When the Ming Dynasty was struggling with how to reward the meritorious and a new turmoil would be set off in the country, the Jin State also noticed that the Ming Dynasty would usher in a violent turmoil in the hearts of the people.

After the defeat of the Central Plains War, the Jin State was prepared for the demise of the Manchu Dynasty, but when the news came that the Ming army really took Beijing easily, the Jin State still felt great pressure.

In their opinion, if the Manchu Qing retreated to Guanwai, they would be able to contain the Ming Dynasty for at least a few years, but they never thought that Fulin would be so stupid, and the Qing State would be finished less than three months after the Central Plains War.

This made Haoge quite disappointed in his younger brother, such a waste, actually became the emperor of the Qing Kingdom, it was really the sorrow of the ancestors.

Although the destruction of the Qing Dynasty, the whole Jin Kingdom probably knew that it would be sooner or later, but it came so quickly, the Jin Kingdom was still nervous.

In terms of national strength, the Jin State has now been pulled apart by the Ming Dynasty, and they must face the rising Ming Dynasty alone, and the huge pressure faced by the Jin State can be imagined.

At this time, the territory of the Jin Kingdom is actually not small, to the west through Hami, to the Turpan Basin, to the south to Hanzhong, the Qinling Mountains, to the north across the Hetao, to the southern foot of Yinshan, to the east to Tongguan, Wuguan, Hanguguan area.

Counted, this is more than when the Western Xia Kingdom was at its strongest, and there are more Guanzhong, Hanzhong, Hetao, Hamiwei, and the northern part of Qinghai, that is, the vast area controlled by the Longyou Protectorate that the Northern Song Dynasty had recovered.

Although the territory of the Jin Kingdom is not small, the population is less than 10 million, and the number of troops is barely 30% of the Ming Dynasty, and most of them are not elite, and the annual income is only about 20% of the Ming Dynasty, and the difference in strength is too great.

This made Jin Guo inevitably afraid when facing the Ming Dynasty alone, if it weren't for the solidity of Tongguan and Hangu, Jin Guo was in danger of China, and took advantage of the geographical advantage, I am afraid that he would have already trembled.

In the more than three months since the end of the Central Plains War, the Jin State has made many responses, especially in the expansion of the army, and has made great efforts to open up the wasteland and carry out military cantonment at the same time.

Although this kind of army, just like the Ming Dynasty's guards, is not worth mentioning, the rapidly expanding number of people still makes the Jin country find a sense of security.

In the current situation, for the Jin State, the most lacking thing is time, they need time to cultivate more fertile land, smelt more refined iron, and train enough troops, but the rapid defeat of the Qing makes them feel that time is pressing.

In Chang'an City, Meng Qiaofang, Han Chaoxuan, Kong Wenfu and other ministers, as well as Wu Sangui and Sun Kewang, who urgently recalled Chang'an, all came to the cabinet to discuss and determine the national policy and direction of the Jin State in the future.

After the First World War of Sichuan and Shu, the power of the Jin State was tilted towards the cabinet, except for the two great dynasties held in the palace twice a month, and the peacetime deliberations were in the Pingzhi Pavilion where the cabinet was located.

At this time, in the meeting hall on the first floor of the Pingzhi Pavilion, several Xiangguo were talking with Wu Sangui and Sun Kewang.

Among these two people, although Wu Sangui is the king of one word and has a large number of troops, he has only done one thing in the past few years, that is, to train the army in Tuntian, Hanzhong, so there is nothing to say.

Sun Kewang became the focus of everyone because he was running Hexi, especially because the Jin State was preparing to destroy Yarkand, and several ministers were asking him.

At this time, several people were talking, and there were footsteps outside, and a guard said loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived." ”

Everyone was shocked, and when they turned around, they saw Hauge walking in quickly, and they hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Weichen see Your Majesty!" ”

Haoge walked to the main hall and sat down, then waved his hand and said, "Zhuqing, please take a seat!" ”

Several people thanked them, and then sat down in turn according to their official positions.

