The Jia family in the capital has a headache because of the sparse number of people sent to the southwest border!
When Prince Zhongshun was troubled by Jia Huan's obvious slackness, the other noble bosses who had received huge benefits were also having a headache.
Just like the troubles the Jia family encountered, they couldn't find many trustworthy people who were willing to take the initiative to go to the southwest territory, which was no better than the Jia family.
After all, the southwest is a notoriously wild place!
The members of the Xungui family are similar to the Jia family. They are all accustomed to the prosperity of the capital and are not even willing to leave the city, let alone go to the southwest to endure hardships.
But all the noble families had to send their men there!
After all, the territory was forcibly snatched from the Nan'an County Prince's Palace, so how could it have any foundation?
If they don't send people over to establish a firm foothold and lay down their family brand, these territories may change hands again at any time.
This is no joke. The situation in the southwest region is quite complicated. It is not possible to carry out remote control management only if you are famous and powerful. It also requires real force to suppress it.
The noble families in the capital had an opportunity that suddenly came to them, and now they were allocated a piece of land that was similar to a territory. How could they be mentally prepared?
Without psychological preparation, there will naturally be no other preparations.
Like Jia Huan, he helped the clan to list one, two or three rules of conduct.
As a result, there was a lot of excitement within the noble family in the capital.
It's a pity that not many people are willing to go to the southwest region to work, so it's useless no matter how lively it is.
On the contrary, Nan'an County Prince's Mansion has been operating in the southwest for hundreds of years. Although its troops have suffered heavy losses, its power is still strong and it is easy to clean up the mess.
Of course, it would be very difficult for the county prince's government to have a certain degree of control over the southwest region as it did in the past. The people in the southwest and foreign officials and people recognized it as a real fist and power.
I don't know what the old concubine of Nan'an, the princess and the two concubines were thinking, but they actually asked the new Nan'an prince, who was not yet fifteen years old, to go to the southwest with enough manpower to take charge.
According to what they preach, they are dedicated to their duties!
In fact, everyone knows what's going on, doesn't it just mean that they don't want to be remembered anymore?
If the new Nan'an County Prince continues to stay in the capital, who knows what accidents will happen?
At this time, order in the southwest region has gradually been restored. With the power and connections of Nan'an County Prince's Palace there, as long as the new Nan'an County Prince arrives, there will be no problem in controlling the remaining territory.
As for when a certain strength can be restored, it depends on whether the new Nan'an County King is really capable, unless the current emperor helps.
Of course, we must have Jia Huan’s support now!
At this time, Jia Huan was the first-class Dingyuan Bo, and also had the rank of commander-in-chief, commanding the entire southwest army.
If he doesn't cooperate, it will be difficult for the new Nan'an County Prince to gain a foothold in the southwest.
Of course, Jia Huan is not a bad person, and he will not do things that hinder people's future.
As long as the new Nan'an County Prince shows enough respect and cooperates in military and political affairs, Jia Huan will naturally not fail to give him face. How are you and me doing?
The news released by the Nan'an County Prince's Palace is more than that.
After the new Nan'an County King has established a foothold in the southwest, his concubine brothers will go to the southwest one by one to help him as they grow older.
This time, neither the current emperor nor the court had any intention of stopping it.
The Nan'an County Prince's Palace is in such a miserable state, and they are still playing tricks like hostages. Isn't it chilling?
At least, there is no need to worry too much until the Nan'an County Prince's Palace regains control of the two provinces and has 30,000 elite troops.
In fact, a group of noble forces have extended their hands to the southwest region, which allows them to restrain and restrain each other, which is easier to control than the direct intervention of the royal family and the court.
This situation is a good thing for the royal family and the court.
But in fact, both the royal family and the court got benefits, which meant they lost face and gained reputation.
When the imperial court's strength further increases, or when the development intensity of the southwest reaches the threshold of the Central Plains, it will not be too late to find a way to completely control it.
There are other things going on right now, and I don’t have much thought about southwest affairs at all.
I never expected that Prince Zhongshun would release a satellite!
It turns out that Ezo Island, not far from Wajima Island, is the size of more than half of the Central Plains province.
The manpower sent today has occupied almost an entire state!
The news coming back shows that most of the land occupied by his men is plain, which is conducive to farming.
If it is developed well, it will not be a problem to feed a million people!
Naturally, I was overjoyed when I heard the news today, but the problems are also not small. How to develop and control them are issues that cannot be ignored.
In addition, this territory must be used to contain the development speed of Prince Zhongshun and other clans on the territory.
In short, compared to the remote areas in the southwest, the newly captured Ezo Island is more valued!
At this time, the present gradually came back to me.
Including the already prosperous Jinmen Port and the Ludi Port, which has developed rapidly in recent years, almost all are controlled by Prince Zhongshun and other clans.
