Chapter 83: Zhao Yilang loses power

"Lu Bing, Lu Wenfu, you are really a talented person. To put it mildly, it solves the troubles that have plagued Daming for nearly a hundred years, although I don't know if your method is really easy to use, and the effect will take time to verify, but at least it is a good start, at least there is a way to solve the problem. Xia Yan praised and said.

Lu Bing said with a smile: "It's not easy to get praise from Lord Xia, since you appreciate me so much, won't you come to help me?" ”

"I" Xia Yan was speechless for a while, as a loyal minister who saw the suffering of the people and cherished the world, such a Ming monarch was indeed what he wanted in his dreams, but if he followed Lu Bing, what about his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty?

Lu Bing looked at Xia Yan and said: "Come and help me, let's build an unprecedented transition together, and become the beginning of a new era, this era does not need an uprising to open, nor does it need foreign invasion to create, it must be spent in peace and stability." And the one qiē I am talking about, although I have now begun to act, but it is not enough for me to do it alone, and I need the joint efforts and continuous improvement of people with lofty ideals. Xia Yan, don't doubt anymore, if there is any objection in the world, the two of us will carry it together. But I don't think anyone cares about your so-called benevolence, righteousness, morality, loyalty, filial piety, and shame, all the people care about is whether they can live well, and we just need to do it right. ”

"Do the right thing." Xia Yan muttered to himself, Lu Bing had discussed such a question with Xia Yan before, and Xia Yan fell into deep thought again.

Lu Bing smiled and said, "Don't embarrass yourself, we still have time." Why don't you go back and think about it? ”

"No need, I'm willing to help you and see how you create a world. See if you can be a good king. Lu Bing, if one day you are unreasonable, I will definitely quit again. Xia Yan said, Lu Bing was stunned at first, but he didn't expect Xia Yan to agree, but then he laughed: "Then you Xia Yan is not fair, Zhu Houxi did this." You didn't leave him, how did you get to me, it's not a standard at all. ”

Xia Yan is usually serious and unsmiling. But when he saw Lu Bing's pretending to be aggrieved, he also laughed. Xia Yan made up his mind to help Lu Bing, he didn't know if his choice was right, but no matter what, he made a choice and he would not change again. Even if you are burdened with infamy and grievances. Even if this is a wrong path, Xia Yan will still go on, this is Xia Yan's choice.

—————————————————————————————————————

After Lu Bing took Shuntianfu, the situation in various places underwent subtle changes, and three parties died down, one was the Zhao family, the Zhao family was entrenched in Yancheng, and they defended closely nearby and no longer took the initiative to attack. Nanjing is not far from Yancheng. And Shandong is not too far from Yancheng, and the two parties happen to sandwich Yancheng in the middle. Yancheng was on strict precautions, but did not attack. It seems that after cleaning up his big rear, he will immediately come to annex Yancheng. At this time, the Zhao family had no certainty of victory whether they went south or north, and in the end, they were only afraid that stealing chickens would not lead to rice, and not only would they not be able to conquer the new territory, but they would also lose the territory they had occupied. If the two lines attack, the Zhao family will not have this ability.

On the other side, it was the Tatars who calmed down, and the Tatars naturally knew the strength of the Lu family's army, and many small conflicts in Mobei, as long as the elite cavalry of the Lu family's army was dispatched, they could immediately solve the problem, of course, not the result of peace talks, but by the deterrence of force. And Lu Bing, the ruler of the Lu family, and Xiliang Xia Dade, who are now known as Tuhongyi. The monarch of Xiliang in Wulianghai, the two of them are friends of eight worships, and it is a legendary story in the vast grassland and the endless Western Regions.

Since ancient times, how many Mongolians or the Anda brothers of the Western Regions have reached their respective powers, and the feelings of righteousness have become bullshit, they must be killed, they must be beaten, and there is still a trace of the brotherhood of the day. Even Genghis Khan Temujin, revered by the Mongols, fought a battle with his own Anda in the end, defeated Anda and killed his own Anda.

