My country is dead again [Rebirth]

On the thirtieth year of the new year, a banquet is given in the palace, and the monarch and ministers have fun together to celebrate the New Year. The palace banquet begins at three o'clock in the afternoon, and it is not until the end of the unitary hour. After eating a meal, Shen Ci stayed in the palace to watch the year with Xie Ruzhuo.

In previous years, the court opened on the fifth day of the lunar new year. This year, Xie Ruzhuo sympathized with everyone’s hard work. It was postponed to the eighth day of the lunar new year. Dayu was far from the time when everyone could spend their days leisurely. Therefore, within a few days of the opening of the court, the atmosphere was tense again, and there were always discussions. done.

Years ago, Sun Bingde convened the six ministries to make advance payments for the six ministries this year according to the new policy. Xie Ruzhuo had already seen it. In the first year, Sun Bingde was indeed ruthless. The money was collected very tightly, almost every copper coin was lost. To use it wisely, Liubu and Sun Bingde wrangled for several months, but in the end they were tidied up and their belts were tightened honestly. At least for now, it seems that no one dares to play tricks. How to implement it is another matter. something happened.

Today's Dayu is fighting every year, and the Ministry of War has undoubtedly taken the bulk of it, but compared to previous years, it is still much less. The military expenditure in northern Xinjiang has shrunk by half, and the military expenditure for the southern expedition this year has also been reduced by one-third. He raised his dissatisfaction, and even tried to get the emperor who is close to the military forces to support him, but Sun Bingde had been prepared for a long time, and he used both soft and hard tactics. On the one hand, he never let go, and on the other hand, he appeased the military department. , the Ministry of War couldn't resist Sun Bingde, and thought that if the real money was not enough, His Majesty would not sit idly by, so he stopped talking.

Dayu has now basically decided to go to war after the summer. Before that, it was a rule to prepare for the war, and Xu Zishen's side is also like this every year. Therefore, the Ministry of War is very busy before the summer, and the official department must pay attention to it. Drawing maps also takes care of the daily drills of the three major battalions, and the arsenal cleansing department has to arrange the supply of weapons, and how to do it depends on the imperial court's battle plan.

In order to handle things better, the Ministry of War has recently been urging Xie Ruzhuo to quickly decide where to fight this year and set up a battle plan. Xie Ruzhuo had already made a decision in his heart, and said without much hesitation: "It is not convenient for us to attack Jiangbei now. If Xu Zishen makes a surprise attack Hengchuan or Ningya, we have to take care of Jiangbei and turn back to rescue Hengchuan or Ningya, so it is easy to be overwhelmed. It is better to attack Chizhou directly, Hengchuan and Ningya send troops to garrison, in case Xu Zishen retreats south, blocking Xu Zishen in Chizhou and cannot escape body, first take Pingdu to take the shame of the snow day, and then slowly restore Jiangbei, Jiangnan, Shuzhong and Lingnan."

Many people in the court have already guessed that the emperor will attack Chizhou first. No matter how you look at it, this is indeed a safer way. If Chizhou is taken, Suifang, Chizhou, Hengchuan and Ningya can also be connected together. Jiangbei, Jiangnan and other places can be gradually mapped.

This is something that the Ministry of War must be concerned about, so Han Zhen still paid attention to it, and frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, although the soldiers and horses of the three major battalions now exceed one hundred thousand, they must be stationed in Hengchuan and Ningya, and the rest It may not be enough to play Chizhou."

Xie Ruzhuo nodded and said: "I know that Ning Ya's King Yan hasn't finished cleaning up yet. No matter what, I will let Wu Xianrong borrow troops again. The three major battalions stay in the capital with [-] people, and Hengchuan and Chizhou are divided. It is indeed not enough. .”

"Then is your Majesty going to recruit troops or... ask Beijiang to borrow troops again?" Han Zhen and Sun Bingde exchanged glances, "Actually, it is not impossible to borrow troops from Beijiang. Wu Xianrong borrowed troops from us to benefit, others It must be seen that we have opened conditions, and there is still room for negotiation with them."

Xie Ruzhuo smiled quietly, knowing that the cabinet wanted to attack Pei Yuankai again, and it was to seize every opportunity to negotiate with Pei Yuankai and cultivate his own military power.

But if this matter is considered carefully, it is really a good way to ask Pei Yuankai to borrow troops, and the possibility of success is very high.

Since the reorganization of the Weisuo, Pei Yuankai's power in Suifang has shrunk by half. Later, the court's attitude towards him was as light as it could be. After Cangzhou withdrew from the war, Xie Ruzhuo even regarded Pei Yuankai as a dead person. He likes to ignore matters big and small, and Pei Yuankai rarely appears in Xie Ruzhuo's mouth. It seems that there is no sign of easing the relationship, and it is impossible for Pei Yuankai to take advantage of the court.Wu Xianrong, Song Qingge, and the others will have some forces in the capital. This is an inevitable relationship. Xie Ruzhuo will not move, but they are strictly guarding against Pei Yuankai's forces in the capital. Most of them have been squeezed out of important positions. The benefits obtained, now there are only five words "don't even think about it".

