Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

And this saber should represent all the glory of Li Dingguo.

The emperor wears a sword, and he once conquered the world with the emperor, and forged this Daheng country. In the end, the emperor bestowed upon him Li Dingguo.

What kind of honor is this, there are millions of soldiers in Daheng, and hundreds of brave generals, apart from Li Ding, who else has such honor?

Following the battle of the Son of Heaven, it went to Denglai, the northern border, and then to the sea border, and now to the central center, where the navy was restructured, and there was almost a nameless naval commander.

In this Daheng world, even a few princes may not be as smooth as him.

With such treatment, who would not be envious, and who would not be jealous?

Virtue does not match?Does the work not match?

The words behind it... Countless!

For him, no matter how calm he is, it is like a thorn in his back.

After all, even if he doesn't want to admit it, the fact is the same.

He seems to have made great military achievements, but many military achievements were sent to him by the emperor, and it is not necessarily worse than him if it is replaced by others.

It's not that he belittled himself, but that under the current Daheng's military strength, he was step-by-step and steady, and the possibility of making mistakes was really too small.

Soldiers have no normal state, but as a crushing trend, no matter how you change it, you can't change it.

The only record that can be achieved is the achievement of leading the Jiangnan Navy to destroy the Nanming Navy.

But it is precisely this successful achievement that is the root cause of his walking on thin ice.

He was originally the general of the land battle, but he commanded the navy, and he was in charge of the reorganization of the navy, and he repeatedly led the land army to go out.

How can it not be enviable to be so showy and grab credit?

But right now, the Northern Expedition is about to start, the battle of the power of the whole country, Fenglangjuxu is right in front of him, how can he miss it.

But... Li Dingguo, as the commander of the navy and then leading the army of land warfare, I am afraid that he will completely become an alternative among the martial arts, and be rejected by all the martial arts!

Although people ask themselves, he prefers to gallop on the battlefield rather than lead a warship to gallop the ocean, but the emperor's expectation of the ocean, as the unnamed sailor at the helm of the Daheng Navy today, how can he not be clear.

Besides, how could he disobey the will of the Son of Heaven.

"My lord, my lord, the general staff is here, let me, my lord, come to the general council to discuss matters!"

While thinking heavily, there was a sudden shout.

Listening to it, Li Dingguo's expression also changed, and after a while, he slowly returned to normal.

Being in harmony should be a disaster...Maverick and being rejected may be the best...

When Li Dingguo arrived at the General Staff, as he expected, all the martial arts generals in the palace looked at him, and there was obviously something wrong.

Lord Jingguo sat in the main seat, and the scene in the palace was clearly in his eyes, but his expression was as calm as ever, but when he looked at Li Dingguo, a complex meaning flashed in his eyes involuntarily.

How loving the Son of Heaven is.

A general of the navy, he has led the division of land battles many times.

This time the whole country marched to the north, and the ordinary martial arts were all fighting for the position of the leader of the army. He, Li Dingguo, a general of the navy who had almost nothing to do with this battle, actually became the commander of the army!

Brother Xiu, once again unabashedly expressed his preference for Li Dingguo!

Thinking of this, Duke Yasukuni shook his head secretly.

No one dares to say too much about the preference of the emperor, but this Li Dingguo may have a hard time in the future...

Cutting off one's wealth is like killing one's parents, let alone blocking one's official career!

He used to be the general of the Denglai Navy, but he led the army into Sichuan. A few years ago, he went straight to Hetao and picked the peaches that the generals in northern Xinjiang worked hard for many years. Now, it seems that he is going to go straight to Liao Province and lead the army of Liao Province grassland.

Again and again and again...

The Wu Xun generals dare not criticize the emperor, but they have nothing to dare to Li Dingguo.

After all, Li Dingguo is nothing more than a rising star compared to most martial arts generals.

"The power of the sky is unpredictable..."

Lord Yasukuni took a deep breath, and the complicated meaning in his eyes seemed to be a little more intense.

This is not what the emperor deliberately did. The old and new martial arts, the navy and land divisions, are in perfect balance between them.

Lord Jingguo was full of thoughts, but at this moment, Li Dingguo was also indifferent to the strange expressions of the military generals. He, of course, knew long ago that he, Li Dingguo, was definitely not the same as these military generals.

This is true whether it is public or private.

Yu Gong, he is the general of the navy, he can be called the leader of the general of the navy, every move, every word and deed, all represent the navy, and also shoulder the interests of the navy.

In private, although he is the brave guard of Wu Xun, in a sense, he can also be said to be the existence of the connection between the brave guard Wu Xun and the Daheng Wu Xun.

