Chapter 446: A dilemma
Jin Jian smiled and said: "According to His Highness's orders, the Military Intelligence Department is divided into four departments, one department is the military intelligence stations and sub-stations of various departments, and there are fixed left-behind personnel, who are responsible for receiving information and uploading it. The second department is the spy group, they are responsible for collecting the wind, and the third department is the analysis department, after receiving the information, it is summarized, summarized, analyzed, and finally reported to His Highness is the news analyzed by the three departments. The four departments are operational personnel, responsible for using strong methods in places where it is inconvenient to collect the wind, either arresting people and forcing arches, or stealing, and even carrying out assassination missions to eliminate people who are dissatisfied with my Zhongshan Mansion and are ready to take action. This time, it was the spy personnel of the three departments who discovered the convoy, and when recruiting such personnel, we did not strictly restrict their own origins, except for the necessary loyalty training. This time, the spy was originally a habitual thief, and when the vehicle passed by, he could find out what kind of goods were carried in the carriage through many subtleties such as dust and ruts. This time, he could conclude that it was a shipment of weapons, armor, copper coins and other things, not to mention anything else, the smell alone was quite obvious. ”
Xu Zixian smiled, and first said: "It can be seen that the thieves of the chicken and the dog are indeed useful, and the story of Xinlingjun is honest and does not deceive me......" and then heard the end, his face turned solemn, and said: "There is the matter of Li Kaiming setting up the flag, and the two things are linked, which is quite obvious." ”
"That's what Your Highness said." Jin Jian said: "Li Kaiming's flag erection has a lot to do with it, but Jianzhou is now in chaos, the original Guanfeng envoys, the inspection departments everywhere, the thief capture camp, and the Jiangfang battalion have all withdrawn checkpoints, and there are many local gentry and students in Jianzhou who have left the country. Even if someone notices that something is wrong and reports to the superiors, the more Wang ignores it, it is even more impossible for those state and county citizens to take care of the matter. Except for us, most of the people here in Fuzhou are ignorant and ignorant and don't know what happened in Jianzhou. ”
Xu Zixian sighed and said: "This is also the norm in officialdom, they should now wish that Li Kaiming would recruit enough people and leave the country, but I don't know that if it were me, I would definitely start an incident in Jianzhou, a good thing that is rare in a century, how can I let it go?" ”
Whether it is a hero or a hero, observing the times, the ability and talent to determine the timing are probably the same.
"You should have reported it last night." Xu Zi looked at Jin Jian first, and said lightly: "If there is such an urgent matter next time, no matter when, where, or what kind of important matter, military intelligence espionage must be the highest priority." ”
Jin Jian looked ashamed, hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates remember." ”
Xu Zixian said hatefully: "In order to open the mansion, King Zhao really didn't even care about his ancestors."
Xu Zixian lacked recognition and respect for the ancestors of the Great Wei Dynasty, and even his great-grandfather Emperor Wenzong, but he was full of affection for the founding ancestor of the Great Wei Dynasty and the Chinese people who lived in this land endlessly.
No matter how many generations he is, Xu Zixian's body has always flowed with the blood left by the Chinese ancestors, from the spirit to the physique, he is also hated for the scum who harmed this land, disregarded the life and death of the people for his own selfish interests, and destroyed the luck of China while destroying himself.
Xu Zixian's eyes were deep, but clear and clear, he looked at Jin Jian, and said in a deep voice: "It's impossible to do anything, the convoy should have passed Nan'an at this time." ”
"Yes." Jin Jian also had a look of regret on his face, and he said: "In the second half of the night, Gao Huairen from Nan'an Town sent someone to report, and with the confirmation of the military intelligence personnel, the convoy passed through Nan'an in the middle of the night. ”
"If the report is early, I will directly send a cavalry battalion to suppress this convoy and take out the evidence and hand it over to the court for referee." Xu Zixian was faintly dissatisfied in his eyes, but he didn't mean to blame too much.
After all, last night was too special, and the candle night in the cave room was not so easy to be disturbed. If he and Chen Wenjun were intimate, the news from Jin Briefing was not so important, Xu Zixian would definitely be furious, and even had an extremely bad impression of this subordinate.
Before this, the convoy had passed through twice, because it was food, Xu Zixian's order was to be a little quiet, but last night's convoy was all weapons and armor, Jin Jian also knew that it was important, but it was too late when he came, if not, this son would definitely report it in time and wait for a decision.
"The Military Intelligence Division has worked hard and excelled enough." Xu Zi calmed down first, and said to Jin Jian: "Relevant personnel, the award of the award, the promotion of the promotion." ”
"Yes, by order of His Highness."
"This time, there is no need to convey the news, it is directly sealed."
"Yes."
Jin Jian's order to Xu Zixian was not too clear, but since the king had such an order, of course he would follow it.
