Chapter 282: Inside and Outside the Palace (Twelve) The child does not want to sit back and enjoy the success
"Yuan'er, do you want to go to Southern Xinjiang?"
As soon as Gao Pingshi said this, the people at the two tables in the restaurant all turned their attention to Gao Yuan.
The "two tables" mentioned here are the dining rules of the Nanning Marquis Mansion. The rules of the Gao Mansion are different from those of other high-ranking families. Under Gao Pragmatic's order, the concubines of the Gao family are allowed to eat at the table, and they are the same as those of the Gao family.
Pragmatically, Huang Zhiting sat at the same table, and the other children sat at another table - but there was one exception, and that was Gao Yuan, who had always been allowed to sit at the same table with his parents.
In fact, it can be seen from this point that Gao Yuan's status is completely different from that of his younger brothers and sisters, which is very consistent with the custom of the Ming Dynasty that the eldest son dominates.
Although everyone's eyes were turned towards Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan did not look very nervous. Although he was stunned for a moment, he still quickly answered: "It all depends on father's orders."
However, Gao Pangshi didn't seem very satisfied with this answer and asked again: "I asked you if you want to go."
Based on Huang Zhiting, Liu Xin and others' understanding of Gao Pragmatic, once they heard Gao Pragmatic say this, they already knew that he wanted Gao Yuan to make his own decision instead of "relying on his father's orders", and they also guessed that Gao Yuan wanted Gao Yuan to make his own decision.
Being pragmatic is the hope of cultivating Gao Yuan’s decisiveness.
Unexpectedly, Gao Yuan still insisted when his father asked him again: "If the father thinks it is really necessary, the child will go. If the father just wants his son to go and gain experience, then the child thinks it may as well delay for two or three years."
Three years later, Gao Yuan was sixteen years old at that time, which according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, happened to be a man's adulthood - Gao Pangshi estimated that this was what he meant.
Gao pragmatic frowned slightly: "You have been listening to my discussion with your mother just now, so don't you have a clear consideration on whether you should go to southern Xinjiang at this time?"
Gao Yuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up at his mother Huang Zhiting, then lowered his head slightly and said: "My child ventures to guess that my father may hope that my child can get some training in this battle, but my child thinks... my father will only let him
The child has a false name, but the actual preparations for the war are still planned by the mother. If the subsequent war really starts, it will be all handled by the mother."
Having said this, Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "The child may not have the ability to command an army, but the child thinks that if the father wants to train the child, the child cannot always be under the wings of the mother. The child cannot be allowed to command such a high-ranking army.
I can understand the strength of the troops in the two towns, but a name is not enough to train me. It is better to give me an alliance, or even a mark."
Gao Pangshi was quite surprised when he heard this, and glanced at Huang Zhiting subconsciously. Huang Zhiting obviously didn't expect his son to say such a thing. He frowned and asked displeasedly: "You mean, there are
Does it affect your ability to show your talents because of your mother's presence?"
"The mother has misunderstood, how dare the child? The child is just worried that the mother has arranged everything, and the child will just sit back and enjoy the fruits of the harvest." Gao Yuan may still be a little scared of his mother, he hesitated before insisting: "But this is indeed not enough.
To train your children’s ability to be independent, please ask your mother for advice.”
This answer really made Huang Zhiting speechless for a moment. She snorted softly and turned away, but she did not question him again. Instead, she glanced at Gao Pragmatic, with a clear "you tell me" in her eyes.
In fact, after listening to Gao Yuan's words, Gao Pragmatic was quite satisfied overall. Especially since he was unwilling to "just sit back and enjoy the success", but really wanted to receive some training. For this reason, he did not hesitate to give up his "false reputation" and would rather just command an assistant, or even
A target. It must be said that this should be considered rare among the eldest sons of aristocratic families.
However, Gao Pragmatic felt that he was not very satisfied with his son's request. There were two obvious obstacles.
The first obstacle is that the eldest son is the clear "successor" under the Ming Dynasty system, so his status is very special. How special is it? Probably as long as Gao pragmatic himself is not in southern Xinjiang, then when Gao Yuan appears in southern Xinjiang
At that time, it can almost be equated to Gao Pragmatic's personal visit - yes, his symbolic significance at this point is even greater than that of his mother.
How to explain this matter... Just like the plots in many film and television dramas or TV series, suppose that the father dies early for some reason, and his eldest son is not even an adult yet. For example, he is thirteen or fourteen years old like Gao Yuan. If it is placed in future generations, of course this family will
Mother should be in charge.
