No one dared to answer Chen Changqing's words. Even if someone guessed who it was, they would not dare to speak randomly.
He deserves the greatest credit, and not everyone deserves this praise.
Yang Xuan, who was standing aside, had already guessed that Chen Changqing was going to praise him, but he didn't expect that Chen Changqing would praise him on such an occasion.
Chen Changqing continued: "Since you don't say it, I will say it myself. This person first produced and supplied the new weapons we use, so that the soldiers can get twice the result with half the effort during the battle."
"This man also invented the trick of trapping horses, so that our army can deal with the Ora cavalry more safely and effectively."
"In addition, he also led his men to raid the Fucha tribe's home base, forcing Fuchar to retreat and leaving the enemy with less reinforcements."
"Only by going deep into the enemy's rear and plundering the enemy's 100,000-strong army of food and fodder, our army was able to break the deadlock and launch a counterattack."
"In the end, he was willing to take a strange risk and led his men to sneak into the enemy's interior, and was able to easily recapture Jiayuguan. There are many other achievements in it. I will not go into details one by one. You think, based on these achievements of this person, he can
Can’t it be considered a first achievement?”
What Chen Changqing said was actually experienced by the soldiers. It can be said that Yang Xuan provided great help to the victory of this battle, both from the front and the side.
Moreover, the Admiral admires him so much, and Yang Xuan also has the status of military supervisor, which means that he is also number one among the emperor.
So who else would object to what Chen Changqing said?
"General Yang, the first achievement in this battle belongs to you."
Chen Changqing made an invitation gesture, and Yang Xuan had no choice but to walk over.
It is estimated that everyone has heard of such a famous figure as Yang Xuan, but this is the first time for most people to see him in person.
How can one not be surprised that someone so young, so handsome, and obviously a frail scholar can achieve so many achievements?
Just when everyone was surprised, Chen Changqing did something even more surprising.
He pulled Yang Xuan to the chair and said loudly: "You were the first to recapture Jiayuguan this time, so you will take this position."
After saying that, he couldn't help but press Yang Xuan on the chair.
In fact, Yang Xuan refused in his heart. After all, he has always been used to keeping a low profile, so being in such a big limelight in front of so many people was inconsistent with his character.
But who is Chen Changqing, the number one master in the Dasheng Army? How could Yang Xuan, a man with no strength, be able to break free, so he sat down on the handsome chair covered with wolf skin cushions?
Up.
The whole audience was shocked.
People at lower levels may not realize anything yet, but those on the stage understood the meaning of Chen Changqing's move. This was clearly to promote Yang Xuan to the top.
Chen Changqing is definitely going to go down this time, so there must be many people watching this position. It is absolutely impossible for Chen Changqing to put an unrelated person in this position, so there must be a deep meaning in this.
Could it be that Chen Changqing knew something?
Will this frail scholar be the admiral in the future?
Can the emperor agree?
Even if the emperor agrees, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, and so many veterans, don’t have any objections?
But no matter what, the Admiral personally recommended it, how could they, as subordinates, not support him.
As a result, the generals on both sides of the stage came over to congratulate Yang Xuan. They were all very enthusiastic. This might be his future boss, so they had to flatter him quickly.
…
When the battle report of the victory at Jiayuguan reached Yingtian Mansion, the civil and military officials in the court were all excited, and some people began to make calculations in their hearts.
They all know that Chen Changqing will definitely step down from that position this time. Who can not be greedy for such a hot cake?
As soon as the morning meeting ended, these officials began to run around to find out the news.
The emperor also received this news in the Yangxin Palace, but he just sneered. According to Chen Changqing's secret report, Yang Xuan's contribution this time was enough to take over the position of admiral. The only shortcoming was that he
His qualifications are too low.
Not only his qualifications, but his foundation is also shallow, so no one will support him, so the emperor has to personally handle this matter.
So, in the Yangxin Hall, the emperor summoned many ministers one after another.
The officials quickly smelled it, and it seemed that the emperor already had a designated candidate in mind.
Of course, some people who thought they were qualified to compete for this position did not give up so easily, so they hooked up with officials everywhere and planned to compete for this lucrative position at the court meeting.
But when at the court meeting, with the emperor's instructions, Yang Xuan was proposed as the successor, everyone was a little dumbfounded.
Because no one thought that Yang Xuan, who had such little qualifications, would be nominated?
And it was ordered by the emperor?
To say that Yang Xuan took over the position of Ganzhou Guard Admiral, his credit must be enough. After all, when discussing the merits, it was confirmed that Yang Xuan was the first meritorious service, but the reward has not been discussed yet.
Who is Yang Xuan, the founder of Shengfa Company, a celebrity in front of the emperor, or a princeling?
Not to mention anything else, just because they are people who want to compete and are still receiving dividends from Shengfa Company, they have some concerns about opposing Yang Xuan.
The current emperor trusts him, and the next emperor relies on him. More than half of the civil and military officials in the dynasty still receive the dividends earned by others. What good fruits can be gained by offending him?
The only thing that can be opposed is his qualifications, and there are some stubborn veterans who come out to oppose him based on their past achievements and qualifications.
"Master Yang is a businessman who just won a battle at the right time. How can he be the governor of Ganzhou Guard? I joined the army at the age of fourteen. I have been in the army for nearly forty years and have experienced various battles.
Countless, even this leg, was injured on the battlefield that year. The Ganzhou Guard is the gateway to the northwest border of Dasheng. How can it be handed over to a yellow-haired boy? I would like to recommend myself to lead the troops in the northwest to help us Dasheng.
barrier."
Faced with such a highly respected veteran, the prince who presided over the court meeting had no idea for a moment. He really couldn't offend these veterans casually.
But behind the curtain on the side, the emperor, who was lying on the couch, spoke.
"I still remember that when Yang Xuan was in Tumu Fort, he used more than a hundred guards to destroy a thousand iron pagodas on the grassland. And General Sun, your leg was injured in the battle with the iron pagoda. The weather has been bad recently.
Cold, will this leg injury recur?"
General Sun suddenly felt ashamed and retreated.
Although the emperor was lying behind the curtain, everyone in the civil and military court seemed to be able to feel his sharp gaze.
Even though the emperor had been claiming illness for a while and asked the prince to preside over court meetings, his power was still there and no one dared to go against his will.
Lu Chenghong nodded secretly and learned another trick.
"So, if Yang Xuan takes over as the Admiral of Ganzhou Guard, who has any other candidates?"
No one in the civil and military circles responded. Just when Lu Chenghong was about to make a decision, someone stood up and said, "I have other candidates."
