Red Mansion: Incense and God Road, starting from the City God of Shenjing
Chapter 143: Marquis Jing’an can no longer be regarded as an ordinary military general!
Chapter 143: Marquis Jing’an can no longer be regarded as an ordinary military general!
Civil servants are born into a family of pens.
Based on history!
Let’s take the story of the Sui and Tang dynasties as an example.
During the Daye period, the song “No Song of Dying in Liaodong” sung at the foot of Changbai Mountain not only made Wang Bo, the leader of the rebel army at that time, become a great scholar.
It also set off a wave of uprisings, and then seven years.
The Sui Dynasty was thus declared destroyed.
In this way, even Emperor Shunde could not refute it.
Besides, what is the situation inside Daqian at this time.
It was not much stronger than the Sui Dynasty at that time.
Jiangnan, Shandong and Liaodong have just experienced unrest!
Once the Beijing Prince’s Palace rebelled, the other three princes of different surnames also began to make moves.
“Your Majesty, Liaodong Town has just experienced a rebellion, and has been infiltrated by the traitorous Shui family for many years.”
“The Shandong camp, which is separated from Korea by a sea, has just been rebuilt. Even if we want to fight, the imperial court cannot spare troops now.”
Upon seeing this, the Minister of War added another huge weight to the scale.
The two countries went to war and conquered each other.
But it’s not enough to rely on experts alone.
To capture North Korea, at least 300,000 troops would be needed.
I saw Emperor Shunde begin to hesitate.
The Minister of War retired after accomplishing his mission and joined the ranks of other ministers.
There was no way, Jia Cong’s performance was too amazing.
In Liaodong alone, 100,000 Tatar troops were driven back.
Kill and disperse more than 100,000 troops from both the Beijing Prince’s Palace and the Jurchens.
It even makes people doubt.
Maybe he has gone insane because of too much killing.
“Your Majesty, urgent news from Ziweisi!”
Just then, Dai Quan hurried into the imperial study.
“Dai Quan, speak quickly!”
Emperor Shunde stood up suddenly.
“Official Zhang Chongyang followed Marquis Jing’an to hunt down the rebels and went deep into Korea.”
“Conquer seven cities in seven days!”
“They have already reached the outskirts of Kaijing City!”
“The Emperor asks His Majesty to cooperate in sending troops to defeat Korea in one battle!”
“What? You’ve reached Kaijing City so soon?”
The five cabinet ministers and six ministers, who had just managed to dissuade Emperor Shunde from sending troops, could no longer sit still.
“Eunuch Dai!”
“The Jurchens have a great shaman…”
“There is also Wu Ziping in Prince Beijing’s Mansion.”
“Also, the Tibetan Buddhist sect has always acted in a domineering manner and would never let go of any slight.”
“They just let Jia Cong march straight in like this? Are they planning something?”
The Prime Minister Li Ge Lao, who was born in Jiangnan, asked in disbelief.
“Replying to the Lord, our family doesn’t know either.”
“The urgent report from the Ziwei Division said that the Marquis led 800 elite soldiers to hunt down Wu Ziping and the Jurchen Great Shaman. They were unstoppable and captured seven cities in a row.”
“This……”
Lord Li looked stunned.
What was surprising was not the fact that seven cities were conquered in seven days.
Korea was a weak country and most of its city walls were made of ordinary bricks and stones.
Only a few three or two important towns have spiritual soil mixed in.
If any fourth-level expert were to go there and blast through the city wall, it would be a piece of cake.
What is really shocking is that the four forces united together would actually allow Jia Cong to advance so freely.
Especially Tibetan Buddhism, which was the state religion in previous dynasties and has a profound foundation.
After the establishment of Daqian, taking into account the opponent’s strength, no settlement was made, but only suppressed in secret.
In fact, from the perspective of Living Buddha Basang.
Is it necessary to retaliate?
Then who should we choose?
Sakya Monastery has a long history and can be regarded as the number one Buddhist monastery in Tibet.
Naturally, there is more than one living Buddha of the fourth realm in the temple.
The issue is……
The masters of the fourth realm are basically practicing in seclusion in order to break through to a higher realm.
