Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

"But now, His Majesty proclaims the emperor and founded the country. The concubines of the Duke of Qin's mansion, the concubines who were concubines, the concubines who were concubines, and those who gave birth to princes gave birth to princes. The meanings of these are different. "

"Especially the empress who gave birth to a prince, although I can't see anything now, in a few years, think about it..."

Liu Qiyuan frowned:

"This point, Liu almost neglected!"

Lai Zongdao chuckled, still at ease. In terms of ability to handle affairs, there are many courtiers who are better than him, but if he is to see through the current situation and protect himself wisely, he is the first, and no one can be the second.

"Don't think too much about it. Your Majesty is a nostalgic person, and he is extremely tolerant towards those who have meritorious deeds."

"Back then, Lu Xiangsheng could be said to have rebelled. He was just idle, and he didn't even lose his title."

"You have managed the treasury of the household department and managed the court's money bag all these years. You have worked hard and made great achievements. As long as you don't make big mistakes, you will be an extremely talented minister in the future, assist the emperor of the left, and create a generation of prosperity. You are much better than me!"

As far as this is concerned, Lai Zongdao's eyebrows are also dark.

In this battle, the victory is in hand, and the overall situation has been decided.

After this battle is over, the next step is to pacify the troubled times and stabilize the interior, and then, to create a generation of prosperity!

However, he wasted his whole life, witnessed the desolation and collapse of the dynasty, and finally saw the dawn of the prosperous age, and he became the prime minister...

But... at his age, I'm afraid he can't support it. He has witnessed this prosperous age of Zhaowu with his own eyes...

such a pity……

Chapter 427 Arrival

"Report, Qianfengying and Houjin encountered each other, three trial battles, one loss and two wins!"

"Report, the left and right guards of Xuanwu encountered Houjinzhenghuangqi and were attacked by the enemy, please help!"

"Report, the Fenwu Camp of the Beijing Army found the main force of Daishan in Xiaohezhuang!"

"Report..."

While the galloping horses galloped, the messengers who went to and from various ministries kept shouting, the military situation in the tent was changing, and the atmosphere seemed extremely tense.

The so-called encirclement is to avoid the enemy's frenzied counterattack in despair.

But now, surrounded on all sides, it is like catching a turtle in a urn!

In addition, Jin's lair is in danger, under the extreme terror of extermination of the country, and under the extreme despair, it is undoubtedly obvious to fight back frantically.

"Now that the back road is cut off, even if Jiannu brings a lot of cattle and sheep with the army, it will definitely not be able to last for too long."

"I think it's better to besiege and not attack, to divide and win, and to destroy the slaves when the food and grass are exhausted!"

"No, there is not much food and grass for slaves, so do we have enough food and grass?"

"The Ministry of Households has notified that the grain and grass can last up to 20 days. Although Liaodong has already transported the seized grain and grass, Liaodong is thousands of miles away, and the grain and grass are transported thousands of miles away. The road consumption is seven or eight, and the burden is too great. .”

"Food and grass are not easy to come by, so they cannot be consumed in vain. Moreover, the grain and grass collected in Liaodong will be used in the next battle of Liaodong, and North Korea must be pacified. We must not waste money with Houjin, and we must make a quick decision. !"

"Now Houjin is fighting back wildly, and the battle is quick, and there are too many casualties!"

"Compassion is not in charge of soldiers and righteousness is not in charge of wealth. It is advisable to give advice on important military affairs, to be coy, to worry about this, to worry about that, what a shame!"

"you……"

Discussions resounded throughout the tent, and the Son of Heaven stood alone in front of the map, his expression indifferent, but he never said a word.

Any strategy, any tactical arrangement, and any battle plan are all just illusions.

The real root cause is how to finish this battle of extermination of the country with limited supply of food and grass!

He doesn't need to worry about these things with the general staff's plan. What he needs to worry about is not the war, but how to solve the imminent problem of food and grass!

For this battle, he has let go of Mongolia. If due to the problem of food and grass, he can't do his best to Houjin, then this battle will really be a laborious effort to shake the foundation of the country. It must continue again, and before long, it will become a big problem again!

"I pass on my decree to order the Bank of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare 30 tons of grain and grass within one month and transport it to the front line!"

After speaking, Li Xiu pondered for a while, then fixed his eyes on the land in the south of the Yangtze River on the map, this land of wealth that had gone out of control, and then gave another order.

"Immediately send a fast horse to the south of the Yangtze River and tell Yan Shun that the rebels in the south of the Yangtze River are rampant. If you don't accept Wang Hua, you don't need to worry about it. You should kill chickens and scare monkeys to make an example."

"Order Denglai's navy to go south to assist in the transfer of grain and grass from the south of the Yangtze River to the north!"

As soon as the voice came out, the dispute in the tent stopped suddenly, and only after a while did the general speak up to take orders.

Although the Son of Heaven didn't mention the food and grass coming from the south of the Yangtze River, it is obvious that the will has been revealed very clearly.