After Haoge waited for them to sit down, he immediately spoke: "The Ming army captured Beijing, and it is said that Shenyang was also taken by the Ming army. At present, I and Daikin will face the Ming Kingdom alone, and there is indeed a huge disparity between the two countries, I wonder what you think about the future situation, but what good strategies do you have to teach me? ”

A few people sitting on both sides, after whispering a few words, Meng Qiaofang stood up and saluted: "Back to Your Majesty, although the Qing Kingdom is dead now, I have done a lot of responses, and the new number of people and horses is nearly 50,000, as long as there is enough time to train, create a new equipment army, relying on Tongguan Hangu Pass, the Ming army in the Guandong, there is no problem." ”

"Time, the key is time, and I know that! But I'm afraid that the Ming army won't give us time! Haoge frowned, as soon as the Qing State was destroyed, the Ming army would rest for a year at most, and then it would make a move on the Jin State, he was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "How is Tongguan reinforced?" ”

Jin Guo's detailed work on the Ming army's intelligence, a lot of collection, learned that when the Ming army attacked Xuzhou, used a kind of giant cannon, a few cannons down, the city wall will collapse, so Haoge deliberately let people widen the Tongguan city wall to prevent artillery bombardment.

"Your Majesty, the reinforcement project of Tongguan and Hangu Pass has just begun to be prepared, and it is expected to be preliminarily completed by the end of next year!" Han Chaoxuan was in charge of the matter, so he stood up and answered.

Jin Guo's biggest reliance now, in addition to the army is such Xiongguan as Tongguan and Hangu Pass, I heard that it will be completed by the end of next year, Haoge's face suddenly sank, "So slow? ”

If nothing else, the Ming Dynasty will definitely make a move on the Jin State next year, so the construction period will be too slow.

A few people in the hall also frowned.

Han Chaoxuan saluted at this time: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is still time to come." ”

When he said this, several people couldn't help but look at him, and he continued, "Your Majesty, my lords, I wonder if you have heard about the recent changes in the Ming Kingdom? ”

Haoge frowned, "Is the Qing family saying that it is possible for Wang Yan to abolish the little emperor and usurp the throne?" ”

In this matter, the people of Jin Guo also heard some rumors, and when they saw Han Chaoxuan nodding, they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts.

Kong Wenfu asked puzzledly: "Han Gebu, if Wang Yan ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, he will be arbitrary in the Ming Dynasty, and it only takes one sentence to attack my Dajin, I'm afraid our situation will be even more dangerous." What does the words of the Han Pavilion Department mean? ”

Haoge was also puzzled: "Han Qing, tell me quickly!" ”

Han Chaoxuan laughed, and then said: "Although Wang Yan has made great contributions to the Ming Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty has lasted for more than 280 years, and the little emperor is not at fault. Wang Yan has only been in power for five years, and there are still many loyal and righteous people, and they are not against Wang Yan, just because Wang Yan regards himself as a Han minister, but if he plots rebellion and bullies the orphans and widows in Nanjing, there will inevitably be many opponents. ”

An old empire, dead but not stiff, just say what it became at the end of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty can still do so many things, and the current situation in the Ming Dynasty is still stronger than that at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Han Chaoxuan saw Haoge nodded, so he continued: "I think that the Cao family usurped the Han, after two generations, twenty-five years, and the Sima family usurped Wei, after three generations. If Wang Yan runs for another ten years and replaces him, it can be regarded as a matter of course, but now that Wang Yan has been in power for five years and usurped the Ming Dynasty, the country will inevitably be unstable, and it is too late for him to eradicate dissidents, how can he have the heart to attack my big gold? ”

Everyone listened to his words, and without contemplation, Meng Qiaofang and Kong Wenpiao couldn't help but nodded, but Sun Kewang and Wu Sangui were a little unimpressed.

