Chapter 177 Ming Dynasty is in Action
As soon as these words came out, Liu Jian and others understood and believed them.
A minister hides treasures and armor. What is he doing?
The obvious thing.
"Yang Xuangan is going to rebel!" Xie Qian said in a solemn tone.
"At that time, the achievements and prestige of the Duke of Yue were the first among the officials of the Sui Dynasty, and only the Duke of Qi, Gao Jiong, could compare.
The Duke of Yue was also the biggest foreign minister who helped Yang Guang ascend the throne, but after Yang Guang ascended the throne , but he was extremely afraid of the Duke of Yue.
The Duke of Yue was a powerful man at the extreme level of the Grand Master. He died in the second year of Daye. Except that he was a marshal and was not young. It was Yang Guang who feared and suppressed him.
Yang Xuangan was even more resentful and worried about this. He was also worried that Yang Guang would liquidate the entire Yang family. If Yang Xuangan gets the chance, Yang Xuangan will never let him go and will definitely rebel." Li Jing affirmed.
Having been entangled with the Duke of Yue for nearly twenty years, he knew the Yang Su family very well.
Even better than they know themselves.
Everyone pondered, Yang Su died three years ago, which was another heavy blow to the Sui Kingdom after Yang Jian's death.
Ji Jing, the only great master of the Sui Kingdom, died.
He is still a great master who can command an army, and can be called the strongest person in the Sui Kingdom after the death of Yang Jian.
They had no doubts about Yang Su's death.
Since ancient times, martial arts can extend life.
The congenital person is less than seventy years old and the most is a hundred years old.
The Grand Master can reach one hundred and fifty, the Grand Master’s extreme realm can reach one hundred and eighty, and the realm of heaven and man can reach two hundred and ten.
Those strong Taoists and Buddhists who are good at increasing their lifespan can live longer, and it is not necessarily impossible for them to reach the realm of heaven and human beings to be 300 years old.
Only the emperor and the marshals and generals who commanded the armies could not live longer.
The emperor is responsible for the fate of a country. Martial arts cannot increase his lifespan, and he is no different from ordinary people.
The marshal general is because of the military strength.
First, to mobilize the military strength is to unite with the generals. The generals are also under corresponding mental and will pressure. This is the main reason.
Second, using the power of heaven and earth to influence the military situation also puts a lot of pressure on the general's body.
It might not be a problem at first, but under the mental pressure of the first point, the problem becomes serious.
Double pressure makes the general use more military power, the shorter his lifespan will be.
This double pressure was nothing to the emperor.
Because the emperor is in the destiny of a country and the heart of millions of people, why should he fear the mental pressure from the soldiers?
This national destiny is very overbearing, but it is also a layer of protection.
Otherwise, Zhu Youtang would never have allowed Zhu Houzhao to enter the army, because in that case, with his dual status as emperor and general, Zhu Houzhao's lifespan would only be as short as twenty or thirty years at most.
On the premise that he must become an emperor, becoming a general is no big deal.
So, Yang Su's death was considered normal by the people in the world.
As for Yang Guang's fear of Yang Su, Liu Jian and the others also knew a little bit about it and didn't take it seriously.
After all, Yang Su at that time was the pillar of the Sui Kingdom.
I really didn't expect Li Jing to be so serious. Obviously, Yang Guang played a big role in Yang Su's death.
Otherwise, Yang Su is likely to be able to survive for a few more years.
With Yang Su's death, coupled with other reasons, it is very possible that Yang Xuangan will take the opportunity to rebel.
It depends on whether Yang Guang gives Yang Xuangan a chance?
Will Yang Guang give it to me?
"If we follow what General Li said, then Yang Guang is absolutely afraid of and disgusted with Yang Xuangan.
So, he will not let Yang Xuangan go to the front line to prevent Yang Xuangan from making meritorious service and establishing prestige.
He will not be left in the core of Kyoto.
The only result for Yang Xuangan is to stay behind the army and be responsible for the logistics of food and grass.
This may not be an opportunity. ." Liu Jian muttered, quite confidently.
When it comes to the emperor's thoughts and methods towards his generals, it is the civil servants who know best.
Of course, these will not work for their own emperor.
Everyone nodded and agreed with Liu Jian's words.
"In this case, if Yang Xuangan really rebels, and Meng Yuan takes action, Yang Guang's second personal expedition will inevitably fail.
Then how should the Ming Dynasty respond, and Benefit from it?" Xie Qian still pointed to the core issue.
No matter what happened to the Sui Kingdom, the most important thing was the Ming Dynasty itself.
Revolving around the Sui Kingdom's second million-strong emperor's personal expedition that is likely to fail, the entire world will be greatly affected.
The Ming Dynasty is no exception.
Zhu Houzhao is also thinking seriously.
“Your Majesty, I think that if our Ming Dynasty has a good government and people, it will have strong military strength.
Instead, you can try sending troops into the Sui Kingdom.
But now that South Zhili and Shandong are undergoing thorough investigations, and the new army has just been formed, it is not appropriate to mobilize troops.
Then the only way is to obtain as much benefit from the Sui State as possible. Liu Jian said thoughtfully.
No one else had any objections. Now is indeed not the time to directly send troops to attack the Sui Kingdom.
Zhu Houzhao also knew this.
Although it is a pity for this good opportunity, I can only let it go.
"Well, let's get as much benefit from the Sui Kingdom as possible.
