Chapter 6

6.18    Front-front war, generous conditions

The next morning, Imperial Study Room.

"Your Majesty, if you are just a warning, I think you don't have to care, but you should arrange for Lord Wang to set out for a patrol as soon as possible." Wang Feng, Minister of War, said very simply.

"Your Majesty, are you considering giving the prince some comfort? After all, he was in danger." Chen Yan, the Minister of Personnel, considered more, "and let the outside world see Your Majesty's attitude."

"Well, Dai Quan drafted an order and conferred the eldest son of Prince Teng..." Emperor Yongzheng was stuck in half, "I remember that his son is named Wang Ren, right? I heard that he is not a person who can be praised?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, Wang Ren was a famous young man when he was in the capital. He basically did everything except for people." Dai Quan quickly replied, "I heard that he was sent back to Jinling to study by Lord Wang a few days ago."

"Hmph, even if the Tian family's kindness reward cannot be put on such things!" Emperor Yongzheng said angrily, "Chen Aiqing, do the Wang family have other children in the court?"

"This—" Chen Yan hesitated for a moment, and decided to say it more tactfully, "Mr. Wang is devoted to national affairs and neglects to teach his children. The Wang family is not only a legitimate family, but also has no children to serve in the side branches.

There is a nephew Xue Pan, who was originally the eldest son of the Xue family in Jinling. Now he is a hundred-household in the Five Military Camp. Although he has no ability, no evil deeds have been reported."

"Dai Quan drafted an order, and the commander of the nine provinces, Prince Tengzhong, was in charge of his duties, made outstanding achievements, and specially granted his nephew. Xue Pan, a hundred households in the five military camps, was the commander of the cavalry. I hope he could live up to my heart!

Dai Quan, you go to the Wang family to announce the imperial edict yourself, tell him what I meant just now, and also let him pay attention to it, as the saying goes, "Cultivate oneself and manage the family", and then govern the country." Emperor Yongzheng said lightly.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Even though the confidants present twitched, they still responded in unison. This imperial edict also sentenced the "social death" of Wang Ren, the eldest son of the Wang family, and destroyed his future.

At the same time, everyone in the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion and the Bagong’s house arrived except for those who had something to do or had a job other than the ones.

"Hahaha, Brother Niu is such a good method. If this thief continues, the outside will probably think that there is no one waiting for me - huh? What does Brother Niu mean? Not you?" Hou Xiaokang's voice could be heard outside the gate.

"I'm afraid that only Brother Liu can do it." Niu Jizong shook his head, "I thought about taking action, but I also planned to wait until he left Beijing. I haven't even arranged it yet."

"Not Lao Liu." Chen Ruiwen, who is still in the Governor's Office of the Five Army, shook his head, "I sent someone to ask last night, and Lao Liu didn't know about this - wasn't he here?"

"No, right? That old boy Feng Tang has always been dishonest. It was impossible for him to take action. Apart from us in Beijing, there is no other... "Shi Guangzhu, who was also fine, was stunned when she said it.

"That kid doesn't say that he has no courage or ability. Unfortunately, it's not from our eight families." Niu Jizong, who had already guessed, sighed, "I didn't expect that he had left for so many days and had such a way in the capital."

"If my son had such ability, even if I died now, I could still meet my ancestors with a smile!" Chen Ruiwen said with a wry smile.

"Okay, since he has set up such a beautiful stage, if he doesn't continue singing, it will make us old guys seem incompetent." Niu Jizong said with a smile.

"Oh? What are the arrangements for brother?" Hou Xiaokang's eyes lit up. "If nothing unexpected happens, the imperial edict for the Wang family must have arrived soon. We can't make him so comfortable, right?"

"That kid is a sick man. The two girls have arrived at Rongguo Mansion." Niu Jizong said with a smile, "He gave me news a few days ago that the Shi family wants to get the identity of a female general.

Since the founding of the Dashun Dynasty, I have never offered any examples of actively asking for a female general. It would be better for our several families to move on to give her a decent person." Niu Jizong said with a smile.

"That girl's father seems to be gone? It's because of that incident?" Liu Dong frowned, "It's okay to give her some decentness, but if it's just that, it's not meaningful, right?"

"Old Shi has been dead for so long. This year is his ten-year sacrifice. A few of us brothers will take the kids from our family to the Shi family to give incense sticks." Niu Jizong said lightly.

"Old Niu, you've stepped on that person's lung tube. The noise is too loud but meaningless." Liu Fang was the first to object, "Or do you have any follow-up plans?"

