Chapter five hundred and forty seventh daydreaming
The person who received Lu Tong was Chang Shi Han Ce. This was also telling him that with your current status and the things you have done, you will not be able to see King Ji. Not only that, you will not be able to see even Zhizhou. You can see Chang Shi.
Shi has done a lot to give you the Lu family face.
Lu Tong is also a wonderful person, and he is also aware of his current situation. When he met Han Ce, he kept his attitude very low, which made the two parties have a happy conversation. In the end, Lu Tong left the Zhizhou Mansion with a smile, and Han Ce
For this reason, he also sent the other party out of the house, showing the appearance of an old friend to outsiders.
After seeing off Lu Tong, Han Ce turned around and returned to Zhizhou Mansion, where he met Ji Wang Tang Ao and Zhizhou Zeng Tong who were already waiting here. "Your Highness, Lu Tong donated five million taels of military expenses to us, and said that as long as
As the Jizhou Army becomes stronger, businessmen like them will have a better environment to develop. At the same time, he also decided to deposit 20 million in silver into Jizhou Bank to show his support for His Highness."
As soon as he entered the main hall, Han Ce told Lu Tong's decisions with a smile. After listening to Tang Ao's ears, he nodded with satisfaction. This Lu Tong was still a sensible person. Even so, he
Don't argue with him about the past for now. But if this person dares to have second thoughts in the future, he doesn't mind settling old and new accounts together.
Of course, sparing Lu Tong also has a greater benefit, which is to show all the powerful people in the world that Tang Ao does not dislike the powerful people. As long as everyone can cooperate wholeheartedly, he will also allow the powerful people to exist.
As Lu Tong bowed his head, the matter was spread intentionally in the Zhizhou Prefecture and had a great influence among the powerful. After everyone understood King Ji's thoughts, many powerful people also lowered their heads one after another.
They also quickly gained the friendship of King Ji. Of course, there were still some powerful people who were unwilling to bow their heads and sold their properties and left for other places.
For such people, Tang Ao adopts a policy of indifference, neither blocking nor comforting them. Because for such people, even if they are forced to stay, they may not really be of the same mind as him.
Even so, what's the use of keeping him? Isn't this just asking for trouble?
A group of powerful people have gone away, leaving the majority. The situation in Jizhou City has become more stable and has entered into rapid development. But it seems that some people don't want to see Jizhou develop, or don't want to see Tang Ao stop.
, the Di people's envoy entered Jicheng and arrived at the Zhizhou Prefecture.
Gongsun Guang, as a descendant of the Gongsun family, a large family among the Di people, came to Jicheng this time with a domineering attitude.
With the strength of the Di people, they naturally did not dare to take the initiative to cause trouble with Daqian. All they could do was thieves and threshed grain and grass on the border. After all, they were no match for Daqian in terms of population and economy.
But this time they faced only Jizhou and a Jiwang, which made the Di people full of self-confidence. As an envoy, Gongsun Guang had his nose in the sky when he entered the Zhizhou Mansion, and he did not look at anyone.
It's all in his eyes.
Zeng Tong, the governor of the state, met the other party in person, which can be said to have given him enough face. Jizhou is now developing, and if possible, it is not the time to start a war with the Di people.
"Let him go, apologize, compensate." Gongsun Guang said these six words rudely after seeing Zeng Tong.
Zeng Tong also responded with four big words without politeness - daydreaming!
"What? Do you, King Ji, really want to be enemies with Dadi? Let me tell you, this time I am here with friendship. If you give up this opportunity, be prepared to welcome the arrival of our Di army." Gongsun
Guang continued to shout, and his shouts could be heard even from a distance.
"Haha." Zeng Tong sneered in response, and then said as Tang Ao said: "We Jizhou Army love peace, but we are not afraid of war. If you Di people really want to threaten with force, then let it go.
Just come here, even if our Jizhou army fights to the death, we will still have to tear off a piece of flesh for you Di people."
"Okay, great, let's just wait and see." He never thought that the officials in Jizhou would have such a tough attitude. Gongsun Guang threw these words angrily and turned around to leave.
Gongsun Guang left Jicheng, but did not return to Beidi. Instead, he went to Liaozhou. It seemed that he should have gone to Daliang City to complain.
Zeng Tong changed his stoic look and came to the backyard to see Tang Ao and said, "Your Highness, the Di people's envoy has left and is heading towards Kyoto."
"Yeah." Tang Ao nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Your Highness..." Zeng Tong looked like he was hesitating to speak.
"What's wrong? Just say what you have to say." Tang Aoyou raised his head and looked at Zeng Tong with a relaxed expression and even a smile on his face.
"Your Highness, if Ambassador Di finds the emperor, what will happen if the emperor orders us to release him?" Zeng Tong asked what he wanted to ask the most. After all, he had lived in Daliang City for so many years and was the former prince's teacher.
Emperor Qianwen also had dealings with him. His intuition told him that if Envoy Di found the emperor, Emperor Qianwen would probably compromise, and the imperial edict would come next.
