Chapter 235: The Expedition
Qu Tutong and Gu Yi are the highest-ranking ministers among the civil and military officials of Daxing Palace, and both of them agreed to let His Royal Highness the Acting King personally recruit at the same time, how can such a strange situation not be surprising.
This kind of abnormality, this made all the ministers calm down, Yin Shishi and Gu Yi are not fools who can do their official positions today, they must have a reason for doing this.
The hundred officials calmed down and suddenly found that they only saw the disadvantages of going on the expedition on behalf of the king, but did not take into account the great benefits of the expedition on behalf of the king.
Now that the acting king is in power, it is the time when he needs to make meritorious contributions and show his political achievements, and if the acting king personally leads his troops to defeat Li Yuan at this moment, his prestige will definitely increase.
And if there is a big chaos today, there are countless bandits in various places, not to mention Li Mi, a behemoth with millions of soldiers, although Li Yuan attacked Guanzhong, but the army was only 30,000, and the strength of Daxing City was far superior to him, and he made arrangements in advance, and the chance of winning was very great.
If even Daxing City can't even defeat Li Yuan's 30,000 army, then how can he talk about waving his army to the east and pacifying the world, His Royal Highness the Acting King is betting that Daxing City will win, so he will take the risk of conquest.
Thinking of this, everyone's thoughts couldn't help but come alive, maybe it is not a bad thing to go on the expedition on behalf of the king.
But another question came again, His Royal Highness the Acting King was only thirteen or fourteen years old, what should he do when the time came?
"If His Royal Highness the Acting King wants to go on an expedition, the last general will be willing to be the vanguard!" The Yin World Master holds his fists.
"On this expedition, this king is the main commander, General Yin is the deputy marshal to accompany him, and he dispatched 50,000 Guanzhong Xiaoguo, plus General Yao Junsu's 20,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 70,000, will definitely be able to defeat Li Yuan's rebels." Yang Yu said loudly.
Everyone's eyes lit up. That's it! If there is a Yin Shi Shi in front of him, His Royal Highness the Acting King does not understand military affairs, and he will definitely ask for the opinion of the Yin Shi Shi, but in fact, he is still in command of the Yin Shi Shi, and the acting king is only in name.
This not only ensured a military victory, but also made the king famous, which was not the best of both worlds.
Thinking of this, the hundred officials are no longer so opposed to the matter of His Royal Highness the Acting King's personal conquest, but there are still many officials who are still worried.
"Alright, that's it." Yang Yu said lightly.
The officials couldn't help but stagnate. looked at Yang Yu's faint expression on the throne. I couldn't say anything.
Unconsciously, Yang Yu's majesty has penetrated into the hearts of hundreds of officials.
"After the king set out on the expedition, all the affairs of Daxing City were temporarily presided over by Lord Bone, and if there was a major event, it would not be decided. It can be sent to Feng Yijun by fast horse. Yang Yu commanded.
"Yes!" Hundreds of officials responded. Feng Yijun is adjacent to Daxing City. It takes 800 miles to expedit, but it only takes half a day.
Moreover, Li Yuan has already invaded Guanzhong, and it is important to lead the troops to quell the rebellion. Since there is a Yin Shi Master accompanying him, I believe that nothing will happen that will not happen.
"Lord Bone, after this king leaves, you have to guard Daxing City, and this king gives you the right to cut first and then play." Yang Yu looked at the bone instrument, the bone instrument is a foreign race, there is no foundation in Daxing City, and the power is handed over to the bone instrument, which is Yang Yun's most assured, which is also the reason why Yang Yu is at ease to recruit himself.
"Chop first, play later." Baiguan gasped for a while.
With Yang Yu's words, if some of your actions really arouse Gu Yi's doubts, even if you are killed, you will also die in vain.
"His Royal Highness the Acting King trusts the old minister, let the old minister be grateful, please rest assured that during the expedition of His Royal Highness the Acting King, Daxing City will be safe and secure as usual." Gu Yi assured in a loud voice, but anyone could hear the murderous aura in Gu Yi's words.
"Good!" Yang Yu Yang Yu nodded and looked at the hundred officials, "I hope you can work together to assist Lord Gu to ensure the stability of Daxing City." ”
"Yes!" Baiguan bowed and whispered.
The decision was certain, and the hundred officials immediately began to act, and one after another orders were issued from Daxing Palace.
A large amount of material was pulled out of the treasury of the Ministry of Industry, loaded onto vehicles, and ready to set off at any time. The war apparatus of Daxing City began to operate rapidly,
……………………
"Yu'er!"
Concubine Wei looked at Yang Yu in military uniform in front of her and shouted in a trembling voice.
"Li Yuan has entered Guanzhong, and the child is about to go on the expedition, so he has come to bid farewell to his mother." Yang Yu bowed.
Concubine Wei had tears in her eyes, Yang Yu was only fourteen years old, and she had to take on the heavy task of counterinsurgency, how not to make Concubine Wei's heart ache.
Concubine Wei had 10,000 reasons not to let Yang Yu go on the expedition, but when these words came to Concubine Wei's mouth, she couldn't say anything.
She knew that if she wanted to really become an emperor, she might not have to go to the battlefield in peacetime, but now that the whole country is in turmoil, if there is no great military exploits, how to convince those proud soldiers and fierce generals, even if the world is pacified by the ministers and famous generals in the future, such a country will not be stable.
"Mother rest assured, this battle will be won, and the child will not have to worry about it." Yang Yu said confidently.
"Well, Concubine Wei nodded,
"When you get to the army, you have to look more and ask more, and when you encounter things you don't understand, you have to ask General Yin more, General Yin has fought for the country for many years and has rich experience, you and General Yin work together, and you will definitely be able to defeat Li Yuan."
