Liu Chan's words are shocking to the world. Is it the right prime minister who leads an army alone, or is it Qin Hui from the peace faction? It is unheard of, and it is unthinkable. Even in other dynasties, this is unbelievable.
matter.
But Liu Chan was quite used to it. Dong Zhuo was also the prime minister at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Of course he was a treacherous minister, needless to say. There is also Zhuge Liang, and Liu Chan is no stranger to this.
When all the ministers heard that Liu Chan asked Qin Hui to lead the army, they all opened their mouths. That was Qin Hui. Even the forces of the Lord He Sect knew what Qin Hui was like, but now he actually asked Qin Hui to lead the army. This was something that everyone couldn't do.
accept.
This is as absurd as asking Xi Shi to assassinate Dong Zhuo or asking Diao Chan to attack the Huns. Zhao Ding and Han Shizhong were simply stunned and couldn't believe it at all. Zhao Ding even called Qin Hui a coquettish bitch in his heart.
"Your Majesty, you must not do it. How can a major military matter be so random?" Han Shizhong hurriedly came out. If Yue Fei knew that the rebel army had actually returned to Qin Hui's control, then Yue Fei would have the intention to kill him. The Northern Expedition was not easy.
The results we have achieved so far must not be wasted.
Qin Hui is unhappy. Who is he looking down on? Who is he looking down on? He doesn't know whether he can lead the army, so there is no need for you to object.
Liu Chan was also amused when he saw Han Shizhong's anxious look: "General Han, don't worry, Prime Minister Qin, I won't let you go to war. I know that you are not good at leading troops, so I only gave you the right to command troops to control the rebels."
Internal problems. You don't need to lead troops to fight. It's not like we in the Song Dynasty really have no one. Even the prime minister is sent to the front line. Prime Minister Qin, you only need to sit in the middle of the capital and coordinate the cooperation between the rebel army and the other armies.
"
Qin Hui understood what Liu Chan meant at this time, which meant that the rebel army actually did not have a commander, only a staff officer. This staff officer was only a commander in name. In this case, the power of their faction was greatly increased. The rebel armies in various places
Qin Hui also had a rough idea of the number, which was probably not lower than that of any army in the Song Dynasty. If he trained a little more, he would have confidants in the army. This was much better than cooperating with generals, after all, he made the decision himself.
To be honest, Qin Hui's current position is closely related to Zhao Jun, the famous Northern Expedition general of the Song Dynasty. The two cooperated with each other, one provided political protection, and the other was responsible for military support, so the two were promoted very quickly in those years. However,
Later, there was a mutiny in Zhao Jun's army, so he was demoted and no longer employed. Qin Hui was already the right minister at the time, so he directly drew a clear line with Zhao Jun.
Liu Chan's words were not complicated, and many people could understand them immediately. The Lords and factions looked even more excited. Military power, these were things they had never dared to think about.
"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Qin Hui said hurriedly.
Zhao Ding's face turned ugly. Now that the right prime minister has military power, what should he do as the left prime minister? If so, Qin Hui will overwhelm him. Zhao Ding stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, there is no precedent for this matter.
It is unheard of for a prime minister to be in charge of a large army. I beg your majesty to take back this order. "This cannot be tolerated, absolutely cannot be tolerated."
Those leaders understood what Liu Chan meant, and their blood was boiling. They were about to go out and fight Zhao Ding for three hundred rounds. But they were stopped by Liu Chan. Liu Chan said with a smile: "Prime Minister Zhao, you are the first among the civil servants. Don't be like this."
Don’t be stubborn. Everything in this world has precedents to follow. In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures should be taken. I understand your meaning, but this matter will be left as it is for the time being. If there are any problems in the future, we will discuss it later."
Zhao Ding saw Liu Chan's resolute look. Although he was a little resentful of Qin Hui, he stopped talking. The power of the Lord Harmony Sect increased greatly, and they became more generous with the rewards Liu Chan gave to the Yue Family Army. Han Shizhong didn't want to hear about any official positions or rewards.
They were all a little dizzy. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the court began to become harmonious.
Qin Hui smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please give a name to the rebel army."
Liu Chan had already thought of the name of the rebel army, but he still pretended to think for a while before saying: "The border is a bitter cold land. The rebel army faced the Jin people without losing. They were brave and invincible. I specially gave them the name of the West."
Liang Jun."
Xiliang, the two words perfectly imply the situation of the rebel army. Even Han Shizhong thought this name was very good, both in terms of meaning and situation, it was much better than his Eight-Character Army. Han Shizhong was a little helpless, he really didn't meet
When the time came, I immediately became a little envious of the Xiliang Army.
When he retired from the court, Liu Chan stretched himself and felt that he had to deal with too many things this morning. It was more work than he had done in the Shu Kingdom for decades. Why is this?
Liu Chan suddenly felt a little confused. In his opinion, the current civil and military level of the Manchu Dynasty was much higher than that of his ministers in Shu, but why did he do more work?
It is normal for Liu Chan to have such thoughts. There is nothing wrong with the system of Shu, but the ministers are mediocre. No matter what they do, there will be no big problems. Therefore, Liu Chan can mess around as much as he wants and put the right people in the right place.
