A great victory for the Northern Army!
The haze that pressed on Emperor Yongtai's head disappeared without a trace, and the heavy pressure in his heart was instantly removed.
He laughed out loud, and his heart was full of joy.
The victory came at a better time.
At this time, when he was about to be unable to withstand the pressure exerted by the official family, the victory of the Northern Army was like a shot in the arm, which instantly made him full of confidence.
Intransigence!
No compromise!
The Northern Army won, and he did not need to compromise with the official family.
He's going to fight to the end!
He wanted to take advantage of the great victory of the Northern Army to take down the official families who frequently opposed him in one go.
He wants to become the first Ming monarch of the Great Wei Dynasty, sweep away the family in one fell swoop, and return the world to a bright future.
He firmly believed that if the Northern Army could win the first time, it would be able to win the second time.
There will be a succession of victories to follow.
As for this year's weather, whether it is drought or good weather, he is not worried.
As long as the Northern Army can continue to win, as long as it can suppress the family, even if there is a drought for three or five years, the imperial court will have money and food for disaster relief.
Emperor Yongtai, who had confidence, ordered Jin Wuwei to go out and search for officials and children of the family all over the world.
Its behavior is so arrogant, ferocious, and harsh that even ordinary people can't stand it.
Will the Maison stand and be beaten obediently?
Dream!
Standing and obediently beaten, that is impossible.
For the first time, a conflict broke out between the family and Jin Wuwei.
The family's private army directly pulled out the guy and beat Jin Wuwei out.
In the past, the struggle between the family and the emperor and Jin Wuwei was generally carried out in private.
Everyone is still a courtier of the court, so naturally they have to obey the emperor's orders, and they are also polite to Jin Wuwei, and they will not tear their faces directly.
However, in the face of Jin Wuwei, who is as crazy as a mad dog, and in the face of the emperor who will never compromise, the family can no longer be polite on the surface.
If you don't agree with each other, you can start fighting directly.
For more than 100 years in the Great Wei Dynasty, there were few cases of wars between the family and the imperial court.
At least in the last hundred years, I have not heard of it.
But this time, the family broke the tradition of nearly a hundred years, broke the harmony on the surface, and the two sides went straight to work.
stab the window paper, don't want to lose face, gamble the lives of tens of thousands of people, and do it to the end.
There are many powerful families, and the families who fight with the court are not one family with one surname.
Moreover, in private, there are top families leading the campaign, and more and more families have joined this anti-Jin Wuwei and anti-emperor move.
It's almost like raising the flag and rebelling.
Emperor Yongtai was full of ambition, looking forward to the second big victory of the Northern Army, and looking forward to the day when all the anti-thieves in the world were exterminated.
However, the fruits of victory have not yet been tasted, and bad news has followed.
The rebels who have been pacified have revived.
In the originally peaceful place, some people raised flags to rebel and directly took the granary of the government.
is already a place where there are anti-thieves, and the scale of anti-thieves is getting bigger and bigger, and the weapons are getting better and better.
It was obviously mixed with soldiers with good military quality, and they were already able to fight head-on battles with the regular army of the imperial court.
It's dry!
The drizzle drifted for a long time, and the street was not even drenched.
The world is full of smoke, God looks at the dishes and chopsticks, and the original good situation is lost in a blink of an eye.
Emperor Yongtai was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of decades-old blood.
"What does the Northern Army eat? There are so many anti-thieves, why didn't the Northern Army move? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, there are only 10,000 soldiers in the Northern Army fighting abroad, and they have been dragged back by the thieves. The current situation is that the thieves are all over the east, west, north and south, and the trouble is getting worse and worse. Relying on the Northern Army alone, I am afraid that it will not be able to suppress this group of arrogant anti-thieves. For the sake of today's plan, the only way to do this is to activate local armaments and let local generals send troops to quell the chaos. ”
Emperor Yongtai was silent.
Local military generals, like the world's families, are all big troubles.
