The news that the imperial court was going to cut the Northwest Army was not hidden for long, and in fact, after the imperial meeting, almost all the officials and sons of the Jin capital knew about it. After a few days, the entire Jin capital knew.

If the imperial court wants to rebuild the Western Army, it will still be based on the reduction of the Northwest Army, which has to make some people have associations.

It has been more than 20 years since the Northwest Army monopolized Guanwai Road. It is said that Guanwai Dao is still part of the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, but in fact, for so many years in the northwest, in the eyes of some people, it has not reflected its due value to the Great Jin Dynasty.

After moving so many people over, building a lot of cities, and spending countless amounts of money and food every year, almost no one likes to hear about the northwest, except for every military report that can make the court happy.

Because in addition to reporting military exploits, the news that came back to Jindu from the northwest almost without exception was asking for money and grain. And even if it is a military achievement, it will be rewarded next. And that's not money?

The Guanwai Province was all owned by the Northwest Army, and there, the orders of the Jin capital were not so effective. The Northwest Army will listen, but whether to do it or not is definitely another matter. And if you don't do it, you can always find a reason not to do it.

These reasons are probably "you can do it, you go up" or something like that.

The orders of the central government did not work in the northwest, and the northwest always wanted this and that, and the annual tax and silver paid were pitiful, and there was simply not enough money for his personal construction. Chen Hua has to propose to Emperor Jin every year to reduce Caoyun, and it is not for nothing that he can still get the support of most people. It's just that in the past two years he has mentioned less - but definitely not without mentioning it.

Zhao Hongtai also doesn't like the northwest, because the border army of the Great Jin Dynasty is only the most powerful in the northwest to urge war horses and ordnance. And Zhao Hongtai knows that the northwest has its own horse farm and its own military factory.

In addition, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Officials all hate the Northwest to varying degrees, and even some people in the Ministry of War do not like it.

The northwest has almost no friends in the court.

So this time the cut-off of the Northwest Army made many people happy.

Why are you thankful for your clothes? Isn't there just the Northwest Army! As long as there is no Northwest Army, what are you?

-- A master of the Pillar Country who is not a real power will only be the object of ridicule.

If you can't even keep your own soldiers, what kind of general is it?

For officials with these ideas, the imperial court's reduction of the Northwest Army has a special significance.

Emperor Jin wanted to take back military power, Xie Yi fell out of favor, the northwest will no longer be the focus of policy, and the western front will be the focus for at least ten years in the future

Some people are thinking it all round.

Emperor Jin wants to collect military power, so after the Northwest Army is divided, half of the power vacuum will be formed, how to fill this vacuum? And although Emperor Jin obviously wants to shift the center of gravity to the south, then the remaining Northwest Army also needs to be restrained, and people need to play the role of a balancer, who will play this role?

And the newly built Western Army is the same.

Although many people believe that whether it is the Northwest Army after the cut, or the Western Army that will be newly built, the Jiangwutang will definitely have an excellent advantage, but before the first batch of students of the Jiangwutang come out, they can't move themselves?

Don't forget that the martial arts hall has only been built until now, and the students have not yet enrolled in the school.

Xie Yi was deprived of military power - this is an obvious thing, they have all attacked the Northwest Army, can Xie Yi'an be spared? No one felt the need for Xie Yi to continue to exist.

So is this a signal, a signal that the Xie family has fallen out of favor? Could it be that Your Majesty is going to make a move against the Xie family?

-- In the eyes of some people, the cutting of the Northwest Army is actually an attack on the Xie family.

The Northwest Army involves too many interests, especially the interests of the Xie family. Even the protégés of the Xie family are inextricably linked to the Northwest Army.

If there was no Northwest Army, the Xie family's influence would have to be removed by at least half.

And the Xie family without the old lady was not even twenty years ago.

These twenty years have been the twenty years of the Xie family, and when the old lady is dying and Xie Yi is out of power, how much strength can the Xie family have?

Some are ready to move.

Still others are already preparing to move their business to the west. It's just that some big business gangs such as Jin Shang have not taken any action for the time being.

As far as the common people are concerned, although the Northwest Army is thousands of miles away, the families of some people are in the northwest, so they are also extremely concerned.

"Ouch, it won't be because of harmony, the Northwest Army will be cut off to show sincerity, right?"

"Ignorant fool, the Northwest Army was cut because there was no need to fight again after making peace, where is the sincerity. I am a Shangbang in Dajin, and I am humble and close to him, so I can afford him, and I still need sincerity? ”

"The Western Army was established to defend against the Qin?"

"That's natural, the Qin people want to go east and get back the lost land twenty years ago."

"Why do you dare to go east? Not afraid of a backyard fire? ”

"Hmph, teach you that Xi people are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they have the kung fu to drag the Qin State back? Otherwise, the Qin State would not dare to advance eastward. ”

"When did Xi Ren happen?"

"It's a secret"

Statements like this happen every day, and there are several versions of the reasons for the reduction of the Northwest Army.

There are close to the truth, as mentioned in the above dialogue, because of the Qin people. There is also speculation that it is because of the political turmoil. Some people also say that the northwest wants to stand on its own, and Tiqi searched for a yellow robe in Shuaifu and the like.

The last conjecture is undoubtedly the most unreliable, because everyone knows that the Admiral of the Tiqi Division is the nephew of Lord Zhuguo.

