Chapter 458: The General Dare to Bear Jing
Ye Yingwu took a sip of tea and almost squirted out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Zhao Yunshu just glanced at the tea casually, and suddenly realized something. Obviously, Hui Niang, a pig teammate, put too much tea. This is Kuding tea, not the rest of Biluochun, Longjing and the like. The whole tea has been brewed into a strong green and even a little black, which is strange if it is not bitter.
"Hui Niang, this girlγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Ye Yingwu shook his head with some hatred, Qing'er, as a harem female official, has been serving the king for a long time, so naturally she will not make such a low-level mistake, Ye Yingwu can imagine the scene of Hui Niang driving the rest of the people away and rolling up her sleeves to boil water and make tea.
Zhao Yunshu could only exert a slight force in his hand, and continued to say softly: "The Tianwu Army is the team that the husband started with, and it is the team that the husband brought into Lin'an to praise the gong, and now the husband is angry if he doesn't fight well, and the concubine can naturally understand, but the husband wants to think clearly, when is it now." Although the civil strife in the Mongolian Tatars in the north was hot, there was no slackening in the prevention of the Ming Dynasty, so the main thing that Fujun could rely on was the Zhenhai Navy, the Tianwu Army and the Shence Army along the big river, especially the Tianwu Army crossing the river from Luoyang, which could be directly inserted into the Hedong Road to the northwest and swept Yanyun to the northeast, which was definitely the top priority. At this time, the change of generals even transferred the Tianwu Army to the south, which was an important blow to the entire offensive, and even affected the morale of the Shence Army and the Zhen Navy. β
"These truths are understood," Ye Yingwu obviously lost a lot of anger, and said lightly, "But with the current state of the Tianwu Army, I am really worried that even if they cross the river, they will not be able to handle the heavy task of attacking Yanyun." Three hundred years ago, Yongxi's Northern Expedition, 400,000 troops were annihilated, and only Taizong fled on a donkey; A hundred years ago, Tong Guan went on the Northern Expedition, and 200,000 elite Western troops were corpsed in the Baigou River. Why? If the Yongxi Northern Expedition can barely be attributed to the strength of the Liao State, then there is only one reason for the Tong Guan Northern Expedition, a group of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals, thinking that they can win with the Western Xia, do not take the already weak Liao army in their eyes. What is the difference between the Western Army of the year and the Tianwu Army now? The same pride, the same glory, do you want the same bones! β
Zhao Yunshu was speechless for a while, not because she didn't want to answer Ye Yingwu's question, but because Ye Yingwu said about the Yongxi Northern Expedition and the Tongguan Northern Expedition, which were all painful in the former Song Dynasty, and also the biggest shame of the Zhao family in addition to the shame of Jingkang.
Zhao Guangyi fled on a donkey, ruining the elite that Zhao Kuangyin had accumulated for many years, so that the Huanghuang Great Song Dynasty had been suppressed by the Liao State for the next hundred years, and even if it wasn't for Kou Zhun to drive north in the first battle, I am afraid that the Liao soldiers would have drunk the Great River. Under the First Battle of Tong Guan, the Western Army, which the Great Song Dynasty took as the pillar, was completely damaged, and when the Jurchens went south, the whole country was left without a fighting army, which even directly led to the shame of Jingkang.
Ye Yingwu directly tore open the scar of the former Song Dynasty, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
"When I took Da Ming Erlang and Yuema Youyan again, I didn't want to see such a tragedy happen again." Ye Yingwu said flatly, but Zhao Yunshu faintly felt that what Ye Yingwu saw in his eyes at this moment was the white bones on the bank of the Baigou River, and the unyielding veteran of Chenjia Gukou.
(Author's note: After the defeat of the Song army in Yongxi's Northern Expedition, the veteran Yang Ye led his troops to break off and died in Chenjia Gukou. οΌ
In the past 300 years, too many soldiers have shed their blood in vain, and too many families have parted with each other. Ye Yingwu would never allow such a thing to happen, so he would never allow the fall of the Tianwu Army, let alone allow the tragedy of many years ago to be repeated today.
