In the Wu Dynasty, in the early May of the ninth year of Jianshuo, the summer was beginning to get hot, and the expedited communication from the Ministry of War was running through every important road in the southern land of the Yangtze River.
In Lin'an, the capital, there is still an endless stream of business travelers and ships passing through. The exchanges of scholars and the gathering of chivalrous men are all polishing the prosperous scene of the Wu Dynasty.
Ten years, placed in a person's life, is a realistic and long distance. It is enough to make a teenager grow up, make a young person transform and mature, make a mature middle-aged person enter old age, let the old people put down their thoughts and go to the end of their lives.
Joy will be more beautiful in the memory of this time, and fear will become illusory because of the passage of time. In the past ten years, Nanwu's transformation from a new life to prosperity has been placed in front of everyone. This prosperity can be seen and touched, which is enough to prove the hard work and prosperity of the new dynasty.
Due to the pressure of the past and reality, the scholars were able to express their anger and write more impassioned words. The chivalrous men are more valued by people, and what they do and think is no longer a simple fight in the green forest and the black and black that cannot be on the table. Even the girls in the brothel Chu Pavilion can more easily find men who are heartwarming and even intoxicating in this relatively peaceful "chaotic world".
It's been the best of times for everyone.
The courtroom remains busy, and officials can at least achieve their ambitions more easily on the new political map. Recently, it has become more busy.
The unusual news that Zongfu Zongbi "may" go south has caused a storm in the court of the Wu Dynasty. The information brought by this storm is still blocked from top to bottom, but well-informed people can already vaguely perceive a clue. The actions of many big players can always cause some ripples from the inside out. This ripple is not necessarily negative. After a few days of fermentation, in the well-informed upper-level social circles in Lin'an, the message that there may be a war has already taken shape.
The listeners were all enthusiastic.
With the passing of a long time, due to the warm and nourishing of the prosperous scene, the perception of the landscape of the Han Dynasty in the past ten years, and even the recent search for the mountains and the sea, has already changed in people's minds. Nanwu's hard work gave people a lot of confidence. On the one hand, he believed that the sky was falling and there was a tall man on his back. On the other hand, even Lin'an's sons and buddies believed that even if the Jinren called again, Wu would be overcome with pain. The DPRK also has the strength to fight back, which is also the result of the external propaganda of the Wu Dynasty in recent years.
Since it is possible to fight back, what needs to be considered is the opportunities brought by the change of power in this war, the opportunities in power, and the opportunities in economics. And even if there are people who worry that the Wu Dynasty will be frustrated again, most of them talk about how they can do their part to turn the tide and help the building in the near future.
Whether such a change is a good or a bad thing is not easy to evaluate. However, at the upper levels of the Wu Dynasty court, it was natural that they could not deal with this news so willfully. After a lot of discussion and analysis, the handling of the whole situation became even more difficult.
Qin Hui, the privy emissary, was at the core of this storm at this time.
Since the Wu Dynasty changed to Nanwu, and after the Jurchen searched the mountains and seas, Qin Hui has experienced many twists and turns in the officialdom of the Wu Dynasty, and now he is one of several senior officials standing at the top of power. Compared with the left minister Lu Yihao and the right minister Zhang Jun at this time, Qin Hui was more of a rational leader in the courtroom. He served in the censor's desk during the Jinghan Dynasty. After the Jianshuo Dynasty was stabilized, Qin Hui successively did several deeds to stabilize the conflicts between the residents of the north and the south by means of thunder, offending many people, but he was really thinking of the overall situation.
The rational faction at this time is usually the Lord He faction. After the Jurchen searched the mountains and the sea, Qin Hui was well aware of the military disparity between himself and the Jin people, and was extremely restrained in the contradiction between the two sides. People from the South and the North return to the North” such a big policy and big strategy. There is no human affection in his proposals, but they are extremely realistic. Because the prince Junwu is a bloody fighting faction, Qin Hui has never been awarded a position, but because of this, his status has become detached.
The emperor at this time, Zhou Yong, certainly loved his son, but on the other hand, he subconsciously relied on Qin Hui on a rational level, and most of them thought that if things got out of hand, people like Qin Hui would be able to clean up the mess. The news that the Jinren might go south came. The high-level meeting of the Wu Dynasty would not be without a high-level officer like Qin Hui, but this time, he did not wait for him to pour cold water, and the atmosphere inside the entire court was uniform and solemn.
In the past few years, the Wu Dynasty has been training recruits and building weapons. If it is against Liu Yu, there is still some confidence. However, against the Jurchen, people in the court have a decent mind. In fact, there has been such a wind in the past. However, this year, things are different after all.
