Chapter 374: The Successor Cultivated by Li Cun (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
…
1st Military District, 1st Army, Pioneer Battalion.
Seeing Yue Fei coming, someone immediately went to report to his army commander, that is, Yue Fei's eldest son Yue Yun.
Yue Yun can be the commander, but he has nothing to do with Yue Fei.
No.
It can't be said that it doesn't matter.
If Yue Yun's father wasn't Yue Fei, with Yue Yun's military exploits, he might have been promoted to the position of commander.
Yue Fei followed Li Cunnan to fight in the north when he was less than twenty years old, and he had no time to teach Yue Yun at all.
And Yue Fei's original wife, Liu, cheated on others because Yue Fei didn't go home all the year round, and later simply ran away with others, leaving the young Yue Yun.
Yue Yun, whose parents were not around and was born in troubled times, saw the tragedy of troubled times since he was a child, so under the education of his grandmother, Yue Yun set up a great ambition to protect his family and defend the country at a very young age.
Yue Yun has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, joined the army at the age of twelve, and was incorporated into the team of the general Zhang Xian by his father Yue Fei and became a pawn.
Under Zhang Xian's careful teaching, Yue Yun studied hard and practiced hard, which can be described as both civil and military, and has the style of his father.
Once, Xiao Yueyun rode a horse with the soldiers to practice climbing a mountain, and accidentally fell to the ground when the horse stumbled on its front hooves.
Yue Fei was furious when he saw it, and accused Yue Yun: "This is all caused by not practicing seriously on weekdays, if you are on the battlefield, won't you miss a major national event?" He immediately ordered Yue Yun to be pushed out and beheaded.
The soldiers hurriedly pleaded, Yue Fei remembered that Yue Yun was young, and finally ordered Yue Yun to be beaten with a hundred military sticks, and then the matter was stopped.
Since then, Yue Yun has practiced even harder, and has developed a pair of steel and iron bones.
Don't look at Yue Yun is only seventeen years old now, but he is already a "veteran" who has experienced a hundred battles.
Five years ago, when Zhang Xian was transferred by Li Cun to the Sichuan-Shaanxi region to suppress bandits and use the Song army to form a new military region, Yue Yun also followed.
In the battle to capture Kuizhou, Yue Yun held an iron cone gun, charged forward, unstoppable, and was the first to climb the long-defeated Kuizhou City.
Later, Yue Yun went west with the army and recovered Yunyang, Wanzhou and other places, and made military exploits in every battle.
Since then, the army has called Yue Yun "the winning official".
- Officials are the honorific title for men in this era, and "win" means to win and be undefeated.
Later, because there was no war in the Tenth Military Region formed by Zhang Xian, Yue Fei transferred Yue Yun back to the First Military Region.
In these years, when there were frictions or wars with the Jin Kingdom and the tribes on the grassland, Yue Yun fought many times and often made great contributions, but most of them were concealed by Yue Fei and not reported, and Yue Yun had no complaints.
Later, it was Zhang Jun who knew about Yue Yun's merits and insisted on reporting his merits to Yue Yun.
After Li Cun learned of this, he also wanted to give Yue Yun an official position many times, but Yue Fei wrote that his son still smelled milk, and he was afraid that he would not be able to make military achievements, so he resolutely rejected Li Cun's reward to Yue Yun.
Li Cun didn't want to help the seedlings grow, so he ruined Yue Yun's general, so he approved Yue Fei's resignation.
Today, Yue Yun has become the number one fierce general under Wang Gui, the commander of the First Army of the First Military Region, and even one of the top fierce generals in the First Military Region, and he is definitely the leader among the younger generation.
But this is the kind of Yue Yun, after seeing Yue Fei, he didn't even dare to breathe, and saluted honestly and well: "Yue Yun has seen Dutong." ”
"Hmm."
Yue Fei responded in a deep voice, and then hurriedly introduced Li Biaodao: "This is Li Dalang, the son of my deceased, and now transferred to your battalion as a supervisor, how close you are to him, don't mess around." ”
Although Yue Fei had tried his best to control himself, Yue Fei's words still inevitably carried a look of respect and a reminder of Yue Yun.
Yue Fei's respect for Li Biao was not flattery, but the kind of respect that the courtiers had for the future monarch.
There's not the slightest hint of childishness in this.
Yue Fei, a stunned young man, was so respectful to Li Biao, it can be seen that he must be extremely satisfied with Li Biao, the prince.
And that's exactly what happened.
Li Biao is a friendly person, and he has the strength of an eldest brother as a father.
