Chapter 4 Situation Reversal (1)
Chapter 4: The situation reverses (I)
"Emperor, the King of Shu has rebelled!" Sun Chengzong rushed into the palace overnight and woke Zhu Yinglong up from his sleep.
"What?" After hearing this news, Zhu Yinglong was shocked and sweated all over.
"How could this happen? When did it happen?" Zhu Yinglong put a few clothes on himself, but what he saw was Sun Chengzong's anxious and self-blame, and a face with the word "chuan" lying flat on his forehead.
"Four days ago." Sun Chengzong said with a trembling voice.
"What's the current situation in Sichuan?" Zhu Yinglong forced himself to calm down. If he couldn't calm down, how could the ministers who knew the news calm down?
"The postman who was sent to the letter was a personal guard of Sichuan Governor Zhu Xieyuan. He left the Governor's Office just before the King of Shu besieged the Governor's Office and almost failed to leave the city, so the specific situation is not clear." Sun Chengzong said with a sweat on his head.
"Do you know why the King of Shu rebelled?"
"I don't know yet."
"Strictly block the news. If any postman who reported the news, you should take care of him closely. I will ask him personally!" Zhu Yinglong was now in a state of confusion and hurriedly ordered Sun Chengzong.
"The old minister follows the order, but if the King of Shu rebelled, the vassal kings in various places will inevitably be restless. The emperor needs to prepare for the future!"
"The old dean is right. Today, Shu Shu King rebelled, and tomorrow, maybe King Zhou, Hui, and Lu King will rebel. These vassal kings only have their own interests in their eyes, they cannot see the interests of the court, and the interests of the country. If the country collapses and the court is gone, can they protect their power and wealth? They are short-sighted and full of the country's borers!" Zhu Yinglong cursed loudly.
"I want to cure the borers of these countries!" Zhu Yinglong was cruel. He was too slow in secret, which could easily make people with intentions think. Although he got rid of Queen Fu, he asked Li Yongzhen to make seven or eight marquises and so on in a small fuss. He did not use the vassal king's door for the time being. Perhaps because of this, the King of Shu smelled the crisis and refused to rebel to protect his title and wealth!
"Your Majesty, don't act angrily." Sun Chengzong hurriedly advised.
"Don't worry, the old dean, I'm not ignoring the severity of the matter. If the King of Shu wants to rebel, let him rebel. I feel that Sichuan is not a land under my rule. It can't be splashed in water or needles. Now it's just giving me this opportunity."
"Does the emperor want to send troops into Sichuan to quell the rebellion?"
"It's not unnecessary. Qin Liangyu, the general of Shizhu, is a good candidate. Didn't the court send her more than 30,000 strong strength? It's better to let those who know themselves and their enemies do it."
"The situation in Shu is unclear now. What if Qin Liangyu is also a member of the King of Shu rebels, and the one million taels of silver have been transported to the stone pillar." Sun Chengzong said steadily.
"It is hard to know the person and the face. Although I have never seen this female general, I believe that she is definitely a heroine who is outstanding. He will definitely not disappoint me." Zhu Yinglong's all confidence established the historical evaluation of Qin Liangyu that he knew. After all, after he came to this time and space, people and things have changed. Many things that had happened have not happened at all, but what had not happened in history have challenged his superficial stubborn nerves one after another.
If Qin Liangyu really became the king of Shu, there was no way to force him to use the new army. The new army has been formed for almost a year. He originally planned to go south to wipe out the Honglong court in Nanjing in the spring of next year, but now he has to practice troops on the Sichuan battlefield first.
This is exactly the joys and worries of several families. The happiest one is Wei Zhongxian. No matter whether Sichuan can be controlled by him or not, at least it is not under the control of the Northern Dynasties, and it can still create greater chaos for the other party. Naturally, it will not hurt to deal with him. He even wants to prepare for the Northern Expedition. If he makes some military achievements, his country will be more stable.
Just as Wei Zhongxian quietly made up his own wishful thinking, Huang Taiji was also counting his own little jiuji. Although he only learned the news a few days later, he was smart and blocked the news first. He didn't want Daishan and the others to know the news, otherwise he would yell at the attack Ming to break his plan to annex North Korea and annex North Korea. There would be no worries in the east. Although the attack Ming had a good chance at this time, he would only get cheaper others in vain and not get any benefits himself, so he chose not to know, and got a tacit understanding with Fan Wencheng, approved Sony to purchase iron, copper and other strategic materials at a price of 30% higher than the market price, and was busy preparing for the plan to annex North Korea in the spring of the following year.
Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Sichuan, was almost out of control. Due to his carelessness, the King of Shu rebelled successfully, and the calm Sichuan fell into chaos again. He was deeply guilty. Why did he believe that the King of Shu would be lost when he knew it was not feasible and took the initiative to give up this wrong idea? Who knew that this was the King of Shu who deliberately gave up his attitude, which was to make him see it, numb his judgment, and so that he had a bitter fruit today. He was angry and guilty, and was a little injured. After arriving in Chongqing, he was unable to get sick after handing over military and political affairs to Qin Liangyu. After a few days, an old man who was originally energetic suddenly became turbid and his breath became like a scattered person.
"General Du, although we have repelled the attack of the King of Shu rebels, this is only temporary. In a few days, the rebels will make a comeback. Liangyu wants to hear the general's opinions." After three days and three nights of offensive and defensive battles, the King of Shu led the army to temporarily retreat, and Qin Liangyu also summoned the generals to discuss how to go next.
Du Wenhuan's eyes were covered with blood, and his voice was hoarse: "Wenhuan is a defeated general, and everything is followed by General Qin's general order!" Du Wenhuan was also a bloody man. He lost so cowardly, and the Governor was injured. He didn't close his eyes for three days and three nights, fighting on the front line of the city, and there was nothing else in his mind except the word "kill".
Although Du Wenhuan's words have no practical significance to Qin Liangyu, she still admires such a bloody man very much. Du Wenhuan is Zhu Xieyuan's beloved general. He made great achievements in the process of suppressing the Yongning Xuanfu Si She Chongming and was a famous general in the Sichuan Army.
"Liangyu counts, our army is about 40,000, General Du has about 20,000 people, and Chongqing Guards also have 5,000 troops. In addition, Chongqing has defenders, our army is about 70,000. The rebels of Shu King are said to be 300,000, but in fact, it is at most more than 100,000. Apart from the wounded soldiers, our army can pick up weapons, and the battle is about 60,000. We should have no problem with defense, but if we are just defending, it is too passive, so I decided to take the initiative. Everyone see what the problem is there?"
"On the initiative, our army will also have to send troops to defend Chongqing. Once Chongqing is lost, our army will have no way out." The deputy envoy of Sichuan East Army Preparation expressed doubts.
"Yes, at least we can take the initiative to attack if we exceed the rebels in terms of military strength!"
All the generals said something, and I said something. Most generals agreed to stick to Chongqing, waiting for the imperial court to send a large army, and then take the initiative to attack.
Qin Liangyu slowly closed his eyes. Sticking to Chongqing was the safest way. Most of the opponents of taking the initiative were defeated generals of the Sichuan Army. Qin Liangyu was worried about handing Chongqing over to these people. If he wanted to take the initiative, he had to attack with his 40,000 troops. These generals now obeyed their orders, which was Zhu Xieyuan's military order. Once Zhu Xieyuan died of illness, she would probably let these generals obey her orders, especially if she was not a Han person, and she was not a man.