Wu Sangui was silent for a while, and then spoke: "The Han Pavilion Department is not too optimistic, Wang Yanxiong has soldiers in hand, and the political enemies who have opposed him over the years have basically been eliminated by him, even if the official gentry are dissatisfied? The army is in the hands of Wang Yan, and his prestige is in full swing, as long as he is ruthless enough to purge the disobedient with the power of thunder, I think it is not difficult for him to sit on the throne of the Ming Kingdom! ”

With Wang Yan's merits and strength, he did not usurp the throne, Wu Sangui, an outsider, was anxious for him, if it was him, he would have rebelled a long time ago.

Sun Kewang obviously had the same smell as Wu Sangui, and he also spoke: "Han Gebu, I also don't think we can be too optimistic, but we must step up our preparations for defense. In my opinion, after Wang Yan ascends the throne, if the country is unstable, he is very likely to attack us immediately and divert internal contradictions through war, and once he wins, it will be a great achievement. In this way, he used his merit to destroy the Qing Dynasty, coupled with the merit of defeating us, the prosperity of martial arts, which is rare in history, who feels against him? ”

I have to say that what Wu Sangui and Sun Kewang said makes sense, but Han Chaoxuan obviously disagrees with what they said.

From their words, it can be seen that these two people are too selfish and believe in violence, Han Chaoxuan feels that Wang Yan is not the same kind of person as them, and this is not Wang Yan's style of acting.

"I don't dare to agree with what the two princes said!" Han Chaoxuan sorted out his thoughts and said: "Wang Yan has always sought stability, as far as I know, he has a good hand, and it is impossible to play cards indiscriminately." If it weren't for the yellow robe, I guess Wang Yan would definitely destroy us first, and then he would want to take the throne. But now there are people in the Ming army who can't wait and want to force him to ascend the throne, which has already disrupted his cards. ”

He paused and continued, "With Wang Yan's temperament, if he wears a yellow robe this time, it is estimated that he will not be heavy-handed against those who oppose it, at least he will not use killing to deter, and with his character of seeking stability, knowing that the country is unstable, it is impossible to send troops to attack my Dajin." Although he won and was able to resolve the contradictions, but if he lost, his prestige for so many years immediately plummeted, and he might even be like the former Qin Fujian, so he didn't need to take a risk. ”

Saying that, he hugged Haoge's fist, "The minister thinks that once Wang Yan usurps the throne, he will inevitably fall into domestic strife, and he will not attack Dajin for the time being." Besides, he was helped to a big position by a military general, and the minister didn't believe that he was not afraid in his heart, and he didn't worry about his subordinates peeping into his big position! ”

After listening to this, Hao Ge glanced at Wu Sangui and Sun Kewang on the seat, and he believed that Wang Yan, like him, would be terrified once he sat on the throne of the emperor.

Haug calmed down and said, "I understand. If Wang Yan does not usurp, the Ming army will rest for a year, and it will inevitably attack in the coming year, and if Wang Yan usurps the throne, then it is possible that he will be busy with internal affairs and have no time to attack us! ”

"In that case, let Wang Yan usurp, and I will support him as well. The cabinet could send someone to Wang Yan and say that Dajin was willing to pay tribute to him, so that he could concentrate on solving internal problems. Hauge said, his tone changed, "However, we can't take it lightly, the construction period of Tongguan and Hangu Pass must be shortened by half. ”

Han Chaoxuan had no opinion when he heard this, and hurriedly saluted, and several other people did not express other opinions.

Seeing this, Haoge nodded, so he asked another question, "Sun Qing, how about contacting Yuzi?" ”

Sun Kewang stood up, clasped his fists and said: "Something went wrong, the Rakshasa Kingdom in the west started a war with another big country called Poland in order to fight for a piece of land. The Rakshasa wanted to recruit the Mongol tribes to participate in the war, but these Mongol tribes were unwilling to obey the order after joining forces with the remnants of the Jungar army, and wanted to rebuild the Golden Horde and fought with the Rakshasa State. The Mongol tribes over there contacted Little Yuzi and Big Yuzi, and they all went to the west to fight the Rakshasas, and only Zhong Yuzi was willing to join us! ”
