Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 1055 Spring Northern Expedition?

However, the same thing will not happen to Wang Mi, even if he becomes the emperor, he will never trap himself in the palace for life.

Since the offensive and defensive alliance was reached, the relationship between Wang Zhenying and Wang Mi has become much closer. There is no need to misunderstand, there is no romantic affair, but they are just good partners.

There are no other guests today, and both the host and the guest are relatively at ease.

In addition, Wang Zhenying is not the only one in the inner palace now, Dr. Song Qingyin is almost by her side.

With Song Qingyin in the middle, the meal tasted more delicious and natural.

However, everyone knows that eating is just an excuse, a incidental event, and the two parties meet for more important things.

Naturally, it was Wang Mi who started this matter.

Who made him still a courtier?

Seeing that Wang Zhenying also ate something, he felt happier, so he took the opportunity to say: "This morning, I led a group of general workshops to the suburbs to test new weapons, and now I can give the Queen Mother an answer. Your weapon has been successfully manufactured, and it will be sent to the battlefield in a few days!"

Wang Zhenying nodded slightly, sure enough, this topic still revolves around fighting.

"Congratulations, King Langya is indeed young and promising."

"Come on, let me toast you."

Wang Zhenying raised the wine glass first, and Song Qingyin beside her was naturally not behind. As a courtier, Wang Mi, how could he hesitate on the issue of drinking.

A few people toasted, and soon, they experimented with weapons privately, without informing the inner palace, so they turned over lightly.

It was so smooth that it was almost unexpected, especially for Wang Mi, now that he was here, he felt a little unreal.

Is all this real?

Although the empress dowager is of a high seniority, she is actually only a few years older than Wang Mi, and she is also a woman with a beautiful smile.

Especially in the past few months after Sima Yao's death, her mood was getting better every day, and she seemed to be full of blood and youthful.

Song Qingyin on the side is also elegant, and she looks like a knowledgeable woman.

In this way, the two beauties kindly invited him to eat, drink and drink, and encouraged him again and again, all kinds of praises, such as young and promising, unrivaled heroes, and all kinds of good things.

From the perspective of human nature, Wang Mi is just an ordinary man, how can he resist such flattery?
Unconsciously, I became dizzy, and I couldn't even distinguish between east, west, north and south.

I always feel that this day is a bit illusory.

Although he does have strength beyond this era, but these people, that is, these ladies, would value him so much and help him with all their strength. To be honest, Wang Mi was really unexpected.

It went so well too!

It will inevitably make people feel a little unreal.

However, something even more unreal is still waiting for him.

Wang Zhenying and Song Qingyin exchanged glances, Qingyin immediately understood and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is now the arm that our mothers rely on. From now on, what happens to the Great Jin will depend on what you do."

"So, today, the king is invited to enter the palace, one is for entertainment, and the other is entrustment. There are no monarchs and ministers here, only two weak women are eagerly looking forward to it."

"You don't have to be restrained, just treat it as a family feast."

Of course, the family banquet can be a family banquet, but, you know, even if it is a real family banquet, in this Jiankang Palace, there is still a bit of murmuring.

Who knows what these women want to do when they are tied together!
Wang Mi suddenly felt that today was a bit of a mistake.

Look at the opposite side, there is Wang Zhenying and Song Qingyin, neither of them are easy to mess with. They are full of hearts and minds. The two of them are in an absolute alliance relationship, and there is nothing to say about the relationship.

The combat power of the two together should be quite high.

Looking at Wang Mi's side again, it's completely out of disadvantage.

There was only one person, no matter whether it was the shrewd He Wuji or the frighteningly powerful Tan Pingzhi, not a single good brother was brought here.

At the critical moment, there is not even a helper!

Too bad!

It's a pity, it's too late to regret now.

You can't find someone now, it's simply impossible.

So, I had no choice but to bite the bullet.

"The empress dowager has any orders, but it's okay to say. I have said long ago that even if there is a future, my heart towards the empress dowager will not change, and I will never treat my empress badly."

"In front of the empress, I will always be respectful, and will not make the empress feel displeased. If you have any orders, you can open up and say."

