Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 252

Wang Xiu tapped a few cases with her fingertips, without squinting, staring straight at the gray ground for a while, and said slowly: "Young Fu, Zheng Juzhong, and Mr. Zheng Xiang are in charge of the Privy Council, and are in charge of military affairs such as the requisition and distribution of troops and horses, and the allocation of grain and grass. Officials, served as Xuanfu envoys of the Jiang, Huai, Jing, and Zhejiang roads, and Tan Zhen Tan Daguan was changed to be the envoy of the Erzhe Road system. Well, the officials are mobilizing the troops from the six roads of Gyeonggi and Shaanxi to prepare for the Northern Expedition. It is estimated that they will be able to leave early next year. Go south to suppress the rebellion."

"Although I am not talented, I have been awarded the title of the Xuanfu Division's battalion military commander, and [-] soldiers and horses are restrained to go south first. That is to say, they can give priority to selecting elite soldiers from various ministries to serve as the Xuanfu Division's front battalion army."

Needless to say, it was too clear. Song Jiang and others suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Wang Xiu was so calm. It turned out that they had planned a long time ago, and the quota of 3000 soldiers and horses was enough for them to settle down.There are not too many elites in the Liguojian, and Wang Xiu can only select two to three thousand people. The original elites they bring out are only a few thousand people, which means that the brothers can still get together and make contributions together. Then he was sent to various places and lived in fear all day long.

As for the arrangement after victory and returning to the court, it is out of their consideration. Being able to suppress the rebellion for the court already has the capital to survive, but military power is a burden, and it is easy to be suspected by the court. It is better to enjoy the glory and wealth with peace of mind.

Wang Xiu could see from their expressions that her words had worked. A war against the rebellion was enough for them to redeem themselves. What more do you want?Human nature is so ridiculous. Song Jiang and most people are not rebellious, but rebellious. Forced by the current situation, they have to embark on the road of opposing the court.

To put it bluntly, it is to attract the attention of the court and seek a fortune for himself.Therefore, as long as there is a ray of hope, so that their lives are guaranteed and they can enjoy the glory and wealth in the rest of their lives, I believe that few people will refuse.

"It's just that the next civil servant is respectfully in charge of the battalion, soldiers and horses. I hope that Song Dujian can give me more advice."

Song Jiang was awarded the sub-dujian of the East and West Roads of Beijing, from the seventh rank of the Road Dujian, even if he is a marginalized military officer, it is said that his rank is already higher than that of Wang Xiu.

However, Wang Xiu was appointed by the imperial court as the governor of the Xuanfu envoy, a Jinshi and a scholar, a literati enlisted in the army, and led his ministers to lead the army. His status was much higher than that of a military officer.Don't say anything else, but from the line of command, Wang Xiu belongs to the sequence of the Xuanfu envoy, and belongs to the capital supervisor of the camp, while Song Jiang is the capital prison stationed in Bo. He is only a general and must obey the command of the Xuanfu envoy.

The official position of Dujian has long been different from what it used to be. If it was in the early Song Dynasty, it would definitely be a prominent position. However, with the deployment of the capital, it was gradually replaced by civilian officials. Re-dividing civil and military powers, military officers and military powers are divided, making deployment, capital supervision and other positions useless, almost equivalent to honorary positions, without any control, that is, inspections still have some authority.

How could Song Jiang not understand the truth, and said honestly: "My lord is polite, and I will definitely help you with all my strength to suppress the banditry on the Liangzhe Road."

"Okay, there are some things that need to be carefully considered, but time doesn't wait. The matter of selecting elite soldiers, I need to ask the three of you to proceed quickly, so that we can go south as soon as possible." Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Wang Xiu didn't hesitate anymore. Now the right way is to select elite soldiers. Without elite soldiers who have fought a hundred battles, you are purely giving food to the south of the Yangtze River.

After a banquet finally broke up, Wang Xiu returned to Hou Ya, but saw Youqin Moyan and Qin Xianrong drinking tea and talking and laughing. He pushed the door open and said with a smile: "What are you talking about?"

When Youqin Moyan saw Wang Xiu coming in, he stood up to meet him with a smile on his face, and said, "I'm not talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here."

Qin Xianrong stood up reservedly, her beautiful eyes radiated infinite concern, all of which fell on Wang Xiu.And that little bit of envy.

"I just finished my business, so I'm rushing back here." Wang Xiu didn't dare to look at Qin Xianrong more, she stared at Qin Xianrong with sloppy eyes, and Qin Moyan's eyes fell on his face, women's stomachs were full of vinegar bottles.

But how could his eyes escape Youqin Moyan, she rolled her eyes, and said: "I smell of alcohol all day long, and I don't see anyone, I don't know what to do. It's better to fight, my third sister and I are still a little busy, look at it now Appears flustered."

Wang Xiu giggled, and said very unkindly: "Then you call the eldest sister, and quickly set up an iron smelting workshop together, so that you don't have to be idle all day."

"Officials are busy with important matters, eldest sister don't talk about it anymore." Qin Xianrong's eyes flashed to Wang Xiu, and he couldn't help but help.

"Third sister is helping brother talk again." Youqin Moyan gouged out Qin Xianrong's eyes, poured tea for Wang Xiu, and said with a smile: "Since third sister has said it, I won't nag this time."

"Thank you, sister." Wang Xiu said, casting a grateful look at Qin Xianrong, woman, it's really troublesome!
Youqin Moyan didn't go to see it again, but said: "Third sister is going back to Tokyo tomorrow, the officials will see if they can send someone to escort her."

"Oh, you're going back so soon?" Wang Xiu looked at Qin Xianrong in surprise, her dark face paled a little, she suddenly felt a slip of the tongue, and immediately changed her words: "Hey, I mean it's good for Mrs. Qin to go back. Kaifeng, Tokyo is safer."

Qin Xianrong frowned slightly, with a little disappointment in his expression, and said softly: "The officials are worrying too much, they have disturbed the officials for many days, if you don't go back, Miss Thirteen should complain."

Wang Xiu glanced at Youqin Moyan in embarrassment, Qin Xianrong was also a little bit nasty, and he mentioned the concubine in front of the old woman, I really don't know if it was on purpose.But Qin Xianrong's departure made him feel a little sad, and the feelings of suffering for many days, the busy figures of Qin Xianrong and Youqin Moyan were imprinted in his heart early.

If there is a comparison between the women who flashed his eyes, Youqin Moyan needless to say, Wen Xijun has gradually become a branch of the royal family's business, a concubine that has not yet been recognized, but is already indispensable; Zhu Lian , has long since turned into an old dream, his longing has become much calmer, and he no longer thinks about it, but he gradually attaches importance to Qin Xianrong, and seems to have an unspeakable idea, but he is still unable to make up his mind .

Feeling the ambiguous atmosphere, Youqin Moyan smiled and said, "I'll make some soup for the officials first, and the third sister will help me make tea for the officials." After talking, he went out and muttered: "You men, what's the use of wine? It's delicious, I have to drink it, can't I have some tea and wine?
In all fairness, she didn't want to share Wang Xiu with other women, but Qin Xianrong was affectionate and righteous, and she was moved by getting along day and night for many days, so she accepted Qin Xianrong from the bottom of her heart and gave them the space to be alone.

"Miss Qin, take care along the way." The atmosphere was awkward, and Wang Xiu didn't know what to say.

Qin Xianrong glanced at Wang Xiu with concern, his face was flushed, and he didn't make a sound.

Wang Xiu thought for a while, then said: "Miss Qin, there is one thing I don't know if I should say it or not."
