Chapter 1935: Jingzhong Garrison
Wang Anbang's funeral was held very grandly, because the emperor went in person, so the civil and military officials, including the three princes in Beijing, also participated, and the funeral was even more empty, and the grand occasion was unprecedented!
But the people don't have a good impression of this Lord Wang Anbang, and the reason why they came to help the old and the young is not to send him off for the last time, but to see the excitement......
Regarding Wang Anbang's death, there may be many people who gloat, but there are really not many people who are sad, except for his wife and children...... His wife may not be sad.
At the funeral ceremony, Xiao Chen also paid special attention to Mrs. Li, and always felt that she was holding back a smile.
People say that the three joys of middle-aged men are to get promoted and get rich and die of their wives, and it seems that for a middle-aged woman who is empathetic and don't fall in love, the death of her husband is actually a happy event......
"A thousand years have not returned, the virtuous have no choice, they have always given each other away, and they have returned to their homes!" Lu Jing on the side suddenly sighed.
"Relatives or remnants of sorrow, others have also sang, what is the way to die, and the body is the same mountain." Xiao Chen echoed casually, and said in his heart, what are you pretending to be sad with Lao Tzu? I think you're the happiest person in this!
"Hmph, relatives may not have any sorrows." Lu Jing said, "Wang Anbang's sons, nephews, and clansmen may be thinking about dividing up his family property at this time." ”
"Huh? No, Wang Anbang has a son. Xiao Chenqi said.
"There is a son, but Wang Anbang is an old man, the eldest is less than ten years old, the second is only four years old, and he can't run a family at a young age." Lu Jing said.
"Isn't there still Mrs. Li?" Xiao Chen said, "Why can't it be his relative's turn." ”
"Mrs. Li is Wang Anbang's stepwife, she has no children of her own, the eldest is left by Wang Anbang's ex-wife, and the second is born to a concubine, but she also died in childbirth, and now his clan relatives have seized this point to drive away Mrs. Li, and they will raise the two sons and nephews."
"Isn't this vexatious?" Xiao Chen said, "Besides, with you, Lord Lu, in charge, I don't think they dare to do this." ”
"How did I come forward?" Lu Jing shook his head again and again, "I don't know who spread the rumors, I don't know who has a lot of tongues to spread the rumors, I don't have anything unclear with Mrs. Li, I can't avoid suspicion now, how can I get involved in other people's family affairs?" Besides, this kind of thing is not easy for the official to manage, and it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs. ”
"Huh? Rumors are coming out? Xiao Chen was taken aback, "Who is the hell who came out!" ”
"I'm not suspicious of you." Lu Jing sighed and said, "But Jinyiwei is not monolithic." ”
"Marquis Zhu should really rectify the Jinyi Guard, depreciate what should be degraded, and kill what should be killed! Now the brocade clothes and guards are mixed, and it's too special. Xiao Chen said.
"Hehe, do you think Marquis Zhu doesn't want to? He's also powerless. Lu Jing smiled bitterly.
This is also true, because there are not only the emperor's people in the brocade guard, but also several princes' people, including his Xiao Chen's people...... These people Zhu Xiaochuan wanted to move, but they couldn't move, and more often they had to pretend to be confused with their eyes open and closed.
But Jinyiwei's power is too great, and there is no other power agency that can check and balance, if Xiao Chen stays in the palace and does not leave, his West Palace Editing Factory has developed so far, and may be able to compete with it a little, and now there is no need to mention it, it is all in name only.
"Have you heard?" Lu Jing suddenly asked another inexplicable word.
"What did you hear?" Xiao Chen said.
"The emperor is going to set up a few more garrisons in Fengyang City...... Now our defense forces in Beijing are a little empty, for example, the last time Duan Fengnian rebelled, it flashed us all of a sudden. Lu Jing said.
"Well, the forbidden army is less than 10,000, and the full strength of the Imperial Forest Army is only 50,000, which is indeed a little less." Xiao Chen said.
"The emperor said that there are 50,000 guards in St. Ann Arbor, and there are more than 100,000 garrison troops in St. Ann Arbor, and there are more than 100,000 troops in Heianjing in Dongying.
"In fact, as long as our territory in Dazhou is stable, there won't be too many garrisons at all." Xiao Chen said, "The Haining Navy Division is actually a garrison directly under the emperor, and there are 100,000 people in total. ”
"Hehe, you think so, the emperor doesn't think so, especially those two princes don't think so." Lu Jing said, "The little prince has a heavy army in his hands, and he is close to Haining, can the two of them rest assured?" ”
"Alas...... It's really sad. Xiao Chen sighed.
"What are you worried about? I'm so worried! Lu Jing said, "The emperor said that he would set up a guard battalion, a 3,000 battalion, a Shenji battalion, 3,000 battalions are heavy infantry, and the guards battalion is light cavalry...... How can we have so many firearms now? ”
"The question is, who is under the jurisdiction of these battalions?" Xiao Chen said, "It's impossible for the emperor to lead it personally, right?" ”
"It's not you or me anyway." Lu Jing shook his head and said no more.
The information provided by Lu Jing was very important, and after the funeral, Xiao Chen immediately repaired a letter to Duanmu Nanfeng, which was equivalent to informing Li Wanyun.
repaired another letter and sent it to Langya Baisha City to Lin Dongyang, which was equivalent to informing Li Yan, and asking Xuan Yiwei to send a letter to Huo Qishan in Yanyunguan in the name of Lin Yue, which was equivalent to informing Xue Jinshan.
Regardless of three, seven, twenty-one, let's talk about it first, and by the way, you can get a few favors.
In short, it is best not to let Li Shi and Li Feng master these garrison troops, otherwise it will be a great disadvantage to Li Qiu!
Since the last time 30,000 Bai Longwei died in a shipwreck, Li Feng can be said to have suffered a great loss of vitality, but what really hurt him was Duan Fengnian's rebellion.
100,000 white dragons, half out of Langya, many officers in Bailongwei are Langya people, after Duan Fengnian's rebellion, these people are all more or less implicated, these officers are the cornerstone of Bailongwei, and their departure is really a catastrophe for Bailongwei!
Although Li Wanjiang did not blame Li Feng for this, Li Feng himself almost died.
What's hateful is that Li Qiu, a little cub, who has never led soldiers when he first arrived, easily wiped out Duan Fengnian, and Li Qiu still led the soldiers under his command......
This made him, who was waiting to see the joke, so angry that he became angry with Zhang Heng and Lin Feixiong, and pushed the two generals who were originally loyal to him to Li Qiu's side.
It's really special to lose my wife and lose my soldiers!
Now the emperor has asked Li Qiu to form a Haining Naval Division, and Haining Bay and Fengyang are close at hand...... This made him even more restless and uneasy.
It was Sun Zhi who gave him an idea and asked him to make a proposal to his father to strengthen the garrison of the capital, because Duan Fengnian's rebellion once threatened the capital division, and the emperor must have considered this, and if you put it forward first, you will also occupy a certain initiative.
Sure enough, Li Wanjiang gladly accepted his suggestion, but he didn't mention the matter of transferring Bai Longwei to Beijing, and he didn't dare to say it himself, after all, the current Bai Longwei is no longer the Bai Longwei of the past......
