2348 Thunder in the Windless Place(2)
"The Western Army of the Imperial Court, Your Majesty's Western Army!"
The voice of the old prime minister Mrs. Li shook the court, the wide robe was blown away by the wind, and a breath pressed the entire court into a dead silence, generals, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to fight anymore! Even Li Dongyang wanted to argue a few times, and looked at the situation around him, but he could only shake his head and stand back to his position in frustration.
What else are you talking about now! The old prime minister has already made it so clear that whoever is sent to take over the Western Army at this time will be the second Longyang! Although there is a wrongful one who beats everyone to death with a stick, it really gets to the point
The Western Army is based on the fertile land of the six provinces, more than 100,000 elites are eyeing each other, this force is still a powerful force that makes the court feel nervous in the heyday of Central Bia, not to mention that now it is in the case of serious damage to the main forces of the central army, the central government has just stabilized the situation, the Linhang area is in ruins, and the fertile north has been lost, and most of the empire's finances are empty, and as soon as spring arrives, I can't wait to collect this year's spring tax, and there are all kinds of miscellaneous items, even so, there are three or four million palace construction holes to the summer harvest, and now the war with the Western Army, not to mention 100,000 elites, even 50,000 troops who can fight can not be dragged out,
If the Southwest Army rebelled, what would the central authorities do to stop it? Finally drove away a Longyang, who dared to guarantee that after mastering the population resources of the six southwestern provinces and the more than 100,000 Western Army painstakingly cultivated by the Long family, the chief general of the New Western Army sent by the court would not point the spearhead of the march at Linhang?
It's so dangerous, but fortunately, the old prime minister can see far!
The young emperor of Zhongbia's face was cold, and there were still a few stunned, after listening to Prime Minister Li Tai's explanation, the body sitting on the dragon chair shook slightly, and his eyes burst out with a bright and terrible luster, why are you confused, the strength of the Western Army is now greater than that of the court. Since it must be mastered, it must not be in the hands of a certain general, this power can only belong to the central and royal forces!
According to the current situation of the Western Army, sending anyone to the center of the court is afraid that it will cause hostility from the top and bottom of the Western Army.
The Western Army has been self-contained for decades, and between generals and generals, officers and officers, it is almost a big family that is as close as a spider's web. It is not an exaggeration to call it an ironclad piece, for many years, the central government has tried its best, and it only caused the split of the Western Army a few decades ago, but that time also led to a complete break between the central government and the Western Army, and the Western Army's wariness of the central government has been raised to the highest level, and almost all the military attaches sent by the central government have been able to stay in peace for five years, and they are not repatriated on inexplicable charges. was beheaded by the Long family on various charges, so that in the past ten years, the military cabinet has issued an appointment list, as long as he sees that he went to the southwest. One by one, it's like losing their souls,
Instead of this, it is better to bring the Song people, who have always been entrenched in the south, to the southwest
Mountain barbarians against the Western Army, the current situation. Only the power of the Song clan can still make the Western Army feel nervous, as long as the Western Army is nervous. It is much easier for the court to push the boat to meddle in the southwest, after all, the Song valve is a mountain barbarian, the western army in the southwest, even if the central opinion is big, how can it not follow this mountain barbarian, the same with the Song clan The big enemy is pressed overhead, the possibility that the Western Army may have rebelled, it will be reduced to zero at once, the same way, unless the Western Army wants to start a war with the Song Valve and the central government at the same time, otherwise there is absolutely no room for opposition to this appointment, an appointment, the Western Army that has been separated from the central government for decades has a faint tendency to move closer to the central government, dragging the southern Song family into the quagmire of internal friction, this is no longer a conspiracy, this is a conspiracy, people can not resist the Yang conspiracy,
Even if the Southern Song Valve knew that it would be troublesome to enter the southwest, but in front of this piece of fat, he would have to bite it with a wound
Who doesn't know, Song Valve wants to find an opportunity to go up from the south these years, and he is already about to go crazy, last year's six barbarian rebellions were pushed by Song Valve's back, but they were pressed back by the old enemy Luzhou Army, and now let Song Valve justifiably enter the southwest, such an opportunity that is difficult to find in a hundred years, how can Song Valve endure it,
Shi Lilong, the head of the military department, sighed secretly, and threw himself to the ground with a real admiration for the old prime minister, his eyes swept over, and the looks of everyone in the court were also reflected in his eyes at this moment
The wind is blowing from the southwest, but it is Hanglin, which is thousands of miles away,
After the end of the temple meeting, the news will immediately spread throughout Linhang like the wind, and Song Valve will enter the southwest! You don't need to think about it to know what a sensational thing it will be, just like a drop of ice water falling into the oil of the boiling Buddha, and if it doesn't explode, it will be called hell. Although the Song people have a huge power in the south, but this mountain dragon may not be able to suppress the Western Army, which has been entrenched for many years, it is best for the Western Army and the Song Valve to fight up, and when the time comes, everyone is looking for an opportunity to rush up and divide the southwest and the south, it is not impossible, the emperor's determination, the conspiracy theory of the old prime minister of the Li Lord, and the selfishness of all forces in the court, this most unbelievable appointment letter in the history of the Central Bea Empire was passed
