The 10,000 garrisons sent by the Qingguo side naturally cannot all be arranged around Dongyi City, although this city is the largest city in the world, and it is not too difficult to supply the logistics camp tents of 10,000 soldiers. However, due to some inexplicable reasons, the barracks that should have been renovated in five days have not yet been completed, so part of the Qing army is only temporarily stationed in the temporary camp.

In the end, there were more than 5,600 people left in Dongyi City, and the rest of the people were stationed in various princes and small countries, thinking that they were suppressed and deterred.

That night, the eldest prince who attended the banquet did not rush to rest, but waved his hand lightly to Fan Xian, and the two flashed into a quiet study.

The eldest prince was silent for a moment, and finally took out a letter from his bosom first. Fan Xian glanced at it, and then caught a glimpse of the format of this letter, and was about to kneel down to meet His Majesty's secret decree, but was unexpectedly stopped by the eldest prince.

"Just the two of us, why let our knees suffer. The eldest prince shook his head slightly.

Fan Xian was slightly stunned, then laughed slowly, and stopped making a big salute, took the secret decree from his hand, opened it, read it carefully, and then fell into deep thought, and did not speak for a long time.

"I'll go back to Beijing first, and then you will be here for me for three months. In the letter, the tone of the emperor's majesty was very gentle, and there was a kind of appreciation for Fan Xian, Fan Xian's mood was very relaxed, and his tone was very relaxed, and he said to the eldest prince: "This arrangement works, the problem is that if you return to Beijing in the future, I will pick you up again, will the two of us go on a business trip in Dongyi City forever?"

To conquer Dongyi City as calmly as possible, so that Nanqing's national strength, financial and military strength will suffer as little loss as possible, the eldest prince and Fan Xian, the two sons of Emperor Xià with Dongyi blood, are undoubtedly the best choice.

Although during the opening ceremony a month ago, the suicide note of Si Gu Jian pulled Fan Xian to the road of Dongyi people one by one, pointing at the emperor's heart, but the emperor is a man of great wisdom, how can he not understand this, he instead took advantage of the situation, changed his original idea, and really sent the eldest prince to bring the Qing army to station.

Whether it is the eldest prince or Fan Xian, they all have half of the Dongyi blood, which is a supreme weapon for conquering the hearts of the Dongyi people, at least those who are conquered, every time they think of the Qingguo magnates who are pressed on their heads, they are also half of the Dongyi people, and their mood must be much better.

Especially the eldest prince, he is a genuine prince, his biological mother's life is known to the world, and he is stationed in Dongyi City, which can also represent the blood fusion between Nanqing and Dongyi, and really want to conquer a territory, and the mixing of bloodlines is undoubtedly the most powerful weapon.

His Majesty the Emperor saw it very far-reaching.

However, it is impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to allow the eldest prince and Fan Xian to stay in Dongyi City for a long time, one is that he only has these two adult princes under his knees, and he needs them to be by his side to lay out the political and military affairs of the dynasty, and the second is that his son is too far away from Kyoto, and the two princes who obviously do not have much taste of the Li family, Emperor Qing is also a little faintly worried.

Regarding this kind of worry, Fan Xian knew it, so he was not very surprised by the explanation in the secret decree, he just had a headache, the eldest prince is coming, and he is leaving, so what will he do in the future?

"There is always a need for someone to be stationed in Dongyi City. He looked at the eldest prince and asked, "What are your Majesty's plans?" ”

"I don't know. There was a faint worry between the eyebrows of the eldest prince, he was not an ordinary Qingguo official and ordinary people, although he was extremely happy and shocked that Fan Xian was able to persuade Sigu Sword without blood, ambush Jianlu, and then swallow the people of Dongyi City into the territory of Daqing, but he thought more about whether this process could go on very smoothly.

Especially today outside Dongyi City, although the 10,000 Qingguo Iron Cavalry was very effective in shaking the hearts of most Dongyi people, the expression of the disciples of Jianlu made the eldest prince a little nervous.

He glanced at Fan Xian deeply and said, "Regarding the matter of Jianlu, although His Majesty did not say it explicitly, it is obvious that he is a little unhappy about this move. ”

"At that time, I had no choice, either I would take over the sword house, or I would have to start from scratch. Fan Xian sneered and said, "Are you willing to be a fat meat caught in a hard bun?"

