Jia Rui walked a short distance when he met Qiu Liang on patrol, so the two dismounted and chatted on the side of the road.

Looking at the refugees on both sides of the street, Qiu Liang sighed again and again.

"At the beginning, you said that the Tatars would come to the capital, but none of us believed it, but I didn't expect it to be a prophecy now."

"I don't understand, how did so many soldiers and horses make these 100,000 people drive thousands of miles into the capital of Gyeonggi."

Qiu Liang looked puzzled.

Jia Rui sighed.

"Everyone has self-respect, they just want to preserve their strength, and no one wants to come out. In such a situation, it is useless to have a million soldiers and horses. ”

"The Tatars have long seen this through, so they dare to go deep alone."

This great virtue is rotten up and down, and it is almost hopeless.

"Doesn't the emperor know this?"

Hmph, he knows there's another fart.

Not to mention anything else, just from the two things of building a provincial villa and calling the new champion to become an official in the northwest, it can be seen that he is a faint king.

At least he's a mediocre gentleman.

The construction of the provincial villa is a great achievement, and the second is to weaken the financial resources of relatives.

In fact, these two purposes are untenable.

At present, there are many border troubles, there are many gangsters, and land annexation is serious, and they do not want to solve these urgent and fundamental problems, but in the name of filial piety, they ask their relatives to build provincial villas, engage in image projects, and sell their reputations. It's just a lack of prioritization.

As for weakening the financial resources of foreign relatives, it is even more difficult to distinguish between priorities and priorities.

At present, there are basically no particularly wealthy relatives, but the royal clan has plundered a lot of wealth and occupied a lot of resources of the imperial court.

It can be said that the clan has become a tumor of great virtue, and the imperial court finances are out of breath.

Compared with the clan and some ministers, local officials, and warlords, foreign relatives are not worth mentioning in terms of financial resources and power.

The two national mansions of the Jia family are both nobles and relatives, and they have to embezzle Daiyu's silver to build a provincial villa, where is there any money?

With the current status of the Jia family, it can only be regarded as a medium-sized family. If it is about money, it may not even be as good as a salt merchant.

At this time, Sheng Long also wanted to weaken the financial resources of his relatives, in addition to letting them deviate from morality, what benefits could he get?

Sheng Long himself may think he is quite smart, but in fact, he is completely playing a bad move.

Naturally, these words cannot be said to others. This is true even for friends like Ju Liang.

"The emperor won't know it, maybe the emperor has his own considerations."

Today's events are the same version as what I told Wang Ziteng at the beginning. I don't know if Wang Ziteng reacted to my meaning.

It is a great irony that this conspiracy was revealed when Butler and Tug were arrested in the first place, and that it is still being played out according to the original script today.

"I heard Chen Yejun say that you caught two Tatars at the beginning, and the information intercepted was that the Tatars took the Mogu grassland and approached the capital."

"But then the two Tatars let go, why is that?"

It's good that Qiu Liang didn't mention it, but as soon as he mentioned it, Jia Rui was furious.

But he held back.

"Alas, it's hard to put into words. It's already a fait accompli, and it's even more important to mention it. Anyway, I did everything I had to do, and I had a clear conscience. ”

"Let the tiger return to the mountain and raise the tiger's legacy, probably a fixed number."

"Brother Rui doesn't need to sigh, we have an army of 250,000, and the Tatars may not be opponents."

"Hehe, 250,000, I don't know how many vacancies there are. Besides, how many people will be desperate? ”

"If someone fights hard, not much, only 20,000 or 30,000 of them, the Tatars will not be able to bear it, and they will definitely withdraw their troops."

"Actually? After a long drive, people suffered almost nothing. Brother Qiu, you should be ready to go out of the city in the future. ”

"Are you really going to want us to fight?"

"Just wait and see."

"Well, I want to do some preparations, too. I just went to the Ordnance Prison, and there were no weapons there, not even a single arrow. ”

Who's to blame for this? You didn't start it a long time ago, but now that you want to do it, what can you get?

The two sighed together for a while, broke up and left.

Patrol the city and the imperial history of the yamen.

Xu Daozhong was walking back and forth in the house

"I told them to prepare for battle, but now they are unprepared. If they go to war in the future, won't they all go to their deaths? I'm mad at me. ”

Participating in the discussion today, Guan Tingzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also specifically mentioned that the soldiers and horses of the five cities, the patrol battalion, and the city patrol commander must be prepared.

In the event of an unfavorable war, these reserves will have to be pushed up.

Xu Daozhong came back and asked the master, but the various soldiers and horses were not prepared. How could he not be angry?

The master was on the side, drinking tea unhurriedly.

"Don't worry, Master Guan is just in case, the situation has not reached that point. Although our combat strength is not as good as that of the Tatars, we have an army of 250,000 after all. ”

"Alas, master, what 250,000, others don't know, don't you know? At least seventy or eighty thousand vacancies, but the amount is terrifying. ”

"Now they are all cowardly, and only Wang Ziteng's Beijing camp has gone up. But how many people are there? It's just 10,000 people, so what's the use? ”

"I think Master Guan also understands, so he told us to prepare for war. I'm afraid I'm really going to fight. ”

"Even if you go to war, you will only send some people to go, and some people will be left in the city to maintain order."

"Other people didn't prepare, but Jia Rui still made some preparations."

"Oh? What did he prepare? ”

"Zheng Tianlun got back a lot of bows and arrows, as well as some big axes."

"These days, the king's officials are still training with people. They also specially invited a eunuch from the Forbidden Garden to teach them, I think ....... ”

"Wait, a eunuch from the Forbidden Garden? What did the eunuchs teach them? ”

I won't teach them to go into battle, and then they all run away from the battle.

"Teach them the sounds of all kinds of beasts."

"What are you doing here? Are they going up to the mountains to hunt? ”

"I also asked the king, and he said that it was Jia Rui who told them to do so. They didn't know what Jary was trying to do. However, I think this is a bit of a nonsense. ”

"With this kind of work, it's better to practice some slashing and stabbing skills, and you can use it in battle."

"Jia Rui does things, every time he surprises, take one step and look at three steps, he must have some deep meaning when he does this. He is steady and will not be foolish. ”

"Why don't you take a look?"

"No, I don't even know about the king, and Jia Rui won't tell us. In this way, in the future, the battle will fall on Jia Rui. ”

"Since you are in battle, you don't have any combat achievements, and don't be too ashamed. I'm afraid that other people really can't count on it, if there is a day, let Dongcheng go. ”

"Jia Rui is indeed a talent, and he has contributed a lot to our status today. If there are three long and two short, the adult will lose one of the cadres. ”

"Well, let's get past the current hurdle first."

If you really want to fight, maybe only Jia Rui can save face for the soldiers. As for the others, don't mention it.
