Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy
Chapter 329 Do you want to take over Southern Xinjiang?
Emperor Cangwu was overjoyed. "Great! I appoint you as the commander of the second army. Lead the 30,000 soldiers of the Su family army and the 10,000 soldiers of the Xishan camp. In three days, go to the southern border to support the Dingguo army."
"Father, not allowed."
"Your Majesty, you cannot."
Song Jinxiu and several old ministers said in unison.
Su Mo also said, "Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Xishan Camp cannot be moved. Their duty is to garrison the capital and protect Your Majesty's safety. How can they follow me to fight in Southern Xinjiang? Your Majesty, rest assured. I can allocate 40,000 Su family troops to Southern Xinjiang."
"Don't be too aggressive," the emperor frowned. "There must be no unrest in the northwest border, otherwise we will be attacked from both sides."
"Your Majesty, rest assured. Our greatest gain from this attack on the Nuhan Kingdom is the ten thousand war horses we have gained. The Su family army has also gained ten thousand cavalry. I have ordered the cavalry battalion to patrol day and night and report any signs of trouble immediately."
After much persuasion, the emperor finally ordered the Xishan camp to dispatch 5,000 soldiers.
Because the Su family army had to gather and prepare for war, the celebration banquet was not held. However, in order to encourage the morale of the army, the emperor collectively promoted the generals of the Su family army by one level, and those who performed outstandingly in the battle of the Nuhan Kingdom were promoted by two levels.
After the morning court session, the Minister of Revenue caught up with Su Mo and said, "Duke Zhenguo, the treasury is running low on grain, and some has been allocated to coastal areas for disaster relief. Before the wheat harvest, the soldiers will probably have to tighten their belts to fight. Therefore, it is best to make a quick decision in this battle in southern Xinjiang."
Su Mo frowned. "I think General Wei also hopes for a quick victory, but the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and we can only act flexibly. I hope you can think of a way to provide the soldiers with food."
What does it mean that the soldiers have to tighten their belts to fight? Song Jinxiu said with dissatisfaction on her face: "Sir, how can you withhold military pay?"
The Minister of Revenue was on the verge of tears. "Your Highness, how dare I withhold the wages of the soldiers who defend our country? The treasury is empty, and even the best cook cannot cook without rice!"
"If there's no food, then take it from the officials and wealthy businessmen. The army can't be without food. The soldiers are fighting on the front lines, fighting for their country, but they have to go hungry. How dare you say that?"
"So I said we need to make a quick decision?"
Song Jinxiu had a premonition that a quick victory was impossible. No matter which country or dynasty, as long as the common people were involved, it would be difficult to achieve a quick victory.
Because of this worry, the prophetic scene of war and disaster everywhere and the people of Cangwu suffering kept appearing in her mind.
I wonder if the people of Southern Xinjiang are also suffering right now? Could the life and death of a saintly woman make them so disregard their livelihoods and so enraged that they started a war?
In war, the common people are always the ones who suffer.
Perhaps the difficult life and the instigation of the King of Southern Xinjiang are the reasons for their rebellion?
Song Jinxiu hates war, but sometimes war is fought for permanent peace.
The King of Southern Xinjiang was a warmonger. Throughout Cangwu's history, the border of Southern Xinjiang had hardly ever been peaceful.
If we want peace and prosperity for all, and for both the people of Cangwu and Southern Xinjiang to live and work in peace and contentment, then we must capture the King of Southern Xinjiang.
Only by implementing great unification can we promote the development of people's livelihood.
Song Jinxiu clenched her fists. She wanted to take this opportunity to take over southern Xinjiang.
The purpose of unifying southern Xinjiang is not to enslave the people of southern Xinjiang, so we cannot allow the people of southern Xinjiang to harbor hatred, because from now on they will all be the people of Cangwu!
Therefore, the war in southern Xinjiang not only depends on military operations, but also needs to win the hearts and minds of the people, and future social stability is the top priority.
Thinking of this, she said to Su Mo: "You leave the palace first. I have something important to discuss with His Majesty."
Seeing Song Jinxiu leave without any regrets, Su Mo couldn't help but feel depressed.
