Chapter 464 Aftermath

Since the emperor came to the throne, life has not been easy.

He is the brother-in-law of Emperor Zhangzong Wanyan Jing, and the nephew of Wanyan Yongji. His accession to the throne itself is due to the chaos and out-of-control of the succession of the Dajin throne for several generations.

Before he ascended the throne, he lacked cronies around him, and the court was full of powerful ministers. After he ascended the throne, the Mongolian army swept across the region, wiping out the prestige of the court, and even the Khitan rebelled in the interior, the Red Coat Army in Shandong was rampant, and all parts of Shaanxi were harassed by Xixia.

That's all.At the beginning of this year, his son Wanyan Shouxu, king of Sui, went to Nanjing again, and fought against the imperial court according to the land of Henan.The original intention of this approach was nothing more than the son forcing Lao Tzu to stay in Zhongdu to fight against Mongolia, but as a result, the entire Dajin Kingdom seemed to be divided into two, and the soldiers and civilians of Dajin were all at a loss.

But the emperor persisted.

He was not a person of outstanding talent, and the most important thing for being promoted as emperor by Tu Danyi was his forbearance and perseverance, which was inversely proportional to the weakness and wavering of the previous emperor Wanyan Yongji.

Therefore, even if the situation is turbulent repeatedly, he has been trying to find ways to maintain the situation and solve the problem.

With his hard work, his position has gradually stabilized, and his power has become more and more like an emperor.

Not to mention any changes in the general situation, at least he has clearly overwhelmed the ordinary courtiers in the court, and by means of differentiation, promotion, suppression, and mobilization of energy, he has more and more complete control of Zhongdu City.

The Bureau of Eyes and Eyes, which he regards, is also getting more and more attention.When he sent his servants to monitor and visit various places, fewer and fewer people dared to obstruct or deceive them.

Of course, because the Bureau of Near Servants only uses the old people from the hidden mansion, it is inevitable that the good and the bad are mixed, and the work is negligent.A while ago, something went wrong in Qingshannu, and Guo Ning, the Dingjun, seized the opportunity and reached out to Liaodong.

However, Liaodong is always better than Shandong.It's not that the emperor underestimated Guo Ning, but Guo Ning was a Han after all. The vast and boundless Northeast Mainland, with countless tribes, was enough to kill Guo Ning's tens of thousands of people, making it impossible for him to have anything for at least three to five years. Big move.

As a result, the emperor's expectations were completely in vain.Not only did Guo Ning not get stuck in Liaodong, but he became more and more tyrannical.Just last month, he led an army out, swept the Red Coat Army, and took down the entire Shandong East Road in one go!
On the pearl screen next to the throne of the Da'an Hall, there is a map of the territory of Dajin.When he first heard the news, the emperor ordered people to add Guo Ning's name to the territory map as usual.

But he soon regretted it. The name appeared so close that he always remembered the situation when Guo Ning led the army to kidnap him that day.At that time, Guo Ning was polite to the emperor, but the contemptuous look in his eyes made the emperor more and more unhappy afterwards.That kind of look, as if looking at dead wood withered, like looking at a dying person!
The emperor immediately asked someone to throw out the pearl screen and chop it into firewood for the fire.He sent several capable servants and asked them to find a way to find out the real situation on Shandong East Road.

The emperor's heart was even colder when the servants inquired about the situation.

What happened to Guo Ning's military household system?Um?

Since ancient times, rebels, who have reached a certain level, have to be called kings.This Guo Ning did not claim the title of king, but he has completely implemented a new system in Shandong. This system has turned the complete and complex system originally established by the imperial court into waste paper!

This kind of thing seems to be limited to the grassroots, not so conspicuous.But the emperor already had enough political wisdom. He knew that this was digging the foundation of Dajin, and it was an unprecedented blow to the court.However, the imperial court has nothing to do.

Pu San Anzhen claimed to have controlled Yuhe, and was able to transport grain and fodder from Nanjing Road to support Zhongdu.But the emperor didn't dare to trust King Sui of Nanjing Road any more.And if Yuhe in the hinterland of Hebei was attacked by the Mongols again, the emperor would not dare to expect whether it would be able to maintain normal operation.

In the end, the more reliable sources of grain and fodder were always the Shandong East Road and the Song Kingdom in the Southern Dynasties connected by the Shandong Sea Road.

The richness of the Song Kingdom really makes people yearn for it, and Guo Ning controls this passage, and also controls the lifeline of Zhongdu.

The emperor absolutely didn't want to see this kind of situation, so he pinned his hopes on San Anzhen, the servant of Xuanfu envoy of Hebei Province.

Pu San Anzhen is the most capable and powerful general that the imperial court can send today.Before he left, the emperor personally issued a secret decree asking him to seize the opportunity to suppress the formation of the navy.

The results of it?
Although Pu San Anzhen's post-event memorial did not say much about it, but the Bureau of Attendants has a way and still inquired about the real situation.

It turned out that servant San Anzhen failed so disheartened.

And after this failure, the Servant Bureau also inquired about another matter.

This news was even more shocking than Guo Ning's unification of Shandong East Road, and it immediately aroused the emperor's fury and scolding.

Fortunately, if the servants of the Near Servant Bureau report any bad news recently, they often end up like this.They were all used to it, the emperor didn't have much strength, and rolling out with his strength didn't hurt very much.

The news is that Pusan ​​Anzhen decided to refer to what Guo Ning did on Shandong East Road after confronting Ding Haijun and suffered a loss. He decided to kill moths and reorganize Meng'an Mouk on the east and west roads of Hebei!
How could such a thing happen?What is servant Anzhen thinking!