The other three chief soldiers are all good people, and they all know how to deal with the relationship with the court. They have seen the court's attitude towards Pei Yuankai early on, and they also respect Pei Yuankai at a distance. At the beginning, Hua Yangjiao's strategy was to "join the vertical Lian Heng, break down one by one", it can be said that the goal has been basically achieved at the moment, Pei Yuankai, who was the strongest in the past, is alone and helpless.

Xie Ruzhuo guessed that Pei Yuankai was also a little anxious, and the cabinet naturally understood it, and wanted to use this to make a fuss and gain benefits for himself.If the imperial court really sets conditions for Pei Yuankai this time, there is a [-]% chance that Pei Yuankai will agree to cooperate. Isolation and helplessness are not what Pei Yuankai wants. A useless piece of chess, which is obviously not a good thing.

Therefore, Pei Yuankai also needed a chance for the imperial court to negotiate with him. If there was a negotiation, it meant that the imperial court still couldn't do without him and needed him, and he could take the opportunity to reap the benefits and win back the city.

But Xie Ruzhuo will not give him this chance, the current active position is with him, and it is up to the court to decide whether to negotiate or not.

"Who is Mr. Han Ge referring to? Pei Yuankai?" Xie Ruzhuo said, "The Cangzhou army can ignore the people of Cangzhou, how dare I use his troops? If the troops retreat before they start beating him, who can I ask for reason?"

The emperor seemed to mean something, but in fact he was playing a rascal. He made it clear that "there is no way to get Pei Yuankai's idea." Sun Bingde also frowned.

"Then His Majesty intends to recruit troops? The population of Suifang is not large, and military households account for a large part. The effect of recruiting troops is bound to be insignificant. However, Hengchuan and Ningya have just experienced wars and the population has decreased. Many young and middle-aged people have left the two places to go. After entering Jiangnan and Shuzhong, there will not be too ideal results." Sun Bingde said slowly, "Besides, recruiting soldiers is not something that can be completed in a short time. Borrowing troops from northern Xinjiang is the fastest and most effective way."

Xie Ruzhuo remained silent, Han Zhen and Sun Bingde cooperated, and continued: "Your Majesty and the Song family have a close relationship, but we have borrowed soldiers from the Song family many times, and this time the borrowing of soldiers will take a long time. He may not agree, even if he agrees, there is no guarantee that he will not mention some bad conditions. Besides, compared with the Pei family, the Song family's soldiers and horses are still inferior. To fight Chizhou, you must have good soldiers and good horses, and the Pei family is the best suitable."

"Isn't there still Qi Junmao?" Xie Ruzhuo said calmly, "Qi Junmao must want less than Pei Yuankai. I ask Song Qingge to borrow some, and then I ask Qi Junmao to borrow some. I have to ask Pei Yuankai?"

Sun Bingde immediately retorted: "Qi Junmao will not borrow troops. He doesn't like to meddle in the court's affairs. He avoids them if he can. What he wants is to live in peace. It may not be smooth sailing for the court to fight Chizhou. He will not take risks. made."

What Xie Ruzhuo said earlier was just to show his attitude and make the cabinet give up. Unexpectedly, Sun Bingde was also serious about this matter, and he ruthlessly said the words to death. Xie Ruzhuo was so angry that his chest was tight.

Sun Bingde thought that Xie Ruzhuo would hold on to the Song family this time, but Xie Ruzhuo remained silent for a moment with a gloomy face, and then said: "Let me think about this matter again, let's retreat first."

Several people in the cabinet were a little surprised. They looked at each other and felt that there was a big problem with this matter. Isn't the emperor very close to the Song family?It's impossible for Qi Junmao not to cooperate with Pei Yuankai, so they have to hold on to Song Qingge so as to dissuade them from looking for the Pei family?

But the emperor hesitated, looking at his expression with a bit of reluctance, which is a bit intriguing. Could it be that the intimacy with the Song family before was an illusion?

Xie Ruzhuo, who left the Chongzheng Hall, was also thinking about this matter. His best way to deal with it before was indeed to grasp Song Qingge's life-saving straw, and he knew that He Xiaoman had reported Song Qing's coming and going to see Hua Yangjiao years ago. Song Qingge will definitely agree, and maybe he will take the initiative to find the court to cooperate. After all, only by sending troops can the Song family take the opportunity to dig a sum of money from the court. This is what Song Qingge needs most, but in the end he still did not speak out.

