Chapter Ninety-One: Breaking Promises
Qin Bai sat in the center of the Taishi chair in the middle of the Shuai Mansion.
Yu Miaojin took a group of generals to touch about forty or fifty people, and first briefly stated to him what happened.
In fact, the process of rebellion is simple and crude, that is, those who are willing to submit will stay, and if they do not surrender, they will be killed. However, Yu Miaojin is of course more skillful in specific operation, after all, the banner played by Zhao Zheng, the king of Ning, is 'Jingnan' rather than rebellion, and the purpose is to hoe rape rather than usurp the throne, which is still relatively acceptable to most people;
It's just that it is estimated that the little emperor did not expect that the dozen or so cannons that were transported from the capital to the front line to deal with Zhao Zheng with great difficulty, as a secret weapon to defeat the enemy, the first cannon actually entered the Shuai Mansion, which can be said to be quite ironic.
In short, those who can live and stand in front of King Ning now are their own people.
The whole process of fanning mutiny, not to mention that it was a personal experience, Qin Bai felt frightened just by listening to it. Xuehe is right, with Yu Miaojin's ability, he is not an emperor or anything, he is really a loss.
However, Qin Bai was more concerned at this time: the soldiers in front of her were subdued by her, and if something went wrong in the future, she would have to rely on her to control them, and on the contrary, if she suffered a loss in the palace in the future, I am afraid that these people would not be able to give up.
He admits that his idea seems shaky and dark, but that's the reality. And according to this trend, I am becoming more and more afraid to offend her. Think about it a little longer, if she becomes a queen in the future, the means and strategies will not be left behind, and there will naturally be no problem in governing the harem; But as far as Xuehe's virtue of being heaven and earth, causing trouble and not knowing how to converge, if these two women really pinch each other, it is really not easy to do.
"Lord Wang?"
Yu Miaojin talked for a long time, and saw that he seemed to be a little distracted absent-mindedly, so he reminded him softly.
Qin Bai suddenly came back to his senses.
After her affairs are finished, these people below are still staring at the main person and waiting for the main man to speak! Qin Bai had to clear his throat, appease and praise him, and then it was nothing more than some scenes such as making wishes and boosting morale.
Now that he, the prince, is also familiar with the road and has reached a certain level: a large official speech comes when he opens his mouth, not only does he not blink his eyelids, but he doesn't even need to use his brain to make drafts.
Qin Bai said as he took a closer look at the various people standing in the courtyard: the armor was bright and neat, but most of them were raw faces. Junyi went to count the supplies, and Jiaotu was busy counting the number of people and recruiting the army; Only the fox is still dutifully standing by the princess's side, and has never relaxed her guard against the people in front of her, but the dead girl in the snow river doesn't know where to run.
500,000 people is not a small number, and eating so many soldiers and horses at once, to be honest, Qin Bai is a little empty in his heart. Although he has outstanding acting skills and is an excellent actor, he neither knows how to lead troops to fight nor understands politics, and he suddenly has so many fresh faces around him who don't know the details, and he is not around, how can he distinguish which people are reliable, which people have to be on guard at all times, what else needs to be wooed, and which ones need to be coerced and enticed?
In case they mess up, these people are all from martial arts, and it's not a joke to mutiny if they don't agree with each other. However, the most helpless thing is that it is useless to worry, and he has been pushed to the cusp.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but subconsciously glance at Yu Miaojin beside him. She stood there silently, a woman who had always demanded even the most delicate details, and at this time her cloak was stained with a few imperceptible drops of blood. It seems to have been splashed from a very close place, and I don't know what kind of bloody wind she just experienced, but it must be very dangerous.
However, at this time, her face looked very calm, even with a faint smile, calm, which made him feel inexplicably down-to-earth.
With her here, it's probably fine.
Just breathed a sigh of relief, but Qin Bai couldn't help but start worrying about things on the side again.
Although in terms of numbers, this rebellion and war are basically in control, but leading troops is also a troublesome matter! Not to mention whether there are any people in the army who are holding back and running away or fighting back, just counting the number of people and materials is already a project! In the huge military camp of hundreds of thousands of people, people eat horses and feed them every day, and it is all troublesome! Next, we have to stabilize the morale of the army, set an example to reassure the people, rectify military discipline, and a lot of trivial things are waiting to be dealt with - the coach is not there, where can anyone do it?
Of course, the point of the problem is that Qin Bai not only does not have the ability to lead so many soldiers at present, but he is still more worried about Xuehe.
Yu Miaojin did a good job on this errand, not only will her prestige in the army surge in the future, but even Qin Bai, who is the prince, can't get too stiff with her even if she thinks about the overall situation, otherwise there will be more people who will be offended.
The fleeing rebels have been basically cleared, but the people in the city are still closed and do not even dare to show their heads. In broad daylight, the market was empty, with only the occasional team of neatly dressed soldiers patrolling back and forth.
