The full name of a pig teammate is called "pig-like teammate", and as the name suggests, it refers to those who always hold the team back, betray their teammates, and harm their teammates.

It stands to reason that for a person like Han Yi, who is quite capable and shrewd, the word pig teammate will not be able to put on his head no matter what, but it is a pity that he really deserves this title today.

Seeing Gu Bingqian's cannibalistic eyes, with Han Yi's shrewdness, he didn't understand that there must be something wrong with his proposal just now. In a short period of time, Han Yi's mind spun around countless times and thought about countless possibilities, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

According to Han Yi's experience and understanding, the Jiangning army currently has a total of about 30,000 to 40,000 foot soldiers, plus more than 10,000 Fujian sailors, and the military salary that needs to be consumed every year is at best one million taels of silver, which is already up to the sky, and this has been given according to the treatment of the Liaodong border army, and it is still very worthwhile to use one million taels of silver a year to remove the military power in Yang Feng's hands.

In Han Yi's view, as long as Yang Feng has no military power, he is a tiger without teeth and claws, and he can no longer pose a threat to the civilian clique in the future. As long as Yang Feng is transferred out of the Jiangning army, won't this army be left to them in the future, and when Yang Feng has no influence at all, it is not impossible to disband this army, so that even one million taels of silver per year can be saved.

Han Yi's wishful thinking was not shrewd, but he still underestimated the lethality of this monster created by Yang Feng himself.

I saw Yang Feng arching his hand towards Han Yi, with a smile on his face: "Elder Han Ge, since Your Majesty said so, then Hou Ke will hand over the Jiangning Army and the Fujian Navy Division to you, and from next month, all the military salaries, equipment, baggage and other materials required by the Jiangning Army must be allocated by the cabinet as scheduled, otherwise if the consequences such as mutiny and salary are caused by insufficient military salaries and equipment, it will be borne by the cabinet." ”

Han Yi's face changed slightly, although Yang Feng's tone sounded faint, but he couldn't hear the thick threatening tone inside, but the matter had come to this point, of course he couldn't back down, and said with his chest straight: "Master Hou, although rest assured, next month, the official will order the household department to broadcast 100,000 taels of silver to the Jiangning army to replenish military supplies, and the Jiangning army soldiers will not be hungry." ”

"100,000 taels of silver?"

Yang Feng was slightly stunned, and then laughed, his laughter became louder and louder, and finally he leaned back and laughed together.

Seeing Yang Feng so arrogant, Han Yi didn't speak yet, and Zhu Guozhen's face on the side also sank, "Yang Feng, this is in front of Your Majesty, on the Jinluan Palace, although you are a marquis, how can you be so presumptuous!" ”

Yang Feng's laughter still didn't stop, and he finally waited until the laughter was a little quieter, and then he pointed at Gu Bingqian, "Gu Ge Lao, I'm really sorry, I bother you to tell this Han Ge Lao and Zhu Ge Lao how much silver taels and materials Jiang Ningjun and Fujian Navy need to allocate every month." ”

Gu Bingqian shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Zhu, Lord Han, you two are new to the city, and it is understandable that you don't understand some things, the old man has a list of military salaries and expenses reported by Jiang Ningjun half a year ago, you two can take a look." ”

After speaking, Gu Bingqian rummaged through his sleeves, and quickly took out a list and handed it to them, "Because this list is too impressive, the old man specially left it on his body, and flipped through it from time to time, and now it happens to give you two a look." ”

Han Yi took the lead in taking the list, looked at it at a glance, and his face immediately turned blue.

"Impossible...... That's impossible...... With only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, how can he use so many silver taels every month, Yang Feng must be lying! ”

Looking at Han Yi, who was very excited, Zhu Guozhen, who was puzzled, took the list from his hand, just glanced at him, and his face immediately changed, but he was not as excited as Han Yi, and looked at Gu Bingqian with puzzlement: "Gu Ge Lao, Jiang Ning's army is only forty or fifty thousand people, and the salary required every month is 300,000 taels?" In addition, 2,000 guns per month, 100,000 catties of medicine, 2,000 pairs of iron armor, various military uniforms, bedding, and medicines, these expenses add up to 200,000 taels, and the Fujian Navy Division's monthly expenditure on military pay and equipment alone reaches 500,000 taels of silver, do they eat gold? ”

Zhu Guozhen's voice was loud enough for the nearby civil and military officials to hear, causing a big uproar. If calculated in this way, Jiang Ningjun's monthly expenses need at least one million taels of silver, which is 12 million in a year, and such a large expenditure is not enough even if all the taxes paid by the Ming Dynasty throughout the year are filled.

