Devil’s Advent

At this time, all the big men of the Yan Kingdom’s court finally came to their senses. They didn’t spend too much time to be surprised by how a letter from the great prince of Nanwang City was discussed and discussed. In the end, it turned out that Extended to:

Your Majesty, please send troops to attack Ganchu!

Because this is the imperial study room,

Because this is in front of the emperor,

For His Majesty sits there;

After so many years of ups and downs in the court, the political sensitivity of the big guys is needless to say. The previous six princes and Heping Yebo's almost obvious oboe may not be because of their poor acting skills, but because they just want to provide A reason, an opportunity, or called, a statement.

As for who to offer it to... Who else can it be offered to?

In fact, in the national war, I have always wanted to beat you, and then I made an excuse, because if my country is not as strong as you think you can't beat you, I will have countless excuses not to beat you.

Between countries, the law of the jungle has always been the law of the jungle. This point, the bigwigs present could not be clear.

His Majesty,

It is ready to send troops.

Send troops when Dayan's finances are so tight that it can only tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

for a while,

Eyes quickly met among the adults present.

Even Wang Lian, who took the initiative to has bad intentions before, did not speak at this time, because he targeted Zheng Fan earlier, not because he wanted to target Zheng Fan, but because he knew that His Majesty did not want the ministers under his command to They are monolithic and harmonious. It is true that the sixth prince is powerful now, but the crown prince has just taken over the responsibility of supervising the country, and His Majesty must see that there are truly talkative and important figures willing to stand in the courtroom. The ones at the East Palace, otherwise, they would not give face to His Majesty's supervising the country.

But next,

When the spearhead was entrusted to His Majesty again,

It takes a lot of thinking about how the big guy should speak and how to express his position.

Because they depend on His Majesty's attitude.

If Your Majesty reprimands them both,

Then the big guy can follow suit to add insult to injury, or get a piece of it, in short, there are ways to push all this in front of him.

If His Majesty scolds them with a smile,

Then the big guy can raise a little opinion and dissuade His Majesty under the guise, because everyone knows that launching another big war at this time means what kind of risk Dayan will bear.

If Your Majesty asks them seriously,

That big guy can only be a mud tire, because he dare not completely defy His Majesty's will.

certainly,

If Your Majesty...

boom!

Yan Huang's right hand slapped the imperial case violently, and said in a deep voice:

The two kingdoms of Qianchu and Chu are not dead-hearted. The two countries have reached an agreement, but they broke their promises and planned to send troops to attack my Dayan three years later. You really think you are, you really are Great Yan. The princes of the Manchu Dynasty are all made of mud!

It is obviously a double spring,

The most direct evidence is the words of Uncle Hirano alone,

Although he had indeed met the regent of Dachu and the family of officials, in the whole world, among those who had met so many emperors, he couldn't pick out a few.

But just one person's words will start a national war?

As for what treachery,

Yes,

Both Dayan and the state of Chu signed peace treaties one after another, but Dayan turned around and killed tens of thousands of Qingluan troops. At this point, the state of Chu still agreed to continue signing the peace treaty, and then Uncle Hirano went to the territory of the state of Chu to arrest the princess , Jingnanhou took the initiative to send troops to oppress Zhennanguan.

As for Qian Guo, Dayan also kept adding New Year's coins to Qian Guo every year and festival, deliberately teasing Qian people's emotions.

so,

It was Dayan who used the peace treaty document as a wipe.

But how to say,

strong country,

Naturally, there are unreasonable qualifications.

Emperor Yan's attitude,

Very clear.

The two young men below sang together,

He took it seriously,

He was also angry.

By implication,

All of you here,

Do you understand?

In the Great Yan Dynasty Hall, the power of the monarchy far exceeds that of the past;

Because throughout the ages, as a courtier, there are too many ways to restrain their own monarch.

The core of power is military power.

Thinking about the officials of the Gan Dynasty, if they want to mobilize the Imperial Guards in Shangjing, and if they want to mobilize the three sides, they have to wait until the Yan people come to fight. Officials are also afraid that their hasty actions will cause backlash from below.

