Zhu Wu also gave his own explanation when he put forward three conditions, for the first condition, he said that only relying on a Liangzhejiang Road to raise hundreds of thousands of troops, in fact, the burden has always been very heavy, and the income and expenditure can only barely maintain a balance, and the war is not only the army, but also the money and grain, with the current financial resources of the Liangzhejiang Road can not support hundreds of thousands of troops to go to Jingdong to fight, so the cost of this money and grain can only be borne by the imperial court, otherwise he can only be powerless.

For the second condition, his reason is that in the last time the rebellion in Jingxi was quelled, the firearms that Zheng Linfeng secretly gave to the Fangshan thieves were too powerful, which shows that Zheng Linfeng must have more and more powerful firearms in his hands, let's fight them, if there are no firearms in his hands, he will inevitably suffer a great loss, and it is imperative to produce firearms, especially a large number of firearms! It's just that now there are not many days left before the start of the war, and it will definitely not be possible to manufacture a large number of firearms in a short period of time, and even if they are manufactured, it will take a few days to transport them from the Beijing Division to the Jingdong battlefield, so the best way is to move the entire firearms workshop to the vicinity of the front line as a whole, and make firearms and supply the army at any time!

As for the third condition, Zhu Wu expressed it very vaguely, saying that the reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and him was able to pacify the Fangshan bandits in a timely and smooth manner was not only the wise leadership of His Royal Highness the Prince, but also the mutual trust and cooperation between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and him. For example, in several key battles to pacify the Fangshan bandits, the Qishan army in his hands was used as the main force of the battle, and almost all the big battles and evil battles were the Qishan army rushing to the front, and the reason why he dared to fight so without scruples was because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trusted him very much and handed over the command of many Great Song Dynasty armies to him, so that he could arrange those troops to support and respond to the Qishan army where he needed them most. That's why this time he will implore the imperial court to also give him some of the military command of His Royal Highness King Yun, so that he can command part of the Great Song army to provide strong support for the Qishan army like last time, so that when the Qishan army charges at the front, he will not worry about falling into the unfavorable situation of being isolated or having fire in the rear!

The emperor and several ministers immediately studied the conditions put forward by Zhu Wu, and the emperor and several ministers scoffed at the reason for the first condition proposed by Zhu Wu. Don't say that it is not a problem to feed the 300,000 army with the financial and material resources of the Liangzhejiang Road, and it is not difficult to raise another 300,000, so the reason for Zhu Wu's lack of financial resources is simply an excuse! However, this is also normal, people are selfish, and it is unrealistic to let Zhu Wu send troops and let Zhu Wu pay money and food, and it is not realistic to fight for the Great Song Dynasty in vain.

The emperor discussed with several ministers for a moment and decided to agree to Zhu Wu's first condition, although the cost of supporting the 250,000 troops to run thousands of miles is an astronomical amount of money, but as long as Zhu Wu can send troops, as long as the Qishan army and the Jingdong thieves can fight a vicious battle, as long as they can finally eliminate the Jingdong thieves and restore Jingdong Road, this price is still worth it!

Isn't it money? To give!

Zhu Wu's first condition was successfully passed, and the emperor and several ministers began to discuss Zhu Wu's second condition, admittedly, Zhu Wu's reason is very sufficient, if there are really more and more powerful firearms in the hands of Jingdong thieves, the Great Song Dynasty does need a lot of equipment to not suffer, but the firearms workshop of the Beijing Division such as the Firearms Bureau is the most strictly controlled institution in the Great Song Dynasty, in order to protect firearms, there has never been a precedent for moving out of the Beijing Division, let alone sent to the front line of the battlefield, In case something goes wrong, how will the Great Song Dynasty produce firearms in the future? And more importantly, what if the Firearms Bureau and the firearms master inside were handed over to Zhu Wu, and then he learned how to make firearms? Even, what if he took the opportunity to accumulate a large number of firearms?

To sum up, the emperor did not want to agree to Zhu Wu. If he didn't agree, there was no good reason, in case he directly rejected Zhu Wu and caused his dissatisfaction, what if he regretted it?

The emperor hesitated and did not know how to deal with this matter, and at this time, the crown prince and Zheng Juzhong stood up, and they made a proposal to the emperor, that is, to make conditional concessions to Zhu Wu. 3

They suggested that the imperial court could send a firearms bureau and all firearms divisions, but they could not be handed over to Zhu Wu, but that they must still remain in the Great Song army and be managed by King Yun, and the imperial court would ensure that the firearms produced by the firearms bureau would be supplied to Zhu Wu first. In this way, the imperial court not only met Zhu Wu's request to bring the firearms bureau to the front line and could supply firearms in a timely manner. He could still keep the Firearms Bureau in his hands and selectively supply firearms to Zhu Wu, thus avoiding the hidden danger of letting Zhu Wu master the technology of producing firearms and allowing him to take the opportunity to hoard firearms.

