My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 676 The Last Battle (4)

Yanjing.

Jinyi Iron Riding Academy on the outskirts of the city.

The cold wind is howling, and the temperature in Hebei in the early winter is already extremely low, and it is about to drop below zero.

Yan Qing looked solemn, put on his armor and mounted his horse, commanding [-] brocade-clothed cavalry to stand in formation and wait for the emperor's personal inspection.And the emperor is still presiding over today's court meeting.

In this season that is not suitable for raising troops to fight, the Jin people brazenly launched a war of aggression against Dayan. This can only mean that the material reserves in the country of Jin are already stretched, and they can't wait for the next spring.

Chongzheng Hall.

Wang Lin looked around at the civil and military courtiers who were divided into two classes, with a calm expression.

Now the hot topic at the court meeting is nothing more than how to deal with the invasion of the Jin Kingdom. Most courtiers adopt a defense-oriented strategy, thinking that the cold weather is not conducive to the movement of the army. As long as they can survive this winter, the Jin army will definitely collapse without fighting. .

Wang Lin was noncommittal about this and did not put forward his own claims.

In addition to the invasion of the Kingdom of Jin, what attracted the attention of the officials was how to solidify the Dongying Islands on the territory of Dayan, continue to govern, and continue to achieve long-term stability.

Originally, few of the courtiers thought highly of a small island country overseas, thinking that it was just a wild land overseas, and it was useless to spend military and financial resources to occupy it for a long time, which was of little significance.

However, the emperor personally conquered Dongying, and brought back a huge amount of silver reserves, which directly made Dayan treasury grow exponentially. For the sake of money, the courtiers would never hand over such a piece of fat to others.

How could the fat in his mouth be spit out again.

Because of the huge amount of silver deposits, a small overseas island has become a popular place, and correspondingly, civil and military officials at all levels are assigned to the newly established Haidong Province. The coveting and disputes of some people in the DPRK.

Li Zhihuan, the top leader of the civil service system in Haidong Province, was appointed by the emperor himself, and the cabinet and courtiers dare not comment.

As for Murong Changfeng, one is that he has made great contributions to Dayan's recovery of the Dongying Islands, and the other is that this person is a relative of Murong Wan'er, and as an imperial concubine, the courtiers dare not question it easily.

But for those civil and military positions under the two, after all, a newly established provincial and local system needs hundreds of civil and military officials, if not thousands.

So we fought.

In fact, Li Gang handed over a big list yesterday.

The above are some people who were finalized after repeated discussions by the cabinet after weighing the major forces in the court and taking into account the interests of the families behind the concubines.

The people above are really the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their abilities, and they all have strong recommenders behind them, or they are inextricably linked with Wang Lin's women.

Although the harem is not allowed to engage in politics, Wang Lin's women have never interacted with courtiers, even senior ministers like Li Gang.

But people don't live in air after all, Wang Lin's women are also flesh and blood people, and behind them are one or several small and medium-sized families who have risen with the help of their invisible power.

For example, the Han family.

For example, the Li family behind Li Qingzhao.

The Li family not only has Li Qingzhao, but also Li Hui, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture.

Another example is the Song family in Hebei, the natal family of the Song family's twin sisters.

There are also the Murong family, the Duan family in Yunnan, the Meng family in Shandong, the Xiao family in the rest of Khitan, the Zhao family in the former Song Dynasty, the Hua family in Qingzhou, and so on.

These can all be classified as foreign relatives, headed by the Han family.

Excluding these, there are important officials in the court, who have different backgrounds with Wang Lin's confidant generals such as Han Shizhong, Yue Feiyanqing, etc...

All in all, Wang Lin was very angry when he received this big list, so he took a pen and wrote four big characters on the Shangyu: Ridiculous!
In Wang Lin's view, the Dongying Islands are a piece of land that needs several generations of hard work to achieve long-term stability and complete Sinicization. For the current generation, it will take a huge effort.

But many people compete for it as a fat vacancy, and go overseas with the purpose of becoming an official and making a fortune...it is simply unreasonable.

Hearing the courtiers discussing and arguing endlessly, Wang Lin took a deep breath. No matter what time, there will always be disputes and conflicts of interests in this court.

Sometimes, even Li Gang is speechless.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, even temples.

Wang Lin took yesterday's big list from the desk, looked around at the ministers, and said calmly: "Okay, don't argue anymore, I won't approve any of the list submitted by the cabinet."

"Overseas is no better than at home. Officials stationed overseas must represent Dayan and the imperial court. Those who have both ability and political integrity and ability to do things must not go. I tell you that Haidong Province is not a place for gold mining, but needs generations of people Khan is even a hot spot for bloody sacrifice.

According to this standard, the cabinet will be re-elected.

I won't care anymore.But if you let me know in the future, those who corrupted the law in Haidong Province will be punished with a third class crime.

There is no problem with the recommendation of courtiers. The so-called selection of talents for the country is everyone's responsibility.But whoever recommends the person must be responsible to the end.

I will leave these words here, and whoever recommends something wrong, I will hold him accountable.Including several cabinet ministers.

Another point is that foreign relatives are not allowed to go. If anyone feels resentful, let him come to me to discuss it.Li Gang, re-screen, if I find someone related to me or my female relatives, I will investigate to the end and punish severely.

As for the war with the Kingdom of Jin, I don't think there is any need to continue arguing.

The Jin people have raised their troops to invade Juyong, and the Jin people are also eyeing Gubeikou.

The war has already begun, and there is no room for turning back.

I am fully responsible for the war, so you don’t need to worry too much. What I need is for you to work together to be a good logistics manager for me and my army, and to ensure the supply of materials and food. That’s enough.

All right, let's go! "

After Wang Lin said that, he walked away.

The emperor's behavior style has become milder in the past six months, and he is rarely as strong and arbitrary as he is today.

The courtiers looked at each other in blank dismay, but there was one thing they knew, and it was a consensus.

The matter of fighting is still left to the emperor, and they will do a good job in logistics.

After all, since the emperor started his army, no matter whether it was against gold, against Mongolia, against the Duan family in Dali, against the barbarians in Yunnan, or against foreign races overseas, he had never lost a war.

In military affairs, the emperor has become an authority that no one can replace and no one dares to question.

This is the existence of a god of war.

……

There was a wave of shouts of long live on the school field.

Under the awe-inspiring gaze of thirty thousand cavalry in brocade clothes, the emperor galloped over on a white horse with a gun in hand.

Except for the ministers of the cabinet, few people in the court knew that the purpose of the emperor's visit to the court today was to see off the [-] royal cavalry.

Starting today, they will leave Hebei and go to the coast of Dengzhou again. From Dengzhou, they will cross the sea by boat and land from Jinzhou, the Kingdom of Jin. Land, mainly to harass the mainland of Jin.

This time the emperor did not insist on the imperial conquest, but ordered Yan Qing and Yang Yizhong to be the chief and deputy commanders in charge of this battle.
