Li Mu's words did not answer Emperor Hong De's question.
He didn't say that Yandu was good or bad, he just stated the most realistic situation of Yandu.
Yandu is too close to the enemy.
It was too close, both to the Tatars and to Zhuli Zhenren outside Shanhaiguan.
The Datong Defense Line is almost 700 miles away from Yandu, and Shanhaiguan is only 600 miles away from Yandu.
At this distance, these foreign races are all proficient in riding and shooting. Once there is a problem with the border defense, it may only take a day or two for the army to arrive at Yandu City. Even if it is slower, it will take ten days and a half.
At this time, Yandu had no time to mobilize local troops for support.
And the fact that Li Mu could say this shows that after staying in Yandu for more than half a year, the Jin prince had a conservative attitude towards moving the capital to Yandu.
His Majesty the Emperor was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly: "I understand."
He looked at the people kneeling on both sides and said with a smile: "We have just arrived in Beizhili, and we don't know how far away from Yandu City. Why are you all here?"
What I'm saying is that you are a big leader. If these people don't come to the border of Beizhili, who knows whether they will be beaten into small shoes?
Zhang Jian and others probably muttered this in their hearts, but they looked respectful on their faces. Zhang Jian, the new chief envoy of Northern Zhili, stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have been ordered to take charge of Northern Zhili.
It’s your duty to come and greet him.”
The emperor waved to Zhang Jian and motioned for him to come forward. Zhang Jian lowered his head and walked up to the emperor.
Emperor Hong De rubbed his eyes, took out a single lens from his pocket, put it in front of his eyes, looked at Zhang Jian up and down a few times, and then sighed: "I remember that when Zhang Qing left Jiankang, he was still a
You are a young man in his prime, how old are you, and why do you already have gray hair?"
What His Majesty the Emperor is holding is a pair of myopia glasses.
Yes, he is already short-sighted, and the degree is not minor.
Mainly because I have been too diligent in these years.
After all, in this era where most of the light is natural, it would be impossible for Emperor Hongde to become myopic if he was lazy.
After staying up late for more than ten years, his eyes were red with candlelight, which made His Majesty the Emperor's vision somewhat blurry.
Fortunately, with Liulichang's current technology, it is completely possible to make myopia glasses. Even if the accuracy is not enough, it is enough for Emperor Hong De to see clearly.
Of course, Liulichang can only produce lenses, and the frames are made bit by bit by jewelry craftsmen, because Shen Yi has no time to take charge of these things, and he has not given guidance to Liulichang. So far, Liulichang can only do
This type of single-chip myopia glasses has not been made yet and can be hung on both ears and eyes.
Zhang Jian bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am nearly forty this year. Although I haven't done much credit in these years, I have done a lot of hard work."
He paused and sighed: "It's common to have gray hair."
"Well."
Emperor Hong De was a little surprised: "Is Zhang Qing forty?"
Zhang Jian lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am thirty-eight years old this year."
Emperor Hong De lowered his head and thought about it, feeling quite emotional: "Yes, yes, this year is Hong De's nineteenth year."
He looked Zhang Jian up and down, reached out and patted Zhang Jian on the shoulder, and said: "As the son of a prime minister, Zhang Qing is able to stay in the place and stay there for ten years. It is really rare."
"A son of Qilin has appeared in the old prime minister's country."
Zhang Jian bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, although I have been in the local area for the past ten years, I have been favored by Your Majesty and promoted at a speed that is very rare in the entire imperial court. I am already satisfied."
His Majesty the Emperor smiled and looked back at Shen Yi.
Lord Shen silently stepped forward, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Fantai has worked really hard these years, and his hard work and hard work are no worse than those of his ministers."
"good."
The emperor put his palms together and smiled and said: "I have made a note that Zhang Qing will work hard in Beizhili for a few more years. After two terms, I will definitely transfer you back to the imperial court."
Zhang Fantai bowed his head and said in a respectful voice: "Your Majesty, I have little ability. No matter where I am, even if I am a local magistrate or magistrate, as long as I can do something for the court and your Majesty, I will be happy to do so."
"Don't be so raw."
His Majesty the Emperor patted Zhang Jian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "We all grew up in Jiankang, Zhang Qing is just a few years older than me."
