Chapter 361: Peak (Subscription Requested)
Half a year later, good news came from the southwest battlefield, and the official army defeated the army of Qianxiangguo!
In another two months, the official army took advantage of the victory to drive the army of Qianxiang out of the country and entered the territory of Qianxiang.
When the news was transmitted back to the capital, it immediately caused a huge sensation!
Today, full of joy, the haze over the capital has been swept away.
As the war went smoothly, the sons and daughters of the nobles who joined the army and their families broke out in an all-round way, not only won many military exploits, but also became the backbone of the southwestern official army.
The eldest lord also benefited, and he became the first assistant of the cabinet so easily!
At this time, the envoy of Qianxiang Kingdom rushed to the capital and used the captured king of Nan'an County as a bargaining chip to start armistice negotiations with Daqi!
The officials of Honglu Temple were very helpless, such a request should have been sternly refused, but the king of Nan'an County was a threshold that could not be bypassed, and his life and death were not at all something they could decide.
According to the meaning of the eldest master, there is nothing to talk about, just let the southwest official army destroy the Qianxiang Kingdom!
It's just a pity that he can't make up his mind today, mainly because the power of the king of Nan'an is huge, and there are too many people who intercede for him, and it's not easy to be too ruthless today.
Especially when the king of Xining and the king of Dongping wrote to intercede at the same time, the matter became more and more unmanageable.
If one is not good, it may make Xining and Dongping, two people with different surnames, feel free to deviate from the imperial court, which is something that I don't want and don't want to happen today.
"What do you think about Shousuke?"
Nowadays, I can't think of a solution if I want to break my brain, so I can only invite the small court to brainstorm and let a cabinet boss help find a way at the same time.
As the first assistant of the cabinet, the eldest lord naturally has an unshirkable responsibility.
"It depends on the specific conditions of Qianxiang Country, if it is really excessive, then there is no need to talk about it!"
The eldest lord said coldly: "The prince of Nan'an County is still in the capital!" ”
As soon as these words came out, all the current and other cabinet colleagues were shocked, and they were shocked by the determination of the eldest master.
Especially today, it seems that I have only discovered that the eldest master is an out-and-out ruthless person, and since he became the head of the cabinet, he has become even more 'unscrupulous', as if he is not restrained, and his speech is often quite amazing, domineering and crazy.
Sometimes, even he, who is the emperor, is shocked by the ruthlessness of the old man's words, although this guy is always very reasonable, but he really has to do what he wants, and the iron and iron have to make cool Qin-like means and atmosphere.
Soon, Akane Xiangguo put forward the conditions:
The first is the truce between the two countries, and the withdrawal of the official army of Daqi from the territory of Qianxiang State;
Secondly, Qianxiang wants to form a friendly state with Daqi Yong, hoping to marry the royal family of Daqi, even if he doesn't marry a princess, at least he has to be a county lord!
When the above matters were negotiated, Qian Xiangguo promised to send the king of Nan'an County back to Daqi safely.
Today, when I heard the news, I was so angry that I almost vomited blood, Nimaxi Xiangguo was about to be unable to hold on this time, and even dared to make such an excessive request?
It's easy to want Daqi to withdraw the army, but if you want to marry the Daqi royal family, don't dream.
"Your Majesty, what else do you have to say, keep fighting, destroy the country of Qianxiang!"
At another small court meeting, the eldest lord said unceremoniously: "A small barbarian country dares to be so rampant, what if a small group of countries in the southwest follow suit?" ”
This time, not only did the eldest lord strongly oppose it, but even the rest of the cabinet did not agree with it.
What are you kidding, even if you lose the battle, you can knock out your teeth and swallow the blood, but now it is clear that Daqi has the advantage, why give face to the little Qianxiang country.
The news also spread out somehow, regardless of the civil and military nobles in Beijing, there are very few people who agree with such rude requests of Qian Xiangguo, but there is one exception.
That's the Nan'an County Palace!
In order to save the king of Nan'an County, this time even the eighty-year-old concubine of Nan'an couldn't sit still, so she took the initiative to go out of the palace and run around, contacting the familiar lords and nobles to put pressure on the court and the present, and not letting the current and the court give up the plan to rescue the king of Nan'an.
This time, I heard that the eldest lord planned to directly give up rescuing the king of Nan'an County, and the old lady was anxious and angry and brought a heavy gift to the door directly, wanting to persuade the eldest lord to change his mind.
Hearing that the old lady of Nan'an came to the door, the old lady was very happy to take the initiative to invite, and the old lady pushed the boat to Rongqing Hall, and only after describing the old friendship did she explain the reason.
"Don't worry, the old woman will definitely persuade the boss, after all, we have been friends for many years!"
The old lady didn't take the matter of the king of Nan'an to heart at all, and directly patted her chest and promised: "The king of Nan'an has an accident for the country, and the court should come to the rescue!" ”
"Why does the concubine have to rescue the county king?"
