Chapter 149 Request for Reward
Although Wu Yong and Lin Chong also drank a lot of wine, they were still clear-headed and didn't think about other people's fantasy.
Because both of them, together with Zhu Wu and Gongsun Sheng, are the people who know Song Qing best. Several of them also don't believe that Song Qing has no ambition, but they believe that as Song Qing said, the time is not yet ripe.
Today's world is about to become a pot of porridge. There are golden people looking at it in the north, and the Song Dynasty in the south that still does not fall down despite the wind and rain. Not to mention other forces, now only Shandong resolutely supports Liangshan. I'm afraid other places don't know what Liangshan does! If Song Qing is put on the top at this time, he will undoubtedly be roasted on the fire.
So the two ignored everyone's hot eyes and shook their heads firmly after looking at each other.
Pei Xuan pondered for a moment, approached Wu Yong and whispered, "Old scholar, the credit of the brothers is getting bigger and bigger day by day. It is not a way to suppress it like this. It seems that the current identity can no longer be rewarded, so is the old scholar trying to find a way?"
To put it bluntly, I still want Song Qing to take office, but Pei Xuan's words are not unreasonable. Liang Shanzhong will attack the city and resist foreign captivity. Speaking of which, the credit is not small. The problem is that in the official position, Song Qing is just a general manager and can't reward everyone justly. This is indeed a problem.
"What are you muttering about?"
Song Qing noticed the situation on their side and interrupted with a smile.
Wu used to be cunning and said quietly, "We are discussing this war. Who is the most responsible for this war? How will the chief manager award it?"
Pei Xuan secretly picked his thumb. He was worthy of being a military division. He was really a ghost and didn't ask the general manager to take office at all. However, if the general manager doesn't understand any more, he may have a problem with his head.
Song Qing's expression couldn't help but stiffen. To be honest, it's not that he hasn't thought about this problem, but he has always been afraid to face it, or even escaping.
When I was an emperor, I thought about it in my dream, but now is by no means the time. But now that I haven't raised the flag to rebel, and I still hold the official position of the Song Dynasty, then the question arises. In what capacity should I reward the generals?
But if you always hang up the credit of the generals and only draw a big cake for them. In the long run, who would like to follow you?
Wu pinched his sparse beard and meditated for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "General Manager, how do you think the court will react after learning that we have defeated the golden soldiers?"
Song Qing understood a little that Wu used what he meant to threaten the court to make himself an official. However, he didn't know much about the official position of the Song Dynasty, and he couldn't figure out what official to ask. After thinking about it for a while, he asked Wu to do it by himself. He went to drink with the generals.
Wu pulled Pei Xuan and called Zhu Wu, Xiao Rang, Chai Jin and Chen Dong. Several people discussed it, and then Xiao Rang wrote a memorial to the old emperor.
The main idea is that Song Qing's hard work is high, that is, to resist foreign aggression by the imperial court and promote the prestige of the Song Dynasty outside the country. Such meritorious officials should be greatly rewarded. Therefore, please issue an order to add the title of Song Qing's right to know Shandong affairs, Kaifu Yitong three divisions, and add the title of the Ministry of Military Affairs.
This official position is amazing. If the court agrees, Song Qing will really become the king of Shandong who is in charge of the army and the people.
Although the official position is not small, Wu Yong and others believe that the old emperor will agree. After all, you are wrong first. Why don't you give some compensation now?
This memorial was not sent by Liang Shan's own people, but to Wang Shiyong, who came from Dengzhou. I believe that when the prince and the old emperor saw Wang Shiyong and this memorial, they knew what to do.
After the celebration banquet, Liang Shan's generals began a new round of intensive training for the soldiers. It turns out that Song Qing's prediction is right, so we must improve our strength to cope with larger-scale wars in the future.
Liang Shan collected nearly 60,000 war horses from the golden soldiers this time, and more than 40,000 were available. Therefore, Song Qing decided to expand the number of cavalry to 30,000, and the rest of the war horses were distributed to the garrison of the state governments, and the injured war horses were sold to the merchants and the common people at a discount.
According to the proposal of the old general Huyanzhuo, another 5,000 of the 30,000 cavalry were selected for heavy cavalry training. As for the heavy infantry he proposed, it was not adopted by Song Qing.
Song Qing has read the heavy armored infantry with a strange knife in the novel. The novel describes that this kind of heavy armored infantry is the nemesis of cavalry. But he doesn't think so. No matter how heavy the armor is, it is also flesh and blood. If there is no gunpowder, it may be a choice from time to time. Nowadays, firearms are so developed that it is good to use flesh and blood to resist the impact of war horses.
In this battle with Jin Bing, Wu Yong and others carried out Song Qing's will well and did not use firearms on a large scale, so when fighting against Jin Bing again, once the firearms come on the field, it will certainly have an unexpected effect.
The training of infantry is mainly to cooperate with cavalry and attack high-city ports. At the same time, it strengthens discipline and obedience to avoid a swarm of bees on the battlefield.
The news of Liangshan's training day and night, together with the memorial drafted by Wu, was sent to the old emperor's dragon book case.
The old emperor's first reaction was that there was something wrong with Song Qing's head. Is he stupid? If I give you such a big official position, who can cure you in the future? Isn't it right for you to change your name?
