Chapter 40 The Situation in Beijing
He Xi went down the river from Hejianfu all the way to Tianjin, and then went upstream. It didn't take long.
This is also an important reason why He Xi chose Hejian Mansion as his defense line. There is a canal, which is very convenient for defense. Materials from the rear can be continuously transported to the front line, and further south, the canal enters Shandong. There are many inconveniences.
However, what He Xi saw at this moment was not the canal. It’s the atmosphere in Beijing.
To be honest, the battle of Yuxian had the biggest effect on Beijing, which was to calm people's hearts.
After all, for many people, most people have no confidence in Beijing's ability to fight against the world. Even Zhu Xiongying himself was probably conflicted. But He Xinan won the first battle and defeated Tang Shengzong, which immediately made many people feel at ease.
After people's hearts calmed down, the originally oppressive prosperity of Beijing North burst out again.
He Xi saw the city of Beijing. Although it was not as prosperous as before, it could not be called a depression. However, the war still had an impact on Beijing itself.
As soon as He Xi arrived at Beijing South Pier, Yao Guangxiao had been waiting for a long time.
He Xi knew at a glance that Yao Guangxiao had something to say to him.
After all, Zhu Xiongying is not what he used to be. As soon as He Xi returns to Beijing as a foreign minister, he must go to see him as soon as possible. And if Yao Guangxiao had anything to say to He Xi, it was only at this time.
Yao Guangxiao and He Xi walked side by side. To make a long story short, he first told the situation in Goryeo and said: "Sir, it seems that Fu Zhong's own troubles in Goryeo cannot be solved. It will be difficult to advance westwards for a while. It's just that Liaodong's Problems also need to be solved.”
He Xi nodded and said, "That's right. Wu Gao and Liu Jing are both talented people, and now they also favor me. It's just that Tang Tu raised his troops without informing them. I guess they are uneasy now. I will find a way to solve this matter." of."
He Xi believed that Wu Gao and Liu Jing would not defect to Nanjing.
He had no doubt of this. .z.
He Xi made a lot of preparations for today's events.
As for the two people who controlled Liaodong, He Xi did a lot of things.
First, that is the ideological tendency of the two people. Liu Jing himself favors the new law and is a pragmatist, while Wu Gao, although cautious, does not reject the new law.
Second, before the army started, their families were all in Liaodong at the moment.
Wu Gao's family is all in Liaodong. On the one hand, He Xi managed to get a lot of properties for Wu Gao. Most of the Wu family are taking care of business in Liaodong, and Wu Gao's sons are studying in the Imperial College in Beijing. But Liu Jing is more convenient. Liu Jing's son was in the Imperial College in Beijing, and He Xi found a way to arrange a marriage for him. Liu Jing couldn't leave, so Liu Jing's wife came over to meet her in-laws.
Although marriage is a major event, it is best to do it in your hometown. But the coming and going delayed my studies. And just by looking at each other, you can’t tell what it will look like in the end.
Although He Xi didn't know how to threaten them by detaining their relatives. But it also saved them from being threatened by Nanjing. As for some of the side relatives who stayed in Nanjing. He Xi wished Zhu Yunwen would kill him.
Third, they actually all know that in Nanjing's eyes, they are He Xi's direct descendants. He is a rebel. Naturally, he will not fall into a trap.
Furthermore, He Xi’s operations in Liaodong are truly deeply rooted. It can be said that today's officials in Liaodong University are all from the four schools in Liaodong. He can be regarded as He Xi's disciple and grandson. Not to mention, Nanjing restarted the imperial examination and how much they attached importance to the imperial examination. Liaodong was very opposed to Nanjing.
Without him, the education system established by He Xi has become the core of Liaodong officialdom. None of these people passed the imperial examination, and they will not be able to pass the imperial examination in the future. In other words, once Nanjing wins, Liaodong will be suppressed the most. With this kind of interest relationship, Liaodong could not oppose Nanjing even if it wanted not, and there was no need for He Xi to mobilize.
Liaodong is even more active than Beijing. Liaodong and Nanjing, only one can survive.
In this atmosphere, it was impossible for Wu Gao and Liu Jing to go against Liaodong's wishes. Not to mention, He Xi had already made arrangements in Liaodong. If there is any change between the two of them, it will not hinder the development of the situation in Liaodong.
