The classics are thick, the cases are ancient and clumsy, and there are birdsong in the shade of the trees. The Qin Mansion’s study hall has no gorgeous eaves and ivory carvings, no gorgeous gold and silverware to play with, but the inside is where a lot of thought is spent. The shade of the tree is like a canopy. In summer, when the breeze blows, the temperature in the room also gives a pleasant feeling.
After noon, three or five friends gathered here, chatting about the world, sitting and talking about the cool breeze, ice drinks, and cakes. Although there is no extravagance to be enjoyed by the outside world, what is revealed is also a commendable gentleman's style.
However, what sounded here at this time was a discussion that was enough to control the situation in the entire world.
Although the matter against the black flag has not yet been determined, and before the implementation of the entire strategy, Qin Hui also had the intention to live in the dark, but such a major event cannot be done by one person. After he came out of the imperial city, Qin Hui invited several senior officials who were very close to each other to discuss it. Of course, it was said that they were close, but they were actually small groups whose interests were intertwined with each other. Qin Hui has also mentioned and discussed it with others. Those close to him are Zhang Tao and Wu Biaochen. They are confidants. Even if they are a little farther away, such as Liu Yizhi, the gentleman is harmonious but different, and they recognize each other. If you know there are some differences, you will never go out and talk nonsense.
This black pot from Liu Yu was thrown onto Wu Chao's head. The black flag is a serious problem for the confidant, and the remarks that must be removed early are no longer a topic in the outside world, but they will not become mainstream after all. When the usually steady Qin Hui suddenly showed his support, and even secretly revealed that he had already presented this plan, everyone understood that the other party had already chosen a direction. Suddenly, when someone asked a question, Qin Hui explained it one by one.
"...Since the 14th year of Jinghan, the Jurchen has become powerful and the current situation is embarrassing. I have no time to take care of him, so the black flag has been raised. The great rebellion of slaying the king has not been wiped out for ten years, but in private, many people It would be a great shame for those of us to be ministers. Of course, if it was just for these reasons, I would not talk about it when the soldiers were fierce and in danger. However, since the imperial court was hunting in the south, I have There are two major problems within the DPRK, if they cannot be sorted out, sooner or later they will encounter unspeakable disasters, perhaps even worse than external enemies..."
Qin Hui was talking, walked through the crowd, and added sugar water to Liu Yizhi and others' bowls. The servants avoided these occasions. However, Qin Hui always came to respect the corporal, and it was quite natural to do these things. stop.
"One of these internal troubles is the friction between the southerners and the northerners. In recent years, you have been running around for this more or less, so I will not say more. The second internal trouble is the self-confidence. When the Jurchen went south, the image of the warriors' chaos in power has now gone out of control, and this is clear to everyone."
As soon as Qin Hui said these words, most of the people present nodded: "His Royal Highness is behind the support, and most of the people in the market applaud..."
"In Fujian, Zhejiang and other places, military law is greater than national law."
"Last year, Hu Tingzhi went to the Wuwei Army to take office, and was almost beaten back..."
"The incident of Wuwei's army taking empty salaries and fish and meat from the villagers has intensified..."
"More than just a part of the Wuwei Army!"
In this voice, Qin Hui waved his hand: "After the Jurchen went south, the army should be large, which makes sense. I established the country with civility, and I was afraid that the military would disrupt the power, so I decided the strategy of subordinate ministers to control the army. The civil officials sent out did not understand the military strategy, and they messed up! As a result, the army suffered frequent ills and had no combat power. In the face of such a strong enemy as the Jurchen, they finally collapsed in one battle. After the court moved south, this system should be changed. It's a matter of course, but all things are in the middle, and over the years, what benefits can there be!"
"In the past few years, war has become the general trend of the world. At the beginning, the seventeenth division of our Wu Dynasty Xiang army was reduced to thirteen, and five new troops such as Beiwei and Zhenhai were added. After losing the Central Plains, the army expanded to 2.7 million. These armies have taken advantage of the momentum to increase their power and tactics, exerting power and blessing in various places, and no longer obeying the restraint of civil servants, but among them, has it been reduced in terms of arrogating power, taking empty salaries, and deducting low-level grain salaries?" Qin Hui shook his head, "I don't think so. "
"There are too many rules in the army, and it is impossible to fight. Without the rules, it is impossible to fight. Moreover, the army without rules may have more ills than the army with many rules! Over the years, the closer the army to the southwest is, the closer it is to the black army. The more you deal with the flags, the more you buy iron cannons and firearms in private, that black flag, the retrograde of killing the king!"
