Chapter 425
"The emperor of the Tang Dynasty has arrived, and all officials welcome you!"
A sound like a soprano sounded in the hall. This was the palace maid in Li Qi's palace singing the name. Because the eunuchs intervened in politics in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, Li Qi learned from his lessons that he did not use eunuchs in the palace, but chose strong women as palace ladies, either beautiful girls or working servants.
Moreover, Li Yan was not very fond of women. In the harem, there were two queens and four concubines. Li Yan and Chen Dexing were both two wife-like configurations. One of them was Li Cuixian's mother Wang. She was the re-sing of Li Yanguo and only gave birth to Li Yanguo and Li Cuixian. Li Yanjian, the crown prince of Li Yanjian and Chu King Li Yanbang were both born by Li Yan's Yuanfu.
There is another queen who is Tachaer's sister named Huo Zhen (also translated as Hua Zheng). She is a bit thick, but not ugly, and has a very cheerful personality. She is twenty years younger than Li Qing, and she is quite liked by Li Qing. She was not affected by Li Qing's rebellion and was still named the queen.
As for Li Feng himself, although he has become the emperor now, he still has no airs and is friendly to everyone, like a loyal elder. He is definitely of the opposite temper to his mother, the Imperial Master.
When Li Yan heard that Li Yan had arrived, Li Yan's three sons looked at each other and quickly got up. Prince Li Yanjian also whispered loudly: "Everything is careful, stand up for the shift!" The generals buzzed and returned to their positions, and they hit me and touched him for a long time. Li Yan was loyal, so naturally the people below were not afraid of him, so they would inevitably be loose when doing things.
The generals of the Li family stood in the class as soon as they saw Li Yan and Wang Wentong talking and laughing and turning out from behind a screen. The generals knelt down to greet each other, and raised their eager faces and looked at Li Yan.
Li Qi smiled faintly at the generals under his command and glanced at them one by one. He waved his hand slowly: "Sit, sit, sit!" Li Qi regarded himself as a revival of Tang. Therefore, officials here can sit in court, not on chairs but on cushions. In theory, they have to kneel. But in fact, they are all more comfortable sitting cross-legged. As for the dance ceremony of the Tang Dynasty, a group of old Shandong farmers would not dance. They just knelt down and knelt down.
Li Yan himself, Wang Wentong, and Li Yan's three sons also knelt, but their kneeling posture was very standard, and they obviously had practiced it.
Seeing that all the generals were sitting down, Li Feng smiled and said, "Shi Tianze, the chief marching chief of Henan Road, submitted a statement saying that he was willing to purge Heshuo for me and expel Mongolia!"
When Old Li spoke, the smile on his face could not be concealed. Among the original Mongolian Han marquis, Shi Tianze and Liu Heima were the best fighters. Shi Tianze and Wen and Wu were still talented above Liu Heima. Now that Liu Heima is dead, Shi Tianze defected to the Tang Dynasty again. It seems that the Central Plains is already the Tang Dynasty!
Hearing this, all the generals below were smiling. Once Shi Tianze completely turned to the Tang Dynasty, the Dong family and Shuntian Zhang family in Dengzhou also saw them turn against each other. The Shi, Dong and Zhang families were all able to fight Han marquis, and the three families had a total force of less than 60,000 to 70,000. In addition, Li Yu's current troops and 200,000 Tang troops were already available. And they also got generals like Shi Tianze, Zhang Rou and Dong Wenmo!
Li Qi looked at everyone with a smile, "The Empress Dowager also returned to the palace yesterday. She had negotiated with the Ming King in Putuo Mountain... The Song State was restrained by the Ming King, and the Ming King's navy had occupied Zhoushan Island, which belonged to Qingyuan Prefecture, ten days ago!
In addition, the Ming King also promised to send troops to sweep western Liaoning, southern desert and central Liaoning this fall. It will restrain the four kings of Mongolia's host for our Tang Dynasty!”
"My son congratulates the father! Message asks for the battle!"
"With King Chen Ming restraining the kings of the Mongolian hosts, my Tang Dynasty will definitely win this battle! My son congratulates him on behalf of his father! My son is willing to be the foreman!"
"Father, my son is willing to be the forefront and lead his troops to attack Jingzhao Mansion!"
As Li Yan finished speaking, the three young masters Li jumped up almost at the same time to ask for the fight. The voice was loud, as if they were not giving in to each other.
Li Yan smiled bitterly. He had many sons, and three were more capable. But there was only one emperor throne.
However, a bitter smile flashed, and another smile with confidence was replaced by a smile. Li Yu said: "Chang'an, Luoyang is the imperial capital of our Tang Dynasty, and Yidu is just here. Now Shi Tianze has firmly surrendered. I will return to the capital of Luoyi first, and then fight with Mongolia and the land of Wuhan!"
There was a buzzing sound below. Although Luoyang is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, it has been ruined for hundreds of years. When the Song Dynasty entered Luoyang, Luoyang was almost empty, and it was far from the prosperous Yidu that Li Yu had managed for many years. Moreover, although Luoyang is in a dangerous terrain, it is surrounded by rivers and mountains, it is too close to the Jingzhao Mansion, Kublai Khan's base camp. To the east of Luoyang, there is a large plain with no dangers to guard. If Tachaer and other four Mongolian host kings abandoned their old nests in northern Liao and western Liaoning, they went south of the desert and went south of Yanyun, then it might cut off the connection between Luoyang and Yidu!
