At this time, the ministers finally understood what kind of successor they were following.

It's not a well-kept king in a corner of the country.

It's a hegemon who opens up thousands of miles!

Just look at the end of Varat and Tatar.

King Ning will never allow anyone to be presumptuous within the territory of the Great Ming!

In fact, it is actually very reasonable to think about it, King Ning has so many weapons, and he has prepared 300,000 cavalry early, how can he live by guarding this foundation in peace?

In the future, under the leadership of King Ning, there must be more wars.

The territory of Daming will also be further expanded.

However, in this way, Daming's burden is not small.

Back then, in history, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used troops against the Xiongnu and emptied the treasury accumulated by several generations of emperors.

Although the Xiongnu were driven out in the end, it inevitably fell into the name of a reckless soldier in history.

At this moment, a minister came back to his senses and suddenly noticed that something was wrong.

That's not right, King Ning has fought so many wars so far, and it seems that he basically didn't spend much?

A minister raised this question in his mind.

The ministers reminded them like this, and suddenly discovered what they had ignored before.

Oh, yes!

After these wars, King Ning really didn't reach out and ask the treasury for any money!

At most, they took some grain and grass.

But that was too little compared to what they expected the cost of the war!

The ministers looked at each other, and "Five-Three-Zero" felt that something was wrong.

Historically, no matter which emperor went to war, it was mostly costly.

War, sometimes a war of national strength.

The competition is whether the national strength of the two sides can last longer and farther.

Grain and grass, weapons and armor, war horse training, firearms research, etc., etc., these expenses alone are innumerable.

How did it come to King Ning, it didn't cost much, and it was still able to win one victory after another?

This phenomenon is so weird!

After pondering, some ministers speculated: "Could it be the cost of King Ning's previous fief?"

After all, those cavalry and artillery guns were all brought by King Ning himself.

It shows that when he was in Daning Mansion, King Ning already had these things.

Some ministers agreed, but others disagreed.

"Daning Mansion is extremely cold, and the land is also barren, how can it be possible to obtain so much money for King Ning's use?"

If he really has a lot of money, then wouldn't King Yan have more money, after all, his fiefdom Beiping is much better than Daning Mansion.

It stands to reason that King Yan can cultivate more cavalry.

However, the reality is that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, really only has 100,000 troops in his hands, and he has no backhand power when he fights against King Ning, and he is easily defeated.

This is not at all true.

However, apart from the money obtained from the fiefdom of Daning Mansion, they really couldn't think of any other economic resources from King Ning that could be used to build such an invincible army.

In addition to the cost of those war horses, the daily consumption of grain and grass by so many armies is already an astonishing amount.

Where did King Ning get so much grain and grass?

Thinking of the end, those ministers couldn't think of the answer to their questions even if they thought about it in their heads.

In the end, I can only put this issue aside for the time being.

Wait for King Ning to come back, and then discuss.

On the other side, in the dungeon, Jiang Zhen rushed in with a happy face.

This is the happiest Jiang Zhen since Zhu Yuanzhang entered the underground palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Jiang Zheng behaving like this, and he already had a guess in his heart.

At present, Zhu Quan is going to conquer the two tribes of the Northern Yuan.

Seeing Jiang Xuan's performance, he can also guess that there is good news from Zhu Quan's side.

Even so, Zhu Yuanzhang still asked Jiang Xuan: "What happened? so happy?"

Jiang Zhen knew that his face was a little too obvious, so he eased his expression.

reported to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, there is indeed a great joy, which can really be said to be gratifying." "

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Jiang Zhen had actually sold Guanzi in front of him, and couldn't help but ask: "Where does the joy come from?

Jiang Zhen didn't dare to delay, and immediately said the information he was going to report.

"His Royal Highness King Ning's army is overwhelmed, and all those Warat and Tatar troops have been defeated! Although the Great Khan of Tatar has not yet been found, there is no place for them to live in the north. "

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the news, he was simply surprised and delighted!

At the same time, it is a little unbelievable.

He confirmed again, "Are you serious?

Where did Jiang Zheng dare to hide it.

Immediately replied with the news of Jinyiwei's spying: "The matter is indeed true, Your Majesty, according to the news from Jinyiwei, King Ning's army first defeated the Wara army in Xuanfu. "

"Later, he joined forces with Lan Yu to wipe out the main force of the Tatar army in Anping, and now King Ning is pursuing the Tatar Great Khan, presumably there will be results later. "

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the premonition in his heart just now came true, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

He couldn't help but praise: "Okay, Old Seventeen played well this time!"

To be honest, he felt in his heart that Zhu Quan's expedition to the Northern Yuan would achieve certain results.

But he didn't expect it to be such a brilliant result!

Destroy the main forces of Varat and Tatar!

This means that in the future, Daming will no longer have to worry about the frontier being harassed!

This is an immortal achievement!

Since the Song Dynasty, the aliens in the north have been the main troubles of the dynasty.

It's been hundreds of years, and someone has finally solved this matter once and for all!

And this man is still his young son!

How could this not make him proud?

Zhu Yuanzhang carefully read and read the battle report sent by Jiang Xuan, for fear that he was dreaming.

You know, for so many years on the throne, he has been worried about this issue.

