Chapter 118: The Army of Half a Million and the Divine Decree Is a Joke?
"Qi Butang think about it, don't mess with the public with your own interests, if you have any opinions, you can ask Cao Guogong in person, I'll wait for your news." After Huang Zicheng said this, he turned around and ran.
What? Qi Tai reacted at this time, what do you mean? I don't have a personal grudge against Li Jinglong.
Seeing Huang Zicheng leaving, Qi Tai was half dead in anger, if he wasn't still in the imperial city, he really wanted to shout at him to stop.
"Qi Bu Tang." Wei Guogong Xu Huizu had already followed quickly at this time.
The concubine Mei Yin was also there, Qi Tai turned his head to look at them, and the three of them looked at each other for a moment, and sighed at the same time, feeling a sense of powerlessness.
"Let's go." Qi Tai motioned for everyone to go out, chatting while walking out of the imperial city.
"How many soldiers and horses can the imperial court have this time?" Xu Huizu asked.
"About half a million." After Qi Tai finished speaking, he hurriedly added: "I have to add the previous one." ”
There are still tens of thousands of Zhending Imperial Court in front, Xu Kai of Hejian Mansion still has 100,000, and more than half of the 300,000 troops last time are there.
Xu Huizu actually wanted to ask, why didn't Xu Kai send troops last time?
But there is no point in saying that now.
King Yan's soldiers and horses are also stationed in various places, some places can not be lost, Xu Kai sat in the river, did not dare to move easily, and did not seek merit, but asked for no fault, and Geng Bingwen did not order him to attack at that time.
If this Xu Kai is replaced by Li Bin, Xu Zhong and other generals on King Yan's side, he will definitely divide his troops and fight King Yan's fart.
Of course, Xu Huizu took into account Xu Kai's ability, if Xu Kai really dared to lead his troops out of the river, it was possible to be surrounded by King Yan to send reinforcements.
Qi Tai and Mei Yin didn't speak, knowing that Xu Huizu was thinking about it.
The three of them were silent for a moment, and Xu Huizu said.
"Considering that the imperial court still has to defend various places, it can only use about 400,000 men and horses at most on the frontal battlefield."
Zitai nodded.
"Although Yan Wei won a big victory, the number of troops is limited, and he also has to defend all places, and the frontal investment will be up to 100,000 horses."
"It doesn't matter who the leader is, although Cao Guogong is incompetent." Xu Huizu directly said that Li Jinglong was incompetent, and Qi Tai and Mei Yin could only smile bitterly.
"But as long as he doesn't make mistakes, follows the steps step by step, approaches layer by layer, doesn't divide the troops without authorization, and then sends good generals to cooperate with him, he still has a good chance of winning."
"In addition, let Liaodong Wu Gao and Yang Wen split up and attack together, disperse Yan Wei's forces, and the advantage of the imperial court will be greater and greater."
Qi Tai hurriedly asked, "What else?" ”
"Guo Ying can be a deputy general, he has rich experience and can stabilize the morale of the army."
"Reuse some good generals, such as Sheng Yong, Ping'an, Qu Neng, etc., all have great talents--"
Xu Huizu also saw that the emperor didn't want to use him, and he didn't want to waste time, so he let Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai fight for a few days, so he could only retreat and say some of his thoughts, trying to reduce the difficulty for Li Jinglong.
The horse Mei Yin wanted to speak and stopped.
Qi Tai Yuguang saw it and hurriedly asked, "Can Mei Ju Ma make up for it?" ”
Mei Yin thought for a while and smiled bitterly: "I have only worked in Shandong to study politics, and I am proficient in economics and history. ”
"Hey" Qi Tai let out a long sigh, and at this time they had already walked out of the imperial city.
He looked back at the gate of the imperial city in the distance, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
The beautiful country of the Ming Empire, do you actually want to hope for a Li Jinglong?
Considering that there was no commander in front of him, Qi Tai was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he didn't dare to waste time arguing with Huang Zicheng, and decided to compromise with Huang Zicheng at the suggestion of Xu Huizu.
However, he made a few suggestions to Huang Zicheng, and he must take Guo Ying and Qu Neng and other generals to transfer Ma Mei Yin to prepare the army for battle, Huang Zicheng was overjoyed, and of course agreed one by one.
