Crown Tang emperor

Chapter 0746: Hedong is empty, no soldiers prepare for chaos

It was the twelfth lunar month, and a new snowstorm came with the wind, covering the whole city of Shendu with snow, and there was a festive atmosphere in Fangqujian that the auspicious snow would herald a good year.However, an urgent military report came quickly to sweep away the atmosphere.

In the court hall of Shendu, the emperor had just forced the prime ministers to bow their heads a little due to the performance of martial arts in the Beiya and the excitement of the court officials, but the joy of victory had not yet been recollected, and the mood quickly became anxious because of it.

In the Great Neiwucheng Hall, high-ranking officials from the DPRK and China gathered together, and the emperor sat high in the hall, with a hint of anxiety in his tone: "In the old year, Mo Chuu was defeated by Hequ, and he only fled with his body. He was already so weak. Why? Can we still attack from the south this winter?"

When the emperor asked this question, no one in the hall answered.The defeat of Mochu in the old year was not the result of the imperial court dispatching troops. Afterwards, the Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province was established, and the military affairs related to Hequ were all handled by the platform, and the imperial court was even less able to grasp the details.

The second emperor's tone was implicitly reprimanded, clearly questioning Xingtai's old achievements.This involves disputes at a higher level. Wei Juyuan was dismissed from the prime minister before because he questioned his performance in Taiwan.At present, the courtiers are not sure whether the emperor intends to use this to set off a new round of power cuts on the counter, so naturally they dare not express their views easily.

But although many courtiers kept silent, some people were determined not to be so sensitive after all.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wang Xiaojie, the general of Zuowei, stepped out and said: "In the old years of Zhenguan, the Turks were defeated. Jieli lost his position because of his rebellion, and Tuli defended his troops because of his obedience. After that The imperial court separated the Turkic tribes because of the northern border. After years of planning, Anbei Dadu Protectorate and Shanyu Dadu Protectorate took Qi as the boundary to divide the north and the south.

In the old year of the emperor, the Turkic rebellion first became agitated under Shanyu Duhu's mansion. Although it was not a serious disaster at that time, the Buzulu brothers escaped from the law, and the disaster has caused them to this day. They fled in the borders of Mobei and Monan. Stiffness lies in the fact that the bandits and armors all come out from the front and back of the jiji tribes, and they follow their own way in advance and retreat.In the old year when Mochuu was defeated, most of the people who were executed were Dudujun Yushan's sages, but Monan's ethnicity is small, and the damage is not much..."

In the early years, the Turks were the overlord of the north, and their territories spanned across the south and north of the desert.Although the Eastern Turks were conquered during the Zhenguan period, the Turkic royal family with the Ashina family as the core was the one that suffered the most.But even in the Ashina family, there are still Eastern Turks headed by Ashina Simo and Tuli Khan.

As for other large and small Turkic clan forces, they have been relatively complete.The post-Turkic forces with the Gu Dulu brothers as the core developed from the Monan area ruled by the Shanyu Duhu Mansion, so the first battles between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks after the subjugation of the country mainly took place in the Shanyu Duhu Mansion and its surrounding areas.

During the special period of the Wu Zhou Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, the Jihu system in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty further collapsed, and Gu Dulu led his troops back to the Yudujun Mountain in Mobei to rebuild the tooth tent, which became a symbol of the success of the restoration of the Turks.As the brother of Gu Dulu, Mo Chuo stayed in Heisha City in Monan, which was set up in the south of Turks.After Gu Dulu's death, Mochuo went to Yudujun Mountain to fight for the Khan position, and then led the people to invade Hequ from the south and suffered a big defeat.

However, in this series of victories and defeats, it was still Gu Dulu's core force that was on the line against the Tang army, and Huzhou, which was ruled by Shanyu Duhufu, was not deeply affected.After the defeat of Mo Chuo Hequ, he only fled with his body, but in just one or two years, he gathered the strength from the south to attack. This is actually not surprising, but it is just repeating the process of his brother Gu Dulu's fortune.

As the old grassland overlord, the Turkic tribe was dismembered and split before it was officially destroyed. The biggest contradiction was the pair of uncles and nephews Xieli and Tuli.After Jieli's downfall, he was stabbed in the back by Tuli, so the subsequent sanctions and settlements for Turkic settlements also differed in severity.

But the importance of this is only relative. A group of subjugated people can't always entertain them with good wine and good food.

