"This is the Protectorate, and there is no guilt in discussing matters! Why should you be careful about what you say?"

Kang Deming's face was slightly stern, his eyes widened, and he said dissatisfied: "Does it mean that our Xia Dynasty will be the same as the Eastern Dynasty? In the future, will the emperor sit in a high temple, and the ministers will not do their work every day, just go to court to pay homage to the emperor, should we meet with His Majesty?

Aren't they going to kneel down and kowtow three times? If the soldiers make a few complaints, are they going to be dragged out and beheaded? The captain of the Protectorate Mansion went against the wishes of some people and started firing blunderbuss like in the Eastern Dynasty. He set up the artillery and fired again.

Bombing the Protectorate?"

"Nonsense, this is alarmism!"

Yu Zangyun couldn't hold it back any longer and became angry, pointing at Kang Deming and scolding him.

"Alarmist? Your Majesty has been murdered by traitors! Can it be more alarmist than this?" Kang Deming stood up with veins on his forehead, patted the scabbard of his horizontal sword, and said angrily: "You turned a deaf ear and made a big mistake.

, but it’s too late to regret it.” His beard was taut and angry, as terrifying as Zhong Kui in the New Year painting. The sergeants in the signing room were okay, but a few weaker clerks and clerks were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

Bai, as if facing a ferocious beast, and as if he was afraid that the captains would quarrel and then attack, he stood as close to the wall as possible to avoid disaster. The room was quiet for a while, and only the sound of "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding" was heard.

The tea bowl bumped against the edge of the lid. Everyone looked over and saw that it was a clerk whose hands were shaking with fear.

"Brother Kang, please take a seat, please be patient." Yang Ren's face darkened, and he waved his hand to several civil servants to retreat.

"Can I not be in a hurry?" Kang Deming sat down, shook his head and said, "Brother Yang, you are the leader of the house. This is a big mistake. I don't say it casually." He picked up the bowl and took a sip, and sighed, "Here it is.

Iron from six states and forty-three counties is hard to make a mistake! This allusion turns out to be a lament about the fact that our generation of warriors were feared and killed by the superiors. Our Daxia Protectorate’s system of selecting the tripod by elite soldiers originated from the late Tang Dynasty, when the world

During the great chaos and the invasion of barbarians, the elite soldiers in each town were promoted to Jiedu. The corrupt Confucian history books of the Eastern Dynasty claimed that the soldiers were arrogant and chased the commander. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the elite soldiers of Weibo Town were famous in the world, and the Yabing of Weibo was known as the Silver Spear School Festival Capital.

He is the most powerful soldier in the world. However, as the saying goes, "Whether a sharp knife hurts someone's fingers," the knife wielder does not blame himself for not being good at martial arts, but blames the knife for being too sharp, even if it is hidden in the snow or destroyed.

Isn't it common in history? The tough soldiers in Weibo Town eventually made the superiors jealous. Even Luo Shaowei and Zhao Zaili, who were in Weibo Town during their two terms, regarded the tough soldiers in this town as a serious problem, and even did not hesitate to introduce foreign enemies and killed Wei Boya soldiers and their families.

They were all killed, tens of thousands of people died, and Yongji Canal turned red for them. After Luo Shaowei killed the soldiers, he cut off his limbs, but they were caused by foreign enemies. He couldn't help but pretend to be hypocritical, and sighed, "the iron armies of forty-three counties in six states are combined."

, it’s hard to make a mistake!’.”

"If we don't prevent this kind of thing early," Kang Deming said seriously, "Does Brother Yang still want it to happen again?"

Yang Ren and Yu Zangyun's expressions were gloomy and uncertain. What Kang Deming said, the captain of the Protectorate had somewhat considered. Because of this, for many years, the Protectorate had deliberately maintained control over the military and even deliberately squeezed out the royal family.

Honored nobles and relatives of the country hold military power.

"Strong words to make sense," Yu Zangyun saw Kang Deming asking, sneered, and said first: "The change in Yongji Canal was a matter of the former Tang Dynasty. How can it be far-fetched and attached to this dynasty? How can the Huguo Mansion be comparable to the powerful soldiers of the feudal town?"

