Chapter 448

Three days later, the eunuch sent by Tianjing City arrived at the residence of Tiebi marquis in Shenyang. As usual, he read out the rewards and punishments for fan Suiyang and Gu fan. Although fan Suiyang sent a private letter, many people can't understand the matter. Some people even think that fan Suiyang is fishing for fame, but Gu fan and others know it, If this matter is concealed, it will be more destructive to the Tiebi Marquis fan Suiyang and even to the whole civilian Marquis front.

If the reward and punishment for Gu fan and Tiebi Marquis fan Suiyang is reasonable, it's really strange that the military department's approval, which came with the imperial edict, was covered with the seal of the palace commander's office.

Even Gu fan was a little bit confused about the final decision of the Ministry of war. Although he said that even if the Ministry of War didn't agree, Gu fan had planned to set up a fortress in Wuji with the help of fan Suiyang, the Marquis of iron wall. No matter what, Gu fan was not afraid of the shadow.

Who knows that the decision made by the Ministry of war is that "the cloud wing part is divided into two parts, each with 50000 people, and it will be rotated once a year. The establishment of Wuji fortress will be speeded up. The funds will be allocated from the military expenditure of Yantian army first, and then the Ministry of war will apply for the allocation of the account department."

His majesty also added a paragraph after that, that is, Gu fan, the new commander of the cloud wing Department of the forbidden army, does not have to go back to Beijing to meet the saint, and takes official business first. After the completion of Wuji fortress construction, Prince xingzhenxuan will return to Tianjing City to face the saint. "

When the two wills were read out, the eunuch who delivered them said to Gu fan in his voice, "commander Gu, when your majesty heard that Wuji was going to be built on the edge, he was very happy. He wrote down the word" prestige "and gave the fortress the name of prestige, so that future generations can remember the style of our army in the great victory of Weiyuan city. We have also brought that picture, so we will give it to the ancient commander and the soldiers of the cloud wing Department of the imperial guard who will be stationed in Weifeng city. "

Hearing that father-in-law said so, Gu fan quickly bowed his hands and said, "Gu fan, thank you for your kindness for the 100000 soldiers of the cloud wing imperial army."

"Commander Gu, please forgive me. Your majesty always cares about the border areas, and is very concerned about the situation in the northern areas. " The middle-aged eunuch suddenly picked up his voice and said, "I hope that the ancient commander can use Weifeng city as an outpost to make a plan to attack the grassland as soon as possible, and bring the land of the south of the Yangtze River into the territory of our Dynasty."

When Gu fan heard this, he couldn't help but "clatter" for a moment. All along, Gu fan used cruel means to fight against the dog soldiers. Even though this strategy of Weiyuan city almost killed more than 100000 dog soldiers on one side, he didn't feel uneasy. The reason is that the Beidou Dynasty is responsible for keeping the local conditions, However, once the situation is reversed, the Beidou Dynasty will gain a relative advantage and build a fortress at the intersection of the ice field. Will it take this place as a springboard to invade the grassland of the gourong people?

Gu fan suddenly thought of the simple herdsmen who were herding cattle and sheep on the dog army grassland, and the children who were still learning to ride and shoot. If he led the soldiers to destroy their homes and kill their relatives, what would be different from the dog Army soldiers who invaded the Beidou dynasty? Even if the star level strong, master a country's respect, but also ultimately can't rival people's innate greed?

Seeing that Gu fan seemed to be distracted at this time and didn't come up to pick up the inscription written by Yaowu Xinghuang in his father-in-law's hand, the eunuch couldn't help but urge him to say: "commander Gu, this is your Majesty's personal handwriting. Please keep it. It will be extended to the Tower of Weifeng city in the future."

"Yes..." Gu fan answered with a wooden voice, went forward, held the mounted scroll, knelt down again, followed many people to shout "thank Lord long en", "long live your majesty" and so on, and then retreated with the crowd with a dull look.

However, fan Suiyang, the Marquis of Tiebi, took Gu fan and said to him, "fan Er, I think you seem to have something on your mind. Why don't you come to nuange and have a talk with my uncle and nephew?"

Gu fan nodded, then followed the Tiebi Marquis fan Suiyang to the warm Pavilion. Gu fan sat down in the position opposite the Tiebi Marquis fan Suiyang. Then fan Suiyang asked, "fan Er, are you worried about your Majesty's involvement in the grassland?"

Gu fan nodded silently and replied, "Uncle fan, I don't think it's a wise decision."

Fan Suiyang, the Marquis of Tiebi, separated his legs and sat on the floor of the warm Pavilion at random. Looking at Gu fan, he asked, "why do you say that? In fact, I also think that after the first World War of Weiyuan City, the strength of the dog army was greatly damaged, which is a good opportunity for our army to fight back against the dog army. First, we should build Weifeng city in Wuji, and then use it as a bridgehead. If we can seize part of the grassland and establish a county, we can not only pull the battlefield away, but also put Northern Xinjiang in a stable situation, In this way, many abandoned cities can be rebuilt and the mountains and forests can be developed. It's a blessing for all generations. Fan'er, how can you feel wrong? "

Gu fan shook his head and said, "Uncle fan, it's rare that you are a military Marquis who cares for the people. I'm afraid most people only value a lot of military achievements that can be obtained when they invade the grassland. They can only increase their official ranks. But Uncle fan, you just consider it from the perspective of the people. This is indeed a virtue for all generations, But from the point of view of the common people? "

"This..." fan Suiyang, the Marquis of iron wall, was slightly stunned, but he could not answer the question. Gu fan continued: "I think your majesty is so anxious to establish the city of prestige, and he personally inscribed for the city of prestige. In fact, he told all the officials to help us build the fortress as soon as possible. I'm afraid that he is so anxious to launch the war of aggression against gourong as soon as possible..."

