Chapter 147: The Door Opens Wide
Chapter 147: The Door Opens Wide
Under Mei Yin's persuasion, Li Jinglong made up his mind.
Without saying a word, without any conditions with the Northern Army, Mei Yin's troops were welcomed into Yangping Pass. The Thirteenth Army thus entered the hinterland of Hanzhong.
And Li Jinglong was also prepared, and immediately sent someone to defraud the Sword Gate.
As soon as the husband was the pass, the sword gate pass that could not be opened by ten thousand people fell into the hands of the northern army. Sichuan opened its door to Beijing, not only Sichuan, but also the Yangtze River valley to the northern army.
When such news came, the world was shaken.
------
"Your Majesty can prepare for the southern tour in advance." He Xi said to Zhu Xiongying with a smile.
Sometimes, the preparation is too much and not too good. He Xi prepared a lot of things for this battle, and even prepared for a fierce battle for a year or two, but now he has not fought much at all, and there has been such progress. It can even be said that even if the war reaches this point, it will not be pushed forward.
The Yellow River is relieved that there is still no breakthrough, and he is also satisfied with it.
After all, Sichuan was torn apart. It is equivalent to opening the previous route of the Mongols to destroy the Song Dynasty, and even the route of the Mongols to destroy the Jin Dynasty. They can come out of Hanzhong and go straight to Henan, in this case, what else can the so-called Yellow River defense line be defended?
I can't defend it anymore.
Victory is assured.
The difference is only a matter of time.
Zhu Xiongying said: "This is all the work of my uncle, and my uncle's work should be crowned king."
He Xi heard Zhu Xiongying's words, and suddenly turned several thoughts in his heart, and said: "The surname of the country is not the king, this is known to the minister, and this battle is not the credit of the minister, but the work of Song Sheng and Li Jinglong. Your Majesty must reward them first."
Zhu Xiongying immediately said, "Not bad, especially Li Jinglong, it's really good."
He Xi didn't say much, a small temptation between the two passed.
In fact, the two of them didn't want to be tempted, but many things were really hard to talk about.
Zhu Xiongying actually wanted to say, if you are given a king after the war and you will retire, will it be okay? Or do you have the idea of going further with the help of force?
The reason why Zhu Xiongying didn't understand asked was because once the answer was not what he wanted, there was no room for maneuver between the two sides.
Although it is likely to cause miscalculation, at the same time, it is also to avoid the communication between the two sides from falling into a dead end.
Zhu Xiongying said that Li Jinglong is good. It was not Li Jinglong who dedicated Hanzhong. But in order to prove that he was right, in order to prove his righteousness, Li Jinglong wrote an essay and spread it to the world.
There is only one purpose, which shows that His Majesty originally intended to pass on the throne to Zhu Xiongying, but Zhu Yunwen used illegal means to let His Majesty pass on the throne to him.
In a word, Zhu Xiongying is the Fusu of foreign generals, and Zhu Yunwen is the second of Qin II.
Many things in it are dialogues between Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Jinglong, but in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer there, and these conversations are not recorded in the living notes, so it can be said that there is no proof of death.
Whatever you say, it's okay.
But in any case, Li Jinglong himself proved the righteousness to himself, and also dealt a severe blow to the crumbling Nanjing, and the already crumbling Southern Dynasty was once again torn open bloody wounds on the issue of legitimacy.
This is a great benefit for Zhu Xiongying, and it can even be said that it is directly scratched to the itch.
Zhu Xiongying said, "Uncle, what are you going to do in the southwest?"
He Xi said: "The Duke of Jin Liang was the governor of the southwest, and the governor of Hanzhong, Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou and other places. Li Jinglong recalled the Beijing Division, after all, Mei Yin's ability to raise the army has been proved in one sentence, but Li Jinglong's methods really have some ------."
He Xi didn't make it clear, Zhu Xiongying already knew.
He has read the history books, and the performance of this Li Jinglong in history, he knows very well that he almost lost the essence of the Southern Army, and it can be said that he is the first king of Yan
A hero. Such a person is put outside to lead the troops, don't say that He Xi is not at ease, and he is not at ease either.
And Cao Guogong is already the top title. There is no seal, and it is also a way to deal with it by letting him come to Beijing to participate in the government affairs.
