Chapter 134: Attack on Shikoku
Chapter 134: Attack on Shikoku
The news that was unfavorable to the Yuan family quickly spread from Luoyang to various states and counties.
Although all the disciples of the Yuan family are banning, this kind of Dongyue seal is spreading more and more.
And it seems real.
At the same time, along with this news, the reaction of public opinion to the four northeastern countries has become more and more intense.
Since Shikoku is so rich, and now it belongs to the Great Han, why can't you collect more taxes from them, why can't you let them contribute more money to Your Majesty.
So the dissatisfaction with Shikoku is also growing.
Gradually, people learned that Shikoku had been actively preparing for war, and was constantly building castles and defenses.
What's more, they have been eroding Lelang County, which originally belonged to Dahan.
This is attached to the big Han, and it is clearly encroaching on the big Han.
So the radical faction began to conquer by force.
Of course, most of them are military generals in this regard.
On this day, Emperor Ling sat on the throne and asked: "Zhongqing, the people are discussing whether to attack the Four Kingdoms to show the power of my Han Dynasty, today I want to ask you, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, the four kingdoms are not subservient." The main attacking minister stood up and said.
The minister of the lord and the minister said: "Your Majesty, the four kingdoms are all subservient, and they belong to the Han vassals, and there is no fault, how can they use troops in vain." ”
"Submission, joke, when have they ever been really attached, but they are just superficially claiming to be vassals, secretly devouring the land of my Han Dynasty, expelling and mutilating the people of my Han Dynasty, their country is rich, but they are disrespectful to Your Majesty, and they only pay tribute with ginseng and wild fruits, how is it right." The minister of the main battle said with a sneer.
"Ridiculous, how poor Shikoku is, how can you get rich in your mouths." The Lord and the others hurriedly came out to block this matter, and it was rumored that the Yuan family had colluded with the four of them and swallowed the money of the Son of Heaven, so they naturally came out one by one to deny it.
The wealth of Shikoku must not be recognized.
Otherwise, the Yuan family is really yellow mud and falls into the crotch of their pants, it's not but is.
"Haha, so you are sure that the four must be at fault, devouring the land of the Han Dynasty." A military general stood up and said.
"This ......"
The people of Yuan's line were beaten by the sudden turn, and they knew that this matter could not be on the hard top, because there must always be a compromise between the two things.
That's politics.
Dead friends do not die poor.
Just keep the reputation of the Yuan family.
So they turned off the fire one after another.
"Since all the secretaries feel that the four countries are at fault, then they are all in favor of attacking the four countries as a punishment." Thinking that the four countries were rich, and if they won the four countries, countless fortunes would move into the West Garden, and the Spirit Emperor Liu Hong was on fire.
"Shikoku is rude!" All the ministers replied.
But agreeing is agreeing, but the problem of sending troops is a headache.
Because everyone knows that the emperor is a miser, a miser.
It costs money to send troops, is Liu Hong willing to do it?
Once it is related to money, it is bound to be ripped off, and then prevaricated, and in the end, it can only be a formality, and it will not be over.
Sure enough, Liu Hong said: "Then who do you think should lead the army to conquer the four countries, and how much should you send troops?" ”
"Your Majesty, now the situation in Liangzhou is unclear, there is no army to send, and the military budget is difficult to raise, if you use the money and food of Shaofu, you should be able to recruit an army of 35,000."
"Ahem! Secretaries, I know that the treasury is difficult, but the Shaofu is also overdrawn and unable to cope with military spending. Liu Hong was like being stepped on by a fox's tail and immediately exploded.
If you want to use his private money, there is no door.
As for the army of 35,000, he was even more frightened to extinguish the idea of using force.
He's not stupid, how much does it cost for an army of fifty or sixty thousand to eat, drink, and sleep.
"Your Majesty, since there is no military spending, I am afraid that I will not be able to conquer the four countries for a while." The minister of the Lord and the minister stood up and said helplessly.
That means, if you don't wait, when your emperor and old man have money, we will be fighting.
Liu Hong was still a little unwilling, and then swept over the ministers, and found that no one stood up to say anything else, which was all ready to be put on hold.
Don't look at the fierce shouting of the main battle, but the emperor doesn't want to pay, and they are helpless.
They know what the emperor above is trying to do.
But after waiting for a while, just when Liu Hong was about to dispel this idea, Huangfu Song stood up and said, "Your Majesty has a book. ”
Liu Hong said: "Aiqing, please play." ”
Huangfu Song said: "Your Majesty, Donglai Taishou Weihai Marquis Xu Dingtuochen handed over a letter of request for war, please look at it." ”
"Oh!"
Liu Hong was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Huangfu Song to mention Xu Ding, what did Xu Ding mean by sending a letter of war at this time, it seemed that he could guess eight or nine.
So he raised his hand and said, "Present it, I will take a look." ”
"No!"
Huangfu Song finished singing the promise, and then handed over what Xu Ding handed to him.
The great eunuch took it, and then presented it to the Spirit Emperor.
Emperor Ling opened it and looked at it, his face suddenly showed joy, and after reading it, he pressed it in front of the dragon case, and then he looked at the ministers proudly, and said lightly: "The Marquis of Weihai is really my loyal courtier, and he knows how to share worries for the country." ”
The ministers were at a loss, not knowing what Xu Ding had done.
Emperor Ling then smiled and said: "Just a few days ago, the Marquis of Weihai sent troops to the Four Kingdoms, and he said that he would not be distracted by trivial matters, and let me wait for his good news in the capital. ”
"What? Xu Ding sent troops. ”
With a bang, the ministers were shocked.
Why did Xu Ding send troops, how could he be so fast.
This kid asked him to go to Liangzhou, but he ran all over the map to suppress bandits, and he didn't go to Liangzhou.
As a result, it was good, and not long after returning to Donglai, he led his troops across the sea to attack Shikoku.
This is the tired appearance of the soldiers, and the weak appearance of Donglai.
"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Wei Haihou, Wei Haihou started a war without His Majesty's permission and without reporting to the imperial court, which is a great rebellion, and the minister suggested that his title be removed and his post should be relieved."
"Your Majesty, the ministers seconded the proposal, the Marquis of Weihai has trapped the country in injustice, and it has made the fence feel cold!"
Suddenly, one by one, Yuan's people came out to shout and kill.
There is a great posture to extinguish the conviction of the promise.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Weihai is dedicated to the country, please investigate clearly, and now that the war has started, send reinforcements as soon as possible, and wait for the destruction of the four countries to be discussed." Huangfu Song stood up and said.
Then Lu Zhi, Fa Yan, Kong Rong, Han Shuo and others also agreed with Huangfu Song's statement, and other ministers who still had a little conscience and thought about the country also seconded it.
The war is about to start, of course, when the war is over.
As long as you have merit, everything is nonsense.
If you lose, if you lose, you will lose.
When will the Great Han reproach people for sending troops?
"The ministers are reasonable, and the matter of Weihai Hou will wait for the destruction of the four countries." The Spirit Emperor waved his hand to set the tone, and then said
"I forgot to mention it to the secretaries, Weihaihou said on the recital that the military expenses for this dispatch of troops will be borne by the Donglai side, and there is no need for money and food from the imperial treasury, as for the money and goods seized from the four countries, half of it will be handed over to the national treasury, and the other half will be used to pay for the military expenses and reward the soldiers who fought hard before the army to follow the army. ”
My Weihaihou is this good, I don't want any money I robbed, I have to use it to honor me, this is a great loyal minister, I like him too much.
