Chapter 138: Northern Xinjiang is not defended!
Prestige is a wonderful thing, and it is often not determined by a person's ultimate achievement.
For example, Li Xin's current "deeds" have surpassed his teacher Ye Sheng in a sense, but even if Ye Sheng has passed away for seven or eight years, the Ye family's status in the eyes of many people is still incomparable.
Take He Xiang as an example, he is the general of Ye Ming, the uncle of the Ye family, but he has left Chen Guogong's mansion for more than ten years, and has even set up his own door, but in his eyes, as long as the current Chen Guogong Ye Mao says a word, he can fight with the lives of his family.
The reason for this difference is that Ye Sheng is a hero who led the Great Jin Dynasty to "defeat the strong with the weak", and he is radiant, so he naturally has countless fans.
Second, it is also because of Li Xin's lack of background, so that until now, except for the Southwest Army, few people will work hard for him Li Changan.
Seeing that He Xiang was so resolute, Zhao Yi naturally couldn't say anything, and after saluting the old man, he quietly left the He family.
At this time, it is not easy to enter and exit the capital, and it is relatively simple to enter Beijing, but it is really difficult to get out, after all, the nobles in Yongle Fang now want to leave the capital to avoid trouble, so Zhao Yi, who has already entered Beijing, has no intention of going out again, he passed He Xiang's thoughts to Li Xin through the dark department, and then quietly in the capital, waiting for Li Xin's reply.
Just when Li Xinxiang controlled the two battalions of forbidden troops, there was also a turmoil in the court of the capital.
Before the Southwest Army hit the capital, no one in the capital, including the small people, thought that the forbidden army of the imperial court would lose, after all, the Great Jin Dynasty had been invincible for nearly fifty years, and no one after Emperor Wu could argue with the Great Jin, but the self-confidence of the people in the capital was ruthlessly shattered by the Southwest Army.
First of all, Hou Jingde led the troops to attack the camp, more than 10,000 forbidden troops died, at that time the people of the capital can be said to be the forbidden army light enemy, but this time, the forbidden army of the whole four Zhichong Mansion, and more than 100,000 Jiangnan Xiang army surrounded the southwest army, but was broken by the southwest army one by one, and it only took one day to defeat the central forbidden army that the Great Jin was proud of!
The war in Xiangyang City, the imperial court can hide it by blocking the news, but it happened in the capital, and the matter at the door of the house, no matter how much the imperial court conceals it, it is impossible to hide it from the people of the city, so after the defeat of the forbidden army, the entire capital is boiling.
What's even worse is that in this case, the battle of Xiangyang concealed by the imperial court was also a little unconcealable, and many people in the capital knew that Xiangyang City, the Xiongcheng City of the Great Jin Dynasty, which had been guarded by the family army for decades, was broken by the Southwest Army in three days!
Panic!
Not only were the people a little flustered, but some people in the court also began to sit still, some wanted to ask the forbidden army for their crimes, some meant to recruit the Southwest Army, and a small number of people......
It is to negotiate peace with the Southwest Army.
The purpose of the Southwest Army is to let Ji Ying, the sixth prince, enter the throne of Beijing, and these advocates of peace talks with the Southwest Army are secretly intriguing.
In the Weiyang Palace, even a few Zaifu were a little unable to sit still, and the micro-fang of the house in charge of Shangshutai arched his hand to the Son of Heaven whose eyes were bloodshot: "Your Majesty, now the government and the opposition in the capital are ...... The people are panicking, and the court must deal with it, otherwise if it continues like this, the ministers are afraid that there will be chaos......"
The Son of Heaven hadn't closed his eyes much for several days, and he was closing his eyes at this time, and after hearing the words of the house, he opened his eyes a little tiredly, and said, "In the capital...... How much food is left? ”
Fang Xiang's voice was low.
"In the past few months, all the grain in the grain depots in Gyeonggi has been sent to the capital and handed over to the household department to manage, and the overall situation is quite full, which can support the entire capital for more than a year."
"It's good to have food."
The Son of Heaven said weakly: "I will send Qianniuwei to take care of these grains, and at the same time, the household department will also send people to watch the major grain stores in the capital, no matter who it is, they must not take the opportunity to raise the price of grain to make money, but if they find it, they will all be sent to the prison of Jingzhao Mansion and sent to the prison strictly." ”
Whether it is governing the country or the city, if you want to stabilize the people, the most important thing is to stabilize the price of grain, and if the price of grain is stable, the people's hearts will not be in turmoil.
This truth was learned from Li Xin in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion when he was the crown prince, and who would have thought that it would not take long for him to really use it.
Fang Wei and the others nodded yes, and then the Fang Xiang hesitated for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, in addition, the imperial court should adjust the forbidden army, otherwise there will still be people who take advantage of this to make trouble......"
"Adjust the forbidden army?"
The Son of Heaven opened his eyes and asked lightly, "How to adjust?" ”
The house took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, although the old general is the pillar of the imperial court, but his old man is old after all, and his energy is not very enough...... Replace the old general for the time being......"
"Replace the Xuantong?"
The Son of Heaven looked at a few Zaifu in Shangshutai with a cold eye, and his face was expressionless: "Then what do you mean, who will be replaced as the general of the forbidden army?" ”
"No matter who you change, you can't use the old general anymore."
The house exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said with a wry smile: "Otherwise, no matter what the people say, even the imperial court will be in chaos, Your Majesty doesn't know, since the last defeat, the big and small officials in the capital have also begun to talk about it, and many people have already written to complain about their illness, hiding in their own homes and not coming out......"
"Write a letter to the sick ......"
The Son of Heaven sneered: "What is a complaint, it is nothing more than to express a statement to the anti-thieves outside the city, and when the anti-thieves enter Beijing, these sick people who are at home will kneel in front of these anti-thieves as soon as possible!" ”
"You tell them that I won't change generals, except for the old generals, there is no second person in the capital who has the ability to run the forbidden army, I don't need the old generals, can I still use him Pei Jin?"
Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven was expressionless.
"There is plenty of food in the capital, I have ordered the prison to make firearms day and night, there is thunder, these southwest thieves will never be able to attack the capital, and now it is nothing more than who can consume it."
Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven coughed twice and said: "Shangshutai is pretending, I want to transfer the Western Army in the west and enter the King of Jingqin with the Yunzhou Army." ”
The house changed slightly.
The Western Army, that is, an army of the Great Jin Dynasty in the western border, is not much, only about 70,000 people, this army is used to guard against the Tibetan people in the west, from the period of Emperor Wu to the current Yuan Zhao Dynasty, this army has not moved.
As for the Yunzhou Army, not to mention it......
In order to prevent the Xianbei people in the north, the imperial court sent two armies in the north, a Zhenbei army and a Yunzhou army, and now the Zhenbei army almost no longer exists, and the Yunzhou army will return to Jingqin Wang, and the north of the entire Great Jin Dynasty will be completely let go, and the Xianbei people will trample on it.
Fang Xiang lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the Tubo in the west has been addicted to Buddhism, there is no big threat, and it is good friends with my Great Jin, and there is no problem with transferring back to the Western Army, but the Yunzhou Army is ......"
He let out a long sigh.
"Transfer back to the Yunzhou Army, the north of my Great Jin, just ...... It's not defended. ”
There was still no expression on the face of the Son of Heaven.
"It's better to lose the north than to lose the entire Great Jin."
