Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Genuine Third Highness

"Bai Ruoxi was disobedient and was escorted to the Leng Xiang Palace, His Royal Highness and Zhong Wuyan did their best to protect people, and their lives were worry-free for the time being."

Temporarily...... Life...... These words were deeply reflected in Wei Sa's eyes, and his pupils couldn't help but constrict suddenly, sharp as sharp, he had only left for a month, did this happen in the capital? Disobedience and Guilt ...... Wei Sa sighed, the stubborn girl offended which immortal and was actually sent to the cold palace. It's just that...... He pursed his lips, why did Wei Cheng and Zhong Wuyan come out to protect people for no reason? Moreover, Bai Jiang also used the word "full strength", Zhong Wuyan...... His mind remembered the scene when he had seen Ruoxi and Zhong Wuyan before, and his suspicions deepened.

He was silent, the few people who came to visit, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what this uncertain Third Highness is thinking. Lingnan is far away from the capital, and their impression of Wei Sa in the past is like the rest of the world, staying on his romantic deeds, and there are even opposition people who spread the news, saying that the brave Third Highness was proud of his achievements, and has been addicted to wine-colored dogs and horses, sheng flute orchestra, and is no longer able to be diligent in government. But what they had seen a few days ago was his decisive ruling and thunderous methods, which made those rumors self-defeating, and Wei Sa's heroic posture holding the Red Gold Dragon Scale Sword was enough to make them surrender. These people all found Wei Sa by themselves, hoping to return to the Three Masters Party and contribute to him.

Did something happen in the capital? They speculated. Otherwise, how could His Royal Highness, who had always been indifferent to anything, suddenly change his face?

Realizing that he had been silent for too long, Wei Sa fanned the wind with the letter, and casually swept over everyone's suspicious faces, "God really bless you, the way to get promoted and make a fortune is here." Everyone didn't know why, Kang Yao stood up, his face was a little cramped, "Your Highness, we are willing to follow His Highness to serve, not for gold, silver, money, and silk, if His Highness thinks that we are here, Kang Yao is willing to return to his hometown and unload his armor as a farmer." "He was originally a military general, but he was degraded again and again because he offended the powerful people in the court, until he reached the land of Lingnan and became a petty official. As soon as he took the lead, the officials who came with him also stood up, clasped their fists at the guards, and said together, "We only want to contribute to the country, not for vanity." ”

Wei Sa's expression was straight, he put down the crossed Erlang's legs, he smiled, and the evil face was even more indescribable, "Papapa." He applauded them and stood up at the same time, "Don't be angry, the king of Shicai is also probing your solidity, and I hope everyone will not be surprised, where the faux pas are, Wei Sa is offended." When he had finished speaking, he bowed to them.

Kang Yao's originally angry face flashed with surprise, the king who could apologize to his courtiers, they had never seen before. Everyone was surprised and frightened, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness has tormented the villains. "They came rashly to show their determination, and it is reasonable for Wei Sa to have doubts.

Wei Sa's expression was calm, and he continued the topic just now, "Since you have such ambitions, this king will no longer hide from you, in fact, this king has a confidant to discuss with you." Come, everybody, please see. He took out an object from his bosom and unfolded it, and it was a topographical map with the words "military camp" and "training ground" clearly marked on it. Everyone came up to look, Wei Sa sat aside, seeing the look on their faces from surprise to admiration, Kang Yao glanced up at him, and then continued to look at the map, for a long time, these people looked at each other, "Could it be that this is the map of His Highness's strength in Lingnan?" ”

Someone asked, Kang Yao shook his head first, "No, I don't remember the places where the barracks are marked, and besides, Lingnan is mostly a place where agriculture and merchants gather, and there have been no soldiers in and out for many years." Could it be ......"

Wei Sa smiled and nodded, which was regarded as affirming Kang Yao's guess. He sat up from his chair, "These are the military camps that this king intends to build in Lingnan, and the location and funds have been prepared, but these are far from enough, such a major event is only the strength of this king, how meager is it?" We also need the help of everyone here. He looked at these people with a smile, "Kang Zhuangyuan, you haven't put down your good kung fu yet, right?" ”

Kang Yao's face flushed, he was indeed the martial champion who competed in the imperial school field at the beginning, but now it seems that the high-spirited spirit at that time was simply naΓ―ve. "The literary and martial arts learned were sold to the emperor's family. Kang Yao is willing to dedicate his skills to His Royal Highness. ”

"Ni He is also willing to contribute to His Highness." The dark-faced man followed Kang Yao and stood up, and then, the white-faced scholar who was a little hesitant just now also stood up, and said with an apologetic smile, "Zhu Kuang Yijie scholar, without the good skills of Kang Ni's two eldest brothers, he will simply make a calculation, if His Highness does not dislike it, I wish Kuang is willing to take care of some trivial matters for His Highness." ”

Yuan Xing, who was standing beside Wei Sa, smiled, nodded his finger and smiled at Zhu Kuang, "Brother Zhu, you are too modest, your hand abacus has made the world cry ghosts and gods, and Yuan Xing, the name of the ghost operator, has long been like thunder." ”

Zhu Kuang smiled slightly, "What the hell is it, it's not worth a while, it's just a random nickname made by the village man." ”

Wei Sa looked at the many talents in front of him, his heart was extremely surging, he pointed to the map and said to them, "Xiliang is growing stronger, and in comparison, the Great Qi Kingdom has been in good weather these years, the country is peaceful and peaceful, and the army is not as good as before, this time there is more of a situation where the Eagle King is in distress, and the combat effectiveness of the army is seriously weakened. ”

"But the training of soldiers can only be carried out in secret, after the barracks are built, His Royal Highness has submitted to the imperial court, proposing to build more embankments and other flood control measures in Lingnan, and we will take this opportunity to do it." Yuan Xing added, he didn't say that these people also knew that what Wei Sa wanted to train was not the army of the Great Qi Kingdom, but only his own strength. But there are some things he still has to say for Wei Sa in front, "You are all righteous heroes with ambitions to serve the country, maybe what Yuan Xing wants to say will disgust you, but Yuan Xing still has to explain the facts." Wei Sa glanced at him, nodded, and signaled that he was good.

