Chapter 425: The Day of the Beginning
"I want to ride lightly and take Jincheng directly, what does Zhen Qing think?"
"Your Majesty, the weather is cold, it is extremely difficult for the army to attack, and the wind and snow are so heavy that I am afraid that this matter will be even more difficult." Zhen Huairang said respectfully, "According to the minister's opinion, it is better to first collect the land ceded by the king of Silla, the border of Chen soldiers, and wait until next spring to capture Jincheng." ”
"So I don't have to do anything this winter?"
"Your Majesty, at this time, the king of Silla has taken precautions, if he takes Jincheng directly, I am afraid that it will inevitably be a hard battle, but Chen Bing does not do it, the people in the Silla Wangcheng have changed their minds, and there will definitely be people who will come to vote, and it will be easy to collect Jincheng when the time comes."
Li Jing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "What Zhen Qing said is not unreasonable, but how can my army of more than 100,000 people consume grain and straw for months without making progress?" Today, Zhen Qing came to vote, I let go of the people of Goguryeo's hometown, and when the army reached the border, I would not take Jincheng, I would plunder all parts of Silla, and when the spring was warm, Jincheng would become a lonely city, and then I would uproot it in one fell swoop! ”
Zhen Huairang's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I'm just afraid that the killing will be too heavy......"
"If you don't kill, how can you be powerful? Aliens are cheap bones, and I've long understood that. Li Jing waved his hand and laughed, "Since the king of Silla resists the heavenly soldiers, why don't I kill the two governors of Xiongjin and Jilin Prefecture!" The matter was so decided, first collect the land ceded by the king of Silla, and then send troops to sweep all over the place, leaving only a lonely city for the king of Silla, haha! ”
"Your Majesty is mighty!" Several ministers drank at the same time.
Zhen Huairang sighed in his heart, and didn't dare to say anything more. He kept his family and the people of Silla's homeland. It's already a great merit. The New Ones. Where to dare to say too much.
Li Chao, Chen Zhao and others like to make sycophants, but they are not useless, they are all good at handling affairs, and soon the specific details were drawn up, and after being handed over to Li Jing to see, Li Jing was also extremely satisfied.
The heavy snow did not stop until midnight, and the next morning the vision was white. There was a foot of snow on the ground, because it had not yet been civilized. It doesn't look so muddy.
Zhen Huairang came to invest and brought a large area of Goguryeo's hometown, and these territories ceded by the Silla king Kim Famin actually occupied nearly half of the territory of Silla. Obviously, Li Jing's fierce reputation in Liaodong in recent years has made the Silla monarchs and ministers frightened, so he made such a choice.
With Zhen Huairang, the leading party, the resistance of the army to the south will be greatly reduced, at least to the border. Li Jing walked in the front with his ministers, and tens of thousands of Han cavalry walked out of the barracks in the deep snow and slowly galloped towards the south. After the army, there was no snow at all, only black mud.
Collect the land ceded by the king of Silla first. Then send troops to sweep the south of the border, eradicate all forces loyal to the king of Silla, according to Ma Renjie's model in the Great Eclipse, once the resistance is encountered, the city will be slaughtered, this is the plan in the heart of Li Jing, the son of the Guardian Emperor. The envoy sent to Moxi had not yet returned, and he did not wait any longer, preparing to eliminate the potential threat of the king of Silla first.
"I didn't expect Ma Renjie to be above the medical Tao, and he is actually quite accomplished!"
In Yuanzhou City, Zhang Xun, the right minister of the Tang Dynasty, drank the bitter medicinal juice, gently put the porcelain bowl on the table, and sighed softly.
It has been a few days since the Lanzhou meeting, and there is no expensive medicine on the prescription prescribed by Ma Lan, and Zhang Xun began to take medicine when he left Lanzhou, and now he has not vomited blood for two days.
His condition has improved a lot, but the man who brought him into the center of power in the Tang Dynasty is even more incomprehensible.
originally thought that he was going to die, but he didn't expect Ma Renjie to solve the problem with a prescription. The so-called running out of oil and drying up is just his own imagination, it turns out that he vomits blood every day, but there is a problem with his stomach.
No one wants to die casually, and Zhang Xun is the same, and the situation in Datang today makes him unable to die with peace of mind. Now that he knows that he is just a gastrointestinal problem, Zhang Xun also has spirit.
This empire...... According to Ma Renjie's design, it will become more powerful in a very short period of time. Whether it was the establishment of a new ordnance workshop, or the training of a new forbidden army, or the issue of paper money by the Hanaka Group, he did not dare to entrust it to others. With these things in his hands, he must be extremely tired, but Zhang Xun didn't think that he would be tired to death. In the future, according to the method Ma Renjie said, regulate the stomach and pay more attention to the diet, he still has many years to live.
If everything Ma Renjie said was realized in his hands, then the Tang Empire would become even more brilliant, and it was he and Ma Renjie who brought all this. In fact, at this time, he was already inclined to believe in Ma Renjie's loyalty, although subconsciously he was still wary of Ma Renjie.
Because he is still vigilant, he has to live well, keep an eye on Ma Renjie, and see if he is as he said, just dedicated to opening up territory for the Tang Dynasty. If he is really loyal, then he will gradually turn Ma Renjie's idea into reality in Chang'an City.