Because apart from the founding emperor, it is very difficult for the younger generations of emperors to have real military power. Even the generals who lead troops abroad actually have their own network of social contacts. Everyone will naturally unite together to offset the power of the emperor. Life or death.

But here in Yanhuang,

He can say that he has no military power,

Because the two armies that Dayan can fight the most are also the soldiers and horses that devour more than half of the rations every year, and they are not actually in his hands.

However, those two people who are really in charge of Dayan's military power have no intention of rebelling at all, and they have been standing firmly behind Yan Huang.

The military power has been devolved, but the status of the monarch has been infinitely elevated.

This is a very unimaginable phenomenon, but it really happened.

You can say that this kind of power structure is extremely unstable, and even a little too taken for granted. Any normal emperor would not choose to do this, and would even instinctively kill this sign;

But no matter what,

Today Yanhuang,

It's true.

After the removal of the clans, there is a lot of vacancy in the court. The emperor can choose his own people to fill the court at will.

In addition, Zhao Jiulang is the head of all officials, but he is extremely obedient to the Emperor Yan. In Dayan, there are basically no factors that can restrict the monarchy. He is the only husband.

next moment,

Zhao Jiulang stood up,

Kneeling down to Emperor Yan,

Loudly:

Your Majesty, the wolfish ambitions of Ganchu are clearly revealed. I ask Your Majesty to plan for the future of your descendants, send righteous teachers to crusade against Ganchu!

Zaisuke made his statement first.

immediately,

Wang Lian, Cao Que, and Xu Qiutai got up and knelt down:

Your Majesty, please plan for the future and crusade against Qianchu!

The remaining ministers also left their positions and knelt down to petition.

just a moment ago,

The court chiefs who were still worried about Dayan's dire financial situation, at this moment, all of them were filled with righteous indignation and begged His Majesty to send troops to start the national war!

Yes, old tears;

Yes, flushed;

Yes, if you don't accept the old, please give me a long sword and be willing to be a pioneer;

Some are willing to spend all their wealth to raise military expenses for Dayan.

If you do something wrong, you will be punished at most;

If the attitude is wrong, then what use is it for you?

so,

Everyone's attitude changed quickly and thoroughly, without delay.

Even the prince,

At this time also knelt down,

My son begged my father to send troops to attack Ganchu!

Uncle Zheng, who snatched the kneeling seat in the front row early, was a little excited at this moment;

In fact, he had no interest in that chair, to be precise, he had no feeling for the sanctity of imperial power;

After all, in the time and space he once lived in, he could enter the Forbidden City by buying a ticket.

But this kind of feeling that there is no potential at all, but because of Yanhuang's attitude, he abruptly raised the potential, Uncle Zheng was very obsessed and intoxicated.

In Xuehaiguan, he himself was actually like this.

Regardless of the value of the benefits, he can announce some actions purely according to his own preferences, and the demon kings under his command will not block them, and the rest will not block them either.

But that's just a snow pass,

The one in front of him can order the entire Great Yan, including the people of the Three Jins, with countless population, wealth, and food, to embark on the road of conquest he wants.

He wants to go against the trend,

The entire Dayan had to obey his edict and go against the trend.

Uncle Zheng once heard a story when he was a child,

It's called The Emperor's New Clothes.

When many people read this story, they feel that the emperor is stupid, all the officials are stupid, and the people are stupid, and then they feel that only the last child retains the innocence of a child.

But from another perspective,

An emperor who can make people all over the country, as long as they are adults with thinking ability, cooperate with him in acting and point at a deer as a horse together, how terrifying is his control over his country?

In the royal study,

The big picture is settled.

Uncle Zheng even felt that even if he didn't participate in the scene, it wouldn't be difficult for Emperor Yan to force him to do so.

My own joining is nothing more than making this matter smoother.

The consensus reached in the imperial study room today will be spread throughout the court hall tomorrow, during the court meeting. At that time, everything in the Great Yan Empire will be in operation again for the upcoming national war.

But Emperor Yan is obviously a pragmatist, he is not satisfied with slogans, he desperately wants his achievements to be implemented at a speed visible to the naked eye.

so,

He immediately threw out the next topic:

Attack Qian first, or attack Chu first.

