Chapter 2179 Little Marquis ([-]) The shadow of his father

After Gao Mengnan read the intelligence, perhaps realizing that the problem was serious, he unceremoniously suggested, "Young Master, Pu Shi, this is not a place for discussion. Please come with me."

After all, he was the cousin of the Marquis and the head of civil servants in southern Xinjiang. Gao Mengnan easily deprived the two princes and several young generals of their right to attend the meeting with just one sentence.

Gao Yuan was actually a little resistant, because in his opinion, these people had already been won over by him. If they could attend the meeting, they could still cheer for him if his second uncle's views were contrary to his.Now that they were excluded from the meeting, they became alone.

Gao Yuan knew very well that he himself could not fully represent his father in this matter, because his father Gao Jingzhi's status in southern Xinjiang was transcendent. The entire Beijing belonged to him, and all the forces and factions to which Beijing belonged were because of their existence. Only he can exist.

However, although Gao Yuan is the legitimate Marquis of Nanning, his father's eldest son, and his undisputed heir, as long as he has not inherited it, he will not possess his father's detachment.

Gao Mengnan is not only the representative of the civil servants of Southern Xinjiang, he also represents the power of the Gao family clan and some economic departments controlled by the Gao family clan; Gao Jue is the representative of the military generals of Southern Xinjiang, but at the same time he also represents the generals who were born in the Gao family. , and may even represent the managers, directors, shopkeepers, etc. of certain corporate departments to a certain extent.

What about Gao Yuan?What he did in Dingnan these days actually had an underlying logic, that is: the interests of the two factions represented by Gao Mengnan and Gao Jue were things that he could never get involved with at will.If he needs to win over some forces, then his target can only be the Guangxi chieftain faction represented by his maternal uncle's family, and the southern Xinjiang local faction.

why is it like this?Because the first two factions are forces directly under my father and are his direct lineage - my father's direct lineage is not my direct lineage!At least not now, and it can't be!

Yes, his father was indeed very generous to him. He delegated power when asked. The degree of delegation was astonishing. It was basically equivalent to "it was like I was here in person".However, Gao Yuan did not dare to cross the line because he had been living in a world where no one dared to question any of his father's decisions these years.

In Gao Yuan's mind, his father is like a god.He is omnipotent and has no plans left. Any failure has nothing to do with his father.Father is always right and always winning.

For such a person, even if he is his own father, there will inevitably be a sense of alienation, or a sense of distance - who would treat gods as people who are the same as themselves?

Although Gao Pragmatic has always been a kind person, he always smiles at everyone around him and rarely turns a straight face, let alone speaks harshly.However, Gao Yuan has never seen anyone dare to slack off on his father's words since he was a child, not even his mother and aunt. [Note: This is Gao Yuan’s perspective. In fact, Liu Xin would occasionally roll her eyes at Gao Pragmatic when no outsiders were present. ]
In short, his father should not be guessed, let alone offended. This was Gao Yuan's subconscious reaction.

Of course, in addition to subconsciousness, mother's teachings also have a lot to do with it.Although his aunt tried her best to educate him, there were some things that she couldn't explain clearly.For example, on the issue of power, especially how to deal with the relationship between "own power" and "father's power", Liu Xin will definitely not say much.

The ancients said: There is no intimacy between people.After all, the aunt is just an aunt and has no blood relationship. How can she "drift" the relationship between father and son?Any words and teachings she gave could only be based on "the close relationship between your father and son."Then, except for giving some hints at rare times, Liu Xin could not say anything.

However, the biological mother is different.These matters between mother and child can be discussed completely, but Gao Yuan, the mother herself, is a powerful person. She understands the structure and logic of power operation, and also knows how these powers should be distributed between superiors and subordinates. : What belongs to you and what belongs to him.

Gao Yuan understood this, so he also understood that Gao Mengnan's proposal to hold this small meeting was actually the three forces in southern Xinjiang starting to discuss how to deal with this sudden change.More specifically, it is how the three forces in southern Xinjiang responded to the huge changes that took place outside before the real "imperial envoy" Liu Xin arrived.Yes, at this moment, Gao Yuan is not an "imperial envoy", Liu Xin is, and she is the one who truly represents Gao's pragmatic will - because she has no power in southern Xinjiang, unless you think that the three thousand royal guards are worth nothing. A big force to mention.

Liu Xin's real power is very clear in the minds of various factions in southern Xinjiang, and that is the extraordinary trust that the Marquis has in her.Therefore, she is the real "imperial envoy".

The three of them quickly moved to the military headquarters and started a secret conversation in a small conference room.

Although the convener was Gao Mengnan, Gao Mengnan didn't seem to be in a hurry to speak. He just looked at the two people in front of him calmly.

Gao Jue was not in a hurry. He even personally made tea for Gao Yuan and Gao Mengnan because the military headquarters was his office, without any intention of speaking on his own initiative.

Gao Yuan was helpless, and at the same time he roughly guessed what these two people were thinking: The Western Expedition is your young prince's mission, and the two of us are just being ordered to assist, so why rush to express our opinions in a hurry?It's not like the Marquis is here to conquer in person, we have to show our courage and strive for the first place!
"Second uncle, Mr. Pu Shi." Since there was nothing he could do, Gao Yuan had no choice but to speak first: "Both of you are wise men. You must know that this is a God-given opportunity and you must not miss it. There is just one trouble... The secretary-general, on the orders of my father, She is already on her way south, so logically I should wait until she arrives before deciding where to go."

Gao Jue nodded while making tea: "Yes, yes."

This is like saying nothing.Gao Yuan had no choice but to turn his attention to Gao Mengnan.

Gao Mengnan picked up the teacup, expressed his thanks to Gao Jue first, then gently blew the almost non-existent tea foam, and then said slowly and calmly: "I guess the eldest young master must want to say that at this time, if you have to wait, The Secretary-General's arrival will be delayed for about ten days. If we miss the opportunity, it will definitely be detrimental to our army's western expedition...or at least it will greatly increase unnecessary resistance, right?"

Gao Yuan did not expect Gao Mengnan to be so direct. He hesitated for a moment before nodding and said: "Second uncle has a sharp eye. My nephew does think so."

"Oh." Gao Mengnan nodded noncommittally, paused, shook his head and said, "I think there are other things we should discuss before this."

"Other things?" Gao Yuan was a little confused. How could there be other things with higher priority now?
"Of course there are other things." Gao Mengnan smiled faintly and stretched out his hand to calm down, as if to ask Gao Yuan to calm down: "For example: Is this information sure to be true? If true, how was Akbar's battle situation on the Deccan front? Mo. Is it possible for the Mughal army to move east immediately after receiving the news of changes in Bengal? If it can move eastward, will the entire Mughal army be able to come, or will Daniyar have to be sent back again? ?

Also, if our army quickly captures Arakan and takes advantage of the situation to attack Bengal, can Salim immediately declare independence as agreed?If he declares independence, will Akbar choose to put down his son's rebellion first, or will he choose to retake Bengal first, or even continue to attack the Deccan?

Also, suppose that Akbar chooses to put down Salim's rebellion himself, and at the same time let Daniyar return to Bengal.So, can Salim withstand his father's offensive, or for how long?Can our army defeat Daniyar quickly, or do we need to defeat him again and then rescue Salim?

Young Master, your father must have a plan for everything, but I wonder if you also have a plan for the issues I just mentioned? "
