Chapter 974: Inferior Root Nature
Now the strength under Ye Qing's command, whether it is against the Shangjin people, the Mongolian people or the Xia people, has the power to fight, but there is no absolute advantage.
But in the matter of military intelligence, Ye Qing has an incomparable advantage over the others, since he served as the commander of the Imperial City Division for so many years, the intelligence agency developed with the Imperial City Division as the structure has covered all the territories of China.
And this is also the reason why Ye Qing dared to take the initiative to fight against Xia even when he was not so well prepared.
Similarly, in the face of the Jin people, Ye Qing has a huge advantage in terms of military information, which is not comparable to the Jin people at all, so it cannot be said that Ye Qing, who is far away in Jingzhao Mansion, knows every move, but in the matter of military intelligence, even the slightest wind and grass will never escape Ye Qing's eyes.
Naturally, whether it was the marching speed of the army led by the begging Shilie gods, or the army led by Li Tiege and Li Xi'er, who went south to attack Jinan all the way, they were all in Ye Qing's control.
But even so, Ye Qing still can't determine how many officials in the four major states of Yanyan Road, which are adjacent to Jinjing River Northeast Road and Hedong East Road, are still inclined to Jinren.
In the first time after the recovery of the Hetao Third Road, when the officials left behind at the beginning were rectified, for those officials whose deeds were suspicious and uncertain, they all adopted the method of transferring them from the Yanyan Road and sending them to the Jingzhaofu Road, or other roads, in short, the purpose of this was to isolate the contact between the remaining officials and the Jin people as much as possible, so that in the event of a war between the two sides, the danger of such internal and external cooperation could be minimized.
So now at the sensitive moment when he is about to fight with Jin, if Ye Qing wants to kill chickens and monkeys, or eliminate dissidents, it is obviously unlikely that the scope of action is too large, as Qingwang Zhao Kai said, the remaining officials who are still being sent enjoy a certain reputation in the hearts of the local people, if they wantonly fabricate charges to eliminate dissidents without any conclusive evidence, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble, and it may even be possible that because of this, the people's hearts that have not yet been completely stabilized will be pushed to the side of the Jin people.
This move is not because Ye Qing is living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but because of this phenomenon, in the history of the Chinese nation, it has been preserved and passed down like traditional virtues.
Decades of alien invasion, enough to make the people regardless of right and wrong "recognize the thief as the father", this is not new in the history of the Chinese nation, even in later generations, the island that hangs alone, but because of the 50 years of occupation of the Japanese state, to this day still like to recognize the thief as the father, but to his biological parents have been speaking ill of each other, even the Oriental Pearl that has returned to China for 20 years, to this day is still the "kindness" of the invaders, and would rather be a dog than a man.
It can also be seen that in the inheritance of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, some inferior roots have been inherited from beginning to end.
Therefore, today's Ye Qing will not believe at all that the people of the eight roads in the north are now completely submissive to the Song court.
He believed that once the Song army fell slightly behind in the battle with the Jin people on the third road of Hetao, even if it was a small defeat in the entire battle, it would inevitably cause the common people to rise up, and at that time, the entire Song army, including him Ye Qing, would not be able to stand up in legitimacy.
These are naturally not Ye Qing's imagination, after all, for thousands of years, this kind of thing has been common in the history of the Chinese nation, which also made Ye Qing, in the upcoming war with the Jin people, have to take measures to kill chickens and monkeys to suppress a wave of people and officials who are ready to move.
Bai Chun rubbed Ye Qing's temples, and now the names of three people have been placed on the table in the study, and in the past two years in Jingzhao Mansion, whether it is Bai Chun or Liu Lan'er, they have never been idle.
But if you want to make sure that every remaining official can be monitored, it is completely impossible, so even now, especially on the Yanyan Road bordering Jin, Bai Chun has only found three leftover officials who are still extremely far-fetched to be related to Jin.
"Pang Chuan, Han Fu, and Fan Wenwen, among them, the most famous is Na Fan Wenwen, who is said to be the descendant of Fan Zhongyan, the Duke of Chu back then." Bai Chun looked at the three names on the table and explained to Ye Qing, whose temples were white, making her heart feel like a pinprick.
"Fan Zhongyan's descendants?" Ye Qing was startled, hurriedly sat up straight, picked up the document about Fan Wenwen and read it carefully.
Bai Chun looked at Ye Qing, who was taken aback, sat down next to him, and continued: "Back then, Yanzhou was also a military important place, and Song Xia fought a lot here, Fan Zhongyan and others used to resist the enemy here, and it was not until it was occupied by the Jin people that this area calmed down. Therefore, if it is really the descendant of Fan Zhongyan, the Duke of Chu, it is not impossible. And even if it is not, it must have a deep relationship with the Duke of Chu. ”
"What about the other two?" Ye Qing continued to flip through the paperwork in his hand, and asked without raising his head.
