So, he said helplessly, "It's fine as long as the prince is happy, but don't let it delay government affairs."
Wang Yue could hear Chen Qingzhi's helplessness, and he said with a smile, "This dance competition is good for us."
Chen Qingzhi frowned and asked uncertainly, "Benefits? What benefits?"
Wang Yue sighed and said helplessly, "Our army lacks middle-level officers and senior generals. It's not because of insufficient military merit, but because of their lack of military strength."
Chen Qingzhi immediately understood Wang Yue's intention, and he couldn't help but clap his hands and exclaim, "Your Majesty, this is a brilliant move!
We can offer a large sum of money as a reward to those who perform outstandingly in the military training ground, and then select some who are willing to serve in the army.
This will improve the combat effectiveness of our army, even though these people may not know any tactics, they just need to follow orders. "
Wang Yue thought so too. A general only needs to be brave, while a marshal needs to consider tactics.
In this way, the Kingdom of Yue was able to gather many martial arts masters, whether it was the Jinyiwei or the army, they could get help from many masters.
After the two of them had discussed it, Chen Qianzhi took it to the small cabinet to discuss it, and then announced the rules of the Heroes Conference to the public.
……
Daliang, Imperial Palace, Yixian Hall,
Emperor Liang moved the place where he handled government affairs here. It was cooler here than Wuying Palace, which made him feel much better.
At this moment, looking at the report sent by the Xuanjing Division, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that the King of Yue really has no ambition. After getting married, he didn't think about how to deal with state affairs, but instead held a hero conference. It seems that my previous worries were unnecessary."
Prince Yu saw that Emperor Liang was in a good mood at the moment, so he stepped out and said, "Father, the King of Yue originally came from a military background, so it's normal for him to like practicing martial arts."
Emperor Liang leaned on the dragon chair with a pillow and asked curiously, "Is there any explanation for this?"
Prince Yu saw that Emperor Liang was interested, so he smiled and said, “Martial arts are generally in the hands of aristocratic families and major martial arts sects.
Wang Yue was born in a humble family and had never been exposed to martial arts before. He probably came into contact with it after marrying Nanchu Yuwen Nian, which is why he was very interested in it. "
Emperor Liang nodded and said with great appreciation, "My son's words make sense. Since he likes to practice martial arts, let the Xuan Jing Division select a few martial arts masters and send them to Jing Yao to serve. They can also teach the King of Yue at the same time."
The Crown Prince did not want Prince Yu to take all the credit, so he quickly said, "Father, I think this is not enough. Why not get someone to help promote Yue State and get more martial artists to go there? This will also help distract Yue State's energy."
Prime Minister Liu stroked his beard and smiled, "Prince, this is a good plan!"
Emperor Liang cast his gaze towards Prime Minister Liu and asked curiously, "Where does this come from?"
Prime Minister Liu kept smiling and said seriously, "Since ancient times, knights have used martial arts to break the law. If all these martial artists go to Yue State, the government of Yue State will have a headache!"
Emperor Liang thought for a moment and immediately laughed. He said happily, "The Crown Prince and Prince Yu's suggestions are both very good. Let's do it!"
……
Other countries had different reactions to Wang Yue's playful behavior.
Nan Chu was extremely happy, and the Emperor of Nan Chu even rewarded Prince Sheng greatly for this, thinking that Prince Sheng's idea could make the soldiers on Nan Chu's northern border worry-free.
When the Crown Prince of Nanchu saw that King Sheng had benefited, he spared no effort to publicize the Yue Kingdom Martial Arts Conference, which indirectly helped Wang Yue a lot.
Countries like Beiyan and Dayu, which had no contact with Yue State, felt a little regretful. They had been waiting for Wang Yue to cause trouble for Daliang, but they did not expect this result.
However, they did not see the benefits here and did not restrain the martial artists in their country from going to Yue State at all.
Especially in Daliang and Nanchu, their government even had the intention of encouraging the King of Yue to immerse himself in this martial arts world and never wake up again.
This led to the fact that the martial arts figures in the two countries regarded Yue State as a martial arts holy land, and anyone with a little bit of ability wanted to go and take a look.
Even the martial arts sects in various countries were influenced by this and sent their disciples to the State of Yue to see the real situation.
The arrival of these martial arts sects will inevitably lead to some exchanges of skills here, which will further expand the influence of the Yue State Martial Arts Conference.
