqi refused to pay our taxes, and they carried a peace covenant and vowed to take back those happy Yanqi women. ”

"The Qiuzi people have also detained the queen's adopted son Shenmu as a hostage, and the Shelun Khan of Rouran has been called the Khan of Douva, and I believe that after he unifies the Rouran Alliance, he may impose heavy taxes on the Western Regions, and we must categorically refuse."

"Therefore, as the Outer Governor, I decree that from now on all men between the ages of seventeen and forty-five must undergo military training, and that every man who is required to serve in the military shall not be conscripted as soldiers by the state for no reason, but you must always be ready to fight for the country."

"Now we only have 3,000 full-time soldiers, and when war breaks out in the future, we will recruit more citizens, and the current training will be taken care of by the Shenjia soldiers who have just returned from the Rouran Grassland under General Zu, and the training will be as hard as daytime labor, but dear elders, you must let your constituents and relatives and friends understand that hard training is the only way to save your life......" The above is Long Er's speech in the Senate.

******

When Old Curi left the hall of the Senate, the rest of the Persian merchant senators of Persia gathered around:

"Our children are not cattle, we are businessmen, we have to walk all over the world every day, how can we participate in military training!"

"My son said that he almost wanted his life, and the domestic servant could not replace him!"

"All the business in our restaurant is dead at night? The bathroom is not visited either, who will compensate for the loss? ”

Old Curry was furious, "You didn't say it just now? Still clapping desperately? What is this? And also...... Long Er and the military advisor privately told me that if we were against it, we could talk, but now we all voted yes! ”

"This ...... Old Mr. Curry will talk to her again? General Long is just announcing her decree, what's the use of voting against it? ”

"Are you still not descendants of Darius? Our ancestors were warriors, so why did you become like this? ”

******

Lucky Star found the dragon ear and spit out bitterness: "Although the military advisor is only a veteran, her prestige is higher than that of the queen, and now she means that we children must receive military training, how can our skeletons withstand it?" There are a few nobles who want to vote against it in the Senate! ”

Long Er smiled, "That's good! The military advisers often say that our senators are too irresponsible, they don't speak much in meetings, and they don't oppose everything, so what's the difference from before, it's time for the senate to have an opposition! ”

"Huh! …… This...... The opposition is aristocratic as if ...... It's not just us, but old Curry tooβ€”"

"I know! You've also connected ......."

"General Dragon! We...... This ......"

"Lord Lucky Star, you are an archon, do you think that nobles should be exempt from military service?"

"No...... It's just that...... I've heard that the Romans don't have to serve as long as they pay for it! ”

"But when people fight, the nobles are at the forefront! …… All right! I'm going to talk to the military advisors that you can hire people to serve on your behalf and train as auxiliaries, but you can't find people who already have military service, but I know that you have a lot of young and strong slaves hidden when you declare the population, and now you can use ....... ”

The auspicious star was greatly embarrassed: "This ...... This ......"

"I can declare in advance: without the nobles who serve themselves, they will not be able to enter the Senate in the future, and the Senate in the future, the senators will be the people who once protected Dayue City with their flesh and blood!"

******

As an archon, Long Er is only an agent of Sima Dan's ruling group for the time being, but Sima Dan and Xiao Min are both people who sincerely want to implement the "republican system" in Dayue City, and their purpose is not only to govern Dayue City, but also to promote the development of the system.

Murong Ming was originally also a representative of the Jin group, and after entering the Senate, he turned his face with Sima Dan and others because of Chen Yun's affairs, and the subordinates he led to Dayue were originally Yanhou's people, and they either found a way to return to the Central Plains, or they had joined Long'er's camp, and now he was alone, but he couldn't forget Sima Dan's "humiliation" to himself.

But Murong Ming is Murong Ming after all, and there is no shortage of women everywhere.

At this time, he was sleeping on the bed of Jiabao's maid Yinyin.

Yin Yin couldn't feel Murong Ming's sprint at all, because she was so obsessed with the extremely handsome face that she was close to the ruler, she held Murong Ming's sweaty face with both hands, and only occasionally felt a burst of pleasure before she screamed softly like a kitten.

Afterwards, Yin Yin caressed Murong Ming's chest and sighed leisurely.

"Sigh what?"

"Ahh Thought you were asleep. ”

"You're plucking my chest hair, it's strange if you don't wake up."

"Hey! I couldn't help but pull one out, it was so fragrant. ”

"Incense? You're fragrant too! The two embraced each other again.

"Hey! Didn't you say something to me? ”

"Ahh I almost forgot about it! Murong Ming pretended to be affectionate.

"Don't arrange for you to see the queen like last time, she scolded me to death!"

"Hah! Because she's angry with her man, it has nothing to do with me. ”

"Why did she ...... Hum! Not mad at you? ”

"Humph! The status of the crown prince of Jin can protect her kingdom. ”

"I'm not talking about it...... I mean, you must be secret...... I'm angry with her, isn't she, she's also a slut. ”

"Maybe it's because she's so!" Thinking of Chen Yun, Murong Ming's heart was furious again.

"Why, sue me! …… Sue me! Yin Yin couldn't understand, and asked desperately, in her heart, all women in the world should fall in love with Murong Ming.

Murong Ming was annoyed, "Didn't you ask me if I had anything serious?" ”

"Humph! Something must be hiding from me! All right! What's the matter? People are also anxious about your business! ”

"I'm going to ...... Take the key to the authentic Otsuki Castle! ”

******

"Congratulations to the emperor, it's the emperor's eldest son!" The string of pipes shouted the good news.

Sima Tong, the Emperor of Longding, came to wait, and the ministers surrounded the emperor like stars and moons, and when they heard the cry of the strings, everyone's expressions became strange.

