Chapter 31: Zhu Xiongying's contempt
He thought that this matter was over. Who knows, it will never be able to get by.
Since then, in the southern and northern wars, the Lancers have participated in a series of battles. But none of them fought a tough battle. All the way through, all the old brothers are safe. Seems good. But the problem is that other people have expanded exponentially. And the pikemen are still the same as the original. Even a lot of old brothers have been transferred.
When Chang Yuchun joined the army with more than 100 brothers, he Ye Wang had more than 1,000 troops in his hands. But now, Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law can ride on his head to and pee. The old brothers who followed Chang Yuchun to join the army back then, only did not die, they were all commanders and cavalry.
Of course, there weren't many of them.
And Ye Wang also survived.
Fortunately, He Xi arrived. Break that invisible, untouchable ceiling. At the last moment of his life, he was finally knighted.
Is there really no regrets?
He has been immersed in a situation of semi-idleness for half his life. How can there be no resentment? But now, when I was dying, I figured it out.
What kind of person is Zhu Yuanzhang? People who are really useful don't care about their origins. Under Zhu Yuanzhang, there are many generals who are descended generals, and they all have a place. In order to guard Jinling, Kang Maocai fought Zhu Yuanzhang three times. After three battles and three defeats, he finally surrendered. Zhu Yuanzhang is still reused.
If he Ye Wang really had the ability, he would not be implicated by the Xie family.
The reason why he has been idle for half his life is actually that he has the ability. But it's not mediocre. There are too many people with similar abilities to him. There are stains on his body, and it is not worth Zhu Yuanzhang to make an exception.
But his fortune is certainly lamentable, but it is a person of his generation. How many can live to this age, how many people can have a place in the new dynasty, and now there are knighthoods.
He has nothing to regret.
No complaints, no regrets, true or false. Just looked away.
At this moment, he is not most concerned about others. It was He Xi.
He admits that his son's level of fighting has a tendency to be better than the blue, but he understands better that there is no backer. It's hard to get ahead. As long as He Xi has been in a high position. His son must have a bright future. Once He Xi is down. His son won't have much to do.
Probably the same as him.
Ye Shen's strengths and weaknesses are the same, and he fights very well. was thought to be better than himself by Ye Wang, a veteran, and that level was already quite good. But for the rest, there seems to be something missing. And the Ming Dynasty has already passed, and if you can simply fight, you can rise step by step.
------
Ye Wang's death was silent.
It was in the middle of the night when I lost my breath and was discovered, and it was already half an hour later.
Although He Xi has a lot to do. But Ye Wang's funeral is the most important thing for him. Funerals are never for the dead. It's for the living.
When Ye Wang was there, He Xi didn't have to worry about it at all, there was something wrong in the Liaodong Army. But Ye Wang is gone. He Xi had to have an extra mind. Ye Shen may have surpassed his father in the war, but in some intrigues, he is far more spicy than Ye Shen.
In fact, there are also factions in the Liaodong Army. For example, the descendants who followed Ma and Yun and Ye Wang over. Local surrender factions, and so on.
He Xi had seen these people, but he hadn't had much contact. After all, he and Ye Wang are allies, bypassing Ye Wang to contact Ye Wang's subordinates, what will Ye Wang think?
But that's no longer the case. Ye Wang is gone, in order to maintain the stability of Liaodong, in order to have more initiative after the command of the new capital comes, he has to meet with these people. And Ye Wang's funeral is the best place.
Fortunately, He Xi has done a good job in Liaodong in the past few years. Everyone also knows that He Xi is a colt. These people dare not slack off. He Xi's contact was very smooth.
It's easy to finish all this, and He Xi has to write a recital.
The first is to report Ye Wang's death and ask the imperial court to choose another meritocracy. The other is to set up a county in eastern Liaodong. First of all, it is Yingkou, Shenyang, and Liaoyang counties. Responsible for the cultivation of the people of Goryeo and the resettlement of the victims of the disaster in Shandong.
Niuzhuang is Yingkou.
After all, the name Niuzhuang is a bit too ugly. It's called Niuzhuang County, no matter how He Xi listens to it, he doesn't think it's good. Naturally, it is necessary to change the previous stroke, and open the map of the later generations to take a look, called Yingkou. Then let's call it Yingkou. In fact, there is some distance between the real Yingkou and Niuzhuang. Even the Yingkou of later generations may still be in the sea today.
