After the prince enters the play

Chapter 131: Chapter 131: King Rong

The warm wind in summer is gentle, but the news is not very good. This year, the grassland outside the Great Wall is severely drought, the pasture is dry, and the number of cattle and sheep has no grass to eat, and the number has dropped sharply.

The herdsmen on the prairie had no food to feed themselves, so they had no choice but to grab it.

Rob who?

Of course it is Nan Qi, who is rich in treasures.

This kind of war happens every year, but there is no year as fast and fierce as this year. In previous years, there will be a polite test to make both sides prepare for the war. This year may be really hungry. His eyes were red and he attacked the guard all night.

In a short period of time, three guards were destroyed, and Nan Qi suffered heavy losses. The head of a hundred households and the head of a thousand households were killed one after another, and even the commanders of the guards also lost two soldiers.

The court was shocked by the news, and the crown prince came out to ask for a fight.

King Rong refused to lag behind, gritted his teeth and stood up to challenge.

King Xiang thought for a while, the two elder brothers have stood up, it is embarrassing whether he stands up or not, standing up is just going along with the general trend, if he doesn't stand up, he is a coward, he has no responsibility, and he is one step too late. Tears flowed from both eyes, which was extremely miserable.

The emperor raises troops, the prince asks for a fight, the whole court is full of fighting spirit, mobilizes soldiers and horses, and vows to beat out the neighbors who came to rob.

The main points of debate in the court are whether it is feasible for the prince to lead the army, whether the king will make trouble with the army, who to appoint as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, civil and military discord, different arguments, and quarreling.

In the Southern Qi Dynasty, the power to command troops and the power to deploy troops were separated. When the country was first established, the Metropolitan Governor’s Mansion almost controlled both powers. Although there were prime ministers to check and balance, it was of little significance. This meant that the emperor could not directly control military power.

In order to control the military power, Taizu advanced and integrated the Ministry of War, so the Minister of the Ministry of War obtained the right to deploy troops, and the governor's office of the five armies had to obey the orders of the Ministry of War.

Although the Ministry of War issued a uniform order to dispatch troops, it had no power to command the troops. It could be said that the Ministry of War did not have a single soldier in its hands. condemn.

In this way, the Ministry of War issues military orders, and the five armies are under the command of the Governor's Mansion. Both of them obey the emperor's orders at the same time, and His Majesty will be able to control the army of the Southern Qi Dynasty.

There is also a set of procedures for the imperial court to dispatch troops. The commander-in-chief of the three armies must be held by Gonghou Bo. Even though Su Chun lacked qualifications, he was still able to lead the troops. The most important reason was also because of his background, from the Duke of Qi.

All the princes and uncles who were rewarded in the Southern Qi Dynasty were generals who followed the Taizu to fight the world, and all of them were good at fighting. Therefore, the court sent troops to the commander-in-chief of the three armies and gave priority to Gonghou Bo.

Of course, with the continuation of the generations, the descendants of the descendants are more unsatisfied, and few are up-to-date, and the few who are up-to-date are not many who can be the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Therefore, every time the commander-in-chief of the armed forces is appointed, there is always a quarrel in the court.

In addition to the commander-in-chief of the three armies, the source of troops for the expedition is not the only one. The first is the troops from the Beijing camp, the second is the troops from the guards in various places, and the last is the local recruitment.

The mixed source of soldiers can effectively prevent generals from all over the world from supporting themselves.

Who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies? Su Xinyi has no interest. Now that it is unknown whether she can go to the army, caring about the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies is tantamount to reaching out for the stars, out of reach.

But there was one thing related to their family, that is, the Royal Forest Army where Su Yi was in also dispatched a group of people to the border town.

This is something that has never happened before. The duty of the Imperial Forest Army is to protect His Majesty, the Imperial Palace, and the Imperial City. Now let them go to the border town to charge and kill. His Majesty's mind is really unpredictable.

Except for the Royal Forest Army, which was stuffed in like a convulsion, the other Five Army Battalions, Three Thousand Battalions, and Shenji Battalion each mobilized some soldiers and horses to form a 20 army ready to go.

His Majesty the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies finally appointed Zheng Guogong Zhu Pengzu, and Zhu Pengzu hung his seal to go out, and all the ministries in the capital were quickly put into operation.

