Although the crown prince agreed to the request to conquer Luozhou again, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were already frightened by the big fall of the King of Yan's party last time.
Even if the emperor recovered from his illness and was furious again, no one dared to obey the holy will and stand up to fight. To be on the safe side, everyone unanimously advised to appease instead of fighting.
The crown prince personally explained at the court meeting: The last crusade did not fail, but because of the urgent military situation of the Tatar raid, the army that conquered Luozhou returned to Beijing halfway.
The major mistake of the last campaign was the wrong deployment of troops. Now the Sichuan-Guizhou region has recruited a large number of local militiamen. The chances of winning this time are much greater than the previous time when we took the northwest cavalry to fight in the mountains.
There was still silence in the court, and even some of the King Yan's party, who were rushing to surrender to the prince, did not dare to take the blame again. The first pre-war mobilization failed.
After the court, Mr. Li Ge immediately asked to see him in Xiyuan.
Xie Duo was already standing at the door waiting for him.
After dismissing the attendants, Elder Li Ge immediately asked Xie Duo why he agreed to King Yan's request to lead the army.
Under the current situation, how can it be guaranteed that King Yan will not bring these more than [-] officers and soldiers and tens of thousands of militiamen to the Luozhou chieftain to jointly rebel.
At that time, Luozhou will have an advantage in terrain, and will have a lot of combat power that is familiar with the terrain and good at mountain warfare. Once it separates one side, it will be as solid as gold.
Li Ge's analysis was clear and sound, but Xie Duo only asked him: "Do you know Xie Guang? Do you know how those militiamen hate the natives of Luozhou? Do you know Zhang Mushan, chieftain of Luozhou?"
Three questions left Mr. Li Ge speechless.
Of course he understands King Yan's character, even if he dies, it is impossible to treason and stand on his own feet in this way.
The militia recruited locally are all weak tribal youths who have been looted, burned and killed by Luozhou bandits for many years. The hatred for the natives of Luozhou is irreconcilable, and it is impossible to choose to join the enemy and resist the more powerful court.
And Luozhou chieftain Zhang Mushan, in order to become the local emperor, risked his entire family's life to fight against the imperial court, how could he bear the prince of Chu occupying his lair and riding on his head?
The prince is not easy to fool, he can think things through.
Li Ge thought for a moment, then said in a low voice: "What do you think of this victory, Your Highness?"
"More than seventy percent."
"In this way, the king of Yan may make a great contribution, which is only slightly inferior to His Highness's great cause of ambushing the Tartars to save the country from danger."
"What is Mr. Ge worried about?" Xie Duo looked at him calmly: "Father has appointed me as the heir, not to mention that the sixth brother is only going to fight on behalf of the emperor again, to fight for the soldiers who died in vain last time, and the commander has someone else , why do you have to worry about Sixth Brother gaining such military merit?"
Old Li Ge said in a deep voice: "The old minister is only worried that the King of Yan's party will revive with this little military merit. Your Highness, I think that the battle can be fought, but the military merit cannot let the King of Yan get involved."
Xie Duo took two steps forward, bowed his head closer, and said softly: "Old Ge, this battle will last at least five months, and Sixth Brother will leave Beijing for about half a year. Wood? Where will there be ashes?"
Li Ge's eyes flashed, he thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Your Highness has far-sighted plans, I'm afraid the emperor may not agree."
Xie Duo frowned and lowered his head, "Let me persuade Father."
The emperor slept longer and longer every day.
The imperial physician confessed to Xie Duo privately: the undischarged toxins may have corroded the viscera, and it is impossible to restore it to the original state. As for how long it can last, the imperial physician dare not speak out.
After Xie Duo was busy with government affairs, he would often move an armchair and sit by the bed, watching the sleeping father on the dragon bed. He would sit all afternoon and leave before dark.
Most of the emperor would only wake up for a moment in the middle of the night, so these days, the number of times he could talk to Xie Duo was no more than three times.
Except for the first meeting when he woke up, the emperor mentioned Xie Duo's life experience and the throne and other major events. After that, every time he woke up, he would grab the first person he saw and ask, "Will she come?"
Elder Li Ge told Xie Duo that the emperor wanted to see his biological mother again, and had sent three of his confidants to Jiangnan, begging her to come to Beijing to visit.
Xie Duo didn't want to know any old things about his biological mother, but he had never seen a powerful father so cautiously begging to see someone, even if he didn't know if he would live to tomorrow, he didn't take coercive measures.
This made Xie Duo very curious, and couldn't help asking what happened between his biological mother and his father.
Mr. Li Ge didn't dare to disclose too much of the inside story, he only talked about the event that led to the complete break between the emperor and the Yang family - changing sons.
Not long after Xie Duo was born, the emperor sent someone to steal the baby and bring it into the Queen's Palace.
The queen was comatose after giving birth and had never seen her own son, so she didn't notice the abnormality, but Yang could tell at a glance that the fragile premature baby in the swaddle was not her own son.
Everything was out of control. Yang, a smart, arrogant and free-spirited beauty, lost her son and used all kinds of tricks such as intimidation, sex, and assassination to break into the palace.
But the emperor told her that it was impossible for her son to return, and if the harem was disturbed and publicized, Yang's son's life would be in jeopardy.
After that, Yang went on a hunger strike, no matter how angry or begged the emperor, she only wanted to die.
The person who saved her life in the end was the queen's son.
That day, shortly after the maid poured porridge and soup to the unconscious Yang, Yang woke up in a daze.