Congratulations come and go, even if you have other plans in mind, you must pretend at this time.

In the end, the position of the eldest son of the emperor still fell into the hands of the royal concubine, but Wang Chen, the son of Princess Ziyang, was also after the Wang family, and the factional disputes within the Wang family were no less than those of the royal family.

The current crown prince Sima Dan's position is even more dangerous, and no one thinks that this powerless person can finally ascend to the throne.

Sima Tong's face was full of red light, but he did not get carried away by the joy, he looked at the ministers who had their own concerns, and said leisurely: "I have been forced by the ministers for many years, and you are more anxious than the people of the Sima family on the issue of establishing a prince!"

"Although there is the eldest son of the emperor today, but the position of the prince has been established, Dan'er is not only the prince, but also for the country, to risk his life, I can't bear to bear him, now declare the decree, the prince Dan has both benevolence and martial arts, Queen Chen's love and pity, and the prince Dan has been unkind since childhood, so the prince Dan is the son, since then, the prince Dan is no longer my nephew, but the son of me and the queen, I treat it better than my own son, and the crown prince is crowned as the general Han King, and the king seal of the palace is given."

The ministers were shocked.

The so-called Kaifu Wang Yin, after the rebellion of the Eight Kings, never had it in this dynasty, outside Chang'an, only the Marquis of Wei, the Marquis of Zhao, the Marquis of Yan has the right to open the mansion, can set up their own government, command hundreds of officials, to suppress the Huns, but they are only marquis, not the king, not the king of the same surname, with the authority of the prince, plus the seal of the king of the palace, it can be described as the dignity of the land and the territory.

The general is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and has the right to open the government and govern, which is more powerful than sealing a Han king, but when the Han king is also called the general, the prestige is far greater than the general's mansion.

******

General Xie Xin is now forty-five, just in the prime of life, the ancestors of the Xie family, Xie An, Xie Xuan, etc., when the Qiang people and Xianbei were recidivists, they were all independent generals, but the difference between the Xie family and the other four major families is that they never compete for power and profit in the court, and the family is still rooted in Jiankang, but Xie Xin only took the post of general after Sima Tong's many invitations.

Qing Qu's thin Xie Xin was facing the saint in the imperial study, Sima Tong asked him to sit down, and slowly stated his recital: "The first king had the weight of a general, and once divided the tiger talisman into two, and held it with the left and right generals, and now the emperor has set up the king of Han as the general, and the ministers thought that the system of the left and right generals should be restored, and ...... Another DΓ  family is chosen to hold the position of the right general, so that the inside and outside can be safe. ”

Sima Tong was silent, his face expressionless.

Xie Xin saw that the emperor was silent, and said: "The crown prince inherits the respect of the great unification, and has been supporting troops for many years, which can not only shock the court...... Cough...... People with active minds can better isolate those in the court who are in a hurry to achieve success and provoke the feelings of the emperor's father and son. ”

Sima Tong finally opened his mouth: "I heard that Rome in the west, its crown prince will accumulate prestige in the army, and because of his strength, he will not be in a hurry to ascend the throne...... I don't know if it's yes or no. ”

Xie Xin didn't expect the emperor to suddenly open his heart, and his heart was shocked, "I don't dare to make a judgment on things outside the wilderness, but ...... He believed that they had a reason for doing so. ”

"But Xie Qing doesn't want to let my expectations be disappointed?"

"Minister...... The minister didn't dare, but although the Xie family was a general, they never supported any private soldiers, so compared with the prince's prestige, it didn't seem to ...... There is no ability to check and balance each other! ”

"General Xie doesn't need to say much, the general is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, how can it be said that there is no prestige? The crown prince and General Xie are called generals, but the tiger talisman is still in the hands of the general, how can the prince's general be compared with General Erzhi? Step back now! I rely on the general as the humerus, and the general will not live up to me. ”

******

Sima Yan angrily found Empress Chen: "Why are you still here?" ”

Empress Chen was lying in a huge white marble bath, enjoying the hot springs, "Why am I not here?" ”

"I walked for two days and two nights to get here, and I didn't expect you to enjoy it like this."

"There is this "love pool" in the palace, you naturally don't know that I can enjoy it so much, you see, if it snows here in a few days, you will know what is a fairyland on earth.

"You really don't care about the matter of the emperor's eldest son? What about the princess? You're not afraid of herβ€”"

"Shut up! …… Don't spoil today's good weather! Empress Chen desperately suppressed her anger.

"Still pretending it's okay? Scold! It turns out that there is a cheap prince son, and he will really be happy with the gods, hehe! Sima Yan didn't let go of Queen Chen.

Empress Chen was furious, "What do you want me to do? It's so hard to hide the old man! Why do I give him so many rewards every year? Bah! Why don't you ignore the world? Enjoy my current glory? ”

"Glory now? Oh, yes! It's to cherish it, I'm afraid it won't last long, the emperor accompanies Wang Jing's slut every day, you can enjoy the glory that won't last long! ”

"Bold, Sima Yan...... You...... You! "How could the queen ever be so stimulated? In the blink of an eye, I almost went crazy.

"Queen...... The queen is angry! Sima Yan sighed, "I'm just doing this to wake you up, the queen is still under one person, above ten thousand, there is a lot of power available in her hands, and the family is strong, so why bother to be arrogant?" Please think clearly! ”

"You keep saying that I am still the queen, is the emperor ...... What was said? ”

"The eldest son of the emperor is not the crown prince, if one day it is, how can there be a queen among these **...... Location? ”

"Queen...... Location? Yes! Empress Chen screamed, and suddenly fainted in the pool, and the maid hurriedly helped her.
