imprinted you in my heart

Qian Suiyou pondered for a while and said: "I think that there is no one who is more suitable than me in terms of civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty and familiarity with the official states in the southwest and Blake, so I have the audacity to recommend myself. As for the wolf country, I recommend you with a stable personality. And Yan Yinuo, a reliable Dali Guan Yucheng and Wenxuandian doctor."

Yan Yinuo, who was originally the second-rank prince Taibao and cabinet minister, was implicated by Wu Lili recommended by Wu Lili. As usual, he was demoted two levels in a row.

Where there is reward, there will be punishment, not to mention that it was stipulated at the beginning of the implementation that ministers can recommend talents. Even if Shi Min is unwilling to demote Yan Yinuo two levels in a row, he has to do so, otherwise the ministers who have been implicated will definitely not accept it. Afterwards, the ministers will not be more cautious in recommending talents, and in the end it will definitely run counter to Shi Min's original intention to network talents.

"What Aiqing said coincides with what I have said. If this can be done, when you return, it will be the day when I will add officials to you. Go back and prepare well." Shi Min said with satisfaction.

The two of them went there for nearly half a year. What Shi Min didn't expect was that the land in the southwestern official road of the two dependent countries hadn't been acquired, but King Fangla's city had been obtained first, and King Fangla's city was finally captured by Luo Bumin before the winter. , Unfortunately, the King of Fang La Kingdom was not captured, and he himself suffered a serious arrow wound.

It's not that Robbin didn't arrange the deployment in advance so that the other party escaped again, but that the king of Fang La Kingdom was also a ruthless man. He resolutely killed his family before the palace was destroyed, and finally committed suicide. One of the remaining dead soldiers set fire to the palace, leaving them with nothing useful in the end.

When Luo Buyun led his men to attack, the fire was raging and the manpower was already indestructible. In the end, only a dozen charred corpses were found, which happened to match the number of the direct royal family of Fang La Kingdom he had investigated.

As for the few collateral members of the royal family, they actively surrendered to their fief as early as when Luo Buyun led the army to attack their fiefdom. Compared with the king of Fangla, they have different opinions, so it is no wonder that they are disliked by the king.

Although the king of Fangla Kingdom is ambitious, likes to kill and levies violently, he still has some abilities and means. After all, it is not easy for a king of a small country to achieve such a level. It was buried, but it was not thrown into the wilderness to be eaten by wild beasts.

Rob's arrow wound was hit during the attack on the king's city, and it hit his chest. Fortunately, he missed the heart, otherwise he would not survive the night.

After the overall victory, it can be regarded as having completed the mission His Majesty entrusted to him, so he also wanted to return to the court as soon as possible, but because the officials who took over were not yet in place, and it was winter, it was very unfavorable to travel long distances, so he could only recuperate on the spot , Due to physical reasons, he gradually entrusted major military and political affairs to the chief of staff and the dean of the dean.

One night Rob woke up in the middle of the night, and was about to turn over and continue to sleep, when a dark chess confidant secretly reported that the chief of staff had formed a faction in the army with the intention of rebelling, first killed the superintendent, then killed him, and then planned a new four. Provincial and self-proclaimed emperor, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat immediately, and he led his confidants to make quick decisions and secretly arrested several people overnight.

It was completely unexpected to him that the chief of staff would rebel, but after the trial, he felt a little bit of hatred for the lack of steel. Although he was the biggest contributor to this expedition, he was naturally the most generous reward, but this does not mean that the chief of staff There will be no credit, no rewards, and based on his understanding of His Majesty, he will not be stingy with the rank.

However, the chief of staff got into the horns, thinking that her contribution was not as great as his. Even if her contribution was second only to his, the reward would be somewhat uncertain. Well, you can only add officials, or you can't add a few levels.

Thinking of this chief of staff felt a little unbalanced. If it wasn't for Rob's sudden airborne, all of this should have been hers. Once she drank too much, she complained to her subordinates, but she didn't expect to fall into the hearts of her subordinates. Boss They can only get this reward, let alone them, it will only be lower, so naturally there is a care in my heart.

Originally, they only had some petty thoughts in their hearts, but when Rob was shot, he handed over all important military and political affairs to the chief of staff, which made her subordinates' hearts start to heat up, and their ambitions became bigger and bigger. When they found an opportunity, they urged the chief of staff self-reliance.

The chief of staff was originally unbalanced, and then she was repeatedly swore allegiance and incitement by her subordinates, coupled with the authority that Rob Yun personally handed over to her, her heart, which was originally just a little bit of complaint, began to swell.

He really had the idea of ​​seeking self-reliance, and secretly and roughly formulated a charter with his subordinates, first to win over allies in the army as much as possible, then to take full control of the army, then to kill the supervisor and Luo Buyun, and finally to occupy the independence of the four new provinces be king.