She was awakened by the crying of a baby outside the door. After becoming a mother, she seemed to be particularly sensitive to such sounds.
In a trance, thinking that her son was hungry, she panicked and supported the edge of the bed and the wall, groped all the way out, and went to the east chamber to feed the infant baby.
Since then, it is not known whether Yang is sober or completely insane.
She regarded the child as her own son, and took good care of him every day, but she didn't call him "A Duo", only "Hui'er".
She named the child "Yang Hui'er", and when she was confinement, she hugged the child and tried several times to slip out of the cage that the emperor built for her, but she was caught back.
The emperor's obsession with the Yang family at that time is unimaginable now.
Seeing Yang's increasingly thin and haggard face, the emperor finally took the initiative to let go, asking her to accept his support and protection at the cost of not seeing her for life.
Knowing this old incident, Xie Duo's mood became more complicated. He found that he had not only let his mother suppress his hatred for so many years, but also brought so much pain to his biological mother when he was born.
He asked Elder Li Ge if Mrs. Yang had asked to go back to Beijing to meet him in private.
Mr. Li Ge euphemistically expressed that he was not clear about this matter.
Obviously, Yang has completely abandoned her own son and devoted herself to taking care of her adopted son Yang Hui'er.
In contrast, the queen did not want to thank her adopted son.
This fact made Xie Duo feel even more worthless. No one in this world seemed to have expectations of him, and no one was waiting for him to go home.
What about Han Jiao?
Xie Duo couldn't be sure, he liked Han Jiao so much that he couldn't tell whether Han Jiao's words were true or not.
But at least the happiness when we are together is real, Han Jiao's embrace is the only refuge he can escape from the pain, even if it is false, he dare not tear up the only happy dream.
Facing the big boss whose expression became more and more frozen day by day, Han Jiao's head was filled with question marks.
He was wondering if the big boss was depressed because of the disharmony of sex life last time.
For this reason, Han Jiao showed his old face, put on a bamboo hat covering his face, and went to the pharmacy to ask what plaster should be used for men's sexual intercourse.
Bought three bottles of ointment in one go and returned to the mansion, with a heart of death, planning to make the big boss happy tonight.
However, Xie Duo didn't make that request. He finished his dinner sullenly, took a bath, and picked him up to rest on the second floor.
After Han Jiao's "holiday" ended, he learned that the imperial court was planning to conquer Luozhou again, and that King Yan would go on behalf of the emperor again.
Is the big boss worrying about this these days?
It shouldn't be, the God of War boss can't worry about anything about fighting.
Han Jiao wanted to ask King Yan about the situation in person, but immediately dropped this dangerous idea.
He didn't dare to show too much concern about King Yan in front of Xie Duo.
I can only listen to the discussions of my colleagues.
The colleagues in the Imperial Academy have different opinions, but most of them are not very optimistic about King Yan's battle this time.
After all, 400 elite Chu elites were lost in the last battle, but less than [-] rebels were killed or injured in Luozhou. This time there is no elite cavalry from the Northwest, and a group of militiamen will go to crusade. A miserable victory is the best result. As for the worst As a result, everyone tacitly made eye contact.
These pessimistic predictions made Han Jiao a little worried, and he went to his father and Lin Weng to discuss in private.
Master Han was very dissatisfied with the decision to conquer Luozhou again. He believed that the previous number of [-] vs. [-] killed in battle had already explained the problem.
As for Lin Weng, he told Han Jiao euphemistically that King Yan's invitation to fight this time was probably instigated by the prince, which was very irrational.
It seems that everyone feels that this battle cannot be won.
Those who think more shallowly think that the king of Yan is acting on his will, and those who think more deeply think that the prince wants to take the opportunity to completely overthrow the King Yan party.
But Han Jiao felt that these two guesses were unreliable.
Because Xie Duo felt that if he could win the battle, it was impossible to lose. Xie Duo was not a person who was willing to spend a lot of money to bring down his political opponents. Since he agreed to let King Yan go to war, he should be sure of this battle.
Not only Han Jiao thought so, but Zhang Mushan, the chieftain far away in Luozhou, was also extremely disturbed.
It was thought that the imperial court, which returned without success at the cost of [-] casualties, would completely give up conquering Luozhou by force.
Unexpectedly, the governor of Sichuan and Guizhou not only did not come to offer material comfort to him, but instead strengthened his defense, and even sent envoys to send stamped documents, showing a tough attitude of declaring war at any time.
This made the arrogant Zhang Mushan a little bit guilty, he knew that the person who will be in power recently is the Ninth Prince Xie Duo.
This man wiped out all the Tatar cavalry with his astonishing fighting power with zero casualties, and he has already become a god-like existence among the people. If he personally led troops to attack Luozhou, Zhang Mushan would have no idea.
Because Zhang Mushan's ancestors also united with other tribes in troubled times to fight against Tatar plunder, and they never failed miserably and retreated to their nests.
∵Their people can't beat the Tatars
Tatars can't defeat Xie Duo
∴ Their tribe can't beat Xie Duo
Although he has never been to school, Zhang Mushan can still solve such a simple proof problem.
If the God of War Prince personally came out to fight him, he planned to give in and settle down for a while.
Therefore, the subordinates who came to Zhang Mushan in the past two days to reprimand the governor of Sichuan and Guizhou for their rampant provocation were all comforted by Zhang Mushan. He planned not to tear himself apart for the time being, and sent someone to find out who the general who led the army this time was. .
