Chapter 151: The Reappearance of "Confession" (Part II)

"In doing so, the Later Zhou court was tantamount to handing over the handle of the ghost-headed broadsword that cut off his head into the hands of Zhao Kuangyin" -- this was the consensus of the four members of the committee and all the traversers who participated in the enlarged meeting of the committee after reading Zheng Zhiwei's telegram and knowing the ins and outs of the whole matter.

"Doing this in the Later Zhou court is tantamount to 'drinking water to quench thirst'." Zhang Weixin shook the copy of the telegram in his hand and shook his head.

"Anyway, the Zhou court will die sooner or later, and it's the same whether you drink this cup of poisonous wine or not. If they don't die, how can we have the opportunity to fully implement the 'Jianye No. 1 Action Jihua' so smoothly! Xu Shaoan said with a smile.

"The only thing I'm worried about now is that Zhao Kuangyin can't bear his temperament and sings his 'yellow robe' drama too early. As a result, we may have to hastily mobilize troops to the south when the work of adjusting the administrative divisions and military defense areas has not been thoroughly completed, and the civil and military work of the new divisions has not been fully put on the right track, thus laying a hidden danger for the smooth implementation of the 'Jianye No. 1 Operation.'" Li Junwu answered with some concern.

"Big brother's concern is not unreasonable." Wang Kunjun agreed, "Although as far as the full implementation of the 'Jianye No. 1 Action Jihua' is concerned, we hope that Zhao Kuangyin will launch a coup d'état like in the history of his previous life and stage the wonderful drama of 'yellow robe'." But if this affects the stability and development of our foundation land, it will be a bit more than worth the loss. After all, stability in the rear is the premise and foundation for us to go south and achieve victory. Not to mention the instability in the rear, there will be problems in the supply of food, grass, weapons and ammunition for the army at the front. As far as the morale of the soldiers under the command of the Beiping Army is concerned, there can be no confusion and mistakes in the rear foundation. Otherwise, I'm afraid that before we reach Kaifeng City, we will already be in chaos. ”

"Fifth brother is right." Qian Yuanshan nodded and said, "When our Beiping army works together, foreign enemies don't dare to have any thoughts that they shouldn't have. But once our foundation is unstable, the morale of the army is weakened, and our morale is low, and we give others an opportunity to take advantage of it, our enemies will never let it go. When the time comes, it is estimated that not only the Later Zhou court or Zhao Kuangyin's kid will covet our 'fat meat', but I am afraid that even the Khitans who have been beaten by us will pounce on us and bite us to relieve the hatred in their hearts. ”

Hearing this, Wang Kunjun first nodded in agreement, and then asked Zhang Weixin and Qian Yuanshan: "According to the estimates of the Ministry of Government Affairs and the Ministry of Military Affairs, how much time will it take for the adjustment of administrative divisions and military defense regions to be completely completed, how many hours will it take for new officials and generals to fully enter their roles, and for the work of various prefectures and towns to get on the right track?" ”

After a brief pause, Zhang Weixin took the lead in replying: "Judging from the current situation, most of the civil affairs work of all the prefectures involved in the adjustment of administrative divisions has been completed, and by December 20 at the latest, the new governors of the prefectures will be able to carry out their work and handle government affairs normally. ”

"It's a similar story here in the military towns." Qian Yuanshan continued, "Except for a small number of 'security army' troops who have not yet been deployed due to travel arrangements and barracks construction problems, the general troops, attachés, and directly subordinate teams of each town, as well as the 'Flying Dragon Army' stationed in the town, have all arrived at their posts to perform their duties and completed their deployment. According to the estimates of the Ministry of Military Affairs, by the end of this month at the most, the remaining part of the men and horses will be able to successfully enter the camp and carry out the corresponding garrison tasks. ”

Wang Kunjun nodded after hearing this, and said: "In this way, by the 20th of next month at the latest, our army will be able to move south without any worries, and it is the most important and critical step to complete the 'Jianye No. 1 Operation Jihua'." ”

"Not bad." Zhang Weixin and Qian Yuanshan replied in unison.

"That means that no matter what method is used, we will also delay the time for Zhao Kuangyin's coup d'état to be postponed until after the twentieth of next month?" Xu Shaoan asked.

"Not bad." Zhang Weixin and Qian Yuanshan replied in unison again.

