Chapter 334: Add a Piece of Clothing When It
Feng Chunsheng nodded: "The people don't know about the Imperial Court, and even many scholars have been blinded. If they knew that the Da Qian Dynasty didn't have the Jade Seal, and that treacherous ministers were in power, it would be enough to give them a headache!"
Xiao Chunqiu took over the conversation: "This is not just a break, but a declaration. A declaration that our Northern Frontier is not a rebel, but a teacher that follows the will of heaven and corrects chaos!"
"Although the strength is not enough to compete for the Central Plains for the time being, this banner of righteousness is enough to attract many people of insight who cherish orthodoxy and are dissatisfied with Si Gui and the puppet emperor."
Jiang Jinshi walked back to the main seat and sat down, his expression returning to calmness: "What Old Feng and Mr. Xiao said is very true. The matter of the Jade Seal was kept secret before because the time was not ripe."
"Now that the Jade Seal is shown, it cuts off the Imperial Court's thoughts and also lets our Northern Frontier soldiers and civilians, and the people of the world, know that we are not separatist, but that the world is clear and bright!"
"But what will the Imperial Court's reaction be next?" Bai Ting touched his chin, thinking about the key point.
Jiang Jinshi looked at everyone: "The Imperial Court's reaction is nothing more than fury and sending troops to crusade. But we are different from Western Liang. Western Liang is a rebel, and we are now 'following heaven to crusade against rebels'!"
"Si Gui supports a puppet emperor, controls the government, and causes chaos in the world. This is the real national thief! We hold the Jade Seal, which is the mandate of heaven!"
"Pass the order down, tell the six Juns of the Northern Frontier about today's events, along with the rubbing of the Jade Seal seal! Tell all soldiers and civilians that the Imperial Court is unrighteous and uses hostages to threaten generals, so we can't bear it anymore, following heaven to crusade against thieves, clearing the side of the monarch, and correcting the court!"
"Yes!"
Everyone agreed, and the morale was high.
The depression brought by the Imperial Court's enfeoffment and hostage-taking was replaced by a more grand and impassioned "righteousness." They were no longer frontier generals forced to resist, but an army of justice holding high the banner of righteousness and crusading against national thieves!
Of course, everyone knew what the actual situation was, but they had to say so to the outside and the public.
"Strengthen combat readiness, strictly guard the border, especially in the direction of Guansongling. The Chamber of Commerce accelerates the transfer of materials, especially iron, grain, and salt. All schools, teahouses, and private schools must immediately start lecturing on the righteousness of 'following heaven to crusade against thieves and clearing the side of the monarch'!"
Jiang Jinshi gave orders clearly, obviously well-prepared.
"In addition, spread today's events and the Jade Seal seal as much as possible through our channels! Especially in Jiangnan, the Central Plains, and other places. We want the world to know that the Imperial Jade Seal is in the Northern Frontier, in my hands!"
"Da Qian's luck has run out, the puppet emperor is in power, treacherous ministers are rampant, and our Northern Frontier is where the orthodoxy of China lies!"
"Yes!" Wang Hou immediately agreed.
I don't know how many people will believe this statement, but Jiang Jinshi's purpose is just to muddy the water.
Saying that the Northern Frontier is the orthodoxy of China will definitely be criticized by many scholars, but coupled with the Second Prince killing his brother to seize power, and the Scholar-Gentry pushing behind it, Si Gui is the first to bear the brunt.
Under such chaos, who can tell right from wrong?
The current Da Qian Imperial Court is just treacherous ministers in power, and the brother-killing Wei Xi Yuan is a puppet emperor. Is such a Da Qian orthodox? Is it worth the people's love?
The Western Liang King is the late Emperor's brother, who has been dormant in Western Liang for many years and has long planned to seize the throne. Can he be called the orthodoxy of China?
The Northern Frontier was abandoned by the Imperial Court, self-reliant to resist foreign enemies, not letting the Da Qian country be tainted by aliens, and holding the Jade Seal. Can this be considered orthodox?
