Chapter 52: The Northern Tour Begins
Chapter 52: The Northern Tour Begins
Zhu Xiongying was a little satisfied. Now, it is the joint stock company of Zhu Xiongying and He Xi. Zhu Xiongying also accepted this. As long as He Xi doesn't go too far, he is willing to maintain this situation.
Of course, it is necessary to expand one's own power. But it is not premised on destroying the relationship between the two.
Other things will be talked about after the world is settled.
Zhu Xiongying said: "I don't have any candidates, Xie Jin, Liu Jing, and then I am going to arrange a general to enter the cabinet, it is nothing more than Deng Zhen, or Qu Neng."
As soon as He Xi heard Qu Neng, he understood what Zhu Xiongying was thinking, and immediately said, "Your Highness is wise." After a slight pause, he said, "There is another person, what does Your Highness mean?"
Zhu Xiongying sighed slightly and said, "I don't know."
Zhu Xiongying and He Xi looked at each other, and couldn't help but sigh at each other, it turned out that there were not many people in the two of them.
He Xi said: "Then let this person go first, and ask His Highness to immediately issue an edict to determine the cabinet. With the minister as the first assistant, Yang Shiqi as the second assistant. Prepare for the Northern Tour."
Zhu Xiongying said, "So urgent?"
He Xi said: "Things in the world have never been urgent, and during this period of time, news came from the south that King Xia was mobilizing local officials and arranging his own manpower. The minister estimates that by the beginning of next year, Nanjing will be able to control the situation in the world, and when the time comes, it will be time for a large-scale attack."
"We don't have much time left."
In fact, there are some things that He Xi didn't say, and Zhu Xiongying also knew.
Fu Youde has arrived in Jinan, and is sorting out the remnants of Jinan's defeated generals, although he did not attack on a large scale, but sent several cavalry to the north, Ye Shen did not stay in the river to hold on, but north of the Yellow River, and Fu Youde's cavalry, fighting for several rounds. There is no difference between victory and defeat, and there are even victories.
It's just that this situation can't last long.
With Fu Youde in charge, the Beijing camp has arrived one after another, and in the autumn and winter of this year, the southern army can go north.
Even all the prefectures and counties south of the Hejian defense line will be lost.
Ye Shen was just stalling for time.
Therefore, now He Xi can't waste every day, and immediately go north, not only to eliminate the hidden dangers in the north, He Xi is also ready to send a Mongolian cavalry south. Although it is said that the advantage of cavalry on the battlefield will only become smaller and smaller in the future, the cavalry is still very useful now.
Zhu Xiongying said, "Okay."
After Zhu Xiongying discussed with He Xi, he immediately ordered that He Xi be appointed as the first assistant, Yang Shiqi as the second assistant and finance minister, Yang Zhen as the work minister, Xie Jin as the academic minister, Liu Jing as the university scholar, and Qu Tong as the military minister. Tell the world.
Tie Xuan was the governor of Hebei, Ye Shen was the general soldier of Hebei, and the two were responsible for the war on the southern front.
Let Yang Shiqi be the main one, responsible for the formation of the central government headed by the cabinet.
Zhu Xiongying and He Xi ordered 30,000 cavalry, went out of Xifengkou, and went to Daning City.
Along the way, there were no wars.
Although the Ming Dynasty migrated a lot of people here, the main ethnic group here is still the Mongols, but there are many Han officers in the upper class, and of course, there are many Mongolian generals. Truth be told, these people are the most honest.
Without him, the Ming Dynasty fought Mongolia for so many years and beat Mongolia the worst. It is precisely because they know how powerful the Ming force is, that they are the most peaceful. Of course. If the Southern army besieged the city of Beijing, these Mongols would turn their faces and even turn against each other without saying a word. But before that.
They won't do anything.
They will obey the strong, and as long as the strong never lose their throne, they will always obey, and they will obey only the strong, not a certain person.
Zhu Xiongying is dressed in armor and guarded by tens of thousands of cavalry, which has the style of King Yan. It is also the reason why these people dare not make mistakes.
These people did not use force against Beijing. But that doesn't mean it's over.
On the contrary, a lot of things are just beginning.
It's one thing for them not to confront Beijing, it's another to fight for Beijing. It is not easy to mobilize them, and in order to eliminate the possibility of these rebellions, Ho
Xi also has to make some personnel adjustments.
