Chapter 389: We also want equipment

The popularity of military attachés riding horses and civil officials sitting in sedan chairs was not popular in the Great Dragon Dynasty.

At present, all civil and military officials can ride horses, and they all have good horse skills. It's just that the generals who have been fighting in the field all year round are more proficient in horse skills.

After receiving the emperor's summons, regardless of the fact that the days of Xiumu were not over, all the famous people in the capital rushed to the gate of the palace one after another, and after handing over the horses to the guards guarding the city, they did not dare to rush to the imperial study without the slightest hesitation.

In particular, many officials have better understood the seriousness of this matter after meeting their colleagues, and the arrival of the Sixth Guard General, the left and right Zaifu, and the two Shangshu have further illustrated the urgency of the matter.

"Wu Guogong asks to see."

"The general of the Tiger Army, General Yun Lu, and General Yun Chong ask to see you."

"General Long Wuwei protects the country and asks to see him."

"General Haw Par Wei Guide General Wan Mingliang asks to see"

"Tiger Xiangwei General, Zhongwu Marquis Lu Chengjie asks to see him."

"General Xiaoguowei, Gan Liangbo, Dongfang Ming asks to see him."

"The Flying Eagle Guard, the general Yong'an, Hou Nangong Ye, asks to see you."

"Your Majesty has a decree to announce that all the princes and ministers will see you in the imperial study."

"Your Majesty, Ministers."

"Calm down, everyone Aiqing take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Before the Tang Dynasty, the courtiers sit, before the Song Dynasty, the courtiers stood, and the Qing Dynasty courtiers knelt.

I really don't know if it's the progress of the times or the regression, as far as the current Great Dragon Dynasty is concerned, except for the important days when the Jinluan Palace needs to kneel down to meet the upper court, usually only need to see the etiquette.

It doesn't hurt to bow down and show loyalty, but at least you can show loyalty.

As soon as the ministers were seated, a eunuch began to serve tea and set it aside.

Li Zheng's expression was serious: "Ladies and gentlemen, the inspection department has reported on the espionage, Emperor Jin sent an envoy to the Turkic Lu Department of Shi Bi, dozens of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and thousands of carts of grain and grass. ”

"Your Majesty, has the Inspection Department found out clearly, will the two steps of Lu Lu agree to Emperor Jin's drive to send troops to the northern frontier?"

Right Xiang Tong Sansi stood up first, wanting to know more information.

Li Zheng shook his head slightly: "The inspection department is always a little unable to stretch out his hands and feet in the mountains and rivers of the Jin country, after all, the spies of the Jin country are not dry food, they can only investigate these, and it is not clear whether they will send troops to the northern Xinjiang." ”

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, the Lu Ministry has always been open-minded when he sees money, since the Jin Emperor sent so many gold, silver and jewelry, the Turks will definitely be moved, and they will definitely send troops to the northern Xinjiang, not only can they accept the benefits of the Jin country, but also rob the property of the people in the northern Xinjiang."

"What Wei Aiqing said coincides with me, according to past experience, the Turks are a group of white-eyed wolves who are not familiar with the food, and they will definitely send troops when they send troops, but they don't know when they will send troops, what is the number of soldiers, how is the configuration, whether the light cavalry attacks or the heavy cavalry cooperates with the infantry to attack the city."

"This, the old minister can't guess it."

"Song Aiqing, what do you think?"

Song Yu pondered twice: "Your Majesty, the capital is thousands of miles away from the northern frontier, and it must be too late to send secret agents to investigate now. ”

Song Yu's words, Jiang Yuanming, the head of the household, was not happy: "Lord Song, what you said is simple, do you know how much silver it costs to prepare the army in the northern Xinjiang?" Do you know how much silver is left in the treasury? The army of 6 guards and 300,000 troops has now drained the treasury, and they can't supply so much grain and grass. ”

The relationship between Jiang Yuanming and Song Yu is actually quite good, as long as you don't want money to give anyone, the relationship is good, as long as you say that Jiang Yuanming can blush with anyone, there is no way, it is this errand that is in charge.

Song Yu glanced at Jiang Yuanming helplessly, his donkey temper Song Yu was very clear, and there was no way for the emperor to dare to scold the emperor for being unconscious, because the emperor himself knew that there was indeed no money in the treasury.

"Lord Jiang, this official is just talking about things, isn't it still up to to be discussed whether or not to send troops?"

"Discuss, no matter how you discuss, the official will have no money for a word."

Jiang Yuanming finished drinking tea with Song Yu taking care of himself.

Zuo Prime Minister Wei Yong thought for a while: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Song Shangshu's meaning, no matter what, prepare for the northern frontier first, and be prepared." ”

"The minister agrees with the opinion of the left minister, he is not afraid that the Turks will not send troops, but he is afraid that the Turks will really send troops, and then the northern frontier will be defenseless, after all, it will be taken by surprise by the Turkic cavalry, and if the city falls, it will be worth the loss."

"Two lords, you say it easily, prepare for the army, the grain and grass of the 300,000 army, you will provide for it, come and come, come and see for yourselves, is there any silver in the treasury? Originally, there was still a little emergency silver, and the protector spent two million taels to build new equipment, and now I don't have the money for you to kill the lower officials. ”

"Uh-huh, uh-huh."

Zhang Mad suddenly snorted a few times and gave Jiang Yuanming a few looks, but it was too late, and the other generals of the five guards looked at Zhang Mad one after another.

The generals of the Five Guards, who were all watching their noses and noses, had already decided, listening more, watching more, talking less, as long as their generals obeyed the orders, they would just hand over the quarrel to those civil servants.

The civil and military officials dislike the military attaché for being vulgar, and the military attache dislikes the civil and sour officials, and if you quarrel with you, we will just listen to the results.

But what did we hear, what did General Ben hear, Zhang Qiang actually withdrew two million taels of silver from the treasury to build new equipment, and he was also guarding the northern frontier Conglong Liuwei Why is he arrogant to have two million more military expenses than us, and is he arrogant and has two more eggs?

The other generals of the five guards looked at the emperor one after another, and their resentful eyes were like abandoned little daughters-in-law.

Your Majesty, the ministers also want new equipment, they are all heroes who protect the country, you can't favor one over the other.

Feeling the resentful eyes of the general of the five guards, Li Zheng was also a little embarrassed, and he also wanted to replace all the six guards with new equipment, but he had more than enough money and no money.

Subconsciously looked at Zhang Madness, who lowered his head and played with the dirt in his fingers, blowing from time to time, and not looking at the emperor at all.

What equipment is not equipped, we Lao Zhang don't know, I don't know.

Jiang Yuanming, the head of the household department, threw a book of accounts that he carried with him on the table: "A few adults look at it themselves, in a word, if you want money, you don't want to give a damn official, and the treasury has no money, do you blame the official?" ”

Jiang Yuanming even burst out vulgar words, there is no way, honest people will scold their mothers if they are forced to be in a hurry.

"Why, the food monarch is worried about the king, how to deal with the Turkic affairs, you have proposed a charter to me, the Turks are already preparing to fight hard, and they may go south at any time, and I am not calling you to make you stare at it."

Several ministers looked at Jiang Yuanming, the head of the household, no matter how good the method is, it is useless, there is no grain and grass, and the soldiers can't drink the northwest wind. 166 net
