Chapter 109: Black and White
Apology: The total area of the Great Vietnam border occupied by the Mongolian army should be tens of thousands of square kilometers. The gunman did not pay attention when writing this point, and wrote a few thousand square kilometers casually. Yixiao was generous, ashamed, covered her face without any face
.Thanks to book friends for pointing out my mistakes!
Li Jia has twelve sons, but he himself knows that among these people, the only ones who are truly talented, ambitious and skilled are the eldest and fourth brothers. They gathered behind them.
If a large number of supporters really choose another person, they have to raise their butcher knife and blood flows into a river. If they don’t kill all the supporters behind them, they won’t be able to sit firmly in their seats when the time comes,
It is the beginning of civil strife.
And this is something that Li Jia never wants. The Dayue Dynasty now needs stability and a smooth transition. If a dynasty is established for too long, there will be problems such as this, just like a person, as old as he is, the various functions of the body.
There will be a recession. If these problems are not solved, then the vast empire will be as difficult as his predecessor to resist external aggression and internal erosion. Under the double blow, it will slowly become weak and then burst out.
Fall down.
The contradictions within the empire have become more and more serious. Now the countermeasures formulated by the court can only alleviate these contradictions to the greatest extent but cannot be fundamentally resolved. Severe land annexation and a large amount of wealth are concentrated in the hands of a few people, and the polarization is extremely serious.
The opposition between the bureaucratic and gentry class and the bottom-level people has reached the verge of the volcanic eruption. A spring flood in Binzhou caused a riot in the people. Although it was quickly suppressed, it sounded the alarm for Li Jia, and domestic problems.
It must be solved.
Annan, the southernmost part of the empire, Goryeo has been suppressed for hundreds of years and is now ready to move. Conflicts and frictions are rampant on the border. In the eastern coastal areas, pirates often land on large scale and attack the people are suffering. It can be said that the current Dayue is in the current situation.
It is completely riddled with holes. If one does not respond properly, a big problem will arise.
He handed over the problems of Binzhou, Ezhou and Huzhou to the fourth child for handling. The information he received at present disappointed Li Jiayi. Yes, the fourth child quickly stabilized the granaries of these empires. From the surface, he looked at it.
, What is the competent job, but in Li Jia's opinion, it is still a headache to treat the head and foot pain to treat the foot. It does not fundamentally solve the problem. What annoyed Li Jia even more is that in these three places, Li Xiao is very powerful
The earth eliminates dissidents, uproots some of the forces belonging to the boss, and inserts their own hands. It is a completely different attitude of following me and prospering me and perishing me. As a king, this black and white government method has made Li Jia very much
Disappointment.
As for the boss, Li Jia’s performance in the previous paragraph made him even more heartbroken.
For this position, the two of them did not care about Da Yue's safety at all, or did not see or understand. Is this their best son?
Li Jia needs to choose a successor with such courage. Unfortunately, her health is getting worse and worse. Judging from the evasive performance of the imperial physicians, how long he can last is a problem.
Li Jia knew that he had no time to cultivate another heir, so he could only pick one of these two. A few days ago, he gave Li Xiao an imperial edict with a more hidden meaning, pointing out that he was
I hope he can understand the problem of the three states and stop it in time.
And the boss, this time he invaded people, he could also give him a chance to show off.
Li Jia coughed violently, and took away the snow-white silk silk covering her mouth. The shocking blood stains on it looked particularly dazzling. She kept silent and put the silk silk into her sleeves.
He took the teacup handed over by Eunuch Huang, rinsed his mouth, and glanced at the four kneeling people with sharp eyes, "Get up!"
"Thank you Your Majesty!" The four of them felt as if they were pardoned. They knew that the most annoying moment of His Majesty had passed, so they stood up with their hands down.
"Sit down and talk!"
Eunuch Huang quickly came over to bring brocade stools for the four people, placed them on the left and right sides of the bed, and the four people leaned sideways and sat half of their butts on the stool.
