Not only that, perhaps because the eldest princess has different political views from the new emperor, her biological mother, Empress Yang, has always taken good care of the prince before. After the prince ascended the throne, Empress Yang failed to get the title of Empress Dowager.
The above factors made the eldest princess very dissatisfied. Since she could not share the power of the monarch, she showed her ideal of governing the country that had been planned in her mind, she had to focus on military affairs since then.
As the Jin Dynasty became stronger, the fragile Liaohe defense line faced the wolf and tiger, and came from time to time to harass and plunder the Jurchen cavalry, gradually becoming overwhelmed.
Once the Liaohe River fails, the prospects are worrying!
The eldest princess dared not neglect. After consultation with the emperor, she resolutely decided to transfer all the elite troops of Xuan Liao army and the main force of the Xuanfu cavalry to the Liaohe River Basin to form a confrontation with the Jurchen Jin Kingdom. A large amount of combat preparations from the Xuanfu base were also continuously transported to the east. Dading Fort became the most important logistics support base for the eldest princess' army.
After taking office, Emperor Hong Xian was full of confidence and drasticly eliminated many bad policies left by his father's long reign. He put the eunuch who was extremely angry and searched the house and killed the whole family. He had the ambition to revive the Millennium Empire.
In fact, it was precisely because the old emperor was inexplicably high, salt and mining taxes that officials in various places followed suit in order to enrich their personal pockets, and randomly collected taxes became popular, which led to the increasing heavy taxes of the Millennium Dynasty. Liu Yu was just a tool to make money for his father. Emperor Hong Xian naturally could not deny his father, so he had to use this scapegoat to attack.
However, he did not treat Gu Shangkai and other important officials of the court who supported his eldest sister. First, doing so would probably force his eldest sister to turn against him. No matter how many, he still had some family affection, or considering that his eldest sister held the elite troops of the dynasty, he would not want to see such a situation happen; second, Gu Shangkai and other important officials had outstanding abilities and still had many reliances on them.
Not only that, he also spent a lot of energy to adjust the distribution of power and interests in the court, and strived to be fair and reasonable, so as to reconcile the increasingly sharp conflicts between the ministers of these three major factions in the past. He hoped that they could unite and help him to push the Millennium Dynasty on the road to revival!
However, as such a huge empire, the trend of declining and degenerating will continue to decline once it forms, and it will continue to fall inertia even if a true wise king of Zhongxing appears, it will be difficult to reverse it, let alone Emperor Hong Xian is not yet
As a result, he was reluctant to delay the decline even if he slightly delayed his pace. Faced with various sharp contradictions between ministers in the court, he was overwhelmed. It seemed that it would not be a matter of a day or a night to completely reconcile it.
However, the growing War Sky Eagle rebels, which have been rampant in Hetao and Shanxi for a long time, are a problem with their elbows. Before implementing the grand blueprint for governing the country that has already hovered around his mind, he must first move this stumbling block!
The father is very happy with merit, but he personally believes that when it comes to the issue of Rakshasa Sect and the Zhantianying Rebels, the father is still too conservative. Of course, the Rakshasa Sect has not shown any harm to the court so far, but the Zhantianying Rebels have become a powerful force that can shake the foundation of the empire. He feels it is time to give it a try.
An unprecedented military operation gradually came to his mind. The troops and food, pay and supplies needed to be used were too large, even more than any of the three major battles presided over by his father. He had to think carefully and ask for opinions from all parties first.
Of course, no matter what, he has decided, but the specific implementation steps can be slightly adjusted according to opinions from all parties...
Just then the eldest princess returned to Huici Palace to visit her mother, so she passed the message through the eunuch, and the sister and brother had a talk in Yixin Palace.
Emperor Hong Xian first introduced his military ideas, then pondered for a while, and said slowly: In the eyes of the emperor, is there any possibility that the Jurchens will launch a large-scale offensive on the front line of the Liaohe River recently?
Since the empress of the palace throughout the entire period of his father's rule, the virtuous and virtuous biological mother unexpectedly did not be appointed as the queen mother. Zhao Fengyin's strong dissatisfaction with this half-brother became increasingly unwilling to hide it. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he heard this. He really did not enter the Three Treasures Palace without any trouble!
However, according to her cold eyes, the Zhantianying rebels have been growing rapidly for several years, and the threat to the empire is now vaguely greater than that of the Jurchen Jin Kingdom. When the enemy is in front of her, she is too lazy to bother with her half-brother, and she makes the following analysis objectively:
In recent months, the influential lords and tribal leaders of the Jin tribal alliance have frequently appeared in the old villages in the capital, and met with each other privately. They are roughly divided into several forces, among which the strongest and most influential lords and the fifth prince Uyazig faction are becoming increasingly fierce. Moreover, according to various signs, the health of the financial lord Sharwin is becoming increasingly poor, and the dispute over the new khan will only become more and more intense. So I think whether it is Sharwin or his powerful children, they may not be interested in going south at the moment.
Emperor Hong Xian looked at his eldest sister, and he had a rare look of respect. He knew very well that before his father passed away, the open and secret struggles in the capital might be more intense than the capital of the Jin Dynasty. The reason why he could make a safe transition did not cause greater civil strife, because the eldest sister put the overall situation first.
Of course he also knew very well, which did not mean that the eldest sister did not covet his current emperor throne, but she just had too many concerns.
To be fair, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with the great contributions and amazing talents made by the eldest sister to the empire and the magnificent talent that people have become on this throne. However, in the face of such a huge temptation of power, who is willing to give in?
