Chapter 1842 Achievement of the imperial industry, on the eve of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty (1
Continue north and enter the land of Saibei, contact the Mengwu tribe and the Wei tribe to test the minds of the leaders of each tribe. The reason why Xiao Tang summoned Xiao Jiasui, Ma Kuo, Hua Rong, Hu Yanqing, Duan Jingzhu and other leaders to discuss the matter in advance is because this
He will not personally lead the army in the next war, but plans to appoint Xiao Jiasui as the military governor in charge of all the troops and horses, Hua Rong will lead several groups of troops as the Zhengyin vanguard, and Ma Kuo, Hu Yanqing, and Duan Jingzhu will be in charge of all the affairs with the desert ministries.
Leaders come and go to negotiate matters. After all, as a powerful monarch in a separatist regime, he personally takes part in every war as a general and conquers north and south.
What's more, the current situation has developed to this stage, and it is ultimately impossible to control the various territories as the monarch of the local separatist armed group. Since most of the Yanyun land has been included in the territory of our own forces, the previous concerns
After forming some groups in the political system and the shortage of some capable ministers, it is basically certain that the problem can be solved. It is also time to put some major issues on the table and make decisions.
Xiao Jiasui, Ma Kuo, Hua Rong, etc. were entrusted with important tasks by Xiao Tang. They also began to mobilize elite military brigades from various ministries, collect military supplies for armored battles, and prepare food, fodder, and soldiers' pay. They were also waiting for another group of troops to come to join the northward march.
. Yang Zaixing, who had previously served as a partial general in the Tianbo Army to practice marching strategies and had made many meritorious deeds through wars, after the army's commander-in-chief Yang Zhi followed the orders of Xiao Tangjun and joined Han Shizhong in Kansai, he selected elite officers and trained them into the army.
It is also time to teach him to take charge of his own affairs, to serve as the leader of the troops marching north and south, and to achieve other extraordinary feats.
Since the war against Jin Dynasty, Xiao Tangsui has been thinking about the future stance and way out according to the current situation. This not only involves the future development direction of his own forces, but also the brothers who have gathered together for righteousness from the beginning are now gradually becoming the powerful forces in the military formation.
The core generals of the leadership team all know that their brother is not only incompatible with the Jin Kingdom. Even if his power has grown to this point, he will not be tolerated by the Song court after all. It is about time that the big things that follow the trend will come to an end.
.
But when Xiao Tang once again summoned all the important civil and military ministers gathered in Yanjing, the first person to jump out and pierce the window was Fang, who had been inspecting the Song Imperial Guards on Jingdong Road since then, and was already keenly aware of this incident.
Li Zhu, who was in charge of the meeting, straightened his clothes, then bowed and saluted: "Now as the lord, I don't have to be bound by the laws of the Song Dynasty. Our army and the Xia Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom
, Goryeo and even the desert Mongol and Wei tribes came and went with each other, fought against each other, and used swords and weapons. They had long been in their own way in terms of diplomatic relations and national wars. What's more, the Song Dynasty was no longer willing to sit back and watch his brother do anything in the name of vassal commander.
Da, first of all, that fellow is the one who attacked us first, and there is no deep friendship between us as monarchs and ministers. Let alone rebellion, what if we become emperor and establish an institution?
As for the so-called justice, Emperor Yu Bing of the Song Dynasty was nothing more than a mediocre person with no morals in governing the country. However, what the Lord had previously considered was to obey the will of the people and win the hearts of the people; and secondly, he did not want to take advantage of the weak power of the Song Dynasty to change the situation
To cause chaos in the Central Plains, we have to teach the Jin captives to benefit and live in infamy throughout the ages. Otherwise, if we had killed or captured them, we could have wiped out all the Song Dynasty clans. Thirdly, although the Lord has many soldiers and horses, and there are many advisers and good generals, his foundation is not stable.
, there is still a lack of good governance officials who can make the people prosperous, have a sufficient treasury to maintain national strength, and have money, food and military resources that can withstand national wars. But now the time is ripe. In the eyes of the people in the world, who thinks that the Lord is the master of the Song Dynasty?
Only with support can we determine the troubles caused by the captives in the Central Plains? From what I can see, even if you openly proclaim yourself emperor and are at odds with the Song and Jin Dynasties, the two countries, North and South, are still proud enough to stand proudly in the world!"
