Prince of the Red Chamber wins rebirth

The three of them laughed together, and all the depression of these days was swept away.

After laughing, Lin Ruhai said sternly: "A few days ago, I received rumors that the Northern Expedition Army might be in some trouble, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to return to the army for a while."

The defense of the capital is weak, with only two troops, it is difficult to prevent some emergencies.

There are usually five armies in the capital, and one is stationed in the camp in the north of Beijing. The previous commander was Yang Jinghua, who was Yang Mu's grandfather and Wang Zisheng's grandfather.The current commander has only two deputies, who are directly in charge of the Holy Majesty.

The second branch is Jingnan Daying, but it can be regarded as disabled. The former commander is the eldest brother of the princess.After the accident, this person pleaded guilty to prove his innocence. Although the Holy Majesty did not pursue it, he did not trust him anymore.

At present, Jiao Er, an upstart in the DPRK and China, takes over, but of course it is only a real name.

The third branch, which is in the hands of Admiral Jiumen, is currently under the jurisdiction of Wang Zisheng's father and is responsible for the security of the capital.

The fourth branch, which can be regarded as nameless now, is the Feather Guard Army of the abolished prince, but most of them died in the liquidation of the Holy One.

The fifth branch is the Northern Expedition Army led by Crazy Zuo, which can also be said to be the direct line of the Holy Majesty, and also the most elite army of the Holy Majesty and even the entire court.

Calculated in this way, in fact, the capital does not have many soldiers that can be used.

Needless to say, the admiral of the Nine Gates is looking at the city gate and catching a thief.It's really a big deal, at most it's a pile of cannon fodder.

The only ones that have really been established and can be pulled out are the Beijing North Camp, but there are only more than [-] people at full count.

But the number of private soldiers in the hands of local vassal kings is more than this, and far more than that.

This is not the point, the point is that the vassal kings have entered the capital in the name of King Qin.And it's not just one person, they all brought a lot of soldiers, and the fief also began to prepare troops and horses, actively preparing food and grass.

Even the aristocratic families in Yanzi, Guangdong have started to stop, ready to move.

Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the success or failure of the Northern Expedition Army is closely related to the dragon chair of the Holy One.

If the Northern Expedition Army can win outside the Great Wall, and then return to the court to help.

This is a time difference. As long as everything can be settled before the vassal kings enter the capital, these vassal kings will naturally bow their heads and surrender.

Yang Mu looked at the snow outside the window, "Oh! This is one aspect, and on the other hand, everyone doesn't know what the Holy One wants, so how can Chaozhong have the heart to do things well?"

Lin Ruhai frowned and said, "The Holy Majesty has been quitting the court recently. I heard that he has conferred the title of an outsider, calling him an 'immortal teacher'. He has ordered the Ministry of Rites to draw up a title. Today, the Ministry of Rites presented the title. The Holy Majesty It was dismissed as not grand enough.”

Jia She asked curiously: "Could it be possible that he is more respected by the royal family than the immortal master of Qingxu Temple?"

Lin Ruhai replied: "It's more than it is. At least it's like this on the title. The Holy Majesty personally delineated the word '正', and the Ministry of Rites is arguing."

You must know that the word "zheng" can only be used by the masters of the Qingxu Temple in the past. This is also a kind of reward from the royal family. life.

In this way, the status of Qingxu Temple has also been achieved. It can be said that it has been echoed by Taoism. In the capital, anyone who wants to pray for blessings and is a little bit ranked will definitely come to Qingxu Temple.Even the harem concubines of the past dynasties, whenever they were able to go out of the palace to pray for blessings, they always came here and took it as an honor.

It has been a few years since Taizu established the country, and there is a certain reason why the concept of Qingxu can last for a long time. Every time the court shuffles the cards, the concept of Qingxu will either sit on the sidelines or not make a move. It is the winner, and people also jokingly call Qingxu Temple "Qianlong Temple".

Even the aristocratic families in the capital are willing to follow, and some say "follow and there will be meat to eat", even if the emperor's succession to the throne was so smooth, he also has a credit for Qingxuguan.

Jia Amnesty asked, "The result?"

Lin Ruhai spread his hands, "The Ministry of Rites is already arguing, if it weren't for the many things at this stage, with the temperament of Mr. Li, he would have the heart to cry in front of the Holy One."

Jia Amnesty sneered and said, "It's not a big deal, is it?" All kinds of affairs in court are more important than this.

"The problem is that the Holy Majesty didn't publish the rest of the scriptures, and he didn't tell the courtiers to go to the palace to see him. He only cared about this matter. There are also rumors that a pagoda will be built for this immortal master to observe the stars." Lin Ruhai was helpless. Said: "Where is the spare money in the court, the food and grass ahead are tight, the weather in various places is weird, it seems to be a year of catastrophe, really..."