Meng'an Mouk's ruin is actually nothing to calculate.

It is clearly recorded in the imperial court edition that not counting the Northeast inland, but only the various roads in the region, there are as many as one million people in Meng'an Mouke's military households who serve as food, but it is not known if there are one-fifth of them who can really fight. One, one-tenth.

The vast majority of Jurchens are either corrupt and depraved, or impoverished. In short, the strong and brave Wufeng does not exist.And for so many years, the huge amount of money and tens of millions of hectares of land awarded by the imperial court in order to maintain the Meng'an Mouke system have all fallen into the hands of high-ranking officials, nobles, subordinates and wealthy people, and have not benefited all the Jurchens.

The emperor also sentenced Yongding and Zhangde troops back then, and he himself was the one who shared the fat among them. He knew the way of it all too well.Just like the generals of the three generations of servant San Anzhen, he is also a person who eats his brains full of fat among them.

In the early years, the imperial court was still strong and powerful, and this kind of thing passed with one eye closed.

Nowadays, the imperial court needs to spend money and employ people everywhere. The emperor has already started to plan with his cronies around him. When the time is right, he must launch some kind of means to re-tighten the Meng'an Muke in various places.But he never thought that Pu San Anzhen would suddenly jump out to do this!
How complicated is the involvement behind this kind of thing, can you, a local official, do it?

Once this kind of thing starts, not only in Hebei, but also countless high-ranking officials will be cut off, and everyone will be heartbroken. Do you want the emperor to bear the burden of the heinous attacks that follow?

It won't work if you don't worry about it.The three generations of the Pusan ​​family are all relatives of the state, and Pusan ​​Anzhen's mother, Princess Xing, is the emperor's direct sister.He decided to do this, and countless people in the court would think that it was the emperor's order!

What's even more frightening is that Pu San Anzhen is really talented, just in case...if he really succeeds, Liumeng'an and Bamouke in Hebei, with a total of more than 2 households and more than [-] Jurchens, will be killed from then on. Who will I listen to in the future?

The Meng'an Mouke system is the foundation of Dajin, and it is also the foundation of the emperor. Once this foundation is consolidated, it turns into a servant, so what use does the emperor need it for?
Pu San Anzhen cut out such a large piece of the Jurchen's foundation, and she seemed to be the emperor's collaborator rather than a subordinate.One day when he marches into the central capital, how should the emperor treat him?And would he be thinking wildly, thinking about things that a courtier shouldn't think about?

Whether Pu San Anzhen was too smart or too stupid, the emperor couldn't tell.

In the final analysis, the Jurchen's own renunciation and morality are the cause of the disaster, which is much more terrifying than that guy Guo Ning's strenuous jumping!
Thinking of this, the emperor sat crookedly on the chair, his face was gloomy like the dark and gloomy eaves on the top of Da'an Hall.

During this month, several bad news in a row made him feel very bad. In order to relieve his emotions, he lingered on wine and sex, so the original serious and deep aura gradually diminished, and even when he was angry, he seemed a little sit I don't have a seat.

High above Zhongdu City, the clouds rolled up and gathered continuously.The last autumn rain in the second year of Zhenyou is coming, and after the autumn rain, severe cold is approaching.

When the clouds gathered in the central capital, it was also raining in Shandong Yidu Mansion.

The drizzle was fine and dense, some drenched the green plants and flowers in the courtyard, and some rolled over the pavilions, converging into thin rain lines, hanging from the eaves to the steps, and then rustling and shattered, as if Merge with the water vapor in the air.

Chu Cai stretched out his hand, feeling cool.

He turned sideways and said to Guo Ning: "Let's not talk about whether Pu San Anzhen's deeds will be successful in the end. His idea involves too much and is too complicated. From the day he implements it, the Meng'an Mouke Army from all over Hebei There will be chaos, and the people around Jingzhou will be displaced. In this case, don't expect the Hebei Army to be able to fight...the central capital will lose the nearest strong support."

He sighed and said in a low voice: "The Mongols will not let this opportunity go."

"That is to say, as one of the few Jurchens who still has some ideas and ambitions, Pu San Anzhen was stimulated by the failure of the trip to Shandong. Therefore, he was ambitious and wanted to do good things. Instead, he wanted the emperor, Put Zhongdu and Dajin into a trap."

Guo Ning chuckled twice: "Tell me, did he do it on purpose? Or did he do it unintentionally?"

"I really don't know."

Yicha Chucai thought for a while, then shook his head.He turned to ask: "How is the envoy preparing for such a situation?"

The situation in the world is getting more and more chaotic.More and more people saw clearly the weakness of the imperial court, and began to have their own ideas.From the standpoint of Ding Haijun, the rest of the Red Coat Army can be involved on the Nanjing Road side; on the Hebei Road, Pu San Anzhen's own family is in a mess, while Guo Ning and the Tiger occupy Shandong, no matter whether they advance, retreat or defend, they are all at ease.

So, whether to advance or retreat, to fight or to defend?
Guo Ning looked into the distance, and saw the trees in the garden undulating and swaying under the wind and rain.In the past few years, every winter, it must be very cold. After winter, these trees will not only face wind and rain, but also layers of ice and snow.

What kind of scenery is that? He has never seen it before he first arrived in Yidu.

He patted the scabbard on his waist and said, "The key to the situation has never been the mediocre people in Dajin territory, but the Mongols. We are ready and waiting for them to come!"
