"Did you think of any way?"
In the middle of the night, the lights in the room flickered slightly, and Ning Yi's speech, although it was a question, was not too formal. After speaking, he sat down on the chair. The rest of the people in the room looked at each other, but for a while, no one answered.
Since the establishment of Zhuji and the continuous expansion, Ning Yi has gathered a lot of staff talents. Their life experience and experience may be different from those of Yao Zunian, Jue Ming, Ji Kun, Cheng Zhouhai, etc. This is because in this era, knowledge itself is a very important resource, and the process of transforming knowledge into wisdom , is even more difficult to define. In such a period, those who can excel often have outstanding personal abilities, and most of them rely on the ability of self-learning and self-induction.
Just like a big family, there are knowledgeable people in the family, who will help the children in the family, teach them according to their aptitude, and the success rate will be high. Children of ordinary people’s families, even if they save money and read books with great difficulty, if they don’t ask for deep understanding, it is difficult to transform their knowledge into their own wisdom. Even if there are a few smart people who can transform a little, they often go out and do things, make a small mistake, and have no background and no ability. Turning over a person really wants to go to the top position, mistakes and setbacks are an indispensable part in themselves.
The staff members Ning Yi chose are probably this type of people, who may not have any bright spots in the eyes of others, but they systematically follow Ning Yi to learn and do things, master scientific methods step by step, rely on relatively rigorous cooperation, and give full play to the group's strengths. Huge strength, when the road is smoother, try some outrageous ideas, even if you fail, you will be tolerated by everyone, and you will not collapse. Such people, without the system, collaboration methods and information resources, may be clumsy, but in Ning Yi's Zhuji system, most people can play a role far beyond their abilities.
Those who are still working overtime these few nights to check and summarize the information are the top ones among the staff.
But no matter how powerful it is. A clever woman is still difficult to cook without rice.
"...The two ideas we discussed before, we think, are unlikely... We have collected too little information about the Jinren. There may be a little bit of rift between Zongwang and Nianhan. But... I want to provoke them. And then affect the overall situation of Taiyuan... After all, it is too difficult. After all, not only do we not have enough news, but now we are fifteen days away from Zongwang's army... "
The staff member at the front looked at Ning Yi and said these words with some embarrassment. Ning Yi has always been strict with them, and it is not that he has never lost his temper. He firmly believes that there are no bizarre schemes, as long as the conditions are right. Go step by step. No matter how bizarre the scheme is, it is not impossible. This time everyone is discussing the matter of Taiyuan. One direction to the outside world is to use espionage or various small means to interfere with the upper management of the Jinren, making them more inclined to withdraw their troops voluntarily. After the direction was proposed, everyone had some whimsical discussions after all.
But obviously, this time, none of these ideas are possible. Time, distance, and information are three elements. All in a disadvantageous state, not to mention the under-penetration of the Jurchen upper echelons by the Secret Investigation Division. Even tentacles that can be stretched out are not ideal.
Ning Yi didn't speak, rubbed his forehead, expressing his understanding. His expression was also a little tired. Everyone looked at each other for a while, and after a while, a staff member at the back came over, and he took a copy to Ning Yi: "Master, I will check the file tonight and find something, maybe it can be done. It was used to hold a few people on Taishi Cai's side, Yan Zheng was holding his body quite upright before, but..."
These people may be older than Ning Yi, but they have gradually gotten along with him over the past few years, and they all respect him. The other party came with something, not necessarily because he thought it was really useful, but mainly because he wanted to show Ning Yi the staged progress. Ning Yi looked at it, listened to the other party's words and explanations, and then the two sides talked a few words before Ning Yi nodded.
"It can be summed up now, but as I said before, the core of this time is still on His Majesty's side. The ultimate goal is to be sure to persuade His Majesty. , "It's the same sentence, you can't mess around until you have a perfect plan. The Secret Investigation Division is an intelligence system. If it is used as a bargaining chip in political disputes, everyone will be in danger at that time. No matter right or wrong, we are all asking for hardships... But this is good, record it first."
The aide nodded yes and walked back. Ning Yi looked at the map above, and when he stood up, his eyes became clear again.
"It looks like there's still half a month." He looked back at everyone and said calmly, "It's good to find a way, but we can't find it. When the Jurchen storms Taiyuan, we will have another chance. I know everyone is tired. , but at this level, there is no way out, and there is no way to complain. Do your best to finish it."
He smiled and said, "Get some rest early."
He went out of the room and looked up from the yard on the first floor. It was a quiet night, the fifteenth month was round and crystal clear like a puddle of amber. Ning Yi went back to the room on the second floor. Juaner was cleaning up the things in the room, and then brought a pot of hot tea, whispered a few words, exited again, and closed the door.
Ning Yi sat behind the desk, picked up the brush and thought for a while. On the desk was an unfinished letter, which was written to his wife.
"...Everyone in the family, don't have to go back to Beijing for the time being..."
After thinking for a while, he wrote this:
"...Although the war is over, the aftermath is not over, and the situation in Beijing is complicated, and I can't see the direction. From the fact that Mr. Qin's resignation was rejected, it can be seen that the old man is still in the heart of the emperor, but I still feel something strange in my heart. The clue is contrary to the original assumption, but it is still not clear. And I have received rumors several times that there seems to be a dispute between the DPRK and the party. This is expected, but I don't know the scale. The impact of this incident is too great, if the newcomer If you want to be in the upper position, the old man will not be willing to step down after all. If he refuses to step down, he may have to fight.
