Chapter 408: Drink on the head
"I am willing to help Jun pacify the east of the river and sweep the north of the river!"
Excited, Du Qianyun blurted out, but Qin Jin shook his head. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Pinghe is easy in the east, but Pinghe is even more difficult in the north. ”
Du Qianyun was stunned again and asked:
"The east of the river is down, its momentum will become, the Shenwu army enters the east of the river, and the tiger goes down the mountain, why worry about the uncertainty of the north?"
Qin Jin didn't answer and asked: "If this is the case, why did the imperial court fail in Hebei three times and five times?"
This question made Du Qianyun speechless, and he only briefly summed it up as the low combat strength of the Tang army and the intrigue of the internal generals. Therefore, it was concluded that most of the failures of ** were to blame on their own families. However, listening to Qin Jin's tone, it seems that the failure of the imperial court's two counteroffences in Hebei Province does not seem to be related to this alone.
"I'm confused, please make you clear. ”
Qin Jin stretched out his right arm in front of the map on the screen, and pointed twice at the location of Hebei Province.
Hebei Province is the nest of the rebels, and anyone who wants to get involved in this place can't avoid the elite of Youyan under the command of An Lushan. In other words, unless An Lushan's elite men and horses are exhausted, they will never give up Youzhou easily.
Therefore, on the surface, ** is fighting for a place in Hebei Province, but in fact it is fighting against the entire pseudo-Yan, in contrast, the imperial court is always just instigating the local spontaneous organization of counterattacks, and the ** in Hebei is not even a partial division, the vast majority of them are hastily formed unity soldiers, how can they win the battle under this huge disparity in strength?
There is only one result, it can only be under the dismal management, and because the passage between Guanzhong and Hebei Province, Hedong Road, is occupied by the rebels, and in the end it can only be helplessly defeated under internal and external difficulties.
At the beginning, Yan Gaoqing mobilized the fifteen counties of Hebei Province to oppose An Lushan, and once made a vigorous noise, but in less than a month, it was completely wiped out by An Lushan, and the reason is here. Including Feng Changqing, it is said that he has experienced several fiascos, and finally seized the opportunity to fight a beautiful counterattack.
However, if the passage of Hedong Road is still occupied by rebels, it is conceivable that Gao Xianzhi, who is in a situation of no help inside and outside, will only get more and more difficult day by day. Qin Jin extended his hand to the east of the river from the post of Feng Yijun Taishou, desperately planning to clear the road to Taiyuan in Guanzhong, and the fundamental purpose was precisely this.
When Feng Changqing's three words came out of Qin Jin's mouth, Du Qianyun suddenly realized with a pat on the head. It turned out that the envoy did not want to go to Hebei in person, but to achieve his goal with the help of Feng Changqing's troops in Hebei.
After following Qin Jin for more than half a year, Du Qianyun thought that he had figured out Qin Jin's temperament, especially in several major wars in Hedong Province, Qin Jin had always borrowed many forces, such as Huangfu Ke, such an unruly person was actually cleaned up and obedient. But then he was a little worried, Feng Changqing was a person who had been a marshal after all, and his status was far from being comparable to that of Huangfu Ke, could Qin Jin concoct this person in the same way?
With a heavy heart, Du Qianyun involuntarily raised his head and looked at Qin Jin. I saw that he seemed to be full of confidence, and his worry was a little less.
At this time, Qin Jin suddenly changed his words and mentioned the formation of a new guard.
"Starting tomorrow, I will first draw 500 qualified men from each army, but your caravan will need to purchase military weapons. ”
Du Qianyun was greatly surprised, "Weapons and armor have always been allocated by the imperial court, and the Shenwu Army also captured a lot in the Battle of Jiangzhou, why do you have to buy it separately?"
This seemed a little incomprehensible to him, in addition to being extravagant and wasteful, Du Qianyun couldn't imagine that it would have a better impact, but this approach was very different from Qin Jin's consistent temperament.
"It is true that the weapons and armor in the army are all allocated by the imperial court, but they are all inferior goods, including the former army of the Shenwu Army, and the weapons and armor are not the best in the army...... The new guard corps formed must become the benchmark for all battalions in the Shenwu Army, so the hardware conditions must be the best in the army and even in the world. ”
Listening to Qin Jin's request, Du Qianyun frowned and smacked his tongue, but fortunately, it was only the scale of equipping five hundred people, and there was still room for operation, if it was the entire Shenwu Army, even if he poured out all the gold and silver, I am afraid that it might not be able to make the Son of Heaven and the prime ministers of the Political Hall nod.
For example, the Divine Arm Crossbow that was transported this time was because Du Ganyun spent a lot of money to buy off all the key joints, and used the Divine Arm Crossbow as an ordinary bow and arrow, so that it could be transported to Jiangxian County. Therefore, this method can not be repeated.
"Although the ordnance supervisor is our own family, after all, the weapons and armor are to be transferred from the treasury, and we have done a lot of hands and feet, so I am afraid that the incident will happen and cause big trouble......
Qin Jin saw that Du Qianyun didn't seem to understand his intentions, so he simply opened the skylight and said something bright.
"You misunderstood what I meant, who said that the world's weapons and armor must come from the Chang'an arsenal?"
After hearing this, Du Qianyun only felt a feeling of suffocation, and fainted under the difficulty of breathing, and the shock in his heart was beyond measure, could it be that Qin Envoy Jun planned to privately make weapons and armor in the Shenwu Army?