"In the eyes of this army, there is no need for the imperial court, they want to be loyal to only His Royal Highness, they must be 100% loyal, after the training, His Royal Highness will select a hundred people as dead soldiers, and the requirements for these people should be stricter, they must not only have good kung fu, but also have a clean family, preferably a lonely person, without family members and worries. Do you understand? He swept over everyone, Kang Yao and Ni He nodded one after another, only Zhu Kuang frowned, and Yuan Xing naturally kept his eyes on him, "Mr. Zhu has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Zhu Kuang smiled, hugged his shoulders, and asked the guard, "Should I wait here to recruit soldiers or will His Highness go to find soldiers by himself?" ”

Yuan Xing replied on his behalf, "Everyone is recruiting troops here. ”

"This is difficult," Zhu Kuang explained, "Lingnan and the surrounding areas of Lingnan have been controlled by Wei Cheng's people all the year round, and even Zhizhou is also his minions. After he finished speaking, Kang Yao and Ni He also reacted, a little deflated.

Wei Sa clapped his hands and glanced at Zhu Kuang approvingly, "Mr. Zhu said well." Yuan Xing. Yuan Xing took a step forward with a smile, "The local governor has been dismissed and investigated by the imperial court, and the newly appointed governor is our own people." A few people breathed a sigh of relief, and Yuan Xing said again, "In addition, His Royal Highness has sent people to start sweeping away the local Du Ruhui and other remnants, and the land of Lingnan will soon be clean." ”

Zhu Kuang arched his hand towards Wei Sa and smiled, "Your Royal Highness is far-sighted, I can't wait." ”

"What do you think about the soldiers, Mr. Zhu?" Wei Sa waved his hand and asked him rhetorically.

The only thought, Zhu Kuang held his chin, "It is wonderful to recruit troops locally, first, the local residents have been poisoned by Du Ruhui and others all the year round, and the people's grievances are very deep, His Royal Highness is clear about Lingnan Yihe, and he is very happy, I believe that many people are willing to serve His Royal Highness like me, and it is not difficult to recruit soldiers." Second, Lingnan is our agricultural and food area in Daqi, and the soldiers who are called up can work at home during the day, start drills in the evening, and return home after training, and there is no need to build a homestay for them to live in, which not only saves expenses, but also hides people's eyes. ”

Wei Sa looked back at Yuan Xing incredulously, Yuan Xing nodded with a smile, and said to Zhu Kuang, "According to Mr. Will, after His Royal Highness returns to Beijing, we will keep correspondence, and other matters can be decided by your own consultation. ”

"Kang Yao is the commander-in-chief, Ni Kuang is the deputy commander, and then a small team of His Highness's cronies will come over to assist you in handling military affairs. Mr. Zhu, you can reluctantly take up the position of military advisor. Zhu Kuang smiled and shook his hand, "The military advisor can't afford it, write an account book for everyone, and it's almost the same as keeping accounts, but when there is a need to give advice, Zhu Kuang will not be stingy." Yuan Xing smiled, secretly saying in his heart that this person was deeply thoughtful.

Kang Yao and Ni Kuang were overjoyed, thanked Wei Sa, their eyes were full of excitement, Wei Sa peeked at Zhu Kuang, he smiled as usual, not as surprised as those two.

After the meeting was dispersed and a few people left, Wei Sa leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, Yuan Xing sat down opposite him and took a sip of tea, "Your Highness, you see that what your subordinates said is right." "At the beginning, Wei Sa asked him about the way to train soldiers in Lingnan, and the strengthening of martial arts was led by Kang Ni, there is no doubt about it, but the army cannot be all rough people who use force, there needs to be a person who can give them ideas, this person is the core soul of this army, so the selection of this person must be cautious, Yuan Xing thought about it all night, and recommended Zhu Kuang to him.

Wei Sa was still a little worried, he felt that the people who would plan to make a deal were narrow-minded and stingy, and it might be difficult to take on this important responsibility, but Zhu Kuang's conversation just now completely dispelled his concerns, and this person was a little unexpected to him. The hanging heart finally fell, Wei Sa stood up, bowed to Yuan Xing who was smiling lightly on the chair opposite, and Yuan Xing was so shocked that he was about to get up, Wei Sa reached out and pressed his arm, shook his head, bowed to the end, and said sincerely, "Mr. Yuan, this king is really grateful for your ability to recommend such a good talent for this king." ”

Wei Sa thought about it and seemed to have something to say.

Yuan Xing blushed and accepted his salute, and he didn't even dare to say it in his mouth, and then he saw Wei Sa's expression, hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Anyone who has great power is difficult to tame, and the same is true for Zhu Kuang, this person is usually wild and arrogant, and never puts the nobles in his eyes." However, Your Highness, you can rest assured of Kuang's sincerity, and his subordinates are willing to guarantee with their lives that he will never betray His Highness. In the end, Yuan Xing's eyes became very determined.