At this time, Su Xinyi went to see her grandfather, she wanted to join the army.

The old man looked at Su Xinyi intently, not surprised at all, and he said after a while, "You have to know, even if you go out with the army, as a woman, even if you arrive in the border town, you will only stay in the city and serve as an internal affairs soldier. rise."

If Su Xinyi was a man, things would be very easy. Most of the men in the Su family joined the army, that is to say, this generation seems to have deviated from the style of painting, and the children in the family actually like to read a lot.

If Su Xinyi was a male, with the shadow of her ancestors, she would have to be a member of a hundred households at the very least, but she was a girl, and if she wanted to win the crowd and fight her way out of a crowd of men, then she had to rely on her true nature. ability.

Leading soldiers to fight is not about neighbors fighting, you scold me, I kick you and it's over, this is the head hanging on the waistband of the trousers, and the boss of the leader is a woman, can the soldier under his command subdue you?

Su Xinyi knew, she knew it was hard work and dangerous, but she still wanted to give it a try, she didn't want to repeat the path of her previous life, she wanted to walk the path her father walked.

Even if this road is a thousand times more difficult for her than her father, she is willing.

"Grandfather, you asked me to drink tea, embroider, recite poems and paint at home, to be a lady of the family, and my granddaughter can do it. However, I don't want people to just shake their heads when they mention Su Siye's descendants. What about women? When Taizu raised troops, There is also a women's barracks under the account, and my granddaughter is willing to join the army under the name of a householder."

There are three types of household registration in the Southern Qi Dynasty, civilian households, military households, and artisan households, which are managed by the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry respectively.

Minhu means ordinary people farming and paying taxes.

A military household is a family that has served in the military for generations and cannot be changed at will.Each military household needs to go to the designated guard to serve in accordance with the imperial court's laws.

Artisan households are craftsmen with various skills. Artisan households are the same as military households and cannot change their household registration at will.

Among them, military households have the greatest demand. Since the founding of the Southern Qi Dynasty, there have been constant frictions with various ethnic groups outside the Great Wall, and they have to raise troops every year. It just depends on the size of the conflict to decide how many troops to send.

There are various sources of military households in the Southern Qi Dynasty. The first type is those who followed the Taizu in the army. They were military members for generations, so the Su family is also a military member.

The second type is surrender, which is the army that was defeated or followed by the uprising during the Taizu expedition, and the third type is people who committed crimes and exiled the army, such as Li Ji.

Another kind is that when the war is tight and the supply of troops is insufficient, the military registration still cannot meet the needs of the war. Civilian registration may also join the army. Three civilian households form a stack, one of which is a regular household, and the other two are subsidized households. People serve in the military, and post accounts as supplements and preparations.

It's true that the Su family is from the military, but female soldiers are rare in the military now, and she is a bare-bones person if she goes by herself, so how to place her in the military is a headache.

Now that Su Yi has been transferred to the border town, he can take this opportunity to let Su Xinyi be Su Yi's follower. There will be no objection without long-sightedness.

But after becoming a post account, how Su Xinyi stands on her feet is her own business.

The old man can only help so much, any more will touch His Majesty's taboo.

Su Xinyi was able to open his mouth to say the post, which showed that he had thought it through carefully, so the old man nodded, "Since you have made up your mind, then go."

The eagle always wants to fight in the sky. The descendants of the Su family, regardless of gender, can fly high as long as they have the ambition.

Su Xinyi was overjoyed, "Thank you grandfather, my granddaughter will definitely not embarrass the Su family."

The old man smiled, looked at Su Xinyi and said word by word: "You choose the road, no matter how hard it is, you have to persevere. You must know that once you join the army, it is not easy to withdraw. Moreover, on the battlefield Swords and guns have no eyes, and grandfather hopes to see you return in triumph."

Don't send gray-haired people to black-haired people like your father.

"Yes." Su Xinyi's eyes were slightly red, and he knelt down on his knees and kowtowed, making a solemn promise to his grandfather.

After Su Xinyi left, the old man let out a long sigh.

Chen Hai watched from the side and said softly: "Grandpa, let the son take the post to join the army. You have to say hello to Commander Guo for this matter, or the old slave will go for a walk?"