In fact, all three sides are untenable. The court is full of smoke and chaos, and the current chaos is all created by them, and the Western Liang King's actions are no different from rebellion.
Not to mention the Northern Frontier, which is from mountain bandits. Although it can be said that it was forced to resist the Xiongnu, this also requires everyone to believe it, so it still depends on strength in the end.
Jiang Jinshi didn't expect how many people would believe these words, but since Si Gui wanted to push him onto the chessboard, he would make his butt burn as soon as he came up. How could he follow the rules he set!!
As for whether Western Liang would join forces with Da Qian to take down the Northern Frontier first, Jiang Jinshi thought it would not.
First of all, there is Da Qian between Western Liang and the Northern Frontier. If they want to join forces to fight the Northern Frontier, Western Liang must borrow the way. Does Da Qian dare?
The two sides with different thoughts will definitely not be able to reach cooperation, but Jiang Jinshi still needs to guard against it. If he takes down Guansongling, the Northern Frontier only needs to guard the "gate".
Guansongling has three passes, with a huge drop, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Unless you take down the three passes in one breath, the Northern Frontier cannot be broken.
But similarly, Jiang Jinshi wants to take down Guansongling, which is not a simple matter.
At this time, Luo Feng, who went out, came back, holding a black robe with dragon patterns embroidered on it.
"Big Brother, it's cold, come and add a piece of clothing!"
Seeing this, Jiang Jinshi couldn't laugh or cry: "It's spring and it's about to warm up, where is it cold?"
Luo Feng laughed: "The wind is strong, the wind is strong outside, put on the clothes first!"
Jiang Jinshi took it but didn't put it on, looking at it carefully. It was not the traditional bright yellow, but a dark black base, and the patterns were sewn with gold thread.
I have to say, this aesthetic is consistent with Jiang Jinshi, and it is really good-looking!
"How long has this been prepared?"
"Uh... last time I was drunk, the next day I asked my sister to make it, and it was only finished last night! It corresponds to our Ming Army's flag, looking... not bad!" Luo Feng scratched his head. What he said last time was not drunk talk; those words were really taken to heart.
However, to say that without Big Brother's order, rashly leading troops south to capture the dragon, Luo Feng really didn't dare.
He was worried that Big Brother had his own plans, and doing things indiscriminately would ruin Big Brother's good deeds. Moreover, not obeying orders, if Big Brother didn't deal with him, how would he convince the public in the future?
After thinking about it, Luo Feng still didn't dare to act rashly, but the heart of supporting Big Brother to become Emperor hadn't changed, so he prepared this dragon robe.
Just now seeing Big Brother take out the Jade Seal, he was ecstatic. This dragon robe was really made right, so he hurriedly went to get it.
Jiang Jinshi looked up and swept his gaze over all the civil and military officials under his command.
Luo Feng took the lead and knelt on one knee: "Da Qian cannot accommodate our Northern Frontier, abandoned us when resisting foreign enemies, and after we defeated the aliens, they wanted to use the Northern Frontier as a knife. Since they don't let us live and work in peace, we might as well be our own masters!"
"Please, Commander of the Great Ming Volunteer Army, proclaim yourself Emperor!"
The generals knelt down in a row, saying in unison: "Please, Commander, proclaim yourself Emperor! Protect the Northern Frontier from worry! Protect the mountains and rivers forever!"
Jiang Jinshi understood as soon as he heard it. The brothers must have communicated privately, otherwise how could they read so neatly? They were all rough men.
On the side of the scholars, Feng Chunsheng took the lead and bowed deeply: "The old man has been in the Northern Frontier for many years, and the happiest days for the people are the period when the Commander governed. If we submit to Da Qian, the people of the Northern Frontier are afraid they will have to live a life of misery again, so the old man..."
"Please, Commander, proclaim yourself Emperor and establish the Northern Frontier yourself!"
If Jiang Jinshi didn't have this Jade Seal in his hand, maybe everyone's thoughts could be stabilized, but seeing the Jade Seal, everyone exploded. After a long time, they were the regular army? ===== CHAPTER 335 =====
