Chapter 413: Defeat Nan Chu
The first month of the first year of Yongguang
The new emperor Kaiyuan ushered in the suppression of the rebellion, and the henchmen of the original Duanwang party took the opportunity to take a walk on the remarks of the Mandate of Heaven in Emperor Yongguang, which caused a great storm in Shilin and the people, and Emperor Yongguang's prestige soared.
With this shareholder trend, Emperor Yongguang successively won several important ministers who were close to King Jing before, vigorously supported his henchmen to ascend to the throne, and further controlled the power of the court.
At the end of the first month, Di Yi and Yan Kui, who had resolved the follow-up war, returned to the capital, and Emperor Yongguang personally went out of the capital to greet them.
The next day, an order was issued to reward the meritorious officials who had made meritorious contributions to the suppression of the rebellion.
Among them, King Yan Kuiqin rescued, galloped thousands of miles to help, went through the war, exterminated the rebels, and made the first contribution to this campaign, and promoted him to the right general and the border army pacification envoy, in charge of the military and political affairs of the three frontier governments.
The second-grade military boss who is less than 30 years old, Yan Kui is the first since the founding of the Northern Jin Dynasty.
When the news came out, the whole country was shocked!
But no one dared to object. First, Yan Kui's own merits are there, and the new emperor of the two obviously wants to support newcomers to take the position and enhance their voice in the military.
At this time, Yan Kui and Emperor Yongguang will hate themselves to death, and fools don't dare to play like this.
…………
Yan Kui's reward was extremely high, and Di Yi, the general who also made great contributions, was not far behind.
Whether it was Emperor Liyang's serious illness and Di Yi's support for Emperor Yongguang's ascension to the throne, or King Jing's firm support and personal outing to fight after the rebellion, Emperor Yongguang was quite grateful to Di Yi for what he did.
In Emperor Yongguang's heart, Di Yi can now be said to be the most trustworthy person in the military besides Yan Kui.
Di Yi, who had made meritorious contributions to the suppression of the rebellion, was named the Duke of Yanguo, hereditary for three generations, and his four sons each had a reward.
Yan Kui and Di Yi were rewarded very heavily, and Han Jing, the general of Zuo, who also raised troops to attack King Jing, did not get much reward, and Emperor Yongguang gave him some empty titles, looking at the flowers, in fact, there was no benefit at all.
As soon as this move came out, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Emperor Yongguang was quite dissatisfied with Han Jing's hesitation when he sent troops at that time, so he deliberately beat him.
Han Jing probably also understood that he didn't cry out when he saw his fate, but instead sent his son to the capital to show his loyalty.
He played this trick well, and Emperor Yongguang did not continue to attack him, but pointed the finger at the commander of the forbidden army, the Thai prince Huang Guanna.
The new emperor was ruthless, and if he didn't hold the power of the forbidden army in his hands for a day, he couldn't sleep for a day............
At that time, the Northern Jin Dynasty is now the head of the seven major armies of the military, the former general is vacant, the general Di Yi, the right general Yan Kui, and the Jiumen Admiral Shui Miao are staunch royalists, and the later general Peng Kuohai is old and frail, and gradually retreats to the second line, and the left general Han Jing shrinks his head to be a man.
Therefore, Huang Zhou, who had colluded with King Jing before and was in charge of the forbidden army, became the only thorn in the eye of the new emperor among the seven giants.
…………
The new emperor aimed at it, if Huang Zhou knew that the current affairs were handsome, and honestly handed over the military power, although the power was no longer there, he could also get the lives of the family.
But Huang Zhou couldn't see through the power of Hongchen, he was nostalgic for military power, and even deliberately colluded with the loyal king, the palace changed to kill the king, and pushed the loyal king to the throne.
Originally, Huang Zhou's plan was quite thorough, and it may not be impossible to succeed, but what he didn't expect was that the loyal king he chose was a straw bag with gold and jade.
When Emperor Liyang was in power, King Zhong shouted five and drank six, the scenery was infinite, and he still wanted to die and die, looking ambitious, but in fact, he didn't have any courage at all.
