Chapter 285: A Summons from the Imperial Court
"Yes, this guy Ling Fox Wing is really speechless, this time we only lost less than a thousand men and horses in this raid, but we wiped out all the food and supplies of the Kominis, I think what will that Solon look like when he sees a supply base in ruins? It must be beating your chest and wanting to cry without tears, haha, it's so cool. By the way, division commander, after you go back, you must ask Lord Qin for merit for Linghu Yi. Chen Deming's black and red face was lit up with excitement.
Shangguan Yonglun nodded with satisfaction, to be honest, he was very satisfied with his assistants, after two years of training, they have become capable talents who can take charge of themselves. Chen Deming's style is brave and tenacious, and he is thick and fine, quite knowledgeable, and has the demeanor of a general; The chief of staff makes Fox Wing cool-headed, good at planning, and has a unique vision, often has extraordinary plans, and can always receive excellent results; Qu Bo, director of the logistics department, was promoted from the rank of wing commander to accumulate military merits, and not only could perfectly complete his own work, but also had considerable military skills, and was a rare all-round cadre.
What satisfied Shangguan Yonglun the most was that several people were able to unite as one, and they cooperated with each other very tacitly, so that the combat effectiveness of the Second Army Corps had the posture of secluding in the position of several main forces in Qin Duan.
"Deming, let's camp here today, although the danger zone has been removed, be careful, you go and arrange a vigilance."
"Okay." Chen Deming's eyes were still firmly fixed on the west.
Just as Qin Duan set off for Shuangduiji, Liang Qiming, who stayed in the northwest, also received an official letter from the imperial capital cabinet.
Frowning and slowly reading the content of the letter, Liang Qiming calmed down and handed the letter to Su Qin, who was sitting next to him.
Although Su Qin has not yet clarified his official position and work, Qin Duan and Liang Qiming have already included him in it. Qin Du firmly believes in his own principles, and he does not doubt the use of people, and does not use doubtful people. Once decided, he was boldly appointed, and when he left the northwest to go to Loulan, he clearly instructed Su Qin to assist Liang Qiming in handling the important military and political affairs of the entire northwest, and the high position of his position can be seen. Su Qin was also very moved, and did his best to assist Liang Qiming in handling the affairs of the Northwest, and did not slack off at all.
Seeing that Su Qin had finished reading the letter. Liang Qiming turned his gaze to Su Qin's face: "Brother Su, what do you think about this matter?" ”
After thinking silently for a moment, Su Qin said: "Two days ago, we received the news from the imperial capital, I didn't expect the efficiency of the imperial court to become so high, in my opinion, the matter of your lord's expedition to Loulan this time must have caused a lot of turmoil in the court." ”
"Yes, the adults are young and promising, their words and deeds are unique, and they are disliked by many people in the court, and the adults have always been friendly with the lower classes. It is even more hated by those conservative nobles in the court, and if people with ulterior motives stir up trouble in it, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble this time. ”
Liang Qiming nodded approvingly and said, "Before I set out for Loulan, I also raised this question to my lord, and at that time, my lord also agreed with my opinion, maybe the lord also made other arrangements." ”
"Well, our northwest foundation is still shallow. It is also necessary to establish good relations with the imperial court, and many issues related to the national economy and people's livelihood still have to rely on the empire. Adults are thoughtful. I think I should take this into account, there are pros and cons to going to Loulan, but I think overall this time is still a good choice, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, even if it is worth taking some risks, maybe miss this opportunity. It's hard to come across this kind of opportunity again. ”
Because Su Qin was not in charge of specific affairs, from the analysis of the expedition alone, he was in favor of seizing the opportunity to expand his power, and he also knew that Liang Qiming was not very in favor of this expedition.
"Brother Su, you don't know anything. I'm not stupid. Didn't I know this was a great opportunity? I also hope that we can do our best to develop strong, not to mention that Beiloulan is still a treasure land rich in products, but now the finances of the northwest have reached the point of difficulty. As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first. The first thing to do when fighting a war is to talk about logistics support, then it costs money, fighting a war is consumption, fighting is money, of course, adults have also said that it is necessary to fight a war in order to obtain more benefits, but it will take a while to convert the benefits into cash, unless you can directly obtain monetary compensation. ”
Liang Qiming explained with a wry smile, "Don't hide it from Brother Su, now the finances are only enough to maintain normal operation for three months, if there is really any natural disaster ~ disaster, there is really no way to deal with it." ”
"It's really embarrassing for Lord Liang, but it's December now, as far as the current situation is concerned, the weather in our northwest is quite normal, even if there is a big snowstorm, our northwest agriculture is mainly farming, and there will not be much loss." I heard from the people from the Economic Development Department that they have asked Qingyang to prepare the herders in the northwest corner of their land, including the Yuli people, to winter and prevent disasters, and there should be no major trouble. ”
Su Qin nodded understandingly, after all, the foundation in the northwest is thin, there are no reserves, and the tax reduction and exemption policy to stimulate the economic development is implemented, and there are many wars in the northwest, so it can be maintained to this point, I don't know how much thought it took Liang Qiming.
"Alas, I hope that my lord can make a profit on this expedition and make up for the consumption of this expedition, and I am thankful. By the way, let's not talk about these digressions, let's discuss this matter at hand. We must report it to the Lord at once, and ask him to return immediately, and this letter is urgent. Liang Qiming shook his head and returned to the topic.
"Well, I have to let the adults know immediately, and I don't know what the details of Loulan's situation are, the news that I came back the day before yesterday said that I have basically controlled the entire North Loulan, and there should be no big problems. But the adults may have to stay there for a while, and a lot of work has already begun, and I am afraid that it will not work without him. Su Qin analyzed carefully.
"Although the official document of the cabinet is urgent, it also takes into account the actual situation here, anyway, it is less than two months before the Spring Festival, and it is okay to go back to report before the Spring Festival. Beiloulan has just been calmed down, and there must be a lot of things, and there are no adults in charge, so many things are difficult to settle in time. Yesterday, Mu Haoran had already sent someone in advance to ask me to allocate some more people for him, and the lord intended to ask him to serve as the city guard of Vito City and manage the entire Northeast Loulan region. ”
Liang Qiming also muttered, "This Northwest Loulan also wants to build a heart city, I don't know how much financial and material resources it will cost, but if you don't build it, you can't do it, I think adults will also be worried." (To be continued......)
