Lord of the House - v12 Chapter 55

In the past, the General Intelligence Division was spun off from the Privy Council, and the establishment of the Military Staff Department only involved the internal adjustment of the Huaidong Army. The towns in Henan and the Shu Army under the jurisdiction of the Cao family were still under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council in name——

After Yue Lengqiu returned to Guoyang, by mid-December, Lin Fuzhengda signed an order of the Privy Council, splitting Zhengyang and Guoyang from the army of the six towns in Henan, and set up the Changhuai Army, with Tao Chun, Deng Yu served as the commander and deputy commander; official letters and military affairs were transferred from the Privy Council to the Military Staff Department.

Yue Lengqiu served as the deputy of the privy, the censor of the Youdu, the supervisor of Huai, the military of Henan, and the supervisor of grain supply; at the same time, Yue Zhi was transferred from Guoyang Town and served as the deputy commander of the Southeast Navy.

Lin Fu also transferred more than 200 graduates from the Jiangning High Army Command School. He went to Guoyang with Hu Qiaozhong to prepare for the establishment of the Changhuai Army Staff System. Hu Qiaozhong also served as the Changhuai Army Staff Officer.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves. After the government was in power, Jiangning’s military and political affairs no longer needed the approval of the Political Office and the Inner Court. However, for such important military and political affairs as the establishment of the Changhuai Army, it was usually necessary to notify the Political Office in time. , known to the inner court.

When the Queen Mother Liang saw Zhang Yan and Shen Rong’s writing, she spit out a mouthful of blood and stretched out her foot to faint.

In a panic, Miao Shuo sent someone to ask for an imperial doctor, and then sent someone to Mei’an Garden to ask Princess Yangxin to come over.

After the marriage-giving farce broke out, Yuan Yan moved out of the Longevity Palace and lived alone in the nunnery behind the palace. Hearing that the queen mother coughed up blood and fainted, Yuan Yan had the intention to ignore the matter, but she couldn’t bear it anymore, hesitating again and again, and finally brought the maid to Wanshou Palace to see how the queen mother was.

Before entering the inner hall, I heard the old and desperate voice of the Empress Dowager Liang from inside: “The poor family can’t help the ancestors of the thirteen generations of the Yuan family. The situation in Jiangning can no longer be saved, so you should persuade the emperor to think about it. Open up, you all don’t surround yourself in front of the dying man’s couch…”

Hailing Wang Yuanjian, with a frustrated face, walked in in despair and almost bumped into Yuan Yan.

“Uncle.” Yuan Yan saluted.

Yuan Jianhai didn’t respond either. He gave Yuan Yan a wooden look, walked straight to the inner hall, and cried out with a weeping voice: “O ancestor, that Shuzi can’t wait to usurp the throne, Yuan’s children are in great trouble. It’s coming…”

In the eyes of Yuan Jianhai, Shen Rong, Zhang Yan and others, Cao’s family was isolated in Shu, and Dong Yuan was in no time to protect himself in Xuchang. Yue Lengqiu’s public submission undoubtedly meant that Lin Fu would no longer cover up his claim to usurp the throne. The emperor’s intention, usurping the throne will happen at any time.

Yuan Yan stood in the nave hesitantly, looking at the empty and lonely hall, she was also confused for a while: Is this world really going to change the dynasty in the future? Will he really kill the Yuan clan? Sometimes I can’t help but think, since I can’t live with Qiu, it is also a fate to die under his sword!

Thinking of this, Yuan Yan turned and left the Longevity Palace, feeling that everything in the palace had nothing to do with her. She thought of that cold morning nine years ago. After the war, Lin Fu was sleeping soundly in the city, and she hid aside curiously. Waiting and watching, my heart is filled with the beautiful excitement and curiosity that a girl should have – but it seems that all of this does not exist anymore.

Liu Zhi stood outside the gate of Longevity Palace, just quietly watching Princess Yangxin who was lonely and left quietly.