Emperor Yan wanted the next court meeting. In this matter, it was completely reduced to a formality, and he didn't want to throw the trivial matter there.

The general direction has been reversed, and now, whether you want it or not, you can only make choices in this direction.

Wang Lian immediately said:

Your Majesty, I think that we should attack Qian first, so that the country will be rich.

The prosperity of the Qian Kingdom is well known, because most of the territory of the Qian Kingdom was inherited from the Great Xia of that year.

Fighting a dry country can make it easier to support wars with wars.

Cao Que also said: Your Majesty, I think that we should attack Qian first. The country of Qian has a vast territory and a large population. The officials of the country have shown their ambitions. In time, the country of Qian will surely become a thorn in my heart, and Qian will face it on three sides. I, Yinlang County, attack first, and I can solve the situation in the south of Dayan.

Although Dayan has annexed the land of the Three Jins, the people of Yan will still regard their inherent land as a place that is truly cherished. No matter what, they should keep their hometown first.

In addition, fighting dry countries can facilitate the transportation of manpower and material resources and reduce logistical pressure.

And if you attack Chu State, you will die at Zhennanguan, which is equivalent to Dayan's military mobilization and logistical support, and you will also leave Dayan's homeland and span the entire Jin territory.

is an individual,

We all know that this is the most suitable time to attack the dry country.

Seriously,

If Uncle Zheng hadn't been the chief soldier of Xueguan, and if Marquis Jingnan hadn't been in Jin, Uncle Zheng also felt that it would be most appropriate to attack Qianguo first. Qianren's combat power can make a qualitative leap in a short period of time.

Moreover, if you fight the dry country and gnaw all the way, even if you lose money, you will never lose too much, and you can make up for it clearly and visibly.

But no matter what,

If you attack first, there is nothing wrong with you.

At that time, the Marquis of Jingnan may send troops to attack Qianguo, but he can only defend his home.

After winning, I can only watch from a distance and drool;

If he loses, the situation of Dayan will collapse directly. Not to mention the instability of the Three Jins, when the Chu people sent troops to the Northern Expedition, his Xuehaiguan would immediately become an enclave surrounded by the Chu people's army.

And the Chu people are not savages, the strongest of the Chu people is the infantry, really let the Chu people surround them, their siege methods are by no means comparable to the savages back then.

worst case,

Uncle Zheng might be forced to go out to the snowfield, and lead the Demon King and the rest of his subordinates to become a veritable savage uncle on the snowfield.

War, treat it as a gamble, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, you have to lose the chips by yourself to get over your hand addiction, and even if you lose, you won't feel aggrieved, right?

Anyway, I have played and experienced it myself, and I can recognize the final result.

But what is it called watching others roll the dice from a long distance and passively bearing the consequences?

only,

Before Uncle Zheng opened his mouth to speak,

Even Ji Chengjue didn't speak,

Prince,

He opened his mouth first and said:

Father, my son thinks that if we want to fight a national war, we, Dayan, must be prioritized.

This is nonsense.

Dayan is currently struggling financially, even if it is overdrawn to squeeze its national power, it can barely cope with one battlefield.

But what the prince said next surprised most of the people in the imperial study.

Therefore, my son thought that we should attack Chu first, and Yu Gan should take the lead in defense. There are three reasons for this:

1. Gan people are cowardly. My Dayan attacked Chu first, and Qian people might wait and see. A hundred years ago, during the bloody battle between our Dayan and the barbarians, Qian people still chose the Northern Expedition, which shows that Qian people are very short-sighted;

Second, from the capital to Yinlang County and then to Qianren Sanbian to Chujun, one horse is flat, and Qianren soldiers and horses dare to go north. My Dayan can also take advantage of the advantage of the cavalry; and even if the situation is really critical, the town The king of the north can also send troops back from Beifeng County to help, and it is also too late.

Third, the Marquis of Jingnan is in Jin and is familiar with Chu.

at last,

The prince hesitated for a moment,

And said:

There's a fourth.

Emperor Yan tapped the imperial case lightly with his fingertips, and said, Say.

My son has heard that Jin's soldiers and horses are not stable, but Jin's land is vast, and Jin camps are needed to enrich it. If we attack Chu, it will consume the young and strong Jin people.

