The Tragedy of Xiliang Chapter 9 Supervising the Army
Li Mingyi has been very busy recently, in fact, it is not that he is busy, but that Lu Gongtang is very busy.
After Lu Gongtang arrived in Xiliang, Wang Mingren gave them the right to mine iron ore and let them settle down in a small town near Liangzhou City. It's just that there has been a lot of noise in Liangzhou recently, and Li Mingyi asked them to find a way to get more Vulcan cannons.
Li Mingyi first worshipped Lu Mutou who died in battle with Lu Dali and Lu Tietou, and then talked about it.
Li Mingyi said: "The two of you also know that Liangzhou has not been peaceful recently, and the Northern Herding Rangers in the north are scouting around, and it is likely that a war will break out. I don't know if this Vulcan cannon can provide more. ”
Lu Dali and Lu Tietou glanced at each other, and Lu Tietou said: "Third son, it's not our Lu Gongtang who refuses. It's just that although the iron material is available, the gunpowder of the Vulcan cannon is still missing. With a barrel alone, there is no point without ammunition. ”
"What's missing?" Li Mingyi asked.
Lu Tietou said: "Saltpeter." I asked His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness said that the imperial court is now controlling saltpeter, and there is no way to get a large amount of saltpeter from the Liangwang Mansion. ”
At first glance, this method is that there are masters behind the ghost, and Li Mingyi doesn't know who it is. However, Li Mingyi also understood why the master was reluctant to let Lu Gongtang come to Liangzhou, because it was useless to come. Liangzhou is too barren.
Li Mingyi asked: "That means that even if we have the technology, we can't make Vulcan cannons in large quantities?" ”
Lu Tietou nodded and did not speak. Lu Dali said: "Without the Vulcan cannon, we can still make some iron armor, which will not get in the way." ”
Li Mingyi couldn't solve the dilemma in front of him for the time being, so he changed the topic and said, "You guys have been building a temple for the Vulcan Sect recently? ”
Lu Tietou said: "Yes, the Vulcan Sect recently wanted to hold a large festival for the first emperor, so I asked us to build a temple. ”
Li Mingyi fell into deep thought after hearing the news. This kind of thing has always been a characteristic of religion, but the Liangzhou Fire God Sect used to be just an ornament, how could he suddenly think of this.
Lu Dali saw that he fell into deep thought, and thought that he was a little resistant to building a temple, so he quickly explained: "The third prince is against us building a temple? ”
Li Mingyi came back to his senses and said, "Old Hall Master Lu laughed, how can you not do this kind of money-making business. Not only do you have to do it, but you also have to collect money higher. ”
"That's nature."
Li Mingyi explained some other affairs to Lu Gongtang and left.
Coming out of Lu Gongtang, Li Mingyi was a little curious about what the Vulcan Sect was going to do. But before he could inquire, Wang Mingyi appeared.
Wang Mingyi directly intercepted him and said, "I've been looking for you for a long time, come with me to the army." ”
Although Li Mingyi had also read some art of war and had spent time in the army, he believed that there was still a big gap between himself and his second brother, General Mingli. So even if he returned to Liangzhou, he never interfered in the affairs of the army.
Li Mingyi asked with some confusion: "What's the matter, why do you want me to go to the army." Did the North Pasture attack? ”
Wang Mingyi didn't answer, he directly pulled him away, and said, "It's a big deal, you just come." ”
Li Mingyi was pulled by him and hurried to the barracks outside the city. Perhaps because the war is imminent, today's military camp looks very solemn.
The two came to the big tent in the camp, which was already full of generals by this time. It seems that the generals Li Mingyi has seen in Liangzhou since he was a child have all arrived here.
The eldest brother Wang Mingren was sitting in front of the handsome case at this time, with a sad face. The acting coach of the Winter Clothes Legion, Bai Wuving, was standing in front of the map behind the handsome case, with his back to everyone, without words.
Seeing the two of them coming in, an old general led by him took the lead and said, "Okay, the sons of the Liangwang Mansion have arrived." Let's talk about something, Beimu didn't attack again, and called us all here to do something. ”
Li Mingyi knew that this general, named Wu Ziyi, was an old general who had followed King Xiliang the longest and had the oldest experience in the army.
Bai Wudi turned around, glanced at Wang Mingren, and asked, "Shizi, do you say or do you say?" ”
"I'll do it." Wang Mingren stood up and said, "I just received the document from the Ministry of War. Each battalion of soldiers and horses shall have a supervising soldier, who shall be the bishop of the Vulcan Sect. ”
As soon as this order came out, the pot exploded in the big tent.
Wu Ziyi was the first to stand up and said: "His grandmother, what are these dogs doing, a group of god sticks dare to come to be the prison army, I am not afraid that Lao Tzu will break their legs." ”
"yes, Dogday's Stick."
"This group of magic sticks came to the army, and they had a fart fight."
“......”
Bai Wushu waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
Liangzhou was guarded by the Cold-Clothed Legion, and the King of Xiliang was the commander of the Cold-Clothed Legion, but after Wang Shouyi was the king, he rarely directly participated in the affairs of the army. The affairs of the army are generally managed by Bai Wuving. Therefore, Bai Wushu has a high prestige in the army. With a wave of his hand, the tent fell silent.