Qin Hui's voice was sharp, and after a while, he calmed down his angry expression: "Even if we don't talk about this big festival, we only seek utilitarianism. If it can really revitalize our Wu Dynasty, buy it. But trading is really just trading? Dali People also think the same way, the black flag is both hard and soft, and they say that they are just doing business. Back then, the people of Dali could show a hands-on attitude to the black flag, but now, they don't even have this attitude. The interests are deeply intertwined. , can't do it. Guys, we know that sooner or later there will be a battle with the black flag. If these transactions continue, these generals will be able to fight against the black flag in the future? At that time, in order to protect themselves, I am afraid they will do anything. !"
Qin Hui paused for a while: "The military of our Wu Dynasty, one of them, has a different mind. After ten years of sitting, do they still listen to the orders of the imperial court? They still don't give any discounts as before? You know, now they are willing to give There are also many adults who are supported by them and who are blinded by them. Second, apart from the few armies that are fed with real money and silver in His Royal Highness’s hands, I am afraid that the combat strength of others is difficult to say. The country is worried. And these things in front of you can be attributed to one."
He held up a finger.
"Fighting the black flag can completely unify their thoughts. Take the opportunity to draw a clear line with the black flag, and don't procrastinate if you don't have to deal with it again! Otherwise, after fighting the Jurchen, I am afraid that the interior of the Wu Dynasty will be almost eaten by the black flag. Second, training troops. It's hard to say how powerful these troops are, but there are a lot of people. Near the black flag, the Nepalese people who are full of barren mountains and fields can also win it, and Dali can also win. If you drag it before Jurchen, I am afraid that the fiasco of Bianliang will be repeated!"
After Qin Hui finished speaking, after a moment of silence, Zhang Tao said, "The Jurchen is about to go south. Is it a little hasty to use warfare to support warfare?"
"Zi Gong, please let me be blunt, if the battle with Jurchen is really fought, it will not be decided in three or five years." Qin Hui sighed and said, "The Jurchen is powerful, and the combat power is not comparable to that of my Wu Dynasty. , Zhenhai and other armies even if they can fight a little, it is extremely difficult to win now, but I have visited all the generals over the years, and the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is different from the Central Plains. Jurchens can also come and go unhindered. But the Jiangnan waterway is crisscrossed, and even if the Jurchens come, they will be greatly hindered. When Zongbi ravaged Jiangnan, he eventually had to withdraw his troops and return. On the way, he was even trapped in Huang Tiandang by Han Shizhong and almost turned over. Ship, so I think that the biggest advantage of our Wu Dynasty in this battle lies in the background."
He looked around: "Since the imperial court went south, although our Wu Dynasty has lost the Central Plains, but His Majesty has worked hard to govern, where the destiny is, the economy, and farming are still several times higher than when they were sitting in the Central Plains. Looking at the black flag, Jurchen, the black flag is located in the southwest corner, surrounded by barren mountain barbarians, relying on everyone to take it lightly, and traveling around to be safe. If you really cut off the trade routes around it, even if the battlefield is difficult to win, how long can it last? As for Jurchen, Over the years, the old have gone, and the young have learned to enjoy themselves. Wu Qi bought a stroke, and the throne is about to change. Zongfu Zongbi wants to balance Zonghan before he wants to take Jiangnan... No matter how bad the war is, a drag The trick is enough."
"The road I've traveled is extremely difficult." Qin Hui sighed, "It's easy to say, but this way, I'm afraid I'll be beaten all the way. But other than that, I've been thinking hard, and I can't find any more. Other ways are possible. In the early years, you all wrote to Chen Wuren about the abuses of dictatorship, and there was a lot of quarrels. I didn't say much. I remember that Zheng Zhong (Wu Biaochen) also scolded me for being tactful about last year's incident. The former prime minister Qin Gongsi Yuan, I have an old relationship with me. Although he has a great rebel like Ning Liheng under his sect, he has smeared the name behind him, but in all fairness, many of his words are indeed insightful. It's also useless. I've been trying to figure out how Duke Siyuan has acted for many years, but at this moment, it is the most effective to raise the issue of fighting the black flag and clearing up the military affairs. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Eldest Princess may approve, so I The Wu Dynasty is united in one mind, and great things can be done."