Although the eastern tribes belonging to the Turkic Turks remained relatively intact, they also undertook heavy military service during the eastward conquest of Goguryeo. Therefore, the first wave of Turkic subjugation forces came from the eastern part of Monan under the control of the Shanyu Duhufu. Turks.In other words, the Jimi prefecture governed by the Shanyu Duhufu was the real source of the restoration of the Turkic state.

After Ashina Funian, the head of Turkic restoration of the country, died, the Turkic rebels who participated in the turmoil crossed the Yellow River to welcome Ashina Funian from the six states of Hequ as the leader.However, the settlement itself in the six prefectures of Hequ was strictly controlled, and he had a deeper awe of the Tang Dynasty. Fu Nian directly surrendered under the threat of the Tang soldiers, and took the initiative to arrest the eastern chiefs who participated in the rebellion.

The Gu Dulu brothers were the ones who slipped through the net in this rebellion. After realizing that the six prefectures were not credible, they returned to the Monan area within the scope of Shanyu Duhufu to develop their forces and gradually grew.

This time, Mo Chuai lost everything in Hequ, and also wandered back to Monan to continue to develop his power. The real reason for his resurgence is still the pampering and connivance of Shanyu Duhufu.

Wang Xiaojie consciously discusses the matter as it stands, and analyzes the root cause of Mo Shui's resurgence.But saying this made everyone in the hall feel embarrassed.Because this means that Mo Chuai has grown stronger again, the responsibility does not lie with Shaanxi Daoxingtai, but that the imperial court did not seize this opportunity to beat the dog in the water and gave Mo Chuai a chance to breathe.

The facts are indeed as Wang Xiaojie said, the route of the Turkic invasion this time was bypassing the Hequ area controlled by Xingtai, directly passing through the south of Yunzhou where Shanyu Duhufu is located, and entering Shuozhou and Daizhou in the north of Kouhe River. and so on.

Seeing that after Wang Xiaojie finished his presentation, the atmosphere in the hall became tense, Prime Minister Li Sixun said again: "What is the cause of the matter, it is not appropriate to investigate deeply at the moment. The most urgent thing is to prepare for the invading thieves. Right now the Turks have invaded Lanzhou, Bingzhou is only a stone's throw away, and Bingzhou reported that the number of armored troops gathered in Jingyuzhou and counties is less than [-], once the Turkic rebels break in, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Hearing Li Sixun's words, everyone in the hall gasped, and several people couldn't help but shouted, "Bingzhou's military equipment is so slack?"

As soon as this question was raised, there was another embarrassing silence.Bingzhou is the capital of Hedong Road, and its geography is directly at the key point. It was originally a large military base in Shuofang Monan, but it can gather less than [-] armored soldiers. This is no different from an undefended Buddhist gate.Once Turkic invades Bingzhou, wins money, food and supplies, and has the strength to continue southward, maybe around the New Year, Turkic cavalry will be able to reach the north bank of the Yellow River!

There are also profound reasons for the emptiness of Bingzhou's defense.After the revolution in Shendu, the first big problem that the imperial court had to face was the Daibeidao army led by Xue Huaiyi at that time.Although this problem was properly resolved with the cooperation of the governor Shi Wuyouyi and the generals of the marching army at the time, it also laid a hidden danger for the court.

His successor, Su Weiwei, was also a member of King Yong. After the establishment of the Xingtai, King Yong was already greater than Shaanxi. If he gathered again in Bingzhou Jiaqi, it would undoubtedly be allowing King Yong's power to continue to spread to the east of the river.

In order to prevent this situation, the imperial court's strategy for Bingzhou was a false defense strategy.Even the several large ordnance warehouses originally established in Bingzhou were moved to Xiangzhou, east of Taihang Mountain.

Of course, this does not mean that Hedong Road is completely undefended.After all, it was Li Zhaode who was in charge of military and political affairs at that time. Although Bingzhou no longer gathered armor and weapons, it directly increased the size of the garrison of Shanyu Duhufu. There are 2 people, plus the armed forces near the city of Huzhou, there are [-] people.

Such a military force is enough to control the situation in Monan and suppress all kinds of rebellions.Therefore, whether Bingzhou's defense is comprehensive or not is not enough to affect the overall defense situation in Monan.

