Chapter 210 Liao Town and Shanxi
With the end of that secret peace talks, under the unknown tacit understanding, the days of the entire Liao Town were obviously much more comfortable and comfortable than before.
He led the court's offerings and the benefits of the Later Jin Dynasty, and had explanations on both sides and could take advantage of both ends. This kind of life made the big men in Liaodong feel a little happy.
Even, perhaps because I felt sorry for it, I have planned two "wars" recently, creating two good results, which are the rewards for the court to work hard to support Liao Town every year.
Yuan Chonghuan could naturally see all this clearly, or he was the leader of it. At present, he had to throw away the only remaining belief in his heart to serve the king and the country.
Instead of intrigueing and becoming someone else's pawn in the court, it is better to make the decision on your own life. Wouldn't such a life be happy!
And now...
In the Ningyuan City Government Office, the generals from Liaodong gathered together, and the hall was also depressed.
"I just knew that with the guy Zhenbei Hou was there, the court would be unable to be at peace!"
"Damn, he has the ability, so he will fight by himself. What are we doing?"
"Bad things, what's the point of doing the best in one battle? It's just that he wants to treat us as cannon fodder. Tens of thousands of troops in the Beijing camp are probably going to supervise the battle!"
...
"Okay, stop arguing!"
As the whole hall was arguing, Yuan Chonghuan suddenly shouted loudly, which immediately calmed down the hall. The generals of Liaodong subconsciously looked at the Liaodong governor.
Looking around the rebellious generals in the hall, Yuan Chonghuan also felt a headache, and at the same time he had deep resentment towards the court and Li Xiu.
He tried his best to suppress the rebellious generals of Liao Town. Now, the order for the whole army to prepare for war has changed!
How could anyone who tasted comfortable life be willing to fight to death again? What's more, no matter what the outcome is, it is not a good thing for Liao Town.
If you lose, you will take the blame, and you will lose your troops and generals, and your interests will also be damaged!
If you win, what else do Liao Town do?
Not to mention, now, Liaozhen has formed a tacit understanding with the Later Jin Dynasty and has tacitly understood it.
While thinking, Yuan Chonghuan said in a deep voice:
"We are easy to talk about here. Now, the only thing we need to worry about is the tens of thousands of troops sent by the capital!"
"Then I'll cheat them. If I lose one last time, I don't believe that what else could Zhenbei Hou do to cause!"
"Yes, they are going to fight, let's see how they fight!"
"Supervisor, what do we do if you say something!"
"The army in Jingying is commanded by Yan Shun, the leader of the Yongwei camp. Yan Shun, the confidant of Zhenbei Hou, will definitely not listen to our orders!"
"And, Mao Wenlong in Dongjiang will definitely be staring at us. During this period, this governor estimated that Mao Wenlong should have noticed the clue. Now he is staring at us tightly, waiting to take our handle..."
Yuan Chonghuan did not refuse or scold anything, but instead said this.
"Then take this time and find an opportunity to let the Tartars deal with Mao Wenlong!"
"In the court, we also contact the Tartars to see if we can find opportunities..."
The generals in the hall, you say and say a word, as the general of the Ming Dynasty, openly discussing the great and unruly words that are enough to make anyone fall off!
All of this fell into Yuan Chonghuan's eyes, and his expression was indifferent, but there was a touch of sadness deep in his eyes that was difficult to dissipate.
I don’t know whether it’s for him or the Liaodong generals in front of me...
Maybe it's all...
But... in life, things are often unsatisfactory, and he has no choice but to do so!
At this moment, on the official road from the capital to Liaodong, tens of thousands of troops in the capital camp were heading towards Liaodong under Yan Shun's leadership.
However, for the soldiers of the Beijing army who were in a marching state, this war seemed extremely strange.
Starting from entering the camp as a general, soldiers are more powerful than speed. Even if generals at all levels have emphasized countless times, they will fight every second in their daily practice. If there is a slight delay, they will face strict military laws.
