Power and Empire Chapter 2347: Thunder in a place where there is no wind (1)
Hanglin, the most prosperous city in the south, the largest commercial port, with a population of 410,000, and a city border of more than 30 miles, second only to the long courtyard of the original imperial capital of Central Biyah. Compared with the majestic north, Hangzhou Lin can be said to occupy the beautiful south, with mountains and seas, and large lakes. Gulls and birds fly in the lakes and waters, fish are scared at the bottom of the river, and the beautiful scenery from the sky is painted. It has always been a luxury sales place for the imperial nobles to linger. ,
Rain water hits the golden roof and cornices like a short bead curtain. The base of the newly completed main hall has ninety-nine eighty-one Fulongtai marble-carved dragon mouths, and countless rainwater gushes out from the dragon mouth. Lines of eye-catching white water columns are drawn, and the magnificent rumbling sound is like a giant dragon roaring on the ground in the depths of the palace. The city is located on the sea, without the harsh cold wind from the north. The icy and snowy land is just a little slack in the warmth. The rain is more, the wind is stronger, and the artistic conception of flying flowers in the southern city of Spring is a bit less. The Baili Long Court of the Imperial Capital of Zhongbia was breached by the prairie people. As the emperor moved to Hanglin in the south
Early in the morning, Li Long, the minister of the Ministry of the Chinese Army and the Cabinet of Ministers, stepped into the carriage, and under the **** of several white horse attendants, he slowly emerged from the gate of his residence. The axles of the carriage were pressed on the clean pavement. , Making a creaking sound, walking at a constant speed on the street, Li Long sitting in the carriage is looking at an urgent military newspaper,
Three days ago, the Long Family West Army, which had been entrenched in the southwest, suddenly opened its base camp Guangling, affecting the four southwestern provinces back and forth, and mobilizing more than 100,000 troops. They are all front-line troops in the West Army that can really fight hard. , Is it true that the Long Family is going to rescue the Luzhou Army trapped in Yanzhou and Shangjing? What a shame! What exactly does Long Yang want to do? The general with Li Long's face vacillated and his military newspaper squeezed into a ball. The mobilization of a hundred thousand troops did not even get the court's approval. This in itself was enough to stoke the sky. As the number one soldier in the empire, how could Long Yang not know the emperor and the court. What a jealousy of the Long Family West Army who has always refused to obey orders!
The Dragon’s family has left Guangling!
The news was handed over by Li Long, and the whole court was shaken.
Li Long turned pale when he saw the emperor, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes. He clasped his hands tightly on the dragon chair, making the emperor afraid. Li Long couldn’t help this speculation in his heart. It’s no wonder that the emperor was scared. The flattering Zhangwu army’s combat power has not been restored. The army’s recruits accounted for more than half, and half of the southern Luzhou army capable of fighting was trapped in Yanzhou. Go to Beijing. The current force remaining in Luzhou is 60,000 to 70,000. It is also necessary to guard against the ambitions of the southern mountain barbarians. At this time, there is almost no extra force to be deployed. The Long family is sitting on 200,000 elites, although the generals are in the court. In our mouths, we have always expressed contempt for the true combat power of the Long Family's Western Army, thinking that the Long Family, who has resisted the Western Barbarian for decades, is not qualified to be compared with the Yanzhou Army that can resist the grassland army to go south! Flattering two military masters. Even more often, he said that if it weren't for worrying about being out of the same vein, that's why he would have tolerated the Long Family. As long as your majesty has a military order, Guangling will be taken within one month!
But when I heard that the Dragon’s army did not fight out of Guangling, the generals who flattered Zhangwu were silent at this time. As the fourth figure in the military cabinet, Chang Shi Li Long, he was very concerned about those who flattered Zhangwu’s army. Virtue is too familiar, not to mention the chaos of combat power. The ability to speak big is better than one, and now I only have a sneer in my heart.