Facts have proved that, as expected,
What Xi had expected. Liu Jing and Wu Gao were both smart people and there was no movement at all.
But He Xi also knew that there might not be confusion and resentment in their hearts. So He Xi must go to Liaodong to integrate Liaodong's manpower and material resources. Only then can we actively prepare for war and win this war. In fact, this is also a problem encountered in Nanjing. When something like this happened, the central government's control over local areas became looser. It’s just that the situation in Beijing is better than that in Nanjing. The area under Nanjing's jurisdiction is too large. Integrating transfers takes time. As for Beijing, there is actually only one Hebei and one Liaodong. It is very easy to integrate them.
Yao Guangxiao said in a low voice: "Sir, during this period, His Highness has conspired a lot with Xie Jin, as well as Deng Zhen. Xie Jin and Deng Zhen made great contributions to persuading the Beijing Peripheral Guard. Now the Beijing Peripheral Guard Everyone has surrendered to the prison state."
He Xi knew what was going on as soon as he heard it.
Beijing’s influence on health centers around Beijing is absolute. Therefore, although it cannot be said that there is no risk at all in convincing the public health stations around Beijing, the risk is not great, and it can even be said that the credit is given away.
And Zhu Xiongying's tendency is also obvious.
There is a gap between the monarch and his ministers.
I guess what Yao Guangxiao wants to talk about is not who is favored and who is not favored, nor what is the situation around Beijing? But this.
He Xi trusted the horse's rein, smiled slightly, and said, "I got it."
Yes, I know.
For He Xi, the reason he was afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang was not because Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor. But the emperor is Zhu Yuanzhang. To He Xi, Zhu Yuanzhang was an elder, a teacher, and a comrade. This complex feeling made He Xi feel timid when facing Zhu Yuanzhang.
But who is Zhu Xiongying?
He Xi doesn't care.
Even Zhu Xiongying has his own thoughts, which is normal.
Both Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen were trained by Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Yuanzhang actually didn't pay much attention to training Zhu Yunwen. He was really attentive to training Zhu Xiongying. For Zhu Yunwen, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, he was just a bait to gather the enemies together and catch them all in one fell swoop.
Zhu Xiongying is the true crown prince of Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Xiongying never thought that he would ascend to the throne in this way. During the time he was in Beijing, he never thought about how to take root in Beijing. Therefore, after the uprising, He Xi took control of the overall situation, and Liaodong was He Xi's basic base. He Xi in Beijing has extraordinary influence. He Xi's trip south to rectify the prefectures and counties in Hebei has further deepened his influence into the Hebei region.
This *** is not so much Zhu Xiongying's as it is He Xi's.
Therefore, Zhu Xiongying had an instinctive sense of crisis. It is normal to want to fight and balance each other. This is something a normal emperor would do.
He Xi didn't care about this. On the one hand, He Xi didn't think Zhu Xiongying could beat her. On the other hand, production relations correspond to productivity. He Xi's push for reform this time is to establish a huge market and a set of free trade systems and mechanisms.
This system naturally had a suppressive effect on imperial power.
He Xi did not want to abolish Zhu Xiongying, but Zhu Xiongying had to accept this situation.
This matter does not even depend on He Xi's will.
"However, it's time to have a good talk with Zhu Xiongying." He Xi thought to himself: "The war is coming, and internal friction must be reduced. We will talk about other things later."
He Xi put this matter aside and asked, "Is there anything going on in the west?"
Liaodong is in the east, He Xi is in the south, and in the north is Monan, a desert, and the king of Yan. He Xi doesn't think there will be any big problems, but He Xi is worried about the west. Datong is the gateway to the west of Beijing, and Taiyuan is not far from Beijing.
He Xi also had plans for the west side. Just don't know what's going on?
Seeing that He Xi didn't care about this matter, Yao Guangxiao sighed in his heart. He always felt that He Xi's biggest crisis was no longer outside the four directions, but within the palace walls. However, Yao Guangxiao also feels that nothing major will happen until the world is settled. The real problem will come before the world is at peace.
After all, if you cross the river and burn the bridge, you can settle the accounts later. You can't just burn the bridge when you cross the river. If you don't have the autumn, you can settle the accounts, right? Zhu Xiongying is not that stupid
.
Yao Guangxiao said: "The situation in the west is not very good."