"Father's meaning is very clear, at least you have to go back to report on your work......" The eldest prince's brows furrowed slightly, and then he sighed and said: "I'm just here to replace you temporarily, and my father won't rest assured that I will stay in Dongyi for a long time." ”

Fan Xian fell silent, knowing that the eldest prince was telling the truth, the eldest prince had always been a little close to Dongyi City, after all, Ning Cairen had been mentioning his life for so many years, and he had military power in his hands, His Majesty would rather stay in Dongyi City himself than hand over Dongyi City to the eldest prince.

It is not difficult to cut the soil and seal the king, but what kind of soil to cut and which king to seal is the difficult thing.

"Anyway, His Majesty didn't rush me, I'll stay in Dongyi City for a while to help you close the situation. Fan Xian said: "After the situation is stable, I will return to Beijing." ”

The eldest prince nodded, and then said: "The Supervision Yuan still needs you to be in charge, and my father will probably not let you stay in Kyoto all the time, you will find out what arrangements will be made here in Dongyi City after you return to Kyoto." ”

"Are you worried that Your Majesty will send a strong person over and provoke the people of Dongyi City to revolt?" Fan Xian looked at him with a smile and said, "With my arrangement here, don't worry too much about you, half of Dongyi." ”

His tone became serious: "Even if you are worried, you have to bury it in your stomach and not let people see it." ”

The eldest prince knew that this younger brother really cared about him, so he was moved and nodded.

"Is Chen Pingping ready to leave?" Fan Xian took a sip of cold tea, felt that his mouth was a little dry, and raised his eyes to look at him, this eldest brother and Chen Pingping had an extremely close relationship, and he must be very clear about the movements in Chen Yuan.

"I have already started to prepare, and some rìzi has already entered the palace to resign. The eldest prince didn't know that Dean Chen, who he regarded as his father and uncle, had been rebellious to his father and emperor in private, and he didn't see this matter very strictly, but he just thought that Dean Chen was old and should take care of his old age, and when he thought that Dean Chen left Kyoto, he didn't know if he would see him again in this life, and the eldest prince's heart was a little confused.

Fan Xian was silent, calculated for a long time in his heart, no longer paid attention to this question, and finally asked: "The army that came to Dongyi City this time is really all the army that conquered the west back then?

"The soldiers are all old people, and the problem is that there are many strangers among the middle-level generals. The eldest prince's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a slight cold.

............ The last few rì are still in a hurry, those cumbersome handover ceremonies, name change ceremonies, happened in every part of Dongyi City, fortunately, the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple sent a large number of capable officials, so that Fan Xian was not caused by these things to vomit blood.

However, what really made him anxious was a popular rebellion in Xiaoliang State in the northwest of Dongyi City, in which the people were mobilized to resist the invaders of Qingguo, a great Confucian of Liang State who was deeply admired by the people, and black smoke rose up, which immediately ignited the hatred of the people of Xiaoliang Kingdom.

At this time, Fan Xian really realized how naïve his original idea was, and it was basically impossible to truly conquer a foreign country without blood.

The eldest prince had already led the army to suppress it, but before leaving, Fan Xian told him very seriously that if he could not let the Qingguo garrison make a move, then he must not make a move, once the Qingjun had the blood of the Dongyi people on his hands, it would be even more difficult to wash it off, and this hatred would never be resolved.

The eldest prince sent a stern letter to the city lord's mansion of Dongyi City according to the plan, questioning the city lord Yun Zhilan, and then drove the city lord's mansion as the pioneer, with the local officials as the vanguard, and began to suppress the turmoil in Xiaoliang Kingdom, while the Qing army thought that it was the rear and kept a certain distance.

When the eldest prince and Yun Zhilan both left Dongyi City, all the affairs were handed over to Fan Xian to deal with, and he hid to the seaside, thinking about the ups and downs of Dongyi City, the sparks that never stopped, and his heart was depressed.

Let the City Lord's Mansion suppress it, it should be better, probably like the puppet army in the previous life? Fan Xian sat on the big bluestone by the sea, and smiled bitterly, knowing that no matter how much he tossed, no matter how much he tossed the last words of the sword and how the disciples of the Sword Lu cooperated with him, he still couldn't change, and he was the evil invader in the hearts of the people of Dongyi City.

