Everyone read the information prepared by Song Jinxiu one by one, and finally handed it over to the emperor.
Song Jinxiu wrote in great detail, even providing detailed explanations on the selection of tree species and the environment suitable for planting.
To be honest, they understood the literal meaning of these data, but not all of them. They did not have the knowledge in this area, so they did not even have the right to comment on Song Jinxiu's plan.
Naturally, it was unanimously approved.
Emperor Cangwu was in a good mood. His happiness could always relieve his worries. His head was filled with all kinds of things. He was simply an all-rounder.
Moreover, she likes to plan ahead, unlike those old ministers who would anxiously look for remedies only when something goes wrong.
As for whether the effect of the coastal defense forest is as good as Princess Kangle said, we can only wait and see. However, Emperor Cangwu inexplicably believed that she would be able to do it.
Su Mo finally saw the other side of Song Jinxiu in the court.
She is calm, decisive, wise, insightful, and never drags her feet in doing or speaking. She has a strong purpose in what she wants to do, and everyone is always led by her unconsciously. Her plan was impressive.
Su Mo sighed in his heart: Is this still the clever little girl who could buy a horse and ride a carriage as her life goal?
This is the real her, right? Su Mo suddenly felt a sense of admiration.
At this time, a battle report came from southern Xinjiang. Wei Qiliang said in the report: The war in southern Xinjiang is in a seesaw state, the battle line is lengthening, and the Dingguo Army is somewhat unable to cope with it. He hopes that the court will send more troops.
Because the Saint of Southern Xinjiang committed suicide in prison after removing her natal Gu.
The death of the Saint of Southern Xinjiang, under the guidance of the Southern Xinjiang royal family, served as an accelerator of the war between the two countries, causing the people of Southern Xinjiang to be outraged and want to avenge their Saint.
Spontaneous civilian organizations joined the army one after another, and for a time, the morale of the southern Xinjiang army soared.
After Xie Gong, Marquis of Xiliang, escaped, he led his troops in rebellion and defected to southern Xinjiang, which added strength to it.
Fortunately, the Dingguo Army was well-armed, and the crossbows and arrows played a huge role, so the enemy had not suffered any serious losses for the time being.
Both sides have won and lost, but time is running out and I'm afraid the situation is not good.
Pingyang Hou was frustrated. When he heard the battle report, his old face turned and he couldn't help but muttered in a low voice:
"Hey! If Princess Kangle hadn't killed the Saint of Southern Xinjiang's life Gu, the Saint of Southern Xinjiang wouldn't have committed suicide. Now it's good, it has aroused public indignation."
Song Jinxiu looked at him suddenly. She stared into his eyes, which made Pingyang Hou feel uneasy. "What are you looking at? Is what 놖 said wrong?"
Song Jinxiu frowned, "I feel strange, are you in cahoots with Prince Yin? Under the circumstances at that time, if we didn't capture the Saintess of Southern Xinjiang, would our Majesty give up the throne to Prince Yin? Would you go and fawn on Prince Yin and become the emperor?"
"Nonsense, your loyalty to Your Majesty is evident to all." Pingyang Hou retorted hastily. This girl is too vicious. Does she want him to lose his head?
When the Five Princes rebelled, he did not betray the promise of inheriting the title. Your Majesty was very kind to him. If not for Your Majesty, it would be questionable whether he could inherit the title. So how could he be in cahoots with that imposter Prince Yin?
Everyone: Oh, if the Saint of Southern Xinjiang had the natal Gu, they didn’t know how many people would have been killed or injured. They were able to capture King Yin without bloodshed, all thanks to Princess Kangle.
The Marquis of Pingyang is smart for a while and confused for a while. Do you think it's fun to always compete with other people's children?
Song Jinxiu still looked at Pingyang Hou, thinking of the guy's appearance in the prophecy. She wondered if he was forced to endure hardships and prepare to avenge His Majesty? Or was he willing at first, but later turned against the king and killed him?
Song Jinxiu narrowed her eyes: Should I rather kill the wrong person than let him go?
There was a flash of murderous intent in Song Jinxiu's eyes, and Marquis Pingyang felt his scalp tingling. How could the aura of this girl be as scary as that of His Majesty?