Worldly rights are nothing compared to a long life.
There weren’t many people who went out to fight. Even the White Lotus Sect, a cult that frequently caused trouble, was mostly led by the left and right Dharma protectors of the third realm.
But what about Jia Cong?
It would be fine if the fourth realm took personal action to attack cities and conquer lands.
Can you believe that they are still in a group?
The blood dragon said nothing.
From the perspective of Living Buddha Bas, it is not difficult to see that this is just a puppet.
But Baochai, this rare dragon girl, is inseparable from Jia Cong.
From Jiangnan to Shandong and then to Liaodong and Korea!
How many experts are needed to surround and kill the three fourth-level masters?
Just thinking about it made Basang give up the idea.
After all, we are all in the fourth realm and it is impossible for anyone to always go out and stay in a group, right?
……
“I see… You are worthy of being the Marquis of Jing’an!”
To have the position that Lord Li has today, strategy and tactics are indispensable.
After thinking about it, I figured out the connection here.
Sakya Monastery was not planning anything, but was unwilling to continue offending Jia Cong.
After realizing this, Lord Li sighed.
Even a force like Sakya Monastery, which has several fourth-level masters in charge, has changed its past style of revenge.
Today, Jia Cong is no longer an ordinary military general that the cabinet can control.
……
“My dear ministers, the emperor has issued an order. Do you have anything else to say?”
Emperor Shunde swept away his previous frustration and looked at his ministers.
“I will obey the Holy Order!”
Upon hearing this, the cabinet ministers and the six ministers had no choice but to accept the order.
“it is good!”
“Liaodong Town Deputy General Zhang Shen has already led 50,000 troops across the river, but 50,000 men alone are not enough…”
From Taizu to Kaiyuan Emperor, all of Daqian can be said to be emperors on horseback.
This was the first foreign war fought by Emperor Shunde since he ascended the throne, and he was bound to fight with great fanfare.
The news that Zhang Shen had already led his troops across the river was no longer concealed.
“Pass on my order, the Joseon royal family shall be executed for harboring the traitors!”
“Appoint Jia Cong, Marquis of Jing’an, as the General of Suppressing Rebellion!”
“Lead the troops and conquer Korea!”
“Niu Jizong was promoted to deputy general for suppressing the rebellion, and 50,000 troops were transferred from the Beijing camp to accompany the army in the expedition.”
“Another 50,000 elite soldiers will be dispatched from Jizhou Town to join Zhang Shen, and a total of 150,000 troops will be added!”
“The Ministry of Revenue is responsible for collecting money and grain to ensure logistics.”
“All expenses shall be paid from my treasury!”
“I will obey your orders!”
The ministers bowed and accepted the order.
……
Wait until you leave the imperial study.
The five elders and six ministers of the cabinet came to the cabinet tacitly.
“Mr. Li, you still need to come up with a rule for this matter…”
The Minister of Revenue looked embarrassed.
This matter was not directed at Jia Cong, but the civil officials worked together to create a system in which civil officials could control military power.
“The Emperor has personally given the order, so we can only follow it.”
Lord Li sighed.
“Never mind, it’s just a little late.”
“Third level masters have always rarely been involved in worldly affairs. The old Heavenly Master at Mount Longhu has not come out of seclusion for more than ten years.”
“Marquis Jing’an has now broken through to the fourth realm. Even if he has a desire for power, it won’t last long.”
“At most in three to five years, I will resign from my official position and practice in seclusion.”
“Our most urgent task is to complete the task assigned by His Majesty and prepare all matters for the army to go on the expedition.”
“So as not to let Marquis Jing’an catch us.”
“That person doesn’t look like me, but he really knows how to kill people!”
After Lord Li finished speaking, he glanced at the Minister of Revenue Chu Shen’an.
Chu Shen’an had a distant relative who died at the hands of Jia Cong in Jiangnan.
Although he didn’t say it, he was still dissatisfied in his heart.
“Mr. Li is right. I will definitely do my best to do my job!”
Being reminded of this, Chu Shen’an also thought of the blood on Jia Cong’s hands.
He shuddered and quickly expressed his opinion.
