Chapter 16 Defending for Attack, Harem
Fu Zonglong was affirmed, his spirit was lifted again, and he said: "Weichen thinks that our army should first seize the six eyes outside the water east of the Yachi River and share the moat with the rebels. Then build fortifications at various ferry crossings, and then order officers and soldiers to practice water warfare......"
“…… According to the size of the ferry, set up water villages, dig deep ditches, build high platforms, and set up beacon towers and forts. Do not let the grain of rice and salt go into the water, and let not a traitor escape out of the water......"
“…… During the farming season, troops were sent to cross the river to harass, so that the rebels did not dare to live by the river; Our army can build up the tuntian along the Yachi River to relieve the difficulty of long-distance transportation of grain and grass materials, stabilize the morale of the army, and boost morale......"
Fu Zonglong's narration made Zhu Youxiao more credible, taking defense as an attack and blockading and besieging it, which was exactly the principle and purpose of his desire to completely solve the Shuixi clan
Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment and asked, "Juntun, how to implement it?" ”
Fu Zonglong obviously had studied and was quite familiar with the human geography of Guizhou, and talked eloquently about the emperor's problems.
"Weichen thought that he could follow the ancestral system and implement Tuntian with the law of the guard. The gathering of guest soldiers is impermanent, and they cannot stay for a long time, so it is better to distribute the tuntian to the meritorious soldiers as a hereditary inheritance, but it is forbidden to buy and sell ......"
"The source of the tuntian, one can clean up the original fields of each guard, and the other is the land of the thieves. If this policy is carried out, the imperial court will not attract immigrants, and the number of households in Guizhou Province will naturally increase......"
Zhu Youxiao didn't respond immediately, and lowered his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought. Fu Zonglong bowed slightly and waited respectfully.
This is also equivalent to immigration, but the guest soldiers are left in Guizhou. However, with a little refinement, it seems to be a good solution.
Zhu Youxiao pondered for a long time, raised his head, and asked: "According to Fu Qing's estimate, how many people do the guest soldiers need, how long does it take to quell the rebellion, and how much does it cost?" ”
Fu Zonglong hesitated, hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Weichen thinks that the army should be more than 50,000 yuan, and the time should be three years, and the annual cost may be 800,000 taels. ”
For a long time, the emperor did not say anything.
Fu Zonglong secretly regretted that he had said it for too long and spent too much, and he had scared Banzai. But this is already my own efforts to talk about it.
Just as Fu Zonglong was waiting apprehensively, the young emperor suddenly laughed and said loudly: "Fu Qing, don't charge too hard!" ”
Fu Zonglong looked up suspiciously, only to find that the emperor had turned around and left, heading straight for the main hall.
After re-ascending to the seat, Zhu Youxiao said to Fu Zonglong, who was bowing and standing solemnly, and was a little frightened: "Fu Qing go back and prepare, the holy decree will arrive soon, and you will go to Guizhou to govern." ”
After a pause, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Three years is good, and five years is okay; A million silver a year, I am also approved. Fu Qing must remember that steady progress will be a complete success. ”
Saying that, Zhu Youxiao's face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "I, I don't want to wait until the end of the counterinsurgency, and there is the name of the Shuixian family. ”
Fu Zonglong was overjoyed, but when he heard the last emphasis, he felt a pang in his heart, but he still knelt down and thanked him, "Weichen obeys the order." ”
Zhu Youxiao bowed his head lightly, took the document and handed it to the palace people, and said, "These are the discussions between me and the Ministry of War, Fu Qing will go back and take a closer look." The details of the strategy may vary, but the main idea is the same. ”
"Yes, Wechen will study hard when he goes back." Fu Zonglong put his hands over his head and took the document.
Zhu Youxiao said kindly: "Fu Qing is flat. When I arrived in Guizhou, I inspected the actual situation well, and if there were any suggestions and changes, I went straight to the game. ”
"Wechen understands." Fu Zonglong got up and bowed again.
"Fu Qingke retreated." Zhu Youxiao leaned back and let out a long breath of relaxation.
When Fu Zonglong retreated, Zhu Youxiao leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes slightly, feeling very pleased with his judgment and decision.
It is rare to have an official who can maintain a steady strategy to quell the rebellion, and there is no need to worry too much about the implementation of the strategy set by himself and the Ministry of War.
And the current governor of Guizhou, Wang Sanshan, is certainly a capable general, but his pride makes it difficult for Zhu Youxiao to rest assured. Besides, he is still an old-fashioned general, and what he does does is not in line with Zhu Youxiao's mind.
After resting for a while, Zhu Youxiao seemed to think of something again, sat up, and instructed the palace people: "Proposed decree, Cai Fuyi, who is the governor of Yunnan and the deputy capital of Yunyang, will take office immediately." ”
……………………
Changchun Palace.
Zhang Yu'er stopped her mother's punishment of the little sister, pulled Wan'er to her side, took the wet towel handed by the palace people, and carefully wiped the little sister's face.
"Wan'er is so cute, the emperor doesn't blame her!" Zhang Yuer smiled and pinched her sister's face, and said, "I also packed so many delicious things for you, are you happy?" ”
Zhang Wan'er grinned and said with a smile: "I kowtow well, every time I hit the ground!" ”
Zhang Yuer nodded with a smile, and asked again: "But you can see the white lady, it's a white and fat cat, is it sleeping lazy again?" ”
Zhang Wan'er shook her head and said, "I didn't see the cat!" ”
Zhang Yuer was a little disappointed, but she didn't show it on her face, and told her not to run around in the future, so she sent her to play.
