He Yang Wang Yu Yuan Gao did not take Gu Qingcheng's words of opposition as disobedience, on the contrary, there was a glimmer of appreciation in his eyes. Although he really wanted to compete with the Tianxing Navy, he would not delay the national affairs. He was the prince of Daqian, and knew that only when Daqian was strong and powerful could his status as the royal family of Yu be unshakable.
Since ancient times, there has been no royal dynasty that will not fall. Even the Dayan founded by Emperor Yan himself has died. What's more, only by taking the people as the foundation and selecting the talents and appointing the capable people, can Daqian be passed on from generation to generation. Therefore, the more talented people like Gu Qingcheng are, the more happy he will be. Only when generation after generation of heroes come out, can Daqian prosper, Only in this way can he achieve the real foundation of the world, which is his mind as the prince of the royal family and the measure as the commander of the first army.
"Lord Wang praised me falsely. Qing Cheng is just a new soldier in the army. Many things need to be familiar with. Just now, he just said what he thought." Gu Qingcheng said with a smile.
"I'm not as thoughtful as you at your age. No wonder I won two big victories in southern Xinjiang. Since you don't agree, we'll go ahead with the original plan." Yu Yuangao looks at Gu Qingcheng with satisfaction.
"The Lord is wise."
"Well, what's wise or not? The two countries in southern Xinjiang have been established for a long time. I only hope that this war can be fought with one drum. But after listening to what you said, it seems that I'm a little anxious. The strategy drawn up by the foreign cabinet is reasonable. Let's do it according to the previous plan."
Yu Yuangao thought for a while and said, "but is it really not feasible for us to raid Linhai county at this time? Fengxiang army has 150000 troops trained by huangjie. Our Jinghai Navy's 100000 Erlang is a dragon on the sea and a tiger on the land. With the strength of our two armies, can't we calm Linhai county quickly?"
"Lord." At this time, Gu Jieyun said, "in the midst of Daqian, Tianxing and Nanli, Daqian dominates the Tianshi, while Tianxing and Nanli are on their side across the river. The two countries have been established for a long time. We are attacking across the border. They are defending the country and protecting the people, and harmony is on their side. The reason why Lu que wants to win Nanhai county first is to attack from the north and the south to break its favorable geographical position. "
"What about the power of harmony?" Yu Yuangao thinks about it, thinks that Gu Jieyun has some truth, and asks again.
"If we want to break the peace between the two countries, we need Zhai Ning's help. He is the secret hand left by Lu que before. I will try to contact him when we go ashore." Gu Qingcheng said.
With Lu Que's heart, since he dared to put forward the strategy of Southern expedition on the day of Jiafeng, all aspects of nature have taken it into consideration. As long as the Fengxiang army can land safely in Nanhai County, the war situation will certainly evolve according to Lu Que's previous assumption. Sending troops by sea is a miracle, but after landing, there will be a grand army. As long as Zhai Ning's help is obtained, Fengxiang's army will be impeccable.
"Zhai Ning?" Yu Yuangao thought for a while, nodded, looked at the north, sighed and said, "Lu que is really worthy of being the son of elder sister Chang and Duke Wei. Originally I thought I had understood this strategy, but I didn't expect that there was such a deep meaning, which was closely linked with each other, and really lived up to his name of genius."
Gu Qingcheng hears the praise of Lu que from Heyang king, and she can't help smiling. Lu Que's advice seems simple, but there is room for every step. For example, there are wolves in the three mountain stone stockade outside xuan'an County, and Zhai Ning, a dark son who has been buried for a long time. Although Zhai Ning does not show his intention to take refuge with Da Qian, he will make a choice according to Lu Que's idea, because he has no choice.
The strong soldiers attack their generals, the wise men attack their feelings, and those who have finished their feelings attack their hearts. In this war, we first take it by surprise, then attack it unprepared, and then destroy it with a grand battle. This is Lu que, who seems to care nothing but can't be ignored.
Gu Qingcheng can't help but think of the situation when Lu Que Xue was assassinated outside the palace. She went to visit the Weiguo government. She led the army and helped the government and the people. This was Gu Qingcheng's requirement for her future husband before. Although Lu que was not in the court, she had already started to do it and did it very well.
