The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Ning Shan was about to laugh at this kind of nonsense: "I propose to change defenses, and I also hope that the garrisons in various places will not relax their vigilance and become more familiar with different environments, so that when they need to deploy additional troops at any time, no matter what kind of combat environment they face I can quickly meet the enemy. But I didn’t let the King of Nan’an fight across the sea because he was so eager for quick success that he was not even familiar with the water. Is it my fault that I lost the battle like this?”

King Beijing said: "The king of Nan'an has always been brave and upright. Naturally, he can't stand the enemy's provocation. Although he acts impulsively, he is also loyal to the country."

Ning Shan immediately sprayed him on the face: "A general who can't stabilize the morale of the army, is easily fooled, and sends troops down without knowing the depth. Treating the lives of the soldiers like a child's play, is also loyalty?"

The King of Beijing had never led a soldier before, so he could only talk empty words, and he simply said: "Ninghou talks eloquently, and seems to have insights. If he is sure, can he dare to fight? Defeat the Qianxiang Kingdom and save the King of Nan'an. Only in this way can you show your strength. Is the reasoning correct or not?" This is a blatant method of provoking generals, and Ning Shan has never led a naval force, so she only has experience in land warfare. If she is forced to fight without the cooperation of soldiers who are good at water, I am afraid it will be bad luck.

Jia Amnesty looked worriedly at the eldest son who was being attacked by the group of four kings and six princes headed by King Jingjing. For the first time in his life, he felt that Shui Rong's face was really hateful. When he treated Jia Baoyu preferentially and made a face for the second room, he didn't even think about it. It's been so horrible.

Ning Shan replied unhurriedly: "Young officials are not good at water stations, so naturally they are not worthy to lead troops into battle. However, there are generals who are good at water stations in the court. Old General Li, who used to defend the West Sea, can war."

Old General Li is the confidant of Lord Ning in the hearts of everyone. Of course, it is impossible for the King of Beijing to let the people from Ning Shan take credit, so he said: "Old General Li is also familiar with the tricks of the grassland tribes, and King Dongping just missed it." , can not be mobilized at this time, so as not to scatter the hearts of the people in northern Xinjiang."

Ning Shan volunteered: "The last general is willing to return to the frontier, and replace the old general Li with troops to attack the Qianxiang country. I am a great country, and surrender is absolutely impossible. It is also Qianxiang country's delusion to negotiate peace. Qianxiang country invades us. Territorial Sea, his heart can be punished, and he must be beaten back. As for King Nan'an, if he has the life to live to that time, he will naturally bring him back to question the crime."

As soon as the words fell, the court hall suddenly became noisy, and everyone was talking about it, and each faction was like a war of words.The most common thing is to scold Ning Shan for being ruthless and disregarding the life and death of King Nan'an.What's more, crying and howling to the two emperors should make Ning Shan go to sea to often feel defeated in water battles.

Ning Shan was furious: "You have an enmity with me, just kill the generals, those who want literature and martial arts, I will follow up, how can you speak arrogantly and use weapons to suppress the opponent with failure? You and I are both officials of Daxing. Don’t you put the people first? If you send incompetent generals and lose one more game, you will have to fight the Qianxiang Kingdom on land.” Now it is still within the scope of naval battles, except for merchant ships that cannot go to sea, fishermen collect their nets and go home , it would not be life-threatening.But once they attack the border, burn, kill and loot, all the people in the coastal areas will die.

Some military generals who had a good relationship with the Ning family couldn't help but came out to fight the injustice: "It is obvious that the king of Nan'an was greedy for meritorious deeds, and his command was weak, which caused the loss of troops and generals, and the destruction of warships. This is because he was incompetent in leading troops, and he was incapable of investigating and arranging troops. If it's a disadvantage, why blame Ning Hou who proposed to change defense?"

In order to get rid of the blame, Qin Tianjian hurriedly stood up: "Before Ning Hou proposed to change the defense, there was no sign of war, but after changing the defense, there was such a big problem. It can be seen that the weather is unfavorable, the location is bad, and the harmony of people is not good." Wonderful, the biggest mistake this time was still switching defenses."

Jia Zhen was able to go to the court against a third-rank general. Standing with Jia Lian, she couldn't help but rushed out at this moment: "If the officer remembers correctly, the Qin Tianjian had calculated it before sending troops. Say it’s good luck. Why do you say things differently after losing the battle?” Even if he is a rogue, he has no bottom line, and he is obviously not good at his own calculations, so he blames others?This kind of ability is not much better than his father's Huahua Taoist priest. How did he get into the Qin Tianjian?

