Since the fall of Youyun Sixteen Provinces in 618, the war in China has never stopped. Since 618, Emperor Yinglie has never had a stable Spring Festival. Especially this year, Emperor Yinglie has not even slept.
I couldn't sleep well. The seven vassals of the Qingfeng Empire, the Jinhua Dynasty and Mitsukoshi, had already launched an uprising, holding back 100,000 soldiers of the Southern Army, 80,000 local garrison troops, and half of the Jiaolong Army navy. The Uma Dynasty
Now they are also on the chariot of the three major nomads in the northwest. It is only because of the existence of the Hetao army that they are blocked outside the Great Wall. Although the Luoxe Dynasty is small and weak, it is not willing to be lonely now, but there is the Bloody Plateau.
This deterrence will not be a big problem for the time being. After all the calculations, only Goryeo surrendered. However, there was the humiliation of the annihilation of the entire army of 500,000 troops, and the humiliation of the deception of Shanhaiguan later. Such deep-seated hatred
, even if the heroic emperor was the emperor, he would not dare to agree without permission.
The Northeastern Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms north of the river are now gathering troops again. Thinking of a total of 600,000 elite troops, including at least 200,000 cavalry, pressing down on the north bank of the river, the heroic emperor has a headache. Now on the south bank of the river, only Li Tiezhan's 100,000 red troops
The Mei Corps and the local garrison of less than 100,000 troops. The only good thing is that the Li family's navy and He Huairen's Jiaolong Corps cooperate quite happily. As long as there is no conflict between them, the Northeast Army will never think of defeating Henan.
In the Yangzhou Road area in the southeast, the Holy Sect of Paradise is desperately expanding. Their cult theory is undoubtedly very attractive to the mobs who do not have any land. Moreover, the four rebellious ministers and traitors known as the Four Generals of Paradise, and the evil words
The military advisor Bing Heng who deceived the public did have some skills. With the support of the Eastern Japanese Dynasty, the power of the Holy Sect of Paradise expanded very quickly. Fortunately, the Qinglong Dongfang and the Suzaku Yellow Turban Army had blocked their path to expansion, but if they did not quickly
Wipe out, once the other party becomes a climate, it will be difficult to deal with it.
The Eastern Japanese Dynasty is also a huge trouble. Although it only has a population of 6 million, under the aggressive military force convinced by its leader Dekang, the navy has expanded to 200,000, and the army has 300,000. The East China Sea and the South China Sea
Along the coast, from Qiongya in the south, to Ryukyu in the middle, and to Shanhaiguan in the north, there are footprints of the Japanese. The harm they caused was even greater than that of the Three Northeastern Kingdoms. And compared with the organized massacres of the Three Northeastern Kingdoms, the Japanese
What's even more disgusting is that they plundered women for them to rape and torture. About five million people were massacred by the Japanese in the three coastal states along Yangzhou Road, but the number of women who were robbed was as high as one million. If it weren't for the inability to catch them, the Yinglie Emperor really wanted to kill them.
All these dirty dwarves were wiped out.
Then there is the Jiangnan Third Route. Although the Jinhua and Mitsukoshi coalition forces are as high as 400,000, except for Jinhua’s famous general Park Zhicheng, the rest are mediocre. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of their soldiers is generally low, and Jingnan Gong is a veteran general of the empire. As long as Han Fu
The Suzaku Legion defended the south of the Yangtze River and prevented the forces of the Eastern Japanese and the Holy Sect of Paradise from getting involved. Moreover, Song Junlin's White Ear Legion has now arrived in southern Yunnan, but Song Junlin does not seem to be keen on war, but with southern Yunnan.
The five ethnic groups are colluding with each other. However, the imperial court is now powerless and has no choice but to let it go. As long as the Xijiang defense line is not lost, nothing will happen to the Dahu and Jiangnan Second Routes. And as long as these two routes are in its own hands, Qingfeng will have the possibility of a long-term war.
potential.
Finally, there was Haotian in the northwest. Emperor Yinglie was very conflicted about Haotian. Whether it was his personal emotions, his feelings for Haotian, or the judgments of Pang Ye and others, he believed that Haotian was a loyal minister.
Moreover, Haotian's men were full of talented people. Even though they were evenly matched, they actually defeated the 200,000 cavalrymen outside the Great Wall who were crossing the Northwest Second Road in one fell swoop. However, Haotian not only rejected the officials placed by the imperial court on the Northwest Second Road, but also his current
His power has indeed expanded too fast. He now has three branches, governs 15 million people, and has an army of nearly 400,000. He is not only Zhang Cangxiong's son-in-law, but he has also formed an alliance with Tianwu Galaxy and Bloody Plateau.
Calculating this, his current strength is not inferior to the three major families who are still concealing their strength. If he is loyal to the imperial court, this person will definitely be a famous minister of the empire in the future. If he has evil intentions, then he will be at least the fourth
The aristocratic family is even a traitor to the country.
"Your Majesty, the Grand Master of the State and Master Tie, Minister of the Ministry of War, have arrived." Zhu Jing, the great eunuch, stepped forward to report.
"Xuan." Emperor Yinglie nodded and said, but then waved his hand: "Wait a moment, let Mr. An Yongchang of the Ministry of Revenue avoid it first."
Another year has passed, and Tie Zhen and the other two have become a bit older than last year. Especially Tie Zhen, an old man in his nineties, whose whole body shows traces of the passage of time. But Tie Zhen, after all,
He was a military general. Although he looked old, his spirit was still strong. Emperor Yinglie sighed in his heart. No one thought that such a large empire was actually supported by three old people like this.
