Chapter 970: Deadend
The domestic situation has been completely stabilized because of the presence of the Queen Mother, and the huge machine of the state, after being paralyzed for a long time, is rumbling again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 As the second largest country in the world, the underwater strength of the Chu State began to surface one by one, and the entire country was mobilized again after a lapse of several decades.
The text has a head, and the martial arts are orderly.
The grain depots were opened one by one, and the additional war taxes flowed to the treasury in an endless stream, and the young and strong were recruited into an army, and one by one they drove to the war zone, and the first batch of reinforcements was about to arrive in Jinghu. And the Western Army, which was transferred back from the west, has also been off for more than half a month, and it seems that the State of Chu has made all the preparations, and Min Ruoxi doesn't need to worry about anything anymore.
But this is not what Min Ruoying wants.
National mobilization, the wartime system, there will only be one result, that is, all power is concentrated on the side of the army, as the first assistant Ma Xiangdong, in this system, is only the auxiliary staff of the head of the army, the chief steward of logistics. According to the decree issued by the imperial court, who is this military leader? It's a notebook.
It's the person Min Ruoying is thinking about and wants to cut off now.
And this person's strength is increasing every day.
Do you want to immediately issue an order to end the wartime system? This is impossible, first, now the two countries of Qi and Chu are still in a state of war, even if the Qi people are facing internal problems, but Min Ruoying knows very well that extinguishing the internal rebellion is not a problem for the Qi people at all, and the blade of the Qi people has not been withdrawn, and it is necessary to carry out a general mobilization of the whole country. Second, as a huge country, once you go all out to do something, it is with great inertia, and you can't turn back if you want to. Third, this decree was promulgated by the Queen Mother, as a son, Min Ruoying could not have completely denied all this as soon as she returned to China, this is a naked slap in the face of the Queen Mother, saying that you have a family and made a mistake. But is it really wrong? Under the circumstances, it was good. If it's good, why abolish it? What was the Emperor thinking?
These questions, as long as someone thinks about it deeply, will immediately be linked to the program itself, and they will think that the emperor is going to clean up the program book.
Once this problem is revealed to the world, then the Chu State is afraid that civil strife will break out immediately. Let's not talk about Cheng Wuben's reaction, just the hearts of the people in the country, there will be big problems. Now, a wartime system has finally brought the hearts of the people of Chu together, and once this breath is dispersed, it is not easy to get back together.
"Cheng Wuben, I couldn't move for a while." After thinking about it, Luo Liang still came to such a conclusion. Originally, according to their original thoughts, as soon as they returned to China, they would have to pack up their Cheng Wuben, and the 40,000 Fire Phoenix Army was their support, but when they returned to China, they found that everything had changed greatly. "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's decree is issued to the world, and she can only come to Japan to have a chance. As long as this period of time is survived and the crisis between Qi and Chu is resolved, then it is natural that the state of wartime control can be concluded quickly, and the country will return to the normal system, and at that time, the opportunity will naturally come. Moreover, not so noticeable. ”
Min Ruoying gritted her teeth, but she had to admit that everything Luo Liang said was the truth, and now that she has moved the Cheng Wuben, she is afraid that it will really lead to unforeseen disasters, and a complete collapse is also possible.
For this day, he had been carefully watching the palace report sent by the imperial court to Yuquan, and finally came to the conclusion that everything was reversed from his sister's return to Shangjing.
From the time she arrived in Shangjing, everything she did was to strengthen Cheng Wuben's power and strength, on the surface, all of this was for the sake of the Chu State, but in fact, she put herself in an extremely embarrassing situation.
"I really have a good sister!" He clenched his fists tightly and was furious.
Luo Liang was also silent, until now, why don't they understand that the battle of Qi and Chu is purely a big pit, and the people of Qi and Ming joined forces to make a big show, luring Da Chu into it, and then losing his troops and losing his generals, almost nothing. The final result of this great drama was that the Chu State lost almost all of the eastern border army, lost Kunling Pass and the six eastern counties, while the Ming State recaptured the three counties of Wuling, Taoyuan, and Yiyang that they had lost a few years ago from the Qi people, and pushed the border with the Qi State back to the side of Zhaoguan. More importantly, in order to deal with the Chu State, the Qi State transferred almost all of their troops to the east, and the Ming State was almost defenseless.
Ming Qi has its own gains, but it is the pit of Da Chu.
At the last moment of the war, the Ming State jumped out to be a good person again, first sent troops in Zhaoguan to harass the Qi realm, and then helped Wu Teng take Lingchuan in the northwest, so that Wu Teng could go deep into the northwest of the Qi State and share the pressure on the main battlefield.
But this friend is indeed a bastard who calls his brother to his face and touches the guy behind his back.
