When the news that the Jiangnan Army had emptied the treasury of Qingzhou Mansion was transmitted back to Beijing, it coincided with the time of the early dynasty, so it was also discussed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The anger in the hearts of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military! Qi occupies the four prefectures, and the accumulation of decades is hoarded in Qingzhou, if it is obtained by the imperial court, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is enough to fight a battle with the Mobei Xiongnu. That's not small money, it's not. Even if the money is not their own, the courtiers of the palace are still heartbroken, jumping for it, and scolding Ji Feng for being shameless.

Ji Qiyun sat on the dragon chair, unconsciously studying the expression of his late grandfather Ji Zhong when he was on the throne. He looked at the courtiers of the palace lightly, and then he was angry? It doesn't seem necessary. At this moment, not only was he not angry, but he wanted to laugh a little.

Who doesn't want money? Who is too much? But as an emperor, his eyes can't always be fixed on silver, he has to go far, and only by putting it far away can he see all kinds of powerful things clearly and thoroughly. If this matter is more serious, the court will not suffer a loss, but will take a big advantage.

The wealth of Qingzhou was not that of the imperial court, but of the king of Qi. Now it has just flowed from the Qi Wangfu to the Wu Wangfu, what does it have to do with the imperial court? It's not his silver that is robbed, what kind of idle man is he? On the contrary, with Ji Xinqin's own stupid move, the imperial court proudly cut off a vassal king, and not only that, but also successfully classified Qidi directly into the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court. In the land of Sifu, the previous ones are gone, but the future ones belong to him Ji Qiyun, what is there to be dissatisfied with such a good thing?

At the same time, Ji Qiyun looked down on Ji Feng more and more. The dignified son, who is in charge of Jiangnan on behalf of King Wu, is so calculating, and his eyes are all on interests, what else can he see? This kind of person is not a cause for concern at all.

Ji Qiyun was in a good mood, and when His Royal Highness decreed that he would reward the victorious three armies, he would put a celebration banquet in the capital to wash the dust for Wu Xiuming, the Duke of Song State. A celebration banquet was well organized and very decent. However, after three rounds of wine, a news came from outside the palace, which made the wine glass in Ji Qiyun's hand fall to the ground with a "clang", and everyone at the banquet did not change color.

Following the King of Qi Ji Xinqin, the King of Shu Ji Mingxuan... It's the other way around!

A big victory in the imperial court quelled the rebellion of King Qi, but as long as they are in the officialdom, absolutely no one will think that Ji Xintan and Ji Mingxuan are opponents at the same level. The latter was the first vassal king of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his strength was unfathomable, and his foundation was so deep that he could not be underestimated. The geographical location of Shu is unique, Ji Mingxuan has been in it for so many years, no one knows what he is doing.

The unknown is terrifying, he is like a poisonous snake hiding in the shadows, and when he attacks, it means that he is fully prepared and the time has come.

The source of the war report was Chang'an. Just when the Qingzhou rebels attacked Hejian Mansion, Ji Mingxuan, the king of Shu, took Cao Hua as the commander, sent 100,000 troops out of Yangping Pass, and raided Hanzhong overnight. Ji Huicong, the king of Han, was unprepared and retreated in the face of the fierce Shuzhong army. Sun Lin, the general of Hanzhong stationed in Minzhouwei, received the letter and immediately gathered the garrisons around Hanzhong, together with the troops and horses of the headquarters, totaling 80,000 troops, and rushed to the rescue of Hanzhong.

Sun Lin had rushed as much as he could, but he was still one step too late. When the army set off, they got the news that Hanzhong had been broken, and the king of Han and his family all fell into the hands of Cao Hua. At this time, Sun Sun Lin was embarrassed, and he and the army behind him became ownerless and lonely souls. Fight again? Who fights? Emperor Ji Qiyun is a choice, but Hanzhong is thousands of miles away from the capital, there are many checkpoints along the way, and without the order of the imperial court, it is difficult for him to return to the capital safely with soldiers and horses.

