Chapter 3515
Princess Gaoyang and his party entered the barracks, looked around, and saw that although the place was simple, it was clean and tidy. There were a few charcoal basins burning in the corners, and the temperature was considered suitable, so they nodded and said: "This time the whole family came here. It's a last resort, General Lao."
Gao Kan hurriedly said: "Your Highness, there is no need to be like this. The army and guards are all fans of the Marshal, and they are willing to die for the Marshal at any time."
Since ancient times, soldiers have regarded them as their fathers and generals as their sons. The interests of the whole army are tied together, and the robes are deeply affectionate. Therefore, they can fight bravely and share life and death in wartime.And it is this characteristic that often makes the imperial army become the general's private soldiers, only obeying the general's order but not knowing the king's order, and gradually evolved into a warlord.
The so-called "a sword has two fronts" is exactly the case.
Fang Jun is not only the general of Youtunwei, but also reorganized this army based on his will, changing the government soldiers into recruits, and he is responsible for the selection of every soldier, the appointment of every official position, and the promotion of every general. Controlling, the whole army, how could they not accept his orders?
With Fang Jun's prestige and his control over this army, it is no wonder that Gao Kan can say such words. He is a general of the imperial court, but he always regards himself as a general of the Fang family...
Princess Gao Yang nodded slowly, and said: "I will send the news of my arrival here to the palace, so as not to worry the prince brother."
Gao Kan said: "Here! The last general will send someone into the Xuanwu Gate to deliver the news..."
After a pause, he said softly: "Although there are heavy troops stationed here, the Xuanwu Gate is the target of public criticism after all, and there will inevitably be rebels coming to harass it. It is still dangerous after all. Has your Highness thought about entering the palace temporarily?"
Princess Gaoyang hesitated for a moment, unable to make up her mind, Wu Meiniang said in a clear voice: "No need, this place is dangerous, but the palace may not be safe. Now more than 10 rebels are rushing into the city to besiege the imperial city, and they may break the city." Only in the middle of the night. Zuo Tunwei is the most well-organized army near Guanzhong, and it is still unable to shake the camp of You Tunwei. It is expected that those rebels are nothing more than a mob, so what are we afraid of? Stay here, and we will fight against the enemy together. , even if the result is not good, it is willing.”
Although this is Fang Jun's concubine, Gao Kan does not dare to underestimate her in the slightest. To a certain extent, Wu Meiniang's opinion is almost the opinion of the Fang family. Even if Fang Jun is here, she will not easily refute it...
He could hear that Wu Meiniang's words not only had great trust in the combat power of You Tunwei, but also had no barriers, and regarded the whole army as his own. Of course, this can be seen from abandoning the mansion in the city and going out of the city to avoid danger.
This made Gao Kan feel warm and honored, but also deeply responsible.
He hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Mrs. Wu, as long as there is one person alive in the right guard, he will definitely stand in front of the enemy army and prevent you nobles from hurting a single hair!"
Wu Meiniang said with a smile: "The general is serious. Life and death are up to fate. Even if the real power is not enough, it is just fate. Please send a letter to the palace quickly, so that His Royal Highness will not miss my Royal Highness. Then take care of the servants to settle down."
"Here!"
Gao Kan didn't say much more, got up to salute and leave, and ordered people to enter the Xuanwu Gate to report to the palace immediately, while personally supervising the soldiers under his command to assist the servants of the house to arrange the furniture and belongings, and never allowed to make any omissions.
In the barracks, the maids were busy, setting up all the vases and tea sets brought by the family, the gilt silk curtains were hung on the beds and folded up with gold hooks, and the brocade bedding was all laid out.He also took out a gilded incense burner with animal-shaped patterns, put sandalwood in it and lit it, and the barracks, which were originally simple and necessary, instantly became gorgeous and comfortable.
The three women were sitting in front of the coffee table by the window, each holding a teacup, the steam in the cup was steaming and the tea was fragrant, but they all looked up at the soldiers rushing back and forth in the heavy snow outside the window, dazed in a daze.
After a long time, Wu Meiniang said softly: "I don't know how your husband is in the Western Regions..."
No matter how strong a woman is, she has more softness in her heart than a man.Without the dark experience of being hit, especially the tragic experience of being imprisoned in the Ganye Temple when she first entered the palace and struggled to survive, Wu Meiniang has not yet completed her evolution. Empress.
When the current situation is getting more and more dangerous, I naturally think that I can have a strong and generous shoulder to lean on...
