Chapter 1021 The so-called loyalty is just because the bargaining chips for betrayal are not enough
(More than 6,000 words, simply send a chapter up, ask for a recommendation ticket!) )
In the northwest of Luoyang City, the Luoyang Palace, which opens twelve gates on all sides of the twelve miles of the circumference, stands in the middle, under the arch guard of the heavy Qin army guards, it is solid.
Li Jing tossed and turned in the Guanfeng Hall of Shangyang Palace built by Gaozong and couldn't sleep, Yu Youniang asked the palace people to burn the fireplace very hot, and he opened the doors and windows and felt hot. He knew in his heart that it was a heat from the heart and lungs. Just today, the Wenwu Duke of the Qin Domain pushed the Zheng to lead the troops to gather in Shuozhou, to deter Yu Xuan, the Taishi of Zhenwu and Tiande Towns, and once again led the ministers to play and take the lead in persuading.
The first time the civil and military princes took the lead in persuading Li Jing's teacher, Taifu Cui Yunqing, this time, it was Li Jing's turn to be another teacher, Taishi Yu Xuan. Although their official title of Taishi Taifu was conferred by the imperial court, in the Qin Domain, these two positions were not the highest, but this qualification was the heaviest, even after the new dynasty, the title of Taifu Taishi was definitely deserved.
Yu Xuan persuaded him to enter the table, and the writing was very gorgeous.
Li Jing couldn't help but sit up again, and picked up the persuasion form written in the beautiful lines of the dragon flying and the phoenix dance.
"Entrepreneurship is the map of the prosperous world; Should be a good person, should be the throne of the king. The common people are salty, and the red sun is rising. Gai Wen is called the emperor of the people of Taoism, and His Royal Highness Qinwei is called the emperor of the people of morality. Sweep away the wind and dust of **, save the people from the world of fire and water, if the dynasty of the Jiang and Han dynasties; The state is prosperous, and there is the consolidation of Jintang. If you are bowing to the number of calendars, you must be in Chenju. The upper answer is in the heart of heaven, the lower is in line with the people's hope, the government is benevolent, and the counselor is the education of the two; Ritual and music. Open up the peace of eternity. I would like to advise you to hear it! ”
The situation of the Qin Domain is now very good, so good that it is beyond everyone's expectations. Going back half a year, no one would dare to believe that there would be such a good situation in half a year. In such a situation, the civil and military soldiers of the Qin Domain. I really can't wait to support Li Jing to ascend the throne and become the emperor immediately, so that everyone will also be rewarded for meritorious deeds, awarded knights, glorified ancestors, and glorified lintels.
The timing is really good. So good that Li Jing was a little moved.
Even at the joint meeting of the provincial cabinet and the government, the governors have passed several new articles.
The newly established Qin Tianjian has recruited astronomical almanac professionals from the Tang Dynasty, Bohai and many other places, and has completed the compilation of a new calendar calculation to prepare for Li Jing's new dynasty. The Department of Justice has also gathered a large number of specialized legal talents, and a new law, 'Qin Law and Discussion', has been compiled, and the new dynasty can be promulgated immediately in the world. Even the two departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of the Interior have prepared Li Jing's enthronement dress, the concubine and the official's congratulatory dress. Even the etiquette of the emperor's enthronement has been practiced many times.
The civil and military officials have made full preparations in all aspects. Just wait for Li Jing's yellow robe to add to his body and ascend to the throne.
After receiving this second persuasion, Li Jing still refused. However, this is not just because of the three pushes to give the gift that he rejected this second persuasion, but Li Jing really thinks that the time is not really ripe at this time. The war is imminent, and Li Jing doesn't want the civil and military soldiers to be distracted by this matter, and he doesn't want to be rewarded for his meritorious deeds at that time. Because he felt that he was favoring one over the other, he was dissatisfied, and finally affected the current critical war.
In addition to this, there is another very important reason, and that is the problem of the capital.
The vast majority of officials did not mention the question of where the capital should be located, because they felt that there was no need to raise the issue at all. What is different from Li Jing's thoughts is that almost more than ninety percent of the civil and military forces, including Cui Yunqing and Yu Xuan, think that it is a matter of course to set the imperial capital in Luoyang.
