0462 Preference
Wen Yi boarded the ship from Jiankang and traveled by sea to Guangzhou City, where he prepared to meet the leaders of the various tribes of the Slang.
But halfway through, he received a letter, a letter from Xie Daoyun to his home. He was very puzzled, this is really rare, do you still want to tell yourself about your lovesickness after being an old husband and wife?
When you see the content of the letter, it is called speechless.
Someone's life, literally.
"Ma Yibai, send an order to the country, let them prepare for the prince's wedding, and wait for me to officiate for them when I go back from Guangzhou."
Ma Yibai was a little confused, why was the wedding suddenly going to be held when he was fighting. From a political point of view, wouldn't it be better to wait until Yanjing New City is built to hold a big wedding there?
As a close minister, he couldn't help but ask more: "Your Majesty, is this ...... Do you want to wait any longer? The new capital can be built by the end of the year, and the construction period can be advanced if it is urged. ”
Wen Yi glared at him and said, "Can I not know?" Can...... Hey, forget it, you can leave it alone, go and give orders. Just get the message in, and the queen knows what to do. ”
Ma Yibai shrunk his neck and didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly asked someone to pass on the message.
When he left, Wen Yi threw the letter into the furnace and burned it. This thing is related to Chai Miao's reputation, and it can't be seen.
Although she is the crown princess, she is still very good at gossiping if she is pregnant before marriage.
This bear kid will look for trouble.
But it's no wonder that they think about it, hot-blooded boys, Sichun girls, and marriage contracts, grinding their ears and temples every day...... Hell it doesn't happen until something happens.
But making a fuss about 'human life' is a problem, and they can only let them get married, and they don't care if the time is right or not.
……
The Praetorian Guards arrived in Guangzhou City first, took over the security work in an all-round way, and Xian Hui and Xian Yun, who had already received the news, led the chiefs of the Slang tribes to come to the Hajj together.
As for Wenrong, he led the troops to Jiaozhou and has not yet returned.
When Wenyi's boat arrived, the dock was full of people greeting them.
After receiving the pilgrimage, Wen Yi boarded the imperial chariot and went to Guangzhou City, and Xian Yun was naturally allowed to ride with him.
Looking at the familiar man in front of her, Xian Yun was in a very complicated mood. Joy? Glad? Proud? Yes, but there is still a hint of horror.
She knew very well what Wei Weisi did, and she knew that her actions could not hide from the other party's eyes. Wen Yi came here this time not only to settle the slang, but also to deal with her.
She didn't know what he was going to do with him.
Looking at her, Wen Yi's mood was equally complicated. Although the two sides used each other, they were his women after all, and they gave birth to three children for him.
But there are some things that must not be touched, he will not let the matter of the nine sons taking the heir happen in the Tang Dynasty, if it is unavoidable, he will follow Yongzheng instead of learning from Kangxi.
Stretched out his hand and patted the position next to him, and said, "Sit here." ”
Xian Yun sat down obediently and snuggled up to him, feeling a lot more settled in her heart.
Wen Yi said: "Do you remember the scene when we first met? ”
Xian Yun said: "Why don't you remember, I never thought that you would become the lord of the world at that time, and now I think about it and feel a little unreal, as if in a dream." ”
Wen Yi said: "For me, all this is extremely real, because I have planned everything from the beginning, and everything that is happening now is just part of the plan. ”
Xian Yun said cautiously: "Then where should my position be in your plan?" ”
Wen Yi stared at her eyes and said, "You are the mother of King Yu, you can go to live in the palace or to live in his fiefdom." ”
Xian Yun's expression froze, and she said, "Don't you think it's unfair to Rong'er to do this?" ”
Wen Yidao: "Born in the emperor's family, he was born to be the lord of the vassal state, and he is already luckier than most people." ”
However, thinking of Xian Yun's contribution, he couldn't help but soften in his heart, and sighed: "I will seal him in the anointed land, if he manages it well, he will also be a great lord with millions of people under the rule of thousands of miles." ”
Xian Yun said quietly: "Where can there be the Central Plains." ”
Wen Yi said confidently: "I believe that Rong'er will prefer this arrangement I gave him." ”
Xian Yun had no way to refute this sentence, so she could only say helplessly: "Yes, if there is a father, there must be a son, he is too similar to you." You have ushered in a new era, and he wants to emulate you. ”
"Instead of fighting for the prince, he wants to go out and create his own era in the distance."