Bai Wushu said: "Although my Liangzhou belongs to the Ming Dynasty, it has always been dictatorial to the King of Xiliang militarily. Although the king of Xiliang went to the holy capital, he handed over the affairs of Liangzhou to me and the three sons when he left. I don't know if the three sons think that we should carry out this order. ”
Wang Mingyi was the first to stand up and said, "Obey a dick!" Now that Beimu is constantly riding on the north side, it is obvious that there will be a big move soon. Now come out of the prison army, this kind of chaotic observance is a fart! ”
"Yes, yes, the second son is right, I support the second son."
"When do we Winter Clothes need to listen to a group of god sticks?"
The big tent instantly became noisy again, but the old generals and Bai Wushu did not speak.
Wang Mingren, who had been silent for a long time, saw that his emotions in the audience were about to get out of control, and said, "Don't forget, your father's father is still in the Holy Capital City. ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole tent fell silent. Although this group of generals is reckless, they are not unreasonable people. Naturally, he understood that the imperial court took advantage of this time to promulgate this document in order to make them throw a rat into a trap.
Wu Ziyi said: "I have received great favor from His Royal Highness King Liang. If there is no King Liang, there will be no old man, and you can't hurt King Liang because of the matter of supervising the army. ”
The meaning of these words is very clear, for the safety of King Xiliang, he is willing to accept the prison army.
Some of the generals in the big tent also echoed, and it was obvious that Wang Shouyi had a very high reputation in the army.
Seeing Wang Mingren's statement, Bai Wushu also said: "Since this is the case, we will accept the matter of supervising the army." Don't go back ...... you."
"Wait!" Without waiting for Bai Wuyi to finish speaking, Li Mingyi interrupted: "You can't be so impatient in this matter. ”
Bai Wushu was not angry when he interrupted him, and asked, "What do you mean by what the third prince said?" ”
Li Mingyi explained: "Don't forget, the king of Xiliang is the king of Xiliang of the Ming Kingdom. The commander of the Wintercoat Legion is the King of Xiliang. ”
There was silence in the room. Although the commander of the Wintercloth Legion is the King of Xiliang, Bai Invincible has always been the acting commander. Over the years, everyone has gotten used to it.
Bai Wuving's face was expressionless and he didn't say anything.
Wang Mingren hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, my father is not here, and Uncle Bai is the commander of the Cold Clothes Legion." His command is the command of the Father. ”
"Big brother misunderstood." Li Mingyi explained, "I mean, how can the commander of the Wintercloth Legion not notify the army that the army is going to supervise the army? ”
Hearing him say this, Wang Mingren seemed to understand something, frowned and didn't speak.
Wang Mingyi said: "What the hell do you mean? Didn't Uncle Bai know? ”
Li Mingyi smiled and said, "Second brother, Uncle Bai knows, but the commander of the Winter Clothes Legion doesn't know." ”
"Does it make a difference?"
Without waiting for Wang Mingyi to speak, Bai Wudi suddenly smiled and said, "The third prince is really smart, and he understands it. ”
Bai Wudi said to the generals: "The matter of supervising the army is too important, and we can't make decisions at will. It needs to be led by the Coldcoat Legion, and the King of Xiliang personally decides. Now that the King of Xiliang is not in Liangzhou, I will send someone to the Holy Capital to ask the opinion of the King of Xiliang before making a decision. What does the son think? ”
Wang Mingren also smiled and said, "That's exactly how it should be." ”
Wang Mingyi suddenly patted Li Mingyi on the back and said, "You really have a lot of fucking crooked ideas." ”
Li Mingyi was stumbled by him and scolded: "What are you doing." Is this called a crooked idea? I didn't even let them go to the Holy Capital to listen to the teachings of King Liang before taking office. ”
Wang Mingyi's eyes lit up and he said, "Okay, if they send supervisors to our army in the future, I will do it." ”
Bai Wudi suddenly asked, "The third prince is studying with Mr. Zhu?" ”
Li Mingyi nodded and said, "Yes, my master is Zhu Zhang." ”
"His grandmother's is worthy of Zhu Zhang's apprentice, just as bad as him...... Wrong...... Just as smart. Wu Ziyi scolded with a smile.
Wang Mingren said: "Although this plan can solve the urgent need, but what if my father really agrees?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the originally lively atmosphere in the venue quieted down again.
One of them suddenly said, "Yes, what if they bring the handwritten book of King Liang?" ”
"When did King Liang have the habit of writing handbooks." Wang Mingren said, "All the handwritten books of the Liang King need to be identified by the Liang Wangfu. When will King Liang come back, and when will it be clear. ”
Everyone nodded.
Bai Wushu said: "Although this method can solve the urgent need, it cannot cure the root cause. ”
Li Mingyi said: "Uncle Bai said that he was joking. This root needs to be solved by King Liang. King Liang may go to the Holy Capital to eradicate the roots? But maybe I can do something about the roots of Liangzhou. ”
Everyone looked at Li Mingyi, and Wang Mingyi asked, "What can you do, say it quickly." ”
Li Mingyi smiled and said, "I can't say it for the time being, but this matter requires your cooperation from the second brother." ”
Wang Mingyi said: "If you want to cooperate, just say." ”
"How about you borrow some people to use it?"
"No problem." Wang Mingyi agreed.
Bai Wushu also said: "Do whatever the third prince wants." As long as it is beneficial to my Wintercoat Army, we will definitely support it. ”
Li Mingyi saluted everyone and said, "In this way, I will thank you in advance." ”
Autumn has arrived, and so has the storm in the western cool.
