"Okay! My dear, I have promoted talents for the country, and I have recorded your contribution!"
What Wang Jing is thinking in his heart will naturally not show on his face.
With a smile on his face, he greatly appreciated Xie Hui's recommendation of talents and praised him several times in a row.
He was also specially given a mansion and asked him to be responsible for bringing Tan Daoji to Yangzhou.
Regardless of whether he and Tan Daoji reconciled or had other plans, it has nothing to do with Wang Jing, the monarch.
Since Tan Daoji came to seek refuge, he would keep him generously.
After the Huai army swept through the southern princes, Wang Jing guessed that when the news of this victory spread all over the world, many famous ministers and generals in the opposition would definitely come to join him.
For those who come to seek refuge, Wang Jing will accept them all as long as they come.
Just a little bit.
That would be that the founding of the country is imminent, and the process of three resignations and three concessions has been completed for most of the process. No matter how powerful the famous ministers and generals who came to defect at this time are, they are different from Shen Yi, Fu Youde, He Ruobi and others.
The qualifications of those who defected to Wang Jing before the founding of the country were naturally different from those who later became civil and military officials.
Partners who start a business together can all become founding heroes and elders.
And those who defected after becoming powerful and successful, although they can also be called the founding civil and military forces, in the hearts of everyone, their qualifications and status are always half a level lower.
"Tan Daoji, just talking about his personal ability, his ability to lead troops should not be comparable to Fu Youde and He Ruobi, but his ability to command troops is slightly better than Shi Wansui's, but his bravery is not as good..."
Wang Jing thought about the historical records and secretly compared Tan Daoji with the civil and military personnel under his command.
Needless to say, Fu Youde and He Ruobi commanded the army as if they were infantry, cavalry, navy, plains, mountains and canyons, with no obvious shortcomings.
In the future, even if you encounter a powerful enemy who is more powerful than yourself, you can still rely on military tactics to protect yourself.
As for Shi Wansui... his shortcomings are too obvious and are clearly recorded in history books, that is, he does not manage the army! When leading troops to fight, they did not rest or even set up camp.
This is a very obvious taboo for military strategists.
Also, you don't pay attention to form when fighting against the enemy. You just do whatever you can to win. This point is in line with the strategist's wisdom that soldiers are impermanent, power is impermanent, and water is impermanent.
In Wang Jing's eyes, Shi Wansui is a very sharp double-edged sword. If used properly, it is a magic weapon, but if used incorrectly, it can easily hurt others and yourself.
During the Sui and Tang dynasties, especially the early Sui Dynasty, Shi Wansui was regarded as the most powerful general in the Sui Dynasty. When he went to battle, the enemy troops became frightened when they heard his name. Therefore, he did not set up a warning and others did not dare to attack. .
It's just that his style of fighting is always harmful when used to abuse vegetables, because at the same time he was extremely brave, and he could often sweep away fallen leaves in the autumn wind against enemies who were not as good as himself.
But the world of China is different.
Here, Shi Wansui is no longer the number one general in the early Sui Dynasty. If he still follows his original habits, then god generals such as Yue Fei and Li Jing, and even Xu Da and Chang Yuchun can teach him a very profound lesson.
Especially Chang Yuchun, the most powerful general of the Ming Dynasty, who can run rampant in the world with an army of 100,000, and no one can stop him. His military prowess is not inferior to that of Shi Wansui, and his military command is even more rigorous, with almost no omissions.
When Shi Wansui meets Chang Yuchun, saving his life is not a problem, but the army will definitely be defeated by the opponent...
so.
In Wang Jing's mind, Shi Wansui's ability was slightly inferior to that of He Ruobi... Although He Ruobi was a bit arrogant and easily jealous, he had no shortcomings in leading troops. During the battle, he could also hold back his heart and fight with the generals who were usually at odds with him. Cooperate.
It would be great to be able to do this, and Wang Jing's requirements are not high.
…
Yangzhou Pier.
One building after another slowly approached, and after seeing the flags hanging on these buildings, the officials at the dock immediately organized their manpower to clear an open space at the dock.
Then he ordered people to take the boat to the shore.
After the ship docked, a few people got off the ship first. The officials at the dock had good eyesight and could tell that the temperament of these people was extraordinary. In addition, the military flags hanging on the ship indicated that they were either rich or noble, so they couldn't help but be more careful.
"Second Young Master, King Huai has prepared his residence in Yangzhou. After disembarking, someone will come to greet him..."
These people were Lu Su and Gu Yong who were already serving under Wang Jing, Sun Quan after the surrender, and Zhang Zhao who had been living in seclusion in Suzhou.
As a prince after the collapse of his power, Sun Quan has long lost his original ambition and momentum.
Now that King Huai is about to establish his country and ascend the throne, Sun Quan, a famous prince and king in history, will naturally come to Yangzhou to congratulate the king as a minister.
Like Xiao Daocheng, he is a tool used by Wang Jing to increase his reputation and prestige.