Gu Qingcheng is a little shy and happy to think of this. Lu que has already fulfilled his promise, so she also wants to fulfill her promise. Now she just wants to finish the war as soon as possible, and then return to the imperial capital to wait for Lu que to grow up and marry her.
Yu Yuangao and Gu Jieyun both see the changes on Gu Qingcheng's face. With their experience, they can't see the thoughts of their daughter's family. They are missing the person in the capital. They couldn't help looking at each other and laughing.
"It's getting late. I want to go back to my flagship. You can have a rest early. We can get to the island before noon tomorrow."
"To Uncle Huang."
"To the king."
Yu Yuangao jumped down from the boat, jumped back on the boat and returned to the flagship of the Chinese army. Looking at the vast sea in front of him, Yu Yuangao couldn't help feeling inexplicable.
Yu Yuanxu, the Qianhuang emperor, had a secret talk with him when he returned to Beijing this time. He already knew that the elder brother had intended to abdicate. When the young leader was in the court, he not only needed assistant officials, but also had the strength to suppress all forces and stabilize the court structure. Therefore, in the early stage of the change of the throne and power, military power was particularly important, There is nothing more solid and stable than holding hundreds of thousands of troops.
The first is the emperor's Pro army Changqing army, the second is the Fengxiang army with royal children as commander-in-chief, and the third is the badminton army now on the North Bank of Huangyan river.
Yu Yuangao also knew that after the war in southern Xinjiang, the Fengxiang army and the badminton army would be transferred back to the capital to rest. The territory of Nanli would be occupied by Huxiao army, the territory of Tianxing would be occupied by gale army, and the thunder army would withdraw to the North Bank of Huangyan River to continue to guard against the possible outbreak of animal tide in Xiyuan Zezhong.
His niece, Yu Tianxiang, will be the commander of Fengxiang army after Fengxiang army returns to Beijing, while Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng will be the deputy commander of Changqing army and Fengxiang army. Now Shen Zhang, the commander of benlei army, will be transferred to the northern border to be the commander of Panshi army. Shen Zhang and Bai Yi are the officials of the emperor's hidden residence. They will guard Northern Xinjiang, and zhugeju, the commander of Tianhuo army, Enough to ensure that the northern border is free from worries.
Wei Jiu, the current commander of the badminton army, will be transferred to be the commander of the benlei army. After returning to Beijing, the badminton army will be temporarily controlled by his eighth younger brother, Zhongyang Wang yuyuanpu. In this way, the military power of the three legions guarding the imperial capital will fall to Lu Que, Yu Tianxiang, Gu Qingcheng and Yu Yuanpu respectively, and these four will become the most powerful backing of Prince Yu Minghao.
There are 200000 Changqing soldiers, 150000 Fengxiang soldiers and 150000 Yulin soldiers. With the addition of the seven palace guards, the upper and lower armies' personal guards, and the left and right armies' forbidden guards, Qianyuan city will gather nearly 700000 soldiers and horses, and the people who control these soldiers and horses are reliable and capable enough to ensure that there is a strong center to suppress all the outlaws.
It's not that the Emperor didn't believe Wei Jiu and Ning Darong, the poor military commanders who had made great achievements in the war. Even the officials from the aristocratic family believed that these people were rare pure ministers who were loyal to their duties. But they were pure ministers after all, and they were pure ministers from poor families. Their first consideration was the whole world, not the royal family of Yu, And they can't cope with the complex situation of the capital, so after the new emperor ascended the throne, these people can only be used in border towns, not in the center of the imperial capital.
Moreover, Yu Yuangao also knows that if Daqian really engulfs the two countries in southern Xinjiang, the territory will be expanded and the sea area will be nearly doubled. In order to defend the sea area, eliminate the pirates and protect the caravan, the Jinghai and Hanhai armies guarding the sea area will be expanded. His Jinghai Navy will stay in Daqian, while Hanhai regiment will go south to garrison the present Tianxing and Hanhai armies South of the two countries from the sea.
