Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1503 Three before enthronement

The establishment of the Ming Dynasty is too short, and the background is still too little, and it has come out of the troubled times, so it needs more time to heal the harm of the people.

Therefore, at present, apart from the fact that the Ming Dynasty has a relatively strong army, it is actually only a strong external force, and it is really not necessarily an opponent of the alliance of the four princes when it really fights for national strength and consumption.

Mujing is next, and he is already ready to recuperate.

Only by accumulating more power can one punch out harder. It is best to accumulate enough power before attacking. It can directly destroy the dead, win the whole world, unify the country, and end the troubled times.

Of course, changes in this world will always come faster than plans. No matter how good your plan is, sometimes it is difficult to overcome the changes. no.

What Mu Jing hopes most now is that after the establishment of the Great Ming Dynasty, there will be a period of stability, enough for him to recuperate and recover his strength.

In addition, the mass production of the red cannon also takes time.

Now that the red-clothed cannon has come out, in the future, Mu Jing plans to use the red-clothed cannon as the main weapon and suppress the entire era with the most powerful weapon. This may be the fastest way for him to end the troubled times.

........................

At noon, the North City Gate, the gate.

A bodyguard escorted him down, and Xi Zhicai finally rushed back. Seeing the majestic Yudu City, he showed a slight smile on his somewhat vicissitudes face.

"It's finally back!"

It's been a while since Xi Zhicai went to the northern border. This time, he gave a very satisfactory answer to the Luoyang battle and handed it over to the entire Ming country.

Now he deserves the title of the first military division of the Ming Dynasty.

"My lord, why don't you go home first, Madam has been waiting for a long time?"

"Go to Ming Palace first!"

Xi Zhicai thought about it, and said: "Since the king has come back, why don't we go to see the king first!"

"promise!"

The head of the personal guard bowed his hands and nodded.

After entering the city, Beicheng was the center of Jiangbei County. He had been away for a long time, and when he returned to Yudu again, he felt that Yudu had changed a lot.

"I came to this street last year, but it was still relatively deserted. It's much more lively. It seems that there are many more shops?"

Only Xi Zhi has the quality of being good at observation. After all, as a high-ranking member of the Ming Dynasty, he also pays attention to the responsibility of the people's livelihood. In his position, Zhaoming Pavilion participates in politics and can make decisions on the big and small affairs of the Ming Dynasty. The boundary between the military and the government is already very blurred.

"Since the four great princes declared war on our Ming country, the Ming country has been a little turbulent, but not only our Ming country is in turmoil, the world is in chaos!"

The long follower beside Xi Zhicai is a young man named Xi Zhicai who is loyal to Xi Zhicai. He reported to Xi Zhicai in a low voice, saying: "Our Ming army has won many people's hearts with successive victories and won the hearts of the people. Many people in the world think that the Ming country is safe. I heard that in the past few months, many people have flooded into our Ming country area. Some wealthy families have sent some caravans to Yudu to buy properties. It should be here. The meaning of setting up a new lineage is that there are countless wealthy families in the world, more people come in, and they bring a lot of money, so it will naturally become lively and prosperous!"

"How do you know so much?" Xi Zhi was a little surprised.

This young man was named Xi Bing, because when he was picked up, he was in a world of ice and snow. He had followed his surname since he was a child, and he was good at martial arts. He was also a good young man.

"Masters who participate in politics take care of everything and deal with big things every day, and the younger ones are by the side. They just read some memorials that the adults who participate in politics don't read, so they naturally understand something!" The young man smiled.

"You!"

Xi Zhicai rolled his eyes at him, and said: "When I was a schoolboy back then, and now I play with me, it can be regarded as having experience and experience, and I should have been alone long ago!"

"That's my job, just follow Mr. Shenzheng!" The young man scratched his head, his life was saved only by Xi Zhi.

"Fuck you!"

Xi Zhicai said: "After these things are done, go to Hongdu Academy to report. Be more nervous about your own future. In my position, I am destined not to give you too much money!"

If he is not upright, how can he support the New Deal? As Mu Jing's confidant and from a poor family, the New Deal is what he is most optimistic about, so he naturally desperately supports it.

"Don't!" the young man said, "Participating in politics can't be left alone!"

"I still need you to worry!" Xi Zhicai rolled his eyes at him and said, "This is a great era, Ming Dynasty is about to set sail, we will go farther, fly higher, and need more Talent support, if you don’t have the ability, I won’t persuade you, if you have the ability, don’t delay, we are all from poor families, there are not many opportunities to get ahead, we must be good at grasping it!”

Hearing the words, the young man was immediately moved. No one wants to be a servant forever, but he also felt a little sentimental in his heart. Although he and Xi Zhicai are masters and servants, they are like brothers. He was educated like his own younger brother, and he was taught martial arts and reading and writing. If he went to Hongdumen to study and became an official in the future, he would definitely not be the long-term follower of a playwright.

"Drive!!!"