Having said this, the emperor turned to look at Ling Su and Su Ding. After greeting the two of them, His Majesty the Emperor wanted to say something, but seemed to feel that the occasion was not appropriate, so he shook his head and said: "This is not a place for talking. place, let’s set off.”
"At least, let's talk until we get to the city."
Everyone once again knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
His Majesty the Emperor's dragon carriage set off again. This time, Shen Yi did not ride with the Emperor, but sat in the carriage behind the Emperor.
When the team started to move, Ling Su and Su Ding, who had already paid homage to the emperor, followed Shen Yi's carriage on horseback.
However, the traffic in this era was too noisy, and it was impossible to talk while walking on the road. The group did not find a chance until the emperor and Shen Yi settled in the city.
When the emperor was walking at the door, General Ling and General Su looked at each other. Ling Su looked at the emperor and said, "General Su, your Majesty has not summoned you. Should we go see Duke Shen first?" Would you like Mr. Shen to talk to us?"
Su Ding turned to look at Ling Su, took a deep breath, and said, "General Ling, if you go to see Duke Shen first at this time, our friendship will end here."
After saying that, General Su lowered his hands and walked towards the emperor.
General Ling frowned at first, then lowered his head and thought for a while, and then suddenly understood the reason. He quickly rushed forward, pulled Su Ding's sleeves, and said: "My dear brother, please don't be angry. "
"Let's go to see the saint together."
General Su stopped, looked back at Ling Su, and sighed slightly in his heart.
Although Ling Su is the oldest general in the Huai'an Army and even the founder, there is already some gap between his personal abilities and those of the rising stars in the Huai'an Army.
In the past, everyone marched and fought in accordance with the instructions of Duke Shen. Duke Shen controlled the military atmosphere of the Huai'an army and designated general policies. Ling Su's mediocrity was not yet obvious. But now that the battle is over, some of Ling Su's shortcomings have been revealed. It was exposed.
When it comes to matters of strategy or wisdom, he is already inferior to even Xue Wei.
When it comes to leading troops, he is far worse than Xue Wei.
And the reason why he is in the position he is today and has come all the way to where he is today is actually because he got on Master Shen's express train.
To put it more bluntly, General Ling is actually a pig caught in the wind. Master Shen's strong wind blew the clouds up all the way.
It's not that Ling Su is stupid, but... in some aspects, compared with the rising stars of the Huai'an Army, he is still too mediocre.
But now, the strong wind has subsided a little, Ling Su is already in a high position, and many mediocre aspects have been slowly exposed.
Su Ding was silent for a while and whispered: "For a while, General... try to speak as little as possible."
Ling Su felt a little unconvinced, but he still forced a smile on his face.
"Don't worry, don't worry."
…………
The emperor was walking in the middle, and the two generals knelt in front of the emperor, bowing their heads respectfully.
His Majesty the Emperor drank tea and looked at the two people. He did not rush to let them stand up. After drinking the tea in the cup, a smile appeared on his face: "The success of the King's Northern Expedition is due to the two generals. Shen Qing is here." The two men are mentioned many times in the memorial."
"Stop kneeling."
His Majesty the Emperor looked at the eunuch next to him, smiled and said: "Give the two generals a seat."
The two stood up from the ground, bowed their heads to express gratitude, and then carefully sat down in front of the emperor.
The emperor put down the tea and asked with a smile: "Shen Qing's memorial said that there are still many Zhu Lizhen remnants near Yandu. Half a year has passed. How is the situation now?"
Su Ding lowered his head and clasped his fists, and said: "Your Majesty, eighty-nine out of ten of Zhu Lizhen's remnants are gone, and only one or two are left. Because the Huai'an Army prohibits disturbing the people too much, I can only peel off the cocoons little by little and slowly trace them."
The emperor nodded and said: "You really can't rush this matter, just take your time."
"What's going on in Yandu City?"
When he asked this question, before Su Ding could answer, Ling Su lowered his head and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty in Yandu City have been basically cleaned up, and your Majesty can enter the city with confidence."
As soon as Ling Su said these words, General Su was so anxious that he stood up. He quickly lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, Yandu City has been the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty for more than seventy years. The situation in the city is still complicated. The Huai'an Army and the Internal Guards The Di News Department is still cleaning up bit by bit..."
"When your Majesty enters the city, please ask the internal guards in detail. Don't slack off!"
"What the two generals said..."
Emperor Hong De glanced at the two people with a playful smile on his face.
