Guo Rong's appointment also made the military ministers look at each other.
They wanted to prevent Luo Youdu from entering their circle, but Guo Rong didn't give them a chance at all.
Taking a different approach, Luo Youdu was appointed as the capital commander, and a new imperial camp department was established, directly under the command of the council hall, completely separated from their line of generals.
Their interests have not been infringed, and even if they want to complain, there is no way to do so.
However, the civilian officials had an extra imperial city army that could be called upon out of thin air, which undoubtedly made them feel a little bit threatened.
However, as Guo Rong's power becomes more and more powerful, even those who are as arrogant as them do not dare to be too presumptuous and arrogant now.
In just two years, Guo Rong was able to suppress the arrogance of the arrogant soldiers of this era to a certain extent. He indeed had extraordinary means.
Luo Youdu secretly glanced at the many military generals who looked a little resigned and aggrieved. He was suddenly startled and thought to himself: "Zhao Kuangyin's transformation into the yellow robe went so smoothly. Maybe there are no complaints from these generals against Guo Rong."
Guo Rong had great ambitions. What he wanted was not separatism, but unification. After taking the throne, he began to rectify the military and suppress arrogant and powerful generals. He was not like those separatist forces who thoughtlessly indulged generals who could fight.
The generals who are accustomed to misbehaving have adapted to the freedom in chaos early. If they are suddenly restrained, they will definitely be dissatisfied.
It's just that Guo Rong's methods are so powerful that they dare to get angry but dare not speak out.
As soon as Guo Rong died, they couldn't wait to push Zhao Kuangyin out.
Of course there is Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi's ambition and conspiracy among them, but the resentment that has been suppressed is also the key.
Otherwise, it would not have been easy, allowing Zhao Kuangyin to ascend to the throne of the emperor almost without a fight.
It's just that they didn't expect that Zhao Kuangyin would do something even better, and Guo Rongshang tried to do it slowly in order not to affect the army's combat effectiveness.
Zhao Kuangyin immediately released his military power over a glass of wine, confiscated everyone's military power, and made them rich men.
I don’t know if they, who surrendered their military power, will miss the late Guo Rong the moment they hand over their military power.
Such thoughts flashed through my mind.
Luo Youdu instantly retracted his thoughts and didn't look away.
The reward is over.
Luo Youdu stayed with Guo Rong.
Guo Rong showed his preference for Luo Youdu without hesitation in front of all officials.
Luo Youdu also faced all kinds of strange looks without changing his expression.
The monarch and his ministers did not stay in Zichen Hall for long.
This is too solemn and not the place to talk.
Guo Rong took Luo Youdu to the Wende Hall on the west side. This is where Guo Rong stopped and rested before going to court and after retreating from court.
"Wait a minute, this dress is too bulky. To be honest, it's not comfortable at all!"
He asked the eunuch to give Luo Youdu a chair and walked into the inner hall.
Luo Youdu sat on a chair and looked around at the situation in the palace.
If Yanhe Hall is said to be simple, Wende Hall can be said to be dilapidated.
As the place where Guo Rong rested, not only was the furniture old, the surrounding load-bearing columns were peeling in many places, and some even had paint peeled off and then repainted with paint. There were obvious traces of repeated repainting.
Guo Rong came to the back hall in his regular uniform. When he saw Luo Youdu, he stood up to greet him. He waved his hand and asked him to sit down. He also sat at the top casually.
"You've done a great job in the West. Uncle Wen and I couldn't have imagined that you could be so thorough. I got the latest news from Shu yesterday. In order to alleviate economic problems, Meng Chang even ordered the collection of people's iron weapons to be used as iron money.
.Even if they don’t sincerely surrender, there is no possibility of them launching troops in the next few years, and we have enough time to deal with Southern Tang."
Luo Youdu said: "I was just lucky. I took a gamble. It was all thanks to Your Majesty's great blessings that I won the bet."
Guo Rong smiled and said: "Being able to win is your ability."
He paused and said: "Are there any difficulties regarding the matter of the Royal Camp Division? Do you need my help?"
Luo Youdu shook his head and said: "If your Majesty is really allowed to take action, how can I convince the public?"
Guo Rong nodded with satisfaction: "As long as you know, okay, I won't get involved in the affairs of the Royal Camp Division. You are fully responsible for how to set it up. But you don't have to be too hasty. The arrogant soldiers and strong generals have lasted for hundreds of years, not overnight.
What can be solved is that I am still young and you are even younger and have plenty of time."
As the king of a country, Guo Rong knew very well that he could not always conduct military campaigns personally. There would be too many changes outside the temple during long-term campaigns.
Especially now that his eldest son is only two years old.
If there really is an accident, I don't dare to think about the outcome.
He needs someone who can be prestigious, capable and trustworthy, who can shock those arrogant and powerful generals.
Luo Youdu thought to himself: "The most lacking thing now is time."
But looking at Guo Rong's energetic appearance, he really couldn't tell that Guo Rong was short-lived.
Guo Rong seemed to have great confidence in Luo Youdu. He really no longer asked about the issues of Yuyingsi, but changed the topic to Jiangnan, which deserved the most attention.
"I always thought that this western expedition would allow the Southern Tang Dynasty to take the initiative. In this way, we could defeat their army first, then enter their territory, and attack Huainan with a great victory. But I didn't expect that Li Jing would not dare to
After half a year of discussions with his subordinate Wen Wu about dispatching troops, Shu surrendered, but no results have been produced yet. There are hundreds of thousands of troops, but they are just decorations, and they are really incompetent..."
Luo Youdu was not surprised at all. If Li Jing was really courageous and went north when the Liao Kingdom retreated from the Central Plains, the world would be his. He said: "Since the other party does not dare to fight, then we have to take the initiative. The longer time goes by, the more likely we are to fight."
The worse we are."
Guo Rong snorted contemptuously and said: "I think so too. I finally figured it out. Li Jing is just a coward. Ten leopards wouldn't dare to fight given him. If he doesn't dare to come, then let us go."
Luo Youdu suddenly thought of something and suggested: "Now in July, Your Majesty can choose to send troops in November. The biggest problem in Huainan is the Huaihe River defense line. Every winter, the water level of the Huaihe River will be greatly reduced or even cut off. Our army can easily pass through the Huaihe River defense line.
, directly enter the boundary of Huainan."
Guo Rong said to himself: "Sending troops at the end of November to cross the river in December, using the weather to cross the Huaihe River, is a wonderful way. Then we will decide to send troops at the end of November, but then..." He glanced at Luo Youdu and smiled.
: "I don't have much time for you."
Luo Youdu said with confidence: "In four months, the Royal Camp Division will definitely not be able to go to the battlefield. However, I am confident that after four months, the team of the Royal Camp Division will be built up. Even if I am not here, it will still be able to operate freely.
"
Guo Rong put his hands together and said: "Okay, then I will give you four months. As long as the results of the Royal Camp Division satisfy me, I will give you another chance to make meritorious deeds. If you fail to do so, just stay silent."
In Kaifeng, develop the Imperial Camp Division. During the attack on the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, 80% of the generals in the temple will be transferred away. It is also the time to develop the Imperial Camp Division."