"Captain Yu, open your eyes and look, who do you think you are? Without the National Protectorate, you are just an old soldier on the border?"

"How can I, the great sergeant of Great Xia, allow you to be so humiliated?!"

"Where is the foundation of the Protectorate?"

"The foundation of the national defense government lies in the hearts and minds of our military and the people."

"Bah! What a shameless statement,

Useless."

"Captain Yang, what do you think?"

Kang Deming looked unconcerned and only looked at Yang Ren.

"It is said in the army that His Majesty the Founding Emperor was proficient in spears, which seems to have been passed down from the Silver Spear Academy." Yang Ren said slowly, "Perhaps because of this, the Founding Emperor was able to recruit elite soldiers from all over the world and expand the borders of Guanzhong, Shuzhong and Hezhong.

Wanli rivers and mountains were settled in Xia, soldiers were used to herd households, and the five government offices jointly ruled the world. Therefore..."

"The Protectorate will not let down the Chen family, and the Chen family will not let down the Protectorate!"

"Therefore," Kang Deming glared at Yu Zangyun and said, "We are the ones who uphold the legacy of the founding emperor, not those rebellious officials and traitors who support the imperial dictatorship!"

Because he was born in Hezhong, he was accused by Yu Zangyun of colluding with the Hezhong rebellious party. Although he was finally freed from suspicion, he was extremely depressed. Whenever he had the opportunity, he accused Yu Zangyun of supporting the imperial power and being a flatterer in the Protectorate.

"Kang Deming!" Yu Zangyun was furious, clapped his sword and stood up, saying: "You are a slanderous fellow."

"What?" Kang Deming looked at him sideways and stood up with his chest raised, "Competition? Riding combat, foot combat, archery? You pick one."

"Okay! You, you..."

Yu Zangyun's face turned blue and black, and he pointed his halberd finger at him. He was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

"Shut up, everyone," Yang Ren said angrily, snapping the case, "You leaders are all leaders, can't you still work together as one at this time?"

Seeing that Yang Ren was angry, Yu Zangyun and Kang Deming both stopped talking and took their seats.

Yang Ren has always had great prestige in the Protectorate, which is half a step higher than Yu Zangyun and Kang Deming. What's even more rare is that although Yu Zangyun and Kang Deming each have supporters in the Protectorate, Yang Ren is fair in his dealings.

, in addition to the captains who are close to him, most of the captains who have no obvious tendency are more susceptible to Yang Ren's influence, especially for important events such as the establishment of Dingding, they can often be sure of their word.

"Since Zhao Xingde is in charge of the Firearms Department and there is a crisis in the river, let him agree to the promotion of the Guarding Camp to the rank of five thousand sergeants."

Yang Ren was silent for a long time and said in a deep voice: "The Marching Department of the General's Office has made suggestions regarding the mobilization of troops and horses. The Anbei Army Department has dispatched a large number of sergeants to participate in the Western Expedition some time ago. In the past few years, a large number of sergeants were dispatched to frighten the Russian princes.

The hinterland of Anbei Prefecture is empty, not much better than in the river. Seeing that the winter is approaching, the bandits and thieves are short of food, and some people have to be left to protect their homes. When the new emperor ascends the throne, the children of Guanzhong will not dare to go against the general rule of the world. If you protect the news

The Xingying camp can hold out against the rebels in the river for this winter. When the spring comes, the snow will melt away and new grass will grow. Then we can mobilize the Longxi people and horses to march westward and attack the rebels from east to west with the Protector Xingying camp to defeat the rebels."

"One winter is too long." Kang Deming frowned and said, "Can we allow the navy to transport food supplies from the sea so that the Western Expedition Army can return to quell the rebellion?"

"The food in the Song Dynasty is not enough." Yang Ren categorically rejected his suggestion. "The Song Dynasty was in chaos due to Cao Di's support, and various places were busy taking care of themselves. Most of the officials who were colonized by the Song people in the southwest sea were Chen Dong's party members, and they were trying their best to

In addition to self-protection, the soldiers and people who belong to them must be mobilized. In addition to self-protection, they must also transport food and salary to support the Lishe party in recruiting troops to defend themselves in Song Dynasty. There is no surplus food at all. What's more, it is okay for the navy to transport food and grass to Basra for the army to survive the winter, but it must be supported

When the army returns in winter, it has to collect a large number of camels, mules and horses, as well as a large amount of fodder for livestock. Therefore, even if the Western Expedition army can contain the Roma Turks with partial divisions, the army will not return to the river until the spring grass has grown.