Duan gradually adapted to life in the palace, and became bold and arrogant from being scared and cautious, which made Zhang Yuer very unhappy and asked her to leave the palace and go home.
Seeing that Zhang Yu'er was free, Duan came closer and said shyly: "Yu'er, my mother knows that she is wrong, so she won't yell at people anymore." ”
Zhang Yu'er looked at her mother's cautious expression, sighed helplessly, and said, "Mother must remember that it is already the emperor's special kindness to let you and your little sister enter the palace to accompany you." There are few people who are jealous and red-eyed, and come to find out if it is not. ”
After a pause, Zhang Yu'er accentuated her tone and admonished: "If you can't be cautious, the mother will harm her daughter." Since ancient times, how many concubines have lost their favor and been sent to the cold palace, and their endings may not even be as good as palace maids! ”
Duan's face showed remorse, nodded again and again, and said, "My daughter has become a mother Chitose, and my mother is a little too proud. In the future, it must converge and change. ”
Zhang Yu'er bowed her head slightly, feeling that it was not good to be too deeply responsible, so she pulled her mother to sit down beside her and chatted casually.
"Wan'er, be careful not to touch the treasure mirror." Duan looked up and saw Wan'er standing in front of the table, looking at the treasure mirror that could illuminate people's delicate appearance, and couldn't help but reprimand again.
Zhang Wan'er stuck out her tongue lightly and obediently ran to the side.
Zhang Yuer smiled, she liked this little sister in her heart, but there was still something in her heart. She also wants to be a white lady, but she doesn't know why the emperor is not allowed.
…………………
Kunning Palace.
Empress Zhang Yan is dressing up in the mirror, preparing for the emperor's arrival in the evening.
In the treasure mirror, the pink face, the big eyes that are good at the flow of autumn waves, and the delicate skin that can be broken by blowing are all so bright and clear.
After canonizing Zhang Yu'er, the emperor's visit to Kunning Palace increased significantly. This made Zhang Yan quite happy, and she also felt that she could touch the emperor's mind more and more.
The Ninety-Five Supreme who is affectionate and righteous, knows how to cherish, and even knows how to compensate, is really rare in history.
Zhang Yan has read a lot of books, especially the "Female Commandments" that feudal society requires women, and she is even more familiar with it.
Therefore, she never went to the Qianqing Palace, so as not to be suspected of "women interfering in politics"; For Zhang Yuer's pregnancy canonization, she was a little jealous in her heart, but she was not too angry.
The emperor, the three palaces and six courtyards are not normal, and it is not uncommon for palace maids to be lucky, and there are many palace maids who are humble and noble, Wanli's mother, Empress Dowager Li, is an example.
But Zhang Yanyu is humble and generous, and she doesn't dare to bear the bad reputation of being jealous, and the emperor obviously feels that she has been treated badly and has been diligent.
After the dressing was finished, the personal palace maid Fei'er stepped forward to help Zhang Yan get up, and complimented with a smile: "The queen Chitose is so beautiful that she has beaten Xi Shi Diaochan, no wonder the emperor is so diligent!" ”
Zhang Yan was used in her heart, but she didn't show a smug look, and said with a faint smile: "Don't be frivolous, don't go and see how the soup is cooked." ”
Fei'er said yes and turned to go outside.
This is the maid that Zhang Yan brought into the palace from the house, and she is a very close person. has lost his mother since he was a child, and he has no sisters, so it is impossible to get the same treatment as Zhang Yuer.
Walking to the window, Zhang Yan looked outside, looking forward to her husband's coming, but she was also a little apprehensive.
I heard that my father sent someone to deliver a message, and someone wanted to partner with him to do some business. It's a legitimate business, similar to a good thing like publishing a book. can not only get a name, but also profit, Zhang Guoji is quite moved.
Although her father said it very well and sounded good, Zhang Yan was still more cautious. His identity is different from the past, the mother of a country, if he is not careful, stigma will fall from the sky.
"Long live the ride!" The palace people screamed, interrupting Zhang Yan's thoughts, and she hurried out of the palace to greet her.
Colonel Zhu You stepped forward to pull up the queen, smiled and entered the palace hand in hand, looking in a good mood. Walking to the gate of the hall, Zhu Youxiao stopped, sniffled, and asked, "It's so fragrant, what kind of good dishes do you make?" ”
Zhang Yan hurriedly replied: "It's a nourishing soup cooked by the concubine, and I'm going to send it to Concubine Yu to replenish her body." ”
"The orb has a heart." Zhu Youxiao patted the queen's hand lightly and walked into the hall.
Zhang Yan hurriedly ordered the palace people to set up a meal, and personally stepped forward to serve tea.
Zhu Youxiao took the tea bowl, took two sips, smelled the faint fragrance in his nose, couldn't help but look up at Zhang Yan, and praised his chin: "The queen is getting more and more beautiful, and this makeup is also good-looking." ”
Zhang Yan is only sixteen years old this year, and she is still growing, which is very different from more than half a year ago, and she is more mature. In addition, it is in youth, even if you don't dress up, you also have a seductive charm.
Hearing the emperor's praise, the queen still couldn't help blushing, a little shy, and interrupted: "Your Majesty, I see that you are very happy today, but what is the good news?" ”
Zhu Youxiao bowed his head slightly and said: "It's a matter of government affairs, and there are indeed some good news. ”
Zhang Yan immediately stopped asking, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the concubine has something to do. ”
Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "If the queen has something, she doesn't need to be so formal." ”
Zhang Yan told her father what she said truthfully, and the young emperor, who had just looked relaxed, listened to it with a solemn and serious expression.