No matter how bad the Western Army’s combat power is, it’s still an army that has experienced decades of war. Not to mention that Longyang, the No. 1 general of China and Biyadh, is sitting in town. Not to mention that the current strength is greatly damaged. Even the flattering Zhangwu armies in the heyday may not have the confidence to dare to fight with the Western army. They went to stop Long Yang, they were looking for death. Long Yang was the first general who really fought countless wars. Since the army came out of Guangling, the western army selected must be the elite of the elite, and then they would be able to slaughter Hanglin directly. With Longyang's ability, the bloodthirsty spirit of the Western Army fighting Ximan all the year round, if it really comes towards Hanglin, there will not be several times the force, I am afraid that no one can stop it.
I am afraid that I will continue to move south. I once vowed not to leave the Long Family in the Southwest. This time, if I leave the Southwest, it may really be possible to transform the dragon! Li Long sighed and lowered his head. At this moment, another military report came from outside. As the Chief Secretary of the Military Ministry, Li Long walked to the entrance of the main hall to receive the report. After a glance, he was stunned. The direction of the one hundred thousand troops was northward. . . . To the north, Li Long was a little dazed, and then hit a Ji Ling, it was Yanzhou! One hundred thousand western troops went to Yanzhou! what's the situation? What's messier than him is that after learning the news, the wind direction suddenly reversed in the hall, and various voices sounded.
What does Longyang want to do! Without the command of the military headquarters, without the military lead granted by your majesty himself, to drive one hundred thousand troops out of the southwest, this seems to be a rebellion!
Is there anyone else in the eyes of this husband? It’s too arrogant. Your Majesty has already ordered the Luzhou Army to withdraw south. What kind of Yanzhou rescue is you going to do at this time? Do you want to hit your Majesty in the face? Besides, if we really want to rescue Yanzhou, it is natural for us generals to think about it, he is a man from the southwest, what kind of mind he is! "
"The battle of Yanzhou, your Majesty naturally has an arrangement in his heart, so you don’t care what to kill and destroy your majesty’s calculations, what should I do? The civil servants are very angry, it seems that everyone is extremely loyal, watching Longyang look like seeing An ant fell into the soup. Since the Long Family’s goal is not Hanglin, the courage of the ministers and generals will naturally come back.
Long’s family heading north, it is natural to go to Yanzhou. It is something that I know well. Now the entire war in China and Bahia is concentrated there. 300,000 grasslanders are going south, the Luzhou army is trapped and killed in Beijing, and the Luzhou army is in the southwest. The relationship between the Long family has always been good. Sitting and watching the retreat of the Luzhou army will be in danger of being completely wiped out. There is nothing wrong with sending troops to support the night market.
But the emperor’s angry face has shown that the emperor is very unhappy and that the Long Family is going to be unlucky! This time it was the Long Family West Army who was going to go to Yanzhou, but unfortunately, the Luzhou Army was on top. Now that it’s alright, Long Yang rushed forward by himself. At this time, who would dare to stand up and help the Long Family to say something, that is to die! Not being copied and cut by the whole family is considered to be a mighty grace
"Your Majesty, this move by the Western Army should be to alleviate Yanzhou's predicament, and it is also a good intention." Unfortunately, there are really people who are not afraid of death in the crowd. A person stood tremblingly and saw the person who stood up to help the Long Family. Everyone was shocked. It was the Prime Minister Li, who was standing at the top of the civil servants. There was no expression on the old face, just a slight voice. Take a bit of old gasp.
The ministers bowed their heads one by one, and the generals' eyes were shining. After the emperor's face was taken aback for a moment, his eyebrows were tightened together and his fingers were squeezed. How could it be him! Ever since Tang Lu, the boss of the Military Cabinet, was dismissed because of the fiasco of the Imperial Capital. The first position of the military commander has remained vacant, so that the position of Prime Minister Li Tai suddenly became aloof. As the first of the four main gates, the Li family has experienced two dynasties for more than three hundred years. He is also an advocate of Confucianism. He has always been the spiritual leader of the empire’s civil servants. Mrs. Li has been in charge of the empire’s internal affairs for decades, and he is also a great Confucian in the world.