Qin Hui did make big moves in the courtroom, but not many. Sometimes Qingliu fought with the power of the prince and the eldest princess, or rubbed against Yue Fei and others. Qin Hui never participated directly, and was actually quite slandered. Everyone could not have imagined that he had endured until today before finally throwing out his own calculations. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but praise him, sighing that Duke Qin had endured humiliation and burden, and he was really the mainstay of Ding Hai Shen Zhen. Speaking of Qin Siyuan's officialdom, there are actually quite a few positive comments on Qin Siyuan. At this time, he can't help but admire that Qin Hui is the one who truly inherits Qin Siyuan's mantle, and he even surpasses his knowledge of people...
In the admiration, everyone can't help but feel that the huge responsibility is overwhelmed, and there is no turning back in this battle. The breath of the mountain and rain is approaching everyone's eyes.
************
Soldiers are fierce and dangerous. In this huge court, each faction has its own ideas, and countless people are running around because of anxiety, responsibility, and fame and fortune. The princess' mansion, finally realizing that the eldest princess who was no longer a friend of the Southwest regime, began to prepare to fight back, at least to make people vigilant. The "Black Flag Suffering Theory" in the world may not be without the shadow of this exhausted woman. She once admired the man in the southwest. Therefore, she has become more and more aware and fearful of the dread of the enemy. And the more so, the more unable to remain silent.
Just before he was about to publicize that the black flag caused the Bianliang bloody murder because of his own selfishness, the urgent information from the north brought the information that the black flag intelligence leader confronted Ali Gua and rescued the people and officials of Bianliang. This publicity work was interrupted at this point, and the inner feelings of the leaders were hard to be known by outsiders for a while.
Corresponding to Lin'an, Jiangning, the city where King Kang Zhou Yong first started, is now another core of the Wu Dynasty. And this core revolves around the prince who still looks young today. With the support of the eldest princess' palace and the emperor, a group of young and young warriors have gathered, and they are also working hard to shine.
After returning to Lin'an to meet his father and sister, Jun Wu hurriedly returned to Jiangning. In the past few years, Jun Wu has made great efforts to support the supplies and armaments of several armies. The most dazzling ones are Yue Fei's Beiwei Army, which is now guarding Xiangyang, and Han Shizhong's navy. It is the Huainan Line of Defense. Zhou Yong was a cowardly and timid man, and the person he trusted most on weekdays was his son after all, and it was the striker who had to send his confidant army to watch over him.
In a war, when both sides are prepared, from the initial demonstration of intentions to the three armies moving first without food and forage, to the assembly of the army, the distance between them will be a few months or even half a year. Of course, the most important thing. It is also because Wu Qimai's stroke and other major events are ahead, and the warnings of caring people are behind, so that people can have so much buffer time.
Even though he had obtained a large share of the resources in the imperial court, Jun Wu, who was still young in his thinking, was not yet skilled in the art of coordinating various forces and uniting all the officials with their own thoughts. So in the first period of time, he did not stay in the capital to fight with the officials who had previously disagreed, but immediately returned to Jiangning, gathered all the available people under his command, and made plans around the entire defense strategy against the clock. Strive to maximize the efficiency of the work at hand.
Since Liu Yu's decree came out, with the help of the black flag, all parts of the Central Plains were making various responses one after another, and the first gathering point of this information was Jiangning on the south bank of the Yangtze River. With Zhou Yong's support, Jun Wu has the right to deal with these news immediately. As long as there is not much disagreement with the court, Zhou Yong is naturally more willing to stand up for this son.
