End of June.
Zhang Xiu ordered the deployment of troops and horses across the country.
After receiving the order, Le Bat, the commander of the Beizhou capital, ordered Liu Bao to lead 30,000 Huns cavalry south to Chang'an. After receiving the order, Zhang Ren, the commander of the Bingzhou capital, ordered Wei Yan and Yang Bai to lead 40,000 people to Chang'an to assemble. The Liangzhou capital commander After receiving the order, Pang De left Li Tong to garrison in Xiliang. He, Ma Dai and 70,000 people had already arrived in Chang'an to await the order.
At the same time, Yizhou Capital Commander Lu Xun also sent Gu Ming, Gao Shun, Li Mu, and Li Yan to lead 30,000 infantry to Chang'an to gather.
The whole country's troops and horses were mobilized, dust was flying inside and outside Chang'an City, and flags were flying.
The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.
The soldiers and horses are still on the road, and the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Military Governor's Office are already very busy. Ma Zhong and Li Hui, the number one scholar in the new science examination, were directly recruited into the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs, and were temporarily appointed as members of the Ministry of Household and Military Affairs. The position of wailang is a fifth-rank official.
This year's summer harvest has ended, and taxes and grains from various places are still coming in a hurry.
Yizhou's grain and grass have been sent to Wancheng in Nanyang one by one under the supervision of Yizhou Governor Bu Zhi. Yongzhou Governor Yan Pu also sent grain and grass to Wancheng to hoard in preparation for the army. But no one noticed that Dong Yun, the governor of Liangzhou, did not send the grain and grass to Wancheng. Liangzhou was a poor place, and no one noticed where the grain and grass in Liangzhou went.
Zhang Xiu's imperial edict mobilized the entire Dajing.
Everyone who went up to Shang Cheng Pavilion and down to the common people started to get busy. The common people who pulled grain were all hired by the imperial court. After the busy farming season, the common people wanted to make some extra money to support their families, so they signed up to pull grain and grass for 20 yuan a day. The money was naturally the Dajing Tongbao that had been circulating for a year. .
The whole country is busy, but Zhang Xiu is relaxing.
Once this year's Jingwei War starts, I don't know when it will stop. During this time, I must spend time with my family, especially my sons.
Zhang Biao is eight years old this year, but he is already about 1.7 meters tall. His face looks a bit immature, but his black and angry eyes are very similar to Zhang Xiu, revealing a coldness and wisdom. The habit of studying essays in the morning and practicing martial arts in the afternoon made Zhang Biao very strong and his arms very powerful.
His mastery of marksmanship was superb and he was passed down by Zhang Xiu.
But when it comes to martial arts, the second child Zhang Xiang is even more outstanding. He has very high attainments in martial arts and loves martial arts. He often practices privately after being taught by Zhang Xiu, and his strength is already strong.
The third son, Zhang Ling, was a Confucian general. Although his martial arts skills were not high, he was well versed in the art of war.
The fourth son, Zhang Tai, is more naughty, but also extremely smart. He has followed his mother, Da Qiao. He has big eyes and is very serious about his work. He is relatively serious in life. In terms of martial arts, he is very persistent in every move. For learning, study every word and thoroughly.
The other two sons were still young, and they followed the older brothers and played in a daze.
Among the sons, Zhang Biao was the most dignified, and his younger brothers were both afraid and respectful of him, because Zhang Biao was not only dignified, but also loving towards his younger brothers. Zhang Xiu is away from home all year round, and Zhang Biao must play the role of an elder brother and father. Coupled with Zhang Xiu's words and deeds, his ability to handle various affairs has been honed.
In this battle of Jingwei, Zhang Xiu decided to let Prince Zhang Biao supervise the country.
The three prime ministers of Shangcheng Pavilion are Jia Xu, Li Ru and Liu Ye.
In the school grounds.
Zhang Xiu had a sullen face and stared sternly at his sons who were practicing martial arts in the sun. The four sons in the front pursed their lips, sweat still flowing, and let the sun shine on them. They worked hard to perform every move, and their spears were danced. Tigers and tigers generate wind, majestic and majestic.
Since Zhang Xiu established the crown prince early, the status of monarch and ministers had been determined early.
Zhang Biao stood at the front, the other three sons stood in the second row, and the remaining two younger ones stood behind and followed. If Zhang Xiu had not come, they would have been taken care of by their eldest brother to rest. At this moment, the majestic father Standing in front, Zhang Rui and Zhang Jia didn't dare to rest, and continued to practice martial arts hard.
"There is a road to the mountain of books and diligence is the path, and there is no limit to the sea of learning and hard work is the boat." Zhang Xiu walked slowly beside him, with his hands behind his back, "The most indispensable thing for learning is hard work. Without the heart of hard work, you can't learn anything. Success. The same principle applies to martial arts training. A general will die in a hundred battles, and a strong man will return after ten years. When entering a cruel battlefield, only those with strong abilities can survive. Without the support of strong martial arts, how can one survive?"
Zhang Xiu glanced at them.
"I will obey my father's teachings!" Zhang Biao took the lead in shouting.
The other younger brothers immediately followed: "I will obey my father's teachings!"
Although the voice was childish, it was also clankful and powerful. Zhang Xiu nodded with satisfaction, took off his outer gown, and only wore a sportswear that he had modified. He drew his own gun and said to them: "In a few days, I will take it with you." Before the soldiers go out to fight, I will teach you the final marksmanship."
Zhang Xiang immediately knelt down and said: "Father, I want to go to war with you!"
Prince Zhang Biao also immediately knelt down and said, "I am willing to go with you!"
Several others immediately followed.
Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "I know your thoughts, but you are a little young and don't know the cruelty of the battlefield. When you are eighteen years old, I will let you go into battle to kill the enemy."
Then raised his hand.
The prince stood up first, followed by several others, learning the subsequent marksmanship from Zhang Xiu.
An hour later.
Zhang Xiu changed his clothes and took the prince Zhang Biao to the Study Pavilion. He ordered the three prime ministers of Shangcheng Pavilion to be summoned and given tea. Zhang Xiu looked at them with a bit of a smile and said, "I am going to ask the prince to supervise the country during the period of the expedition. I came to you today because I want to hear your opinions."
The three of them were shocked.
They looked at each other, but neither of them spoke first, but lowered their heads in thought.
Just kidding, who dares to stop the crown prince from supervising the country?
Even if it is impossible for me to serve the crown prince in this life, do I not care about future generations? Not only do you think about yourself, but you also think about your family and future generations. If the prince today remembers this matter, then their descendants will have good fruits to eat.
Of course, this is just one layer, there is a more important layer.
If the prince enters the government and the public too early, develops his own power, and forces Zhang Xiu into the palace without waiting for Zhang Xiu to leave, if such a thing happens, they will be guilty instead of meritorious.
Zhang Xiu knew their concerns and said, "You can speak freely about today's discussion, don't worry."
Jia Xu considered it carefully and said: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is my Crown Prince of Dajing. There is nothing wrong with supervising the country. Supervising the country early will lay a solid foundation for the future. Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Ru bowed his waist slightly: "I second the proposal!"
Liu Ye said: "It is a blessing for the country that the prince has been in charge of state affairs for a long time. I second my opinion!"
Zhang Xiu nodded: "The prince oversees the country, and the three of you will serve as assistants. Now that the prince is a little younger, he can just follow you to learn how to handle affairs. Just like when I go on an expedition, you can do whatever you want and treat him like a schoolboy. Just come and treat it.”
No matter what, the prince is still the prince after all. Who dares to treat him as a school boy?
The three people quickly knelt down and worshiped Yun.
