Chapter 1980 After the recuperation, it is time to start the national war
Indeed, as Xiao Tang said, although Gongsun Sheng, Qiao Daoqing, Fan Rui, and Ma Ling went to Zixu Temple in Erxian Mountain in Jizhou to worship under the disciples of Luo Zhenren, the Qi Dynasty also needed Taoist sects to coordinate and manage Taoism and even
Various religious matters.
Therefore, Erxian Mountain Zixu Temple received the seal letter. Over the years, Jizhou was not far away from Damingfu and Yanjing, and Luo had many contacts and conversations with Xiao Tang who came here.
After the real person became a real person, Gongsun Sheng and Qiao Daoqing successively took over the affairs of the head priests. In addition to practicing Taoism in seclusion, they also opened altars and preached in Jizhou.
People who practice Taoism secretly can achieve what they want.
It was not until later that the official who had managed civil affairs in Shaanxi Province, but also had a Taoist heart, left home and abandoned the secular life to pursue a monastic life. He changed his name to Wang Hao and came to visit Gongsun Sheng, Qiao Daoqing, Fan Rui, Ma Ling and others.
, understood the Xuanxu Taoism, and then established a sect, and accepted seven direct disciples to go around to observe and educate people, and was even called the Taoist sect of the Taishang Xuanmen authentic sect, but this is a story for later...
Except for the land and water surprise attack on the coastal state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River planned by Li Junli, the Qi Dynasty rested and recuperated calmly. Although there were constant border conflicts with the Song Dynasty for nearly three years, most of the territory under its rule was peaceful. Of course,
Now is not the time for peaceful unification when horses are released from Nanshan and weapons and weapons are put into storage. Not only is the Song Dynasty deliberately trying to regain the lost territory, but Xiao Tang knows that he has already done enough in civil affairs, diplomacy, strategy and other aspects.
, in order to promote military warfare, the country's reserves can also cope with the upcoming national war.
As for the Song Dynasty, Zhang Jun was transferred internally due to the Xuanfu's handling of the Sichuan-Shaanxi border and improper recommendation of generals, which led to Li Qiong triggering the Huaixi military rebellion and causing the entire Jianghuai territory to be lost. He took the blame and asked to be dismissed, and was demoted to Yongzhou.
After retiring, the military power of the Song court's embargo forces in Sichuan and Shaanxi was also controlled by Wu Jie. However, the Qi Dynasty posed a strong military deterrent to the hinterland of the Song court from Hedong, Jingdong, Huainan and other directions. Liu Qi, who was the deputy privy capital at the time, also
They had to lead a group of troops and horses to the east to guard the Central Plains. On the border of Guanxi, Wu Jie and Wu Lin promoted some lieutenant generals in times of crisis and barely maintained the military system in the west of the Song Dynasty. Facing the Qi Dynasty's Shaanxi Province
It is conceivable that the pressure on the powerful Qi armies of various ministries under the command of Han Shizhong was great;
As for Zhang Jun, who was previously appointed as the Xuanfu envoy to the east of Zhejiang and Jiangdong by the Song Dynasty for annihilating Yang Jin, Wang Shan and other anti-military forces, and led the Jiedushi of Dingjiang and Zhaoqing towns, he also led his direct troops to shrink and move to the south.
, opened to the boundary of Wutou and Chuwei to guard against the enemy forces from the east, Qi Dynasty, Zhejiang, Fujian and other coastal roads to govern the prefectures. It is also very likely that they will advance by land and water, and invade in a large scale;
As for Liu Guangshi, who had been criticized for his appeasement by the imperial army and lack of ambition to recover, and was deposed from military power, he was actually used by the Song court again, and was granted the title of envoy to recruit and dispose of the three capitals, and he also mobilized a group of soldiers and horses to conceal the Song Dynasty.
This move was also intended to teach Liu Guangshi that he could play a certain role in appeasing the Huaixi Army's defection from the Qi Dynasty's old army because of his dismissal as the coach. However, it is exactly the same as the trajectory of official history. Liu Guangshi originally
The most relied-upon general under his command, Wang Yaksha and Wang De, who had not surrendered to the Qi Dynasty due to the Huaixi Army's rebellion, now returned to Zhang Jun's command, but he was unwilling to return to Liu Guangshi's tent to obey orders. This must be because of this.
When he followed the long-legged general, he fled here and there most of the time. He was so scared that he didn't want to fight any more useless battles. Therefore, Liu Guangshi now only commands nearly 10,000 troops and horses, plus he leads the troops in battles.
Deep-rooted habits are almost nothing to worry about;
As for the successive great victories, they seemed to have replaced the Western Army, which had long since fallen apart. Half of the army had rebelled against the Qi Dynasty, and the Wu brothers had to barely maintain the rest of the Western Army. They had become the most powerful Yue family army in the Song Dynasty... With Ping Zhong Prime Minister
For his merits, Yue Fei was promoted to the Shaobao Inspection School, and was granted the title of Founding Duke of Wuchang County. Later, he was promoted to Jinghu North Road and Xiangyangfu Road.