However, in ancient times, this was not actually the case. Instead, the mother would take the initiative to push her son to the front desk to take charge of affairs, and she herself would only give guidance or advice to her son on major issues.
It is even possible that when the son refuses to listen to guidance or advice, the mother will not object explicitly, but will privately think of ways to recover possible losses.
All in all, people at this time - including the mothers themselves, generally believe that the man should be the head of the family. Even if the son is not mature enough, he cannot oppose him in front of others, lest he loses his prestige.
Under the premise that the eldest son has great specialness, if Gao Pragmatic asks him to go to southern Xinjiang, but only gives him "an agreement, or even a bid", it would be equivalent to breaking the rules to some extent.
This may even send out some kind of wrong signal, causing many people in southern Xinjiang to mistakenly think that Gao Yuan has been "assigned", which would really ruin the situation. Maybe some people will think that there are going to be some children in the Gao family.
With the possibility of seizing the direct line, some people support this and some support that, and the internal unity is over in one fell swoop.
The second difficulty is that even if Gao Yuan is really only given "an agreement, or even a bid," the battle may make the two towns dispatched by the Bago garrison timid.
The truth is obvious. Who dares to let them carry out dangerous operations in the association or standard where the "Nanning Waiting Attack" is located? Who dares to let them carry out dangerous operations? I'm afraid I can't wait to kill them.
Place it in the rear, preferably thousands of miles away from the battlefield.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! You must know that although the Zhenzongzhi are already considered senior military generals in southern Xinjiang, their status is still high and pragmatic servants. What are servants? They are slaves.
!
Since you are a slave, do you dare to put the young master in danger? Not to mention the danger, even if the young master is only slightly frightened, I am afraid that the two town commanders will be so anxious that they will be unable to eat for a few days. This is human nature.
Common sense.
Looking back, what did Gao Zhenxin and the others suggest before? Gao Zhenxin said that Gao Yuan should be appointed as the commander of the Nanyang Fleet, and he didn't even have to actually take the post - he obviously didn't intend to ask the commander to come on the ship. In short, young master, you can make arrangements on the shore.
Just start the work. Oh, you don’t have to arrange the work in detail. After all, the small ones can handle it all for you.
What did the garrison say? Gao Yuan was asked to be the Minister of Military Command - this position was theoretically the direct superior of the six major garrison forces, but in the past Huang Zhiting actually performed the duties on his behalf.
Therefore, regardless of the army or the navy, Gao Yuan was directly assigned to be the "number one". In view of the local strength of the garrison and the Nanyang Fleet, this number obviously does not need to go to the battlefield in person, so it can be said to be absolutely safe.
The Southern Xinjiang army and the navy don't mind - they even sincerely hope that Gao Yuan will be their immediate boss, but if he only serves as a coordinator, commander, or captain, guess what the Southern Xinjiang military will do
Are the top management willing and willing? Do they dare?
China is different from other European countries because most of the time it is a unified dynasty and does not need to be prepared for war at any time. Therefore, there is no tradition of letting the children of nobles join the army, let alone the "first heir"?
Now both the land and sea armies in southern Xinjiang are encouraging Gao Yuan to lead them. In essence, it is not about cultivating Gao Yuan's military ability. To be honest, it is just a show of loyalty.
Of course, having said that, Gao Jingshi was determined to let Gao Yuan go to southern Xinjiang, but he did not necessarily want Gao Yuan to develop such extraordinary commanding skills.
Just as Gao Pragmatic has always believed that his own command level is just that, he is still victorious in every battle. A real strategic decision-maker does not necessarily need a genius like Huo Qubing. As long as he can grasp the overall situation, it is entirely possible to win through calculations.
of.
Specific to Gao Yuan's case, Gao Pragmatic actually planned to let his son go gold-plating from the beginning. Of course, he also wanted him to get familiar with the main generals of the southern Xinjiang military. These will be beneficial to the future.
of.
However, Gao Yuan himself obviously didn't see it that way. He seemed to regard this matter more as a training exercise for him by his father, perhaps even a test of some kind, so his attitude was very serious.
According to Gao's pragmatic view, a thirteen-year-old child should not have such a mature mind. Perhaps an "ancient" society like the Ming Dynasty is indeed easier for people to grow, whether this growth is because Gao Yuan has many younger brothers and sisters who need his
The eldest brother "is the father" when his father is away, or this is generally what the entire society requires of young people nowadays. In short, Gao Yuan's performance looks very mature.
