Seven hundred and fortieth IX settlement of grievances
Beijing.
The court meeting had just ended, and the faces of the courtiers were all sad. Before the war in the northwest had stabilized, another incident occurred in northern Xinjiang.
King Jian's party conspired to rebel. Li Xu from the Criminal Department turned out to be King Jian's party, and he was probably King Jian's heir. Nuergan's tribes fought, the Yu family and Li Xu rebelled, and the Tatars took the opportunity to attack the guard station.
It was a troubled time. The imperial court wanted to dispatch troops and generals to northern Xinjiang, but neither the Ministry of Civil Affairs nor the Ministry of War had suitable candidates to go. Marquis Anyi took the initiative to ask for help, but the emperor did not agree.
"What if the Tatars really attack us?"
"Those rebels must not join forces with the Tatars. It would be really bad if they did."
"How long has passed since King Jian's incident happened? Thanks to King Jian's death, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
When this incident is mentioned, everyone has lingering fears.
Hong Chuanting sighed: "The son, daughter, and son-in-law of Marquis Anyi are all in Northern Xinjiang. The humerus of the country is really admirable. It's a pity..."
Everyone knows what Hong Chuanting means by saying "It's a pity", but no one dares to pick up the second half of Hong Chuanting's sentence.
Hong Chuanting looked at the officials who gathered to discuss countermeasures. It was a pity that the late emperor trapped An Yihou in the capital. The court gradually abandoned the Liaodong Dusi. The Liaodong Dusi had not seen its commander for a long time. There was only a Ma Dudu who gave memorials every year like snowflakes.
Enter the palace.
The imperial court was unwilling to spend more money on a harsh and cold place like Nuergan, so Governor Ma's memorial never received a response.
Every time Nuergan was mentioned in the Ministry of War, everyone said that without Nuergan, there would be no barrier with the Tatars, and the northern tribes would not be able to be controlled, which would probably become the greatest worry for the Zhou Dynasty.
But there were too many words, and as time went by no one cared. This time the beacon tower was really lit. After Li Xu raised troops in Yongping Mansion, refugees suddenly poured into Kaiping Guards. If this continues, even if
After winning this war, if we do not manage it well, the national power of the Zhou Dynasty will inevitably decline.
Obviously, the emperor could only deal with the things in front of him and had no energy to think about anything else. As for the man from Cining Palace, he looked like he was watching a show, waiting for the opportunity for the Zhang family to make a comeback.
Hong Chuanting shook his head, King Jian really saw the Queen Mother and the Emperor clearly.
"Master Hong," Prince Shunyang stepped forward, "Have you heard about it?"
Hong Chuanting frowned, what had he heard? Think about a painting posted in front of Prince Cheng's Mansion a while ago, in which a man had a head full of ears, which fit very well with the appearance of Prince Shunyang at this moment.
"What?" Hong Chuanting asked seriously with a straight face.
Prince Shunyang said: "It is said that the reason why the imperial court delayed sending troops was because it suspected that Song Chengxuan was the eldest son of King Wei? Is it true?
Lord Hong first met Song Chengxuan in the southeast, was he ever questioned by the court?"
"The county prince must not listen to those rumors," Hong Chuanting said. "At a time like this, if you are deceived again, it will undoubtedly make things worse."
Prince Shunyang looked sad: "Prince Wei was framed and killed by King Jian, and now he is still being used by King Jian's party. Don't say that this thing is impossible.
Even if the Prince of Wei is still alive, the imperial court will recall him to carefully review the case of Prince Wei, and will never draw unclear conclusions. Do you think what I say is reasonable?"
Hong Chuanting nodded. What Prince Shunyang said made sense. If the Crown Prince of Wei were still alive, the court would have dealt with it this way.
Hong Chuanting suddenly realized that he had been led astray by Prince Shunyang. What was important now was whether the war that Nuer was doing had anything to do with the King of Wei. Besides, the King of Wei and his family had suffered, so it was impossible for such a situation to happen.