It is also very possible to invade the border between Henan and Jiangxi. The Yue family army is stationed in Hubei. It can also immediately mobilize troops and provide strong support to the Song army stationed in Gyeonggi and Jiangnan Road.
According to Yue Feijun's decree, the leaders and villagers who were either recruited or captured alive by the rebels in the extermination of Dongting Lake were not allowed to kill innocent people indiscriminately. All able-bodied men were recruited into the army. As for other old and weak family members,
Everyone was given rice and grain orders to return to their fields. After all, the local area had rebelled against thieves, and as a rule, more than 27,000 households who would have been implicated in the rebellion were spared, but they had to be resettled and returned to their jobs. In this way, they originally hated the Song Dynasty.
The rebels were grateful to Yue Fei, which made the Yue family army expand to more than 50,000 strong soldiers, and the total army establishment reached nearly 100,000 people. The military strength was so strong that the Qi Dynasty always wanted to use Jingdong Road and Liangzhe Road as its main base.
A large-scale attack on the Song Dynasty from strongholds must not be ignored, and the strong counterattack that the huge armed group under Yue Fei's command can cause must not be ignored.
Not long after the initial campaign to destroy Zhong Xiang, Yue Fei's mother Yao died of illness. Yue Fei, who was extremely grieved, reported to the court, dismissed himself, carried his mother's coffin to Lushan for burial, and begged to observe mourning for his mother for three years. At that time, the Qi Dynasty
It is also in a period of rest and recuperation, not to mention that the imperial court is in danger of national affairs and is seizing love.
During the war period, it was even more common for the military ministers of the imperial court who were guarding important areas to urge their reinstatement. Now Yue Fei has returned to Ezhou, took over Zhang Xian, regained control of the Yue family's army, and submitted the "Begging for Discipline" to the Song Dynasty.
, it seems that he has also strongly advised the officials to issue an imperial edict, ordering all Song armies to make arrangements, vowing to march to the north, attack the Qi Dynasty and regain the lost lands...
It's not just you who wants to do something big, I'm also about to do something big.
In the imperial study room of the Daming Mansion, Xiao Tang read the military memorial that was reported, and suddenly smiled coldly, and said leisurely: "That guy Qin Hui is good at catering to the emperor's wishes. In terms of power and tactics, he is not as good as the Song Dynasty in a political system like the Song Dynasty."
He wanted to find a traitor who could make a fortune. Taking advantage of Zhang Jun's resignation, the fellow fanned the flames and instigated him erratically. Zhao Huan, who was hesitant and changeable, also dismissed Zhao Ding, Prime Minister Zhao, who had also praised him as a virtuous prime minister.
He had close contact with the anxious courtiers in the Song court who Zhang Bangchang reported, and he also recruited a group of party members to listen to his orders and exclude the courtiers from discussing things that were not in line with the courtiers... Now he has held such an important position as a privy envoy, and he must have finally won
It is just around the corner to worship the prime minister and take over the power..."
Opposite Xiao Tang, Yan Qing was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh: "You really know people but don't know their hearts. Back then, when Qin Hui maintained the majesty of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, he dared to contradict his brother in person, deceiving others into thinking that he was loyal and upright.
My dear brother, my brother has a good sense of people and taught me to have more contact with him and see clearly the traitor. Although I know the details of this guy, it seems that I still underestimated him. Qin Hui is good at using power and has risen in power.
Soon, he formed cliques in the imperial court and temples for personal gain, excluding dissidents. If he was allowed to become more powerful, and given time... He would not necessarily lose to the authoritarian pampered father of the Song Dynasty who broke the law and ruined the country.
That old thief Cai Jing.
It's just that at the beginning, my brothers and I joined our brother in the cause of killing the treacherous power thieves who harmed the country and the people. Now, in terms of national affairs, these treacherous traitors are of great use to us. Although it is a matter of national power and war, we are not tired of deceit.
It’s hard to avoid having mixed feelings about the methods, and I always feel something is wrong in my heart.”
"At any rate, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others... are still loyal to Song Ting, but this Qin Hui..."
Xiao Tang said in a deep voice, and then said meaningfully: "According to the investigation, there was no sound from Bianliang in Tokyo. It was because Qin Hui often told Zhao Huan that although Yue Fei had made great achievements many times, the army he now controlled was so big that it was in vain.
The military war will inevitably make him unparalleled in the world, and his power will shock the emperor. In the past few days, the Song Dynasty had planned to raise a large number of troops, and the deployment of the Northern Expedition ended in vain. But now... I, the Qi Dynasty, are at odds with the Song Dynasty.
The situation cannot be maintained for a long time. Now that the Song Dynasty has begun to plan to raise troops again, we must take the first step to gain strength."
