Chapter 234: Surprise
Xie Shang commented on Li Weiting's three strategies, and also believed that once the war started, it would be best to hold on to it in order to maintain the balance of the war situation and not let the war escalate.
Emperor Jin then agreed.
However, the will of two or three people does not speak for everyone.
Gao Gao Han said: "Lord Xie's words are wrong. The Qin army is menacing, and if it can't defeat its spirit in a battle, it will definitely become more and more powerful. If you can't hold on, as long as you let the Qin army taste its benefits, it will inevitably launch a more fierce offensive. Then it will be a national war. Once the momentum of the national war starts, money, grain, horses, equipment, and people must be counted, and Lord Xie, as the left servant of the household department, how can he not know that the treasury of my Great Jin has been empty in recent years? Who has the strength to fight another national war like he did twenty years ago? Lord Xie doesn't know about military affairs, just take care of his own one-third of an acre, don't talk nonsense. It's okay to talk nonsense, but don't blind Your Majesty. Military affairs, how can it be child's play! ”
Xie Sheng smiled slightly when he heard this, and then fell silent.
Xie Sheng didn't react, but the Minister of Central Health in the imperial study did. Gao Han's words pointed directly at Xie Shang, insinuating that Xie Shang's vain words confuse and deceive the saints, and he is a traitorous villain. said this in front of Emperor Jin in the imperial study, but it was much harsher and more insidious than pointing his nose and scolding Xie Sheng "XXX" outside, and Gao Han didn't give any face.
Xie Sheng just smiled faintly, and everyone only regarded Xie Sheng as always low-key. Gao Han's move was just to vent the slap he was given by Xie Sheng last year.
(It was Lin Lingsi who took the lead in impeaching Xie Shence for flooding Zhou County.) Gao Gao Han was the most powerful one to impeach Xie Shence at the beginning, but he was hit by a letter sent by Xie Shence read out by Emperor Jin in the current dynasty, so he was ashamed and humiliated. )
After Gao Gao Han finished speaking, Li Weiting said: "Gao Shangshu, you said that Lord Xie doesn't know about military affairs, don't talk nonsense. Then the general dared to ask, are you familiar with military affairs? Lord Xie has a brother who can fight, and he can always have some skills, who in your Gao family is the commander in charge of the field? Let Lord Xie take care of his own one-third of an acre...... Dare to ask Gao Shangshu, is it anyone's one-third of an acre of land? Gao Shangshu, if you say that others are lying about it, you will eventually think that you are the one who lies about it, right? ”
Gao Han snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! It seems that General Li is not only able to fight and know the affairs of the army, but also good at words. Hmph, since you are a general, then let me ask you, what is the most important thing in a war? It is the supply of food and grass, the morale of the soldiers, and the courage to dare to kill the enemy! Which of these things is not what I lack now? If you don't take advantage of the enemy's foothold, do you have to wait until the enemy is fully prepared before going to fight hard? ”
Gao Han threw off his sleeves and looked at Li Weiting and Xie Sheng with a sneer.
At this time, Zheng Keming also said: "What Gao Shangshu said is reasonable. Your Majesty, the minister thinks that whether it is to take the initiative to attack or lure the enemy deeper, it is much more clever than not being able to hold out. First, holding on to it will shake the hearts of our army, and it will not be able to give full play to the combat power of our army, achieve the goal of annihilating the enemy in the opposition, and minimize the battle losses of our Great Jin. Second, taking the initiative is the best way to boost the morale of my Dajin. Not to mention that Xie Shuai can lead the battle situation without worry, just in terms of momentum, when will my Dajin be weak to others? So the minister thinks that since he wants to fight, he will fight with dignity! Hit the momentum! Hit the majesty! Make a peace! ”
Zheng Keming's words were sonorous and powerful, and they immediately caused a burst of echo.
Zheng Keming smiled slightly.
As long as the opinions of most officials can be unified, no matter how strong the Jin Emperor is, he can no longer blindly dictate and dictate, after all, the Jin State can only gain greater power by relying on the support of more people.
Chen Hua, the head of the household, said at this time: "Zheng Shangshu, when it comes to money and food, I know something. The treasury of the Great Jin Dynasty, as well as the grain and silver money stored in Hubei Province, Shanxi Province, and Huaiyang Province, can still support a period of time, and it is not impossible to talk about a long-term war. Whether to fight or not depends on His Majesty's decision, and how to fight is Xie Shuai's business. There is a way that the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the infestation of fighters is only in an instant, whether it is to hold out or the enemy is in the field, where can we expect it one by one? A few of them still have to dissipate their anger and be calm before they can think of a solution to the problem. ”
Chen Hua snorted, calmed down the anger of both sides, and then said, "Your Majesty, the ministers implore Your Majesty to call the shots." ”
So a group of ministers all bent down and arched their hands: "I implore Your Majesty to call the shots." ”
Emperor Jin sat in front of the bookcase, looking at the crowd bending down and shouting, and a sense of disgust appeared in his heart.
Why is it that when it comes to the critical moment, few people can make up their own minds? These people now know how to compete for favor and power, jumping between their two sons. If the new monarch succeeds to the throne and can't suppress them, then they can't quarrel in the event of an incident? There is no person as virtuous as Yiyin Zhou Gong who can entrust him with peace of mind to the people who are behind him...... Thinking of this, Emperor Jin couldn't help but think of his teacher, the old lady, and when he thought of the old lady Fu Emperor Jin saw the inconspicuous Xie Sheng in the crowd, and then thought of Xie Shang's son Xie Shence.
Now...... I'm afraid he's already in Jincheng.