However, Gao Jingshi did not expect one thing. In the eyes of the outside world, he himself was far more precocious than Gao Yuan - he had already become the prince's companion when he was about eight years old, and even founded Jinghua.
Gao Yuan's precocity actually has a lot to do with these. Since he was a child, he has heard everyone around him telling him about his father's various deeds when he was a child. This will undoubtedly set an example for him, but at the same time it will also bring him
a lot of pressure.
The so-called environment shapes people, this is probably the case.
Gao Pragmatic usually makes decisions quickly, but this time he pondered for a long time and didn't say anything. Everyone knew that things were not simple.
Perhaps because of Gao Yuan's previous words, Huang Zhiting had no intention of speaking, so Liu Xin spoke.
"Sir, I thought it would be better to leave it to Yuan'er to handle the task of sending troops to Ala'a this time."
Gao pragmatic glanced at her and saw that she spoke calmly, so he couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
"When the master was thirteen years old, he had already been called 'Quan Ru Internal Prime Minister' for several years." Liu Xin smiled slightly and said: "What's more, although the current situation in Arakan is complicated, when it comes to the specific use of troops, it is not
It’s not too difficult, I believe Yuan’er can handle it.”
These words were obviously reserved. Liu Xin probably wanted to avoid oversimplifying the matter. As a result, even if Gao Yuan did a good job in this matter in the future, others might find out what she said.
Anyone can do it, and it doesn’t count as a credit at all, so that’s not good.
In this case, Gao Pragmatic naturally wanted to taste the meaning of Liu Xin's words. He thought about it and roughly understood what Liu Xin meant.
Although Gao Yuan has made it clear that he does not want to just sit back and enjoy his success under the protection of his mother's wings, the fact will not change significantly because of his subjective consciousness.
In any case, Huang Zhiting has been in charge of the entire southern Xinjiang for many years. Although many plans against Arakan and the Mughals have been suppressed by high pragmatism, this kind of thing is not something that can be started on a whim.
Before the war actually broke out, a lot of work had actually begun, and Huang Zhiting had been handling these tasks over the years.
In other words, no matter how Gao Yuan goes about "conquering Arakan", he will not break away from the foundation Huang Zhiting laid for him, and this foundation - that is, various preparations, Liu Xin, as Jinghua
The secretary-general obviously also knows everything.
The fact that Liu Xin dares to make such a statement now means that in her opinion, no matter how Gao Yuan decides on specific actions after leaving, it should be possible to ensure that the phased goal of comprehensive control of Arakan is achieved.
If there is any uncertainty, it means that the time of conquest may be sooner or later, and the loss may be large or small. In short, it is within the acceptable range and will not make things get out of hand.
Under this situation, Liu Xin believed that it was more important to train Gao Yuan's abilities and cultivate his prestige.
"It makes sense." Gao Jingshi nodded slightly and said, "Well, let's do this. Since Yuan'er has the confidence to take care of your mother's worries... Madam, if you stay in the capital for a while this time, I will be free as well.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I can stay with you more."
I don't know if it's because Huang Zhiting doesn't see Gao Pragmatic for a long time every year, so there are always some feelings of separation that are better than newlyweds. When she said this in front of the children, she actually turned red, but it's just that
He nodded slightly but did not answer.
However, Liu Xin reacted quickly and asked in surprise: "Master wants to stay in the capital? What...what happened?"
When she asked this question, everyone else reacted: Shouldn't the master continue to preside over the pacification of Japan and set out to conquer the Japanese mainland? How could he stay in the capital?
Surprisingly, it was Meng Guzhezhe who seemed a little anxious this time. She asked nervously: "Sir, is there something wrong with the North Korean invasion?"
Gao pragmatic knew why Meng Guzhezhe was anxious, because according to his original plan, the three major Jurchen tribes were to be "transferred" to North Korea. As the princess of the Yehe tribe, one of the three major tribes, she was of course very concerned about this.
Although in order to avoid suspicion, she had not expressed any opinions on this matter before, but it is certain that she must be highly concerned about the matter itself. As for her inner views, of course she also hopes that Ye Hebu can
Allocate the best "fiefdom".
Gao Pragmatic waved his hand and said: "Don't worry. Although the situation has changed, it has nothing to do with North Korea's internal affairs."
After a pause, he sighed softly: "I just found out today that not only Mingquan Gong will resign and return to his hometown after the new year, but also Nangong."
While the wives and concubines were still thinking about who "Dui Nangong" was, Liu Xin stood up in shock: "Is the master going to be the first assistant?"
