Chapter 385: Dispatching troops
"Where is Feng Congyi, what is he doing?"
"Where is Guan Zhenyun? Is he a pig? I don't even know anything about others' murder?"
In the magnificent Tai Chi Hall, Li Jian's sharp voice was roaring with some distortion. The civil and military ministers were silent. The Taizhou guards brazenly dispatched a large group of troops to kill Guan Pengju, which meant that rebellion was a foregone conclusion. The two guards in Taizhou plus the town army, and 200,000 troops turned around and killed them. The heavy blow to Dayue was not only in the military sense, but also in the political blow. ([] )
Li Xiao formally raised flags in the three southern states to rebel. The emergence of the last emperor's will had the world turmoil, and the people everywhere were frightened and undecided. There was originally a scene where Guan Pengju and Cao Yi were trying to suppress Li Jian, but it was not enough to respond to the various places. But now that Guan Pengju is dead, the two treasures have been gone, and the balance that originally favored Li Jian has begun to rise.
The Taizhou Guards returned a total of 200,000 troops, which left no more heavy troops in the north. It can be imagined that the Mongols and Yuan generals occupied the northern part of Dayue without any obstacles. In the west, the White Lotus Sect's rebellion has become increasingly powerful. Now, it has forced Ye Kai to retreat to Guizhou City. Dayue is really like a giant ship wandering in the sea of anger. Although it seems stable, there are holes everywhere on and off the ship.
"Your Majesty!" Although Cao Yi was also stormy in his heart, his long-term career as a chief minister had already helped him raise a cunning state where Mount Tai collapsed before him. The more critical the situation was, the more people above the ranks could not panic, otherwise the situation would be worse. What's more, Shangjing is not a solid piece now. After Li Jian took office, he had no time to carry out a large-scale cleaning in order to uproot Li Xiao's power, and major events would come to his face. If Li Jian panic, it would only make these people feel more likely to find things. If Shangjing is in chaos, it would be impossible to deal with it.
"Your Majesty, although Feng Congyi controls the Taizhou army. However, the Fourth Master has controlled Taizhou for a long time. He has placed too many confidants in the two armies and the army in the army. Congliang, Su Can and others plotted to rebel. Feng Congyi was powerless to stop it. At this time, it is no longer the time to pursue Feng Congyi's dereliction of duty, but to mobilize troops immediately. It is necessary to block the rebels north of the river. It is best to rely on the natural danger of the river and stabilize the situation. Otherwise, once the rebels cross the river, their form will deteriorate to the point of being out of control." Cao Yi said.
"What the Chief Supervisor said is very much." Xu Enmao also came out to agree, "Your Majesty, as long as the rebels are blocked north of the river, there will be natural dangers in front of them and the Mongols and Yuan troops that follow them, even if the entire army is not complete, they will be unable to cause harm to Dayue's abdomen."
Li Jian took a deep breath and slapped the table hard. "What Fourth Master, that's a traitor, the sinner of Dayue."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cao Yi's face changed slightly, and he was slightly angry. Even the late emperor was polite to him. Li Jian was at a loss at this time and actually shouted at the chief assistant angrily. Xu Enmao's heart sank slightly, and glanced at Cao Yi. Cao Yi lowered his head like nothing happened, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up at Li Jian and turned a wink at Li Jian. Li Jian was slightly stunned, and then he realized.
"Prime Minister, I've made a mistake!" Li Jian nodded to Cao Yi, "I'm confused by the anger, don't blame the Prime Minister!"
When the emperor apologized in the court, Cao Yi felt a little relieved. "Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to send a large army to Jiangzhou. We must block the rebels north of the river. Secondly, we must stabilize the Shangjing. We must not be in chaos. Third, the encirclement and suppression of the three southern states must be accelerated."
"Who does the candidate sent to Jiangzhou want to be the chief supervisor?" Li Jian asked.
"Cheng Qun is a good person!" Cao Yi said: "Cheng Qun is experienced and is enough to take on this task."
"Cheng Qun?" Li Jian pondered for a moment. Cheng Qun's performance was not very good during this coup. If it weren't for the Empress at that time and the Empress Dowager now appeared in the Jinwu Guard camp, it is still unknown how Cheng Qun did. The biggest possibility was to lead troops to attack and ruin his own major affairs. This person was indeed capable, but unfortunately he was loyal to his father, not himself. He was more interested in Xue Chengyi, the commander of the guard of the prison.
As if seeing through Li Jian’s thoughts, Cao Yi reminded him, “Your Majesty, you need stability to go to Beijing.”
Li Jian suddenly woke up. Indeed, going to Beijing is more important. Xue Chengyi staying in Shangjing can better ensure the safety of Shangjing. But can Cheng Qun trust it? He looked at Cao Yi and knew that Cao Yi must have something to say.
"Congratulations to the good, Su Can and others rebel against the court, led wolves into the house, and placed billions of people in the northern part of Dayue in the water and fire. They have become sinners for thousands of years. All the loyal and righteous people of Dayue are angry with their actions. A few days ago, Cheng Qun had a little fuss with his ministers, and his anger was beyond words. They wanted to sleep with their skin and eat their flesh." Cao Yi said.
Li Jian understood what this said. Cheng Qun might be dissatisfied with him, but he had no doubt about Dayue's loyalty and righteousness.
