2347 Thunder in the Windless Area (1)
Hanglin, the most prosperous city in the south, the largest commercial port, the population of 410,000, the city range of more than 30 miles, second only to the original emperor of the Chinese and the first hundred miles of the long court, compared with the north of the majestic, Hanglin can be said to occupy the south of the pretty, by the mountains and the sea, there are more large lakes, gulls and birds fly together in the lake water, the fish frighten the bottom of the river, the beautiful scenery from the sky of the painting boat, has always been the luxury of the imperial nobles to linger in the place of gold,
The rain is like a short line of bead curtain on the golden top cornice, the base of the hall that has just been completed, there are 9981 Fulongtai marble carved dragon's mouth will be countless rainwater gushing out from the dragon's mouth, drawing out a striking white water column, the magnificent rumbling sound, like a giant dragon roaring in the depths of the palace, located on the edge of the sea, there is no biting cold wind in the north, there is no ice and snow cover, just warm with a trace of slackness, more rain, more wind, less than the artistic conception of the southern city of Spring City flying flowers, the Zhongbia Dijing Baili Long Court was broken by the grassland people, the entire court moved to Hanglin in the south with the emperor
Early in the morning, Li Long, minister of the cabinet of the Sino-Belgian Military Department, walked into the carriage, and under the escort of several white horse attendants, slowly came out of the gate of his mansion.
Three days ago, the Western Army of the Long Family, which had always been entrenched in the southwest, suddenly opened its base camp in Guangling, and involved the four southwestern provinces before and after, mobilizing more than 100,000 troops, all of which were front-line troops in the Western Army that were really capable of fighting tough battles. How can you not know how jealous the emperor and the court are of the Western Army of the Long Family, who has always disobeyed orders!
The Long family is out of Guangling!
This news was handed over by Li Long, and the entire court shook.
Li Long saw that the emperor's face turned white, and there was an obvious panic in his eyes, and his hands were tightly held on the dragon chair, the emperor was afraid, Li Long's heart really couldn't help such speculation, no wonder the emperor was afraid, flattering the combat strength of the Zhangwu army had not yet recovered. The recruits in the army account for more than half, and half of the southern Luzhou army that can fight is trapped in Shangjing, Yanzhou, and the current strength left in Luzhou is sixty or seventy thousand people, and it is also necessary to guard against the impatience of the southern mountain barbarians, at this time, there is almost no excess troops to be transferred, and the Long family has 200,000 elites, although the generals in the court have always expressed contempt for the real combat power of the Western Army of the Long family, thinking that it is only the Long family that has resisted the Western Barbarians for decades. How could they not be qualified to be compared with the Yanzhou Army that resisted the southward movement of the Grassland Army! The two military masters who flattered and flattered Zhang even said many times that if it wasn't for the concern that it was once from the same line, they had a lot of forbearance towards the Long family. As long as His Majesty has a military order, he will take Guangling within a month!
But when they really heard that the Long family army was killed in Guangling, the generals who flattered Zhangwu were silent one by one at this time, and Li Long, the fourth person in the military cabinet. is too familiar with the virtues of flattering the Zhangwu army, not to mention the chaos of combat power, and the ability to speak big words is stronger than the other. Now there is only a sneer in my heart,
No matter how bad the combat strength of the Western Army is, it is also a war army that has experienced decades of war, not to mention that there is Longyang, the first general in Central Belgium, not to mention that the strength is now greatly damaged, even if it is the most flattering and Zhangwu army in its heyday, it may not dare to dare to fight with the Western Army, and now send them to block Longyang, that is, to find death, Longyang is the first general who has really fought countless wars, since it is the army out of Guangling, the selected Western Army must be the elite of the elite, so that it can be able to kill Hanglin directly, with Longyang's ability, the bloodthirsty spirit of the Western Army fighting with the Western Barbarians all the year round, if it really comes towards Hanglin, there are no several times the number of troops, I'm afraid that no one can stop it,
I'm afraid that we will continue to move south, and the Long family, who once vowed not to leave the southwest, this time, has left the southwest, or there is really a possibility of turning into a dragon! Li Long lowered his head with some sighs, and at this moment, another military report came from outside, as the head of the military department, Li Long walked to the door of the main hall to take the report, took a look, and was stunned for a moment, the direction of the 100,000 troops of the Long family was to the north、...... To the north, Li Long was a little stunned, and then he beat a spirit, it was Yanzhou! 100,000 Western troops went to Yanzhou! What was the situation? What was even more chaotic than him, because after learning the news, the wind direction in the court suddenly reversed, and all kinds of voices sounded.
