Chapter 955 Prelude to Expansion
I know very well what Rengui looks like. Liu Rengui has mentioned his daughter many times to me. Well, according to Liu Rengui, his daughter looks like his father, that is to say, the father and daughter look similar, while Liu Rengui has a manly face, and his eyebrows are slightly eight sons and his nose is very big. Well, from this, we can conclude that this is a female version of Liu Rengui.
Xi Junmai actually has the courage, or the perseverance to marry this eldest daughter Liu. I really have to admire the courage of this new generation of famous general. But thinking about it is true that he is in his thirties, and it is too unreasonable to not marry a wife. Besides, Liu Rengui gets along very well with him now, and becoming a father-in-law and son-in-law is not a big deal. Just like Uncle Li and I have developed from a confidant to a father-in-law and son-in-law relationship? However, Uncle Li's daughters are all very beautiful, which makes me feel very relieved. What's even more gratifying is that Uncle Cheng's daughter is not like her father at all, but is similar to my beautiful mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Otherwise, I would have really wanted to die.
However, Xi Junmai was not very old. She was only 33 years old when she got married last year, and Liu Rengui's daughter was nearly twenty years old, which happened to be paired up. Well, no one was at a loss. Xi Junmai was just a small soldier leader in Longyou in his early years. In those years, wars broke out frequently in Longyou, with Tuyuhun, Tubo, Gaochang and Western Turks, almost every year, Xi Junmai had no chance to marry a wife. Now, Liu Rengui, a fourth-rank general, is now the same as the second-rank senior official, who was promoted from a third-rank senior official. It is faster than this young master. To be honest, we are really unbalanced.
However, this kind of imbalance in his heart is more of a sense of accomplishment. I personally begged Uncle Li several times before I asked him to come from Longyou. As for Liu Rengui, I also spent twenty artillery pieces to rescue him from the veteran Zhang Liang. Although these two people didn't say anything, whenever they communicated with me, the trivial things between the lines were revealed. This made me happiest.
"Then why don't you bring your sister-in-law too? It's better for me to meet you." I raised the wine cup at Xi Junmai, drank it all, and looked at the side with a squint. Zou Fengchi seemed to be very clear about his positioning, and he would not take the initiative to please someone. However, when someone talked to him, he answered politely. However, it seemed that he and Zheng Xuyou had a common language.
------------------------------------------------
Zheng Xuyou was originally a rebellious person in the Zheng family and did not like studying. He liked to do business very much. Zheng Xuyou was the deputy general manager of the Tang Dynasty's Royal Money Store, and he was in charge of these two people. In addition, there were accountants stationed by shareholders. This allowed me not to put too much thought on this money store. After all, I still know the ability to make money in this emerging industry.
"It's not that I don't want to take her back to Chang'an, but because she is pregnant, I'm afraid she'll be giving birth in two months. So, I asked my father-in-law to take care of her. Because it's too far away to let the mother and mother go to the Persian Protectorate. It's better to wait in Chang'an for a few years. At that time, the term of office expires. It's not too late to return to Chang'an again." Xi Junmai said with a smile.
I nodded: "That's true. Anyway, it's only a few years. When you come back, I'm afraid you'll be at least a third-rank general. Hehe, at that time, don't forget it. Please let us brothers have a good time, otherwise you will be let go."
Xi Jun smiled honestly: "That's for sure. Brother Jun has spoken. Can I still accept it? It's a pity that I didn't see Brother Dingfang and the others when I came back this time, which is really a pity."
I nodded: "Yes, it would be great if you could have come back half a year earlier. Now, they are already squatting in the southern border. Well, do you know the matter in the southern border?" Xi Junsai nodded: "I know this. This time, Brother Dingfang and others are afraid that they will expand the territory for my Tang Dynasty again." Xi Junsai said with some regret.
"What? You can't expand your territory in the Persian Protectorate?" I said angrily to Xi Junmai. Xi Junmai shook his head and said slowly. Uncle Li's order was to ask him to go to the Persian Protectorate to command the Tang Dynasty Expeditionary Force, but there was another order, which was to let him listen to Wang Xuance's opinions more, but this Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai didn't know this person.