But Lu Bing and Tu Hongyi. Wulianghai is different, their two brothers are a good story of righteousness, Lu Bing went out of the Lu family army to conquer the current land of Xiliang, and merged the three khanates of Yili Jiangli, Tulupan and Yarkand, and then Lu Bing did not face the south and back to the north to establish himself as the king, but gave way to Xia Dade.

Everyone praised one after another, it seems that there are still sages of the Han people, no wonder they respect Yao Shunyu soup so much, no, now there is such a great man like Yao Shunyu, who can abdicate and let the virtuous practice Zen let the great thing. But if you think about it carefully, in addition to Lu Bing's open-mindedness and righteousness, there are also many problems.

First of all, the Xiliang people are mixed, and the thinking of the Han nation is very different, the political power changes frequently, and has experienced the Mongol Empire, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, the Timurid Empire, and the period of the three powers. In the face of such a nation, we must be resolute, such as causing chaos in some places. According to Lu Bing's path, it must be Shunzhi, which is very useful in the territory of the Han people, but I am afraid that it will not be so effective if it is put in Xiliang, and other places will follow suit, and the world will be in chaos. Therefore, Lu Bing is ruthless to people, and most of his good deeds are useless in Xiliang, while Xia Dade does the opposite, it is easy to be disobedient, and it is easy to make trouble, and he will directly destroy the clan and the species, and see who dares. When the qiē is calm, let's sit down and talk about how to develop and how to live a good life, otherwise it's all nonsense.

This kind of method is something that Lu Bing can't do, and even Lu Bing can't think of, in Lu Bing's view, this kind of management will perish sooner or later, and tyranny will always be overthrown. But in fact, this is not the case, Xiliang is not only not perishing, but thriving. The national power is getting stronger day by day, and the people are slowly being tamed. But Xia Dade has actually exterminated three clans in the east and west over the years, with more than 20,000 people, which makes a person with a rolling head and white bones. Instead of being affected, everyone admired and admired Xia Dade even more. Wulianghai was worshiped as their god and idol, which simply shocked Lu Bing.

In addition, there were several reasons why Lu Bing gave way back then. The people who commanded the troops over there were Xia Dade, Cai Longyu and Qi Jingtong. Later, with the development, Xia Dade's path was more in line with the character of the people there, and his reputation became higher and higher. The soldiers under his command gathered more and more, and gradually became the main force, and then formed the dominant force, which is also fate.

When Lu Bing arrived, no one knew him as the lord, only the reputation of Lu Jiajun and Xia Dade, and everyone looked at Xia Dade. There are even people who express resentment towards Lu Bing, and there are many people who want to kill Lu Bing loyally, for fear that Lu Bing will seize Xia Dade's position. There are only two roads left in front of Lu Bing. Surrender the vast Western Regions to Xia Dade, and transfer Xia Dade or kill him, so as to seize power. This will inevitably lead to riots, and that situation will come back to the way it is governed. It wasn't for Lu Bing to be ruthless at that time.

And Lu Bing's family is in the capital. If Lu Bing gave this territory to Zhu Houxi, Lu Bing felt unwilling. This is all a battle fought by his own soldiers and horses, and it is inevitable that he will be reluctant to let Daming become the family of the old Zhu family, and although Zhu Houxi is also Lu Bing's brother, he is very clear about what Lu Bing is. Staying in his hands is tantamount to usurping the throne and usurping power, and I am afraid that the family in the capital will be in danger. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Lu Bing chose to give up this territory and gave it to Xia Dade. and helped Xia Dade establish some basic national policies in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. These national policies have also laid the foundation for the governance of the world seized by Lu Bing now, and he has at least one or two experiences.

