According to the local military system of the Mo Dynasty, after the commander-in-chief resigned, the court should promptly dispatch someone to serve as the commander-in-chief.
The position of the Commander-in-Chief is actually the person with the highest military management in a province. He takes orders from the imperial governor's office and manages the local guards and posts below. He is also called the commander-in-chief.
Although he has great powers, he generally cannot raise troops without authorization without the document from the Governor's Office.
Therefore, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the founding emperor has implemented this rule. Without a document from the Metropolitan Governor's Office, no local team can raise troops without authorization.
When a foreign enemy invades, the enemy can resist by taking the first action. If the outsider is not hostile, he cannot be killed.
With this provision, many local officials were cautious in their words and deeds. Because of this provision, many incidents occurred frequently.
For example, in the case of General Su of the Huguang Command Post, he went to resist on his own without obeying the orders of the Imperial Governor, which was against the laws of the imperial court.
Logically, he should be executed, but because Su Zongbing was old and kind-hearted, the imperial governor-general exempted him from the crime and just let him return to his hometown.
Precisely because of this law, it was not complete locally or militarily, so many local officials would make mistakes without paying attention.
It is said that Emperor Hongdao, who was loved by the whole country at that time, wanted to change this system before his death. However, Emperor Hongdao, who was weak at the time and could not speak smoothly, just said a few words and drove away to the west. As a result, there was no one after that. Bring this up.
However, the current emperor is on the throne, but because of the last assassination, he does not dare to personally govern, and even hands over power to the two prime ministers, while he spends the rest of his life in the harem.
However, the two prime ministers on the left and right did not dare to take an interest in the war. Du Antong, the governor of the Dudu Mansion, and Gui Yuanwei, the minister of the Ministry of War, were willing to submit to the affairs of the left and right prime ministers, so they did not inform the two prime ministers of this legal flaw.
Over the years, Su Yunqi, the left prime minister, has been thinking about revitalizing the Mo Dynasty, making the people of the Mo Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment, and making the Mo Dynasty rich and powerful.
Only today did he realize that what he had done was far from enough, and he didn't know which step he had gone wrong over the years.
The sky was dark, with small snowflakes falling, and the air was very cold.
At this moment, Su Yunqi, the current Prime Minister of the Left, was sitting in the study, drinking hot tea, but his face was full of sadness.
In the study, piles of books were piled on the desk. An orchid was planted in a flowerpot next to the desk. The sound of running water came from outside the screen. The water slowly flowed out from the cracks in the stones and flowed into a small pond to feed a few goldfish. of oxygen and vitality.
It seemed like a pleasant study room, but Mr. Su was not happy at all.
At this time, footsteps came closer and closer, but Su Yunqi, who looked sad, seemed not to hear the footsteps.
"master."
Lu Huan's words brought Mr. Su back to his senses with a sad look on his face.
Mr. Su raised his head and looked at the housekeeper Lu Huan beside him with a pair of sad eyes.
"What's the matter?"
Mr. Su's words were very calm, as if nothing could make him happy.
Lu Huan replied: "Yang Youcheng is asking for a meeting outside the house."
"See you." Master Su Yunqi said.
Just as the housekeeper Lu Huan walked out of the study, Master Su Yunqi's face changed back to its original state, and a sad face appeared again.
"Benefactor!"
As soon as he entered the study door, Prime Minister Yang Youcheng shouted with a smile.
After listening to Yang Youcheng's words, Mr. Su raised his head and looked at Yang Youcheng. Looking at the smiling face, Su Yunqi was not happy at all.
Seeing the benefactor's silent expression, the right prime minister Yang Youcheng came over and sat on the chair in front of the benefactor.
"My dear friend, why are you so unhappy?" Yang Youcheng's happy face turned away.
"The affairs of the treasury and the war between Mo and Qi are all making people sad."
As he spoke, Master Su Yunqi sighed.
Seeing his benefactor worried about this matter, student Yang Youcheng laughed happily and hurriedly informed his benefactor about his affairs.
"My benefactor, my student has a way to deal with the shortage of money in the treasury."
Hearing that the student Yang Youcheng had this ability, and that it happened to be his own sorrow, Su Yunqi's sad face suddenly became excited, and he asked the student Yang Youcheng with a smile on his face.
"Tell me."
Yang Youcheng replied: "My benefactor. The only thing we can do now is clean up the corrupt officials in the imperial court and local areas, and increase taxes in various places this year."
Su Yunqi was shocked when he heard about corrupt officials.
"Are you sure you can restore the treasury's money in this way?" Su Yunqi was a little unconvinced.
"My benefactor, I can recover. I'm afraid that the silver will be used for military purposes after recovery."
After hearing this, Mr. Su Yunqi sighed: "Now, the most urgent matter is the military matter. I think this is the only way."
After saying what he was thinking, Mr. Su Yunqi looked at Yang Youcheng and asked again: "In your opinion, how to investigate this corrupt official? Who will investigate?"
Listening to his benefactor's question, Yang Youcheng smiled slightly, leaned forward, and whispered into his benefactor Su Yunqi's ear.
