The entire civil and military forces in Youzhou suddenly went crazy.
Meng Zan also went crazy.
Dry!
Inverted!
You have to fight like this once in life!
Moreover, this is the only choice you can make in Youzhou now!
To raise an army to rebel, you need to be famous. For Youzhou, this is not difficult. After all, their King Zhao was killed by Jinghua officials. At that time, they can make a big fuss in the name of Qingjun.
Such a decision was too sudden, and the civil servants could not accept it. However, the leader Meng Zan said so, and all the generals were excited. They did not dare to say anything to disturb the morale of the army at this time.
I just worry in my heart that my life is not long.
Most military generals are mindless and reckless men who only know how to risk their lives, but Meng Zan is different.
Although he asked King Zhao to proclaim himself emperor, in fact this was just a delaying tactic to stabilize the generals.
Youzhou is just a small place. Wanting to sweep the entire Dragon Flame is simply a dream. As for sending troops to Beijing, it is just a slogan at best.
When the time comes, he will lead his troops to attack Jinghua, give a symbolic blow, and then withdraw to Youzhou.
If they can't defeat them, they can't fight hard. They can only invade local areas. Anyway, the current battle situation of Long Yan is tight enough, and there is no chance to deal with them for the time being.
By then, these generals would be speechless.
Of course, if Long Yan is furious and wants to regain his dignity, the army will suppress the situation. They can form a horn with the Mongolian army. The two groups have a total of 300,000 troops. I believe that holding the territory should not be a problem.
As for whether Mongolia would betray them, Meng Zan was not very worried about this.
In the last Mongolian camp, he had seen that although Tiemucheng was the Great Khan, Tiemucheng almost obeyed the advice of Zhong Xingyue, the military advisor.
Zhongxing Yue is Long Yan's number one traitor, and he will never make peace with Long Yan.
With this solid ally, Youzhou can be kept safe. In addition, behind Mongolia, there is also the powerful Tsarist Russia. As long as they can get the support of Tsarist Russia, their strength will be even higher.
They can hide their strength in Youzhou and wait for the reality. As long as Beijing is empty again, they can take advantage of it. At that time, it will not be difficult to conquer the world.
…
Liu Zheng came back without alerting anyone.
After entering Jinghua City, he did not go directly to the court, but to the Tianlao.
He wants to meet this Yu Qian.
Once upon a time, Yu Qian was just a lowly character, and Liu Zheng's impression of him was just a flawless account book. But now, this kid has transformed into a hero in the battle to defend Beijing. He must test it out. His quality.
Liu Zheng entered the sky prison, and the first cell at the beginning held Yu Qian.
At this moment, although Yu Qian was disheveled, his eyes were fixed on the book in his hand. He didn't even care about his arrival.
Liu Zheng smiled lightly.
Being in jail, but still in such a state of mind, Yu Qian is really not an easy person.
Regardless of whether he was pretending or not, he was still really dismissive. The fact that he cursed his chief assistant Liu Zheng in Tianlao these days has long been spread in Beijing.
"Master Yu, you are so leisurely."
Liu Zheng asked the jailer to open the cell door, walked up to Yu Qian, and said with a smile.
Hearing Liu Zheng's greeting, Yu Qian finally put down the book in his hand and glanced at Liu Zheng: "Who are you?"
His expression was disdainful, and his voice was extremely lazy. This made the cell leader on the other side angry.
"Bold, do you know..."
Just as the cell leader was about to get angry, he was stopped by Liu Zheng.
"Who am I? How can I introduce you?"
Liu Zheng laughed.
After carefully looking at these two lives, Liu Zheng could be called a famous person.
Originally, Yu Qian didn't take Liu Zheng seriously at all, but after hearing Liu Zheng's weird answer, he couldn't help but turned around and warned Liu Zheng.
He is in his early twenties, but he exudes a domineering aura that does not belong to his stage.
Although he still doesn't know Liu Zheng's specific identity, he knows that this kid is definitely not a simple character.
"By the way, I remembered that there was a person who called me a country thief." Liu Zheng said with a smile.
After hearing Liu Zheng's words, Yu Qian became energetic. He stared at Liu Zheng, leaning forward with an alert look on his face.
"You are Liu Zheng!"
Yu Qian looked at Liu Zheng and screamed in disbelief.
He was surprised, not only because the person in front of him was Liu Zheng, but also because of those four words Liu Zheng said!