In this way, the twelve legions of Daqian and the people from other towns are all credible people, while the people from the imperial capital are all capable people. These people together constitute the future military situation of Daqian. As long as the military is stable, no matter how chaotic the court hall is, it will not affect the rule of the Yu family. What's more, on top of the court hall are veteran ministers such as Prime Minister Zhuge Xingzhi, Asian Prime Minister Liu Buyi, right Prime Minister lacquer carving Shu, and left prime Minister zuosheng. Min Wensheng, the new foreign minister, is also a talented person of his generation, with his acting cabinet, The court hall will not change much.
He has already seen Lu's talent. Today, he met Gu Qingcheng's talent. Yu Tianxiang, his niece, is a little inferior to him. No wonder the emperor's elder brother will hold the court officials to such a high position. With these two people in charge of the army in the capital, the emperor's elder brother can really feel at ease.
"Gu Shuai, Qingcheng, since this sea king Whale will not pose any threat to us, then I will go back to the cabin to rest." See Heyang King left, Yu Tianxiang also said.
"Princess, please." Gu Jieyun nodded.
When Yu Tianxiang was approaching the cabin, he looked back at Gu's aunt and nephew on the deck, and a trace of loss flashed in his eyes. She and Gu Qingcheng are close friends in the boudoir, but they are both called Shuangshu, the capital of the emperor. Inevitably, there will be a comparison between them. But now, Gu Qingcheng surpasses her in military strategy. And Yu Tianxiang knows that it's all because of her cousin Lu que, because Gu Qingcheng's former military vision and understanding of war are absolutely different now, and all this has changed since she and Lu que traveled south.
Thinking of this, Yu Tianxiang could not help but pursed her lips, sighed in her heart, and went back to the cabin with her heart full.
"Qing Cheng, although the winning rate of Heyang Wang and Leyi's proposal is not as high as the surprise attack on Nanhai County, the Fengxiang army has at least a five point chance of winning. In addition, the Jing navy may be even higher. With your previous character, you should not oppose it face to face. Why do you insist on it this time?" In Gu Jieyun's heart, she doesn't think what Gu Qingcheng just said is wrong, but in her heart, Gu Qingcheng has always been modest and prudent, and she doesn't understand why Gu Qingcheng has such a change.
"Because the guard of Nanhai county is much weaker than that of Linhai County, the previous strategy can minimize the loss of soldiers, which is the best choice. As a leader, I naturally have to consider for my soldiers." Gu Qingcheng's eyes flashed slightly and said.
"It's not from your heart." Gu Jieyun shook his head with a smile and took Gu Qingcheng to the bow for a few steps. Looking at the sea king whale not far away, he said, "tell me, there are no outsiders here. Is there anything I can't tell my aunt? If you don't, let your aunt guess. I guess it's because of Lu que, right? "
"Don't talk nonsense, aunt. I'm not because of him." Gu Qingcheng stamped her feet in shame, and her face turned red against the yellow light of the huge ship.
"This strategy was put forward by Lu Que in front of all the civil and military officials before the imperial court. Although his majesty issued a command, there are not many people who know it. After the end of this war, it will be known all over the world. And you want the whole war situation to go according to Lu Que's idea. In this way, after annexing the two countries in southern Xinjiang, Lu que, who is in the capital, will make the greatest contribution. "
Here, Gu Jieyun took a look at Gu Qingcheng and said, "with the victory of Danshui and hexingyuan, and the plan of annexing the two countries in the south, Lu que could successfully take over the power of the Changqing army after he left the Academy. At that time, in the eyes of the generals of the Changqing army, they no longer respected Lu que because he was the son of the Duke of Wei, But it's just because he's Lu que. Am I right? "
"Well." Gu Qingcheng nodded slightly.
