Chapter 357: Division of Troops
"I'm really tired today, I thought they would resist, but I didn't expect them to be cowards, not a real man. In the end, I still admire the brother who dared to stand up first, he is a man, but unfortunately he doesn't have a brain. It is estimated that the family's money is used to buy pig's heads to eat!" As he spoke, Hu Yun found a clean place to sit down.
The whole palace has been renovated, and now the floor is clean. Coupled with the heat, it's nothing to sit on the floor. Therefore, Hu Yun didn't care if there was anything in the seat here, but Jing Rui pulled him up at this time.
"Look at you, you don't know what kind of system you want to pay attention to for a day. Now that Zhao Yulong is the emperor, this True Dragon Hall is the place of the upper court, what are you talking like sitting like this. Fortunately, Zhao Yulong is the emperor, if others see you like this, they will cut you down without saying a word!"
"Just let him sit! But it's a good thing to pay attention in front of outsiders, after all, Jingrui is right, not everyone will treat you like us. ”
"It's better to be Brother Long!" Hearing that Zhao Yulong said that he could sit down, Hu Yun sat down again.
"Forget it, you don't care, I don't have anything to say. Let's continue to talk about today's accession to the throne! To be honest, I originally thought that I would have to kill several people to be able to set an example for chickens and monkeys, but I didn't expect to kill one of them and castrate, and sure enough, these people are greedy for life and afraid of death!"
"They are not greedy for life and afraid of death, but smart. Not all of them are as reckless as the reckless men before them, and it will certainly not be easy for them to survive all these years. To be honest, according to my thoughts, they would all agree today, but I don't want to have a reckless man. Fortunately, you are here, but it doesn't make a difference. ”
"Clever? Why don't I see how smart they are?" As he spoke, Hu Yun took out a chicken leg out of nowhere and gnawed it, to be honest, he was indeed hungry today.
"It's normal that you don't see it, because you don't know the sinister nature of the human heart. These old fellows are excited, and now they agree to my policies not just words, but they are still thinking about it in their hearts. ”
"What do you mean?" Jing Rui was refreshed when he heard it.
"Yes, most of them expect that as soon as they return to their own land, they will rebel, and what they are saying now is only a delaying tactic, and no one who understands this is too stupid. ”
"This is true!Huyun, get up, someone is coming!" Saying that, Jingrui hurriedly lifted Huyun up, so Huyun hurriedly wrapped the chicken leg in oiled paper and put it into the ring.
Then I saw a person walking towards the main hall, and this person was Liangzihu. Seeing Liang Zihu coming, Zhao Yulong himself got up from the ground, sat on the dragon chair and looked at Liang Zihu: "The prime minister came here at this time, did he forget something and didn't order?"
The emperor laughed, the old minister is just a puppet, how dare he tell the emperor. It's just that today's emperor revised the policy, which was too reckless in the eyes of the old ministers. If it is decided today, the people have just been peaceful, so it would be too hasty to do so!"
"Don't worry, it's the right time to make changes. Although the world is peaceful now, fortunately, these people have not recovered from the previous war, so it is more convenient to go to war in this way. If the world is stable, the people are already accustomed to the peaceful era, and it is not so easy to march and fight. ”
Saying that, Zhao Yulong stood up and looked at the map drawn by the previous dynasty: "Besides, look at it, although the princes are sincerely obedient to us on the surface, in fact, the area we can really control is only a small part of this map. And that large part is still in the hands of many princes, and it is now possible to control them. But if it grows in the future, it will be our biggest hidden danger. ”
As he spoke, Zhao Yulong hung the map on the wall: "Besides, the territory I really want is far more than this map. To be honest, he's too small to accommodate my ambitions!"
"Then dare to ask how big the emperor's ambition is?" Such words came from the mouth of Zhao Yulong, a young man in his twenties, who was a little frivolous, and Liang Zihu was also curious to ask.
"My ambition is not big, but it is not small. I just hope that in the future, beyond the places that my eyes can reach, all of them are my territory! But don't worry, even if I fight for years in a row, I can ensure that the people of the world can eat enough!"
Although Liang Zihu was surprised after hearing this, he thought that since he was a person linked to Emperor Wu, he also felt that it was reasonable: "What Your Majesty said, how dare the old minister not believe it and say goodbye!"
By the way, I almost forgot that there is another policy, which you will pass down, that from now on, all land will not belong to the landlord family, but to the state. All the land acquired by the people shall be distributed according to the size of the family, and the land shall not be bought, sold or transferred, and all grain obtained shall belong to the people, and all taxes shall be exempted. Those who wish to serve in the military are given an additional piece of land, an ox and an iron plow. ”
"The emperor is shengming! Farewell!" After speaking, Liang Zihu retreated again.
To be honest, for him, an old minister who has experienced several dynasties, he has seen a lot of things. But now he still sees a big difference between Zhao Yulong and other emperors, yes, his thinking is broader and more unimaginable.