"Lying, he is lying, Jiang Ningjun is only tens of thousands of people, how can he use millions of taels of silver every month, Yang Feng is alarmist, he is bullying the king!" Han Yi suddenly shouted, glared at Yang Feng and said, "Yang Feng, you actually made such an outrageous list for Your Majesty, what are your intentions?" ”

Looking at Han Yi's face, which had turned pale from panic, Yang Feng sneered, "Bully...... Dare to ask Lord Han, why did Ben Hou deceive the king? Did you deceive Your Majesty of the money or the equipment and grain allocated by the imperial court? ”

"You ......"

Han Yi was stunned for a moment, yes...... Since the establishment of the Jiangning Army, all the equipment and military salaries required by Yang Feng have been raised by Yang Feng, and he has never asked the imperial court to allocate a penny.

Looking at Han Yi who had eaten a lump of Xiang, Yang Feng sighed softly, he knew that not to mention Han Yi on this issue, there were few civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty who could understand, so he patiently explained.

"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, the reason why Ben Hou made this list is not to stir up nonsense or to open his mouth. Although the Jiangning army has tens of thousands, it can maintain its expenses of two or three hundred thousand taels per month, but only the newly built Fujian Navy Division is different.

For example, there are now 12 shipyards in Fujian building warships at the same time, and the cheapest sixth-class battleship costs 10,000 taels of silver, the fifth-class battleship needs 18,000 taels of silver, and the third-class battleship under construction now costs 57,000 taels of silver.

After two years of hard work, the Fujian Navy Division now has a total of 32 sixth-class warships, 28 fifth-class warships, and 17 third-class warships, so the cost of building these warships alone will be about two million taels.

In addition, these warships need less than twenty or thirty guns, more than one hundred, these guns alone need three to four million taels of silver, in addition to training sailors, sailors also have to go to sea for training, each artillery gun needs to cost one to two taels of silver, it seems that it is not much, but now our Fujian Navy Division has a total of about 3,000 guns, and a salvo needs to consume five or six thousand taels of silver. And the sailors have to go to sea almost every day to train, so ......"

Listening to Yang Feng settling accounts there, everyone was stunned, even Zhu Youxiao was so frightened that his mouth was open enough to stuff a duck egg.

According to Yang Feng's algorithm, spending one million taels of silver a month is already considered thrifty, and if it really blooms, just two or three months of Fujian sailors can swallow the taxes of the Ming Dynasty for a whole year. Yang Feng is raising a water master, this is simply raising a gold-swallowing beast!

"Also, some time ago, when the Fujian Navy Division exterminated Zheng Zhilong, a total of hundreds of thousands of catties of sub-medicine were consumed, and ...... soldiers were killed."

"Alright, alright...... Yang Aiqing don't say it, Aiqing will present a fold in the future, and I will take a good look at it. ”

Yang Feng was about to continue, but Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on it, couldn't help but stop quickly, he was worried that he would not be able to stand his heart if he listened to it any longer.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Youxiao looked at Han Yi with a complicated expression, "Han Aiqing, now do you want to bring the Jiangning Army under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War?" ”

At this time, Han Yi's face was pale, and the whole person became a little depressed, and now he finally understood why Gu Bingqian was so frightened when he heard that Zhu Youxiao planned to return the Jiangning Army to the Ministry of War, and the cabinet was responsible for the overall arrangement, he would rather resign than push off this errand. Where is this to collect military power, this is simply a big trouble.

With no face, he was stunned for a while, smiled desolately, and bowed to Yang Feng: "Master Hou, this matter is under the official Meng Lang, and I hope that Lord Hou will forgive his sins." ”