Killing chickens to scare monkeys, given the current chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, the chickens to be killed are naturally not small!

Copy a few big families in the south of the Yangtze River, money and food, naturally there will be!

"This battle should be decided quickly, and Hou Jin will fight with all his might, so I'll stay with you to the end!"

"In this battle, we must completely eliminate the troubles of the post-Golden Nuzhen!"

"According to the order!"

The generals did not dare to neglect, and immediately took orders.

The military staff also changed their disputes, and discussed the tactics around the keynote set by the emperor.

The messengers galloping back and forth outside the tent reported the military situation of the various ministries, and at the same time issued the military orders of the center to the various ministries.

The brutal offensive and defensive battle broke out unreservedly in this important town of Xuanfu, under the siege from all sides!

And this war under the evolution of the war situation has undoubtedly attracted the attention of the whole world.

If it was said that the Mongol Houjin Alliance's conquest was a great encouragement to those with ulterior motives in the world, then the appearance of Shanhaiguan's great victory was a blow to the head, which caught countless people with ulterior motives in the whole world by surprise.

And Mongolia retreated, Houjin fell into a tight siege, and the appearance of this war was to make the so-called Fanheng Fuming, from boiling to the apex, fall to the lowest point!

The so-called prophecy that Daheng must perish, under the evolution of the battle situation, is like a joke, which only adds to the laughter!

The news spread all over the world, even if it was the boiling rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, it was cut in half in an instant, and there were not a few rebels who acted righteously.

The seemingly bright situation of anti-eternity and restoration of light was instantly cast a thick shadow under this news.

During this turmoil, another piece of news, like a tornado, swept across the land of Jiangnan and spread rapidly throughout the world.

Fujian.

Since Daheng was first established, Fujian governor Nan Juyi and Zheng Zhilong raised righteousness, and Fujian province has completely broken away from Daheng's already weak ruling system over Jiangnan.

With the evolution of the situation, the anti-Heng Fuming situation became more and more boiling. The most powerful Nanju Yizheng Zhilong Department seemed to be the head of the Jiangnan Rebel Army, and Fujian, naturally, became the center of the Jiangnan Rebel Army. In name, Remnant Ming's capital is located.

Respect Emperor Jingwu from a distance, and set the capital in Quanzhou Prefecture!

And on this day, the capital of the Ming Dynasty will also welcome its true owner.

Zhaowu two years, April 28th.

Quanzhou Port, which once created countless wealth for the Southern Song Dynasty and is now a gathering place for maritime merchants along the border, was completely martialized on this day for the first time, stopping the maritime trade that had never stopped despite the war.

The big bright sun and moon flags covering the sky and the sun fluttered in the harbor, and countless soldiers in mandarin duck battle robes stood upright in the harbor.

Nan Juyi, the governor of Fujian, Zheng Zhilong, the commander of the Fujian Navy, the leaders of the rebels from all over the south of the Yangtze River, and the officials of the Nanjing Ministry of War, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Officials, etc., all wearing brand-new Ming Dynasty robes, are all standing at the port at this moment On top of that, we are waiting for their sustenance and support in terms of legal principles and righteousness, the arrival of the great emperor, Emperor Jingwu!

But at this moment, outside the port, surrounded by warships, the emperor's dragon boat, which has been dressed up in a new way, is steadily stopping on the sea.

On the dragon boat, Emperor Jingwu and his officials, who had come here in a state of embarrassment, had already put on brand new dragon robes and official robes, and they all stood in the cabin with difficulty concealing their agitation.

"Your Majesty, Lord Nan, governor of Fujian, leaders of the rebel army, and officials of the Nanjing court are already waiting at the port."

A fast boat came galloping, and the general stepped on the dragon boat and knelt down to ask for instructions.

Zhu Cihong held the hem of his clothes tightly, suppressing the agitation in his heart, and a childish voice slowly sounded in the cabin.

"Pass down my will, and set off!"

"Your Majesty has a decree, please drive away!"

"Your Majesty has a decree, please drive away!"

The voices sounded, and the voices of delivering orders also came out from the cabin, and finally turned into one after another ordering flags to change, and the fleet that stopped the rain on the sea also set off slowly, escorting the Son of Heaven, towards the present name Go to the land of Daming above.

And the news of Emperor Jingwu's visit to Quanzhou, Fujian, the Son of Heaven, is also like the wind. Amid the turmoil of the people, it spreads rapidly to the whole world, adding a bit of unpredictability to the ever-changing world situation.

The progress of Fanheng Fuming seems to have ushered in a staged progress...

Chapter 428 April 28

April 28, the second year of Daheng Zhaowu.

On April 28th in the second year of Jingwu in the Ming Dynasty.

The Son of Heaven, Emperor Jingwu came to Quanzhou, the news came out, and for a while, the anti-constant trend that had been cast in the shadow due to the changes in the war situation in the northern border, under this news, suddenly rose like a flash of light.