"Haha." There was no hint of nervousness on Tang Ao's face. Instead, he said with a smile: "What's the matter? Didn't Zeng Zhizhou hear a saying that military orders should not be given when a general is away?"
"Ah!" Seeing that Tang Ao was about to disobey the imperial edict, Zeng Tong didn't know what to say. Tang Ao waved his hands indifferently, "Zeng Zhizhou, put your heart in your stomach. Between the two countries
In the end, time still depends on our strength. As long as we can defeat Di Bing head-on, Emperor Father will not really blame us."
Tang Ao said this very confidently, and then he persuaded Zeng Tong to leave. Then he left the Zhizhou Mansion and headed for the military camp. Just in case, and to have enough confidence to face the provocations of others
, Tang Ao decided to continue to expand the size of the army.
Today, among the Jizhou Army, there are only one thousand Shanshan Guards, two thousand Fourth Army, two thousand Guiyi Army and one thousand Tiger Soldiers that can be called elite. In addition, there are 20,000 reserve troops. If it is a peaceful era,
These people are enough. But once a war breaks out, it will obviously not be enough, and military expansion will become necessary.
Tang Ao came to the military camp, summoned the generals, and came up with his own army expansion plan, which made all the generals very happy. I wonder, which general would dislike the large number of troops he brought?
According to Tang Ao's latest army expansion plan, the Shanshan Guard has been upgraded from one thousand men and one battalion to three thousand men and three battalions; the Fourth Army has been upgraded from its original two battalions of two thousand men to five battalions and five thousand men;
The first army also expanded from 2,000 to 5,000 men; the Tiger Soldiers increased from the original 1,000 men in the first battalion to 2,000 men in the two battalions. Another firearms army was established, temporarily commanded by Tang Ao himself, with a strength of 2,000 men.
.The soldiers required by each army can be selected from the 20,000 reserve soldiers. At the same time, the reserve force has also been expanded from the original 20,000 to 30,000.
Calculated in this way, the number of new recruits this time is 21,000. This is because Tang Ao has considered the development of Jizhou and needs brave help in the early stage, so it is not easy to recruit too many troops. Otherwise, if he really goes for a military campaign, Jizhou will not be able to recruit more troops now.
A population of one million can be achieved even if tens of thousands of soldiers are recruited.
"Don't be too happy. I tell you that we don't have much time left for you. You must quickly run in your troops and let them form combat effectiveness. If you don't have more soldiers, the combat effectiveness will decrease. If so, whoever has a problem will be
Whoever you win, don't cry with me when the time comes."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, we will be able to fully form a strong combat force in half a month at most." After hearing this, the generals patted their chests and assured them. They are so confident because the recruits are all reserve soldiers. Speaking of these people
The training has never been relaxed, and it is not much worse than the elites like them. They only need to go to the battlefield and see the blood, and they will become a real elite teacher.
Jizhou has launched a new round of military recruitment, with more than 20,000 people required. The recruitment registration points are also crowded with young people who come to apply. With five taels of silver per month and fifty acres of fertile land, your children can go to school to receive them.
With various benefits in culture and education, there is an endless stream of applicants. This made Zeng Tong and Han Ce, who were a little worried before, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Now it seems that His Highness has a far-sighted vision. While giving preferential treatment to the people, he also
With their sincere support, why should we fear the prying eyes of any powerful enemy?
...
Daliang City.
After rushing all the way, Gongsun Guang, the Di envoy, finally arrived in the city half a month later and met Emperor Qianwen in the palace. He told the Di people about the unfair treatment in Jizhou.
I heard that Emperor Qianwen was one of two elders, so why didn’t his son know how to calm down? Less than a year after he went to Jizhou, he got into trouble again. Doesn’t he know that his father is now
Are you at war with the feudal lord and want to unify the country? At this time, what should you do to provoke your neighbors?
As for the news from Tianzi Wei that Tang Ao had attacked the scholars and powerful people in Jizhou, Emperor Qianwen didn't pay much attention to it. Now that the fiefdom was given to Tang Ao, he could do whatever he wanted to do in Jizhou. Don't let it happen.
It would be nice if he came to wipe his butt. It seemed like he had caused trouble with Beidi, and it seemed that he, the emperor, was going to be in trouble.
Emperor Qianwen, who was focused on defeating Qidi and had no intention of starting a war with Beidi, comforted Gongsun Guang and wrote an imperial edict to King Ji Tang in front of him.
Ao, to the effect that for the sake of peace and friendship with the Di people, the captured Beidi prisoners should be released immediately.
After receiving the imperial edict and feasting and drinking in the hospitality of Emperor Qianwen, Gongsun Guang left Daliang City with great satisfaction and returned to Jizhou without stopping.
It was at this time that the loyal king Tang Qingchuan finally made preparations to use troops.
Qian's army was unstoppable. Taking advantage of the fact that the King of Qi was under house arrest, all the people in Qi were leaderless, and the government could not unify the government, they led the army to attack, and quickly captured Luzhou. The horn of war had already sounded, which allowed King Zhong to see the opportunity.