Sun Lin immediately ordered the army to be stationed in place, and just when he was in danger, Cao Hua, the marshal of the Shu army, sent a letter of persuasion to surrender. The letter was full of rebellious remarks, and made it clear that in order to protect the family, the king of Han had surrendered and was now on his way to Chengdu. Under Cao Hua's letter of persuasion, it was a warrant from Ji Huicong, the king of Han, ordering Sun Lin to surrender to Cao Hua immediately and not to fight again.

After reading the letter, Sun Lin sighed. The master has descended, what else can he do? That night, he handed Cao Hua a drop table. So far, the entire territory of Hanzhong has been obtained by Ji Mingxuan.

It's ridiculous to say that Ji Chong, who was the crown prince at the beginning, named his second son Ming Xuan in order to show his heart to his beloved wife Han Dong, which means to declare it clearly to the public. But at the same time, why don't you have an expectation for your son? I also hope that he can be upright in the future. And this king of Shu, the first to send troops is an undeclared war, I really don't know how his parents feel when they have spirits in the sky.

After occupying Hanzhong, Ji Ming, the king of Shu, declared Sun Lin as his deputy marshal, assisted Cao Beibei's advance, and continued to command the troops and horses of his headquarters, which can be described as a great honor. At the same time, Chengdu sent another 50,000 reinforcements, together with the surrender of Hanzhong, and the Northern Expedition rebels at this time had reached a terrifying 230,000.

The army was like a bamboo, triumphant all the way, and almost bloodlessly captured Gongchang Mansion. Lanzhou, Xiningwei, Liangzhouwei and other places that had cut off contact with the imperial court heard the wind one after another. When Cao Hua's soldiers came to Chencang, everything that happened in the southwest reached the ears of Wang Ji Xinchen of Guanzhong, but at this time, the Shu army was already claimed to have 500,000 people.

Since it is claimed, it is more or less watery, but even if it is discounted, this kind of force is by no means unstoppable. Ji Xinchen is not stupid, he knows that he can't rely on himself in this matter, he has to borrow all the help he can use. He immediately wrote a memo and sent it to the capital, and at the same time immediately made an appointment to meet with the patriarchs of the major scholar clans in Guanzhong. Guanzhong is the most prosperous and prosperous area in the Great Zhou, and it must not experience war, and from this point of view, the front of the imperial court and the Guanzhong clan is unified.

All the Shi clans, including the Fang family, were fully mobilized, and once the energy that belonged to the Shi clan completely burst out, the result would be... The army of Shuzhong was unable to move in Chencang, and was blocked in a short time, and it was unable to launch an offensive against Chang'an.

That's all there is to the war report.

After reading it, Ji Qiyun "buzzed" in his head, and almost fainted. For the sake of this world, he has been waiting diligently for many years. But how long has it been? In a sense, his second emperor uncle has swallowed one-third of his world!

Anger, unwillingness, fear, and all kinds of negative emotions surfaced in Ji Qiyun's heart at the same time, making this immature Great Zhou Emperor a little unbearable for a while. The celebration banquet or something, almost unhappy, at this time, no one in the Manchu Dynasty had the leisure to eat, drink and have fun, and left one after another thoughtfully.

Ji Qiyun returned to the harem in despair, and Queen Xiang Rong knew that something was going on when she saw him. She helped Ji Qiyun sit down and made him a pot of tea, and then asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" ”

"No... It's nothing. Ji Qiyun smiled reluctantly. Fang Cai was happy, drank several times more, and now his body is a little unwell. ”

"Happy? The concubine doesn't see that you are the slightest bit happy. Xiang Rong put one hand on Ji Qiyun's shoulder and said softly: "Your Majesty, you and I are already husband and wife, husband and wife are one, don't you still treat your concubine as an outsider?" ”

"The queen is too worried, how can I be..."

"Your Majesty, although the Great Zhou ancestral system has a saying that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, the concubines are also obliged to share your worries. Big things, you and I face them together. ”

When Ji Qiyun heard this, he nodded with emotion. Then his face changed, and he said gloomily: "Empress, do you think that I am a failure?" ”

Xiang Rong was stunned. "Why did Your Majesty say that?"

