Legion migration changed from three years to five years?
As soon as these words came out, the entire Imperial City Square suddenly became audible, and for a while, the only sound left was the sizzling sound of roasted meat.
Many people turned their heads and subconsciously looked at the people in the Zhenguo Palace.
However, not to mention Huo Yun, Huo Li and others who had just returned from Yanji Fortress, even the eldest son Huo Qing was stunned with a face that could not be concealed.
Apparently they were equally ignorant.
Among so many people, Ren Rong from Taishifu was very calm.
Alas.
He suddenly shrugged his nose.
"What are you doing? Look, the meat is burnt."
After saying that, Ren Rong stepped over and helped flip the meat skewers on the oven.
Uh-huh.
"BBQ..."
What is barbecue?
Everyone suddenly woke up and started roasting meat again.
"Oops, turn over the barbecue. Where's the sauce? Apply the sauce quickly."
However, although their hands were constantly moving, their expressions were somewhat dazed.
The movement of legions into defense has been a common practice since ancient times.
On the surface, it talks about coordinating the strength of border defenses in various places, and at the same time allowing each legion to understand the situation in each border area better and faster, so that the legion's maximum strength can be used when something happens.
But everyone knows that those are just superficial words.
In fact, the emperor, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was worried that the legions would be too self-reliant or even collude with each other, threatening the status and security of the royal family.
The army moves every three years, which sounds like a long time.
Theoretically, it is enough for each legion to get familiar with each other, run into each other and generate combat effectiveness with the local border garrison after they move into place.
Actually it is not.
For example, Starfall Legion,
Its cavalry can be said to be the best in the world.
The most important thing for cavalry is movement speed.
However, a few years ago, Xingluo transferred his defense from Yanjie Fortress to Zhennanguan.
Even the fastest forward battalion took half a year on the road.
Not to mention the large Chinese army following behind, as well as the logistical support carrying heavy military supplies.
Fortunately, unlike other legions, Wei Junqian usually only travels with 20,000 elite troops, while most of the others stay in the Houxue Camp in Xingluo County for training.
Especially after arriving at the Yingshan Camp in Guangxin County, each battalion immediately started training and became familiar with the high-humidity and hot climate in the mountains of southern Xinjiang as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, the subsequent Battle of Nanfeng will probably be like the Yanhui Legion stationed before. It is unclear whether it can be defeated or how long it will last.
Three years seems like a long time.
However, it will take more than half a year for the legion to move in, and another half a year to move out.
Therefore, the time spent at the station for training or combat was actually only a little over a year.
Many times, in such a short period of time, it is often impossible to defeat even a high-point city, let alone conquer or even destroy an entire enemy country.
Although everyone knows that the Legion relocates every three years, which is a waste of time and money.
It can be said that each legion is either on the way to move defense, or on the way to prepare to move defense.
As for the tens of thousands of people eating, drinking, and eating during the movement and blocking the post roads and blocking the trade routes, it is actually a trivial matter.
But no one dared to object.
Even the powerful Lord Zhenguo or the fearless Starfall Army did not dare to openly oppose it.
Even the moment they receive the order to mobilize defenses, everyone including Wei Junqian will immediately take action to avoid misunderstandings with Star City.
However, now Ren Ning actually proposed to move the legion from three years to five years...
Everyone present naturally understood what this meant.
Represents: Trust!
These two words are very light but also very heavy.
Especially for generals like them who are fighting abroad, sometimes the emperor's trust is more rare and precious than desperately rushed support or food.
I don't know how long it took, but everyone came back to their senses and looked at each other.
I don't know whether it was because they had eaten too much barbecue or something, but their mouths felt a little dry and their hearts were pounding.
Many people felt relieved.
When one has great merit, the master will be demolished when crossing a river. Birds will be hidden with their bows hidden. Rabbits will be killed and dogs will be cooked. Donkeys will be killed by unloading grinding mills...
As meritorious officials, they are all familiar with these idioms.
However, the master he is following now seems to be different from other emperors in history.
"Why are you in a daze?" In the silence, Lei Er's broken gong voice suddenly sounded, "Come on, let's fight! The winner will eat meat, the loser will drink. Don't cheat!"
oh.
"That's right." He slapped his forehead.
"There's not much wine left. But it doesn't matter. Come on, let's drink tea instead of wine!"
"Five leaders, six, six, six, eight horses..."
