Chapter 310 Don't want the court to fight for food
Emperor Qianwen didn't know that Shen Ao wanted to lead troops to conquer the barbarian lands, but it was not just a whim, but he had had such an idea for a long time.
After Shen Ao learned about the news that the barbarians had handed over the marriage certificate, he began to think about how to solve this problem.
This is not the first time that barbarians want to get married.
The first time is that Concubine Yuan Guifei wanted to send the fifth princess to the barbarian land to marry her in order to vent her anger on her son, King Xiang.
The second time was when the barbarians offered to marry Daqian and form a friendship. It was the barbarian princess Oyadan who fell in love with Shen Ao, and the second barbarian prince Origi wanted to capture Shen Ao in the barbarian land. Take revenge for personal grudges.
Now there is a third episode, including Shen Ao and the fifth princess.
The first two marriages ended without any problems due to various reasons. Even this third time, we can try our best to resolve it, but what if there is a fourth time?
If it goes like this over and over again, who can guarantee that there won't be any accidents in the middle?
When things appeared in front of Shen Ao again and again, even the clay figurine had a temper and could get angry, not to mention Shen Ao. He was originally a young man, and with his youthful energy, he was really angry this time. .
In order to prevent something like this from happening in the future, Shen Ao decided to teach the barbarians a lesson and solve this problem once and for all.
It can be said that Emperor Qianwen had already been mentally prepared in this regard before asking Shen Ao for a solution. The reason why he didn't ask was because the time was not right. He also didn't want to create a feeling for the emperor that he had meddle with military power and wanted to be independent. The idea of power.
Now that it's done, now that the words have reached this point, Shen Ao feels that the time has come, so he speaks out with a majestic look. In fact, he has already prepared in his heart. As far as Shen Ao is concerned, although he My greater interest is to make more money. If this can change the living environment and conditions of the Han people, that would be a better thing.
But after all, we are not living in the later generations. Today's Daqian seems to be peaceful and prosperous. But in fact, it is full of internal and external troubles. Maybe one day the world will change drastically. Living in such an environment, if you don't have If you are strong enough, no matter how much money you make, you will only make wedding dresses for others.
It seems that the Daqian Crown Prince has not yet been found, but whether he falls into the hands of King Qing, King Xiang, or the fifth prince, I am afraid that these people will not be able to tolerate him. Instead of waiting until that day, think of a way to kill himself. Hey, if you are in a hurry, why not come up with a force now? This is also a precautionary measure.
Even if you don't use this power to do something or seize some territory, with such strength, others will not dare to underestimate you, and it is also a good thing to think more carefully when taking action against yourself.
It's just that Daqian is relatively stable now. How to get the emperor to allow himself to have an armed force under such circumstances without arousing suspicion is a science.
Now is the best time to make this request. Wouldn't it be the best thing to make the emperor mistakenly think that he was acting impulsively and achieve his goal? So, Shen Ao opened his mouth and looked angry. appearance.
Such Shen Ao fell in the eyes of Emperor Qianwen, which indeed made him not think too much, just thinking that this was a decision made by the young man in anger.
Sure enough, the emperor spoke and talked about the difficulty of leading troops, but he did not say that Shen Ao could not lead troops.
This was exactly what Shen Ao wanted. He was happy in his heart, but he still said with anger on his face, "Your Majesty, I know that I am young, but so what? Who said that young people cannot lead troops? Who can You said that young people cannot go to war? As long as your majesty allows it, I am willing to lead troops to the barbaric land, and the required soldiers, food, grass, weapons and weapons do not need to be provided by the court. If I am lucky enough to have some skills in the barbaric land, I will also I am willing to give 20% of the spoils to His Majesty."
I originally thought that Shen Ao was just joking out of anger, but when he heard that he didn't need the court's soldiers and swords for every meter, Emperor Qianwen's expression changed. He stared at Shen Ao carefully. Seeing that the other party did not mean to joke, he said cautiously, "Mr. Zhongguo, do you know that lying in front of me is the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
"Of course I know that what I said is not a joke. Even if the imperial court has many constraints, the matter will be left to the minister to handle. In this way, the imperial court does not need to use money, food, troops and horses, and other ministers will probably not say it again. What's going on?" Shen Ao asked, while also observing the changes in Emperor Qianwen's expression.
After this reminder, Emperor Qianwen did not say anything immediately, but seemed to be deep in thought.
Under the current circumstances, if Emperor Qianwen said in the court that he wanted to use troops against the barbarians, there would be a lot of opposition among the ministers. If these people were completely uncooperative and said some negative words, I am afraid that the court would If the situation is unstable, the enemy will be defeated without fighting.
But if Shen Ao is willing to contribute and does not use any power from the court, others will not be able to say anything. Speaking of which, this is a good way to solve the problem, but the question is, can Shen Ao do it? Where did he create an army capable of fighting?
