Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 60 Shadow
Although it is not clear why His Majesty the Emperor's attitude has changed so much in just a few days, for He Zhiqiu, since His Majesty has agreed to mobilize the city guards, there is only a choice for him. I am much older, and I dare not say that I can handle it with ease, but at least the confidence in my heart is also a few points greater.
"Your Majesty, the old minister's plan is as follows. Most of Beiyuan County in the north has fallen, and it is too difficult to regain it in one fell swoop. The old minister thinks that we can extract some elite personnel from the internal affairs department to sneak into the various government offices of Beiyuan County. In the early stage, you can contact the local gentry who are loyal to the empire, secretly accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity. Others should not make other big moves for the time being; as for Yanyun County, the military threat of the Puer people will not last long. Then we can draw out a considerable number of troops, adopt the method of encroachment step by step, and gradually advance to the two prefectures of Cangzhou and Yunzhong. The rule of the Taiping Rebel Party there is not too stable. , and then mobilize local forces loyal to the empire to respond, it should be able to achieve very good results." He Zhiqiu is worthy of being a military leader with decades of experience. It is not aimed at the weakness of the Taiping Sect.
"As for Kansai, the Taiping rebels are very powerful there now, but they are surrounded by enemies. Tiannan and Sanjiang in the south are no different from their friends and foes. The cult is very afraid, and will never allow it to develop within its own sphere of influence, and it will definitely stab a knife in the back if it has the opportunity, and the Taiping rebels will naturally not believe them; both the north and the east are surrounded by the empire Under the current situation, as long as we maintain military pressure, it will be difficult for them to do anything; to the west, Li Wufeng has already had conflicts with them. It is hard to imagine that he would sit back and watch the Taiping Sect, a very threatening religious force, stare at him. The implementation of specific measures can be determined according to changes in the actual situation.”
Speaking of which, He Zhiqiu paused for a while, and lowered his head, as if he was considering his words. Situ Mingyue sensitively noticed the change in his confidant minister, and felt it in his heart, but he didn't speak, obviously wanting to wait He Zhiqiu came up with his own opinion.
"The old minister has an idea." After deliberating for a long time, He Zhiqiu finally said it: "It's better to give Li Wufeng a name, let him cooperate with the imperial army to attack the Taiping rebels in the Kansai area, and drive away tigers and wolves. Whichever side of them wins will hurt their vitality, and it will only benefit the empire. Of course, we can't give Li Wufeng anything substantial, even if it is a name, it can't be too clear. It is best to give him an illusory name, but we must Let him get away."
Carefully pinching the joints, He Zhiqiu also knew that it would not be easy to find such a reason to lure Li Wufeng into taking the bait, but he could clearly see the ambition in Li Wufeng's heart, even if there was a little bit of it. That guy won't give up on opportunities, and based on this alone, He Zhiqiu believes that he will eventually be able to get that guy on the chariot he prepared for him.
"Oh? He Aiqing, didn't you firmly oppose Li Wufeng's involvement in the Central Plains war? Why did you change your attitude and change so much?" Situ Mingyue had already understood the Minister of Military Affairs' thoughts, but he still wanted to hear The other party's detailed reasons.
"Your Majesty, this time, that time. At the beginning, the veteran objected to involving Li Wufeng, because he was worried that this guy would be difficult to control. Once he gained power, he would cause trouble. But the situation is different now. Compared with the estimates and predictions of the old officials, Li Wufeng's threat has been placed in a secondary position. His army is far less than the Taiping rebels, and there are many hostile forces around him. How can he now? It is still hard to say that we cannot fight against the Taiping rebels, and no matter which side they win or lose, it is beneficial to us and we can even contribute to it. It is best to let them fight both sides, which is most in line with the empire Benefits." He Zhiqiu analyzed slowly.
"Of course, neither of these two parties is easy to use, especially Li Wufeng, he will definitely think of this, but this guy has a major weakness, that is greed, as long as he shows you what is beneficial, you are not afraid that he will not take the bait. Once he wades into this pot of muddy water, it may not be so easy to go ashore casually." Speaking of this, He Zhiqiu showed a creepy and cold smile on his face.
Mi Feng, the head of the Lulong Security Division, was very busy. At this critical moment, the city guard, who was the lord of the city, disappeared strangely. The entire government is now in a state of paralysis, and the people in the city It was already a mess, thieves took advantage of the fire, and every household was packing up their belongings and preparing to flee, and it was impossible to control the chaotic situation.
