Chapter 99 Women's Army
Lao Niu's words moved Qin Lang very much.
After thinking for a long time, Qin Lang turned his attention to Zheng Xuanli.
"Mr. Zheng, please send me a thank-you letter to Chang'an to present it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The situation is like this. Although Qin Lang is not capable, he cannot retreat in the face of danger. He can only push forward. If the Turks want to invade Youzhou and Hebei, they must first step over my body."
"I am grateful for the prince's appreciation. I have taken over the errands from Youzhou, but I dare not accept the rewards from Your Highness. Wang Junkuo's 1,000 households are actually granted, but I dare not accept them. Wang Junkuo's family's servants, money, silk, etc., are not afraid to accept them. For the time being, Li Yuan's money and money are filled into the Youzhou treasury as a reward for quelling the rebellion and as well as food and grass rewards for the anti-Turkish people."
When Zheng Xuanli saw that Qin Lang had directly rejected the real title and property of Wang Junkuo who was rewarded to him, he couldn't help but exclaim that this kid was really a bit good, not as young and ignorant as he seemed. Although the prince rewarded him, if he really dared to accept it, he would have a real title of 1,600 real titles, which would become the subject with the most real titles under the royal family in the court.
And how could Qin Lang be so destined to be so many? The true title of Princess Changle before has made many ministers jealous and dissatisfied. If Qin Lang dares to take over these thousand households again, he will be drooled.
"Duke Yiguo, this is the reward of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He has issued an imperial edict, so why refuse?"
"In the face of national crisis, I, Qin Lang, should think about the country. How could I think about these things?" After Qin Lang finished speaking, he wrote a thank-you form and a brief stamp to Li Shimin.
Qin Lang is too lazy to pay more attention to this guy who sells his daughter.
After sending him away, he began to send people to summon Shuangshiluo, Guo Xiaoke, Cheng Mingzhen, Su Dingfang, Qi Shanxing, Wang Junye, Qiu Shi and other governors to Youzhou for discussions.
Backyard of the Governor's Office.
Dou Hongxin is packing his luggage and is preparing to return to Mingzhou.
Qin Lang came in with the crown prince's reward order.
"Aunt, the prince was very happy to hear that I, Uncle Luo, had a queen, and specially appointed Taiping Lang as Duke of Tan. In addition, I heard that my aunt came out to help quell the Youzhou rebellion. The prince called the ministers the ministers that although Duke Dou was rebellious at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he could implement benevolent government in Hebei and win the hearts of the people...."
Dou Hongxin put down his luggage and sat there silent for a long time.
"I am very grateful to the prince for allowing Taipinglang to inherit Luo Lang's title, but I am not grateful for his posthumous gift to my father. This is just a means of him bribing the hearts of Hebei people and making a show for the world. As for accepting me as his adopted daughter? Did he ask me for my consent?"
Qin Lang had long expected Dou Hongxian to be of this attitude, so he advised kindly, "Auntie, there is an old saying that success and kings will be defeated. Those who have always failed in fighting for the world, whether benevolent or cruel, will eventually be stepped on by the winners and thrown a lot of dirty water. Now the prince can rehabilitate the King of Xia and give a good posthumous title. He also needs to be buried with the ritual of the king of Xia and sent me a grand ceremony to establish a temple for the King of Xia in Hebei. This is extremely rare. Aunt, who can do this from ancient times to this point?"
"If King Xia knows it under the nine springs, I'm afraid he will be moved. As it is, my aunt considers the name behind King Xia and the future of Taipinglang. It's better to accept the order to thank him. The prince said that if my aunt is unwilling to go to Chang'an, she will not force her. Six hundred households are truly sealed and three thousand acres of land can be chosen in Hebei."
"Besides, the emperor was the one who wanted to kill King Xia back then, and the prince could not go against his will at that time. Now that the emperor is still there, the prince can rehabilitate the King of Xia, which is extremely rare."
Dou Hongxin sighed, "I have to thank him if I say so?"
"My nephew asked my aunt to accept the imperial edict and express gratitude. This is not only a private matter, but also a major event in the entire Hebei world. My aunt also knows that the Turkic invasion is imminent, and we now need to unite the entire Hebei to defend against the Turkic. The former old subordinates of King Xia, Li Yi's old subordinates, and even Wang Junguo's old subordinates, must unite if they can unite. As long as everyone is willing to resist the Turkic together and prevent the Turkic iron hooves from ravaging Hebei, then we should all let go of our past grudges, do you think so?"
These words are to suppress personal grudges with righteousness.
Dou Hongshi could not refute it either.
"I can accept the imperial edict or express my gratitude, but I will not go to Chang'an, let alone call Li Shimin a father."
"You can do this in private."
"Auntie, I have a request, I want my aunt to return to Mingzhou later."
Qin Lang proposed to let Dou Hongxian be his general, mainly by using her fame to call on the reorganization of the old subordinates of the King of Xia in Hebei.
"Now Hebei has limited troops and is not affiliated with each other. I was ordered to govern Youzhou in the face of danger and comfort Hebei. These troops must be united, otherwise the Turks will be defeated without attacking them."
"I am a woman!"
"Auntie trained the Detachment of Women in the Xia King's Army and led the rear army. She also launched an attack and made many military achievements, which was admired by the soldiers."
"Dingfang has great prestige in the army, just ask him to reorganize them."
"General Su and his aunt will be like a tiger with wings."
