Chapter 948

The officials on duty in the palace rushed away to inform the staff to come to discuss matters.

Gao Yihuan stood in front of the map in a daze. He really didn't expect that the Ming army would sail northward.

This is the method used by the imperialists to deal with the Manchus, and that happened hundreds of years later.

If the Ming army had this ability, it could be called a maritime power. The world is so vast, why bother with the lonely king, and go overseas with acquaintance points, and they can survive for a while, and even create a foundation.

Of course, Gao Yihuan knew that such a thing was impossible, and it was impossible for the brother-in-law to give up the world easily.

This military report came from Hu Dawei from Juyongguan, detoured Shanxi, and crossed mountains and mountains. The content of the letter was very simple. Gao Yihuan pleaded guilty.

Not long after, the officials of the Kingdom of Wei who had just fallen asleep came one after another. The hall of the palace was brightly lit, and everyone gathered together, whispering and discussing what happened.

At this time, Li Yan asked: "Chen Ge Department, the king summoned us, what happened?"

In the Wei cabinet, there are now two factions, one headed by Li Yan and the other headed by Chen Mingxia. They have considerable political differences.

The continuous wars in the north have caused the population to drop sharply, resulting in a situation where there are many people and few lands.

Li Yan advocated encouraging the people to reclaim wasteland, resume production, prohibit the rich and powerful from keeping slaves, and insisted on abolishing the per capita tax and changing the land mu tax. To safeguard the interests of the nobles, and the military fields of the nobles require a large number of tenants to cultivate, so it is necessary to restrict the freedom of a large number of tenants. There are certain contradictions between the two sides in terms of production and tax laws.

Chen Mingxia was a bachelor on duty last night. If something big happened, he would know it. After everyone listened to Li Yan's words, everyone's eyes would be on him.

Chen Mingxia sighed: "Your Majesty received two reports, one was from Kaifeng, claiming that the Qing army secretly crossed the river and tried to break the Yellow River, but was stopped by the defenders, and the other was from Hu Dawei, and I didn't read it either. , I don't know the truth!"

Li Yan frowned slightly, and there was a lot of discussion in the hall. Some people immediately cursed when they heard that the Qing army pulled the embankment, and some guessed the content of the Hu Dawei military newspaper.

At this time, a guard shouted loudly: "The king is here!"

The ministers immediately stood up according to their ranks, and Gao Yihuan, who was wearing a black dragon robe, wearing a winged crown, and holding a jade belt, walked into the side hall from the side door surrounded by guards.

"I'll see you, Your Majesty!"

Gao Yihuan waved his hand, "You don't need to be too polite!" Gao Yihuan turned his head and told the guards, "Pass the general's report to the ministers to have a look!"

The guards hurriedly handed over the two military reports to the ministers for circulation, while Gao Yihuan slowly said: "I called you all over the night, there are really some major events, the lonely king got these two reports, you see one look!"

Chen Mingxia glanced at Hu Dawei's military newspaper, stood up immediately, and said earnestly: "My lord, I think I can't wait any longer, and there is no need to discuss it any longer, so send troops immediately!"

Before the other ministers read the military newspaper, Chen Mingxia had already expressed his opinion, and everyone couldn't help turning their attention to him. Obviously, Chen Mingxia had already made a judgment in his heart, but he didn't say it just now.

Gao Yihuan sat up straight and asked, "Tell me about your judgment."

Chen Mingxia said: "In the Tiger Governor's Military News, two points were mentioned. First, the navy of the Ming Army arrived in the coastal waters of Tianjin to take over Beijing. The second point is that the Tiger Governor has sent troops to attack Juyongguan. Now we have no way of knowing the specific situation in Beijing. , but judging from the military report sent by Kaifeng, the Qing army wanted to break up the Yellow River, so I can conclude that Dorgon should have retreated from Beijing to the south. Prevent Wei from cutting off his retreat into Shandong."

Speaking of this, Chen Mingxia glanced at the other people quite complacently, and said with a smile: "So I think that the king must send troops immediately!"

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly. He looked at the crowd and called them over. It didn't seem too good to just break up, so he asked, "Do you have any objections?"

In fact, as long as you read two military newspapers, you can basically come to the same conclusion as Chen Mingxia. Chen Mingxia mainly got the advantage of getting the information in advance.

Li Yan still read the content of the two military newspapers, and then saluted: "I agree with Chen Ge's opinion. No matter what happens in Beijing now, our Great Wei should send troops immediately to wipe out Dorgon and seize the territory of Shandong and Beizhili." State and county."

If the Ming army has accepted Beijing, the Wei army must seize other states and counties. If the Ming army has not accepted it, then the Wei army must also seize the territory.

This is a bit like after Japan surrendered, the Kuomintang and Communist armies seized the Japanese-occupied areas.

Seeing this, Gao Yihuan stood up immediately with a solemn expression, "Mr. Chen, record the decree of the lonely king and order the armies of Hedong and Henan to attack immediately, seize the prefectures and counties, and pursue Dorgon. Be sure to keep the Qing army in Shandong."

"I accept the order!" Chen Mingxia immediately saluted and accepted the order.

Wei Jun has been preparing for the Eastern Expedition for many days. The original plan was to go out in September, but now the plan has been advanced, but the food, grass and equipment have actually been in place long ago.

In the early morning of the next day, banners and flags spread all over the wilderness in the eastern suburbs of Luoyang, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Wei army spread all over the wilderness. The square arrays were arranged like tofu blocks, and it was also like a huge chessboard. The scene was spectacular.

Gao Yihuan boarded the high platform built overnight by the Ministry of Industry, worshiped the heaven and the earth, and then faced the [-] soldiers of the Wei army, and read aloud the call to action "A call for the northern captives to restore Shandong and Hebei", "The captives took advantage of our gap and stole the Central Plains. It has been eight years now. The world For its troubles, Henan has been bullied for a long time. Since the captive chieftain Dorgon led his teachers into the pass, he has poisoned tens of millions of people and ravaged counties. The crimes committed are too numerous to describe."

"Nowadays Hebei Banner fields are all over the place. The men of the Han people are slaves. All the gains from their hard work are owned by the Tartars. The wives, daughters and sisters are abused by the Tartars. Every time I hear about it, I feel heartbroken."

"My people work hard, know the etiquette and justice, and treat others kindly. Why is this? There is righteousness in the world? Why is justice not upheld? Where is the guardian of civilization?"

"Looking at the current situation alone, I am very indignant. Today, no one is upholding righteousness. Although I am lonely, I don't want the people to suffer, and I am willing to fight for the people."

"Today, we, the Great Wei, raised 80 troops to uphold justice, liberate the people, and vowed to destroy the Tartars and recover the rivers and mountains. Shen ordered the soldiers and civilians in Hebei and Shandong, and when the soldiers arrived, each of them settled down. Unforgivable. Announce it to the world, and the salty envoys will know it!"

After reading the proclamation, the [-] troops under the high platform immediately raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

Gao Yihuan pressed the sword with one hand, puffed out his stomach, and waved his hand aggressively, "The army is going to sweep Qilu!"