The eldest lord went back to his house, and heard that the old lady of Nan'an came to the door, and there was an old lady mixed in, so he rushed directly to Rongqing Hall to meet, and when the old lady mentioned the rescue, he asked unceremoniously: "You know, if the county king dies on the battlefield, it is no problem, but if he returns to the capital safely, the county king's mansion is afraid that the title will not be guaranteed, and he may even be banned!" ”
Hearing this, the old lady and the old lady Nan'an were taken aback, especially the old lady Nan'an's face, which became white and bloodless after brushing, and her body shook for a while as if she was about to faint.
The eldest man's eyes were fast, his body was like a spirit ape, and the two fingers of his right hand were placed on the old lady's wrist, and he sensed the slight trembling of his fingertips, and the faint strength of the Tao penetrated into the body, shaking the old lady's meridians and blood, and soon the old lady recovered, and her body was even healthier than before.
"Boss, is the situation really so serious?"
Seeing that the old lady was safe and sound, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief, and then she had the heart to continue the previous topic, and said in disbelief: "It is impossible to be so ruthless today!" ”
"Old lady, it's not a question of being ruthless or not!"
The eldest lord shook his head and said: "The king of Nan'an County first suffered a defeat and was captured himself, and then asked the Qianxiang Kingdom to enter the southwest and wreak havoc for a year, and everything is not a trivial matter!" ”
Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at the old lady and said: "Old lady, it's not a certain family that is cold-hearted and ruthless, instead of asking the king of Nan'an to come back and hinder today's eyes, it is better to make a decision to let the prince inherit the lord immediately!" ”
Seeing that the old lady was still hesitating, he continued: "If the palace is uncomfortable this time, it is estimated that the palace will not have good fruits to eat in the future, after all, the Nan'an palace has no military power in its hands, how can it not be decided by His Majesty in the future?" ”
The old lady's face turned pale and she fainted, but this time she didn't let the eldest master come to her aid, and quickly recovered and nodded in thanks: "No matter what, this time I have to thank the Rong Mansion for the reminder!" ”
didn't stay any longer, leaving behind a very valuable gift and leaving in a hurry.
"Boss, is the situation really so serious?"
Waiting for the old lady to leave, the old lady suddenly asked: "After all, he is the king of Nan'an County, even if he is not happy today, he will not do too much!" ”
"Hehe......"
The eldest lord chuckled, shook his head and said: "The king of Nan'an County, who has military power and territory, is worthy of attention, and the current king of Nan'an County is just a loss of power and humiliation of the country in today's eyes, and the existence that makes him lose face is no longer worthless!" ”
I have to say that the old lady Nan'an is a character.
The eldest lord's words obviously woke her up, and within two days, the Nan'an County Palace's palace went to the table to ask for the title of the prince, and there was no mention of the matter of the Nan'an County King, obviously as if he had died in battle.
Today's response is also quite fast, directly let the prince of Nan'an County Wangfu be demoted to the rank of lord, and get the title of marquis, basically the kind that has no real power, it is not easy to rise again.
After the affairs of the Nan'an County Mansion were properly handled, the current attitude towards the envoys of Qianxiang Country was suddenly extremely tough, and he directly asked this guy to go back and tell the lord of Qianxiang Kingdom: Either bow down and pay tribute every year; Either continue to fight to see who can't hold on in the end, as for the king of Nan'an County who has died on the battlefield, the request made by Qian Xiangguo is simply nonsense.
A few months later, the army of Qianxiang suddenly attacked the southwestern border town, and was beaten back by the prepared Daqi official army, and the all-out war between Daqi and Qianxiang was completely started.
The volume between Daqi and Qianxiang is completely incomparable, as long as Daqi's side does not make a mistake and makes the other party take advantage of the loophole, the final victory must belong to Daqi.
As the first assistant of the cabinet, the eldest lord put forward an opinion to let the local officials and troops in the southern region who have been in the battle array for a long time take turns to fight, and with the help of Qianxiang Kingdom to improve the combat power of the local officials and troops in the south, which is adopted and implemented today.
As a result, the war between Daqi and Qianxiang lasted for ten years, and the local officials and troops in the entire south and even some areas in the north were almost in two rounds.
These are all things that will not be said for the time being, and after dealing with the troubles of the Qianxiang Kingdom with the imperial court, peace has returned to the territory of Daqi.
The foundation accumulated by Daqi over the years is not a joke, although the southwest region has become a mess due to the sudden war, but the imperial court still has the spare power to deal with other affairs while allocating a large amount of grain and grass to support the past.
It's just that I don't know if the princes of the court are too high, or the southwest is too far away from the capital, what happened there is difficult to detect for a while, after less than a year of foreign invasion of the southwest, the number of people after the war is about thirty percent less than no one notices.
It's an incredible number, representing millions of people, that has disappeared in just one year.
Although the army of Qianxiang Kingdom entered the southwest hinterland of Great Qi, burning, killing and looting, they did not plan to masshouse civilians after all, and the southwest land was not a dime a dime, and the disappearance of millions of people should easily attract the attention of the imperial court.
Strangely, this incident did not cause any shock among the government and the people, as if it was a normal thing.
The eldest lord smiled lightly, and it was naturally his credit to be able to appear in such a situation, those people who suddenly disappeared all passed through the port in the southwest and left Daqi to start a new life overseas.
And he also started his career at the peak of power in Daqi!
