Chapter 29 The fundamental dispute (5)

Since the beginning of autumn, Yang Rong's chronic disease has occurred and he cannot see the sunshine and blowing all day long. He asked the court for a rest due to illness. The court sent an imperial physician to treat him. He also said that Yang Rong lost his vitality when he was young, and his years of fatigue caused both qi and blood loss, so it is not suitable for long-distance migration.

After the court approved what he asked, Yang Rong stayed in the capital.

The dignified vassal kings could not stay in the inn every day in the capital, but the original royal palace should have become the yamen of the Nanzhili Case Office, so Zhu Yuanzhang gave the Ning Prince's Mansion, which had just been vassal, to the Liao King for temporary residence.

This time, Zhu Zhi brought a total of 500 personal soldiers, ten guards, and a total of only ten wife, children, maids, and eunuchs. The personal soldiers were stationed outside the city and could not enter the city, so it was very convenient for those few people to move home.

The regulations of the Ning Wang Mansion are very similar to those of the original Liao Wang Mansion. There is also a back garden with birds singing and flowers blooming.

How could the ten guards look after such a large place? Yang Rong and the little horse king selected fifty elites from among the personal soldiers to serve as guards of the royal palace.

Zhu Zhi ordered people to sweep out a clean yard in the back hall for Yang Rong to live in, which was called to let him recuperate, but in fact, it was avoiding the eyes and ears.

For a royal palace, the ten-person servant team was too shabby, and ten more maids and servants were transferred to the palace. Zhu Zhi knew that it was normal for a spy who had one or two Jinyiwei to get involved in it, so he didn't bother with him.

After moving into the palace for a while, Zhu Zhi was chatting with Yang Rong and Qu Yuan on this day. The little horse king walked into the house with a spring breeze on his face. Seeing everyone was there, he hurried up to Zhu Zhi. Yang Rong gave a big gift. Qu Yuan got up and bowed to Xiao Ma Wang.

I saw Wang Feng changing his military uniform, wearing a silver crown on his head, two golden silk tassels at both ends of his hairpin, wearing a white silk robe, a dark blue silk ribbon tied around his waist, and wearing deerskin fast boots. He was such a handsome guy who was in the wind.

Zhu Zhi has four handsome guys around him. Wang Feng, Qu Qing, Qu Yuan and Su Jie. Wang Feng is sunny, Qu Qing is cold, Qu Yuan is elegant, and Su Jie is elegant, in short, each has its own strengths.

Of course, Zhu Zhi himself is also a handsome guy. When summarizing his own characteristics, Zhu Zhi first recommended the aristocratic temperament.

Zhu Zhi said: "What a handsome guy, he wears so brightly today. Is there any happy event?"

Wang Guan rubbed his hands and said, "How did Your Highness know? Did you send someone to follow me the day before yesterday? There is really a happy event today. The eighth day after tomorrow, haha, I heard it is a zodiac auspicious day, haha, it is also a happy day for the last general and the last general.

"At the end of the day, his voice was smaller than that of a mosquito.

Zhu Zhi widened his eyes and smiled: "Haha. You kid, when did you secretly tell your wife? Even we have hidden it."

"Haha, don't you want to give Your Highness a surprise?" Wang Feng took out a stack of wedding invitations and gave them to Zhu Zhi first.

I would like to give Yang Rong and Qu Yuan another wish, "The day after tomorrow, prepare two glasses of wine in the military camp outside the city. I would like to invite Your Highness, Lord Yang, and Qu Jishan to come and drink a little bit of wine to give Huye a few more."

Zhu Zhi laughed: "Okay. I will definitely attend when the time comes. Please explain quickly whether you have finally married the sweetheart?"

Wang Feng blushed and said, "Your Highness, don't force me to stop being the last one. Haha, then, I'll know then."

Although the little horse king is a handsome man, his marriage is a difficult problem. It is all because his father Wang Zhi was implicated in the case of Hu Weiyong's rebellion.

Although the charges did not affect the family, no one was willing to marry the daughter of the family to the son of the rebel party. This led to the fact that Xiao Mawang was in his twenties and was still alone. When he was in Liaodong.