As soon as the emperor heard that it really made sense, he then asked the opinions of King Yun and others, and King Yun and Tong Guan and others thought that this matter had no effect on themselves, and then they all agreed, and in this way, the emperor immediately adopted the suggestions of the prince and Zheng Juzhong.

So far, two of Zhu Wu's three conditions have been basically solved, but the next third condition is really in trouble, if Zhu Wu's first condition is asking for money, the second condition is asking for things, then the third condition is directly asking for power. And although Zhu Wu didn't say it explicitly, everyone heard Zhu Wu's voice, and Zhu Wu's meaning was clearly that he was talking about the prince, and he didn't trust King Yun. He had to get the command of the Song army in advance before he dared to let the Qishan army rush to the front to fight.

Everyone immediately had serious disagreements, King Yun, Tong Guan and others first stood up and resolutely opposed to agreeing to Zhu Wu, if the command of the army was handed over to Zhu Wu, then what else would His Royal Highness King Yun do? And handing over the military power to Zhu Wu is also full of hidden dangers, who dares to guarantee that Zhu Wu will not take advantage of this to secretly pit the Great Song Dynasty? In case Zhu Wu's command was wrong and the Great Song army suffered heavy losses, who should bear this responsibility?!

The prince and Zheng Juzhong thought that they could agree to Zhu Wu, because Zhu Wu was telling the truth, the last time in the pacification of Fangshan bandits, it was because the prince agreed to Zhu Wu's request before each major war on how to deploy the rest of the Song army to cooperate with him, he agreed to send the Qishan army to the front of the army, and the facts also proved that Zhu Wu's deployment was correct. Moreover, Zhu Wu also said that he was willing to send a large army to rush to the front to fight, he didn't really want to take the imperial army for himself, he just wanted to have a few large armies to stay in his rear, and listen to his orders to quickly support him, is this request too much? People are willing to work hard, if you don't even agree to this reasonable request, won't it chill people's hearts? Who would dare to give us their lives?

After listening to it and thinking about it carefully, the emperor finally felt that the words of the crown prince and Zheng Juzhong were more reasonable, and he decided to agree to Zhu Wu's request, but the words of King Yun and others were not completely unreasonable, and they promised Zhu Wu that they could, but they still had to be restricted, and they couldn't be left to their own devices!

Soon, according to the emperor's idea, the ministers had a countermeasure, that is, they could appoint Zhu Wu as the deputy commander of the rebel army, and they could command the Song army to deploy around the Qishan army before the war, but the condition was that the Qishan army must rush to the front, and the Song army was only responsible for countermeasures.

Subsequently, the imperial court's reply to the three conditions was relayed to Zhu Wu by Zhang Di out of the palace.

"Wu Guogong, that's what the Holy Lord means, what do you mean ......?" Zhang Di asked,

Zhu Wu showed a tangled look on his face, and did not speak for a while,

Zhang Di looked at it and said, "The Holy Lord said, Wu Guogong doesn't have to rush to reply, let you think about it again." The slave family will return to the palace. ”

"Okay, thank you, father-in-law." Zhu Wu got up gratefully to send him off, and at the same time took out a small purse from his arms and stuffed it into Zhang Di's hand.

Zhang Di was stunned for a moment, "Wu Guogong, ...... are you?" ”

Zhu Wu smiled slightly, "This was handed over to my father-in-law by the princess before I came, and the princess said that when I was in the palace before, my father-in-law took care of it, and her father-in-law was good, she kept it in mind." ”

Zhang Di hurriedly excused himself, Zhu Wu let in again, Zhang Di smiled embarrassedly and stuffed the purse into his arms, "Then thank you to the princess and the concubine, the slave family has left, please stay, stay!" ”

Zhang Di went out of the house, walked all the way to the door of the mansion and got on the sedan chair, and when the sedan curtain was just lowered, he suddenly couldn't wait to take out the purse from his arms, and when he opened the purse and pulled out the thin three pieces of paper inside, he couldn't help but gasp after following the emperor for a long time and was already familiar with all kinds of wealth! Then he slowly stuffed the purse back into his arms, and his face was full of joy and a deep sigh,

"No wonder everyone in the capital now says that the master of the horse is good......! 'M afraid...... The Great Song Dynasty will soon have another powerful minister......! ”