After that, Xu Zixian did not give further instructions, so Jin Jian hugged his fists and said goodbye, and went to take care of the rest of the business.
Xu Zi sat in a robe first, but he fell into deep thought.
In the current situation, if you want to quickly solve and eliminate the unfavorable impact on the Fujian Road, you must quickly inform Lin Douyao and others, quickly transfer the forbidden army and the Xiang army to Jianzhou, and take the cavalry battalion and the Zhongshan army as the main force, so that you can catch the Liukou by surprise.
Thinking that Li Kaiming will also have a plan, the tens of thousands of people he has gathered now will definitely not be opponents.
It's just that the news has been revealed to such an extent, I'm afraid that a heroic figure like Li Kaiming would never have expected it...... Xu Zixian was proud in his heart, Li Kaiming was of course quite familiar with him, and it was like thunder...... In history, Li Kaiming did not start an incident in Jianzhou, but in Jingnan, and later occupied Hongdu, Xiaxiang and Deng Zhuzhou, fought several times with the forbidden army in the Central Plains, and after eliminating the forbidden army of more than 200,000 people, he did not establish a foundation in Henan and Shandong, and went north to Yanjing, destroying the Great Wei.
At this most proud and complacent moment, Donghu suddenly went south from the multi-road breach, and severely damaged Li Kaiming's main force in the area of Yiyi Shi and Jizhou, and 300,000 Li soldiers and horses were completely annihilated, of which about 80,000 were veterans who had followed him for more than ten years.
After this battle, although Li Kaiming was in Henan and Jingbei, there were still hundreds of thousands of troops in Jingnan, in fact, they were the strong people who had not been in the army for a long time, and they had no combat power. After losing most of the old battalion soldiers, including Liu Maoqi and other generals, he was cornered in Jingbei and finally died under the encirclement and suppression of the local Xiang army.
After more than ten years of hard work and struggle, when he was finally only one step away from success, he collapsed.
If it weren't for this person's involvement, even if the Northern Expedition still failed, the remnants of the Great Wei Dynasty still had more than 100,000 remnants of the forbidden army escaped, plus the soldiers and horses left in the Beijing Division of the Northwest River, there were still 450,000 forbidden troops and a million box army, which could still hold the situation of hard support.
However, there is Li Kaiming's civil strife, swept more than ten roads in a few years, with millions of people, occupying Jingnan, Jingbei, Jiangxi and half of the south of the Yangtze River, are rich and grain-producing places, it defeated the main force of the forbidden army several times in the Central Plains, the forbidden army at that time, the equipment was broken, the imperial court could not get the taxes, there was no money, and it was no longer able to equip the forbidden army, and the combat power of the forbidden army also declined sharply, but there was a fiasco in Bianzhou, more than 100,000 forbidden troops were killed and captured, more than 100,000 escaped, and this fiasco in 16 years directly made the Great Wei lose the country, and the great rivers and mountains, Sent to an alien enemy.
In all fairness, Xu Zixian, who came from later generations, despised Li Kaiming's lack of ability at most, such as failing to manage the territory well, setting up officials and officials, consolidating the rear, and then selecting generals and talents, building and training troops, building more armor and weapons, and attaching importance to the great enemy of Donghu, rather than only staring at the Great Wei court.
If it does this, after defeating the main force of the imperial court in the Central Plains, it is not in a hurry to go north and destroy the border defense that is still complete in the north, but to go down to Jiangling, to get an important wealth and political, cultural and educational center in the south of the Yangtze River, and then to go down to Zhejiang and Fujian, and to get the southeast, the poor land of Yunnan and Guizhou can be ignored for the time being, and then go down to Liangguang, Sichuan, and the land of Guanzhong in one place, to do these things, it is nothing more than two years of hard work, the Great Wei should be able to support in the north, even if it can't hold on, it is also to use the remnants of the Great Wei to consume the invading Donghu, For Li Kaiming, it is a good thing to get two pennies.
Li Kaiming originally had the opportunity to do such a thing, and there were no powerful forces in the south at that time, only the father and son of King Zhao in Fujian, and the rats who guarded the house.
Two years later, with the entire south, the power of Guanzhong, at that time from northern Shaanxi to Hedong, Huaishang to Shandong, northern Anhui to the Central Plains, multi-way northern expedition, in one fell swoop to destroy Wei is not a problem, the remnants of the Great Wei force along the Great Wall border towns stationed, it is likely to directly look at the wind and fall, for its direct management to accept, if the Great Wall of the border of the important military town fortress and other defense systems to receive, stick to the border pass, even if the Donghu desperate people come, it is great to fight a bad war in the north, Donghu can not get the support of the border defense, its logistics can not rely on looting to satisfy, After a certain time limit, they can only withdraw from the army.
