Chapter 301: The Battle of Yujun (1)
"It's such a good day that you're not happy to find Lao Tzu here! Get out! Meng Yan rarely had a violent anger, but he could understand it when he saw the person below.
Kneeling at the foot of the stairs was the second prince of the Great Xuan Dynasty, King Yong Meng Jingyi.
The figure behind the screen has been pacing, Gu Qingfeng also hates his son, not to mention his identity as a prince, even a courtier will not have such a desire, Meng Jingyi actually wants to go to business!
"Father, this is discriminating against businessmen?" Meng Jingyi stiffened his neck and responded.
This is looking for death, Meng Yan is not against him doing business, he just feels that he doesn't have this brain, not to mention Meng Jingyi's dream, he wants to do business in the world, Tu Shan's family is a rare business family in the world, and he doesn't dare to say that he is in business, this rebel dares to speak out like this.
Hearing Meng Jingyi's response, Meng Yan immediately became chaotic with the air flow around him, Gu Qingfeng behind the screen felt it and rushed out under huge pressure, Meng Yan was not only furious, he would not show his Jiuchen Gong in the face of the assassin, there was only one possibility for his own son to provoke his Jiuchen Gong, Meng Yan was already crazy.
"Your Majesty!" Gu Qingfeng yelled desperately.
Meng Yan immediately stopped urging when he heard Gu Qingfeng's voice, and at this moment he realized that he had been confused by the son below.
"Get out! If you make your father angry, you don't want to live! Gu Qingfeng hurriedly sent Meng Jingyi out when Meng Yan's attention was on him, saying that he was scolding, but in fact he was protecting.
At this moment, Meng Jingyi crawled out with a roll, without the unruliness at the beginning, he never expected that his father's words would force his father out of the breath of murder, and his mother's words reminded him that it was important to escape at this time.
Meng Yan looked at the place where Meng Jingyi disappeared and stayed in place, Gu Qingfeng saw this and hurriedly went up to smooth Meng Yan, coaxing Meng Yan while scolding Meng Jingyi, and after a long time Meng Yan spit out a few words: "I'm angry with Lao Tzu!" ”
Gu Qingfeng also breathed a sigh of relief, sitting next to Meng Yan without any image, he was really scared to death.
"You dissipate your anger, the concubine will definitely teach him a lesson later!"
Meng Yan shook his head, let out a long breath, and then said slowly: "I'm not against him doing business, he is a prince, and he should be able to contribute to the country's finances, but look at the place he chose, Donghai!" Is this kid crazy? ”
"Qilang, I'm afraid that the second child is aware of that matter, and the concubine thinks he wants to hide." Gu Qingfeng suddenly lost the brilliance in his eyes.
Meng Yan was stunned for a moment, and then helped Gu Qingfeng up and comforted: "You think too much, he wanted to go to the East China Sea to discuss this matter with the prince, but the prince disagreed, and the prince's letter arrived yesterday." ”
Hearing these words, Gu Qingfeng slowly regained his spirit, and said hatefully: "That is the case, that is, the second child is too ignorant of lifting!" ”
"Although the East China Sea is already at the end of the crossbow in the Central Plains, the relationship between the Central Plains and the East China Sea will definitely not be happy in the next hundred years, and the danger of doing business in the East China Sea is only one of them, and the most important thing is that his identity is easy to be used."
"Yes! Now that the battle of Yujun is imminent, at this time, you must not let the stinky boy go to the East China Sea, and the concubine thinks that he should go to Hanyang City to complete the marriage! Gu Qingfeng wanted to divert the topic, but what she said was without missing a trace, perhaps because she knew Meng Yan too well.
"That's right, the battle to recover Yujun is almost ready," Meng Yan was slightly stunned, the corners of his mouth rose, and he reached out and pinched Gu Qingfeng's face, he only then understood the meaning of Gu Qingfeng's words, this was to find Meng Jingyi to go down the stairs.