But can you explain all this to the people? No, to make it clear, isn't it just a slap in the face, saying that you are a big fool and fall for other people's evil? What prestige does the emperor have to speak of, and what face does he have?
Someone dug a hole, and you jumped stupidly?
"Your Majesty, Princess Zhaohua is the queen of the Ming Kingdom after all, and there are some things that are not necessarily willing." Luo Liang can only persuade, he can't say that Princess Zhaohua is a big villain, these words, Min Ruoying can say, but he can't say it.
"What is not willing? Hehe, you can guess what he's going to do just by looking at her actions in the capital! Min Ruoying said viciously: "Hasn't Yang Qing come back yet?" ”
Yang Qing secretly returned to China in advance, and was originally prepared to deal with Cheng Wuben's incident, but now, this matter can only be postponed.
"There's no news yet, but it's already like this, and he's probably going to be back soon." Luo Liang said: "Your Majesty, Pang Jun, those people, I'm afraid they can only be released first." ”
"What Pang Jun?" Min Ruoying asked.
"It's those officers who came from the eastern border army to help Chen Du defend the city." Luo Liang explained: "After Luo Hu entered the city, he took them into custody, and when Chen Du came to Jin to see His Majesty earlier, he also pleaded with His Majesty. Since I can't do anything to Cheng Wuben now, these are better placed. It can also be regarded as selling Chen Du's favor. ”
"A few small shrimps, just put them away. But do you think this Chen Du can be trusted? Could he have defected to Cheng Wuben? Min Ruoying said.
"Probably not." Luo Liang said, "This person is an orthodox official, decent, and there should be no problem with his loyalty to His Majesty." What's more, he now has nearly 20,000 soldiers in his hands, and His Majesty should also seize it. ”
"I'm right. According to Luo Hu, in addition to the thousands of county soldiers, the rest of the soldiers were recruited from the refugees in the six eastern counties, these people are now ruined, quite hateful of the Qi people, and have been trained to have some foundation, it will not be long before they can become a good army, and they should indeed be grasped in their hands. Min Ruoying said: "Since Chen Du has opened his mouth, let those people go, let him go back to Cheng Wuben, don't be an eyesore in front of me." ”
Min Ruoying was quite depressed.
The current situation is beyond his control. If you want to clean up Cheng Wuben, you must wait for him to return to the capital, and then end the wartime control state first, take the power back from Cheng Wuben step by step, and then think about reducing the strength in Cheng Wuben's hands, and wait until the time is ripe, I am afraid that it will take several years of effort. And Cheng Wu would have been tied?
Of course not. Min Ruoying didn't think that Cheng Wuben would be like a few years ago, he could recall him with an edict, at that time, the first emperor Yu Wei was still there, and now he has lost a big battle in this battle, Cheng Wuben, who vigorously opposed the alignment war in advance, is obviously reasonable, and he does not take the Jinghu line, he has clearly sent a signal to him that Cheng Wuben is not a fool, and it is impossible to come back obediently to die.
"Your Majesty, if you want to test Cheng Wuben, Your Majesty can send him a decree, asking him to come to Yuquan from Jinghu Lake immediately to discuss military affairs with Your Majesty, if he comes......"
"He's coming, and there's no way he's going to kill him like this!" Min Ruoying said coldly: "The current situation, if you kill him, Jinghu will be in chaos immediately, and on the other side of Jinghu, the Qi army has gathered tens of thousands of troops. ”
"Of course it's not to kill him, if he comes, Your Majesty can comfort him with gentle words to calm his heart." Luo Liang said: "In order to reduce his suspicion of His Majesty, so as to prepare for the future cutting off of this person." ”
"What if he doesn't come?" Min Ruoying asked.
"If he doesn't come, it means that he has no loyalty to His Majesty." Luo Liang snorted coldly: "Then Your Majesty will even more prepare to cut off this person." And it has to be put at the top of the agenda, because every day passes, this person's strength will increase a little, and in the end, the tail will not be lost. ”
Min Ruoying's eyes lit up, "Yes, this is a way, if he doesn't obey the edict, then I will cut him off in the future, and it will be even more justifiable." You immediately go down and let people draw up a decree, and summon Cheng Wuben to Yuquan to see him. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Luo Liang replied with a smile, but he was extremely proud in his heart, this is a dead end, Cheng Wu originally or not, it is a dead end, it is just the length of time. As soon as Cheng Wuben dies, who else is qualified to preside over the second line of defense centered on Jinghu Lake?
Luo Liang never thought that he was worse than Cheng Wuben, this time the defeat was just that the enemy was too cunning, who would have thought that Qi Ming, two countries that were fighting hard, would actually join forces to pit Chu Kingdom in secret? I'm just unlucky.
The current state of Chu, if Cheng Wuben is in charge, there will be no place for him, and only when Cheng Wuben dies will he completely walk out of the shadow of the other party.
