Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 673
Fei Yanggu has a grim expression. To the peerless commander of the Western Qing Empire in front of him, Fei Yanggu always makes a false gesture of goodwill, showing the world that he values ​​feelings and loves talents.But in private, Fei Yanggu didn't really have any feelings for Cheng Lin. On the contrary, after Cheng Lin's rapid rise and became an indispensable titan of Xiqing, Fei Yanggu still had a lot of suspicions about him and worried about his meritorious deeds. Lord Gao Zhen.

As the emperor, Fei Yanggu was the opposite of Bai Mingxiu.Both of them know the taste of power. Bai Mingxiu comes from later generations, and he thinks about how to avoid his own mistakes and how to bear his own responsibilities. Worried that anyone would contaminate his power, he didn't trust ministers, he had no extra feelings, and he couldn't accept opinions, so in Fei Yanggu's ears, what he heard was what he thought.

Because after a long time, others will naturally choose what he likes to say.

And people who tell the truth but not nice words, such as Nengchen Wenhe and Cheng Lin, are not particularly satisfying to him.

On the contrary, Bai Mingxiu knew that there was a place where everyone was talented and spoke well. He didn't know whether Fei Yanggu would like to be there.

From Cheng Lin's point of view, this super Infernal Affairs is also somewhat peculiar.That is the analysis made by Cheng Lin, and the things he said are basically true.For example, when a large number of unconscious radicals thought that Ming was easy to lose, that Ming's army was cowardly and incompetent, and that it was impossible for Ming to take the initiative to fight, Cheng Lin pointed out mercilessly that Ming must go to Xiqing, and it was just a recent incident. .

Feiyanggu was naturally very embarrassed after hearing such words, because no one told him the truth.The entire knights of the Western Qing Empire are in a state of self-paralysis and self-deception - what if they don't do this? Are they waiting to die?
Fei Yanggu looked coldly at this general whom he disliked more and more now. Although he had flaws, Fei Yanggu knew very well that those who could speak out were the ones who needed to be reused, so he always used Wenhe, and now he also Reuse Chenglin.

"Do you think my Qing Dynasty will be defeated?"

Chenglin did not answer his question directly, but said: "If you seek to survive through war, you still have a chance, but if you seek to survive in vain, the country will perish."

Fei Yanggu was furious, and said: "I bravely covered the seven continents and the four seas in the Qing Dynasty, with 200 million soldiers, how could I be killed? Cheng Lin, you are scaremongering, what is your purpose?"

Cheng Lin got up and bowed down, but he didn't intend to change his words, but repeated what he said just now.

"There is still a chance to survive through war, and the country will perish if one seeks to survive in vain."

But he knew in his heart that he had lied again. For the Western Qing Empire, it could not survive by fighting. This is the reality of the world.

A meeting with the commander-in-chief of the Qing Dynasty ended unhappy.Soon afterwards, Cheng Lin was dismissed as the commander-in-chief of the Western Command of the Great Qing Expedition, but in order to avoid being too ugly, Fei Yanggu added Cheng Lin as the first-class Jiayong Duke and rewarded him with a lot of gold and silver.But the imperial court in the Western Qing Dynasty still sensed this huge change.

Throughout the war, Cheng Lin made great contributions. It can even be said that he alone accounted for more than half of the war so easily won.Both the government and the public believe that Cheng Lin is the real Zijin Liang of Xiqing, and Cheng Lin is as solid as gold in Xiqing.But now that Fei Yanggu suddenly dismissed Cheng Lin and did not appoint a new army commander, this made everyone in Xiqing dumbfounded and very worried.

A group of civil servants headed by Prime Minister Wen He presented Fei Yanggu with snow flakes, insisting on the disadvantages of changing generals, hoping that Fei Yanggu would not dismiss Lin Shuai, and some changes in the hearts of the army also occurred.

But the more this happened, the more insecure Fei Yanggu felt.

"...Is this person so quiet in the court that he has already accumulated such a great momentum? Sure enough, he has ambitions?"

It would have been fine if he didn't sue, but Fei Yanggu began to mutter after signing the letter.Prime Minister Wen He couldn't touch him, but Fei Yanggu directly dismissed more than a dozen officials who had pleaded with Chenglin. Several of the leaders even received imperial staffs, and some were even beaten to death.

Those people's hearts were fluctuating, and they even followed the army who wanted to comfort Lin Shuai. Fei Yanggu also replaced a wave of officers, and even planned to split it up.

At this time, other factions in the army took advantage of it, and wantonly placed personnel in Chenglin's army.Although the Western Qing army has undergone the reform of a new-style army, it still has many characteristics of the old-style army inside, such as soldiers following the generals.The army of the Western Qing Dynasty had a variety of members, including soldiers of all nationalities, cultures and religions. They only obeyed the orders of the superiors because of the discipline of iron and blood, but they had no real sense of belonging and national honor.Therefore, the army of the Western Qing Dynasty listened to the officers. Although Fei Yanggu, the senior officer, was often rotated, the middle and lower ranks were out of control.Therefore, those powerful people in the army control their strength by controlling the middle and lower level officers.

This sudden change was not very chaotic. After all, it was because of Fei Yanggu's powerful authority that it basically subsided within three weeks. Fei Yanggu realized the overhead of Chenglin and regained "control of the army" .

Although Cheng Lin was awarded first-class merit, he lost his military power and actually lost his personal freedom.Fei Yanggu, who is extremely suspicious and delusional, can't tolerate Cheng Lin's free activities anymore, so he has actually placed Cheng Lin under house arrest. He sent personnel from the Military Aircraft Bureau to watch Cheng Lin and send Cheng Lin back. Mo Jing.

In Mo Jing's house, even the cleaners were replaced by special agents of the Military Aircraft Bureau, not to mention the guards who nominally protected Mr. Jiayong, but were actually the ones who put him under house arrest.

In Mo Jing's house, Dai Peng, the commander of the Military Aircraft Bureau, came to visit Cheng Lin.On the way to the west, Fei Yanggu, Dai Peng and Cheng Lin used to be very close. At that time, the three of them were all aggressive and unyielding young people in their twenties.After more than 20 years, things have changed.

When Dai Peng saw Cheng Lin, he actually set up a greenhouse in the yard and played with tomatoes.

When Dai Peng came, Cheng Lin didn't speak. After a while, Dai Peng asked, "Do you hate the emperor?"

Chenglin put down the scissors in his hand, looked at Dai Peng calmly, and asked, "Does the emperor want to know, or do you want to know?"

Dai Peng shook his head: "I came to see you without telling the emperor."

Cheng Lin didn't answer, and continued to play with the vine shelf.

Dai Peng sighed: "The emperor is sorry for you, but now the emperor won't listen to you. After a while, let me try to talk to him. He still has to take care of his old feelings."

Cheng Lin replied: "After a period of time? After moving westward, Cheng Lin stayed away from military power for 20 years. Now he has only regained control of the army for more than a year, and was dismissed again. Will it take another 20 years? Cheng Lin has this time, I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty there is none left."

After hearing this, Dai Peng's pupils shrank: "What do you mean by that?"

"The battle between Ming and Qing is imminent."
