Chapter 112: I want to regain the lost territory, but the national strength is not enough.... (Ask for a full order!) )

"I now announce that from now on, Martial King Bai Qi can mobilize any army of the Great Qin Empire, or without prior communication, if Martial King Bai Qi commits a great deed, I am willing to take all the responsibility!"

Since you said that Bai Qi triggered the military law, then give Bai Qi this privilege, and all the military power will be handed over to Bai Qi, depending on what you say!

Anyway, it is impossible for Ying Chang to punish Bai Qi, otherwise the soldiers will be chilled, and in the future, Bai Qi is likely to have too many scruples, resulting in the loss of the fighter!

"Your Majesty is like this, the minister has nothing to say!" Lei Tong bowed deeply and returned to his place with an expressionless face.

His purpose is to let Ying Chang give Bai Qi privileges, otherwise there will definitely be generals to follow suit in the future, and now that Bai Qi has privileges, those generals who do not have privileges will not dare to follow suit, and when the goal is achieved, there will be nothing to say.

"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Luo Xing knelt on the ground excitedly and kowtowed.

Bai Qi was still indifferent, but he was also relieved in his heart.

Chang Zifei and other ministers were a little surprised, Ying Chang said this, that is, all the military power of the Great Qin Empire was handed over to Bai Qi, this right is too big, this is how much trust Bai Qi has to make this decision.

Ying Chang sat back on the dragon chair with a solemn expression, looked at Yang Ze, the secretary of the military department, and asked, "According to the law, how much is the war death pension?" ”

When Yang Ze heard this, he immediately bent down and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, five taels!" ”

"Five taels?" Ying Chang Meiyu fell into deep thought, five taels of silver is five hundred yuan, if you save a little, it is enough for a family of three to eat for two or three years, but this is still too little, the soldier paid for his life, what a blow to the soldier's family.

If you want to let soldiers work the battlefield, it is useless to have a military merit system alone, because many soldiers care more about their families than about their military merits, and many people enter the military camp just to receive 50 yuan a month to subsidize their families, so that their families can eat an extra bowl of rice.

Therefore, if you want the soldiers to serve the country wholeheartedly, you must ensure the lives of the soldiers' families, otherwise the soldiers are concerned about their fathers and wives, and how can they devote themselves to killing the enemy wholeheartedly.

As soon as he thought of this, Ying Chang had an idea in his heart, and immediately said sonorously: "From now on, the war death pension will be increased by five taels, and all soldiers who died in the war can go to the local government to receive a pension of ten taels!" ”

When Jarrow heard this, his hand couldn't help but tremble.

One ten taels, 18,000 soldiers is 180,000 taels, this is not a small amount!

"Your Majesty loves soldiers like sons, and the ministers are the soldiers of Great Qin, thank Your Majesty!" Du Changjing knelt down emotionally and thanked him!

As the saying goes, if you have been on the battlefield together, you will be a good brother who will never forget it for a lifetime, and as a general, he often leads the army to fight, more like the parents of the soldiers.

"The soldiers are for me, for the birth and death of Daqin, if I can't even guarantee what will happen after their death, how can I stand in the world!" Win Chang's eyes are firm, without a hint of discoloration.

When the ministers heard this, they were moved, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of security, and they couldn't feel the phrase "accompanying the king like a tiger" at all.

To be able to assist such a Ming Jun, it is really the ancestral tomb that is smoking.

"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The ministers bent down and shouted from the bottom of their hearts, without a trace of compliment, all from the bottom of their hearts.

"Ah Qi, you have made such a great contribution, what do you want?" Ying Chang looked at Bai Qi with a smile on his face and asked.

"What do you want?" Bai Qi asked expressionlessly.

"Me?" Ying Chang was stunned, and the ministers on the left and right sides were also stunned for a moment, and they all felt a little strange, how could it seem that Bai Qi was the emperor and was asking Ying Chang what he wanted.

"As long as you want, I'll help you get it, I know, you really want to recapture the lost territory of Great Qin, so be it, you give me 50,000 soldiers and horses, and I will take advantage of the victory to pursue and wipe out all the anti-Qin forces in the lost territory of Great Qin!" Bai Qi's indifferent tone was mixed with infinite confidence, and his scarlet eyes were terrifying.

"King Wu, Xia Guan knows that you are invincible and invincible, but it is too early to regain the lost ground..." Chang Zifei sneered.

The rest of the ministers nodded in agreement.

Bai Qi's divine might, they have all seen it, but it is not so simple to regain the lost territory, the main thing is the logistics problem, the Qin army wants to recover the lost territory, the battle line must be lengthened, the battle line is elongated, and the difficulty of logistics supply is straightforward, maybe you can use the battle to support the war, but the generals on the opposite side are not fools, and the tactics of clearing the field are the entry-level tactics of every general.

The treasury of the Great Qin Empire has two million stones, two million stones seems to be a lot, but in fact there are not many at all, first of all, the total strength of the Great Qin is 160,000, and the food of 160,000 people is taken from the treasury, especially the 100,000 army in Xiguan, which consumes the most.

This is not that the soldiers of Xiguan can eat, but the distance, for example, the national treasury allocates 200,000 stone of grain to Xiguan, and when it arrives, there will be most of it left, after all, the people who escort the grain also have to eat, so the farther the distance, the more food will be consumed.

According to the amount of three meals a day for the soldiers, the household department roughly calculated, the army alone consumes 800,000 stone of grain every year, in addition to the army, there are also the palace, the yamen of various ministries, and the consumption of local governments, plus what natural disasters may occur, disaster relief is needed, and the two million stone is gone....

Grain can be bought, but it also has to be bought to work, Qin Jin is now in trouble, no matter how much money is given, it will not be sold, unless it is smuggled, but smuggling can only be smuggled a little, it will be detected when it is big, and it will not be able to meet the needs of Great Qin at all, not to mention the Qi Empire, let alone can't buy it, even if it can be bought, it has been almost half a year since it came back and forth, and it has been impossible to come back for a year when it encounters continuous extreme weather.

Moreover, the Great Qin Empire is also in urgent need of money now, the officials' salaries must be paid, and the soldiers' salaries must be paid, and the 160,000 soldiers will be paid to the standard of 50 yuan a month, which is 8 million yuan, which is equivalent to 280,000 taels of silver, plus the officials' salaries, as well as the expenses of the yamen of various government ministries and departments, as well as the salaries of the tenth-class peasant lords, which cost more than 2 million taels a year.

The treasury now has tens of millions of taels of silver, and it seems that two million taels a year is nothing, and it is not even one-tenth of the treasury, but you must know that there are still officers whose salaries have not been calculated, and they must be more than fifty cents a month.

Even if you don't consider the problem of money and food, you must also consider the problem of labor, for example, the loss of 18,000 in the first battle of Yangguan this time, then Daqin will have to recruit troops from the people to replenish the soldiers, but the people will lack labor, which is likely to lead to the desertion of fertile land without cultivation.

If you don't recruit soldiers, there will be fewer soldiers, and you won't be able to meet the standards for protecting the empire.