What does Long Yang want to do! Without the order of the military department, and without the military guidance personally granted by His Majesty, the 100,000 troops were driven out of the southwest, which seemed to be a rebellion!
Is there anyone else in the eyes of this puppet in Longyang? It's a little too arrogant, His Majesty has already ordered the Luzhou army to retreat south, what else is going to Yanzhou to rescue at this time, do you want to slap His Majesty in the face? Not to mention that if you really want to rescue Yanzhou, naturally we generals will consider him, he is a southwestern horseman, what kind of mind do you think!"
"The battle of Yanzhou, Your Majesty naturally has an arrangement in his heart, what should I do if I kill him without caring about anything, and destroy His Majesty's calculations? Wenchen was angry, it seemed that everyone was extremely loyal, looking at Long Yang was like seeing an ant that fell into the soup, since the goal of the Long family was not Hang Lin, the courage of the ministers and generals naturally returned,
The Longjia went north, naturally going to Yanzhou, knowing the matter, now the entire war in Central Bia is concentrated there, 300,000 grassland people go south, the Luzhou army is trapped in Beijing, the relationship between the Luzhou army and the southwest Longjia has always been good, sit and see that the Luzhou army will be in danger of being wiped out when it retreats south, and it is understandable to send troops to support this night market.
But the emperor's angry face has already shown that the emperor is very unhappy, and the Long family is going to be unlucky! This time it was the Western Army of the Long family that was supposed to go to Yanzhou, but unfortunately let the Luzhou Army top, and now it's okay, Long Yang pounced on himself, who dares to stand up and help the Long family say a word at this time, that is, to find death! Not to be beheaded by the whole door is considered a grace of heaven" Your Majesty, the Western Army's move should be to alleviate the predicament of Yanzhou, and it is also a good intention." It's a pity, there are really people who are not afraid of death, in the crowd, a person stood up tremblingly and saw the person who stood up to help the Long family speak, and everyone was stunned, it was Mrs. Li, the prime minister who stood at the head of Wenchen, and there was no expression on his old face. It's just that the voice is a little old and gasping,
The ministers bowed their heads one by one, the eyes of the generals were shining, and the emperor was stunned for a moment with anger, his eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and his fingers were clenched violently, how could it be him! Since Tang Lu, the boss of the military cabinet, was removed from his post because of the fiasco of the imperial capital, the first place on the military general's side has been vacant, so that the position of Prime Minister Li Tai has suddenly become transcendent, and the Li family is the first of the four major gates. After two dynasties, more than 300 years, the family has passed on the culture of the country, the literati and poets have come out in large numbers, and he is also an advocate of science, and has always been the spiritual leader of the imperial scholars.
