Chapter 76 Princess Jin
"But lord, have you said that Chang'an is located in Guanzhong, with the dangers of four barriers and no fear of other places, so it is easy for people to settle down in the status quo and not be ambitious?" Su Tie couldn't help but say: "The place where the four battles of Bianliang face the threat of the Great Jin, Taining and the Invasion Army at any time can cultivate a strong army and face any enemy. You have also said this view."
He was so choked by Su Tie's words that he couldn't speak for a while. Jiang Feng didn't expect that what he said casually was remembered so reliably by this guy, and he could also be used to refute him.
Seeing that Jiang Feng was stopped, Ju Qi also found it funny. It was difficult for Su Jiang Feng to be asked down. Now Jiang Feng was finally stopped, but he was asked by his own words.
"Yes, this is what I said. Daliang did not dare to slack off in the situation of four crises, so there was such a strong army." Jiang Feng pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "But a regime is not enough to rely on a strong army alone. The four battles allow Daliang to maintain a strong force at any time, and this force also consumed Daliang's large amount of resources, making it difficult for Daliang to develop more in other aspects, such as in industry and commerce.
Apart from Bianliang, other states are not good at making any sense. Daliang only has a hinterland in the Central Plains, but water conservancy is not built and the roads are not smooth. As a result, there is insufficient accumulation. Once a war is encountered and the consumption is too large, it will greatly weaken itself. This is why Daliang only has a strong army, but when fighting wars, it is often a big start and a bad end, because it can still support it in all aspects in the early stage, but after reaching the back, food, supplies, weapons and military supplies, and materials in all aspects will not be able to keep up."
"In addition to this factor, Daliang's current dilemma is still a big reason for making too many enemies with it, right?" Chu Qi couldn't help asking: "I am in Bianliang, and I often hear Daliang insiders say that Daliang is the strongest, so it is the most jealous. They all want to knock down Daliang and divide a spoonful of the body of Daliang."
"This is indeed closely related to the position of Daliang, and it is also closely related to the history of Daliang's wealth. The decline of Li Tang was based on the rise of Zhu Liang. However, Li Tang is still there, and it is difficult for everyone to accept the result of Zhu Liang's gangs who are idle from the lower class but step on the glory of the Li Tang Dynasty. In addition, those who support Zhu Liang are basically butchers from the lower class and private salt dealers, so it is naturally difficult to get the acceptance of the aristocratic families." Jiang Feng shook his head, "This is also Zhu Liang's biggest shortcoming. Although other vassal families no longer care about Li Tang, only Zhu Liang really overturned Li Tang to the ground and stomped hard, completely pouring blood on the halo of the Li Tang royal family, making the Li Tang royal family pale. Therefore, among the vassals that advocate the righteousness, Zhu Liang is rebellious and unforgivable."
Jiang Feng's words also made everyone sigh and sigh. Zhu Liang's special history, coupled with its occupation of the Central Plains and being the most powerful vassal, has always become a thorn in the eyes of the vassals. The original ally of Heshuo Towns is now increasingly eroded by the northern Khitan, which also makes Zhu Liang's situation even more dangerous. It is really hard to say whether Zhu Liang can continue to persevere under such heavy pressure in the future.
Jiang Feng and his party chose to check in a hotel in Dongshi.
Logically speaking, as an official, Jiang Feng could stay in the inn, but Jiang Feng didn't want to attract attention at the inn, so he chose to stay in the hotel in Dongshi.
The east and west are not as prosperous and lively as the West City, but compared to Nanyang and Xizhou, I don’t know how prosperous it will be.
After entering the city to settle down, Jiang Feng went to Yuchi Wubing's house and went to Mingla, but unfortunately, Yuchi Wubing was not at home, so he had to go back and wait.
Jiang Feng felt that although Chang'an was in a deep and twilight atmosphere, it still retained the demeanor of a declining nobleman, especially the numerous palace walls and imperial cities, which had already informed the world that Li Tang Zhengshuo's inviolability.
He didn't know anything about Jiang Feng in Chang'an. Apart from Yuchi Wubing, he had no acquaintance, so of course Li Jin was not included.
At the same time, he also did not know much about the current operation regulations of the court in Li Tang. He was not clear about how these departments operated daily affairs.
So he can only go back to the hotel and wait.
************************************************************
"He's really here?"
Seeing the girl's expression of joy and excitement, Yuchi Wubing couldn't help but want to rub his face, so as not to have the bitter smile on his face too obvious, "Come on, his name has been sent to my house."