He was about to retort, but when he looked up and saw Su Mo staring at him fiercely, he couldn't help but choke again.
These two young men are so hot-tempered. Well, he must not provoke them.
Yu immediately said with a frown, "Your Highness, I was worried about the war in southern Xinjiang, and I didn't say anything wrong. I know that if I hadn't had you, things would have been even worse."
Song Jinxiu quickly turned her face away. His fawning look made her want to beat him up even more, didn't she?
The Minister of War Zhou Kunran glanced at his brother-in-law, Marquis Pingyang. This brother-in-law has a small heart and a narrow mind, and the son he raised is also a bad boy.
Thinking of his incompetent nephew Chen Shigui, who was publicly expelled from the army by the Zhenguo, he was angry.
He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, except for the pacification of the northwest border, the troops in other places around Cangwu are insufficient. If we want to increase the troops, we have to recruit soldiers. But if we recruit soldiers at this time, I am afraid it will affect the summer harvest."
At this point, Zhou Kunran looked at Su Mo and said, "Why not send a part of the Su Family Army to support us? However, the climate in the north and south is very different. I don't know if the Su Family Army can adapt to the hot and humid weather in the south. The Duke of Zhenguo will not use this as an excuse to feel sorry for you and refuse to give up, right?"
To defend the country and attack southern Xinjiang, it is imperative, and a part of the Su family army must be withdrawn.
If this part of the Su family army went to southern Xinjiang, it would definitely be incorporated into the Dingguo Army, and all actions would be under the command of General Dingguo.
If you join the Dingguo Army, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to come back. Su Mo was reluctant to let them go, and he would definitely make demands on the grounds that the climate in the north and south was different and the soldiers were not used to it.
He insisted on speaking it out first to shut him up.
He said this and roasted Su Mo over the fire.
This is to vent his anger for his nephew, and he used an open strategy. Zhou Kunran is much smarter than Pingyang Hou.
If Su Mo said that the Su family army was not adapted to the hot and humid climate in the south, 늀놆 would be unwilling to give up this part of the military power.
But can Su Mo say this?
If I tell you, what will the emperor think?
how? Could it be that this Su family army belongs to you, Su Mo? I can't use it? Then Su Mo is equivalent to having his own army and being independent, so how can he survive?
But he had to agree to separate a part of the Su family army. These were veterans who had experienced the battlefield and were brothers who had accompanied him through life and death in battle after battle.
It's okay to send them out to defend the country, or to fight for merits for others. The only thing is that they might be excluded by the Dingguo Army and cause unnecessary casualties.
After all, the cooperation between the two armies requires time for the soldiers to get used to each other. The men who have come down from the battlefield are all brave men, especially his Su family army, which has many troublemakers. What if there is a dispute with the soldiers of the Dingguo Army...
In short, he has to lead his soldiers.
Su Mo made up his mind, lowered his eyebrows slightly, suppressed the fierceness in his eyes, and stepped out and said: "The Su family army will obey your majesty's arrangements. As for the climate in southern Xinjiang, the Dingguo army can bear it, so can the Su family army. Fighting for the country is not afraid of hardships. I will lead the troops to southern Xinjiang and, together with the Dingguo army, take over southern Xinjiang and unify Cangwu."
The emperor was naturally pleased to hear this. "Well, the Duke of Zhenguo cares about his country and the world. Well done. I am very pleased. But as for the northwest border, have you arranged for the generals to guard it?"
Su Mo clasped his fists and said, "I have made all the arrangements."
Minister of War Zhou Kunran frowned and said, "May I ask, Duke Zhenguo, you want to lead the troops yourself, but do you want to act alone?"
Su Mo glanced at him and said, "You are not familiar with southern Xinjiang, so you will naturally obey General Wei's orders."
Seeing his brother-in-law standing up for him, Pingyang Hou couldn't help but move closer and ask, "Duke Zhenguo is willing to be the deputy general?"
Su Mo stood up and said, "To protect my country, I am willing to be the vanguard."
What's the point of being a deputy general? It's okay to be a vanguard officer. Don't you want to seize my soldiers?
snort! Don't even think about it.
If he can't even protect his own subordinates, how can he lead the troops as a general?