Slowness will not help."

"Alas -" Kang Deming originally knew this, but he didn't understand Song Dynasty as well as Yang Ren.

country’s situation.

The three of them made arrangements for the important matters, and then discussed it some more.

How to convene a meeting of the Protector's Office, how to approve the establishment of a new king in order, and how to allow the expansion of the Protector's Camp to be promoted to sergeants, etc., have to be implemented clearly by the Secretary's Office of the Protector's Office, the chief historians and other staff. The rules for the inheritance of the Xia Kingdom's imperial line are clear. , and the law of primogeniture requires that the eldest son of the family has no immorality, and even God cannot deprive him of his right to inherit. Therefore, since his birth, Prince Chen Chong has been recognized by all parties as the natural successor to the throne. There was no objection to supporting the new king. If the prestigious captains such as Yang Ren, Kang Deming, and Yu Zangyun did not go behind the scenes to initiate impeachment, naturally no one would dare to oppose the crown prince's accession to the throne.

Early the next morning, the lieutenants stationed in Dunhuang gathered at the National Defense Mansion. After Yang Ren announced the agenda, it only took a quarter of an hour for the lieutenants to approve the appointment of Prince Chen Chong as the new king under the witness of Prime Minister Yang Ren. Although the new monarch has not yet officially ascended the throne, after the new monarch Chen Chong arrived in Dunhuang, the Protectorate Palace could hold the enthronement ceremony as soon as possible. Before noon that day, the oath of the Crown Prince's enthronement as king was sealed and enshrined in the Ancestral Temple. At the same time, , the tablet of the late Emperor Chen Xuan also returned to the Tomb of the National Soldiers to rest in peace. Each captain, with ten Tiger Wing Army sergeants, quickly sent the new rubbings of the Oath to Protect the Country to the Prime Minister's Palace, Zhuguo Palace, Bachelor's Palace and the Grand Palace respectively. General's Mansion. In the afternoon, the Prime Minister's Mansion issued a Jun Order to inform state and county capitals of the news of the new emperor's accession to the throne. The Zhuguo Mansion issued a Jun Order to inform the tribunes of various places of the news of the new emperor's accession to the throne. The Bachelor's Mansion issued a Jun Order to notify the news Notify all prefectures, counties, townships and schools. The general's office issued a pigeon letter to convey the news of the new king's accession to the Andong Military Division, Anxi Military Division, Anbei Military Division, the Western Expedition Army, the Guardian Camp and all the armies in central Sichuan.

After the new king takes the throne, he will announce to the world that if any soldiers or civilians violate the oath to protect the country and cause rebellion, the world will attack them together.

On the same day, the Huguo Mansion sent Colonel Yu Zangyun, escorted by hundreds of Tiger Wing Army sergeants, to Guandong to welcome Prince Chen Zhong to the throne.

Before Yu Zangyun left, the Protectorate issued a dove letter, in the most stern tone, ordering the Anton Military Division and the Guandong Camp General Wu Jie. All armies must stay at their bases and not prevent Prince Chen Zhong from passing Hangu Pass. Return to Dunhuang and ascend the throne, otherwise, he will be the common enemy of the National Protectorate and the sergeants of the world, including the Guanzhong sergeants. Not only that, after supporting Dingding, the National Protectorate also suddenly became harsh in its tone towards the early actions of Guanzhong, pointing at Wu Jie and others The so-called "neutrality" of senior officials in Guanzhong is only one step away from rebelling against the party. If Wu Jie and others persist in their obsession, the National Protectorate will no longer tolerate it and will directly label all the generals in Guanzhong as rebels against the party, and the whole world will punish them.

The pigeon book spread like snow to Chang'an, Luoyang and other important towns in Guanzhong, immediately breaking the fragile balance.