First, Luoyang is the center of the world. Since the Wei period, it has been known as Shenjing. After the martial arts changed Luoyang to the divine capital, and set this as the capital of the Wuzhou Dynasty, Luoyang City became more and more prosperous and magnificent. Especially after the Anshi Rebellion and the Huangchao Rebellion not long ago, Chang'an, the world's first capital, is no longer prosperous. Dilapidated, Chang'an, which has been broken several times, has long been dilapidated, leaving only thorns and ruins. On the other hand, Luoyang City did not fight any major battles during the Anshi Rebellion, and it was not devastated by many wars. Especially in the Huangchao Rebellion that ended not long ago, whether it was Huangchao's capture of Luoyang or the imperial court's recovery of Luoyang, it was a bloodless occupation of Luoyang. At the beginning, because Huang Chao successfully took Luoyang, he wanted to win people's hearts and change the impression of the bandits of the grass army, so the military discipline in Luoyang City was very good, and there was no excessive action. After the imperial court recovered Luoyang, it was also well run as Yang Fuguang's base camp.
Compared with the ruined Chang'an, Luoyang can be said to be a rare prosperous capital in the Central Plains at this time. What's more, although Guanzhong has the risk of four stops, since the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the problem of grain and material supply in Guanzhong has become more and more serious, and most of the grain and material supply has to rely on the southeast, so the transportation from the southeast to the northwest has become more and more difficult. For an imperial court, if the capital is in such a crisis for a long time, it is fatal. As Luoyang is the center of the world, the supply of food and materials will never be a problem. Whether it is from the southeast or southwest, or even from Hebei and Shandong, as well as Guanlong, Hexi and other places, it is much more convenient to pay money and grain for grain materials.
They agreed that Luoyang would be more suitable than Chang'an as the imperial capital of the new dynasty.
Li Jing also thinks that Luoyang is better than Chang'an, but he doesn't want to set the capital of the new dynasty in Luoyang, or in other words, Li Jing can set the capital in Luoyang, but he doesn't plan to set the capital in Luoyang. Of course, the capital will never be set in Chang'an, and the best place for the new dynasty capital in Li Jing's heart is Yanjing in Hebei.
Yanjing was chosen instead of Luoyang, nor Chang'an as the national capital, not only because Yanjing was the place of Li Jing's Longxing, but more importantly, since the Sui and Tang dynasties, the political center of gravity has been constantly shifting from west to east. Especially for today's Li Jing, Qin Fan is the successor of the Tang Dynasty, and the Qin Fan will not only inherit the Tang Dynasty, but also surpass the Tang Dynasty. One of the most important points is that the new dynasty will have de facto control over the entire Northeast. Moreover, the Northeast is not the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not the Northeast of the Tang Dynasty. This is neither an enclave in the Western Regions, nor a fetters with only nominal control. The Great Northeast is a newly developed territory equivalent to a small half of Middle-earth. It will be the engine for the new dynasty to take off, and it will be the granary of the new dynasty, as well as the stability of the new dynasty and the solution of the northern troubles. A key place to do it once and for all. It is conceivable that in the future, not only in the era of Li Jing, but also in the era of Li Jing's descendants, the development and construction of Northeast China will also be a constant theme. A developed Northeast. The significance to the new dynasty will definitely not be weaker than the development of Huguang by the Song Dynasty in history.
It is precisely because Li Jing has now decided in his heart that the development of the Northeast will be an unchanged strategic national policy for him and his descendants and future generations, so it is of great significance to establish the national capital in Yanjing, Hebei. This is related to the fact that the entire national policy is tilted towards the northeast in order to adhere to the implementation of this national policy. On the other hand, the Maritime Silk Road, which Li Jing has built after more than ten years, has become very mature and prosperous. The benefits are enormous, far beyond the Silk Road. The location of the capital in the northern coastal region was not only a firm belief in the development of the core area of the Bohai Rim that had always been the Qin Domain's philosophy, but also a firm support for maritime trade and expansion. There is another one, that is, whether it is the development of the Northeast in the future, or after the pacification of the world. For the development of the southeast Jianghuai and Huguang regions, along the coastline, will become the most important transportation line, close to the sea, rivers and oceans are connected, then whether it is the local transportation tax into Beijing, or the Beijing division to the radiation control of all places, will be greatly enhanced. And these, whether it is Luoyang or Chang'an. None of them are available.
