There is a lot of joy in the imperial city of Jinling, and after the winter festival, the New Year is prepared.

But at the same time, Beiliang and Liangjing are full of complaints.

It was only because Luo Yang and Wan Yiming joined forces to fight against the water that Emperor Liang was panicked, and under the persuasion of the Ministry of War, Emperor Liang attacked the generals near the Gyeonggi station.

He wants to replace all the important generals with loyal henchmen, or simply parachute a member of the royal family to control them.

The incident in Gyeonggi Province made Emperor Liang already a frightened bird, for fear that any of his generals would turn against him, and suddenly stab him in the back.

Therefore, even the loyal commander of the Liangjing Forbidden Army was sent a supervising army.

Chen Zhi!

This royal general, who spent 200,000 taels of silver on the royal family and ransomed it from Fang Jue, became the actual controller of the forbidden army at the moment.

The former commander of the forbidden army was temporarily dismissed.

It's just because Emperor Liang is no longer able to trust others, and Chen Zhi is the only one in the royal family who can be regarded as a good fighter.

When the news came to Mocheng, Luo Yang was meeting with Wan Yiming, and he got the news when he celebrated that night.

"Okay, Chen Zhi led the forbidden army, laughed at me, God helped me!" When Luo Yang heard the news, he was overjoyed.

Wan Yiming said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know how to use soldiers at all, and he changed generals in battle, and he was replaced by a waste, it seems that I scared him." ”

Luo Yang laughed: "What I want is this effect, so that he doesn't dare to trust anyone, and then he makes frequent tricks, and it is natural to lose people's hearts." ”

Emperor Liang has now lost his sense of proportion, and he has done things regardless of the overall situation, and just wants to appease his panicked heart.

The two people in Mozhou City were already overjoyed, and Emperor Liang's commotion was more than that.

"I heard that Emperor Lao'er has ordered that all the soldiers and horses in the east be transferred to King Qin." In case Ming reminded Luo Yang, this was the news he got when he was leaving.

"The soldiers and horses in the east should already be on the way, and we will be blocked before we reach Gyeonggi Province."

Luo Yang nodded: "You always have to fight a few battles, otherwise how can you deter this group of soldiers?" ”

"It's just that once the troops and horses on the Eastern Front are withdrawn, the coastal zone will be coveted by the East China Sea State, and it is inevitable that it will be cold to lose a few state capitals." In case Ming shook his head.

Why is it said that Emperor Liang is a stupid move, the reason is very simple, the East China Sea Kingdom will definitely send troops to occupy the coast.

At that time, Beiliang will not be able to go to sea, Beiliang only has a coastline in the East China Sea, and if you want to go to sea, you have to take a detour to Xichu.

The East China Sea Kingdom took the opportunity to rise, and the living space of Beiliang would be further weakened.

Without the coastal state capitals and the inability to go to sea for large-scale fishing, the food crisis in Beiliang will be even more serious, and without the high customs taxes on the coast, the economy will also decline.

Originally, the internal rebellion war had to pay a big price, so it was a twenty-year waste work in Beiliang.

However, at this moment, Emperor Liang doesn't care about these anymore, he just wants to pacify the Luoyang Rebellion, otherwise the royal family will be wiped out.

Since ancient times, the royal family that has successfully won the world is difficult to escape, and in order to keep the royal family, Emperor Liang can no longer take care of the overall situation of the world in Beiliang.

"The soldiers and horses along the eastern front, even the cavalry can't muster a battalion of 10,000 households, what threat can there be." Luo Hao said proudly on the side.

Luo Yang: "Don't be careless, the Liangwu soldiers on the eastern front are famous all over the world, if we stick to the pass city, we may not be able to please." ”

In case of Ming: "If someone on the eastern front echoes us and helps us stop the Liang Wu soldiers, it will only take a month for us to attack the Jingshi!" ”

Three or four hundred miles, dozens of city gates, in the eyes of the two of them are nothing.

In case Ming killed all the way, he had already destroyed many passes, and he couldn't repair them in a short time, unless the imperial court sent more than 100,000 troops to fight them in the plains.

But this is winter, and Luoyang never talks about martial arts when he fights.

"If I were the emperor's old son, I would definitely gather the army of King Qin in Gyeonggi Province and wait for work." Wan Yi Ming said suddenly.

"But does he still have a working general?" Luo Yang said disdainfully.

Wan Yiming smiled: "Lu Wei, the chief soldier of Gyeonggi Province, is considered a threat, so I killed him before leaving." ”

Whether it is Wan Yiming or Luo Yang, his subordinates are like clouds, and they are all in the rebel army at the moment.

And Emperor Liang usually suppresses military attachés, and there is no one available at this moment.

"If nothing else, does he still have military rations?" In case Ming laughed, "I burned down two granaries in Gyeonggi Province, but unfortunately a few of them are too far away for me to grow." ”

"It's enough, such a loss, even if the power of the entire imperial court is used, it can't be made up in a short time."

"I have an idea...... Luo Yang suddenly thought of something.

