Chapter 193: Master and Apprentice Reunion

Lian Zining saw that something was wrong with Zhang Yu and said, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing?" Zhang Yu said. It's just that although Zhang Yu said this, his heart shook very much.

Although it is said that Lian Zining is the envoy, and Zhang Yu, as the right-hand man of King Yan, he sent Zhang Yu over, obviously with a mission. This task is nothing else. It is to observe the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army. By the way, we will inspect the situation of the northern and southern armies on the battlefield between the rivers.

Yes, King Yan did not have the idea of participating in the Great War of the Central Plains. But King Yan is very clear about one thing, any decision is based on strength. King Yan did not participate in the Central Plains War, because King Yan was not strong enough to seize the throne, not because he didn't want to.

Therefore, the change in strength between the north and the south is the foundation of Yanwang's decision-making.

Lian Zining came this time, and he was the tongue of King Yan and was responsible for communicating with Beijing. And Zhang Yu is the eye of King Yan, responsible for looking at the comparison of military forces between the north and the south, and making judgments.

Zhang Yu hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice, "Master Lian, I remember that His Highness gave you the right to decide, right?"

Lian Zining was stunned for a moment, didn't speak, just nodded.

Zhang Yu said, "If, I say if, some things are not too much, just lower your head."

Lian Zining was taken aback when he heard Zhang Yu's words.

Zhang Yu is in the palace of King Yan and does not talk much. But once you open your mouth, it carries a lot of weight. Zhang Yu is not a weak person either. Wouldn't say such things lightly.

When Zhang Yu said something like this. There must have been a very striking discovery.

Just what this discovery is. Lian Zining is still unclear. However, this is not the place to speak. Lian Zining just nodded and said, "Got it."

What happened? Let's talk about it privately.

------

Outside the Cabinet House.

The Cabinet is busy, and people come in and out.

Lian Zining was in the Hou Hall outside the cabinet, and his expression was still a little trance.

King Yan started in the northeast and swept through Mobei. Surrender hundreds of tribes around the country, and say you're welcome. Don't dare to compare with Mongolia in its heyday. But compared with the Huns, Turks, and the like of Rouran, they are not inferior, and even surpassed. Timur's arrival from the east was, of course, a problem. But is this month's question difficult to solve?

Definitely.

The rhythm of war in this era is put in here. Even if Timur now begins to mobilize. It's fast to move troops every year.

Hutian snowed in August. When winter comes, it's not suitable for war. If it is to start a war now, it is impossible to say, King Yan will not be able to support it. After all, it is normal to fight hard in the west, and it is normal to be out of breath for a while. But fight again a year later. Just give King Yan enough time.

One year, it is enough for King Yan to absorb the power of the various departments of the tile spurs.

King Yan was under pressure in the face of Timur, but it did not mean that he could not fight at all.

Deep down in Lian Zining's heart, he is actually proud of King Yan's military strength. In the dead of night, I may not have thought about the original plan, Bian Zhuang's idea of stabbing the tiger and killing two birds with one stone, although I also know that there are some unrealistic, but I can't help but think about it.

It's just that I never thought that Zhang Yu, who was regarded as the right-hand man of King Yan and the first person in the army. Just watching a military parade and learning a little about the intelligence and establishment of the Northern Army, I came to a conclusion, that is, the Northern Army cannot be contested.

And even make a judgment, if the Nanjing side does not make a change. The situation in the world has been decided. Beijing's domination of the world is nothing more than a matter of time.

Since the destruction of the chariot by the Wei State and the cavalry shooting by the Hu State of the Zhao State, military reform in Chinese history has not been absent. But there were no revolutionary reforms. For example, Zhuge Liang's eight formations, if they were used in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and even in the Tang Dynasty, there would not be much disobedience, it was nothing more than a need for some small improvements.

Today's military reform in Beijing is a reform that is comparable to the destruction of cars and the use of reckless clothing and cavalry shooting.

To destroy a chariot is to abandon the chariot and use a foot pawn. Hufu cavalry shooting, naturally the introduction of cavalry. Become one of the decisive arms on the battlefield.

