The Imperial Palace of the Northern Jin Dynasty

Emperor Liyang's face was not very good-looking, as he said, it is true that the current situation is still under the control of the Northern Jin Dynasty, but the two are changing rapidly, who knows if there will be mistakes in the future.

The war in the Northern Jin Dynasty was undecided for a day, and where would Emperor Liyang really rest easy.

Emperor Liyang's words made the Northern Jin Dynasty ministers in the palace silent, and everyone looked at each other a few times, but they didn't stand up to say anything.

"Since Your Majesty is worried about the loss of Qingnan, why don't you send some reinforcements to support, the Southern Chu Xia clan is treacherous, and may not be willing to fight desperately for the Western Zhou, as long as our army increases its troops and holds on, I think it will definitely ensure the safety of the Qingnan area."

Shangguan Ye's words were said to Emperor Liyang's heart, he raised his head and asked with hope.

"Then according to the right minister's intentions, who should be sent to reinforce them, and where should the troops be transferred from?"

Shangguan Ye pondered for a moment, and arched his hand and said: "Pinghu has the right general Sha Qianying in charge, there is no need to send heavy generals to go, it is enough to transfer two fourth-grade generals, as for the soldiers and horses........."

Shangguan Ye paused for a moment and looked at Zhuang Jia, the Shangshu of the Northern Jin Dynasty Military Department next to him, Zhuang Shangshu saw his eyes and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Before the 200,000 border troops were lost, the imperial court sent 300,000 horses from all over the country to the front line, and now, Yongzhou has been hollowed out, and Jizhou has also been drawn up most of the troops, and it can no longer be moved.

At present, if you want to support Qingnan, you can only squeeze some soldiers and horses out under Han Shuai and in the Beijing camp. ”

……………

As soon as Zhuang Jia's voice fell, Qian Ban, the head of the household department, stood up: "Han Shuai can't move, and now I move frequently towards the border. Chaos, the pirate rogue near the coast saw this, and he had already thought carefully and wanted to rob the state capital of our country along the coast, but fortunately, with Han Shuai in charge, this group of Xiaoxiao did not dare to move.

If once the imperial court dispatches Han Shuai's troops and horses, the pirates will inevitably take action when they learn the news, and now the border is already restless, and the coastal areas can no longer be chaotic. ”

The coastal area of the East China Sea in the north of Gyeongju is an important outlet for foreign trade in the Northern Jin Dynasty and one of the main sources of finance and taxation in the Northern Jin Dynasty.

The household department was in charge of the grain tax revenue of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and attached great importance to the security of the East China Sea coast.

The monarchs and ministers present were speechless for a while when they saw Qian Ban, who was like a calf protector, but they also knew that the coast of the East China Sea was the heart of the household, and they must protect it desperately.

In addition, although Qian Shangshu's words were exaggerated, pirates in the East China Sea were indeed rampant, otherwise the Northern Jin Dynasty would not have sent a Quartet general to guard here.

Therefore, if troops and horses were really dispatched from the coast of the East China Sea to support Gyeongnam, the pirate rebellion mentioned by Qian Shangshu would not have happened.

If that's the case, then the Northern Jin Dynasty court will be comfortable.

There are 400,000 Zhou troops in Beiling City in the west.

There were 200,000 Chu troops in the south who plotted against Qingnan.

In the east, hundreds of pirates from the East China Sea plundered the coast.

There are enemies everywhere, and there is no peace in the country.........

…………

Thinking of this, Emperor Liyang and the ministers of the Northern Jin Dynasty, one of them counted one, and they all dispelled the idea of transferring troops along the coast of the East China Sea.

And the idea of the East China Sea coast can't be beaten, then the only thing left is to transfer troops from the Beijing camp, thinking of this, everyone focused their eyes on a middle-aged man in the last position of the ministers in the palace.

Unlike Shangguan Ye, Zhuang Jia, and Qian Ban, a group of bigwigs wearing vermilion official robes, this middle-aged man only wore a blue official uniform, and the bear pattern was embroidered on his chest, which proved that he was a fourth- or fifth-grade general.

Today, the official grades of the Three Kingdoms are all inherited from the previous dynasties, so the official uniforms of the Three Kingdoms are almost the same, except for special yamen such as the Prosecutor's Office and Long Xiaoxiao.