Commander Guo Meng was the one who led the Imperial Forest Army to the border town this time, and Su Yi was under his tent to listen to orders.

"Not in a hurry." The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, "wait a while."

Chen Hai didn't know why, but soon he knew, because Tian Zao and Bao Datong also wanted to take this opportunity to go to the border town to join the army. It's easy to change from civilian to military, but it still takes a lot of effort to assign them where to go.

The old man waited for the news he wanted, and asked Chen Hai to go there in person. Tian Zao and Bao Datong didn't want to be followers, they wanted to fight the enemy, but they were still young, and there was no shortage of soldiers in the border town. The older child rushed to kill, but the two teenagers objected to no avail and could only follow as a follower.

Guo Meng saw that Chen Hai was bald, so he asked Su Yi to ask, but Su Yi didn't know anything, and he was dumbfounded.

Guo Meng was even more worried when he saw it, why did this big brother look so heartless.

Guo Meng kicked Su Yi out who knew nothing, and walked around the room a few times with his hands behind his back, hesitating again and again, or report the matter.

It's a small thing to do as a post account, but this post account has a long history, and it is the only daughter of Su Siye. You said that you are not at home to embroider well, but you are causing trouble to others.

Guo Meng couldn't report back by leapfrogging, so he could only ask Zheng Guogong, the commander-in-chief, to explain the matter exactly.

Zhu Pengzu: ...

Guo Meng didn't dare to raise his head, if the coach kicked him out like he kicked Su Yi out in a fit of anger, how embarrassing would he be?
Of course Zhu Pengzu knew about Su Xinyi, I'm afraid that there would be no one in the whole capital who didn't know about the recovered sixth girl of the Su family.

Others don't know, but Zhu Pengzu is the Duke of the state after all, and he is well-informed, and the sixth girl in the Yanyin case also helped.

Why was Su Yi able to be banned from hundreds of households in one jump?
Because there is also a credit for Miss Su Liu here, but Su Xinyi only pushes her elder brother out without showing her name, and it is impossible for the court to reward her, so the credit falls to Su Yi. The meritorious service is not small, but the position in the army is a radish and a pit. It is not bad that he can raise the general flag.

Zhu Pengzu also had a headache, watching Guo Meng, who was pretending to be a quail, gasping for breath, he drove him away angrily.

When Guo Meng saw the coach, although he didn't agree, he didn't object, so he probably has a way.

He let out a long sigh of relief, and threw out the hot potato, he just waited for the news.

Zhu Pengzu has pulled out more than a dozen beards. This kind of thing can't be vague. Su Chun is in front of His Majesty. Although His Majesty didn't summon his daughter when he was found, I heard that the Empress rewarded Miss Su Six. With such a generous gift, Concubine Li Gui also summoned her to enter the palace, so it is hard not to guess whether it is His Majesty's intention.

As soon as Zhu Pengzu gritted his teeth, he decided to throw this hot potato out. Of course, His Majesty was the one who could finally make up his mind.

After all, she is Su Chun's daughter.

Zhu Pengzu went to the palace to see His Majesty. Su Xinyi of the Duke of Qi's Mansion didn't know that it would be such a troublesome thing because of her joining the army. She thought that as long as the family said hello, she would join the army under the name of a householder. After joining the army, wouldn't she have a chance to play? ?
But she really underestimated her father's name, and she is the only child, so of course others should be cautious.

Are you worried about her safety?
No.

It's just that if the news of Su Xinyi's death in battle comes, His Majesty knows that Su Chun's only daughter has also followed her father's footsteps and devoted herself to the country. What if I trouble the person who sent her to the army?
Zhu Pengzu came out of the palace in the dark, with a thin layer of sweat on his back, he couldn't figure out what His Majesty meant by this, agree or disagree?
When he mentioned Su Xinyi, His Majesty's unsurprised expression made him faintly feel that although His Majesty didn't summon Su Xinyi, after the Yanyin case, he probably paid some attention to her.

If His Majesty didn't get angry and objected, then he acquiesced.

