Chapter 1308
Wufeng lay on the soft easy chair and signaled that Bo Jinchen would not have to be restrained and took his seat at will. Although this separate conversation between the two was not the first time for Bo Jinchen, he still felt a kind of depression and restraint in the face of His Highness of the King of Qin who was about to ascend to the throne. Different identities often cause some psychological obstacles and barriers to consciously or unconsciously. Although some are not artificial, they are real. His Highness of the King of Qin seems to have to deliberately eliminate the existence of such obstacles to choose this kind of private occasion to talk. Bo Jinchen did not feel flattered, but he also knew that the other party must have something important to discuss with him. As for why Ling Tianfang was not summoned, it was not something Bo Jinchen could understand.
Wufeng has never paid much attention to enjoyment. Although he is already a prince and is about to ascend the throne, this Yum Palace is still quite satisfied with Wufeng. The palace has been cleaned and repaired and can only be moved in after the throne ceremony is completed. However, Wufeng is a little nostalgic about the atmosphere here. At least this atmosphere and environment can allow him to sit together and talk in a close relationship with his subordinates. After entering the palace, it may not be easy to achieve this effect.
"Green ants freshly roasted wine, a small red mud stove. When you come late, you will be in the snow. Can you drink a glass without a drink? Come, come, today we have nothing to do, and we can try this authentic Shaoxing rice wine sent from Jiangnan to warm up our bodies." The charcoal stove is red and the heat flows everywhere. Wufeng smiled and poured a glass out of the small jar. The sweet and mellow smell of wine suddenly rippled indoors. People are drunk without getting drunk, and they are drunk before drinking.
Bo Jinchen knew that this King of Qin was not good at drinking, and at most a common banquet was slightly touching his lips to deal with the matter. It was rare to invite him to taste wine today. However, Bo Jinchen was a refreshing person, especially after joining Wufeng's command, he put aside all his worries and felt much more refreshing than before. In addition, he liked to drink two glasses. Today, he could drink two glasses of this specialty rice wine from Jiangnan in such cold weather. He would not be polite. He simply sat aside with a golden knife while drinking it himself, while sighing and admiring, never asking what the other party asked him to come.
Wufeng was also quite patient, but he picked up a glass of rice wine and took a sip and put it down countless times. Then he savored it for a long time before he took a sip and put it down again. It also had a sense of pleasure.
After drinking for thirty years, Bo Jinchen also had a little bit of alcohol. At this time, it was the time when the wine was in full swing. With a hint of alcohol, Bo Jinchen did not have so much concern. He glanced at Wufeng and said, "Your Highness summoned Jinchen today and was afraid that there was something to discuss with Jinchen?"
"Well, just drink and talk." Wu Feng took a sip of wine, smacked his lips and said casually: "There has been a ceasefire over Duoduan. They have accepted our conditions. The situation in Okhotsk has been controlled. The construction of several fortresses is very fast. It seems that the First Legion and the Eighth Legion can be withdrawn."
While siping a small sip of wine, Bo Jinchen was also thinking about the meaning of the other party's words. The ceasefire was not new news. It had already reached an agreement, but it was just waiting to be fulfilled. It was reasonable to implement it now. Cui Wenxiu has already taken office as the commander of the Central Continental Front Army. The First Legion must be used to fight against Machikhan, but the Eighth Legion will soon be withdrawn. So who will bear the defense of Okhotsk and Yanyun? A legion of the Fifth Legion will definitely not be able to bear such a long front defense. How can the Eighth Legion cope without the Eighth Legion?
"Does Your Highness want the Eighth Legion to come down for training or have other arrangements? Without the Eighth Legion, the Third Legion will have to take on this important task. However, if the Third Legion is allowed to go north, then we will have a vast imperial land from the Central Plains to Jiangnan and even the Wuhu area. In addition to a Ninth Legion that has not yet been reorganized and an eleventh Legion that is still being formed, then there is only the Imperial Guard Legion whose combat effectiveness and loyalty still need to be tested in the city." Bo Jinchen's words directly ruled out the First Legion. The First Legion obviously cannot stay in the hinterland of the Central Plains. The eastern part of Sanjiang has not yet been recovered. The First Legion must have and the Sixth Legion, and may even mobilize the Second Legion to unite to launch a recovery battle in Sanjiang. This is not a secret.