Li Cun has many sons, and he has no time to manage, so since Li Biao grew up, Li Cun's children are all managed by Li Biao.
And among Li Cun's sons, there are also many lamps that are not fuel-efficient, such as Li Pestle, who is not afraid of death, who turned out to be a demon king of the mixed world.
Once, Li Pestle and the other three princes, because of curiosity, secretly went to visit the Qinglou, but drank too much, and fought with a few people who went to Beijing to take the exam because of jealousy.
Li Cun was furious, and said in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military that the prince had committed the same crime as the common people, and he would throw Li Pestle and the four of them to Dali Temple to deal with them according to law.
After Li Biao learned about it, he was willing to be punished on behalf of his four younger brothers on the grounds that his supervision was not in place.
This touched a lot of ministers.
So, those ministers jointly interceded, saying that Li Pestle and the four princes were not evil, but those few sons went to Beijing to catch the exam, but they lingered in the Qinglou, and also borrowed wine to make trouble, not worthy of the name of "scholars".
Only then did Li Cun open the net, and only threw Li Pestle and the four of them into the army for discipline.
Something similar happened to Bibi.
Therefore, Li Biao has a great prestige among Li Cun's children, and everyone obeys Li Biao, the eldest brother.
As for those ministers who were moved by Li Biao or something, they were actually.
The main reason is that Li Biao, who was taught by the great Confucianism of the world, was loyal and filial piety, and attached importance to the rule of culture, unlike Li Cun, who regarded the literati as a tool man, and found it out when he used it, and hung it aside when he did not use it.
The key is that two years ago, Li Cun suddenly wanted to go on a southern tour and let Li Biao, who was only thirteen years old, supervise the country.
After the courtiers' persuasion was fruitless, Li Cun left a holy decree and put it behind the plaque of "Zhengda Guangming", and then led the East China Sea Army and the Tiger Ben Army to the south.
After Li Cun left, Li Biao showed a very professional quality in handling state affairs.
At that time, many people who realized it later knew that Li Biao had been taken by Li Cun since he was ten years old, watching Li Cun deal with government affairs, and even watching Li Cun deal with national affairs, when he was eleven years old, Li Cun began to teach Li Biao to review and read the chapters, so that Li Biao could participate in dealing with national affairs, and when he was twelve years old, Li Biao had already begun to help Li Cun review the chapters, and even help Li Cun deal with simple national affairs.
Of course, Li Biao at that time was still too immature, and it was still too child's play to let him handle state affairs alone, so Li Cun transferred Li Gang, Liu Yanzong, Shi Liai, Zhao Ding, and Chen Kangbo back, and together with Lu Jiang, Zhang Shi, Qian Zai, Tang Ke, Zhang Bangchang, Li Guang, and Song Jiang, they formed the 12th National Congress of Auxiliary Ministers to help Li Biao deal with government affairs and national affairs.
It is also time for Li Biao to become famous.
At that time, Jin Ren didn't know how he knew that Li Cunren was not in Jingshi.
Coincidentally, at that time, Wanyan Zonghan wanted to help Wanyan build momentum, so he took 50,000 fine horses with Wanyan to "borrow grain" outside Songting Pass.
The front line immediately transmitted the news back to the Daqian court.
When the civil and military officials of the Daqian Dynasty learned that the Jin people had come to borrow grain at this critical time, they immediately quarreled.
Some people fought the main battle, thinking that Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Su Dong should be allowed to lead the army out of the customs to meet the battle as before, so as not to be seen by the Jin people the reality of the Daqian Dynasty.
Some people are in peace, thinking that the one million stone grain extorted by Yan Zonghan is a drop in the bucket for the Daqian Dynasty, so it is better to give Yan Zonghan first, put a delay in the army, and wait for Li Cun to come back, and then discuss it in the long run.
There are also people who advocate that Li Cun should be invited back by telegram as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation.
At that time, the telegraph of the Daqian Dynasty was not yet developed, and it could be transmitted as far as 70,000 meters.
But this doesn't matter, because the intelligence department of the Daqian Dynasty can still use the powerful post station system of the Daqian Dynasty to turn long-distance telegrams into short-distance telegrams one after another.
This is much faster than the original Feinu Messenger to convey information.
Even if the news is transmitted from Jingshi to Dingnan Road, a few hours is enough.
In addition, at that time, the voyage technology of the Daqian Dynasty was already very mature.
