Luo Youdu did not stay in Amber Pavilion for long. He thought he would have a pleasant afternoon with his sisters.
But the thief God was obviously a little jealous and did not give him this opportunity.
While he was accompanying Emperor Zhou E and Zhou Xiaomei, news came that Zhe Yuqing was asking for an audience.
Zhe Yuqing came here firstly to report on his work, and secondly to wish him New Year's greetings.
Luo Youdu himself knew that it was he who had single-handedly facilitated Yu Qing's entry into the capital this time.
Luo Youdu's greatest advantage is that he is a prophet. He can know the potential of the opponent and consolidate his loyalty by giving favors in advance. At the same time, he can also reflect his knowledge of people as a king.
Han Lingkun, Gao Huaide, Han Tong, and Shi Shouxin were the first generation of generals in the Yu Dynasty. Then Cao Bin, Pan Mei, Brother Yelvxiu, Yang Ye, Yao Neibin, Ma Renyu and others were the second generation, while Li Jilong, Qin
People like Han, Zhe Yuqing, and Yin Jilun are the third generation.
Compared with them relying on their own abilities to rise to the top step by step, Luo Youdu gave them the opportunity first and gave them a platform to better show themselves, which has a completely different meaning.
Loyalty is never a person's character, but a noble sentiment born in a specific environment.
Is Zhuge Liang's loyalty to Shu Han because of the Han Dynasty?
Obviously not, it was based on Emperor Zhaolie Liu Bei's profound kindness towards him.
Zhe Yuqing is the force that Dayu can rely on in the future, so Luo Youdu naturally has to make preparations in advance.
Facing political affairs, Luo Youdu was the most clear-minded. He gave up the Zhou sisters and ordered people to invite Zhe Yuqing to the Renming Hall. He also called Zhe Saihua and sent the Chou Chou Luo Kangrui who was studying.
Called back.
When Zhe Saihua heard that her younger brother had arrived, she was very happy, a little excited, and her eye circles were a little red. Since she married into the palace, she has not seen her relatives for many years.
Even when her father Zhe Deke passed away due to illness, she was unable to return to Fugu to mourn, and she felt sad for a long time.
"I pay homage to your majesty, the saint, and I wish your majesty, the saint, peace..."
Then he saluted and said hello to Zhe Saihua and Luo Kangrui.
Luo Youdu looked at the young man in front of him who was not yet thirteen years old, and felt quite emotional. At his age, he was still a fool who stole family money to play games, but the other man was already a young general who had been tested on the battlefield.
Most of the Tuoba clan members of the Dingnan Army have been killed, but there are always some who slipped through the net and fled to the desert, turned into thieves, and plundered from all directions.
Different from what happened in history, the disaster-defeating army in history was deeply loved by the people of Ningxia. As a result, even if Li Jiqian fled to the desert, the nobles of Ningxia secretly supported them, and the Dangxiang tribe of Nanshan was willing to form an alliance with him.
The foundation of Xixia was laid in a few places.
However, through the economic blockade, Luo Youdu caused a complete break between the Tuoba family of the Li family and the Ningxia nobles due to their interests, and the two sides are now in the same situation.
Nanshan Dangxiang was also conquered by Luo Youdu long ago. Without support, the remnants of the disaster army could only turn into robbers, wandering in the desert and attacking various places in Ningxia. This also completely cut off the Li family's century-old reputation.
Facing this group of bandits, the court also had a headache and had no good solution.
The Li family is very familiar with the northwest desert. Their number is small and they can come and go freely.
Local officials have taken many proactive actions to no avail...
It wasn't until a year ago that Zhe Yuxun found the traces of the remnants of the Dingnan Army, and he, Yang Chongxun, and Zhe Yuqing's soldiers divided into three groups to surround and kill them.
The remnants of the Dingnan Army did not dare to provoke the famous Zhe Yuxun and Yang Chongxun. They planned to teach the young Zhe Yuqing a lesson, but they kicked the iron plate and gave the twelve-year-old young general a complete defeat.
Zhe Yuqing knew full well that this time the opponent was bullying him because of his youth, so he used all his strength to attack him, intending to devour him before Zhe Yuxun and Yang Chongxun could support him. The thieves in front of him were the main force of the opponent, so he immediately ignored Zhe Yuxun and Yang Chongxun.
They pursued the fleeing soldiers for eight days and nights in the desert, relying on horse blood to quench their thirst and horse meat to satisfy their hunger. They found the thieves' unknown oasis lair in the desert and uprooted it.
There are only a few remnants of the Dingnan Army, only about 700 people. Zhe Yuqing's contribution to killing the enemy is not great, but the perseverance and boldness he showed during this march indeed have the demeanor of a famous general.
Besides, he is only twelve years old.
"My family, there is no need to be polite! Just be more casual..." Luo Youdu said with a gentle smile: "I heard that you were raised by your sister. I haven't seen you for many years. I must have a lot to say. You will be staying at King Qin's house tonight.
Funing Hall, there is no need to leave the palace."
Zhe Yuqing was still young when Zhe Saihua married into the palace, and he only had a vague impression of this sister.
However, in the early years of the Fugu Zhejia family, they were alone in Fugu, with enemies on all sides. The first thing the enlightened children learned was not to read, but to hold a gun. It was a tradition at that time that women farmed and men fought. When necessary, all people, regardless of gender, were soldiers.
Every labor force was extremely important to Fugu at that time.
Zhe's mother also set an example and left the care of Zhe Yuqing to the young Zhe Saihua.
Because of this, when it comes to taking care of children in the harem, the innocent Zhe Saihua is the best at it.
