Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

Without enough money and food, it is inevitable to swallow the disadvantages of this difficult situation!

"Jiangnan..."

The emperor took a deep breath, and the war that had been prepared for several months came to mind again.

"Words have been sent from the navy, and Zheng Zhilong has agreed to help the navy destroy the fake navy at any time."

The Son of Heaven said slowly: "In this battle, Xu Feng will be the commander in chief, Yan Shun will be the deputy commander, and we will put down Jiangnan!"

"Zhao Wu led the Fourth Regiment to battalion the Beijing Army to Juyongguan. If Lin Dan Khan goes south, you lead the army to support and coordinate the war."

"The end will follow the order!"

The two princes immediately bowed and bowed, and then took orders!

The Son of Heaven nodded, turned around slowly, and looked at the setting sun in the sky. His voice also sounded faintly: "There are many people with ulterior motives in the south of the Yangtze River. They must be cleaned up and no hidden dangers will be left behind!"

Hearing these words, Xu Feng and Zhao Wu couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. The emperor didn't say such a thing in the big tax case that swept the world back then!

The emperor didn't seem to notice the change in the expressions of the two, and the voice sounded again: "Only by breaking and standing can Jiangnan be stabilized!"

"If the natural calamity continues and the strategy continues, it is impossible for the imperial court to devote too much energy to paying attention to Jiangnan. You must take care of it!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will understand!"

Xu Feng responded immediately, even though he knew that his hands would be stained with boundless blood again soon, he didn't hesitate at all.

The Son of Heaven was silent for a moment, and finally, he said slowly, "Be kind to King Shou!"

After finishing speaking, the emperor took a deep breath and waved his hands: "Okay, let's go down and get ready!"

"This battle has dragged on for too long!"

……

Chapter 552 The Gunpowder Barrel

The next day, the sky was still dark, and the curfew in the capital had not yet been lifted, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes resounded on the streets of the capital.

The gate of the city was already opened, and amidst the flickering fire, the rushing iron cavalry poured out of the city gate without any hindrance. Finally, they slowed down slowly outside the city, and the iron cavalry stopped suddenly.

Lord Jingguo and Lord Liaoguo looked at each other, then they clasped their fists together and stared at each other. Without saying anything, they rode their horses again, and the two iron cavalry also galloped in diametrically opposite directions.

On the tower of the Imperial Palace, the Son of Heaven stands, through this long straight street, the outline of the gate of the outer city can be vaguely seen, but the rushing cavalry has disappeared.

Turning his eyes away, the emperor looked at the direction of Jiangnan, but he couldn't help feeling helpless in his heart.

Since he took power at the beginning of the year, he wanted to solve the Jiangnan problem. Now, after so many years, he really has the capital to solve the Jiangnan problem.

According to his prediction, he would naturally lead the army in person to suppress Jiangnan, but now that the situation in the north is such, how dare he act rashly.

There are so many disaster-stricken people, and the projects in various places alone have gathered millions of young and strong, as well as Lin Danhan who is about to move on the grassland.

It is no exaggeration to say that today's Daheng is a powder keg!

If you are not careful, you will explode yourself!

But he had to sit on the powder keg and try his best to cool down the powder keg!

Under today's great pressure, sending troops to recover Jiangnan is to borrow the wealth of Jiangnan, the wealth of maritime trade, to cool down the powder keg!

In such a situation, how could he dare to march in person? He even dared not leave the capital.

He must keep an eye on all parts of the world at all times, and urge the officials and generals all over the world to promptly and quickly resolve any hidden dangers that may detonate this powder keg!

"It's mainly the victims of the disaster. Keep an eye on it. Any changes must be dealt with in a timely manner. Don't let those with ulterior motives take advantage of them!"

The emperor spoke slowly, and Wang Wu and Li Ruolian, who were following beside him, responded quickly after hearing what the emperor said.

"War together, be it Mongolia or hypocrisy, this issue will never be let go, there must be trouble and instigation..."

The emperor was still talking about himself, what he was most worried about was the impact of natural disasters.

If the current nationwide disaster relief project is successful, it will naturally be a great benefit!

Whether it is repairing rivers and promoting these water conservancy projects, or repairing roads, it is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. Moreover, it also uses this to relieve the victims and soothe the hearts of the people in this year of natural disasters.

But it is undeniable that such a large-scale project really brought together millions of people to do things, and all of them are serious young adults. The scourge of Daheng blowing up and collapsing!

Anyone who is hostile to Daheng, as long as he can do it, will never let go of this good opportunity!

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei has already placed a large number of spies in various construction sites, and any disturbances will be noticed immediately!"

Li Ruolian immediately assured him that he had full confidence in this matter. This matter was aimed at the grassroots people, and they were also dilapidated disaster victims. Naturally, it was impossible for Jin Yiwei to have any interests involved in it.

Not too much involvement means that there will naturally be no obstacles to the arrangement of things.

