Chapter 61 Internal Problems of the Grand Marshal's Mansion

An error occurred while processing s private files

The most urgent task is to stabilize the northwest and actually control the northwest. Li Hu's hesitation was seen. When he told me, "Control the northwest and cannot become enemies with Bian Jing. The only way now is to build the Shaanxi General Administration Department, Fushi and Liulu Supervisors."

"You are now the Marshal of the Northwest. You are in charge of the Northwest Military Shaanxi General Administration and the Commander of the Sixth Route are under your control. If you want to undermine them, it will be difficult but before the Hebei War is defeated, you can find a way to invite them to Taiyuan."

"After the failure of the Hebei War, Zhong Shidao, Yao Gu and others have to bear the responsibility. Once they leave the army, Bian Jing will not have any military generals to take action, let alone commander. Moreover, Bian Jing will no longer trust military generals. These generals will lose one battle. In their eyes, they will be inferior to others. In this way, Bian Jing will have to use civil servants to command the army to fight. In this way, defeats will be one after another." "The battlefield in Hebei is defeated like a mountain. Bian Jing can only ask you for help." Tong Guan looked at Li Hu and said slowly. "You arrive at Bian Jing. First solve the problem of Bian Jing. Then control the overall situation. Find ways to mobilize food, grass and weapons. Only in this way can you defeat the Jin army."

Li Hu lowered his head and thought for a while and asked, "The decisive battle is about to be winter?"

"There is no autumn harvest. We don't have enough money and food.

"Tong Guan said. Without enough money, we will not be able to adjust millions of people. Even weapons manufacturing may stop."

Li Hu looked up at Zhang Xiaochun. "Now there is less money, food and weapons in Taiyuan?"

The warehouses in Xijing, Nanjing were also empty. The warehouses in Daming, Beijing have been empty for a long time. After Hebei defended the rebellion for more than two years, where did they pay back their money, grain and weapons?"

Li Hu smiled bitterly and shook his head. Da Da was bankrupt. He started with Tong Guan mobilized 20,000 troops to launch the Northwest War and then fought the Northern Expedition. Redeem Yanjing. Comfort the Yanjing. Then there were more than two years of anti-rebellion wars. There were two Western Expeditions. There were also natural disasters year after year. In particular, the Cangzhou section of the Yellow River broke into a dike, which was a heavy blow. In this case, the old emperor was still licentious and extravagant, and it was a waste of money and wealth. Even if the Song Dynasty was full of gold, it was consumed now. What kind of war did not have money, food and weapons?

"The Tiger Lie Army in Taiyuan is about 170,000 to 170,000 to 180,000 to 100,000 to 100,000 to 100,000 to 100,000 to 100,000 to 100,000 to 100,000 to 100,000 to 100,000 to 100,000 to 100,000 to 100,000 to 100,000 troops in just one month. If a 150,000 army is called to enter Hebei for combat, the consumption of hundreds of thousands of people will be added, and the consumption of weapons and various materials will be added. Then the military capital will be at least 10 million. We cannot afford this battle."

Zhang Xiaochun, Huang and others talked about the finances of the Northwest to Li Hu more than once. This is also an important reason why Zhe Yanzhi was willing to risk being dismissed from his post in Bianjing to personally lead the charge. He prevented Qian Gai Fan Zhixu and others from becoming chiefs from all directions in the Northwest.

Shaanxi's finances are not enough to make ends meet every year. They rely entirely on Bianjing's subsidies for subsidies in recent years. The wars in the northwest have been constantly in the past few years. Natural disasters have been more severe. However, due to the rebellion in Hebei and Shandong, Bianjing's finances cannot maintain much subsidies and stay in official documents. There is no money and food to be sent to Shaanxi.

Zhe Yanzhi, as the right deputy commander of the Northwest Marshal's Office, arrived in Chang'an and sent people to Sichuan and Shu and Jinghu. He took the imperial court's official documents and directly robbed money. Of course, it would not work with force. He could only rely on other people's territory by relying on imprisonment or bribery.

If Zhe Yanzhi had been in power a few months ago, it would definitely not work. But now the old emperor and the young emperor have been engaged in each other. The local area is at a loss and very chaotic. Zhe Yanzhi is just taking advantage of the situation. In a few months, the local area will know that the old emperor is not good. Now the young emperor is in power. I guess he has to obey. Not a little emperor is in power. He is not a little obedient. He is bullied by Prince Yun in the northwest and cannot raise his head. He has no prestige. He will definitely be slandered and disobeyed each other. He will wait to see the good show of brothers fighting each other unless the young emperor wins the victory of the Hebei War.

Tong Guan and Yuwen Xuzhong prevented Li Hu from sending troops to the river. This is also one of the reasons. Prince Yun should have a legitimate reason to be an emperor and also to obtain local support. In this chaotic era, Bian Jing suffered consecutive defeats on the battlefield. The centers fought for power and profit and fought each other. The central officials changed like a lantern. The local power will of course take the opportunity to expand. This is inevitable and natural. When the local power is greater, the power of Bian Jing and the central power will naturally be smaller.

When Prince Yun ascended the throne, he might not be able to achieve outstanding results on the battlefield. To win on the battlefield, he cannot do without the support of local land and food. Therefore, he took advantage of the opportunity of being in trouble in Bianjing and quickly established a good relationship with local officials in Sichuan, Sichuan, Jinghu. It was not because Prince Yun won the imperial throne.

