Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

The night is deep.

The Qianqing Palace is still brightly lit.

In the hall, the order is still as usual.

However, what is different from the past is that in the past, at this point in time, Zhu Youjian, who must have been buried between the memorials, was nowhere to be seen.

"Your Majesty has gone to the side hall again?"

Cao Huachun, who came in a hurry, looked around the empty hall and asked in a low voice.

"Well, Your Majesty doesn't let anyone disturb you, you have to wait, Lord."

Wang Chengen nodded irrefutably.

"I heard that Your Majesty did not allow anyone to enter that side hall, and for this reason, he killed several servants?"

"We don't know what His Majesty is doing inside, but what we want to do is just follow His Majesty's orders."

Wang Chengen was also a little puzzled. Since more than a month ago, the emperor let people empty the back of the side hall, there must be a period of time every day to stay in it alone, and no one is allowed to enter. Even the old man who has accompanied the emperor for many years is not qualified.

"Is it related to General Li again?"

Cao Huachun rolled his eyes, but he knew that in the past, the secret letter exchanges between Li Xiu and His Majesty were all passed through the East Factory, but later, it became a direct dispatch from the Yongwei Camp. The cavalry, specially acting as a messenger, went back and forth between the capital and the Yongwei Camp.

While Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun were thinking about it, Zhu Youjian was sitting in the side hall, holding a letter and watching intently.

In front of him was a stack of envelopes. These were undoubtedly the secret letters that Li Xiu sent to the capital during this period of time.

For Li Xiu, Zhu Youjian's support is indispensable to all his strategic plans at present, but now that he is outside the capital, he can only let Zhu Youjian understand himself through secret letters one after another. all plans.

After a long time, Zhu Youjian slowly put down the letter and looked at the stack of envelopes in front of him. Zhu Youjian frowned, apparently thinking about something. After a while, he stood up and turned to look at the wall behind him. hanging on a map.

The map clearly marked the situation in the entire northern part of the Ming Dynasty. However, compared with the professionalism of this map, the unprofessional markings on the state of the enemy and the enemy on the map were undoubtedly extremely discordant.

This dissonance was naturally ignored by Zhu Youjian. He was a man with no military knowledge. He had to **** and understand the map by himself, and then he also needed to understand the strategic deductions described by Li Xiuxin, and he also needed to understand what Li Xiu said. In all aspects of gold, it is already not easy!

Looking at the map in front of him, Zhu Youjian was obviously a little complacent.

Li Xiu said in his remarks that he naturally believed in it, but before, he knew it and didn't know why.

But now, it took more than a month of time and energy for him to finally understand the specific meaning of Li Xiu's memorial.

After this, he finally understood what happened to Daming's confidant, Houjin.

I finally understood why Li Xiu decided that Jin would definitely enter the border and loot later.

Even more understand, Li Xiu's good intentions.

I also understand more clearly, the helplessness under this heavy bondage!

Obviously you can defend the enemy outside the country, but you can only let the enemy drive straight in!

After realizing all this, Zhu Youjian suddenly realized how naive his previous political ideas were.

Why did Li Xiu often emphasize that when discussing with him, everything should not be rushed.

Thinking of Li Xiu's earnest and seductive appearance, the silent support behind him, his silent planning, and his little by little control of his path to power, Zhu Youjian's face couldn't help but show a hint of sadness.

As the Son of Heaven, he can't even protect the people around him...

"Hey!"

In the silence, there was a deep sigh of guilt and helplessness, and it also lasted for a long time.

Although it was dark and the palace was quiet, Zhu Youjian did not rest.

Up to now, Zhu Youjian has understood that he is not a genius of the sky, or even that he is not the material of the day.

A random official in the court can play him round and round.

However, the heavy responsibility is on the shoulders, the emperor has high hopes, and the courtiers work hard and plan!

He can only choose to be diligent and able to make up for his own shortcomings.

When Li Min broke dawn, Zhu Youjian walked out of the side hall dragging his tired body.

At this time, in the main camp of the Brave Guards in Luliang County, Shanxi Province, tens of thousands of soldiers had already assembled. Under the constraints of heavy orders, they marched hurriedly towards Yan'an House in Shaanxi in the darkness before dawn. go.

The war against thieves in the Yongwei Camp has nothing to do with the Trilateral Governor's Office.

It's just that war is simply needed, and war after war is needed to sharpen the front of the Yongwei Battalion and accelerate the growth of the Yongwei Battalion.

Putting down thieves and chaos is just an incidental matter.

…

The army is divided into three armies, the vanguard of the former army, the main force of the central army, and the rear army of food and grass logistics.

Only this time, Li Xiu did not regard the cavalry as the vanguard, but ordered Zhou Yuji to lead the infantry army with 3,000 soldiers and 2,000 auxiliary soldiers.

Li Xiu led the main force of the Chinese army, and then, in addition to the first battalion of infantry, Li Xiu also transferred the cavalry battalion.

Front, middle, and rear, the three armies launched together and went straight to Yan'an House in Shaanxi!

If it is said that Shaanxi is a famous poor place in the Ming Dynasty, Yan'an Prefecture can be regarded as a poor place of the poor land.

Since the Wanli period, this Yan'an mansion has never been full of officials in the prefecture and county. Whenever an official is transferred or arranged to Yan'an mansion, he often finds various excuses to refuse to take office, or even go with the seal.

Up to now, Yan'an House has become a disaster area for civil unrest, and the official shortage even reached seven or eight out of ten.

The lack of official governance, coupled with the fact that it was originally a poor place, and now is plagued by natural disasters, it is logical that Yan'an Prefecture has become the hardest hit area of ​​civil unrest.

Looking at the entire Yan'an Prefecture today, there are only a few important towns in the territory that have not fallen, and most of the other counties have already fallen.

Now the whole of Shaanxi is full of beacon smoke, although the three-sided governor's office has already launched the suppression of thieves, but Yang He's strategy of suppressing thieves is to focus on cuddling, and chasing and suppressing.

Under such a strategy of suppressing thieves, the current focus of the three-sided governor's office is naturally not to mobilize troops to eradicate the thieves, but to send envoys to various places, busy with pacifying the thieves.

Naturally, Li Xiu couldn't agree with Yang He's strategy of killing thieves. In fact, whether it was the killing he was about to start now or Yang He's pacification, before the root cause of the problem of relief and resettlement could not be solved, it was a temporary solution. Do not cure the root cause.

So, of course, there is no right or wrong at all.

As for whether his own advance would disrupt Yang He's arrangements, Li Xiu actually felt that he was helping Yang He.

He suppressed the thieves, and the thieves were afraid, so Yang He's strategy of appeasement was naturally more effective.

Li Xiu just didn't know if Yang He could appreciate his good intentions...