So his gaze just swept the civil servants behind him seemingly inadvertently, and the civil servants immediately disappeared. On Pinmen, many people need to call him the suzerain. The literati in China and Biyah place great importance on Pinmen's inheritance. If it is a low class, even if it climbs into the position of important minister, it will be spurned by the entire literati class
’Before the situation is clear, the minister believes that it should be treated with caution"
Mrs. Li doesn't seem to feel the changes around her. As the first civil minister, she has been accustomed to wind and rain for decades. There has been no sound since just now, now it is. At this moment, when he speaks, he is like a kind teacher. There was peace in the voice, like Feng Mulin. It was originally a messy hall, and it became deadly silent.
Li Xiang actually helped the Long Family to speak! Many people’s eyes are puffed up
Who doesn’t know that Long Yang had criticized the Li Family as a group of cold-blooded nerds two years ago. For the sake of the so-called Lizheng Chaozun, regardless of whether he was innocent or not, he forced a good Li family woman to death, that woman. , Is Mrs. Li’s daughter, Li Yuehua, a jewel-like figure in the Li family’s palm,
It is said that the Li family intended to support this woman as a noble concubine, but before she was sent to the palace, something suddenly happened. Someone accused the woman that the Li family sent to monitor the emperor’s eyeliner, and even produced some evidence. The case was full of evidence at the time. In an uproar, the Li Sect confessed his innocence and asked himself to kill the woman. Many people still remember how the prime minister Li Tai signed his name on the proclamation of the execution of his daughter.
At that time, this old man with white robe and gray hair was so cold as frost. After only a few years of work, he has become so old.
Li Tai still said to herself, "It’s just that the southwest is the empire’s heavy land. It costs a lot of money and food every year, and it is the first line of defense against the western barbarians. Once a problem occurs, the situation is unthinkable. The minister thinks that since Longyang General Worrying about Yanzhou, not in Guangling, it is better to appoint Longyang General to guard Yanzhou and re-appoint a western army commander to take over the western military assets. Otherwise, it will be irresponsible to the entire empire!"
The prime minister said that Longyang was appointed as the guard of Yanzhou and the commander of the West Army was re-established?
The young emperor of Central Biya raised his eyebrows sharply, and his eyes burst out with indescribable gleam. In what Li Tai said just now, it was really the **** smell of nakedness. The emperor has not felt this smell for a long time. Interesting! It is said that Lao Zai used only one mouth for quite a while to say that Song Kexu, the general of the Song tribe who had rebelled in the South, was killed, and the 37 barbarians who planned to kill each other gave Song Que, the current head of the Song tribe, a chance to rise to power. There are really a few truths. Now with a few words, he kicked Longyang out of the southwest, not to mention, and left a big piece of cake, making these generals want to go to the southwest now, afraid of running. It's late, have the good things been divided up by others?
"Who do you think can be the commander of the Western Army?"
The emperor’s face flickered, and his heart was almost smiling, and the anger just disappeared. Take advantage of Longyang’s absence, and replace the main general of the Western army! Just click on a Yanzhou guard who does not know the so-called Yanzhou guard. This kind of transaction is simply a profit. Yanzhou guard envoy, that is the position of Yanzhou military master at that time. In terms of rank and power, it is no worse than the Western military chief. Yang is more than enough, but is there still a Yanzhou army in Yanzhou now? There are 300,000 prairie people who have killed people and have red eyes! When the 100,000 Western Army in Longyang ran away from the prairie people, I’m afraid there won’t be many people left. The next time the prairie people go south, Longyang will still be in front. Everyone just needs to watch the show behind.
As expected, it was the prime minister who saw the distance. Now it’s not the time to care about what Long Yang is going to do. The emperor thought about it in his heart, his eyes flashed, and the generals below each held their heads high, hoping to take their most mighty side. Showed to the emperor, the chief generals who flattered Zhangwu and Wu's armies even showed their full momentum, and their suffocated faces blushed.
As long as the Western Army does not come to Linhang and Longyang is not in Guangling, what else can be afraid of!
The Long Family is fertile land. Since the Long Family has been entrenched in the six southwestern provinces, the taxes they have paid are almost gone. Moreover, the Long Family of the Western Army continued to cry poor to the court. The empire invested so much money in the southwest. After decades, all of them became the Long Family’s industry silently. This has always been a heart disease of the empire. /
If it weren't for the empire, the dragon family would need to be raised. There will be more energy and financial resources devoted to dealing with the people of the northern grasslands. What kind of emperor catastrophe is there! Long Yang left Guangling by himself, and the tiger left the nest. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Although Long Yang transferred a hundred thousand dragon family troops away. However, there are more than 100,000 left in the southwest, and even the six provinces in the southwest. Although a little barren, it is better than the areas that have been affected by the war.