Wang Zhenying put down her chopsticks and looked at Wang Mi fixedly.

Although the words sound nice, she also knows that when that day comes, Wang Mi will never be able to keep his word.

If you can do half of it, it's good.

However, although there is such a psychological preparation, but what should be said, still has to be said.

"Since the new weapons are now made, the Northern Expedition is not far away, right?"

"When are you going to start preparing, Zhiyuan?"

The Empress Dowager made the first move, and Wang Mi became more magnanimous.

"To tell you the truth, since I returned to Jiankang this time, I have been preparing for the Northern Expedition. I have taken care of all aspects, whether it is soldiers or firearms."

"As for the Northern Expedition, since I have made so many preparations, it will definitely be carried out. Please rest assured, Empress Dowager."

"Your Majesty trusts me and makes me the king of Langya. Naturally, I will not disappoint your Majesty's expectations. I will definitely be able to regain the homeland of the Central Plains!"

While Wang Mi was talking, Wang Zhenying nodded. She had heard too much of this kind of talk, and there was nothing new about it, and that was not what she was concerned about.

As soon as Wang Mi finished speaking, she answered, "Then when do you plan to leave?"

"A specific date has not been set, however, no later than this spring."

"spring?"

"So fast?"

"It's not suitable for warship sailing!"

Although Wang Zhenying is a boudoir, she is not ignorant of the so-called war.

She also knows something.

Now the north and the south are in a state of peace for the time being. On the one hand, the tribes in the north are not stable and do not want to provoke new disputes. On the other hand, the natural conditions are not suitable.

Obviously, at this time, the north is still freezing, and the big rivers are frozen, which is far from the time of civilization.

For the Southern Legion, it is essential to use warships for water warfare.

How can a boat sail on such a frozen river bank?

Therefore, not only now, but also in previous years, in this cold season, the southern troops also belonged to the defensive position.

As long as you can guarantee that you will not be bullied by the northern legion when the water is not abundant in winter, or even when it freezes, this year will not be in vain.

In contrast, the Southern Legion hates winter, while the Northern Legion has a different kind of affection for winter.

Although the supply of fodder will become very tight in this season, logically speaking, it is not a good time to do it.

However, fodder can be prepared in advance.

After all, whether it is war horses or pack donkeys, there is no need to eat particularly fresh forage, as long as there is hay.

As long as there are enough reserves in one or two years, it can handle a large-scale winter campaign.

On the contrary, the freezing period of severe cold is a rare good time.

As long as the temperature is low enough, the ice surface will be frozen very thick, so whether it is a person, a horse, or even a large chariot, they can walk on the ice without any scruples, without worrying about subsidence or breakage. .

This also explains why winter is the time for the Southern Legion to strengthen its defense, just to guard against such an impact.

However, this winter, it can be said that it was so safe and sound,

Not to mention a large-scale battle, there is not even a small-scale sneak attack, so quiet, so honest.

This is simply not normal.

However, abnormality is also normal now. It can be said that the current situation is entirely due to Wang Mi's credit.

If he hadn't been too brave in several battles, he wouldn't have frightened these wealthy families into not daring to invade the southern border easily.

According to ancient ethics, after such a few victories, the North and the South can live in peace for several years.

The border has achieved a rare peace, and for the Southern Jin Dynasty who did not build a country with martial arts, this is definitely a blessing.

If others don't come to attack it, it's already hard to come by, so what more can you ask for?
How could he take the initiative to pick things up?Don't want to mess around?
However, right now, Wang Mi actually claims to launch a large-scale Northern Expedition this spring, which cannot but worry the Queen Mother Wang Zhenying.

It's too early too!
Need this?

You must know that even in spring, the rivers in the extremely cold places in the north are far from fully opened.

Not to mention, winter and spring are generally dry and rainy in the north. Under such circumstances, no matter how big the river is, it will often enter the dry season.

If there is not enough water, how can we sail?

Especially those large warships that require water combat?

This is all common sense, even Wang Zhenying knows that Wang Mi, a general who leads troops to fight, cannot fail to consider it.

