Chapter 50 Center of Gravity
Faced with the upcoming meeting of the kings, the imperial capital media also expressed their indifference unexpectedly. Even if there were only words, it was just some old tunes such as the kings working together to create the glory of the empire, and there was no big novelty. However, with the official entry of the kings, many social activities suddenly became rich. Although the princes may not be invited, it would be a good choice if the powerful officials from all over the world who came with the princes to invite them to attend the meeting. These people are very influential people everywhere. No matter the end of this meeting of the kings, it is only beneficial and not harmful to make friends with these people, especially for officials, gentry and merchants who are far away from the center of the court.
Su Qin and Wang Liao naturally became the most popular figures in the upper class in the imperial capital. Especially Su Qin, who is not only known as the famous scholars in Jiangdong, but also has a gentle and extraordinary literary talent. In addition, he is now in charge of diplomatic affairs of half of the empire and is one of the best celebrities in front of the King of Qin. If he can make friends with these people, he can travel at least in Western Xinjiang. In addition, there are few officials in Western Xinjiang who come to the imperial capital and come quietly. Now that the Ming Dynasty is here, social engagements are naturally indispensable.
Wufeng did not have such good luck. Faced with the assassination that could occur at any time, he could only stay in the house beside the city gate and wait for the formal meeting to be held. The news provided by Jin Wanyi was not confirmed from other aspects. Although Wufeng had concerns in this regard, the news obtained from other channels showed that Situ Biao also tended to support Situ Lang to continue as the emperor, and the imperial capital should also maintain the status quo, controlled by the imperial guards who did not belong to any force, and the actual control of the four princes of the empire.
The district should resolve disputes through negotiation, but not refute them with force. This is generally consistent with Wufeng's opinion. Wufeng can also hear Situ Biao's implication, that is, the territory outside the territory of the four princes, including Situ Yuan, can take action without interference, and Cheng Dayou will naturally become his target. Wufeng even doubts that Situ Biao has some kind of tacit understanding with Situ Tai on this point? Since we can achieve tacit understanding in this regard, what other aspects will the two have? What secret agreements will the two have?
There is no way to know all this, but there is one thing Wufeng is very clear about. Everything is based on his own strength. I fantasizing how much help the other party can provide to him is undoubtedly taking risks in his own life. The military adjustment and deployment in Jinzhong have basically ended. Two cavalry regiments and three divisions have been in place. Even the two cavalry regiments and two army divisions have been placed in the junction of Jinzhong and Zhongzhou to conduct adaptive synthetic exercises. The two thousand transport vehicles in the transportation camp have also been put into Jinzhong. One army division can be placed under the imperial capital city within one day. The strong military strength is the guarantee for the survival of Western Xinjiang.
According to Wufeng's request, the Western Front Army in Qinghe also carried out large-scale military exercises one after another. In addition to two Ranger regiments stationed in the Tengri Grassland for a long time, the four cavalry regiments were transferred to the Qinghe-Longquan-Jinzhong line. With the formations set up by as many as six infantry divisions, the eastern front of Zhongzhou was almost astonishing as the wind and wind. No one knew that the King of Qin was talking about peace and prosperity, but at the same time, he conducted military exercises inappropriately at this time. What medicine was sold in this gourd, but anyone with a discerning eye could clearly see that the King of Qin had absolutely no intention of giving up the two counties of Beiyuan and Heshuo.
Cui Wenxiu was a little irritated and ran wildly on the loess land in Jinzhong. Although it had rained a few times since the beginning of spring, Jinzhong originally had a loess structure. The nature of the soil determines that the ground in Jinzhong is not the main grain-producing area. Fortunately, the abundant coal resources under the loess made up for this. The dozen riders following him rolled up a rush, rolling up smoke and dust several meters high, like a rolling yellow dragon forward. The ground was a little bumpy, but this did not affect the team of knights running on horseback. Perhaps the strong wind that came to his face could make people feel a little more comfortable.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the sunlight is a little hot under the azure sky. As the war ceases, Jinzhong and Hejian are connected, and the exchanges between the two places have begun to recover. Everything seems to have changed. What should be done or what should be done. The empire's change of hands is only loud and thunder is small, and there are even no rain at all. The Jinzhong Incident investigation team from the military and supervisory department has been staying in Jinzhong Prefecture for almost a week. Maybe it is known that it was already known.
