How many sleepless nights have you spent in these three years? There are also ministers like Fu Yuanshan, Lu Duan, and Lu Mengzheng, who are not exhausted from the hard work. How close to the point where the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry? Fu Yuanshan is now as thin as a bamboo pole holding his head. Not long after Lu Duan returned to Beijing, his original belly disappeared. Although it is slightly better than Fu Yuanshan, it is not much better.
With the unremitting efforts of himself and his capable ministers, three years of hard work and hard work made the blood of the Qi Dynasty almost dry. Now that that person is dead, it means that the rebellion is completely wiped out. How could this not make Huang Qiong feel mixed emotions? Therefore, Huang Qiong's current calmness is only superficial. In fact, no matter how calm he is, he is still excited inside.
After a long time to calm down the inner turmoil, Huang Qiong opened the booklet again and read it carefully. When I picked up my pen, I made three comments in succession on Cao Rui's book. Then he encouraged Cao Rui to strive to annihilate the remnants of the rebellion as soon as possible and create an unprecedented feat for the court. However, Huang Qiong still asked Cao Rui to capture Nanning Mansion as soon as possible to find out whether the puppet emperor was really dead.
My opponent is too cunning. Who can guarantee that this guy will not pretend to be dead in the hope of escaping when he is at the end of his rope? This guy is overseas and has long left behind dark chess. Until now, we have not been able to find out where his secret overseas base is. Although Huang Qiong had some vague guesses, he also arranged for Nanzhen Fusi to send people there to investigate.
However, many people sent by Nanzhen Fusi have disappeared without a trace, and no news has been returned until now. Daqi's navy was so bad again that they couldn't even leave the open sea. The navy cannot go out to the open sea, so even if it is found, there is nothing that can be done. Even if they find out, at least for a short period of time, there is nothing they can do with his secret base. Once he is allowed to go overseas, there will never be peace along the coast.
It must be found out whether the false emperor is really dead. I would rather spend a while than let this guy fake his death and escape. This is very critical and important, as it affects whether the coastal roads will be peaceful in the future. In particular, whether the ocean trade routes will be smooth in the future. Therefore, Huang Qiong repeatedly asked Cao Rui to find out even if he attacked Nanning Mansion immediately.
Despite some hesitation, Huang Qiong still wrote at the end of the comment that you will not let me down, and I will certainly not let you down. When your beloved returns in triumph, I will personally go out to greet you. After putting down his pen and looking at his comments on the paper, Huang Qiong nodded with satisfaction and sent someone 800 miles away to expedite the dispatch. Then he picked up other booklets and read them carefully one by one.
During this period of time, Zhao Wushu fought five or six battles with the elite soldiers of Shanchanhou Mansion. The elite soldiers of the Hou Mansion who were good at explaining the situation relied on the geographical advantages and popular sentiments, although they had a slight advantage in many aspects. But Zhao Wushu maximized the power of the light artillery that was transferred before the troops were divided. Compared with the dozen or so cannons in the Shanchanhou Mansion, they are powerful, but extremely heavy and difficult to move.
Zhao Wushu used the lightweight cannon in his hand to launch surprise troops many times and defeated the resistance of Shan Chanhou in front of him. Now Zhao Wushu can be said to have a slight upper hand in the entire battle situation. The eastern front relatively attracted almost all the elite troops of Shanchanhou Mansion. Guo Chen on the northern front took advantage of the fighter planes brought by Zhao Wushu and adopted the strategy of ignoring resistance along the way. Desperately, he penetrated into Shanchan Mansion, the fundamental place of Shanchan Hou Mansion.
Compared with Zhao Wushu's brilliant performance, Guo Chen's battle report seemed mediocre. But Guo Chen revealed two extremely important news in the battle report. At the junction of Weichu Mansion and Shanchan Mansion, he encountered 20,000 elite soldiers from various ethnic groups recruited by Shanchan Hou. According to the confessions of captured enemy military attachés on the battlefield. The 20,000 elite soldiers he encountered now were personally led by Marquis Shanchan himself.
The military attache also confessed that all the elite soldiers belonging to Shanchanhou Mansion had been mobilized. They were all sent to the eastern front where the threat was greater, and about 10,000 troops and horses were left to monitor the Dali royal family in the west. Now these 20,000 elite soldiers were forcibly recruited from various tribes in Shanchanhou Mansion's jurisdiction. The rest is Shanchan Mansion, where it is based, and now there are only three thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people left.
The current Shanchanhou has always been both benevolent and powerful in the area directly under his jurisdiction. Although he could not convince all the tribes, the tribes under his jurisdiction had always been extremely afraid of this Shanchanhou, who had always been uncertain. After receiving his conscription order, no matter how reluctant he was, he had to send his own tribal army. Among the 20,000 troops and horses, there were only 5,000 confidants belonging to Marquis Shanchan.
In addition to this news, Guo Chen also mentioned it in the excerpt. The current king of Dali Kingdom, who personally leads the royal family's 20,000 direct military horses, has entered Weichu City. It's just that after the king personally led the army to Weichu City, he stopped moving forward. Before the 800-mile memorial was sent out, Guo Chen had already sent out a large number of detective horses to find out clearly the situation of the 20,000 royal troops and horses.
However, after receiving the report of the horse exploration, Guo Chen looked down upon the 20,000 troops and horses of the Dali royal family. In his opinion, it is no wonder that the Dali royal family has been suppressed by successive generations of powerful officials over the years, first the Yang family in the past, and now the Gao family. According to the information Tan Ma inquired about, the military capabilities of these so-called military horses directly under the royal family are far inferior to the military strength of Cuan Chu, which belongs to Shanchan Hou Mansion.