Zhu Pengzu gritted his teeth. Anyway, he followed Su Yi as a post accountant, and his immediate superior was Guo Meng. After he reported to His Majesty, other things were out of his control. The last thing to look at was Su Xinyi's ability.

When King Rong knew about the news that Su Xinyi was serving as a post accountant with the army, he almost jumped up. Can he still do this?

What did Su Xinyi think?

She wants to go to the battlefield and wrestle with a group of tough guys from outside the Great Wall?
This is not about beating those dudes in the capital. All the tribes outside the Great Wall grew up on horseback. They are strong and muscular. When a person stands in front of them, they can hold two of Su Xinyi.

Isn't this rushing to give someone a head?
Be a post account?
To put it nicely, with Su Xinyi's temperament, sooner or later she will become a real householder!
King Rong asked to go to the army, and his father ignored him, but why should Su Xinyi be able to go as a woman if she is a post accountant?
Although it is said that there were female soldiers in the army, but that was when the Taizu raised the army, since the world was stabilized, which military camp still has women?

However, it is true that the female barracks have not been completely abolished in the army, it is just that they have not been recruited.

This is just sidestepping. Everyone knows that although the women's barracks established by Taizu have not been abolished, they do not need to be recruited.

Now that something happened with Su Xinyi, King Rong has a toothache. Do you think this person can't live in peace?

Compared with the soaring anger of King Rong, His Royal Highness the Prince was much calmer.

This time, he will be in charge of food and grass with the army. Although he is serving as a reserve army, this is also a good opportunity to practice. Naturally, the prince will not think that it is overqualified for him to take care of food and grass.

The three armies went ahead without using food and grass, and there were 20 troops sent from the capital alone. Food is not a small problem.In addition to food and grass, there are weapons, war horses and various military supplies that must be adjusted and replenished at any time.

After receiving the order, the East Palace has already been in operation. In addition to the food, grass and military supplies taken from the capital, it has to be allocated from various guards, which is equivalent to giving him the opportunity to deal with the commanders in various places.

He couldn't guess what his father thought, but he knew that this opportunity was rare.

Yan Junchu's eyes fell on Su Xinyi's name. Su Yi, a hundred households of the Imperial Forest Army, was attached to the household. Besides Su Xinyi, there was another named Tian Zao. He slowly looked away.

His father acquiesced that Su Xinyi would join the army as a householder, which made Yan Junchu think deeply.

Why did the father acquiesce?
Yan Junchu couldn't figure it out, nor could he understand his father's thoughts.

Making this decision is really not like his father's temperament.

For better or worse, remains to be seen.

Yan Junchu lightly drew a circle on Su Xinyi's name with his fingertips, and then slowly put away the roster.

Su Xinyi's going to be a post account was spread in the Duke of Qi's mansion. The three sisters Su Jingmo and Mrs. Zeng all came to see her. I didn't know whether to persuade her or support her. It was very distressing for the four of them to sit in a row .

Su Xinyi has already packed her bags, she will not set off with her elder brother, because Su Yi is traveling with the army, it will be troublesome to take her with her, she has already got the badge to go to the guard, and will go ahead and wait for her elder brother.

Su Xinyi looked at Su Chaoyan and said with a smile: "I know what you are going to say first, but this is my decision. I hope my sisters-in-law and sisters can support me. You wait for me, I will definitely come back."

Su Chaoyan was soft-tempered, her eyes turned red, and she nodded heavily.

Su Jingmo pursed his lips before saying, "Xiao Liu, we are all waiting for you to come back."

Su Xixian was very sad. She never thought that there would be sisters in the family who would join the army. This was beyond the limit of her life in the inner house. Seeing her sister who had not been recognized for a long time, flapping her wings and about to fly away again, she was angry, laughing and helpless, I can only tell her, "Come back alive."

Zeng looked at Xin Yi and said softly, "Your elder brother said he would take good care of you. Don't worry about family matters. We will wait for you to come back."

Su Xinyi smiled and nodded, "Okay."

On the first day before Su Xinyi's departure, the fourth wife came to sleep with her. She tossed and turned all night and did not sleep well. She sat up in the middle of the night and looked at her daughter's sleeping face in a daze.

She used to send her husband away in the same way, and now she is sending her daughter away.