A few years later, hundreds of thousands of cutting-edge troops will take the initiative to attack along the border, and they can even switch out and go straight to the old Jinzhou, Yingzhou and restore the old frontier of the Han and Tang dynasties, and there is no difficulty at all.
At that time, Donghu would be trapped in soldiers and lack of people, confidence was greatly frustrated, and without the support of the new annexed army of the traitors in the Central Plains, with only its national strength and military strength, it was defeated in several fierce battles, and it was about to die.
In a good situation, if Xu Zixian takes the lead, it will be implemented in this way, without hurry, without giving the enemy any chance.
Li Kaiming's mistakes were twofold, one was that he relied too much on the township party and refused to trust the southerners, including a large number of subordinates attached to Jingbei and Jingnan.
This led to the fact that almost all of the generals under his subordinates were Qinfeng passers-by, and they were eager to return to the north as soon as possible, enter Guanzhong, return to their hometowns in fine clothes, and glorify their ancestors.
These people never thought that if the great cause failed, they would return to their hometown early, but it would only affect the clan and relatives, causing the local suffering, which would simply harm others!
There is another one, which has never been recognized by the scholars and gentry, and its reckless background and poor management have caused the gentry and scholars to never cooperate with it, which is also due to their lack of water grinding efforts to govern the local area and their administrative methods are quite careless.
In these two cases, Xu Zixian will not make the same and similar mistakes.
In his previous life, as a prince of the clan, Xu Zixian naturally hated Li Kaiming, who crisscrossed all roads and destroyed the Great Wei.
Without this person, even if the Great Wei had the defeat of the Northern Expedition, it would still be able to survive, and the losses of Donghu would also be large, and the war potential would be far below that of Great Wei.
This is also the practice of nomadic and fishermen, who rise quickly and attack sharply, but they do not last.
However, the current Xu Zixian also has some understanding and tolerance for Li Kaiming and others, and even this tolerance is still above King Zhao. King Zhao and others are internal scum, doing whatever it takes for their rights, even the world is boiling, the people's wives are separated, the family is ruined, and even the Chinese civilization is cut off, as long as it succeeds for their selfish interests, they can do whatever it takes.
And Li Kaiming and others are trying to survive in the dead, this is the case in the northwest and Jingnan, in order to accumulate wealth, the imperial court indulges and watches local officials increase taxes layer by layer, as long as each local official is willing to be cheeky, he can have a lot of money, how many officials are there in the state capitals and counties in the world, how many officials, everyone is rich and flowing, Kong He is such an ethical official, it is really rare, and it is not allowed to be colleagues.
Even if Yang Shiwei and Zheng Liqi are incorruptible, they only take the rules, and do not take the initiative to take bribes, or reach out to take money that should not be taken.
And most of the officials, the usual gray income can no longer satisfy them, although not as excessive as Wang Yue, but clever robbery, bribes, when the official resigns, the eunuch bag is full, this has become the norm.
Therefore, the people are extremely poor, it is already quite difficult to meet the national endowment, and then there are all kinds of miscellaneous taxes and miscellaneous taxes that have been increased layer by layer, although Li Kaiming's generation has been rampant for thousands of miles, causing disasters for a while, and even cutting off the Chinese civilization, but does it make him endure all the time and be a cow and a horse?
Now the convoy has been sent to Jianzhou, and it can't be stopped...... For now, there are two trade-offs.
One is to use the original garrison of Nan'an plus the cavalry battalion, and more than 800 government troops immediately went to raid Jianzhou.
Xu Zixian felt that Li Kaiming's foothold was unstable now, the weapons and armor might not have been issued, and his core subordinates were less than 2,000 people, and the combat power of the Liukou had always been higher than that of the Xiang army and lower than that of the forbidden army, and it should be far below the Zhongshan army.
If the cavalry battalion is raided, the effectiveness will be more obvious, and it is estimated that under the combination, the thieves, the miners who have just been attached, and the army of displaced people will be scattered.
However, in terms of Li Kaiming's experience and ability, can he be wary of the Zhongshan Army?
Standing in the mountains, layer upon layer, the depth of defense is dominated by the old battalion soldiers and miners, with the winding mountain roads and camps to defend, Xu Zixian's sneak attack may be fruitless, and even the soldiers will return.
For Xu Zixian, who has always been invincible and invincible, a defeat is enough to destroy the invincible image he has accumulated before, for the court and the locality, the first choice to defend the southeast is Xu Zixian, and it is also because of his invincible record of winning a hundred battles.
And if you sit back and ignore it, let Li Kaiming sit big, it is also against Xu Zixian's original intention.
If Jianzhou is in chaos, it may be more than just Jianzhou, and even Li Kaiming will be difficult to suppress in the future, and he will once again subvert and destroy the Great Wei Dynasty as in history.
