The army of the long jurisdiction surrounded the capital, which caused a great shock to the Song Dynasty, once the capital was lost, Yelu Yanxi was captured, the Liao State must be in chaos, and the Great Song Dynasty had to send troops to Yanyun;

The atmosphere in the government hall suddenly became tense, and in addition to intensifying efforts to hoard war materials in Hebei and Hedong, the army also began to move rapidly.

Li Yizhong's first general of Gyeonggi was transferred to Zhendingfu in the name of training.

The sixth, seventh, twelfth, and seventeenth generals of Gyeonggi were transferred to the Daimyo's Mansion;

Shaanxi's fifth, eighth, thirteenth, and fourteenth generals were transferred to Taiyuan Mansion.

Zhang Qi was transferred from Hetao Xingzhou Mansion to Taiyuan Mansion and served as the pacification envoy of Hedong Road.

Because after the introduction of the General Law, the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty were no longer allowed to interfere in the military, so the imperial court specially added a military position to Zhang Kai under the jurisdiction of the soldiers and horses of the Hedong Road, and entrusted the military and political power of Hedong to Zhang Qi.

Cai Jing, the head of the household department, had already submitted a petition requesting a reduction in the amount of Lingnan's appropriation in order to cope with the battle of Yanyun that could come at any time.

In fact, the Great Song Dynasty is not lacking war funds, but lacks energy, Hexi and Hetao were only withdrawn last year, and Annam Province was just put under control at the beginning of August, and there are many unstable factors in these places;

In addition, 200,000 Western Xia prisoners in the lower reaches of the Yellow River are governing the river, and 100,000 prisoners on the West Guangnan Road are building roads and ports, which is like two powder kegs, and the Great Song Dynasty must not spend a lot of energy on defense.

The operation of the imperial court has always been in a state of high-load operation, such as the Ministry of Industry, the Imperial Embassy, the Ministry of Households, the Sijia Temple, the Taifu Temple and other departments. More than half of the officials were dispatched to the local area to deal with affairs, and the yamen in the capital was empty, almost paralyzed.

If the battle of Yanyun resumes, even if the military can recover a large area of territory, the imperial court may not be able to spare energy to take over governance for a while, which is a headache, but don't be like Yang Guang. It's better to be greedy and chew more.

Ma Hanqing is now in a hurry, Zhang Dian and Xu Jiang have recruited him and scolded him, and the annual budget of the staff pavilion has now increased to 500,000 yuan. This is definitely a huge amount of money, you must know that before Yang Yi pacified the battle of Jiaozhi, the military expenditure was only two million guan;

Now the staff pavilion is spending so much. However, he failed to kill one or two of Chang Zhidi's subordinates in time, which made the Great Song Dynasty fall into passivity, so that just after the crusade against Jiaozhi, he had to prepare for the battle of Yanyun again, which naturally made Zhang Dian and their big men very dissatisfied.

If it weren't for Yang Yibao, ten Ma Hanqing would have finished playing.

Ma Hanqing used the flying pigeon transmission channel of the staff hall to send three red secret letters to Shangjing a day, only hoping that Yang Zhi and them could do it earlier, and it was best to lift the siege of Shangjing......

But Tokyo is a long way from Shangjing, even if it is to pass on the book with flying pigeons. It will also take several days, these days are undoubtedly extremely difficult, Ma Hanqing nested in the staff hall day and night, and did not even dare to go home;

Hua Mulan was already four months pregnant, and Thirteen Niang simply went to take her to Yang's house to live temporarily. Take good care of it.

The Academy was in charge of the preparation of edicts, the drafting of confidential edicts such as the appointment and dismissal of generals, and the command of conquests, and prepared the emperor's advisers, so the scholars of Hallym University were called "internal ministers". Because of the ban in the palace and close to the emperor, the academy is also called "Jade Hall" and "Jade Department".

Zhao Jie was young, and Yang Yi's "consultant" became a teacher. Usually the academy is a very quiet department. Yang Yi can often go to the Hanlin Academy of Painting, but now the Academy is also busy;

There were not many officials in the academy, and now nearly half of them were also sent to other yamen for emergency relief. It is also necessary to frequently draft various edicts and edicts on the transfer of troops and the appointment and dismissal of officials.

These edicts are not easy to write.

Because an edict usually does not go straight to the point, it is necessary to mention the three emperors and five emperors first, straighten out the causes and consequences, and explain a lot of general truths, and finally the real content of the edict; …,

Moreover, this kind of grass edict stamped with the imperial seal is to promulgate the holy decree of the world, so it is necessary to carefully consider the words and sentences, and pay special attention to the dictionaries, otherwise there will be a mistake in promulgating the holy decree of the world, which will be left stinking for thousands of years.

Liu Qingjing's level of knowledge is only average, in fact, the quality of this holy decree is all up to Yang Yi to check, this is really a tiring job.

At dusk that day, Yang Yi rubbed his sore shoulders and walked out of the academy.

Zhang Duan lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the street scene, and said indifferently: "Ren Zhi probably doesn't know yet, the envoys of the four Uighurs of Xizhou, the Yellow Head Uighurs, the Tubo Achaibu, and the Caotou Tatars have already arrived in Luoyang, Xijing, as if they have made an appointment!" ”

Yang Yi frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Isn't there any news of the Black Khan Envoy?" ”

"There has been no news from local officials about the Black Khan's emissary."

