It can be said that Tang Qingfeng has been in a state of confusion since he entered Beijing.
He can't understand the world anymore, let alone the capital.
He entered the capital in a daze, entered the palace in a daze, followed Lao Ba to the imperial garden in a daze, and sat in the pavilion in a daze.
Lao Ba smiled, looked at the confused Tang Qingfeng, and suddenly said for no reason: "I am a little envious of you."
"Ah?" Tang Qingfeng's eyes finally focused: "Ah!"
Lao Ba looked filled with emotion: "Everyone in the world knows that I was born in the army back then, and the world knows even more that I fought bravely in the army, killed countless enemies, gained countless gains, and made countless military achievements, but I am not in this list of achievements. His name, do you know why?"
Tang Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, but still didn't speak.
How could he not know why he was also born in the South? It was just that little trouble.
"That's why I said that I envy you. After you have made great contributions, some people asked for credit for you. They told me that they even sent people to scare the officials and threaten the military department. Who dares to take any of your credit and deny your contribution? This is Those who ask for merit for you will confront each other with swords as if they were enemies."
Tang Qingfeng's face turned a little red: "Yes...it depends on the cultivation of General Han."
As a deputy commander of the border army, and as a proud and arrogant person, it is really difficult for Tang Qingfeng to say the word "cultivation", let alone at the level of deputy commander, there is no such thing as "cultivation".
"If there had been a Han You back then who had supported me and cultivated me, think about it, I..."
After a pause, Lao Ba stopped talking.
Tang Qingfeng was a fool, and he said stupidly: "Your Majesty will definitely become the commander in charge of the armies of the four directions."
"Wrong, I will definitely be able to win the great treasure as soon as possible."
Tang Qingfeng: "..."
This was a sign of his intentions. Lao Ba wanted Tang Qingfeng to know what kind of person he was. The throne was not something he was forced to rebel after suffering all kinds of injustices, but that he had had this "ambition" for a long time.
In the past, Lao Ba did not dare to say this. Now there are three provinces in the court. East, South, West and North, except for Donghai, other places are considered stable. Now Lao Ba dares to say such things. After all, if he really makes achievements in the future , after becoming a wise king, it is impossible to say that he was forced to become an emperor.
This is similar to successful people. When they are successful, they start talking about how ambitious they were in the past. If they are unsuccessful, they will easily be laughed at.
"Because I can't get used to this world, I can't get used to the way the world is, and I can't get used to it, so I have to take action and change it. If I want to change this world, the only way is to sit on the dragon chair and become the Nine-Five Supreme."
After taking a sip of tea, Lao Ba continued: "However, I still think of things too easily. Even if I become the Ninth Five Supreme Being, there are still some things that cannot be changed and are beyond my reach, just like..."
Tang Qingfeng's IQ finally reached the high ground: "East China Sea."
"Yes, when prosperity does not come, there will be troubled times. In troubled times, a place needs good generals, strong soldiers, and warriors. If you cannot break it, you cannot establish it. There are no warriors, no warriors, and no good generals in the East China Sea. The boat commander is in name only. I need you to go. Go and guard the East China Sea for me, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I need you to let the captain of the boat master find countless warriors and countless warriors for me."
Tang Qingfeng was still his honest character: "But the last general is not good at naval warfare."
"I know, I ask you, are you good at fighting in the mountains and forests?"
Tang Qingfeng was stunned for a moment. Isn't this nonsense? He was not good at leading the southern army out of the border and into the forest to kill those indifferent alien tribes. How could the emperor not know? Didn't the imperial court send someone to verify? Have you achieved military success?
Lao Ba's smile grew stronger: "As far as I know, before the princes of Qin, Chu, and Yan came out, you had never led an army out to fight, yes or no."
"yes."
"Qi Qi strange, neither passed the level, why is it frequently reported?
Tang Qingfeng suddenly realized what Lao Ba meant.
If he is not good at naval combat, then when someone asked him a few months ago if he was good at jungle combat, he would also answer that he was not good at it.