However, Xiao Daocheng surrendered voluntarily. Although he will no longer be able to hold power in the future, he can still enjoy wealth and preserve his family property.
Sun Quan was different. Not only was he unable to control power, he also needed to be placed under residential surveillance. When Wang Jing speaks in person, the surveillance will be cancelled.
The person who spoke was Gu Yong.
When he was in Suzhou, he took the initiative to help Gao Xi pacify various parts of Soochow, and pacified those wealthy families who did not want to live under the rule of the Huai army, as well as the cities that did not obey the rules.
Up to now, although the land of Soochow has not yet been completely stabilized, large-scale rebellions and fighting have rarely occurred.
Sun Quan glanced at the bustling dock.
Then he looked at the streets and cities in the distance. As the end of the canal, a hub of north-south transportation, and a gathering place for salt goods, Yangzhou was far more prosperous than Suzhou.
As the saying goes, Yang Yi Yi Er, Yangzhou and Chengdu were among the best big cities in any dynasty after the Qin and Han Dynasties.
After Yangzhou fell into the hands of Wang Jing.
There has been no war for a long time, and merchants and people from the north and south have also automatically gathered in Yangzhou.
Today, the number of people in Yangzhou City alone is close to one million.
There are millions of people living in and around the city. Such a huge city consumes astronomical amounts of food, vegetables, and firewood every day.
Fortunately, the fields around Yangzhou have been fully developed and can supply part of the needs.
But there are still a large amount of materials that need to be transported from all over Jiangdu Province.
Therefore, several docks in Yangzhou are operating at full capacity every day. Just when Sun Quan and others stayed here for a moment, many merchant ships docked, and some laborers quickly stepped forward to carry the goods.
Sun Quan was a little stunned by this vibrant yet orderly and prosperous scene.
Wait until Gu Yong reminds you.
Sun Quan came to his senses and said, "Let's get off the boat first!"
Lu Su and Zhang Zhao next to them sighed slightly when they saw Sun Quan's apathetic state.
But they didn't say anything.
As a defeated and surrendered prince, Sun Quan can now move freely under surveillance without risking his life, which is already very good. What comfort do they have?
Is it necessary to arouse Sun Quan's ambition and fighting spirit and let him die in vain?
After disembarking.
Wu Yong, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, brought people to greet him. This time, in addition to Sun Quan, the Sun clan also moved with him, including Sun Jing, Sun Bi, Sun Fu and others.
Sun Shangxiang is also among them.
The Sun clan members and Zhang Zhao's family members were together, and a total of dozens of carriages rushed towards the mansion in the city.
Although Zhang Zhao was unwilling to serve Wang Jing because of Sun Ce, as a ninth-level celebrity with a very high status in Soochow, the Huai Army would naturally not allow someone like him to stay in Suzhou.
He simply brought them all to Yangzhou together. Whether he was willing to serve the Huai Army or not, let him put it under his nose first.
When entering the city.
Sun Shangxiang saw several carriages in the distance. Her handsome face, which was originally heroic, was a little dim at this time, and her bright eyes looked outside the carriage casually.
Her life level is not low, her mental strength is good, and her eyesight is sharp.
From a distance, I saw a pair of big bright eyes appearing in the window of a carriage in the distance. At a glance, I could vaguely see that the other party was a beautiful woman.
When Sun Shangxiang saw the carriage in the distance.
Gu Yong, Lu Su, Sun Quan and others also saw the situation in the distance, but what they saw was not the woman in the carriage, but the man riding a horse outside.
This man is handsome, with a long sword on his waist, and his movements are quite ancient.
"Mr. Wu, I wonder who is in front of you?"
Lu Su took a step forward and asked in a low voice.
Wu Yong glanced forward and replied: "He is Yu Ziqi, the former general of the Western Chu Army... After the defeat, the brother and sister lived in Sihong. Not long ago, General Yu took the initiative to join the army and was willing to serve as the king. He is coming to Yangzhou to meet the king and attend the enthronement ceremony..."
Wu Yong was very respectful towards celebrities like Lu Su.
After all, people like him who once fell into the Liangshan Mountains have great respect and yearning for the figures of the Three Kingdoms. Just like he used to be known as the wise man and Mr. Jialiang, he often compared himself to Zhuge Liang.
Guan Sheng is also the descendant of Guan Yu, and the beautiful bearded Duke Zhu Ding is also like this.
Of course, Wu Yong's abilities are vastly different from Zhuge Liang's, but it can be seen from this that he admires Zhuge Liang.
Today I met Lu Su, who was closely related to Zhuge Liang. Although his current official position was still higher than that of Zhuge Liang, he did not dare to show any slights.
With Lu Su's reputation and ability, as long as he doesn't die, he will become an important minister in the court sooner or later. In turn, he became his superior.
It is with this kind of awareness that Wu Yong answers all questions.
Otherwise, the matter of Yu Ziqi's defection and enthronement ceremony was an important matter, and he could not reveal it casually.
