The imperial court also quickly learned about the situation in the three southwestern provinces, but there was nothing the imperial court could do. They had long known that General Long and the Zhenlu Army were having an affair. They had also sent several groups of special envoys, hoping to persuade General Long to change his mind, even if he refused to surrender.
The imperial court cannot join the Suppression Army. Isn't it good to be as independent as before?
It's a pity that no matter how many people they sent and what kind of promises they made, General Long didn't take their words seriously. General Long was also a man with a very long-term vision. The broken ship of the imperial court was filled with water everywhere. It would sink if it couldn't be kept intact.
After going down, on the other hand, the new ship of the Zhenlu Army has just been built, and its speed and defense capabilities are much better than the broken ship of the imperial court. As long as there is nothing wrong with our brains, of course we should know which ship to take.
Military Aircraft Department.
Prince Kang looked at the several military and aircraft ministers who were working, and reluctantly handed the memorial in his hand to the young eunuch next to him, and then asked them to circulate it to the surrounding military and aircraft ministers. This was sent by the imperial court's spies in the three southwestern provinces.
Yes, a few hours ago, a flag of the Suppression Army was raised in front of General Long's governor's office. This also meant that from now on, the three southwestern provinces were officially placed under the control of the Suppression Army.
"It is simply treacherous. They are carrying out government reforms privately without the consent of the imperial court. They really do not take us seriously."
"The Suppression Army was expanding rapidly in the south, and now they have taken over three provinces. What do they want to do? Do they want to rule the entire southern country?"
After several military ministers saw this report, they blew their beards and stared in anger, but apart from making harsh words here, what else could they do? Although the court still has a certain amount of power, the problem is to suppress the army.
I won't listen to you at all. I can mobilize troops from other provinces, but there is no way to relieve the capital.
Just one garrison in the capital has already stumped them. When the meeting of the king and ministers on political affairs started, the first decision they made was to get the capital out of trouble, at least to open contact with the outside world.
As for everything, it depends on the Zhenlu Army's face.
They discussed for two days and two nights, but in the end they did not come up with a useful solution. As long as the checkpoints of the suppressing army were not withdrawn, the capital city would be like a big cage. Both those who were sent out and those who came in must
You have to be inspected by the Suppression Army, and if he becomes unhappy one day, your contact with the outside world may be cut off.
"We simply don't approve their official documents, and the court will pretend they never knew about the Southwest Front Army. In this way, their army will be illegal, and the state treasury will not need to allocate a penny to them."
When a military minister saw that Prince Kang was silent, he thought that the little power they had in their hands was that the armies across the country must have official documents from the Ministry of War. If there were no official documents from the Ministry of War, they could only be said to be local armies.
Local troops have no way to go to other provinces.
Of course, this is a situation where the imperial court has control over the country. Now the imperial court has no control over the country at all. The suppressing army could not go to all parts of the country back then, but what can it do now? They not only have power all over the country.
The method you mentioned is useless. As for military expenditures, the military expenditures of the Suppression Army have always been sufficient. Did they ask the court for a dime?
"My lords, don't be angry. Now that this matter has happened, let's treat it with a normal mind. The three southwestern provinces themselves are not within the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Although the imperial court has sent some officials, General Long has no regard for them.
The situation is also very tight, so let’s let them come back now. We don’t want to use our strength in this regard, but let’s prepare for the arrival of the governors and governors in Beijing.”
Prince Kang smiled bitterly. Since receiving the letters from his two sons, he has also thought a lot about political matters. Although he is now the only assistant prince, Prince Kang does not feel happy at all. Instead, he feels that every day
He was so overwhelmed by the things that he couldn't breathe. Now he was a little envious of his old enemy, Prince Ding. That old man must have lived a good life at the beach, at least much better than his own.
The other military and aircraft ministers still wanted to express their opinions, but seeing that Prince Kang was already writing with his head down, I was afraid that no one would listen to him, so they simply stayed silent. Since yesterday, they have discovered that Prince Kang has no regard for political matters.
Things seem a bit discouraging. No matter what happens, Prince Kang will always say that he has a normal heart. If an assistant prince has a normal heart, it means that there is no dispute about anything.
The Emperor is half-dead now, and no orders have been passed down. No matter what decisions are made by the Military Aircraft Department and the Council of Ministers, there is nothing to say to the Emperor. Now everyone is working without any interest.
.
In fact, they have another worry now. After the governors and governors from all over the country come next month, if the emperor still has this attitude, then what will they do? If Prince Kang can take the lead, then it doesn't matter what the emperor's attitude is.
As long as a member of the royal family comes out as a leader, then this matter will be considered accomplished. But now that Prince Kang is of such a Buddhist nature, I am afraid he will not be the leader next month. Do we have to count on the prince coming back from the south?
Others don't know why the prince is staying in the south, but they know it very well, because the prince went from Fusang to Nandong Province and found countless women along the way, so his whole body could no longer support it. It is said that
What kind of disease did he contract? Several imperial doctors passed by from Jingcheng. Naturally, such a thing cannot be announced to the public, but it cannot be hidden from them, the military ministers. If the descendants of the Daqian Dynasty are like this, then it is still necessary.
Stick with it?
Thinking of this, the hands of these people working have slowed down. The emperor himself is not worried, and the prince is not worried. The prince has contracted such a disease. What do we people have to worry about?
So in this case, there were many people who were loyal to the court, but when they saw that no one at the top or bottom had any idea of doing anything, and many people were just fooling around, their mood gradually began to change.
He weakened until his ambition was gone. At that time, there was really no one in the huge court to do anything serious...
