There are only three things, and Fang Guozhen naturally understands.
"Don't worry about them for now." Lin Yuan took a sip of tea, "I told you to watch the court's movements, but have you?"
Yang Shaowei nodded: "The imperial court is reorganizing its troops, and I think it is going to attack in the near future."
Lin Yuan raised his hand: "Can you order it?"
Yang Shaowei: "I ordered Chahan Timur's adopted son and his nephew, Wang Baobao."
Wang Baobao was originally named Kuoko Timur. His father was a Hanlin scholar and his mother was Chahan Timur's sister. As early as when the rebellious peasant uprising army first appeared, he followed his uncle to suppress the rebellion. Two years ago, Chahan Timur was assassinated, and he took charge of himself. Later, he was involved in party disputes within the court. Now he is named the King of Henan and the Prime Minister of the Left.
Lin Yuan remembered him.
He remembered that in history, he was praised by Zhu Yuanzhang as "the strange man in the world".
It is conceivable that Wang Baobao is not a waste.
Lin Yuan didn't expect that the news revealed through Yubi would be hooked on such a big fish.
The Yuan court now has few generals who can take action.
Tuotuo is now in his hands, specializing in water conservancy.
Chahan Timur was assassinated.
Many more died either in internal strife or on the battlefield.
The Yuan court, which has come to a dead end, now the only killer left is Wang Baobao.
Wang Baobao…
Lin Yuan sighed.
He couldn't recruit this person. Wang Baobao was different from Tuotuo. Tuotuo was abandoned by the Yuan court, and was rejected by the Yuan court, so Tuotuo still had a chance to be drawn over by him, but Wang Baobao had always held an important position, and the court did not let him down. He also has his own heart.
Since they can't recruit, they can only kill.
Lin Yuan felt pity.
Yang Shaowei said: "I am afraid that at the end of the month, Wang Baobao will lead a strong army to attack the city, and there will be a fierce battle. The adults should take care of themselves first."
Lin Yuan understood what Yang Shaowei meant, he shook his head and said, "This battle will not be defeated."
Chen Banxian and the others have already developed a new type of weapon. The previous weapon was thunderous, loud and rainy. The bigger effect was to scare people and disturb the enemy's military. Now the newly developed weapon is not comparable to modern technology. Today, when the defense measures are relatively simple, this weapon is almost invincible.
In addition, there is an improved crossbow, the crosshair has been changed, and the accuracy is higher.
Although it is still difficult to hit moving targets, it is much better than traditional bows and arrows and unimproved crossbows.
Not to mention that they are now standing in Hanyang, with the city wall blocking the front, and there is enough food and grass, ready-made watchtowers.
In addition, Yubi is spreading false news.
If this battle can be defeated, Lin Yuan can only think that God wants to kill him.
Wang Baobao couldn't believe it when he received the imperial decree.
It's not that he doesn't dare to fight, nor is he afraid of death, but that he has no certainty of winning this battle at all!
Someone in the courtroom revealed to him that the emperor asked him to fight Hanyang only because Ha Ma said that his spies were now the concubine of the King of Nan, and there was never a secret on the bed.
Wang Baobao took the imperial decree and sat at the desk with his staff.
The aide gritted his teeth and said, "Then Ha Ma... After Ha Ma, everyone will..."
Ha Ma used female sex to deceive the emperor, do you think that all men in the world will be deceived by feminine sex? If that is a set, if they really get into it, it is not only them who will die, but the last breath of the Yuan Dynasty.
Wang Baobao smiled bitterly and said, "The imperial decree has been received, what can we do? This battle has to be fought."
Staff: "Always think about the way back. If you really fall into the trap of the Nan Wang, you have to keep your soldiers. Only with soldiers can you have a chance to make a comeback."
Another aide gritted his teeth and said, "Why didn't Timur Timur kill him back then?"
After Hama assassinated Tuotuo, the official worshipped the Zuo Prime Minister of Zhongshu, which is Wang Baobao's current position. His younger brother Xue Xueguan worshiped the imperial censor, and the two brothers controlled the court. In the 16th year of Zhengzheng, he wanted to expel his sister-in-law, Tu Lutie. Muer, Tulu Timur wanted to sue the emperor first, but was stopped by Hama and beheaded outside the imperial city.
Today's Hama is already a Chinese book order.
In the Yuan Dynasty official system, in addition to the three princes: Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao, the following are the Zhongshu decrees, which lead hundreds of officials and will decide general affairs.
The Zhongshuling has been in existence since ancient times, and the first was the Western Han Dynasty. This position was re-established in the Yuan Dynasty. After Kublai Khan entered the Central Plains, Yelu Chucai was appointed as the Zhongshuling, and Kublai Khan restored the powers of the Zhongshuling Prime Minister. Its authority is extended to all provinces.
Later, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty generally served as the heir or the crown prince concurrently served as the Zhongshuling.
It is not that the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty did not have wise men. The rules of the ancestors could not be changed, but the imperial power would fall by the wayside, but it is better to use half of his own son or his own son.
This seat is so important.
No one thought that Hama would be able to climb a step further from the Prime Minister of the Left.