These so-called troops directly under the royal family are actually the standing army of the Dali Kingdom. The Cuan Chu army belonging to Shanchanhou Mansion was in the nature of a rural army or a tribal army. These so-called direct-controlled troops should be far better than the rural soldiers who are good at interpreting the Hou Mansion. But in fact, these so-called standing armies even walked awkwardly in a marching column. When marching and camping, the patrol was only sent out for ten miles.
Although it has been found that the 20,000 troops and horses already constitute 70% of Dali's standing army, Guo Chen still did not take it seriously. If it weren't for Huang Qiong's command, if the Dali royal family didn't take action first, he would not be allowed to enter the area directly under the royal family. And the 20,000 troops and horses, after arriving at Weichu Mansion, did not make any move. Guo Chen had already mobilized troops and horses and ate up the 20,000 troops and horses.
Now Guo Chen couldn't judge the true purpose of the Dali king for a while. He was prepared to fully support Shanchanhou and completely repel the imperial invasion of Dali. Or he planned to sit back and watch the two armies fight hard, so that he could benefit from a snipe and clam fight. When the two armies were killed and both were injured, he stepped forward to kill Marquis Shanchan, who was now becoming increasingly powerful and threatening the status of the Dali royal family.
He and himself, the intruder, were all to be dealt with. Still forced by Shan Chanhou, he had no choice but to send troops near the battlefield. In case the Hou Mansion won the battle, Shan explained later, he would go to the capital to find the royal family's back account. First, from the fact that the 20,000 troops and horses did not move forward even half a step after arriving at Weichu Mansion, Guo Chen judged that the situation was not very big. He thinks that the past events of Dali Kingdom today
Guo Chen thinks the latter two are possible. However, even though the 20,000 troops and horses had been staying in Weichu Mansion honestly, it still involved a lot of Guo Chen's energy. When he was about to have a decisive battle with Shan Chanhou, there were 20,000 troops and horses watching eagerly from one side, which would undoubtedly involve a lot of his energy. Especially among the 20,000 troops and horses, although there are no cannons, there are 7,000 soldiers.
In the book, Guo Chen asked for instructions if there was anything unusual about these military horses, could he make a decision on the fly? Or take the lead and defeat the 20,000 royal troops first? Otherwise, the 20,000 troops and horses on one side would pose too great a threat to themselves even if they did not join forces with Shan Chanhou. Especially the King of Dali, after entering Weichu Mansion, he didn't even send a single envoy.
Looking at this memorial, Huang Qiong did not give any immediate instructions. Instead, he stood up and paced back and forth in Wende Hall for a long time. He vaguely felt that it was best for him to go to Dali Country and Guangnan West Road at this time. But after he leaves, who will be responsible for the important task of supervising the country? Although Situ Huanshuang said that she was a queen, she could still get it with a title, but that was all.
Situ Huanshuang has no experience in government affairs and cannot handle government affairs. And he has not yet planned to establish a prince, and the princes are all young, so he cannot even be a nominal supervisor of the country. Especially if this involves something later on. As for the old man, Huang Qiong thought about it for a long time, and finally excluded the old man directly. It seems suitable for the old man, but it is actually the most inappropriate.
The old man has been the king for twenty years. Although he can barely give me a middle-level position in government affairs, it seems to be the most appropriate given the circumstances of his departure from Beijing. After all, in terms of proficiency in government affairs, even I can't compare with him. But Huang Qiong knew clearly that even if he arranged for Situ Huanshuang, who was not familiar with government affairs, to be the supervisor, it would be more suitable than the old man to step in. Because the old man is still the Supreme Emperor.
Although I have purged most of the old man’s so-called crooked ministers in the past few years. But after all, the old man has been the king for twenty years and has a deep and prosperous position in the court. It is impossible for me to replace all the old man's ministers in a few years without causing turmoil in the court situation. If the old man is invited back to supervise the country, it will definitely cause some chaos.
Not only will the courtiers cause some confusion, some people will think that the old man will come back to govern. Even my brothers may have some bad thoughts. Therefore, the old man seems to be the most suitable, but in fact he is the least suitable. The most important thing is that although Huang Qiong has been the king for a few years, he now has the taste of having great power and having the world at his disposal.
In fact, the person who felt most uneasy in his heart was the old man, the Supreme Emperor. Even after the old man abdicated, he never interfered in government affairs. Even after the old man abdicated, he never met any minister. Even if he has been with him for many years, he has never seen him. But Huang Qiong was still a little worried about the old man. If my mother hadn't been there, maybe even the eunuchs around the old man would have been replaced.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong pinched the bridge of his nose and couldn't help but feel a wry smile in his heart. I sighed in my heart, this imperial power thing is really poison. No matter who gets it, even his biological father becomes a rival. While shouting filial piety, he kept a close eye on his biological father. When he first came to the throne, he kept saying that he would not be Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty. On the surface, he did not have any means to restrict the old man's activities.
But in fact, didn’t he also bribe Gao Wuyong to monitor him? And there were also surveillance people placed around Gao Wuyong? I have become like this now. Huang Qiong didn't know for a moment whether he was born with such a suspicious and unscrupulous character, or whether he became like this for the sake of the throne after taking the throne. Now he doesn't even recognize himself.
When I go out this time, I plan to travel lightly and simply, and I don't plan to bring more ministers with me. Otherwise, it is more suitable to add casting lines in Guanfang. After pondering for a long time, Huang Qiong finally made up his mind. During this period of absence, Queen Situ Huanshuang will supervise the country, assisted by Fu Yuanshan, Lu Duan, Yu Mingyuan and Yong Wang. He Yao was fully in charge of the inner palace, and Cai assisted in the management of the inner palace.