The eastern coastline, which must be the top priority of the new dynasty. However, Li Jing did not set the capital of Weizhou in Hebei, Denglai or Qingzhou in Shandong, or Xuzhou in Huangxing, or Yangzhou in Jiangnan. Instead, it is set in Yanjing, which is also the reason for the law of unifying the south with the north in ancient times. In any case, in the north, even if the tribes are now subjugated, the Mongolian plateau directly north of the Central Plains, and the more barbarian tribes in Siberia north of the Trans-Khingan Mountains further north in the northeast, will be barbarians who must be guarded against.
One of the important reasons why the national capital is set in Yanjing in the north is to better prevent it from happening. Whether it was the Han and Tang Empires, or the Roman and Persian Empires, their greatest enemies were barbarians whose civilization was far weaker than theirs. This is true in Middle-earth, and even more so in Western languages. Historically, after the Tang Dynasty, the Liao, Jin, Mongolian, and Jurchen, which was not a barbarian who drank blood from Ru Mao, rose up and defeated the Central Plains civilization.
Li Jing's eyes are not limited to this era, he has a natural advantage compared with the civil and military forces. It is precisely because of this that Li Jing made up his mind to set up the capital of the new dynasty in Yanjing. But looking at their attitudes now, he also knew that everyone did not think that it was feasible to establish the capital of the country in Yanjing, which was far north. In their minds, either Guanzhong Chang'an, or Central Plains Luoyang. If there is a third option, then it may only be Taiyuan. Yanjing? Although it is very prosperous now, no matter how prosperous it is, it is only a corner of Hebei, and for hundreds of years, there is no great dynasty to establish the capital of Yanjing.
Li Jing didn't want to have a big argument with the ministers at this time, so he simply planned not to ascend to the pole for the time being, and waited. Wait for this big war to pass, and wait for him to take advantage of this time to have a good ventilation with the important ministers, penetrate the bottom, and blow the wind.
After thinking about it a few more times, Li Jing took over the battle reports from many fronts that had just been delivered in the evening and read them again, carefully comparing them with the maps, and analyzing the latest situation.
Gongsun Lan suddenly asked to see her outside, and when the guards led her into the hall, she was still panting.
"You came running?" Shangyang Palace is a huge palace complex built by Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian couple, which can be compared with the Luoyang Palace built by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. Gongsun Lan, as Li Jing's intelligence director, although she was able to enter the palace urgently to meet her at a special time, she still couldn't ride a horse, and she had a hard time running all the way.
"The military situation is urgent, I don't dare to delay, as soon as I received an urgent report, I immediately sent it."
Li Jing's face was a little solemn, it was definitely not easy to be so nervous and urgent by Gongsun Lan. Could it be that the front line has changed again? Did Gao Renhou break through the Shannan defense line, or did Zhu Wen lead the troops to kill, or did Yang Fugong's dead eunuch actually break the Fenhe defense line? Or, Yang Xingmi and Qian Biao couldn't help but take the opportunity to make trouble in Jiangdong, or was there any chaos in the four towns of Guanzhong?
He couldn't help but get his heart beating faster, and the more he was on the eve of victory, the more he couldn't relax carelessly. Although the Qin army now has a great advantage, it is not yet the time to sit back and relax.
Gongsun Lan took out a lacquer box and opened it in front of the imperial case in front of Li Jing. Inside there are four hand scrolls side by side. Black ink is faintly visible on the back of the rolled white paper.
On the heads of the four hand rolls, a small red sticker was pasted on them. It was actually red, and Li Jing's brows couldn't help frowning a few times. Although Li Jing now has set up a new official system, there are three provinces and six ministries. There are cabinets and courts, and there are government halls and cabinets, but there are still too many things that need to be reviewed in person every day. In order to distinguish the priorities, the prime ministers of the government hall wrote a proposal after reading the chapter, and the cabinet approved it on behalf of Li Jing. General affairs are handled by the government affairs hall and the cabinet, and then reported to Li Jing. After they have reviewed the recital. It will be prioritized and a piece of paper will be attached to the piece of paper at the end. After they reviewed the general affairs chapters, they only made a memorandum and submitted it to Li Jing for review. And if it is an important piece, it will be pasted with a yellow piece of paper, which is called a yellow patch. If it is a very important matter, it will be pasted with an orange piece of paper, which will be pasted with orange to signify, and it will be immediately submitted to Li Jing for personal review. And above the yellow and orange, there is the most important level. It's red. Under normal circumstances, yellow is already very important, orange is very urgent, and red, which is not urgent, cannot be pasted indiscriminately.