What he wants is for thousands of troops and horses to cross the river, march on three routes, pacify Youyan in one battle, and regain this land that the Chinese Han have lost for three hundred years. Obviously, the Tianwu Army in the exercise today is far from being able to achieve such momentum.
"And what do you want to do?" Zhao Yunshu only had a deep sense of powerlessness at this moment. Although she grew up in the palace ban since she was a child and rarely went out, she was familiar with the scriptures and history on weekdays, and naturally understood the history of the Great Song Dynasty that few people were willing to mention, but as a royal family of the Zhao family, she would automatically jump over when she saw this.
And now Ye Yingwu said it directly, without the slightest cover-up, so that Zhao Yunshu's mind was disrupted, and he couldn't think of how to persuade for a while, so he simply asked Ye Yingwu's opinion.
"Although Jiang Hao is reckless by nature, he is definitely not a person who does not know what to do, not to mention that there is a cautious person like Yin Yu beside him, so I only need to wait for his reply now," Ye Yingwu put down the teacup and said lightly, "If Jiang Hao can't give a satisfactory answer, then X doesn't mind changing the commander on the spot." At present, the great enemy recognizes people without relatives and distances, even if it is a 20-year friendship, it cannot joke with the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers and more than 200,000 people in the main army of the three routes! β
Zhao Yunshu's strength in his hand was undiminished, and he silently did not answer.
"This answer, I don't know if our 'female Zhuge 'is satisfied?" Ye Yingwu is Ye Yingwu after all, and it is impossible for a person sitting on the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan to be angry all the time because of such a thing, so it is really a matter of personal stomach and ability. As the king of a country, you can be angry for a short time in the face of sudden problems, but you should still have more energy left to focus on how to solve them.
"What 'female Zhuge 'is', don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Yunshuqiao's face was slightly red.
Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand and removed Zhao Yunshu's fingers: "Liang Yanwu still has some vision and ability, but I can see that you are the best candidate to come and persuade me." But Shu'er, I still want to say, next time you want to persuade, persuade if you want to say something else, say something else, let's avoid beating your legs and rubbing your shoulders or something, you can use force for a while and be light for a while, and I don't know if you are serving people or killing people. β
"What did you say?!" Zhao Yunshu suddenly stomped his feet angrily, and was about to walk out as soon as he flicked his sleeves, but Ye Yingwu grabbed her:
"I still have no place to vent my anger, and it's better not to drink the tea made by Hui Niang. So I had to change places to vent my fire! β
"You let go of me!" Zhao Yunshu subconsciously struggled.
And the door was pushed open at this time, Hui Niang stepped in, just in time to see the two people entangled together, immediately covered her eyes skillfully, and raised the chapter in her hand: "Husband, the chapter sent by the capital, signed jointly by the Political Hall and the Emperor Taishang!" β
"If you don't come sooner or later, it's really γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» to come at this time" Ye Yingwu reluctantly stopped moving, but his arm still wrapped around Zhao Yunshu's slender waist, without the slightest intention of letting go.
Zhao Yunshu was worried for a long time, and after struggling for so long, he was already tired, leaning on Ye Yingwu's arms and panting while saying: "Husband, you better hurry up and take a look, the political affairs hall and the emperor Taishang jointly signed a letter, explaining that the result of the Nanjing rebellion case has been judged, and what to do next is very important." Also, now is the time when the husband needs the support of the army, and how to treat the Tianwu Army, the husband must also think about it. β
After a moment of silence, Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice: "Hui Niang, read it to someone." β
"Is it okay to let go of the concubine, so that others can see that the impact is not good." Zhao Yunshu reached out helplessly and pressed Ye Yingwu's arm.
"What's the bad effect," Ye Yingwu snorted, "In the harem house, I and the concubines laughed and teased, and I didn't want to declare silver in the day!" What's more, now only Hui Niang is here, you are all sisters who share the suffering, what are you afraid of. β
Zhao Yunshu rolled his eyes vividly, and could only follow him.
