Chapter 857
In Chang'an, the palace of the King of Zhou, the matter is underway.
Wu Sangui stood in front of the map, frowned, "What's going on with this juguer Mongolia? Why don't you attack yet!"
Since ancient times, the Central Plains dynasty did not want the northern nomads to attack, but now Zhou State is looking forward to the Mongols going south as soon as possible.
This is not because Wu Sangui had a mental problem, but because of this, the Zhou Kingdom could quickly fight to defeat Junggar's troops, and then guard against the Ming Dynasty.
Now, the Junggar's troops are hanging without launching, and don't know when to attack, but it makes it difficult for the Zhou State to feel at ease, for fear that the Junggar's attack will collide with the Ming Dynasty's attack.
In this way, the Zhou State faces a situation of attack on both sides and will be in danger of destruction.
Therefore, for Zhou State, since it was discovered that Mongolia in Moxi and was about to launch an attack on Zhou State, it would be better to expect the Mongols to attack as soon as possible.
Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think it is better to take the initiative than to wait for the Mongols to attack!"
When Wu Sangui heard the words, he turned around and smiled on his face: "The words of the right prime minister are exactly what I mean."
~~~~~~~
In Chang'an City, within the Ministry of War, the Right Minister Chen Mingxia was busy handling affairs within the Ministry.
At this time, he picked up a letter of order and suddenly called out: "Master Liu!"
In the outside room, a middle-aged official heard the sound and stood up, quickly stepped in, saluted and said, "Shao Sirong called him a low-ranking position!"
Chen Mingxia handed the handwritten order to Liu Yumo and said, "Take this letter of order to the Ministry of Revenue. The colleagues there will work with you to allocate supplies."
"Adjust supplies?" Liu Yumo accepted the letter of order, but did not leave. Instead, he asked: "Shao Sirong, how dare you ask what is it? It is more convenient to handle the job in a humble position."
Chen Mingxia glanced at him. Both of them were from Jiangnan. After the Jiashen Kingdom changed, they first surrendered to Shun and then to Qing Dynasty. After Wu Sangui conquered Chang'an, they turned to Zhou Kingdom.
The fellow villager is a fellow party member, and Chen Mingxia still trusts Liu Yumo more. Moreover, the large-scale mobilization of military resources can no longer be kept confidential.
"It was originally a secret, but now there is nothing to hide!" Chen Mingxia put down the Chinese book and looked at Liu Yumo and said, "November, the court learned that after the Prince of Ordos County, Elin, fled to the west of the Mo, colluded with the Zhuangge tribe with the intention of attacking our Great Zhou. After the emperor discussed with the right prime minister, he decided that instead of waiting for Jungge to attack, it was better to take the initiative. Guanzhong was poor and had just recovered in the past two years and could not suffer from war. Instead of waiting for the Mongols to come, we should kill us. Therefore, now our Ministry of War must coordinate with the Ministry of Revenue to prepare the army for the expedition as soon as possible."
Liu Yumo was shocked. He didn't hear the news about such a big thing beforehand, and he didn't say it until he needed to mobilize food, grass and weapons and could not hold it in his pocket.
It seems that the people below have been wary of leaking the news.
"Receive the order in a humble position!" Liu Yumo hurriedly bowed and then said goodbye and left.
At that moment, Liu Yumo first went back to his desk, looked at the contents of the warrant, then cleaned up the desk, and then stood up to go to the Ministry of Revenue.
At noon, officials from Zhou State can rest for an hour.
Usually, Liu Yumo would go home for a meal, take a nap, or have a drink with his colleagues in a tavern.
Today, when he came out of the Ministry of Revenue, Liu Yumo did not make an appointment with his colleagues, nor did he eat at home, so he changed his clothes, so he walked a long way to a street near the Liudu Yamen, and entered a business-like diner.
This tavern has been open in Guanzhong for four years and was already open when Xiqing was there.
However, the shopkeeper seemed to be unwilling to operate, and his business was not very good, and he didn't know how to survive until now.
At this time, the bartender saw a guest coming in and immediately stepped forward, "A distinguished guest."
Liu Yumo ignored it and went straight to the second floor private room. The bartender hurriedly followed, cleaned up quickly, and then asked, "What kind of dishes should I order objectively!"
Liu Yumo said: "Birds flying in the sky and beasts flying on the ground, each brings one!"
The bartender was slightly stunned and said calmly: "Customer, please wait!"
The bartender hurriedly closed the door and went downstairs. Soon, the shopkeeper took a bartender upstairs and served a few dishes and a pot of wine on the table.
At this time, the shopkeeper waved and asked the bartender to retreat, then bowed and said, "Master Liu!"
Liu Yumo had a cold face, pushed an envelope in front of him and said, "I have figured out what you are going to investigate."
The shopkeeper sat opposite them with a smile, took out the envelope, took out the letter paper to watch, his face suddenly changed, "Where is Zhou State going to fight?"
The letter is a detailed list of Zhou's mobilization of a large number of military ordnances and food.
Seeing the shopkeeper's expression, Liu Yumo said: "Don't be anxious, it's not fighting the Ming Dynasty, but attacking the western Mongolians of the Moxi Province! Not long ago, the Zhou army sneaked into Hetao, and a Tartar prince ran to the western Moxi Province. Now he is persuading the Tartars in the western Moxi Province to attack Guanzhong. Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou decided to take the initiative first to avoid the devastation of the people in Guanzhong and depleting the vitality of Zhou!"
When the shopkeeper heard the words, his expression relaxed a little and said with a smile: "I hope that the Zhou army will attack the Ming Dynasty, so that the Regent can send troops to attack and destroy the Zhou Kingdom. You and I don't have to worry every day."
The shopkeeper paused and continued: "It seems that the last battle in Hetao made Zhou State taste the sweetness. This time he dared to rush thousands of miles to attack the western Mo."
"In the Battle of Hetao, the Zhou army suffered minimal losses, but it recovered more than 100,000 Mongolians, obtained one million cattle and sheep, and more than 20,000 cavalrymen." Liu Yumo said: "If Moxi came here, the Zhou army could only fight in Guanzhong. Even if it won, it would be a tragic victory. Now that we take the initiative to attack, we have a hint of the style of the Han and Tang dynasties."
The shopkeeper said, "It seems that the Zhou State is eager to call the vassal because of the Mongols in Moxi. This makes sense."
Liu Yumo then said, "This information is useful to you!"
The shopkeeper said seriously: "It's useful, Master Liu, you have made contributions!" After that, the shopkeeper leaned over, held Liu Yumo's hand, and shook: "I thank you on behalf of the organization!"
Liu Yumo yanked his hand angrily and said coldly: "Stop this set! Where is the money?"
Seeing that the move invented by the Regent was useless, the shopkeeper stepped back and sat down, took out the silver notes from his arms, and said with a stern face, "This is a silver notes of five thousand taels!"
Liu Yumo didn't go to answer, "It's useless for me to take it. You can hand it over to my family. Also, let the local government not make things difficult for them!"
The shopkeeper nodded, but then said, "It's better for the Military Information Department to save it for you! There's nothing we can do about it! If you don't make things difficult for them, you will be unsafe here. You can bear it anymore and wait until the Ming Dynasty conquers Chang'an, it's fine."
Liu Yumo thought about it, so he could only nodded, and then said: "The cabinet and various ministries blocked the news very strictly. It should have been realized that there are people in the court who have secretly communicated with the Ming Dynasty. I will not come to you again soon, so don't send anyone to me. Also, if I die, you won't swallow my money!"
