"In addition, I hope that Yizhou can have considerable autonomy. After all, Yizhou has a special situation. It can neither copy Yanyun's development model nor learn from Gao Juli's management model. Boss, this is not my exclusive power. I really don't want to Being constrained by others, during the two years I was in Yizhou, half of my energy was spent dealing with the six departments of the imperial court."
"I agree in principle, but I still need to seek the old man's opinion first." Xiao Chen said, "It won't be too late to discuss this in detail when we return to Yanyun, and how we will deal with the relationship with Da Zhou after we regain Yizhou. Relationships are also important…”
Emperor Shenzhao agreed to send troops to Yizhou. In fact, after discussing numerous possibilities, he and his ministers discovered that at present, they actually had no choice at all.
And helping Xiao Chen capture Yizhou is actually beneficial to them, at least in the short term... If we think about it in the long term, it seems that we can't think too far now.
They must clearly understand the current situation and make the right decision. They cannot make the same mistake again and again.
Now, all bets are placed on Yanyun County, and we will not consider reconciling with Dazhou for the time being... maybe we won't be able to consider it for a long time in the future.
Ren Haitang once again asked to go to war, but this time he was flatly rejected by Emperor Shenzhao. The reason given was quite grand. General Xiaolin's expedition to Antinissa last year was already very hard. I can't send you again this time no matter what.
In fact, I feel scared now, because General Xiaolin Daoguang only has a daughter like you. If something happens, how can I be worthy of the old general who is under Jiuquan?
So this time, it’s better to send someone else.
In fact, this battle in Yizhou is very different from the battle in Andinisha. Because although the battle against Antinisa also had Xiao Chen's help, it was still the Japanese Navy that took the lead, and traveling thousands of miles away was still quite risky.
Yizhou is relatively close to Japan, and Japan is only sending troops in name this time. In fact, the main force of the battle is the Yanyun Navy, so there is no risk in theory. Emperor Shenzhao himself wants to conquer it personally. Think about it...
He hoped to send a general who was loyal to him. After all, the credit this time would be in vain.
The young men in the army were the most active in this battle. Letters of challenge, letters of blood, and affidavits came like snowflakes. Because they knew that they were still junior in the army, they did not take the initiative to ask Ying to be a general, but they all unanimously recommended Xiao Lin. Haitang's son Xiaolin Bijiang came to serve as the commander-in-chief.
Emperor Shenzhao was also extremely surprised by this. He had also seen this boy. He had not even grown up to work, so how could he take on such an important responsibility?
But he also knew that this boy had a pretty good relationship with Xiao Chenjun. He heard that he was also Xiao Chen's younger brother Xiao Ye's brother?
If this is the case, it seems that it is not impossible, because youth also has advantages... Japan now also needs the injection of new blood.
Naturally, we need to seek Xiao Chen's opinion on this. Xiao Chen has a very clear attitude and firmly supports letting Mr. Xiaolin Pijiang take the lead!
I have known this boy for a long time, and I know his abilities very well. Since ancient times, heroes have been born in young men, and he has been a young hero!
In time, he will definitely become a pillar of your Japanese talent and a star of famous generals. Brother Shenzhao, you should train him more.
One more thing I just want to tell you, Brother Shenzhao, the relationship between Xiaolin Pijiangjun and his mother is actually quite subtle. As for how subtle it is, I can’t say it directly. Please, Brother Shenzhao. You can taste it slowly later...
Just know. Emperor Shenzhao personally met with Ren Pijiang. After a confidential discussion with him, Dang even decided to appoint him as the commander-in-chief of the expedition against Yizhou. He also gave him fifty warships, two thousand naval elites, and five thousand troops. Soldiers and horses fighting on land.
This decision was beyond everyone's expectation, even Ren Haitang didn't expect it.
When Emperor Shenzhao suddenly announced the matter at the meeting, summoned Ren Pijiang, who had been waiting outside for a long time, appointed him as naval general in public, and personally handed him the military talisman and appointment letter, he simply did not dare to Trust your eyes!
She originally thought that everyone would strongly object, at least the other three shogunate people would never agree, but unexpectedly, the three families seemed to have been informed of the matter in advance and all remained silent.
The three shogunates didn't speak, and the other ministers naturally wouldn't object. After all, Emperor Shen Zhao didn't seem to want to ask for their opinions...
Why did my son become a general and only hide it from me?
Or is this a surprise you designed for me? But at this moment, Ren Haitang was only surprised, not happy.
After returning home, he immediately asked Ren Pijiang, "What's going on?"
"Actually, my son is still in the clouds and mist. He can't figure out what's going on!" Ren Bijiang said hurriedly, "To put it bluntly, these are all Hayama Ichiro, Ishikawa Ridge, Oizumi Sunny and the others. I originally just thought of their proposal as a joke, but I didn’t expect them to make such a big fuss! They even convinced the emperor.”
"You mean you didn't know about it all along?" Ren Haitang said coldly.
"My son really doesn't know anything about it! Emperor Shenzhao also asked his son for a few words two days ago, but he didn't say anything about appointing his son to be a naval general. He just sent his son to carry out weapons outside the city. The factory took a look, and I just came back today to restore the emperor's life..." Ren Bijiang really didn't know.
"If that's the case, why don't you resign? You're new here and you're so young, so you dare to take on such an important responsibility?" Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Ren Haitang's expression brightened a little and his tone softened a little.
"Mother, my son was so confused at that time. Don't even say anything, he couldn't even say anything! Even now, his mind is still like a ball of mush and a mess." Ren Bijiang said with a bitter face, "This moment Only then did I realize what errand I had accepted. Otherwise, why don’t I go see the emperor tomorrow to resign?”
Nonsense, you didn't resign then, but now that the matter has been settled, how can you resign? To resign is to have a fear of war, which is the crime of deceiving the emperor! Ren Haitang sighed, "Since it's irreversible, you can only do this... Do you know how to lead troops?" "
"My son knows a little bit, but he doesn't know much... Fortunately, Brother Xiao and the Yanyun Navy are taking charge of this battle. My son doesn't seem to have to worry too much. He can just listen to Brother Xiao in everything." Ren This is the idea of opening up borders.
"Well, what is your relationship with Xiao Chen like?" Ren Haitang asked.
"Oh... My son and Brother Xiao met on Paradise Island. At that time, he went to Nanyang to gather a pirate army to fight against the Russians... It happened that Nan Chen Zhongtian came to pester my aunt. Brother Xiao acted righteously and we killed Nan Chen together. Zhongtian formed a friendship because of this, and later he and Xiao Ye had similar aspirations and became friends."
Ren Bijiang explained in a few words how he got acquainted with Xiao Chen, which Ren Haitang knew.
