I’m The King Chapter 701: : The young phoenix shook the world (4)
Sun Xiao had already bid farewell and left, Gao Yuan and Ning Xin were the only two left in the room. , with a resolute face, his eyes were looking at the fire at this time, his expression was calm, and occasionally the corners of his mouth pulled out a shallow arc, obviously thinking of something beautiful and feeling happy.
Ning Xin has been in Zhengdong Army for a long time, and she has a deep understanding of Zhengdong Army's system. As Ning Zecheng's only daughter, she is familiar with politics every day. But when it comes to actual operation, she is not very familiar with it, but today she saw a living version, and without making a fuss, she disarmed Sun Xiao's military machine.
As one of Gao Yuan's old brothers, Sun Xiao and Cao Tiancheng's faction have always been the strongest faction in the Eastern Expedition Army. Whether it is military administration, civil affairs, or intelligence systems, they all occupy prominent positions. For a stable regime, this architecture is clearly unstable. So first Cao Tiancheng withdrew from the logistics system and turned to run a business company, and now Sun Xiao withdrew from the military system, leaving only Cao Tianci in control of the Overwatch Council. Unknowingly, their strength has been overwhelmed. There is not much left after the disintegration of Gao Yuan.
Of course, Ning Xin also thinks this is necessary. In a political system, there cannot be no mountains, but if a mountain is too strong, it will inevitably threaten the main peak. Even if the mountain is loyal, there will be such and such The safest way is to nip all the problems in the bud. Of course, this is also the best way to maintain friendship.
Next year, the East Conquest Army will definitely be a big year for military expansion and preparations for war. After taking Hetao, the East Conquest Mansion will greatly ease the demand for food, and even have spare power. Anlu's iron ore and copper mines have eliminated the biggest bottleneck that restricted Zhengdong Mansion. If Liaodong is captured, there will be richer mineral deposits there. Ning Xin doesn't know how Gao Yuan knows this, but every time she hears Gao Yuan ridiculing Donghu people for being deep in Baoshan without knowing it, begging for food with a golden bowl, she feels very puzzled. Liaodong is rich in ginseng and furs of various colors. Medicinal herbs, but I have never heard that there are rich mineral deposits there.
"Do you have an idea about the propaganda team?" While thinking, Gao Yuan's voice suddenly came from her ear, Ning Xin's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly withdrew her thoughts. Looking up, she saw that Gao Yuan had turned around, He was looking at himself with piercing eyes.
"There is no such easy thing, but for those slang songs, I have almost compiled the script. The manpower is still being selected. It is best to recruit some troupes from the Central Plains, so that it will be faster. " Ning Xin said.
"Well, you can figure it out." Gao Yuan nodded, "Those Huns who suppressed Donghu Tuobahong are going to vote for us to conquer Dongfu. What do you think?"
Ning Xin is not used to Gao Yuan's jumping rhythm. When talking about one thing, suddenly jump to another topic. After thinking for a while, he said, "This group of Huns is different from those tribes that came to take refuge in you before. This time, more than a dozen of them united together, ambushed Tuoba Hong, and intercepted thousands of Donghu people. They really helped We are very helpful, but it is precisely because of this incident that they have the opportunity to join together, and we naturally welcome them to vote, but they are too powerful, and it is not in our interest."
"You're right, but we can't chill their hearts when they come to vote." Gao Yuan said thoughtfully, "We have to find a way to check and balance them."
"They are very poor, they can start with the economy. Didn't you do well in Jishi City?"
"Allocate land to them?" Gao Yuan thought for a while, "Specific matters are divided into boards. These tribes gathered together. I summoned their leaders once. There is already a leader among them. If we allocate land to them, When they gather together, it is easy to cause trouble. I have to think about this matter again. I will discuss with Mr. Jiang and the others before making a decision. These Huns are all mobilized, and they can gather tens of thousands of cavalry. Great power, for today's Hetao, is also a very important power, relying on He Lanyan alone to check and balance, it is ok in a short time, but it may not be effective in a long time."
Ning Xin nodded: "This matter has to be done carefully."
"I'm here to help Sun Xiao a little more. You have to worry more about this matter. Divide up and win over." Gao Yuan said: "He Lanyan is recruiting some cavalry from inside, but you can't There are too many, so the main thing is to start from other aspects so that they cannot form a joint force."
"I understand."
After saying this, Gao Yuan suddenly slapped his hands, "Okay, these are trivial details, and they are all precautions. Don't worry, you can only take your time. Ha, I'm going back to Jishi City soon. Let's talk This time I have been out for several months, and my son was not around Jing'er even after he was born, so maybe she is very angry, but this time I go back, and I have to accompany her well."
Ning Xin made a sharp turn of her brain again, and finally pulled herself away from the Huns' affairs, "Jing'er is a sensible person, so how can I blame you for this?" A jade pendant was handed to Gao Yuan, "I don't know how long I will stay in Hetao, and I can't go back to congratulate Jing'er, but this congratulatory gift is prepared, this jade pendant is not bad, I gave it to Xiao Xing. "
The things that people like Ning Xin bring out are naturally not bad. For a person like her, ordinary jade can't catch her eyes. Gao Yuan took it and put it in his arms happily. I don't know, but it must be good.
"I've been in Hetao for so long, and I've never heard you play the piano. Back then in Jicheng, I only heard a few pieces, but I really wanted to hear it. Jing'er always said that her piano skills are not as good as yours. One of."
