Chapter 453 Can Jin Yiwei be used?
Previously, Yang Reform didn't pay much attention to the "competition" between Mao Wenlong and Yuan Chonghuan. He was focused on considering whether these countermeasures were in line with his overall strategy. It is to dig out the salt merchants, which will definitely arouse a big backlash in the court, and the government will definitely fall into chaos for a period of time. At this critical juncture, Yang Reform does not want the little military power he has accumulated so hard to give to him. Donglu hit the head cleanly with a blow. At a critical moment, this little military power will play a big role.

When I was fighting fiercely with the ministers in the country, according to Huang Taiji's understanding of the customs, it was impossible to ignore it. In any case, from the perspective of history, or from the current situation, such as the climate, next year and Donglu will be the same. In a big battle, if Huang Taiji knew that he was fighting for life and death with the ministers, he would definitely come to meddle in it, and he would definitely not make it easier for him. He would definitely take the opportunity to damage his prestige and cause trouble for himself.

Now according to Yuan Chonghuan's idea, I am not afraid of Huang Taiji's siege. I just need to prepare in advance and strengthen my defense so that Huang Taiji can't give himself a "good start" as soon as the spring begins. Then, wait for myself to survive the most difficult period , I am no longer afraid of Huang Taiji, let him besiege the city, as long as I open up a second battlefield, next year's war can basically establish the situation.

Thinking of this, Yang Reform already has a comprehensive consideration. If brother Liu Xingzuo secretly communicated with him, it can be said that next year's war has a more than half chance of winning. Yang Reform has a smile on his face, look Sun Chengzong, Sun Chengzong also looked relieved. It seemed that he, like himself, had figured out the key.

"You two, there is no need to fight. There will definitely be a big battle next year. Are you afraid that there will be no battle? Haha, I am afraid that you will shrink back when the time comes..." Yang Reform said with a smile. It's easy, and I have a rough idea of ​​how to move the whole game.

"Your Majesty, why do you see it? There will definitely be a big war next year? If there is a big war, it would be best. I implore Your Majesty to allow me to go to the battlefield!" Zhao Ledjiao is the most depressed. This year is such a good "year". , He didn’t fight, he squatted at the entrance of Xifeng all day to watch out for Man Gui, he was so depressed that he wanted to find an opportunity to fight, and when he heard that the emperor swore that there would be a war, he immediately asked for details. Plus challenge.

"Isn't that simple? In the past few years, I have already said that not only is the drought in the north of my Ming Dynasty, but also outside the pass. The life of Donglu is even more difficult. This year, Donglu will delay me for Daming. It's been half a year, and next year will be another drought year. I'm afraid that the life of the Eastern Captives will be impossible, and they will definitely come out to grab things. We Da Ming surround him, if he doesn't fight us Da Ming, who will he fight with?" Yang Reform smiled.

When the emperor said this, all the doubts in Zhao Lijiao's heart were solved. It seems that, as the emperor said, next year will be a year of great war. This year, the emperor accurately predicted the natural disaster in Shaanxi. Then the emperor predicted I am afraid that the drought outside the pass in the past few years will probably come true, that is to say, the Eastern Prisoners will definitely not shrink their heads, and will definitely come out to fight.Then he will have no shortage of battles.

"...Your Majesty, you must go to the battlefield!" Zhao Lijiao begged.

Yang Reform was puzzled, what's going on!In just a few months, Zhao Ledjiao has become so "resentful"?

"Don't worry, I won't forget Xilong." Yang Reform had to comfort, this feeling is really strange.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Zhao led the teacher to thank him immediately.