Everyone is busy with their own business, only Xue He is an idler. She sat idly on the gate tower, watching the soldiers who were as busy as ants moving around in front of her.
She knew that Qin Bai and Yu Miaojin were busy with the surrender in Li Jinglong's marshal mansion at this time, and her appearance on that occasion was not only useless, but also caused trouble for herself.
Seeing that the two of them are in and out of pairs, but if they can't see it, they are also annoyed.
If Yu Miaojin is really a stupid, jealous, and limited woman, then she fights with her, whether literary or martial, bright or dark, in short, it is a contest between women, and they each rely on their own abilities!
- But what else can I do in this situation?! Yu Miaojin has now stood in the aura of justice, kindness and righteousness, and her whole body exudes the brilliance of a virtuous and virtuous lady in the palace! Doing it against her, isn't it just that you have labeled yourself as 'selfish and stingy', 'regardless of the overall situation', and 'fox and bewitching the master'?!
Phew, you want to be beautiful.
Although he didn't get a good hand at the beginning, he ended up playing a few rounds later.
Xue He let out a sigh, gave up and lay down on the bluestone bricks at the head of the city, his legs drooping down, motionless, if he stuck an arrow in his chest, it would be more like a corpse.
"Yo, why is there another one dead here?"
Jun Qiyao's voice came from his ears, Xue He opened his eyes coyly, saw that it was him, and waved his hand: "Go, go, the old paper is busy, I don't have time to take care of you." ”
"Busy pretending to be dead?"
Xue He slumped on the ground, looked at the clear sky, and smacked his lips: "The world is not worth it!" ”
"Tut-tut. I believe anyone who says this, but when it comes out of your mouth, it has a special taste. Jun Qi touched his chin and mocked:
"It's like you've been hungry for three days and you're dying, I'll kindly hand you a cake, and the mouth is too light, and you can't eat it without meat."
Xue He glanced at him.
From her current point of view, the most conspicuous part of Jun Qi's usually handsome face is only the nostrils. She spat out a word with a blank face:
"Get out."
"Well, you're busy! I'll roll first. ”
Jun Yi saw that she was in a bad mood, and he knew why he thought about it, so he was too lazy to mess with her. stood up and just wanted to leave, but Xue He suddenly sat up and stopped him:
"You wait a minute."
Jun Qi turned around, but saw that she was looking down again and only thinking about her own business, and there was no more. Seeing her serious expression, it seemed that there was something important, but she hadn't figured out how to speak for a while. He didn't rush, just stood quietly aside and waited for her to think about it.
"You tell Qin Bai that I may have to break my promise this time."
After waiting for a long time, Xue He slowly spoke: "I promised him not to leave, but I don't think I should be here now." ”
"This ......"
Jun Yi blinked, feeling that the task was a little too difficult.
She sighed, got up from the ground, patted the dust, and said, "You tell him that I'm going back to change my skin, it's so strange that I can't get used to it." ”
Nod, that's a good reason.
"Not coming back?"
Xue He was noncommittal, and his expression was a little depressed: "Wait for a better time." Yu Miaojin did the right thing, and she has the qualifications of a mother, no matter what, I shouldn't stand on the opposite side of her. ”
Jun Yi smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, it's yours after all, and you can't run." When the war is over, I'll keep an eye on him for you. ”
"No, you don't have to control him for me."
Xue He shook his head:
"A-Niang said that in a good relationship, both people will be nourished from the relationship, become better and better, happy and comfortable. However, you see that we are not happy now, and we must be careful in what we say and do, for fear that we will quarrel if something is wrong.
I thought about it for a long time, I can't blame him or Yu Miaojin, and even I don't know what I'm doing wrong, so I think it's better for everyone to be separated for a while. ”
Jun Yi raised his eyebrows: "It sounds very reasonable. However, I don't think he will accept it. ”
"That's your business."
"Hey."
"Send me back to Wushan first."
"Okay."
——
The world is changing, the vicissitudes of life, and ten years have passed in a blink of an eye.
The vigorous battle of Jingjing by Zhao Zheng, the king of Ning, ended in victory only a few months later, and the army encountered almost no decent resistance and arrived directly in the capital; After the army besieged Yingtianfu for three days, not a single soldier was moved, the city gate was opened, and the Jingnan army peacefully entered the city to accept the surrender, except for the emperor himself who was nowhere to be found, everything went extremely smoothly.
He said that although Emperor Zhao Youwen was guilty, his sin did not lead to death, and it was also the will of heaven to abandon the city and flee.
In that year, Zhao Zheng, the king of Ning, was proclaimed emperor in the capital at that time, and changed the year name to the first year of Yongle. Four years later, he moved the capital north to Yancheng, sent troops to Mobei again, and completely subdued the restless Wuliangha Sanwei.
Since then, there has been no more war in the whole country, so they began to recruit literati into the court, and devoted all their efforts to preparing for the revision of books.