Longyang marched northward and killed 300,000 grassland troops. Life or death is still a matter of life and death. It is best to lose both. Although the southwest is the Longjia chassis. But after all, it is still the province of the Central and Bahia Empire. Although the military is controlled by the Long family, the local officials are appointed by the court. Without Longyang's six provinces in the southwest, your majesty passed an army order, and the change of the six provinces in the southwest is not just a sentence! With the tax support of the six provinces in the southwest, and holding the Western Army more than 100,000 in hand, I dare not say that it can be restored to its heyday, or at least it can stabilize the current situation. There is no need to hear the prairie people go south, the first reaction is to think of this and continue running.
"The two armies of flattery Zhangwu were originally branched out from the Western Army decades ago. Now that your Majesty wants to retake the Western Army, it is naturally the chief general who flattery Zhangwu. They are all a family, and they can be integrated much less. "Pressure" The flattering army general Chen Dongyang is tall and louder, and the shaking palace is drenched with dust.
"I've been separated, is it interesting to go back?" Someone in the other generals immediately said unconvinced, "Said it is a family, in fact, they are almost the same as their enemies. If you are sent to the Western Army, I am afraid that the Western Army itself will not Do it!"
Who is " ", stand up and say if you have the ability, what kind of ability is hiding in the dark"
Chen Dongyang was angry and flattered the Zhangwu army’s split in the past. It is indeed a bad reputation. For decades, it has been inconsistent with the Western army. It has become an undisclosed secret, but now it’s being told. Just like slapping his face in public, Li Dongyang's arms wrapped in fine iron armor were raised heavily, his eyes looked at the commanders and generals behind him one by one, the bulging ones were like he was about to pounce on a bite, and the generals were full of contempt. Staring at him without saying a word, everyone is a general, rolling out of the sea of blood from the dead mountain, you Li Dongyang can kill, won't we?
"Well, since the Prime Minister proposed it, let the Prime Minister decide who will be the commander of the Western Army!"
The emperor looked at the generals who were about to fight below, his face was cold and scared, and when he heard the western army leaving Guangling, all of them shrank their heads and pretended to be grandsons. When they heard that they were going into the southwest, they all ran out to be heroes. Why did you raise this group of people! Since it was proposed by Mrs. Li, the emperor believed that the prime minister already had a candidate in his mind,
"Master Prime Minister!"
Hearing the emperor’s words~ IndoMTL.com~ Everyone's eyes were all looking at Prime Minister Li Tai. There were bursts of fire in the eyes of the ministers. Although the ministers did not often serve as military chiefs, the empire’s Historically, there is no shortage of examples of civilian ministers serving as chief military officers. Who is not jealous of such fat as the Western Army!
The generals’ eyes are green. Looking at the wrinkled old face of the old prime minister, it’s like looking at the beautiful lady in the world, wishing to show promise
I didn’t know if I hesitated, or I felt too embarrassed. The Lord Li, who has been in trouble for decades, gave a dry cough and said in a gloomy tone. "If your majesty asks the minister to choose, the minister recommends Song The chief of the clan, Song Que, is the commander of the Western Army!"
"This..."The young emperor's mouth is wide open
" The prime minister is crazy, right? "The whole court is turned upside down,
" Your Majesty, the empire has just been erected, and more than a hundred thousand western troops are entrenched in the southwest. The sky is high and the road is far away. It is a self-contained system. The minister thinks that no matter who is sent, he dare not say that he will not become the first Two Longyangs! "At this time, Prime Minister Li Tai summoned the strength of his whole body and said in a loud and loud voice. "Song Que enters the southwest, and the Western Army will not comply. Longyang cannot take care of it in Yanzhou. The only thing the army can rely on is the court, and the court can also use Song wealth to nourish the Western army. The Song family’s financial resources are becoming increasingly scarce, but the Western army has become the Western Army of the Court, the West of Your Majesty. Army!"
