Chapter 557: Military Affairs

And even now they don't know exactly who is behind the scenes......

But there is one thing, it is obvious that he has a certain amount of power on the border of Western Xia, and even the local civil and military officials definitely have his people.

Zhou Yubai sighed slightly, after all, he underestimated the enemy.

He put down the teacup heavily and said to Fu Nianjun:

"The current situation should not be so bad as this, big brother, we have to continue to keep an eye on it, and I have to write to it immediately on the east and west roads of Hebei, as well as my grandfather's ......side."

It's still a bit difficult to stir up the yellow.

Fu Nianjun was worried: "If you interfere, will you be ...... by him?"

Will it be calculated by the people behind the scenes?

Zhou Yubai smiled and said to her, "Is it because this thing is risky, I won't do it?"

Choking on food has never been his style, not to mention that the people behind the scenes have always been slightly inferior to him in terms of resourcefulness.

Fu Nianjun lifted his spirits, "Now there is General Di over there, with him, the situation should not be too bad." ”

At that time, Zhou Yubai and Fu Kun teamed up to recommend Di Ming in front of the saint, and now he is like a tiger watching on the border of Western Xia, and if the Western Xia people want to make a move, they have to weigh it.

Fu Nianjun thought of Wang Yongcheng, who was in charge of the Privy Council, "Wang Xianggong, are Qilang going to say hello?"

When it comes to border military affairs, you can't get around this person.

Zhou Yubai said: "That's not necessary, according to my current identity as Fu Xiang's son-in-law, he may not be willing to talk to me more." ”

Fu Nianjun was a little embarrassed.

"However," he said, "Wang Xiang is conservative and upright, although I can't get close to him, others are the same, you can rest assured for the time being, even if the eldest brother has any moves, the first one is probably thinking about bypassing him." ”

Fu Nianjun nodded, but he was still a little worried, "Qilang, Wang Xianggong has always been the lord and faction, plus this year is the thirty years since the official family ascended the throne, I don't want to fight when I look at the official family, and now my father's status in the court is slightly lower than that of Wang Xianggong, I'm afraid that this matter will drag on ...... again."

They all knew that there would be a war between Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, but now the wind direction of the imperial court is inclined to delay the arrival of this war, and it is delayed until it can no longer be delayed.

Especially at the end of last year, Western Xia also stopped harassing the border because of the lack of green and yellow, and the war that was about to ignite was suddenly extinguished, and the current saint and the lord and faction are also relieved.

Now that the saint is getting older, he now thinks more and more about comfort and enjoyment, and he doesn't want to fight at all.

As soon as the war starts, the 30th anniversary celebration of the enthronement that I have been thinking about will be over.

What's more, the military expenditure of the Great Song Dynasty was huge, and in the event of a war, the treasury would be half empty, and he would have already known what those people at the bottom wanted to say to him, the emperor, and what His Majesty should be the first soldier to eat.

To what extent did the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, who was already poor, still have to cut back on food and clothing? Did he not even eat mutton when he ate, but only vegetables?

Zhou Yubai, who is a son, knows very well that his father's resistance to war is stronger day by day.

He understood what Fu Nianjun meant, "Nianjun, a sudden war can indeed change a lot of things, and it may also cause the plans of the people behind the scenes to change halfway, but if we miscalculated, the Western Xia people would have colluded with him a long time ago, then this war, even if the Great Song Dynasty wins, may only lose both...... What's more, now that Xiao Rin and I have not fully negotiated, under the interference of others, the price paid for fighting an unprepared battle is too great. ”

The diplomatic relations between countries are unpredictable, and Fu Nianjun also knows that his thoughts just now are a little too naΓ―ve.

What's more, it seems that not only them, but also King Su's side is also trying to connect with Liao.

It can be said that it is really a headache.

"There's one more problem. ”

He said.

Zhou Yubai's fingers rubbed a pen in his hand, his eyes were a little empty, his expression rarely appeared, Fu Nianjun had long been accustomed to the way he was in his chest about everything.

Fu Nianjun felt that what he encountered this time might be the biggest difficulty he and her encountered.

"It's the combat effectiveness of the border army, and the ability of General Di Lao to lead the troops and my father-in-law can trust him, but ......"

"But money and food can't keep up. ”

Fu Nianjun interface.

The topic turned back to "poor".

The treasury is full, but the cost of raising soldiers is too huge, and there are such moths as Zhang Xuanhui, the uncle of Zhang Shufei, can the money spent by the defenders in various places be treated the same as the elite soldiers who resisted the Western Xia?

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and Western Xia has to fight, and the silver in the treasury must at least keep up.

But looking at the lazy appearance of the court now, Fu Nianjun felt hanging.

"Shichiro, this is a top-down process, and I am afraid that it cannot be changed for a while. Fu Nianjun said.

In her memory, there was such a reform of the army in the new policy advocated by Fu Kun in the later period, but this was a rather cumbersome matter, and they would definitely not be able to wait for it without ten years.

I don't know if there's any quick fix.

Fu Nianjun has a very bold idea, if he can collect the wealth of King Su, the industry of the people behind the scenes, and the money that Zhang Shufei and Yelubi do business...... It is a very easy way to devote himself to military affairs with Western Xia.

But she also knew that this was a bit whimsical, so she stopped for now.

Zhou Yubai said: "I will go to Fu's house tomorrow to discuss with my father-in-law and uncle, no matter what, I have to fight for the part of military expenditure as soon as possible." ”

Fu Nianjun nodded, his heart was heavy.

At this point, she saw Zhou Yubai's brows furrowed, looking at the stack of rice paper in front of her, she knew that he still had several letters to write, so she proposed to go back to the backyard first.

After going back, she first asked Yilan to go to the small kitchen to watch, and waited for Zhou Yubai to come back and arrange a few more foods, but she also knew in her heart that he was afraid that he would not come back early today.

Fu Nianjun sat alone on the edge of the bed in a daze, looking at the pillow that Zhou Yubai slept on weekdays.

Doesn't she know him well enough?

Although he didn't say it explicitly, she also had an intuition, and she could get a hint of the meaning from what he wanted to say and stopped.

He would probably go to the Western Xia border, where there were many things waiting for him to do.

On the one hand, there are peace talks with Liao, and you can't relax, and you even have to guard against Zhang Shufei tossing out a moth.

How much pressure he was under, she had never known so clearly as she did today.

She really wanted to help him do something, but when it came to military affairs, she was a woman, and her ability was really limited, and the only thing she could keep an eye on for him was a small Suwang Mansion......