Hui Niang grinned, unfolded the chapter, just glanced at it, and her pretty face immediately changed color: "Husbandγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» this time Wen Xianggong and they are really ruthless." β
"What, it's really the Nine Clans?" Ye Yingwu immediately let go of his hand, ignoring Zhao Yunshu, and strode forward. He gave Wen Tianxiang all kinds of hints, that is, to ask them not to start too hard. Wen Tianxiang has been by Ye Yingwu's side for so long, he won't be unable to see through the mystery here, if he also disobeys the order, then Ye Yingwu will really be angry today.
After all, Wen Tianxiang and Jiang Hao were his well-deserved left arms and right arms.
"The first offender Wu Ge Lingchi, the first offender Zhao Yinfu Lingchi, the first offender Weng Yinglong and the first offender You Xuanfu are related to the former dynasty and Mongolia, and they will be handed over to the six doors for interrogation and then sent by His Majesty." Ye Yingwu's eyes swept over the line, and his brows were already furrowed, but when he saw that the families of the prisoners below were all "exiled" or "charged into the sect division", he was finally relieved.
Wen Tianxiang: This is to severely punish the first offender and minimize the impact on the family.
"They did it perfectly." Ye Yingwu took the chapter, read it from beginning to end, and then slowly closed it, "Once the Nine Clans are punished, too many innocents will be affected, and it will definitely not be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, who now needs labor everywhere." And for the first offender, Ling Chi, it can indeed have a similar deterrent effect as the Zhu Jiu clan. β
Ye Yingwu put the chapter on the table, slowly walked to the door, slammed the door, and looked at the sunshine outside: "The hidden nails in front have been removed, all hidden dangers have been stifled, and now is the time for a drastic reform of the civil service system." β
Glancing back at Zhao Yunshu, Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice: "As for the army, Shu'er, you can rest assured. The Ming army may be lazy and corrupt, but a certain trusts in their loyalty. As long as a certain person appears at the forefront, he can still be invincible with thousands of troops! β
Zhao Yunshu bit his lower lip slightly and nodded.
And Hui Niang was a little confused, but Ye Yingwu obviously didn't mean to explain.
Back then, Ye Yingwu fought because of a disagreement with Wang Anhe's politics, and even took Hui Niang home directly, so Ye Yingwu felt guilty about this girl, and he has also taken more care of her in the past two years, so Hui Niang is now more like a white lotus that has never experienced the cleansing of red dust, quietly blooming in the three-foot soft waves. Ye Yingwu naturally wants to make Hui Niang so simple and happy forever, and he also believes that he has the ability to take care of her and support a sky that will never collapse for her.
As for Zhao Yunshu, Ye Yingwu could only roll his eyes. This princess of the former dynasty looks elegant and stable like the folk rumors, but in fact, Ye Yingwu basically can't hide anything from her, so she simply doesn't bother to hide it, anyway, if you want to make a decision on these major matters, it is good to have someone who can discuss them at any time, not to mention that Zhao Yunshu knows his identity, so he has never tried to challenge Lu Wanyan's status, nor has he thought of contacting the former ministers of the former dynasty to echo inside and outside.
She just wanted to live a quiet life with her sister.
ββββββββββββββββββ-
The first morning light sprinkled on the eaves of the Luoyang Palace in the Ming Dynasty.
There is still morning dew on the glazed tiles, and the water droplets hang down, reflecting the colorful light.
This is already July of the first year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, and the scorching summer has gradually subsided in the Heluo area, and the wind in the north has the intention of making a comeback. The morning sky began to get darker, and the sultry heat in the morning air dissipated in the cool breeze.
When the palace gate slowly opened in the morning light, Wu Chucai, who was in charge of all matters related to today's palace patrol, was shocked by the scene in front of him.