And the impartial Ge Lao couldn't help but said: "Qianxiang Country has always been a vassal country of our dynasty, and the heroine has paid tribute every year since she took the throne. If that person didn't send troops to attack this time, there shouldn't be such a battle. The king of Nan'an made his own claim and sent troops to the subordinate country for the sake of the war. It would be disrespectful to the □□shang kingdom, and it would hurt the peace of heaven. It is his own fault to be captured."

The emperor had a headache from the quarrel, and the emperor did not like to hear such embarrassing battle reports. The two emperors couldn't help but dropped the tea bowl on the imperial case, and the emperor even smashed a jade lion paperweight. The scene was silent.

The emperor rubbed his forehead, and said first: "Ning Aiqing, the idea of ​​changing the defense was brought up by a substitute after all. Now that this has happened, let's not pursue who is responsible for it. I just ask, how should it end now? Do you have any idea?" plan?"

Ning Shan thought to herself: I knew that if it didn't work out, you would definitely blame me, so I really don't have the slightest responsibility.However, because the other party is the king, he had no choice but to reply with anger: "As I said just now, the reinforcements will fight again, and we must win before we stop. I suggest that General Li be in command."

The king of Beijing immediately connected, and said: "No, I said that the northern border also needs to be guarded by old general Li. We can't take care of one and lose the other. Now that Xihai has lost the battle, do we still want the northern border to start a war?"

Ning Shan couldn't bear it anymore, turned to King Beijing, and said angrily: "Didn't I say that I will defend the northern border? As long as the imperial decree is issued, I will set off immediately, travel day and night, and arrive in less than half a month. The northern border is where I fight." Those who come down can cooperate tacitly with all the soldiers, so what's wrong with changing Old General Li and returning to Xihai?"

The King of Beijing Jing was not willing to let Ning Shan take over the military power again, and immediately said to the Supreme Emperor: "This is another move to change defenses. I have already lost once before, so there is no guarantee that I will succeed this time. Why don't I let the Qin Tianjian do the divination again?" How about counting it as bad luck and then discussing it?"

Qin Tianjian was hastily throwing the blame away and said: "Winning or losing an army is a common matter in military affairs. There are too many unpredictable factors. I can't guarantee the accuracy of the divination. However, watching the stars the day before yesterday is not as good as maintaining the status quo." The implication is that I can't figure it out, you can do it with less trouble.

The Supreme Emperor has always trusted Qin Tianjian. At the beginning, when he was in poor health, he had to pass the throne. What he wanted in his heart was to pass on an incompetent emperor, so that he could still command behind the scenes, and only pushed a puppet to the stage to help him make some of his own body. It is the court affairs that cannot be supported.At that time, it was Qin Tianjian who calculated the horoscopes of all the princes one by one before deciding on the fourth child. He was really incompetent, but he was self-righteous and refused to listen to his assignments. Get him down, or just kill him.

As soon as Qin Tianjian Jianzheng refused, the Supreme Emperor voted for it: "The opinion of the widow is also the same. It is better to remain still than to move. The emperor has already made a big mistake, so it is better not to go his own way." Although it is embarrassing, it is also a great excuse to hold the fourth child. An emperor who is dizzy and defeated in battle will inevitably lose a lot of popular support. The weight of the Supreme Emperor in the previous dynasty was even heavier.

However, the Supreme Emperor looked around, and all the generals who met him looked away guiltyly.It’s not that they don’t want military exploits, it’s that King Dongping’s lineage has guarded the West Sea for too long, and other people have no room to intervene, and because Daxing only faces the sea, and the barren Guangdong and Guangxi areas are also coastal, But the sea ban over there, only sticks to the port, no one can enter or leave, and there is no account to fight. Now, except for Dongping Wang's lineage, no one has experience in naval warfare.

But don't mention that King Dongping just lost his lord in northern Xinjiang, and now he still has the courage to go to the West Sea to fight again. Let's just say that Qianxiang Kingdom has been a vassal for decades, has never fought a war, and is farther away Some Zhenzhen countries, Ryukyu countries, are even weaker, and they dare not come to provoke.So even though King Dongping claims to have been stationed in the sea for nearly a hundred years for four generations, it is true that only the first generation has fought naval battles.The remaining generations just held the military power, sat on the welfare, and divided up the tribute of the maritime merchants.If you really let him fight, the outcome is still unknown.