It was in this environment that the State of Yue quietly absorbed many martial arts masters, and no one noticed. After all, there were too many people coming, and if a small number of them were missing, no one would notice.
Of course, there were also some people who were highly skilled in martial arts but unwilling to be restrained. They were also funded by the State of Yue, and quietly established a sect, which gradually grew and developed, and all served the State of Yue.
Of course, there are many more who are used to a free and easy life and only come occasionally to exchange ideas with others. However, this has also brought great popularity to the State of Yue and made the commercial development of the State of Yue even faster.
Of course, these are just the intuitive benefits. There are also some hidden benefits that can only be seen in the long term.
That is, under the influence of Wang Yue, after several years of development, the State of Yue gradually formed a martial spirit, which was probably the result of top-down influence.
In addition, the people of Yue State were able to eat well and dress warmly, so their physical fitness became much stronger without them realizing it, and more and more people practiced martial arts.
Everyone is paying attention to the development of the Yue Kingdom's martial arts conference, but few are paying attention to the schools that were built at the earliest time.
Under the cover of the martial arts conference, the first batch of children who went to school have now been admitted to the Kuaiji Academy. And the first batch of people who entered the Kuaiji Academy have already served in various parts of the Yue State.
Although these people only started as low-level officials based on their performance, they gradually made all kinds of talents in the State of Yue no longer so scarce.
Seeing the benefits of running schools, the State of Yue increased its efforts in running schools. In addition, the money was allocated from the King of Yue's treasury, so of course there was no resistance from the Yue government.
Even the aristocratic families of Yue State had no objection to this, because after several years of development, they had long since changed from monopolizing knowledge to monopolizing technology.
The reason for this change was, on the one hand, due to pressure from the government, and on the other hand, it was because some of the things Wang Yue made were so profitable that they were a little jealous.
Under this stimulation, the research and development capabilities of these families with a long history were also stimulated, promoting the development of the Yue State.
For example, the sea-going ship that the Qian family improved on Wang Yue’s large ship was more stable when sailing on the sea. Not only was it purchased by the official Yue State, but also by the private sector. It was basically in short supply.
……
With Chen Qingzhi's manipulation, those Chiyan soldiers who were exposed in the last wedding incident were slowly transferred out of the army with a reasonable reason.
Some of those who could be retained were transferred to serve in the Jinyiwei, while some of those who could not be retained were found with reasons to join the Jiangzuo League.
Of the several thousand people who were originally exposed, more than three thousand were finally completely eliminated from the military and political system of Yue State and joined the Jiangzuo League.
The addition of these people not only doubled the strength of the Jiangzuo League and accelerated its expansion of territory, but also allowed the State of Yue to take advantage of the situation and intensify its surveillance of the Jiangzuo League.
Six years later, in the spring of the fourth year of Yuanyou.
Because Prince Yu had made great contributions during his inspection tour of Jiangzuo, Prince Liang gave him two more royal beads. As he was directly threatening the crown prince, the fight for the throne of Daliang became increasingly fierce.
After ten years of preparation, the Yue State had become unprecedentedly powerful, and was ready to expand its territory at any time.
Chen Qingzhi came to the palace again that day. When he saw Wang Yue, he asked excitedly, "Prince, last year I said that we would take advantage of the war between Nanchu and Daliang to mobilize troops. You asked me to wait, and now it's the New Year, you must give me a clear answer."
Wang Yue knew that without a reasonable reason, the military would be unable to control the situation.
After all, the reason for everyone's training is to expand the territory. If there were no military rewards, then what would have been the point in them last year?
He quickly poured a cup of tea for his top strategist, then explained with a smile, "Mobilizing troops requires timing. It is not appropriate in practice. We can only fight head-on, and the losses will be very great."
Chen Qianzhi drank the tea in the cup, and then said helplessly, "I know what you said, but our last war was eight years ago. The generals in the army have lost their patience. You must give everyone a reason so that I can convince them."
Wang Yue knew that Chen Qingzhi was having a hard time, so he quickly persuaded him, "In fact, the opportunity will come soon."
Chen Qingzhi was cheered up. He was originally worried that Wang Yue would be immersed in the martial arts world and forget about the fight for supremacy in the world. Now that he heard Wang Yue say this, he felt a lot more relieved.
