Sudden.
Liu Zheng suddenly had an idea in his mind!
He almost slapped himself hard!
He immediately knew where he had made any omissions!
Dragon Flame!
That's right.
In the recent days, he has been in the Li Dynasty, from Jingcheng to Seoul, from Seoul to the south, and then back to Seoul. All his attention and energy were placed on Li Chaoshang. The formulation of the constitutional monarchy, intrigues and intrigues on other matters. So, he forgot one thing! That is Long Yan's current situation, and it is not optimistic!
According to his estimate, Xie Tianyao probably only had a few months to live.
Under such circumstances, various overt and covert struggles must have begun in Long Yan's country.
Although he didn't know it in detail and he wasn't in Longyan, he could almost imagine the tense atmosphere in Longyan and Jinghua now.
In this case...
Under such circumstances.
Those scholar-bureaucrats and old nobles must also be keeping an eye on his whereabouts in the Li Dynasty this time. From the stabilization of the Li Dynasty to the constitutional monarchy, it was too easy to find out about the intelligence system of that old monster Zhu Zhen!
Liu Zheng, why do you want to establish a constitutional monarchy?
it's actually really easy.
First, he felt that a constitutional monarchy was most suitable for Long Yan now. This road will be a road that promotes Longyan's soaring. Someone must have said, why not completely wipe out the imperial power? It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t. Facts have proved that among all the countries that have completely wiped out the imperial power, which country has not experienced a war and the baptism of iron and blood? Liu Zheng did not want Long Yan to fall into war, because in the current world situation, several big countries had begun to rise. If Long Yan was in chaos, they would definitely take advantage of it. The Long Yan he wants is a Long Yan that develops stably, and he especially doesn't want war to bring suffering to the people.
Second, Liu Zheng actually did not want to be the emperor, but he also had his own desire for power. So, if today's Long Yan continues to develop and become a world hegemon, it will need a buffering policy such as a constitutional monarchy.
Third, Xie Tianyao is dying. At this time, Liu Zheng wanted to express a point of view to the country. He wanted to weaken the imperial power instead of fighting for it. Whether it was to lay the groundwork for this matter or for his own safety, at least no one would put him on the fire rack to roast him, say that he wanted to rebel, that he wanted to usurp the throne, or that he was disloyal.
For these reasons, the Constitutional Monarchy chose the Li Dynasty as the pilot unit.
But what about those scholar-bureaucrats?
right.
The constitutional monarchy seemed to have improved the status of scholar-bureaucrats, but it caused their hereditary power to disappear all at once. For a long time, the scholar-bureaucrat group will definitely collapse.
Liu Zhengcai didn't believe it, Zhu Zhen couldn't see all this.
so.
Whether it was to compete for the throne or to kick himself out of the struggle for power, Zhu Zhen would definitely find a way to make the Li Dynasty fail in this war. Then there would be no need to continue the constitutional monarchy.
Think of this.
Liu Zheng took a deep breath. He suddenly opened the map and looked in one direction.
East China Sea, Yellow Sea!
Good guy.
This location is simply too important!
That’s Boryeong Port!
This Boryeong is not the Boryeong of China, but the Boryeong of the Lee Dynasty, and it is precisely this Boryeong Port that is located in Chungcheong Province, and is not far from Qinghe Town where the decisive battle between the Lee Dynasty and the Japanese Empire took place!
Liu Zheng stared at this place.
Then he yelled: "Qianyun, bring a pen and paper!"
Pei Qianyun was shocked. He didn't know why the young master who was so lazy just now suddenly became so violent.
Japanese pirates!
Liu Zheng immediately grasped this possibility!
Because at this stage in history, Japanese pirates are rampant in the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea! However, his arrival and the equipment of the Yinzhou ship forced the scholar-bureaucrats to clear out the Japanese pirates.
However……
Even if they are cleared, these Japanese pirates who have been operating at sea for a long time still have some scale.
In fact, this was deliberately left behind by Long Yan and his group of scholar-bureaucrats.
When you use it, you can use it. When not in use, there is no need to attack them all. This can check and balance the court, and maybe even get some benefits from the funds for suppressing bandits...
politics.
This is the political method of this scholar-official.
Liu Zheng took a deep breath. At this time, he had a solemn look on his face.
Boryeong Port!
If domestic scholar-bureaucrats want to cause trouble through Japanese pirates, it must be Boryeong Port!
At this time, because of the battle in Qinghe Town, Li Chao's soldiers from all over the country wanted to fly over to help. Especially Chungcheong Province, as the buffer zone between Gyeongsang Province and Gyeonggi Province, Li Chaochaotang will never allow Chungcheong Province to fall into the hands of the Japanese. Coupled with the distance problem, all the cities in Chungcheong Province have begun to mobilize Army, rush to Qinghe Town!
but.
