Chapter 853: Pride
Dong Ce looked at the emperor intently, under the armor, covered in hot sweat and stirring thoughts, he had already flown to the Canglan border.
Gearing up, I can't wait for the emperor to give an order, and immediately set off and rushed to Gu Zhen's side, looking up to how this god-like general waved thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and instructed his 100,000 elite soldiers.
His thoughts were interrupted by the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and the emperor raised his hand and waved, "Since the garrisons from all over the country have brought rations over, you don't have to hurry, I will give you a day's work, no matter what method you use, raise half a month's military rations for me, so many people participate in the war, if the war can't end in half a month, he Gu Zhen has no face to come back to see me, the silver of the treasury, I will tell the people in the household department, you are open." ”
"But one thing, one of the money has not been used for business, what the result, you know!"
The military department Shangshu immediately nodded yes.
A big battle of this scale gave him ten guts, and he didn't dare to deduct it, not to mention, the other party was still Gu Zhen......
"The military rations and materials are all available, and you don't have to send them in person, just let Dong Ce bring the elite escort of the Xishan battalion. ”
Dong Ce generously accepted the order.
The military department Shangshu hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, with military supplies of this scale, I am afraid that the treasury will be difficult to handle." ”
The emperor didn't care, "After winning this battle, the entire Canglan country is my treasury, and I still care what I do with this little money in the treasury now!"
As he spoke, he turned his head to Dong Ce, "You sent supplies over and told Gu Zhen that I allowed his soldiers to embezzle the finances after the city was broken, but I must move the Canglan treasury back intact!"
Since ancient times, it has almost become a common practice for the army to press the border and break into the city, that is, on the first day of the city, those soldiers who go out to fight and kill can take the valuable money and finances seen in the city as their own.
Gu Zhen and the emperor have always acquiesced to this.
What military discipline is strict...... Desperately beat the head to the point of bleeding, and as soon as the city is captured, you tell them that this is not allowed and that is not allowed...... Don't say that the soldiers are dissatisfied, and their own conscience can't get over.
Could it be that the city captured by the soldiers could only be owned by the emperor?
Up for grabs!
It's just a little bit, if you want to rob it, you can only rob the finances of the local yamen and officials' mansions, and the people's belongings, and they are not allowed to touch anything.
Burning, killing, and plundering are even more strictly prohibited.
The emperor's words fell, Dong Ce hugged his fists and took the order, and his heart was beating with a pop, wanting to break his chest.
The secretary of the military department continued to hesitate, "But the wealth of the treasury is used to buy military supplies, and this military salary is ......."
Although it is a matter of the household department, but everything related to the military department, he has to ask clearly.
The emperor glanced at him, "Breaking the city and robbing it for a day, they are afraid that they won't be able to take all that money, who cares about military salaries! Those corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Canglan Country have already prepared military salaries for me!"
Speaking of this, a thought burst out of the emperor's mind.
Those garrisons from all over the country sent five thousand elite troops to support, did they sincerely support Gu Zhen, or were they optimistic that Gu Zhen would be able to break through the city and want to make a profit......
Gee......
No matter what, as long as we can win the vicissitudes in one fell swoop, we will have no worries for at least three generations from now on! What's more, once the vicissitudes fall, at least for decades, South Vietnam and Liaodong will not dare to think about it again!
In this world, he can also sit back and relax and hand over to Xiao Yu!
The things to be ordered were ordered, and everyone took the order, and the emperor got up, and with a restless breath, paced back and forth on the smooth marble floor of the imperial study.
Gearing up, full of ambition!
originally thought that his path to the emperor would always be mediocre after the battle of Miaojiang that year, although there was no merit or fault, but he didn't expect that Gu Zhen would create such a vigorous and prosperous battle situation for him.
Such a stroke was recorded in the history books by the historians, which is simply the biggest dazzling feature of his dynasty.
A battle of this scale brought him praise through the ages.
The emperor's heart was surging and agitated, and the resentment in his heart that had been due to the ink embers for several days had all dissipated at this moment, and his blood was even more boiling.
More enthusiastic than the emperor is Dong Ce.
As soon as he got out of the imperial study, he sent his entourage home to report his safety to Bai Yuetang, so he inquired about Xiao Yu's whereabouts and went straight to Concubine Hui's bedroom.
When Dong Ce passed, the topic between Concubine Hui and Xiao Yu happened to end, Xiao Yu was about to get up and leave, when he suddenly saw him rushing in with a suit of armor, Xiao Yu was stunned, "You are too exaggerated, isn't it just a suit of armor, you wear it wherever you go!When did you come back?"
Ignoring Xiao Yu's jokes, Dong Ce hurriedly saluted Concubine Hui, and said with his eyebrows flying: "I'm going to fight side by side with Gu Houye!"
Excited, he pulled Xiao Yu's hand, shook it up and down, and repeated: "I'm going to fight side by side with Gu Houye!"
Saliva sprayed Xiao Yu's face.
Xiao Yu suddenly ......, "You shouldn't have covered your brain in armor!" Gu Houye will return triumphantly in a few days, where are you going to fight side by side!" While saying, he pulled out his hand from Dong Ce's hand that grabbed him, wiped his face, and muttered to Hui Guifei, "Mother, I was sprayed with saliva, do you want dark spots on your face?"
Seeing that Xiao Yu didn't take his words seriously, Dong Ce jumped to his feet anxiously, "I'm serious, I just came out of the imperial study, Gu Hou Ye gathered 100,000 elite soldiers, and went straight from Liaodong to Canglan all the way, Your Majesty sent me to send military supplies to Gu Hou Ye!"
As soon as his words came out, Xiao Yu, who was still careless, suddenly changed his complexion, and suddenly solemnized, "What did you say?"
Concubine Hui couldn't help but be surprised, she only heard the emperor talk yesterday, saying that Gu Zhen had a great victory in the battle of Liaodong and would return to the dynasty in a few days...... As far as she knew, Gu Zhen didn't take a total of 100,000 people with him when he set out from Kyoto that day, and after a fierce battle, how could there be 100,000 elite soldiers.
Could it be that he captured a few prisoners from Liaodong...... But you have to charge 100,000 yuan...... I'm afraid I'm not going to catch all the soldiers in Liaodong, right?
frowned and looked at Dong Ce.
Dong Ce saw that Concubine Hui and Xiao Yu finally listened to him carefully, breathed a long sigh of relief, sat down on the chair opposite Xiao Yu, poured himself a cup of hot tea, raised his head and drank it all, and told the story of the imperial study, "...... Why did Gu Hou Ye suddenly go to Canglan, I don't know, anyway, now people from all walks of life are gathering in Canglan, and there is a great tendency to crush Canglan, and I, as the captain of the material escort, will go to Canglan and fight side by side with Gu Hou Ye!"
Dong Ce was full of pride.
Xiao Yu was stunned by the young man who led the wolves to the battlefield mentioned by Dong Ce...... That child, if nothing else, is Gu Yuqing's younger brother and Gu Zhen's sister-in-law!