So his gaze only swept the ministers behind him seemingly unintentionally. The literati immediately lost their noise, and when it came to Pinmen, many people needed to call him a suzerain, and the literati of Zhongbia attached great importance to the inheritance of Pinmen. If it is a low-class family, even if it climbs to the position of an important minister, it will be spurned by the entire literati class
'Before the situation is clear, the minister thinks that it should be treated with caution'
Mrs. Lee didn't seem to feel the change around her. As the first in Wenchen, he has been accustomed to seeing wind and rain for decades, and he has not spoken out since just now. Now as soon as he spoke, as soon as he opened his mouth at this time, he was like a kind teacher, with peace in his voice, like the wind and a forest, and the court, which was originally a mess, suddenly became dead and silent
Li Xiang actually helped the Long family speak! Many people's eyes bulged
Who doesn't know that the year before last, Long Yang once scolded Li Valve for being a group of cold-blooded and ruthless nerds, for the sake of the so-called Rational Dynasty, regardless of whether he was innocent or not, he was stunned to force a good Li woman to death, that woman was Mrs. Li's daughter Li Yuehua, the pearl of the Li family.
It is said that the Li family intended to support this woman as a concubine, but before being sent to the palace, there was a sudden change, someone conspired to tell this woman that the Li family was sent to monitor the emperor's eyeliner, and even came up with some evidence, the case was in an uproar at the time, Li Valve in order to show his innocence, he asked to kill this woman, many people still remember how the prime minister Mrs. Li signed his name on the execution of his beloved daughter that day,
At that time, this white-robed and gray-haired old man was as cold as frost, and after only a few years of hard work, he was so old all of a sudden.
Mrs. Li still said to herself, "It's just that the southwest is an important place in the empire, heavily stationed, and it costs countless money and food every year, and it is the first line of defense to resist the Western Barbarians, once there is a problem, the situation is unimaginable, and the minister thinks that since General Longyang is worried about Yanzhou and is not in Guangling, it is better to appoint General Longyang to guard Yanzhou, and appoint a new commander of the Western Army to take over the Western military affairs, otherwise, it is irresponsible to the entire empire!"
Did the prime minister say that Longyang was appointed as the town guard of Yanzhou and the chief general of the new Western Army?
The young emperor of Zhongbiya raised his eyebrows suddenly, and an indescribable light erupted in his eyes, in Mrs. Li's words just now, it was really a naked smell of blood, this smell, the emperor hadn't felt it for a long time, interesting! It is said that Lao Zai only used one mouth for many years, and said that Song Kechen, the general of the Song clan who rebelled in the south, and the thirty-seven barbarians who planned to kill each other, gave the current Song clan patriarch Song Que a chance to take the throne, it seems that there are really a few truths, and now with a few words, he kicked Long Yang out of the southwest, not to mention, but also left a big piece of cake, so that these generals are eager to go to the southwest now, afraid that they will run late, and let others divide up all the good things?
"Who do you think can be the commander of the Western Army?"
The emperor's face was gloomy and flashing, and his heart was about to burst into laughter, the anger just now was gone, and he took advantage of Long Yang's absence to remove the chief general of the Western Army! When the 100,000 western army of Longyang runs away from the grassland people, I am afraid that there will not be many people left, and the next time the grassland people go south, Longyang will still be in front, and everyone only needs to watch the play in the back.
Sure enough, the prime minister saw the distance, now is not the time to care what he Longyang is doing, the emperor thought about it in his heart, his eyes flashed, and the generals below held their heads high one by one, hoping to show their most powerful side to the emperor, flattering the main generals of the two armies, and they each put on a full momentum, and their faces were red,
As long as the Western Army does not come to Hangzhou and Longyang is not in Guangling, then what is there to be afraid of!
The Long family is a fertile land, and the six southwestern provinces have been entrenched since the Long family. The taxes paid are almost gone, and the Western Army Long family is still crying poverty to the court, the empire has invested so much money in the southwest, and over the decades, it has all become the property of the Long family silently, which has always been a heart disease of the empire.
If it weren't for the need for the empire to support the Long family, there would be more energy and financial resources to deal with the people of the northern grasslands, and what kind of imperial catastrophe would there be! Long Yang himself left Guangling, and the tiger left the nest. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, although Longyang transferred 100,000 Longjia troops, but more than 100,000 remained in the southwest, and there are more than six provinces in the southwest, although it is barren, but it is much better than the areas affected by the war.
