Volume 10 Chapter 483
Chapter 483
Sun Bing and Xu Yan hope that Gao Hang will never come back after he goes to sea. The person who is completely opposite to their wishes is Qingyu. Qingyu is the happiest one that Gao Hang can be accepted by Feng Kingdom and become one of the Feng Generals.
The two of them were not very familiar with each other before. After all, one was in the imperial court and the other was far away in Donghai County. Due to geographical restrictions, they had admired each other for a long time. Now that they were finally able to serve as ministers in the same palace again, and they were both from Mo, the two of them became more and more mature. It's only natural to get closer.
Regarding the current situation of Feng Country, Qingyu gave Gao Hang a detailed introduction. Although Feng Country is as powerful as it is today, it still has many internal contradictions, complicated relationships, and numerous factions. If you are not careful, you may be in danger. territory.
In the Feng Kingdom's court, there are indeed so many factions that it is unimaginable. There are the local factions of the Feng Kingdom, as well as the Ningren, Moren, and Zhenren factions. Even within each faction, there will be many divisions. They are a small group with different political opinions. If they can kill each other, they will never show mercy. Take Fengren as an example, Qiu Zhen and Guan Yuanji seem to have jumped out of the faction, while Zhang Zhe, headed by Yushi Dafu, and Zhang Xin, headed by Zhisu Neishi, are incompatible with each other and often have disputes. The Mo people faction is also divided into the aristocratic faction and the civilian faction. Qingyu, Gao Hang, Li Jin, and Zhang Rong all belong to the aristocratic faction, while Qi Heng and Guo Jue belong to the civilian faction, and everyone looks down on the other.
These many factions coexist in the same court, and they can suppress the conflicts under the water, and make the Feng Kingdom appear to be united and calm. This has to be said to be a miracle, and the reason why it can be created Tang Yin was indispensable for this miracle. It's not that Tang Yin used many clever methods to resolve the conflicts between the factions, but that Tang Yin's personal prestige was too high. With him alone in charge, he suppressed all the factions and made them dare not act rashly.
There are so many hidden dangers in the Feng Kingdom. The fundamental reason is that it expanded too fast. Before one contradiction could be resolved, new contradictions came one after another. This cycle has evolved into the deformity it is today.
Just because of Tang Yin's presence, the Feng Kingdom's court was still very stable, and could also achieve superficial unity and face the outside world together.
Before Gao Hang surrendered, he had already judged that the situation in Feng Country would be complicated, but he didn't expect it to be so complicated with so many factions.
After Qingyu finished speaking, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I should really thank the king for letting me go to Donghai County to train the navy and be ready to go overseas and attack the island countries at any time."
Qingyu smiled, raised his delicate eyebrows, and asked: "Brother Gao, can't you see the king's true intention? It's a plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves. He wants to use the opportunity of conquering overseas island countries to consume Zhenjiang to the maximum extent." Navy and Donghai Navy!”
Gao Hang sighed and said: "How can I not understand the king's thoughts?! However, I was born in Donghai County, and I know how serious the problem of pirates is. No matter what the king thinks, if pirates can really be eradicated , I am willing to do it even if it costs my life to protect the people of this place."
Qingyu was quite moved when he heard this. There are not many people like Gao Hang who are ambitious and willing to think about the people. He sighed softly and said: "It's a pity that I don't know how to fight on the water. Otherwise, I really want to go out with Brother Gao to defeat the barbarians and bandits!"
Gao Hang said: "The biggest fear when fighting overseas is insufficient logistics supplies. If General Qingyu can stay in the court and help me supervise logistics, it will be a great help to me."
Qingyu thought for a while, patted his chest and said, "I'll take care of this matter."
"Thank you, General Qingyu in advance." There were many Mo people in the Feng Kingdom court. In addition to Qing Yu, there were also Li Jin, Zhang Rong and others. However, Gao Hang had already despaired of these Mo Kingdom veterans. , If you want to count on them, you are really pushing yourself into a pit of fire. Among so many Mo people, Gao Hang felt that Qingyu was worthy of his trust.
A few days after receiving Gao Hang's navy, the two prime ministers Guan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen finally arrived in Zhenjiang.
Tang Yin was extremely excited about their arrival and went out of the city to greet them personally. When entering the city, he even pulled the two of them into his carriage, and the three of them rode together.
On the way, without much greeting, Tang Yin bluntly expressed his intention to move the capital to Zhenjiang.
Hearing that he was moving the capital, Guan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen were both shocked. In fact, as early as when the Feng Kingdom acquired the eight counties of Ningbei, Yancheng was no longer suitable as a capital. It was too far away from Ningdi, which made it beyond the reach of the Feng Kingdom to govern Ningdi. Now it has annexed the eight counties of Ningnan and Ningdi. The entire territory of Mo State except for the two counties, Yancheng is even less suitable to be the capital. Everyone knows this in their hearts, but no one dares to mention it.
