Chapter 697(1/2)
Teaching Nephew
The existence of the Western Army was the result of Xiao Cheng's painstaking planning from the beginning.
Xiao Ding's Guangrui Army was led all the way from Hebei Road to Shaanxi Road. Xiao Cheng lost no idea how many hairs he lost to accomplish this task.
After Guang Rui's army arrived in the northwest, Xiao Cheng worked hard for them to gain a foothold and survive and develop here.
Build the Shentang Fort, hook up with Hengshan Dangxiang, dig a hole for Li Xu step by step, and then let that guy jump in.
The Guangrui Army took the place of the Xingnan Army and started a farming development model there.
In Xiao Cheng's heart, Xi Jun was really like one of his children.
Although this child is now far away from his parents,
But if the kid wants to break out,
Xiao Cheng would definitely not allow it.
Even when Xiao Cheng was in the most difficult time, he never relaxed his support for the Western Army.
Money, materials and even the most advanced ordnance manufacturing technology have always been devised to satisfy the Western Army.
But just as a child begins to become stronger and farther away, and at the same time there are many new friends around him, he feels that his strength is getting stronger and stronger, and he is no worse than his parents, so he wants to start his own business and get rid of his parents' wishes.
It becomes more and more intense. At this time, you need to slap him hard several times.
In the Western Army, old men like Tuoba Yangwei, Renduozhong, Yeliqi, Xifeng Ada, etc. were still full of awe of the Song Dynasty, because in the past, both Li Xu and Xiao Ding were just
With the strength of an army, they can be suppressed until they lose their temper.
Although only half of the Song Dynasty is left today, and its strength is far inferior to that of the past, the mere presence of Xiao Chongwen in power is enough to make them think twice.
On the contrary, those rising stars do not have so many old worries and believe that the current competition between the two powers is the best opportunity for them to become independent.
As soon as it started to dawn, Xiao Jing got up from his bed, neatly dressed in his shorts, and went straight out the door to the backyard.
The ground is made of three-piece earth, which is extremely solid. There are several rows of weapon racks on the side, with eighteen kinds of weapons. There are also some equipment that are hard to see outside but that Xiao Jing is very familiar with.
For example, barbells, dumbbells, parallel bars, horizontal bars, etc.
In the palace of Xingqing Mansion, these things are also available. According to my parents, these things that are still very novel outside were prepared by my second uncle in the palace when he was very young. Later, Xiao
I decided to try it and found it very effective, so I started learning it.
However, there was already someone in the backyard at this time. Standing at the door of the moon, Xiao Jing recognized at a glance that it was his second uncle, Xiao Cheng.
Even though they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, Xiao Jing knew it at a glance.
I drank a few more drinks last night. Speaking of my aunt's drinking capacity, it was really scary. Xiao Ning, the little girl, was also adding fuel to the flames. As a grown man, I was actually drunk by them and became a little confused.
Otherwise, I should have seen my second uncle last night.
Xiao Cheng turned around, looked at Xiao Jing who was a little stunned, and said with a smile: "Why did you get up so early? Your aunt said you drank too much."
Xiao Jing was a little shocked, his face was hot, and he said: "I get up at this time every day to do morning classes. I'm used to it. My nephew is really rude. I should have paid my respects to my second uncle last night!"
"There are so many rules in a family. Naturally, we can do whatever feels comfortable! Your mother's place is fine, but the rules are too big. When I was at home in Tokyo, what I was most afraid of was my mother. She spoke softly.
You are petty, and you are not annoyed, but every sentence is used to poke your weakness and make you unable to argue!" Xiao Cheng jumped up, hung himself on the horizontal bar, faced Xiao Jing, and said with a smile
: "Is she still like that now?"
Xiao Jing couldn't help laughing. Xiao Cheng was really right. Even his father was a little afraid of his mother.
"Do you want to compete?" Looking at his nephew, Xiao Cheng smiled and said, "Are you familiar with how to play these things? I guess you can't compare with your father, and you should be a little worse than me!"
Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows, looking at Xiao Cheng's well-proportioned figure with clear lines and full of strength, he knew that his uncle must often play with these things, but how much time can a civil servant have to indulge in them?
?
And I am the strongest among them.
Among the Western Army, there are not many warriors who are truly stronger than himself.
Although I am not as good as me, I am still a rare warrior.
He was eager to give it a try and said, "Second uncle, my nephew won't let you!"
Xiao Cheng laughed loudly: "Boy, it's a good thing to be confident, but if you are too confident, that's pride. Today, let's see your second uncle teach you a lesson!
Then, Xiao Jing was taught a lesson.
He was crushed from all sides.
Not only on these equipment, but also in the next hand-to-hand fight, he was fully trying to win the game, but he was also pinned to the ground by Xiao Cheng and rubbed hard.
Lying on the ground and looking at the blue sky, Xiao Jing really couldn't understand. Isn't his second uncle a good reader?
My parents never said that my second uncle was actually a master of fighting!
