Chapter 84 The Story of Emperor Taizong
After all, Wu Sidao is not an ordinary person. Since he followed Yinzhen, he has offered many wonderful strategies. Naturally, he will actively plan this time. It's just that he is in the middle of the game, and many problems can't be seen clearly. Therefore, he has been thinking for a long time, but It is difficult to think of a good way to break the game.

Li Wei on the side didn't dare to talk too much at first, but since joining Yinzhen's family last year, he hasn't given any credit. Now seeing Yinzhen's deep adversity, he secretly felt that it was a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds, so he said immediately: "Master, there is more than one way to do things. If there is no way to go, why don't you take a detour?"

What he said was vague, which made Yinzhen a little puzzled, but Wu Sidao, who was listening from the sidelines, his eyes lit up when he heard it, but Wu Sidao just squinted his eyes, but didn't directly open his mouth to explain it. He had to listen again This idea of ​​Li Wei, this is Wu Sidao's brilliance.

Seeing that Yinzhen was puzzled, and seeing that Wu Sidao didn't speak a word, Li Wei made up his mind and revealed his previously hidden banditry, "Fourth master might as well follow Taizong's story." These words are too blatant , the Taizong mentioned here is not Qing Taizong Huang Taiji, but Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

Everyone knows the story of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. As a template for seizing the heir, it can be said that since the Tang Dynasty, all the struggles for the heirloom have all wanted to follow the example of this predecessor and seize the heir with arms. For everyone in the Kangxi period Brother, naturally he has memorized it fluently, and he has never thought about it in his heart.

But after all, the times are different. Li Shimin himself was made with one sword and one gun, and he has strength in the army, but what strength does he, Yinzhen, have?Except for one governor, Nian Gengyao, who is far away in Sichuan, there is almost no support from the army. Instead, the fourteenth elder brother personally leads the general Fuyuan. point.What is the meaning of mentioning Xiao Taizong's story at this time?

Thinking of this, Yinzhen felt a little unhappy, but although he was mean and ungrateful by nature, he also knew that it was time to employ people, so he didn't want to be harsh, so he wanted to ask Li Wei to leave first.

Just before Yinzhen made any statement, Wu Sidao was a little surprised. He is not a serious scholar, but a real emperor teacher. Therefore, when he heard this suggestion, he nodded subtly and whispered: : "Fourth Master, this idea is not hopeless, it can turn the tide of defeat at a critical moment."

Yinzhen smiled wryly and said: "Mr. Wu, don't joke, this is just child's play." Even though he said that, his tone was already hesitant.

Yinzhen also understands in his heart that no matter whether he succeeds or not, this step will probably be a disaster.If he can't be the emperor, how can he realize those ambitions in his heart?He will not be reconciled, so no matter what, Yinzhen will choose to give it a go.

Wu Sidao smiled slightly, but only point to the end, there is no need to say too much, as long as Yinzhen's inner thoughts are strengthened, it is enough, as for how to do it?Isn't there another Li Wei?
Since that day, Prince Yong's Mansion has closed its doors and no longer welcomes outsiders. The reason is very simple, Prince Yong wants to close the door and devote himself to the Buddha without seeing outsiders.Of course, that's what they said on the surface, but the spies at the sticky pole became more and more active.

Because of the imminent return of the Fourteenth Master, the entire capital city has become turbulent. The major families did not know how many transactions were made in secret, and how many interests were re-divided. , but has not received much attention.

The matter of Chu Ni seems to have never really stayed in the hearts of these big shots. A few names such as Ning Zhongyuan and Ning Yu may flash in their minds, but they will not leave any impression at all. In the hearts of these big shots, what really cares about It will always be the every move of Emperor Kangxi.

But at this time, the Fuhan Army did not stop. According to the order issued by the Metropolitan Government, the current Fuhan Army will be reorganized and its combat power will be expanded so as to meet the upcoming decisive battle in Huguang. We all know that this battle is inevitable, but if we win this battle, the situation will enter a new era.

As the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Ning Yu naturally planned the whole army plan. He was dizzy with his daily work, and even Cui Si was also busy. Although the two were about to get married, there was no time to think about it at this time. These things, so there is a lot less embarrassment.

According to the previous plan, the new Fuhan Army will be organized in three divisions, with 5000 people in each division. The lack of flintlock guns will be replenished once at the end of the month, and the shortfall will be temporarily replaced with captured Qing army shotguns, while the artillery is basically no Therefore, the 5000 people are basically equipped with complete equipment, and their combat effectiveness can be fully displayed.

As for the originally captured Qing army, except for some green battalion officers and soldiers who cut their braids and surrendered, all the others went into the mine to work. The number of guns produced by the gun workshop is also increasing.

Ning Yu also selected some recruits and some veterans to form a garrison force, a total of 9000 people, divided into three garrison regiments, stationed in Wuchang, Hanyang, and Huangzhou respectively. Under the siege of the Qing army, it persisted for a while.Especially for the sake of peace of mind, the main generals of these three garrison regiments are almost all the children of the Ning family, so there is no need to worry about whether there will be a rebellion.

In addition, Ning Yu also used some of the flat-bottomed sand boats of the Qing army that he had previously captured to form a small-scale Yangtze River Navy, which is currently only used in Wuchang Hanyang and other places, but Ning Yu has also begun to consciously absorb naval and shipbuilding talents. After all, fighting in the Yangtze River and other places, the strength of the navy is still very impressive.

After these tasks have been fully completed, it has basically reached the beginning of November, and at this time the clouds of war have begun to emerge over Hubei. Man Pi and Wang Wenhuan have assembled the Qing army in Hubei together, a total of 3 The men and horses were stationed in Xiangyang, and the [-] Hunan Green Camp officers and soldiers led by Hunan governor Zhang Changen were also stationed in Yuezhou, and the distance from Hanyang Mansion was only one Honghu Lake.

The Anhui and Jiangxi Qing armies to the east of the Fuhan army also began to move, but it was too late for the Qing army to gather in these two provinces, so they only stationed a few thousand troops on the main roads to prevent the Fuhan army from suddenly moving eastward.

It can be said that since Ning Yu led people to take down Daye and Huangzhou Mansions, the entire Qing army in Hubei and Hunan has begun to move, but the efficiency of the green battalion is slow and low, so it is difficult to make some actions throughout October, and now they have just integrated The finished Huguang Qing army is ready to divide into two groups and attack Hanyang Mansion together.