This way.
The other cities on Chungcheong Road will be empty of combat power!
Under such circumstances, if a large-scale Japanese pirates invaded Boryeong Port, Boryeong Port would definitely be unbearable!
if that is the case……
Liu Zheng's face began to turn livid.
Cruel!
This is the true ruthlessness of these scholar-bureaucrats!
Once Boryeong Port is lost, these Japanese pirates will not only cause great harassment to Zhongqing Road, but also directly affect the battle situation in Qinghe Town. These Japanese pirates can form a siege with the Japanese army to surround the soldiers of the Li Dynasty! By then, I am afraid that even if Liu Zheng arrives in person, he will be unable to save himself!
"Master, Master?"
Pei Qianyun held a pen and paper, waiting for Liu Zheng to write on it.
However, Liu Zheng found out sadly at this time.
He didn't know who to write this letter to.
Take the Yellow Sea as an example. The closest place to the Yellow Sea is Qingzhou... However, the Qingzhou navy is not very good, and now the Qingzhou army is still showing off its power in Liaodong... The sudden deployment, in terms of international relations, the Li Dynasty is definitely not Will allow so many Long Yan armies to enter the Li Dynasty. So if the Qingzhou army wants to come for reinforcements, it will have to go far away, and I'm afraid time won't allow it.
Wu land.
The only thing left is Wu land, which is the Shanghai area in the previous life.
However, when Liu Zheng was in Longyan, his relationship with Hanzhong was good, and his relationship with Bashu was good, but not that good. He had never been to Wu.
And I heard that this King Wu himself was a member of the old aristocracy, and he was also close to the scholar-bureaucrats.
In other words, he is also a guy who has both sides.
If he wrote the letter rashly, the King of Wu would definitely not send reinforcements to him.
Liu Zheng suddenly realized how powerful Zhu Zhen's move was.
Directly, he was forced into a desperate situation.
These scholar-bureaucrats are really too proficient when it comes to intrigues.
Not easy to fight.
This battle is not easy to fight.
Who should he turn to for help?
It seemed like it was already too late to follow anyone, in terms of time.
Sudden.
He looked at the Ryukyu Islands on the map again.
A person appeared in his mind.
Nanyang Xie family?
A remnant of the prosperous Tang Dynasty?
At first, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling that this was unrealistic. That remnant of the prosperous Tang Dynasty was defeated at his own hands, and it was obvious that he already hated himself extremely. Although they are no longer active now, they are definitely developing domestically and are preparing to retaliate against themselves at any time. Especially if the situation in Long Yan changes again this time, they may all come back to join forces.
But……
At present, the Nanyang Xie family, a remnant of the Tang Dynasty, is the closest to Baoning Port. Because today's Ryukyu Islands do not belong to the Japanese country, but have been conquered by the Nanyang Xie family long ago!
Liu Zheng knew that the Japanese pirate ships equipped by the Japanese pirates did not travel very fast on the sea, but the Nanyang Xie family had relatively advanced warships, and it was even possible that they had bought their own Yinzhou with a lot of money. ship. You know, the Japanese country bullied the Li Dynasty every day, but the Nanyang Xie family bullied the Japanese country every day. The relationship between these three countries is really delicate. This reminds Liu Zheng of a joke in his past life, that is, Leo bullies Aries, Aries bullies Sagittarius, but Sagittarius keeps Leo in check...
Fall in love and kill each other.
If the Japanese pirates set out from the Yellow Sea and the Nanyang Army from the Ryukyu Islands at the same time, they would probably arrive at Boryeong Port at the same time.
Good guy...
Liu Zheng suddenly felt dumbfounded.
Could it be that the only way left for me was to seek help from the remnants of the Tang Dynasty?
If anyone knew that this scholar-official colluded with Japanese pirates, it would definitely be a serious crime.
But if he secretly contacts the Nanyang Xie family, wouldn't it be a crime of beheading?
but.
Liu Zheng hardly hesitated.
Again.
Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters.
What's more, this Nanyang Xie family has no huge hatred against the Liu family. It’s just that Xie Tianyao can’t stand it.
At this time, interests come first and the war situation comes first.
Now that he has decided, Liu Zheng doesn't like procrastination.
The pen moves quickly, and a letter has been written.
Three more letters.
Then he looked at Pei Qianyun and smiled: "This letter must be delivered to Nanyang as soon as possible."
Pei Qianyun doesn't care about the imperial court or Nanyang. The young master's words are a huge order: "Young master wants Qianyun to..."