Wu Qimai fell ill, and Zongfu Zongbi wanted to take Jiangnan to deter Zonghan. For the martial arts Jurchen, this is indeed a very likely situation. Under the premise of assuming the news is true, most of the people are timid about the next response. On the one hand, the two-pronged policy of negotiating peace and provocation has been highly praised by everyone. On the other hand, the choice of war is more or less. looked cringe and confused.
The situation is not complicated. Since the Wu Dynasty lost the entire Central Plains in the confrontation with the Jurchen a few years ago, and the Jianshuo Dynasty was settled down, the military status of the Wu Dynasty has been greatly improved. This improvement is not due to the willingness of the civil servants, but a fact that appears in the dynamic game. On the one hand, the chaos in various places has given more power to those who lead the troops. It has gradually risen. During this period, there is even the prince Jun Wu, who has been shouting for the army in private, so that the power of the court has been curbed to a certain extent.
The confrontation between civil and military is not just for personal gain. In the territory of Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other high-ranking officials favored by the prince, the power of the army is overwhelming, and the recruitment, tax collection and even the dismissal of some officials are all determined by him. . The generals used this excessive method to ensure the combat effectiveness, but the power of the civilians was difficult to pass, and a national law had to be implemented, but there were military forces under them that were completely disobedient or even opposed. In the previous Wu Dynasty, such a situation was unimaginable, and in today's Wu Dynasty, it is not necessarily a good thing.
Nothing is just right in the officialdom, and it is often the truth that overcorrection must be overcorrected. Just like the overall situation of fighting against the Black Flag Army, the civil ministers up and down the court are trying to block the strength of the Huaxia Army in the southwest, but the armies of the Wu Dynasty are secretly buying the firearms of the Huaxia Army for the past two years, due to Long Qifei. The activities of scholars such as Li Xiannong and Li Xiannong in the southwest, as for the commercial activities of the Huaxia Army getting out of the quagmire, are often reported to the imperial court, but they are always left unresolved. These things are always annoying.
If you want to defeat the enemy, you must let the army have autonomy, and you must not let the ministers dictate. Let the army be autonomous, and the other side often crosses the line. It is a long process to reach a balance in the middle game, but in general, how to accurately control the army without damaging its combat power is a big classroom of the current Wu Dynasty court. Once the war starts, the containment and efforts made by many ministers in the past few years will all be in vain.
Chaotang discussed and quarreled chaotically and repressed for several days. At first, with the idea that this news might be wrong, he tried to block the news. The messenger made preparations for the leaders and commanders of the military in various places, and sent people to Beijing to discuss the current situation and countermeasures. These messengers were only halfway there, and a horrifying news spread from north to south. The startled wind and waves were like a series of huge explosions, rumbling for thousands of miles, and rushed to the front!
…
Time pushed back a few days ago, the former capital of the Wu Dynasty was now Bianliang, the capital of Daqi, and the weather was dark and depressing.
The chaos came suddenly.
When the turmoil happened, Liu Yu was seeing several ministers in the imperial study, and when the sound of weapons clashing sounded, his heart began to sink.
In the nightmares of the past few years, he may have seen some similar scenes. Liu Yu was sitting behind the desk trembling slightly. When the commander of the Imperial Army, Xue Guangcheng, strode in with a knife, the courtyard outside was already full of slaughter.
"you you you… "
"Your Majesty, someone has an appointment with you." The door of the imperial study was slammed shut, the figure grinned and walked over, "I'm here to pick you up."
Just like the dark shadow he saw that night three years ago, Xue Guangcheng was tall and tall, Liu Yu pulled out his long sword, the other party had already walked over, waved his big hand, and whistled.
Ever since Liu Yu was threatened by black flag spies in the palace, five to one thousand Jurchen elites have been stationed wherever he is, taking turns switching defenses with the Han army, but at this time, the entire imperial city has fallen into a fight.
Tie Tianying, who has been in Bianliang for several days, has experienced this big chaos. In the prosperous city of Bianliang, which is no longer in the past, a wolf smoke has risen. The news from all parties is very chaotic. Some people say that a part of the forbidden army is involved. Rebellion, it is said that many ministers have tried to escape the shadow of the Jurchen anyway.
Under the jurisdiction of the Jurchen for several years, although it has experienced terrifying suppression, there are still many people with arrogance in the Central Plains. This huge chaos caused a chain reaction. Some people opened the city gates and incited the residents of Bianliang City to escape from here and to Nanwu. Some people also participated in this fight. The Jurchen general Ali Biao, who was guarding Bianliang, pulled out of the camp and entered the city shortly after. At this time, several Daqi courtiers took their families and took their mouths and fled the city.