"Give me a seat." Emperor Yinglie asked curiously: "I wonder why the three beloved ministers came here this time?" Taking advantage of the rare rest time in this winter, the whole court was in full swing.
Taishi Sima Danggui has been busy rectifying the officialdom recently. The Holy Sect of Paradise started its uprising on Yangzhou Road. Although it was inspired by cult ideas and supported by the Eastern Japanese Dynasty, the corruption of officials at all levels of the imperial court did play a great catalytic role.
.Youdao means that the government forces the people to rebel, and the rebellion in the seven states on Yangzhou Road was largely caused by this. What Sima Angelica needs to do now is to work hard to rectify the official administration in various places and prevent other areas from following the Holy Sect of Paradise to revolt.
Pang Ye is now mainly responsible for mutual negotiations with the three major aristocratic families, the deployment of various military supplies, and the empire's finances, which are on the verge of collapse. The only territories currently controlled by the empire are Tiandu Shengjing, Yuzhou Road,
It’s just Jiangnan Road and Dahu Road. And the imperial court still controls nearly one million troops and one hundred thousand naval forces. The huge financial pressure and military expenditures almost crushed Pang Ye’s body and bones. And the three major families also have their own plans.
Guess, after Song Junlin sent troops to southern Yunnan, he began to use both soft and hard tactics to win over the five ethnic groups in southern Yunnan. Although Li Tieming had already transferred the Red Eyebrow Army to Yuzhou Road, it was not easy to drag him onto the battlefield.
Things. As for Zhang Cangxiong, his Yellow Turban Army has been staying in Shouzhou, Huai River, unwilling to move until death. Everyone knows that he wants to preserve his strength. It is very difficult for Pang Ye to organize such a broken situation one by one.
Just imagine.
As for Tie Zhen, his task is not easy. This veteran of the Four Dynasties is responsible for reorganizing the army and improving the overall combat effectiveness of the army. Currently, there are only five regular regiments in the imperial court: the Imperial Guard, Qinglong, Dragon Cavalry, Suzaku and the South.
, and a dragon legion divided into two parts. The northern legion and the eastern legion were both rebuilt. Xiang Xing was originally an old man from the eastern legion, and he was also a battle-hardened man. But the eastern legion was all new recruits, although he also worked very hard.
, but there is still a big gap between the combat effectiveness and Tie Zhen's expectations. Zhu Bingyang of the Northern Army is a direct descendant of An Yongchang, and the entire Northern Army is under the control of An Yongchang. Fortunately, An Yongchang also understands the importance of the matter.
They are quite cooperative in training. However, spring is coming soon, and the war will also be active. What will happen, Tie Zhen himself does not dare to guarantee.
Pang Ye and the three men looked at each other, and then Pang Ye said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jingbei has written again, hoping to send troops south to help the court quell the rebellion. The government is very powerful, and the ministers dare not make independent decisions, so
I came here specifically to report to His Majesty."
Emperor Yinglie had a headache. Just now he was discussing this issue with An Yongchang. He tapped his fingers on the table and then said: "Let me tell you your opinions first."
"I and others hope that Jingbei Hou's army can move south quickly. Now the imperial court's troops are stretched thin, and the defense is slightly insufficient. When spring comes, the Japanese navy will inevitably attack our coastal areas frequently, and the three northeastern countries will also inevitably
Increase the pressure on the Dahe defense line. The three major families have always had ulterior motives. During the war, no one can guarantee whether they will be loyal to the empire. However, Jingbei Marquis is still loyal, and the elite of the Hetao army is no less than that of the three major families.
The main army. The old minister believes that if the Marquis of Jingbei raises his troops to go south, it will not only relieve the pressure on our side, but also scare the three major families." Tie Zhen opened his mouth and said.
Emperor Yinglie raised his eyebrows: "Oh? The combat effectiveness of the Hetao army is actually so strong? Then how many Qinwangs are the Marquis of Jingbei planning to raise?"
"Your Majesty, the people of Hetao have always been tough, and almost every strong man is half a soldier. The base of the Hetao army is originally the soldiers of the three major legions of the Northern Expeditionary Army. With a little training, they will become a tiger and wolf army. And
Since the Marquis of Jingbei established his foothold in Hetao, the Hetao army has always been in a state of war, and often uses the weak to attack the strong. Therefore, both the commanding skills of the generals and the overall combat effectiveness of the soldiers have been greatly improved. Although the armies of the three major families, although
They are also well-trained, but only well-trained. They have not experienced the test of war for decades. In the opinion of veterans, with the same number, they are no match for the Hetao army." Tie Zhenxi
He said in detail: "For this time, Marquis Jingbei mobilized 200,000 of the most elite soldiers in the territory, and even 50,000 cavalry from the Bloody Plateau."
"Twenty-five thousand soldiers, a full two hundred and fifty thousand. Such a huge mobile force, even the three major families can't match it. Have you ever thought about it, the Bloody Plateau has secretly formed an alliance with Hetao, and the 100,000 soldiers of the Dragon Cavalry Legion
, there are at least 80,000 people from the Bloody Plateau. Hu Biyandan is also one of the four elders in the Bloody Plateau, and together with the army here, Jingbei Hou’s army has reached more than 300,000." Emperor Yinglie sighed.
said.
Pang Ye immediately understood what Emperor Yinglie was worried about, so he asked tentatively: "Does your Majesty mean that you are worried that the Marquis of Jingbei is planning something evil?"
"That's right. Have you ever thought about it, Imperial Master, if the Marquis of Jingbei is as ambitious as the three great families, then what should we do?" At this moment, An Yongchang's voice came from the side hall on one side. Accompanied by him
Like the sound of gold and stone, An Yongchang's dark face appeared before his eyes.