Before, the princes and kings made such a big fuss, and the anti-thieves made such a big fuss, and Emperor Yongtai had been pressuring the local generals and not allowing them to send troops.
In order to prevent local generals from taking the opportunity to expand their territory and armaments, the court could not suppress it.
The combat effectiveness of the Northern Army is invincible in the world.
In the past, whenever there was a war, as long as the northern army was sent out, the problem could be solved.
But this time, the smoke is everywhere, and there is no calm land in the southeast and northwest.
The Northern Army was limited in numbers and could no longer take full responsibility.
Why is the number of Northern troops so small?
Because the Northern Army is a rare elite soldier in the world.
Every soldier is piled up with a lot of money and grain.
A soldier's annual expenses are less than 70 or 80 yuan, and more than 100 yuan.
Tens of thousands of soldiers, the military expenditure for raising soldiers alone is millions of dollars a year.
If you go out to fight, you have to double the cost.
With such a high cost of raising soldiers, it can support twenty or thirty thousand soldiers of the Northern Army all year round, and the burden of the court and the emperor can be imagined.
The emperor also wanted to expand the size of the northern army, but his financial resources were limited.
Even if the Shaofu bears more than half of the military spending, the size of the Northern Army has reached the limit and can no longer be expanded.
As a result, the Northern Army can fight hard battles and hard battles, but it can only fight local wars.
Like now, the anti-thieves who are blooming on all sides are not able to catch the northern army.
In war, it is most taboo to divide troops.
The Northern Army is already small in number, and once it is divided, it may be broken by each other.
The troops are in one place, but because of the complex terrain and the family's trouble-making ventilation and reporting, the efficiency of quelling the chaos is not high.
Often, just after the thieves in the east have been destroyed, there is a disturbance in the west.
The west is extinguished, and the thieves in the east have begun to resurrect again.
The Northern Army was exhausted.
At this time, it is necessary to activate the garrison of local generals.
However, Emperor Yongtai has a weak heart!
"If you activate local armaments, will you be able to suppress them after the war?"
The general of the Northern Army did not dare to pack the ticket, he could not afford this consequence.
He said cautiously: "If only some local generals make trouble after the war, the Northern Army will definitely be able to exterminate them." ”
However, in case local generals in various localities take the opportunity to expand their territory and armaments, relying on the northern army alone will also be insufficient.
This is also where Emperor Yongtai is worried.
For example, Shi Wen, Marquis of Pingwu, divided the north and south with Hou Yan of Guangning, and at the same time attacked the imperial court, did the northern army dare to divide troops to deal with it?
I'm afraid that before the battle of Hou Yan of Guangning has been destroyed, Hou Shiwen of Pingwu has already reached the capital.
By the Southern Army?
The combat strength of the Southern Army was less than half that of the Northern Army.
Why?
Because the Southern Army was raised by the queen, the annual military expenditure was less than one-third of that of the Northern Army.
If you want to train elite soldiers, you have to rely on money.
If you practice every day, you have to keep the soldiers fed and well-fed.
Meat should be served every day.
You need money to buy all of this!
If you don't have money, you can only practice every three days, or every five days.
Where can a soldier who exercises every five days compare to a soldier who trains every day?
People practice 30 days a month, and you practice 6 days a month, which is a qualitative difference.
After half a year, he was thrown out of a distance of 100 streets by people who practiced every day.
In the final analysis, the emperor just didn't pay attention to the southern army.
The Southern Army traces back to its roots, there are stains, and there is a black history.
Since then, it has been abandoned and suppressed.
The black history of the Southern Army comes from one of the most famous generals in the history of the Southern Army, who lost the battle and was captured. After that, he surrendered with the Southern Army and became an enemy army.
With such a black history, the Southern Army has not been completely abolished, it is already the grace of the imperial court.
However, since then, the southern army, which was once as famous as the northern army, has become more and more miserable, and it is typical that it was raised by a maid.
Xiao Yat also caught up with the time.
When fighting the princes and kings of the world, the southern army took advantage of the situation to recover a little vitality, regained combat strength, and also received full military funds from the imperial court.