"I'm leaving soon," he called after her.
"Okay, you go first and be careful on your way." Song Jinxiu waved her hand without looking back.
Su Mo: ...My heart is broken...
He had to return to the border without stopping after leaving the palace. He had to personally arrange and give instructions on assembling the troops and arranging border guards before he could feel at ease.
I only had time to talk to the little girl along the way, but I didn't expect that she didn't feel sad about the separation at all. Instead, I felt like the resentful woman who sent her lover to the battlefield.
Forget it, this girl is still young and hasn't figured it out yet. Besides, she is your Majesty's right-hand man and the head of all officials. It's normal for her to have no time for love affairs.
Su Mo suppressed the reluctance, nostalgia and helplessness surging in his heart, strode out of the palace gate and rode away on his horse.
On the roadside, Zhang Jingyao was carrying a food box. When she saw Su Mo coming out of the palace, she hurried to meet him.
However, the horse galloped past, and she opened her mouth to call out "Brother Su" but failed to get it out, and her mouth was filled with dirt.
Cui Zixuan booked the entire East Street Restaurant to treat the heroes to dinner.
Dozens of chefs and kitchen helpers were busy in the restaurant. The prepared meals were placed in a row of large vats and covered with wooden lids to keep them warm. The vats were all steaming, waiting for the soldiers to arrive so that they could be packaged out one by one.
Song Jinxiu hurried into the imperial study. Liu Renxiu glanced at her and asked, "Why did you come back instead of talking to the Duke of Zhenguo?"
Song Jinxiu: It seems like there is a smell of vinegar?
She knelt down and kowtowed with a serious expression, saying, "Father, although the Saint of Southern Border is dead, there are many people in Southern Border who raise Gu, and we must be on guard. Moreover, the Saint of Southern Border died because of me, so I request that I, as Princess Kangle, supervise the army and go to Southern Border with you."
Emperor Liu Renxiu's heart tightened. Of course he knew that Su Mo stayed overnight at Princess Kangle's mansion. He heard that the girl's mother treated Mo'er very kindly. Perhaps the mother-in-law felt both distressed and satisfied with her son-in-law?
He thought that the two people had feelings for each other, and it was inevitable that he felt a little sad.
But he knew that he should let go. The child called him "Daddy" every day, so he knew that they could only be father and daughter, king and subject, and he didn't want to think about anything else.
But this girl actually wants to go to the battlefield in Southern Xinjiang. Is it because of this kid Su Mo?
"You're actually going to Southern Xinjiang for him?"
Song Jinxiu was startled when she saw the emperor's eyes showing a hint of hurt. She quickly stepped forward and held the table in front of the emperor.
He whispered, "Father, although I am attracted to the Duke of Zhenguo, national affairs are not a joke. The reason I asked to supervise the army is for your sake."
Having said that, she dipped her finger in the tea on the table and wrote eight words on the desk: Calm the military and comfort the people.
Liu Renxiu immediately straightened his face.
He understood how to calm the morale of the army. This child was the savior of General Wei Qiliang and the sweetheart of Duke Zhenguo Su Mo. Only if this child went there could the emotions of the two armies be balanced and the time for them to get used to each other be reduced.
But he was still unhappy, frowning and saying, "Could it be that in this battle for Cangwu's survival, they could still have second thoughts?"
Song Jinxiu shook her head: "Of course I don't have any second thoughts, but every army has its own combat habits. Sometimes they may all have good intentions, but they just have different opinions and habits."
Liu Renxiu pointed at the words "appease the people" and asked, "What does this mean? Whose people are you appeasing? Could it be the people in southern Xinjiang? You are the princess of Cangwu."
Seeing that Emperor Cangwu was actually being unreasonable, Song Jinxiu couldn't help but sigh.
She never thought that her charm was so great that even the diligent and people-loving emperor would lose his composure.
She nodded seriously and said, "Father, these are not the people of Southern Xinjiang. They will all be the people of Cangwu. I cannot let the people of Cangwu hate us. I am the Princess of Cangwu, so it is most appropriate for me to go to Southern Xinjiang."
Liu Renxiu was shocked: "You want to take over Southern Xinjiang?"