"It's not easy." Xu Shaoan shook his head slightly and said, "This 'Shi Jiewei Wei' and folk nursery rhyme incident is obviously Zhao Kuangyin's ghost, and its purpose is to use this incident to pull Zhang Yongde down from the position of the palace commander, and then sit on it himself, so as to grasp the control of the most elite people in the Later Zhou Dynasty and provide the most powerful guarantee for himself to launch a coup d'état." Now, his strategy has worked, and the queen mother and auxiliary ministers of the Later Zhou court, who believed in ghosts and gods and believed in the will of heaven, really took the so-called 'Shijie Wei' and the nursery rhyme that anyone could make up as a warning from heaven, and made a foolish decision to take the risk of handing over the military power to Zhao Kuangyin, and to drive Zhang Yongde, who responded to the so-called 'warning from heaven', out of the court. Thinking that Zhao Kuangyin was trying to drive Zhang Yongde away and hold the command of the forbidden army in front of the palace, now that this guy has finally fulfilled his wish, he will naturally not wait any longer, but will definitely launch a coup d'état as soon as possible, in case the night is long and dreamy, and there will be any other moths. After all, judging from the past situation, the Later Zhou court did not trust Zhao Kuangyin very much, and he still left a hand when he was appointed to temporarily take charge of the front of the palace, and he didn't know when he would use the same method as Zhang Yongde and other generals who were transferred out of the forbidden army system, and also gave him Zhao Kuangyin a bright and secret descent, and seized his military power. In this case, it will be very difficult to delay the rebellion and let him act according to our schedule. ”

"There is indeed some truth in what Lao Ba said." Wang Kunjun agreed, "Zhang Yongde, the biggest opponent, was driven out of the court, and the forbidden army in front of the palace was temporarily controlled, these are all golden opportunities for Zhao Kuangyin. It can be said that 'there is no time to lose, and the time never comes'. If I were him, I would have seized this fleeting opportunity to complete the preparations for the coup d'état in the shortest possible time and as quickly as possible, and then suddenly broke out with lightning speed, staging a beautiful 'yellow robe' drama. It is indeed difficult to slow him down at this juncture and interfere with his preparations. But no matter how hard it is, we have to do it. Because, I don't want to be unstable in the rear due to lack of preparation and hasty going into battle, so that we will be in a dilemma because of worries when we go south, and even shake the foundation for this. I don't want to miss the best time to go south, so that we have to face the reputation of chaotic ministers and thieves, meet our own compatriots and fight to the death, and finally make the Han people suffer from the military disaster. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Kunjun paused slightly, looked around the venue, and saw that all the brothers were listening carefully to his speech, and showed a deep expression of approval of his statement, and then continued: "Therefore, in response to this 'Shijie Wei' and folk nursery rhyme incident, I suggest that our Beiping Army deal with it from the following points.

First, immediately launch all the public opinion liliang in Kaifeng City that we can mobilize, and complain about Zhang Yongde, even if he can't let the Later Zhou court take back his fate, at least we must try to delay the time for Zhang Yongde to resign from his post and leave the capital, so that Zhao Kuangyin can't immediately obtain the command of the forbidden army in front of the palace, and can't prepare for his coup, so as to delay the time for his army;

Second, immediately mobilize our liliang in the Later Zhou Imperial Palace, especially Liliang, who is not very much in agreement with the method of handling this matter in the Later Zhou Imperial Court, and try his best to blow the wind to the Empress Dowager Xiaofu and the auxiliary ministers of the Later Zhou Dynasty, so that they can believe that Zhao Kuangyin is by no means a good type, and this 'Shi Jiewei Wei' and folk nursery rhymes are likely to be the biggest obstacle on the road to eliminate their ill intentions, and take the opportunity to control the military power of the forbidden army in front of the palace. If they can't be convinced, they will at least be skeptical. As a result, Empress Dowager Xiaofu, who could not trust Zhao Kuangyin, and a number of auxiliary ministers were even more suspicious of Zhao Kuangyin, and took more restrictive measures against him, making it more difficult for him to make his coup d'état, so that he would not dare to act rashly until he completed full preparations;

Third, the line of Xu Xinsheng and Xu brothers was immediately activated, taking advantage of his advantage of being an internal member of the Zhao Group and being deeply appreciated and relied on by Zhao Kuangyin, and quietly instilled the concept of 'fighting a snake will not die, but will be bitten by a snake', and strongly instigated Zhao Kuangyin to continue to suppress Zhang Yongde. And after Zhang Yongde left Beijing to take office, he could instigate Zhao Kuangyin to fabricate and fabricate some rumors such as 'dissatisfied with the imperial court' and 'intent to rebel', so as to achieve the goal of prompting the imperial court to agree to send troops to quell the rebellion, so as to kill Zhang Yongde with the sword of the Later Zhou court. In this way, before Zhang Yongde was arrested or killed, Zhao Kuangyin naturally would not have launched a coup d'état;

Fourth, in accordance with the southward strategy set by the 'Jianye No. 1 Operation Jihua', 2,000 elites were immediately transferred from the 'Ranger Battalion' and the 'Wolf's Tooth Battalion' to form the 'Southward Advance Regiment'. After disguise and disguise, under the cover of various identities and different purposes, he entered Kaifeng City in batches and lurked in concealment. When Zhao Kuangyin really took a risk, and then the Zhou court was unable to resist, he regrouped to protect the safety of the Later Zhou royal family, the important ministers of the court, especially the eighteenth sister's mother and son, and bought enough time for the main army to go south to "Qin Wang Jingnan";