Outside the palace, it was rainy, and he came out of the place where the palace meeting was held, in front of the eighty-first order white jade, Li Long was about to step down the steps, and suddenly heard a thunderous voice behind him, "Li Shisanlang, please stay!" Li Long is ranked thirteenth at home, and he is the nephew of Prime Minister Li Tai, although Li Valve is a literati leader, his strength in the army should not be underestimated,
Li Long was able to climb to the fourth position in the military cabinet, in addition to the support of the family's strength, it is also because Li Long himself is good at strategy, and he has the proud experience of serving as a supervisor in the north of Yanzhou for 14 years, the Wenchen who has seen blood and the Wenchen who has not seen blood are different in the eyes of the Sino-Belgian army, and when he really arrives on the battlefield, in the face of the enemy surging like the tide of the sea, the general naturally does not want to command himself, it is a cowardly civilian official who has never even seen blood, but Li Long is different, although he is a civil minister, but he once served in the most tragic Yanzhou, and once personally led the army to stick to the most important Luojiang defense line on the northern flank of Yanzhou,
In that battle, Li Long, as a civilian supervisor of the army, personally commanded the Yanzhou army to hold the Luojiang defense line for seven days and nights when the Yanzhou army master was seriously injured, and smashed the encirclement of 100,000 grassland cavalry on the Yanzhou flank, and the grassland army died 60,000 in battle.
"Lord Tang Qianwen!"
Li Long squinted at the people walking in the distance. Looked a little surprised, hurriedly saluted, the man who came was burly, with a big red second-grade robe, a belly like a pot helmet, a gentle smile on his face, and six or seven civil officials behind him, like stars holding the moon and following behind
It is Tang Qianwen, the author of the Foreign Affairs Pavilion, who is one level higher than himself in terms of rank, and he is only the fourth person in the Military Cabinet. This is a real member of the Foreign Pavilion, a man of his word, don't look at this Tang Qianwen who looks rough on the outside, and his voice is like thunder, but in fact, he can embroider in his heart.
The Foreign Affairs Cabinet is responsible for the diplomacy of Central Biya and the management of vassal states, and the diplomacy of the Central Biya Empire has always been very monotonous
The central country, the others are all barbarians, and the arrogant attitude of the foreign cabinet can be imagined. The so-called diplomacy is more like a kind of charity for the suzerain, so the main aspect of the foreign affairs cabinet is still on the affairs of the vassal states of the Central Biya Empire. Li Long knew that in the eyes of those vassal states, this Lord Luo Qianwen was a rather terrifying figure, and this Lord was known as Qian Wen Tongtian. If you have money to give, it's easy to say anything, as long as it's not a rebellion. He will not care how the public resentment in these vassal countries is boiling, there is no money, no paper disrespects the suzerain, and the proclamation of His Majesty will be sent to His Majesty's table, His Majesty is furious, and the monarchs of those vassal countries may have to be re-established, "Lord Li Long is too polite!"
Tang Wenqian's fat eyes narrowed into a line, Li Long is a character specially cultivated by Li Valve, his identity and experience are extraordinary, and it is rumored that he is the successor of Prime Minister Li Tai, and the same is true of Mrs. Li back then, Wenchen experienced martial arts, and before entering the internal cabinet, he stayed in Yanzhou for seventeen years, seeing blood, killing, conspiracy, and yang conspiracy, he can take it at will, Li Valve is in his hands, like the sun and the sky for twenty years, but the Tang family and the Li family are both the same product, and his official position is still above Li Long, and it is also appropriate to receive Li Long's gift, he waved his hand to the subordinates behind him, and said with a cold face"You stay here"
"Yes, my lord," several of his subordinates hurriedly stopped
Tang Wenqian walked forward quickly, looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "Thirteen Lang is in charge of the military department and knows more about the military affairs than me, this time I encountered a difficult matter, and I ask Thirteen Lang to tell me!" "Difficult matter?" Li Long's face was stunned for a moment, Tang Wenqian was in charge of foreign affairs and vassals, and there was really no place to communicate with the military cabinet, what difficult things do you need to ask me?" "Does Thirteen Lang know about the Falcon Empire?" Tang Wenqian said with a strange face, "The number one power in the Western Continent, the Falcon Empire?" Li Long's eyes blinked, he had read a lot of secret letters in the army, as the fourth person in the military cabinet, he naturally heard of the Falcon Empire, this country that rose like a hurricane, swept most of the Western Continent, and single-handedly destroyed Gaul, the century-old enemy of Central Belgium, it is too difficult to make people not pay attention to it "cough cough" Tang Wenqian coughed a little embarrassed, took a deep breath and said" Since Shisanlang said that this Falcon Empire is the first power in the Western Continent, then it should not be wrong, my foreign affairs department has just received a circular letter, and the special envoy of the Falcon Empire will come to Hanglin in the near future, saying that it is the emperor of the Falcon Empire, congratulating the empire on the new establishment of Hanglin, and specially came to send two gifts to His Majesty" "It's just two gifts, although the Falcon Empire is the first power in the Western Continent, but this is Central Belgium, why should you be so nervous?"