Liu Zheng nodded: "Yes, one letter will be delivered by Fei Ge, one by the inn, and the other one needs to be delivered by you in person!"
Pei Qianyun was anxious: "But..."
Liu Zheng shook his head: "Don't worry about me. Now, no one in Li Dynasty wants to do anything harmful to me. Besides, Lu Yao is still in the team, and her skills are more than enough to protect me. Go, now Just go."
Pei Qianyun could only accept the order and leave.
Liu Zheng was deeply relieved.
time.
What he needs now is time.
He believed that as long as Xie Chengqian was not stupid, he would not refuse his request for help.
at this time.
Liu Zheng, who had just closed his eyes to rest, was hit by a cool and fragrant wind.
He knew who was coming.
Lu Yao, dressed in white, sat next to him and looked at Liu Zheng: "General Pei left in a hurry. Master, are you planning to hide your sword this time or draw it out?"
Liu Zheng laughed dumbly: "If you don't hide it, you won't come out either."
Lu Yao looked curious: "What is that?"
Liu Zheng said helplessly: "Borrow the sword."
…
Nanyang Xie family.
Since the failure of the last expedition to Liaodong, the 300,000-strong army was completely defeated and the entire army was wiped out. This was an absolutely devastating blow to the Nanyang Xie family.
In those days, Xie Chengqian, a high-spirited man, seemed to have aged more than ten years all of a sudden.
Three hundred thousand elite soldiers...
How many years will he have to train?
fine.
Nanyang has a population base. Nowadays, the territory of the Xie family in Nanyang cannot be underestimated. At least the territory he occupies is much larger than that of the Li Dynasty or the Japanese state. From the Ryukyu Islands snatched from Japan in the north to the Nusa Tenggara Islands in the south, almost all the land in Southeast Asia has surrendered to the Xie family.
Xie Chengqian's branch still has something to offer.
but.
Xie Chengqian was still worried.
Because only he knows that Nanyang does not look that powerful. The Xie family, to Nanyang, are just a group of outsiders. The ethnic groups and indigenous people here actually have their own unique culture. Although he forced cultural reforms here after coming to Nanyang, the results were very average.
Tradition is not something that can be obliterated just by saying obliterate it.
Besides, he didn't want to be too cold-blooded or too bloody.
so.
After the last big defeat, there were many different voices in the country.
Today, Nanyang still has 400,000 troops.
This is Xie Chengqian's only property. Of course, the recruitment is continuing, but it is not known when combat effectiveness will be achieved.
"Your Majesty, you are thinking about Long Yan again..."
At this time, the Queen of Nanyang came slowly and gently helped Xie Chengqian, pressing his shoulders.
Xie Chengqian chuckled: "Emperor Long Yan, the deadline is approaching. You said that if we had not attacked Liaodong, the 300,000 troops would not have been destroyed. At this time, we should be extremely ambitious and vow to kill Long Yan!"
The queen of Nanyang, the eldest grandson Qingrong smiled softly: "As long as your majesty is determined, an army of 400,000 will not be enough?"
"A little less, a little less... Hey, this Nanyang is not our home after all."
Xie Chengqian sighed and stood up.
Nowadays, the situation of Long Yan has begun to become confusing, but what is regrettable is that he has no soldiers to use! Four hundred thousand? Hehe, I'm afraid even Long Yan, a big state's army, can't defeat him after a long journey. How can he cause trouble?
But.
Long Yan was going to be in chaos, and if he didn't do something, he wouldn't be willing to do it.
Changsun Qingrou covered his mouth and smiled sweetly: "If nothing happens, why not go to fight against Japan and train troops?"
Xie Chengqian was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "What a good idea! The recruits need to be trained anyway! Now that the Japanese are attacking the Li Dynasty, their troops are empty. We are just in time to bring back some land!"
Right now.
Suddenly, a notice was heard outside that the Minister of War had come to see him.
Xie Chengqian and Changsun Qingrong looked at each other.
The Secretary of the Ministry of War, Gu Long, this old guy has a stubborn temper in the court, but he is quite upright. He is always angry with Xie Chengqian, but he is loyal to the Xie family. Because of the slightly awkward and tense relationship between the two, Gu Long usually would not come to Xie Chengqian.
Could it be that something happened?
"Xuan!"
Xie Chengqian waved his hand and quickly sat upright.
Gu Long, a bearded southerner with a Chinese character face, walked in boldly. Seeing Xie Chengqian sitting very upright, he nodded slowly and followed: "Your Majesty, there is a letter from Minister Long Yan Liu!"
"What?"
Xie Chengqian and Changsun Qingrong were stunned at the same time.