That's fine. But the current Song Dynasty has its own system problems, and the ministers are very capable of making trouble. If they don't suppress it a little, something may go wrong.
Take Zhao Ding, for example, if he is put in charge of power and does not care about anything, and just concentrates on the Northern Expedition, there may be problems with the people's livelihood in the country. If there is another rebellion, it will be funny. If Qin Hui is put in charge of power, there will be no problem in the country.
But believe it or not, he dared to kill all the generals who supported the Northern Expedition.
The current system of the Song Dynasty is not suitable for today's situation. It has reached the time when it needs reform and needs to add some vitality. It needs to give military commanders some freedom and stabilize people's livelihood. But how to balance these two aspects is a big problem.
If Liu Chan had not traveled through time, according to normal historical development, Qin Hui would have taken over the power and killed Yue Fei on unfounded charges, causing the situation of the Northern Expedition to plummet. However, Qin Hui's internal affairs were not bad, and there were no major problems in the country. But also because of the murder of Yue Fei.
This incident caused the overall national strength of the Song Dynasty to drop a lot.
When Liu Chan was distressed, Jin Wushu, who was far away in Bianliang, also looked troubled. News of Jin Wushu's defeat spread throughout the north, and uprisings in various places were like sparks, getting out of control. Often Jin Wushu
Before it had put down the uprising in one place, it received an uprising in another place. Therefore, during the few days when it fled to Bianliang, it had no rest at all and was quelling the rebellion every day.
"Fourth brother, how do you report such a big situation to your father?" The eighth prince Wanyan Zongqiang looked at Jin Wushu and said with an ugly expression.
"Stop it for now, wait until I finish reorganizing the troops in Bianliang, and then raise troops to take back those cities. This is just our carelessness. If we fight again, we will make Yue Fei look good." Jin Wushu said nonchalantly.
"But now everyone in the north knows the news of Fourth Brother's defeat. I'm afraid my father can't keep it a secret."
Jin Wushu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect this. How could the news spread so quickly? How could it be known to everyone? It's only been a few days. What Jin Wushu didn't expect is that now he is also a
He was a celebrity, and the defeat was a big news, so the news spread very fast. Jin Wushu thought it would be the same as before. After a big victory, it would take ten days and a half to reach the Kingdom of Jin.
"Hey, forget it, let me write a letter. You can help me forward it to my father and see what my father has ordered." Jin Wushu sighed helplessly. With this defeat, he might not be able to get the throne.
Yes. It’s true that good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
"Okay Fourth Brother." Wanyan Zongqiang has respected and been afraid of Jin Wushu since he was a child. Now that he saw Jin Wushu's tone, he immediately did not dare to tell him the news about Yue Fei.
However, Wanyan Zongqiang did not say anything. Instead, Jin Wushu asked: "How is Yue Fei doing now?"
"Yue Fei is currently in Shunchang to stabilize the hearts of the local people. The people were originally panic-stricken, but as soon as they heard that the general was Yue Fei, they quickly calmed down. Looking at Yue Fei's military strength, I am afraid he will attack Bianliang in the near future."
"That's fine. It just slaps the faces of the peace negotiators in the court. But Yue Fei has a great reputation in the north and is deeply popular among the people." Jin Wushu seemed to have thought of something and pondered for a moment: "I remember the Song Dynasty today.
The human emperor seems to be most afraid of rebellion by his generals. What do you think he would do if he heard that Yue Fei had such a reputation in the north?"
"I'm afraid we will immediately remove his military power and let him stay in Beijing to retire." Wanyan Zongqiang said with bright eyes.
"If so, it's not enough. If Yue Fei doesn't die, our Jin country will be uneasy for a day." After the war, Jin Wushu asked all the Jin soldiers who escaped with him about the details of the war, so he had no idea about Yue Fei.
I also have a certain understanding.
Although the Yue Family Army is nominally an army of the Song Dynasty, it is fundamentally better said to belong to Yue Fei. Moreover, Jin Wushu also admitted that this army is very capable of fighting, but Yue Fei's commanding ability probably accounts for a large part of it.
Partly. If the main general Yue Fei was removed, the combat effectiveness would probably plummet. Therefore, Jin Wushu was trying to get the Song Dynasty to execute Yue Fei.
"I'm afraid it's difficult. Although Yue Fei has a high prestige, there is no reason to execute him. Even the emperor would not dare to do this. Moreover, Yue Fei's reputation is very good. He is upright and treats people harmoniously. Even I sometimes
I have to admire his character."
"Send a message to Qin Hui and ask him to find a way to kill Yue Fei."
"Is there anything Qin Hui can do?"
Qin Hui is a traitor sent by the Jin State. This is not a secret among the upper echelons of the Jin State. But now that Qin Hui has a high position and has become a little indifferent to the Jin State. The Jin State has nothing to do about this and cannot do anything about it.
People in the world said that Qin Hui was sent by the Jin Kingdom. In this case, those spies sent to the Song Dynasty would probably betray him.
Jin Wushu smiled coldly: "I don't know either, but you should never underestimate the evil intentions of those civil servants. In addition, tell Qin Hui that as long as he helps me complete this matter, he will never have anything to do with the Kingdom of Jin again.
No relationship. I won’t tell anyone what happened in the past.”
