Long Tian moved too fast. He announced all his decisions without giving others time to think or discuss with them.
Especially now, the Zhenbei Army was completely controlled by Long Tian, Zhang Tianyi's lineage was cut off, and the new governor Zhen Wude was driven out of Zhenbei City in a mess today.
These things made the commanders of the city guards dare not act rashly.
"Your Highness, I, the commander of the Black Domain City, Lin Feng, am willing to lead 30,000 Black Domain City Guards to join the Zhenbei Army."
"Your Highness, I, Zhang Yun, was originally retired from the Zhenbei Army. Now I will not miss such a great opportunity. I am willing to lead 30,000 Winterfell City Guards to join the Zhenbei Army."
"Your Highness, I..."
After Long Tian made the announcement, someone immediately stood up to respond.
The Long family has managed the northern border for many years, and of course there are some followers. These people have either received the favor of Long Dao or were generals of the Zhenbei Army.
Of course, there are also people in the shadow.
If someone starts it, it will be troublesome.
If you agree, you will be unwilling. If you don't agree, won't you become an alternative with ulterior motives?
Looking at the few people who took the lead, the others were full of hatred. Why are you so active? At least you should give us some time to consider.
If you do this, what will Long Tian think if we don't follow, can we leave today?
The most abundant thing in this world is fence-sitters. These people have no ambitions. When someone takes the lead, some fence-sitters also begin to follow.
After a long quarrel, except for a few generals, everyone else agreed to join the Zhenbei Army. This change caught Jia Cang and other city lords by surprise.
In fact, this was all within Long Tian's plan, and Cao Zhengchun also contributed to this matter. Not only was Shadow taking the lead, but some people had already been dealt with by Shadow.
"Your Highness, I am old and no longer able to fight on the battlefield. I can only retire with regret. Please allow me."
"Your Highness, I have many family affairs and my parents need to be supported. I can only feel ashamed of your kindness."
The remaining few people are considered hardliners. Their purpose of controlling the city guards is for their own families, not for the Long family. Now, they don't want to be used as guns by Long Tian.
Even though they knew that this move would offend Long Tian, they still refused.
"It doesn't matter. This prince has said in advance that whether to join the Zhenbei Army is entirely voluntary. Since the generals are entangled in worldly affairs, this prince understands."
"Don't worry, I will not be stingy with the treatment they deserve."
"Since the generals have made a decision, please go back. Later, this prince will send someone to send compensation to the generals' homes."
Since they don't want to join, there is no point in staying. Although Long Tian said it nicely, he actually drove them away.
These people also knew that it was not appropriate to stay, so they had to get up and leave.
Looking at the five people who left, everyone had different thoughts, and they didn't know whether their decision was correct. They could only verify it in the future.
However, everyone didn't know that they no longer had anyone to verify in the future. The five city guards who chose to refuse all encountered accidents after leaving Zhenbei City.
Even their families fell into decline in the near future.
"Generals, since you have chosen to join the Zhenbei Army, you naturally know the rules and nature of the Zhenbei Army. This prince does not want to see any unpleasant things happen."
This is a naked warning.
"Bai Qi, you are responsible for the expansion of the Zhenbei Army. Gao Shun, I will leave the training to you. Come to me later."
"Fan Li, you are responsible for the government assessment starting today. All city lords will stay in Zhenbei City temporarily to assist Fan Li in completing this matter."
"This prince's principle is to forgive the past and look forward to everything. I hope you understand what I mean and work with this prince to protect the northern border."
This plan went very smoothly. Jia Xu's design of Zhen Wude was the best warning to everyone, and the suppression of the Zhenbei Army made everyone dare not resist openly.
Now that we have arrived in Zhenbei City, I believe that with the abilities of Bai Qi and Fan Li, we can control these guys as soon as possible, at least so that they dare not act rashly.
As long as the situation in the northern border is stable, Long Tian's goal will be achieved.
After handing the people over to Bai Qi and Fan Li, everyone left.
"Your Highness, we should immediately write to His Majesty and state Zhen Wude's crimes, so that His Majesty will give up the idea of sending anyone else. At the same time, I suggest that we directly ask for an imperial decree to appoint Fan Li as the governor of the northern border."
Without outsiders, Jia Xu began to offer suggestions again.
"Will the old emperor agree?"
Long Tian had no objection to first dealing with Zhen Wude and completely discrediting him.
But asking for an imperial decree to appoint one of his own people as the governor at this time, isn't this a slap in the face, old man?Will the emperor agree?
"Your Highness, I think the old emperor will agree."
"The purpose of creating the post of governor is to limit the power of the princes. My northern border is just a pilot project of the old emperor. In my opinion, this move does have a easing effect on the current situation in Xia State, at least it can balance the relationship between all parties."
"I believe that the old emperor and even the important officials in the court have seen this. Then, the matter of enfeoffment of governors will not stop. Zhen Wude alone may not be able to stop the old emperor's plan."
"And if the plan is to be implemented smoothly, it needs a good start. Zhen Wude is abolished. I believe that sending others will only help. At this time, we ask for an order, which just gives the old emperor a step, and will continue to implement it smoothly. I think this is feasible."
Jia Xu talked freely, and Long Tian also understood his meaning.
Enfeoffment of governors is bound to have a certain effect on the balance of power. After all, the ministers who can be enfeoffed as governors are not ordinary people.
This also involves the struggle of various forces. Once it starts, it is not so easy to stop.
The princes are powerful, but don't underestimate other families. Even if it is the territory controlled by the princes, the family may not be able to grab a piece of meat.
The old emperor must also understand that instead of letting the princes grow stronger, it is better to find some opponents for them. Only when there is a dog-eat-dog situation can the royal family benefit.
Zhen Wude was also careless. The power of the Zhen family is also not small. The Zhen family has its own considerations for this trip to the North.
But no one expected that Long Tian would be so tough. He didn't play tactics and strategies with them at all. He played dirty right from the start, which led to Zhen Wude's capsize.
Long Tian has made his attitude clear. This time he was a light move. I'm afraid it won't be so simple next time. This makes others think that there are so many places to go. There is no need to provoke Long Tian, a madman.
They all know the situation in the North. At this moment, Long Tian is at his most sensitive time. It's not worth fighting with Long Tian at this time.
However, the first position of the governor cannot be left vacant, as it involves the emperor's reputation.
Therefore, Jia Xu suggested that we should simply ask for an order ourselves to give the emperor a way out.
