Half of Wuji's goal has been achieved, but some words still have to be explained clearly: "Yu Du, there are still a lot of procedures to be done to turn into a village soldier." As for the establishment of the United Army, I think it is still based on the current establishment of the three battalions, but it is necessary to reduce some of the old, weak, sick and disabled. Then there is the arrangement of positions in the army, Yu will naturally be the commander-in-chief of the united army, but I don't know if Yu will have a suitable candidate for the captains of the three battalions? ”

This is a robbery while the fire is on, the division of troops and the seizure of power at a young age are done so smoothly, the captains of the three battalions, you have the final say, am I going to be a light pole? That's it, that's it, how can people not bow their heads when they are under the eaves. Yu Cunzhong slandered in his heart, but his mouth was very respectful: "From today on, a certain is a subordinate of the Ming Mansion, and how to deal with the Ming Mansion can be decided, and there is no objection." ”

The goal is all achieved, and it's time to lose a sweet date: "Yu will understand the reason, and he will not treat you badly." Although the village soldiers are not as majestic as the border troops, for ordnance, grain and straw supplies are all the same. As for the candidates for the captains of the three battalions, in this way, the lieutenant position of the lieutenant can be recommended by the general, and as for the two lieutenants of each battalion, I will designate them. ”

Yu Cunzhong was a little surprised, he didn't expect this small county commander to be very big-minded, I was appointed general, and then I selected three battalion captains, so that the unity army is still surnamed Yu, although the six deputy captains are his people, but the military power will not be sidelined. If he confessed to me, I should repay him in return.

Yu Cunzhong hurriedly thanked him and said, "Xie Mingfu is kind." A certain will lead the united army to the Ming Mansion and look forward. ”

Wuji said: "After Yu Du returns to the camp, he should deal with it safely, from the top down, and don't make chaos." ”

Yu Cunzhong replied: "Rest assured in the Ming Mansion, the camp is full of sergeants under the command of a certain one for many years, and a certain one will be dealt with safely." ”

Yu Ming is loyal to this person, loyal and brave and good at fighting, loves soldiers like a son, and since joining the army, he has been promoted from a group of commanders to generals by virtue of his military exploits. However, his character is vulgar and not liked by Shangguan, and there have been no major wars in Jingnan in recent years, so he has been staying in this small county of Badong. Now that the Unity Army is disbanded, he can no longer rely on it, and it is the greatest comfort for him to be able to keep the Unity Army.

After saluting again, Yu Cunzhong went back to the camp.

Gangneung Fortress.

In the study of the prince's house.

Gao Baorong and Gao Baomian sat opposite each other, discussing the secret report from Padang.

Gao Baorong said, "Fourth brother, what do you think about this?" ”

Gao Baomian slightly touched the corners of his mouth and said, "Ziqing's heart to unite the army is about to come out." ”

Gao Baorong said: "How can you see it? ”

Gao Baomian said: "Ziqing wanted to join the army in Dingnan was rejected, and went to any small county in Badong, with his talent and ambition, how could he be satisfied with the status quo, and now there is a God-given opportunity to get the remnants of the United Army, how could he easily miss it." ”

Gao Baorong said: "I still can't see what Ziqing wants in his heart, but there is one thing, now that I am the son of the world, I can't raise a tiger to make trouble, sit back and watch him grow stronger, this matter can't be as he wants, and I have to find a way to stop him." ”

Gao Baomian shook his head and said, "No, third brother, not only can't we stop it, but on the contrary, we have to help him." ”

Gao Baorong asked in surprise, "Fourth brother, why?" ”

Gao Baomian smiled and said: "Third brother, just imagine, you are already the son of the world, and it is only a matter of time before you succeed to the throne and become the king, Ziqing's father is only 5,000 troops under the jurisdiction of Guizhou, and Ziqing's unity army is only more than 6,000 people, once the third brother succeeds to the throne, where will they go?" Rebel and self-reliant? It is unlikely, not to mention the 6,000 government army against the 60,000 Jingnan army, and the extermination of them in Dingnan alone is a snap of a finger. In this way, the rebellion will not work all the way, so you can only be loyal to a powerful force and rely on it as a backer. The third brother thinks that apart from you, can he find other backers? ”

Gao Baorong nodded and said, "Reasonable." ”

Gao Baomian continued: "The third brother has been friendly with Ziqing for many years, you should understand his heart, he is a person who values feelings, imagine that the eldest brother has been hostile to him in recent years, but when the eldest brother failed to rebel, he didn't want to save the eldest brother'......s life. ”

Gao Baomian suddenly felt that this matter was Gao Baomian's heart disease, and accidentally touched the taboo, so he quickly stopped talking, after all, the princess who was killed by Gao Baoxun was Gao Baorong and his biological mother.