As a soldier, Mi Feng knows that he has a heavy responsibility. There is a ninety-nine out of ten possibility that the city guard took advantage of the chaos and escaped in disguise, leaving this mess behind. I also sent a letter to let myself know the current affairs, and returned to the Taiping Sect as soon as possible. I had long suspected that something was wrong with this guy. Now he finally revealed his true colors, but what can be done?
Damn Northwesterners, didn't they agree to send troops to support themselves? Why is there no response so far? This guy Fielding is also dishonest, is it true that his old life is really going to be lost here? There are only less than three regiments left in my own garrison division. Although I have retreated to Fucheng now, the enemy troops that follow will soon pounce on me. I can't even keep here! Thinking of this, Mi Feng felt helpless and desperate all over his body.
Forget it, forget it, I can only do my best, and there are thousands of reservists, let's organize it too, as long as you can fight to the end, that's all you can do. Just when Mi Feng was sitting alone in the empty city guard's mansion, thinking helplessly, the soldiers rushing in interrupted his train of thought.
"My lord, my lord."
Seeing his personal guards lose their composure, Mi Feng felt even more upset. As an orthodox soldier, he has always been very strict with his subordinates, especially when it comes to military discipline. Seeing the soldiers around him like this, he couldn't help being furious: "What's the matter? You're so flustered, how can you look like an imperial soldier? How did I teach you? The big man should not change his face under Mount Tai, look With your virtue, go out!"
Only then did the soldiers who stumbled in realize that they had violated the division commander's taboo again. After taking a deep breath, they had to obediently go out and report again: "Report division commander, there is an urgent military situation!"
"Speak." Sitting firmly in the big chair, with a serious expression, in front of his subordinates, Mi Feng regained his calm demeanor of a general.
"A large-scale army was discovered thirty miles west of the city." The soldiers said concisely.
"Oh?" Although he reprimanded the other party just now, he couldn't help but change his face suddenly, and stood up, "Do you understand the situation clearly? Who is it?" Under the nervousness, his voice trembled a little.
"According to observations, it seems to be the Northwest Army, but it seems to be composed of Gaoyue barbarians." The soldiers replied hesitantly.
Overjoyed, Mi Feng didn't have the heart to reprimand the soldiers anymore. Whoever he is, as long as he can save the current emergency, it seems that this guy Fielding is really interesting. It's time to catch up with the most critical time, and it's time to send charcoal!
No longer caring about his prudent image, Mi Feng stood up and said excitedly: "Send someone to invite them into the city immediately, let the brothers line up, don't fall into the prestige of our Lulong Security Division, I am in the city The door welcomes you in person.”
It was the Northwest Independent Third Infantry Division led by Xiong Daoyuan and Shui Zheng. They set out from Yangmakou, traveled day and night, and crossed the deep hilly area at the junction of several prefectures. Fortunately, they had a guide who was familiar with the terrain, and the abundant physical strength and marching advantages of the Gaoyue people were also fully displayed. It only took them two days Just passed through the complex hilly area, in which they only rested for less than five hours in the middle. Li Wufeng's motivation before leaving and the pride of being a regular army are the most powerful support for their high-intensity march. It is a feat to be able to complete the march in such a short period of time.
Mi Feng described standing sternly outside the city gate, looking at the black dragon advancing steadily from the horizon~IndoMTL.com~ It can be seen that the opponent is indeed a not simple army. Maintaining a good formation, he couldn't help feeling a little curious about this army from the northwest.
"Mifeng, the Guard Division of the Imperial Lulong Mansion."
"Xiong Daoyuan, Northwest Independent Third Infantry Division."
"Shuizheng, Northwest Independent Third Infantry Division."
Simple self-introduction, standard imperial military salute, similar imperial military uniforms, several pairs of big hands clenched tightly together, while Mi Feng was observing each other, Xiong Daoyuan and Shui Zheng were also carefully sizing each other up. With a skinny figure, expressionless face, and cold hawk eyes, it shows that this guy in front of him is by no means a simple person.
"Please!" Mi Feng waved his hand to greet the guests.
"Master Mi, please!" The two of Xiong Shui naturally wanted to be courteous.
Mi Feng was not polite, he went first, Xiong Daoyuan and Shui Zheng followed closely behind, and more than 20,000 people from the Northwest Independent Third Infantry Division also followed silently into the city.
The entry of the Northwest Independent Third Infantry Division into Lulongfu City also marked that Wufeng's Central Plains competition has entered a new stage. It has a very different meaning from the Northwest Army's occupation of Zhegu Pass. It is of extraordinary significance for one's own jurisdiction to be stationed in a local government of the empire. In the history of later generations, this day is almost always regarded as the beginning of the imperial emperor Li Wufeng's annexation of the Central Plains.