After hearing this, Master Su Yun nodded, as if the melancholy expression on his face had long since disappeared.
"Okay, let's do it."
At this time, Master Su Yunqi suddenly asked about the battle situation.
"How is the battle going?"
"Returning to my benefactor, the enemy has taken over five counties including Zhenshui County, Huairong County, Chuanlu County, Hexiang County, and Pu County. Now the main forces of Huguang, Mozhang, and Jianglai provinces have gone to the border of Huguang for support. We should be able to arrive early tomorrow morning.”
"good."
The next day, Huguang, which had already swallowed several cities in succession by the enemy, became nervous for a while.
When people in nearby prefectures, prefectures, and counties around the boundary heard this, they all packed up and ran south.
However, when the local officials in the prefecture and county saw this, they did not stop them, but all those who had served as soldiers were asked to stay.
Precisely because of this, the guards and soldiers in the nearby prefectures and counties who had not yet attacked were all unsettled and feared that they would be difficult to defeat. There was an order from above, and the soldiers of these guards and counties did not dare to act rashly.
"General, we have captured six cities along the way, do we still need to continue attacking?"
One of General Qi's capable young generals ran over.
General Guo Zhentian of Qi State was still standing on the city tower, looking into the distance, and there was still a strong ambition in his heart.
But now, the one standing is not Zhenshui County, but the local prefecture, Jiangjing Prefecture.
From the perspective of territory, Qi State has only captured one of the prefectures in Huguang.
Zhenshui County and several counties are all managed by Jiang Jing Mansion.
In this current situation, Qi State General Guo Zhentian is still not reassured.
"How can a few cities be enough? Now our army still has 810,000 troops, and it is not enough to capture one mansion. We have to capture other mansions, capture Huguang, and then capture these other provinces to capture Damo!" Qi The words of the national general Guo Zhentian were very powerful and domineering.
Judging from this personality, maybe it is actually related to his name.
"The general is mighty."
After hearing this, General Guo Zhentian of Qi State stroked his long beard and laughed.
Just as he was smiling, General Guo Zhentian's expression suddenly changed, as if he was stunned.
On the tower, although there were still light snowflakes, the weather did not affect Qi General Guo Zhentian's vision.
In the field of vision of Qi State General Guo Zhentian, he saw a crowd like ants coming towards this direction in the distance.
After seeing clearly, Qi General Guo Zhentian hurriedly picked up the machete placed aside, then looked around and shouted: "The enemy is coming! Everyone, prepare to stand and fight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Qi soldiers in the mansion stood up one after another, holding the freshly cleaned machetes on their sides. The expressions on their faces turned away and they suddenly became serious.
From the center to the end of the city, all the soldiers stood up and prepared.
The three main forces of the Mo Dynasty outside the city are getting closer and closer, and the figures of the Mo Dynasty army can be clearly seen outside the city.
However, as soon as they ran forward, a group of people stopped.
"Listen to the people on the other side! What you are stepping on is our land. Please leave quickly and go back to your Qi country! Don't resist anymore!" A general shouted with his hands in front of his mouth.
After hearing this, Qi General Guo Zhentian, who was about to go down to prepare for battle, turned around and looked at the army opposite.
Judging from this formation, there are many troops in front of them, and they must be Da Mo's main force.
After hearing what they said, Qi General Guo Zhentian raised the corners of his mouth, turned to look at the 820,000 troops behind him, and returned with a proud look on his face.
"Listen across the way! I am Guo Zhentian, the capable general of Qi State! My army has more than 800,000 troops! Withdraw troops?! That is absolutely impossible!" Guo Zhentian, the general of Qi State, is not afraid either.
After the Mo Dynasty army heard this, the three generals leading it started discussing.
"General Cen, there are... more than 800,000 troops on the opposite side. Our army only has more than 600,000 troops. How are we going to fight this battle?" General Zhang asked.
General Zhang is the general of the main force in Mozhang Province. His surname is Zhang and his given name is Tian. He had a strong build, and his body had been injured by an arrow. Only after searching the world's famous doctors did he find out about his physical injuries. General Zhang Tian is now thirty-seven years old.
"Are you afraid? They are just scaring us. They can't take it seriously." General Cen replied.
General Cen is the general of the main force of Jiang Lai Province. His surname is Cen and his given name is Deok. He also has a strong body and has suffered many injuries in his body, but his body is strong and minor injuries cannot help him. He is regarded as the most capable general, second only to Song Yuankai, the general who served in the Metropolitan Governor's Office.
After hearing this, a general on the side smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have just been transferred from the Governor's Mansion. I have fought many battles in the early years. This time I heard that the Qi army is not much different from us, that is, It’s just an army of more than 600,000. Since Qi will not retreat, we have no choice but to send them off respectfully."
This somewhat humorous general is Li Lian of the Metropolitan Governor's Office. He was a general who fought against the Qi State in the early years. At that time, he fought side by side with many generals. Most of them were killed or injured, and the entire army was almost annihilated. Fortunately, the battle ended He won, and General Li Lian saved his life.
"Okay." General Cen De responded.
Afterwards, the Mo Chao army blew their horns and started fighting outside Jiang Jingfu City.