"This is just a sight to attract attention. Every July and August, the Liu family in southern Xinjiang will do something. We have never intervened before, but the Wei boy reminded me.

Although there is indeed an impact of the trouble caused by the Qianxiang country, most of it is actually the Liu family's situation. Although it is not convenient for us to intervene directly, it is still okay to let the little guys at home benefit from it.

The Wei family called this 'rotary battle', which means that every year the children from the mainland were sent to the border and then retreated after training for a year. That is, they exercised their combat power and could also take the opportunity to cultivate their own family." Niu Jizong explained with a smile.

"Hmm?" Liu Fang frowned. As the number two figure in the Bagong Group, his opinion is very important. "It's true, but why do you have to be in the southern Xinjiang? Where are the two princes in the northern Xinjiang? And the west?"

"This is also what I want to discuss with you. I plan to contact all the four princes and arrange this matter. Then each family will have to move together." Niu Jizong nodded in agreement.

"This will make the scale bigger. Even if you send 10,000 people in four directions every year, you will have to pay at least 500,000 taels of military expenditure. Those who are poor will not agree." Liu Fang thought of the difficulties at the first time.

"They don't need their consent. We are not going to war with the enemy. We are just worried that the army will stay in the same place for too long and that there will be a problem of "soldiers as generals." Niu Jizong smiled coldly.

"Since I've said this, I guess that kid has arrangements too?" Hou Xiaokang immediately reacted.

"The army can report through the regular training procedures for the military's defense change, and the reasons can be made directly in the palace. Neither of them will object. As for the consumption on the road, the prefectures and counties along the way will be fed according to the wartime rules." Niu Jizong said simply.

"There is no chance, the officials in the prefectures and counties are so poor that they will not give us Qiu Ba food, even a grain of rice is difficult." Liu Fang shook her head, not optimistic about this.

"It's okay, it's better if they don't agree. Who doesn't agree? We will also go to Changping's warehouse in that place to eat according to the war rules." Niu Jizong's smile was unconcealed and cold.

"Hiss--" Chen Ruiwen took a deep breath, "Brother, this kid is going to dig those poor ancestral graves! Who in the world, except for the palace, doesn't know how many tricks are there in Changping the position?"

"It is worthy of being the second young master of the Second Coast who is 'one move, no matter how big the poor people have, they must honestly agree." Liu Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't know how this kid has a brain. Although the method of 'rotating battle' does consume a lot, it is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, so I agreed.

This will train the army and it is in our interests. The most important point he also said that the enemies around Dashunchao are actually not big families, and they cannot afford to consume them at all.

What we do is to spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year, but they have to be on guard all over the country. No matter how enthusiastic they are, they can collapse in ten years!" Niu Jizong said coldly.

"Not enough. Although we all know the benefits, we may not be able to get the two people in the palace to agree without paying a little." Liu Fang said with a complicated expression.

"Disarmament!" Niu Jizong said simply, "The garrisons in various provinces in the mainland have been abolished by 30% to half according to actual conditions. Anyway, these places have long lost their value except for the use of money and grain, and are not our territory."

"Well, this also makes it happen." Hou Xiaokang, Chen Ruiwen and Liu Fang nodded at the same time. Chen Ruiwen also added, "When the implementation is carried out, in order to prevent the bunch of local buns from causing trouble, I may have to work hard for the men."

The army of the Dashun Dynasty was actually divided into two types: one was the "field troops" represented by the four major border troops and the Beijing camp, and the other was the guards stationed in various places. The latter was not a noble force except for the capital city and around Jinling.

"As long as the army moves, our families will have room for operation. Those poor people may need everyone to move together." Liu Fang immediately agreed, "Old Niu, the boy from the Wei family has given such great benefits. Isn't it really just for the identity of a female general?"

As long as there is war, nobles will have ways to control resources and increase their bargaining chips for their own family's growth, so the civil servants will desperately want to negotiate peace.

"He wants to go to the southern Xinjiang side by himself, we clear the Liu family, and he wants the position of the commander of the Jinling Guard afterwards, so he gives such a big bargaining chip." Niu Jizong said helplessly. Now this position is in the hands of the Niu family.

"Then he has to add another one to you." Liu Fang laughed, "I didn't expect this kid to be very ambitious. He is less than twenty years old this year, right? Do you dare to want a fourth-rank position?"

"I agreed." Niu Jizong said lightly, "The condition is to send Ben'er over there. When he takes Jixun's position, his current position is Ben'er, including those more than a thousand people, a complete set!"
