"Your Majesty, something is wrong!"

At the court meeting of Weiyang Palace in the capital, a Lang Zhong of the military department knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "Your Majesty, the thieves in the southwest have hit Luzhou, and the firearms of the rebels are powerful, and Luzhou is difficult to resist, and it has been the third time to complain to the imperial court!" ”

"If it goes on like this, in ten days at most, the Luzhou Mansion will be broken......"

Luzhou, is the last big city in the west of the capital, Luzhou city is broken, the capital will be fully exposed to the enemy, before that, in order to prevent the loss of Luzhou, Yuan Zhao Tianzi from the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army transferred two Zhichong Prefecture to support Luzhou, a total of more than 30,000 people, I didn't expect to be able to stop the southwest army's soldiers, just a few days, Luzhou City has been crumbling.

Yuan Zhao Tianzi sat on the throne, and his face was already very ugly.

His current mood is very complicated, on the one hand, he is a little afraid of Li Xin, and on the other hand, he doesn't know what to deal with next, this desperate sense of powerlessness makes this young son of heaven feel extremely uncomfortable.

He's heard too much bad news these days.

Suizhou was in an emergency, Luzhou was in an emergency, and the enemy came straight to the capital......

Yuan Zhao Tianzi gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Order Pei Jin, let him lead 50,000 Ankang troops to support Luzhou, and the military department will start recruiting new soldiers to support Luzhou from now on, no matter what, we must keep the southwest rebels out of Gyeonggi!" ”

"There are not many rebels in the southwest, pass on my edict, kill a rebel in the southwest, and reward twenty times!"

Generally speaking, you can receive a certain amount of reward for killing enemies on the battlefield, and the price is generally two dollars per person, but now Yuan Zhao Tianzi has directly increased the price tenfold with a word.

However, even if it is doubled tenfold, it is still a very cost-effective deal, the total number of the southwest army is only 1560,000 people, and all of them have not yet left Shu, only about 100,000 people have left Shu, and one person has 20 yuan for money, and the southwest army has been killed, that is, 2 million yuan.

Now that the situation in the Great Jin Dynasty has not been corrupted to the point of being out of control, it is not difficult to take out two or three million yuan in cash from the treasury.

After receiving the edict from the Son of Heaven, the military department immediately bowed its head and saluted, and then quickly went down to do business.

After the people from the military department went down, there was Jingzhao Yin Zhou Cong out of the class, he lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, rumors are spreading in the capital today, and Jingzhao Mansion is not easy to make a decision for a while, please make a ...... of your majesty."

When things get to this point, they can't be covered up at all.

In fact, as early as a few days ago, the news of the defeat of the imperial army by the southwest thieves began to circulate in the capital, and the news that Xiangyang City was broken in three days was also widely spread in the capital.

What's even more fatal is that there are still many people from Li Xin's dark department in the capital, and many of the news circulating in the capital are deliberately circulated by people from the dark department, and public opinion is still further fermenting, and it has reached the point where Jingzhao Mansion is not easy to deal with.

The Son of Heaven's face was gloomy, and he said angrily: "But there are rumors in the capital, all of them will be taken into the prison of Jingzhao Mansion and interrogated strictly, I will ask Tianmu Supervisor to send someone to cooperate with Jingzhao Mansion, and we must strangle the source!" ”

Zhou Cong lowered his head and said in a respectful voice: "Minister...... Obey Your Majesty's orders. ”

Yuan Zhao Tianzi sat on the emperor's throne, closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and then spoke: "Spread my will, immediately summon troops from all over the country, enter the king of Jingqin, and encircle the southwest Li Rebellion!" ”

The forbidden army of the Great Jin Dynasty and Gyeonggi was originally about 320,000 people, but because a lot of troops have been transferred to the southwest over the years, and a lot of southwest troops have been sent to block the eastward advance, there are still 240,000 left at this time.

And there are still many local armies in various parts of the Great Jin Dynasty.