It's just that compared with the baby son Beijun, the gap is still obvious.
In Emperor Yongtai's mind, the best army to guard against local generals was the Northern Army.
It's just that, in this way, the northern army not only has to quell the rebels, but also has to guard against local generals, and the task is very heavy!
After thinking about it, Emperor Yongtai finally made a decision.
"Order the southern army to go out of Beijing to quell the chaos and summon the northern army back to Beijing. In addition, he ordered the local generals to garrison and send troops to quell the chaos. After the rebels have subsided, the local generals must return to the camp quickly and not stay outside for a long time. ”
It's not a good thing for the army to go out and stay outside.
If you are not careful, the harm is ten times greater than that of anti-thieves.
The harm caused to the local area by raiding homes and robbing houses is far stronger than a group of rabble anti-thieves.
As soon as the decree was issued, the generals of the world moved.
……
Xiao Yi received the order and prepared to lead the army out of Beijing.
Before leaving Beijing, Xiao Yi went to Dongping Palace.
He said to Xiao Guo, the king of Dongping: "The whereabouts of the Qin family and Xiao Xun, I already have a bit of an eyebrow. For the time being, their mother and son are protected, and I can't even touch them. However, the Qin family, this time I will destroy the Qin family first. ”
Xiao Guo was taken aback, "Are you sure you want to destroy the Qin family?" Aren't you afraid that people will impeach you and say that you have a personal vendetta? ”
Xiao Yi laughed, "I'm a personal vendetta." Sending troops to fight, not doing some personal things, not falling into a handle, do you think the emperor can rest assured? ”
Xiao Guo instantly understood, "Are you worried that the emperor is guarding against you?" ”
"The emperor guards against everyone, except the general of the Northern Army."
Beijun is his own son, absolutely loyal to the emperor, and an absolute confidant of Emperor Yongtai.
Otherwise, the Northern Army would have killed the royal family and killed so many people, and if they were replaced by someone else, they would have been pushed out to confess and kill the nine clans.
That is, the Northern Army, the emperor reprimanded and punished the matter.
Typical attitude towards the baby's own son, heavy lifting and gently putting down.
Xiao Guo asked him, "Is it dangerous to go out of Beijing this time?" ”
Xiao Yi smiled, "How can it be safe to fight, the danger must be dangerous." But the danger does not come from the thief, but from the family's hidden arrows. Be careful! The official family is forced to be in a hurry, and they will definitely take the opportunity to kill the royal family, and maybe even enter the palace.
The Jinwuwei Imperial Prison is already full of people, and if the emperor orders the killing of the imprisoned officials, you quickly call it sick to the outside world, and everyone in the palace is not allowed to go out except for the procurement personnel. In case there is a threat, you can ask the fourth girl Yan from the Zhuyang County Lord's Mansion for help. ”
"Yan Yunge?"
Xiao Guo looked confused, "She is a girl's family, I am looking for her for help?" ”
Are you kidding.
Xiao Yi said: "You just have to ask her for help." Don't underestimate her just because she's a girl, she can save your life at a critical moment. ”
"Really?"
"If you believe me, listen to my plan. If you don't believe me, then you will die! This letter and this jade pendant are tokens, remember to keep them, don't let people know. ”
------Off topic------
Yuan Bao is sick.
I was very uncomfortable last night, and I went to bed early without a codeword.
I thought I would get better by getting some sleep.
Outcome......
I got up early this morning, prepared to code, and when I looked in the mirror, half of my face was swollen like a pig's head, and the corners of my mouth were blistered, swollen like sausages.
There's no way to go out and meet people.
My throat hurts and my neck is swollen.
I couldn't code the word, so I went to the hospital early.
I waited for the doctor to see a doctor, and I was busy until noon before I came back.
Then start today's codeword update task.
Now, Yuan Bao has taken medicine, although he is a little sleepy, fortunately, he is not as uncomfortable as in the morning.
Continue with the codeword.
By the way, ask for a monthly pass.