The grade of official uniforms, divided according to the color, the first grade is vermilion, the second and third grades are purple, in response to the sentence Zhu Zigui of the Manchu Dynasty, the ministers who wear these two colors of official uniforms are all important ministers of the court, bigwig-level characters.

Below the first, second and third grades, there are four or five stalwarts of the imperial court, and the official uniform is blue.

The low-level officials of the middle and low-level six or seven grades wear cyan official uniforms, and the eight or nine grades wear green.

Officials without grade wear soap, that is, black, but because the three countries have their own customs and national conditions, the convenience of dressing for officials is not consistent, and there is no mandatory requirement.

In addition to the color of the official uniform, the color of the official uniform can distinguish the identity level of the official, and the embroidery on the chest of the official uniform is also a way to distinguish it.

There are two kinds of embroidery, different in culture and martial arts, and the embroidery on the chest of the Chinese official is all birds.

The first grade embroidered crane, the second grade embroidered golden pheasant, the third grade peacock, the fourth grade cloud goose, the fifth grade white pheasant, the sixth grade heron, the seventh grade, the eighth grade yellow oriole, the ninth grade quail.

The military attache is embroidered with fierce beasts on his chest, the first product is embroidered with lions, the second and third grades are embroidered with tigers and leopards, and the fourth and fifth grades are embroidered with bears. Six or seven products embroidered biao, eight products of rhinoceros, nine products of seahorses.

From this point of view, as long as the official is wearing an official uniform, he knows what level of civil official / or military general he is at a glance.

In other words, the official uniform is a status symbol for officials............

…………

So back to the text, who is this middle-aged man wearing a tattooed bear blue official robe that symbolizes the four or five military generals?

Why can he gather here with a group of Northern Jin Dynasty bigwigs?

When everyone mentioned Jingying, why did they all look at him with a low official position?

Here's the thing, this person's name is Shen Ya, and his identity is General Mingwei of the Northern Jin Dynasty, the acting deputy governor of the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion, and the son of Si Chengbo.

Of course, this series of names is very bluffing in front of others, but it is nothing in today's hall, and what can really make everyone focus on it is not Juan Ya himself, but his father Admiral Jiumen, Si Cheng Boge Thunder.

This military giant, who has been seriously ill since the beginning of last year, has been absent for a long time, and the military and political affairs of the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion are all handled by his son Shen Ya and another deputy admiral.

Today's discussion in front of the palace, the Admiral of Jiumen, the Gyeonggi Heavy General, is not good, but Admiral Ge Ge is not in good health, so he asked his son Geya to come instead.

After all, Geya has the official position of the deputy governor of the Jiumen Dynasty, and he is the son of Ge Leiting, so he can represent the attitude of the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion and the Ge family.

Originally, Geya thought that this time in front of the palace, he was just going through the motions, showing up for his father, and brushing his face in front of Emperor Liyang and the court bigwigs by the way.

In order for his seriously ill father to pass away, he can take advantage of this to sit firmly in the current position of deputy admiral, and keep the status of the Ge family from falling quickly.

But he didn't want Emperor Liyang to chat and chat, so he led the conversation to the side of the Beijing battalion soldiers.

Jingying is under the jurisdiction of the Jiumen Admiral's Office, and it is discussed to transfer the soldiers and horses of the Jingying to Gyeongnam, and he, the representative of the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion, who is present, must not be dumb.

So, staring at the eyes of the monarchs and ministers in the palace, Shen Ya stood up with white sweat.

"Minister...... The minister thought that the Beijing camp was responsible for guarding Kyoto, and it was not appropriate to move lightly, so he hoped that His Majesty would think twice. ”

…………

Each person stands in a different position, and what he wants to say naturally has his own tendencies.

Just as just now, the East China Sea case was related to the finance and taxation of the Ministry of Households, so the Qian Ban, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, took the initiative to stand up and defend it, and did everything possible to persuade the garrisons along the coast of the East China Sea not to move lightly.

And now, what Gea is doing is also out of this mentality.

Both Ge Leiting and his son served in the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion, and the influence of father and son on the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion was deep-rooted.

At the same time, because of this, there are many close generals and forces of the Ge father and son under the command of the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion, and Geya naturally doesn't want these subordinates to go to Qingnan to fight with the Chu army.