She knew that Xin Yi had always been filial, if she asked her not to go, maybe the child would agree in the end, but she would definitely not be happy.

So what's the point of her keeping her?

So many worries and anxieties were firmly pressed in her heart. She knew that her husband had such a temperament that even though the road ahead was difficult, he would still go forward.

Xin Yi is his child, and his blood flows in his bones and veins. The father and daughter made the same choice, but she could only silently support it.

Su Xinyi got up before dawn the next day, and the fourth lady got up after him, and took her to bid farewell to the old man and Mrs. Tai.Neither Nanny She nor Lian Qiao would follow them. After breakfast, Su Xinyi took Tian Zao, Bao Datong, and Zhan Qiao and Cao Qing to set off together.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the gate of the mansion, they saw Mrs. Zeng with several sister-in-laws, and the third wife was even there, seeing her off.

Su Xinyi's eyes turned red, and he bowed deeply to the crowd before leaving without looking back.

After leaving the gate of the capital, the group of them headed northward, riding horses all the way, and encountered a group of officials who were escorted by officials who had been dispatched and military households who had been recruited.

Now that the war is imminent, and the prisoners in the prison have also embarked on the journey of distribution ahead of schedule, Su Xinyi is a bit regretful that he did not see Li Ji.

At noon they found a shade under a tree to eat and rest. In the package, they brought convenient noodle bread and some pickled meat. The hot food in summer cannot be stored for a long time, so they only brought enough for one day, and tomorrow’s food can only be eaten on the road. Refill.

Opening the cowhide kettle and filling his saliva, Su Xinyi took small bites of the noodles, and took out the map he carried with him to check the route.

Zhanqiao and Cao Qing are originally from the military, but they belong to the private guards of the Duke of Qi, so they don't need to be dispatched by the guards.

Tian Zao and Bao Datong were a little apprehensive. Although they clamored to join the army, they had never been in contact with the guards, and they felt a little uneasy in anticipation.

After eating and resting for a while, they set out on the road immediately. It is best to find a place to stay before dark. Sleeping in the wild is not a good idea.

Along the way to the north, the scenery seen along the way gradually changes, from densely populated places to gradually desolate, and sometimes it is rare to see a person even after a day of running.

The further north you go, the more stringent the inspection officers and soldiers will be at the checkpoints on the road, checking and checking dental signs, road guides, and official documents.

Su Xinyi was dressed in men's clothing for convenience on the road, and he was watched carefully every time he was interrogated. After all, he hadn't seen a woman for decades as a follower, so it was strange.

The patrol inspector was muttering, looking at Su Xinyi with strange eyes.

Su Xinyi responded with a smile. He had seen such eyes many times along the way, but he became more and more numb later on, and he didn't even want to waste his saliva on talking.

Waiting like this until Bianzhen didn't know how many strange looks he would face, Su Xinyi knew he had to get used to it.

After passing through Suian, the number of guards gradually increased and became more and more desolate, getting closer and closer to the Yulin Guard they arrived at.

The summer in the capital is hot, but it is already a little chilly sooner or later when they come here, the sky is getting darker and earlier, and there is still a long way to the post station, they have to find a place to camp.

Su Xinyi and the others set up a simple tent and lit a bonfire. The food can be eaten cold, but the water must be hot.

The water on the shelf had just started to bubble, when suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, Su Xinyi and the others looked up, facing the last twilight of the sunset, several horses appeared in their sight.

Su Xinyi looked far away, probably seeing the flames here, and the people in the distance were running towards them.

Cao Qing and Zhan Qiao got up immediately, protecting Su Xinyi behind their backs, and put their right hands on the handle of the knife.

The border line is long, and it is impossible for the border guards to patrol all the time. Occasionally, cavalry from the grassland will come to visit.

When the person approached, Su Xinyi saw how familiar the person in the lead was. She half-closed her eyes, and when the person came closer and could faintly see some of his face, she couldn't help being shocked.

Is there something wrong with her eyes?
Why did you see King Rong here?

Su Xinyi signaled Cao Qing and others to back off, she stepped forward and looked at the embarrassed King Rong and was speechless.

What is this for, like a bereaved dog.

　The transitional chapter is a bit stuck, today's update is late, everyone has been waiting for a long time, okay.
