Chapter 6: Someone from the West!
In the next few days, time became extremely precious to Lin Feng.
During the day, he rushed to the base in the valley to train with the soldiers who had already changed their camouflage uniforms one by one, to discuss and repeatedly verify the best way to train and fight, and to make himself "tired like a dog" every day; In the evening, Lin Feng had to rush back to Jinling City, receiving different people like a flowing water seat, and quickly arranging many things in a chaotic manner.
During this period, the supermarket manager Fang Hongli successfully found a counterfeit cheongsam shop, Lin Feng brought the fierce Zhang Bin and Feng Jingyun to the door at night, in the name of infringing the cheongsam patent, forced the large-scale garment shop to hand over part of the illegal gains, and then successfully turned into the "franchise store" of Lin Feng's wonderful shop, which was considered a successful bleaching. Originally, Lin Feng intended to use this store as a negative example of patent infringement and take it out to clean it up, but later, considering the current complicated situation, the other party copied Lin Feng's own things, and he was afraid of giving others an excuse to blame and suspect, so he didn't make any more extraneous branches.
During this period, for several nights in a row, there were scholars and craftsmen who missed the seven-question interview after the talent selection ceremony came to find them, Lin Feng warmly welcomed them all, and those who initially recognized the agreement were instructed to conduct the second round of centralized interviews on August 20, and those who did not agree politely refused.
Of course, Lin Feng didn't forget to take a break in his busy life, and specially made time to have dinner with Emperor Zhou E and have a tryst for an hour.
On the afternoon of August 14 in the eighth year of Baoda (950 AD), Lin Feng was practicing with all the soldiers on the training ground in the valley, when one person and two horses rushed in, and the first horse in front was a guard of the Qi Wangfu that Lin Feng had seen several times, and the horse behind was already saddled, but there was no one on it.
Lin Feng stepped forward, greeted the guard, and waved his hand to signal the soldier on duty who followed the horse back to return to his post.
"By the order of King Qi, Lord Lin will enter the palace immediately! Lord Lin, please get on the horse! The guard smiled and gestured to the empty horse behind him.
Something big must have happened again! Lin Feng didn't talk nonsense, and turned around and ordered Lin Renzhao and the others to continue training and turn over on the horse. The two masters, Zhang Bin and Feng Jingyun, also pulled two horses from the side of the training ground and followed behind Lin Feng. In the past few days, the horses allocated by the forbidden army have basically been in place, and Lin Feng has assigned one to each of the soldiers, not only increasing the riding training, but also requiring them to be responsible for the feeding of the horses, and they must also live with the horses in their spare time and cultivate feelings, so that everyone's riding skills have improved rapidly.
The four horses galloped and quickly rushed back to Jinling City and rushed to the gate of the palace city. As soon as Lin Feng got off the horse, he was led to the imperial study by a palace guard.
With the voice of the eunuch's registration, Lin Feng walked quickly into the imperial study, and there were still only two people in the room, Emperor Li Jing and King Qi Li Jingsui.
Seeing Lin Feng, Li Jing waved his hand to stop him from kneeling, and a pair of eyes stared at him. Lin Feng was a little puzzled, and then turned to Li Jingsui, and found that Li Jingsui was the same, and the expression in his eyes seemed to be very complicated.
After a while, Li Jingsui took the lead in speaking: "Zhishan, let you be right again!" Chu Guolangzhou Jiedu envoy Ma Xicao sent a secret envoy! ”
Lin Feng was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was calm, and he hurriedly asked for details.
"Yesterday, Honglu Temple met a person who claimed to be the envoy of Chu State, and was ordered by Ma Xixu, the envoy of Langzhou Jiedu, to have confidential matters to meet my emperor. Honglu Temple made this matter clear, and I have personally inspected the tokens and letters held by the person, and they are all genuine. Ma Xicao made it clear in his letter that he was willing to serve me as a monarch and himself as a vassal country, and asked me to send troops to help after the autumn. ”
Li Jingsui slowly recounted in his mouth, still staring at Lin Feng with a look of disbelief. Until now, Lin Feng's strange dreams and daily predictions have been gradually verified, which has made the two brothers very shocked, but the uneasiness in their hearts is constantly expanding, if what Lin Feng said is true, then wouldn't the future of Nantang be very miserable?
Lin Feng understood as soon as he heard that the two brothers had such strange expressions, it turned out that they were worried about their future fate again.