"Pengju, tell me the specific situation." Li Jia said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Guan Pengju responded, "Three months ago, on July 16, the governor of Lucheng, Sima Rui, learned that the desert Yingzui Rock Horse Bandits had launched a large-scale invasion of the border, burned, killed and looted, and led Lu to the death. More than 10,000 soldiers from four battalions of the city border went out of Lucheng to encircle and suppress the horse bandits. On July 19, the Yingzui Rock Horse Bandits fought fiercely on the border, wiped out the Yingzui Rock Horse Bandits, and killed the horse bandit leader Chen Feng. , but I never expected that the Mongolians who had a peaceful covenant with our dynasty would seize this opportunity and take advantage of the emptiness of Lucheng and launch a large-scale invasion. Tens of thousands of tribal cavalry and ten thousand tent soldiers attacked Lucheng, and there was only one Lucheng. The defenders of more than 3,000 people from the camp fought hard and were still defeated. Deputy General Wang Min of Lucheng was killed in this battle. The remnants broke out under the leadership of the battalion Yao Meng. Lucheng was broken."
"After Lucheng was broken, tens of thousands of Mongolian troops entered the country in large numbers. Sima Rui, the garrison general of Lucheng, retreated while fighting, and led more than 10,000 troops to successfully get rid of the Mongolian army and retreat into Tanzhou. The Mongolian people immediately divided their troops to Xiangshan Prefecture and Anqing City attacked, and the Xiangshan Prefecture Guard Han Zhong turned against the enemy, led his troops to surrender, and was named King Yi by Meng Wang Wuda. Anqing City, led by the guard Yue Ming, fought to the death to protect Anqing. Loss, this is the information from three months ago, and it was delivered today, but it is not known whether Anqing is still in our hands."
"This thief Han Zhong should kill the nine clans!" Li Jian said angrily.
Li Jia sneered, "Okay, OK, this military newspaper is well written, Pengju, although Sima Rui lost Lucheng, he preserved the strength of his subordinates and retreated into Tanzhou, And he also wiped out the stubborn bandits who had been entrenched in the desert for many years. It seems that he has some credit?"
Guan Pengju lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, from the analysis of what we have obtained, most of the bandits of Eagle-billed Rock Horses have colluded with the Mongolian tribe to lure Sima Rui to fight. Sima Rui was in a silence in judgment, which led to the loss of Lucheng because of the small If you lose great things, even if you have minor achievements, you will be unable to overcome great things."
Li Jia looked at Guan Pengju. This person was a military boss. The entire Guan family had a great influence in the army. Most of the children were generals in the army. However, this person has always been unbiased between the eldest and the fourth brother, which is also He can firmly be at the foundation of the army, otherwise he would have taken him down long ago. Now it seems that Guan Pengju still puts himself out of the matter and does not want to offend any party.
"Father, Han Zhong rebelled against the enemy and surrendered to the enemy, he should be severely punished. He asked his father to issue an order to arrest this person's family in the Central Plains and be imprisoned." Li Jian said.
Li Jia waved her hand, "Don't ask me about these things, just do things according to the rules."
"Yes!" Li Jian said.
"Your Majesty, Deputy General Wang Min of Lucheng, died bravely. Please give your Majesty the imperial edict to praise him and reward his family with great reward. The Anqing guardian Yue Ming was calm in the face of danger and led his troops to fight against the invasion of the Mongols, strive to ensure that the country is not lost, and even more importantly, Please give me a generous reward." Cao Yi said.
"Your Majesty, according to the Lucheng Military Newspaper, Wang Min's family was also in trouble during the battle of Lucheng." Guan Peng said.
"What a pity that such a loyal general!" Li Jia sighed, "He Bai, after going down, you go and check if Wang Min has any other relatives in the Central Plains. If so, choose a promising inheritor who has a promising successor.
Go to Wang Min’s sect to inherit his incense and restore his official position.”
"Yes, Your Majesty is kind, and I will do it immediately after I go down."
"As for Yue Ming, he will remain calm in the face of danger, fight against the enemy bravely, and strive to ensure that his country and territory are not lost. He will continue to pass the imperial edict and give him the title of General Zhongwu!"
