Chapter 53: The Crown Prince of Yan'an
Chen Ying was not worried about Yang Ze's proposal that the Turks would attack the newly built iron house in the future. Youdao was a trick that would be very popular. You could use hook and sickle spear, high bridge saddle, and double-sided stirrup to form a dense lancer formation. You were not afraid of fighting with the Turks at all. As long as Chen Ying was given three or five months, Chen Ying believed that he had the strength to organize three or five thousand lancers.
You should know that in the history of the Polish Kingdom, the highest record of winged cavalry was only more than 6,000. However, these 6,000 cavalry beat the Tatar Mongolian Turks and Teutonic knights all over the ground. Chen Ying was very confident about the Turks who were not particularly strong in combat. If the Turks were not aware of life or death, he would not mind becoming a hero of the Tang Dynasty to destroy the Turks and steal the limelight from Li Jing.
However, another problem that Yang Ze mentioned gave Chen Ying a headache. Just need a letter from Li Yuan or the Ministry of War, Chen Ying had to leave obediently. Whether it was a mining coal mine or an iron mine, even if it was a blast furnace built in the future, it would only be cheaper for others. At this time, it was no better than later generations. Without the protection of power, it would be a mountain of gold and could not be protected. As long as you leave Lingzhou, these industries would soon be eaten away by others.
How to solve this problem makes Chen Ying at a loss for a while.
Seeing Chen Ying silent, Yang thought he had convinced Chen Ying. He said excitedly: "General Chen, what a high... blast furnace, the following officials will build it next to the General Administration Office. Now the following officials will mobilize the people to relocate!"
"Shi Yang, there is no rush to do this for the time being!" Chen Ying thought for a while. Since this is the case, he may marry someone else after doing it, so Chen Ying is not in a hurry to build it.
Chen Ying is not a saint or a selfless person. He does not want to take his efforts to make some bastards cheaper. Let’s take a look at the direction of the court. If the court asks him to leave Lingzhou and transfer back to Guanzhong, the proposal of blast furnace steelmaking will be put on hold indefinitely. After returning to Chang'an in the future, he will build steel in his fiefdom. Even if there is no iron ore or coal in the local area, he can still use transportation to build it. In this way, he can support a huge transportation army. If he doesn’t do it well, he can take the opportunity to set up, similar to the Cao Gang in later generations to control land transportation.
Thinking of this, Chen Ying said: "If the cold land is frozen today, it will be inconvenient for the people to relocate. It is better to wait until the weather gets warmer before discussing it!"
...
When he returned to the General Administration Office, Chen Ying looked depressed. Now he does not have the qualifications to open a government office, nor does he have a staff team. The embarrassing situation of being short-sighted has begun to emerge.
Looking at Chen Ying sitting on the main seat of the hall, sighing. Liu Tong, the deputy lieutenant of the Zhechong Mansion, looked at Chen Ying quietly. Chen Ying was not old, his skin was fair and tender, and he looked younger than his actual age, and he looked more like a half-year-old child. However, after more than two months of washing the wind, Chen Ying had changed.
He turned black.
Of course, it is not black, but a wheat color appears on the skin, which shows that it is even more heroic. Chen Ying exudes a powerful aura of superiors, which makes Liu Tong dare not look directly at him.
The so-called aura of the superior is mysterious and mysterious. In fact, to put it bluntly, the aura of the superior is self-confidence. Winning four consecutive battles with the Turks not only allowed the Right Guard to lead the entire army to boost morale, but also showed Chen Ying's self-confidence. If he had led him to lead more than 4,800 soldiers to attack tens of thousands of Turkic troops in the past, Chen Ying would never do this unless he had to do so.
But now, Chen Ying would not hesitate at all. Not to mention tens of thousands, even tens of thousands or tens of thousands of Turkic troops, Chen Ying had the courage to compete with the Turkic people.
With Chen Ying's military merits and status, it is easy to give people an illusion. It is really bad to say that Chen Ying is really lucky. If he had been born twenty years earlier, not even ten years, the world would have been thirty-six ways of rebelling against the king and seventy-two ways of dust and smoke. He might not have had his place. Just by defeating the Turks for four consecutive times, he would be considered an isolated person.