It's not that he didn't think of solving these problems of Beiyuan himself.

But the north was bitterly cold, and the soldiers of the two tribes, Warat and Tatar, were familiar with the terrain and fought with great ferocity.

So that every time he sent out the army, he could only clean up those who were floating on the surface, but the internal foundation could never be shaken.

Now that we don't have to worry about the people on the frontier being harassed in the future.

From now on, those places will be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty!(To read violent novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt his blood boiling, as if he was the one who did this.

Jiang Xuan saw that Zhu Yuanzhang finally showed a long-lost smile, and couldn't help but be happy from the bottom of his heart.

He smiled at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Your Majesty, now it seems that His Royal Highness King Ning is simply a military genius!

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything like "rebel" at this time.

He glanced at Jiang Zhen and said, "Of course, after all, they are all our sons, haven't you heard the saying that a tiger father has no dog?"

Jiang Zhen saw Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, but he was silent after all.

Although he didn't say anything on the surface, he couldn't help but say in his heart, then Zhu Yunwen is still your grandson, isn't he still beaten by King Ning and retreated?

Replaced by Zhu Yunwen, can he do this?

Not to mention that it has been done, I am afraid that it is possible to be beaten by the army of Warat.

Yan King Zhu Di can fight, even if it is him, he can't annihilate two tribes at the same time!

To put it mildly, even if His Majesty goes into battle in person, he may not be able to do this.

Unconsciously, Jiang Zhen had already determined one thing in his heart, that is, such a great cause, I am afraid that only King Ning alone can do it!

If you were any other person, you wouldn't be able to achieve such a consequence!

However, Jiang Zhen can only say these words in his heart, and he will never dare to say them.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what he thought, and the smile on his face dispersed, but he showed a worried face... 0。 []

He suddenly asked Jiang Xuan, "By the way, how much did King Ning spend on the treasury when he went to war this time?"

Jiang Zhen was also stunned when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang ask.

He didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would suddenly ask this question.

How much does it cost?

They are patronizing to see the success or failure of the war, where can they have time to care about this problem!

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help frowning, and there was infinite worry in his heart.

Jiang Zhen didn't know, but he knew it in his own heart.

After he ascended the throne, although the Ming Dynasty recuperated for a few years, the treasury has been in a state of making ends meet.

In his early years, he killed many corrupt officials, and this is how much better.

Even so, with the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, it would definitely not be able to support such a long-term battle against Warat and Tatar.

This is also the most fundamental reason why he gave up attacking the Northern Yuan before.

If the treasury is emptied for this reason, resulting in the collapse of the Ming Dynasty's national strength, what is the use of laying down these places?

Once there is a natural or man-made disaster, the Ming treasury can't come up with the money, and it's all over.

The national strength collapsed, and the people could not get relief food, so they were going to rebel!

Zhu Yuanzhang has been starving, and even how uncomfortable it is to be starving.

At the beginning, it was because his family starved to death that he rebelled against the brutal Yuan Court.

And once the current people starve, maybe they will also revolt and imitate him to overthrow the Ming court.

That's what worries him the most.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was in such a hurry, Jiang Zhen immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister will go to check immediately, Your Majesty will wait a moment." "

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and motioned for Jiang Zhen to go quickly.

In order to ensure that there were no mistakes, Jiang Xuan immediately ordered Jinyiwei to investigate the accounts of the treasury with him, focusing on the current situation of the treasury.

Jin Yiwei's hands and feet were neat, and he quickly found the account book of the state treasury.

Unexpectedly, the results he got surprised him and the Jinyi Wei who participated in the investigation!

Jiang Xuan didn't dare to delay, and immediately ordered Jinyiwei to send a copy of the account book, and then took the copied paper and rushed to the underground palace.

In this way, it has taken several hours.

During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang was in the underground palace and was extremely anxious.

He paced back and forth, thinking about one thing in his mind.

If King Ning really emptied the treasury in order to fight, then what should he do?

Although he has his own private treasury, that amount of money can be said to be completely inadequate compared to the national treasury. 5.2

And he has been living a simple life in the past few years, and letting him fill this gap really hurts him.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang felt a headache, Jiang Zhen walked quickly into the underground palace and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. "

Jiang Zhen actually spoke so calmly.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang feel a lot of anxiety in his heart, and he asked, "What is the result?"

Jiang Zhen replied: "Now it has been found that King Ning did not use the money from the treasury during this time, but only requisitioned 100,000 stone of grain and grass. "

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this result, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and he blurted out: "How is this possible?"

He is also a man who has fought in battles, and how much food will be consumed in a day for 300,000 cavalry, can he not know?

Besides, King Ning's projectiles and gunpowder of those artillery guns are not obtained out of thin air, they always need to be replenished, right?

Not to mention, King Ning rushed to Beiping tomorrow to fight Zhu Di, and went to the grassland to fight two tribes.

How is it possible not to spend money on such a long-distance battle?

Zhu Yuanzhang decided that Jiang Zhen was telling a lie to make himself feel at ease.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Jiang Zhen immediately handed over the copied accounts to Zhu Yuanzhang for inspection.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the accounts and looked at them with disbelief.

After a while, he looked shocked and said, "How is it possible? How can this be about the same number as when I left?