In this way, with the size of Jinyiwei today, a group of spies will be placed, and some money and food will be spent, and some victims of the disaster will be recruited for careful work. A large monitoring network will be spread out. If there is any trouble, they don't need to deal with it, just throw it to the stability maintenance Officials and generals can.

The emperor glanced at Li Ruolian, nodded, and didn't say much. He always believed in the theory that eggs should not be put in one basket. It was a matter of national destiny, so obviously he couldn't rely on Jin Yiwei alone.

In fact, his concern for these victims is far greater than the upcoming war between the North and the South.

The Jinyiwei monitors, the intelligence forces of the inner court monitor, and even the control of secret performances by civil officials and generals, and even the inspection and audit by the Procuratorate and the Military Justice Department.

He has implemented almost all the means available in this era. Since the start of the disaster relief project at the beginning of the year, almost every month, hundreds of people have been ransacked and distributed.

And these people, without exception, are groups related to projects or disaster relief, or they are officials, officials, soldiers, generals, or businessmen involved in it...

The crimes are mostly unified, embezzlement of money and food for disaster relief, or collusion and reselling of money and food for disaster relief.

These two, no matter what kind, are obviously a great sin. If there is one stone less in disaster relief food, the victims will lose one stone, and if the disaster relief silver is less than one tael, the quality of a project will inevitably be reduced by one tael. .

For these, the emperor naturally put away all tolerance, and dealt with it when he found it. Regardless of the official power, he used human heads to cast an iron law, implemented it in the disaster relief system, and deterred those officials as much as possible.

This is the ultimate that the court can achieve on the bright side.

The rest are the secret methods, be it the Jinyiwei, the inner court, or secret performances, etc.

It is naturally impossible to be perfect. It can only be said that it should be maintained in a stable stage as much as possible, and the signs of hidden dangers should be extinguished in time.

This, of course, depends on whether the implementation and supervision system is efficient or not.

Then, there is the outcome of the war.

No matter how efficient and orderly the maintenance of internal and external stability is, it will be ineffective if external threats cannot be resolved.

"First south, then north..."

The emperor murmured softly, but he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy in his heart. Although the current situation has changed a lot compared to the past, there is always the possibility of something unexpected...

……

The movement of the tens of thousands of troops marching out naturally cannot be concealed from those who are interested. However, what makes the world puzzled is that the Beijing army that was marching out was actually heading towards the northern border town.

This kind of movement has made many people puzzled, but no matter whether it is an honorable court official, a hypocrite, or Mongolia, Daheng's movements are already extremely clear.

After all, for several months, they have continuously transported military equipment, money and food to the south of the Yangtze River. With such a big move, everyone can see what Daheng's movements are.

Under the cover of such an imminent war, even the puppet Ming Dynasty, which was fighting endlessly, became more peaceful. Although it was still noisy, the food, grass and military equipment allocated were also transported to the front line one after another. Now, who can get the money and food is also an uncertain thing.

In the prefectures and counties on the front line of the puppet Ming Dynasty, under such a strong atmosphere of war, another wave of refugees also appeared again.

The entire Nanming, in front of this unsettling Daheng army, also became chaotic before fighting...

……

Chapter 553 The first battle is successful, and the battle is resolved quickly!

In the middle of the night, the city of Nanjing, which was once the accompanying capital of the Ming Dynasty, was already completely silent.

Ever since Yan Shun led his army to Nanjing, the old order of the capital of the Ming Dynasty has been subtly changed.

Until the founding of Daheng, this capital of the Ming Dynasty, just like this rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, a storm of blood and fire suddenly swept across.

Under the situation of the sky at the beginning, in this south of the Yangtze River, Daheng naturally adopted a comprehensive contraction strategy, shrinking its limited troops and defending important areas.

Nanjing, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and with the assistance of the guards in various places, defended the major towns along the river and took the overall initiative in the war in the south of the Yangtze River.

Under such a contraction, the order in Nanjing, and even the order in other places in the south of the Yangtze River ruled by Daheng, naturally ushered in a comprehensive recasting.

Up to now, this city of Nanjing has completely shed all the privileges of the former Ming Dynasty. The former Nanjing court was ordered to be disbanded, and the courtiers fled to the Puppet Ming Dynasty, or surrendered to Daheng. The name of the accompanying capital has naturally disappeared long ago.

However, Nanjing is still the military and political center of Daheng in the south of the Yangtze River. In such a period of time when the war is approaching, the city of Nanjing, where this political and military center is located, is naturally implementing extremely strict martial law measures.

The curfew system was implemented, the soldiers in the city were patrolling, the towers were flickering with flames, one by one the soldiers stood on the towers, and the dark muzzles aimed at the outside of the city.

At this point in time, the gates of the city should naturally be closed, but at this time, the north gate of Nanjing is completely open, and even the suspension bridge has been put down.