"Since that's the case, then I will be promoted to General Yunhui, commanding the Jinwu Guard, Qianniu Guard, Baotao Guard, and led the four guards, a total of 120,000 troops, and assigned two thousand Modao teams to attack Jiangzhou and wiped out these rebels north of the Yangtze River!" Li Jian said.
The twelve guards of Dayue, Taizhou went to Wuwei and Xiaowei, suppressed the Bailian Sect and went to Weiwei. This time, Li Jian took out the four guards' troops and put a lot of money into it.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Cao Yi bowed and retreated. Cheng Qun was unwilling to stay in the capital again. This time, he happened to take this opportunity to send him out. Cao Yi believed Cheng Qun, not to mention that the behavior of Congliang and Su Can did indeed violate the taboo of Dayue. Cao Yi said that Cheng Qun hated the two of them and was itchy, which was not a lie.
The muddy water in the capital is indeed not suitable for a straightforward general like Cheng Qun. He can let him leave the capital to fight the enemy and give full play to his strengths.
There are not many veterans!
"How to deal with the rebellion in the three southern states and the White Lotus Sect?" Li Jian asked: "Ye Kai has been unable to win many times, and the White Lotus Sect is becoming more and more prosperous. The current trend of the two can only focus on one of them."
Xu Enmao knew that Li Jian’s intention was to put Li Xiao’s southern part first.
"Your Majesty, I will actually recruit the White Lotus Sect and focus on encirclement and suppress the three southern states!" Xu Enmao said.
"Please give in to these mud legs?" Li Jian asked unwillingly.
"Your Majesty, the White Lotus Bandit Cult is developing rapidly. Hundreds of thousands of people from the association have captured cities and plundered the land. Ye Kaixiao general led the Weiwei Guard to defeat him. If he was to recruit people, he would lead the disaster to the south and let them attack the southern states. Even if they could not defeat Li Xiao, they could greatly consume the strength of the southern states. If the two tigers fight, they would definitely be injured. At that time, there would be only one enemy we need to face." Xu Enmao said.
"Two tigers fight?" Li Jian pondered for a while, and finally nodded, "Since that's the case, I'll have to help you with this matter!"
"I am willing to work hard for everyone!"
The morning court ended, and before Xu Enmao and Cao Yi had left the Forbidden City, an eunuch ran out of the inner palace panting.
"Two sirs, Your Majesty invites you to the Ganqing Hall to discuss matters!"
Cao Yi and Xu Enmao looked at each other, a little surprised. The morning court had just ended, and what happened again? The two of them did not dare to be negligent. They hurriedly followed the eunuch to the Ganqing Hall, and saw that Li Jian was filled with joy.
"Your Majesty!" The two bowed.
"Two sirs, sit down!" Li Jian said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After the two of them sat down, Li Jian spoke, but he couldn't help but feel joy. "I just received a message from Gou Jing that Li Xiao from Ezhou is fake."
"Fake it?" the two stood up.
"Yes, it's fake. My so-called second uncle found a substitute who looked very similar to Li Xiao to deceive the world. We actually deceived him." Li Jian said.
"Where is Li Xiao?" Cao Yi asked nervously. The relationship was too big.
"Gou Jing estimated that the fourth brother's evil deed should still be within our control. Gou Jing was laying out a net to arrest Li Xiao. He used to arrest him secretly, but this time he could publicly mobilize people to search. Li Xiao's portrait and other sea captain documents have been sent. As long as he is still within our control, he will be doomed!" Li Jian smiled.
Cao Yi also breathed a sigh of relief: "It would be great if he could catch Li Xiao. If he caught him, whether it was the three southern states or the rebel army in Taizhou, he could make an edict, and this rebellion that filled the entire Dayue would end in vain."
"I have authorized Gou Jing to act cheaply."
"Your Majesty's wise!" Both of them nodded and praised.
Li Jian's face suddenly changed, "There is another thing to discuss with the two adults."
"Your Majesty is so serious!" Cao Yi bowed and said, "I don't know what Your Majesty said?"
"We need stability to go to Beijing, and if it is stable, we must do something. Some people have been tolerating them for a long time. Now that Taizhou mutiny is in a rebellion in the south, letting these people be a disaster. Maybe they will jump out and bite us at any time. Instead of doing this, it is better to take action first and completely clean these people!" Li Jian said in a murderous manner.
Cao Yi remained silent. Once Li Jian's decree was sent, he would inevitably have blood flowed into a river of water in the capital. But at this time, he could not express any objections. At this time, the storm was flying, and iron-fisted rule was necessary. Cleaning up those who had two intentions can indeed unite people's hearts and make everyone work together and think together.
Xu Enmao expressed his agreement, "Your Majesty, this matter should be done long ago."
"What do you think of the chief supervisor?" Li Jian is still unable to catch up with Cao Yi's consent. Although this made Li Jian very unhappy, Cao Yi is now the candidate he has to rely on.
Cao Yi pondered: "Your Majesty, it is not advisable to be too harsh. Li Xiao's hard-core subordinates and factions can naturally be dealt with strictly, but those who are on the fence are still forgiven. At the moment, I believe they should know how to do it."
"The chief minister makes sense!" Xu Enmao said: "With leniency and strictness, it may win people's hearts."