Right now, the income from operating the port city alone is enough to offset their crazy investment in overseas. When I first learned this information, you can imagine the shock in my heart.
Immediately, he became full of anger and displeasure!
Bastards, they are all a bunch of inconvenient bastards!
At this time, if you want to intervene directly, it is impossible to pick peaches.
Even today, until the emperor is completely dead, it is impossible to directly have conflicts with many clan brothers, and can only use normal means within the rules.
But the power of those clans is not bad, and the first-mover advantage is too obvious.
It's not that simple to let your officials control those emerging port towns!
Of course, the emergence of these new port towns has increased the tax revenue of the national treasury. This is an indisputable fact. Today, I am naturally surprised and happy!
He never expected that the princes of the clan would do such a trick to him!
How can you allow others to sleep soundly beside the couch?
Unknowingly, the strength of the royal princes increased rapidly, which made him feel quite uneasy.
I really don’t know, why did it suddenly become like this?
Not only did they not think of it now, but even the princes who were bewitched by Jia Huan did not think of it themselves.
Originally, these port towns were only used as landing points and transfer stations for offshore fleets.
As a result, with the rise of ocean transportation, the port towns they had just taken over were developing rapidly one by one, and the money and population they gathered expanded rapidly.
Such a growth rate of wealth and power surprised the princes and made them feel very happy.
Of course, while making a lot of money, it is natural to have worries in your heart.
Today is not an existence that is easy to fool!
Once they realize that the port town they control is so profitable, they will definitely grab it.
Just thinking about being picked on peaches by today makes my heart hurt so much that I feel like I can't breathe easily.
Before anyone could react, there was already a gap between the clan princes and the current generation.
Of course, outsiders would not easily get involved in internal disputes within the royal family, and few would have the guts to do so.
As for what the situation will be in the end, it won’t be too late to decide the winner later.
"General Jia has worked hard and achieved great results. He has defeated the invading army of Qianxiang Kingdom and even driven it all the way back to the country. Is it time to transfer back and take a good rest?"
At the Umrah meeting that day, Jin Jin suddenly said this.
"What your Majesty said is true. General Jia should be transferred back and rewarded!"
"General Jia has been fighting for more than half a year since he led the army. He must be tired. It's time to come back and take a good rest. We can't overwork our heroes!"
"Not only General Jia, but also his troops have been fighting for a long time!"
"The environment in the southwest is harsh. It's better to bring them back as soon as possible. Even if they are temporarily stationed in Jinling for a period of time, it is better than staying there all the time. They can also rest and recuperate!"
"General Jia's troops are basically from the north. It would be better to transfer them directly back to the capital camp!"
"Indeed, if General Jia's elite troops are strengthened, the combat effectiveness of the Beijing Camp will be even higher!"
"..."
The cabinet bosses are indeed old foxes in officialdom, and they use today's words to speak out.
On the surface, he kept praising Jia Huan and his men, but in fact, he wanted to quickly transfer them back.
He even said something about enhancing the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp.
No, the current emperor, who was just saying it casually, suddenly became interested?
The combat effectiveness of the army is not something that is blown out of proportion, but something that is actually demonstrated.
The Jingying camp was previously known as the world's elite, a powerful existence on the same level as the frontier army, and one of the greatest assets for Emperor Daqian and the court to control the world.
Everything is the best, the camp facilities, logistics supplies, and even the training subjects are all deliberately arranged by many military veterans!
As a result, all the old foundation was lost after actual combat.
If we can't fight, we can't fight. It's useless no matter how anxious the current emperor and cabinet are!
Fortunately, two brothers, Jia Cong and Jia Huan, rose to prominence. One performed outstandingly in the battle against bandits, while the other was as powerful as a god coming down from the earth in regular battles.
The existence of the two brothers barely saved the embarrassment of Beijing Camp's poor performance on the battlefield.
But I don’t want to think about it now. The dignified Jiedushi Envoy of the Beijing Camp is only at the third rank, and Jia Huan is now the general soldier at the second rank!
If he is really transferred back, how should we arrange it?
It is definitely impossible for Jia Huan to take charge of the capital camp. Only those who are smart today would do this.
In the past, including the Supreme Emperor, even at the expense of the deposed prince, the situation of Ning Rong's second house controlling the Beijing camp was finally ended. If Jia Huan is allowed to take over again, will it be possible in the future?
But a general like Jia Huan, who is extremely capable of fighting, is idle for nothing, which is something that the current emperor cannot accept. Isn't that making fun of national affairs?
The same is true. When it was proposed to transfer Jia Huan back, he actually didn't take it too seriously.
But after hearing the words of several cabinet ministers, he felt it was quite reasonable and decided to transfer the people back first. As for possible future troubles and troubles, it will not be too late to sort them out later.
As for the noble generals, before they had time to react, the matter had already been finalized by the current ministers and the cabinet bosses.