Princess Gao Yang put the teacup to her lips and took a sip, and said calmly: "Your Majesty is fighting for the country, facing an enemy ten times stronger, but those gangsters and thieves want to murder my family, they are really wolf-hearted and insane. How can you trap such peerless heroes like Langjun? Let the traitors in the court go free for a few days, and when Langjun returns to Beijing, they will definitely feel better."
Jin Shengman on the side sipped his tea, blinked his long eyelashes, and remained silent.
To be honest, even though she is married into the Fang family, she still considers herself a member of the Fang family, more because of the political needs of both parties. Although she has a good impression of Fang Jun, it is far from deep-rooted love and lovesickness. Illness, and even more embarrassment when the two get along.
Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang were both deeply in love and in a trance, Jin Shengman sat for a while, then got up and said, "I'll go see if my sister has settled down."
He stepped out of the barracks lightly.
*****
After the visit from Chengnan Foundry Bureau, Changsun Wuji returned to Yanshoufang, inevitably full of worries.
In the history, it seems that there are too many such measures to grab power and interests in the name of military remonstrance. Mostly, as long as the established facts are established and the acquiescence of the ruling and opposition parties is obtained, the overall situation is considered to be settled, even if there are one or two stubborn people who are stubborn , but can't turn up any storms.
After all, there is only so much power. When the situation stabilizes after fierce confrontation, compromise, and integration between the government and the opposition, everyone has vested interests. At that time, whoever wants to restore the original status will be the enemy of everyone.
Is there any chance of winning against the entire vested interest class by one's own strength?
However, just after witnessing the ruins of the former site of the Foundry Bureau, there was an irreparable loophole in the rules that Changsun Wuji had long believed in——Fang Jun, who had mastered the power of firearms, if he insisted on overthrowing the establishment created after the successful remonstrance Situation, who can resist? !
Perhaps it is difficult for Fang Jun to fight against the general trend of Guanlong in a hurry, but as long as he chooses a place to hide for several years, vigorously manufactures firearms, and raises an army of tens of thousands, he can drive straight to Chang'an.By that time, it would be impossible for the thick city walls, deep moats, and even hundreds of thousands of troops to resist Fang Jun, who possesses the power of firearms.
The power of the firearm is really too great, so big that it has completely surpassed Changsun Wuji's cognition of the limit of power in the world!
Therefore, even if the current military remonstrance is successful, the dethroning of the East Palace and the acquiescence of the ruling and opposition parties to support the King of Qi, Guan Long seized the greatest power to control the court... so what?
As long as Fang Jun exists for one day, the threat of firearms will hang over the head of the Guanlong Clan. Once Fang Jun leads the army back to Chang'an, Guanlong will be defeated.
One side has mastered the most extreme weapon in this world, while the other side has not, resulting in a complete imbalance of power balance, which is too unfair...
Just as he was locked in his own thoughts, he saw the eldest grandson Wen hurriedly walked into the hall, came to the front and knelt on the ground with a "plop", crying bitterly: "Father, my son failed to complete what you asked, which caused the reputation of the eldest grandson's family to be damaged. Damn it! It's just that the Fang family is arrogant and lawless, and now it's hiding in the Youtunwei barracks outside the city, and I hope my father will send troops to wipe it out!"
Changsun Wuji's temples throbbed, he gritted his teeth and looked at the son in front of him, endured it, did he kick him over and lose face...
However, the anger in his heart could not be calmed down, and he said coldly: "My father ordered you to do something, but you were captured by a woman, so my father had to rely heavily on Duke Ying to rescue you. You still have the face to come before my father." Crying? Go back to the mansion quickly, don't be ashamed of yourself here."
The eldest grandson Wen was terrified in his heart, afraid of his father's punishment, but he knew that he must not return to the mansion at this moment, otherwise he would never want to inherit the position of Patriarch from now on.
Immediately, he walked forward, knelt at Changsun Wuji's feet, raised his head and said, "Father, the child deserves to die, but he dare not lose the reputation of the eldest grandson's family! I implore the father to send a troop under the command of the son, and he must go out of the city to wipe out Youtun Wei, capture the entire Fang family, and it will be a complete shame!"
Changsun Wuji stroked his beard, he didn't agree, but he didn't refuse either, thinking about gains and losses.
After witnessing the supernatural power of gunpowder, his fear of Fang Jun in his heart surpassed all others, far above the crown prince, Li Ji and others, because he knew that the supernatural power of gunpowder was irresistible.That being the case, if he could control Fang's family and the whole family, wouldn't it be possible to force Fang Jun to throw himself into the trap and have to bow down to himself?
Otherwise, if there is no restriction, sooner or later you will be defeated...
