Sun Bing and Xu Yan hoped that after Gao Hang left the ocean, it would be best for him to never come back. For Gao Hang to be accepted by the Feng Country and become a member of the General of Feng Country, he was the happiest.
The two of them were not very familiar with each other before. After all, one was in the imperial court, and the other was in the distant East Sea County. They had been limited by their territories, but they had admired each other for a long time.
Regarding the current situation of the Feng Country, Qing Yu gave a detailed introduction to it. Although the Feng Country was powerful to this day, there were many contradictions within it, and the relationship between them was even more complicated.
There were many factions within the Feng Country, many of which were unimaginably strong. There were the local factions with the Feng Country, including the Ning, Mo, and People of Zhen Country factions, and even within each faction, there would be many different small groups. The political opinions between these factions were not good, if they were able to kill the other party, they would definitely not be lenient. Take the Feng Ren for example, Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji seemed to have already jumped out of the faction, while Zhang Zhe, who was led by Censors, and Zhang Xin, who was led by Finance Minister, were incompatible, and there were frequent conflicts between the two factions. Even the factions of the Mo people were separated into nobles and commoners, such as Qing Yu, Li Jin, Li Jin and Qi Heng, and Guo Jue, all of them belonged to nobles, while everyone else looked down on everyone.
It could also be said that it was a miracle that these many factions lived together in the same palace, that they suppressed the contradictions under the water, that they allowed the Feng Country court to look as if they were united, that everything was calm and peaceful, and that the reason why Tang Yin was able to create this miracle was because of his hard work. It was not because Tang Yin had used many clever methods to resolve the conflicts between the various factions, but because Tang Yin's prestige was just too high. With him by himself, he had suppressed all of the factions, preventing them from acting rashly.
With so many hidden dangers in the Feng Country court, the root cause was still due to the rapid expansion of the court. Before a contradiction could be resolved, new contradictions followed and with this cycle, it had become the current deformed state it was in.
It was just that because Tang Yin was present, the imperial government of the Feng Country was still very stable.
Before Gao Hang surrendered, he could already tell that the situation with Feng Country would be complicated, but he just did not expect it to be so complicated, with so many factions.
After Qing Yu finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh bitterly: "I should really thank the King for allowing me to go to the Eastern Sea County to train my water army. I am prepared to go out to sea and attack the various island empires at any time."
Qing Yu laughed, raising his delicate eyebrows, he asked a question in reply, "Brother Gao, could you not see through my true intentions? It's a strategy to drive the tiger and devour the wolf. It's to make use of the opportunity to invade the island countries abroad, to maximize the consumption of Zhenjiang Navy and East Sea's water master! "
Gao Hang sighed, and said: "How can I not understand your thoughts?! However, I was born in the Eastern Sea Region, and am well aware of how dangerous pirates can be. No matter what the King thinks, if she really can eradicate pirates and ensure the safety and prosperity of one of her people, I am willing to do so even at the cost of my life. "
Qing Yu was moved when he heard it. There were not many people like Gao Hang who were so ambitious yet were willing to think for the sake of their own people. He sighed and said, "It's a pity that I don't know how to fight underwater. Otherwise, I really want to go out with Brother Gao and wipe out those barbarian bandits!"
Gao Hang said: "In an overseas battle, what I'm afraid of the most is that the supplies are insufficient. If General Qing Yu can stay in the imperial government and help me supervise the supplies, that would be equivalent to helping me out a lot."
Qing Yu thought for a while, patted his chest and said: "Leave this to me."
"Since that's the case, then I'll have to thank General Qing Yu first." There were a lot of people in the Feng Country Palace, other than Qing Yu, there were also Li Jin, Zhang Rong and the rest, but against these old officials of the Mo Country, Gao Hang had already given up, he just wanted to rely on them, and that would be pushing him into the pit of fire. Amongst so many people, Gao Hang was the only one worth trusting.
A few days had passed after the water army received Gao Hang's group, and the two prime ministers, Shangguan Yuanji and, finally arrived at the Zhenjiang.
With regards to the two of them coming over, Tang Yin was extremely excited, he personally went out of the city to welcome them. When he entered the city, he even pulled the two of them into his carriage, and the three of them sat together.
On the way, Tang Yin didn't exchange many pleasantries, and directly spoke out his thoughts of moving to the Zhenjiang.
Hearing that he wanted to move to the capital, Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen were both shocked. In fact, when Feng Country obtained the eight counties of Ning Bei, Yan City was no longer suitable for being the capital city. It was because the distance to the Ning Country was too far, causing the Feng Country government to be unable to control the Ning Country. And now, with the exception of the two counties, the Yan City was even more unsuitable for being the capital city.
People of Wind were the foundation of Feng Country, but no one wanted to move their capital out of their homeland. Although Ning and Mo had already merged into their Feng Country, in the hearts of traditional people of Wind People, they still could not accept it so quickly. It was precisely because of this that if anyone brought up the idea of moving to a city, it would mean that they had the intention to shake the very foundations of the Feng Country. Even Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen, who both lived high above them and was the prime ministers of both the left and right, and were both orthodox sages, would not dare to bring up this matter. Now that Tang Yin had suggested it himself, how could Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen not be shocked?