"If this emperor is really good, why do those who oppose me jump out one after another? The king of Qi rebelled, and this has just quelled the chaos, the king of Shu... It's the other way around. Ji Qiyun said in a deep voice: "I admit that I have not been very comfortable with these vassal kings since I ascended the throne, and I have always tried every possible way to weaken their power and reduce their influence. I am afraid that this scene will appear in the future. After becoming the emperor, he did have the idea of cutting the feudal domain. But the conscience of heaven and earth, I just want to cut off their domains, take these places back, and put them under the unified jurisdiction of the imperial court, and I never thought of cutting off their princes, let alone harming their lives. ”

"But why?" As soon as the chatterbox opened, Ji Qiyun gushed endlessly: "What's so bad about being an idle prince? They can live a carefree life, and I can give them the best of them, and I can give them whatever they want. But in the end, there is only one thing they want, which is the dragon chair under my ass. When the imperial grandfather was here, they didn't dare to rob it, but now that the imperial grandfather is gone, how long has it been? I can't wait to jump out and bully me one by one. ”

"Queen, do you know? The king of Shu is reversed! Ji Qiyun closed his eyes painfully and muttered: "When the King of Qi sent troops to Hejian, he fought without declaring a war, and the troops went out of Yangpingguan to capture Hanzhong in one fell swoop, and incorporated the Hanzhong military horses, and then went north non-stop. Now the entire southwest of Chang'an is in the hands of the king of Shu. I am the emperor of the world... When the good birth of the nest. ”

Xiang Rong was also shocked when she heard this, she never thought that in just a short period of time, the situation would be so erosive. However, she didn't have Ji Qiyun's spare time to pity herself, her head was running quickly, and Xiang Rong immediately said: "Your Majesty, I can't complain about you." As long as there is an emperor in this world, there will never be a shortage of ambitious rebellious ministers and thieves. They have the right to choose to rebel, and the court also has the ability to make them regret their rebellion. ”

"You mean, counterinsurgency?" Ji Qiyun said dumbfoundedly.

"That's right! His Majesty should immediately issue an order to the king of Guanzhong to defend Chencang, and must not let the flames of war burn to Guanzhong. After thinking about it, she added: "If he is cowardly and surrender, Your Majesty can tell him that the army of the imperial court will arrive soon." At the same time, the Gyeonggi battalion was immediately formed, and the Song Communist Army was sent to quell the rebellion. ”

"Of course I know, but I'm afraid it's too late." Ji Qiyun shook his head irritably and said: "Shu sent troops, judging from his route of march, as well as the places of attack or surrender, I estimate that the number of Shu troops outside Chen Cang is probably no less than 300,000. Although Chen Cang lived in a dangerous place, the garrison was only 5,000. The entire Guanzhong Domain Army under Ji Xinchen was only forty or fifty thousand. Guanzhong is rich and located in the central area of the Great Zhou, and has never experienced war, so there is no need for too many garrisons at all. The disparity between the strength of the enemy and our armies is too great, and I am afraid that the formation of the Gyeonggi battalion has not yet been completed, and Guanzhong has already fallen. Once I lose Guanzhong, I will only have half of the country left, what else can I do to defeat the King of Shu? ”

"You can think of some ways to add chaos to the King of Shu, although it can't hurt his vitality, but it's okay to buy some time for the court."

"You mean?"

"Your Majesty can order King Jing and King Xiang to send troops to attack Lingzhou Mansion and Shizhou Wei, and approach Chongqing Mansion to put pressure on King Shu. Chongqing is the gateway to Chengdu, and this move will definitely allow the king of Shu to temporarily move his eyes back from Chang'an. ”

Ji Qiyun thought for a while and sighed: "The idea is a good idea, but I'm afraid that the two kings are unwilling to send troops, even if they send troops, it will be the same as the previous Jin king, sending out one or two thousand old and weak soldiers." How shrewd is the King of Shu, how can he not see it? If he saw it, it would be self-defeating, which made him more determined to take down Guanzhong first. ”