Important steps.

The foundation of Hu Lie Mansion is the Han and Fan factions in the north. It is impossible to rely on Hu Lie Mansion to deal with the affairs of the Song Dynasty. This time, Bianjing helped Li Hu and made him the Grand Marshal of the Northwest. It happened to give Li Hu the opportunity to combine Hu Lie Mansion and the General Gate of the Northwest into one place. Tong Guan, Zhe Yanzhi, Yuwen Xuzhong and Zhang Xiaochun became the strongest help for Li Hu to solve all the Song Dynasty questions.

Perhaps in the eyes of Li Hu and Hu Lie Mansion, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Hu Lie Army to enter the Song Dynasty to take root. But in the eyes of Bian Jing, this may be the best way for the Song people to use the control of the Hu Lie Army. In short, in the appointment of Li Hu as the Great Marshal of the Northwest, the struggle between Bian Jing and Datong entered a **. Whoever wins and loses depends on the final result.

Li Hu and Hu Lie Mansion lacked in-depth understanding of the Song Dynasty. Many things must be solved by the Song people. This led to the power of the Northwest Marshal's Mansion not being tilted towards the Song people. As a result, the decision-making power gradually became controlled by the Song people.

Tong Guan and Yuwen Xuzhong did not explicitly oppose Li Hu's dispatch of troops to Hebei. However, they proposed a series of difficulties that were enough to force Li Hu to give up sending troops to Hebei.

Li Hu is now riding a tiger. He is determined to send troops to Hebei to turn the tide and then go south to Bianjing. However, Tong Guan and Yuwen Xuzhong obviously disagree. Zhang Xiaochun rejected Li Hu's decision in one sentence.

"General Commander, we must first solve the problem of Shaanxi. Control the six routes of Shaanxi in hand. Only in this way can we ensure the security of the northwest. To solve the Shaanxi question, we must form an alliance with the Xixia to negotiate peace. The Xixia people must have contacts with the Jin Kingdom. If the Jin Kingdom wants to enter the Central Plains and occupy the northern part of the Yellow River, they must convince the Xixia people to threaten Shaanxi and Dai to restrain our troops. Richard from the Xixia brother came. And the time for coming was very good. Do you think this is a coincidence? I can conclude that the negotiations with the Xixia people are very difficult. Although we have the advantage, we are forced to the situation. Especially once the battlefield in Hebei is unfavorable to us. | We will not give in."

Yuwen Xuzhong looked at Li Hu, then Dong Xiaohouren sighed and continued: "The matter in Shaanxi can be solved. But the financial crisis in the northwest is difficult to solve. At present, the finances in the northwest cannot be self-sufficient. They must rely on the assistance of Sichuan, Shu and Jinghu. But Sichuan and Shu are not under our control. Once Bianjing turns against us, Sichuan, Shu and Jinghu will definitely cut off their ties with the northwest. What should we do then?"

It's very terrible." Yuwen Xuzhong said solemnly. "It's not that I'm exaggerating. If this matter is not solved well, the Northwest may collapse."

Li Hu felt dizzy and the smile on his face froze.

The room became quiet. Dong Chouwu looked up and saw Tong Guanshen sitting there calmly. He seemed to be confident. So he asked, "What are the strategies Tong Shuai has?"

"If you want to solve this problem, the fastest and best way is to control Bianjing and ascend the throne to the emperor." Tong Guan said. "Now the people in Bianjing are all crazy people. They continue to make trouble. The Song Dynasty is over. To be honest, if the War in Hebei is defeated, it is probably difficult for us to turn the tide. My suggestion is to go south immediately, kill Bianjing, abolish the emperor, and rebuild the imperial throne."

Everyone was shocked. Tong Guan said this without any shocking words and never stopped. Now let's go south to Bianjing. The chance is good. And under the full attack of the Datong Hulien Army, the Jin army was restrained in the Yanyun area. Even if the Hebei War was defeated, the Jin army was temporarily unable to cross the Yellow River. But the problem is that the blame for usurpation was the two kings of Yun and Li Hu. Hulien also became the culprit for the chaos of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty may fall into greater chaos in the future. All regions may take advantage of the situation. No one can afford this consequence.

"This is absolutely not possible." Dong Xiaochou immediately opposed it. "Before Prince Yun ascended the throne, he must achieve outstanding achievements. Defeat the Jin army and recapture Hebei and Youyan was the greatest achievement. With this achievement, Prince Yun ascended the throne has a reason to win the crown."

"When that time, it may be too late." Tong Guan said. "The Hebei War was defeated. Bianjing may not be dispatched to defend the capital. After the Jin army won, I guess it would not be - to attack Bianjing. Instead, it occupied the entire Hebei area. When the autumn harvest and the Jin army hoarded enough money and grain, they would launch an attack. Now there are still four or five months before the end of the autumn harvest. In these four or five months, anything may happen. Bianjing is very likely to turn against us and cut off the money, grain and weapons to the northwest.|We are often passive."

Li Hu thought for a long time and decided to wait a little longer to see how the situation develops. Although the little emperor has not consolidated the throne and deposed him, there is enough reason. However, Prince Yun is not in good condition and hastily changed the imperial throne. The risk is too high.
