Chapter 184: Willing to fight for his father's armor
Zhou Tingyu got the reply of his mother and knew that his father had really agreed to Shu Yanhua to become his concubine, and he was infinitely happy in his heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He also thought that it would take a lot of lips and tongues, he thought that he would work hard for a long time, and he didn't expect that his mother would agree, and then his mother asked his father and the emperor to agree, which was really an unreal feeling.
Zhou Tingyu wanted to go to see Shu Yanhua immediately and tell her about it, but he walked out of his palace, only to remember that Shu Yanhua didn't know that he liked her, and now he said this, if there was no will to give marriage, wouldn't this be a hooligan and become a disciple?
Zhou Tingyu thought for a while, turned around and walked towards another palace road, Qingyun followed behind him without saying a word.
Because of the ineffective protector, Emperor Chengde handed over Qingyun to his son to deal with himself, and after Zhou Tingyu came back, he ordered Qingyun to fight thirty boards to set an example.
At this point, Zhou Tingyu was not soft-hearted, if it weren't for Qingyun's non-stop search for more than two months after he disappeared, he would have been unable to stay by his side for a long time.
Zhou Tingyu has received the education of the royal family since he was a child, and it is impossible to be soft-hearted, no matter what the reason, Qingyun has no protector after all.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Fifth asks to see you." Cai Sande whispered.
"Oh?" Emperor Chengde still lowered his head and looked at the fold, "Let him come in." ”
"Yes."
"Fifth Highness, please." Cai San had to go out and said to Zhou Tingyu respectfully.
"There's Mr. Lao Cai in charge." Zhou Tingyu nodded politely.
"The son of the emperor greets his father." Zhou Tingyu saluted obediently.
"No courtesy, why did you come to my father's place?" Emperor Chengde glanced up at his son.
Zhou Tingyu came to discuss something with his father.
"Father, when my sons were on the run, I once heard from the people of the frontier that the Turks often looted in my Great Xia frontier when they came in, but is there such a thing?"
When Emperor Chengde heard this, he put down the folds and looked at his son for a long time, "Oh? Do you hear the people speak in the frontier? Which city? ”
When Zhou Tingyu came, he had already evolved dozens of times in his heart, and he also deduced his father's reaction, and repaired the loopholes himself, so he came to the imperial study to talk to his father about it.
At this time, he listened to his father's question, and said without changing his face: "Hua Niang and I fled all the way, and happened to meet a family migrating from Hanoi County on the way, some old and some young, so I stepped forward to talk, and only from their mouths did I learn that in recent years, the Turks have often crossed the border to loot, and their family is afraid that it will be affected, so they will move their families. The old man also told his son that the Turks had crossed the border and killed many people, and those people were terrifying, men, women, and children. ”
Emperor Chengde looked at his son with sharp eyes, and looked at his son without dodging, and only said after a while: "Yes, that's true." ”
Zhou Tingyu already had a piece of *** on his back, and when he saw that his father was no longer looking for the roots, he loosened his shoulders.
Zhou Tingyu was a little excited when he saw his father's admittance, "Father, since the Turks are so bold, why don't you send troops to the Turks?" In this way, the Turks are allowed to burn and loot in my Great Xia realm, where is the majesty of my Great Xia? How can you be worthy of my people in Great Xia? ”
When Emperor Chengde saw his son questioning him, not only was he not angry, but he was very relieved, in the end, it was his beloved son, who learned such news when he was on the run, and when he came back, he asked him a thing or two, instead of treating it as if there was no such thing.
put the people in his heart, this is his good prince of Daxia.
"Little Wu, do you know what it takes to start a war?" Emperor Chengde asked with a light smile.
Zhou Tingyu replied without thinking: "There must be experienced generals who know how to fight, strong soldiers, and sufficient food and grass...... I also need to have the support of your father. ”
Emperor Chengde smiled slightly, "To fight, the right time, place and people are indispensable. ”
"The time and place are favorable, I have everything in Daxia, but the people are still lacking."
Emperor Chengde smiled, "I have a group of veterans like Ning Guogong who have been on the battlefield in Great Xia, and there are also strong soldiers like the Tiger Ben Army and the Weizhen Army, but we don't have the food and grass to support a long-lasting fight." ”
"The treasury, there is not much silver." The smile on Emperor Chengde's face faded.
This is the real reason why he was so happy when he saw Shu Hongxuan proposing a new law.
The Turks had been in the country for three or four years, and when he received the secret music sent by the frontier generals from the secret passage, he was furious.
Dare to attack his people, it's really a long life!
However, when he sent troops to support the frontier and sent troops to the Turks, he found that the treasury was not enough.
The silver in the treasury was only enough to fight a two-month war, which calmed down Emperor Chengde, who wanted to smash the Turkic imperial court.
The Turks are nomadic peoples, and if they go to war with the Turks, they must be prepared for a long war.
If the people and money are wasted, and only let the Turks be quiet for a while, and then wait for the Turks to recuperate again, and then invade the border, this is not a good thing for Great Xia.
The good sons of Da Xia are not wasted like this! If you want to use it, use it on the blade! The life of Daxia Erlang is more valuable than the life of the Turks.
Therefore, he could only endure it, and at the same time issued secret orders to the generals of the frontiers, relocate the people on the outskirts of the city, strengthen the city walls, strengthen the training of soldiers, send no less than two cavalry to sweep the Turks every year, and prohibit all trades in tea, salt, and iron with the Turks.
Later, he also began to select better soldiers and generals in the army, and even began to secretly form iron cavalry.
Because it costs a lot of silver to raise an iron cavalry, if it weren't for the good weather in Great Xia over the years, the silver in the treasury is estimated to be at the bottom.
But this was still not enough to start a war, so he was determined to implement the new law.
Zhou Tingyu was a little dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that the treasury was not enough silver, and asked stupidly: "But father, didn't you say that you wanted to build a palace a few years ago?" ”
Emperor Chengde glanced at his son, "The Turkic invasion of the territory can't just be said in the court, the Turks who invaded the territory at that time were only a small group of people, and the courtiers in the court would not approve of the father's army, so the father had to use another excuse to ask the household department Shangshu if the treasury was enough." ”
Zhou Tingyu smiled stupidly, and said, "Then Father, is the silver in the treasury enough now?" ”
"It's going to be a few years away." Emperor Chengde had already calculated that after the implementation of the new law, it would take a few years for it to be fully effective, and the territory of Great Xia was vast, and it was impossible to get all the "land measurements" done at once.
And his iron cavalry has to be raised again, and the number of cavalry is still too small.
Zhou Tingyu suddenly dressed up and said solemnly: "Father, the son wants to go to the army to survive, the day you send the army to the Turks is the time for the son to charge the trap for you!" (To be continued.) )
