The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 563 He is Playing a Big Game of Chess

The dynasty has changed, but the military station is still there.The emperor has changed, but the officials are still there.

For Yang Dezhan, Commander of the Yangmingbao Army, except for the change of the year name, his life is the same as before.

He is still the military order of Yangmingbao, and he still does the same things as before.

He knew that he might one day go elsewhere, or be sent home.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, the people above changed, and it was not surprising for a low-level official like him to change.

For this, he has long been prepared in his heart.

Now, he is receiving officers and soldiers from Bukui.It was Bu Kui who led the team to defend Zhao Dahai.

He had heard of Zhao Dahai before, but he was not familiar with him.Yang Dezhan felt a little funny about these people who claimed to be going to the imperial capital to be king.

The Dade Dynasty is gone, and now it is the Tianshun Dynasty, and the whole world has surrendered, and now there are still a thousand people from the frontier, and they are going to the imperial capital to serve the king.

This kind of thing is a bit new.

Whether they were overthinking themselves, Yang Dezhan didn't bother to care.

However, he is not the opponent's opponent at all at present, Yang Dezhan is still very clear about this.

The equipment of these people seems to be different from other armies.

But their military discipline seems to be very good, and their demeanor seems very similar to those of Jia Huaiyuan who passed by here in the past.

In fact, as soon as Zhao Dahai arrived here, he proposed that he was Jia Huaiyuan's subordinate.It was Jia Huaiyuan's order to come here this time.

Regarding this, Yang Dezhan was dubious.

Yang Dezhan also has no objection to Zhao Dahai's statement that they will take over the military station.

There are only a dozen or so soldiers under him who have almost never fought in battle. If you want to fight against more than 1000 people on the other side, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble.

Yang Dezhan has no objection to Zhao Dahai's statement that he should continue to serve as a military commander.

Anyway, I always have to receive people coming and going, and from now on, Zhao Dahai is willing to provide salary here, and it doesn't matter if I continue to be a military commander.Just treat it as opening an inn by yourself to receive guests from all over the world.

On the official road to the north, a puff of smoke and dust flew up.Soon there was a rumbling sound of horseshoes.

Yang Dezhan is already very experienced in these things.Just by hearing the sound of horseshoes, you can tell that this is a large army.

Not long after, I saw a group of people approaching. The long line was also endless.

Zhao Dahai came over.

"Yang Juntai, don't be afraid, it's our team."

Am I scared?Over the years, I have seen so many soldiers and horses, how can I be afraid?

"Come again, I have no place to live here. If they have to live here, they will have to live in the open air."

"It's okay, they brought their own yurts."

Bring your own yurt?That is a habit of people on the grasslands.

"Our military discipline is very good, and we won't cause you any trouble. Chief Min once mentioned you to me and told us not to embarrass you."

"Are you really sent from Huaiyuan?"

"Of course it's true."

"Where is Huaiyuan?"

"Officer Min is going by water, but it is estimated that he will arrive soon. He will land in Liaodong."

"What does Huaiyuan want to do?"

"Hit Han Tiankui first, and then San Francisco."

"You want to rebel too?"

"We are not a rebel, but King Qin."

Well, if you want to be king, you can be king.The former emperor himself gave way, so you still have to worry about it.Would Huaiyuan still do such absurd things?

The new soldiers have arrived.Zhao Dahai went up to meet him.

"Termir, you're late."

"Head Zhao, I have to fight, but I'm not like you, copying my hands along the way."

"Temir, who brought down the government on this road, and who took over? Do you think I'm idle?"

"Captain Zhao, you have the nerve to mention those government houses? How about the defenders of Kaiyuan Mansion? Did they run away?"

"No, I'm just waiting for you to deal with them. They don't even know that I'm here? How about it, do you want me to help you?"

"I have [-] cavalry in Nanwendu, and I need your help to deal with Han Tiankui's thousands of troops? Luo Muge, Kadeer, take them down before dark today, okay?"

"Temir, just this little thing, don't go, just leave it to us."

Luo Muge smiled and stroked his beard.

"That can't be done. In the future, if Commander Min finds out that I'm lazy, it will be bad. Commander Zhao, prepare the food and drink. When we take down Kaiyuan Mansion, we'll have a drink together when we come back."

"Temir. Wait a minute, don't forget about the Sun family."

"Understood, I will never forget."

Temir hadn't finished speaking, and the person had already left.

"Captain Zhao, what do you want to do to the Sun family? The Sun family is very kind to the Jia family. The two brothers, Sun Yuanfei and Sun Yuanzheng, are now in Huaiyuan, Beihai."

"I know, I told him not to forget Chief Min's entrustment to protect the Sun family."

"Head Zhao, now I believe you were sent by Huaiyuan."

"We were originally sent by Chief Min. In the whole world, besides Chief Min's team, is there such a strict and majestic army?"

"It does make some sense. After defeating Kaiyuan Mansion, where are you going?"

"Didn't I tell you to go to Shengjing and beat Han Tiankui?"

"Ning Guta still has Han Tiankui's people."

"It doesn't matter, the Tatars will take care of them.",

The Tartars are coming too?What is Huaiyuan going to do?
Kaiyuan Mansion is not far from Yangming Fort, only about twenty miles away.The cavalry passed by, and it didn't take long for them to arrive.