Between the two dilemmas, it is really difficult to choose!
When she was groaning, she saw Chen Wenjun coming in a light red skirt, although she tossed in the middle of the night, Xu Zixian ordered her to get up late, but as a lady for everyone, how could Chen Wenjun tolerate sleeping until three o'clock in the sun and then getting up? Even if there are no elders in the mansion, it will be spread to make people laugh that there is no tutor in the Wenhou Mansion of Changchang!
Fortunately, she didn't have to dress up by herself, so after getting up, she had been groomed under the service of many maids and servants, her hair was meticulous, and on the bun, there was only a small and delicate jade hairpin, and there was no extra gold and silver decoration on her body and wrists.
Moreover, Chen Wenjun's robe is a brocade robe produced in Jiangling, the embroidery method is extremely complicated and difficult, and the materials are exquisite.
Seeing the Yiren coming, Xu Zixian's heart was full of joy.
Even if he is not newly married, he and Chen Wenjun are also familiar with each other, and they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts in two lifetimes! In the previous life, I was more like friends, returning letters, talking about my heart, experience, what I saw and heard, military, political, economic, people's livelihood, and clan contradictions, etc., all of which were discussed.
At that time, Xu Zixian was still down, he was able to receive Chen Wenjun's letter, read it under the lamp, and when he saw it and smiled, it was the happiest time of the day.
In this life, they have become husband and wife, and they get what they want, and the cordiality and familiarity, as well as the feeling of love, are really rich and inseparable.
Chen Wenjun's face was a little shy, and her daughter's family was always like this when she was newly married. However, she also saw the love and pity in Xu Zixian's eyes, and her originally shy face also disappeared a lot, revealing a rather happy little daughter's demeanor.
In any case, she was only a seventeen-year-old girl now, and her mind was not as miserable and calm as it was before her death in her previous life.
Those things were obtained after a lot of suffering, Xu Zixian in this life and this life, he would never let Chen Wenjun suffer the same suffering as in his previous life.
"Didn't you mean to rest more?" Xu Zi first took the girl into his arms, felt the other party's soft body, smelled the fragrance of the girl's body, and his mood became relaxed and happy.
"How can anyone sleep until the hour can't afford to die?" Chen Wenjun smiled lightly and said: "If I am in the house, I will call my father, and my mother will know, and the management and security will call me over and train me hard." ”
The ladies of this year are not like in the film and television dramas of later generations, their fathers love their mothers, lose their temper at every turn, and play petty, but they are very strictly controlled, studying, learning to be popular, watching women, practicing arithmetic, and even cooking, and they must be prepared for the future marriage, and fully control everything in the husband's family.
It cannot be ruled out that there are some people who are born with a bad temper, such as Dugu, the wife of Emperor Wen of Sui, who is also a lady of the family, who is born with a violent temper and controls Emperor Wen of Sui very strictly, even to the point that the old man is in pain.
But it was a family of military generals who were born in the six towns of Xianbei, and the daughters of the Dugu family were all raised like men, learning swords, riding and shooting, and serving as a servant by military law.
"We shouldn't stay in this house for long." Xu Zixian muttered: "Originally, I said that I would leave tomorrow, but there were some changes, so it was best to leave in the afternoon." ”
Seeing Chen Wenjun looking over with inquiring eyes, Xu Zixian smiled slightly bitterly, and still told the Yiren in his arms what was going on a little simplified.
This matter can't be concealed for a few days, after Li Kaiming gets a large amount of weapons, armor and money, plus sufficient food and grass, and complete personnel, there will be some action in a few days, and it will definitely make a big move.
At that time, the entire Fujian Road will be alarmed, Yizhong in his arms is his wife, and he will share honor and disgrace in his life, of course, there is no need to hide the time of these few days.
Of course, Chen Wenjun was frightened at first, and then said angrily: "His Royal Highness King Zhao, Xu Ziwen, Li Gu and others, are really Li Lingzhi, so Li Kaiming crisscrosses the Central Plains, Shandong, Hedong, Qinfeng and other roads, how difficult is it to fight bravely, but they can involve and suppress this generation?" I don't know what to do. ”
Chen Wenjun is a beautiful lady, looking at the copy, and understanding the changes in the general trend of some countries is also a must-do homework. It's just that some people are smart, such as Chen Wenjun, who also knows the general trend. In her previous life, when she corresponded with Xu Zixian, she was often worried, and in the palace of King Zhao, she had a complete understanding of the reality of King Zhao, Xu Ziwei, Xu Ziwen and other generations.
In this world, Chen Wenjun also has a low opinion of the Zhao Wangfu, which shows that this is the unanimous evaluation of the gentry of Fujian Road, including the Changwen Marquis Mansion, to the father and son of Zhao Wang.