Zhu Zhi also told him two girls, but Xiao Ma Wang always had someone in his heart, and repeatedly declined Zhu Zhi's kindness. Could it be that now a lover has finally become a relative?

The little horse king was really unique and moved the wedding to the military camp. On the day of the joy, when Zhu Zhi arrived, the personal guard camp had already been decorated with lights and there were no less than fifty tables in front of the central army's tent.

The little Ma Wang posted all the civil servants and generals he knew in the capital. I saw him today. There were more military generals and few civil servants.

The guards at the door saw Zhu Zhi's carriage from afar. He quickly knelt down to greet him. Zhu Zhi's road master came to the gate of the camp and shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness of the King of Liao is here."

The military camp square, which was noisy just now, immediately became quiet. All the officers and soldiers knelt down to the door and saluted: "The King of Liao is thousands of years old and thousands of years old.

"Zhu Zhi was particularly happy today. He got off the horse at the gate of the camp and picked up Atractylodes from the carriage. The two of them walked slowly into the camp with their hands in hand. However, they could not see where the groom was going. After asking, they found out that they had gone to pick up the new ones.

When he walked into the big tent, he saw Xiao Ma Wang's mother chatting with Yang Rong. Zhu Zhi saw how Yang Rong arrived earlier than him.

After asking, I realized that Xiao Mawang's new wife was an orphan. In order to find her family, Xiao Mawang asked Yang Rong to recognize her as her loyal brother. Yang Rong and Xiao Mawang were both the first people to follow Zhu Zhi. The two had a very good relationship, and Yang Rong was happy to give him this favor.

Zhu Zhile said: "Little Ma Wang is really troublesome. Mianren became a righteous brother and brought me to be the marriage enlistment person. Mrs. Wang, which girl is this daughter-in-law?"

Mrs. Wang smiled a little embarrassedly and replied: "Go back to Your Highness, this, this, alas!"

Yang Rong smiled bitterly at Zhu Zhi, and Zhu Zhi was confused and said, "What? Is this a matter difficult to say?"

Mrs. Wang said: "The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate. He actually redeemed Miss Liu from the 'Qingyuefang' and wanted to marry her as a wife."

Zhu Zhi suddenly remembered and asked, "Haha, but Miss Liu from Liu Qing?"

Yang Rong also smiled bitterly and nodded, "The night before yesterday, the little Ma Wang made an appointment with the humble official and told the story of Miss Liu's life. It turned out that the Liu family and the Wang family were family friends, and later, General Liu was killed in Datong in the eighth year of Hongwu.

The Liu family has no successors, so Miss Liu has been wandering among the church houses. But the little horse king and her childhood sweetheart have been obsessed with it until this time when they returned to Beijing. "

Zhu Zhi laughed: "In the past, Miss Liu, I have met this girl in the capital. She is really a wonderful person with both talent and beauty.

She is just a showman in the shop. Although she has a certain identity, it is rare that Xiao Ma Wang has a deep affection and has been waiting for several years. Mrs. Wang, please don’t have to worry, this is a good story.

In that era, people in the church were naturally very despised, but most people were unwilling to marry their daughters into military households. It was not surprising that military men married a prostitute who was a good place.

Now the little horse king is even more rare. He does not forget his old people, and even though Liu Qing is in a prostitute, he is considered to be self-disciplined. In Zhu Zhi's eyes, the little horse king, who is naturally optimistic, can do such a thing. The three of them were talking, but they only heard firecrackers ringing outside.

Joy thunderously.

Amidst the cheers, the little horse king dressed in a tall crown led his bride into the tent generously. "One worships the world... two worships the high hall... husband and wife worships each other..."

According to the regulations, the Liao King's guards could not stay in the capital for a long time. Less than half a month after the marriage of the Xiao Ma King, the court issued an imperial edict, ordering the Liao King's guards to return to Liaodong.

Xiao Ma Wang took his mother and wife's family to move to Liaodong, but Qu Yuan stayed in the capital because he wanted to serve his subordinates.

On the eve of leaving, the little horse king came to the mansion to say goodbye. Zhu Zhi carefully reminded him: "I stayed in Beijing for a year, and the situation is unpredictable. Liaodong military affairs are all up to you and others. This is the strategy formulated by Mian Ren and me. You can take it and hand it over to Tie Changshi.