But the question is, since Shanyu Duhufu has such an arrangement, why has there been such a loophole in defense, Mo Chuo led the public to pass through Shanyu Duhufu in a grand manner, and went straight to the counties of Hedong Road!

What exactly are the tens of thousands of troops in Shanyu's Protectorate's Mansion doing?Even if the prevention and control were neglected for a while, but now that the Turkic thieves have invaded several states, they should wake up, return to the defense and intercept Mo Chuai and his party!

When this question was brought up, all the officials in the palace were furious, and they all reprimanded Yang Xuanji, the guardian of Shanyu Dufu, for neglecting his duties, and for letting the Turks come south with tens of thousands of soldiers, he deserves to be killed!

However, when the Ministry of War retrieved the detailed rules for the adjustment of border military affairs this year, it was dumbfounded. In September, 3000 soldiers from the garrison of Shanyu Duhufu were transferred back to the country and entered the capital as guards.

However, this part of the military status was not included in the Nanya, and the reason is very simple, because it was directly included in the Beiya.Earlier, the emperor performed martial arts at the North Gate and inspected the Beiya Wanqi new army, some of which belonged to the border guards in Monan.

Of course, there is no need to delve into this point. If the emperor wants to create a pro-army, it is also a normal operation to recruit soldiers from the frontier to join the arch.What's more, the entry of three thousand soldiers into the Sansu Guard is not enough to greatly damage the defense of Shanyu Duhufu, it's just that the timing is a bit unfortunate.

But there is a bigger problem, that is, in addition to the 1 soldiers who entered Sansuwei, there are actually [-] soldiers from the Shanyu Duhu Mansion who left the defense area and entered Youzhou eastward, including the guardian envoys. Yang Xuanji.

From the point of view of time, it was after this group of troops were taken away that Mochuo sent troops to the south to invade Shuozhou!

It is obvious that the matter went back to this step. It was the garrison of Shanyu Duhufu that was emptied, which caused the emptiness of Monan's defense, and gave Mo Chuai an opportunity to send troops to the south, which also made Bingzhou a loophole in the defense. Exposed in front of the Turkic bandits!

But the Shanyu Duhu Mansion monitors Monan, and it is reasonable to transfer some of the armored people to Sansuwei. What is such a large army suddenly withdrawing from the district and going to Youzhou?

In the main hall, Emperor Li Dan's face was gloomy, he just looked down at the materials submitted by the Ministry of War, coughed dryly and said: "What Li Xianggong said is really urgent. Tang Tianwei, we must not allow him to be a troublemaker for a long time, and his contacts are unrestricted. All the lords are plotting the ministers of the country, and immediately draw up a strategy to kill the thieves and stop the chaos!"

Chapter 0747 God is recruited to fix the thief Hu

Naturally, there were reasons why the emperor did not study the military movements of Shanyu Duhufu.Because Yang Xuanji, the guardian of Shanyu Dufu Mansion, led his troops to leave the Yunzhong defense area and enter Youzhou territory, it was the emperor's instruction.

Since the revolution in Shendu, the internal affairs of the imperial court have risen and fallen several times, and the same is true for foreign affairs.It's just that the adjustment of the imperial court's border affairs is relatively inconspicuous because Shaanxi Daoxingtai has made too many moves in terms of military external plans.

Previously, Li Zhaode presided over the government and deployed heavy troops in the border states such as Monan, although there was no actual war.But just maintaining such a garrison scale has already put great pressure on the Hebei states.After all, the army is forced to send outside, and the resources and food are exhausted inside, so the scholars and people of various states have suffered a lot.

Therefore, after Li Zhaode was dismissed as prime minister, the adjustment of border affairs management was also an issue discussed by the court for years.For a period of time, Di Renjie's theory of Huge's health preservation became the mainstream of the court.However, the emperor, including some ministers, felt that such a policy was a bit overkill, especially in the case of Xingtai's military preparations, completely abandoning the military layout would be tantamount to handing over the initiative of the future situation to Daxingtai, Shaanxi Province.

In the subsequent series of disputes, Di Renjie was gradually marginalized.Afterwards, the imperial court selected cadres to serve in various prefectures, and the main direction was in the prefectures of Hebei.In addition to the administration of herdsmen, these foreign governors also had a mission, which was to recruit strong and brave men and conduct group training as the basis for the imperial court's military equipment in Hebei.