It wasn't that he was on guard against Song Qingge, nor that he didn't want to give money to the Song family, but when he thought that Song Qingge was going to fight Chizhou, his heart skipped a beat, his head was buzzing, there seemed to be blood floating in front of his eyes, and he was suffocating.

He hastily retreated and walked on the road for a while before slowly recovering.

In the previous life, they fought Chizhou later than now. In this life, their progress has been accelerated by more than half, but the predicament is the same in the previous life and now. It is not enough to attack Chizhou after dividing half of the three battalions into defenders. He asked the Pei family to borrow soldiers, and he was much more wary of Wu Xianrong than in this life, and finally he found Song Qingge, and Song Qingge was also very active out of interest considerations.

Then there was an accident, Song Qingge disappeared in Chizhou, the news spread back to Lezhou that Song Qingge rebelled and took refuge in Xu Zishen, and even the evidence was conclusive.

He naturally didn't believe it, but for three whole years, there was no news of Song Qingge, and Jin Yiwei and Dongchang searched the capital like crazy for three years before finally finding out the truth of the matter. What a horrible person.

In the past three years, this man stayed in the capital peacefully, with almost no flaws. He still worked hard in the court every day, and he was in a high position and had the trust of the emperor, so he wiped away all traces very early.

When they found out the truth of the matter, they had almost returned to Pingdu. Fortunately, they found out the truth at that time and did not let Hua Yangjiao, a lunatic, succeed in his final plan, otherwise all efforts would be in vain.

But Song Qingge is still dead. He died three years ago. He didn't want to sacrifice his life for Xu Zishen. I heard that Xu Zishen didn't want to kill him, but the Jiangbei family didn't understand the morality of a gentleman like Xu Zishen. If he couldn't be used by them, he would kill him of course. They carried Xu Zishen's hands behind their backs.

In the end, Xu Zishen collected Song Qingge's body. When Xu Zishen evacuated Chizhou, they found Song Qingge's body. Unfortunately, Song Qinglai was no longer there, but fortunately, Song Qinglai would have gone crazy.

Xie Ruzhuo didn't dare to look at it, but He Xiaoman did, and told him that he had examined Song Qingge's bones, that he had been tortured during his lifetime, that his leg bones and hand bones were broken, his eyes were gone, and his teeth were almost broken.

That was the most self-blaming and painful thing in his previous life besides Shen Ci, because he mistrusted Hua Yangjiao and killed Song Qingge and Song Qinglai. He dared to go to Shen Ci after his death, but he never dared to go Seeing the two brothers of the Song family, he was ashamed to see them.

Both Shen Ci and He Xiaoman comforted him, saying that it was not his fault, that so many people hadn't seen through Hua Yangjiao's true colors, that he was not a god, and he couldn't ask for everything to be according to his own wishes. There is always a time when you realize that you are a mortal after all.

To live a new life, the regrets he must make up for are Shen Ci and the Song family.

The root of the tragedy in the previous life was that he trusted Hua Yangjiao too much, and gave him power and convenience, so that he couldn't find out later. Therefore, in this life, he prevented Hua Yangjiao from climbing to a high position from the very beginning, and even more so. It is impossible to let him touch the power of the Ministry of War.

But he still can't rest assured that Hua Yangjiao still has many strange things, so even though the time has changed, once the Song family gets involved with Chizhou, he will still have a bad feeling.

Thinking that Song Qingge would take the initiative to come to him when he heard the news from the court, and how he would refuse would be reasonable. Once he rejected Song Qingge, where would he go to find enough soldiers to attack Chizhou, one by one. It gave him a splitting headache.

Instead of torturing myself and thinking about these complicated things all day long so that I can't sleep, it's better to go out and relax. Tomorrow is the nineteenth day of the first lunar month. Xie Ruzhuo went back and arranged some things, waiting to leave the palace and meet Shen Ci to go to Nangu tomorrow morning.

Although he was very tired and depressed with something in his heart, he managed to force a smile when he thought of tomorrow, at least on the day when Shen Ci was crowned, he had to pretend to be happy.

The author has something to say: Xiaoxie’s thinking about Hua Yangjiao in this life can be understood as that the more a person is in the center of power, the more he can do more things and get in touch with more secrets. Once a silent rebellion is devastating Strike, refer to the kind of high-level rebellion in spy war dramas.So once he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of well ropes, he chose to exclude Hua Yangjiao from the center of power. Of course, there are no loopholes in this approach, but Xiao Fusu's simple mind believes that this is in line with normal logic. Besides, he can't just kill Hua Yangjiao. Killing people without reason is too tyrant's behavior, so don't be too harsh on us Xiaoxie, he is not a god, but a mortal.Of course, in this life, Song Qingge and Song Qinglai really won't die. For the hundredth time, Song Qinglai will take He Xiaoman home!
