Unparalleled Concubine

Generally speaking, you can get a certain amount of money for killing enemies on the battlefield. The price is usually two coins per person. Now, with a word from Emperor Yuanzhao, the price has been increased tenfold.

But even if it is doubled ten times, it is still a good deal. The Southwest Army has a total of only 6 or 10 people, and not all of them have left Shu. , that is, 200 million guan.

Now that the imperial court of the Jin Dynasty has not been corrupted to the point of no control, it is not difficult to take out two or three million yuan in cash from the treasury.

After receiving the emperor's edict, the Ministry of War immediately bowed its head in salute, and then quickly went down to work.

After the people from the Ministry of War went down, Jingzhao Yin and Zhou Cong came out to join Chen Zuo. He lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, there are rumors abounding in the capital today, and Jingzhao Mansion will not be able to make a decision for a while. Your Majesty, please make a decision..."

When things got to this point, they couldn't hide it at all.

In fact, as early as a few days ago, the news that the southwestern rebels had defeated the imperial army began to spread in the capital. The news that Xiangyang City was broken in three days was also widely circulated in the capital. , some panic breath appeared after a long absence.

What's more deadly is that there are still many people from Li Xin's Anbu in the capital. Many of the news circulating in the capital are deliberately spread by people from the Anbu, and the public opinion is still in the process of further fermenting, and it has already reached Jingzhao Mansion It's not easy to deal with.

The emperor's face was gloomy, and he said angrily: "There are people who spread rumors in the capital, all of them will be taken to the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, and interrogated strictly. "

Zhou Cong lowered his head, and said in a respectful voice, "I... obey His Majesty's edict."

Emperor Yuanzhao sat on the emperor's throne, closed his eyes and meditated for a long time, and then said: "I will tell you my will, and immediately call the troops from all over the country to enter the capital and encircle Li Ni in the southwest!"

The imperial army in Gyeonggi of the Great Jin Dynasty was originally about 32, but because a lot of them have been transferred to the southwest in recent years, and many southwest troops have been sent to block the eastward advance, there are still 24 left at this time.

And there are still many local troops in various parts of the Jin Dynasty.

For example, the Xiang army in various places, as well as some special anti-corruption troops, the anti-Japanese army, and the frontier army on the border.

The Xiang Army of the Great Jin Dynasty will be transferred to the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army to defend the capital in time to become a part of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army's source of troops. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the local Xiang Army is extremely weak. In addition to the large number of people, one has no equipment, and the other does not have much Training, very out of shape.

The 10,000+ people that Pei attacked and attacked Hanzhou at the beginning were the Xiang army in the southwest.

The frontier army cannot be easily moved, so they can only call the Xiang army to serve the king. In fact, even the forbidden army can hardly stop the Southwest army, it is even more impossible for the Xiang army in these places to do anything. The meaning of the emperor's edict It is already obvious that it is to mobilize the local Xiang army to come to the capital as "cannon fodder".

Now the court has figured out what the so-called "Tianlei" in the Southwest is all about, and also knows that Tianlei is not "Tianwei", but a consumable. Since it is a consumable, it cannot be endless.

As long as these Xiang troops are used to consume the firearms of the Southwest Army, the Southwest Army will no longer be able to threaten the imperial court and the capital.

After the emperor issued several imperial edicts, he left a few prime ministers to speak in Weiyang Palace, and then waved his hands a little tired, disbanding this grand court meeting.

At this time, Gongyang Shu was no longer in the center, and the prime minister in charge of Shangshutai was Fang Ziwei, who walked into the emperor's study respectfully.

In the study, the old general with white beard and hair, Zhong Xuantong, also stood respectfully with his hands down.

The Son of Heaven patted Zhong Xuantong on the shoulder, and sighed bitterly: "The old general came back to Beijing from Yunzhou for retirement. Originally, the old general should not have been used anyway, but at this moment, there is no more available in Beijing. As a general, I can only ask the old general to take command of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army temporarily."

In fact, the Forbidden Army in Gyeonggi currently has available generals. Hou Jingde, the general of Zuoying in the Forbidden Army, one of the three heroes of Renchen, served in the Forbidden Army in the early years of Taikang, and has been a general in the Forbidden Army for more than ten years. It is enough to serve as the general.

But Hou Jingde had some friendship with Li Xin, so Emperor Yuanzhao didn't dare to use him, and invited Zhong Xuantong, who had retired at home, to come out again.

The old general Zhong coughed, bowed his head and said: "The old minister has received the kindness of the country, and he will die loyally for His Majesty."