The thief of the country!
This is what he said to General Zhao Yan at that time, and his voice was not loud. General Zhao Yan is an upright person, and there is no way he would come to Liu Zheng and say this.
At this time, Yu Qian recalled the scene at that time.
He remembered that when he was talking to Zhao Yan, there were indeed several soldiers not far away from him!
It is from their mouths that the words come out!
Among the few city defenders, there is Liu Zheng's spy. Liu Zheng is so powerful!
Yu Qian was surprised, but not frightened. After his mood stabilized, he said seriously and coldly: "The hawks and dogs under my command are like this. If they are not thieves of the country, what are they?"
"Lord Yu, you have thought too much. This matter has long been spread among the nobles in the capital. Although the intelligence system in Liu Zheng's hands is good, it is not aimed at his colleagues. It's just that he is a thief who steals the country. Then you can tell me, I steal the country. What did you steal?" Liu Zheng asked with a smile.
"Stealing national power and stealing the dragon flame artifact."
Yu Qian said angrily without thinking.
"You said that I stole the national power, but the national power is now in the hands of the cabinet. You said that I stole the Dragon Flame artifact? Now, Long Yan is still Long Yan, and the person sitting on the throne of the emperor is still Xie. You Is this conclusion untenable?"
Liu Zheng shook his head.
"In name, the cabinet controls the country's power, but in reality, all cabinet members have to look at the face of you, the chief minister of the cabinet. Although the Xie family still holds the throne, the emperor is already your puppet. Isn't this a big thief?" Yu Qian argued angrily. road.
"What you said makes sense, but thieves also have their ways. Have you ever seen me do anything that is harmful to nature?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"Isn't it wrong to resort to militarism, go to war with surrounding ethnic groups, and bring the economy to the brink of collapse?"
"Isn't it wrong to use up manpower and material resources to develop barren Liaodong?"
"When the domestic economy is on the verge of collapse, we still spend huge sums of money to travel across the ocean. Isn't this wrong?"
"Suppressing Confucianism and respecting businessmen has permeated society with a smell of copper. Isn't this wrong?"
Yu Qian asked, making an impassioned speech and asking three questions in a row.
Liu Zheng smiled lightly.
These issues were also used by the domestic opposition to attack him.
"Okay, since you said that, I will respond to you one by one."
"First of all, you say that I am militaristic? I would like to ask Mr. Yu, which of my wars have been meaningless? If I don't fight the invading enemies, do I still have to give them yearly coins like the former dynasty? I am a dragon. Yan Dynasty, when did you need money to buy peace? As for Tsarist Russia in the north, they are constantly expanding. The northeast is unclaimed land. If we occupy it, there will be no problems. Even if you give it to Tsarist Russia , the ambitions of Tsarist Russia will not stop, and will continue to invade our land, blocking them from the ice and snow, so that our people can stay away from the pain of war, is there any problem with this?" Liu Zheng asked.
After listening to Liu Zheng's words, Yu Qian also understood, but this was not his ideal solution to the problem.
"Using force to fight against the barbarians, what's the difference between us, the Longyan people, and the barbarians? To deal with the barbarians, we don't necessarily have to use war. I think mutual trade is the best way. Now, the Mongols are short of food, and we can Do these trades with them at the border and let them exchange their furs for our food. In this way, they can solve the problem of food and clothing in the simplest way and will not rebel against their tribal leaders."
Yu Qian retorted.
"Master Yu, the reality is different from what is written in the book. You are too idealistic. You want to make peace with others, but they may not want to make peace with you. Why should they trade with you when they can obviously rob you? Tribe Chief Do you think they won’t listen to the leader’s words? Moreover, no one wants to remain poor and wants to change their destiny. The best way is to violently plunder. Mutual trading is a good method, but it requires a prerequisite. Then It’s just to make them afraid. Only by beating them to make them scared and painful will they know that we are not easy to mess with, so they will put down their weapons and do business with us obediently.”
"Liaodong has learned a lesson from this matter, isn't it enough?"
"How did I treat them back then? But what about them?"
"Barbarian nature is hard to change with wealth!"
"The ambition of a wolf is known to everyone!"
Liu Zheng put his hands behind his hands and explained with a smile.
""
"This..." Yu Qian was speechless. Now, he didn't know how to answer Liu Zheng.