Every step he took in the army was incompatible with Yongwei Wuxun's experience of being promoted several ranks at every turn. On the contrary, it was very consistent with the promotion system in the Daheng Army after the order was stabilized, and even now.

It's not like brave guards and martial arts, but one step at a time, soldiers, martial arts academy, commanding the army, conquest, training in the martial arts academy, and then commanding the army...

Although he thinks that virtue is not worthy, no one can deny that among the brave guards and martial arts, the virtue is not worthy... more.

With the rise of the emperor back then, those who ascended to the sky in one step, how can it be a minority, and the vast majority of those who ascended to the sky in one step are the former brave guards and the main body of the current Daheng martial arts...

……

Chapter 753 Sad, Nothing Than This

"Martial luck is here, how prosperous it is..."

In Wenyuan Pavilion, which is only a few tens of steps away, you can clearly hear the hustle and bustle in Wuyuan Pavilion. Standing in front of the window for a long time, Liu Qiyuan, the chief assistant of the cabinet, couldn't help but sigh.

With such a scene, he...doesn't know whether to be happy or sad.

In the past and next year, the scene of foreign war powerlessness seemed to be still clearly visible, but now, in these years, how has the outside line ever been defeated?

In the pre-Ming period, a war where only a few hundred enemies were raped could be exaggerated into a great victory that shocked the whole country. After these years, not to mention hundreds of enemies, even thousands or tens of thousands of enemies, It's nothing.

The northern border has been strategically defended for many years, but almost the entire northern border towns have been defended into the hinterland. Among them, the military achievements are so great, but in the Daheng court, it has not caused the slightest fluctuation.

Even Li Dingguo, whom the emperor attaches the most importance to training, has not even appeared, and his military exploits are so outstanding, but so far, he is only a mere earl, and he has never even had hereditary power.

More than ten years of conquests have created a large number of military generals with great military exploits. The current Daheng is not a bright star!

Martial arts, it can be said that they are not prosperous.

Back then, when the Son of Heaven established the country and established the Daheng, the foundation of the country established by the sun and the moon, and the prosperity of Wu Xun, has become a reality now.

However, Wu Xun is prosperous, Wen Yun...

Thinking of this, Liu Qiyuan couldn't hide his secret.

Wenyun should not be regarded as declining, but... it is becoming more and more incompatible with Daheng.

The harshness of Daheng, the benevolence of Ming Dynasty.

Liu Qiyuan naturally knew that what they missed was not Daming, but the corrupt environment of Daming that allowed them to act recklessly.

Since Yongle, hundreds of years of tolerance, hundreds of years of wantonness, without giving anyone any time to react, the sudden change is the most important reason for the current estrangement between Wen and Daheng.

In the past dynasties, dynasties changed, the world was in chaos, the gentry and landlords attached themselves to the real dragon, and then ruled the world, obeying the dragon's ministers, and following the dragon's merits, naturally enjoyed hundreds of years of wantonness.

But in Daheng, when the dynasty changed, although there was great chaos in the world, the emperor did not rely on literature, but the emperor relied on martial arts to suppress the world.

Wen has nothing to do with the merits of the dragon, and he is suspected of harming the country, and he is naturally opposed to Wu Xun, and then he goes against the will of the emperor.

The Son of Heaven wants to change, so he wants to change, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also want to change, and the gentry of the world also want to change.

But... people have their own ambitions, and this change... is also different.

Everything is already doomed.

And at the moment... the chaos in the Southwest has not yet ended, and the chaos in Bailian has stirred up the hearts of the people in the world. Such internal troubles have not yet been resolved, and such a nationwide war has started so hastily...

Thinking of this, Liu Qiyuan's eyes flickered suddenly. How could he not understand that he was the former minister of the Ming Dynasty and the chief assistant of the Daheng cabinet.

However, in many things, he is also powerless,

Can he point the butcher knife at his former disciples, relatives and friends?

Can all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty raise the butcher knife to their disciples, old officials, relatives and friends?

In the previous Ming Dynasty, Daheng, spanning two dynasties in just over ten years, the endless bloody massacre brought about not only his extreme powerlessness, but also many princes of the Manchu Dynasty.

After a long time, Liu Qiyuan slowly turned his eyes and fixed on the Wuyuan Pavilion in front of him. In such a battle with the power of the whole country, Duke Yasukuni, the leader of Daheng's martial arts, was excluded. At that time, the twelfth regiment battalion of the Beijing army only dispatched the eighth regiment battalion, and half of the guards of the imperial army stayed in the capital.