Lin Feng put a smile on his face, and started with a trivial matter:
"Your Majesty, King Qi, for many days, every night there are late talents to come to the Weichen Mansion to interview and recruit ten questions, Weichen has paid special attention to it, although the people who come are still mainly from my Tang Dynasty, but there are talents from the surrounding countries. This shows that our dynasty's talent ceremony has become the best way to attract talents from all over the world, which confirms that our Datang has become the first choice for talents from all over the world. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Feng changed the topic and led to the topic he wanted to talk about: "Your Majesty, these are things that didn't exist before!" By extension, His Majesty advocated the Talent Ceremony, Special Forces, Army Competition, and the Tang Academy of Sciences...... These are all things that were not originally in Weichen's dream, but they are indeed happening now! In Wechen's view, all this is a positive force of change, which is guiding the future development in the direction of Datang! Weichen can be sure that the future development of my Tang is limitless, and ignorance is incomparable! ”
Lin Feng's powerful words had a certain effect, gradually smoothing the frowning brows of the two bosses opposite.
Next, Lin Feng began to flicker again, raised his voice a little and said: "In Wei Chen's view, there is an invisible balance between the countries in this world, and they have maintained a delicate balance of mutual restraint in their respective politics, economy, and military aspects. Now, our positive changes and cleansing of old evils have slowly changed this delicate balance, and our rise has exerted tremendous pressure on the small countries around us, and of course, it has a deep attraction that forces them to adapt to the trend. If Weichen's speculation is correct, I am afraid that Ma Xixu of this Chu State also realized that the Han State in the north could no longer protect their Chu State, and saw the national strength of my Tang Dynasty, and began to prepare to completely throw himself into our country! ”
Here, Lin Feng has a bit of a taste of stealing concepts. Originally, Ma Xiguang of Chu was supported by his subordinates and asked the Northern Han State for a title, and the Northern Han State broke the rule of "brother to brother" and set the second Ma Xiguang as the monarch of Chu State, so the Northern Han Dynasty naturally would not reward Ma Xicao again. If Ma Xicao wants to succeed, he can only ask for help from the most powerful Nantang in the surrounding area. However, in the original history, Ma Xicao only sent an envoy to the Southern Tang Dynasty in March next year to tell Li Jing, "The people of Hunan are tired and arrogant, and it is desirable." "The gears of history have been turned a little faster here, and Lin Feng insists on attributing it to the changes in the Southern Tang Dynasty, which can also be said!
Lin Feng's tone of explanation was relaxed and the angle was novel, which obviously gave some comfort to the two big guys, and the expressions of the two became a little relaxed.
Lin Feng immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue, began to increase his size, leaned forward, and said mysteriously: "Your Majesty, I don't know if you want to take this Chu country quickly, do you want to take it quickly or slowly?" ”
Li Jing was amused by Lin Feng's words, seeing what Lin Feng said, this Chu State is like an ownerless thing, taken and taken away?!
"Perfection, don't talk nonsense!" Li Jing glanced at Lin Feng sideways, and deliberately reprimanded with a calm face, but in a blink of an eye, he also leaned forward and asked, "How to talk about quick take, how to talk about slow take?" ”
Li Jing was in a hurry, but Lin Feng was not in a hurry, but talked about other things: "The changes in the Chu State can be solved in a short time, Weichen suggested, first cold the envoys of the Chu State for a period of time, and find a way to let him see the new atmosphere in our Tang Dynasty's politics, economy, and science and technology, enhance their confidence, and force Ma Xixu to show more sincerity!" ”
This is a blatant and appropriate move to seek benefits for the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Jing couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Lin Feng only then began to answer Li Jingsui's question: "Take it slowly, that is, let it develop, I will wait and see the changes, wait for the fruit to ripen, and pick it easily; Quick picking, that is, we have to use some ingenuity, do a little trick on this fruit, so that it can ripen early! ”
In history, in the following year, Ma Xiguang, Ma Xicao, Ma Xichong and other brothers ascended the throne like a marquee, and staged a bloody farce of "many horses fighting for the groove". It was not until October of the next year that Bian Hao led his army to the entire Chu State in one fell swoop.
In Lin Feng's opinion, if Nantang just watched from the sidelines, it would be a little too delayed and dozing! Now, Lin Feng has a group of tigers and wolves of the special forces in his hands, and he has a lot of confidence in his heart, and he is ready to take the initiative to move the gears of history a little faster!
"Good! I endorse caching! Li Jing spoke on the side, lightly patted the imperial book case with his palm, stood up, and said loudly, "In recent days, my eyelids have been beating non-stop, and my mind is restless. It's easy to have a lot of dreams this night, Aiqing talk about it quickly, how to get it quickly? ”
Lin Feng got up and gave a deep salute, and said loudly: "After a while, when the follow-up news of Ma Xixu comes, Weichen is willing to lead some special soldiers to go deep into the Chu State with the envoy to explore the enemy's situation and plan as appropriate!" Weichen's previous oath is still valid, and no one will die to take back the Chu State! ”
If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger? Lin Feng was also forced by Feng Yansi's shameless move, and he was ready to take a risk and take the initiative to take the initiative to take such a great merit as seizing the country!
"Huh?" Li Jing and Li Jingsui were stunned!