Speaking of the front, I couldn't help but think of Wang Zisheng, and I don't know what happened to him.

At this time, Wang Zisheng was still worried in the army, and a group of elders were sitting in the tent of the Chinese army, listening to the introduction of the situation by the adjutant of Zuo Crazy, each of them was frowning.

At the beginning, I thought that the Khan of the Tatars would be killed by a sneak attack first, and then the Tatars must be fighting for power and profit. At this time, they took advantage of the chaos to win over some grassroots, and then they were canonized by the court to weaken their strength.

In addition, by poisoning, to be precise, the plague, the dead bodies of plague and smallpox were thrown into the river outside the tribe of the Tatars, and then spread through people drinking water.As soon as spring begins, the Tatars can spread the virus to the entire grassland while migrating.

You know, smallpox is a fatal threat to children. Even in my dynasty, there is a saying that smallpox is equivalent to going to the palace of the king of hell. What's more, there are no good doctors on the grassland. If you contract this disease, you will die Half.This is the vital force of the Tatars in the future. As long as it succeeds, at least [-]% of the Tatars will die. Whether it is the current situation or the future development, it will be severely damaged. If it is used well, the Tatars It could really be "history".

But now, the weather is not beautiful. Even today, the grassland is still a vast expanse of whiteness, and one has to brave the wind and snow and wear a big leather jacket when going out.Naturally, the plague did not spread. According to previous years, the grass on the grassland would start to sprout at this time. If there was more rain, they would be half the height of a person.

This can't be all blamed on Madman Zuo, after all, when he proposed this idea, Madzi Zuo invited the Lord Qin Tianjian to find out the records over the years, and this kind of weather is absolutely once in a hundred years.

But this* also failed, because the weather was so cold that most of the livestock were frozen to death.The Tatars deserve to be together in order to resist the cold winter, no, or call it the cold spring.This also led to the unprecedented unity of the Tatars, and there was no overdue fragmentation.

This last, and most important point, is that the backyard is on fire.In the imperial court, the prince rebelled and forced the palace. Although he failed, the imperial court was also seriously injured. Recently, people are panicking. Even in the army, there are many people who abolished the prince. When going out to battle, they are all suspicious, afraid that the people around them will plot against them, and they will never return.

The war began to stalemate, which was the most unfavorable for the Northern Expedition Army.Before the expedition, the strategy of making a quick decision was adopted. After this delay, the supply in all aspects became insufficient. The road behind was blocked due to heavy snow, and the food and grass could not be delivered in time. The daily rations became a problem. Soldiers They are all homesick, and some are thinking about running away.The most frightening thing is that some soldiers got sick at the beginning, only one or two at the beginning, and they didn't attract attention, but now a large number of them have fallen ill, and the military doctor diagnosed it as typhoid fever. Although the news was concealed, it won't be long. Everyone can see it.

There is a shortage of doctors and medicines, and the illness cannot be treated in time. Moreover, there are gossips in Guihua City, saying that people in the camp are sick and cannot contact them. Whenever soldiers go out, they will conflict with the local residents. It's already a tense relationship.

In particular, the residents of the city were already dissatisfied with the army because they were forced to collect food and grass, and it would be even more serious if there was an infectious disease.

After hearing this speech, all the generals looked at each other in blank dismay. If this continues, they must be the ones who lose first, and the situation will get out of hand.

Don't say it's a triumphant return, even your life may not be saved.In case the Tatars go all out and overthrow the capital, what should they do?

Suddenly became a sinner through the ages, which no one wanted.

Crazy Zuo glanced at everyone, "Tell me! What do you want to do?"

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at Madman Zuo, for fear of being used as cannon fodder.

"Go back and raise your soldiers, and go out of the city to fight in three days." Looking around, "No matter what the situation in the capital is, if we win this battle, I, the lunatic on the left, will naturally go back and petition the Holy Majesty. If you lose, let’s wipe your necks together.”

The people who said these words were in a state of confusion, Wang Zisheng looked at them coldly, and everyone still had some confidence, especially those generals who were inextricably related to the abolished prince. Compensating for the past, he finally had a happy expression on his face, obviously extremely happy in his heart.

Three days later, Crazy Zuo personally led the team, split it into two, and went to the grassland to ambush.

After a while, I saw a group of black dots moving far away. This should be the mission to ask for help from the great prince of the Tatars, King Bohai.

Dividing the Tatars into multiple divisions and then exterminating them one by one is currently the most advantageous method.

When this group of people arrived in the ambush circle, everyone started at the same time, doing mental calculations or not, a hundred or so people were wiped out like melons and vegetables in just half an hour.

At this time, Wang Zisheng was also terribly cold. While shivering, he began to search his body to find the seal on the envoy.

The other party was also on the long run, ready to deal the Tartars the heaviest blow.
