I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 232 Divide and Conquer

Before long, on the third day after returning to Beijing, Fu Jinchuan was ordered to go to the palace to participate in the discussion.

In the outer hall of Jinshen Abode of Daming Palace, there are six ministers led by the two prime ministers Li Fuzhi and Xie Qian, as well as civil officials such as Yushi doctor.

Yang Jixun, Duke of Fu, Tang Xianzong, Duke of Xin, a group of Dukes, Uncle Hou, and the Commander in Beijing.

Dozens of civil and military ministers were divided into two sides, which did not make the hall appear crowded and narrow.

This huge map of the world hangs in the north direction of the hall, including the Golden Horde Khanate in the north, the Qingtang Dynasty on the Xihai Plateau, the Western Regions under the control of Buddhism, and the Jin Dynasty in the world.

Beside the giant map of the world, there is also a smaller map. This map mainly shows the mountains, rivers, and city passes in the western part of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Including Jiannan, Shannan, Longyou, Shuofang, Hexi, Guanzhong, and Qianzhong Road just separated from Jiangnan Road.

"Wang Hechen, governor of Jingzhou, pursued the rebel Cheng Jun's troops and fought in the Bashan area for more than a month, defeating the rebel Cheng Jun and Liu Taiqing's troops with more than [-] men, and then the rebel Cheng Jun's troops flowed into Zhongzhou and Wanzhou in Shannan Province."

"Fang Qiu and Fang Jiao's units were defeated by Wang Xiongyi's Zhen Guojun in Guanzhong, and then fought a battle with the Xiongwu Army in Liangzhou. After losing the victory, they entered Shu and joined Zhang Xia's troops who were originally in trouble in Shu. , the current Red Lotus Army in Central Shu has nearly 10 people."

"The Xilu issued a call-up order after the year, and all men above [-] and men under [-] must participate in the assembly. According to the time of the Qingtang people, it happens to be the time for the Red Lotus Army to enter Guanzhong."

"The Generalissimo has ordered Zhu Lingshi, governor of Kuizhou, to lead the army to wipe out the rebel Cheng Jun's troops who flowed into Zhongzhou. Wang Hechen led the army back to Jingzhou. Cheng Jintang led the army to stand by in Shangzhou. The reinforcements from Guanzhong have already entered Shu."

It was Niu Daoqian who read out the military situation for everyone. After moving from the Ministry of Industry to the Ministry of War, this Niu Shangshu's demeanor became more and more dignified.

He was already tall and had a thick voice, but in terms of appearance, it would not be against his affiliation to call him a great general if he put on a suit of armor.

Both Emperor Daojun and Zuo Pushe Li Fuzhi valued him very much. For him, the position of prime minister was only a matter of time.Therefore, Niu Daoqian is also known as the "prime minister" by the government and the public.

"I believe that Jiannan Dao really needs a general to sit in charge, but if it is given a Jiedu envoy, it needs to be done with caution."

After talking about the military situation, Niu Daoqian repeated his opinion again.This almost represents the opinion of the majority of civil servants.

In terms of geographical location, Jiannan Road is connected to Nanzhao in the south and Qingtang in the west. As an important border area, it really needs a heavy army.

But the special geographical location in central Shu had to be considered.

Shu Road is difficult, and it is difficult to ascend to the sky.

No matter whether you are going out of Sichuan or entering Sichuan, you have to face such problems.It is because Shuzhong can be used as an independent kingdom with four fortresses.

In the past dynasties, there have been many people who have occupied the middle of Sichuan and caused chaos. It often takes a lot of energy, manpower and material resources for the imperial court to eliminate them.

Therefore, the idea of ​​​​civilian officials is that Jiedushi cannot be set up, and a temporary marching chief should be dispatched or deployed to lead the battle.

The generals' thinking is naturally the opposite.

After all, having one more Jiedushi is equivalent to having an extra position of great authority for the honorable generals.

The civil and military officials of the Jin Dynasty formed a huge disagreement on this matter. They have been arguing endlessly about this matter since they received information from Hexi and Longyou a month ago.