In addition to more and more advanced navigation technology developed by the official and private researchers of the Daqian Dynasty, who attached great importance to ocean-going navigation, the shipbuilding technology of the Daqian Dynasty also made a qualitative leap in the more than ten years since the founding of the Daqian Dynasty.
The shortcomings of wooden ships are manifested in slow speed, limited increase in capacity, poor resistance to wind and waves, small artificial power, and natural wind power to improve the speed of ships.
With the current industrial technology, the pure steel giant ship is too heavy, and the power problem is not easy to solve.
As a result, not long after Li Cun proposed the concept of a steel giant ship and a steam engine, the Daqian Dynasty developed an iron-clad wooden ship with both sails and steam propellers.
Although this kind of iron-clad wooden ship cannot be compared with the steel giants of later generations, it has undergone a series of transformations and upgrades from the internal facilities.
Later, more and more facts proved that the advantages of iron-clad wooden ships, such as sturdiness, large capacity, and ability to resist wind and waves, were far greater than those of pure wooden ships.
Li Cun's car at that time was the most advanced iron-clad wooden treasure ship at that time.
Forty-four zhang long, eighteen zhang wide, the ship has four layers, the nine masts on the ship can hang twelve sails, the anchor weight is several thousand catties, the outside of the hull and part of the main structure are covered with the most advanced steel in the world, and equipped with twelve pairs of the most advanced steam propellers at that time, the maximum speed can reach 45 kilometers per hour.
Even if there is no stop at the port, Li Cun's car can drive back to Nanjing from Dingnan Road in one go, and it will take up to three days and three nights.
At that time, the ministers of the Daqian Dynasty quickly reached an agreement and chose to ask Li Cun to come back to preside over the overall situation.
What made the ministers of the Great Qian Dynasty dumbfounded was that Li Cun had led the East China Sea Army and the Tiger Army from Dingnan Road to the Prince's Continent three days ago.
This frightened the Manchu civil and military forces of the Daqian Dynasty.
Some people advocated that someone should be sent to chase Li Cun back.
Some people advocate that we should quickly send people to talk to the Jin people about "borrowing grain" and stabilize the Jin people first.
There are also people who advocate that the Jin people should be repelled with the force of thunder, so as not to be tempted by the Jin people and become a real southern invasion.
The situation at that time was that it was definitely too late to chase Li Cun back, after all, Li Cun had already left for three days.
Taking a step back, even if you can catch up with Li Cun, it is not something that can be done in a short time.
Moreover, it will take time for Li Cun to rush back.
Therefore, at that time, there were only two ways in front of Li Biao and the Manchu civil and military forces of the Daqian Dynasty:
Either one punch is opened, lest a hundred punches come;
Either agree to the Jin people's "borrowing grain" blackmail, stabilize the Jin people first, and wait for Li Cun to come back and then decide whether to fight or peace?
Coincidentally, the twelve auxiliary ministers left by Li Cun turned out to be six to six, half of them were the main battle, and half were the main peace.
So, the pressure was given to Li Biao, who was only thirteen years old at the time.
Just when the Manchu civil and military forces of the Daqian Dynasty thought that Li Biao would have a difficult choice, Li Biao decisively chose to fight.
Li Biao, who was in charge of the state, supported the main battle faction, and the Privy Council immediately formulated a battle plan, that is, as usual, with Han Shizhong as the commander, and the first, second, and third military regions each dispatched 50,000 elite men and horses, and went out of the pass to meet the Jin army outside Songting Pass.
As a result, the two sides fought tentatively, and after each left hundreds of corpses, Wanyan Zonghan saw that there was no advantage to take advantage of, so he withdrew his troops.
After this incident, Li Biao not only gained more respect among the ministers, but the military was also very satisfied with Li Biao's performance.
The key point is that later it turned out that Li Biao's decision at that time was very correct, because Li Cun went out and came back for a whole year, if Li Biao hadn't made a decisive decision and stopped the temptation to develop in the direction of the big war in time, maybe it would have been troublesome.
By the way, because Li Cun did not come back for nearly a year, some people began to spread rumors, saying that Li Cun must have encountered an accident at sea and wanted to build momentum for Li Biao to ascend the throne and become emperor.
There are also people who advocate that Li Cun's edict left behind the "Zhengda Guangming" plaque be taken out to see what Li Cun has to say.
But all of these were suppressed by Li Biao, Li Biao firmly believed that Li Cun must not have encountered any accidents, and he also followed the advice of Li Gang, Zhao Ding, Chen Kangbo, Li Guang, Song Jiang and others to execute the people who spread rumors that Li Cun died at sea.
A year later, Li Cun returned to the court.
