MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-v2 Chapter 1056 Ji family!
Chapter 1056 Ji Family!
It is very difficult for an ordinary person to become an emperor, but everyone is born from a different starting point. For the sixth prince, when he was born, he was very close to the dragon chair.
is so close that there is only one Yuan Zhao emperor.
Therefore, Li Xin wanted to raise him to the throne, which was relatively simple. Supporting a Ji family was better than overturning everything and starting over, with much less resistance.
But the situation in the southwest is complicated.
No matter what Li Xin thinks, supporting the clan can only be a "temporary" act, a means to achieve an end. Once the big event is accomplished, even if Li Xin can tolerate the Ji family riding on his head, these subordinates in the southwest Ji Ying could not be allowed to be the emperor.
They rebelled hard and died, not to support another Ji family.
More importantly, no matter how obedient Ji Ying is, as long as he becomes the emperor, he will be the same as the current emperor Yuan Zhao in a few years, standing on the opposite side of Li Xin. .
At that time, Li Xin watched Emperor Yuan Zhao grow up, and once thought he could get along well with this nephew, but after Emperor Yuan Zhao ascended the throne, he acted more and more like an emperor of the Ji family, not the one who followed him before. His Royal Highness, the teacher behind the buttocks.
Therefore, even if Ji Ying can be the emperor, it will not last long. Even if he is still a child, he can think of his own fate to some extent, so he will ask to live.
He was involved in this chaos because of his identity. At this time, Ji Ying had not yet sat in that position, and his desire for power was not so great. He just wanted to survive.
Li Xin took the boy's hand and found him a room to rest.
In the evening, General Li set up a table of small wine and called all the three giants of the southwest together.
Because they were drinking, Mu Ying and Li Shuo were not covered with armor and wore simple robes, while Zhao Jia was dressed in white and sat on Li Xin's left.
After the three of them had arrived, they each poured a glass of wine, and after touching a glass, Li Xin said, "Everyone, it's March of the sixth year of Yuanzhao, and we've already captured Xiangyang, but we're still unknown, so I'm going to Tomorrow, we will announce the letter of crusade against the emperor, and we will officially start the army."
There must be a reason for raising an army, especially now that the Southwest Army cannot crush the imperial army, it is even more important to have a famous division.
Originally, Li Xin prepared the "name" to be on the side of the Qing monarch, and it was the traitor who attacked the emperor, but with the sixth prince there, there was no need to be so troublesome.
The emperor of Yuanzhao had a high position and a low morality. When he was the first heir, the harem was in chaos.
The sixth prince was driven out of the capital when he was less than six years old, he was confined to the mountains, and then he was almost killed. He was so cruel to his own brother, this was inhumane...
In short, as long as you pick out some of the faults of the emperor, write an omen to announce to the world, and then declare that you support the sixth prince's ascension to the throne, you will have the title.
The reputation of Emperor Yuanzhao in the people is not very good. In addition, he is also a woman. He has done many absurd things in these years. As long as you exaggerate it, it is easy to write a righteous and awe-inspiring essay.
After Zhao Jiagong, the letter written to Li Xin was powerful and powerful, and he had written the emperor of Yuan Zhao as the first faint-hearted emperor since the Jin Dynasty had a state, the kind that everyone could get and kill.
Having said this, Li Xin paused and continued: "We don't have much time."
"Last year, I was locked in the capital. In order to get out of the capital, I left a few Tianlei for the imperial court. Although the power is not as powerful as the Tianlei in the southwest, it can be used on the battlefield. For half a year, the imperial court may not be able to use it. It can be imitated, but if the time is enough, they will definitely be able to make it.”
The composition of gunpowder is not complicated. The imperial court has studied it for so many years, and there are already some gunpowder foundations, and there are samples obtained by Li Xin. They imitate gunpowder, it is only a matter of time.
General Li had a serious face.
"Also, Xie Jing brought out some fire guns from Xiangyang City. Fire guns are much simpler. As long as the artisans of the court see it, it is not difficult to imitate them. I have carefully calculated these days, we..."
"Probably only two or three years."
"The Southwest Army is not very strong. Right now, we can beat the imperial court on the battlefield, and it is almost entirely due to firearms. After three years, the imperial court's firearms will become available, and we will not have much advantage. If it takes longer, ten years Eight years later, we can't even hold the Southwest."
"So move fast."
Li Xin looked at Mu Ying and said solemnly, "Brother Mu, after three days, I will call for the soldiers to take the oath, and then you will lead the 50,000 Southwest Army and head towards the capital, but there are obstacles along the way, so you hit it all the way, remembering one thing."
Mu Ying immediately stood up and clasped his fists respectfully at Li Xin: "General's orders!"
"We encountered an army with the imperial court along the way. If we can surrender, we will surrender. Our number is not enough. If we can have one more person before the capital, we will have one more person. Just note that the firearms can only be used by the people of the Southwest Army. Those who come here cannot use firearms for them for the time being."
Mu Ying said solemnly: "The last will obey!"
"And then there's Brother You'an here."
Li Xin turned to look at Zhao Jia.
"Brother You'an sits at the rear, try to ensure the army's food and grass. If there is really no supply, you must inform me at least two months in advance, and I will find a way to get food."
Zhao Jia smiled and said, "Don't worry, General, I have been doing things that are short for my parents for many years. The rations must be sufficient. Even if my family starved to death, no one in the Southwest Army would starve to death."
"And the powder of gunpowder."
Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "After Brother You'an returned to Jincheng, he wanted to recruit three or four thousand craftsmen, keep them at a distance, and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving. Since we are going to fight, the original small workshop will be produced. The gunpowder is not enough, and large-scale pharmaceuticals are needed.”
"This is related to my southwest core, Brother Youan must be more cautious."
Zhao Jia also became serious and said solemnly: "Don't worry, General, your subordinates will take care of it."
Li Xin asked Zhao Jia a few more words, then raised his head to look at Li Shuo, and said, "Brother Mu took the Southwest Army as the vanguard, and your 50,000 Ningzhou Army was retained as the middle army, how about going east with me? "
According to Li Xin's vision, Mu Ying's 50,000 people would be the vanguard, and Li Shuo's Ningzhou army would follow behind to deal with some things that Mu Ying had not dealt with, and protect Mu Ying's flank, and then the army slowly moved towards Beijing advances.
Li Shuo also stood up and bowed his head respectfully: "Everything follows the command of the general!"
"Okay, that's it."
Li Xin picked up the wine jug with his own hands, poured a glass of wine for each of the three, then filled the wine glass in front of him, and stood up with the wine glass up.
The other three also stood up, and the four of them drank their wine glasses with their heads up.
"Tomorrow morning, I will take the sixth prince to read out the crusade against the emperor at the east gate of Xiangyang City, and you will bring your officers to the east gate."
Li Shuo and Mu Ying both nodded and said yes.
Zhao Jia had no soldiers, but he was blushing, obviously very happy, he bent over and poured a glass of wine for Li Xin, and then the two of them touched another glass.
The "Prime Minister of the Southwest" smiled very happily.
"After being with the general for so many years, today is the happiest day!"
"Go to his mother's Ji's house!"