"It's more than that." Gu Jieyun thought for a while and said, "as long as Daqian wins this battle, Lu que will gain a great reputation in the army, because all the officers and men in the army hope that their commander-in-chief can lead them to victory like Lu Chun, Duke of Wei. At that time, once there is a change in Northern Xinjiang, Lu que can take over as commander-in-chief and Governor General of Northern Xinjiang, Because at that time, Lu is the only candidate. Am I right? "
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from my aunt." Gu Qingcheng nodded again, but his face returned to normal. "Lu que has only the name of genius. Although he has made great achievements in southern Xinjiang, it's not enough. Although Lu que did not take part in the war personally, his strategy was determined by him. As long as he could win the war according to his strategy, he would gain great fame. He had a plan to destroy the crazy lion army before, and a plan to annex the two countries in the south. His reputation in the army would be just like his father's, and he would become a famous commander willing to die. "
"Ah ~" looked at Gu Qingcheng's firm expression and sighed.
Gu Jieyun knew that this niece was deeply in love. She admitted that the best strategy to destroy the country was the southern expedition put forward by Lu Que and discussed in detail by the foreign cabinet. But it did not mean that these military commanders in the front line could not change anything. They all had the right to make arbitrary decisions when sending troops outside. But Gu Qingcheng wanted to fight this war according to the strategy set by Lu que, In order to enhance Lu's reputation, we can see his heart.
"What about you, Qingcheng? What are you doing to help her?" Gu Jieyun asked again.
"Like his father, Lu que is a rare and wonderful man in the world. Even Lu Que's appearance is superior to his father's. finally one day, he will grow into a towering tree to protect his people." Gu Qingcheng said brightly in front of her eyes, "aunt, I didn't think what I would get, but as the saying goes, there is a good wife in my family, and my husband won't suffer any misfortune. I would like to be the woman behind him, and follow him to push Da Qian to the top and restore the territory of the three ancient dynasties. But before that, he must have enough fame to make him run the army smoothly, His character certainly disdains to do this kind of thing, so only I can help him do it. "
"Idiot." Gu Jieyun some distressed, also some envied touched Gu Qingcheng that supple long hair. A handsome young man flashed in her heart. She was unmarried all her life. It was not because she was lonely and lonely, nor because she had been trapped in the twelve people who didn't return to the mountains and wasted her life. It was because the people she loved were the order of a county in the North of blue river. When the Qingyang army went south, she led more than 100 yamen officers and 500 retired rural veterans to fight for time, According to the city, he stayed there for five days and four nights, and finally died on the wall.
In their generation, there were not only Lu Chun, Ji Zhiheng and Bai Lijia, but also many other outstanding scholars. In Lanhe County of Northern Xinjiang, there were many outstanding scholars in the Academy, and the Tianhuo army of that year was composed of all the new elites in the Academy, but many of them fell to the front line of Lanhe and the battle of northern expedition to Qingyang. The person she loved was Junyan Xuegong. Although she was not as famous as Lu Chun and others in the world, she moved to a county less than two years after she was transferred to the local government. It can be seen that her talent was just not blessed by heaven and died young.
At this time, looking at Gu Qingcheng, Gu Jieyun can't help thinking about herself, the sad days after she heard about his death, and her life and death in the war of destroying Qingyang, just to avenge her sweetheart. She thought of her happy and sad mood when Bailijia lit up most of the grassland and destroyed the last army of Qingyang.
This seems to be the woman who takes care of her family in Dingguo. Her niece Gu Qingcheng is so similar to her then. She is as infatuated and reckless as she was for her lover, but Gu Qingcheng is a little more calm than she was then, but at the same time, she is also a little more determined. This is a war to destroy the country. The situation is ever-changing, and accidents may happen at any time. However, Gu Qingcheng insists on winning this war according to Lu Que's strategy, which shows his firm heart.
"Auntie, don't worry. I won't be too emotional. The overall layout of the land shortage has been decided. If there are better fighters, naturally, my auntie will be arbitrary." Gu Qingcheng took a deep breath and said.
"No, do as you say." Gu Jieyun shook his head.
Gu Qingcheng suddenly turns back and looks at her aunt Gu Jieyun in surprise. She naturally knows that this battle is the first and last time for her aunt to lead the army alone, which is related to her military reputation all her life.
"Although what you just said is reasonable, do you think you can't really see what you think with the talent of Yueyi and the knowledge of Heyang king?" Gu Jieyun said with a smile, "they didn't say anything, because this is what we all think, including your majesty."