After more than two hours, at the beginning of Shen Shi in the afternoon, some soldiers of the Tianshun Army continued to escape from Nali.

Yang Dezhan went over and asked, and it turned out that there was already a war over there.The defenders were caught off guard and were wiped out with almost no decent resistance.The first ones still escaped, but the later ones were captives and released.

Not long after, Termir sent someone to inform Zhao Dahai, asking him to send someone to take over the government.

In the evening, Temir, Luo Muge, Kadeer and Zhao Dahai came back together.Even the troops were brought back.Set up camp near the military platform.

Zhao Dahai and the others ate wine with Yang Dezhan.

After learning that Yang Dezhan was Jia Min's friend, Temir and the others warmed and respected Yang Dezhan, and toasted Yang Dezhan one after another.

"It's a bit surprising that Kaiyuan Mansion was captured so easily."

Yang Dezhan's mood was a little complicated.

"They are all vulnerable people, so it's not easy to beat them? I'm a little surprised that such soldiers and horses can still defeat Dade."

Temir felt that Han Tiankui was overestimated before.

"Temir, don't underestimate the enemy. These are the soldiers left behind. Han Tiankui's elite are all in the Shengjing area. If you encounter them in the future, you should be careful."

Zhao Dahai persuaded.

"Regimental Commander Zhao, don't worry, we will be careful. Yang Juntai, thank you for your hospitality. When we conquer the world in the future, we will come to your place for a drink when we come back."

"Are you going to conquer the world?"

"Naturally, we want to conquer the world. To conquer the world, we should support Chief Min as the emperor."

"Huaiyuan wants to be emperor?"

"Of course he is going to be the emperor. Even someone like Han Tiandou can be the emperor. Isn't it a piece of cake for Chief Min to be the emperor?"

Yang Dezhan fell silent.

He didn't know whether these people's words were true or not, but Jia Min's being the emperor really made him unable to adapt for a while.

He couldn't think of too many other things for a while, but there was one thing he wanted to understand.

If Jia Min really became the emperor, it might be difficult to come to him in the future.Even if they come, they can't eat wine together.

Song Kuan was busy as usual, and today he came to the Ministry of War.

Today's Ministry of War, except for some less important positions, has been replaced by people from San Francisco.

The new minister of the Ministry of War is Gao Wangshan, he is Han Tiandou's brother-in-law, and he is the uncle of the country.

Hou Xiaolian, a survivor of the former dynasty, once acted as Minister of the Ministry of War for a period of time. After Emperor Tianshun ascended the throne, Hou Xiaolian was transferred to be the political envoy of Guangdong and Guangxi, and left the power center of the imperial capital.However, in terms of locality, it can be regarded as a big member of one party.

Although he is a relative of the emperor, Gao Wangshan is not a dude.He is a veteran with a lot of experience.Serving as Minister of the Ministry of War is also expected by everyone.

Even Song Kuan believed that Gao Wangshan was the best candidate for Minister of War.

Song Kuan came to Gao Wangshan mainly to talk about Jia Min.

Regarding Song Kuan's opinion of Jia Min, Gao Wangshan was somewhat disapproving at the beginning, but after hearing Song Kuan's careful analysis, he changed his opinion and paid more attention to it.

A servant came in and interrupted their conversation.

"General Ning Guta urgent report."

As the servant spoke, he handed a document to Gao Wangshan.

After Gao Wangshan looked at it, his expression became serious.

After reading it, he handed the document to Song Kuan.

Song Kuan finished reading, put down the paperwork slowly, picked up the teacup, but did not drink tea, and sighed softly.

"Jia Min finally made a move."

Gao Wangshan picked up the document and read it again.

"What a great handwriting. Sanjiangkou, Kaiyuan Mansion, and Ninggu Pagoda were all captured by him, and the rear of Shengjing was almost completely captured."

"Unexpectedly, both the Tatars and South Wendura people came, and Zhao Dahai got mixed up with them."

This was indeed beyond Song Kuan's expectation.The [-] cavalry from the entire Wendula grassland came, and Jia Mingke added a new force out of thin air.

"Jia Min and Chen Yeqing landed in eastern Liaodong, and Wei Ruolan and Jia Lian landed in southern Liaoning. Their goal should be Shengjing. Zhao Dahai and the people from South Wendula are heading towards Shengjing, and their goal is naturally Shengjing. Together, they have a total of 8 people, is it really necessary to use [-] people to attack the [-] people in Shengjing?"

"Jia Min knows it. He has always fought more with less. What is strange now is, what do the [-] Tatars who have occupied Ninggu Tower want to do?"

"Ordinarily, if they want to enter the customs, they should join forces with Jia Min in Shengjing, but now they are heading southwest. Where do they want to go?"

"Gao Shangshu, I know where they are going."

"My lord, where are they going?"

"Their target is Goryeo."

"Gory?"

"Yes, it's Goryeo. Goryeo is our vassal state, so we don't have our soldiers. After taking down Goryeo, Jia Min will have no worries at all if he wants to enter the customs."

"Jia Min is really playing a big game of chess."

"The problem doesn't stop there. Jia Min is dispatched, and there are two other people who shouldn't be absent."

"What does the prince mean?"

"I was wondering, where did Feng Ziying and Chen Yejun go?"

Song Kuan brought the cup to his mouth and drank slowly.