"Yu Ziqi?"
"It's him?"
Lu Su, Gu Yong, and Sun Quan, who had always been a little distracted, subconsciously looked at this name. In addition to being one of the five tiger generals of the Western Chu Army, Yu Ziqi was also Yu Ji's brother.
"Prince Huai really has the aura of a king, and the overlord general is now willing to serve Prince Huai..."
Lu Su sighed.
At this time, Sun Quan's complexion seemed to have improved a lot after knowing the identity of the other party. His eyes began to glow.
Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong, who knew Sun Quan relatively well, saw this and understood.
No matter how you say it, Sun Quan used to be a prince.
For the sake of hegemony, he was able to give up his self-esteem and surrender to Cao Wei. He was called the King of Wei and Wu without changing his expression.
But at this time, hegemony has become a thing of the past. Since there is no hope of achieving hegemony, one's own face must be taken seriously.
Because now, Sun Quan only has a face left and nothing else.
The concubine of King Huai is Da Qiao, and his concubine is Xiao Qiao... Everyone after the Three Kingdoms period knows about the relationship between Da Qiao and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
There is also Bu Lianshi, who was brought into the harem by Wang Jing, and historically was his concubine and queen of Sun Quan!
Now, he, Sun Quan, was defeated and surrendered, and had to survive under the hands of King Huai... When he came to Yangzhou, whenever he felt other people's eyes, he would have the illusion of being ridiculed.
This misunderstanding made him feel very bad, and was also the main reason why Shen Si was absent.
Now he is in a better mood. Just seeing the brothers and sisters Yu Ziqi... Even the women of Overlord Xiang Yu have become the playthings in the hands of King Huai. With Overlord Xiang Yu in front, Sun Quan's pressure will not be so great.
As for Yu Ji not entering the palace yet, she will become the concubine of King Huai... it will be a matter of time anyway.
Sun Quan would never believe that King Huai could resist his desire and give up the beautiful woman who was within his reach.
His emotional changes could not be hidden from Gu Yong and Zhang Zhao.
"In addition to General Yu Ziqi, many people have come to seek refuge recently. Many of their names are very familiar to me..."
Wu Yong followed with a smile. But he just said this, and said no more after seeing Sun Quan.
Lu Su was suddenly curious, but Wu Yong didn't say anything, and he didn't ask further questions.
…
Return to Yan Palace.
With a smile on his face, Wang Jing felt extremely excited when he looked at the list sent by Gao Xi and the Ministry of Rites.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, now that Yangzhou has so many talented people, our power has greatly increased..."
Gao Xi smiled and congratulated from the side.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that there would be so many great talents coming to participate this time. I'm really happy!"
Wang Jing did not hide his emotions at this time.
He could wake up laughing in the middle of the night because he saw the names on the list.
Needless to say, Yu Ziqi, Zhuge Jin and his son, Xie Xuan had already joined the court. This time, it was mainly a few important people who defected to Wang Jing together with Tan Daoji.
"Wei Rui, a genius of heaven and the number one general in Nanliang! Finally appeared!"
"There are also Lu Xun, Lu Kang, Lu Kang..."
"There is also Zhang Juzheng, who is known as the true prime minister of the Ming Dynasty..."
Wang Jing looked at the names on the list and couldn't put them down. I watched it several times in a row and my emotions never calmed down.
Gao Xi could also understand the king's excitement.
Because the people who came to seek refuge this time were all great talents in history!
Wei Rui needs no introduction. Before he showed up, he was regarded as a leader by many civil and military officials from the Nanliang clan.
A general and a prime minister, with both civil and military skills, Wei Rui was able to command hundreds of thousands of troops and commanded with determination. Yuan Ying and Yang Dayan were easily defeated by him, creating a great victory for Zhongli. Therefore, he was called "Wei Hu" by the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
His potential and abilities are definitely that of a ninth-level heavenly figure.
Lu Xun and Lu Kang in the back...are the pillars of Soochow. Whether it is Lu Xun's Yiling victory or Lu Kang's Xiling victory, they are enough to prove the importance of these two people to Soochow.
In the late period of Soochow, Lu Kang was the only person who could stop the famous general Yang Hu of the Western Jin Dynasty. As soon as Lu Kang died, Soochow was destroyed not long after.
The last big shot.
It was Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty! This person was more important to the Ming Dynasty than Li Shanchang. Without this person, the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty would have been shortened by at least fifty years.
Wei Rui, Lu Xun, Lu Kang, Zhang Juzheng!
Four of the top civil and military talents in history came to join him, instantly increasing the strength of the Huai Army.
If we go south to attack the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Jing's confidence and chance of winning increased by 30% out of thin air.
Relying on the original team of the Huai Army, it was enough to crush the Ming Army. Now there are four top ninth levels, with the help of famous generals like Wei Rui, Lu Xun, and Lu Kang.
The crushing round suddenly turned into a sideways pushing round.