Although the core of this policy focuses on confrontation with the East and West between Daxingtai, Shaanxi Province, it is also combined with the current border crisis situation of the imperial court.When the Turkic Gu Dulu brothers returned to their country, they became the biggest border problem in the north.During the Anniversary of the Wu Dynasty, Xue Huaiyi went to the Turks several times to conquer the north, not to mention the waste of people and money, and the results of the battle were limited.

With the destruction of the order in the north and the development and growth of the Turkic rejuvenation forces, the imperial court now uses troops in Monan again, and it no longer has the kind of initiative it had since Zhenguan and Yonghui.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the people in Hebei have been a heart disease of those in power in the past dynasties.As early as the reign of Wude, Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan even planned to move Hebei Shengmin to the east of Taihang Mountain and give up the long-term management of this place.Of course, this is just a temporary measure for poverty. As the general trend of Tang Dynasty's dominance of the world becomes more and more obvious, this kind of discussion will naturally be no longer mentioned.

But even during the reign of Zhenguan, who was known for being enlightened, he was very wary of Hebei people, and it is no secret that Emperor Taizong always looked down on Shandong people.Including Emperor Gaozong, although he borrowed the power of some Shandong families to get rid of Guanlong, he still clearly ordered the seven surnames and ten families not to marry themselves, and allowed his favorite minister Li Jingxuan and others to join the big family, degrading his family status.

Although the emperor Li Dan was in power, the government was always chaotic, so that the court in Shendu was large and incompetent, and the handling of military and political affairs was not as flexible and efficient as that of Daoxingtai in Shaanxi.

Due to the pressure from Xingtai, the emperor ordered the various prefectures in Hebei to set up regiment training in order to achieve the effect of a Tibetan armor in the prefectures and counties.However, the ancestral legal system that has been vigilant against the people of Hebei has not dared to overstep it arbitrarily since its establishment. In addition, many Guanlong currents are flooding the court and power, and it is both useful and defensive for the people of Hebei.

This is reflected in the actual operation, which is to use Youzhou as the commander-in-chief of Hebei, especially the northern states and counties, to conduct regiment training, and to take the head of the country and Shen Guogong Dou Xiaochen as the governor of Youzhou to lead the military affairs.

However, Hebei itself has been in operation for many years and has its own set of orders. Making such a rash change will inevitably involve coordination in all aspects. The core point of this is the ownership of the Dongyi Protectorate.

During Gaozong’s Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, in addition to completely conquering Goguryeo, a formidable enemy in the Northeast, he also systematically reorganized the tribes in the Northeast and set up many Jimi prefectures, the most important of which is It is Dongyi Protectorate.

Before Dou Xiaochen took office, Dongyi Protector was the governor and leader of Yingzhou.But now the imperial court assigned this official position to the governor of Youzhou, which naturally caused a series of personnel disputes.

After Dou Xiaochen entered the state, Zhao Wenhui, the governor of the imperial court Yingzhou, was arrogant and uncontrollable.

Regarding this point, Emperor Li Dan was also irritated.On the one hand, since Dou Xiaochen has entered the prefecture to take office, even if there are some personnel frictions, they still need to be dealt with within his duties. If there are any disputes and you often go to the court, what use will the court make of you?

On the other hand, the friction between Youzhou and Yingzhou made it difficult for Youzhou to establish its position as the military and political center in the northern part of Hebei Province, which also directly affected the imperial court's control over the entire Hebei Province.

The governor of Yingzhou, Zhao Wenhui, was also a veteran of the frontier affairs for a long time. Once he was dismissed rashly, the court did not have a suitable candidate.And even if Zhao Wenhuang was removed, according to Dou Xiaochen's style of reporting to the court when he encounters any difficulties, he may not be able to completely subdue the Eastern Hu chiefs in a short time.

Therefore, after some weighing, the emperor decided to transfer the army of Shanyu Duhufu to Youzhou to strengthen Dou Xiaochen's strength. Potential to deter internal and external fighters.

When making this decision, Li Dan did not take the Turkic silent sip seriously.A silent sip was defeated by Hequ, and there should be no possibility of a comeback in the short term.Second, Youzhou was originally an important town that controlled the northern border affairs and operated it. After the army of the Shanyu Duhufu entered, this process could be accelerated.

The emperor even planned that if the affairs in Youzhou went well, he could send troops from Youzhou next year to launch a sweep against the Turkic forces in Monan.At that time, the imperial court will also send troops from Hedong Road to encircle and suppress the Turks from the south and east. Even if the Turks cannot be completely wiped out, they will be able to completely sweep the remaining forces of the Turks out of Monan.