It doesn't matter, though. Now Niuzhuang is the nearest river-sea dual-purpose port from the mouth of the Liaohe River. He said it was Yingkou, and that's it.
Even so, He Xi still had some worries in his heart, Ye Wang's death had too many effects.
He pushed open the study and stepped outside. Suddenly, I heard someone say, "Uncle." ”
He Xi turned his head to look, but it was Zhu Xiongying.
Zhu Xiongying is now fourteen years old and has grown up very tall. It's like a little adult. It's just that he doesn't look down on He Xi at the moment.
Zhu Xiongying had heard a lot of rumors about He Xi, and he had seen He Xi since he was a child, but what kind of ability He Xi had, when he was a child, he had no impression. Now he reads more. There is also a lot of insight. Zhu Biao wrote to Zhu Xiongying, asking him to follow He Xi and study hard.
Zhu Xiongying is even more concerned about He Xi.
So when he arrived in Liaodong, he began to observe He Xi's every move.
There are some things that he may not be able to understand completely. But the royal people, it's hard to be simple. In particular, Zhu Xiongying lost his mother since he was a child and was not close to his stepmother. There are even rumors in the palace that his stepmother is going to kill him to make room for his younger brother.
Zhu Xiongying, who grew up in this environment, still doesn't understand scheming at all.
That's white length.
It's just that after he came to Liaodong, he only felt that it was difficult to live up to his fame.
As the governor of Liaodong, he is not busy with military affairs, but does business, don't think that he doesn't come forward directly. Zhu Xiongying couldn't see what Xi was behind this.
Moreover, Zhu Xiongying went to see the matter of Goryeo immigrants farming.
But I saw that the life of the people at the bottom of Goryeo was extremely miserable. The Han people supervised the work, and they were like wolves and tigers. Zhu Xiongying was very dissatisfied. I felt that the migration of a large number of Goryeo people to Liaodong was not just to enrich the population of Liaodong, and it was natural to regard the Goryeo people as a family. How can this be done?
I feel that He Xi can't do things.
Now Ye Wang is dead. The most important thing is not to ask the emperor's grandfather to discuss the right person. But he was busy with the funeral of a subordinate.
In the end, I came to the conclusion that He Xi couldn't.
If you can't educate one side, can't appease the people, can't enrich the country and strengthen the army, how can such a person be considered a talent. I also asked my father to let me study with him.
Zhu Xiongying is by Princess Anqing's side, and she doesn't feel it yet. In front of outsiders, it is very proud. So, he decided to ask for himself. There is this one thing in front of us.
It was not easy for Zhu Xiongying to see He Xi.
He Xi's affairs are too busy. Today, Zhu Xiongying is also outside He Xi's study. After wandering for a while, I met He Xi. As for He Xi's study, it is an important place for military aircraft, and idlers are not allowed to enter. Although Zhu Xiongying is the grandson of the emperor. But it's still a secret in Liaodong. It's just that I know it's a relative of the princess.
Although it is a relative of the emperor. But there is still a big difference with the prince and sister-in-law.
He Xi's guards also dared to stop him.
He Xi didn't know what to do, and asked, "Your Highness, is there anything wrong?" ”
Zhu Xiongying said: "Uncle, you don't need to be polite, just call me Xiongying." I actually have some questions, and before I came, my father told me that if I don't understand something, I can ask my uncle for advice. The little nephew came to ask for advice. ”
He Xi was very patient with Zhu Xiongying.
After all, he personally estimated that Zhu Xiongying might be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and it seemed to be very good to be the emperor's teacher.
He Xi said, "What's the matter with you?" Let's hear it. ”
Zhu Xiongying was not polite and said: "Uncle, the little nephew has been in Liaodong for a while, and the Liaodong frontier is an important place, with Mongolia in the north and Goryeo in the east. It is bordered by Hebei in the west and is the core of the northeast. The business here is indispensable, but now the little nephew looks at what his uncle does, and it seems that he is not on the point. ”
He Xi said: "What do you think is the point? ”
Zhu Xiongying said loudly with a clear and stupid gaze: "The little nephew thinks that he is ploughing and fighting. ”