Countless people with lofty ideals rejoiced for it, as if the arrival of the Son of Heaven would brighten up the anti-eternal situation.

In the midst of the joy, Emperor Jingwu and the officials of the capital, who had been drifting on the sea for several months, experienced the joy of the welcome ceremony when the royal driver arrived, but under one news after another, the joy died away!

In the Quanzhou government office, Emperor Jingwu gathered with all the officials to discuss the drafting of rewards, to reshape the Ming Dynasty, and to bring the rebels in the south of the Yangtze River under the majestic rule of the court. With the changing situation in Xinjiang, the atmosphere in the hall was instantly suppressed to the extreme.

After being isolated from the world for so long at sea, according to the expectations of the courtiers, even if Liaozhen and Shanhaiguan were defeated, the main force of post-Mongol gold would still have an absolute advantage.

But... being isolated from the world at sea for several months, and entering the world again, it seems that everything has changed!

Mongolia withdrew, Hou Jin was surrounded, and it was almost over!

If it continues like this, even if they reshape the court, it will not be long before the Daheng cavalry will go south. At that time, who can stop it?

The Southern Song Dynasty still insisted on several generations of monarchs, and their Nanming...

At this moment, the encouragement of the outside world seemed to be in stark contrast to the oppression of the court.

"Li Thief usurped the country and established it, and the treasury in the capital was empty. Now that most of the south of the Yangtze River has returned to Wanghua, and the water transportation has been cut off, it will be difficult to maintain Li Thief's money and food."

"The outcome of this battle is also unknown."

After a moment of silence, Shi Bangyao finally stood up and broke the silence.

"Besides, what's going on in the north, it's hard to influence Jiangnan in a short period of time. The most urgent thing is to reshape the government, establish the rule of law, and announce it to the world, so as to reassure the hearts of the people and the hearts of the soldiers!"

As soon as these words came out, the officials immediately understood that those who can stand here are naturally those who are loyal to Daming. Otherwise, no matter it is Nanjing or Beijing, they are all under the control of Daheng, and Daheng has not been harsh. These old ministers of the Ming Dynasty, why did they risk their lives and family to be involved in this turmoil.

What did Shi Bangyao mean by this? They are naturally all good friends.

Today's Jiangnan, although it seems that there are many masters, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the so-called masters are everywhere, so they are not all heroes.

If you don't quickly gather power and restore the majesty of the court, the Great Ming Dynasty's guide may only have a false name and become a plaything in the hands of ambitious people.

The ministers advised and deliberated that this is the first time that the court of the remnant Ming Dynasty has shown unique efficiency at this critical moment.

Conferring rewards, honors and support, gathering military power, organizing and training the Beijing army, and making decisions one by one are also extremely quick.

At this time, the young Emperor Jingwu obviously still had no right to speak, just like when he was in the capital, admonishing, allowing, and decree...

Perhaps the only difference is that now, the Empress Dowager Zhou, who used to listen to the government behind the curtain, is already living in the backyard, restricted by the officials who still have time to spare, and it is difficult for her to do anything in politics anymore.

The young Emperor Jingwu sat on the dragon chair and put on the dragon robe again, but his fate still seemed out of his control.

This seems to be Daming reborn from the ashes, and the future seems to be still unknown...

……

"If the troubles in the coastal areas are not eradicated, the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River will never be eradicated!"

Li Dingguo stood on the deck of the warship and looked at the scene of the warships in Quanzhou Harbor. Such an idea also came to mind again.

In the past, his impression of the situation in the south of the Yangtze River was still the same as when he arrived, thinking that maybe when he arrived, he would be able to capture it with his hands and calm the sea.

But when he arrived in Jiangnan, he understood why His Majesty attached so much importance to Jiangnan and the situation in the sea.

Who can imagine that a sea merchant, a pirate, and a warship are comparable to a navy of the imperial court.

Who would have imagined that a caravan's large-scale ocean-going business would bring in profits equivalent to, or even far greater than, the gold and silver income taxed by the Ming Dynasty for a year!

Why is it difficult to end the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River now?

The reason, in the end, is money and food!

Daheng was short of money and food, and only a small amount of money and food was needed to provide for the war in northern Xinjiang. In Jiangnan, they had to attack on a small scale and defend on a large scale.

And the rebels, entrenched in the sea, in the troubled times, without any previous restrictions, the daily tax revenue of Quanzhou Port is an astronomical figure, and there is no shortage of money and food!

And sea merchants and pirates, in this sea area, are almost intertwined and deeply entrenched!

The countless islands and reefs along the coast almost all have the footholds of sea merchants and pirates, and even naval strongholds!

In the past, the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty still existed, and under the influence of various interests, the Jiangnan Navy was still able to deter the sea merchants and pirates along the coast. exist.

The entire coastal waters can be described as a real group of demons dancing wildly!