"About next year's war, I will first arrange these points. First: Immediately strengthen the defense of the frontier city, supplement as much ammunition and food as possible, as much as possible, at least replenish what can last for half a year, some at the frontier Weizi, withdraw immediately, and beware of Donglu's surprise attack in the spring; second: after the spring of Dongjiang Town, regardless of whether Donglu will make any moves, we must spread out the elite and continue to implement this year's entanglement strategy; third: organize Open up a second battlefield at the mouth of the Sancha River to force the Eastern Captives to withdraw from the siege. As for who will go, we will talk about it at that time. Co-army, strangling those Mongolian tribes who have two hearts, and completely clean up the door of the house..." Yang Reform thought for a while, and then said these four points. As for the candidates for the second battlefield, Yang Reform hoped that Qin Liangyu's white The white soldiers are sent up, and now the white soldiers are already familiar with firearms combat. With the good training of the white soldiers before, and the practice of throwing money at live ammunition like sprinkling water, I believe that they will be able to master firearms soon. In a month's time, these spearmen became familiar with firearm warfare, and with powerful weapons, Yang Reform believed that they would definitely surprise Donglu.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to defend the mouth of Sancha River..." Yuan Chonghuan really wanted to fight for the leadership of the second battlefield of Sancha River. This idea can be thought of by him, and he can count on this battle to turn his back.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to use a fleet to raid the Eastern Captives from the mouth of the Sancha River..." Mao Wenlong had now tasted the sweetness of the battleship raiding the Eastern Captives. With experience, he would also fight for this matter.

Yang Reform looked at the "competition" between the two, and said with a smile: "I can understand the feelings of the two of you, but you seem to have forgotten one person."

"May I ask Your Majesty, who is this person?" Yuan Chonghuan asked hastily.

"Among the few of you, all of you have assigned tasks, but only one of you has not been assigned. You all have battles to fight, so you have to save some for others..." Faced with this, Yang Reform must compete. The two had no choice but to carry Qin Liangyu out as a shield. This was too enthusiastic, and sometimes it was troublesome.

Only then did they notice that there was also a female general who came together today, but she remained silent today. It turned out that the emperor intended Qin Liangyu to open up this second battlefield.

Qin Liangyu didn't talk much today, she just stood aside elegantly, listening to the emperor and several generals discussing the war there, seeing everyone talking logically, nodding from time to time to show support, seeing the emperor talking about herself, everyone looked at her, and then A little embarrassed, said: "Your Majesty looks highly, I will do my best to fulfill your majesty's explanation." Qin Liangyu is also preoccupied with revenge. Now that the white soldiers are equipped with firearms, the team has expanded a lot. Now, she is more confident After a fight with Dong Lu, if she had the opportunity to go to the battlefield, she would naturally not let it go.

Both Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong were speechless for a while, and they didn't speak for a few times. The emperor gave the opportunity to Qin Liangyu. A generous female general can't open that mouth.

Yang Reform looked at this miraculous scene, and played a few haha, even if the matter was prevaricated, to be honest, if Yang Reform is really assured that he can withstand the attack of the Eastern Captives in the field, he really counts on the white soldiers As for Mao Wenlong, Yang Reform defined him as a guerrilla. Yuan Chonghuan can be restrained and fight against the wind. Man Gui and Zhao led the teachings, but they can serve as flanks for the white soldiers. Yang Reform was the first to think of Qin Liangyu's white-armed soldiers. It seems impossible to build a city at the mouth of the Sancha River. The most is to build some fortifications, such as trenches, horses, and earthen walls. Yes, Yang Reform felt that if the white-armed soldiers trained for a few more months, they could rely on the battleship with their backs, and with the help of fortifications, fight Donglu.

"For next year's war, generally speaking, the word "entanglement" will still be implemented, no decisive battles with Donglu, avoid field battles with Donglu, and constantly consume Donglu. I will still say what I said this year. I don't care about the city, I don't care about killing the enemy, I don't care about losing ground. I don’t care about the battle, I don’t care about retreating, etc., as long as Donglu is firmly stuck and he is not allowed to go back to production, I will win this battle, do you understand?” After talking about the strategic situation, Yang Reform began to publish his own Strategic views and promises allow these generals to fight freely, so as not to be fettered by unrealistic demands.

"The minister leads the decree!" Everyone replied in a "joyful" voice. In the world, there is really no lower requirement than this emperor. You don't ask for anything, as long as you deal with the enemy and don't let the enemy idle. Enough, this kind of battle is really cool, if you still lose this kind of battle, it can only show that you are useless.

"I would also like to add that next year's war may be even more dangerous. Once spring begins, the Eastern Captives may make violent moves. You must be prepared, be vigilant, and never slack off... I will rely on you as the Great Wall ..." Yang Reformed.