Emperor Qianwen looked at Shen Ao and couldn't help but ask, "Where did the army come from?"
"Your Majesty, there are many rangers in and around Daliang City, and I would like to recruit them to form a temporary army." Shen Ao answered carefully, deliberately saying temporary army because he was afraid that Emperor Qianwen would think too much about this emperor. People's suspicions are very serious. If something cannot dispel their concerns first, then it is best not to do it.
"Ranger? How many people can they have?" Emperor Qianwen had naturally heard of the name of ranger, but in his eyes, these were just lazy people who relied on learning martial arts for a few times and then disobeyed discipline. They were pursuing freedom and causing trouble everywhere. man of.
Because these people are bold and have some strength, they often become the most difficult people to discipline. In particular, some people are unwilling to do any hard work and often take risks for money. Many cases in the Criminal Department are like this Some of them have been arrested with conclusive evidence, but some others have no evidence, or there is evidence that has not yet been caught.
By pointing at these people, can we really deal with barbarians who are good at fighting and murder without blinking an eye?
Emperor Qianwen naturally did not have much confidence. On the contrary, he was still very suspicious. When he looked at Shen Ao, he asked what was in his heart. "These rangers are not easy to control. Maybe they are young and strong, but they still bully the people." Yes, if you really go to the battlefield and face life and death, you may not be as brave as they look."
This was naturally a kind reminder. When it fell in Shen Ao's ears, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I already know this, but I believe that in the face of the great justice of the country, they will definitely know what to do."
Regardless of the great interests of the country, Shen Ao only needs to use one means, and that is money.
In line with the idea that money can make the world go round, as long as enough money is spent, these rangers will definitely be put to use, and even stimulate their potential, showing results that are jaw-dropping.
"As for the small number of people, I believe that with a small number of people, it will not be too difficult to provide logistics, and it can better reflect flexibility. I have a reputation for self-knowledge, and it is difficult to deal with the barbarians with the rangers, but let They can still do it if they have a headache. When they get scared, the matter of natural marriage will be unknown, and the barbarians who entered the land of Daqian Xinzhou will also retreat."
Shen Ao spoke with great confidence, as if he had already accomplished the thing. He saw that after Emperor Qianwen moved his mouth, he stopped saying anything sarcastic. "Okay, that's it, I'll do it right." I will accept your request. But I also have one condition. If it cannot be violated, I will return immediately. You are still young, and no one will laugh at you for this. As for the marriage, I will not allow it. A barbarian cannot bring the big man to the throne. How about it."
When the last words were spoken, Emperor Qianwen showed the domineering aura that an emperor's statue should have. Seeing Shen Ao's eyes, he couldn't help but be moved. At least the emperor still cared about his own safety.
Emperor Qianwen finally agreed to Shen Ao's request. He also knew that Shen Ao was rich and had the ability to collect enough food and salary. As for the fact that the court could get 20% of the benefits after the victory, he did not take it seriously, let alone Went to bargain.
Shen Ao left the palace, and soon the news spread from the palace to Daliang City that Duke Zhong would organize his own army to cause trouble for the barbarians.
Even Emperor Qianwen didn't expect Shen Ao to make such a decision, let alone others. When everyone received the news, their first reaction was disbelief.
The barbarians are so strong that they can be defeated easily. Even Fei Qingsong, the commander-in-chief of Xinzhou, who has 30,000 troops, can't do anything about them. What can Shen Ao, who is only seventeen years old, do? Woolen cloth?
Although they were surprised, some people secretly admired Shen Ao's courage. At least in terms of courage, they could not match him.
Of course, more people didn't take it seriously, thinking that this was just an idea given by Emperor Qianwen to Duke Zhongguo, in order to divert everyone's attention and not let everyone pay too much attention to the marriage. As for the so-called Shen Ao wanted to lead his troops to cause trouble for the barbarians, but in the end it was just a show.
Not long after Shen Ao returned to the Zhongguo Palace, his uncle Zhongcheng Hou Shen Yunyi came to the door. He looked anxious. The moment he saw Shen Ao, he couldn't help but asked, "Ao'er, what's going on? Is it true or false?”
"Haha, of course it's true. Uncle, come and sit down and tell me, don't be anxious." Shen Ao knew that this was a sign of his uncle's concern for him, so he smiled and helped his shoulders and sat down.
"How can you not be anxious? Do you know that fighting is not a child's play. If you don't get it right, you will be in danger of losing your life. Besides, this time the court does not have any assistance. How can you do it alone? Why don't you go to the palace? , how about asking your Majesty to send some silver-armored guards to accompany you under the command of your uncle?" Shen Yunyi said with an anxious look on his face and a concerned tone on his face.
