Huo Qing chuckled, "It's useless even if you write now, General Ren may not be at home."
The others looked at each other and immediately became energetic.
Huang Ming couldn't help lowering his voice, "Your Majesty, is Xingluo preparing to..."
As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows towards the north.
Huo Qing slowly picked up the tea cup, took a sip unhurriedly, and then smiled at the pitiful people on the table.
"What are you looking at me doing? I didn't say anything just now."
cut!
They all grew up together, and even though their status was far lower than that of Huo Qing, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo, they couldn't help but slap him angrily at this time.
"Anyway, everyone just needs to know what's going on. Just be prepared when you get back." Huo Qing had no choice but to add.
Uh-huh.
A lot of people understand.
Almost all of them are disciples of the generals. From now on, they will either go to the Yankuo Fortress in the west, or they will follow Huang Ming northward in a while. Anyway, they all have to be ready for the battlefield at any time.
well.
Unlike other people who were excited and excited, Huang Ming was actually a little worried at this time.
"I, Huang Ming, am so virtuous and capable, His Majesty actually let me, a young boy, lead the troops northward..."
After a trip to the west, he realized how far behind he was from the real leading general.
"It's not surprising." Huo Qing gently put down the tea cup in his hand, "Your Majesty has always been like this, so choosing you is both unexpected and reasonable."
The people in the circle looked at each other, and everyone couldn't help but think deeply.
There are thousands of titles in Yunchui. Except for Uncle Cheng'en, they have always been awarded only to generals with outstanding military exploits.
Although there is a rule of breaking up after three generations, after hundreds of years of accumulation, the aristocracy of the entire empire is still huge.
And the title is related to the regulation of the lintel property.
For example, the Xiao family used to be the Protector's Mansion, and their mansion was as grand as the Zhenguo Mansion across the street.
Later, it became an uncle's residence. Even if the Xiao family was unwilling, they would have to cut off some of their own mansion and ancestral property and sell it to others to comply with the regulations of the uncle's residence.
The Xiao family sold that part of the mansion, which is now Ren Ning's home in Star City.
As the title drops again and again, the mansion will follow suit.
Once they lost their title, those families basically lost the conditions to live in Qinglong, Zhuque, Xuanwu and Baihu Street, and they disappeared from the public.
In order to regain some titles, the descendants of generals who were not favored by the emperor were often not reused.
For example, Xiao Zheng's Yue family Yongchang Hou Mansion.
Marquis Yongchang is old and has five sons besides his son.
Among these five sons, only one, Fang Yinbao, is currently employed in the Ministry of War.
The reason why he was able to join the Ministry of War was because he happened to be a supervisor at Zhennanguan during the Nanfeng War.
Fang Yinbao has been in the Ministry of War. He may be promoted through seniority, but it is almost impossible to obtain enough merit to maintain the position of marquis.
It can be said that now all high-ranking officials in Xingji City are almost certain that the Yongchang Hou Mansion will become the Yongchang Bo Mansion by the end of this year.
This was also one of the reasons why Mrs. Zhongyongbo Liu Wangan explicitly rejected him when Yongchanghou and his wife came to their door at the beginning of the year.
Huang Ming frowned deeply, "It's understandable that Your Majesty didn't choose those old nobles, but why did you choose me?"
Behind the General's Palace where they show off their power is the Zhenguo Duke's Palace. As long as the disciples are not afraid of death, it will be easy to gain military exploits.
"What's weird?" Someone tsked, "It's true that your Majesty is like this... and you still want to divide and conquer us."
Yunchui people pay attention to gracious relationships.
As long as Huang Ming went north and made meritorious deeds, he or the General's Mansion would have to accept the support of Guanyi from the Ministry of War and the gratitude of Emperor Changxing.
In other words, from now on, they can only break away from the Zhenguo Palace and stand on the side of the Ministry of War and the royal family.
"That's it." Huang Ming suddenly realized.
"It doesn't matter," Huo Qing reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "We are cousins, but we are also the generals of the empire. Guarding the country and driving away enemies from abroad is the primary responsibility of us people, and nothing else is important."
"I understand." Huang Ming couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
"Actually, Your Majesty should also have a headache now." Some people couldn't help but gloated.
A few days ago, Mo Canghai of Jiuyuan County sent people to escort back several Japanese pirate messengers, and also brought back a secret letter sent by Genjing Masato to the Sishan Islands.
After seeing this, Emperor Changxing suddenly realized and became furious at the same time.
Huang Shitao, the former guard of Beihai Customs, wasted no time in reporting the number of soldiers. No wonder the Japanese pirates captured the majestic gate of Beijiang in just two days.
"Your Majesty is serious this time. Now I don't know how many imperial envoys are going to various border passes and legion stations with Shang Fang's sword with murderous intent. They want to verify the number of their soldiers and material reserves one by one to see if there is anything abnormal."
Tsk tsk tsk.
The man shook his head, "I don't know how many heads will fall to the ground this time."
There was silence.
Huo Qing didn't say anything, just lowered his eyes silently.
As the king of a country, Emperor Changxing wished he had all the power in his hands when he was healthy in the past. Could he really know nothing about the situation of various legions and border areas?
Now that they are going to war, they probably want to take the opportunity to eradicate some disobedient people or pave the way for the next emperor.
cough.
Huang Ming coughed.
He looked up at Huo Qing.
"Your Majesty, Genjing Masato's letter suggested that the Sishan Islands continue to attack Huayang County to obtain food. Who will your Majesty intend to send to guard this time? The East China Sea Barrier?"
But Lu Fuhai of the East China Sea Barrier is still "reporting on his duties" at the Ministry of War.
Huo Qing shook his head.
"It's not all the East China Sea Barrier. After you lead the troops north, the East China Sea Barrier will probably have to send most of its troops to block the North Sea to prevent the Sishan Islands from sending reinforcements to the North Customs."
He looked up to the south, "The Central Corps should be defending on the shore."
The faces of everyone in the private room couldn't help but look strange.
Lin Hanmo is now guarding Dinghai Wharf, and all the baggage of the Central Army's vanguard army has been delivered by land and water.
But because the previous record of the Central Army was too disastrous.
If Ishikawa Taki continues to send troops westward, they will inevitably doubt whether the Central Army can withstand it.
"Don't worry, everyone." Huo Qing smiled slightly, "His Majesty has also lost confidence in Lin Hanmo. Now he has ordered Feng Haohan, the general of the army, to lead troops and horses. Soon the entire Central Army will move east."
When the time comes, whether the Central Legion is a dragon or a worm, we will know in one battle.
"I hope he is a dragon crossing the river." Many people agreed.
Many of them had followed Emperor Changxing to hunt in Ruinan Mountain and had seen the true military appearance of the Central Army Corps.
Although I don't like Feng Haohan, Huayang County is too important, so I still hope that the Central Army Corps can work hard to hold it.
Huo Qing disagreed.
He reached out and patted Huang Ming's shoulder again.
"Whether the central army can hold it or not, you should pay more attention to your back when attacking Beihaiguan."
Damn it.
Some people reacted very quickly and started yelling.
"After defeating Huayang County, the Japanese pirates can go north to Jiuyuan Racecourse. As long as they have horses, they will almost reach Beiguan City. Huang Ming, you must really listen to the prince and be careful behind your back."
"That's what you said." Huang Ming was slightly startled, and nodded quickly in agreement, "I will set up defenses in the rear by then."
