Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1014

[Chapter 1007 Wang Xuan’s information]

Xiao Ming signed the order to attack the British and French colonies. There is no important reason for the imperial edict to be used without it.

He is still used to signing documents for some trivial orders.

Looking at Cui Shangan, he said: “How does it feel to be the chief of general staff?”

“Thank you to the emperor for his kindness. All this is a gift from the emperor. The general’s feeling is naturally grateful.” Cui Shangan organized his words.

Xiao Ming smiled and said, “We are a family. Speaking of which, you are still my brother-in-law, so there is no need to say such polite words.”

Cui Shangan’s heart suddenly felt as sweet as honey. To him, there is nothing better than this sentence. The words became more serious, and he was at a loss and said: “Your Majesty…”

“Hahaha, don’t be nervous. I came to you today to formulate a war plan in Nanyang and make overall arrangements for the war.” “He handed Cui Shangan a plan he had drawn up.

Cui Shangan suppressed his excitement, took the plan about Nanyang and read it. He wrote the general direction of attack on this piece of paper, and more details. They still need to improve, after all, an emperor needs to handle a lot of government affairs to govern a huge country, and he cannot do everything in detail.

“When the general returns, he will organize the staff to formulate combat plans and allocate supplies and equipment. “Cui Shangan said sternly. He cherishes his current position and dare not make any negligence.

Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction. He has actually been thinking about Cui Shangan’s use for a long time and observed it for a long time. In fact, the use of Cui Shangan in the past few years has been The suppression was intentional, just to see Cui Shangan’s temper.

The result satisfied him. Although Cui Shangan was a little frustrated, he still did his duty and did not rely on his Huainan Kingdom to provoke disputes

. Success, but if Cui Shangan gave orders, a large number of people would respond,

and Cui Shangan was also conscientious in specific positions, so he promoted Cui Shangan after consideration. However, the General Staff Department looked very bluffing, but in fact it was just the same. He is his secretary in the army.

Cui Shangan has become his close minister, but he still has no military power, so there is nothing to worry about. In addition, the internal fighting in the court is getting more and more intense, and he is unwilling to promote the people recommended by Pang Yukun. , and is not willing to promote the person recommended by Fiji, only Cui Shangan is the most suitable.

After all, Cui Shangan is also a relative of the emperor. He once participated in the crusade against King Yan, and King Zhao made great achievements. Others can’t say anything.

“By the way, there is also this! “Xiao Ming picked up another signed order, “This is for Qi Guangyi, the commander of the Northwest Military Region. Now that the Lancers have taken shape, let him quickly advance westward to destroy the barbarian’s golden tent.

“Yes, Your Majesty!

“

“Cui Shangan performed a military salute.

Xiao Ming nodded, and then asked: “Is King Huainan okay recently? I haven’t seen him for a while. Cui Shangan suddenly felt embarrassed when he mentioned

this

. He said: “My father has always been in good health, but he has become obsessed with drama recently. He goes to the theater to listen to plays every day when he is free. However, something happened two days ago, and he took an official to the theater. Got beaten. “

The old king of Huainan is getting stronger and his skills are still as good as before. I have heard about this and I am right to fight.” “Xiao Ming said with a smile. He just received a memorial yesterday. The content of the memorial was to accuse King Huainan of beating people.

Since becoming the emperor, Xiao Ming can no longer believe in memorials. As Concubine Zhen said, the most unacceptable thing in the world is

The emperor was sitting in the palace, leaving the world to the official’s memorial, so he sent someone to investigate, and sure enough, the King of Huainan had indeed beaten someone,

but there was a reason for it

.

The official’s son openly molested a civilian girl in the theater, which prompted King Huainan to take action.

He knew that someone would take advantage of him.

Xiao Ming asked Cui Shangan to go back after mentioning this matter. He has been focusing on fighting in the north and south, but his team has more and more problems.

He has to admit that this is a sequelae of his rapid development. In ten years, the country of Chongqing has developed from a cold weapon country to an industrial country. .

This kind of growth is too fast, and generally speaking, the faster the growth, the more problems are ignored. Simply put, people’s thinking in this era lags behind the speed of national development, or the quality of the people has not kept up with development.

This has resulted in people enjoying advanced materials while still living in old ideas. After all, the promotion of New Confucianism is most effective for those who have not yet accepted traditional ideas, and

has

limited change for those who have been contaminated by old ideas.

Just as contemporary people in their 70s and 80s cannot tolerate young people playing with mobile phones all day long, this is part of the generation gap of the times. It is precisely because of this that the idea of officialdom is still strong in the empire, and

a certain degree

of aristocratic officials have always existed.

The tyranny of officials’ children is not just due to the incident of King Huainan.

It is also the case in Qingzhou. There are many such officials’ children in the whole country.

But now he only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, because almost 80% of the people in the empire. All of the officials were old officials from the Great Chongqing Kingdom, especially in the south. Taking over such a huge area, the few people in the Government Affairs College were a drop in the bucket.

Now he could only wait for the growing new generation to replace them. Before that, He could only suppress them with all his strength to prevent these people from having a worse impact.

Thinking of this, he specifically instructed the Security Department to arrest this troublesome official’s son. Logically speaking, it was ridiculous for him as an emperor to care about such a trivial matter, but in order to give him a better life. The officials reminded him that he could only intervene in person.

Just as he was about to give orders to the guards, a wealthy man suddenly walked in and said, “Your Majesty, Wang Xuan wants to see you. “

Let him in.” “

Xiao Ming said, Wang Xuan has been building the intelligence system of Goryeo and Japan during this period in order to deepen his control over these two areas. Qian Dafu

said yes, turned around and went out, and Wang Xuan walked in after a while.

After bowing and saluting, Wang Xuan said: “Your Majesty, there have been some subtle changes in the Japanese country, which makes me a little uneasy. I came here to report to the Emperor.”

“Tell me.”

After pondering for a while, Wang Xuan said: ” The current civil strife in Japan is becoming more and more intense, and the rebels composed of farmers, businessmen, and samurai have put forward the slogan of reform and asked Yamada Nobunaga to learn from the empire. “

Reform” Xiao Ming frowned. stand up.

After the Japanese country signed the surrender document, the civil strife in the Japanese country has not stopped. Yamada Nobunaga has been suppressing the rebellion. He did not pay much attention to this. After all, the Japanese country has many famous names, and wars are common.

But now the rebels have actually put forward slogans similar to national reform, which is problematic, and it is quite similar to the Meiji Restoration.