The more Li Zhu spoke, his tone couldn't help but become a little more excited. At this time, his eyes, which were quite deep in the city, also showed a touch of fanatical joy. When the many leaders present heard Li Zhu clarifying his words, most of them also had expressions on their faces. becomes complicated.
However, after all, Li Zhu was a rebel fanatic who wanted to build a career on his own ability in troubled times and wanted to fight the Song Dynasty to the end. As for the group of generals who surrendered and loyal to his command, Xiao Tang mostly did not worry about whether they would They still have some repulsive thoughts about leaving the Song Dynasty and becoming independent. Among the generals who led the army, there were some who wished that their brother could establish a country and become emperor as soon as possible, and there were also hard-working generals who were originally good generals of the Song Dynasty, but later became incompatible with the Song Dynasty. After comparison, he was still willing to be used by Xiao Tang, and he subconsciously accepted his current identity.
Everyone with a discerning eye knows that Xiao Tang and Song Ting will never live in harmony forever, and those who have already noticed it, such as Liu Fa chose to retire and collect mountains, and Zong Ze chose to cooperate with Xiao Tang as much as possible to fight against the Jin Dynasty, but in private he did his best In order for the imperial court to curb its momentum of expansion, Yue Fei chose to resolutely lead his troops to break away from Xiao Tang... In other words, among the factions of military generals under his command, as well as the generals who had cooperated with each other in the past, they were unwilling to break away from the Song Dynasty. , has already expressed his attitude. Therefore, all the generals who have been following Xiao Tang until now can accept that one day their brother will become emperor and stand on his own feet, and most of them just think that this day comes a little late.
As for the attitude of the civil service system, Han Qixian, Liu Yanzong, Guo Qizhong and others are still working hard to recruit their fellow Han officials in Liao to surrender to Xiao and Tang in large numbers. They have no affection for the Song Dynasty, and most of them even hate the Song Dynasty. country, and began to consider the politics, diplomacy, people's livelihood, economy and other aspects of an emerging empire, the shortage of political talents was immediately solved to the greatest extent. Xiao Tang only needed to consider how to balance this faction in the political system. The power they hold is supported by this group, and with the appearance of a new empire, it is politically sufficient to compete with the government. Although there are many bureaucracies in the court, there are still many maladministrations, and there are still constant troubles in the court. The Song Dynasty contended.
What's more, for Han Qixian, Liu Yanzong and others who were very skilled in assisting the emperor in governing the country, they had already experienced the decline of the two empires they served in their lifetimes, but at this time they still had the opportunity to stand on the right team, which could be said to be on the last boat to assist. Xiao Tang proclaimed himself the emperor and founded the country. This was the merit of Conglong. How could it be more than just being able to preserve the achievements accumulated in this life?
Therefore, in the Yanjing Palace Residence, Wu Du, the important civil and military officials attending this meeting, all turned their heads in unison, and when they looked towards Xiao Tang, almost everyone present had a look of expectation in their eyes. Among them, only one of them lowered his head because he was afraid that others would see the unwilling look on his face, and a look of cruelty also flashed from his eyes.
Although he already knew the thoughts and wishes of almost all the leaders under his command and was waiting for him to make the final decision, Xiao Tang's expression was deep and thoughtful. It was not that he was deliberately putting on airs or putting on airs. For such important events, all dynasties have done so. Whether they are the heroes who immediately conquered the world or usurped the throne by launching a coup, which one of them did not officially decide to establish the throne after three referrals before being recommended by his subordinates? Since ancient times, most of the kings in every dynasty The founding ministers made three attempts to persuade people to advance, and the monarch gave in twice and then pretended to be reluctant to agree. Let alone later generations, in the Song Dynasty, discerning people now know that this is already a routine of proclaiming an emperor and establishing a country, and sticking to the rules before the founding of the Yuan Dynasty.
However, the so-called Nine-Five Supreme Emperor, the emperor's wrath, millions of corpses, and bloodshed for thousands of miles... Although Xiao Tang couldn't help but feel deeply moved, he was still thinking about it. Whether to proclaim oneself emperor or not is actually just a matter of status, but it is precisely because of this status that it will inevitably involve too many important decisions. After all, it involves important matters of rise and fall, and now it has reached this point. , is it really the best time to proclaim himself an emperor and establish a political system?
While Xiao Tang was thinking in his mind, he raised his eyes and looked towards the left side of the festival hall, and landed on Xu Guanzhong, who had been serving as his confidant and think tank, and who seemed to be thoughtful at this time. .