Emperor Liu Yu was also robbed outside the city.
Ali scraped the elite soldiers to keep up.
Chase and flee, chaos and killing. Many people still haven't figured out what happened, whether it was a rebellion or whether the army in the south, known as the Black Flag, finally made a move against Liu Yu. Tie Tianying noticed later that the Black Flag, which had been operating in the Daqi court for several years, was launched overnight.
The whole process of this incident was violent and rapid, and it was even unclear who was deceived, who was incited, and who was deceived. A large amount of false information also obscured the Jurchen's immediate response, the black flag. The elite captured Liu Yu and fled south of the city. Ali Gua was furious, and led the elite to bite all the way. The whole process of chasing and killing even lasted for several days, spreading from Bianliang to the southwest for thousands of miles.
Four days later, Ali Gu's chasing army came back. They rounded up and killed about a dozen Black Flag members. These twelve died tragically. It is said that they have all been dismembered. Liu Yu, who was caught only after his death, has disappeared.
The whole Bianliang was in chaos, and Tie Tianying had quietly left this dangerous area. When he recalled the entire operation of Black Flag, his heart was surging. However, with the next news about Liu Yu two days later, his whole heart went cold...
…
In Lin'an, when the first news reached Fang in the early morning of the previous day, at the court meeting, everyone knew the news.
In the chaos of Bianliang, the pseudo-Qi emperor Liu Yu was captured in the palace, and the Jurchen general Ali scraped an army to hunt him down. At this time, Liu Yu had not yet been found.
This must be the handwriting of the black flag.
A few years ago, when the Battle of Xiaocanghe ended, Liu Yu was celebrating, but one night, the Black Flag Army came into the palace and beat him up. Since then, Liu Yu has been frightened into a madman. This incident is said to be true, and it has been rumored as a laughing stock by many forces, but it has also confirmed the rumor that the black flag has infiltrated spies into the various forces in the Central Plains.
At the moment when the relationship between Jin and Wu was tense, the Black Flag Army suddenly came out to give Jin Guo such a disgrace, which was a good thing for the Wu Dynasty court. Everyone was more or less relieved.
On the morning of the second day, around 10:00 p.m., everyone was still discussing the impact of the Puppet Qi uprising, and the good news came.
"... The fake Qi Liu Yu told the world with a blood letter... At the time when the golden dog was strong, the Liu family was forced to helpless, in order to protect the foundation of the Wu Dynasty, they had to make a false and condescending commitment to the gold, and tremblingly... In the end, the overall situation of the Wu Dynasty was not lost, The Central Plains are still in the hands of the Han people... Now the time is ripe, so together with the righteous people from all walks of life, we will rise up and return to our great martial arts... The Central Plains are in the right hands, rejoice, Your Majesty"
In the summer, the sun shining brightly from outside the hall came in. After the eunuch who communicated the news, Zhou Yong on the dragon chair was still a little lost.
"Ah... anyway..."
In a blink of an eye, the Central Plains changed. Wu Chao, came back without losing an inch of land
Above the courtroom, the faces of Lu Yihao, Qin Hui and the others had turned pale. The sound of breathing became difficult throughout the courtroom. The sunlight outside suddenly seemed to have lost its color. Like mountains and seas pouring in from outside the hall, it seemed to stab everyone in front of them.
"Black Flag... This is a poisonous plan to destroy my Wu Dynasty..."
…
In the princess' mansion, Zhou Pei, who heard the news, broke the cup in her hand, her hands trembled, and there was no blood.
…
After ten years, the Black Banner Army has always maintained a restrained attitude towards the Wu Dynasty.
Although they were often ruthless towards confrontations on the battlefield and did not shy away from being ruthless when defending themselves, most of the strategies of the Black Flag Army did not show much malice towards Wu Chao. It seems that he is apologizing for his evil deed of murdering the king. The strategy of the black flag, those who can avoid the Wu Dynasty, often avoid them. tendency.
This time, at such a critical moment, Hei Qi slapped the Jurchen in the face. What no one expected was that he finally stabbed the sword into Wu Chao's heart with a backhand.
This is a sharp-edged sword, and it is also full of cruelty and cruelty.
On the stage of the world, there has never been room for emotions to survive, and there is no room for the weak to breathe.
Soon after, the news spread all over the world.
The gears of war are slowly buckled. The confrontation is unfolding fiercely under this water wave... (.,, Your support is my biggest motivation.) 17-02-25 11:20:31