After learning about Li Biao's performance, Li Cun didn't say anything, but just disposed of those who instigated Li Biao to open Li Cun's edict.
After that, Li Cun let Li Biao be responsible for handling government affairs and general state affairs, while he himself hid in the harem to eat, drink and have fun, and only when Li Biao couldn't handle it, Li Cun would personally preside over it.
Everyone can see that Li Cun is already preparing for Li Biao to take over his class.
Some people even speculated that the year Li Cun left was also a test for Li Biao, in fact, at that time, the Daqian Dynasty had always been under Li Cun's control, and the prime minister Lu Jiang and the privy envoy Zhang Shi had always behaved very calmly, and these two people always voted for and against no matter what happened at that time, and the key was never to interfere with Li Biao's decision.
Some people even speculated that Li Cun did not go to the Prince's Continent at all, or that Li Cun went to the Prince's Continent and left behind to deal with any emergencies.
As for the edict that Li Cun left behind the plaque of "Zhengda Guangming", some people speculate that it may be: the holy decree abolishing the position of Prince Li Biao.
In other words, as long as Li Biao opens that holy decree, Li Biao's position as the crown prince will be gone.
It's no wonder that people in the world have so many speculations, in fact, Li Cun is too unfathomable, for so many years, Li Cun has always had no last resort, no one believes that Li Cun will venture to the place where birds don't in the Prince Continent for a whole year for no reason.
However, in any case, Li Biao's excellent performance can be regarded as especial, and it must have been affirmed by Li Cun and the civil and military officials of the Daqian Dynasty.
This also made Li Biao the recognized prince of the Daqian Dynasty and the best candidate for Li Cun's throne.
Yue Fei also thinks so.
Therefore, Yue Fei respects Li Biao, the future emperor, from the bottom of his heart.
Before Yue Fei returned to Pingzhou, Li Cun suddenly called Yue Fei to the palace, and then asked Yue Fei to take Li Biao to the battlefield.
When Yue Fei heard this, his face was full of shock at first, and then he resolutely objected, Yue Fei even made it clear that Li Cun cut off his head, and he would never take Li Biao to the battlefield.
At that time, Yue Fei felt that he had a reason to disobey his orders.
Li Cun is too romantic, and he has countless sons.
Not only that, Li Cun also released all his sons out to exercise.
The key is that many of Li Cun's sons have not only shown outstanding talents, but also have a certain amount of power.
In this case, if Li Biao, who is the most suitable to be the crown prince from any point of view, has a mistake, then the Daqian Dynasty is likely to fall into the battle for the crown prince, which will cause turmoil or even division in the Daqian Dynasty.
I have to say that Yue Fei is not unreasonable.
If Li Biao has an accident, the inheritance of Li Cun's Jiangshan Sheji will be very troublesome.
But Li Cun said to Yue Fei: "The prince advocated sending troops two years ago, which is the impulsive courage of a young man, which is valuable and undesirable. ”
Li Cun also said: "The prince grew up among the literati, read poetry and books, and knew the law of loyalty and filial piety, which is very good, but if he reads too much of this book, people will inevitably be pedantic, and it is easy to be influenced by the literati. ”
There are some things that Li Cun did not say here, that is, Li Cun also let Li Biao brush up his prestige among the soldiers, otherwise it will not be conducive to Li Biao to be in charge of the Daqian Dynasty in the future, these proud soldiers and fierce generals who have been fighting in the south and the north for many years.
"I'd rather the prince die on the battlefield than the prince will bury me in the future because of incompetence."
Speaking of this, Li Cuntui said to Yue Fei with confidence: "Now that I am at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, if the prince can't be in charge of the big cadre, it's still too late to re-elect the prince, even if the prince has an accident, there is me, my big dry sky can't fall, if I die, I know that the prince can't take charge of the big cadre, then my big dry will break the inheritance of the big thing, and the world will fall into fire and water again." ”
Li Cun's heart was relieved, and he said that Yue Fei was moved.
Moreover, Li Cun also said to Yue Fei: "The true dragon is immortal, and those who want to be emperors must be protected by the mandate of heaven, otherwise, people will not die him, and the sky will kill him, and the same will be true." ”
In the end, Yue Fei was persuaded by Li Cun, and Yue Fei took the risk of becoming a sinner of the Daqian Dynasty to bring Li Biao to Pingzhou, and according to Li Cun's wishes, let Li Biao partner with Yue Yun, who can fight well, and let Li Biao and Yue Yun serve as the vanguard of gold cutting......