"Mingla? Is this guy also Mingla?" The girl showed a curious and funny expression on her face. "A little scout, she actually has Mingla. Oh, no, now she is the governor. Well, she is the governor of a newly built Xiaozhou. I really expect that in less than a year, this guy will be a fish jumping over the dragon gate, and the sparrow turns into a phoenix."
Yuchi Wubing couldn't help but sigh when he saw the joy in the girl's eyes.
He knew that the other party had a good impression of Jiang Feng, but it was just a good impression.
There are countless families of nobles and nobles in Chang'an, and their admirers of this Princess Jin can be said to be a clutch, and there are not many people who hope to become the son-in-law of the Li family's royal family.
Even King Li (Zhu Xie) Conghou, the King of Jin, was said to be moved by it. He once said that if he could marry Li Jin, he would be willing to divorce his wife and marry another. Of course, this is just a statement. His wife was An Chongrong's daughter, An Chongrong was an important official in the Li Siyuan era. He held heavy troops and was also Li Conghou's main supporter.
But we can also know from this that Li Jin's attraction to these vassal clans. With the identity of Li Tang's prince consort, the recognition of the vassal clans will undoubtedly increase greatly, but it will also bring an obvious impact, that is, you need to have a closer relationship with Li Tang and need to safeguard the interests of the Li family in Guanzhong.
"Xiao Jin, Jiang Erlang is no longer the Jiang Erlang a year ago. If you see him, you will find out how great his changes are." Yuchi Wubing shook his head, "He is not alone now. He has hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Zhouzhou. Well, he is even more of a group of civil servants and military generals under his command,..."
"It's only a year, how much change can he change?" The girl obviously didn't believe it. "Uncle Yuchi, you said there were hundreds of thousands of people in Xizhou, but that's just a group of people. It turns out that there was no such place as Xizhou at all. Well, a group of civil servants and military generals is really interesting. I didn't expect that he also had supporters."
Yuchi Wubing knew that Li Jin would definitely find it difficult to accept Jiang Feng's current identity and image. In her mind, Jiang Feng was still the same clown-like image as he was on the boat, and was still an insignificant weak man in front of him and her. He wanted to tell Li Jin that no, Jiang Feng was no longer the Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng's thoughts were cunning and deep, far beyond anyone's imagination. Even Yuchi Wubing, who had dealt with him twice, felt that he could not understand it.
Especially not only did the Du family attack Nanyang, but also a drama of flooding Wengangzha finally came, causing Nanyang to suffer heavy losses. It can be said that it was a turning point, greatly damaging the morale of the Nanyang army. For a team that had been smooth sailing before, the degree of its attack was unimaginable, especially the psychological blow. The impact effect it brought can be seen in the future. It was precisely because of this battle that the Nanyang army, which had already gained the upper hand, began to gradually fall into a disadvantage, step by step, and finally became a big loss and special loss. Only 9,000 troops had to return.
Who could have thought before that this would be done by Jiang Feng?
The Nanyang Army is still suspicious, suspecting that it was caused by the ant thief colluding with the water bandits, but many things cannot be explained. The Nanyang Party even suspected that it was Daliang's hand and footwork, especially the Tianxing Army's ordnance clothing was discovered.
The food supply line was cut off and the supply line was harassed. Nanyang also counted all the Du family members. The 1,000 Du family cavalry evacuated from Guangzhou became the best evidence. Even Yuchi Wubing felt distressed when he made such careful arrangements and deployments.
He sighed, Yuchi Wubing was unwilling to act too much in front of Li Jin, so he could only remind him: "Xiao Jin, Jiang Feng had intentions to come to Chang'an. Don't think that he was simply coming to this year's appointment. His status is different now. Guangzhou's current status is undecided. Uncle Yuchi promised two thousand Xiazhou war horses. Now he is coming to force us to fulfill his promise. You must be mentally prepared, and I am afraid the court will not easily agree to his request."
"Uncle Yuchi, that's your business. I won't ask about it. I also believe that Jiang Feng understands my identity and situation, so he won't ask me to do anything else, right?" The girl's face became a little dimmer, and she was a little depressed. "If a man blindly expects a woman to do anything for him, I think this man's achievements will be very limited."
When Yuchi Wubing saw the girl's expression change, he felt that the girl he had seen since childhood had no longer had the same simplicity and innocence as before. The invisible shackles bound to her made her smile less and less, and the royal family was also considering her marriage.
Political marriage is almost inevitable for girls. Whether it is with the nine noble families or with the children of external vassals, the Li Tang royal family needs to balance how to maximize the interests. Just as the marriage of the two older brothers of the girl needs to follow this principle, as a royal family, one must obey the interests of the royal family, especially in this era where it is unpredictable.