In the end, after much deliberation, she had to use Ning Shan.It just so happened that this kid didn't know which side he and the emperor were on, so he ordered his general.If he wins and saves King Nan'an, King Nan'an will naturally come and go frequently in order to thank him.What's more, he was originally from the Rongguo Mansion. The blood of the Jia family and his filial piety to Jia Amnesty meant that he was much easier to win over than others.Secondly, if this kid is defeated, he will be treated as the emperor's confidant, who just happens to be able to step on the fourth child, making him completely powerless to turn over, and has to give power to him, the abdicated emperor, to truly become The ideal puppet in his mind.

After such a calculation, it was the best choice to choose Ning Shan to send troops. Dang even said that he wanted Ning Shan to lead the expedition to the West Sea.

Ning Shan didn't know how many thoughts were going through the Taishanghuang's mind for a moment, but he couldn't compromise on his decision: "To the Taishanghuang, the general has already said that the general is not good at sea battles. Instead of ordering the general to go out, it is better to let Lao Lao The general is in command."

The Supreme Emperor said: "Now there is no time to wait for him to rush over from the northern border. It is faster if you start from Beijing and send troops directly."

That's true, but what's the use now!The point is who can win, isn't it?Ning Shan really wants to kneel to the brains of these two emperors. She knows that these two are not reliable, but she doesn't know that they can be even more unreliable!Letting generals who are not good at sea battles fight sea battles, isn't this giving food to people?It's not that he's timid, it's just that there is a more suitable candidate at the moment, why do you have to let him be an unsuitable person to lead the battle?Is this thinking that he will go to the top first, and then call old General Li for reinforcements?If so, it is not impossible to plan.It's just that no matter how Ning Shan thinks about it, she doesn't feel that the Supreme Emperor doesn't seem to be giving him backs.Just because of the fact that he has been letting Old General Li take charge all the time, Ning Shan felt that she had to support herself to the end in all likelihood.

Finally, Jia Amnesty couldn't help but interjected: "Actually, it's not bad to negotiate a peace. Since ancient times, the upper kingdom has been kind to the world, and hasn't it always sent princesses to make peace? Now it's done in the same way. It's not a legacy from the ancestors, and it shows the style of our great country." Anyway, there are so many royal princesses waiting to be married, it will save trouble to give one out, and if the quarrel continues, won't the eldest son be forced to fight?

No matter how stupid he was, he could understand that a land general couldn't fight a naval battle, even if his eldest son was called the "God of War" in northern Xinjiang, there was no guarantee that he would return victorious after going to the West Sea.This horrible King Nan'an, don't be a monster if you don't have the ability, just like him, just stay at home and wait for your son to be filial, wouldn't you?

Many people agree with Jia Amnesty's opinion. There are many princesses and more princesses.The royal family raised them with gold and jade, isn't it a good time for them to serve the king?Even a few county kings are eager to get married, and the daughter can't carry on the family line, so even if she was born in the clan, she is not valued so much.Therefore, after Jia Amnesty has finished his words, it is important to second him.

The emperor thought it was a good deal, he had a lot of daughters, and the emperor also had younger sisters, so he didn't feel bad about throwing out anyone who didn't have a good relationship with him.As for the dowry, they were all married off anyway, so didn't Qian Xiangguo offer a lot of betrothal gifts?Pack it up and put it back, maybe there will be some left over.

King Bei Jing also agreed: "Maybe it is what the princess wishes to be able to sacrifice for the common people. If there is a princess who is willing to voluntarily marry, she will be admired by all people, and her name will be left in history..."

Ning Shan couldn't help frowning and said: "Prince Beijing is so generous and has the whole world in his heart, I don't know if he is willing to marry the princess of your palace?" But she gave birth to a daughter, and she is not yet married. She is the princess of the Beijing Prince's Mansion, and her status is quite appropriate.It's just that although King Bei Jing has no feelings for this younger sister, but still wants to use her to win over someone who can be useful, he will definitely not send it to Haijiang.Apart from a reputation, what good will it do him to the Beijing Palace?Therefore, he said: "Now we are talking about princesses and relatives. If there are no princesses of the right age in the palace, it doesn't matter to choose the princess. However, since there are several princesses who are suitable, wouldn't it be insincere to use the princess instead?"

Ning Shan glared at him, to put it bluntly, it was because her daughter didn't feel sorry for her.Princesses who come to make marriages rarely have a long life, let alone be blessed. Those who win the battle and don’t want to continue to send them to make marriages can be regarded as marriages, but there are still some who are not valued and tortured to death.Now Qianxiang Kingdom still has the upper hand, and the heroine is in power again, and the married princess can live for three years, which is considered long.