Yue Guogong, who commanded more than [-] troops in Daheng in the south of the Yangtze River, and Hong Chengchou, the reform and inspection censor in the south of the Yangtze River, stood side by side at the city gate.

Not long after, the sound of rumbling horseshoes was faintly heard, and in the darkness, dots of fire appeared along with it.

War horses galloping, battle flags fluttering, and an iron cavalry faintly reflected in the vision of military officials at the city gate.

"Call..."

The Duke of Yasukuni reined in his horse and stood up, accompanied by the iron cavalry of the Yuqian Battalion, which also stopped in an orderly manner.

"See Lord Yasukuni for a humble position!"

All civil servants Wu Xun bowed their hands, while Yan Shun walked forward quickly.

Xu Feng got off his horse, looked around at the civil servants and generals, was silent for a while, and then cupped his hands: "In this battle, I hope that all the kings will be united and fight for Daheng!"

As soon as this remark came out, the civil servants and military generals present couldn't hide their agitation. Although the people present were parallel with civil servants and military generals, in fact, due to hypocrisy, almost all the ruling institutions of Daheng in several places in the south of the Yangtze River were suppressed. Wu Xun occupies, the so-called civil servants are mostly Wu Zhuanwen, and the real civil servants are pitifully few.

Most of the old ministers of the former Ming Dynasty who surrendered had already been transferred to various places in the north, or were raised in court.

Under such circumstances, it is obviously much more positive to treat war and make contributions!

The generals yelled a few words, and immediately, a group of people, also led by Xu Feng Yanshun, headed towards the government office in the city.

The government office is brightly lit, a pair of maps are displayed on the sand table, and the military staff in the palace walks and discusses, just like a fiery scene.

"Zheng Zhilong's side, has it been negotiated?"

As soon as he entered the government office, Xu Feng turned to Li Dingguo and asked.

"Reporting to my lord, Zheng Zhilong has already agreed, and I can make things right at any time!"

After reconfirming the answer, Xu Feng finally let go of his heart, and then looked at the generals and officials:

"How are you preparing here?"

"Reporting to the Lord, the Poyang Lake Navy is already in place..."

"Return to the Lord..."

The generals, commanders and civil officials immediately reported in an orderly manner.

Throughout the whole night, the noise in the government office did not stop at all.

As the military discussion continued, outside the government office, an orderly soldier who was on standby also rode out from the city gate and headed for places where heavy troops were hoarded throughout the night and day.

When the sun rose and the curfew was lifted, the city of Nanjing was still prosperous.

Although many people know that the war is about to break out, but few people know that the outbreak of this war is already close at hand!

Under the day and night of fast horses, a letter of military orders also appeared in the hands of the generals.

Daheng's military machine in the south of the Yangtze River is also quietly turning.

Since ancient times, the strong army in the north has pacified the regime in the south. The difficulty lies in the natural dangers of the rivers and the weakness of the navy!

But now, Nanzhili, the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, is like a sharp sword, deeply embedded in the hinterland of Jiangnan. The so-called natural danger has long been smooth.

As for the Navy, the rivers and rivers are under the control of the Daheng Navy, and the Haijiang Navy has the upper hand, and also has the internal support of Zheng Zhilong.

As for the Pseudo-Ming Dynasty, there were endless infighting in the court, and there were also many factions in the army.

The most important thing is that the biggest contributor to the establishment of Nanming was the Fujian navy, that is, the Fujian navy under the jurisdiction of the governor of Fujian and the huge forces formed by gathering giants like Zheng Zhilong, stirring up wind and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, almost Where is the banner of righteousness that everyone expected back then!

Back then, the Dahengjiang South Navy was only a mere part of the Denglai Navy, and it was difficult to protect itself in the face of such momentum.

Coupled with Daheng's overwhelming situation back then, all these circumstances directly led to Fujian's first "recovery" and stability.

Moreover, when Shou Wang fled south, he was escorted back by the Fujian navy. All these led to the fact that after the establishment of Nanming, the capital was directly set in Quanzhou.

If the Nanming navy has always been strong, and Daheng has been plagued by internal and external troubles, the establishment of the capital of Quanzhou by the Pseudo-Ming Dynasty will naturally have great benefits. The two places are quite close, and they can advance, attack and retreat.

But now, Daheng's national fortune is stable, and the Jiangnan navy is no weaker than the pseudo Ming navy. On land, in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Jiujiang, Wuchang, Nanchang and other important towns are all under the control of Daheng. The whole of Fujian is almost in the hands of Daheng. Constantly surrounded!

Under such circumstances, the already inclined strategic situation is completely out of control.

It also made Daheng's war plan to pacify Jiangnan this time, with an incomparable appetite!

The army was divided into three groups, one from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to go straight to Fujian, the other by the navy united with Zheng Zhilong, directly wiped out the pseudo-Ming navy, blocked the sea area, and all the way from Wuchang, captured Jiangxi, and threatened Guangdong and Guangxi.
