Shi Heng was a little surprised after hearing Zhu Jianshen's words. He knew in his heart how difficult it was for a young and mature monarch to say such words, and a warm current came to his heart.
But then I thought something was wrong, and Shi Heng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, do you really think Wei Chen can regain Annan in five years?"
At this time, Shi Heng's voice was trembling. Of course, this trembling was mixed with some emotion, but it was more of fear.
To tell His Majesty the Emperor that he would be safe in South China for five years was because of his ambition and lofty aspirations. It could also be said that he was arrogant and arrogant at the same time. ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz
These days, in the capital, studying the military strategies left by King Zhang Fu, and chatting with many generals about the topography of Annan, Shi Heng's confidence has decreased a lot. It's not that he thinks he can't win, but he knows that if he wants to get stuck, How difficult it is to focus on winning.
He also knew in his heart that if things went well and the main force of the enemy army was wiped out, the rebellion could be declared suppressed in two or three years, and the next thing would be to suppress it. But if it happened, everyone would start playing hide-and-seek, and five I was a little nervous in the new year.
If His Majesty is serious about giving Shi Heng some time in the palace, and Shi Heng has not completed it within five years, it will be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor.
I was thinking that after today's performance, I would go back and talk a little bit more, and don't set the time so rigidly.
But who knew that His Majesty the Emperor actually remembered his "bold words" of regaining Annan in five years, and believed it very much.
Zhu Jianshen felt somewhat relieved when he heard Shi Heng's tone.
Although Shi Heng is arrogant, he is also an emotional person. He can be so moved by just one sentence.
"Of course, as an official in the court, Wuyang Marquis may be worse than Xu Youzhen, but if he is leading troops in war, he is one of the best in my heart. Doesn't Liaodong prove it? After Annan was liberated in five years, Wuyang Marquis was determined It can be done.”
After hearing this, Shi Heng sighed, then gritted his teeth and fought hard.
"Your Majesty, military affairs are unpredictable. If everything goes well, Annan will be taken back within two years. But if there are some setbacks, then..."
Zhu Jianshen looked at Shi Heng's hesitation and understood in his heart what he was thinking. Of course he knew Shi Heng's worries, and he was also a little strange in his heart. It seemed that bringing up the old incident of Yang He's defeat still gave Shi Heng a clear understanding of himself. I know you.
However, at this juncture, Zhu Jianshen did not want to put too much pressure and psychological burden on Shi Heng. He chuckled and said, "I know Wu Yanghou's unspeakable secrets. In five years, only Wu Yanghou and I will know." It won’t be spread.”
Shi Heng was relieved when he heard Zhu Jianshen's promise to him.
Then the relaxed look on Zhu Jianshen's face disappeared, replaced by solemnity.
He looked at Shi Heng and said: "Annan has been the territory of our Ming Dynasty since ancient times. It's just some conspirators who tried to split the country and led to the current situation. I know that once the war started, there were many uncertainties. Sex may be won from the beginning to the end, or it may be lost from the beginning, but restoring the foundation of our ancestors is what I have in mind, and it is also a way to comfort the loyal soldiers who have bloodied Annan."
"Marquis Wuyang, I will make it clear to you today. No matter which two starts, you must get Annan back for me. Even if it is reduced to ruins, the Ming Dynasty will still want it."
"Let the people of Annan become the people of the Ming Dynasty. This is the historical responsibility I cannot shirk for you. But in other words, if they really don't want to be the people of the Ming Dynasty, let them disappear in the land of the Ming Dynasty, as if they have never appeared. Live the same life.”
"You have always done a good job in this kind of thing. I also hope that you can do better and better in Annan."
After hearing this, Shi Heng quickly nodded in agreement, but he always felt strange in his heart. He was able to massacre the Barbarian Jurchens and Jianzhou Jurchens in Liaoping Prefecture, and he was able to find his own happiness in this massacre.
But for some unknown reason, when he heard these words from His Majesty the Emperor, he still felt a little scared.
This is a tacit consent to do anything in Annan.
And Shi Heng could also get a message from Zhu Jianshende's words. His Majesty the Emperor was determined to win Annan. Even after the war ended, Annan's gates would not be left alive, but he would still take them down.
"Your Majesty, when I go to Annan, can I choose my own deputy general?" Shi Heng also made a request of his own in the Palace of Qianqing.
After a pause, Zhu Jianshen said, "Tell me about the candidate first."
"Wang Tong, the former commander-in-chief of Jiaozhi, was the deputy, and the former guerrillas in various parts of Jiaozhi were partial."