From an emotional point of view, the two were definitely supporting Tang Yin, but from a logical point of view, the two had no choice but to express their opposition. First was Shangguan Yuanji saying: "King, moving the capital to the Zhenjiang, I'm afraid that it will cause the citizens of the country to be dissatisfied, since the establishment of the Feng Country, the Yan City has always been the capital of the Feng Country, it has long become the symbol of the Feng Country, and in the traditional concept of a man of the wind, it is not acceptable to move the capital to the Zhenjiang, I hope your majesty thinks twice!"
Qiu Zhen agreed with Shangguan Yuanji's point of view as he nodded his head repeatedly and replied, "It's a good thing that the King has the intention to emigrate, but to put it into practice ? I'm afraid it won't be that easy. "
He hadn't even returned to the Yan City yet, but just meeting head on with Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen caused the two of them to simultaneously express their opposition. It could be seen how difficult it would be to convince the ministers in the middle of the court after returning to the Yan City.
Tang Yin said with dissatisfaction: "For the current Feng Country, they are located in a remote area, and their transportation is extremely unconvenient. They are not suitable to be the capital of a country, and move their Zhenjiang closer to the center. Why is that not possible?"
Shangguan Yuanji laughed bitterly, "Great King, the matter of moving to the capital involves too many matters at stake. From an emotional perspective, the old man would think that if the King abandoned them, they would grow dissatisfied with the King. Also, the ministers and merchants had their properties in their Yan City, so once they moved to the capital, they would feel that these properties were worthless. Therefore, regarding the matter of moving to the capital, the citizens will not support it, the ministers in the court will not support it, and from top to bottom, they will not support the King's decision. Then, the King's decision will not be carried out anymore.
Hearing his words, Tang Yin was speechless. He was the one who thought too simply about the problem. For a country, moving to a capital was a huge matter. The stakes and aspects involved were unimaginable, not something the king could decide just by patting his forehead and thinking about it.
"In that case, surely we can't move the capital anymore? So the nation with the Feng Country will die in the Yan City? " After holding it in for a while, Tang Yin finally asked unhappily.
In fact... That was it. Shangguan Yuanji muttered in his heart, but he did not say it out loud.
Qiu Zhen had the same thought, but he didn't want Tang Yin to be too angry, so he continued to speak, "Regarding this matter, we have to think it over and think it over carefully!"
"Nonsense!" After some consideration? How long is this plan going to take?! " Tang Yin slapped his thigh in anger, his gaze swept across Shangguan Yuanji and's body, and finally turned his head to look outside the carriage.
Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen looked at each other, not daring to speak anymore. The two of them actually wanted to support Tang Yin, and thought that moving to a new home was the right decision, but unfortunately, they were also powerless to do anything.2
If Tang Yin was truly out of everyone's control and wanted to move to the capital, then the discontent of the officials would be easy to handle. However, they were afraid that the discontent of the citizens would be used by others, which would lead to unexpected consequences. If the windmen did not support the King, then there was no need to even mention the people of Ningren, People of Zhen Country and Mo. At that time, the King would leave her family and it would be too late for regrets. This risk, Feng Country wouldn't be able to take it, at least not now.
Originally, Tang Yin was very happy with the arrival of Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen, but the two of them had poured cold water on his heart and poured cold water on him.
After and Qiu Zhen arrived at the Zhenjiang, they took over the majority of the military affairs for Tang Yin. At this point, it was finally time for Tang Yin to return to the Yan City.
Tang Yin wanted to leave the Zhenjiang, and Ling Shuang also wanted to return to Yu Country. The two of them were just able to travel together.
Before leaving the Zhenjiang, Tang Yin handed over the affairs of the main house to Shangguan Yuanji, the affairs of the main house to Qiu Zhen, and the affairs of the soldiers to Xiao Muqing.
Because the battle at Mo Country had not yet ended, the only Feng Army that could accompany Tang Yin back to the capital was Directly Subordinate Army. However, the Yu Army had all been withdrawn, so the current situation of Zhenjiang was already stable. Ling Shuang had almost recovered her Yu Country, so it would not be appropriate for him to stay in Zhenjiang any longer.
After Feng Yu's army left the Zhenjiang, they headed northwards. Actually, they couldn't travel too far when they were together, so they had to go their separate ways. It was just that this time was different from the past. Tang Yin and Ling Shuang were both separated by a bit, unwilling to part too early, so the speed of the two armies continued to advance at a very slow pace.
On this day, Feng Yu's army arrived at the Tong County area where the Haowan County was located, and if they walked further, they would enter the Zeping County. When they reached the Zeping, it would be the time when Tang Yin and Ling Shuang parted ways.
Tongxian County was a food-producing area. Looking at the two sides of the road, his eyes were filled with lush green fields. There was no end in sight. Tang Yin and Ling Shuang were not sitting in the carriage, they were riding horses together.