When Xi Junmai said this, she looked at me with a smile, "You are the one who is a stern person. Honest people know how to be cheated and have you been foolish in front of me?" I glanced at Xi Junmai. "Hmph, I said, Brother Junmai, why are you so unreasonable? Do you have to ask me to take the initiative to help you, so that you can accept it reluctantly?"
Xi Junmai saw me angry expression and quickly apologized, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Jun, I'm not worried about it."
Although I also know that you have interactions with that Lord Wang, but
I picked up the wine cup and touched Xi Jun, took a big gulp of wine and wiped my mouth and smiled, "You are so kind to you. I know very well. If you go there, you will find that this person will definitely suit your appetite. Just ten days ago, his memorial was just delivered. In the memorial, he hoped to allocate the land of the Persian Protectorate to those volunteers in the Great Tang Expedition, and hoped that the court would set the Persian Protectorate as a new distribution land in the Tang Dynasty so that the people of the Tang Dynasty could have enough number to protect the Persian Protectorate. Moreover, those injured soldiers who were unwilling to return to the Tang Dynasty could marry and have children in the local area, and each family could obtain two crossbow horses, five pairs of slaves, and two hectares of fertile land to settle the basic assets. The slaves and horses were paid by the Persians, and the fields were taken by the Persians."
Xi Junmai naturally could tell what it meant, that is, in the eyes of Wang Xuance and Uncle Li, the Persian Protectorate was just a starting point, not an end point, in the eyes of Wang Xuance and Uncle Li. In other words, he would definitely make great achievements when he went there. "Your Majesty asked you to listen to Wang Xuance's land, because Wang Xuance was a genius. Now, Persia, the Caspian Sea, and the Aral Sea countries are very respectful and admired by my Tang Dynasty. This is certainly because my Tang Dynasty is extremely powerful.
But it is impossible to say that his talent played a great role in this. However, military strength is his weakness, so Your Majesty specially transferred you to the place. Because you were from Longyou, among the two elite recruits, there are many veterans who have retired from Longyou. Another thing is that your achievements in recent years are very appreciated by Your Majesty. Moreover, you can destroy all the opposition forces of Fujiwara Domain, so that my Tang Dynasty Fujiwara Domain has become a place of peace for the people. There, it is really unwise to put a strong general like you, so Your Majesty decided to transfer you to it. After you arrive there, you two will control the Caspian Sea and the Aral Sea countries, and you must be careful in everything."
------------------------------------------------
At this time, Duan Yunsong finally escaped from the scumbags and walked over, blushing. It was obvious that this guy was half drunk. He almost tied his tongue when he spoke: "June, you guy has been promoted again. To be honest, brother, I am really a little jealous of you, alas..."
"Brother Yunsong, don't be upset. Look at you, have you forgotten that you have been in Liaodong for more than a year and have been a monk for half a year?" I smiled at Duan Yunsong. Sure enough, this guy smiled embarrassedly and scratched his head: "Hehe, it's just that I've eaten too much, it's just that I'm tired of eating. Well, brother Jun, this time I go to the Persian Protectorate, and I will definitely be able to achieve great things. Oh, why don't we have that blessing?"
I patted his shoulder: "I'm so anxious, Brother Dingfang and the others have gone out? Now Xi Junmai has also sent it out. I guess it won't take long. Your Majesty will catch your strong man."
"I'm so eager to catch it. Otherwise, if I stayed in Chang'an all day long, I would feel uncomfortable all over. Every morning, I would be angry on the new little lambs." Duan Yunsong reached out and touched the beard on the lip with a grim look on his face.
Well, this year's freshmen recruited a large group before entering the school gate. My college was not here. Uncle Li Jing has been in charge of the work of the staff college, and the burden of the college fell on Duan Yunsong's head. The political literacy work of the recruits was naturally led by his supervisor. It seems pitiful to think about it. Xiaolaozi, this is a nickname for new students by the Royal Academy of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, it has a bit derogatory meaning. After all, compared to those old students, these new students are really like little lambs.
"By the way, Your Majesty said, I'm going to find you if I have any difficulties. Hehe, Brother Jun, what do you think you should do?" Xi Junmai raised his eyebrows at me proudly.