Speaking of this, he paused, and said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, there are still more than 20 imperial guards in the Great Jin Dynasty, plus the Ankang Army brought back by General Pei and the remnants of the Hanzhong Army, it is possible to fight. There are more than 30 people, and the Southwest rebels are only 10 at best. I think there is no need to be shy. If they come out in full force, they can surround the Southwest rebels. No matter how powerful their firearms are, they may not be useful in a chaotic battle. "

To be honest, this method of cultivating profound powers is very effective.

The Southwest Army has only 10 people. Once it is encircled, it is easy to lose sight of it and it is not easy to use it.

But this method is not so easy.

First of all, 10 people will not rush out all at once, the Southwest Army will definitely find a city as a base, and then launch an attack.

What's more, Li Xin, who had thought of this in advance, followed Mu Ying, and was frantically recruiting prisoners and recruiting new soldiers. When the Southwest Army left Shu, there were 10 people, but now it is not necessarily this number.

The emperor frowned, then shook his head and said: "This is too risky, and no one knows whether those rebels will come up with new things. According to my opinion, the old general will still guard the city and break the law with justice." strange."

The 30 forbidden troops came out in full force, and they were betting heavily on the fate of the country. Once they lost, the Jin Dynasty would be destroyed in an instant.

The emperor did not dare to gamble like this.

The Southwest Army is alone, and its background is far inferior to that of the Great Jin Dynasty. As long as they hold the capital, they can be exhausted slowly.

Chong Xuantong looked up at the Son of Heaven, didn't say much, but secretly sighed in his heart.

After several generations of emperors, the Great Jin Dynasty no longer had the spirit of Emperor Wu to fight north and south, nor did Chen Guogong have the bloody spirit to fight alone...

Chapter 1062 You Can Talk About It

"Your Majesty, the veteran will go out of the city tomorrow to lead the army. If the Chong family is still alive, there will be no danger of the Great Jin being destroyed."

"Hard work, old general."

Emperor Yuanzhao sighed slowly.

"If this matter can pass, the Chong family will do a great job."

After Chong Xuantong said a few words with the emperor, he bowed and left. The emperor discussed the next countermeasures with several prime ministers. After about an hour, several prime ministers also left Weiyang Palace one after another. After everyone left, the emperor Sitting on the soft couch slumped, she closed her eyes and was speechless for a long time.

Xiao Zheng stood by with his hands down, and heaved a long sigh: "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Yuanzhao opened his eyes, his voice hoarse.

"Go, call Ye Shangshu into the palace."

Ye Shangshu, of course, is the Marquis of Ningling Ye Lin who is currently serving as the Minister of the Ministry of War. After the Jimen Pass was broken, the relationship between the imperial court and the Ye family dropped to a freezing point. The imperial court prohibited the Zhenbei Army from recruiting new recruits. Feeling angry, he still stayed in Yancheng and did not return to Beijing. Only the fourth master of the Ye family went to work in the yamen of the Ministry of War every day like a normal person.

Xiao Zheng nodded when he heard the words, bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, you... don't be too sad."

The emperor frowned slightly.

"Go quickly."

"Old slave, go here."

Xiao Zheng sighed, left Weiyang Palace with small steps, and went to find Ye Lin in person at the military office. About half an hour later, he led Ye Lin to the door of the emperor's study, bowed and said: "Ye Shangshu, Your Majesty is here Inside, you go in."

After Ye Lin nodded, he tidied up his court clothes, and then walked in. After seeing the emperor, Lord Ye Hou knelt down in a proper manner, and kowtowed: "Minister Ye Lin, kowtow to Your Majesty."

"You don't need to be too polite, Ye Qing, just get up."

The Son of Heaven waved his hand, signaling Ye Lin to stand up and talk, and after Ye Lin stood up, the Son of Heaven turned his head and said to Xiao Zheng: "You all go out, Ye Qing and I have something to say alone."

Xiao Zheng immediately understood and made a gesture, and all the palace people in Weiyang Palace immediately bowed their heads to salute the emperor, and after saying "Slave and servant leave", they followed Xiao Zheng and left the emperor's study.

After these people left, only the emperor and Ye Lin were left in the study. The emperor slumped on the soft couch, pointed to the seat in the study, and said hoarsely, "Ye Qing, sit down and talk."

Ye Lin hesitated for a while, then found a short pier and sat down.

The emperor opened his eyes, looked at the Marquis of Ningling who was already graying at the temples, and smiled wryly: "Ye Qing should know why I came here for you."