"Okay, knowing the son Mo Ruomu, you still have to respect other people's opinions about the marriage, but you really have to have a good chat with the second child about this matter, the third child's marriage has been decided, only he floats outside all day long, even if we are royal, it is not good not to give someone an explanation."
Although the Great Xuan Dynasty does not advocate arranged marriages, after all, it is a child of the royal family, and it is not something that ordinary families can access, as the Empress of the Great Xuan, Gu Qingfeng will hold a Queqiao meeting every year to give young men and women of Daxuan school age a chance to get in touch, and the family background is indeed no longer in the scope of royal consideration.
The crown prince married Nie Qian, the daughter of Nie Huan, the prince of Taiyuan County, and the king of Shu married Mu Yue, the daughter of Bo Muqing of Ba County, but Meng Jingyi and Yong'an made Guo Yun's second daughter Guo Xue have been entangled.
Although this Guo Yun is a subordinate, how many of the entire Daxuan are not subordinate? In order to stabilize Ba County after the new policy, Meng Yan deliberately asked Guo Yun to make this Yong'an order, and his political achievements were remarkable.
Guo Yun will attach a private letter every time he submits a report, and the meaning between the lines is to ask the royal family, Guo Xue of his family is twenty-four years old, and the relationship between him and King Yong has always been unclear, so that everyone dare not ask about Guo Xue's marriage.
"Well, the concubine immediately ordered someone to summon Guo Xue to Hanyang City, it just so happens that the construction of Hanyang City is almost over, and the yamen of all divisions are almost there, and holding a wedding for them on the day of the opening of the city can be regarded as an explanation to Lord Guo."
"Well, let people keep an eye on him and escort him to Hanyang City!"
When Gu Qingfeng was about to go down to make arrangements, Meng Yan suddenly said: "You tell him, I don't want to let him go to business, and after he gets married, let him go to Yujun as an inspector, and let him see if there is any hope of continuing to do business between the Central Plains and the East China Sea!" ”
Gu Qingfeng's body trembled, but he didn't refute, Meng Yan is the father, the father and son have compromised, she can't stop it, even if she is unwilling to let Meng Jingyi do business in her heart, but the emperor has decided something, who can object.
Time was very soon, in the days when the Great Xuan moved the capital to Hanyang City, the generals from all over the country, whether it was the Xuan Army or the Ning Army, were cleaning up the rerecovered cities, sorting out local affairs, and gradually restoring normal life order.
The time when the East China Sea and Beimu were raging was basically over, the Beimu people had completely collapsed, they had all retreated to the northern grasslands, there was a crisis within them, and division was inevitable.
Although they have always claimed that the most elite soldiers and horses are still in Liaodong, in fact, everyone knows that the East China Sea people on the battlefield in the Central Plains are all milky children.
Now the only places where the East China Sea people are entrenched are Liaodong, Youdu, Yujun and Jianghuai are left, of course, Xiao Yu can't let the Xuan army enter the north, so Meng Yan doesn't think about the war between Liaodong and Youdu.
However, Xiao Yu was very generous this time, and took the initiative to give up Yujun to Xuanjun, which Meng Yan understood very well, Xiao Yu never forgot the shame of Jinling, and he wanted to reorganize half of the soldiers and horses to recover his Jinling.
Yu County is not difficult to fight, the difficult thing is the strategic location of Yu County, once all the attacks from Songjiang, Gusu, Jiacheng, Qiantang City and Yu County City will be broken, taking a few cities is not what Meng Yan wants, what he wants more is a complete Yu County.
Yujun is a natural place for sailors to train soldiers, whether it is the local people or the geographical location is the best choice, in the future, Gusu and Songjiang must be returned to Daning, but for the control of Jiacheng, Qiantang City or Yujun City, Meng Yan is bound to take, although Meng Jingyi thinks of bastards, but one thing reminds Meng Yan that Yujun is a maritime trade artery.
Looking at the dripping spring rain outside the hall, Meng Yan had a plan in his heart, and softly called Excellence to come in, and the experience of excellence over the years has become more and more stable.