For example, the box army in various places, as well as some specially set up swinging army, anti-Japanese army, and then there are border troops.

The Xiang army of the Great Jin Dynasty transferred the elite into the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army to defend the capital and became part of the source of troops of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, so the local Xiang Army was extremely weak in combat effectiveness, in addition to the large number of people, one had no equipment, and the other did not have much training, which was very unimpressive.

The more than 100,000 people brought by Pei's attack on Hanzhou were the Xiang army in the southwest.

The border army is easy to move, so it can only summon the box army Qin Wang, in fact, even the forbidden army is difficult to block the southwest army, these local box troops are even more unlikely to do anything, the meaning of the edict of the Son of Heaven is already obvious, that is, to mobilize the local box army to the capital as "cannon fodder".

Now the imperial court has figured out what the so-called "heavenly thunder" in the southwest is all about, and it also knows that the heavenly thunder is not "heavenly power", but a consumable, and since it is a consumable, it cannot be endless.

As long as these chamber troops are used to consume the firearms of the Southwest Army, the Southwest Army will no longer be able to threaten the imperial court and the capital.

After the Son of Heaven issued a few edicts, he left a few Zaifu to speak in Weiyang Palace, and then waved his hand a little tired and dissolved this great court meeting.

At this time, Ram Shu was no longer in the center, and the prime minister of Shangshutai was a small house, and he respectfully walked into the study of the Son of Heaven.

In the study, the old general with white hair also stood respectfully with his hands down.

The Son of Heaven patted Xuantong on the shoulder, and sighed a little bitterly: "The old general returned to Beijing from Yunzhou to retire, and the old general should not be used anyway, but at this moment, there is no more general available in Beijing, so he can only ask the old general to take command of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army temporarily." ”

In fact, at present, the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army has available generals, Hou Jingde, the general of the left battalion of the forbidden army, one of the three heroes of Renchen, Taikang served in the forbidden army in the early years, and has been a general in the forbidden army for more than ten years, and his qualifications and abilities are enough to serve as this general.

Helplessly, Hou Jingde had some friendship with Li Xin, so Yuan Zhao Tianzi didn't dare to use him, so he invited Chong Xuantong, who was retired at home, to re-emerge from the mountain.

The old general coughed, bowed his head and said: "The old minister has received the grace of the country, and he should be loyal to His Majesty." ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said: "Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, there are still more than 200,000 of my Great Jin Jinggi Forbidden Army, plus the Ankang Army brought back by General Pei and the remnants of the Hanzhong Army, there are more than 300,000 people who can fight, and the southwest anti-thieves are only 100,000 at best. ”

To be honest, this method of cultivating Xuantong is very effective.

The Southwest Army has only 100,000 men, and once it is surrounded, it is easy to be difficult to take care of it, and it is not easy to use it.

But this method is not so easy.

First of all, 100,000 people will not pour out in a rush of brains, and the Southwest Army will definitely find a city as a garrison, and then launch an attack.

Moreover, Li Xin, who had already thought of this matter in advance, followed behind Mu Ying, and was frantically recruiting prisoners and recruiting new soldiers, when the Southwest Army came out of Shu, it was 100,000 people, but now it is not necessarily this number.

The Son of Heaven frowned, then shook his head and said: "This is too risky, no one knows if those thieves will come up with new things. ”

The 300,000 forbidden troops poured out, they were gambling on the fortunes of the country, and once they lost, the Great Jin Dynasty would be destroyed in an instant.

The Son of Heaven didn't dare to bet like this.

The Southwest Army is alone, and its background is far inferior to that of the Great Jin Dynasty, as long as they hold the capital, they can be slowly consumed.

Chong Xuantong looked up at the Son of Heaven, didn't say anything more, but sighed secretly in his heart.

After several generations of the Son of Heaven, the Great Jin Dynasty no longer has the spirit of Emperor Wu to fight in the south and the north, nor does it have the bloody nature of Chen Guogong's lone army......