And now. The four handscrolls sent by Gongsun Lan were all pasted with four small red cards, as bright as blood.
Li Jing didn't care about asking any more, so he immediately grabbed one and quickly opened it to read.
"Gao Renhou led the Sanchuan soldiers and horses to raid Wuguan, attacked Wuguan overnight, and then quickly marched westward, and has successively taken Shangluo and Shangluo, crossed the Qinling Mountains, and entered the pass. Breaking through the Lantian Pass, the soldiers and horses have entered Bashui, and are besieging Lantian City, and the soldiers are less than 100 miles away from Chang'an City. It's only eighty miles away! ”
Li Jing took a breath of cool air, and secretly said that Tian Lingzi is really an unpredictable and unpredictable character. It is estimated that if Yang Fugong knew the news, he would definitely sigh that he was not afraid of god-like enemies, but of pig-like teammates. Red alert, this is a great piece of good news, Tian Lingzi, the first knife behind the friendly army of God, God, in this way, the situation in the entire Central Plains will change again, but it will change in the direction of the Qin army. Tian Lingzi, you really should give him a thumbs up, no, he definitely deserves thirty-two likes!
With this great news, Li Jing's mood was much soothed. With a smile on his face, he opened the second scroll.
"Double-spear general Wang Yanzhang, white horse silver gun Gao Siji, tiger general Li Cunxiao, jade-faced flying dragon Wang Tan, stepping on the white general Li Si'an, little overlord Guo Tao, iron beast Guo Wei, seven generals crossed the dragon gate at night, outwitted Tongzhou Hancheng, and then went north alone, killed into Baoda town Danzhou, three days and two nights, turned to fight thousands of miles, successively broke through Baoda town Xianning City, Jinchuan City, Fenchuan City, Wuren Pass, Mengmen Pass, shocked the west bank of the Yellow River, and broke Baoda, Dingnan, Zhenwu, Tiande Sifan Town!"
"Good!" Seeing this, Li Jing couldn't help but pat his thigh excitedly. Previously, Lin Wei's soldiers confronted Yang Fugong's army on the front line of the Fen River, and reported to him that they sent several Taibao to lead an elite army of soldiers and horses, preparing to smuggle across the Yellow River and sneak into the west bank, in order to cover the right flank of the Qin army's soldiers and horses east of the river, and at the same time, also deter Sifan Town on the west bank. He also agreed to this, but what he didn't expect was that Wang Yanzhang and the others were not petty fights, but caused such a big storm. actually broke Li Quanzhong's town ** Hancheng in the same state first, and then entered Danzhou in Baoda Town, and achieved such a series of victories.
This incident is really unexpected. However, in this way, it may push the town of Sifan in Guanzhong to the opposite side. But considering the fact that Sifan Town first agreed to neutrality, and finally sent 10,000 soldiers and horses out of the customs, Li Jing felt that it was still necessary to let a few young generals take the initiative to make trouble and beat them. However, this has to be mastered well, and it can't be too much, otherwise, if it doesn't work, Sifan Town will simply be ruthless, completely fall to Yang Fugong's side, and fight against Qin Fan with all his might, then it will be a little troublesome.
With excitement, Li Jing put the handscroll aside and picked up another one.
After sweeping his gaze, the smile on Li Jing's face disappeared and became a little gloomy.