I want the talents, all kinds of information, treasures, etc. of the Sui Kingdom." Zhu Houzhao completely settled the matter main theme. "Your Majesty, I think I can contact Yang Xuangan immediately to express my support to him and determine whether he really wants to rebel.
If he really wants to rebel, then I, the Ming Dynasty, can obtain Various information about the Sui Dynasty collected in the Yue Duke's Mansion
At that time, the Duke of Yue could be said to have conquered the north and south, and he was also said to have all the power. He knew the Sui Kingdom's landforms, mountains and rivers, customs, officials, soldiers, and aristocratic families, etc. very well.
Except for the imperial palace, its collection of information exceeds that of all other aristocratic families.
If I, the Ming Dynasty, get it, I will definitely be able to attack the Sui Kingdom like a fish in water. "Li Jing was the first to speak from a military point of view.
He told the story about Yang Xuangan, and it only involved Yang Xuangan, so there was nothing wrong with being the first to speak.
And those treasures The information is indeed what he is most interested in.
These materials and information may seem inconspicuous, but in fact they involve the lifeblood of the Sui Kingdom, and they are the foundation and inheritance of the generals, powerful people and noble families.
Originally, the Wu Yunzhao family also had it. Although it was not as good as the Duke of Yue, it was still very important.
It’s just that the Wu family was wiped out, leaving only Wu Yunzhao’s two brothers and a young son, and nothing else.
Wu Yunzhao himself knew very little after all.
After all, he was still young at that time and was working as a general outside. How could he have the energy and interest to read countless various materials and information?
"Yes, Your Majesty, these information are indeed crucial.
With these, we can be more effective in contacting the forces and talents of the Sui State.
The most important thing for Yang Xuangan at this time is to rebel As well as a way out, as long as Daming is willing to give the Yang family a way out, he will definitely cooperate with me.
If Yang Xuangan fails, then Mr. Yang’s treasure house will also belong to me. "Gu Xichao. said solemnly.
"Okay, let's have a good talk with Yang Xuangan." Zhu Houzhao made the final decision, thought for a moment, and said curiously: "What will happen if Yang Xuangan succeeds in his rebellion?"
"Your Majesty, the strength of the Sui State should not be underestimated.
Unless Yang Guangxian suffered a disastrous defeat like his first personal expedition and suffered a great loss in strength, Yang Xuangan would have a chance to succeed.
Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for Yang Xuangan Success.
But Yang Guang must have learned his lesson after a disastrous defeat. It may not be easy for him to experience such a disastrous defeat again.
I think that if Yang Xuangan really wants to rebel, he should. Starting while the war is going on will make Yang Guang's second personal expedition fail.
Yang Guang's status and strength were greatly reduced, so that he could seize the opportunity.
In short, it is extremely difficult for Yang Xuangan's rebellion to succeed. "Gu Xichao said.
The other people nodded in agreement.
After discussing for a while, the matter was settled.
Zhang Fengfu arrived soon. Detailed orders were obtained.
After things were arranged, everyone went back to busying themselves with their own affairs.
Although Zhu Houzhao was very concerned about the affairs of the Sui Kingdom, he also knew that he could not do more and could only wait for news.
Jinyiwei, Zhang Fengfu immediately called Weng Taibei and Murong Chong to tell the story.
The three of them discussed it and felt that this time they must have someone of sufficient importance to cooperate with Yang Xuangan.
Weng Taibei offered to go there in person.
He and Zhang Fengfu returned to the palace and obtained Zhu Houzhao's consent to give Weng Taibei greater authority.
The next day, Weng Taibei took more than a dozen people to the Sui Kingdom.
They did not take the sea route, but took the land above Lu, the land junction between Sui and Ming.
Wu Yunzhao and others, as well as Li Jing's family, all came to the Ming Dynasty by land.
Because relatively speaking, the sea route is farther and more unpredictable.
In the event of a sea storm or something like that, even an innate master might not be able to survive on the sea.
Time passed little by little, and news from all over came to Zhu Houzhao from all directions.
In China, things can be considered stable and proceeding in an orderly manner.
There is good news from time to time, such as the land survey and population census in Shanxi.
Guo Bao Gong Zhu Hui also received good news. A talented person has emerged from the Lu Di’s guard station.
Qi Jingtong, who assumed the position of commander of the Dengzhou Guards, was thirty-three years old and had just broken through to the innate realm.
The military ability is very extraordinary. He reported to the military cabinet and recommended Qi Jingtong as the deputy commander of the 15th Army.
Zhu Houzhao was very happy with the emergence of such talents.
In his opinion, innate ability to be good at military affairs was as important to the Ming Dynasty as an ordinary martial arts master.
Because every innate person who is good at military affairs can serve as the commander of an army in the Ming Dynasty and suppress a province.
So he naturally agreed without hesitation.
Let Qi Jingtong and Zhu Hui learn all aspects of the new army first, and then they can let him form a new army in the future.
Abroad, it is still the same.
There was no movement in Song and Jin.
The one hundred thousand cavalry led by Kublai Khan went south very slowly.
Obviously, he would not attack the Ming Dynasty at all.
In the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang, who had been preparing for more than a year, was very fast.
In other words, the Sui State's national strength was still there, and Yang Guang's second personal expedition to Goguryeo was already unstoppable. Nothing could stop him from going crazy, and there were countless people pushing him behind his back, making him even more helpless. People stop.
It was a calm morning in early June.
Zhu Houzhao woke up from practice.