Once the war progresses smoothly, the imperial army can take over the defense of Hequ and blockade Xingtai from the north of Guannei Road, thus changing the current situation that the imperial court has always lagged behind Shaanxi Daoxingtai in military terms.

However, just at the beginning of this plan, such a big change happened suddenly.Before Youzhou could sort out a clue, the northern part of Hedong Road was first broken into an empty door by Mochuo, who had made a comeback.

So Li Dan subconsciously felt that Shaanxi Daoxingtai was to blame for this incident. In the battle of Hequ last year, he either falsely reported his military exploits and exaggerated the facts, or he deliberately allowed Mochuo to flee to Monan to support himself!

But regardless of whether these conjectures are established or not, the direct reason for the Turks coming to the south is the emptiness of the defense of Shanyu Duhufu.If this matter is pursued further, the emperor, the decision-maker, is firstly to blame.

But even if you deliberately don't mention it, it's just deception.Naturally, such a large-scale and large-scale military mobilization cannot be decided by just two or three people. The decision-making discussions at that time may still be stored in the "Shizheng Ji" of Zhengshitang.

No matter how thick-skinned the emperor was, he couldn't admit that it was to support his old father-in-law that he transferred the garrison of Shanyu's Duhu mansion, thus providing an opportunity for Mo Chuai to raise troops to the south.

As for how to counterattack the Turkic invaders this time, it is actually not difficult, but the key is to be fast.The Turks invaded this time because they first attacked the Shanyu Duhu Mansion in Yunzhou and obtained the armored horse and staff there, and accidentally captured Sun Yangao, the supervisory censor who was stationed in the city. City, entered the territory of Lanzhou to carry out raids.

However, when attacking the city of Xinzhou, Sima Zhang Jiujie of Xinzhou urgently recruited the state regiment to train and join Hubu City, and defeated the Turkic rebel army near Dingxiang City, so that the city was not lost.

It can be seen from this that the Turkic invaders from the South were not very powerful. They bypassed Jiancheng and were repelled by the state regiment.Therefore, the only solution for now is to send out troops as soon as possible to reduce the space for the Turkic rebels to move, and prevent the scope of the rebels from expanding, especially not to allow the Turkic rebels to enter Bingzhou.

Although Bingzhou's defense is weak, it is an important place on the surface of Hedong Road after all, where money and food are abundant. Once it is swept by the Turkic bandits, the bandits are bound to become more rampant.

So soon some officials in the hall suggested that the imperial court select a general to send troops to rescue Bingzhou immediately. As long as Bingzhou is not lost, this invasion will be a disaster.Moreover, Shendu is not without troops at the moment. Although the Nanya is a little chaotic, the tens of thousands of troops in the Beiya can directly cross Hebei to meet the Turks.

But as soon as this proposal was put forward, it was opposed by people.

"Beiya Wanqi has a newly formed army. They are not suitable for battle. They don't have any armor yet. The laborers are shocked and rush out to meet them. It may be gratifying to win. However, the Turkic bandit army has been screaming in Monan for many years. Once the fighting momentum is slightly If it goes against people's wishes, the aftermath will be even greater, especially the disaster..."

Jiang Xi, the supervisor in the palace and the Duke of the Kingdom of Yi, raised his hand and said that he disapproved of the new army of Beiya being dispatched easily.

Emperor Li Dan originally had the idea of ​​ordering the Beiya new army to attack, but when he heard what Duke Yi said, he was startled in his heart.This year's Daoxingtai in Shaanxi has gathered tens of thousands of soldiers, which has already made people in the capital of Shendu suspicious. The new army of Beiya is the only force that can deter both inside and outside.

Once Wanqi is transferred from the capital under such circumstances, regardless of the outcome of the victory, at least the emperor's control over the court will be defeated again.

"What the Lord of the Kingdom of Yi said is true, ten thousand riders are newly accomplished, and they should not be moved lightly. Is there no one in the country who only depends on the new recruits to calm down in case of chaos?"

When it came to this, the emperor's tone was already a bit displeased.When the officials heard the words, they were all awe-inspiring, so they didn't dare to discuss this further.

"Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province will perform martial arts in Beijing this year, and several prefectures in Heshuo will set up heavy brigades and fortifications. Kuang Mochuo's troops from the Western Army frighten away wandering souls. If troops from Shaanxi Province are sent..."

After a while of silence, someone spoke again.

However, before he could finish his words, Wang Xiaojie had already stamped his feet and snorted coldly: "Could it be that the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty all exaggerate their talents? Whenever the country is in danger, it is His Royal Highness Yong. If things go on like this, we will wait Can the courtiers avoid the ridicule of stealing salary?"

Li Dan frowned when he heard someone suggested that the Xingtai send troops.The imperial court managed to compress King Yong's power to the west of Tongguan. If the Western Army is allowed to march again, then the Hedong Road will still be owned by the imperial court in the coming year?

Hearing Wang Xiaojie's words, the emperor's brows relaxed slightly, and he felt that since this guy returned to the capital, this sentence was the best.

"The reason why the imperial court maintains permanent armaments is that they must fight in the face of danger. Is it because of the old and the new? Once the bandits are corrupted again, even if they are young, they will inevitably suffer from the disaster of swords and soldiers. Wanqi has been raging at the North Gate recently, and everyone in the city has heard of it. At the foot of Beimang Mountain Even if the fish and turtles are restless in the water, and the jackdaws and birds dare not perch on the branches, how can there be any reason to be timid in the face of such a military calamity? I invite the Dian army to attack, and all the thieves will be wiped out in the mountains and rivers!"

When Wang Xiaojie saw the emperor's eyes of approval, he couldn't help but be encouraged, and once again clasped his fists in begging for his life.

Li Dan's face darkened immediately after hearing the words, his eyes left Wang Xiaojie's body, and he never looked at him again.

The Beiman new army should not go out lightly, and the Xingtaixi army should not be condoned, but the Turkic invaders must always be met.After some discussion, a preliminary compromise was formed in the court. Li Huaiyuan, the servant of Huangmen under the door, was appointed as the chief commander of the Shuofang Road march, and the guards and officials and slaves of the various prefectures in the capital were sent to the north to cross the river on the same day. The regiments of the states of Hedong Road practiced to encircle and kill the Turkic bandit army.

The prime minister attacked the Turks as a commander, showing that the imperial court attached great importance to this military disaster.But if it stops here, it is still not enough to show the majesty of the court.

After all, after Mochuo lost to Hequ, this time he made a comeback but did not dare to violate the Xingtai defense zone, but launched an offensive from Monan Yunzhong.This tactical choice undoubtedly shows the inner attitude of the bandit chieftain who is afraid of Xingtai and underestimates the imperial court, and must be severely beaten.

Therefore, in addition to Li Huaiyuan's army, the emperor appointed the governor of Youzhou as the chief commander of Shanyudao's marching army, and added the ambassadors of the fifteen prefectures of Hebei, and the regiments of the Hebei states practiced martial arts and marched to Monan. , Li Ting sweeping acupoints, with this battle, the Turks have no place to stand in Monan!

Once the plan was formed and the order was communicated, the entire imperial court in Shendu was also mobilized.Although the Wanqi new army could not be dispatched easily, the force in the capital was also considerable. There were almost no soldiers to go out in the Nanya, and the left and right Yulin armies gathered into a brigade of [-] soldiers.

At the same time, the edict to recruit the capital Ji Jianyong and official slaves was also quickly implemented, and soon the news of the Turkic invasion spread throughout the entire city of God.

"The Turks are invading again? Wasn't it already wiped out by King Yong in Hequ earlier?"

Because of the execution of various orders and the dispatch of troops, the folk customs in the entire city of God became tense.Since the revolution in Shendu earlier, although the people in Duji were quite disturbed, they only heard that there were frequent reports of victory in Shaanxi Province. After a few years, the war is quite far away for them.

"In the battle of Hequ, only the Turkic king's camp was killed, but this time it was the Nanya thieves."

Someone asks a question, and those who know it take the trouble to explain it.

"What's the difference between Nanya and Wangzhang? Aren't they all gangsters?"

"The Turkic king's tent is under the control of the Anbei Dadu Hufu, and Nanya is under the rule of the Shanyu Dadu Hufu. His Royal Highness Yong Wang is only the Anbei Dadu Hufu, not Shanyu Dadu."