Fifth, the Beiping Army will begin a comprehensive and secret mobilization from now on, so that it can immediately move south if the situation requires it. ”

Wang Kunjun's series of suggestions were unanimously endorsed by the brothers in the congregation, and Zhang Weixin, while expressing his support, also made a suggestion -- from now on, the Internal Affairs Department of the Ministry of Intelligence should be mobilized to carry out a large-scale combing and investigation of the Beiping Military District, especially the eight prefectures in front of the mountains -- that is, the two prefectures of Beiping and Lulong, so as to eliminate as much as possible the hidden spies of Zhang Yongde's "Feiyan Tang" in the Beiping Army, especially the "Feiyan Tang" headquarters that may still remain here. In order to ensure the superiority of the Beiping Army in intelligence.

In this regard, Wang Kunjun and other participating brothers also expressed their approval, and Liang Ziyue, who was the director of the Internal Affairs Department of the Ministry of Intelligence, who missed the opportunity to capture Zhang Yan in one fell swoop because he failed to discover the situation of Zhang Yan's southward movement in time, raised his hands in favor of it, and said that this time he would definitely thoroughly sort out and investigate all the prefectures, counties, villages and towns in Beiping and Lulong Prefectures like using a grate grate, and there would be no more omissions and mistakes like last year.

After deciding on a strategy for dealing with the incident of the "Shijie Wei" and folk nursery rhymes in the coming week, the brothers in the congregation began to discuss the next issue -- the question of the selection of the commander of the "southward advance group."

Because considering that the "Southbound Advance Regiment" was composed of officers and soldiers from the two special forces, the "Ranger Battalion" and the "Wolf's Tooth Battalion", according to the original plan of the "Jianye No. 1 Operation Jihua", the original designated commander of the "Southbound Advance Regiment" was Muttle, who was in charge of the construction and operational command of the special forces in the crossing team. But with the passage of time and the development of the situation, it is no longer appropriate to let Muttel lead his troops south in advance. On the one hand, with the progress of the "Overlord Operation," the northern border of the Beiping Army has been greatly expanded to the north, and in order to facilitate the men and horses of the two special forces and other units to go north to "fight the grass valley" and harass the Khitans, at the request of the Military Department and with the approval of the committee, two new forward bases have been built in the Yongle City of Jinzhou and the left side of Daning City for the temporary stationing of the two special forces and other units involved in the harassment in the north. At this time, Muter, who was the commander-in-chief of the special forces and was also the most important general leading the troops in the northward harassment operation, was running back and forth between Jinzhou and Daning, guiding and supervising the construction of the two forward bases, and it was impossible for him to withdraw himself to lead the troops south.

On the other hand, since the establishment of the Beiping Army, due to the division of labor, almost all the work that charged into battle and involved dangers and dangers was done by Muter, a brother who was not dragged down by daily military affairs and government affairs, which was really a bit too hard. Now, with the adjustment of the military defense zone, Qian Yuanshan and Wang Feng have been freed from daily military affairs, and it seems a little unsatisfactory to let Mutel continue to do such hard and tiring work - even if he himself will not have any complaints about it, and even be a little happy to do it. However, "busy and idle" is not the style of working through the team, and the committee does not want to focus the credit on one or a few brothers, so as not to cause psychological imbalance and complaints from other brothers. Therefore, this time, both the committee and the military department believe that this part of the arrangement in the "Jianye No. 1 Operation Jihua" should be revised and the commander of the "southbound advance group" should be reselected.

While both the Committee and the Military Department were in favour of it, the other brothers present had no opinion on the proposal. After some discussion, considering that Qian Yuanshan was the actual front-line commander-in-chief of the Military Department and the "Flying Dragon Army", he was also required to participate in the command of the main force of the Beiping Army going south in the future. Therefore, the enlarged meeting of the committee finally decided to accept Wang Kunjun's proposal, and Wang Feng should serve as the commander-in-chief of the "southward advance group" and lead his troops to set off south before the 20th of this month, and all his troops should be lurked in place before the 10th day of the 12th month of the lunar calendar. In order to ensure that the "southbound advance group" could smoothly arrive in Kaifeng, the committee also ordered all intelligence stations along the Foreign Affairs Department of the Ministry of Intelligence to provide necessary response and cooperation, and to ensure that this 2,000-strong secret advance team would not lose a single person or miss a day.

In addition, the committee also asked Zheng Zhiwei in a telegram asking him to inform Lin Xiaoyu of the news that the Beiping Army had sent an advance force south through secret channels as soon as possible, so that in the event of an emergency, the other party could cooperate with Wang Feng and the "southbound advance group" to ensure the safety of the lives and property of Lin Xiaoyu's mother and son and the Chai royal family, and to protect the lives of the important officials of the Later Zhou court as much as possible if conditions permit.
