Chapter 869: Merit

Zhang Ming...

Chen Kaizhi gently put on a desk and a waterway inspection... He seemed to be a little in charge, but since he was a waterway inspection in Mengjin County, his responsibilities were quite large. To put it bluntly, what he was responsible for was the safety of the Yellow River waterway in Mengjin section, which was crucial.

Chen Kaizhi glanced at Zeng Guangxian, and then he told him lightly: "Let me find a way to contact Zhang Ming, and try more, so as to prevent this person from being cheated."

Zeng Guangxian had already inquired about it and said to Chen Kaizhi: "This person can rest assured, because he is from Shandong, and his family is in Shandong."

Chen Kaizhi understood Zeng Guangxian's meaning: "Since that's the case, how could Yang trust him?"

"The key to the problem is here. Zhang Ming was originally a prisoner who had killed someone, so he fled. When he arrived in Guanzhong, he met the sons of Yang, changed his name and gave him a heavy responsibility. However, his background was unknown to others, but the Jinyiwei found it. The reason why he found out his background was a coincidence because his identity was a bit strange, and he had no relatives or reasons. At that time, he thought he was a secret chess arranged by the Empress Dowager, so he ordered people to visit him and noticed that he was getting close to some goods in Shandong. Finally, he followed the clues and realized that he had been secretly asking the goods to bring something to Shandong. After checking, he realized that he had been secretly asking the goods to take something to Shandong. After finally checking, he realized that it was probably about it."

"He was worried about the rebellion of Yang. He knew that Yang would not be able to seize Da Chen. The best result was to separatist Guanzhong. He relied on Da Liang and even hoped to make friends with the Hu people, and then use the geographical advantage of Guanzhong to ensure his own safety. Once separatist, he would be completely separated from his family in Shandong. What's more, the Jinyiwei had already contacted him secretly. He was afraid that the Jinyiwei would reveal his identity, and he was even more afraid that His Majesty would issue an order to kill his family in Shandong, so he could be at our mercy."

Zeng Guangxian analyzed it with great clarity and had already grasped the man's weaknesses. Chen Kaizhi heard the words and nodded constantly: "Look out again, the waterway inspection in Mengjin County... This... is a vital place."

When Chen Yishou heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly and asked curiously: "Does your Highness want to attack from the water?"

Chen Kaizhi smiled at Chen Yishou, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a few sly sensual meanings.

"What do you think?"

"No." Chen Yishou shook his head like a rattle, and opposed it very much: "Your Majesty, it's not that I'm talking too much. Mengjin is in the upper reaches of the river, and we are in the lower reaches. The current river is not fast, but to reach Mengjin, you need to paddle. Moreover, the boat is not fast, and you can't use a turbulent ship with heavy drafts. At most, it's just a black-sailed ship. If there are too many people, it's very easy to find... This... is very inappropriate. If it's the army in Guanzhong, it's convenient to raid downstream. You have to go upstream. Your Majesty, we have no chance of winning."

“Are hundreds of people enough?”

Chen Kaizhi asked.

Chen Yishou was stunned, as if he was a little unbelievable, as if he had heard it wrong, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and he stammered, "Count... Hundreds of people..."

Chen Kaizhi looked at Chen Yishou, nodded slightly, then calmly said coldly: "At this point, if a great war is made and a large army is mobilized, it will not only last for a long time, but also need to be out of the country. Once a long battle is unfavorable, it will inevitably lose its military spirit. At this point, there is only a different story. Now the army in Guanzhong is all Chen in Hangu Pass, but Chang'an is empty. If there is a surprise soldier landing in Mengjin,

Mengjin is only a few dozen miles away from Chang'an. If someone covers it, he can reach Chang'an overnight. If he can attack Chang'an at this time, he will not only achieve great achievements within a month, but also be enough to shock the world. The soldiers and civilians in Guanzhong are all my great Chen people. They are just entangled by Yang's rebellion and independence. If he can defeat Chang'an in one fell swoop, the rebels at Hangu Pass will definitely collapse without fighting and collapse."

Chen Yishou couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, this is too risky, but..." He was moved. Although this step was risky, the benefits were huge.

Chen Yishou pondered for a while before slowly asking: "Who is Your Majesty going to send?"

Chen Kaizhi knew that Chen Yishou had concerns, so he did not explain directly, but smiled at him: "I have my own arrangements. However, before this, the court needed to set up a suspicion array, and to make some examples, issue an order, and pass on the envoys of various countries, especially the envoys of Xiliang. I must express my attitude to the people of Xiliang and issue another order to order the Ministry of War to prepare a memorial to quell the rebellion, so that the rebels know that the court is determined to send troops to fight the rebellion, and will recruit troops from various states and attack from Hangu Pass."