Of course, Li Yu knew what his subordinates were worried about. He raised his hand slowly and said slowly: "Don't worry about things in the north. I will send an envoy to Mingdu and ask the Ming King to attack and pull Kaiping as soon as possible. Kaiping controls the Jinlianchuan grassland, which is the foundation for governing the grasslands in the south of the desert. It is Kublai Khan, and Tacha'er must save it! If the Ming King wants to become the lord outside the frontier and take the former momentum of the Great Liao Dynasty, then Kaiping will be where the Xia Nabo of the Ming Dynasty."
"Nabo" is the transliteration of the Khitan word Xingzai. Although Chen Dexing would not learn from the Khitans to make four Nabos, and they would reincarnate on time in spring, summer, autumn and winter, it is still necessary to establish a large stronghold that governs the southern grasslands of the southern grasslands. Kaiping City is such a place. As long as Kaiping is taken down, most of the southern grasslands of the southern grasslands will be under Chen Dexing's army. Such a fertile eastern part of the southern grasslands of the southern grasslands cannot become the winter playground for the Mongols. At the same time, Chen Dexing's stronghold in Liaodong, Shenyang can become a base for sweeping the grasslands east of the Daxinganling Mountains, which is also the winter playground for the four hosts.
Losing two major winter pastures, the Mongolians found it difficult to gain a foothold in the eastern part of the Mongolian grasslands. They either moved westward or fought with Chen Dexing in Kaiping-Shenyang!
No matter how the Mongolians choose, it is very beneficial to Chen Dexing.
After hearing what Lao Li said, all the generals smiled. Thinking about the fact that Tachaer and the four kings would not ignore their winter playground being controlled by Chen Dexing and sent troops to the Central Plains. It is almost autumn, and winter can be in the blink of an eye. If there is no grassland to settle, can their cattle, sheep and horses survive the winter?
Li Yan looked at everyone with a smile, and reached out to light his beloved son Li Yanguo: "Nanshan..."
Li Yanguo had already been eager to try it out, stood up and bowed, and his voice was loud: "My son is here!"
Li Feng smiled and said, "Your sister Cuixian is now the wife of the Mingwang Wang. Just tell me to go to the Mingdu Mansion. When you come back from Mingdu, you will stay in Yidu with your grandmother."
"Son... I obey the order!" Li Yanguo was naturally reluctant, but his father was unable to do anything. Moreover, he knew that his father was deliberately trying to help him out and prevent him from participating in the war and making meritorious service, so as not to become a "Li Shimin".
Li Yu said slowly: "We have now changed the system of government troops. There are eight guards and hundreds of governments, 1,200 people in the upper palace, 1,000 people in the middle palace, and 800 people in the lower palace. Calculate the quota, which is more than 100,000. In addition, the Jinan soldiers, Xu Pi soldiers, Henan soldiers, Shuntian soldiers, and Dengzhou soldiers who depend on us. It is no less than 200,000! This time, the government soldiers used half of them, Jinwu Guard, Left Wu Guard, Right Wu Guard, and Leading Guard were all dispatched. Together, they were five horse stairs.
There are more than ten military governments (Li Yu's military soldiers are not very different from the Tang Dynasty, and they are not separated from soldiers and generals. The military commander must also lead troops to the expedition. However, when the military government goes out, some officers and soldiers will be left in the garrison, maintaining the military government system so as to continue training and recruiting reserve troops). The Long March athletes in each mansion will be replenished to 1,000. Those with vacancies will be transferred to the other four guards to make up for 5,000 elite troops, and they will be handed over to you!"
As Li Yu spoke slowly, he also led the General of Jinwu Guard Li Yanjian, General of the Left Wu Guard Li Xiong, General of the Right Wu Guard Li Marshal, General of the Leader of the Guard Tian Shidu stood up solemnly and responded loudly. The four of them lined up in a row and bowed together: "I am willing to wipe out the captives for Your Majesty and revive our Tang Dynasty!"
...
"You two have arrived in Lin'an, you must be careful. The Jinyiwei has set up a separate contact point for you. Qifu Inn in Jijia Lane, Lin'an, the shopkeeper Mo Widow and the pawn hall Lu Xiaohou are all our people."
Liu Yang, the leader of the Jinyiwei, was seeing off guests at this time, and was sending off guests at an inconspicuous fishing village pier on Zhoushan Island. Those who were sent away were Deng Qiuzhong, a famous Changguo scholar who was being "chased" by the Jinyiwei, and his disciple Bai Zhanji.
On the surface, Deng of Changguo looked collapsed, and more than 100,000 acres of land were confiscated - because the Deng family was strong and unwilling to join the thief! The Deng family's demands were either "exiled" to Liaodong to start a mining department, or placed under house arrest in Changguo, and stayed in the door. Only Deng Qiuzhong escaped with the help of his disciple Bai Zhanji... Fortunately, they did not escape empty-handed. The Deng family also had industries on the mainland, and also hid 100,000 stagnant of copper in some industries - hiding copper was popular in this era. When the scholars and officials had money, they liked to dig a hole at home and buried it, so it was not surprising that the Deng family hid copper in the farmhouse on the mainland.
With identity, copper, and a single-line connection channel for organizations, the spy activities of Deng Qiuzhong and Bai Zhanji can be carried out.
The main task of the two spies in Lin'an is actually not dangerous. They are not to spy on the confidential information of the Song Dynasty, but to sing a high-profile call for reform and revival of rituals, which will constantly cause trouble for the treacherous minister Jia Sidao.
"The officials must keep in mind the judge's instructions and will act carefully when they arrive in Lin'an." Deng Qiuzhong bowed and saluted.
Liu Yang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send you here. I'll meet again when my Ming Dynasty takes over Jiangnan! At that time, the two will be founding heroes. The rewards and punishments of His Highness the Ming Dynasty have always been fair. Any meritorious service must be rewarded. The two counts and viscounts will definitely have a future!"