Yang Xingmi had already captured Yangzhou and surrendered most of the former Huainan generals, and his power increased greatly. And almost at the same time, Qian Biao of Hangzhou also used the power of a state to defeat the assassins of the western Zhejiang prefectures that had been scattered into a plate of scattered sand, in order to meet the name of Zhou Bao, and defeated the assassins of the navy states in western Zhejiang Town one after another, and had occupied eight states in western Zhejiang. But Zhou Bao, who was rescued by him, immediately 'died of illness' in his military camp. What made Li Jing's face ugly was that at the first time Yang Xingmi captured Yangzhou, Zhao Li, who was sitting in Xuzhou, had already transferred a force of 3,000 soldiers and horses south to Yangzhou, and as a result, these 3,000 Qin troops were actually ambushed by a bandit of unknown origin on the ground in Yangzhou, and the whole army was wiped out. And what made Li Jing most angry was that the two military missions he had assigned to the two of them had lost contact. The Military Intelligence Bureau found a little information, Yang Xingmi and Qian Biao secretly had close contact, and it seemed that there was a secret alliance. The two military missions, which suddenly lost contact, are estimated to have been secretly purged by the two.
Everything pointed to a possibility, Yang Xingmi and Qian Biao finally felt their wings full, and they couldn't hold back any longer. They took advantage of the current Central Plains war, and actually jumped back! Li Jing couldn't believe it at first, how could they be stupid in the current situation of the Qin Domain? But when I think about it, I think it's normal. The strength of the two is getting stronger and stronger, but Qin Fan is also getting stronger and stronger, and they know very well that if they don't seize this last opportunity to rebel, they really have no chance to rebel. Although they knew that the result of the rebellion was very likely to fail in the end, the ** of the right finally made them make the decision to rebel.
Although the matter has not been finalized, Li Jing already believes that it is very likely that this is the case. Previously, the Supervision Office had already collected many small actions of the two, but Li Jing had no time to be distracted, and secondly, it was judged that they did not have the strength and determination to rebel. Unexpectedly, after annexing Huainan and Zhexi, the ambition of the two was finally inflated. And the war in the Central Plains at this time also made them mistakenly think that they had found the best time.
With a cold snort, Li Jing dropped the scroll. The two reversed, but Li Jing found that he was not as angry as he imagined. He was just a little upset, but not too angry. Come to think of it, maybe I was already prepared for the two of them to come this far. Or, Li Jing didn't take the rebellion of the two to heart at all. All along, they have helped Li Jing stabilize and balance the stability of Wuyue and help Li Jing reduce the troubles in the Huaisi region. Even if they finally rebelled now, for Li Jing and Qin Fan, the Qin army was completely unafraid of the southeast rebellion at this time, so their rebellion would not make Li Jing too angry at all, nor would it make the Qin army too frightened.
The last volume.
Shang Rang died, and the second-in-command of Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao, the two thieves who were once rampant in the world, finally died in an internal strife.
The Qin military power and their Shannan camp had recently won successive victories and seized most of the territory of Shannan Dongdao. But not long ago, the Shannan Army and Liu Jurong's Five Towns Army fought in Xiangyang, and the Shannan Army, which was lightly enemy, fell into Liu Jurong's strategy and was defeated. As soon as he lost, he lost most of the territory he had worked so hard to build. Then, Qin Zongquan suddenly attacked Shang Rang, Zhang Guimou, and Ge Congzhou, the three pseudo-Qi old generals. No one expected this knife from behind, and as a result, even with Ge Congzhou, Zhang Guimu, Shang Rang and other fierce generals who once dominated the world, they were finally defeated.
Shang Rang and many old generals of the Qi army died in battle, and a few defeated generals such as Zhang Guiba and Ge Congzhou and Zhang Guimu fled east to Xuzhou with Zhang Guiba.
Shannan Province, or Shannan Xingying, has now become Qin Zongquan's Shannan Xingying.
The four pieces of news are indeed very shocking.
Tian Lingzi betrayed his ally Yang Fugong, the seven generals of the Qin army raided Baoda Town, which betrayed the neutral agreement with the Qin army, Yang Xingmi and Qian Biao betrayed Li Jing, and Qin Zongquan betrayed his allies Shang Rang, Ge Congzhou, Zhang Guimou, etc., annexed their forces and monopolized the territory of Shannan, which was also equivalent to betraying Li Jing.
Li Jing couldn't help but shake his head and laugh bitterly, betrayal, betrayal, betrayal, cold knife and dark arrow, you can never know who the next enemy will be!
"Alain, give me pen and paper, I want to write a letter!"
Gongsun Lan took paper, ink, pen and inkstone, studied ink with her hands, looked up and asked, "Who do you write to whom?" ”
"To an old friend!"