But now the army is setting off for war, and the daily marching speed is not only far lower than the specified distance of the army, but even after only three or four hours a day, the army stops advancing and sets camps. This marching speed is not like going to fight, but rather like traveling.
This made the soldiers in the army quite uncomfortable!
As a general who commanded the army, Yan Shun, the commander who was arranged by Li Xiu to command this army, was naturally well aware of Li Xiu's arrangement.
This time he led his army to fight, it is very likely that it would be just an armed parade!
Yan Shun was naturally aware of the reason. His marquis was obviously very wary of Liao Town.
This time, the bottom line has been explained, focusing on deterrence and supervision of Liaodong, monitoring the situation.
As for participating in the war, there is no mention of it!
Since you don’t participate in the war and just supervise the war and deterrent, Yan Shun naturally does not rush. When the army arrives, it doesn’t matter. As long as the posture is put forward, it will have its function!
Just as Yan Shun led his army to Liaodong slowly, the Xuanfu, to be precise, the entire Shanxi was already in a bloody storm.
When the war is about to begin, the first thing to do is naturally to stabilize the rear!
As for how to stabilize...
Li Xiu led 30,000 iron cavalry, plus tens of thousands of soldiers and generals of Xuanfu, and hundreds of cavalry of the Jinyiwei who had arrived, this huge power would not require any gentle means!
Of course, Li Xiu, who came out from life and death, did not understand what gentle means meant!
Before the army arrived at Xuanfu, the military order had arrived. Immediately, the soldiers and generals of Ti cavalry were dispatched. With lightning speed, they defeated the eight famous imperial Shangs, Fan, Wang, Jin, Wang, Liang, Tian, Zhai, and Huang in history!
These eight major families and a large number of merchants and gentry who ignored the imperial court's laws and privately cleared their way were arrested.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then, it will be the old profession of the Jinyiwei!
Exorcist punishment, family confiscation and family extermination!
In front of the heavy troops of Xuanfu, everything is false! Even if you are desperate, you can't even do it!
Just like the several Mongolian tribes knocking on the edge, they were bleeding from their heads in front of the Xuanfu City, which had been transformed, but they could only look at the town that had allowed them to enter, and sigh helplessly!
By the time Li Xiu arrived, the whole of Shanxi was already in a panic of wind and trees!
On that day, before Li Xiu had settled, a large number of Shanxi officials and gentry visited him. However, after the knife was put on his neck, he realized that he was afraid, obviously, it was too late.
With a command, the bloody storm in the capital was also staged in Shanxi!
Even more thorough and cruel than when I was in the capital!
After all, compared with the wealthy and powerful families in the capital, the influence is much smaller! It is naturally much easier to play with the involvement and expand!
Of course, everything is just an excuse. The most important thing is that Li Xiu has set his sights on these merchant families who have saved countless years of wealth!
In a war, the consumption of money, food and materials is undoubtedly a huge amount. It is just right to use the wealth of this group of Shanxi merchants to pay for this war and fill the empire's wealth.
As for the others, Li Xiu obviously wouldn't care. In fact, no one cared about the fate of these Shanxi merchants at this point!
Do court officials care?
I might have done this before, but now if I can, I want to use it to make a difference.
But now, the situation of a national war of fate has been set up. The emperor looked down at the court with murderous intent. Whoever dared to make any move that would shake people's hearts was the end of being resigned from office and imprisonment. Maybe it would be a scout of the family and annihilation!
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current emperor has become almost crazy to do things and govern the government after that assassination, and the rules of the past have been completely destroyed!
A emperor who holds great power and controls life and death, but is almost crazy, ask, how many people dare to provoke?
In this situation, who would care about the life and death of a group of merchants and gentry thousands of miles away?
The expectant impeachment memorials from Shanxi were passed to the capital, just like a dripping water entering the sea. Even the waves could not rise and disappeared without a trace.
In this situation of insecurity, many court officials had to pray silently, praying for this battle. Li Xiu would be better off a big defeat and would be better to die in Mongolia directly!
In this world, what they want is their literati and officials to assist the king and the people, rather than always fighting and threatening swords!