"Yes, Your Majesty is wise!" The four of them bowed. Yue Ming himself was just a General Mingwei from the fourth rank. He was promoted to three levels in a row and became a General Zhongwu of the fourth rank. The so-called heroes come from the times.
But in this case, if there were no such war, Yue Ming might have to survive until he retired and become a general of Zhongwu, and now he will be a three-level jump.
"What should Sima Rui do?" Li Jia looked at the four of them and asked.
Li Jian lowered his head. Sima Rui was the man he strongly recommended. His Majesty the Emperor knew this. It was better not to speak at this time. Severe punishment would make the father feel that he lost his car and would let him go.
It will make the father feel that he is covering up. No matter how he says it, it is better to remain silent.
Guan Peng raised his eyes to see his nose and looked at his heart. At this time, his heart was really regretful. If he had withstood the pressure from the eldest prince and insisted on not replacing Feng Congyi, there might not be such a thing in front of him, but now it is the case.
It has been released, and there is no need for me to jump out and offend the prince.
He Bai also lowered his head and said nothing. The original deputy minister Wang Lin was from the Fourth Master. He was caught by the eldest prince and kicked him out. This is why he has his own position. Like Guan Pengju, he is also a wall
Sect, neither side can offend.
Cao Yi thought for a while and bowed: "Your Majesty, Sima Rui lost his troops and generals and lost his territory, so he should be severely punished."
Li Jian's heart jumped up and looked up at Cao Yi. At this moment, Cao Yi's eyes also looked over. When the two of them looked at each other, Li Jian turned his head and Cao Yi felt a little nervous, "But
I think this person should not be punished too severely at this time.”
Li Jia said, "What do you say? If you don't punish this person seriously, how can you convince the public?"
Cao Yi said: "Although Sima Rui lost his territory and lost his power, he still preserved the main force of Lucheng army without major losses and retreated safely to Tanzhou. After experiencing war, these more than 10,000 soldiers will surely become the most anti-Mongol people in the future.
If the frontier army punishes the chief general at this time, it will inevitably damage the morale of the army and will be unfavorable for the subsequent counterattack."
Li Jia nodded, "You continue to say."
"Secondly, Tanzhou has been under the rule of Sima Ren for many years. Sima Rui retreated to Tanzhou and met with Lord Sima Ren. Tanzhou will surely be stable, Tanzhou will not be lost, and the places occupied by the Mongols are nothing more than
Some poor places have nothing to do with the overall situation.”
Li Jia nodded slightly. Cao Yi was hinting that Tanzhou was the territory of the Sima family. Sima Ren had been in Tanzhou for a long time. If he ordered Sima Ren severely punished, it would be difficult to protect any accidents in Tanzhou. Han Zhong, a
The mere guard of Xiangshan Prefecture surrendered to Mengren, wouldn’t he be named King of Yi? This Wuda was such a big deal.
"Send the order to continue. Sima Rui lost his troops and lost his territory. He should have been severely punished. I think he was good at managing the army. He did not cause any major losses to the army. He reduced his salary by two levels and fined him two years, so he immediately rectified his military equipment in order to counterattack.
”
"Your Majesty is wise." The four of them bowed.
"I sent an order to Sima Ren, the troops under Tanzhou, prepare for war with great care, and ensure that Tanzhou is not lost, so that after the reinforcements of the court arrive, a counterattack will be launched."
"Pengju, the Ministry of War should quickly prepare for this matter."
"Yes, Your Majesty. I just don't know who your Majesty wants to be the chief general who will fight back this time?"
Li Jia closed her eyes for a while, "Go, boss!"
Li Jian was startled, hesitated for a moment, and stood up, "My son accepts the order!"
"This is what you want in advance, you can go down." Li Jia waved his hand and said.
"Yes, I will leave." Li Jian and others knelt on their feet, turned around and came out one after another.
"Cao Yi!" Li Jia suddenly shouted behind her.
"Your Majesty!" Cao Yi turned around.
"Let the fourth brother go back to Beijing, and in addition, summon the retired Feng Congyi to the capital. I want to meet him."
