Chapter 60: Fengtian Advocating Righteousness, Civil and Military Marshal
There was silence in the meeting hall of Chuang Wang Xingyuan in Zhougong Temple. Everyone's eyes were focused on Chuang Wang Li Zicheng, waiting for his decision.
King Chuang's face was still full of smiles, but he silently glanced at the people in the meeting hall. Through this meeting, he knew everyone's thoughts and saw everyone's loyalty to him. In his heart,
I feel happy and enjoy this feeling even more.
After a while, he stopped his smile and said to everyone: "Just now Xin Sizhong sent an urgent report from Xinye, saying that there was a rumor in Xiangyang City that Zhang Xianzhong defeated the general in Kaixian, Sichuan, and was as fierce as a tiger.
, had already rushed out of Sichuan without any hindrance, and Yang Sichang was leading his army in hot pursuit.
I think more than 90% of this news is reliable. We all know how much Zhang Xianzhong can accomplish after leaving Sichuan, and how much Yang Sichang can accomplish.
Mr. Niu and the military advisor are right. We have our own strategy for using troops, so we just have to follow our strategy. As the old saying goes, 'take advantage of convenience', and we really shouldn't miss good opportunities."
When he said this, he paused for a moment, as if he was still thinking seriously.
When the group of young generals in the meeting hall heard the words "You should not miss this good opportunity," they all thought that Li Zicheng was going to announce the founding of the country and become king, and they all stared at him intently.
Suddenly, Chuang King Li Zicheng coughed lightly, and under the gaze of everyone, he continued: "Today, Mr. Niu, Song Military Advisor, and all the generals put forward suggestions one after another out of their sincere support for me.
They all call themselves kings.
I have also thought about it carefully, and my current might and virtue are not enough to convince others. It is too early to become king at this time, which will not only be useless, but may also be harmful.
Moreover, today's Wan and Luo prefectures and counties are also in dilapidated condition, with hungry people everywhere. In some prefectures and counties, people are eating people, and no human beings can be seen for dozens of miles.
Under such circumstances, it is not appropriate to immediately establish a capital and claim the title of king, so I will never agree to the matter of establishing a capital and proclaiming the king. From now on, please refrain from discussing it!"
There was silence in the meeting hall. Many young generals were disappointed and surprised. Only the mature and prudent generals nodded slightly.
Niu Jinxing looked at Song Xiance and saw that the other important generals in the Chuang army had no intention of persuading Li Zicheng to become king, so he stood up and said, "King Chuang is actually following destiny by establishing his capital as king today."
, This is a matter that responds to the people's sentiments, but since King Chuang is so humble, it is better to postpone the discussion on the matter of proclaiming the king.
But before the ancients called themselves kings and emperors, they also called them generals and generals, and they were all formal titles. I foolishly thought that today, King Chuang could be called generals first so that he could command the heroes.
, but a few more words should be added to the marshal as a good title.
I wonder if Prince Chuang is willing to accept this proposal from the students?"
After hearing what Niu Jinxing said, King Chuang turned to the generals with a smile and asked, "What do you think?"
All the generals unanimously supported Li Zicheng's official title of Grand Marshal because of Wang Jian's resignation.
Seeing that everyone agreed unanimously, Li Zicheng turned around and asked Niu Jinxing what words should be added to "marshal".
Niu Jinxing had been ready to take a step back before, but when he saw him walking to the table, taking the pen in his hand, he deliberately pretended to meditate for a moment before writing a line of words on the paper, and then pretended again.
He took Song Xiance to think about it.
After he had done his best, he took the paper and said to Li Zicheng and the others: "The title of Generalissimo of King Chuang should be given with praise to show the support and respect of all the civil and military subordinates. This is like the title of the ministers to the emperor."
The logo is average.
Just now, the students and the military advisor deliberated together and drafted eight words of praise. Together with the three words "Generalissimo", there are eleven words in total. This is: "The Divine Civil and Military Generalissimo who advocates righteousness from heaven".
If you feel that the praise is not enough, students can add a few more words."
All the generals in the meeting hall praised Niu Jinxing one after another. They all said that the words he came up with for King Chuang were very good. Some people even began to think about what words they could add.
However, Li Zicheng directly asked for the paper from Niu Jinxing's hand. He crossed out the word "sacred" with his pen, looked up at everyone and said: "I am immoral and incompetent. I really can't deserve this good name, but I don't deserve it either."
Well, I completely failed everyone's sincerity, so I decided to use the title of "Civil and Military Marshal Fengtian Advocates Righteousness".
However, PepsiCo is currently very busy and will go to war soon, so it is not necessary to announce this new title to the entire army for the time being. After this period of time, when the military situation is relaxed, we will announce to the entire army that we will start using this title, and we will also establish some new ones.
The military is in place.
As for whether it should be based on Wan and Luo, although everyone expressed their opinions today, there was no final decision through discussion, and I also have some ideas of my own, so I will put them aside for the time being, so there is no need to make a hasty decision today."
The matter of giving Li Zicheng the honorary title was thus confirmed, and then everyone discussed other matters.
As for the direction of the next attack, because it was confidential, King Chuang did not give any special instructions for the time being. He just asked everyone to be prepared and on standby at any time when they return.
…………
On December 18th, at Chen Shi, Zhang Cheng was still too lazy to get up on the bed, listening to the cold wind whizzing by the window, his hands curled up in the silky soft quilt around Yang Liying's slim waist, and his heart was filled with everything.
Reluctant to give up.
"Husband, I just want to go into battle with you."
It turned out that Yang Liying had also woken up a long time ago. He was lying next to Zhang Cheng, recalling the madness and sweetness of last night. She let his big hands roam around freely, and her face was filled with happiness and enjoyment.
Zhang Cheng's hands were stroking tenderly without stopping, but he said: "Limei, it's not appropriate for you to go to war with the army before you are married. Why don't you stay in Yangjialou temporarily, serve your parents, and wait for our Henan province to suppress them?"
After the banditry is over, how about I pick you up and take you back to the Xuan Mansion together?"
Yang Liying twisted her body, escaped from Zhang Cheng's big hand, and said slightly angrily: "It's not good. Gao Guiying, the wife of the intruder, will accompany the army to fight in all directions. Mr. Kuang also said that Shizhu Qin Liangyu also led the army to fight, why should I stay?
In the Yang family building!"
This was also quite difficult for Zhang Cheng to do. Since ancient times, no general had to bring his female family members with him when leading an army. Some, like Temujin, did so. Not only did they bring with them, but they also surrendered countless beauties along the way.
"I was born to be a good wife to people like Hua Mulan, Mu Guiying, and Liang Hongyu. If my husband doesn't take me to fight, I will lead the young men of the Yang family to fight against the bandits."
Yang Liying huddled in the soft quilt and spoke quietly.
Zhang Cheng knew that she was stubborn and would do whatever she said. Besides, marrying a wife just before the battle was enough to impeach the officials, so he was afraid of adding another one!
Immediately he said to her: "Okay. If Li Mei is in such a mood, she will follow my husband and I to fight against the bandits. This will become a good story for him that can be passed down through the ages!"