"Therefore, in the battle of good men, there are no miraculous victories, no reputation for wisdom, and no feats of bravery. Although you served as deputy commander in Nanguan without any military exploits, you managed the three cities of Nanguan in an orderly manner, with the army and the people working together. If you are like those generals in Beiguan, I usually think about going out to fight every day, but I don't trust you to give you a big responsibility. Regarding the naval battle, Han You and I have already discussed it. The reason for asking you to be the commander-in-chief of the navy is not to build ships and go to sea to fight, but to Reorganize the naval division first, this will not happen overnight. After you have completed rebuilding the naval division, you will be proficient in naval warfare."
Lao Ba was a smart man. He could see that Tang Qingfeng was somewhat resistant and seemed to be extremely hesitant about being the commander-in-chief of the navy.
It was precisely because of Tang Qingfeng's hesitation and resistance that Lao Ba admired him even more.
On Thursday, four commanders, commanding an army, how majestic and majestic it is, how glorious their ancestors are and their names are spread all over the world. Such a big opportunity was placed in front of them, but they did not immediately turn red-eyed and scream, which is enough to prove that Tang Qingfeng has a maturity and stability that does not match his age. .
"I have made up my mind. I summoned you to the capital because of Han You's recommendation. Now that I have met you, I know that Han You will not miss you as always. I am extremely satisfied with you. This matter has been decided. When will we set off for the East China Sea? You and Han You can just discuss it on your own."
The emperor is the emperor, and he will not allow anyone except Han You to reject him. After saying this, he nodded to Wenwu. The matter was considered over, and Eunuch Suan asked the young eunuchs to serve the dishes.
"The last general..."
Having said this, Tang Qingfeng finally made up his mind: "I will live up to my destiny."
Tang Qingfeng also knew more or less about the things on the East China Sea. He knew that the place was in chaos. He originally wanted to make a contribution outside Nanguan, but now he was going to the East China Sea to do something he was not good at. Instead, Xiao Tang asked Xiao Tang to do something he was not good at. The classmates' hearts gradually became heated.
Life is like this. Opportunities and challenges coexist. I am afraid that I will not be able to seize the opportunities and that I will not be able to take the challenges I want.
There were not many dishes, but they were very exquisite. It was rare for Lao Ba to have a few sips of wine before sunset. He did not talk about the East China Sea, but only about the affairs of Nanguan. Tang Qingfeng gradually relaxed and talked about military affairs, people's livelihood, support camps, the situation outside the customs, etc. Etc., all have extremely unique insights.
After all, Xiao Tang is a professional. The more he talks and chats, the more satisfied he becomes.
Compared with battle formation matters, Tang Qingfeng is more like a talent in logistics, especially about the situation, needs and values of the military. Every sentence he speaks is to the point. It is difficult for people to imagine that this is a person who comes from a noble family. He is a son of an aristocratic family who has hardly suffered much since childhood.
Tang Qingfeng, who was completely relaxed, did not regard Lao Ba as an emperor, but as a general. He expressed his opinion that the key to war is nothing more than two things, military morale, and money and food. Money, food and military morale can be regarded as one thing. If the army has adequate food and clothing and receives excellent treatment, the morale of the army will naturally be at its peak. The morale of the army will be high, and half of the battle will be won before the battle begins.
Lao Ba nodded repeatedly, and even Wen and Wu agreed.
Looking at Tang Qingfeng who was talking eloquently, Lao Ba suddenly saw his own shadow in the former, the shadow from many years ago.
Both became famous at a young age, both were familiar with the art of war since childhood, and both had great ambitions. The only difference was that one of them received the greatest attention and care in the family, while the other received the greatest indifference and abandonment.
"I'll give you a toast."
Lao Ba personally poured a glass of wine for Tang Qingfeng. The latter was flattered and a little at a loss for a moment. Both Wen Wu and Lao Ba smiled. This is how the military should be. It is enough to have no distracting thoughts.