"Fan'er, if your majesty is as old as you, I can understand... After all, young emperors want to make contributions... But..." fan Suiyang, the Marquis of iron wall, pondered and said: "Your Majesty is very old."

"Oh? Is your majesty very old? " Gu fan searched for the fragments in his memory and asked.

"Yes, it has already passed the year of destiny." Fan Suiyang, Marquis of Tiebi, said with emotion: "is it because he is satisfied with his highness and is ready to make preparations for his Highness's creation of the world?"

Gu fan shook his head and said: "no... uncle fan, at such an age, he is not at ease to enjoy his happiness in the palace. Instead, he tries to touch the grassland of Canrong. It's not because he is satisfied with xingzhenxuan and hopes to be the founder of xingzhenxuan's success, but just..." Gu Fan said with a slight pause: "Your Majesty is very satisfied with xingzhenxuan's ability and character, He is disappointed, but there are no outstanding talents among his descendants. Therefore, your majesty hopes to create a flourishing age in his own hands. Even if your majesty ascends the throne after thousands of generations, even if he is ignorant, the flourishing age will not fade away... "

"Oh?" When fan Suiyang, the Marquis of iron wall, heard Gu fan's words, he couldn't help but take a breath. Looking at Gu fan, he seemed to be looking at a stranger. Then he asked in a low voice in an unbelievable voice, "doesn't that mean that your majesty may abolish the crown prince and reestablish the crown prince?"

"It's not very clear about your Majesty's temperament." Gu fan closed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and then said: "after all, the frequent abolition of the crown prince has always been regarded as the source of rebellious acts, and also the source of civil strife in the dynasty. During his Majesty's reign, he was wise and wise. He had never made such a big mistake, so he should not. But if there is something wrong with Xing Zhenxuan, it is very likely that he will not make a good man by then."

After listening to Gu fan's words, fan Suiyang, the Marquis of iron wall, said slowly: "fan Er, speaking of this matter, I might as well mention one thing. Before coming to northern Xinjiang, his highness aochen once looked for me. I hope I can play for him... "

Gu fan thought about it and guessed that only Xing aochen dared to do so. Nowadays, most of the princes in the imperial court are mediocre. The only one who can stand up to fight against xingzhenxuan is xingaochen. Moreover, xingzhenxuan relies on the relationship with noble Marquis, and has close communication with noble Marquis such as Beisu Marquis Dan Tai RUOYE. If Xing aochen wants to compete with him, he has to turn to the civilian Marquis, promise to greatly improve the treatment of civilian Marquis after he ascends the throne, and give these Marquis a place to fight.

"What about Uncle fan's decision?" Gu fan thought of this, can't help a faint smile, looking at the iron wall Hou fan Suiyang asked.

"I naturally refused." Fan Suiyang, the Marquis of Tiebi, said: "I know it's too dangerous to be involved in the fight for the crown prince. The winner will make a lot of money, and the loser will lose his reputation. I don't think it's necessary and I can't afford to gamble... And... The court doesn't seem to be optimistic that his highness aochen can bring down the crown prince."

Gu fan nodded and said: "Uncle fan, it's a pity that we really don't get along with xingzhenxuan. We have offended him again and again. Moreover, this man has a lot of grudges. If one day he becomes the supreme of the ninth five year plan, I'm afraid we won't have any good fruit to eat. And we are more unlikely to succumb to him, so it's time to consider the cooperation with xingaochen. "

"Fan'er, you're right. Now that even you think you have a chance to bet on your highness aochen, I'll have a try." Tiebi Hou fan Suiyang nodded, and then said: "it's far away just now. Let's not talk about what happened after the establishment of Weifeng city. Fan Er, do you need any help in building Weifeng city?"

Gu fan thought about it and said, "there should be no shortage of materials and manpower. Just prepare a batch of grain for us."

"Oh?" Fan Suiyang, the Marquis of the iron wall, could not help frowning and asked, "do you not need any stone, wood or facilities in the fortress?"

Gu Fan said with a smile: "the city's firearms, organs, uncle fan sent me a batch of it, as for stone and wood..." he wiped his palm and said: "local materials is it, otherwise I keep so many star level experts why?"

Fan Suiyang, the Marquis of iron wall, feels uncomfortable when he thinks that Gu fan wants to let the star level master chop wood and mine stones.

The second thing Gu fan had to do when he came out of the Tiebi Marquis fan Suiyang's house was to go to the camp of the Imperial Army's cloud wing department near Shanhaiguan.

In other words, half of the soldiers of the cloud wing department can go back to the capital of heaven and go back to the beautiful metropolis of Shanglin. The other half of the soldiers have to spend another year in the icy Northern Xinjiang and build the Weifeng city. The difference between the two is too big.

In fact, Gu fan thought that he could suppress the imperial edict, let the soldiers of the cloud wing Department of the forbidden army read it after the completion of the construction of Weifeng City, and let half of the soldiers of the cloud wing Department of the forbidden army go back to the capital city. In this way, not only did he avoid the problem of too much discrimination, but also he could speed up the progress of the construction of the city.

But after much consideration, Gu fan decided to tell his soldiers the truth.
