Chapter 759
After the Western Wei Dynasty took Chengdu, Gao Yihuan ordered people to ship all the utensils from the original Shu Palace, and then flowed along the Yangtze River into Huguang, then against the Han River and Danjiang River to Longjuzhai in Guanzhong, and finally transported by the peasants to Wangjing by land.

Most of these furniture and porcelain were sent to the Wei Palace, and a small part was used to decorate the various yamen of the Western Wei Dynasty, which improved the aesthetics of the Western Wei State and the grade of the government.

Gao Yihuan greeted him, and not long after, many generals, as well as officials from the cabinet and the Ministry of War, filed into the lobby. After giving Gao Yihuan a salute, they sat down on the mahogany chairs on both sides according to their grades.

During the several years since the founding of the Western Wei Dynasty, various etiquettes and etiquettes have been gradually improved. The structure of the ministers of the Western Wei Dynasty has changed. Under the influence of some officials and gentry, the generals who came from bandits and bandits gradually began to talk about etiquette.

At this time, Gao Yihuan was sitting in the middle hall, with the civil and military officers on both sides with their backs straight, their backs not touching the chairs, and half of their buttocks sitting on the seats, staring at Gao Yihuan with their heads straight, with the air of a regular official.

At this time, the army of the Western Wei Dynasty was mainly controlled by the Ministry of War and the Dudufu of the Five Armies. The Ministry of War was in charge of recruitment, equipment, logistics, military pay, meritorious service, and promotion of generals. , as well as specific command during wartime.

In addition, Gao Yihuan added a training department under the Ministry of War to be responsible for the political work of the army.

At this time, Gao Yihuan saw that everyone had arrived, so he said, "Gao Yicheng, this time Xuanyiwei caused Haoge and Dorgon to fall out, and also caused Hong Chengchou to be dismissed as a bachelor, which can be regarded as a great achievement. The lonely king has already decreed that those who participated in the planning and execution will be promoted to a higher rank, and when the Man Qing is destroyed, the lonely king will reward him heavily."

Hauge and Dorgon split and took two blue flags to rule outside the pass, at least weakening the strength of the Manchu Qing by nearly [-]%.

This is a result that can only be achieved by mobilizing an army of more than [-] and costing a huge amount of money. However, Xuan Yiwei completed it with only one meticulous work, which is indeed worthy of Gao Yihuan's praise.

"My lord, thank you King for your help." Gao Yicheng hurriedly got up and clasped his fists, his voice and the gesture of clasping his fists had a hint of embarrassment.

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, raised his hands and pressed down, let him sit down, and then said: "This time in the battle of Luoshui, my Great Wei has obtained a lot of war horses, but even training the dragon cavalry will take at least a year. During this period of time, the Tatar cavalry still has the advantage. In order to prevent the Tatars from having a chance to rest and Dorgon to deal with Haoge, and then pose a threat to the northern line of the Wei Dynasty again, the lonely king decided to take the initiative , launched a large-scale attack on the Tartars."

Although the Western Wei Kingdom had been fighting for a long time and needed to recuperate, and there was pressure to resettle refugees, the situation in the Manchu Qing Dynasty was even worse.

Now that Haoge and Dorgon are falling out, it will be a rare opportunity for the Western Wei Dynasty.

If he didn't take action at this time, and waited for Dorgon to solve Hauge, or to reach a reconciliation within the Qing Dynasty, he would have missed a good opportunity.

In the lobby, all the civil and military ministers whispered to each other, Chen Mingxia stood up and said: "My lord, I agree with your decision to take the initiative to attack, but now the Manchu Qing has deployed heavy troops on the east side of the river, and they are on the defensive side, occupying a favorable location. I It may not be easy for Great Wei to make a difference in Hedong. Besides, my Great Wei is too strong, will Nanjing follow Dongwu and raid Jingzhou?"

Li Dingguo took over the conversation, "Your Majesty, the Qing army deployed a total of more than 34 soldiers and horses in Hedong and Zhongzhou! The total strength of our Wei Dynasty is 20. Excluding the soldiers and horses guarding places, we can mobilize a maximum of 15 troops. Our army has the advantage of equipment, and the Qing army has the advantage of defending the city. With the balance of the two, our advantage is not obvious. The only way to increase the chance of winning is to instigate Jiang Xiang, but Nanjing is indeed an unstable factor. If If Nanjing's attitude changes, the Qing army will be able to use [-] soldiers from Lianghuai, and the situation will be complicated again."