Chen Qianzhi was not the only one who was worried. The reason why there were such strong voices for war in the Kingdom of Yue was that Wang Yue's performance in recent years showed that he had the potential to become a tyrant ruler of the Ming Dynasty.
In order to compete with others, a large-scale training ground was specially built. Needless to say, after all, this kind of training ground is also useful to the military.
However, Wang Yue actually opened several academies specifically for carpentry, blacksmithing and other miscellaneous things. He was busy every day, but left most of the court affairs to Chen Qianzhi and the cabinet, and he just made some comments at the end.
What is even more depressing is that Wang Yue seems to be very curious about martial arts, and is particularly curious about the various special methods used by martial arts masters.
He once paid ten thousand taels of silver to find a master of disguise, and learned disguise from him. He also gained the reputation of being a fool with a lot of money in the world.
Moreover, Wang Yue often called the doctors in the palace to his side for advice. He was very curious about medical skills, and especially about facial surgery.
For five or six years, Wang Yue spent a lot of time on these messy things. Although he did not learn many of them in depth, he understood some of them.
His behavior made the neighboring countries feel at ease, but made the people of Yue State a little worried.
Because of this, the people of Yue State hoped to expand their territory as soon as possible and use war to awaken Wang Yue.
Now, hearing Wang Yue suddenly say seriously that the opportunity was right in front of him, Chen Qingzhi asked curiously, "What opportunity? Why don't I know about it? Did the Jinyiwei have some information?"
Chapter 93: The talented unicorn!
The reason why Chen Qingzhi asked this was because five years ago, Wang Yue suddenly proposed to separate the Jinyiwei and the military intelligence group. The Jinyiwei was only responsible to the royal palace, while the military intelligence group was responsible to the military.
From that day on, Chen Qingzhi only knew about the intelligence of the military intelligence group, so he asked this question.
Wang Yue shook his head and said seriously, "Have you heard a piece of news? Mei Changsu, the leader of Jiangzuo, met Xiao Jingrui twice."
Chen Qingzhi's forehead was black, and he said speechlessly, "Your Majesty, if you have something to say, please speak directly. What does this have to do with our chance?"
Seeing that Chen Qingzhi still didn't understand, Wang Yue said helplessly, "They first met at the Meiling battlefield twelve years ago, and then met again at the Qingfeng Temple in Lingshan some time ago. Don't you think that the two meetings were a coincidence?"
Chen Qingzhi had heard from Wang Yue that this Mei Changsu was the former young marshal Lin Shu. Five years ago, in order to conceal his identity, Mei Changsu even asked the young pavilion master of Langya Pavilion to help him with plastic surgery, for fear that acquaintances would recognize him.
He only learned about this news five years ago when he saw Wang Yue researching plastic surgery.
After combining the two pieces of information, he said uncertainly, "Your Majesty, you mean to say that Mei Changsu is ready to take revenge."
Wang Yue nodded and said confidently, "Of course. It has been 12 years. He has already made preparations. He can't keep waiting."
Chen Qingzhi opened his mouth and asked in some doubt, "Your Majesty, you are not waiting for Lin Shu to take action! Do you want to take revenge with him?"
Wang Yue shook his head and said seriously, "Revenge is for sure, but my way of revenge is different from others. In my opinion, Emperor Liang gave me a reason to rebel, and I will fulfill his wish."
Chen Qingzhi couldn't help but roll his eyes. Wang Yue had already done this, which led to the current Yue Kingdom.
Seeing that Wang Yue had already made up his mind, he asked curiously, “Since Mei Changsu has contacted Xiao Jingrui, he is probably going to take the court route.
But Xiao Jingrui loves the martial arts world, if we follow his path, the process will probably be very long. "
Wang Yue drank the tea in his cup, then smiled and said, "You may not pay attention to the martial arts world, so you don't know a piece of news."
Chen Qianzhi frowned. He always looked down upon the martial arts world. He felt that it was nothing but chickens and dogs in front of the army and was not worth paying attention to at all.
Seeing that Wang Yue actually brought it up at this time, he asked curiously, "What news?"
Wang Yue poured himself another cup of tea, and then said calmly, "The top of the Langya list, the Qilin talent, whoever gets him can get the world."
Chen Qingzhi couldn't help but open his mouth wide. What the hell was this Langya Pavilion doing that was selling information?