You know, this does not mean that Daheng has ample troops. Although Daheng has a million troops, there are tens of thousands of sailors among them. Tens of thousands of troops and chieftains conquered.

At least half of the millions of troops are involved in Jiangnan. In addition, Daheng's center of gravity has changed over the years. In order to cope with Daheng's development, some guards have been restructured or even dismantled. More than ten percent.

This time, the expedition was a northern expedition with the power of the whole country. The emperor would rather transfer troops from the south of the Yangtze River than let the army in the capital be lacking. Although he had the idea of ​​​​reserving the way forward, he was not taking precautions.

It would be a big joke if the Son of Heaven didn't know about Daheng's internal worries.

Lord Yasukuni sits at the center of the capital, and has hundreds of thousands of elite battalions hoarding. With such preparations, it is more than enough to fight a war of annihilation...

At a time when troops are scarce, the Duke of Yasukuni, the number one martial artist of Daheng, is in charge of the capital.

Thinking of this, Liu Qiyuan also sighed suddenly.

In this way, if it does not change, it is enough. If it changes, it will inevitably be earth-shattering, and there will be countless bloody storms.

Looking around Wenyuan Pavilion, all the cabinet ministers are sitting upright in their offices. The cabinet ministers are still those cabinet ministers, but there are many new faces in the cabinet. , At present, he is seconded to work in the cabinet.

Du Yinxi, an emigration official who has been in charge of emigration in Shaanxi for many years, has also joined the cabinet in the name of secondment to assist cabinet ministers in handling political affairs.

Yan Yingyuan, who participated in Beizhili and was one of the top three imperial examinations in the first imperial examination for many years, also used the same excuse to join the cabinet to assist cabinet ministers in handling political affairs.

Liu Lishun, who was in charge of engineering in the northern provinces for many years, also appeared in this cabinet.

There is no doubt that these people were all transferred to the cabinet by the order of the emperor, and these people, without exception, were all officials of the Great Heng Dynasty.

In this cabinet, although they are in the name of Assistant Zuo cabinet ministers, everyone holds real power and supervises one party's government affairs.

For example, Du Yinxi and Yan Yingyuan supervised the supervision and education system, such as the matter of the Academy of Engineering that Liu Lishun came into contact with, and the matter of finance and taxation that Zhang Huangyan touched...

Everything seems to be traceable.

In sharp contrast to these energetic faces, it is obvious that these old faces in the cabinet.

All the ministers in the cabinet, even Hong Chengchou, who has always been the confidant of the emperor, can be regarded as former ministers of the Ming Dynasty in a sense.

The other cabinet ministers were all important court ministers in the pre-Ming Dynasty.

But these so-called important ministers, including him, have always been the object of the emperor's defense and suppression.

The current Daheng Wuxun is at the peak of his invincibility, and the alternation of new and old has already begun to take shape under the arrangement of the emperor.

On the side of civil servants and gentry, the emperor has been planning for a long time.

It has also been planned for a long time.

This time, if there is a bloodbath, this alternation may completely kick off the curtain.

This old bone of his probably won't last long...

"Hey……"

Liu Qiyuan sighed again, even more secretly.

Knowing the ending, but helpless, also powerless.

Sad... nothing more than that.

Chapter 754 Situation

The night is deep.

Located at the foot of the imperial city, the Yasukuni Mansion next to the former Duke Qin's Mansion is still brightly lit.

The emperor has been away from Beijing for a long time, and although all major military and state affairs are carried out with his driver, the Duke of Yasukuni, who is the leader of the Daheng martial arts and is ordered by the emperor to sit in the capital, seems to have some sense of supervising the country and assisting the government.

Especially with the recent great changes in the grasslands, after the emperor decided to send troops, the burden on the shoulders of Duke Yasukuni, the leader of the military, was obviously much heavier.

In the brightly lit room, apart from the guarding soldiers in the mansion, there are military generals and messengers from all over the place.

Even in the middle of the night, urgent couriers from all over the eight hundred miles traveled endlessly on the streets of the capital, and finally arrived at the Yasukuni Mansion.

It is noisy and busy, as if it is not inferior to the Duke Qin's mansion back then.

It seems to be influenced by the emperor Ruo, in the mansion of the Duke of Yasukuni, the center is also in the study in the backyard of the mansion.

Even the layout of the study room is not much different from the study room in Duke Qin's mansion that the emperor used to have.

It is also the most conspicuous place where a map hangs high, and a desk is also placed against the wall. On the desk, files and reports are also piled up like a mountain.