In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen officially issued an order, appointing the governor of the Zuojun Mansion, the crown prince Taifu, and Li Jinglong, the prince of Cao Guogong, as the general of the conquest, and the commander-in-chief of the Yan Dynasty, Guo Ying as the general of the left, replacing Li Jian, and transferred the Sichuan capital to command Qu Neng's father and son to rush to the aid, and Gao Wei, the former military governor's office, and Shi Liu Jing (Liu Ji's second son), the governor of the Guwang Mansion, accompanied the military counselor.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were requisitioned from Shandong, Jiangnan, Henan, Huguang, and Anhui, plus 500,000 soldiers and horses in the early stage, and Yan was cut down again.
At the same time, according to Qi Tai's opinion, let the concubine Meiyin guard Huai'an and make overall preparations for war.
Huai'an is the most important strategic place of the Jiangnan waterway, from Huai'an to the waterway, extending in all directions, the north can go to Shandong, the south can go to Beijing, the west can enter Henan and Huguang, Mei Yin's task in addition to guarding Huai'an, but also responsible for hoarding follow-up soldiers and horses, ready to support the front at any time.
Because at this time, the Ming Dynasty was mobilizing the whole country, and the troops and horses of each capital were dispatched, and some of them were too far away, such as Fujian and Guangzhou, which were still on the way, and they would be unified at that time, or they would gather in Huai'an, or go directly to Linqing.
The imperial court has made up its mind to gather the strength of the whole country to destroy the Yan rebellion.
After the holy decree was issued, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military shouted long live, and many people heard that the army of 500,000 was in high spirits, and they already felt that Yan Yi was going to be crushed by the imperial army effortlessly.
After the ministers were flattened, someone suddenly walked to the middle, knelt in front of the emperor, and said that there was a music.
Everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be Gao Wei, the counselor of the army.
Gao Wei wrote and said: "The minister wishes to make Yan." Wearing loyalty and courage, Chen Yili, knowing the blessings and blessings, feeling the friendship of relatives, and making the truce return. ”
At that time, Qi Tai's face turned black.
Hundreds of thousands of troops in the imperial court are ready to go, and a large amount of grain and grass is also gathering at the Longjiangguan wharf, what do you say to persuade peace at this time?
But what Qi Tai didn't expect was that Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen had the same reaction as in the original history, and after thinking about it, he actually agreed.
Gao Wei's book was ridiculous enough after the Holy Decree to cut down Yan, but Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen also agreed, which made Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai dumbfounded on the spot, and many civil and military forces in the court were also dumbfounded, and many people felt that the Holy Decree and the 500,000 army in front of them were like playing at home.
Qi Tai turned his head and just looked at Xu Huizu, and a bad premonition surged in their hearts at the same time.
----
In a courtyard in Beiping City, Jing Qing had just returned home from the Yamen of the Political Envoy.
Before King Yan raised troops, he was the left senator under the political envoy of Beiping, from the fourth product, because he had chatted with King Yan a few times, King Yan Jue's words were clear and very appreciative.
After King Yan raised his army, he and Guo Zi, Mo Lin and others were the first to surrender, and they were soon reused by King Yan.
Guo Zi was appointed as the political envoy of Beiping, and Jing Qing was appointed as the left deputy capital of the imperial history, and they were promoted together.
As soon as Jingqing returned home on this day, he asked people to summon two nephews, Liu Gu and Liu Guo.
"Uncle." The two brothers stepped forward to meet Jingqing.
Jing Qing walked outside the door, carefully looked at the courtyard, and made sure that there was no one outside, so he closed the door, and then walked to the inner room.
The two brothers followed into the back room.
"What's going on out there?" Jing Qing asked at this time.
Liu Gu said: "We just took the waterway to bring some grain and salt, and at the last moment when we got on the boat, I heard that the imperial court had decided to close the water post road. ”
Jing Qing was dumbfounded: "It's been almost two months since the Water Post Road was closed?" ”
What did the princes of the imperial court think?
Jing Qing was only a civilian official, and he also knew that if the two countries were at war, they would inevitably find ways to restrain each other in all aspects.