A martial arts sect actually dared to say that a person was so powerful that he had the talent of a dragon or a phoenix. This is simply forcing this person to death!
He asked curiously, "Who is this unlucky guy?"
Wang Yue almost spit out the tea in his mouth. He coughed several times before he could catch his breath.
He then said unhappily, "The talented men are Mei Changsu and Lin Shu!"
Chen Qingzhi is no fool. He combined the information from your military intelligence team and came to a conclusion, "Your Highness, Mei Changsu is not going to participate in the fight for the throne. Xiao Jingrui's brother seems to be following Prince Yu, so he is a good medium."
Wang Yue saw that Chen Qingzhi had been led astray by Mei Changsu, so he did not remind him, but analyzed seriously, "Don't forget, although Princess Xuanji is dead, the intelligence organization she left behind is by Prince Yu's side, and Prince Yu has no shortage of counselors.
Moreover, Prince Yu had actually participated in the murder of the Red Flame Army that year, and he would definitely not overturn the verdict on behalf of the Red Flame Army, so Mei Changsu would not support Prince Yu."
Seeing Wang Yue throwing out this news again, Chen Qingzhi couldn't help but frown and said, "So, whether it's the Crown Prince or Prince Yu, they will be the targets of Mei Changsu's elimination. Then the whole Daliang will probably be in chaos in the future. This is indeed a good opportunity to use troops."
Wang Yue nodded, then shook his head and said seriously, "If Daliang is in chaos, it will indeed be a good opportunity. At that time, many neighboring countries will definitely want to take action against Daliang, but Daliang's soldiers and horses have fought against us so many times and are very powerful. We might as well take advantage of the situation and rob them."
When Chen Qingzhi noticed that Wang Yue was looking at the backyard of the palace, he couldn't help but be moved. He felt that Wang Yue's idea was very clever, and it was very likely that he could expand the territory without bloodshed.
An idea suddenly flashed through his mind, and he said excitedly, "Prince, do you have any spies arranged by Mei Changsu? As long as we can know Mei Changsu's movements, we can definitely act one step ahead."
Wang Yue waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "You forgot that I have another identity, that is, Yan Lin, the richest man in the world. You should prepare some loyal Yan State masters and prepare to go to Jinling with me."
Chen Qingzhi's face changed drastically, and he said excitedly, "No, I can't take the risk myself! Mei Changsu knows Yan Lin's identity, and I still don't trust him!"
Wang Yue shook his head helplessly and said depressedly, "Mei Changsu will definitely come to find me when he goes to Jinling. Otherwise, he will definitely not be able to take revenge with peace of mind."
Chen Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, then still insisted, "That won't work either. He is just a gangster, Daliang may not take it seriously, but you are the backbone of Yue State, you can't take any risks."
Wang Yue saw that Chen Qingzhi was unwilling to let him go, so he said helplessly, "Since the Heroes Conference, after more than five years of rapid development, there are Jinyiwei stations all over Daliang, even in Jinling City, there are more than a dozen. If something goes wrong, I will definitely be able to escape, just rest assured."
Chen Qingzhi couldn't help but widen his eyes. He didn't expect that the Jinyiwei had developed so rapidly in just five years.
However, it is understandable that Jinyiwei spent the money of the palace, not the money of Yue State. The money of the palace is an astronomical figure. If all of it is taken out, it would be too easy to develop Jinyiwei.
He asked uncertainly, "Your Majesty, how many Jinyiwei are there near Jinling?"
Wang Yue held up three fingers, and then said casually, “Three thousand, the two largest gangs in Jinling’s Cao Gang, although they are not our people, there are five slightly smaller gangs, all of whom are Jinyiwei’s people.
The total number of these people is probably more than two thousand. In addition, there are some businesses in Jinling City, and there are also several hundred people scattered around.
Although these people cannot take down Jinling City, they can still capture a city gate so that I can escape."
Wang Yue was not joking. His martial arts arena was not opened for nothing. Through the martial arts arena, Wang Yue got to know many heroes and heroes. He selected some suitable people, recruited them into the Jinyiwei, and then began to support their development in various places.
With a martial arts master in charge, the development speed of a gang is quite fast. That's why Wang Yue has gained so much strength in Jinling in just five or six years.
In fact, not only Nanjing, but also other countries and counties have Jinyiwei personnel. These people have been trained using the method taught by Qin Banruo, and their loyalty is still acceptable.