Xi Zhicai didn't care about his thoughts anymore, he flicked his long whip, galloped up, and headed straight for Ming Palace.

………………

When Xi Zhicai came back, Mu Jing was eating, and Diao Chan sent someone to deliver lunch. In fact, most people in this world eat morning and evening meals, twice a day.

But Mu Jing couldn't do it, he had to eat three meals a day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast was light, lunch was the best, and dinner was casual.

This is reasonable.

However, the era is a thing, if you want to reverse it, it is not so simple. Most people go to work in the morning and eat in the evening when they go home in the evening.

Diaochan knew that Mujing had to eat at noon, so she asked someone to bring him food.

He was enjoying his meal when Xi Zhi arrived.

Mujing looked at Xi Zhicai, who had lost a lot of weight and was out of breath, and asked politely, "Are you hungry?"

"hungry!"

Mu Jing forgot one thing, looking at the entire Ming Kingdom, the only person who is not pretentious or polite to him is this buddy in front of him.

Xi Zhicai ate dry food in the morning, and it would be nice to have a mouthful of dry food on the way. His eyes had already turned white from hunger, and he suddenly saw the delicious food in front of Mujing, so he couldn't bear it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding, I will not be polite to you!"

The speed at which he sat down was very fast, and those who knew Mujing too well were afraid that this fellow would return halfway.

"You are not polite at all!"

Mu Jing sighed, looked at him resentfully, and could only say: "Zhong Heng, go and prepare a pair of chopsticks and a bowl of rice for the opera and politics!"

"Yes!"

Huo Yu smiled, the lunch that Diao Chan prepared for Mu Jing was not only hearty, but also big in portion, so he packed a bowl of rice and was looking for a pair of chopsticks for him.

"My lord, it's not that I don't want to be polite, I'm so hungry that I can't speak, I really can't be polite!" Xi Zhicai started to gobble up.

When Mu Jing saw it, he immediately lost his appetite. This buddy is still a scholar, and he is a military commander. You have swept away all the dishes, so how can you eat them yourself?

Two quarters of an hour later, Mujing asked people to remove the tableware. In the past, there were some leftovers, but today the soup was licked clean.

Xi Zhicai is a reincarnation of a starving ghost.

"You're not alone now. You don't know how to go home when you're hungry, and you don't know how to be polite with you. You go home and eat and drink enough to take a beautiful bath, and then say goodbye to your daughter-in-law." It takes only two days for the newlyweds, and I don't mind at all!"

Mu Jing sipped warm tea, and joked with Xi Zhicai.

"You don't mind, there are a lot of people who do mind!" Xi Zhicai glanced at him, and said, "I came back from the northern frontier, and I returned from meritorious service, but I didn't come to meet the king immediately. , and went home, that’s a matter of attitude, I’m sure your desk will be filled with memorabilia for impeaching me the next day, and then you’ll say that I’m arrogant, arrogant and domineering...you just wait Get a headache!"

"This is too!"

Mu Jing shivered.

Sometimes what you don't care about is a big thing in the eyes of others. Xi Zhicai made meritorious service in this battle. If he came back and put on an arrogant and domineering look, he would be impeached immediately. Since ancient times, military power has touched people's hearts , Not many people hope that Xi Zhi can take military power.

Xi Zhicai's status in the Privy Council has skyrocketed too fast, not to mention the Zhengshitang, even some generals in the army will suppress his progress.

After all, Huang Zhong is now the head of the Privy Council.

At this time, as long as Xi Zhicai showed a little space, they would stare at them like flies. They might not hurt Xi Zhicai, but they would definitely annoy Mujing so much that he couldn't eat.

"What's the current situation in the northern border?" Mu Jing returned to the topic, since he's here anyway, he doesn't feel at ease if he doesn't ask.

"It's still stable!"

Xi Zhicai said: "But Zhang Liao can't withdraw for the time being."

"I know!"

Mu Jing nodded: "Zhang Wenyuan dares to leave the northern border for half a step, dare to say, they will besiege Luoyang again!"

"Actually, I don't care much about Wei Jun and Hebei Zhou Jun!"

Xi Zhicai analyzed: "The soldiers and horses in Hebei were disabled by us, and they are lingering in Hanoi. As long as we work harder, it will not be a big problem to regain Hanoi. However, the Wei army and Xia Houyuan suddenly withdrew their troops and went north. The only remaining soldiers and horses in Hulao Pass There are problems in defending, and there is absolutely no possibility of coming out, the only worry is, Youzhou Yanjun!"

"Has Xia Houyuan left Hulao?"

Mu Jing was a little surprised.

"Ok!"

Xi Zhicai guessed: "It should be some problems between Hebei and the Central Plains, but there is not much news so far, so I'm not sure yet!"

"Is there no news from Jing Wusi?" Mu Jing frowned.

"Jingwusi has also been hit hard recently. In the Luoyang battle, Jingwusi sacrificed a lot. The northern border also wants to be implicated in some strongholds. The casualties in the northern border are not light!"