To be honest, the ministers in the Privy Council are not very sure what Lin Fu will do with the Yuan clan and Princess Yangxin.

****************

“This is something that was decided after the battle of Jingxiang. If it wasn’t for this, Lin Fuyan would send the Chizhou army northward, and how would he use Yue Lengqiu to supervise Henan’s grain shovel and control the two towns of Guoyang and Zhengyang?” Yuan Guizheng said. , “Yue Lengqiu led the two towns of Guoyang and Zhengyang to change their flags, no doubt to cooperate with Lin Bing to usurp the throne to create momentum, in order to deter other opponents…”

In the Xuchang government office, Dong Yuan, Liu Tingzhou, Yuan Guizheng and others were sitting in front of their heads.

The two towns of Zhengyang and Guoyang changed their flags and established the Changhuai Army. Hu Qiaozhong led hundreds of generals from the Huaidong Army to enter the Changhuai Army to establish a staff system. Yue Zhi was transferred to the Southeast Navy, one of the core forces of the Huaidong Army, as a deputy. Commander, this is a clear and clear indication that Yue Lengqiu, Yue Zhi, Tao Chun, and Deng Yu have officially merged with Huaidong.

Although this incident shocked Xuchang especially, Yuan Guizheng, Liu Tingzhou and others all thought that this was Lin Tiezai accelerating the pace of usurping the throne.

Dong Yuan frowned, shook his head firmly and slowly, and said, “Yue Lengqiu is not the kind of person who will easily hand over himself completely. Could it be that Yue Zhi, as the deputy commander of the Southeast Navy, gave Yue Lengqiu the assurance that he would be able to Better than taking the two towns of Guoyang and Zhengyang into his own hands? Something must have happened, something critical must have happened to make Yue Lengqiu make up his mind!”

Yuan Guizheng and Liu Tingzhou looked at each other, and the two of them didn’t care what Dong Yuan said, and even thought that Dong Yuan was a little suspicious. The two of them insisted that Yue Lengqiu, like Zuo Chengmu and Hu Wenmu, had secretly joined Huaidong for a long time. At this time, he led the two towns of Zhengyang and Guoyang to change their banners. It was not that Lin Fu was quick to usurp the throne.

Dong Yuan was puzzled and said slowly, “Xu is to send some eyeliners to Haizhou…”

Yuan Guizheng and Liu Tingzhou were equally puzzled:

Don’t think that Haizhou is already a big city with tens of thousands of residents, but as the logistics support base of the Northern Army, the entire city is still under arms control, and outside the city is surrounded by arms control areas.

Factory owners and sea traders who are interested in the military procurement market must apply to the Privy Council, and only after review by the military can they enter Haizhou to set up factories and be included in the military procurement system of the Northern Corps. Strictly no less than enlisting soldiers into the army.

Jiangning and Chongzhou are much more open, and it is relatively easy to collect intelligence, but it is very difficult to send eyeliners to Haizhou to infiltrate. Dong Yuan has always been cautious, afraid that something will fall into Lin Bing’s hands. At this time, he sent an eyeliner to Haizhou. Once the eyeliner was captured by Huaidong, it would almost completely block Xuchang’s retreat.

Yuan Guizheng and Liu Tingzhou were still very puzzled about Dong Yuan Tiexin’s belief that Haizhou was hiding a secret that others didn’t know, but they would not object. If the eyeliner sent by Xuchang was unfortunately captured by Huaidong, then Dong Yuan would have no other way out except to raise the banner of the Kuangfu imperial family against Huaidong.

*****************

Dengzhou City is the connection point between the Qing Landing Ground Defense Line and the Locking Sea Defense Line. Xiongqi also set up his garrisons in Dengzhou City. At the same time, the West Temple Supervisor, who was in charge of searching for Jianghuai intelligence affairs, was also located in Dengzhou City.

