Chapter Forty-Eight: The Divine Decree Has Arrived

Why did Da Ming have trouble with the remnant yuan before.

On the one hand, the remnant yuan has a certain military strength, which actually affects the security of the Ming Dynasty. Had to fight.

On the other hand, there is the question of legitimacy.

If the previous dynasty is not destroyed, how can this dynasty be said to be orthodox.

But the latter problem has changed since He Xi arrived.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood from a higher historical perspective, and was no longer interested in the so-called legitimacy of the Ming Dynasty. He Xi set off a discussion of denying the orthodoxy of the former Yuan, and in recent years, it has spread to many places in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, He Xi established the Mingjian Hall in the name of repairing history. Many historical talents have been cultivated.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang has never stopped rebuilding the history of the Yuan Dynasty.

It's just the first time to repair the history of the Yuan, and it's too bad. Moreover, the Liao, Jin, and Song history of the former Yuan Dynasty were not much better. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang is brewing a major revision of history, retelling all the history from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty.

So when to do this thing?

It depends on when Zhu Yuanzhang will reform drastically. These two things are linked.

Retelling historical narratives is itself a kind of struggle for discourse.

Since the question of legitimacy does not exist. That pre-element is a purely military issue. From a military point of view, the former yuan has been crippled. Don't say five years, even within ten years, it is difficult to threaten Daming.

Daming has more important things to do, and that is to change the law. Let Daming transform into what he saw in the video.

Then the Liaodong pilot is very important.

Its importance is greater than that of the Northern Yuan.

The destruction of Goryeo is the pilot preparation population in Liaodong. Needless to say, what to do. In fact, in this matter, in the imperial court, there are many people who support Feng Sheng's idea. felt that it was not easy to beat the remnant yuan like this, so he should take advantage of the victory to pursue him, take advantage of his illness, and kill him.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's authority cannot be shaken.

Zhu Yuanzhang's decision-making matter, no one can change it.

So, when Feng Sheng and Lan Yu were playing. Someone from outside came to report. But I saw a brocade guard colonel, dusty, and after coming in, he saluted first. Then he opened a cylinder with a similar calligraphy and painting behind him, took out the holy decree from the middle, held it high above his head, stood facing south, and said in a loud voice; "The Divine Decree has arrived."

Feng Sheng and Lan Yu immediately stood up and saluted.

Colonel Jinyiwei first asked Feng Sheng and Lan Yu to inspect the fire paint of the holy decree, and then opened it and said: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: There is a small country in Haidong today. Don't read my grace, take advantage of the northern expedition of the army, invade my border, fortunately there are loyal ministers, forget their lives, so that the clown who jumps the beam, can not go further west, but the power of heaven is not defiled. He will be reviled and not subordinate, so as to set an example. Yongchang Hou Lanyu, my son and nephew. Worship the general of Zhengdong, control Liaodong, Shandong military power. He Xi, the governor of Liaodong, and my son-in-law, added the history of the governor of the Eastern General's Mansion, hoping that the two would cooperate sincerely. Live up to my hopes, my will. ”

After reading it aloud, Colonel Jinyiwei immediately presented the holy decree with both hands and said, "Two of you will take the decree." ”

Lan Yu reached out and took it.

Feng Sheng snorted coldly and said, "You already knew that this was coming today?" ”

Lan Yu said: "I am going to talk to Guogong for two days. ”

Feng Sheng didn't believe it, but Lan Yu's actions today could be regarded as moving back from Feng Sheng, but he offended Feng Sheng miserably. Today, Lan Yu gained face, but it would be difficult for Feng Sheng to cooperate with Lan Yu in the future. After all, many things are sophistication, not victory or defeat.

Feng Sheng said with a sneer; "Since Your Majesty has entrusted this matter to General Zhengdong, although the general will do it, I will obey my orders. Who do you want to transfer, it's just a sentence, but I remind you that the reason why I don't want to move troops in Liaodong is because the people of Liaodong have made great efforts this year. From He Xi's arrival last year to the present, repairing the Liaodong River, repairing roads, escorting grain and grass, and digging canals, everything requires manpower. However, manpower is sometimes poor. ”

"Of course, General Zhengdong, you can not listen to it, so you can do it yourself."

After speaking, Feng Sheng brushed his sleeves and left.

