The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 684

The news of Jiang Chuan's return to the capital quickly spread.

As soon as he entered the palace, he took a shower and changed his clothes. Before he could take a breather, Liu Ji, Su Qin, Xia Junze and others came hand in hand.

Jiang Chuan received the three ministers in his big study.

Although all three are in the cabinet, they are in charge of different fields.Everyone reported to Jiang Chuan the important things that happened during Jiang Chuan's departure from Beijing in order.

Jiang Chuan asked while listening, and the three of them also complemented each other, and quickly reported the important things during this period.

After the three of them finished speaking, Jiang Chuan nodded with a smile and said, "The king is not in Beijing during this time, the three adults have worked hard."

The three of them laughed and said, "It's not hard for me to wait, it's hard work for His Highness to travel around outside and bask in the wind and rain. Seeing that His Highness is in high spirits, I think this trip is rewarding."

Jiang Chuan laughed: "It's a worthwhile trip."

When the three of them heard this, they were all overjoyed. They looked at each other, stood up and bowed together and said: "Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations, Your Highness."

Although it was announced that the regent had gone to Liaodong for inspection, the three members of the cabinet knew Jiang Chuan's true whereabouts.

They are also very clear about Jiang Chuan making such a big commotion in Jining City.

So as soon as Jiang Chuan said that, he knew that the marriage between Jiang Chuan and Bai Jinxiu had come to an end, so he felt very excited.

In the context of the feudal hereditary system, if the monarch has never been married and has no sons, it will definitely cause people's hearts to fluctuate, and even cause turmoil and shake the foundation of the country.

This point abounds in history, and the three are veterans who are familiar with history, so they naturally understand this point.

Before, they had made all kinds of advice, both openly and secretly, and hoped that Jiang Chuan could settle the marriage as soon as possible. Now they are naturally happy with the result.

"Your Highness, since the result has already been reached, let's fix the date of the wedding as soon as possible, so that the subjects of the world can feel at ease."

Liu Ji and Su Qin haven't said anything yet, Xia Junze can't wait to speak first.

Su Qin and Liu Ji looked at each other, tacitly, secretly laughing that the chief assistant was too impatient.

The two also said afterwards: "Your Highness, what Lord Shoufu said is very true. It is better for Your Highness to get married as soon as possible. Although the situation in the world is basically calm now, there are undercurrents surging under the water. Your Highness's early wedding will not only calm people's hearts, It can also deal a heavy blow to these ambitious people who are hiding under the water. After the big marriage, many things will proceed naturally."

Although the two of them didn't explain who the ambitious people were under the white water, and what things would be logical after the wedding, they could see it clearly in their hearts.

Jiang Chuan didn't expect the ministers to be so concerned about his wedding. After a moment of shock, he nodded and said, "I will take this matter to heart. Now, let's talk about the situation in Shuzhou."

The 10,000+ troops led by Di Qing in the southwest theater have already begun to attack Shuzhou, and battle reports are sent to the capital palace from time to time.

Jiang Chuan's previous order to Di Qing was to give him full authority to decide everything on the front line, and Jiang Chuan would only take over the decision unless it was something so important that Di Qing could not decide.

So these battle reports basically report the progress of the battle.Some of them were requests for ammunition supplies.

Although Jiang Chuan has been fighting for two years, he is very clear that he is still far behind Di Qing and other famous generals in terms of command, so he simply acts as a hand-off shopkeeper instead of learning that Chairman Chang Kaishen always likes to intervene in the command of the frontline troops .

"According to the latest battle report sent, Jianmen Pass was captured by our army half a month ago. Marshal Di Qing divided his troops into three groups and quickly attacked Guangyuan, Dazhou, and Bazhong. Counting the days, at this time Maybe these three cities have already been restored."

Jiang Chuan put the battle report in his hand on the table and said with a smile.

"With Marshal Di Qing's ability and our army's fierce artillery fire, these three cities are basically at your fingertips. Zhang Xianzhong killed innocent people indiscriminately in Shuzhou, slaughtered at will, and was unpopular. Basically, wherever our army went, they would not encounter them." Too much resistance." Xia Junze stroked his beard and smiled.

"Marshal Di Qing's ability is naturally beyond doubt, and the strength of our army is also there. The only thing to worry about is the terrain of the roads in Shuzhou. There are many mountains in Shuzhou, and many roads are simply a path dug beside the cliff. It's extremely difficult, and if you don't pay attention, you will fall into the abyss and be smashed to pieces. This will greatly limit the progress of our army."

Liu Ji has traveled all over the world and has also been to Shuzhou, so he has a natural understanding of the terrain there.

Jiang Chuan nodded in agreement: "Di Qing has done a lot of homework before and found a lot of local guides. Don't worry about this. Di Qing works calmly and decisively, and will not suffer because of greed. What we have to do is to do logistics well. Replenish supplies and wait for Di Qing's good news."

Everyone who said this laughed.

After talking about Shuzhou in the southwest, everyone's topic shifted to Liaodong and North Korea.

"According to the information collected by the Lifan Academy, including various information reported by the Liaodong Theater, it can be judged that the situation in Fusang Kingdom is becoming more and more obvious, and it is obviously constantly confirming the information His Highness received from Jining City."

Su Qin was in charge of the vassal court, so he was the first to speak when talking about the situation in Liaodong and North Korea.

After speaking, he took out several documents and handed them to Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan took a rough look, and it was basically all the intelligence reports collected by the Lifan Academy.

Large numbers of Hibiscus have recently been found on the Korean peninsula.They often appear on the Korean peninsula as merchants or wanderers, wandering among the three countries, spying and wandering in the barracks, government offices, granaries and other important places of the three kingdoms.

The government of the three countries of North Korea also found these people acting suspiciously, and sent officers and soldiers to arrest them.

These people were ruthless, and their whereabouts were strange. They either got the news in advance and fled, or they even gathered to fight with the local officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers of the three North Korean countries were killed and injured as a result.

Su Qin's judgment is that these people are obviously spy agents sent by the Fusang Kingdom, and even the officials and even the imperial court of the three North Korean countries were bought by the Fusang Kingdom to provide them with information.

Moreover, the activities of these people became more and more frequent. Su Qin judged that the time for Tokugawa Hidetada to invade North Korea was getting shorter and shorter, and suggested that the court make arrangements early.

Jiang Chuan was not surprised by this information. In the original history, when Japan attacked North Korea or the Xia Kingdom several times, they would send a large number of spies in advance to enter the Xia Kingdom under various names to conduct investigations, obtain various military intelligence, and even bribe and assassinate Xia. State officials or generals.

The military maps drawn by the Japanese spies are even more detailed than the maps in the hands of the Xia government army themselves, which shows the great ambitions of the Japanese.

After the Japanese army entered the Xia Kingdom, they achieved a series of major victories, and these Japanese spies definitely contributed.

In this world, the Fusang Kingdom still behaves in the same way. Such enemies are like wild wolves, which are disgusting but have to be vigilant at all times.