After the destruction of the car, there was the powerful Wei

The rise of the warriors. Hufu cavalry shooting is naturally Zhao to become a powerful country in the world. even suppressed the Qin State. Perhaps, in the future, Beijing's reforms will not be so shocking.

But for some time to come, Beijing has an overwhelming advantage.

What made Zhang Yu feel even more desperate was that although King Yan was powerful, the economic foundation of King Yan could not replicate Beijing's reforms, and these artillery, guns, and supporting gunpowder, etc., were not produced by King Yan.

Nanjing can follow Beijing's example in carrying out reforms, but it is only a little more difficult.

The King of Yan, or the heritage of the Yan Kingdom, has already determined that the future Yan Kingdom, even if it defeats Timur, it will be a second-rate country.

From now on, the era when you can suppress the Central Plains by dominating the Western Regions of the Grassland is gone.

After Lian Zining understood this, his heart was very complicated.

He thought about it repeatedly, he took refuge in the King of Yan, when he wanted to turn the grassland into a Han, he had made it into three percent, and the Mongolian people had begun to settle down, as long as the poetry, books, rituals and music were educated, after three generations, what was the difference with the Han people?

It's just that he feels that way again.

Compared to what He Xi did, what he did was simply useless.

This made Lian Zining very disappointed.

If he stayed by He Xi's side, Yang Shiqi's position would be his.

But there are no ifs in life.

Just when Lian Zining lost his mind. At this time, He Xi summoned Lian Zining.

Lian Zining sorted out his thoughts and walked to Wenyuan Pavilion.

Today's Wenyuan Pavilion is He Xiyi's office. There are a lot of people here who give He Xi a hand.

Although He Xi and Lian Zining were very familiar with each other before, they are now on two sides, so they are naturally polite. With a bit of distancing.

After the pleasantries. Lian Zining handed a note to He Xi and said, "This is His Royal Highness King Yan He Majesty's great victory over the south, please send it to Your Majesty."

He Xi was taken aback.

He Xi was already ready to have a good verbal battle with Lian Zining. But he never expected that before he could speak, Lian Zining had already surrendered.

This surprised He Xi.

This letter, He Xi doesn't need to read it, you can know the general content, which is basically some superficial articles and nonsense literature. However, the political meaning behind this letter is too deep, especially in this note, which denounces Nanjing as a southern rebel.

That is to recognize Beijing's political status and deny Nanjing's political status.

If you are on the map, you can map the territory, the north of the Tianshan Mountains, the Mobei region, and the entire Siberian region are painted in the color of Beijing. Even in terms of territory, it has surpassed Nanjing.

Not to mention, King Yan's position in the patriarchal system. This is the highest political card that Beijing has obtained.

He Xi said, "This is what His Royal Highness King Yan meant?"

Lian Zining said, "Your Highness doesn't speak, do I dare to act so recklessly?"

Lian Zining's words are both right and incorrect.

King Yan will still use people. Thousands of miles away, it is impossible for King Yan to control remotely. So, I discussed with Lian Zining about various situations. A final bottom line is given. That's King Yan's letter.

This is the last bargaining chip to make Lian Zining have no choice.

Even King Yan may not have thought that Lian Zining would be so simply and directly hung the hole cards to the other party.

Lian Zining also had no choice.

This was the last plan he had been thinking about for a long time.

Now that Beijing's power has reached this point. King Yan and the Western Regions have encountered a great crisis, and Beijing has more spare strength. Lian Zining couldn't help but think about one thing, what if King Yan was competing with Timur in the Western Regions, and Beijing stole King Yan's house?

Although He Xi didn't think about it, even many people didn't think about it. But Lian Zining couldn't help but make bad intentions.

After all, the scale of the war between Beijing and Nanjing looks like it will expand. If you destroy the Yan Kingdom, you can get hundreds of thousands of cavalry and countless war horses. These are all precious war materials

。 You can't even spend money to buy it.

As for the threat of Timur.

Timur was sensible, he was not a madman, when the war was stalemate. Timur would have looked for steps to step down. After all, Timur's rule in Iran, Iraq, etc. was not stable, and it was impossible for him to drag his strength all the way to the East. He had to deal with the enemies of the West.