It is impossible to achieve any results in this kind of investigation. The members of the investigation team liked the gold coins in the pockets of the Jinzhong coal mine owners and the bitches in the fireworks yard in the city of Jinzhong. Although these guys were worse than garbage, they had more or less related to the imperial capital. The old local wealthy people in Jinzhong were still happily greeted the door when they received the call from these guys, fearing that the poor hospitality would bring disaster, which made Cui Wenxiu feel extremely depressed.
Your Highness didn't know what he was thinking about. He seemed to become indecisive after entering the imperial capital. Cui Wenxiu didn't like the current gentle feeling. Everything had to be resolved through negotiations. What would the army do? Everyone just waited to see the diplomats' performances. Of course, this was just Cui Wenxiu's idea on a whim. As a main general of the army, he certainly knew that military operations must obey political needs. The imperial capital was right in front of him, and even Song Tianxiong's division had entered the city to control the Ximen. Is there anything else to hesitate in this situation? As long as these three divisions in his hands entered the imperial capital and had two other cavalry regiments as supplements, the imperial capital could be completely in the hands of Xijiang. Wouldn't such an ending be bad?
Subconsciously shook his head, Cui Wenxiu let go of her legs that clamped the horse's belly, slowly slowing down the speed of the strong horse under her crotch. A wild running also relieved her somewhat of a suffocating state of mind. If this idea is exposed in front of the hall, I am afraid that I will end up with a comment that doesn't understand politics. Cui Wenxiu certainly knows the complex artistic conception contained in the word politics. As long as the word politics is involved in the word "politics", it will suddenly become complicated. War is no exception. No wonder some people say that the person who really determines the direction of a large war is definitely a politician rather than a soldier. This sentence is really incisive.
His Highness of Qin also gradually transformed from a military commander to a qualified or even excellent politician. This is Cui Wenxiu's evaluation of his old boss, but this is not a derogatory evaluation. It should be said that Cui Wenxiu believes that his old boss is a unity of advantages between the two, but in many cases, he is more a politician. To rule such a large land in Western Xinjiang, tens of millions of people, a qualified military commander is far from enough. An excellent military commander is not good either. However, a qualified politician can accomplish many things that the army cannot do. This phenomenon seems to illustrate an irrefutable truth. The people need politicians to be better than the military commander. It sounds a bit harsh at first, but the fact is that the people prefer the latter between war destruction and peaceful development, unless they can no longer survive.
However, Cui Wenxiu can also see that His Highness Qin has a very appropriate grasp of the role changes between politicians and military commanders. When the situation requires him to become military commanders, he will immediately complete the role change and immediately devote himself to his new role.
The chaotic thoughts have been entangled in Cui Wenxiu's heart. Although the synthetic military exercises continued, Cui Wenxiu was not very interested. This exercise was purely out of intimidation and was boring for him. What he was more interested in was what the kings about to open would only bring. The First Legion in Guanxi also made Cui Wenxiu wonder for a long time. Could Your Highness intends to go east to the Five Lakes? His Highness frequently meets the generals of the Water Camp in the Five Lakes seem to have proved this, but Cui Wenxiu never believed this. In his opinion, seizing the imperial capital is the top priority in all military operations. No matter how much political pressure the imperial people will bring to Western Xinjiang, as long as the imperial capital is captured, those attacks, insults, and sooner or later will pass away with the wind. The pens of literati can only write history but not change history. Let them write whatever they are willing to write.
Cui Wenxiu has actually noticed some of the clues. The more important significance of the First Legion in Kansai is to threaten and suppress Situ Biao. The focus of the war seems to be on the northern line or the middle line. Of course, Cui Wenxiu hopes to be the middle line, but whether Your Highness dares to make this decision Cui Wenxiu has no idea. Perhaps Your Highness is also having a headache about this problem.
Forget it, for nothing, thinking so much is useless. Cui Wenxiu looked up and looked at the middle-aged man who had already followed behind. This guy's riding skills were also quite good, and he could catch up with him so quickly.
"Old Ying, you are not bad at riding. Where did you practice it?" So he took the horse and let the other party go side by side with him. Cui Wenxiu had little contact with this man. He never thought that this guy would be a secret line arranged by His Highness the King of Qin. This guy made a great contribution in Jinzhong's battle. If this guy hadn't started it in time, I was afraid that Yusufu's city guard army would control Jinzhong and want to seize it, I don't know how much effort it would take.
"Brother Cui has won the award. I only practiced it in the army, but I like to ride horses. It turns out that there are not many cavalry corps in the Imperial Army. At that time, I would rather go to the Cavalry corps as the deputy captain than to be the infantry corps commander for this hobby. Unfortunately, the Empire does not attach enough importance to cavalry in this regard, and there is still no serious cavalry division."