"Do Jinchen think this is not appropriate?" Wufeng also wanted to listen to the other party's opinions on this issue.
"The Third Legion has no problem with the Northern Defense, but the Ninth Legion, the 11th Legion under construction, the Imperial Guard Corps with an undetermined status, and even the Eighth Legion, are not the troops you really brought out by Your Highness. There are four huge legions gathered in this imperial capital and around the imperial capital, but there is no absolutely loyal force here. Jinchen thinks that the risk is too great. Once something happens, it may lead to an irreversible disaster."
Bo Jinchen did not care about the negative effects that his words might bring. Since His Highness the King of Qin asked about his opinions, he needed to truthfully reflect his views, and there was no need to worry about anything else.
Nodded slightly, Wufeng also felt that his arrangement seemed to be a little unsuitable, but he never found anything wrong. It was not until the other party mentioned that he realized this problem. None of the four legions around him was his own direct army. The Ninth Legion was reorganized by Situ Biao's troops, and the 11th Legion was formed by the remnants selected from the Northern Army and the City Guards. The Eighth Legion and Cheng Dayou's troops, although the military achievements were brilliant, were almost completely formed by the original Dayou's troops. Although the Imperial Guards were in charge, most of the troops were still the original Tanghe Empire Imperial Guards. As long as any of these armies suddenly provoked the banner of rebellion, they might trigger a chain reaction. If he did not have a strong enough army in the imperial capital, it might really make a mistake and a failure would be a thing of eternal regret.
"Jinchen said something is reasonable, but how do you think we should make arrangements?" Wufeng asked back.
"Jinchen thought that the Third Legion still needed to act as His Highness's Imperial Guard. The organization of the Ninth Legion was not disbanded. It had enough troops to be fully qualified for the defense mission in the north. Moreover, this army did not have much alliance with the northern places and the Liberians, so there was no need to worry about this. As for the Imperial Guard, if His Highness thought it was indeed difficult to resettle, it might as well set them as the city guards like the Tanghe Empire before, and change them.
It's just a name. The Imperial Guards are renamed the Imperial Tiger Guards, stationed on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital. The Third Corps can be renamed the Royal Tiger Ben Army, stationed in the city. Among them, the First Division of the Tiger Ben Army is still called the Tiger Wing Army, stationed around the Imperial City, so that the situation in the Imperial Capital can be effectively controlled. As for the 11th Corps, after it is formed, it can be stationed in the south of the East China Sea as a town army guarding the eastern part of the Empire. This Eighth Corps seems to have other arrangements, so Jin Chen dare not make any mistakes."
Bo Jinchen also guessed that Wufeng intended to use Cheng Dayou, and intentionally mentioning Cheng Dayou in the selection of commander of the front army in the Mainland was a signal. Although he knew it was unlikely that he would let him take over the 400,000 army, this brief mention also allowed all the people to understand that His Highness Qin was intentionally required to use the other party to take on important responsibilities, and also laid a psychological foundation for everyone to take on important positions in the future.
Bo Jinchen's words made Wu Feng quite inspire. It should be said that Bo Jinchen's arrangements took into account the actual situation in all aspects, especially the establishment of the Tiger Guards and the Hu Ben Army, which not only resolved the embarrassment brought by the Imperial Guards of the Tanghe Empire, but also allowed the original Imperial Guards to successfully fade out of the stage in the imperial capital. Didn't Huangfu Tiancheng always hope to lead an army to expedition outside the territory? That happened to be the case that this nominal Tiger Guards could allow him to try to make achievements. Even the Tiger Guards Wu Feng did not intend to stay in the imperial capital. An army that did not fight, no matter how glorious and brilliant its predecessor was, it could only become an embroidered pillow, which was not useful. Wu Feng did not want his army to repeat the mistakes of the Tanghe Empire.
"Is there any ambush in front of me? Your idea is very good. As for the Eighth Legion, I do have some ideas. I recruit you today to discuss the goal of the Eighth Legion with you. I guess you are also clear about the war between the South and the Maqikhans. I plan to let the First Legion and the Sixth Legion take the main force, the Second Legion and the Fourth Legion cooperate. Depending on the situation, I think the goal should be achieved. The Eighth Legion, I want Cheng Dayou to go to the southwest to explore." Wufeng slowly expressed his thoughts.
