Chapter 898: Prepare for All-Out War!
A fleet has a maintenance fee of one million a year, and now the Wuyang Navy Division and the Haozhou Navy Division have been formed, each with five fleets, and the annual maintenance cost is 10 million, so this year's budget of the Ministry of War is very high, except for the Ministry of War, the budget of the rest of the departments has not dropped much!
After reading the budget of the twenty-eighth year of the Holy Qin, Ying Chang fell into deep thought, and now the annual fiscal revenue is 540 million taels of silver, but the annual fiscal expenditure budget is almost 350 million taels of silver.
According to Jia Luo, next year's fiscal revenue will drop sharply, or even only one or two hundred million, and next year's fiscal expenditure budget will be raised, and Daqin will be unable to make ends meet, and if it continues like this, it will be extremely unfavorable to Daqin.
Ying Chang put together the budget, put it on the royal platform, and then looked at Jia Luo and asked, "How long will it take for the grain and grass of the major battalions to arrive this year?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, as long as there are no major accidents, you will be able to arrive at the major camps in early March this year, and arrive in early April at the latest!" Jia Luo respectfully bent down and saluted back.
Ying Chang nodded in understanding, and then said: "I think about it, I still can't give the countries too much time, it's not that I'm afraid of the alliance of the nations, you have also seen that the war drags on for a day, and the taxes of my Daqin tariffs, commercial taxes, and the three states outside the customs have plummeted!" ”
"I have an army of nearly 10 million in Daqin, and the daily consumption is extremely amazing, not to mention that there is still a pension system and a subsidized treatment fee system, where does all this money come from? It is mainly collected from customs duties, commercial taxes, and so on! ”
"Without these taxes, I have to drink the northwest wind from top to bottom, as the so-called from thrift to luxury, from luxury to frugality, I don't want to suffer from poverty, and you are the same, so I decided to launch a full-scale war in May this year, what do you think?"
As soon as he heard this, Jia Luo hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty Shengming! ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!" The ministers also seconded the motion.
Ying Chang's words were addressed to the hearts of the ministers, and they very much agreed with the mention of launching an all-out war.
Seeing that none of the hundred officials objected, Ying Chang said with a solemn expression: "Where is the book of the military department!" ”
"The minister is here!" Yang Ze, the secretary of the military department, stood out of the queue and responded.
"The order was issued by the Ministry of War, and the commander of the Yanshui battalion, General Zuo, Yang Zhong, led 300,000 Qin troops south to attack Shu on May 1, and asked him to cooperate with the Yue Dynasty, the Yue Dynasty does not have to participate in the battle of Shu, and is responsible for the logistics of our army, as well as assistance in all aspects, if the Yue Dynasty has different intentions, they will be destroyed together!"
"Order Yang Long, the commander of Nanguan, to lead 300,000 Qin troops south to attack Qi on May 1, and destroy the Qi Dynasty at all costs, if the Qi Dynasty does not obey our Qin army to go south to attack it, let them send envoys to see me, he Yang Long is responsible for destroying Qi, and the rest does not care, in addition, while he destroys Qi, by the way, the Zhongshan Kingdom is destroyed!"
"Zhongshan is a small country, dare to provoke Daqin, it is true to seek death, if I don't destroy him, he doesn't know how many catties and taels he has, in addition to the army of Nanguan, the 150,000 troops of the Tankou battalion are also attacking together, and the military department will send an order to the general of Ningta, Garu Yue!"
"Ordered Luo Xing, the commander of the Tiger Prison Battalion, to lead an army of 350,000 troops south to attack Zhao on May 1, and ordered the commander of the Manshan Battalion to break the capture of the generals Ma Daring and Shangyang Houdu Changjing, and to lead an army of 200,000 troops to the south on May 1 to attack Xia!"
"Order Yin Hai, the capital of the naval division, and order him to lead the naval division to attack the port of the Xia Dynasty and the port of the Chu Dynasty on April 1, if he can land and assault the rear of the enemy, it is the best, the most important thing is the Xia port, which determines whether our Qin army can cross the Yellow River and enter Handan County!"
"And I will join the Martial King Bai Qi and lead 200,000 Jingshi to drive the expedition in person, and will pass through the grasslands and Yue Dynasty in the eastern region of the Western Desert to enter the territory of the Han Dynasty, this battle is the largest war in the history of our Great Qin and the history of Kyushu!"
"I don't want the future history books to say that the Qin army was defeated, and this battle must be won, and it must be won!" Ying Chang's expression was generous, sonorous and powerful, and his tone carried a powerful sense of excitement, which made people listen to it, and their hearts were solemn.
"Great Qin will win! Great Qin will win! Great Qin will win! ”
The ministers shouted excitedly, shouting three times in a row, and Daqin will win!
The morale of the monarch and the ministers has risen to the extreme!
"In the days when I am not there, the left and right prime ministers jointly supervise the country, the palace guards, temporarily controlled by the queen mother, if there is a person who commits trouble, the queen mother has the right to cut first and then play, all the love of the secretary to report state affairs, the first to report to the left and right prime ministers, if the left and right prime ministers are too busy, or the left and right prime ministers have urgent matters that need to be decided, they can be handed over to the queen mother to decide!" Ying Chang said with a solemn expression.
Some ministers couldn't help frowning, as soon as the 200,000 Beijing divisions were transferred, the biggest force in Xianyang City was the 50,000 Praetorian Guards in the palace, if the queen had a different heart, it would be over, and it might even be repeated.
Of course, this is just thinking about it, and I don't take it seriously after thinking about it, it's just a little worry, after all, the queen mother is not a princess of another country, she is the daughter of a native of the old Qin, her father is still a loyal general, and her brothers and nephews are also loyal people, so it is absolutely impossible to do such a ridiculous thing.
People are very contradictory, that is, they think that she will not do these things, but there are still worries in their hearts.
And the reason why Yingchang handed over the palace guards to Yang Xiao is because there is no one to trust, since Zhao Ke's incident, the only trustworthy people in the palace are Pei Ji and Yang Xiao, Pei Ji is going to accompany the army together, so only Yang Xiao can guard his hometown for him.
He trusted Yang Xiao very much, it was impossible for Yang Xiao to do anything to betray him, there was no reason to betray him.
"Your Majesty can rest assured that the war will not fail Your Majesty's trust!"
"The front-line soldiers will fight, and the ministers will make all the logistical arrangements, and they will never appear, and the front-line soldiers will fight hungry!"
Zhang Feizi and Yang Ze bowed back solemnly and saluted.
Ying Chang got up from the dragon chair, took a deep breath towards the ministers and said, "That's all for this, retreat from the court!" ”
"Ministers and other respectful to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
"Retreat!!"
After a period of time, Yingchang left the Qilin Palace and rushed in the direction of Ganquan Palace, and all the ministers immediately returned to their respective yamen, and at the same time announced to the world again that Great Qin would start a full-scale war on May 1!
This all-out war will be a protracted war!
The household department and the military department became the busiest yamen.
The Ministry of Industry began to find maps of the countries and prepare for the construction of roads and canals after the victory of the war, and the Ministry of Officials began to prepare for the selection of alternative officials, dividing the new administrative regions of the countries, and as soon as the war was over, it immediately sent officials to various places.
