Rebirth of Literary Talent

Chapter 440 Mastering Military Power
"Great Xia's background is indeed very profound! The Battle of the Grassland was so dangerous, I thought the world would be in turmoil for at least a while, but I didn't expect that once the emperor returned to Beijing, nothing would happen. Moreover, the nobles from the north are indeed the top families in Da Xia. , Jiubian began to recover so quickly, and the potential power is unfathomable!" Cheng Caiyu sighed.

The imperial court usually seems to be invisible, but the real background is fully revealed at this time.

"Yeah, it's really unexpected." Wen Cai also sighed.

Wencai is not lamenting the background of the dynasty. He is able to suppress many practitioners with his own power. The power of the dynasty is obvious to anyone with a discerning eye.It's just that compared to the high profile of those cultivation sects, the imperial court is much more low key, and those top family generals are even more low key and introverted one by one, for fear of attracting suspicion from the imperial court and criticism from civil officials.

Wen Cai just lamented Xia Di's behavior. Before that, he always thought that Xia Di just regarded him as a chess piece, or a chess piece that could be thrown at will.But after the conversation with Cao Dahua and Xia Di's actions during this period, Wencai suddenly found that Xia Di was not as miserable as he imagined.

At the very least, treating the literary talent Xia Di is indeed somewhat like treating a nephew.

Wencai didn't know if it was Xia Di's true heart or because of Wencai's rising importance, but he knew that Cao Dahua was really loyal to Xia Di, which made his inclination unconsciously biased. Some.

In the past, he was completely on the sidelines, but now he is slightly inclined to Xia Di, and he has given more consideration to some things he does.

However, he did not expect that even if the emperor returned to the capital with all the nobles from the north, the emperor still handed over all the military power around the capital to Wencai, and ordered Wencai to reorganize the Three Thousand Battalion, the Five Army Battalion and the Shenji Battalion.

This is almost all the military power in Gyeonggi to Wencai, an unprecedented honor.

Before that, even Xia Di, the most trusted Fuguo Duke, did not have this honor.

Although there are more soldiers and horses in the capital, there are also the 22 guards of Shangzhi and the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and the Imperial Palace and the Dragon Guards, etc., but these soldiers and horses add up to only 20 to .Now, the army outside the capital has troops from the southwest and the remnants of the three major battalions who have returned one after another. In addition to the newly recruited recruits, the number is close to .

Such a huge group of soldiers and horses was still in the territory of Gyeonggi, and was handed over to Wencai by Xia Di alone. When the news came out, the entire court was shocked.

Wen Cai originally thought that the impeachment memorial would be the same as before, even more exaggerated and crazy.But the emperor's decree was issued for a long time, but there was no memorial, which made Wencai a little confused.

It wasn't until Cheng Caiyu cleared up his doubts that Wencai realized that not only did the civil servants have no control over soldiers and horses, but they even had a little bit of hope for a good show.

The power of the nine nobles made the emperor a little afraid, let alone these civil servants.Now there are people who are going to divide the military power of the nobles in the north, and they don't even have time to watch the show, so why would they intervene in it.

Moreover, Wencai had made good friends with the prince in the capital before, and in the eyes of many civil servants, Wencai belonged to the side that could be wooed.

Wencai wanted to resign as soon as he got the news, but the imperial decree had already issued and he could not resign.

Then Cao Dahua analyzed it with Wencai again. Now the emperor is a little worried about the nobles from the nine borders. In contrast, Wencai, an outsider, is the one who reassures Xia Di the most. He and the northern nobles can't pee together.

Moreover, Wencai is now the leader of the Southwest Honorables. Xia Di needs a new force to enter the court to balance the court. This is also a rare opportunity.

If it weren't for the heavy damage to the northern nobles, I am afraid that even if the southwest nobles can enter the court, they will be suppressed or even subdued by the northern nobles, and become the vassal wings of the northern nobles...

In today's situation, Wen Cai has no way to retreat and can only move forward.

In the days that followed, while reorganizing the three major camps in Gyeonggi, Wencai followed Cao Dahua to successively visit Wei Guogong, Kai Guogong, and Chengyibo, as well as Fuguogongfu and Chengguogongfu.

After going through this experience, Wencai suddenly felt much less stressed, and some things became more convenient.

Just like in terms of ordnance, when Wencai went to the Ministry of War to ask for it, he repeatedly shirked and gave various excuses, as long as he got half of the share.However, after Wencai just walked around a few top noble mansions, both weapons and food were delivered as quickly as possible, and they were all well-equipped.

It was only then that Wencai knew that the influence of these top nobles was not only in the army, but also in the imperial court...

After Cao Dahua's explanation, Wencai finally understood that these nobles also knew that their tails were too big to lose, and they were very worried.

This time Wencai came out to decentralize power, which happened to be what they wanted, but they couldn't let Wencai decentralize power so easily.If Wencai doesn't come to visit, it means that they are outsiders, and they will forcefully suppress them even if they try to get hurt themselves.

But Wencai came to visit, coupled with the friendship of the older generation, it was an internal conflict, and everything was easy to talk about.

This time, Wencai got convenience and face from them, so this favor is owed, and sooner or later he will have to pay it back!
"A group of people!"

Wen Cai sighed and said, if it weren't for Cao Dahua's explanation, he might not be able to figure out the twists and turns.However, this also shows that the relationship between Xungui, the imperial court, and the royal family is more complicated than he imagined.

It's like he is in the honeymoon period with the royal family now, just like the relationship between these nobles and the emperor back then.But one day he will face the situation faced by the nobles now, and at that time he will not know how to deal with it!

Wen Cai didn't think about it that much, maybe he thought about it and didn't bother to pay attention to it for the time being, what he has to do now is to grasp the present moment.

The governance and reorganization of the 20 army was not so easy. Under Wen Cai's transfer order, a large number of generals from the Southwest Army and some generals from Gyeonggi were transferred to the army, and then three major battalions were reorganized.

Although there are a large number of new recruits in the newly formed three major battalions, there are also a large number of remnants of the Southwest Army and the old three major battalions. After the mixed reorganization, as long as they practice for a period of time, their strength can be restored to about % to % of the past.

As for whether it can go further, it needs to be honed on the battlefield, and it is impossible to train a consistently strong soldier by training alone.

Wen Cai also took this opportunity to replace all the horses of the red armored cavalry with war beasts, but the price was that the red armored cavalry became a battalion of three thousand!
