capital.
In the imperial palace, in the Qianqing Palace.
Five people, including Wang Baihui, Yan Changshan, Cao You, Deng Zheng and Li Qiang, dressed in military general uniforms, stood in front of the throne with respectful expressions.
There were eunuchs and imperial guards standing all around, watching them eagerly.
In the Chu Dynasty. Most emperors in the past dynasties liked to live in the Yangxin Hall, so they often met with officials from other dynasties in the Yangxin Hall. Gradually, Qianqing Palace, the emperor's serious residence, became a foil.
Wu Nian and Liu Xiang have a very good relationship as a couple. Behind Qianqing Palace is Kunning Palace.
He often met with officials from other dynasties in Qianqing Palace, and the status of Yangxin Palace declined in the Han Dynasty.
Nowadays, there are so many things in the Han Dynasty. Liu Zhixing, Zhang Haiping and other cabinet ministers are busy handling government affairs around the world.
Wu Nian spent the summer vacation in the palace and was very leisurely. But there are some issues in principle that he still needs to deal with.
For example, the appointment of court officials.
At present, the imperial court's major enemies are in the south and north, the generals at various passes along the Great Wall in the north, and the generals in the Yellow River Navy in the south.
They are all recommended by the people below. The cabinet goes through a formality and comes to the king.
Only with Wu Nian's consent can they take office.
Soldiers are easy to talk to. The number of surrendered troops from all over Chu State and Hebei Province was as high as a hair on an ox. After eliminating the old and weak, there are still many strong and strong people left.
At present, the Ministry of War has integrated the personnel needed from the north and the south, and is waiting for the general to take office.
And these five people were all admirals of the navy, recommended by Li Tianbao.
Cao You, Deng Zheng, and Li Qiang were all members of the navy.
Although the river navy and the navy are two different things.
But it is better to let a naval general take office than to promote an infantry general.
As long as Wu Nian nods, the three of them will become ten thousand households in the Yellow River water army.
As for Wang Baihui and Yan Changshan. They performed very eye-catchingly during Li Tianbao's raid on the southeastern coast.
When Li Tianbao withdrew from the southeast coast, he brought their troops and accompanying family members to the north.
When Wu Nian ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he also gave them many rewards.
The court's plan is. Let these two people become infantry generals and lead thousands of households to Yanmen Pass. Together with Xue Pingkou, the general of Yanmen Pass, he suppressed the Slavs.
Originally, the Chu State had only 20,000 elite soldiers at Yanmen Pass. Now it has increased to 30,000 households, with a population of about 36,000.
Although Wu Nian did not plan to establish a garrison of ten thousand households in Beizhili, which would lead to redundant troops and waste. But the defense of the Great Wall on the border is extremely important.
The Slavs were too powerful.
The status of the five generals has basically been obtained. But the final step was still missing, plus meeting the emperor alone made me a little nervous.
For example, Cao You wanted to talk to his colleagues Deng Zheng and Li Qiang, but under the gaze of the surrounding guards and eunuchs, he did not dare to speak and felt very uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty has arrived."
At this moment, an extremely sharp voice sounded. Cao You immediately breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down with the other four people, and saluted: "Your Majesty."
Wu Nian, surrounded by the imperial guards and eunuchs, came to the throne and sat down. He raised his head and said, "No courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The five people thanked them and stood up, bending down and lowering their heads in a respectful manner.
These few people. Wu Nian only knew Li Qiang. Therefore, let them report their homes first. After getting to know each other, Wu Nian turned his attention to Li Qiang and the others and said, "Your Yellow River troops and horses have been prepared by the Ministry of War. Don't worry about military supplies. Even the river warships will take time to build."
"And many of the soldiers don't know how to swim. Now on the side of the Chu Dynasty, Xiong Wuwo and Emperor Zhangwu are working hard. You can't underestimate them. After arriving at the Yellow River, we must not relax for a moment in training and defense."
"Yes." Li Qiang and the others bowed in response.
"Yes." Wu Nian nodded and turned his eyes to Wang Baihui and Yan Changshan.
Although the two of them didn't see it, they felt it and couldn't help but become more nervous and lowered their heads lower.
For the two of them, it was truly like a dream.
Battle in the Southeast.
Wang Baihui was originally a top soldier, but was promoted to Qianhu by Li Tianbao.
Yan Changshan was originally from a hundred households, but was promoted to a thousand households by Li Tianbao.
After arriving in the north, they participated in Wu Nian's enthronement ceremony and received awards. Now he is working hard and is about to be promoted to general.
It's really a dragon that changes when the storm comes.
Wang Baihui is a straight-tempered person and has already made up his mind. In this life, my body is wrapped in horse leather to repay His Majesty's kindness.
Yan Changshan is not like Wang Baihui, he has more thoughts. But he has also made up his mind to make a name for himself in the Han Dynasty.
Dynasties change and the world is full of great conflicts.
He wanted to strive for continuous wealth and honor, so that his family and the Han Dynasty would always be in harmony.
"General Wang, General Yan. Although this is the first time for me to meet you, I know your deeds very well. I also trust you. After you arrive at Yanmen Pass, you will become Xue Ping's deputy."
"Help me defend against the Slavs. But I don't want to defend them to the death. Being passively beaten is not my style. Cooperate with the Imperial City Department and go out of the city when you have the chance. Attack Datong Mansion in the north."
"Of course. Don't fight carelessly to avoid losing troops and generals."
"In short. We must maintain a certain degree of control."
Wu Nian encouraged.
"Yes." Wang Baihui and Yan Changshan took a deep breath and responded loudly.
These few short sentences.
This made Wang Baihui and Yan Changshan strongly feel that the Han State was different from the Chu State.
In the state of Chu. The autonomy of generals is very low. If you send out troops at will, you may be executed if you win. Not to mention losing.
Moreover, generals with heavy troops are often surrounded by supervisors.
Or civil servants, or eunuchs.
There was no supervisory army in the Han Dynasty. The generals decide whether to fight or not.
Although there were some words, Wu Nian didn't say them.
But the two knew what Wu Nian meant.
Just let it go.
If you win, you will be rewarded heavily.
Lost the fight. I'll tell you the truth. Just go ahead and do it.
The Han Dynasty was simply a paradise for generals.
Wang Baihui and Yan Changshan took a deep breath, very greedy. The air in the Han Dynasty was sweet.
So cool.
Wu Nian said something to them and sent them away.
The imperial edict was immediately issued, and the Han Dynasty gained five more generals.
There is nothing else to do today. Wu Nian looked at the sky, left Qianqing Palace, and walked to Kunning Palace, intending to have lunch with Liu Xiang.
"Brother, I was just going to find you." Liu Xiang was very gorgeous in the Queen's formal attire and looked like she was about to go out. When she saw Wu Nianhou, her face showed joy and she said.
"What's the matter?" Wu Nian took Liu Xiang's little hand, came to the throne and sat down.
The eunuchs, maids, etc. lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at the emperor and empress showing affection.
"Brother. Now except for Shanxi, Hebei is generally stable. Shouldn't we give the prince and the elder among the kings a wife?"
"There are also Wuyang and Huazhuang. They are both in their early twenties. Although the daughter of the royal family has no worries about getting married, it is not very good."
At the end of Liu Xiang's words, she became worried.
