Chapter 299: The Imperial Court Argues!
"You... Ha ha... I... Haha..."Yingchang was immediately amused by Jarrow.
"Haha, Master Jia is crazy, haha!"
"Daejo, Daejo, haha!"
The ministers were also happy, the whole hall was filled with the laughter of the ministers, and many of the ministers who laughed had stomach aches, in fact, it was nothing funny, but when they saw Jia Luo's appearance, they couldn't help but laugh.
"Ahem!" Ying Chang pretended to cough and forcibly held back his laughter, and the rest of the ministers also held back when they heard Ying Chang coughing deliberately, their faces were flushed, and Jia Luo was also holding back, but he was trembling all over.
Ying Chang took a deep breath, and his face became solemn, "In this battle, although my Great Qin won a complete victory, the number of fallen soldiers reached 100,000, 100,000, 100,000 Great Qin men buried their bones in other places, which is the sorrow of the country!" ”
God is fair, while the Qin army won a great victory, it also paid a tragic price, this price made Ying Chang sigh in his heart, and it was inevitable that he was a little distressed, you know, this is not 12,000, but a full 100,000, which is undoubtedly worse for Daqin, who is already young and insufficient!
Hearing that 100,000 soldiers were killed in battle, the smiles on the faces of many ministers suddenly solidified until they dissipated, and the joy in Jia Luo's heart also dissipated, and the heavy number of casualties made the ministers fall into silence, 100,000 good men of Daqin buried their bones in other places, and 100,000 families wore linen and filial piety and became lonely widows.
Everyone can understand the pain of losing their fathers, husbands, sons, brothers, and loved ones.
"Where is the book of the military department!" Ying Chang snorted lightly with a heavy expression.
When Yang Ze, the secretary of the Ministry of War, heard this, he immediately walked out of the civil official queue, and bent down to Ying Chang with a solemn face and responded: "The minister is here!" ”
"The list of fallen soldiers, the hussar general also sent it, in addition, the soldiers' battle merit book was also sent over, and I will send someone to send the death book and the war merit book to the military department, and the military department will carry out accounting, the bereavement of the bereavement, the reward of the reward, and the soldiers must not be allowed to shed blood and tears, no one shall slack off in this matter!"
"If I know that there is a mistake in the bereavement reward of the Ministry of War, I will ask the Ministry of War, and in addition, the Ministry of War will also prepare a budget and submit it to me for reading!" Ying Chang's tone is light, but it is full of imperial majesty, and people dare not say a word.
"Obey the order!" Yang Ze bent down solemnly and shouted, and after he got down, he retreated to his position.
The hall began to quiet down, and the ministers were silent, as if they were mourning for the 100,000 fallen soldiers. ”
Ying Chang's brows furrowed slightly, and he fell into deep thought, and after pondering for a while, he replied: "Generally speaking, after a war, it is to make up for the losses as much as possible, so as to maintain the country's military strength and prevent no resistance when foreign enemies invade!" ”
"However, my Great Qin is different, the Jin Empire in the east has no power to attack Qin, the Qi Empire in the south is my Great Qin ally, the Qiang people in the west are still busy with the unification war, and the main force of the Xiongnu in the Bailan Prairie in the north has been completely wiped out by my Great Qin, and the Xiongnu remaining in the Bailan Prairie are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and there is no possibility of attacking Qin!"
"Moreover, the soldiers are not many but the fine, the iron cavalry of the Great Wall of Northern Qin and the Xiongnu have been fighting each other for half a year, and now the 60,000 surviving Great Qin Iron Cavalry have become the elite Iron Cavalry of Great Qin, and 60,000 elite Iron Cavalry are stationed on the Great Wall, even if there are 100,000 or even 200,000 Xiongnu, it is difficult to break through my Great Wall and invade my Qin land!"
"In addition, it only takes three months for the Ordnance Department to gather 60,000 iron cavalry of new standard equipment, once all the 60,000 elite iron cavalry of the Great Wall of Northern Qin are equipped with new standard equipment, the combat effectiveness will definitely be able to turn up again, at that time, why be afraid of strong enemies!"
"Therefore, my Great Qin does not need to recruit troops to replenish the troops, and the 60,000 elite iron cavalry of the Northern Great Wall is enough to protect the northern border of Great Qin!"
Hearing Yingchang's words, many ministers nodded approvingly.
Today's Great Qin Empire has a stable border and strong strength, and has the strength to defend Great Qin, and there is no need to recruit troops to replenish troops, so it is still the king to take advantage of the stable border of the Great Qin Empire to vacate the young and strong to develop agriculture and mulberry and strive to improve national strength!
"Got it!" Chang Zifei also nodded, and then raised his hand and said, "The minister has another question, how is Your Majesty going to arrange the 70,000 Jin women brought back by our army this time?" ”
Ying Chang did not answer Chang Zifei immediately, but looked at the rest of the ministers and threw this question to the ministers, "What do you mean by Aiqing?" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that my Great Qin is exactly seven counties, and the seventy thousand Jin women should be evenly distributed among the seven counties!" Shang Shulei of the Criminal Department stood up in line and proposed.
"Lord Lei is surprised by this!"
Yang Ze, the secretary of the military department, once again stood out of the queue.
Without waiting for Yang Ze to continue speaking, Lei Tong looked at Yang Ze, and then asked, "Why did Lord Yang say this, why do you think this official is surprised?" ”
Yang Ze smiled indifferently, bent down to salute Yingchang and said: "Your Majesty, the 70,000 women of the Jin Empire, all of them are the soldiers of my Qin army who fought bloodily and took them from the hands of the Huns, and they should be rewarded to the meritorious soldiers as trophies, so that the soldiers can not only feel the majesty of His Majesty's grace, but also boost the morale of the army, isn't it beautiful to kill two birds with one stone?" ”
"Lord Yang is wrong in saying this!" Jialuo, the head of the household, stood up in line with an indifferent expression and refuted Yang Ze's opinion.
"Please show it, Lord Jia!" Yang Ze saluted Jia Luo, Jia Luo raised his hand to return the salute, and then bent down to Ying Chang and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that you must not reward the Jin girl to the soldiers, otherwise you will bury disaster!" ”
"Oh?" Ying Chang was suddenly puzzled, and immediately asked curiously, "Where did this calamity come from?" ”
"What's the trouble with this?"
"Yes, where did the calamity come from, it's good to reward the soldiers!"
Some of the ministers couldn't help but muttered softly, making the hall a little noisy, and when Tang Hua, the head of the palace, saw this, he immediately shouted: "Silence! ”
When the words fell, the ministers who were talking about it closed their mouths one after another, and the hall was quiet again, and after the hall was quiet, Jia Luo continued: "Our Great Qin and the Jin Empire are on the same fire, and it is only a matter of time before the Jin is destroyed, if the wives of our soldiers are Jin, when the Jin is destroyed in the future, will the soldiers have compassion for the Jin army because their wives are Jin?" It's hard to say, but if we can avoid this scourge, we should try to avoid it! ”
"Haha, Master Jia, isn't this a contradiction?" Yang Ze couldn't help but smile.
"What's the contradiction?" Jarrow asked rhetorically.
