Profound Pure Guard

August 17, overcast.

The sultry weather enveloped the entire imperial city, even if the old dog on the street was weakly pulling his head under the tree and didn't want to move. Only the people on the road are not afraid of everything, and they are still busy with sweat.

Xiao Er, the restaurant outside the restaurant on both sides of Junhou Street, always ran out to look around. Almost every one was like this. I wondered why the adults after the Great Chaos Meeting hadn’t come out yet? Usually, after every big dynasty meeting, those adults would look for a few drinks in twos and threes at the restaurant on the side of the street. At this time, the restaurants will prepare some exquisite side dishes in advance for those adults.

Why haven't you seen the palace gate open today?

Xiao Er from the restaurant just muttered in his heart, worried that the delicate dishes prepared in advance in the back kitchen could not be sold. And the ones who are really upset are actually the group of adults they are thinking of.

In the Manmin Palace neatly stationed, everyone has serious faces, whether they are military or civil servants.

When Zuo Yuliang's emergency report requesting the emperor's military talisman to sing into the hall in the form of a red ling emergency report, he stunned most of the unsuspecting ministers in the hall.

Really fighting? !

Many people in the military service also only heard about this news, so they were extremely excited, blushing and kneeling down to fight. Some people would rather give up their current fats and titles and only seek to serve in the southern frontier army, even if they were only one. The name is long, as long as you can use your knife on the battlefield.

And he also understood that at the Great Chaohui, the emperor needed to make a conclusion on the spot for such an urgent Hong Ling to report. If the emperor agrees to open the troop talisman, then it is to give Zuo Yuliang full power. At that time, the southern frontier army will break out to fight with all strength, and will never stop regardless of the victory or defeat.

On the contrary, if the emperor rejects Zuo Yuliang's request, it means that the strategy behind the kingdom is to shrink and defend, and will not attack the barbarians. At least the forces currently deployed in the barbarian region will be quickly recovered. It is even possible that the so-called "peace talks" will follow.

That's why the military officers reacted so fiercely. They can endure the previous suppression by the civilian officials, and they can also endure the Ministry of War being indirectly controlled by the emperor, but they absolutely cannot agree to the overall advantage but choose the strategy of external weakness. This is every military position. Shame.

The military officials were very excited, and the civilian officials also jumped high like a painful foot.

The civil servants headed by Zuo Xiang Ye Lansheng talked and talked about Zuo Yuliang’s request as a beast. It’s not wrong, it seems that as long as the emperor agrees to Zuo Yuliang’s request to open troops, then the old dynasty will surely do it. The general disappearance within three years, the listener is terrified.

The emperor sitting at the head of the main hall remained silent like a statue. After a long arguing between the people on both sides, he suddenly raised his hand and said: "Bai Changqing, I remember the balance of the last quarter of the household, and the official warehouses everywhere are also good. When it is 90% full, the army’s grain depot has only replaced a batch of old grains. Isn’t it full?"

To fight a war, the household department is part of the confidence. How much money, food, and material reserves are in hand can determine the direction of a large-scale war. Therefore, the emperor did not directly express his position, but directly asked the core.

Bai Changqing has long known that as a householder, she is inevitable in such matters. Now she goes to work and replied: "Back to your Majesty, after the collection of the case of the Ministry of Households last season, warehouses in various regions are indeed abundant, and the materials are already available. It has reached about 90% of the normal reserves of the country. However, although the national treasury is abundant, once a major war will inevitably damage the various projects that the country is repairing, the canals, official roads, reservoirs, etc. will be forced to stop, and the initial expenses will be stopped. It will be in vain..."

Bai Changqing's words are very simple. In summary: Although the treasury is abundant, it is not enough to swallow the monster of war, not to mention that once it is fought, it will have an immeasurable impact or even damage to all aspects of the country.

These are not Bai Changqing's random openings but facts. Fighting will not only kill people, but also hurt the foundation of the country if you are not careful.

Generally speaking, "harmony is the most valuable" is the universal value.

But the emperor obviously had his own plans. After waving his hand to make Bai Changqing stand up and return to the queue, he asked the spokesperson of the Ministry of War, Zuo Shi Lang Wen Mingju: "How feasible is the comprehensive military strategy for southern China that the Ministry of War has been doing a few years ago? How long will it take to get up to fight?"

Wen Mingju was the first person to get the news. One night to prepare, he naturally tried to be as comprehensive as possible. He quickly responded: "Return to your Majesty, the strategy for the use of troops in the south has been in succession since ten years ago. The plan has gone through dozens of different adjustments, and finally is today’s standing strategy. According to recent estimates, if a full fight, the probability of the country and the DPRK winning is more than 80%, and it will take more time for the worst. , But the main war will never last more than two years."

"in accordance with."

"Your Majesty, this is the summary of the War Department based on the war damages of previous kingdoms and barbarians, and it is also the main reason for the forty years of population plundering strategy. If the barbarians are still suffering from war damages like before, they It will definitely not last for two years. This is still predicted with the worst plan. In reality, it should not take that long.

Although suppressed by the civil officials all the year round, and although there are bad bugs in the Ministry of War, what should be done is not abandoned. At least in terms of the strategy obtained by the inscriptions, the barbarians are indeed counted as dead in the past few decades. dead. Using the simplest algorithm, even the speed and number of dead people fighting on both sides can basically count the barbarians into a dead end.

Of course, the previous case of the Ministry of War is not suitable to be said on this occasion, and it can be regarded as a life for the barbarians. But no matter what, it still cannot change the fact that the population has been plundered for a full 40 years~www.wuxiahere.com~ The current strength of the barbarians is definitely not as good as the level of the last war, and the old Jing Dynasty here has been stable development for 40 years. , Not to mention hurricane advancement, at least it is getting stronger and stronger. The gap between one entry and one exit is not a star and a half.

"I'm not the emperor of the moment, but I also led the country to win a lot of powerful enemies, including Nanban. If you can win once, you can win the second time. Don't always think about everything with "goodness", Nanban and us are not simply feuds that can be clarified. No one has tried to make peace with us for thousands of years. In the end, it depends on the swords in their respective hands.

There will be sacrifices in wars, whether dead people or stagnant domestic projects, they are all controllable and bearable. If the barbarians are allowed to grow up freely, then the situation will become uncontrollable, and that is the biggest hidden danger! "

The emperor's voice was not loud, but in the Manmin Palace, it sounded like a breathtaking roar in everyone's ears.

At this time, everyone knew in their hearts that this was the emperor's statement, and it sounded like the main battle.

"I don't care about any estrangement or disagreement between you, but you will keep it away from today. The war is imminent. If you can't agree to the outside world, it will be a hindrance to the country and the enemy, and you will be treated strictly according to the law. Do you understand everything?"
