Bang... The Yonghe Marquis' son slammed the table and stood up: "Since you all like to quarrel and fight, why don't we just make room for you."
A group of guerrilla generals and General Ao said in unison: "You are so brave."
"You dare?" The Yonghe Marquis's son sneered, "I don't think you dare. If you don't like sitting here, and don't like this position, you can just hand in your resignation. I won't force you."
"You dare not do that." A team of guerrilla generals and General Ao lowered their heads, their faces turned pale, and they were frightened.
Although the prince is usually gentle and easy to talk to, can a man who went to the battlefield at the age of twelve be soft-hearted
The Prince of Yonghe looked at them and let them stand there. He turned to Qin Fang and said, "Go on, how do you break the whole into pieces?"
Qin Fang said, "Yes." He felt a little sorry for General Ao, knowing that General Ao had fought against a group of guerrilla generals because of him. He looked at General Ao and saw that General Ao winked at him. He didn't beg for mercy and continued what he had just said, "What I mean is that no matter whether they surrender sincerely or pretend to surrender, they can become the citizens of our Qi country. Then, after they become the citizens of Qi country, they will be divided into small groups, that is, they will be settled in different places. For example, if they have a thousand people, then they will be split up, with each team of one hundred people settled in villages under different county towns, and then special personnel will be sent to live with them. In this way, there will be a double effect. There will be special personnel to monitor them, and there will also be county government to monitor them.
Moreover, if they are truly surrendering, they will not care about our settlement method. If they are pretending to surrender, then there is nothing we can do even if they care. More importantly, if we disperse them like this, they will not be able to play much tricks. "
The Prince of Yonghe applauded and said, "What a good way to break the whole into parts. This is a very good method. One hundred people against a county of people, no matter how powerful they are, they can't do anything. Qin Fang, you are right."
Qin Fang said modestly, "Your Highness, thank you for the compliment."
The Prince of Yonghe did not say much: "Please sit down. What about the others? Do you have any opinions?"
Then, everyone started discussing Qin Fang's proposal of breaking the whole into parts.
The matter of the barbarian's surrender was discussed for two days. The prince of Yonghe Marquis recorded everyone's opinions, and after discussing with Yonghe Marquis, he submitted a memorial to the court. As for the outcome, it depends on the court's arrangement.
Capital
The memorial from Yonghe Marquis has now arrived at the imperial desk. In fact, before this memorial arrived at the imperial desk, the emperor already knew that some tribes among the barbarians wanted to surrender. Do you think the emperor sent the sons of noble families just to train in the military camp or arrange positions? In fact, he secretly arranged people to monitor them.
The emperor was 27 years old this year. He was considered young among the emperors who succeeded in seizing the throne. If it weren't for the incident with Princess Yuan, he would not have thought of seizing the throne, but the fact that his beloved woman and legitimate son were in the harem made him start planning to seize the throne.
It must be said that if the Wei family and the Yang family had not formed an alliance and the Wei family had not known the Yang family's plan, his bid for the throne would not have been so successful so quickly. One thing is that the late emperor's guilt towards him was one of the factors that led to his success in taking power.
The emperor opened the memorial from the Marquis of Yonghe. The memorial was thick and the emperor read it for a long time. In particular, the memorial recorded the views of the generals in the military camp on the surrender. After reading it, the emperor narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "Come here."
"Your Majesty?"
Emperor: "Quickly summon Wei Hong, Hu Youding and Du Ke to the palace." These three are his confidants.
"yes."
Quickly, Wei Hong, Hu Youding and Du Ke entered the palace.
After they paid their respects, the emperor showed them the memorial from the Marquis of Yonghe and asked, "What do you think?"
The three of them read the memorial together. After reading it, Hu Youding said, "The method of breaking the whole into parts proposed in this memorial is quite good."
Du Ke followed up and said, "That's right. In this case..." He paused, "In this case, this plan was proposed by the people on the side of Yonghe Hou, so the people responsible for monitoring should be selected from the people around Yonghe Hou. The people selected cannot be ordinary people. In my humble opinion, we have to start with the captain of a thousand men. Otherwise, soldiers without ranks are not qualified to take on this important task."
Wei Hong said: "According to Brother Du's idea, when those thousand captains are sent to monitor the barbarians, the position of thousand captain will be vacant, and then you can..." Wei Hong didn't say the rest of the words, but everyone knew what he meant.
In fact, the emperor had this intention. He arranged for the young man from the noble family to go there for this purpose. Now that Yonghe Hou has given him such a good opportunity, he can make good use of it. The emperor quickly made a decision: "In this case, let Du Qing arrange this matter, and you should go to Yongzhou as soon as possible."
Du Ke: “Yes.”
Yongzhou, Yonghe Marquis Mansion.
Marquis Yonghe called the prince to his study.
The prince of Yonghe was summoned just after returning from the military camp. He was also wondering, "Father is calling his son so urgently, but what happened?"