Feng Sheng was certainly angry in his heart, but he was more confused and uneasy.

The doubt is that he can't figure it out. Why did the imperial court suddenly make such a decision? That's what makes him uneasy.

This time Lan Yu won face, but it didn't matter. Some people are getting older. The more they want face, because they just have face when they live. But some people don't care about that. For example, Feng Sheng, he doesn't care about face.

What he cares about is that this time he didn't judge the direction of the court. So much so that he lost face in front of Lan Yu. What about next time?

What went wrong?

After he left Beijing, what happened in Nanjing?

That's what he desperately wants to know.

Without Feng Sheng's obstruction. Lan Yu formed the Eastern Army very quickly. First of all, Lan Yu transferred his headquarters and transported them to the Yalu River from the sea route first, to prevent the enemy from coming from the Yalu River, at least until the arrival of the army, not to let the Goryeo people cross the Yalu River.

Lan Yu didn't wait for the various departments to prepare, he took the first step himself, turned to the Liao River by sea, and then entered the Hunhe River, and went directly to Shenyang to see He Xi.

Lan Yu knew that He Xi was important in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, and these things had already been explained when Zhu Yuanzhang told him about this matter. In the battle to destroy Goryeo, the war was of course important. But what happened after the war was more important. Therefore, in the matter of Goryeo, he is the main one militarily, but more things are mainly based on He Xi.

And as Feng Sheng said. The logistics of this battle is Liaodong.

He Xi has spent more than half a year, and he has made Liaodong up and down He Xi's people. Don't discuss with He Xi. There are a lot of things that can't be pushed forward.

Therefore, as soon as Lan Yu decided to come down, he rushed to Liaodong to discuss with He Xi.

He Xi was taken aback when he heard this. Subconsciously said: "So fast? ”

Lan Yu said: "Why, didn't you start with Goryeo?" ”

He Xi slandered in his heart: "This Ye Shen, I have to beat him with a hundred boards." ”

This was not He Xi's original intention, it was made out by Ye Shen. But the people behind are not very clear about things at the front. But they know people. Take a look at the recital. First of all, who is this Ye Shen? After checking, ah, Ye Wang's son has been a personal guard for He Xi. It's He Xi's people.

Then this thing must have been instructed by He Xi. He Xi must have seen the fighter plane when he did this.

So Lan Yu believed He Xi's judgment and went to play chess with Feng Sheng in a hurry. Zhu Yuanzhang believed in He Xi and Lan Yu's judgment, and directly issued a holy decree.

If it weren't for He Xi's face, in the holy decree, he would not mention Ye Shen's matter alone.

But in He Xi's opinion, at this time, it is really not suitable for war.

The reason is simple. Winter is not far off.

Winter in Liaodong, no, winter in Goryeo, is not a season suitable for war. If you don't believe, go see Changjin Lake. In that winter, when a large army is dispatched, I don't know how many people will freeze to death.

The troops were dispatched in March this year, and the battle did not last long, only two months before and after, and when the river was repaired, it was only three months, and now it is already the Mid-Autumn Festival in August. It's time for a layer of autumn rain and a layer of cold. Moreover, winter in the Northeast comes early, and it is estimated that it will snow in October.

It is only a month or two, fifty to sixty days. What can be done in this short period of time? The pace of warfare in ancient times was very slow.

It is estimated that the army can be assembled on the banks of the Yalu River, which is already good.

But Lan Yu got everything done in a hurry, and he had already hung up the title of General Zhengdong, and he was about to move his troops, and He Xi couldn't say that it was an accident. He Xi turned around in his heart and said lightly: "I didn't think about it so fast, I thought that if the imperial court could pass this winter, it would be very fast." At the beginning of spring next year, it is not too late to officially mobilize troops. ”

Lan Yu counted his fingers and said, "There is not enough time. That's not a reason for us not to do it, though. It's always a dozen first. It is necessary to give an explanation to the government and the opposition. That's why I'm here. There are times when there is a war in which there is no urgency. But there are some things that also have to be fought for the rear. You know what I mean? ”

He Xi naturally understands that it is the so-called political battle? Zhu Yuanzhang gave the order to send troops against public opinion, and there must always be some victories on the front line, so that Zhu Yuanzhang's face is bright.
