Chapter 395 Capture the West Sea (Part 1)

The summer night is quiet, and the dark sky is full of bright stars. A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the faint light is like a thin veil covering the trees.

Yun Qing was talking with Feng Dajun and others in the tent, when suddenly there was a noise from the north, and it stopped after a while.

Cui Mo saw that Yunqing was silent, so he quickly asked: "General, what's the matter?" Yunqing summoned all three thousand cavalry. It has to be said that it feels good to be the master of the country. He can deploy troops as he wants, and no one will tell him what to do.

Yun Qing said: "Ten miles away from here to the north, there are many dense bushes and trees, and there must be many birds inhabiting them. The sound just now came from the back. It is likely that there are enemies lurking there. The birds flew away in fright. caused by it."

Hearing this, Cui Mo stood up and said, "General, I will take five hundred cavalry to search the woods. If there is an enemy army lurking, kill them all." If you dare to ambush them, let these bastards Back and forth.

Just in case, Yunqing said: "Bring a thousand cavalry there!" Because he had already thought of attacking this place, Yunqing had already asked the spies to survey the terrain here very carefully.

An hour later, Cui Mo returned and said, "General, there are indeed ambushes in the jungle. However, we have wiped them all out."

Feng Dajun asked: "How many people?" Hearing that there were more than 600 people, Feng Dajun said with a cold face: "I have used all the tricks of sneak attack. It seems that Timur is afraid." Timur He is the actual ruler of the West Sea and is known as the King of the West Sea.

Yun Qing said calmly: "We are not as familiar with the environment of the West Sea as Timur, so be careful." The environment in the West Sea is more complicated, so we have to be careful, and this time we only brought 40,000 soldiers and horses, which does not account for the number of troops. Advantage.

Yuxi in Pick City is also very busy. The second day Han Jianming arrived in Pickaxe City, she asked Han Jianming what he thought. Han Jianming has been in politics for several years and has rich experience, which can help her a lot.

Han Jianming asked, "What do you think is appropriate for me?"

Yuxi thought for a while and said, "Brother, you used to be Minister of the Ministry of War. No matter what you do, I feel that you are a bit overqualified." The highest official positions are governor and political envoy, but there are people in both positions.

Han Jianming smiled, and said: "No matter what position he was in the imperial court before, he has to start again when he arrives in the northwest, and you can arrange any errands." He can't do something special just because he is Yuxi's eldest brother, it won't matter for a while, Relationships froze over time.

Yu Xi thought for a while and said: "There is another position vacant, which is the Inspector of the Inspectorate. I don't know if my brother is interested?" The original Inspector was Xiong Nanqi, but he was dismissed by Yuxi. This person is not familiar with the law to her, and it is completely Yunqing's point of view. This position has remained vacant since his dismissal.

Han Jianming said with a smile: "The procurator is in charge of the judiciary of the entire Northwest, and also has the responsibility of supervision. Have you discussed this matter with your brother-in-law before deciding?" Although the procurator is only a third-rank official position, it can be implemented . In his capacity, the governor and chief envoy can't control him.

Yuxi shook her head and said: "No need. Brother, you were a minister of the Ministry of War. No one will object to you being the inspector. As long as the elder brother doesn't think his official position is too low."

Han Jianming nodded with a smile and said, "If that's the case, then I'll be disrespectful." Although he had been the Minister of the Ministry of War before, that Minister of the Ministry of War was just a puppet.

In front of Han Jianming, Yuxi didn't hide her thoughts, and said, "Brother, I actually want to set up a school in every county in the northwest to train more talents."

There are too few scholars in Northwest China, so there are few resources. Therefore, Yuxi wanted to set up some public schools to give children in the Northwest another chance to read and write.

Han Jianming nodded and said, "Your idea is very good. We can make a plan and try to realize your idea within five years. If you want, you can leave this to me."

Yu Xi hesitated: "Brother, this is too tiring."

Han Jianming said with a smile, "Why are you tired? Isn't it just an extra errand?" He is not afraid of too much work now, but afraid of having nothing to do.

Yu Xi nodded and said: "As long as the eldest brother is not afraid of being tired, I can't wait for it!" Now there are too many things, she can't wait for someone to share them!

Xu Wu walked in from the outside and showed Yu Xi the news from the capital.

After Yuxi read the news, her expression was very ugly, and she said to Han Jianming: "Brother, the Han family expelled our family?"

Han Jianming said with a look as usual: "From the day I decided to leave the capital, I knew there would be this result. By the way, did the title of the Han family be given to the third uncle?"

Yu Xi nodded and said: "This title is given to Han Jingyan." Yu Xi hated Jiang Hongjin to death, but she hated Han Jingyan the most. Pushing her into the fire pit of Jiang's house, and disregarding her life or death, forbidding her to make peace with Jiang Hongjin.

Han Jianming said with mixed feelings: "Third Uncle, he finally got his wish."