"Excellence, are Di Xin and Lu Ping in Hanyang?"
"General Lu has returned to the station, and Di Hou is still discussing military discussions with Hu Shuai in Hanyang, and it is said that he has already fought with Hu Shuai and them."
From the excellent words, you can tell that Lu Ping's status in the hearts of these young people is not high, and there are even some disdains.
"Well, go and ask Hu Shuai and Di Xin to come over, immediately!" Meng Yan arranged, suddenly stopped Zhuo Zhuo again, and after a little contemplation, he said: "Go and call the third division and Yuan Huaiying and Fang Keming together, just say, eat!" ”
Everyone was confused and entered the Hanyang Palace, the Hanyang Palace is the residence of Meng Yan and Gu Qingfeng, the entire imperial city except for a Hanyang Palace, the other palaces are the offices of the various departments, when they moved over, many people proposed that the name of "Begonia Garden" should not be used again, but Meng Yan felt that the meaning of "Begonia Garden" was different, and specially named "Begonia Garden" in the palace group in front of Hanyang Palace.
The group entered Hanyang Palace but did not have the intention of eating, they were all waiting for Meng Yan to speak, they knew in their hearts that His Majesty must have an idea about the war in Yujun.
However, to their surprise, Meng Yan seemed to attach great importance to this dinner, and did not mention a word about the war during the whole meal, but it was more related to their private lives, and the queen also came out to eat and drink with everyone during the banquet.
After the meal, Gu Qingfeng took all the waiters out after serving tea to everyone with the attitude of a hostess, Gu Yanfeng was the person who knew Meng Yan's state of mind the most, and after taking a shallow sip of tea, he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, it must be the matter of Yu County that bothers you?" ”
"What Qi Guogong said is right, I summoned you here to discuss the affairs of Yu County, I don't want to break Yu County." Meng Yan goes straight to the point and refuses to greet him.
The people present immediately began to think in their minds, especially Di Xin, who was the main general who recovered Yujun, he did not return with Lu Ping this time, but stayed in Hanyang City to ask for a large amount of military resources and grain and grass in the Shutai, mainly because he didn't want to destroy the Yujun Zhucheng, he preferred to be able to solve it peacefully.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that we should take advantage of this momentum to pacify the cities of Yujun with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying." As a soldier, Yu Geng hopes to solve the war in the form of a battle as soon as possible.
"What Hu Shuai said is not right, but the old man thinks that Yu Jun can't fight like elsewhere, and the best thing is to solve it peacefully." Yan Guogong Yan Lan put forward a different opinion, and seeing that Yu Geng's beard was windless, Yan Lan knew that this was anger.
"Tiger Shuai wait a minute, don't get angry, let the old man tell you?"
Yu Geng's beard didn't move, but the anger on his face didn't subside, he just snorted, expressing his dissatisfaction.
Yan Lan's attitude towards Yu Geng doesn't matter, people in the army have always been like this, especially the hot-tempered Yu Geng didn't get angry on the spot, which is already giving face.
"Your Majesty, Hu Shuai, and all of you, Yu Jun is the point of contention between my dynasty and Xiao Ning Dynasty in the future, Yu Jun can't be rotten in our hands, our dynasty needs Yu Jun as a springboard to seize Songjiang, and Songjiang may be the key factor in changing the two dynasties."
Gu Yanfeng raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, he hadn't thought deeply about Songjiang's problem, he immediately searched in his mind, and then his eyes lit up and looked at Yanlan, Gu Yanfeng understood.
"It is reasonable to say that Songjiang is the mouth of the great river, if our dynasty blocks Songjiang, Xiao Ningchao will lose at least one-seventh of its income, and at the same time, it can also curb the hypocrisy and grievances of Xiao Ningchao and the people of the East China Sea." Gu Yanfeng continued.
Yu Geng looked at Meng Yan with a puzzled expression, he didn't understand politics, let alone the impact of commerce and trade on the country.