That being the case, why should we choose spring?
Now that the current situation is so good, and the north is in chaos, there is no room for a large-scale battle in a short period of time, at least within five years.

Why not wait for a more opportune time to strike?
Isn't that more sure?

Wang Zhenying kindly put forward her own opinions, and Wang Mi nodded frequently to express her approval. As a boudoir, she almost never participated in the political affairs of the previous dynasty. It is not easy for Wang Zhenying to have such opinions.

"The empress dowager's worries are justified. If the current situation in the Beifu is still the same as before, I will make more preparations, and wait until the strength has accumulated to a certain level before launching the Northern Expedition."

"However, the situation is different now. Even if it is a spring march, it is not without certainty of victory."

Wang Zhenying frowned, together with Song Qingyin's share, the two ladies were puzzled by what Wang Mi said.

Wang Mi said with a smile: "Empress Dowager, Neisheren, please listen to me."

"In the past, the southern army was afraid of the nobles in the north because their soldiers and horses were strong and they controlled millions of strings. However, we lack horses in the south, and the soldiers are not as strong as the northerners."

"Moreover, the southerners are good at water warfare, but once they reach the northern border, they always need to launch land warfare. Once here, our army often suffers."

"After all, we have too few war horses, and the nobles in the north rely on tens of thousands of war horses. Once they charge with war horses, it will be difficult for our army to resist."

"So, for so many years, the Northern Expedition has always been difficult to carry out. Even if it is carried out, it often fails. This is the reason."

Wang Zhenying nodded frequently, thinking: Don't you know everything?
"Since that's the case, what's the king's way of defeating the enemy?"

"Only rely on that cannon?"

Wang Zhenying had never seen that cannon with her own eyes, but hearing the movement, it was indeed very powerful.

She also knew that Wang Mi was a hard-working general, spending all day in the general's workshop, all kinds of busy work, mainly supervising the manufacture of various new weapons.

She also knows that these new weapons have unique new names, namely: firearms.

The method of use is mainly related to fire. These days, under the auspices of Wang Mi, many firearms have been made.

However, Wang Zhenying is also an adult, and she really doubts whether it is really possible to pacify the Central Plains with just a few so-called cannons?
It's too little!
If there are as many cannons as there are bows and arrows, then you can believe it.

Therefore, Wang Zhenying is still full of doubts about Wang Mi's confidence. Logically speaking, she doesn't need to worry about such things.

She is just the empress dowager in the deep palace, and whether the battle is good or not has nothing to do with her.

She just needs to be able to maintain things in this small area around her.

Since she can't take care of this aspect of things, she doesn't want to worry about it. Originally, Wang Zhenying is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune.

If she liked to control power, she wouldn't make Wang Mi the King of Langya.

There are so many people in this world who are incompetent and unwilling to make others happy. As the empress dowager of Dajin, she doesn't delegate power, so there is no problem at all.Maybe, those ministers in the court will applaud!

very good!
Wonderful!
Since she is willing to delegate power, and is even willing to unite with Wang Mi and push him, it shows that she doesn't care about such things, and is even tired of power struggles.

However, facing such a major event as the Northern Expedition, she still couldn't help but say something more.

Wang Mi saw all of Wang Zhenying's worries, and he also expressed his understanding of her worries, but not all the reasons could be explained to her clearly.

He could only hear him say: "Empress Dowager, don't worry, I have made all the preparations and made my own arrangements."

"In this expedition, we will definitely recapture the old capital, and plant our Great Jin military flag on the tower of Chang'an City!"

Wang Zhenying was slightly taken aback, and thought: The military flag of the Great Jin Dynasty?

This Langya King, even today, with no eyeliner or other people around him, he is still advancing one by one.

He can really pretend.

He can really act.

Then he raised his glass happily and said with a smile: "Since Your Majesty has confidence, I will wait here in Jiankang Palace for good news from Your Majesty!"

"On the day your Majesty goes out to fight, I will definitely bring His Majesty out of the city to see you off!"

Wang Zhenying drank the wine in the glass...