In a flash of morning light, Jiang Hao, who was shirtless, silently knelt on one knee in front of the palace gate, just on his red back, and carried a thorn on his back, and the barbs on the thorn pierced the skin of Jiang Hao's back, and blood flowed down his back drop by drop. Especially when the shocking wound on Jing Tiao and Jiang Hao's back happened to cross, it shocked everyone who saw it, and then silently hid their faces.
Such an obvious knife wound, placed on a general, must have been suffered when rushing to kill on the battlefield. And Wu Chucai, who personally participated in the Battle of Xiangyang, is even more clear, this is when Jiang Hao led the cavalry to pursue Boyan and Zhang Hongfan, he was outflanked by the Mongolian cavalry and cut it with a knife, it is said that as long as the knife went forward an inch, Jiang Hao's backbone was cut off, becoming the first commander of the Tianwu Army to die in battle.
It can be said that this knife wound is the evidence that the soldiers of the Tianwu Army fought bravely to be the first and the Mongolian Tatars fought desperately, and it is also the evidence that Jiang Hao was able to get to this position step by step.
And beside Jiang Hao, Yin Yu, the supervisor of the Tianwu Army, was also dressed in the same way, hanging his head and kneeling on one knee. And behind the two of them, the seventy or eighty generals of the Tianwu Army who were pressed by the black pressure were not naked, but they were also shirtless and kneeling neatly.
It is impossible to come out of the gate of the palace early in the morning, and it is impossible not to attract people. Especially Luoyang has not been the capital of any dynasty for a long time, so the people of Luoyang City are far from being as strange as the people of the capital about the grievances between the court and the central government, and they are all hugging to see the excitement at this time. However, these people obviously understood who was kneeling here, so no one dared to point fingers, but they all showed unbearable meaning between their words.
"This is General Jiang of the Tianwu Army, the founder of the country, and it is said that he is still the playmate of the official family since childhood, what kind of trouble is this?" A common man couldn't help but sigh softly, "The ancients said: It is the most ruthless emperor's family. Could it be that this official family really turned against General Jiang? β
"Who doesn't understand the work of unloading the mill and killing donkeys, now that the Mongolian Tartars are out of breath, the officials have to take precautions, and they can't watch these generals become bigger." Another young scholar snorted, with a look of seeing through everything.
It's just that he was soon slapped by an old man next to him, and the old man reached out and stroked his beard: "Young people, they are not afraid of going out and breaking their feet." Throughout the ages, there have been few people who have been guilty of pleading, which shows that General Jiang really committed something that angered His Majesty. What's more, the world is not peaceful, and His Majesty has not really reached the point where the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook, and the good bow is hidden. After all, the military reform has just been implemented, and with His Majesty's eloquence and strategy, sooner or later he will have to attack the civilian system, and when the time comes, it will be indispensable for these generals who have fought on the battlefield to support the army. β
After a pause, the old man then said slowly: "Having said that, if Your Majesty wants to seize power to prevent changes, the easiest way is to learn from the previous dynasty Yizu Cup of wine to release military power, otherwise once there is a mistake, it will still be a disaster for future generations after all." β
"The old gentleman is reasonable, I am ignorant and taught!" Luoyang is the ancient capital, and the people in the city still have some quality in it, not to mention that respecting the old and loving the young has always been advocated by people in this era. Seeing that what the old man said was reasonable, the people gave their hands one after another.
And suddenly there was a drumming sound in the palace, and the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard of the brigade walked out quickly, and the steps of the soldiers in rows and columns were uniform, and the movements of lifting and falling legs were like waves rolling forward, giving people a kind of shock from the heart. The red banner was tilted forward in the hands of the first two leaders, and two teams of four columns of Praetorian Guard sergeants stood outside the palace gate.
This sudden mighty formation really surprised the people of Luoyang, who were watching the excitement, and secretly sighed that this was the first-class Janissary of the Ming Dynasty, and he deserved an extraordinary admiration. And those Luoyang Xiang soldiers who were responsible for maintaining order were even more ashamed of themselves after seeing it. (To be continued.) )