So after Niu Daoqian finished speaking, Yang Jixun, the Duke of Fuguo, immediately said: "Nowadays, the war is urgent, and Jiannan Road is an important border town. It is time to set up a festival to manage military affairs. Without Jiedu, there is no way to control the army. "

Afterwards, civil and military officials expressed their opinions on this matter, basically saying that civil officials should be cautious, but they did not expressly oppose it.

On the side of the military commander, he strongly advocated Jiannan Road to build a festival.

Fu Jinchuan had never participated in such a small court meeting before, so he didn't interrupt rashly. He just sat behind his father and observed the situation in the hall without saying a word.

Emperor Daojun sat in the middle, noncommittal, and never showed his inclination.

Among the civil officials, Li Fuzhi and Xie Qian did not participate in the debate, and always maintained the demeanor of the prime minister.

On the side of military general Xungui, Feng Shenji, the No.1 general of the current dynasty, did not come to participate in the discussion because of a serious illness last year, and he has been bedridden for a long time until now.

British Duke Fu Maoxiu looked like an old god, and he also didn't intend to speak.

As for Fu Jinchuan's grandfather, Yang Jixun, the assistant state prince, and Tang Xianzong, Xin Guogong, who is also an honorable veteran, are the most important flag-waving voices among the generals.

Emperor Daojun can naturally understand what these people's current disputes are about.It is nothing more than a struggle for power between civil and military forces.

Looking at the crowd off the court, he was also a little upset and irritable. He glanced at the crowd and asked, "What do you think the British public thinks?"

When Fu Maoxiu heard the question, he said: "I think that we can set up Jiannan Jiedu first to manage the war in central Shu, and when the situation is stable, we can divide it into two, so as not to cause chaos if someone takes advantage of the terrain in Sichuan and Shu."

These words made the Emperor Daojun's eyes light up.It's a good idea.

Although he didn't express his position clearly, many people in the hall could see that His Majesty had actually accepted this proposal in his heart.

After the discussion, civil and military officials came out of Daming Palace in twos and threes.

Fu Guogong and Xin Guogong walked in the front, and Fu Jinchuan was half a body behind to talk with Grandpa.

After a distance of more than ten steps, Fu Maoxiu, Li Fuzhi and Xie Qian walked side by side.

"The situation in Jiannan Road is not optimistic. The British may go to Sichuan."

After Fu Maoxiu heard Li Fuzhi's words, he shook his head, "Li Xianggao looked at me. Although I know how to use soldiers, I am not good at using them. Now Jiannan Road needs a famous general to sit in charge. If I go to Jiannan Road, I am afraid that I will miss the state affairs. "

"How about your son?"

Fu Maoxiu said with a smile: "If you talk about using troops, it is natural that the blue is better than the blue."

Li Fuzhi and Xie Qian both smiled when they heard the words.It is a bit frank that a military official like Fu Maoxiu readily admits that he is a "famous general" and "not good at using soldiers".

And this metaphor of green out of blue is also extremely appropriate.

"I heard that Duke Ding is not doing well recently?" Xie Qian asked on the other side.

Fu Maoxiu, who is also from the Wu Xun family and well-informed, sighed: "It may be just a few days away."

Xie Qian and Li Fuzhi were a little sad when they heard the words.

Although civil and martial arts have different paths, the two prime ministers still feel a little bit sorry for Ding Guogong who is about to end his life.

Before he went to Hedong, Duke Dingguo had always been the commander of the capital in front of the palace, the head of the palace commander, and the No.1 general recognized by the Jin Dynasty.

As a representative figure of Wu Xun generals, it is naturally impossible for prime ministers who represent civil servants such as Li Fuzhi and Xie Qian not to interfere with each other.

Although they won't quarrel openly if they hold their own status in the court, but private disputes are absolutely indispensable.Each represents the two major groups of civilians and generals in the DPRK and China.What they compete with each other is not small profits such as money and land, but power and position, which is the advancement of many families behind them.

So they didn't have any complaints about Feng Shenji, the current leader of martial arts, they just had different positions and had to be helpless.