One of the major unstable factors in Jin is the soldiers and horses of Jin. Basically, wherever they are stationed, there will be a Yan army nearby to guard them.

These people can be used as cannon fodder to attack Chu.

To attack Chu State, it is necessary to send troops from Jin, and it is also convenient to mobilize these soldiers and horses from Jin, but if they attack Qian State, they must send Yan troops from Jin to the battlefield of Qian State. If there is less, who will come to guard the soldiers and horses of the Jin Dynasty?

Anyway, they are all unstable factors, so it's better to be cannon fodder.

This is true, but the strange thing is that it was the crown prince who said it.

Emperor Yan focused his eyes and said:

As a prince, you should cultivate virtue.

Wang Lian immediately knelt down and said: I am also in charge of Zhan Shi in the Eastern Palace, but I failed to teach the crown prince well. I have committed a crime. Your Majesty please punish me.

The prince's suggestion is actually correct.

The fault is that he is the crown prince, and it would be out of place for him to say such things in person, and it would lose his dignity.

Just like the prisoners under Yupan City,

The Chu people's agreement with Yanhuang didn't even look at it, because he knew what Tian Wujing did over there;

In the end, it just took advantage of the trend to cut off Tian Wujing's Wang Jue.

He himself is still clean, and his bad reputation is all carried by Jingnanhou.

This is not a double standard, nor is it hypocritical, but as the emperor, he has the function of uniting the hearts of the people of the country, so he must be pure.

Let the people think that he is reliable, kind, and everyone's parents.

The prince also bowed his head,

road:

My father forgives my sin, my son, Meng Lang.

This is just a small episode, because the prince's suggestion is very good, the only flaw is the way he speaks, but the flaws are not concealed.

Uncle Zheng subconsciously went to see Ji Laoliu,

obviously,

Ji Lao Liu was robbed by the prince.

Now that Ji Laoliu has decided to follow Zheng Fan's suggestion, to serve his own father and make him happy, next, he must support the first attack on Chu, otherwise he and himself will be regarded as wearing a pair of pants and being the No. Wouldn't Bo Hirano, a general, be useless at all?

But the prince first said what he wanted to say,

The most annoying thing is,

The prince actually abandoned his original kindheartedness and snatched his own personality!

for a while,

Even Ji Laoliu is a little confused about his second brother's routine,

Play decadent for a while, aggressive for a while,

Could it be that the position of supervisor of the country ignited his fighting spirit again?

Cheng Jue, tell me.

After being named, Ji Chengjue could only speak, and he couldn't repeat the prince's previous words. Repeating other people's views is a taboo in politics;

Father, my son thinks that Chu should be attacked. If there is a big battle, the battlefield should be as far away from my native land as Dayan. The farther the better.

The land of Jin, especially the eastern half of Chengguo, has long been empty because of the savages and Chu people. It is already a broken place, so let's continue to fight.

There is another set of rhetoric for defending against the enemy outside the country, that is, the battlefield should be as far away from your traditional territory as possible. The land of the Three Jins is a newly attached land, and the original land of Dayan was only eight hundred years old. The place where the ancestors worked hard is the Ji family, which is the root of the Yan people.

Ji Chengjue said again:

And the last time our army attacked Qian, even though it reached the upper capital, the territory in the rear was actually not occupied. The three sides of the Qian people are strong. As long as we stick to it, our soldiers and horses of Dayan can only advance and retreat without falling into the quagmire.

And if Zhennan Pass is captured, the initiative in the Chu situation will change, and the initiative to continue to expand the scale of the war will be in my hands, Dayan.

My son felt that if he wanted to attack Chu, he must conquer Nanguan first, and even if he wanted to attack, he must conquer Nanguan first, so as to block the way for the Chu people to go north!

Yan Huang set his sights on Zheng Fan;

Which one to attack first, there are advantages and disadvantages, and there is no perfect solution after analysis. Uncle Hirano, talk about it, talk about it, let me hear what they haven't said.

Your Majesty, please attack Chu first!

Emperor Yan smiled,

Said very calmly:

continue.

Zheng Fan took a deep breath,

Loudly:

Because the minister is there!