All in all, very busy.
Not only He Xi is busy, but Zhu Xiongying is also busy. Zhu Xiongying exerted his fraternity and pulled more than a dozen Mongolian girls to roll the sheets in a row, so more than a dozen Mongolian generals became relatives and were naturally loyal to Zhu Xiongying.
A group of tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry came to Zhu Xiongying's hands in this way.
After all, in the Ming Dynasty, the Xiao'er Jin family was defeated, and now the golden family on the grassland is the Zhu family. The Mongols recognized this, and even the Mongols were not alarmed by the war in the south. Is it nothing more than a seizure of the throne. How normal. In the history of the Mongols, not too much.
There are not too many examples of participating in it from the dragon.
At this time, He Xi suddenly heard a report from someone below, saying, "There is an old man who is coming to release."
He Xi was stunned for a moment and said, "Old man?" He didn't know which one it was, so he let him in. It's no one else. It was Lian Zining.
He Xi was taken aback and said, "Zi Ning."
Lian Zining looked at He Xi and saluted and said, "Teacher."
Lian Zining had countless things to say, and he felt that it was wrong for He Xi to provoke this big battle, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything. Because people change. The person in front of him is no longer the teacher who taught him many years ago in Nanjing.
He's not just a student anymore.
He came on behalf of King Yan, and there were some inappropriate things that could not be said. It is easy to cause miscalculations on both sides and unpleasant things happen. That's not good for anyone.
At this moment, Lian Zining knew that there was already a deep gully between him and He Xi, a ravine that could not be drowned.
He Xi also felt Lian Zining's life, he was used to it. On the road of life, people around him come and go, and some people even go to the opposite side of themselves, He Xi is not not sentimental, but too late, because he has too many things to do.
All feelings are just in the dead of night, for the burst of lights, a sigh, sad spring and autumn, that is the welfare of idlers. It's not Ho Xi's.
He Xi said, "You've been doing lately."
Lian Zining said, "Everything is fine."
He Xi said, "I wrote several letters to King Yan, but there was no reply, it seems that King Yan's reply is Zining you?"
Lian Zining said, "The teacher is wise, and King Yan asked me to talk to the teacher."
He Xi said, "Let's talk, what to talk about?"
Lian Zining said, "Nature is the world. My lord is willing to lead 100,000 cavalry to the south, put things right, and assist the prison country to ascend the throne, but what will my highness get?"
Negotiations? Naturally, it is impossible to honestly say your bottom line.
He Xi listened to Lian Zining's words and fell into deep thought.
And today, there is nothing to make He Xi jealous. Even King Yan is.
King Yan is on the grassland, there are 100,000 male soldiers, but in He Xi's opinion, but Er'er, King Yan led the troops to fight, although it was powerful, but so what? It's just a general. Yan Wang's situation has led to his limited potential.
Even if he goes south, He Xi can rely on the danger of the Great Wall to block it.
Of course, this situation is more critical, and it is not what He Xi wants to see. But King Yan defected to them, and it was difficult for He Xi to do it.
The difficulty lies in not knowing how to place King Yan.
King Yan is naturally not an ordinary general, but an uncle. In the military command system, it is embarrassing. It is impossible to let Yan Wang zero front-line army. Don't talk about He Xi, Zhu Xiongying can't believe it. Let King Yan assist in the rear, that is to overhead King Yan.
After all, political affairs were under He Xi's control, and he didn't think that King Yan could compete with him.
What's even more troublesome is that after the war, it is difficult for King Yan to arrange in the Central Plains, is it really to send troops to King Yan to fight a big vassal state?
He Xi thought about it, and suddenly his heart moved, and he said secretly, "King Yan is a smart person. Does he really want to join forces with us?"...
He Xi said: "His Royal Highness King Yan is the elder of the clan, and His Royal Highness my family will also give a gift to his nephew when he sees him, His Royal Highness King Yan is willing to go south to help, and His Royal Highness and I are both willing."
Whatever King Yan wants, we will never say anything, and we will all offer it."
He Xi's words, Lian Zining didn't know what to say.
Lian Zining had a look of astonishment on his face. Seeing this, He Xi's heart moved, and he said secretly: "That's right, this is not the condition of King Yan. Now it's Lian Zining who plays on the spot."