But if it still climbs, it's San Gong.
Wang Baobao: "What's the point of saying this now? Save your mind and put your mind where it should be used. How should Hanyang fight?"
It's not that they didn't know that the king of Nan attacked Hanyang because of the lack of manpower in Hanyang.
But today's Hanyang is in the hands of Nanwang, and it is no longer the Hanyang of Xu Shouhui.
Fighting now is as hard as going to the sky.
What's more, they have to march through mountains and rivers, and the supply of food and grass, the loss of weapons, and the loss of soldiers cannot be counted.
Nanwang's side only needs to rely on Hanyang, and there is sufficient food and grass, as well as soldiers. Their soldiers are not enough to recruit troops on the spot. What about their own side
outside the city walls
Soldiers will be consumed, how to replenish
The aides bowed their heads and pursed their lips, not saying a word.
They have to figure it out as soon as possible.
This is the most miserable thing in the world. Everyone knows that the emperor on his head is stupid, addicted to alcohol, has no ambition, eats the old money of his ancestors, and he loves the traitor, but anyone who suits his heart is a good official. , entrusted with heavy responsibilities, those who do not agree with him are corrupt officials and evil officials, he doesn't even need to say more, with just one look, someone will come up with all kinds of crimes and pull down the people he hates.
Guessing the thoughts of superiors is a compulsory course for traitors.
Wang Baobao rushed to his staff and said, "I haven't fought yet, maybe I can win. Who is crying now? Show me?"
"Prime Minister." The staff sighed, "If I hadn't sent you this time, it would be better to say that if you win, it is because you are small and big. If you win or lose, it's just a lack of manpower and food and grass, so it's not ugly."
"But this time I send you, you can only win, not lose. If you lose, you... Even if you win, Hama will see you as a thorn in your side."
Zuo Prime Minister of the Central Book, if there is another outstanding military exploit, how can Hama not panic
Besides, the power is high, and the master has not been without it since ancient times. If Ha Ma will challenge again at that time, it will be a dangerous road even if he wins.
Wang Baobao said with a smile: "The Han people say that food for the king and loyalty to the king will be discussed on that day."
"What I'm thinking about now is how to beat Hanyang down."
"It is said that Hanyang now has only 30,000 people, and nearly 200,000 people have suffered heavy losses in pursuit of Chen Youliang. It is fully calculated that Hanyang has only 100,000 available soldiers, many of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled. Besides, Hanyang changed hands less than half a year ago, and the people's hearts have not returned. The chances of winning are not small." The staff said, "Although Hanyang is a big city, it is not exhausted."
Wang Baobao: "Besieged? This method is too time-consuming. It can't be done without two years of hard work. The situation in the court is changing rapidly. Let alone two years later, I don't know what it will be like next month."
The staff couldn't help but say: "If you can pull Hama off the horse before the expedition..."
Another person: "Where is it so easy? When it comes to Chahan, he goes with personal guards wherever he goes, and he can't get in easily. Besides, under the imperial city, who dares to move the Zhongshu decree?"
The proposer gritted his teeth: "If I have good skills, I will definitely kill him!"
But Hama is alive, and the threat is too great for them.
Wang Baobao said, "Let him be mad for a while."
On the other hand, Hama is accompanying the emperor to appraise the memorials. He is now a Zhongshu decree, and it is his responsibility to wear them. The emperor can read the memorials now and what he can't read, he has the final say. The palace maids and eunuchs were very attentive to him, even better than their own father.
All are filial sons and grandsons.
The courtiers outside are not as sensible as these servants, and they also act against him.
But he couldn't move them yet.
If it really moves, the reputation of the traitor will not be washed away.
In the end, even if the emperor didn't want to cut him, he had to cut him.
Hama said softly, "Is Your Majesty tired? Why don't you take a rest earlier? There is no end to this review. If it is approved today, there will be tomorrow. Your Majesty is diligent in administration, but also takes care of your body."
The emperor glanced at Ha Ma and nodded.
He is willing to dote on Ha Ma, because Ha Ma is the only courtier in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty who takes his happiness as his happiness.
He may not know what Hama wants, but Hama can make him happy, find him a beautiful woman, and make him happy day and night, why doesn't he love Hama
How many of those courtiers who are full of people in the world can do it
He is the Son of Heaven, not an animal to be used as a ox or a horse for the common people. He has ruined his own body. Can these officials still make up for him
Don't blame him for pampering Hama, if other courtiers have some concern for him, he won't be pampering Hama alone.
The emperor was helped to bed by the eunuch. After all, it was a study, so he could only rest for a while.
The emperor asked him, "If Kuo Kuo wins this expedition, it is best if he wins, but what if he loses?"
Hama was full of confidence: "Your Majesty, my righteous daughter is the smartest and most clever, and Nan Wang was so fascinated by her that she couldn't hide many secrets from her."
The emperor closed his eyes, listened to Hama's repeated assurances, and finally said, "That's good."
The author has something to say: In history, Hama died because Timur, the bald Lu, approached Emperor Yuanhui (Emperor Yuanshun) in advance to sue him.
His younger brother Xue Xue also died with him.