But what she didn't expect was that in addition to the confidant generals on the bright side, Luo Buyan also had hidden chess. He was a general who occasionally contradicted Robin on the surface and was obviously neutral, and her subordinates did not inquire carefully. Probe first and then win over, but it will be exposed in front of Rob.

After more than a year of fighting, now it is finally over, and with such a big victory, some people want to go home quickly, some people worry that the rewards are not enough, and some people have ulterior motives. These are all normal, but it does not include the intention to rebel .

This forced Rob, whose health was not well maintained at all, and who was getting heavier and heavier, had to take charge of important military and political affairs again, and quickly tried the case of the chief of staff's conspiracy. Only when a head fell to the ground and Rob gave a loud lecture on the spot and promised that His Majesty would reward his majesty for his meritorious deeds, the army was completely calmed down.

After this incident, the Superintendent and the Dean are even more devoted to their duties, for fear that the past will repeat itself. After all, the occurrence of this incident means that their teaching and supervision have neglected their duties. It will also be implicated, and in the end it will remain infamous in history for thousands of years!

After Shi Min received the detailed report of this incident, she was heartbroken. She is not a stingy person! Both the chief of staff and the generals who participated in this battle have made great efforts in this battle. When they come back, no matter whether they are promoted or promoted to nobles, they will be sure. There are all of them, but now because of too much ambition, not only will they not get anything, but they will also hurt their families. It is really sad and lamentable!

She was never stingy with awarding rewards during wartime, as long as General Luo Buyun's meritorious service was reported, she would immediately issue the reward order, but now that the war is over, as a rule, the awarding will be given after returning to the court.

But now it seems that because the new four provinces are far away from the imperial court, and they have worked so hard to conquer the city, if they don’t see that their efforts will be rewarded immediately, they must be slack or have other ideas. It was no longer suitable, Shi Min discussed with Bu Qianxue first, then called the important ministers to discuss, and issued the reward order as soon as possible.

Anyway, except for the first official uniform, gold and silver jewellery, jade belts, pens, swords and other special items, the rest of the rewards had to be prepared by themselves, so there was no inconvenience in giving rewards in advance, and it saved a lot of trouble.

For example, conferring clothes is not really giving clothes to ministers directly, but after conferring, they can find someone to make such clothes and wear them on their bodies, otherwise it is trespassing and they will be punished if they are found.

But not all gifts are the same. For example, the gift given to a dependent country is the superimposition of clothes and dressing rights, but the number of sets is determined by the emperor himself, and only one set can be given, or one set can be given in one style.

Anyway, her idea is to send out the will of the rewards first, and as for the rewards, they will be given after their teachers return to the court. This will also quickly stabilize the morale of the army, so that no one will be easily incited and the old things will not happen again.

As Shi Yan had promised before, Luo Buyun was named the king of the new county. The word "Xin" is enough to commemorate his great contributions to the establishment of the new four provinces. It goes without saying, even ordinary soldiers are rewarded a lot.

The decree of the reward and the reward materials were sent to the army together. The soldiers received visible benefits, had a good meal, and had enough wine and meat, so that the hearts of the soldiers were completely stabilized.

Luo Bumin was also very energetic because of his wishes, but because the arrow wound was good and bad, he persisted until the teacher returned to the dynasty and set off, and then he fell down. He entrusted him to the Dean, the highest remaining official, and the Supervising Army assisted him.

On the other side, the negotiation between Qian Suiyou and Yan Yinuo went smoothly at the beginning, and the other party was also very kind, but later they entered a stalemate because they secretly learned that Luo Buyun was seriously ill and immediately regretted it.

Shi Yan didn't know how they got the news, and wanted to use Rob Min to lead the army to return to the court to put pressure on Braque and the Wolf Country, but he fell short, but after all, the army still had strength, so he directly ordered Yan Yinuo and Qian Sui The two of you have a tough talk, threats and intimidation are fine, the Western Expeditionary Army will return soon, and she will also send troops to the border between the two countries to help them in January.

The two vassals who originally only wanted more benefits, saw the movement of the Hua Dynasty and the momentum of the front and rear attacks, and they were instantly discouraged.

The monarchs and ministers of the two subordinate countries were quite shocked when they learned that Fang La was defeated. King Fang La not only killed his family but also committed suicide, because they would never do that anyway. Yes, so I have a little admiration, and I want to be tougher.

In the end, they were hardened for only three or two days, and then they did not hesitate, because they saw too clearly that Hua Dynasty was not only good at attacking the city, but also defending the city and governing it. Respecting the other party's customs, clan autonomy, etc. Very novel.

The powerful aristocratic businessmen were able to be wooed, and those who could not be wooed, who did a lot of evil and caused harm to the world, were killed and set a good example, so they won the support of a large number of noble businessmen and common people.