"The two kings are only one thing." Xiang Rong's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty can also order all the Tusi in Guizhou to promise rich rewards and order them to join forces to attack Xuzhou Mansion and Luzhou." The two-pronged approach can form a flanking attack on Chongqing. Even if he doesn't fight all the time, the King of Shu is afraid that he will have to be afraid of three points first. ”

Ji Qiyun still shook his head, and said helplessly: "Guizhou Tusi is only a nominal submission, I am the emperor in the capital, they are the emperor of the soil in Guizhou, they have always been free and careless, how can they be used by me?" Even if you promise a rich reward, it may not move your heart. ”

"Your Majesty is overwhelmed." Xiang Rong seemed to be confident, and said lightly: "Tongren, Changde, Liping, Chenzhou, Sinan Wufu, Shuishun, Banzhou, Guizhou, Duyun four divisions, more than 100 large and small toasts, all kinds of powerful and intricate, uneven people's hearts, frequent contradictions, the attitude of the imperial court in a sense, can create great opportunities for their development." On weekdays, they beg the court, but this time it is rare for the court to ask for them, and they can't do their best? Such opportunities do not come out of nowhere. Your Majesty can rest assured that on the day the decree arrives, Guizhou will inevitably send troops. ”

Let her say this, Ji Qiyun feels as if... It seems like... Pretty reasonable. He couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the big stone in his heart finally landed. Ji Qiyun stretched out his hand to take Xiang Rong into his arms, and said softly: "I have done it in my life, and I may do something that I regret in the future, but no matter when, I will never regret stepping into Xiang Mansion in the first place." ”

"Your Majesty."

Scold! If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for? The naïve Ji Qiyun didn't notice at all that it was a tigress curled up in his arms like a cat at the moment. He will never regret stepping into the Xiang family in the first place, and he will never regret not continuing to break the casserole at this moment.

Xiang Rong had actually figured it out very clearly, if the two military horses of Erwang and Guizhou were unreliable, she suggested to Ji Qiyun that all the 100,000 border guards who resisted the Xiongnu at the Datong border pass should be withdrawn, and she would directly raise her arms and fight with the king of Shu... If you hear this suggestion, I am afraid that Ji Qiyun will not be less frightened than the rebellion of the King of Shu. This is a country that even the country has to kill the opponent! This woman is a madman.

Ji Qiyun didn't know anything, so he was happy. The next day, several holy decrees were issued from the palace in a steady stream, and at the same time, under the auspices of Wu Xiuming, the Duke of Song, the Jingwei Command Department officially established the Gyeonggi Battalion for a period of one month, forming an army of 300,000.

King Jing and King Xiang have received a holy decree asking for troops, and some appeasement is naturally indispensable, and the letter stated that the court is in danger, and hopes that the two kings will help the court to tide over the difficulties together. These two brothers are very rare, and they can't afford to offend the court, but the problem is that the old brother of the King of Shu is not easy to mess with. Now the unlucky one is the king of Guanzhong, if they send troops and pull the army of the king of Shu back, what will they do next? What if he hits him directly to his own ground?

The two brothers were very sad and worried for a long time, although they did not meet, but they made a decision in their hearts, first put the holy decree on hold, and then see the situation. The question of standing in line cannot be careless.

On the contrary, after receiving the holy decree, the Guizhou side was extremely simple, and they only looked at the benefits. Isn't it just a war? I'm afraid of a ball! The emperor hired them as thugs, so they beat them. Under the leadership of several big toasts, each family sent representatives to hold a meeting, and according to the specific amount of rewards from the imperial court, it was evenly distributed to each family.

How much benefit can your family share? Okay, send two thousand troops. How much benefit can his family get? Less? Five hundred troops. You've got the most in your house! Yes, it's your family, and you can't run away with 3,000 troops. After some deliberation, 60,000 miscellaneous troops with different costumes, equipment, identities, and subordinates were formed.

A group of mud-legged people pounced happily on the Xuzhou Mansion. . .