Yonghe Hou said: "This is the document sent by the court, take a look."
The prince of Yonghe Marquis read the court documents and said, "Du Ke? The emperor sent the Minister of War Du Ke to handle this matter? Although Du Ke is the Minister of War, everyone knows that the current Minister of War is no longer in charge of the matter. The Ministry of War is ruled by Du Ke alone. We will just have to wait until the term of the Minister of War expires."
Yonghe Hou said: "The emperor will send Du Ke to handle this matter. What do you think?"
The Prince of Yonghe thought for a moment and said, "According to common sense, the matter of some barbarian tribes surrendering does not need to be resolved by the Minister of War. My father has already written to the emperor. If the emperor agrees, we can directly bring the tribal leaders to the capital. But the emperor specially sent the Minister of War to Yongzhou, so this matter is not as simple as agreeing or not."
Yonghe Hou nodded and said, "That's what I think. You know, this military minister has always been very cunning and is known for his extraordinary means. Moreover, he is the emperor's confidant. He has made a great contribution to the emperor's success in seizing the throne. I hope he will do good things."
The Yonghe Marquis' son said, "Father, you must not be too worried. No matter what Du Ke's intention is, we are upright and have nothing to fear. Even if Du Ke wants to find fault, he won't be able to find anything."
Yonghe Hou did not say much. Although he had decided to hand over the military power and let his grandson start the literary career, he still felt uncomfortable facing this outcome. His family had been used to guarding Yongzhou for generations. To him, Yongzhou was not only the mountains and rivers of Qi State, but also the place where he grew up. He regarded Yongzhou as part of his life. But now, his life was about to be severed.
…
As soon as Qin Fang got home, he took off his thick cloak. The cloak was made of fur, which was good at blocking wind, so Yang Haiyan sewed fur inside the cloak when she was making it. It was winter now, and the wind was strong and the weather was dry and cold. Qin Fang was on his way back from his shift, and when he had to work at night, he would be much warmer with a cloak.
Qin Fang rubbed his hands together and put them on the stove to warm them.
Yang Haiyan said, "Are you cold? Drink the soup quickly to warm yourself up."
Qin Fang took the soup, which contained ginger and brown sugar. He drank the whole bowl of soup in one breath: "The military camp has been very busy these days. There are big conflicts among the barbarians. Some tribes want to surrender to the Qi Kingdom, so the prince led us to discuss the issue of the barbarians surrendering."
Yang Haiyan was stunned. This incident did happen in the original plot, but it happened several years later. At that time, Han Zhen completely solved the Barbarian Tribe, and then the Barbarian Tribe surrendered. But why is it so early now
Yang Haiyan was confused, so she asked, "We just fought at the beginning of the year, why do the barbarians suddenly want to surrender?"
Qin Fang said: "The barbarians are not doing well now. They suffered heavy losses in the battle at the beginning of the year. And we have been keeping a close eye on them over the past year. Their lives are very difficult now. If the food problem is not solved this year, I am afraid they will have a hard time next year."
In fact, there was a reason, because Qin Fang kept a close eye on the barbarian. Although Qin Fang did not mention the nun's fortune-telling incident again, it was still a thorn in his heart.
After hearing this, Yang Haiyan stopped thinking about it. Everyone's development has changed, and she can no longer think about it according to the plot of the novel. "No matter what, the court will solve this situation, and we don't need to think too much."
Qin Fang nodded.
"Madam, the food is ready." Aunt Fan's voice sounded at the right time.
Winter nights are not suitable for walking to digest food because the weather is too cold. So after dinner, Yang Haiyan would stand against the wall to digest food. Seeing her standing straight, Qin Fang would also accompany her.
The two stood there for half an hour, then went to take a bath. Bathing in winter is very comfortable, Yang Haiyan can soak for half an hour, and when the water temperature is high enough, Aunt Yu will bring in the freshly boiled hot water, and then mix it with the hot enough water inside.
After soaking, my skin became red and I lay in bed, feeling very comfortable.
Qin Fang showers very quickly, because he is on duty during the day this month, so he showers every day when he gets home, and he washes quickly when his body is less dirty.
Qin Fang rinsed himself with cold water and then dried himself. After returning to the room, he did not get into bed immediately, fearing that the moisture on his body would be transmitted to Yang Haiyan. He waited until his body was warm before getting into bed. As soon as he got into bed, he hugged the person in his arms: "Wife, it's December now." Qin Fang reminded in a calm voice. He had been waiting for more than four months since he read the book in August and waited until December. Although he had pestered his wife to try all the positions in the book, he didn't get to the last base in the end, and he felt that he was not interested enough.
Yang Haiyan pursed her lips and said nothing. She knew that this guy was counting the days. After all, they had slept together for more than a year, and he had such a great figure. As a 29-year-old woman, she was of course eager for him. However, this body was too tender, so she had to endure it.