Xi Zhicai replied: "The news is a bit slow, which is normal. I heard that Jing Wusi has made another good show in Xudu recently, and I have focused all my energy on Xudu!"

"normal!"

Mu Jing sighed: "In war, there are sacrifices!"

Yuan Shao is not an idiot, this battle is obviously an asymmetry in the news, after he withdraws, he will definitely make a big slaughter in this respect, and Jing Wusi will be frustrated to some extent.

"There was some news before that the Hebei army was going south, but the specifics are not too clear!" Mu Jing read some memorials, the memorials passed down by Jing Wusi, and Jing Wusi was just guessing about this news. There is no grasp of the gentry.

"I guess there must be a lot of them going south!" Xi Zhicai said.

"No way!"

Mu Jing thinks Yuan Shao is not so stupid: "Whether it is the Hebei Zhou army or the Central Plains Wei army, they are all beaten up by themselves, and they will kill each other!"

"This is what is called fighting in the nest!"

Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "If he can't beat us, he has to find a soft persimmon to pinch. In the Central Plains battle, Youzhou saved a lot of troops. It was very difficult for him to fight, but in the Central Plains, Cao Cao's defeat was even more tragic. You Tell me if he'll get upset!"

"This is in line with Yuan Benchu's actions!"

Mujing sneered.

If Yuan Shao wanted to talk about how much ability he had, he really couldn't talk about it. He had a good background and ability, and the city government also had it, but the only thing he lacked was his long-term vision.

This person is not only narrow-minded, but also narrow-minded. Even without Cao Cao, it would be difficult for him to achieve great things.

"If it's really like this, that's great!" Mu Jing sneered a little: "Gu can rest assured to proclaim himself emperor!"

"You really want to become emperor?" Xi Zhicai looked at Mu Jing with vivid eyes, he knew what was going to happen sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

"The arrow is on the string, and we have to fire it!" Mu Jing spread his hands: "Zhaoming Pavilion has already made a decision, and this matter will not be changed even if the sky falls!"

"I'm in a hurry, but..." Xi Zhicai pondered for a moment, and said: "It's also a good time. Once we become emperor, we will make up for the lack of our Ming Dynasty's reputation. It's better to change the dynasty than the next one." Already!"

"More than that!"

Mu Jing said: "We want the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and if we want them to flock to us, we have to give them a status, hang on the name of the Han Dynasty, and do things against the Han Dynasty, what do you want the people to think? Do you think of yourself as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, or do you think of yourself as a commoner of the Han Dynasty!"

Proclaiming emperor is not a name, but an orthodoxy, an orthodox position to rule the world in a legitimate way.

There are bound to be objections.

But as long as you get through it, you can let the people forget the identity of the people of the Han Dynasty from their hearts. People's hearts are sometimes such a simple thing.

"En!" Xi Zhicai nodded: "Since that's the case, there's no need to worry!"

"Gu is not scruples. Hu Zhao and the others are planning this matter. Gu is at ease. Gu is worried now. After proclaiming emperor, who dares to fight Gu!"

Mu Jing looked at Xi Zhicai, and returned to the chat channel just now: "There are too many enemies in the northern border, but according to you, the only ones who are capable of marching into Henan are probably the Yan army from Hedong!"

"That's right!"

Xi Zhicai nodded: "The Yan Army has been stationed in Hedong, and it can be defeated at any time, which is enough for us to worry about. Although I don't think Zhang Fei has this kind of thought recently, he is constantly encroaching on Bingzhou and Hebei's territory, but No one can predict whether he will be killed suddenly!"

"It's possible!"

Mu Jing stood up, paced back and forth, and asked after a while, "How many troops can be mobilized for combat in the northern border?"

"In the battle of Luoyang, we were seriously injured, and we are recuperating now, but..."

Xi Zhicai thought about it for a while before answering: "If you have to fight, it's not bad to be able to squeeze out an army. If you have more troops, it may not work, and it will affect Henan's defense system!"

"Write to Zhang Liao and ask if he dares to send troops to eat Hedong!"

Mu Jing straightened his heart and said directly.

"Ask Zhang Wenyuan?"

"He is on the front line, and he will fight if he wants to fight. We can't measure the risk here. We don't want to fight alone and don't want to go to war at this time. But Hedong is a hidden danger. Among the entire defense line, Hedong is the most dangerous. Eat it Hedong is the best way I can come up with at the moment, and the best way to pre-empt strikes. Once Hedong is eaten, the Yan army will lose the bridgehead to go south. It will take time for them to go south, and it will be impossible in a short time!"

Mu Jing said: "But the current situation in Henan is not very stable, and the risk of fighting is very high, so this matter is left to Zhang Wenyuan to decide. If he decides to fight, it's best. If he doesn't fight, tell him that it must be on the Hedong side. Build a line of defense, and I will never allow the Yan army to go south!"

"Okay, I'll send a secret letter to Zhang Liao immediately!"

Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up, Mujing's decisive killing was indeed much better than him, many things were just considered by him, but made by Mujing.