The Prince of Shunyang County continued: "Master Song came to the capital to capture thieves. Master Hong clearly saw the hardships along the way. Now he is leading troops to quell the rebellion in Nu'er. His loyalty to Zhou Dynasty is a lesson. In such a situation,
At this time, we can no longer be slandered by people with bad intentions."
Before King Shunyang finished speaking, an official next to him said: "What General Song has done is obvious to all. I hope General Song can put an end to the Nuerqian rebellion as soon as possible."
After saying this, King Shunyang clasped his fists at the people around him and walked quickly towards the palace.
Hong Chuanting looked at the back of Prince Shunyang. He always felt that what Prince Shunyang just said was a bit strange.
"The King Jian Party is really using all possible means. They have been using King Wei's rebellion case for many years, and now they are still trying to disturb people's hearts."
"So what if the Crown Prince of Wei is still alive? There was something fishy about the case of King Wei back then, so maybe the title of King Wei will be restored."
"As long as the court ignores this, King Jian's people will be helpless."
Listening to these words, Hong Chuanting's heart trembled. The few words just spoken by Prince Shunyang had an effect. Was Prince Shunyang really just worried that Song Chengxuan would be framed? Or did he have other considerations?
Hong Chuanting frowned. He had no time to think about this now. Nu'er was engaged in a war, and he had to guard against the Tatars attacking the Xuanfu. It was becoming more and more difficult for him to be the Minister of War.
Prince Shunyang strode towards the Yangxin Hall. Some things had to be laid out slowly so that no one would be surprised when they happened. Everyone felt that it was not necessarily a bad thing for Prince Wei to be alive, so it would never change.
become a bad thing.
…
When Li Xu returned from patrolling the camp, he immediately ordered Zhang Hu and others to enter the Chinese army's tent to report the war.
"I'm afraid that the Yu family can't hold on for much longer. Mr. Yu and Mr. Yu didn't come to slaves. Mr. Yu has been seriously injured. All the soldiers and horses brought by the Yu family have long been killed and wounded. They all rely on our support.
With."
Zhang Hu paused after speaking: "Captain Ma and his men have occupied twelve guard posts. The scouts went to check carefully. Moats have been built in front of those guard posts, and some of them have even transported artillery."
Li Xu frowned slightly when he heard this.
Zhang Hu said: "I didn't expect that Governor Ma had dismantled all the ships of the Jinzhou Guard. I heard that Governor Ma was very precious about those ships and firearms."
Li Xu thought of Song Chengxuan. Song Chengxuan worked in the southeast and naturally knew the ships very well. He must have persuaded Governor Ma to take out all the money on the ship. It was because he had miscalculated before and did not think of this.
In the past, Governor Ma was afraid of the Japanese invaders and refused to use the Jinzhou Guard's troops, horses and supplies. But now it is different. The court knows that the slaves have started a war. When they go to the state government, the Weihai Guards will definitely gather troops and horses. The Japanese pirates dare to take the opportunity to cause trouble. Weihai
The guards will definitely send troops, so Governor Ma naturally does not need to think about this and can safely and boldly evacuate the entire Jinzhou Guard. I am afraid that Governor Ma has already started to do this before the Yu family sends troops.
Li Xu narrowed his eyes. Although there were not many guard posts occupied by Ma Du, they all had solid fortifications. In this way, he would not be able to capture those guard posts and enter the guard posts, so he would not be able to obtain military supplies.
Supplement, you will be trapped here for a long time.
"Where is Song Chengxuan's army?" Li Xu looked at Zhang Hu.
Zhang Hu said: "It's not far from us, but... we have a lot of troops, Song Chengxuan probably won't attack directly."
uncertain.
Li Xu looked at the map. He always felt that Song Chengxuan's attack was menacing, as if he wanted to settle his enmity with him.