"The minister leads the decree!" The crowd agreed again.

"In addition, we must guard against spies and prevent the fortress from being breached from within..." Yang Reform added casually.

Several people were taken aback when they heard it, guarding against spies?Perhaps the emperor was afraid that someone would raise fire in the city to respond. There was a precedent for fighting against the Donglu. Several generals fell into deep thought, but Qin Liangyu looked at the emperor differently. Could it be that the emperor is going to fight against spies?Thinking of his family feud, Qin Liangyu couldn't help but clenched his hands tightly.

After talking for a while, the main purpose of today is almost the same.The crowd dispersed.

"The commander-in-chief stays here, I still have something to do..." Yang Reform said again.

Mao Wenlong responded, bowed and stood waiting for the emperor to ask questions.

"Mao Shuai knows, why did I keep Mao Shuai?" Yang Reformed.

"Return to Your Majesty, I don't know..." Mao Wenlong said.

"Ah..., this matter..., I know that Mao Shuai has made a lot of contributions this time, and the rewards he gave are indeed less, but I hope Mao Shuai can understand my difficulties, and don't be disgusted. It must be the Marquis Day, I hope the commander will continue to work hard, don't be discouraged..., a little grievance, I know that Mao Shuai will not take it to heart..." Yang Reform felt that it was necessary to appease Mao Wenlong about the reward, and sent the prince It is indeed a bit of prevarication for the Taibao to become the Prince Taifu.

"...Return to Your Majesty, I have no complaints, I will definitely listen to Your Majesty." Mao Wenlong was indeed somewhat dissatisfied with the contribution of this Zhenjiang Fort victory, but he also knew that his position as an official had reached its peak. If you want to give him the title of "Emperor Teacher", he knows that the imperial court will definitely not give it to the dead. If he dies in the future, he may get one. Now that he is alive, He doesn't want that yet. As for the conferment, it's a little bit reluctant. In addition, there are not one or two people who dislike him in the middle of the court. Therefore, the reward this time is like this, and he expected it In the middle, although he was a little bit unconvinced, there was nothing he could do. Seeing the emperor's kind words of comfort, the resentment in his heart had almost disappeared. He had to trust his Mingjun so much, and he was worthy of his life. If this situation continues, he Mao Wenlong will seal Hou, it may not be impossible.

"That's good, I don't have anything good to give to Shuai Mao, here are a few things, I hope Shuai Mao won't dislike it..., companion, reward..." Yang Reform said a few polite words, and began to offer rewards.

"Your Majesty has a decree to reward... the crown prince...Mao Wenlong..., an imperial telescope, an imperial pistol, an imperial sword, two thousand silver coins, and a hundred pieces of brocade..." Wang Chengen immediately sang .

Mao Wenlong had already knelt down to accept the imperial decree and thanked him immediately.

……

After everyone left, Yang Reform was relieved. There was already a basic framework for next year's war, and it would not be possible to get out of this framework. With the foundation, it would be easy to handle.Just like Sun Chengzong looked at each other, Sun Chengzong also looked relieved.

"Your Majesty, now, with these strategies, plus Liu Xingzuo's place, we will no longer be afraid of Donglu's surprise attack after the spring of next year..." Sun Chengzong said with a pun.The meaning here, in addition to the surprise attack of the Donglu, refers to the domestic turmoil. If the threat from the Donglu cannot be handled well, the internal people dare not act rashly.

"Well, so, I have everything ready. This matter should be started as soon as possible. If it is too late, there will always be accidents..." Yang Reform also said with a pun. This matter, basically, It's all set up.

"...Then, Master Sun, I will trouble Master Sun for allocating supplies to the Jinning frontier. In addition, removing the fence at the frontier will also trouble Master Sun..." Yang Reform said again.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm already preparing for this matter, and I'll just wait for your Majesty's order. The supplies will definitely be in place during the Chinese New Year..." Sun Chengzong agreed in response, and Sun Chengzong had already done the supplementary grenades, Flang machine, grain and grass. The plan, just wait for the emperor's order, and then set off.

……

The next day.