Emperor Jin looked at the minister in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little distracted.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this matter can not be resolved in a moment, even if I am thousands of miles away, I cannot predict the war situation by imagination and then intervene in the war. I have already ordered Xie Yi to act cheaply, since this is the case, then I can only trust Xie Shuai. We are waiting in the rear, and ensuring the supply of the front line is the top priority. ”
Since Emperor Jin had ordered Xie Yi to act cheaply, everyone knew that it was useless to say more, so under the leadership of Zheng Keming, they all said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise." ”
Zheng Keming was secretly annoyed in his heart: it was still a step too late. But then he was relieved, after all, the speed of Ti Qi was faster than his own channel, but fortunately, he still had a backhand......
Zheng Keming said loudly: "Since the war between the northwest and the western front can be presided over by Xie Shuai, then we will naturally do our best to ensure the supply of military supplies." In this way, only the matter of the chaotic people remains undecided. The minister dares to ask Your Majesty, this civil unrest ...... What should I do? ”
At this time, a little eunuch came into the imperial study, and when everyone saw it, it turned out to be the little eunuch Feng Cao next to Grandpa Feng, and everyone hurriedly turned sideways to give way. Feng Cao hurriedly walked to Emperor Jin's side, then bowed his head and bent down to hand over a letter to Emperor Jin, and then went down again.
Everyone looked at the letter, and they didn't know what kind of important letter it was, but it could still be sent in when the imperial study was deliberating. Everyone was puzzled, and even Zheng Keming's questioning ignored the past.
Emperor Jin also ignored Zheng Keming's question, cut the envelope, Emperor Jin took out a thin piece of stationery, just glanced at it a few times, and then smiled.
"Hahahaha......"
Emperor Jin laughed, very happy.
Zheng Keming had a bad premonition in his heart.
When Emperor Jin finished laughing, Zheng Keming asked, "Why is Your Majesty laughing?" Is there good news? ”
Emperor Jin coughed twice, and then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have indeed received good news, and there is more than one. ”
"The Shandong horse bandits have agreed to the conditions of the imperial court and promised to exterminate the rebellious people."
After Emperor Jin finished speaking, everyone exclaimed.
When was this? Didn't you just bring it up? Isn't it undecided?
Without waiting for everyone to calm down, Emperor Jin said again: "Huaiyang Dao has made a gesture, on the one hand, it has transported 200,000 stone of grain to the north to support the imperial court to fight a battle on the western front, and on the other hand, 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 Modao troops have already crossed the Yangtze River, gone south to Jiangnan County, and joined the Taihu Lake Water Division. ”
The crowd was in an uproar again.
It's too fast.
Some of the things that were still being discussed just now have already got the results! It's so fast!
The Shandong horse bandits agreed to act as mercenaries of the imperial court, and with their cooperation with the Shandong government soldiers, the civil unrest in Shandong Province would definitely not be able to stir up much storm, and the collapse would only be in an instant.
Huaiyangdao's reaction speed was also unexpected. 200,000 stone grain, Huaiyang Dao is currently difficult to take out, but since it has been taken out, it must be the support of the Wang family. Moreover, the cavalry and the Modao Army went south and joined the Taihu Water Division, the purpose was obvious, with the Chuzhou Huai Army Battalion, they could launch an attack on the Southern Song Dynasty from two different directions at any time. If there is no accident in the Southern Song Dynasty, it should soon show timidity. Even if the envoy enters Beijing, it will not have any impact on the Great Jin Dynasty, not to mention continuing to ask for a reduction in the annual coin, I am afraid that the purpose will have to be changed to peace talks to request the withdrawal of Huaiyangdao.
In this way, two of the major problems that plagued Dajin have been removed.
No, it's two and a half. The grain of Huaiyang Road is already on the way, and even if the Western Front is fought, with the support of the Wang family's financial resources, it can be supported for a long time.
Everyone was shocked in their hearts, could it be that Emperor Jin had already expected everything, and then made arrangements in advance?
Some people have already seen the suit of armor in the inconspicuous corner of the imperial study, and the double-edged iron halberd standing next to the armor, shining with cold light......
Someone shuddered inexplicably.
There were many doubts, surprises and fears in everyone's hearts, and Zheng Keming's heart set off a huge wave.
Emperor Jin just inadvertently broke the good situation of his arrangement, and there must be a hidden secret.
Could it be that there are no spies on his own side?
No, no, the people on my side are grasshoppers on a rope, and it is impossible to defect, so the problem is naturally on that side.
Suddenly, Zheng Keming thought of something, and a layer of cold sweat broke out behind his back.
Ti Cavalry ...... I forgot about the Knights.
Ti Cavalry ...... What about the Admiral?!
Zheng Keming roared in his heart.
What about thanks?
I haven't heard any news from Xie Shence for half a month!
Where did he go?
Did he do it?
Impossible! What can you do in half a month?
Do they travel back and forth every day?
If he couldn't, if he did it, how did he do it?
As soon as he thought of this, Zheng Keming broke out in a cold sweat behind his back.
No...... I had expected it for a long time, and then ...... Do it, right?
No, it's impossible, how is it possible?
If you are not a god, how can you be a prophet?
Zheng Keming said to himself. Yes, it is impossible, it must be impossible......
After Zheng Keming asked himself, he suddenly felt a burst of collapse.
Emperor Jin was immersed in joy, as if he did not notice Zheng Keming's abnormality.
In July, Jindu is a big furnace, and even if there are several buckets of ice placed in the imperial study, it is cool and refreshing compared to the outside. So Zheng Keming's forehead is dry even in addition to a cold sweat.
The material of the clothes is high-grade Yunjin, which is not wet, but fortunately, I am still wearing underwear inside......