Wen Yi couldn't help but smile with joy on his face, and said, "My child should have such courage. ”
Xian Yun gritted her teeth and said unwillingly: "Okay, I'll do what you want." But you have to tell me where Rong'er's fiefdom is now, and ...... And give him the method of making firearms. ”
Wen Yi shook his head and sneered: "Ignorance, there are too many things in the Tang Kingdom that are more important than firearms, and you just chose it." ”
Xian Yun was a little annoyed, gently hammered him, and said, "Yes, you are the smartest, but are you willing to give him those things, and your prince is willing to share them with his brother?" ”
Wen Yi said lightly: "Now I am the master of the house, and I will give Rong'er a copy of what is owned by Tang Guo." ”
Xian Yun was pleasantly surprised at first, but quickly reacted and said, "Rong'er's fiefdom...... Isn't it far? ”
Wen Yi bowed his head and said: "You have seen the world map, and his fiefdom is in the southeast corner of Xuanzhou. That is, the area where the capital of Tuao was located in the previous life.
Xian Yun recalled the map of Xuanzhou in her mind, and knew where it was, and said hatefully: "You are so ruthless, just put your own son in Xuanzhou, and put it in the most remote corner." ”
Wen Yi explained: "The geographical environment of Xuanzhou is very unique, there are many thunderstorms and hurricanes in the north, and the stones can be blown over by strong winds; In the western part of the country, it is difficult for people and animals to survive in arid desert areas. ”
"The southeast region is the best place, with large rivers in forests and grasslands, which is suitable for cultivating farmland. If you manage this place well, you can at least get the same land as the current Jin Kingdom. ”
Xian Yun said suspiciously: "What you said is true? ”
Wen Yi smiled and said: "Rong'er is also my son, how could I treat him badly." ”
At this point, Wen Yi admitted that he was selfish and gave Wenrong the most fertile and promising part of Australia.
He even hoped that Yuanrong could be more competitive and rely on his innate advantages to dominate Australia...... Of course, this is all hypothetical, and it is not impossible for children and grandchildren to lose their country incompetently.
But as a father, that's all he can do.
The subsequent Americas, Africa, Tianzhu, Southeast Asia, West Asia, and even Europe will be distributed to the courtiers according to their actual ability.
His other children will also be assigned to a better place, but there will be no more treatment like Yuanrong.
The reason why Yuan Rong is so special is that Xian Yun played a vital role in his rule of Lingnan.
The Central Plains Dynasty conquered Lingnan from the time of the First Emperor, but it has not been able to achieve effective rule, and can only exist as a fetter.
Why?
The Lingnan slang people refused to accept the king's transformation and relied on the complex terrain to oppose the imperial court, causing the Central Plains Dynasty to continue to bleed.
If the Tang State wants to rule here, it will face the same problem.
Some people may say, isn't it another firearm, what are you afraid of?
It is important to emphasize here that firearms are not omnipotent, at least not black powder weapons.
Well, the sailors are different, after the appearance of the gunboats, the cold weapon warships are really crushed. But on land, firearms are by no means crushing cold weapons.
It should be said that before the advent of Gatling, firearms on land had never been able to crush cold weapons.
When France fought Tsarist Russia, the fierce Maozi directly charged head-on, and rushed into the French camp for hand-to-hand combat in the face of the rain of bullets.
In the end, the Russians lost 40,000 casualties and the French lost 35,000 casualties, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a draw.
Britain, the Netherlands, Spain and other countries have also encountered similar situations.
Others either cavalry charged desperately and forced the distance for hand-to-hand combat, or part of the cavalry attracted fire from the front, and the army attacked from the flanks.
It can often inflict huge casualties on those firearms armies, and even defeat the firearms armies.
"I Daqing" was a special case, and he knelt directly in the face of the black powder weapon.
The real crushing of cold weapons by firearms was formed after the appearance of Gatling.
The most typical example of the battle is Tsarist Russia, where the Cossack cavalry wanted to follow the example of their predecessors and rely on speed to attack the enemy camp in hand-to-hand combat, and were sent away by Gatling in a wave.