But looking at the second uncle's techniques, it is clear that he has been immersed in this for many years. His techniques are mature and experienced, and every move is extremely vicious.
The high-spirited boy of eighteen was taught a lesson by the strong man in his early thirties, and he was convinced.
My second uncle is really a freak!
A big hand stretched out in front of him, and Xiao Cheng's smiling face appeared in front of him.
Using the strength to jump up, Xiao Jing shook his head repeatedly: "Second uncle, you are really good at pretending. Is this pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger? If an assassin touches your face and wants to kill him, I'm afraid he will be filled with joy.
Then came the overwhelming fear.”
Xiao Jing shook his head: "I practice martial arts just to strengthen my body, not to plot against any assassin. As the chief assistant of the Song Dynasty, your second uncle really let the assassin touch my side. That would be too shameless. It's better to let him
The assassin will kill you with one stab."
Xiao Jing heard this interestingly and couldn't help laughing.
"Look, after Tokyo was destroyed and Jiangning was established, I announced the names of a hundred traitors and traitors. The highest they killed could earn them a title of marquis, and the lowest they could win a county barony. But look at these years, you can
Has anyone ever succeeded? Those people are like this, let alone assassinate me!"
"That's true!" Xiao Jing nodded and said: "Just like our Daxia Palace, it looks calm and peaceful from the outside, nothing special, but in fact the security is tighter than people imagine."
Xiao Cheng grabbed the parallel bars with both hands and jumped lightly, sitting on top. He turned around and waved to Xiao Jing to sit on it too.
Xiao Jing was slightly startled, but looking at the calm Xiao Cheng above him, he finally jumped up and sat on it.
He looked Xiao Jing up and down. Even though he was his biological second uncle, under the gaze of those eyes, Xiao Jing felt a little at a loss.
"Do you know why your father asked you to come here?" Xiao Cheng suddenly asked.
Xiao Jing was speechless and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
You must know that when he came, his master Zhang Yuan told him that he wanted him to find out the truth of the Song Dynasty to facilitate the Western Army to make decisions. Which path should be taken next? But how should he say this to his second uncle?
?
"Do you want to be the emperor?" Xiao Cheng asked the second time, which made Xiao Jing even more stunned.
"I..." I wanted to deny it, but looking at the eyes opposite me, Xiao Jing hesitated again.
Yes, he really thought so.
The King of Great Xia, Xiao Ding, is now entrenched in the northwest. He has marched to the Western Regions and is powerful in Qingtang. He has hundreds of thousands of men who control strings under his command. He travels thousands of miles across the region. And he, Xiao Jing, the eldest son of the King of Great Xia, and his uncle are the capital of the Song Dynasty.
, my aunt is the Empress Dowager Chengtian of Daliao, why can’t she be the emperor?
"It seems that I have really thought about it!" Xiao Cheng smiled and said: "Jing'an, do you know your second uncle's dream when I was a child?"
"I know!" Xiao Jing said: "Father told me that you have been thinking about letting the Song Dynasty dominate the world since you were a child, and you have been quietly making plans, whether it is military or economic. The Guangrui Army moved westward.
You worked hard to plan. Without you, the Western Army would not be what it is today."
Xiao Cheng smiled: "Your father only knows one thing, but not the other. Unifying the Song Dynasty is just a dream of mine, but it is not my ultimate goal!"
"This doesn't count? Then what goal can be bigger than this goal?" Xiao Jing was at a loss.
"Of course." Xiao Cheng said: "My dream since childhood is to control my own destiny instead of in the hands of others. My life and death, honor and disgrace, can be decided by myself instead of others.
What you say is final!"
"You also want to be the emperor?" Xiao Jing's eyes widened. In his opinion, his own destiny is in his own hands. Isn't that something that only the supreme emperor in the world can do?
Xiao Cheng laughed loudly: "Why do you want to be the emperor? Jing'an, since I was a child, I have thought that it would be enough for the Holy Emperor to rule from the top down. This world should be left to talented people to govern."
"Like you are now?"
The current little emperor in Jiangning and the little emperor in Zhongjing of the Liao Kingdom are actually the same in essence. They are both clay bodhisattvas who are at the mercy of others.
"Do you think that in Jiangning, I can make decisions with a single word and be a powerful minister?"
Xiao Jing smiled and said nothing.
"Then you are wrong." Xiao Cheng said: "Since opening up the Guizhou Road, I have been working hard to establish a new system. All things must not be decided by one person, but need to be determined.
Relying on a system or a group to make decisions together. One person's skills are weak, and everyone's skills are strong. Only by filling in the gaps can the long-term success be achieved. The reason why the outside world thinks that I alone have the final say on everything in Jiangning is because until now
So far, your second uncle and I have not made any mistakes on major policies. There are always more people who support me than those who oppose me, so whatever your second uncle wants to do can be realized. But Jing'an, if
One day, there are more people who oppose me than those who support me, then your second uncle and I will have to step down and replace someone with more support."
"Aren't you afraid of people taking political risks?"