Yang Reform is sitting seriously in the warm cabinet, carefully looking at these "documents" of his own.This is the list of Shanxi merchants who will be arrested soon.

"Your Majesty, they have all arrived..." Wang Chengen knew what day it was, and he was quite serious.

"Well, okay, clean up the surroundings of this house, and keep people away. Let's summon them, and you, my companion, will be with you..." Yang Reform said seriously, this contest finally started face to face.

"Obey!" Wang Chengen agreed and went out.

There was a burst of yelling outside, and it soon fell silent. Yang Reform put his hands behind his back, looked up at the roof, and stood upright.

"Your Majesty, Fang Hongzan, greets His Majesty." Fang Hongzan saluted cautiously.

"Slave Cao Huachun kowtows to Your Majesty!" Cao Huachun saluted cautiously. Today's atmosphere is exceptionally different. There are no eunuchs and maids serving outside the Qianqing Palace. In this Nuan Pavilion, the emperor is so solemn, with a stern look on his face. atmosphere.

Yang Reform turned his head, but did not tell them to stand up, and said, "What does Jin Yiwei do?"

Fang Hongzan was most afraid of seeing the emperor. Although he was the leader of Jinyiwei who was afraid of everyone outside, he was also most afraid of the emperor. The fear came from the bottom of his heart and the source of his power.

"Return to Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei is His Majesty's personal army. He directly controls the guards, inspects and arrests them, and takes His Majesty's will as his will." Fang Hongzan replied immediately.

"Fang Hongchan, can I trust you?" Yang Reform said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, please trust me. No matter when, where, or what you do, you are worthy of your Majesty's trust." Fang Hongzan didn't know how to respond. It seemed that something really happened. I had never seen the emperor speak so harshly. Jin Yiwei was not treated so harshly even when the Wei case was investigated before.

"Cao Huachun, what about you? Can I trust you?" Yang Reform asked again.

"Back to Your Majesty, your servant is His Majesty's man, and your Majesty's ghost when he dies. If His Majesty asks your servant to kill anyone, this servant will kill the water. This servant will always be a knife in your Majesty's hand..." Cao Huachun also saw that today's Possession, I am afraid it is unusual, but also changed the more gentle tone in the past, and expressed his loyalty to the emperor with bloody words.

"Okay! In this world, there are not many people I can trust. I hope you two are one of the people I trust... Get up." Yang Reformed.

Only then did the two stand up, looking at the emperor with a trace of fear.

"There are a few things here, you two should take a look first..." Yang Reformed.

The two of them took the copybook that Wang Chengen handed over and flipped through it.As soon as you read the title, you know how big this is. "Shanxi Shanxi Merchants' List of Rebellion and Traitorship".

The more they watched, the more frightened they became!On this list, the traitors' names, families, and what they did were recorded in detail.

"Your Majesty, I have committed a capital crime. I have not heard anything about such a big matter. It is my negligence. Please punish me..." Fang Hongzhan looked at the beginning, sweating on his forehead in the midst of winter, knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty. , Such a big matter, he didn't report it in advance, the emperor is so serious, it must be because of reliable news, Fang Hongzan thought that the emperor was looking for trouble for himself.

"Your Majesty, this servant is guilty. If this matter cannot be detected, this servant deserves to die..." Cao Huachun also knelt down immediately. He didn't report any news about such a big matter. This is obviously dereliction of duty. , But Shanxi merchants and captives!The main function of his military intelligence bureau is to detect news from the north.

"I don't blame your negligence for this news. I also accidentally learned that its source is beyond what you can imagine. Don't worry about it, and I won't blame you. I just want to know, can Jin Yiwei be used now?" Yang Reformed said sternly.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei is His Majesty's eagle dog. Whoever dares to harm His Majesty, I will go up and bite him to pieces. Your Majesty, please give me an order. I will go and arrest these people. I must let them know the consequences of treason... "Fang Hongzan immediately replied with a vicious look. At such a critical moment, Fang Hongzan knew what he should do and how he should do it without any hesitation, and he was quite clear about his position.

"Your Majesty, these people are really hateful and deserve to die. If the slaves catch them, they will definitely let them know what life is better than death..." Cao Huachun said murderously.