There are also special reasons why the firearms army of the Tang State can show invincibility.
First, it was the first time that countries had seen firearms, and they didn't know how to guard against them, and to put it bluntly, they were bluffed.
Second, the timing of his entry into the Central Plains was very clever, Huan Wen Northern Expedition, and the main forces of Yan and Jin were gathered in the Fangtou area.
First, he raided Liaodong, destroyed Longcheng with artillery, and captured the emperor and princes and nobles of Yan alive.
Wen Yi led the waterway coalition army to intervene in the Fangtou battlefield, remembering that it was the water and land coalition army. Relying on the advanced nature of the gunboats, he was the first to be invincible.
Then it was to use Huan Wen and Murong Chui to intimidate without understanding the true power of firearms.
Coupled with the arrest of the emperor and the princes and nobles of the Yan Kingdom, Murong Chui couldn't bear it and chose to surrender at first, and then Huan Wen also enjoyed it.
As for why the follow-up Jin Kingdom behaved so badly...... After losing Huan Wen's 200,000 elites and Huan Huo's Jingzhou army, they didn't have much left.
What's more, they also did not know the true role of firearms, and chose to defend the city, turning themselves into targets for artillery.
If they really had the courage to go out of the city to fight, it would not be so easy for Tang Guo to take them.
This is also the reason why Wenyi in Liangyi Erzhou still sent a commander like Liu Meng and gave 50,000 troops, which is really not tolerated.
It's the same if you're not in a hurry to attack Qin, Fu Jian is not an incompetent person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, he really dares to lead the army to launch a decisive charge.
Once he succeeds once, there will be trouble later.
Therefore, Wen Yi ordered Li Zhong to personally lead 50,000 troops to be stationed on the border between the two countries to conduct defensive operations.
When the Tang State digested the Yan and Jin countries and had absolute strength, the winning rate would be higher when they fought the Qin State.
This principle is the same in Lingnan, if the slang people really hide in the mountains to fight guerrillas, they really have no choice.
This is the reason why Wenyi accepted Xian Yun back then, the curve saved the country.
Because of Xian Yun's relationship, he first successfully used Taoist ideas to transform the Thunder God Sect, and then successfully implanted concepts such as Chinese civilization into the minds of slang people.
A few years ago, in the name of rectification and training, more than 60,000 young and strong slang people were ideologically transformed.
The group of slang people is a ripe melon for Tang Guo, and Wen Yi came to pick it this time.
It can be said that without Xian Yun's help, it would be impossible to have the current good situation, and she should be compensated accordingly.
On the other hand, it is Wenrong's own reasons. To paraphrase a rotten stalk, it is quite self-like. Yes, Wen Rong is the child who is most like him, both in appearance and temperament, so he will inevitably give a little more preference.
Of course, he will not give such a big feudal country just because of his preference, the key is ability. Wenrong's comprehensive quality is very high, at least Wenyi thinks it is quite good.
The current seizure of Lingnan is a test for him, not to see his ability to lead troops to fight, but to see his ability to employ people.
As long as he can coordinate the relationship between Tang Jun and the slang, he is qualified, and he has done a good job.
Put him in the southeast corner of Australia, Wen Yi is also relieved.
Besides, Xian Yun, seeing that it was impossible to compete for the throne, retreated to the next best thing and wanted more benefits. Let's leave the Central Plains, but the benefits should not be missing at all.
When Wen Yi met all kinds of requirements, the knots in her heart were also untied a lot, and she had already begun to plan how to send someone over there to investigate and establish a foothold.
Seeing that he calmed her down, Wen Yi also breathed a sigh of relief.
Among his harem and children, Xian Yun and Wen Rong are the most difficult to arrange. Now that they have been placed, the subsequent brothers will not be able to fall apart in the wall.
While speaking, he arrived in Guangzhou City, and Wen Yi set up a banquet to entertain Xian Hui and the chiefs of the various departments of the Slang people.
The next day, when the negotiations began, Wen Yi only said one condition: "The laws in the Tang Kingdom are universal, and no special cases are allowed, and the slang people must also abide by the laws of the Tang Kingdom." ”
A group of slang chieftains were overjoyed and expressed their willingness to accept the laws of the Tang Kingdom.