"The land route can still be taken, and it is said that it is also so that more people and officials in the north can escape from Beiping." Liu Guo sighed.
The imperial court is now closed by water, but the land route is still not closed, and many bold businessmen dare to continue to trade with Beiping by land.
This will be able to transport things over, and they will all make a lot of money.
But in fact, there is another reason for not sealing the land route, that is, it cannot be blocked.
King Yan's soldiers and horses swept around in the north, and a small number of soldiers and horses in the imperial court went out to close the road to find death, so there are no officials and troops outside in the north now, and the officials and soldiers are all shrunk in the counties, states, and mansions.
The officers and soldiers did not dare to go out, and it was impossible to block it outside.
For example, in Shanxi on the west side of Hebei, the Datong official army could not defend it, because it was attacked by the Yan army once, and now it does not dare to come out.
Therefore, in Shanxi, ordinary people and businessmen can still come and go freely.
Hearing such news, Jing Qing was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he came back to his senses, and he thought for a while: "In that case, you two go directly to Jingshi, don't come back." ”
"Ah, when will Uncle and Shu'er leave?" The two brothers were in a hurry at the same time.
Jing Shu is Jingqing's daughter, she is very beautiful, and both brothers have a good impression of their cousin.
"Leave us alone, we've got our own arrangements." Jing Qing said in a deep voice: "You guys listen to it now, memorize what I said." ”
The two brothers had no choice but to forcibly write it down.
Jingqing and Fang Xiaoru have a good relationship, this will be preparing to let the two brothers bring a message to Fang Xiaoru, it turns out that he is a fake surrender.
"In the battle of Zhending, the king of Gaoyang County played an excellent role and swept thousands of troops, which has been greatly valued by King Yan."
"King Yan doesn't like the prince, but every time he goes on an expedition, he will let the prince calm Beiping, and the prince also knows that he doesn't like King Yan, so he may be jealous of the king of Gaoyang."
"You can learn from King Yan and buy the prince Zhu Gaochi."
Jingqing's meaning, you Yan Wang always used this trick to write a letter to the general of the Southern Army, which was used to separate them from the court, so Jingqing asked Fang Xiaoru to do the same, to separate the prince and the king of Yan.
This time, the king of Gaoyang County has made great contributions, and the king of Yan has praised Zhu Gaoxu in public many times, and the prince must not be happy in the past few days.
Jingqing said a lot of things about Beiping, and the two brothers listened to it three times before they completely wrote it down, and Jingqing asked them to repeat it again, and then nodded with satisfaction.
The next day, Jing Qing went out early in the morning with a little lady, who looked like she was only a teenager, and she was bright and moving, it was his daughter Jing Shu.
The two fathers and daughters broke up on a certain street, and Jingqing looked at her daughter: "Do you know what to do?"
"Father said it very clearly yesterday, Shu'er remembers." Jing Shu's face is still a little childish, but she is not slow or anxious when she speaks, she is very temperamental and demeanor, so that people can see that she is more educated.
"Be careful yourself." Jing Qing showed a complicated look in his eyes, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and strode away.
Jing Qing arrived at Jin Zhong's house early in the morning, and Jin Zhong was blocked at the door by him when he was about to go to King Yan's mansion.
Jin Zhong was surprised and asked him what was the matter, Jingqing said that he had a daughter, who was gentle and beautiful, and polite, and wanted to ask Jin Zhong to talk about the matchmaker, whether he could marry the prince Zhu Gaochi as a side concubine.
Jin Zhong laughed, I heard that Lord Jing's daughter is beautiful and fragrant, and she is stunning in Beiping, this is a good thing, this matter is on me, I will mention it to King Yan for you.
However, his tone changed again, Yuan Zhongche had just had an accident recently, even if it was raised, it would definitely not be possible to do it now, and it would take a while.
What Jin Zhong thought was that Zhu Gaoxu's bravery made him recognized by some generals in his army, so the prince needed a large number of ministers to assist, Jingqing was originally appreciated by King Yan, and if he could win it over, many former ministers of Jianwen in the Northern Plains would also support the prince.
Jingqing was overjoyed and expressed his gratitude.