"Pang Chuan and Han Fu were both born in the Jinting Imperial Examination, especially Han Fu, who was originally called Han Fu, but when he participated in the imperial examination, for some reason, he changed his name to Han Fu. The concubine guessed that the reason why he did this was entirely to be able to be promoted, so he would change to become rich. Bai Chun was as tender as water, and his bright eyes were full of tenderness and distress.
"It is natural to change the name for the imperial examination, after all, the imperial examination can be regarded as the only way out for the literati, and if you lose your future because of your name, then it is too stupid." After Ye Qing finished reading Fan Wenwen's documents, he flipped through the documents of Han Fu and Pang Chuan.
Hai Dongqing, which Temujin gave to Ye Qing back then, is still as white as snow, with a huge body that makes people feel frightened, coupled with the flexible and somewhat cute head, he has been looking curiously at this moment when Ye Qing is talking to Bai Chun.
"All three of them are on duty on Yanyan Road, but they ......." Bai Chun casually stroked Xiao Bai Chun's obedient head, and then continued: "In addition to Yanzhou, Yanyan Road belongs to Baoan, Fangzhou, and Fuzhou as the most, plus these four states are not far from the Jinren, and the farthest distance from the Yellow River is only one hundred and ten miles, although it is relatively easy to fabricate charges, but the risk is also very high, especially at this delicate moment, the entire Yanyan Road can be said to be the front line." ”
Ye Qing nodded approvingly, his gaze shifted from the paperwork on the desktop to Hai Dongqing, and then after thinking for a while, he still asked, "Is there any news from Yeluyue's side recently?" ”
"The Liao people were defeated again and again, the Mongols were like a bamboo, the Liao army could not stop their iron cavalry at all, only a few important towns with a slightly city scale, although they could resist a little for a while, but after all, it was a drop in the bucket, and they were not the opponents of the Mongols at all. As for the Liao Wangcheng...... Because of the war in the Xia Kingdom, coupled with the war between Mongolia and Liao, it is extremely difficult to get news now. Bai Chun's eyes, which were originally as gentle as water, became much darker at this time.
Now it is not only her, but even Ye Qing, there has been no news of Yeluyue for a long time, even if it is the most elite spy sent out by Bai Chun, but in this turbulent period when there is war everywhere, it is also difficult to get news about Liaowang City.
As for Yeluyue's news, there is no way to talk about it, but I vaguely know that shortly after the start of Temujin's first war against Liao, the relationship between the northern and southern courts, which was already extremely tense, has become more and more tense, and there have been several large and small conflicts.
"Did you tell her about Qu Zhulu at the beginning?" Ye Qing bit his lip for a long time before slowly asking.
"Qu Zhulu died, and it was Yeluyue who killed her with her own hands, because of this incident, it also made the relationship between her and the Liao prince Yelu Zhilugu tense, so that the king of the Southern Courtyard, Xiao Xuli, was able to suppress the Northern Mansion. But since this incident, Yeluyue has taken the initiative to cut off the connection with the concubine, and every letter is like a stone sinking into the sea. Bai Chun frowned, and his forehead, which was as white as jade, was still as good-looking and beautiful as before.
"If she really had a bad relationship with Yelu Zhilugu because of Qu Zhulu's matter, then her current situation in the Liao Kingdom would be really too dangerous." Ye Qing said a little heavily, and then sighed slightly.
Qu Zhulu has always been valued by Yelu Zhilu, so that in the end, Qu Zhulu was killed in the hunt, so as to seize the throne of Liao without much effort.
Although Ye Qing had no way to tell Yeluyue about this matter, he had been reminding Yeluyue to be careful against Qu Qu Yue, and now when Yelu Yue was attacking Liao, he suddenly killed Qu Qu Qu Yue with his own hands, it seems that it is very likely that something unknown happened, so that Yelu Yue had to do this.
But in this way, under the internal and external troubles, Yeluyue's situation naturally became more and more dangerous, once Yelu Zhilugu no longer cared about her sister, once Xiao Zhili stabbed in the way, plus Temujin had already begun to conquer Liao, and now it became more and more difficult to save Yeluyue.
"Is there no other way?" Bai Chun looked at Ye Qing who was in a daze in front of her with some dissatisfaction, pinched Ye Qing's arm and asked.
"I don't know, even if there is, it's no longer up to us." In Ye Qing's mind, Temujin's figure involuntarily appeared, and he was not sure if Temujin would look at his past friendship, so he would open his eyes and let Yeluyue go.
Moreover, even if Temujin let Yeluyue go, with that girl's temperament, would she abandon Liao and go to herself? What's more, between herself and her, there is still a Xia Kingdom who can't wait to break her body into pieces.
So today's Ye Qing, even if he wants to help Yeluyue, he can't help it, he can only take one step at a time, or pray for God's mercy to give Yeluyue a chance to live.
But no matter what, under Bai Chun's surveillance, Ye Qing still had to do the useless work of obeying the destiny of heaven, not only to send a letter to Yu Yunwen, but also to Li An'an, who was about to seize the throne of Xia State, at this time when he was at war with Xia Zheng.