"Then why don't His Royal Highness King Yong also be appointed as the Protector of Shan Yu Dadu? His Royal Highness Yong Wang has made outstanding achievements and is well known to all. Why bother two people for this matter? Shaanxi has its own strong armor, so why should the court bother people to recruit them?"

Relevant discussions filled Fangqu, and besides the uproar, there were also many personnel adjustments within the imperial court.In the political affairs hall, after Prime Minister Li Huaiyuan left for the expedition, two more people took over as Prime Minister, Sun Yuanheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Zhang Xi, the former prime minister who was expelled in the early years.

Zhang Jianzhi, the censor Zhongcheng, was appointed as the governor of Huaizhou to assist Shan Yudao in marching to prepare money and food in Hebei.In this series of personnel transfers, Wei Sili, the younger brother of Wei Chengqing, the Minister of Zhongshu, was appointed as the governor of Ruzhou, who was in charge of all matters related to water transportation in Huainan.

Chapter 0748 Linhe Buwu, waiting for time to advance

When Shendu Chaotang was overwhelmed by the incident of Turkic mochu, Chang'an Xingtai also received the relevant letter, even a few days earlier than Shendu Chaotang's official channel.

Although the counties and counties of Hedong Road are not under the jurisdiction of Xingtai, they have very close exchanges with each other.Especially when the Shendu imperial court deliberately suppressed the import of water transport from the Yellow River to the Guanzhong, the Hedong Road was one of the most important passages for the entry and exit of materials in the Guanzhong.

Buduxingtai organized a large-scale purchasing team to be active among the states and counties of Hedong Road, and the wealthy families in Hedong also actively participated in the business affairs in the pass.In particular, there was the attraction of the World Expo before this year, and there was a plan to build the Three Shoucheng City later, which made the personnel and material exchanges between Guanzhong and Hedong closer.

Therefore, when the traces of the Turkic rebel army appeared in the northern area of ​​​​Hedong Road, relevant information was transmitted to Chang'an almost immediately.

Compared with the stressful panic after the Shendu court heard the news, Chang'an Xingtai was much calmer in accepting and handling the news. Whether it was the discussion of related events or the implementation of coping strategies, they were all orderly.

But not everyone is so calm and unhurried, at least His Royal Highness King Yong was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother after learning about it.

The season has entered the middle of winter, and although several heavy snowfalls have brought considerable troubles to the transportation of people and goods in various places, causing some business operations to come to a standstill, the platform itself has established a fairly solid logistics foundation, which is enough to withstand considerable risk.

Taking advantage of the income-generating aftermath of the World Expo, many government-made factories were expanded before the deep winter. During the winter slack season, many people from the workshops and surrounding countryside were recruited to produce charcoal materials, felt tents and other seasonal items to keep out the cold.Therefore, the people did not lose their livelihoods, and the materials produced not only met the consumption of Chang'an and the surrounding border areas, but also continuously transported northward to support the military and civilians in Hequ.

Although tens of thousands of armored soldiers gathered in Gyeonggi before the snowfall, which put a lot of pressure on the supply of materials in Gyeonggi, it also reduced the pressure on the prefectures and counties.

This year Zhuzhou and counties wantonly expand their households and accept refugees, and it coincides with the severe winter and the near disaster of snow millet. The regiments of the prefectures and counties gather in Gyeonggi, and this part of the material consumption for raising the army can be saved and used to provide relief for new workers. The attachment of dead households has prevented large-scale frost and starvation disasters in all the states in the pass.

Although the heavy snow is hard to bear, when the spring warms up in the coming year, the snow will melt and moisten the soil, and the plowing and plowing in the coming year can be expected.Coupled with the timely and effective relief from the local governments, although the people's livelihood in the entire Guannei Road cannot be called Yan Ran, it can also ensure the maintenance of order.

Although Chang'an City has a large number of people, it is not rich in supplies, and even various unnecessary expenses in Yongwang's Mansion have been reduced a lot.But compared to the previous years when he was away in the army, this year he was able to stay at home, accompanied by his family, and occasionally went to the workshop to eat a few warm and soft meals. Li Tong's time during this period can be called quite comfortable .

The most direct manifestation of this comfort is the fact that the wives and concubines in the house are pregnant one after another, each feeling pregnant and expecting to give birth.Li Tong was also very pleased about this, and when he went in and out, he often had a simple smile like an old farmer on his face.In the past years, everything was busy, and there was very little leisure time. Once there is enough room for development, this little motor of mine is also very impressive.
