Chang'an, in the palace of King Zhou, is deliberating.Wu Sangui stood in front of the map, his brows furrowed, "What's going on with this Jungar Mongolia?"
Why don't you attack yet!
”Since ancient times, the Central Plains Dynasty did not want the northern nomads to disturb it, but now the Zhou State is looking forward to the Mongols going south as soon as possible.This is not because Wu Sangui has a mental problem, but because of this, the Zhou State can quickly fight a decisive battle, defeat the Jungar Ministry, and then guard against the Ming Dynasty.Now, the Jungger Department, hanging but not starting, does not know when to attack, but it makes it difficult for the whole Zhou State to feel at ease, for fear that the attack of the Junggar Department will collide with the attack of the Ming Dynasty.In this way, the Zhou State will face a situation of being attacked from both sides, and there will be a danger of losing the country.Therefore, for the Zhou State, since it has discovered the Moxi Mongols and is about to launch an attack on the Zhou State, it is better to hope that the Mongols will attack as soon as possible.Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that instead of waiting for the Mongols to attack, it is better to take the initiative to attack!"
”When Wu Sangui heard this, he turned around and showed a smile on his face: "The words of the right minister are in line with the meaning of the widow." ”~~~~~~ Chang'an City, in the yamen of the Ministry of War, Chen Mingxia, the right attendant, was busy dealing with the affairs of the ministry.At this time, he picked up a copy of the order and suddenly called: "Master Liu!"
”In the outer room, a middle-aged official, when he heard the voice, immediately got up, hurriedly walked in, and saluted: "Young Si Rong calls for humility!"
”Chen Mingxia handed the warrant to Liu Yumo and said, "You take this order and go to the household department, and the colleagues over there will cooperate with you and allocate materials." ”"Supplies?"
Liu Yumo accepted the order, but did not leave, but asked: "Shao Sirong, dare to ask what is the matter?"
It is also more convenient to handle the lowly duties. ”Chen Mingxia glanced at him, both of them were from Jiangnan, after the change of Jiashen State, first to Shun, then to Qing, after Wu Sangui captured Chang'an, he switched to Zhou State.The same townspeople are also the same party, Chen Mingxia still trusts Liu Yumo more, and besides, the large-scale transfer of military funds and grain can no longer be kept secret."
It was originally a secret, but now there is nothing to hide!"
Chen Mingxia put down the manual, looked at Liu Yumo and said: "Not long ago, the imperial court learned the news that after the king of Ordos County fled to Moxi, he colluded with the Zhun Ge Department with the intention of attacking my Great Zhou.After consulting with the right minister, it was decided that instead of waiting for Zhungar to attack, it was better to take the initiative to attack.We have just recovered in the past two years, and we can no longer suffer from the war.Instead of waiting for the Mongols to kill, let's kill them.Therefore, now our military department must coordinate with the household department to prepare ordnance, food, and grass for the army as soon as possible. ”Liu Yumo was shocked, he didn't hear the news in advance about such a big matter, and he didn't say it until he needed to mobilize grain, grass and ordnance.It seems that Shang Zeng has already prevented the people below from leaking the news."
Humble command!"
Liu Yumo hurriedly saluted, and then said goodbye and left.At that moment, Liu Yumo first went back to his bookcase, looked at the contents of the warrant, and then cleaned up the table, and then got up and went to the household department.At noon, the officials of the Zhou State can rest for an hour.Usually, Liu Yumo would go home for dinner, then take a nap, or meet up with his colleagues to have a drink at a tavern.Coming out of the household department today, Liu Yumo did not make an appointment with his colleagues, nor did he eat at home, changed his clothes, and walked a long way, came to a street near the Liubu Yamen, and entered a general wine shop.This liquor shop has been open in Guanzhong for four years, and it has been open since Xiqing was there.However, the shopkeeper seems to have no intention of operating, and the business has not been very good, and he doesn't know how to survive until now.At this time, the bartender saw a guest come in, and immediately stepped forward, "A distinguished guest." ”Liu Yumo ignored it and went straight to the private room on the second floor, and the bartender hurriedly followed, cleaned up quickly, and then asked, "What kind of dishes do you order objectively!"
”Liu Yumo said: "Birds in the sky, beasts on the ground, each have a copy!"
”The bartender was slightly stunned, and said quietly: "Guest officer, you later!"
”The bartender hurriedly closed the door and went downstairs, and after a while, the shopkeeper went upstairs with a bartender and brought a few dishes and a pot of wine to the table.At this time, the shopkeeper waved his hand and asked the bartender to step back, and then he arched his hand and said, "Master Liu!"
”Liu Yumo had a cold face, pushed an envelope in front of him, and said, "I have already figured out what you want to investigate." ”The shopkeeper sat opposite them with a smile, took the envelope, took out the letter paper to look at, and his face suddenly changed, "Zhou Guo wants to fight?"
”The letter was a detailed list of the large quantities of ordnance, grain and grass mobilized by the Zhou State.Looking at the shopkeeper's expression, Liu Yumo said: "Don't worry, it's not to fight the Ming Dynasty, it's to fight Moxi Mongolia!"
Not long ago, the Zhou army attacked the Hetao, and a Tartar prince ran to Moxi.Now that he is persuading the Tartars of Moxi to attack Guanzhong, Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou decided to strike first, so as not to destroy the lives in Guanzhong and lose the vitality of the Zhou State!
”When the shopkeeper heard this, his expression relaxed a little, and he said with a smile: "I hope that the Zhou army will attack the Ming Dynasty, so that the regent can send a large army to destroy the Zhou State."
You and I don't have to worry about it every day. ”The shopkeeper paused and continued: "It seems that the last battle of the Hetao made Zhou Guo taste the sweetness.This time, he actually dared to run thousands of miles and attack Moxi. ”"In the first battle of Hetao, the Zhou army suffered very little losses, but it recovered more than 100,000 Mongols, obtained a million cattle and sheep, and more than 20,000 cavalry."
Liu Yumo said: "If Moxi kills over, the Zhou army can only fight in Guanzhong, and even if it wins, it will be a miserable victory."
Now that he has taken the initiative to attack, he has a hint of the style of the Han and Tang Dynasties. ”The shopkeeper said, "Now it seems that the Zhou State is in a hurry to claim the title of vassal, because of the Moxi Mongols.That makes sense. ”Liu Yumo immediately said: "This information is useful to you!"
”The shopkeeper's Zhengse said: "It's useful, Director Liu, you have made a meritorious service!"
”After speaking, the shopkeeper leaned over, held Liu Yumo's hand, and shook it: "I thank you on behalf of the organization!"
”Liu Yumo angrily withdrew his hand and said coldly: "Don't come to this set!"
What about money?
”Seeing that the trick invented by the regent did not work, the shopkeeper retreated and sat down, took out the silver ticket from his arms, and said with a straight face, "Here is a silver ticket of five thousand taels!"
”Liu Yumo didn't pick it up, "It's useless for me to take it, you transfer it to my family."
Also, let the local government not embarrass them!
”The shopkeeper nodded, but then said, "It's better for the Military Intelligence Department to help you keep it!"
This can't be helped!
If you don't embarrass them, you won't be safe here.If you endure it any longer, it will be good if Daming defeats Chang'an. ”Liu Yumo thought about it, so he could only nod, and then said: "The cabinet and various ministries have blocked the news very strictly, and they should have realized that there are people in the court who are secretly enlightened.I won't be coming to you again anytime soon, and don't send anyone to me.And if I die, you won't swallow my money!
”"How so?"
The shopkeeper patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Master Liu, if you die, the money will definitely fall into the hands of your family." ”()