The old emperor is indeed not stupid, because he quickly reacted that Liang Shan was threatening himself! Originally, Jin Bing was expected to destroy the needle that pierced his heart. At worst, he would give Jin more money to buy back the land occupied by Liang Shan, just like buying back those states. But I didn't expect that the invincible golden soldier would be destroyed by Liang Shan.
After Liang Shan fought off the golden soldiers, he began to train people. What do they want to do? Do you really want to raise the flag to rebel? If they are really against each other, who can compete with them?
The more the old emperor wanted to get angry, the cheeks soon swollen.
He covered his cheeks with his hand and said to Liang Shicheng, who was standing beside him, with his eyes tilted: "Liang Ban! Liang Shan is now like my teeth, which is becoming more and more difficult to cure. What good ideas do you have?
Liang Shicheng turned his eyes and said, "If you go back to the official family, the old slave is good at waiting for the official family. If you want to talk about national affairs, you can't do it. If the old slave finds Lord Wang Fu for you? With his wisdom of planning the country, there must be a way to solve the problems of the official family."
The old emperor stared at Liang Shicheng and said to himself that he usually didn't see you talk less. When he mentioned Liang Shan like this, he was fart? However, it is true that Lao Wang has a way to help him complete things that his ancestors can't do. It should not be difficult to come up with a way to deal with Liang Shan, right?
Thinking of this, he ordered Wang Fu to enter the meeting. But he didn't notice the gloomy smile at the corner of Liang Shicheng's mouth.
With that unnecessary credit, Wang Fu actually began not to pay attention to Liang Shicheng. Is Lao Liang a willing to be aggrieved? A group of court members have already been contacted and the plan to overthrow the king has been carried out intensively.
Wang Fu has indeed been a little flustered recently. He doesn't care about someone impeaching him to buy back the land with money. Anyway, with the old emperor, what can you do with me?
When he heard the emperor's biography, he immediately came to wait. However, after hearing the reason for the old emperor's upset, he was also dumbfounded. I said that you two have never played together. Do you want me to find a way for you? What can I do?
His eyes swept over Liang Shicheng, and Wang Fu immediately understood that the dead eunuch was playing tricks. Suddenly, he was furious and wanted to expose his collusion with Liang Shan, but then he pressed this unwise idea.
Do you think Liang Shicheng colluded with Liang Shan? What about the evidence? It can't be said that Wang Fu himself was also present at that time, right?
I hate it secretly, but I also know that I can't shake the status of the eunuch for the time being, but it doesn't matter. The days are still long!
frowned and meditated for a while and said, "Your Majesty, with all due respect, the court army is busy suppressing the rebellion today, so it is temporarily unable to take care of Liang Shan's bandits, but it is absolutely impossible to agree to this almost idiot's request. The minister's idea is to drag it to the army of the imperial court to free up his hands, and His Majesty is rich all over the world. His Majesty can afford to drag it. How can Liangshan drag over the imperial court in a corner? When the time is ripe, we will be able to annihilate the Liangshan thieves in one fell swoop"
Wang Fu didn't know who the old emperor was most afraid of now that the imperial treasury was full and full of fart! I can't even send any money.
Frowning and waiting to scold Wang Fu, someone outside the hall suddenly said loudly, "This is the words of the country, and my father must not believe it."
Everyone turned their heads and looked, but saw Prince Zhao Huan strode in from outside the hall. After saluteing the old emperor first, they turned to Wang Fu and said, "Lord Wang know how much the imperial treasury has reached? If it goes on, I'm afraid that the city can't even get a taels of silver back."
Zhao Huan hasn't told his father about Mingzhou, so the old emperor still doesn't know that the city that most silver to the court has been sealed by Liang Shan.
After asking Zhao Huan in detail, the old emperor almost lost his anger. Now there is chaos, and the tax money in many places can't be sent to the capital, and Liangshan has closed the sea road again. Song Qing wants my life!
After all, he was used to being a turtle, and soon suppressed the fire and said to Zhao Huan patiently, "What's the prince's strategy?"
Zhao Huan sighed. He didn't expect that things would develop to this point today. Jin Bing retreated. What did Liang Shan and Li Bing Ma want to do? The answer seems to be ready to come out. If he doesn't agree to Song Qing's conditions, Liang Shan may really be able to do anything.
He arched his hand and said, "Father, what my son means is that you might as well agree to him first. Anyway, it won't cost the court anything. What the court needs to do now is to nourish its energy and cultivate its spirit. It's really not appropriate to make a big move."
It's still his son who knows himself!
After sighing, the old emperor became a shopkeeper, handed over all the matters related to Liangshan to the prince, and went back to continue to cultivate immortals.
Zhao Huan bowed down to see his father away, turned around and smiled at Wang Fu, "Lord Wang is ready to be loyal to the new prince?"
Wang Fu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the prince's words. He was indeed very close to several princes, but he never thought about changing the prince. Where did the prince's words come from?
He knew that Liang Shicheng, his son, had ordered someone to secretly forge a secret letter that he wanted to be loyal to King Yun and support King Yun as the crown prince, and then accidentally got it by the prince.
It has endangered his own safety. Why doesn't Zhao Huan hate him? Wang Fu's evidence is also being collected, and he will be taken down in one fell swoop when the evidence is conclusive.
Wang Fu is really at the end of the road.