Thinking of this, he coughed softly and said: The emperor also knows that most of the elite troops of the empire are gathered to defend against the aggressive Jurchens along the Liaohe River. This time, without the participation of these elite field troops, not only can they draw enough troops, but they also do not have enough combat power.
Zhao Fengyin teased: Which unit does the emperor want to draw? Whether it is the Xuanliao Army or the Xuanfu Iron Cavalry, you only need to order the Ministry of War to issue an order. As a minister, I should act according to the order.
Emperor Hong Xian said: Regarding these two iron armies, they have been stationed in northern borders since the establishment of this dynasty, and have attacked the nomadic tribes of the grasslands in the north. In recent years, they have also made outstanding achievements in fighting against the rapidly rising Jurchen tribe alliance. They are the foundation of the country. I am not so ignorant of the severity of the Jin Dynasty. No matter how fierce the future battle between the new khans in the Jin Dynasty is, once we break down the barriers, they will never mind going south to pick up this landing peach. My original intention is to draw out all other elite troops stationed on the Liaohe line to participate in this military operation.
Zhao Fengyin sighed: That would leave a lot of gaps on the Liaohe defense line, especially the strategic position of the three castles, including Liaozhou, Tangzhou and Heye, is extremely important. Currently, the Mengzhou Xuanfu envoy Liang Hongyu, Tengwei General Duan Shiheng and Fan Yang General Shi Guoliang led heavy troops to deploy defenses. If these elite troops were transferred away, the defense power would be greatly reduced. It seems that Sister Chen had to transfer most of the Xuan Liao army currently stationed in Dading Fort to Liaodong to fill the gap left by Liang Hongyu and other generals.
I am also thinking that this is the case. I wonder what the emperor’s sister thinks about the candidate for the head coach?
Zhao Fengyin said unhappily: Will the emperor listen to my sister’s opinion?
Emperor Hong Xian knew that his eldest sister was still celebrating the Second Liaodong War. He firmly opposed the appointment of General Zhao Long, Xuan Liao, as the commander of the army. Later facts proved that his eldest sister's opinion might be correct.
He couldn't help but feel hot and sighed in his heart. Women's family are always a little petty. The emperor's sister said it's okay, I will consider it.
Whether it is prestige in the army, loyalty to the court, or the experience and ability to command troops, there is no more comprehensive than Liang Hongyu at present. Of course, Sister Chen likes her more because she is a female general with outstanding military achievements. I hope she can help us women and not be looked down upon by men, but there is no other meaning.
Emperor Hong Xian thought for a while, but he really couldn't think of a more suitable candidate, so he said: I don't have it
After a series of intense planning, Emperor Hong Xian issued an order to go to the morning court on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month after ascending the throne, Lu Long, the Minister of War, must gather more than 300,000 elite troops of the imperial army at all costs, including elite troops stationed on the Liaohe line to defend the Jurchen Jin Kingdom. The vacancy left behind was sent by the eldest princess from the Dading Fort base to fill the Xuan Liao army.
At the same time, the Minister of Revenue Cai Guangjin was ordered to assist the Ministry of War with all his might to raise countless food, grass, horses and other supplies needed for this war.
This time, Emperor Hong Xian made up his mind to destroy the grass-roots regime created by Zhan Tianying at all costs, the so-called Yunzhong Empire.
Regarding the selection of the head coach, he repeatedly negotiated with the Ministry of War and learned from the past lessons. In the end, he listened to the eldest sister's opinion and decided to lead the war to Liang Hongyu, the envoy of the Propaganda and Funeral of Mengzhou.
After the scattered dynasty, the Ministry of War immediately issued a document, urgently summoning Liang Hongyu, the Mengzhou Xuanfu envoy who was stationed in Liaozhou Fort on the Liaohe Front, confronting the Jurchen Army, to come to Beijing to meet the saint.
As the saying goes, the new officials took office three times. Lu Long and Cai Guangjin's officials at all levels who were extremely inefficient in their daily work were afraid that they would be caught by the new emperor and would be scared of the chicken and warn the monkeys. They would become faster than the other, and their work was more serious than ever, and their efficiency was suddenly improved. The other four departments of the cabinet were involved in the dispatch of troops and the logistics support of the army. They soon gathered the army at Yongxing Fort in Xuanfu area and were on standby. They could be said to be a gathering of generals and strong soldiers!
Liang Hongyu did not dare to neglect her. She handed over the defense of the Mengzhou Army stationed under her command to the troops of Li Hu, deputy general of the Xuanliao Army. Xingye led his troops from the Liaohe Front to the capital to meet Tianyan.
At the Imperial Military Conference before the army set out, Emperor Hongxian formally appointed Liang Hongyu, the commander of the army, and was given a tiger-shaped military talisman with the third rank, with General Tengwei Duan Shiheng as the deputy commander, General Fan Yang Shi Guoliang, General Changshan Li Heng, General Desheng Hongliang and General Zhou Chuzhi as the deputy generals, and led the army to launch a fierce attack on the Zhantianying Rebel Base Area entrenched in Shanxi and Hetao areas.
The purpose of this large-scale military operation is not to destroy its fierce flames, but to destroy the rampant regime of the Yunzhong Empire in one fell swoop!
The above factors made the eldest princess very dissatisfied. Since she could not share the power of the monarch, she showed her ideal of governing the country that had been planned in her mind, she had to focus on military affairs since then.