Longyang marched north to the death of 300,000 grassland troops, life and death are still two words, and it is best to lose both. Although the southwest is the chassis of the Long family, after all, it is still the province of the Central Bea Empire, and although the military aspect is controlled by the Long family, the local officials are appointed by the court. Without the six southwestern provinces of Longyang, His Majesty's military order has passed, and it is not a matter of one sentence that the six southwestern provinces will change the sky! With the support of the six southwestern provinces, more than 100,000 troops of the western army will be in their hands. I dare not say that I can recover to the heyday, at least I can stabilize the current situation, and I don't need to hear about the steppe people going south. My first instinct was to keep running at the thought of this.
"Flattering Zhangwu and the two armies were originally branches of the Western Army decades ago, and now His Majesty wants to retake charge of the Western Army, naturally it is the main general of Flattering Zhangwu, they are all a family, and there can be a lot less pressure when integrated" Chen Dongyang, the general of the flattering army, was tall and louder, and the palace that shook was a burst of dust,
"It's already separated, is it interesting to go back?" Someone among the other generals immediately said unconvinced, "It's said that it's a family, but in fact, it's almost the same as enemies, if you let you go to the Western Army, I'm afraid that the Western Army won't do it themselves!" "Who is it, if you have the ability, stand up and say, what kind of ability is hiding in the shadows?"
Chen Dongyang was angry, flattering the division of the Zhangwu Army back then, it did have a bad reputation, for decades, it was even more inconsistent with the Western Army everywhere, and it has become an undisclosed secret, but now it is said by others, just like slapping the face in public, Li Dongyang's arm wrapped in fine iron armor was raised heavily, and his eyes looked at the generals of the various armies behind him one by one, as if they were about to pounce on him and take a bite, and the generals stared at him with contempt on their faces one by one, everyone is a general, rolling out of the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses, you Li Dongyang will kill people, we will not"Okay, since it was proposed by the prime minister, let the prime minister decide who will be the commander of the Western Army!"
The emperor looked at the generals who were about to fight below, his face was cold and frightened, and when he heard that the western army had left Guangling, they all shrank their heads and pretended to be grandsons, and when they heard that they were going to enter the southwest, they all ran out to be heroes, how could he raise a group of people in this area! Since it was proposed by Mrs. Li, the emperor believed that the prime minister had already had a candidate in his heart, "Lord Prime Minister!"
Hearing the emperor's words, everyone's eyes looked at Prime Minister Li Tai, Wenchen's eyes were bursts of fire, although Wenchen did not serve as a military commander, but in the history of the empire, there is no lack of examples of Wenchen serving as a military commander, who is not red-eyed with such fat as the Western Army!
The generals' eyes are green, and looking at the old prime minister's wrinkled old face, it is like looking at the beautiful women in the world, and they can't wait to make a promise
I don't know if I hesitated, or I felt too embarrassed, Lord Li, who had been in turmoil for decades, actually let out a rare dry cough, and said in a gloomy tone, "If Your Majesty asks the minister to choose, the minister recommends that Song Que, the patriarch of the Song clan, be the chief general of the Western Army!" "This ......" The young emperor's mouth was wide open, "The prime minister is crazy, right?" Your Majesty, the empire has just been established, more than 100,000 western troops are entrenched in the southwest, the sky is high and the road is far away, and it is a self-contained system, and the minister thinks that no matter who he sends to go, he will not dare to say that he will not become the second Longyang!" At this time, Prime Minister Li Tai plucked up all his strength in one breath and said in a loud and deafening voice. Song is absent into the southwest, the Western Army will inevitably not follow, Longyang can not be taken care of in Yanzhou, the only thing the Western Army can rely on is the court, and the court can also use the Song people's wealth to nourish the Western Army, one eliminates the other, the Song people's financial resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and the Western Army has become the Western Army of the court, the Western Army of His Majesty!"