The exemption from taxes is something that I never dared to think of in the past, and it has only been a day since he ascended the throne, and Zhao Yulong actually ordered the exemption of taxes, which is really rare in the world. And what is more important is that military service has relied on forced conscription in the past, and it doesn't matter if he is forced or not, there will be benefits for those who join the army, which is indeed a novelty.
But it makes sense to think so, at least those people can live better. Coupled with the previous Tai Academy, Liang Zihu seems to have seen an unprecedentedly powerful empire slowly rising.
It's just a pity that his time is running out, in fact, it is rare to be able to live to be in this realm to be more than three hundred years old. And Liang Zihu is still a high-ranking official, and it is not easy to live until now.
But in fact, most old people still have an accurate lifespan. When he resigned and returned to his hometown, Liang Zihu counted that he would not live for a few years.
And these years of retreat to the mountains and forests are quite leisurely, and the life span has been extended. But this extension is not really immediate, and he will not be able to live long.
Originally, for him, he had no children under his knees, and it would be a blessing if he died in the mountains and forests in the future. It was only because he heard that Zhao Yulong's army had hit the imperial city and asked him to deal with some state affairs on his behalf.
After all, in his heart, Zhao Yulong, a young man, can be regarded as a positive value, if the king at that time would definitely be able to make a difference. It's only because he needs assistance when he is young that he chooses to drag his elderly body out of the mountain.
After a few days, he realized that his instincts were not wrong. Zhao Yulong was able to accept Zhao Yulong's words several times deliberately, which many emperors could not learn, and those who could do this had already left their names and surnames in the history books.
Therefore, he is very satisfied with Zhao Yulong, and believes that the world is not bad under his governance. It's just a pity that he can only live for a few years at most, and maybe he can see the country gradually get better, but he knows that he has no chance to see the most prosperous time, because he can't wait.
A few months later, everything was as Zhao Yulong expected, and after most of the princes returned to the fiefdom, they developed their forces and rebelled. Only a few princes who did not do anything handed in the jade seal, saying that they just wanted to enjoy their lives.
Therefore, Zhao Yulong did not relent, and after letting go of those princes who took the initiative to hand over power and put down their military power, they also began to train their troops.
Although these soldiers are already far beyond ordinary people, Zhao Yulong still feels that it is not enough, and he still needs to be stronger. So it hasn't stopped for the past few months, and now that a few months have passed, it should look like it's about the same, it's time to send troops to conquer those princes.
On this day, Zhao Yulong gathered everyone together: "Everyone, seeing these days, those who should be against have also been reversed, and those who should have been surrendered have also been surrendered." Our strength is almost at the same time, so the next time is the time to send troops to recover those lands, do you have confidence?"
"Confidence? Needless to say, with Brother Long, you are a god-like person, are we afraid that we will not be able to defeat the battle, just push all the way over, and kill them without leaving a piece of armor!" As he spoke, Hu Yun also gestured with his hand a few times.
"I think this time, these rebellious princes are numerous. If we concentrate our forces on attacking one place, we will waste at least a few decades of time to defeat them. That's a big loss, so my idea is that this time we divide our troops and fight with one army to attack the vassal states in all directions, so that we can achieve the highest efficiency. In addition, you can't always rely on me, since everyone created it together, I hope you also have the ability to hold up a piece of the sky on your own, so this time it's a workout!"
"Understood!" Truth be told, none of them were cowardly. Before, Hu Yun was just talking and playing, but now that he is serious, he is not ambiguous.
"That, Brother Long, do you want Xiangyu and I too?" was just as he was talking, Yang Zheng suddenly whispered.
"I know you're reluctant, but for the sake of efficiency, I think the two of you will have to part for a short time. But rest assured, the short parting is just to make the reunion more precious. Xiangyu's strength is not weak, she has been with us for so long, she should be able to lead troops to fight to some extent, at least it will not be a problem to deal with these princes. ”
Yang Zheng thought about it after hearing this, but he still couldn't make up his mind, but Weng Xiangyu spoke: "Zheng'er, don't worry about me. No matter how I say it, I'm no longer a little girl who relies on people's protection, although I'm not as good as you now, but I won't lose my life, don't worry about me. Since the war is urgent now, let's listen to Brother Long! After all, the country is a country, and there is a country first, and then there is a home. If the country is not guaranteed, how can we talk about the love of children?"
In this way, Yang Zheng can be regarded as agreeing: "Okay! Since Xiangyu also insists on doing this, then so be it! But you have to promise me, you must survive, and when the world is peaceful, I will marry you!"
"Well, then I'll wait for you to marry me!" Weng Xiangyu nodded, at such an age, he should indeed get married, but because he had been following Zhao Yulong everywhere before, he didn't have time to get married.
"Okay! I agree to this marriage, since both parents have passed away, then my eldest brother will be in charge. When you come back after recovering the land, the two of you will marry in this imperial capital, and I will officiate at the wedding. I'm going to design a wedding for you!"