Although the Tang Dynasty's orders were not as cruel and strict as those of the Han Dynasty, they attached great importance to the source control of weapons and armor. Without the permission of the imperial court, if you build more than ten pieces of armor without permission, you will be punished as a conspiracy and wipe out the three clans.
"The envoy wants to make his own armor and weapons?"
Facing Du Qianyun's somewhat stammering question, Qin Jin nodded. He did this out of a longer-term plan, out of his understanding of Li Longji, the imperial court's difficulties for the Shenwu Army would only get worse day by day, that is to say, the further back he went, the narrower the road in front of him, if he only thought about finding a solution from Chang'an, it would be tantamount to asking for a fish from the wood.
And the most direct manifestation of this difficult situation is that the imperial court is buckling the arrows and standing by on the grain and grass.
Since leaving Chang'an, Chang'an has not allocated another grain for the Shenwu Army, and if there is no commercial profit to support it, I am afraid that the Shenwu Army will have already dispersed.
Just a few days ago, he had just received a secret report from Chang'an, and the political affairs hall rejected the Shenwu Army's request for the third time to transfer arrows, and it is said that Gao Lishi was involved in this matter, so he was forced to die...... Since Gao Lishi is involved, Qin Jin has reason to believe that there will be a shadow of the Son of Heaven behind this.
Therefore, in order to solve the immediate difficulties and focus on the future, it is necessary to fundamentally solve the problem of the supply of weapons to the Shenwu Army. The contest with the puppet Yan rebels must be protracted, at least three or five years, at most ten years and eight years, without the support of stable military materials, it will be difficult to last long.
"The site has been chosen, and it is in Pujin! This matter, you have to give priority, from experienced craftsmen to all materials, you must give priority to solving it. ”
After the initial shock, Du Qianyun's state of mind has calmed down a little, and in the face of Qin Jin's trust and entrustment, he promised in a deep voice that he would not fail in his mission.
At this moment, the curtain of a convenient door at the back of the main hall was lifted from the outside, and a retinue stepped in, still holding a brass pipe in his hand. I saw him tiptoe to Qin Jin's bookcase, and gently placed the copper pipe in his hand on the side of a stack of official documents.
Du Qianyun secretly said that this was indeed the case, Qin Yuanjun really had another information channel, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, but he didn't cheat like he used to do on weekdays, otherwise his fate would definitely be unimaginable.
Qin Jin really immediately walked quickly from the front of the screen map to the bookcase, stretched out his hand to copy the copper pipe from the bookcase, slapped the sealing mud in three or two clicks, unscrewed off one end of the copper pipe, and poured out a roll of parchment from it.
After the parchment was unfolded, it was densely covered with fly-headed letters. Du Qianyun glanced restlessly, trying to see what was written on it, but it was too far away to make out a single word on the parchment.
This parchment is indeed a secret letter from Chang'an, and the first half of its content was expected by Qin Jin, but the second half made him puzzled, frowning and thinking for a while, but there was no result.
So, Qin Jin raised his hand and handed the parchment to the trembling Du Qianyun, he wanted to hear this person's opinion.
Seeing that Qin Jin did not shy away from himself, his heart was greatly moved, and Du Qianyun took the parchment in Qin Jin's hand with trepidation. After a cursory glance, the content recorded on it was really exactly the same as guessed, it was a secret report from Chang'an. It's just that there is no payment on the secret report, and of course it is impossible to see who the name of the person in the secret report is.
The first half of the secret report reported that Wei Ji found Zheng Xianli and tried to communicate with Qin Jin through Zheng Xianli, expressing his willingness to reconcile. This was originally expected by them, Wei Ji's foundation in the court was very shallow, and his wings were far from hard enough to fly solo.
Du Qianyun once suggested that Qin Jin take this opportunity to completely trample on Wei Ji and not turn over, and also issued a warning to those who have different intentions, once they make misdeeds, it will be this kind of miserable end. But Qin Jin didn't have the intention of killing everything, and after teaching Wei Ji a lesson, he planned to keep this person. Of course, it is inevitable that this person will suffer more.
The second half of the secret report made Du Qianyun shiver, and after reading just a few hundred words, he broke out in a cold sweat, and even his brocade robe was soaked.
"Zhang Qing is Jing Zhaoyin, the Son of Heaven, what does the Son of Heaven want?"
Qin Jin's face was gloomy, and he said after a long time:
"The crown prince will not be deposed, and the expectations of the kings are afraid that they will be disappointed. ”
Listening to Qin Jin's unhurried words, Du Qianyun actually lost his voice and said:
"The crown prince must be deposed, otherwise wouldn't it be a catastrophe for the Shenwu Army?"
In the Chang'an Mutiny, although the Shenwu Army briefly united with the prince, but then it was a sword and gun confrontation after all, if the prince inherited the unification after a hundred years of the Son of Heaven, how could there be revenge?
However, he looked at Qin Jin as if he didn't care, as if the Son of Heaven appointed Zhang Qing as Jing Zhaoyin and had nothing to do with him.
"Right now, the Shenwu Army is at the key point of exerting its strength, but it ......is like heaven and earth," Du Qianyun sighed heavily, "I knew this was the case, it was better to let Wei Ji stay in Jingzhao Mansion......"
Qin Jin asked rhetorically:
"Whether Wei Ji stays or not, can he influence the mind of the Son of Heaven?"