"I came to Hetao, where I brought Yaoqin, and a good one is rare. My original one has already been given to Jinger. If you want to hear it, you don't know when you will have to wait." Ning Xin smiled. road.
Passing his chin, Gao Yuan said: "When I go back this time, I will ask someone to find a good piano for you. Your skill like this cannot be wasted. That would be a pity."
"Then I'll just wait for your good violin, Dudu."
"Of course, it doesn't count when I speak." Gao Yuan laughed.
Ning Xin rolled her eyes, and thought to herself that your words don't count too often, and the only thing these words can be effective is to your own people.
On the road from Dayan City to Pioneer City, the snow has been trampled into disrepair. Hundreds of soldiers escorted dozens of large carts, and they were struggling in the mud, while the flags whistling in the wind clearly showed that they were soldiers from the Third Division of the First Army of the Northern Field Group of the Eastern Army. .
These people are Chen Bin's troops. On the fifth day after Gao Yuan left Dayan City, they finally got the latest piece of ordnance. According to Gao Yuan's previous arrangement, Chen Bin got what he wanted the most. After batching the latest ordnance, he hurriedly left Dayan City, he couldn't help being anxious. Seeing that the snow was already melting, he had to lead his troops to Tengger before the weather completely warmed up. Otherwise, when the snow melted, the road would be muddy and hard to walk. Thousands of Zhao soldiers and prisoners of war, coupled with countless supplies, marching will become a big problem. If you arrive one day earlier, you can start one day earlier, and it will be thawed soon, as soon as it is thawed. It is facing spring sowing, which involves the army's food for next year, and it cannot afford to delay it.
Dong Zhuang ran to the back of a carriage that was stuck in the mud, holding on to the shaft with both hands. Shouting a chant, he pushed the carriage out, and the carriage was full of weapons sealed with oiled paper. Thieves are heavy, this snow is not as hard as before, it is not pressed at all, and it will sink again after not going far, and you have to push it with big guys, but Dong Zhuang is used to it, anyway, he has plenty of snow. Strength, but he felt a little distressed about the new padded jacket he had just given out, which he received in Dayan City. The one he had given out before, after a great war, it looked like a beggar. This new padded jacket is warm to wear. Compared with the ones issued by the court in Yuyang County before, it is much thicker. When you touch it with your hand, it is soft. The cotton inside is very full. The padding is not cotton, but some silk wadding, which is far from warm. Speaking of which, the equipment of the Zhengdong Army is much better than when it was serving as a soldier for the imperial court. A regular soldier like myself is equipped with a horizontal knife and a dagger in addition to the clothes of the body owner. , and wearing chain mail. I heard from Master Chen that this time, all members of their division will be equipped with chain mail. This is the first among the entire army to conquer the east. Most of the other troops It's still leather armor.
What made Dong Zhuang most happy was the military salary, one or two taels of real money every month, and he joined the Eastern Army for just two months, and received two taels of silver, and no one withheld it. He was originally prepared. Thank God if he could get half of it. When the quartermaster handed him two taels of silver, he was still in a daze for a while. However, compared with the salary, the rewards issued in this war are even more generous. Dong Zhuang, because of his outstanding performance, received a full reward of ten taels of silver this time. This is nearly a year's military salary. For Dong Zhuang , This is a lot of money, a lot of money he has never seen before.
In addition to money, there are fields. Although he hadn't got it yet, Dong Zhuang had heard from Captain Fu Xiao that regular soldiers like them could get a hundred acres of land in Hetao. Thinking of one hundred mu, Dong Zhuang trembled a little. With this field, the whole family will never go hungry again, and they will have enough to eat, so they don't have to go hungry anymore.
Thinking of this, looking at Fu Xiao's figure in front of him, he couldn't help being very grateful. Captain, he is not the company commander anymore. The one who took care of me, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have joined the special service brigade. Among the thousands of people who came over at that time, there were very few like me. I heard that there were only a few dozen people, and I heard that less than half of them survived in the end. But it doesn't matter if you die, the East Army has a lot of compensation money, I have also asked Fu Xiao about it, the compensation money will definitely be sent to the families of the war dead, if their families are willing to come to Hetao, Tian will also share , and the homes of these war dead ~IndoMTL.com~ farming is no longer taxable.
Die is worth it! Dong Zhuang sighed in his heart. Looking at the civilian husbands following the convoy, he really sighed in his heart. Many of them were comrades in arms in Yuyang before. If they didn't participate in this big battle, they naturally couldn't be soldiers and couldn't divide the land. Now They looked at Dong Zhuang with envy, and many people who knew Dong Zhuang came to him to ask if they could join the army.
However, Dong Zhuang is just a squad leader now, and he recruits troops. There is a special organization for recruiting soldiers, and he can't recruit people casually. He can't make the decision.
"Or in Tengger, if you can help them, first turn these people into auxiliary soldiers. After all, you have been comrades in arms before. If you can help, you must help."
"Big Dong, his eyes have grown to the back of his head, hurry up and help." There was a roar from the front, Dong Zhuang quickly raised his head, and the company commander Fu Xiao was staring at him, in front of him, A cart was stuck in the mud again. He sighed, glanced at the new jacket that had just been wiped clean with snow, and ran over with big strides. "Here we come, company commander!" (To be continued..)