Just like Lin'an, in Jiangning, in the Prince's Mansion, and even among the people who used to have a relationship with Ning Liheng, such as Yue Fei and Wenren Buer, there were some comments and cautions about the black flag. Even the more he understands Ning Liheng's character, the more he understands his ruthlessness in his actions. As soon as he learned of the change, Yue Fei's letter to Jun Wu once proposed that "the Southwest must be blacklisted." As a real powerful enemy, the banner army will never tolerate the struggle of the world." For this reason, Jun Wu held a special meeting in the Prince's Mansion to clarify this matter.
In the past, due to the old relationship between the prince and Ning Yi, and because the Southwest Kingslayer was not easy to compare with Zhengshuo of the Wu Dynasty, when everyone talked about the world, they always emphasized that the players who played chess were no more than Jin, Qi, and Wu. It is believed that the false Qi is a bonus, but this time, the identity of the black flag as a "chess player" and "opponent" is clearly emphasized.
Once this is clear, the black flag's intention to arrest Liu Yu and call on the Central Plains to go anyway can be seen more clearly. Indeed, this is already the last chance for everyone to win. If the black flag does not make a move, the Central Plains will completely belong to the Jurchen. If Wu Chao thinks about any chance, it will be even more difficult.
After several discussions in the Prince's Mansion, Yue Fei also arrived in a hurry. He didn't have much time. After meeting with all parties, he had to go back to sit in Xiangyang and prepare for the battle with all his strength. This afternoon, after the meeting, Jun Wu left Yue Fei, Wen Ren Buer, and Cheng Zhouhai, who represented Zhou Pei, behind. The old members of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion were actually some of the people Jun Wu trusted the most.
"I've been chatting with everyone in the past few days, and I have a whimsical idea, which is not easy to say, so I want to close the door and let a few people take a look at it for me."
Over the years, Jun Wu's thinking has been relatively radical, and he has always been the backing of everyone in terms of power, but most of his thinking is not mature enough, at least not to the point of being cunning and cunning. For many strategies, most of them rely on the staff around him for reference. But this time, his idea didn't seem to come from someone else.
"Wu Qimai had a stroke, Zongfu Zongbi went south, Zong Han must keep up, this battle is related to the overall situation of the world. The Huaxia army played beautifully in capturing Liu Yu, no matter how good it is verbally, it is for us in the end. Unprepared, they took the biggest advantage. When I returned to Beijing this time, the emperor was very angry, and I also thought, we can't be so passively at the mercy of the southwest... The Huaxia army has not had a good time in the southwest these years. For money, they Having said that, everything is sold, and between Dali and Dali, we can even send troops to guard the house for others, and destroy the cottage..."
Jun Wu sat behind the desk and tapped lightly on the table: "My Wu Dynasty and the Southwest have a feud for slaying the monarch, and they are not inseparable, so naturally they cannot be related to it, but these days, I think the situation in the Central Plains is different. After Liu Yu's blood letter went south, in the past few days, there have been many reports of defections secretly received. So, is it possible to do this... Well, Xuzhou Li Anmao has my heart in the Wu Dynasty, and he is willing to go anyway, so that he can not go anyway... Jurchen goes south, Xuzhou It is an important town and bears the brunt of the brunt, even if it can be held for how long is unknown anyway, it is tasteless to eat, impossible to abandon..."
He smiled slightly: "We give him a sum of money and ask him to invite the Huaxia Army to send troops and see how the Huaxia Army receives it."
"We Wu Dynasty came to the country, we can't let them throw the black pot over casually, we throw it back." Jun Wu said, thinking about the problems, "Of course, there are many details to consider at this time, I The Wu Dynasty must not come forward in this matter. Where did such a large amount of money come from? Or, is Xuzhou’s goal too big, what should the Huaxia Army dare to do, and can we choose another place... But I I think, Jurchen must also hate the Huaxia army to the core. If there is a Huaxia army blocking their way south, they will not let it go... Well, this matter has to consider whether Li Anmao and others are really worth entrusting, of course, these It's all my imagination, maybe there are many problems..."
During Jun Wu's chatter, the eyes of the other people in the room lighted up. Cheng Zhouhai said first, "Maybe it can be done..."
"Ah?" Jun Wu raised his head.
But it seems that for a long time, a young man who has been chasing behind a certain figure has handed over his answer sheet to the other party... (.,, Your support is my biggest motivation.) 17-03-06 11:06:02