Gao Baomian thought that Gao Baorong would be angry, but he didn't expect Gao Baorong's face to be very calm, and he couldn't see any anger.

Gao Baomian then said carefully: "At that time, for the sake of many years of friendship, unless the third brother has a grudge against him, who else can he take refuge in but you?" If the third brother takes him into his pocket, then Liang Zhen, his uncle and his father behind him will naturally stand on the third brother's side. ”

Gao Baorong nodded and said, "The fourth brother is really smart, and the foolish brother is not as good as you." In this way, I will go to report to my father and persuade him to fulfill Ziqing's wishes. ”

Gao Baomian shook his head again and said, "Third brother, no." ”

Gao Baorong was puzzled: "Why is this? ”

Gao Baomian said: "If the third brother speaks to his father to help Ziqing, it will undoubtedly make his father suspect that the third brother and Ziqing have colluded. My father's suspicions have become even more severe since the eldest brother's rebellion. Didn't the third brother hit the tip of the knife? ”

Gao Baorong asked, "So what are we going to do?" ”

Gao Baomian smiled and said: "Third brother don't worry, we can get the secret report, I think my father has already got the secret report, we just need to wait for the father to make a decision, and come forward to agree." If my father doesn't agree, we sit idly by, and if he agrees, we give him some supplies or weapons. ”

Gao Baorong said with a smile: "Fourth brother, I didn't expect you to be a big ghost, and you are getting more and more old and scheming. ”

Gao Baomian also said with a smile: "The younger brother should make plans for the third brother. ”

Gao Baorong and Gao Baomian shook their hands, looked at each other and smiled.

Dead.

Gangneung Palace, study.

The king sat on the chair with his eyes closed.

Sun Guangxian stood in front of him.

Sun Guangxian bowed his head and reported: "King, when you get the news, Baili Wuji's desire to control the united army is clearly revealed. ”

Gao Congzhi said: "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

Sun Guangxian said: "The king, although the unity army is only more than a thousand remnants, but the example of civilian officials in charge of military affairs cannot be opened, so I thought that the king should reprimand Baili Wuji and order him to disband the unity army on the spot." ”

Gao Congyu still closed his eyes and said slowly: "More than a thousand remnants? Why has this king never heard that there are more than 1,000 remnants of soldiers in Padang? ”

Sun Guangxian replied: "I think that it may be the negligence of the original Guizhou assassin history." ”

Sun Guangxian actually understood in his heart that it was estimated that the one who led the troops would not be welcomed and would be abandoned by Shangguan. But you can't say it to the king, you just know some things, otherwise, once the king investigates it, I don't know that Lu Dao will offend many people.

Gao Congzhi said: "This king believes in the loyalty of Baili Yuanwang, and the talent of the children of the Baili family is also known by this king, and more than 1,000 soldiers are not worried, and it is okay to send them to Baili Wuji." But this king wants to know what measures you have to prevent Baili Wuji from sitting big in Padang and giving rise to two hearts. ”

Listening to the weather in Dawangkou, it was to allow Baili Wuji to master the unity army, Sun Guangxian sighed lightly in his heart.

Sun Guangxian replied: "For this, the king does not have to worry, there are only two counties under the jurisdiction of the state, and it is already stretched to raise 5,000 government troops, and now there are more than 1,000 unity troops, and what the father and son think and do every day in the future is how to feed them, and there is no time to think about anything else." As long as the king holds the grain and grass in his hands, he can't afford to make big waves even if he wants to come to Baili. ”

Gao Congzhi said: "Since Meng Wen has such a countermeasure, why should he oppose Baili Wuji to master the unity army, it is just a group of remnants." I want to follow my father and son to fight in the north and south, but I took away the military power, this king is ashamed in his heart, now there are more than a thousand remnants of soldiers, and the children of the Baili family want to give it, and it also makes the guilt in the king's heart lighter. ”

Sun Guangxian said: "The king, the duty of a certain is to explain to the king what is not conducive to the king, and it is not in accordance with the rules for a hundred miles of unscrupulous civil officials to take charge of military affairs, and a certain person is naturally opposed." ”

Gao Congyu opened his eyes, nodded and said, "Meng Wen understands this king, let's discuss this matter again." ”

Sun Guangxian responded: "Yes." The subordinates retired. ”