"As he said that, he took out three bamboo tubes from the bookshelf, and the edges of the lid were sealed by fire wax, and handed one of them to Wang Guan.

Zhu Zhi said again: "There are a few more words to remind you. The main task of the Liaodong Army in the next year is to strategically shrink and fully shrink within its current territory. According to the strategy, the heavy troops were stationed on the western front and defended the edge of the grassland.

Unless the Ministry of War is in the following article, no active offensive action can be taken. The Northern Line will be the place where our army uses troops, maintaining the pressure on the Beishan Jurchen tribe, and all guards will take turns to train. The Liaodong military will be decided by the Iron Chief Shi.

General Ye and Old General Qu assisted him, and his decision on the iron tripod and stone must not be violated.

You are the one I trust most. These strategies need your support. Remember to help me gather three guards. Whatever I come, what I have to look like when I go back.

"In Zhu Zhi's most worried thing was that the court made excuses to break up the main force of the Liaodong Army, so he specially discussed with Yang Rong a way to "raise the thief's self-respect", which was to use the excuse of the invasion of the Jurchen tribe in Beishan to maintain military force on the northern front. On the one hand, the Liaodong Army can continue to receive practical training, and on the other hand, there will be no excuse for those with ulterior motives to lay off the Liaodong Army.

Yang Rong added: "The Liaodong incident is the opera in the south and the north. You have to explain this clearly to Tie Changshi."

Zhu Zhi handed over two other bamboo tubes and said, "This is handed over to Master Sa. This is handed over to Master Guo. Please be careful to keep it and be sure to deliver it to them."

Finally, Zhu Zhi took out a smaller thin channel: "This is an extremely important map and a very important treasure.

I see, in the beginning of next spring, you will take the most trusted people and follow the map to find this treasure, and then find a secret place near Guangning to bury it. Note that this matter must be highly confidential. If necessary, all necessary measures can be taken.

"As he said that, Zhu Zhi solemnly put the Lan Yu treasure map into the hands of Xiao Ma Wang. The ones Zhu Zhi trusted the most were Yang Rong, Wang Guan and Xiao Chenzi, and Yang Rong and Xiao Chenzi were all going to stay in the capital. The task of taking out the Lan Yu treasure can only be handed over to him.

Why did Zhu Zhi and Yang Rong take a careful consideration to raise this treasure now? According to the plan, although the front line needs to be shrinked on land, the navy has to go the other way, not only the division has to shrink but also greatly develop.

Since the Liaodong Dushi has passed the budget for the land naval division in the next two years, it was not considered that 30% of the warships were sent back to the court as gifts, and the losses in this regard needed additional supplements. Secondly, in Zhu Zhi's mind, the Liaodong Army did not have an absolute advantage over the Yan Army on land. The real advantage was the navy. Therefore, if you want to make sufficient preparations for the future, you must maximize the advantages of the navy.

The Army has been working hard for a year to train, but the navy cannot be built in one year, so it must be prepared in advance.

Although the political atmosphere is very tense, the urgency of time forces Zhu Zhi to use this somewhat hot treasure as a secret fund for naval construction.

For Zhu Zhi, the ones he trusted the most were Yang Rong, Wang Guan and Xiao Chenzi. Yang Rong and Xiao Chenzi both had to stay in the capital, and the task of taking out the Blue Jade Treasure could only be handed over to Wang Guan.

...

On the day Wang Ju set off, Yingtian fell the first snowfall in this winter. For the capital of this empire, there had been no snowfall before the beginning of winter for a long time.

The snowflakes were flying all over the sky, and the streets of the Beijing city were soon covered with white. The adults were tidying up their business and rushed home, and the children were scattered in surprise and played in the streets and alleys.

Zhu Zhi rode his horse on a high hill outside the Xiaguan Wharf, and five hundred guards boarded the warship parked in the middle of the Yangtze River in an orderly manner. The surroundings were silent, with only snowflakes rustling down, and the earth mixed with the sky in the white vastness.

The ripples from the boat suddenly alarmed the geese resting by the water, and flew up and penetrated into the blue sky.