At the critical moment, King Zhong was instigated and directly betrayed Huang Zhou to Emperor Yongguang.
Emperor Yongguang made a plan and set a trap for Huang Zhou, and directly captured Huang Zhou who planned to lead the army palace to change, Huang Zhou's whole family was killed, King Zhong was demoted to the king of the county, and the fief fell by fifty percent.
This is still protected by the Empress Dowager Kong, otherwise the new emperor, who is not in harmony with this uncle, will not be able to directly abolish the loyal king.
…………
After taking Huang Zhou, the new emperor had already mastered the military, and then he opened his knife to the civil officials of the court.
Just when Emperor Yongguang was busy fighting for power and profit, and cultivating his own people in the court, Yan Kui, who returned to the border, was not idle, and without Qi He as an elbow, he was the dominant family in the frontier, and soon began his own rectification.
It took him more than half a year to fill the entire border army framework with systematic soldiers, ensuring the loyalty of 300,000 border troops, and then began to ask Emperor Yongguang for orders to send troops to attack the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Emperor Yongguang had just ascended the throne, and he had put down rebellions one after another, and the loss of national strength was serious, so he was unwilling to lightly start his sword soldiers, so he refuted Yan Kui's request.
However, less than half a month after Emperor Yongguang rejected Yan Kui's request, the grandson of the Southern Chu Emperor did not know what hysteria he had, and he actually raised 300,000 troops to attack Qingnan.
Originally, the general of the Northern Jin Dynasty stationed in Gyeongnam was Sha Qianying, and after Sha Qianying's death, the imperial court had always let several generals guard here, and did not send giant-level figures to command.
This time, Nanchu attacked, and the situation in Gyeongnam was tense, and Emperor Yongguang immediately wanted to send people to Gyeongnam to meet the enemy.
However, as I said before, now after many purges, there are only a few military giants in the Northern Jin Dynasty.
Han Jing didn't listen to the announcement, and Emperor Yongguang couldn't believe him.
Peng Kuohai's qualifications are enough, but the old man is over seventy years old, and he has been severely poisoned before, and his health is not very good, so it is enough to lead the troops to fight.
And Shui Miao has not been the Admiral of Jiumen for a long time, and he is sorting out the relationship between Beijing and Ying, and as the henchman who has been with the new emperor for the longest time, Emperor Yongguang does not want him to leave the capital to guard.
These few are not suitable, and the remaining candidates are only the generals Di Yi and Yan Kui.
Emperor Yongguang originally planned to let Di Yi go out, but then he thought that Di Yi was now the head of the country and the general, and he went out to fight and made meritorious contributions, and he had nothing to reward.
So, Emperor Yongguang made a slightly stupid move in the eyes of outsiders, he asked Di Yi to go to the frontier to sit in the town, and then transferred Yan Kui to Qingnan to face the battle.
Yan Kui has been deeply involved in the frontier for several years, but he is not familiar with Qingnan, and he rashly let him go before the war, which can be described as a taboo for soldiers.
But Emperor Yongguang still insisted on this, and in desperation, Yan Kui had to take 30,000 horses from his headquarters to Qingnan from the frontier.
In the second year of Yongguang, the first month
Yan Kui came to Qingnan, took over the military power of Qingnan, and after a little rectification, he fought hard with the grandson of the emperor of Southern Chu.
In the battle, Yan Kui won a complete victory, especially the 30,000 cavalry he brought from the frontier, which made the Southern Chu soldiers suffer a lot.
The grandson of the Southern Chu Emperor thought that he was not Yan Kui's opponent in land warfare, so he attacked from the waterway instead, but he didn't want to hit Yan Kui's mind, Yan Kui used the celestial card that the system could change the weather, change the direction of the wind, and attack the Chu army with fire.
The wind borrowed the fire, the fire soared to the sky, the Chu army was defeated, the army of 300,000 was exhausted, and the emperor himself was almost captured.
In this battle, Yan Kui was a blockbuster, and suddenly became one of the top generals and famous commanders in the Three Kingdoms.