"What do you want to do with the affairs of Xiao Liang Kingdom?" Wang Shisanlang, who had become more and more silent in the past few months, was sitting beside him at this time, and suddenly asked, "Do you want the army to slaughter the people?"

"The City Lord's Mansion doesn't have a large army, some are just the prestige and status that have been extended over the years. Fan Xian knew why Shisanlang asked this today, after all, the other party was a Dongyi person, but at this time, he wanted to suppress the turmoil in Xiaoliang Kingdom, which seemed to him to be very righteous, and he must have a very complicated mood. After a pause, he said softly, "I have an explanation, try to kill as few people as possible." ”

"But after all, there are still dead people, and when the sword and soldiers move, how can you control it?" Wang Shisanlang's eyes were a little confused, just staring at the ups and downs of the waves on the sea.

Fan Xian glanced at him sideways, his face gradually became solemn, and asked, "Do you know that ** and died of Confucianism?"

"In the past, Mr. Gu often came to Jianlu to talk to Shizun. Wang Shisanlang replied.

Fan Xian shook his head and said: "There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the world, although I have not seen this Mr. Gu, but this must also be a great figure, the rebellion of Xiaoliang Kingdom started because of him, but I can't cure him, as for his family, you can rest assured, I will save them, and Mr. Gu's ancestral hall will be erected afterwards." ”

Wang Shisanlang looked at him in a daze, and after a long time, he said: "You don't really respect him, you just need to put on this posture to appease the people of Liang Kingdom." ”

"It's a trick that all aggressors do. Fan Xian's expression was a little gloomy, "But you can think of this, it makes me a little surprised, thirteen, you are getting more and more difficult." ”

"Seeing so many things that no one can make it simple. Thirteen Lang stared into his eyes and said, "You once promised Shizun not to let the people of Dongyi City bleed. ”

"I don't like to see bloodshed, otherwise why would I have been tied to this carriage by your sword house?" Fan Xian laughed at himself, but his smile gradually became cold, "But the necessary blood always has to flow, otherwise if it keeps going on in chaos, it will be like a whirlpool, which will only swallow the entire Dongyi City, and by that time, there will be more deaths." ”

He looked back at Wang Shisanlang quietly, and said: "I know what you are angry about, and I also know what you are sad about, but you look into my eyes and think about what I have paid for, don't forget it, if it is only from my personal interests, the Qing army comes to attack, I will get away with it, at most cry for the innocent people of Dongyi City, why do you suffer like this?"

"If a big battle breaks out between the two sides, Dongyi City will be defeated, and the number of dead will be 100,000. Fan Xian closed his eyes and said: "My philosophy of life is very simple, since this matter can't be stopped, then the fewer people who die, the better." ”

"There is no difference between the lives of ten people and the lives of ten thousand. Wang Shisanlang said.

"Wrong!" Fan Xian said categorically: "I don't care if life has a price, I only know that a person's life is unique, and 100,000 is absolutely more important than ten, hundred, or thousand." ”

"If God gave me a multiple-choice question, comparing 100,000 people to 99,999 people's lives, I would definitely choose the former, because there is one more former. ”

"The people of Dongyi City should learn to be grateful to me. Fan Xian looked at Wang Shisanlang's eyes and said calmly: "I let many people who were bound to die survive. ”

Wang Shisanlang was silent for a long time and said, "But these people don't need to die in the first place. ”

"His Majesty's cause requires them to die, and they must die. Fan Xian stood up from the big bluestone, "Even your master can't stop him, you should understand my pressure." ”

Fan Xian patted the sand behind his buttocks, squinted at the endless sea, and said, "Sometimes I find myself almost tall. ”

"What do you mean by Gao Daquan?"

"An inhuman description. Fan Xian shrugged his shoulders, "But if you think about it, I'm not Gao Daquan, I'm just willing to do it, I won't go to martyrdom for some kind of ideal, some kind of jīng god need, like that Mr. Gu**, I'm a person who can run away and is good at running away." ”

Then he turned around, looked at Thirteen Lang and said calmly: "Then I and Si Gu Jian are talking quietly in the house, you should also hear the content of the conversation, do you have any understanding of the domineering true qi?"