Gao Yihuan frowned slightly. In the past few years, the Western Wei Dynasty fought against the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Zhu Cihong really didn't have much sense of existence, so Gao Yihuan almost forgot about him.

Gao Yihuanwenyu stood up and strode to the sand table. The civil and military ministers sitting on both sides immediately stood up and surrounded him.

"Tell me about the situation in Nanjing!" Gao Yihuan said in a deep voice, staring at the sand table.

At this time, Li Dingguo said: "According to the information collected by Xuan Yiwei, Nanjing has gradually reformed in recent years, rebuilt the forbidden army, and strengthened the centralization of power. The areas actually controlled by Nanjing include Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, southern Huguang, and Guangdong and Guangxi. Only Fujian It is in a state of separation from Wuchang. Nanjing has a total of more than 15 troops, including 30 forbidden troops, 20 troops in Jiangbei, and [-] troops stationed in various places. These [-] troops can be directly mobilized in Nanjing, and the remaining [-] are The soldiers and horses of the Zheng family in Fujian and Zuo Liangyu in Wuchang. Although the soldiers and horses of Nanjing are not strong in combat power, they are quite impressive, and among them, Huang Degong is quite capable of fighting!"

After listening to Li Dingguo's words, Gao Yihuan thought of a phrase "make a fortune in silence", which was Gao Yihuan's previous strategy, and he did not expect to be learned by Zhu Cihong.

In the past two years, Zhu Cihong watched the Western Wei Dynasty and the Manchu Qing fight each other, while he focused on reforms in Nanjing and achieved certain results.

Gao Yihuan originally thought that there were too many internal problems in Nanjing, and Zhu Cihong would inevitably fail, but in fact, Jiangnan faced external pressure, and there was indeed a strong internal voice for reform, which allowed Zhu Cihong to achieve some results.

Gao Yihuan recalled the news he had received before, saying that the Nanjing court opened Ningbo and allowed ships from the Netherlands, Japan, Spain, Portugal and other countries to come to trade in order to counter the Zheng family’s monopoly on maritime trade, and the policy turned to safeguard the interests of the big landlords in the southeast. Suppressing smuggling sea merchants is a bit of a way to follow the Southern Song Dynasty, and I can't help raising a little vigilance in my heart.

The Nanjing imperial court has been unable to gain a firm foothold in the south of the Yangtze River. The reason is that the Nanjing imperial court needs money. Zhu Cihong wanted to solve the financial crisis by collecting taxes from the gentry and landlords in the south of the Yangtze River.This caused conflicts between the Nanjing imperial court and the southeastern gentry and landlords, so internal disputes continued, and the tax increase could quarrel for several years.

Now Zhu Cihong is like the Southern Song Dynasty, making a certain compromise with the gentry and landlords in the southeast, wooing a group of landlords, attacking the smuggling groups in eastern Zhejiang, and solving Nanjing's financial problems through maritime trade.

In this way, the Nanjing imperial court won the support of some big landlords, and the situation improved.

Gao Yihuan felt that after all, Zhu Cihong was the orthodox of the Ming Dynasty, and he controlled the affluent land in the south of the Yangtze River. In addition, he had some troops in his hands. If he was allowed to develop, he might become a difficult opponent in the future.

Gao Yihuan pondered slightly, it seemed that he had to drag his brother-in-law into the water, instead of letting Nanjing watch the show.

At this time, Gao Yihuan looked at the sand table, "This break between Haoge and Dorgon is an opportunity for us, and it is also an opportunity for Nanjing. To guard the river, we must guard the Huai River. Let Nanjing attack the Manchus alone. They have no chance." That courage, if the lonely king invites Nanjing to join the army, do you think Zhu Cihong will agree?"

Chen Mingxia pondered: "If Nanjing can send troops, we don't have to worry about Jingzhou being threatened. At the same time, it can also disperse the pressure of Wei Wei to send troops. The minister agrees to invite Nanjing to send troops. The two families are divided, but I don't know if Nanjing is willing or not. Already~~~"