Before rushing to the aid of Jiangjunguan, the imperial court had already dispatched 50,000 soldiers and horses from the Beijing battalion, which made the father and son of the Ge family distressed for a long time, but they had no choice but to endure the crisis on the front line.

But now that Emperor Liyang has the idea of Jingying again, Geya really can't help it.

His father is now seriously ill in bed, and once he dies, the Ge family will inevitably withdraw from the top family in the court.

At that time, if the Ge family wants to make a comeback in the future and return to the top, it must control the foundation of the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion, which the Ge family has been deeply cultivating for nearly ten years, in order to follow.

Therefore, the pro-revolutionary forces of the remaining 150,000 soldiers and horses of the Ge family in Beijing must not be damaged again.

Otherwise, Ge Ya really didn't dare to imagine that after the death of his father Ge Leiting, the Ge family would still have some weight in the court and even in the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion.

…………

However, although Geya wanted to do his best to oppose Emperor Liyang's transfer of troops from the Beijing camp, it was a pity that his voice was too weak.

If his father were here today, the ministers would have to back down a little, but Geya, who is a younger brother in front of the ministers in terms of identity and generation, has the qualifications to discuss state affairs in vain?

So, there was no need for Emperor Liyang to open his mouth, and the right minister Shangguanye and the official department Shangshu Qian Ban, who advocated the transfer of troops from the Beijing camp, the two bigwigs worked together to spray Geya with blood, kneeling on the ground and not daring to say more.

After cleaning up Geya, Ge Leiting was seriously ill in bed again, unable to discuss matters, and Emperor Liyang, who was qualified to stop him, had a tacit attitude, and now the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion no longer had the obstacle of transferring troops, and the ministers began to discuss how many troops and horses to send to support Qingnan.

As I said before, the Admiral of Jiumen commanded the four battalions of Beijing, and was responsible for guarding Kyoto, with a total of 200,000 people, and later galloped to help the general pass has transferred 50,000, and now there are only 150,000 soldiers and horses left in the Beijing camp.

According to the meaning of the military department, there are still 100,000 forbidden troops in Shengjing, and there are also a certain number of defenders in the surrounding Gyeonggi town to defend the city, and the defense force in Kyoto is sufficient, so it is planned to draw out 120,000 soldiers and horses from the 150,000 Beijing battalion and send them to Gyeongnam.

But this idea was blocked by Bao Huaiwei, the left prime minister, who meant that Shengjing had a prominent status and needed to be heavily guarded and could not take risks, so it was too much to send 120,000 soldiers and horses from the Beijing battalion, and there were still 80,000 or 90,000 people in Qianying in Qingnansha, and it was enough to send 50,000 Beijing battalions.

Both sides have their own supporters, and they insist on each other's words, and neither of them can convince anyone, so let Emperor Liyang decide.

Emperor Liyang, his heart is towards Bao Huaiwei, after all, he himself is in Shengjing, so he naturally wants to leave more soldiers and horses to protect himself, in addition, the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp of the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion are, to some extent, the emperor's descendants.

The loyalty to Emperor Liyang is second only to the forbidden army guarding the palace, and even if it were not for the fact that it was a major national event to rush to the border, Emperor Liyang would not want to send the Beijing camp to the battlefield.

However, although Emperor Liyang was reluctant to send his descendants to the front line, he was afraid that Qingnan would lose and the lesser of two evils, Emperor Liyang weighed it in his heart and thought that it was important to keep Qingnan.

However, Emperor Liyang still played a careful mind, and he chose between the two numbers of 120,000 proposed by Zhuang Jia and 50,000 mentioned by Bao Huaiwei.

On the evening of the same day, Emperor Liyang issued an order to order Cao Yuanjiang, the general of Pingnan, to select 80,000 soldiers and horses from the four battalions in Beijing and rush to the aid of Pinghu Mansion in Qingnan.

And just when Jingying began to get busy because of the issuance of the holy decree, a good news sent urgently from Beiling 800 miles also came to the capital.

Yan Kui, the general of the fourth product Huwei, broke the Zhou general Xue Yang in Xiaoguan ten days ago, killed more than 10,000 people, the Zhou army was defeated and retreated, and the siege of Xiaoguan ......... Untie.