In General Dengzhou’s line, Tong Huacheng, the chief supervisor of the West Temple, held up a cup of tea with a dignified expression, stared at the steamy tea cup, thought for a while, and then turned his head and said to He Xiongqi, “These three In the past few months, the four Huaidong confidential texts intercepted by secret agents from the south at the risk of death all mentioned the words ‘Fu Fire Crossbow’, ‘Tier 3’, ‘Tier 4 battleship’; Yue Lengqiu returned to Haizhou after going to Haizhou. Guoyang immediately changed his flag… If you simply understand that Lai Lin Fu intends to speed up the pace of usurping the throne, it seems inappropriate.”

Su Tingzhan stood on the right side of He Xiongqi, and saw that He Xiongqi’s face was tense like a dead tree.

Although Na Hexiongqi was defeated by the Huaidong Army in the early days of Jiangdong Left Army, but when it comes to understanding and vigilance of Huaidong, few other generals in Beiyan can match that Hexiongqi.

Although under the insistence of Emperor Tianming, the generals appointed on the Hehuai line of defense, such as Ye Jiduodi, Ye Jiduodi, Zhou Zhizhong, Yuan Tingli, Na Hexiongqi, etc., were all able to have a clearer understanding of Huaidong. However, in Yanjing, most of the princes and ministers were not alert enough to Huaidong.

Since the beginning of the winter, seeing the recovery of vitality from the defeat of Jingxiang, and the improvement of military equipment compared with before the battle of Jingxiang, many princes and ministers in Yanjing could not hold back, and shouted to organize a southward offensive.

They put the responsibility of Jingxiang’s setback completely on Ye Jiluorong’s improper command and the enemy’s tricks and tricks. They did not admit it or were unwilling to admit that the Southern Dynasty under the control of Huaidong had actually obtained a strategy. advantage.

There is a world of difference in whether the strategy is to adopt an offensive or defensive posture~www.mtlnovel.com~.

To adopt an offensive posture, it is necessary to push the main force to the more peripheral defenses such as Jining and Jimo. Although it can cause great pressure on the troops of the Southern Dynasty, it will also weaken the defensive flexibility of one’s own side.

Once the judgment is wrong, and the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty have the will to fight decisively, a major setback in the peripheral defense lines such as Jining and Jimo may lead to the collapse of the entire defense line.

Then He Xiongqi looked at Su Tingzhan and asked, “General Su, what do you think of Yue Lengqiu’s change of flags?”

Although Su Tingzhan knew that the decision did not lie with him, He Xiongqi’s question of himself made him feel extremely stressed.

Su Tingzhan also knew that the princes and ministers in Yanjing generally believed that Yue Lengqiu’s change of flag was a key step for Lin Fu to usurp the throne and proclaim himself emperor. If this is the case, then Beiyan’s garrison on the defense lines of Henan and Shandong should take more measures. The positive situation should be advanced as far as possible to the south, at least to ensure that Cao Yiqu has the courage to establish a new emperor in Yuzhou and Dong Yuan to fight against Huaidong in Xuchang.

However, after dealing with Huaidong for so many years, Su Tingzhan believes that Yue Lengqiu’s change of flag is more likely to be the first step of Lin Fu’s organization of the Northern Expedition – Su Tingzhan thought for a long time and said: “Tingzhan thinks that Director Tong is the director Everything makes sense, and we can’t be too optimistic about the current situation.” Having said this, Su Tingzhan’s words became sharper, “I think the court should not be fully expecting any benefits from Lin Fu’s usurpation and self-reliance. It is to mobilize and raise funds immediately to deal with the upcoming Northern Expedition of the Southern Dynasty…”

“General Su also thinks that this is the first step of the Huaidong Army’s northern expedition!” He Xiongqi breathed a long sigh of relief, then turned to Tong Huacheng and said, “Prince Duodi, I will write to you directly, Director Tong. , you should go directly back to Yanjing to report this kind of abnormality to the emperor in detail…” My QT room is open!