Chen Yishou cheered up and seemed to think it was feasible. He couldn't help but nodded repeatedly: "Yes, this can be prepared both ways and to cover up the eyes. Unexpectedly, Your Majesty has sent a group of troops to launch a surprise attack, Your Majesty is wise."

Only Mr. Yan looked worried, but he said nothing and waited for Chen Yishou to say goodbye.

Everyone was almost gone, and Mr. Yan sighed and frowned at Chen Kaizhi and said, "Your Majesty, this move is too risky."

Chen Kaizhi smiled and said, "I have convinced Chen Qing's family, why should Mr. Yan..."

Mr. Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head gently: "That's because Mr. Chen does not know the nature of Your Majesty... His character... Mr. Chen thought that you would send powerful generals to you, but I know that in such an important action, the elite among the elites must be sent. With His Majesty's character, he will do it himself. This is what I worry about. Your Majesty is now in charge of the country and is the king and father of the subjects of the world. How can you take risks easily?"

After being with Mr. Yan for a long time, Mr. Yan seemed to have seen his thoughts clearly. He had already understood what he was thinking, so he was very worried.

Chen Kaizhi just smiled slightly and comforted Mr. Yan: "It is precisely because he is burdened with the country that this battle is crucial. If he cannot immediately cut off the mess, he is afraid that he will arouse suspicion from the subjects of the world. I want to surrender. Will I rely solely on the blood of the late emperor? What's more, when I first ascended the great treasure, the soldiers and civilians have already suffered a lot because of the chaos in the temple. They must not use large-scale troops. Since this is the case, they can only take a different approach. But if I just send a general to lead the troops, it is not that I am worried. It is just that someone dares to call himself emperor. In my Dachen territory, they collude with other countries and intend to make their own independence. If I don't take action personally, how can I make the guests from all over the world subjugate?"

"For the past five hundred years, most emperors have been in the temple. This may not be a good thing. To put it bluntly, they are just lying on the merit book of Emperor Taizu Gao. Now the great palace is in a mess. It is an extraordinary time. If you want to reform and strengthen the future, you will inevitably touch the interests of many people. In addition to using soft means, you must have a high prestige. Since I ascended the throne, I have been destined to be a king who can be a successful emperor. I must be like Emperor Taizu Gao who has made achievements for generations. To lay the foundation for the country pattern of Emperor Taizu Gao for the next five hundred years, if you want to change, you must have enough prestige. If someone refuses to surrender, you will be pleading. If it is useless, you will beat them, break their bones, and personally destroy their fantasies. What's wrong?"

His eyes were bright and bright, he glanced at Mr. Yan, and then he said word by word.

"I want to let the people of the world know that I cannot defeat. I can turn my back on any unjust minister and teach them that there is no place to die. This time, I must take action personally. Emperor Taizu Gao won the world immediately. Today, I also need to rely on the horse to rule the world. I would rather strive for strength in killing than enjoy the cause."

His eyes drooped slightly, as if he thought of what happened before, so he sighed before saying slowly.

"I was born in a slightly cold and started in the fields. I have seen many sufferings among the people. Now, the Great Chen has suffered a lot, with countless refugees and land annexation. Half of the people in the world have been unable to get enough clothes to keep warm and not enough food to fill their stomachs. If I were born in a wealthy family, I could not see such shocking things in the world. I talked about reform and strengthening, reform and innovation, and enriching the people. This is a boast. But I have too much empathy and know that people's livelihood is difficult, and Da Chen has many problems. It is impossible to break the ground and divide the territory of various countries. To change, we must establish absolute reputation. This battle is necessary."

Mr. Yan smiled bitterly: "The old minister dare not persuade him, but actually..." He coughed twice and spoke helplessly: "Actually, if the old minister had known that His Majesty could not persuade him, there must be some great reason. Your Majesty has both ambitions and should be different."

Chen Kaizhi originally thought that Mr. Yan would beg hard, but he expected that Mr. Yan was still quite "enlightened". Perhaps he knew him too well and the things he decided could never be changed, so he did not persuade him because it would be useless to say too much.

Thinking of this, Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but smile: "There is something that I remember, do you still remember the father of the Empress Dowager?"

Mr. Yan nodded and then said to Chen Kaizhi: "I remember, this person is really strange, I don't know if he has died."