Li Long's face was slightly stunned, and he didn't know why, when, this Lord Tang Wenqian changed his sex? The first powerful country in the Western Continent sent a special envoy to give gifts, which was a great thing in the eyes of the Foreign Affairs Pavilion, the country in the center, the barbarians came to the court, not to mention that it was still the first country in the Western Continent, this is a big face-raising thing, it stands to reason that this Lord Tang Wenqian should have shown off a long time ago, but now, how can he twist and pinch like a little foot daughter-in-law who has been caught by someone,
Is there something wrong? Or is there a problem with the gift? Li Long thought maliciously in his heart, Li Long has always been more disdainful of the style of this No. 2 person in the Tang Dynasty, among the four major and first products, Li Valve is the leader of the Wenchen, and the Tang Valve is in control of the empire's finances and foreign affairs, and he is full of copper smell, and has always been looked down upon by the Wenchens, but most of the economic lifeline of the empire is in the hands of the Tang valve, and the logistics of the entire imperial army are even more of the trade routes of the Tang Valve's extensive distribution of the empire
Tang Wenqian hesitated, took out a gift slip from his arms, gritted his teeth, and seemed to be holding a gift slip in his hand, but a red-hot soldering iron, "Don't hide it from Thirteen Lang, this time is indeed very troublesome, you can see my brother's difficulties" "Oh?" Li Long was really a little curious, what could scare this Qian Wentiantian Qian like this, took the gift list, his eyes swept inadvertently, his hands suddenly trembled, and his eyes almost bulged out, this time the congratulatory gifts sent by the Falcon Empire are really not much, just two things, but these two things, no matter which one, are enough to make this Hanglin set off monstrous fluctuations,
"Now Thirteen Lang knows how I feel!" Tang Wenqian smiled bitterly depressed, thinking that when he saw the gift list for the first time, he was not as calm as Li Long, and he really deserved to be a ruthless person who drank the blood of the grassland people in Yanzhou,
"Why are you looking for me about this?"
Li Long now has a little hatred for this Lord Tang Wenqian, tell me what is this for? Isn't it good for everyone to pretend that they don't know together? But the other party is the honor of a pavilion, Li Long only dared to think about it in his heart, and at the same time secretly rejoiced, fortunately, he knew in advance, otherwise when the imperial envoy arrived in Linhang, the face of the entire military pavilion would be completely wiped out, without this, what does the Falcon Empire mean?
Tang Wenqian said with a gloomy face, "Since we haven't arrived in Hangzhou yet, then there is still a chance on the road, this kind of thing can't be done by the Pavilion, but the Military Pavilion can do it, there are countless masters in the army, and if you give an order, you will naturally be unaware!
Li Long rolled his eyes, as if he saw a pig on a tree, looking at Tang Wenqian, Princess Mingyue is the emperor's sister, the eldest princess of the empire, not to mention the noble status, the problem is that on the day of the catastrophe in the imperial capital, this Princess Mingyue stood alone in front of the palace to block the grassland army from entering the palace, which is already known to the entire Central Beya
From the bottom of my heart, as long as she is a Zhongbiya person, who dares not to admire the courage of this Mingyue princess! Hearing that she was coerced by the grassland people, how many Zhongbiya men were heartbroken, and when the army recruited new soldiers, the slogan that was once put forward was that there was a northward march to welcome back Princess Mingyue inside, and now Princess Mingyue is back, the question is how it was sent back by the Falcon Empire.
Thinking of another gift from the Empire, Li Long felt that his blood was about to boil, not excited, but ashamed, the shame of being a soldier of the Central Belgian Empire, and the other gift was the head of Annaningge, the lord of the Wolf Rui Army, one of the Eight Armies of the Eastern Court! That was the first devil to attack the century-old imperial capital that day, and under the horse's hooves were the souls of hundreds of thousands of people in the imperial capital, and how many Chinese soldiers had the most terrible nightmare in their hearts.
But this demon was killed by the Falcon Empire, which was originally a good thing, but unfortunately, in such a situation, it was a naked slap in the face of the entire Central Biya Military Department!
In the end, Li Long's eyes fell on the signature behind the gift list, and he was immediately stupid, a very delicate signature, it turned out to be a small red block script printed on the top of Yuehua on the side of the Chinese and Biya characters "Yuehua", it was a Li character! Li Yuehua! Red seal like blood! (To be continued......