"Hmm! Thank you, Brother Long!"
"Okay, it's not too early, let's all disperse! Let's go to their respective barracks and have a look, and tomorrow morning, we will set out for battle. As for the prime minister, in the days when I am away, the affairs of the DPRK and China will be left to your old man to worry about!"
"It is the honor of the minister to be able to solve problems for Your Majesty, Your Majesty rest assured! I will definitely do these things for you, you just have to rest assured that you will go on the expedition." ”
It's another year, though this imperial kingdom is great. However, because of the division of troops, it did not take much time, and most of the land had already been breached, and now some temporary county guards were selected to manage it, and it was in good order.
Today, the only remaining vassal states are in the south, which is the southernmost point of the entire imperial state, and it is also the place where the emperor's power is least controlled. There are still a few vassal states there to hold on, but they know that they are also coming.
Now in the main hall of one of the vassal states, a group of princes stood and paced from side to side. They are the kings of the last few vassal states, and now because of Zhao Yulong, they are all gathered together because of Zhao Yulong.
"What do you say about this? That boy's six-way army is about to be killed here! You know that no matter which way the army is, it will attack a vassal state for a maximum of a month, and there is no pressure at all. Now, how is it good that the six roads are gathered?"
"I'm not talking about you, you might as well accept your fate like I do. Anyway, it's doomed to die, it doesn't matter, anyway, Lao Tzu has lived enough for so many years! It's just that he died at the hands of a little hairy child, Lao Tzu is unwilling! Damn, this kid's hair hasn't grown yet, where did he get such talent?"
"Hell, let's hurry up and think of a way! By the way, King Yu, aren't you ordinary and very intelligent? Our brothers didn't suffer at your hands back then, and now you still have my twenty cities in your hands! Why don't you speak now that you've gathered everyone over?"
As he spoke, King Zheng looked at King Yu, a person with an expressionless face, who was thinking about it at this time, but no one could see what his attitude was, let alone guess what he was thinking.
But he still spoke: "If I knew how to do it, I wouldn't have called you together to discuss, and now the situation has been decided." As that kid said, all this is probably destiny! Forget it, everyone should work hard when the time comes, even if they lose, they won't be able to let that kid gain too much benefit!"
"That's all there is to it, alas! What a fucking grievance! You say this kid is only in his twenties, why is he so invincible?"
"Invincible? No, he is just stronger than us, but there are people outside the world, and there are more powerful than him! It's just that we are not his opponents!"
"Then what's the difference between what you said and what you didn't say, we're not his opponents, this is still a fart! It's just a big deal!
"Guys, I have an idea. As the crowd spoke, the man in the corner suddenly burst into laughter.
"You have an idea? You're even more fucking unreliable, just those bad ideas you came up with. At that time, it was your King Wu who proposed that we raise troops to overthrow the imperial state, but the fucking was about to kill the imperial capital, but Jing Yong, the general of Zhenguan, killed him back. If it weren't for Lao Tzu's fucking wit, I wouldn't have waited until today for my fiefdom to be taken back. Why do you say that this surnamed Jing always has trouble with Lao Tzu? Forget about his father, and now his cub is also following this emperor to beat us?"
"No, believe me, this time is absolutely reliable! Surely, just believe me for the last time, that time I was not good, but this time it was absolutely successful. King Wu did not listen to his complaints, but continued to speak.
"I believe you, Lao Tzu Ling is willing to die!
At this time, King Yu helped him out of the siege: "Forget it, just believe him once! Anyway, now he is dead horizontally and vertically, maybe he can really survive if he believes him, you say!"
"Okay, as King Yu said before, there are people outside the world, so I think that kid also has people who can't fight. ”
"Aren't you fucking farting now? What King Yu said before, I still want you to fucking repeat?"
"Don't interrupt, let him continue. When he saw that the man was about to complain again, King Yu hurriedly stopped him.
"Thank you, King Yu, sure enough, you are the best for me, if I am a woman, I must promise you!"
King Yu thought that he would say important things directly, but at this time, he still said these boring words, but he was also a little annoyed: "If you say these useless things again, I think I will also use the knife on you!"
"Okay, sorry, I'll get to the point. I mean, in that case, why don't we seek refuge from someone who can defeat him, and when the time comes, wouldn't it be a good thing that we will come back?"
"That's good, but where's that refuge?"
"I think it should be the Cloud Suppression Empire! It is a vassal state of the Demon Clan, and it is also one of the several central empires of our Dongsheng Divine Continent, and the Imperial Kingdom has long had a great hatred, but with the support of the Heavenly Clan, they dare not do anything. But now that the Celestial Clan doesn't help here, we should be fine hiding there, and when the time comes, they will send troops here in the cave, and we will be able to recapture the fiefdom and kill that kid!"
"Good idea, then withdraw the troops now!"