Hearing this, Xi was very suspicious, and asked, "I got my wish? Brother, do you mean that Han Jingyan coveted the title before?" But considering Han Jingyan's personality, it is normal for him to covet the title.

Han Jianming nodded and said, "Third Uncle thinks that he is better than my father in everything. If this title is passed on to him, it can revitalize the family of the Duke's Mansion. It's just that my grandmother doesn't allow it. After he has stayed in the Imperial Academy for three years, he will be allowed It's out."

Yuxi really didn't know that this was the truth of Han Jingyan's release, and said with some emotion: "It's also fortunate that my grandmother got him out, otherwise the Duke's Mansion would have collapsed." It's also easy to understand that she doesn't want brothers to kill each other.

Han Jianming hummed and said, "When third uncle returns to Beijing, I will already be eighteen years old, and I will be able to stand alone."

Yuxi reminded Han Jianming: "Brother, our branch has been expelled by the Han family, and we will no longer have any relationship with the Han family in the capital."

People in the Han family do not seek to make progress, but only indulge in pleasure. There are nearly a thousand people in the entire clan, and there is no more than one slap in the palm of the Jinshi in the three generations of internal examinations, and no more than ten Juren. There are very few people who enter the military camp to have a bright future. Therefore, most of the clansmen are not doing well, and there are many people who are fighting the autumn wind before the Chinese New Year. Such a family is actually a heavy burden.

Han Jianming said, "I know."

Han Jianming didn't hate Han Jingyan. Although Han Jingyan had once coveted the title of Duke, he hadn't harmed him. As for the clan expelling him, he didn't think it was wrong, just like when he expelled Yuxi from the clan, he was forced by the situation. It's just that he knew that Yuxi hated Han Jingyan, and he didn't have a good impression of the clan members, so he didn't say much.

As Yuxi said, no one expressed dissatisfaction with Han Jianming's appointment as inspector. In the entire Northwest, there is no one with higher qualifications than Han Jianming.

After a few days, Yuxi received a letter from Yuchen. After reading the letter, Yu Xi smiled and said to Xu Wu: "The imperial court is planning to appoint a general as the governor of the Northwest, what do you think?" Yu Chen said it very euphemistically in the letter, but the meaning was just that.

Xu Wu's face changed slightly, and he said: "Ma'am, the imperial court wants to appoint a general as the governor of the Northwest. It must be a weasel giving the chicken New Year's greetings. If he has no good intentions, he cannot agree." They have suffered enough from the dog imperial court. It's a good day, but I don't want to go back to the past.

Yuxi shook her head and said: "If the emperor agrees to hand over the management of the Northwest to us, and to make a general a prince, I think I can agree."

Xu Wu smiled immediately: "Ma'am, this is the best." It doesn't matter whether the prince is there or not, the key is that the Northwest can no longer let the imperial court intervene.

Yuxi wrote a reply letter, and asked Mr. Chen to revise it, and then copied a copy again, and asked someone to bring the letter back to the capital.

It was already the next day that Han Jianming knew the news. Han Jianming smiled and said, "Wang Jue? It's not too much." The Northwest is in Yunqing's hands, and a Wang Jue is really not a big deal.

Yuxi was a little melancholy, and said: "I never thought that one day, I would become enemies with Yuchen." It's really unpredictable.

Han Jianming still has a lot of affection for Yuchen, and Yuchen has helped him a lot these years: "Although Yuchen has become a queen, she may not be as comfortable as you." Yuxi is now, and everything is going well. Well, if there is another son, then it will be consummated.

A smile appeared on Yuxi's face, and said: "When the day gave the marriage, I never expected to have such a good marriage." Thinking of this, Yuxi said: "Yan Wushuang killed all the Song family. Will he let the Queen Mother go?"

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "No. I can't help but not let the Empress Dowager Song go, and even the heirs of the previous emperor, I'm afraid I won't let go of any of them."

Yu Xi also agrees with this statement, Yan Wushuang was originally the proud son of heaven, but turned upside down overnight. He kept his name incognito for more than ten years just for revenge, and how could he let anyone who harmed him go: "Our people in the capital haven't found the way, and the news is too late." The people sent by Yuxi to the capital found out Everything happens.

Han Jianming took the initiative to say: "Although I have left the capital, I still have some contacts there." This means that those who stayed in the capital can be asked for information.

Yuxi smiled and said, "That's great."

While talking, Xu Wu walked in quickly and said loudly: "Ma'am, the general has broken through Dezhou City."

Yuxi was also very happy when she heard the news.

Han Jianming said: "The West Sea is so big, and there are many Yi people, it is not easy to manage. Yuxi, I think it should be easier to manage if the West Sea is divided into two parts."

This issue is very complicated, and it cannot be settled in a few words: "Whether to divide it into two parts for management, I will discuss this with Yunqing when he comes back." If the people of the Yi nationality are managed by Han people, it is difficult to manage them well. Yuxi felt that it was better to follow the imperial court's system and let them elect one person to manage it. They just need to control the overall situation. Otherwise, it is easy to cause excitement. (to be continued)
