Chapter 623: The Warrior (II)
In the study, Yun Haoyu finally saw with his own eyes this famous general who had almost taken down the entire Shangyu Galaxy, brought great trouble to the empire, and even Tian Xuanhao had been deflated under him several times!
Yu Xinzhe looks a few years older than him, his face is calm and resolute, his calm eyes have a touch of vicissitudes, and the hair on his temples is faintly white, which shows that the hardships of the past few years have left obvious traces on his body!
After returning to the palace, he did not rush to summon the other party immediately, but first let him reunite with his wife and daughter, rest and relax for a few days, and also let the famous general adjust his mentality.
There are some things that don't need to be rushed, and being too urgent will backfire; What's more, there are some words that let the people around him say it, and the effect is much better than opening it himself!
As it turned out, their considerations were justified. Three days later, Yu Xinzhe finally took the initiative to request an audience!
"General Yu, I and all the ministers of the empire have admired your name for a long time!" Yun Haoyu on the throne smiled and said to the young man who had just come in.
"Daimyo?" He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "A defeated general!" How many qualifications do you have to be so self-conscious? Your Majesty's praise, the minister can't afford it! ”
"Did Yu Qing finally figure it out?" Yun Haoyu waved his hand to stop his intention to salute, and ordered the palace maid to move a seat for him to sit down, and then asked with a smile.
"It's long overdue!" He sighed and said, "The queen and my family had a life-saving grace back then, it stands to reason that I shouldn't have gone to the Yilong Empire in the first place, if I had come here from the beginning, there would not have been so many twists and turns!" ”
Yun Haoyu smiled: "At that time, I can't blame you!" At that time, the queen had not yet reunited with me, so naturally she didn't know that I also had my own country! In short, everything was providential, and now it's all gone! Naturally, I won't care about all kinds of disputes and grievances in the past, and I hope Yu Qing won't mind anymore! ”
The other party's actions some time ago, after all, caused a lot of losses to the Imperial Legion, Tian Xuanhao didn't say it, he still had some resentment towards him in his heart, this is not just a matter of personal face, but related to the honor of the Imperial Legion!
Of course, at that time, each was its own master, and in front of the two armies, there was no right or wrong to speak of! Now that everyone is in the same court, there is no point in worrying about these old things!
Yu Xinzhe nodded and said, "Of course the minister believes in His Majesty's promise!" For the sake of the minister's family, His Majesty was able to personally rescue them, and this affection should be remembered by the minister......"
Speaking of this, he looked at Yun Haoyu's expression and asked slowly, "I just don't know, how does Your Majesty plan to arrange the position of the minister?" ”
It's straightforward! Yun Haoyu was a little amused in his heart, but today's high-level officials of the empire generally act like this, and they always go straight to the point when talking about things, and there is no hypocritical and exaggerated bureaucratic atmosphere in the workplace of those old countries! Such a habit is actually very much to his appetite!
"According to the previous agreement, I will crown you as a first-class marquis, and the corresponding fief rewards will not lack you! As for the rank......" Yun Haoyu looked at him, and the other party was now wearing an ordinary imperial officer's uniform, but he was not wearing any rank insignia.
He pondered for a moment and continued: "I have temporarily awarded you the rank of lieutenant general, and when you have participated in a certain number of battles, I will straighten you up and promote you again, what do you think?" ”
"Your Majesty, whether it is a title or a military rank, in fact, the ministers don't value it very much! At least I don't care about something that's too easy to come by! Yu Xinzhe said gently and resolutely, "Chen's self-confidence and ability are not inferior to others, even if he does not rely on care, with his own hard work, he will definitely get everything he wants!" Therefore, this title, Your Majesty should keep it for the time being, and Rong Chen will give it after he has made enough contributions! ”
"This ......" Yun Haoyu choked for a moment before he smiled:
"Of course I believe in Yu Qing's ability, but this is what I said before! That's why I want to cash it out now, but Yu Qing, if you insist on doing so, I won't be reluctant, and this gift will be kept for you for the time being! I'll give it to you when the time is right! ”
"So! How many fleets does Your Majesty intend to let your ministers command? Yu Xinzhe took a deep breath and asked a little nervously.
That's the most important question! The rewards of those titles and fiefdoms, although they are rich, are actually nothing! How much military power the emperor is willing to give him is what he Yu Xinzhe is most concerned about, and it is also the key factor in whether his talents can really be given a chance to display!
Moreover, this question can also intuitively prove that the emperor really values his talent and intends to really appoint him! Or do you just want to weaken the Yilong Empire and leave him idle once the goal is achieved?
In the imperial study, all the ministers looked at his Emperor and His Majesty to see what he said.
Yun Haoyu thought for a moment, then turned his head and asked Luo Qiyue: "The two newly formed Imperial Praetorian Guard Legions have arrived, right?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" She replied, "The two main legions and six new mobile interstellar fortresses have arrived at the camp half a day ago, and Su Shangqing is currently leading people to inspect and receive!" ”
"That's good!" He nodded and said to Yu Xinzhe:
"This time you sent troops to attack the Shangyu Galaxy, but you failed, what do you think you mainly lost?"