"The child knows the way!" Yang Yu smiled, revealing his white teeth, looking unusually sunny.
Concubine Wei couldn't help but suddenly realize that in a blink of an eye, her son was about to lead the troops to the battle.
"Leave the child!"
There is still a lot of work for Yang Yu to do, and it is already time to squeeze out the time to go to the East Palace and Concubine Wei to resign at this moment.
"Go, mother is waiting for Yu'er's good news in the East Palace." Concubine Wei said with tears in her eyes.
Yang Yu solemnly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
Concubine Wei's unconditional trust and unconditional support for Yang Yun, such a heavy and selfless maternal love, how could Yang Yu not be deeply moved.
Yang Yu took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions stirring in his heart, and walked out of Concubine Wei's bedroom.
As soon as I walked out of the gate, I saw Yang Ji'er, who was dressed in a mink fur, standing there pretty, obviously waiting for Yang Yu.
Yang Yu squeezed out a smile and walked in front of Yang Ji'er.
"After I'm gone, you must be obedient." Yang Yu touched Yang Ji'er's head.
"Hmm!" Yang Ji'er nodded meekly,
"Yang Yu, you must defeat Li Yuan's anti-thief!" Yang Ji'er showed expectant eyes, tears in her eyes.
"Of course, who am I, I am the dignified acting king Yang Yu, with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under my hands, Li Yuan's father and son are just a group of local chickens and dogs, as soon as the king's army arrives, they will definitely flee without a fight." Yang Yu said exaggeratedly, making Yang Jier laugh.
"Bragging!" Yang Ji'er burst into tears and laughed.
"Then you just wait for my good news, when the time comes, I will arrest all Li Yuan's sons and beat them, so that they can rebel." Yang Yu hated the way.
"Hmm!" Yang Ji'er nodded deeply.
Yang Yu comforted Yang Ji'er for a while, glanced up, and left the East Palace ruthlessly.
Yang Ji'er stood at the gate of the East Palace, watching Yang Yu's convoy disappear from a distance.
"Let's go back! It's already cold! ”
Concubine Wei's gentle voice sounded behind Yang Ji'er.
"Sister-in-law!"
Yang Ji'er screamed and threw herself into Concubine Wei's arms.
Concubine Wei burst into tears, cried and wore makeup, and hugged Yang Jier, as royal people, they have to bear much more than ordinary people, and even crying can only be done behind their backs.
………………
The news of the gathering of the army in Daxing City quickly spread.
In the morning, the news came that the army was about to go out at noon, and Daxing Palace's rapid reaction speed surprised all those who heard the news.
Subsequently, another exciting news came out, and this counterinsurgency was actually a personal expedition on behalf of His Royal Highness.
"His Royal Highness the Acting King?" Countless people were in an uproar.
This news is comparable to the sensation caused by Li Mi's entry into the customs.
"Leading the troops on behalf of the king?" The people of Daxing City said in a daze.
"His Royal Highness the Acting King is only thirteen or fourteen years old, can he do it?" Someone said worriedly.
"Can't do it? Do you think that His Royal Highness the Acting King is an ordinary person, you look at the changes in Daxing City for more than a year, this is all created by His Royal Highness the Acting King, His Royal Highness the Acting King is the person who will unify the world in the future, and it is rare for a mere Li Yuan to live in His Royal Highness the Acting King? Someone immediately retorted.
Now Daxing City is full of loyal supporters of His Royal Highness the Acting King, and these people are full of confidence in the news of His Royal Highness the Acting King's personal conquest.
Some people also keenly discovered the news that the Yin World Master was the deputy marshal, and they couldn't help but smile, in their opinion, His Royal Highness the Acting King may be just an ornament, and it is the Yin World Master who really controls the military power.
Then another piece of news came.
"His Royal Highness has an order! During the requisition, each carriage was 500 wen per day, and the forage was all included. Soon, a notice was posted in Daxing City, and the news came quickly.
"Five hundred wen?" Many car owners couldn't help but be happy when they heard the news.
500 wen a day, two days is consistent, and a month is fifteen. This is much faster than their hard work to make money, not to mention that now Guanzhong is paying attention to the war in Li Yuan and Feng Yijun, and the transportation business has almost come to a standstill, and there is no income at all.
"Do you need money to requisition a vehicle? Even if you don't want money, Lao Tzu is willing to support His Royal Highness the Acting King. A hot-tempered driver shouted, which immediately attracted the approval of many peers.
As long as the coachman who heard the news didn't say a word, he immediately rushed to the east city gate.
At noon, the east gate of Daxing City immediately gathered thousands of four-wheeled carriages, almost half of the total number of four-wheeled carriages in Daxing City.
It's noon.
"Boom."
A large number of soldiers immediately appeared at the east gate of Daxing City.
All the soldiers were fully armed in cotton clothes and armor, standing under the city gates, waiting for the order to leave.
On the upper floor of the East City Gate, Yang Yu looked at the grand occasion of the gathering of the army, and couldn't help but nodded.
"His Royal Highness! It's noon. The Yin World Master said respectfully.
"Expedition!" Yang Yu waved his hand vigorously.
"Knock knock." The drums sounded.
"Get in the car!"
At the sound of an order, immediately all the soldiers boarded the four-wheeled carriage.
All carriages were four-horse carriages, each carrying ten soldiers, as well as their respective belongings.
"Drive!" As the first carriage galloped out,
Five thousand four-wheeled carriages carrying 50,000 troops galloped out of the city in turn, along the straight brick road to Feng Yijun. (To be continued......)