Everyone seemed to be waking up from a dream and picked up their wine glasses.
"Drink tea, drink tea!"
Barbecuing and boxing, the entire Imperial City Square was noisy. The old eunuchs were dumbfounded, but no one had any objections.
It wasn't until the sun turned west that Lei Er and others left the palace with smiles and contentment.
Just like when the prisoners in Nanfeng returned home in triumph, those who had families in Xingji City would go home, while those who didn't would either go to stay with friends temporarily or be placed by the Ministry of War and Etiquette.
Soon, the legion's defense deployment time changed from three years to five years, and word quickly spread among the noble families.
————
Qinglong Street, Zhudanfang.
Pingliang County Prince's Mansion.
Bang bang.
The door to the study room rang softly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"What's the matter?" King Pingliang raised his head.
"Back to my lord, the second master of the Yang family is here, do you see it?"
"Why are you here again?" King Pingliang frowned slightly.
This Yang Mansion is his maternal grandfather's home, and the so-called second master of the Yang family is actually his second uncle.
Although it was normal for uncles and nephews to interact with each other on weekdays, King Pingliang was a little unhappy at this time.
Because his second uncle had a purpose every time he came to the palace.
"Li Bin is still being detained?" King Pingliang's voice was light.
Lao Changshi nodded while pecking at the rice.
"Back to your lord, since Fang Yinbao returned from Huayang County, the entire General's Mansion of the Li family has been blocked by the imperial army. Now, only entry and exit are still allowed."
"As for Li Bin who is in the Central Army Corps..."
He must still be detained, and his life and death are unknown.
King Pingliang nodded slightly.
He doesn't care about Li Bin's life or death, what he cares about is his second uncle who grew up with him.
It's just that the in-law relationship in Xingji City has always been complicated, and the Li and Yang families happen to be in-laws as well.
As luck would have it, Li Bin married his cousin, or Yang Er's eldest daughter.
Now that Yang Er was begging for his son-in-law, King Pingliang could not refuse.
"It's troublesome."
Old Chang Shi nodded in agreement.
He quietly pointed to the roof.
"Your Majesty, now that general has made it clear that he will severely deal with the generals at all levels of the former Central Army Corps. If our royal family gets involved for the sake of a mere Li Bin, it will easily get into trouble and the gain will not be worth the loss."
"Indeed." King Pingliang nodded.
It's just that the favor is too great, and he can't refuse his second uncle who has always been close to him.
In addition, the most important thing is that my home is the royal palace.
Although he is only a county king, he is also a royal family that is subordinate to one person and surpasses tens of thousands of people.
In-laws, in-laws, that is a family.
Something happened to my in-laws, but as the king of the county, I didn't even dare to say a word. I'm afraid I won't be able to raise my head among the large number of relatives and friends in the future.
Old Chang Shi saw his master's dilemma and hesitated for a while.
"Your Majesty, although His Majesty intends to focus on the Central Army Corps, it seems that he is only targeting generals like Feng Haohan and Fang Yuanwu."
"It seems that Li Bin is just a middle-level general in the Central Army Corps. And in such a large army, there are actually countless such people. Maybe he didn't make any big mistakes."
Speaking of this, Chang Shi quietly pinched his pocket.
The heavy thing inside was the silver bag that Yang Er had just stuffed.
"And according to what your second uncle said, he just wanted to find someone to visit the prison and see how his son-in-law was doing. He didn't plan to do anything else."
"Your Majesty, after all, we are also a prince's palace."
Speaking of this, Old Changshi glanced meaningfully in the direction of Prince Ming's Mansion.
He deepened his voice slightly.
"A palace similar to the Ming Palace."
King Pingliang was slightly startled and quickly reacted.
During the reign of Emperor Changxing, King Ming Chen Xiujian had always wanted to sit on the dragon chair. He jumped up and down to do so, and even used many methods, many of which were directed at the current emperor.
Logically speaking, after the new emperor comes to power, such people should be killed as soon as possible.
As a result, Ren Ning did not, and even took the initiative to re-enable the Ming Prince.
For example, let Chen Xiujian pick up the triumphant team and build a monument to the martyrs...
These are not things that ordinary people can do, they must be the emperor's confidants.
From this, the new emperor may also be concerned about his reputation among the royal family.
"Your Majesty, with Prince Ming at your side, this is just a small favor. I think we might be able to help."