However, it is a pity that the situation is getting clearer today. Emperor Liang State Shen Faxing and Emperor Wu State Li Zitong are all talented people, while Emperor Liang State Xiao Xian of Jiangnan was not enterprising enough. Although Du Fuwei of Jiangnan had the strength to unify Jiangnan and form separatist, he was in fact indecisive. Now he is expected to capture the world is Dou Jiande, Hebei, Wang Shichong of the Central Plains, and Li Tang.
However, both Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande have fatal flaws. If Dou Jiande could swallow the Luoyi Department of Youzhou first and then go south to Shandong, it is still unknown who will win if he is in a stable place. However, Dou Jiande made a series of tricks and went to Shandong first to set up Youzhou and not story. In this way, Dou Jiande, who was unstable in the rear, would definitely be attacked from both sides once Luo Yi leads his troops south.
As for Wang Shichong's disadvantages, it was even more obvious. The Central Plains was a battle of four battles. Although there were eight barriers in Luoyang, the strategic buffer was too small to last.
As long as Li Tang does not use his tricks like Dou Jiande, unification is just around the corner.
Liu Tong could be very confused at this time, and was not satisfied with being controlled by others. However, Liu Tong knew that if Chen Ying rebelled against Tang and became independent, there would be no future at all.
At this moment, several soldiers tied up a middle-aged scholar. The middle-aged scholar had a slutty face and was very embarrassed. Liu Tong quickly threw his messy thoughts out of his mind and asked loudly: "Who is this?"
The guard soldier said, "This person stayed sneakily. We thought it was the enemy who was doing it carefully, so we went forward to interrogate him. But he ran away. There was indeed a problem."
Liu Tong nodded and said to the middle-aged scholar: "Who are you? Look up!"
The down-and-out middle-aged scholar slowly looked up, but Liu Tong was shocked.
Because Liu Tong was the Left Army of Liang Shidu. The Army was established in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and was ranked below and above the general. According to the military ranks of later generations, it was equivalent to the commander of the group army. However, the Liang Shidu had only 20,000 troops and only a few generals. Liu Tong had actually entered the core of the Liang Shidu camp at that time.
Because of this person, he actually knew him. He was also one of the core figures of the Liang Shidu camp, Shangshu Lu Jilan. Lu Jilan was originally a judicial military officer in Shuofang County, Sui Dynasty. If this official position was later, it would be equivalent to the president of the municipal intermediate people's court. It was equivalent to the sixth rank official position. Liang Shidu rose up to rebel against the Sui Dynasty in the 13th year of Daye. Lu Jilan joined the thief Liang Shidu and was named Shangshu (the left and right purse of the Tang Dynasty).
As one of the core figures of the Liang State, Lu Jilan's status in the Liang State was equal to Pei Ji or Liu Wenjing of the Tang Dynasty, who was the prime minister above millions of people.
"Shangshu Lu, I haven't thought that we would meet here, so it's abrupt!" Liu Tong said with a slight smile: "What are you doing? Let's loosen your ties!"
The guard soldier Liu Tong did not hesitate. After all, Lu Jilan was a half-bian, weak and even if Master Liang wanted to kill Chen Ying, he would never choose Lu Jilan.
The soldier untied the rope from Lu Jilan's body, and then hurriedly said to Liu Tong: "Take Lu to see General Chen!"
At this moment, Chen Ying suddenly walked out of the hall: "Who are you? Why do you think I will be in charge?"
Lu Jilan: "If the king is not secret, he will lose his ministers; if the ministers are not secret, he will lose his official position!"
"There are all Chen Ying's brothers here, and Chen has nothing to say to others!"
Hearing Chen Ying say this, a warm current surged in Liu Tong's heart.
Lu Jilan said indecisively: "This..."
"If you have something to say, just say it!" Chen Ying was in a bad mood, and his face darkened and shouted coldly: "If you don't say it, get out!"
After a continuous bloody battle, Chen Ying had a strong murderous aura. Not to mention Lu Jilan, a 50-year-old man, even a fierce soldier who had spent the rest of his life on the battlefield would unconsciously shudder.
Lu Jilan said timidly: "The foreign ministers are ordered by the Emperor Chen (after Liang Shidu, Liang Shidu is the capital of the capital, and the capital of the capital of the Liang Shidu is the capital of the Emperor Chen). They come to surrender General Chen!"
Chen Ying smiled slightly and said, "Oh, so that's it. What official position is Mr. Liang going to give this general manager?"