Originally a dozen or twenty countries were actually divided into four provinces by the Hua Dynasty according to local conditions. The Hua Dynasty also migrated some Han people here one after another. North Korea's territory.

They really want to grab food from the tiger's mouth, but unfortunately they are like a mirror in their hearts. No matter how ambitious they are, they can't make up for the lack of ability and strength. Therefore, they have already planned in their hearts, but they just want to get more benefits, but they don't think about the always talkative emperor. Your Majesty is very disrespectful this time.

I heard that the troops sent to fight are only a small part of the Hua Dynasty, and the real elite troops are all in the Hua Dynasty. In the face of absolute strength, what can they do if they don't admit their weakness!

As long as people admit that they are timid, their attitude will improve, and the negotiations will finally continue, and continue to advance in the direction Hua Chao expected.

In the end, Huachao only spent a little less than expected to take over the southwestern official roads of Braque and Wolf, and the area obtained was much larger than previously expected, because the southwest official roads returned to Huachao. , the small piece of sand bordering Wolf Country and Braque was cut off from it.

This piece of land is really only a small piece of land on the map, and it is not good for grazing or producing food. After discussing it, the wolf king and his ministers simply sold it to Hua Dynasty. In fact, the wolf hegemony disagreed at the beginning, but the ministers all agreed. Counseled, and overwhelmed by Hua Dynasty's military strength, he finally reluctantly agreed.

As for Braque, the king of Chaolu and Fu Yao in disguise are all willing. After all, it is the request of the boss behind him. How dare they refuse to agree, but the other tribes are not happy. After all, they are just asking Huachao for help, and The Hua Dynasty also captured the land of the four new provinces, why should they let them cede the land as a thank you gift?

Qian Suiyou's good nature was also polished, and he got Shi Min's order to tear up his face and tell them all the miserable appearance of being beaten by Fang La. The thick-skinned would not hear it, but anyone with a conscience would He lowered his head, after all, what he said was the truth.

In particular, the two tribes near the Southwest official road rely on this road for their livelihood, and they disagree with life and death. They were blushed and stiff necked by Qian Suiyou's words, and refused to bow their heads, but they agreed with the general trend Under the circumstances, the two tribes also had to back down.

After all, it was a matter of future survival, and they didn't want to compromise, but they couldn't stand the King Chaolu's strength. They not only persuaded the important ministers and the tribes, but also found two good grasslands to make up for them, so they had to agree.

And the Southwest official road that originally belonged to them and its [-]-mile radius were all ceded to the Hua Dynasty, which is equivalent to a narrow section of land in the west at the junction of Braque and the Wolf Country was completely ceded to the Hua Dynasty.

The cost paid by Huachao is only some enrollment quotas, gold and silver, and Brack subjects who enter and exit the Southwest Official Road (formerly Brack) without paying customs duties for 50 years, and can freely enter and exit and do business.

The wolf country also gave these conditions, but the money was twice as much as that of Blake, because the territory was large enough, and the losses from the war could not be counted on their heads, so in the end they gave 500 taels of gold and 5000 taels of silver, which was more than what Shi Min had expected. The estimated price is 1000 taels of gold and 1 taels of silver, which is half saved.

The contract took effect from the date of signing, and the delivery and re-drawing of the border line will be completed within one month. The relationship between the two parties is still the suzerain country and the dependent country, and they must not lightly use weapons, otherwise the other party has the right to lead troops to attack.

The people on the original land, Langguo and Braque, can move out within one month. If they don’t move out, after the land is assigned to the Hua Dynasty, the people on the land will automatically become the subjects of the Hua Dynasty and be under the management of the Hua Dynasty. Intervene again.

In this way, the Hua Dynasty and the new four provinces that were separated at both ends were completely connected, and became a monolithic Hua Dynasty that absorbed the new territory. The latest version of the Hua Dynasty territory.

After looking at the latest map, she frowned, because the southwestern official road she bought was as small as the aorta connecting the head to the heart, and it might break if she didn't pay attention. This made her think a lot, and finally thought A way was to set up four important military towns on the purchased southwest official road, serving as horns for each other and guarding the aisles and the safety of passing business travelers.

The scorching sun hangs high, it hasn’t rained in Fandu for almost half a month, the river water has dropped a little, the people are so hot that they can’t wait to soak in the ice water from time to time, the business of ice workshops and shops is booming, and there is less communication between nobles and nobles some.

The Hanliang Hall inside the palace is a different scene, the palace attendants wear more clothes than the people outside, but there is not a drop of sweat on their faces, even His Majesty who is playing the piano and the accompaniment of the Xun in the middle palace are very refreshing.

Lu Guanchu and Lu Yan, who had been listening to the sidelines, summed up again in their hearts. His Majesty's piano is still not good, but at least it's not unpleasant, while the Xun in Zhonggong is better, and the ensemble is not bad, plus The last piece was composed by His Majesty again, and I was fascinated after listening to it. ?