In case Ming: "Tell me about it?" ”

"At this moment, the emperor Lao'er must plan to Chen Bing Gyeonggi Province and fight us...... We will slow down, plundering and accumulating grain and grass along the way......"

Seeing Luo Yang smiling playfully, Wan Yiming understood: "What do you mean, no matter how many soldiers he makes, he will be hungry in Gyeonggi Province, and too many troops will inevitably lead to internal contradictions......

They are both veterans who use soldiers, and the two glanced at each other and immediately hit it off.

"It's too risky to attack the capital now, it's better to close the Heishui area first and confront Liangjing with Heishui."

Luo Yang said: "The eastern front is occupied, and Gyeonggi Province is not rich in grain, so we just need to take the southeast waterway...... The capital can only sit and eat empty. ”

The grain of Beiliang mainly comes from nomadism, fishing, hunting and farming, and there is also the import of grain from the East China Sea and the Western Chu State by sea and the western route.

Now that the western route and the southwest are under Luoyang's control, the imperial court on the East China Sea side will automatically give up, and the East China Sea Kingdom will inevitably cut off the coastline of Beiliang......

As for farming, this is winter, and the grain has already been harvested, and after it is collected in the state treasury, it is distributed to the yamen and garrisons at all levels.

"Don't forget, there are also some grain merchants, their strength should not be underestimated." In case Ming reminded Luo Yang.

In the vicinity of Liangjing, there are many grain merchants' grain storage warehouses, and these things will be of great use at critical moments.

Luo Yang was upset: "I almost forgot about these profiteers." ”

"Brother, there is one more thing, our military salary should be paid." Luo Hao also said.

"What's so difficult about that, the treasury silver of the state capital along the way is used to pay for the army."

……

It has been the 24th since Luoyang raised his army.

After the city of Mozhou fell into the hands of the rebels, the area around Beiliang Heishui has been choked, and the waterway is difficult to access.

Ignoring the dissuasion of the military department and the household department, Emperor Liang gathered all the soldiers and horses on the eastern front and the north, and called on King Qin of Gyeonggi Province.

Although there were not many people who responded, there were also loyal ministers and good generals who rushed to the vicinity of Gyeonggi Province in the night after receiving the news.

But they were all told that they were not allowed to approach the capital, and they could only be stationed outside a state.

This operation suddenly cooled a lot of people's hearts.

In the early court, Emperor Liang looked at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and saw that no one had a strategy to retreat from the enemy, and he was immediately extremely disappointed.

"Your Majesty, the East China Sea defense line came to report, as soon as our army left, the East China Sea invaded and occupied Yuzhou and Lizhou by boat...... The soldiers who stayed behind suffered heavy losses and could no longer hold on. "The secretary of the military department came out of the class, and said helplessly.

"What?" Emperor Liang said angrily, "The East China Sea Kingdom and my Northern Liang have been friends for a hundred years, and there was a gentleman's agreement back then, but now they are so shamelessly tearing up the treaty?" ”

Hearing this, although the ministers were also annoyed, they were more lamented by His Majesty's innocence.

Between countries, there can be no real gentlemen's agreement, and all treaties can be torn up in an instant in the face of immediate interests.

Who hasn't done this kind of thing?

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing......

Under the gesture of the eyes of the military department Shangshu, the household department Shangshu came out of the class and said: "There are more and more soldiers and horses rushing to King Qin, military food is a problem, and there is a reward......

"The imperial court has its own rules, isn't it okay to follow the ancestral system?" Emperor Liang said, I feel that I have to ask myself everything, what do you want.

Hubu Shangshu said lightly: "Your Majesty, Hubu has no money. ”

"What?"

Emperor Liang was shocked: "Why is there no money?" ”

"In my Liangguo for many years, there has been no large-scale extravagant expenditure, and there have been no major projects for many years after the black water dredging, and the external attack has also returned with a full load...... Why is there no money? ”

Emperor Liang was suspicious, his face was full of cold anger, and he almost pointed to the nose of the Hubu Shangshu and asked if he was corrupt.

Faced with such a question, Hubu Shangshu said bluntly: "My Liangguo has no deep roots, and I have no background, Your Majesty...... Over the years, the imperial court has owed a lot of debts for disaster relief, and it has only gradually been paid off in recent years, so there is no money left. ”

"Why don't you save some silver taels, just in case?"

Emperor Liang knew that he owed a lot of money to Taishan Qianzhuang, not only did he owe, but since Emperor Daxia had no shame in taking out loans, where did the rest of the countries still care about face.

Although Beiliang has a large geographical boundary, it has a small population, so it usually consumes less, and of course, it is also economically sluggish.

The geographical environment is limited, the land is large but not rich, relying on maritime business and plundering Daxia, these years have been quite prosperous.

The common people like nomadic fishing and hunting, and although farming is valued, it does not force the people in many areas to be reluctant to farm.

Because they felt that farming was too slow, it was better to do business or plunder quickly.

But as a result, there is no real family background.