In fact, the most suitable general in Youzhou at this time should be Li Yi. He controlled Youzhou for more than ten years from the end of the Sui Dynasty to the fifth year of Wude. When Dou Jiande was the strongest, he almost unified Hebei, but there was still no way to deal with Youzhou.
If Luo Yi returned to Youzhou, he was afraid that the Turks would not dare to invade them at all.
However, Li Shimin's mutiny changed and seized the throne, his foundation was unstable and he did not dare to send Luo Yi to Youzhou when foreign enemies attacked.
Even the generals of the former Luo Yi, Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun, dare not send them.
For the same reason, Li Shimin dared not send people such as Liu Hongji, Changsun Shunde, Chai Shao, Shi Wanbao, Qian Jiulong and Fan Xing.
I would rather let these people stay in Chang'an than let these people come out to the front line to command and take charge.
If another Wang Junkuo appears, it will be an urgent matter between internal and external affairs.
Even Li Xiaogong and Li Shimin, who are extremely capable of fighting in the royal family, dare not mention a single word.
After Li Yuan and Wang Junkuo's rebellion broke out, Li Shimin originally relaxed a little about the emperor's elders and princelings, but immediately broke the string tighter.
For Li Shimin, defending against the Turks is important, but he must first stabilize his position.
At this time, Qin Qiong was in charge of Liangzhou, Li Jing was in charge of Lingzhou, Li Shiji was in charge of Bingzhou, Yuchi Gong led his troops to guard the northwest of Chang'an to monitor Li Yi in Jingzhou, Hou Junji was in charge of Weibei, monitored Chai Shao in Qizhou, and Qu Tutong was in charge of Luoyang, guarding the east side of Chang'an.
Cheng Yaojin guards Chang'an.
For Li Shimin, letting Qin Lang come to prosecut the Youzhou Governor and comfort Hebei was a helpless move. Some people persuaded him to choose one of the generals in Hebei to preside over the Hebei side. However, among the old ministers of Qiandi who Li Shimin could trust in Hebei, there were two of the two Shishi Luo and Qiu Shi, others such as Guo Xiaoke and Cheng Mingzhen, one was originally the subordinate of Li Mi and Xu Shiji, and the other surrendered by Dou Jiande. He had never even seen Cheng Mingzhen once.
Qi Shanxing was originally the prime minister of Dou Jiande, and Wang Junye was the deputy general of Wang Junguo.
Shuang Shiluo and Qiu Shi were the governor of Jizhou and the other was the governor of Dingzhou. The two were brave but lacked command ability. After thinking about it, Li Shimin simply asked Qin Lang to preside over Hebei. The province's Hebei generals were dissatisfied with each other.
No matter what, Qin Lang was young and had little qualifications, but for this reason, his presence in Youzhou meant that he was completely Li Shimin's confidant and a close minister. This was the same as sending eunuchs to supervise the army in other dynasties. In fact, he was also responsible for commanding wars.
Of course, there is another reason, and Li Shimin felt that since Qin Lang could pacify Wang Junkuo and Li Yuan's rebellion so shortly and quickly, it fully demonstrated that Qin Lang's ability is still very strong, and even Wang Junkuo is indifferent, so that the Double Shiluo and the others can't do this.
In the Youzhou Governor's Office, Qin Lang sat in that position and felt nothing was worth being excited about. He began to feel heavy pressure.
Wei Zheng, Cui Dunli and other subordinates presented various reports to him and placed them on his case to read the documents.
After Qin Lang looked through it for a while, he simply stopped looking.
If you do this yourself, you won’t have to do anything. You can read and review documents here all day.
"Have a meeting!"
As a boss, you must know how to lead, which means how to assign tasks.
The Youzhou Governor's Office has just undergone relegation and now it only governs six states, basically these border states south of Yanshan.
In addition to the military affairs of the six states, the Youzhou Governor's Office is in charge of the military affairs, and it also has two brands and one set of personnel in the office.
The Governor's Office and the State Office jointly operated. After an internal strife, many Li Yuan, Wang Shen and Wang Junkuo's confidants were killed. Fortunately, Qin Lang brought a lot of people to him and temporarily filled them.
In the conference hall of the Governor's Office, all the officials of grades participated in the meeting, and even some important officials knelt down behind to attend the meeting.
"The civil strife has been settled, and the enemy is in front of me. I am following the imperial edict of the prince, I will hold a ritual to the governor of Youzhou to comfort Shandong and Hebei. Now there are so many things that we are busy all day long, but I want to say a few words, there must be a priority, otherwise I will be in vain."
"The most urgent task at the moment is that we will do three things first. The first thing is to send the rewards to quell the chaos first, and we must send them in place to encourage morale in the army. Second, we must immediately recruit troops and reorganize troops and horses, and quickly transform the troops and horses of several major systems that were not subordinate to each other into wartime battalions, and deploy them immediately. Third, we must keep up with the supply of military logistics and logistics transfers!"
"Everyone, from now on, let's do these three things first, and do these three things for me in advance."
"Your chief clerk of Wei, you are the Sima of the Governor's Office, will be responsible for checking the achievements of quelling the chaos and then giving rewards. It must be fast, and it must be open, fair and just, and the list must be made public."
"Governor Niu, you are the governor of Beiyanzhou and are also the general sent by the prince. I will add another burden to you and temporarily give you the Sima of the Youzhou Governor's Office. You are responsible for convening troops and reorganizing various departments, and deploying garrisons."
"Chief Li, you are the Chief of the Governor's Office specially sent by His Highness the Crown Prince. Now I ask you to be responsible for logistics, money, food, and weapons affairs."