Only Xian Hui realized the true meaning of this sentence, and said with a heavy face: "Do slang people's wealth and slaves also have to be given up?" ”
Wen Yi affirmed: "There are no slaves in the Tang Kingdom, everyone is a child of the country and has their own household registration, and your previous semi-slave rule must be abolished." ”
Only then did everyone finally understand what was going on, and they began to jump to their feet. To sum up, without slaves, we cannot go to the fields and cultivate them ourselves.
But the 60,000 people who went to the training camp before and brought back a lot of Tang Guo's rules, they also knew that it was unrealistic to continue to do whatever they wanted like before, so they took the initiative to take a step back.
"We are willing to give our slaves a household registration and promise not to trade in human beings, but they will continue to work for us."
Wen Yi directly refused: "It's impossible, all according to the standards of Tang Guo, if they are willing to work in your house, they must also sign a labor contract." ”
Those chiefs had no choice but to ask Xian Hui and Xian Yun for help.
Xian Hui said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, is there no room for negotiation?" ”
Wen Yi said: "I still say the same thing, the laws of the Tang Dynasty cannot be trampled on." ”
The chiefs were furious, and it was literally threatening to kill them. And Wen Yi's tough attitude also made them a little angry, and they didn't take them seriously at all.
They all said that in this case, they would fend for themselves.
Wen Yi just watched them perform lightly and didn't say a word.
Xian Yun sneered and said, "Fend for yourself? Hide and seek in the mountains and old forests? If you are willing to give up your current fine clothes and food, you can go to the mountains and forests to live a hard life without clothes and food. ”
"Oh yes, I want to warn you, you don't think that the people below are still the same as back then, do you?"
"Believe it or not, if you go back and say that you oppose the laws of the Tang Kingdom, those docile people will become hungry wolves and eat you."
Everyone looked at each other, and then they all looked at her with ugly faces, and said, "You are the high priest of the slang, do you want to betray us too?" ”
Xian Yun controls the beliefs of the slang people, and with the status of the heir of the Gao Liang Xian clan, her words are more effective than those of these chiefs. Now that she is on Wen Yi's side, the slang chief really has no choice.
What's more, there are also many young people in their tribe who have gone to the Tang Kingdom for training and accepted the Tang Kingdom's thoughts......
All these factors are combined, and it is no longer possible for them to take people into the deep mountains and old forests to fight guerrillas.
What's more, Tang Guo also has powerful firearms, and these days they have also seen the power of muskets and artillery, and few people really dare to really be enemies of Tang Guo.
Wen Yi saw that the time was almost up, so he changed his words and said, "I allow you to keep your wealth, and the land can be compensated with money at a discount. ”
"As for how to survive after losing the land...... Which is more profitable, business or farming, I don't need to say more, right? I can have someone direct you in business, and as long as you do it well, life will only be better than it is now. ”
Now the chiefs are really tempted.
They know better than anyone how profitable business is, more than ten years ago, Tang Guo used the power of slang people to open up the trade route with Ningzhou Fu clan, and they made a lot of money as two dealers.
If Tang really pointed out to them the trade route, it was not unacceptable.
Of course, if they could, they would still be willing to slave the land, but now there is no way but to settle for the next best.
"Is Your Majesty serious?"
At this time, an official shouted: "Bold, how can Your Majesty's Chrysostom deceive you." ”
The chiefs froze, and turned to look at him.
Wen Yi smiled and introduced: "This is Wu Ba, the director of the Market Department of the Datang Ministry of Commerce, and he will assist you in setting up a commercial bank." ”
It turned out to be the God of Wealth, and the expressions on the faces of the chiefs suddenly turned into flattery, and no one can offend him.
And seeing that Wen Yi called all the people from the Ministry of Commerce over, they no longer had any doubts.
So this matter was settled, and the Lingnan slang people officially joined the Tang State, fully accepted the rule of the Tang State, and implemented a unified law.
Seeing that everyone agreed to the conditions, the stone in Wen Yi's heart was completely put down, and said with a smile: "When you enter the household registration, I will ask people to give you a Han surname and a Chinese name, and you will use a new name in the future." ”
"I will also decree that no one should call you barbarians or slang people anymore. We have a common ancestor, we are descendants of China, we are brothers and sisters, and now we are all Tang people. ”