Yu Xinzhe didn't understand why the emperor suddenly asked this, hesitated for a moment, and replied cautiously:
"In terms of the ability to use troops, the minister felt that he was not inferior to General Tian Xuanhao, and the final defeat was due to the lack of support; second, the terrain is not familiar; Third, the difference in the performance of the fleets of the two sides is too large, and the firepower is seriously insufficient! Moreover, the star defense system of the Shangyu Galaxy is more complete than Chen expected, so many tactical actions cannot achieve the expected goals! In the end, it slowed down the process of the entire strategic plan! ”
Yun Haoyu nodded, and asked again: "What do you think of the 'Qianyuan' class warships used by the Imperial Fleet today?" ”
"A very good battleship!" He didn't hide his envy at all, "The latest improved model among them is not even as good as the new warships of the Gnaslock Empire!" If there are 300,000 such warships in the hands of the minister, and a few 'firmament-class' interstellar fortresses, the Shangyu galaxy of the empire may change hands this time! ”
Yun Haoyu laughed: "Of course, I believe that Yu Qing has such a ability!" However, you may not think that such a battleship is not the best among the Imperial Legions! ”
"There's more...... Advanced warships? Yu Xinzhe asked in surprise.
Of course, he could see that the advanced performance of the "Qianyuan" class warships of the empire completely overshadowed the technological level of the major powers in the human world! Only those old alien civilizations can come up with better warships!
However, if the empire has more advanced weapons, how advanced should it be?
"Yu Qing will know it at a glance!" Yun Haoyu raised his hand slightly, Feng Lanxi opened the light brain in the imperial study, and a huge three-dimensional projection screen appeared in front of the ministers.
A few seconds later, a huge ship formation appeared on the light screen, and a group of flat saucer-shaped battleships with a pure black body and a diameter of 1,500 meters were lined up in a neat formation, quietly hovering in the void! The hull is perfectly streamlined, and the smooth and smooth surface of the hull is integrated, demonstrating the Empire's superior craftsmanship!
The hull of the battleship has been engraved with the silver coat of arms of the Imperial Guard, indicating that they are all elites who belong directly to His Majesty the Emperor!
"An epoch-making weapon of war!" With Yu Xinzhe's professional vision, he naturally saw the shocking extraordinariness of this battleship! Not to mention, the main cannon with a diameter of up to four thousand millimeters alone was enough to easily tear through the energy shield of any known battleship! Even the Starfortress's protective system may not be able to stop its salvo!
The cost of such a warship must be unacceptably high, but the Starlight Empire not only built it, but also looked at its production scale is not small! A rough visual inspection shows that the number of warships that appear on the light screen is no less than tens of thousands!
He didn't say anything, but in his heart, he had a higher evaluation of the strength of this empire!
"This is the latest generation of the Empire's 'Kun Will' class battleship, how does it feel?" At some point, Yun Haoyu walked down the jade steps and stood beside him.
He said with emotion: "If Your Majesty has 500,000 'Kun Xuan' class ships in his hands, it will not be a problem to sweep the Southeast Star Sea within a month!" Of course, even if there are not so many, it won't take much time to clean up those two regimes with the existing fleet alone! ”
"Oh? I really have 500,000 of these warships in my hands right now! Yun Haoyu smiled, "Since Yu Qing is so sure, then I will hand them over to you to command!" How is it? ”
"What?" Not only Yu Xinzhe was surprised, but even the ministers behind him showed an unbelievable look.
Yang Wentao said dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, this newly formed main army exists as the personal guard of His Majesty the Emperor!" How can you ......?"
The generals present were a little angry, even their legions had not yet obtained this new warship, and now a general who had just come over was able to command the most powerful Janissary Legion in the Empire! How does this convince them?
"Your Majesty, such an elite legion, it is indeed a bit hasty to rush to hand it over to Weichen!" Yu Xinzhe also said, "If Your Majesty trusts the minister, the minister only needs an ordinary legion!" ”
Yun Haoyu waved his hand and said lightly:
"No matter how good the sword is, it must be in the hands of the strong to exert its power! No matter how elite the legion is, it must be commanded by the famous future in order to make meritorious achievements! Yu Qing, I am not Ji Yuxuan, since I have decided to use you, I will not look forward and backward, suspicion and prevention! I'll leave this legion to you! Do you – have the confidence to accept it? ”
Yu Xinzhe looked directly into the emperor's eyes, and after a few seconds, he finally bowed deeply: "Your Majesty treats your ministers as a countryman, and your ministers will not let Your Majesty down!" The only way to repay His Majesty is to make meritorious contributions and expand the territory for the empire! ”——
"Bang!"
A half-human-tall gilded copper incense burner was kicked away, then smashed down, bounced a few times on the jade steps, and rolled all the way out of the temple gate! I almost ran into Ji Huang who had just come in.
"Good, good Yu Xinzhe, I trust him in vain! He actually ...... How dare he commit treason to the enemy! This immature wolf cub, with a backbone in the back of his head, a treacherous, incorruptible and shameless guy! Ji Yuxuan's eyes erupted with fire, and he gritted his teeth and scolded angrily.