No one but him can do all this.
Because he has enough power in his hands.
On the same day, the Persian Temple in Chang'an City launched a major assassination, getting rid of more than half of the important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and then naturally new courtiers came up, and it was he who decided this matter. His criteria for selecting talents are naturally the evaluation of the people on weekdays and the ability to do things, and the selected officials are all young and capable officials, although they are not selfish, but these people have naturally become a party.
This time, when Lanzhou was meeting, after Chen Xuanli died, 20,000 dragon warriors were in his hands. This time, Ma Lan left behind a thousand elite Anxi soldiers, all of whom were incorporated into the Longwu Army as officers, and the lowest was also the captain. With these people as the team, equipped with new ordnance in the future, the Longwu Army will be more prominent in the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, which is enough to defend Chang'an City. And with such a force, he will naturally not give up, and he will always be firmly in his hands.
In fact, he has become a powerful minister, Zhang Xun is very clear about this, but in his opinion, there is no way to do it. In his opinion, as long as Li Heng is still alive, he can't give up waiting and give up the hope that Li Heng will wake up. And as long as Li Heng hasn't woken up yet. He, as a courtier, can only do his best. Make this empire stronger.
There is no selfishness in his heart, so he has a clear conscience, so he can calmly accept the fact that he is the minister of power.
If Ma Renjie is not selfish, just to buy a little time, then he and Ma Renjie will cooperate and get an incomparably powerful Datang. And if Ma Renjie is selfish, the only one who can curb him is him. At that time, whether it is the Hezhong Group or the new forbidden army, it will be his means to balance Ma Renjie.
This time return to Chang'an City. It's a lot faster than when you came. Most of the clan's disciples did not follow, and were left behind by the army. In a few days, I will be able to return to Chang'an City. By then, there is still a lot of work to be done. The emperor's entry into the earth for peace, as well as the things Ma Renjie said, all cost a lot of energy.
The bitter medicinal juice made the body much more comfortable, Zhang Xun took a letter and looked at it carefully. It's still a very busy day, but I'm no longer worried about getting tired. This time, the news of Ma Renjie as the governor of the west should have been transmitted back to Chang'an City at this time. It's bound to cause a stir. However, Zhang Xun didn't care, the children of the clan and the princes and ministers had already accepted this fact. The remaining people in Chang'an City have a low status, so naturally they can't afford to make any waves.
When Zhang Xun, the right minister of the Tang Dynasty, was temporarily resting in Yuanzhou City, the content of the holy decree had been spread to all places, and the people in Chang'an City knew the news, and as expected, it set off a discussion.
Of course, it's just a discussion, the really powerful people in this city have already followed Zhang Xun out of Chang'an City, and others are only qualified to discuss.
The holy decree of the Son of Heaven contains great trust in Ma Lan, and the incident that he originally thought was a rabbit dead and a dog cooked did not happen. This is actually a relief for many knowledgeable Chang'an people.
After all, Li Jing's self-reliance has already happened in the northeast, and if there is any more accident in the west, then the country will be in crisis.
In fact, it is not impossible, after all, there was a conflict in the Fufeng County Royal Mansion before, and later, although the Fufeng County Royal Mansion was being rebuilt, the broken walls and gates were erected, and the new sign was even more magnificent than the previous one, but for so many days, I have never seen a person in and out of the Fufeng County Royal Mansion. From these things, many people can associate something.
But obviously, that isn't going to happen. General Ma Da retained his power, even more powerful than before, and the crisis in the west of the empire would be resolved.
Of course, for more people in Chang'an, they can't think of these, originally for General Ma, they are extremely sympathetic, a general who destroyed the Three Kingdoms, if he really ends up with a rabbit and a dead dog, it is undoubtedly an extremely tragic thing. And if today's Zi Shengming continues to give General Ma Da great trust, General Ma Da can continue to take Datang's iron cavalry and expand the territory for Datang. At the beginning, General Ma said that he would take Datang's iron cavalry to the sky, and the sentence "use Datang's sword to open up land for Datang's plow" I don't know how much athletes' blood was stirred, and now it is still far from hitting the sky.
Since the accident in the Fufeng County Palace, Li Juan has gone to the Qinglou of Pingkangfang a lot less, these days, he has been holding the heart of death, ready to die to thank Ma Lan for his kindness, after the news reached Chang'an, Li Juan began to appear in public in Pingkangfang, and continued to promote Ma Lan's exploits in the Shilin.
Of course, not only that, but he also began to lobby those who really had the ability to encourage them to go to work in the west. This is the task given to him by Michelle, and it is also Ma Lu's order.
If the west of the city wants to enter a new era, and if it is necessary to promote the civilization of the Han family in the west of the city and even in the river, it is natural that some seeds of reading are indispensable. And what Ma Lu attracted these scholars to the west was the generous financial treatment. (To be continued......)
PS: I recommend a friend's book "American Manor Owner", the link ishttp://www./Book/3645725.aspx
Brothers who like farming can pay attention to it, and it's very well written.
A new volume has begun, and the content will be mainly placed in the west of Green Mountain, basically no longer involving Chang'an too much, and will be mainly ^_^ murderous and ask for votes by the way.