Moreover, Li Jinglong is politically responsive and has some talent. At least much stronger than the talent in military affairs.
Zhu Xiongying said, "What my uncle said is very true."
He Xi said: "The minister came this time, and there is one more matter, please ask Your Majesty to write a letter to the Mu family in Yunnan, and now it is time for them to make a decision."
Zhu Xiongying's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of what kind of situation it would be if the Mu family in Yunnan also defected.
The southwest is owned by Beijing, and the Nanjing court is attacked from both sides, leaving only the southeast, the number of victories and defeats, do you need to say?
Zhu Xiongying said, "Okay, I'll go and write it."
Zhu Xiongying suddenly thought in his heart, and now Zhu Yunwen is such a face, he wants to see it very, very much.
--------
Zhu Yunwen is going crazy.
Song Sheng's rebellion, although Zhu Yunwen was annoyed and angry. But he hasn't lost his temper yet, but Li Jinglong's rebellion has made him almost crazy.
Without him, Song Sheng and Li Jinglong are completely different in weight and nature.
Although Song Sheng is a general, he is not knighted, and such a person is actually not among the core generals of the Ming Dynasty, so just a Geng Bingwen can seize the military power of the Song family. And Li Jinglong is different, he is a prince of the country and a relative. In the eyes of outsiders, he is an important minister of the state.
It can even be said that he has shares in Daming Company.
What's more, Zhu Yunwen has not met Song Sheng a few times at all, but he has dealt with Li Jinglong many times.
In Hanzhong, he arranged for Li Jinglong to go.
Even when weighing this position, there were still a lot of noises, and it was Zhu Yunwen who tried his best to disagree and arrange Li Jinglong to the past, just to balance the situation in the court and win over the original relatives.
Li Jinglong rebelled, slapped him in the face hard, and proved one thing to the world, he was toyed with by Li Jinglong in applause.
He's incompetent.
This is the reason why Zhu Yunwen is almost crazy.
Song Sheng's betrayal was at the moment when the situation in Guanzhong was reversed and almost irretrievable, Zhu Yunwen was angry, but he also knew that the war was not good first, and then there was Song Sheng's actions later, but Li Jinglong was different.
Li Jinglong's Hanzhong encountered little threat of war, and Mei Yin's department, if they wanted to conquer the checkpoints, the firepower needed was simply not enough. Coupled with Sichuan's continuous manpower and material resources. It is not difficult to stick to Hanzhong.
After the loss of Hanzhong, they fell into complete passivity strategically, which was what Geng Bingwen and Fu Youde thought, and the so-called Qinling, Tongguan, and Yellow River defense lines became a bubble. In such a situation, how could Zhu Yunwen not be crazy.
Zhu Yunwen scolded Ding Xian sharply and said, "Ding Xian, this is the general you chose for me?"
Li Jinglong was not chosen by Ding Xian.
The power to appoint and dismiss the front-line generals is not in Ding Xian's hands at all, in fact, after the economic affairs are in a mess, Ding Xian's power is being replaced by Qi De, and Ding Xian is helpless about it, he has already anticipated his future.
When will it be taken out by Zhu Yunwen and used for the world's corporal doctors.
It's just that he doesn't kill now.
After all, the war has only been fought, and it has proved an ironclad fact, that is, what supports Nanjing to fight is not benevolence, righteousness and morality. It's steel and gunpowder, and the technology that can produce steel and gunpowder comes from new learning.
The best way to use these things also comes from new learning.
If we want to fight the war, we must not stop reforming.
Because reform may die, but if it is not reformed, it will definitely die.
It's all a dead end, and there is still a little hope for reform that will not die.
But Ding Xian has been linked to this matter, especially the recent wave of the imperial court's tide against Ding Xian. But it followed the impeachment of Ding Xian
, but also to abolish the articles of the new law, reiterate the old chapter, and even many people's understanding of the old chapter, is to return to the eighteenth year of Hongwu.
Because He Xi was the fourteenth year of Hongwu to this era, but Zhu Yuanzhang really began to accept He Xi's opinion, but it was a few years later in the eighteenth year of Hongwu, that is to say, they wanted to abolish some of Zhu Yuanzhang's reforms.