Yang Yi was silent for a while before he replied: "The Black Khan is not weak in his own national strength, I am afraid that this time he may not come, and the two families of Buddhism and Taoism have entered Khotan and other places to preach, I am afraid that it has aroused the vigilance of the Black Khan King." ”

Zhang Dian was noncommittal about this, and said with a light breath: "The affairs of the Western Regions should be slowed down first, it is really not appropriate to meddle in the Western Regions at this time, at least wait for a year, and wait for the river to be governed, and then the imperial court can breathe a sigh of relief. ”

Yang Yi rubbed his sore neck lightly and said with a wry smile: "That's the only way, but it can't be too cold to the hearts of the two families of Buddhism and Taoism. ”

"Well, let Ren take the lead in this matter then."

Yang Yi smiled bitterly again, and it was indeed the most appropriate for him to come forward, because when he stepped on the Jade Gate, his prestige had overridden all the ministries, and he would come forward to exert pressure, and the effect would definitely be better.

"Seven thousand flintlock pikemen, is it really not possible to let it be?" Zhang Dian changed his words and asked suddenly.

"If it is a head-to-head duel, 7,000 flintlock pikemen are enough to defeat 50,000 cavalry, but the northern grasslands are vast, and the Chang Zhidi is more familiar with the effectiveness of firearms, it is likely that he will not fight our army head-on.

Although Zhang Dian has not led troops to fight in the north, he understands that Yang Yi is right, nomads are called people on horseback, they do not have such and such a drag like the farming people, let alone the gains and losses of one city and one pool, because in fact there are not many cities in the north, including the Liao State, which was founded for more than 200 years, except for the Han people in the southwest and Beijing, most of the Khitan people still live a nomadic lifestyle, and even the Khitan emperor is nomadic all year round.

In the vast grassland, which is larger than the entire territory of the Great Song Dynasty, thousands of flintlock pikemen are like drops of water into the sea, which is indeed worrying.

The two were discussing, and suddenly there was a series of hurried horses' hooves behind them, and soon Ma Hanqing's voice came: "Zhang Xianggong, Scholar Yang, the lower officials have important information to report." ”

Zhang's carriage was very spacious, so he directly asked Ma Hanqing to get into the carriage.

"Zhang Xianggong, Scholar Yang, Xiaguan just received the news that Yang Zhi successfully assassinated the two generals of Changzhidi, Amuli and Da Luodu, and joined forces with Yelu Chunli in Shangjing City, taking advantage of the unstable army of the West Camp and the South Camp led by Amu Li and Da Luodu, launched a night attack, and the South Camp and the West Camp were broken that night, and the Obstruction Department lost more than 10,000 men and horses overnight, and the morale was greatly damaged, and the Chang Jurisdiction had to retreat to Changchun Prefecture, and the siege of Shangjing was resolved."

Hearing Ma Hanqing's words, Zhang Dian and Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, Amuli this person Yang Yi knew, when he first met Changzhidi in the Mobei Grassland, Amuli was the deputy general of Changzhidi, and his status was still inferior to Changzhidi; …,

The sudden assassination of such a character is indeed a great blow to the Divination Department. In addition, Yang Zhineng used the spy personnel of the staff hall to get in touch with Ye Luchun in the city, Yang Zhiyi assassinated people, and Ye Luchun immediately launched a night attack.

In this case, it is not surprising that the victory of 10,000 enemies can be achieved. Counting Yang Zhi, the long jurisdiction is equivalent to the loss of three generals overnight.

"Did Yang Zhi get out?"

"Scholar Yang can rest assured that Yang Zhi and those who may be exposed will get out at that time."

Yang Yi looked at Zhang Dan, the expression on Zhang Dan's face became relaxed, indeed, after this battle, the Great Song Dynasty can finally breathe a sigh of relief, if the Chang Jurisdiction wants to make a comeback, it is by no means something that will be able to do it in a while, and the two sides are equivalent to returning to the stage of stalemate.

It can be said that the staff hall has made a great contribution this time.

When Yang Yi, who was in a relaxed mood, passed by Xingguofang, he also entered his new house with great interest and walked around, this house covers an area of nearly 100 acres, which is larger than the house on the side of Jingmingfang.

Yang Yi looked very full, Liu Qingjing, this old man is not bad, hehe.

Since the family still lives in the house on the other side of Jingmingfang, only a small number of maid servants are sent here to be responsible for sprinkling and cleaning, and the courtyard looks very deserted.

When Yang Yi entered the backyard, he saw a few more people.

Princess Li Ying of Ningguo, Concubine Ruan Rou and Concubine Gu Meiniang were arranged by Thirteen Niang to live here, each with two maid rings, that's all.

On the small building near the water, the three of them were gossiping together, and when they saw Yang Yi suddenly arrive, the three of them could be said to be surprised and happy.

Since entering Beijing, they have been thrown here, and it is difficult to even get out of the door, and they don't know what their fate will be, and the anxiety is indescribable.

For them, it was already a very luxurious thing to be able to meet Yang Yi.

The tables, chairs, and screens in the house, all of which are new, are probably newly purchased by Thirteen Niang, and although Yang Yi said that Yang Yi asked Thirteen Niang to send the three of them away, it was just a casual talk between the husband and wife;

These three women have special identities, even if they really want to give them away, it is not easy, except for Yang Yi, I am afraid that few people dare to ask for them. Of course, if it is transferred by the emperor, it is a different matter.

Yang Yi understands this, and Thirteen Niang's heart is like a mirror.

Yang Yi has always been tolerant of Thirteen Niang, precisely because Thirteen Niang is smart enough to know what can and cannot be done, and this matter is very measured, and everything is within Yang Yi's tolerance.

After all, Yang Yi is the head of the family, and Su Song is about to return to his hometown, and even the Su family will have to rely on Yang Yi in the future.

With Thirteen Niang's IQ and understanding of Yang Yi, of course, Yang Yi's tolerance of her will not be regarded as weak and bulliable.
