Morning.
The palace was full of maids and eunuchs.
Wu Nian never took the initiative to recruit eunuchs and maids into the palace, they were all snatched by him. Most of them are from the Goguryeo Palace, and a few are from the Meng Yuan Palace.
This time. The Han army robbed half of the eunuchs and maids in the Chu palace.
The remaining half was taken away by Xiong Wuwo.
At present, these eunuchs and maids of Chu State are placed elsewhere. You can't just use it, you have to screen it first.
Inside Kunning Palace.
On the bed. Wu Nian opened his eyes and reached out to touch, but there was no one beside his pillow.
"Such a fragrance. I got up so early." Wu Nian looked at the sky outside the window, smiled and shook his head, and called the maid in to wash and change clothes.
"Brother, wake up. I made the lotus seed and white fungus soup specially. You fill your stomach first. The food will be served soon." Liu Xiang was wearing an ordinary palace dress, carrying a wooden plate, and walked in with two palace maids. He said to Wu Nian.
"Yeah." Wu Nian hummed, reached out for the lotus seed and tremella soup, and finished it in a few seconds. Liu Xiang took out a fragrant handkerchief and wiped Wu Nian's mouth happily.
This bowl of porridge is just for appetizer.
Soon, the eunuchs from the imperial dining room came in with meals.
Four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetarian dishes, each dish is very generous.
Wu Nian ate three large bowls of rice, and most of the vegetable soup went into his stomach. Liu Xiang only ate half of it.
After having dinner together, Liu Xiang left. He said that he made an appointment with Kyogoku Yuki to go to Jingshan to play.
After Wu Nian sat and thought for a while, he raised his head and said to the eunuch beside him: "Go and ask the prince to come over."
"Yes." The eunuch responded, turned and left.
"Father." Prince Wu Yu, wearing the clothes of a prince, walked in from the outside and saluted respectfully. His face was white and quiet.
"Are you getting used to living in Handu as a new person?" Wu Nian looked at his face and asked with concern.
"Reporting to my father, I feel a little uncomfortable. The weather in Handu is hotter than that in Liaodong." Wu Yu nodded slightly.
"Yeah. Make sure you drink plenty of water on weekdays to avoid heatstroke. Also, my father suggests you go for a run or something. I'll see how white you are."
Wu Nian said with a smile.
"Yes." Wu Yu nodded quietly.
Wu Nian knew that his words fell on deaf ears again. This guy has a good idea. He likes silence and dislikes movement.
But Wu Nian wasn't too worried about this kid's health, he was still strong.
The father and son talked for a while and then set off for the Wenhua Hall.
The Wenhua Hall of the Forbidden City is located in the front palace. Located in the southeast direction. Symmetrical to it is the Wuying Hall in the southwest.
One in literature and one in martial arts.
The cabinet is located in Wenhua Hall and Wenyuan Pavilion.
It is far away from the location of Qianqing Palace. Both father and son rode in sedan chairs and walked for a long time before arriving at the Wenhua Hall.
The cabinet ministers got the news and came out early to greet him.
Wu Nian and Wu Yu got off the sedan. Wu Nian didn't wait for them to salute, he said no courtesy, and then entered the Wenhua Hall first.
He sat on the throne, and Wu Yu stood beside him. The cabinet ministers stood in two rows below.
Wu Nian looked at Wang Youxiao. Although he was also a veteran, he was not used to the fact that Lao Li was gone.
"I'm here today. There are a few things. News came last night. Because I treated Daojun Emperor well, the Chu general who was guarding Baoding sent people to surrender. Currently, east of the Taihang Mountains in Hebei Province and north of the Yellow River, large All Chu generals have surrendered."
"But there are many small Chu generals and bandits. The Ministry of War dispatched soldiers and horses to wipe out the bandits and bandits. The leader was killed. All the party members were detained and sent to the Sanhan area to reclaim the frontier. Don't tolerate it."
Wu Nian said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Liu Zhixing took the lead and bowed in salute.
Wu Yu listened quietly. In other dynasties, the relationship between the king and the prince was very delicate. But there wasn't that much filth in their house.
He basically knew everything Wu Nian knew.
At present, Xiong Wuwo has crossed the river, and the situation is unknown. On the Shanxi side, there were also Chu generals who relied on the terrain to defend Taiyuan and refused to surrender.
The rest of Hebei is basically pacified.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with the surrendered Chu troops? Do we need to set up a garrison of ten thousand households?" Liu Zhixing thought for a moment and then asked.
The army of Han. Thousands of households were guarded and field troops coexisted.
In the year of Wu, when he pacified the Three Han Dynasties, Liaodong, Youyan, Xinqi, and Ryukyu, there were ten thousand garrison households, especially in the Fusang area, where there were many soldiers and horses.
The reasons are complex. The Sanhan region is a frontier. The Fuso area had just been pacified, not only to appease the Fuso warriors who had lost their livelihoods, but also to suppress the Fuso people's restoration activities.
Wu Nian's eyes flashed, and he turned around and asked Wu Yu, "What do you think, Prince?"
The ministers were all moved in their hearts and looked up at Wu Yu.
Wu Yu replied without hesitation: "In the heart of Hebei, there is no need to set up a special garrison of ten thousand households. A large number of troops will lead to redundant troops and waste, and increase the burden on the people of Hebei."
"But at present, various passes on the Great Wall, especially Yanmen Pass, need to be guarded."
"South of the Yellow River, Xiong Wuwo holds 80,000 horse infantry and refuses to surrender. I don't know what he is thinking."
"My ministers believe that the surrendered Chu army, the old and the weak, should be disbanded as civilians and the stronger ones should be integrated into the army. They may go to Changcheng Town to guard the passes, or they may establish an inland navy along the Yellow River."
"To deal with the enemies from the north and the south."
Wu Nian looked satisfied, raised his head and said to Liu Zhixing, "Just do as the prince said."
Xiong Wuwo is a very dangerous person.
Although the battle in Hebei. Xiong Wuwo's plan to build a plank road to cross Chencang secretly failed. Emperor Daojun was captured alive by him.
But Wu Nian vaguely felt that Xiong Wuwo had a backup plan.
It was not that easy for the Han Dynasty to rely on propaganda to pacify the world.
Shanxi has not yet been pacified, and Beizhili is also in chaos. Let’s get the Hebei area under control first.
"Your Majesty, what the prince said is true. But I think the Chu army is really weak. Even if the best soldiers are selected and retrained, it will take a long time to become elite soldiers."
"It is better to allocate half of Li Tianbao's navy to build river warships and let him guard the Yellow River. This can not only save navy military expenses, but also quickly form combat effectiveness."
The second assistant, Zhang Haiping, took a step forward, cupped his hands and saluted.
Wu Nian immediately shook his head and said: "The navy cannot be reduced. Not only cannot it be reduced, but it will have to be increased in the future when the world is peaceful."
At this point, Wu Nian became serious and said to everyone: "Our previous dynasties in China have focused on the land. It is like the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when the land was invincible."
"But the sea power is weak."
"From now on, our Han Dynasty will pay equal attention to both sea and land."
"If the navy gets on the river warships and stops sailing on the sea, it will soon be unable to sail."
"Li Tianbao's navy should sail in a planned manner. It should sail to and from the ports and seas of Xinqi, Liaodong, Youyan, and Beizhili."