Taiyuan plays a pivotal role in this Beijing-China situation, and it is very likely to become a decisive factor. I was also unsure and anxious, but fortunately some things were shared by Wenfang and Juaner. When I think about it, the Secret Investigation Division is a weapon in the hands of Prime Minister Qin. Although he has tried his best to avoid political disputes, if something happens in Beijing, the other party will definitely be afraid. I am now focusing on the north and you are in the south. your hand. The plan has already been made, and I can rest assured that you are taking care of it.
Since I returned to Beijing, I have been eating well and suffered some minor injuries on the battlefield. I have already recovered, but I am afraid that I have gained two pounds in the past few days. The hard work has passed, and you don't have to worry too much. I dreamed of you and Xier, Xiaochan and children a few days ago. Yunzhu, Jin'er. The scene is vaguely hot in the south. At that time, the war was peaceful, and everyone was safe and happy. Maybe it was a future scene. Xiaochan's child has not yet been named. You apologize to her for me and to the rest of the family. You also appease me for one or two..."
He finished the long letter. After reading it once, there are a few things that I really want to revise. The writing brush stopped for a while, but in the end I didn't make any changes. After I put it in the envelope, I sat at the table and thought about it for a while.
The lights were on at night, and it was long past midnight, until the early morning moonlight fell. As dawn approached, the light in the window just went out...
half a month thereafter. In the capital, it is a festive and lively half month.
Large-scale merit-based awards have begun, and many military figures have been rewarded. The military exploits this time were naturally led by several forbidden troops defending the city and the Wu Rui camp outside the city. Many heroes were elected, such as some generals who died defending the city, such as Long Hui who died outside the city, and many others. The family members are coming to the capital one after another to receive rewards, and there are also things like cross-horse parades, which are held every few days.
The things that are rewarded are determined temporarily, and it is still related to the material aspect. As for the military merit, how to promote it is not clear for the time being. Now, an army of more than 100,000 people has gathered near Bianliang. After that, whether to break up and recast, or follow some regulations, the court is also discussing it, but all parties maintain a procrastination attitude. For a while, Don't expect a conclusion.
No one knows whether they will be dispatched in the next month or two to deal with some problems that no one wants to see.
In such festivity and excitement, the weather in Bianliang has begun to gradually warm up. Due to the death of a large number of young people, some obstacles in the operation of society have begun to appear, and the livelihood of the entire Bianliang City is still in a vain that does not seem to have landed. During Ning Yi's run, the propaganda and agitation from the lower levels went smoothly and vigorously, and the efforts to send Wu Ruiying troops to Taiyuan were all to zero. The officials in the court seemed to be in a state of stagnation with ulterior motives. , In which direction the force is applied, the same resistance seems to be fed back.
In it, the emperor is also silent. In a way, Ning Yi could still understand his silence. It's just that many times, he saw the relatives of those who died in the war, the people who were waiting to do things but got no feedback, especially the soldiers with dismembered limbs. These people have fearlessly complained in Xia Village. The army launched a charge, and some even fell and never stopped killing the enemy. However, after the blood stopped for a while, what they would face may be the hardships and hardships of the next half of their lives. He couldn't help feeling ironic. The gap that so many people have sacrificed and struggled to create is gradually lost in the game of interests and indifferent onlookers.
What's even more ironic is that he knew in his heart that other people might see them in the same way: after winning a battle, they want to make a fool of themselves, want to continue fighting, and seek power, but they don't know the big picture at all, don't know Worry for the country...
When the first spring rain fell, Ning Yi was surrounded by a lot of trivial matters. He ran in and out of the city, the rain and snow melted, bringing more chills. Behind the propaganda of heroes on the streets of the city is the sense of disobedience that many families have changed, as if there is a faint cry in the Among them, just because it was too lively outside, and the court promised a lot of compensation, the orphans, widows and mothers watched blankly, not knowing whether they should cry or not.
In order to talk about things with people, Ning Yi went to Fanlou several times. In the precipitous spring and cold, the lights in Fanlou were either warm or warm, and the silk and bamboo were chaotic but pleasant to the ear, giving people a strange feeling of leaving this land. In fact, many of the things he secretly talked about belonged to idle chess. The extension of the flag road on the map in the Zhuji Chamber, and the method that could decisively change the situation, still did not exist. He can only wait.
As Zongwang's army continues to move forward, the delay of each information transmission will be longer. On the second day of the second lunar month again, the dragon raised his head, and it began to rain in Beijing. It was still raining on the morning of the third day of the first lunar month. In the afternoon, the rain stopped, and in the evening, there was a refreshing coolness in the air after the rain. Ning Yi stopped working, opened the window and blew the wind, and then he went out and sat down on the roof.
The blue sky is like washing, and the sunset is so gorgeous and clear that it seems to have been washed. It shines from the west, and the air smells of rainbow. There are people in the attic on the side looking out, and in the yard below, someone comes out. , Sit down and watch this refreshing sunset. Some people are still holding tea in their hands. Most of them are Zhuji's staff.
For a time, everyone looked at the beautiful scenery, but no one spoke.
Tianguang North goes thousands of miles.
The snow has not yet melted, and Taiyuan City is still immersed in a paleness that seems to be covered by snow.
The officials and generals rushed to the city wall, and the setting sun gradually disappeared. In the Jurchen military camp that stretched across the street, there were signs of large-scale troop movements.
The signs didn't stop...
The troops from the south are constantly being replenished under the city. Infantry, cavalry, flags and banners hunting, the siege equipment Zonghan hoarded during this period was pushed out one by one. Qin Shaohe rushed to the city wall and looked south at Bianliang. The expected reinforcements were still far away...
On the fourth day of the second lunar month, Zong Wang shot a letter of surrender, asking Taiyuan to open the city gate. The Emperor of the Wu Dynasty had promised to cede this place in the first negotiation...
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, in Taiyuan City, the color of the world changed. (.)