Feng people are the foundation of Feng Country. However, no Feng people want to move the capital out of Feng Country. Although Ning and Mozambique have been merged into Feng Country, traditional Feng people cannot accept it so quickly in their hearts. . Because of this, anyone who proposed to move the capital would be suspected of trying to shake the foundation of the Feng Kingdom. Even Guan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen, who were high-ranking prime ministers and important ministers of the orthodox Feng people, did not dare to raise the matter. Now that Tang Yin raised it himself, how could Guan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen not be surprised and surprised?
Emotionally, the two of them absolutely supported Tang Yin, but rationally, they had to express their opposition. First, Guan Yuanji said: "Your Majesty, moving the capital to Zhenjiang will probably cause dissatisfaction among the people in the country. Since the founding of Feng State, Yancheng has been the capital of Feng State. It has long become a symbol of Feng State. In the traditional style Human beings cannot accept moving the capital to Zhenjiang. I hope your Majesty will think again!"
Qiu Zhen agreed with Guan Yuanji's point of view, nodded repeatedly, and responded: "It is a good thing that the king has the intention to move the capital, but in practice... I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
I haven't returned to Yancheng yet, but when I met Guan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen, they unanimously expressed their opposition. This shows how difficult it will be to convince the ministers in the DPRK after returning to Yancheng.
Tang Yin said dissatisfied: "For the current Feng Kingdom, Yancheng is located in a remote location and the transportation is extremely inconvenient. It is no longer suitable to be the capital of a country. Why can't it be moved to Zhenjiang, which is closer to the center?"
Guan Yuanji smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, there are too many stakes involved in moving the capital. From an emotional point of view, the Laofeng people will feel abandoned by the King, and dissatisfaction with the King will definitely arise among the people. Secondly, the ministers and The properties of large merchants are basically located in Yancheng. Once the capital is moved, these properties may become worthless. Therefore, the people will not support the move of the capital, and neither will the ministers in the court, from the bottom up. If you don’t support your Majesty’s decision, it will be difficult to implement it. In that case, why bother to bring this decision forward and harm your prestige?”
After hearing what he said, Tang Yin was speechless. He thought the problem was too simple. For a country, moving the capital is a huge matter. The stakes and various aspects involved are so many that it is unimaginable. It's something that can be decided by a slap on the forehead.
"So, the matter of moving the capital will definitely not work? The capital of Feng Kingdom will definitely die in Yancheng?" After holding it in for a while, Tang Yin asked unconvinced.
The truth...that's it. Guan Yuanji muttered in his heart, but didn't say anything.
Qiu Zhen almost had the same idea, but he didn't want Tang Yin to be too angry, so he roundly said: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long term, long term!"
"Nonsense! Long-term plan? How long will the long-term plan last?!" Tang Yin slapped his thigh angrily, his eyes swept back and forth between Guan Yuanji and Qiu Zhenshen, and finally turned away and looked out of the car.
Guan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen looked at each other and did not dare to speak anymore. They also wanted to support Tang Yin and believed that moving the capital was the right decision. Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do.
If Tang Yin really wanted to move the capital against all opinions, the dissatisfaction of the ministers would be easy to say, but he was afraid that the dissatisfaction of the people would be taken advantage of, which would lead to unexpected consequences. The people of Feng Ren are the foundation of the Feng Kingdom. If even the Feng people don't support the king, let alone the Ning people, Zhen people, and Mo people. By then, the king will betray his relatives and leave, and it will be too late to regret it. Together with it, let me Fengguo, which is full of contradictions, will also be in danger. Feng Guo cannot afford to take this risk, at least not now.
Originally Tang Yin was very happy about the arrival of Guan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen, but the cold water from the two of them suddenly poured out all the excitement in his heart, and his heart felt cold...
After Guan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen arrived in Zhenjiang, they shared most of the military and political affairs for Tang Yin, and Mo Di, who was merged into Feng State, began to gradually stabilize. At this point, it was finally time for Tang Yin to return to Yancheng.
Tang Yin is leaving Zhenjiang, and Lingshuang is also going back to Jade Kingdom, so the two of them can travel together.
Before leaving Zhenjiang, Tang Yin handed over the internal affairs to Guan Yuanji, the external affairs to Qiu Zhen, and the military affairs to Xiao Muqing. After everything was settled, he set off to return to Yancheng.
Because the war in Mo Di was not completely over yet, the only Feng army that followed Tang Yin back to the capital was the direct army. However, the Jade Army has all withdrawn. Now that the situation in Zhenjiang has stabilized, Lingshuang is about to return to the Jade Kingdom, and it is not appropriate for the Jade Army to stay in Zhenjiang any longer.
After Feng and Yu's armies left Zhenjiang, they headed north. In fact, they couldn't go very far together before they went their separate ways. It's just that this time is different from the past. Tang Yin and Ling Shuang both have a little more separation feeling between them and are unwilling to separate too early, so the speed of the two armies has been very slow.
On this day, the troops of Fengyu and Yu arrived in the Tongxian area of Haowuan County. Going further, they would enter Zeping County. When they arrived at Zeping, it was the time when Tang Yin and Lingshuang parted ways.
Tongxian County is a place where grain is produced. If you look on both sides of the road, you will see green crop fields everywhere, and you can't see the edge at a glance. Tang Yin and Ling Shuang were not sitting in the carriage, they were riding horses side by side.