Since then, Xiliang and the Lu family of Daming have become closer. Xia Dade always said that this country was given to me by my third brother, and he could leave at any time. Lu Bing is naturally not stupid enough to give someone else's world and then want to come back, so they get along very well, and if they give up, they will give up, once they get used to the world, even Xia Dade will be difficult to let it out again, if you have to be afraid that you will only be afraid of brothers turning against each other, then what you did before will become a lot of one move.

Before and after the Wanshou Festival gift, Lu Bing and Xia Dade each had their own intentions, but they didn't expect Zhu Houxi to make the first move. The two brothers cooperated with each other and attacked the Ming Dynasty with the strength of the whole country, which is another good story. It's just that if you think about it carefully, there is inevitably some political and interest flavor in it, such an act is not only brotherly love, but also in line with the interests of the Lu family and Xiliang. It's just that the two brothers made it clear in person, how the minister said the strategist, how to talk about it, etc., etc., this is the real thing that can be called brotherhood. The others are mixed with too many other flavors to mention.

From Mobei to Ordos and then to Xiliang, the name of the Lu Jiajun resounded throughout the grassland, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was invincible, and even the Uzbek Khanate was almost wiped out. Now that Xiliang has stopped attacking Daming, and Lu Bing has also taken nearly half of Daming's territory, it is easy to defeat the Tatars with the momentum of the horns. It's just that now neither side has the heart to mess with him, first, there are better opponents waiting to be eliminated, and the other is that the Tatars are too poor, except for the steppe and hard-working Mongolian horses, there is nothing else at all. These can be obtained through guò deterrence to get Tatar tribute, and there is no need to get it through guò war, which is a matter of labor and money, and it is very not cost-effective to fight. Because of this, the Mongol Tatars love to fight, anyway, they don't have much investment, they just use war to feed the war, and they can provoke friction at will to fight a grass valley or even provoke a full-scale war.

Originally, under the attack of Xiliang on the whole front, the Tatars had the idea of retreating, and spit out all the territories occupied by Xiliang when they entered the Ming Dynasty, and then retreated one after another. Later, Li Xiang became a key figure, and Jungar Khan threw himself into Xiliang and the Lu family because Li Xiang was a concubine, so that the Tatars were even more frustrated and were no longer able to fight. Now the ruling class has fled back to Mobei, keeping a low profile, and not sending troops at all.

The Lu family and Xiliang didn't bother to deal with him, so naturally the Tatars retreated. Then the last party, Xiliang, will be stable, and now it is on the northern border, preparing for the next step.

At this time, the Zhao family was in a difficult situation. In Yancheng, the Zhao family and the five sect masters sat together, and Zhao Yuanji spoke first: "At this time, it is not about how we should act, but about who will assist me in the matter. Since our Da Zhao started the army, it has always been Zhao Yilang as the prime minister to assist my Da Zhao's foundation, and now Zhao Yilang is seriously injured, and several suzerains also have important positions, and they are busy with official business, and it is estimated that they are not free. I thought it would be better to temporarily dismiss the post of prime minister. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? ”

"Holy Lord, I think that our sect masters can temporarily take the position of prime minister, not to mention others, at least I have free." Jiajiamu Ito said that he was one of the five sect masters, and the remaining few people also expressed their positions to be prime ministers.

The position of the prime minister originally belonged to Zhao Yilang, who was in charge of the overall situation and deployed everyone, which was the position in charge of power and an official position that overturned Zhao Yuanji's power. Now Zhao Ichiro, who is Iga Ueno, was injured by Cui Ling, and has been unconscious so far, and his life is in danger, and the Zhao family is in turmoil in an instant. Since Zhao Yuanji set foot on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, he has continued to accumulate strength, and he has a large number of Han soldiers and soldiers, and he has gradually won victories in the political game, fully appointing his sons and relatives, and has long wanted to seize power. Zhao Yilang's injury happened to be an opportunity, and it was also a good opportunity for Zhao Yuanji to turn the tables around, so he issued such a proposal at this time. (To be continued......)