If this kind of thing really exists, could it be that the Admiral has killed his relatives in righteousness? Isn't it just to rebel together?

Everyone knows that such speculation is false, but it is the most widely discussed.

People are already keen on chasing after the wind and shadows, and such a big warlord who divides one side rebels or something, it is only in the drama, how can anyone really see it? Therefore, the people are the most enthusiastic.

Some people even got out nonsense such as the dragon liver and phoenix gall bladder eaten in Xie Yi's Shuai Mansion, wearing dragon robes and phoenix crowns, and using heirloom jade seals

Xie Shence returned to the courtyard and plunged himself into a soft place, which was a down recliner sewn from Shu brocade. Jindu is getting hotter, and the small courtyard has taken ice cubes early, so it is very cool.

"Xianggong is still worried about the affairs of the Northwest Army?"

Wang Jiehua walked over, smeared a cool and refreshing ointment on his hands, and gently massaged Xie Shence's head.

He has also heard some gossip in the Jin capital, plus some young ladies and ladies who come and go on weekdays, etc., have recently had a subtle change in attitude, and with Wang Jiehua's intelligence, he can still smell a trace of unusual taste.

As for Xie Shence, she paid special attention to it. Xie Shence had any troubles at this time, so he naturally couldn't hide it from her.

"I'm afraid it's because of some nonsense in the Jindu, right? It's just some words that catch the wind and catch shadows, just ignore it, what's there to worry about? ”

Xie Shence closed his eyes, enjoyed Wang Jiehua's massage, and said: "However, you know, rumors have always been the most terrifying, some people say that the uncle has a heart of self-reliance, hehe, on the surface, no one will take it seriously, but what about turning around?" What to think behind the scenes, who knows? I'm even afraid that some people have always thought that the uncle wants to stand on his own. Including that one, hasn't he been pressing the northwest for so many years? If it weren't for the river work I wrote, I'm afraid that the transportation in the northwest would have been cut off long ago. ”

Wang Jiehua said: "The emperor's mind is the most important word for checks and balances, and he will definitely not sit idly by and watch the northwest dominate." It's really hard for him to endure it for so long. ”

The two of them said that he was naturally Emperor Jin.

"It's not embarrassing." Xie Shence said: "It's not easy to endure this time, and once it is launched, he is more excited than anyone else." His eating appearance was too ugly and suddenly launched, obviously planning for an unknown amount of time, and he had been waiting for the opportunity. And in order to wait for this opportunity, he will endure it better than anyone else. ”

Wang Jiehua smiled slightly and said, "Presumably, this time was already waiting when he was planning to unite with the Xianbei Royal Court and destroy the Duan Division. It's just that there were too many accidents in the middle, so until now, it was only launched when he was about to succeed. ”

"You're right."

Xie Shence exclaimed: "Being able to anticipate today's events a few years ago, I have to say that our Majesty is really worthy of being a peerless figure. If he wants to unify greatly, he wants to be strong, and if he wants to be strong, he wants to be weak, and he needs time to integrate internally. Unite with the royal court, suppress the Duan Department, and then make peace with the relatives, take advantage of the border without war to cut the Northwest Army to seize military power, and control the overall situation"

"You look at a series of plans, how exhaustive, it's a big deal. Although some factors have been uncontrollable in the past few years, such as Sima Bi Yanguo, and some are unexpected, such as the bandits of Taihang Mountain in Wutang, and of course me, but on the whole, his plan is smooth sailing. ”

And in the course of his plan, many problems were solved together. For example, my eldest brother and I helped him find a breakthrough to force Duan Bu to break the contract and raise troops, I integrated the Tiqi Division for him, redivided the forces of Jiangnan County, defeated the Taihang Mountain bandits, saved Hebei Province, and helped Uncle defeat the big white fish cavalry. ”

"And the most important thing is that I helped him solve the problem of rejuvenating the army, and the martial arts and martial arts can play an irreplaceable role, not only that, but I also cleared the obstacles on the way for him."

Xie Shence held Wang Jiehua's hand with one hand and said, "Now look at your husband, your second brother, isn't he very unsmart and stupid?" I've been used for so long, and I don't even notice it. ”

Wang Jiehua held that hand with both hands, put it on his face, and said, "Not at all." Xianggong has done so many amazing things, where can two words describe it? How can others have this ability? ”

Xie Shence smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid there are really not many people in Jin who think like you." At this time, they may be laughing at me, after so many years of power, it turns out that it is just a tool. After painting the peeling paint on the wall, my brush will be discarded. And the tools that are discarded can't escape a wall that everyone pushes down, falls into a well, and so on. ”

Wang Jiehua put Xie Shence's head on his lap, looked at him from above, and said, "No. Even if it's a tool, not everyone is qualified to be it. I'm not talking about learning cultural relics and art and the emperor's family, but you are indeed the only one who can change all this. I'm so proud of you. ”

Xie Shence felt the abundance and elasticity under his head, took a deep breath, looked at Wang Jiehua's face, stretched out his fingers, pressed against Wang Jiehua's small nose, and said, "Pig nose, hum~"

Wang Jiehua was enraged by his trickery, so he stretched out two fingers and said with a smile: "Xianggong~ Do you have itchy skin?" ”