After Zhu Jianshen paused for a while, he slowly said: "Wang Tong is a defeated general. Among the generals from various places in the original Jiaozhi territory, the youngest is probably fifty years old. Can they do it?"
Zhu Jianshen still wanted to recruit young generals.
Although Annan is a small country with an incomplete political system, in a sense, this is also a battle to destroy the country, and young people can still learn something from it.
Annan is just the beginning. There are many small countries nearby. With the same mountainous and forested landforms, and if there are enough young generals, the Ming Dynasty can completely digest Annan while expanding its influence in the surrounding small countries, gradually encroaching, and then the entire peninsula. They have all become their own military defense zones.
Shi Heng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, they are all familiar with the topography of Jiaozhi. What's more, many years in prison have made the shame of Jiaozhi's defeat deeply rooted in their bones. This time, they will definitely do what Han Shangshu said. Know your shame and then be brave. What's more, all decisions are made by humble ministers. If they show the slightest hint of uselessness, the minister will immediately dismiss them and abandon them."
Zhu Jianshen thought for a moment and then took a step back.
"I agree with you, but they are ultimately humiliating the country by losing their masters. If they are used on a large scale, I am still a little worried, so I will let them go with the army and perform meritorious service. If they have meritorious service, they can be appointed to military positions again."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing."
"explain."
"Yesterday, I met Wei Guogong for a drink by chance. After that, Wei Guogong wanted the young Duke Xu Yan to come to our military tent to obey orders and go to Yunnan."
This is not what Wei Guogong said after drinking. This is what Wei Guogong said in the future. Let Xu Yan follow Shi Heng and learn a lot. It can be compared with paper debates and troop rankings in the school field. He will make progress faster. Is he a man who can lead troops in war? Test it out.
After hearing this, Zhu Jianshen said with a smile: "Since the Duke of Wei has this idea, then I will agree with him and make him a sixth-rank captain of the army, and he will obey orders."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Outside the palace gate, Xu Youzhen was waiting.
The wait was impatient, he had been here for half an hour, and he should have finished saying everything.
Just when Xu Youzhen was feeling itchy and unbearable, Shi Heng walked out of the Qianqing Palace with a proud and slightly relaxed look on his face.
When Shi Heng saw Xu Youzhen, he immediately changed his face to a serious one.
And Xu Youzhen also showed an amiable smile towards Shi Heng, and said with cupped hands: "Wu Yanghou, when will you set off to Tumu, Yanghe, and see the road you have traveled and the defeats you have suffered."
Shi Heng was a little dazed.
What Xu Youzhen said is just like slapping someone in the face, scolding someone and exposing their shortcomings. This, how come there is no sense of morality in the world.
Seeing Xu Youzhen looking so mean and listening to what he said, he really wanted to punch him and let him know how many eyes Lord Shi had.
However, this was outside the gate of Qianqing Palace. Shi Heng still endured it, snorted at Xu Youzhen, and walked straight forward.
Shi Heng didn't want to say anything more to Xu Youzhen, but Xu Youzhen was unwilling to give up the opportunity to ridicule Shi Heng.
When the two of them passed by each other, Xu Youzhen turned around and continued: "It's a pity. In a few days, I will go to Jiangnan to serve His Majesty. I can't delay even a moment, otherwise I will definitely give Wu Yang Houjian Okay, well, look at my memory. Marquis Wuyang has a very good relationship with Wei Guogong, Ding Guogong, and the British public servants. How can he be appointed to the position of this official in his turn?"
When Shi Heng heard this, he paused slightly, but still didn't say a word, and then walked forward.
Tolerate.
To endure what ordinary people cannot endure, to endure what ordinary people cannot bear, is great wisdom, and it is also the basic condition for achieving great things.
When he pacifies Annan and reaches the pinnacle of his achievements, he will definitely teach Xu Youzhen an unforgettable lesson, letting him know that flowers never last a hundred days and people never last a thousand days. Riding a mule and looking at the ledger, we will see... …
Of course, this is also because the defeat of Yang He was brought up again at the court meeting, which caught Shi Heng off guard. Otherwise, according to his past temper, if Xu Youzhen provoked him like this, he would have scolded her directly even if he had restrained himself and did not take action. …
After scolding Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen was satisfied. He turned around and saw Zhu Jianshen standing in front of the door, with Zhang Bao standing behind him. The two of them looked at Xu Youzhen intently.
Xu Youzhen was a little flustered: "When did your Majesty come out?"
"I came out when Xu Du Yushi said the first sentence, but Xu Du Yushi's attention was all on Wu Yanghou and he didn't notice me."