The Fugu Zhe family is full of loyal people. In order to teach the younger generations not to forget their original aspirations, they often talk to Zhe Yuqing about the events of the past. It is also because of this that Zhe Yuqing has great feelings for the virtuous concubine sister who is the head of the grand palace. Hearing this very much
Yan said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I do have many things to say to the Concubine Xian."
Zhe Saihua was also very excited. When she entered the palace, she had already ignored others and came forward to talk to Zhe Yuqing in detail. But now that she is the mother of three sons, she is much more stable, and she is like a needle felt by the side.
Sitting on the ground.
Seeing this, Luo Youdu smiled and said, "Don't rush to report on the situation in Fugu. You siblings will go to reminisce about old times first, and then come over for dinner."
Zhe Saihua was overjoyed and went down together with Zhe Yuqing.
Luo Youdu glanced at Zhe Saihua and watched Zhe Yuqing leave: "Boy, this Zhe Yuxun, and Li Jilong who will study with you tomorrow, if you can gain their trust and support, you can keep the kingdom that will be given to you in the future.
, that’s an easy thing.” He said pointedly.
After two years of imprisonment, Luo Kangrui was no longer a child mentally. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty understands."
Luo Youdu nodded with satisfaction. In addition to being a lesson for the vassal towns in the late Tang Dynasty, the later generations' worship of civility and restraint of martial arts was also because the civil servant group was far easier to control than the military minister group.
No matter what the position of the civil servants in the temple, even if they are prime ministers, they can be replaced at any time according to the situation. It is difficult to find such a famous prime minister through the ages, but there may be a lot of people who can do the work of prime ministers. The military ministers are different, especially those who have come from the war.
Generals, they are a group of people who support each other and come from the battlefield. It is a friendship that lasts for life and death.
The emperor's words may not be able to overcome this kind of friendship.
But without this kind of friendship, you will not know the soldiers, and the soldiers will not know the generals, and it will be difficult for an army to exert its unique combat effectiveness.
This is a knot that is difficult to untie.
Especially the generals who live on the border. They hold extremely high power in their hands. Even if they are restricted by the system, if they really encounter powerful characters like An Lushan, they will work against the will and build the interior like an iron barrel. It is not easy for an emperor thousands of miles away to gain insight.
Therefore, in addition to the constraints of the system, we must also show kindness and kindness to help the other party resist temptation.
Luo Youdu is now paving the way for Dayu's future in addition to his own kindness.
Dusk is coming, Zhe Saihua, Zhe Yuqing comes as promised.
Zhe Saihua and her biological brother spent the whole afternoon chatting about family issues, and Zhe Yuqing also met her three nephews, both of whom were beaming with joy.
Zhe Yuqing learned that his sister and nephew were living well, so he naturally became closer and more loyal to the emperor Luo Youdu.
Accompanied by Luo Kangrui, Zhe Yuqing truthfully reported the current situation in Fugu to Luo Youdu.
Fugu is no longer a frontier place of Dayu, but its status has only increased.
Fugu is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, with mountains blocking the river. The terrain is steep and the water and grass are abundant, making it the most suitable place for breeding military horses.
The Imperial Court of Dayu had horse farms in various places, but the main sources of military horses were from Fuzhou Military Horse Farm, Longyou Military Horse Farm and Bazhou Military Horse Farm. Among them, Fuzhou Military Horse Farm was the largest and produced the best war horses.
The Zhe family is not responsible for the internal affairs of Fuzhou Military Horse Farm, but has the responsibility of guarding and the power of supervision.
Luo Youdu couldn't help but nodded after hearing this.
Now that the government is clear and bright, civil servants all over the world want to follow a promising founding king like Luo Youdu and be remembered in history. As long as they have the ambition to take responsibility, most of them will not give up their great future at this time.
The officials in charge of the Fuzhou Army Racecourse were also diligent and diligent, and Zhe Yuqing gave him great praise.
Luo Youdu did not doubt that they were protecting each other, because the news from the censor was the same.
"How's the camel cavalry doing?"
Luo Youdu asked the question he was most concerned about.
When the news of Zhe Yuqing's successful pursuit reached Luo Youdu, he immediately decided that camels were the best tool for marching in the desert.
There is no large desert in the core area of China, and creatures like camels are not prevalent. But the further you go to the west, the greater the value of camels.
The imperial court needed a camel cavalry and a camel transport team to cope with the upcoming changes in the west.
Luo Youdu gave the task of training camel cavalry to the Zhe family.
As for the task of the camel transport team, he handed it over to Li Fang, who was an official in Longyou.
Wu Desi sent news that the Manichaean saints of the Western Regions and the kings of the Chengfa Sect had escaped from Khotan and came with the situation in the West.
According to the information obtained so far, the news brought by the Manichaean saint should be quite large, and it is likely to lead to the early arrival of the war in the Western Region.
Camel cavalry will also have a place to play.
Zhe Yuqing bowed and said: "After receiving your Majesty's order, my brother and the general did not dare to slack off. They selected athletes from the army to train in the sand sea day and night, which has been quite effective. However, the number of dromedary camels is a bit small, and the speed of the Bactrian camels is too slow. , is not suitable for fighting. Now, only three of our soldiers can get one horse, so we are a little short of money."
Luo Youdu said: "I will solve this matter and try to raise a team of three thousand people! Go back and tell your brother that the future Western Region will be a battlefield for your brothers!"
He narrowed his eyes. The Fugu Zhe family has been in Fuzhou for a hundred years and they are loyal and courageous. However, in the long run, it is better to move to another place.
