Chai Xinyuan just sat down, his eyes swept over the elders and ministers, and he hadn't eased up yet.

I saw Chai Qi ignoring Chai Mingyuan's pull behind him, and flew to the front of the official family, grabbed Chai Mingyuan's beard, and said with red eyes: "Daddy official family, official father, are you old?" When Daddy came, he didn't let me mess with you, saying that the official Daddy was sick, but I haven't seen the Official's Daddy for a long time, how did your beard turn yellow, and it was much less than before! It's been a long time, why don't you look for me to enter the palace and pretend to trade with all countries? I wanted to see the elephants salute and dance, but just now the elephant husband said that the elephants that Annan paid tribute to in the past years are old and almost can't stand up. The official father sent a message, let a little elephant in Annan Gong come! The little golden monkey given to me by the official father the year before last also disappeared on the way here, and they didn't let me find it. ”

Chai Xinyuan's face was full of love, protecting his beard, and he just said there: "Qi'er, if you let you pull the beard of the official father like this, there will be even more, how will you see the ministers in the future?" ”

Chai Xinyuan's heart is not as calm as it seems, the royal family has always had no family affection to talk about, and he doesn't know if it is a blessing or a curse to push such a person whose heart is as clear as spring water. But if you don't do this, the throne will be given to another branch, as Chai Qi, who is closest to your bloodline, then there will be no good result. "Hey! I can only try to pave the way for him, as for the result, it depends on fate! ”

Wang Chun stepped forward to persuade Chai Qi to lead him to sit next to Gan Tang, and Gan Tang whispered to him: "Sit quietly next to me, wait a few days, I will send someone to bring you not only elephants and golden monkeys, but also giant pandas." ”

Fortunately, Chai Xinyuan quickly changed the topic and asked about Xia Yan.

The southern invasion of Yan has ended for a few years, and the crisis of Great Xia in Jiangbei has been alleviated, but according to the news from the north, Helian Muye has ended in the infighting with Helian in the mountains, and the Yan people will end the infighting, maybe after a period of lurking, they may come back at any time, when the robbers have become a habit by robbing, and if they don't rob, they can't live.

Therefore, whether it is war or peace, the preparation of food, wages and armaments must never stop.

Chai Xinyuan knew the thoughts of the ministers, and he was unable to deal with it, so he asked Yu Jie expectantly, if he used his national strength and waved his army to the north, could he base himself on the enemy and the north of the Yellow River?

Although Yu Jie has been fighting horses all his life and has made countless achievements, it is the first time to participate in such a high-level monarch response, he really wants to say a bold word, but after thinking about it, he sighed and said: "Although Yan Guo suffered heavy losses in Xiangfan and Zhennan City, but most of the losses were the Han army of Yan State, according to the minister's understanding, even its civil war is often led by the Han army, and its main force Yan State Iron Cavalry is still there, and it may be difficult to deal with the Gan army, but casually pull out tens of thousands of horsemen to deal with other soldiers and horses in Great Xia, which is more than enough." ”

He finally said sincerely: "Back to the official family, in the opinion of Weichen, at the moment I am in Daxia, occupy the first line of Shandong and Henan, the grain road is too long, and thieves are rampant north of Jianghuai, with the nature of Dazi, when its internal stability is settled, they will send troops and horses to harass, and the defense north of Qingzhou and Nanyang will be ------ supply of grain and grass."

He gritted his teeth and said: "It's best to return the defense line to Huaisi and Xiangfan to support each other, so that the minister will hold me in the second city." ”

Speaking of this, his heart trembled, he knew that his words would be left on the history books Danqing, the Gan family's military life in exchange for a large piece of territory, just a few words of his own just give up, in the future will be turned out to taste, he will not become a minister who abandons the land and abandons the city, and gives the fruits of victory, this crime is sometimes fatal. For a while, the torment in his heart and the interests of Great Xia continued to eat at him.

But think about how many of my relatives and friends have fallen under the iron hooves of the Yan people, and I have a common enmity with Dazi. For the people of Jiangnan, for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, the only way to tell the truth, in order to protect the grace of the saints, in the future, the impeachment and liquidation of the imperial history, the infamy left in the history books, what about themselves

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

You will care about the false names.

Emperor Suzong nodded with satisfaction, Yu Jie deserved to be a brave old minister of Great Xia, regardless of personal gains and losses. He knew that if Yu Jie said such a thing, maybe he would be turned out by those who were selling his reputation and reputation, and it was a magic weapon to decorate his reputation. Moreover, Great Xia advanced thousands of miles to the north, and the national strength did not have the strength to be determined by the first war, and it could not be defended.

Fortunately, it will still take time for Yan Guo Dazi to dispatch, and there will be a buffer for a while.

Song Ci coughed lightly, and cast an approving glance at Yu Jie, saying such a thing requires great courage, and he sighed: "During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin army was meritorious to Zhao, and the veteran Lian Po retreated for hundreds of miles, and defended according to the danger, so that the Qin army could not enter again. Later, King Zhao was anxious to retreat from Qin, and replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuang as a general. Zhao Kuo was radical and took the initiative to attack the Qin army, so that 400,000 Zhao troops were buried alive in vain. As a result, the Zhao State became weak from strong to weak, and finally perished. How similar it was then. Lord Yu, this is the words of the old minister to seek the country. ”

Emperor Suzong nodded slowly: "Today is not a court meeting, you are all Great Xia Zhushi, Lord Yu can say such things regardless of personal gains and losses, this is the minister of the loyal monarch and the country." He turned back to the historian sitting behind him and said, "In a few days, the state affairs discussed by our monarchs and ministers shall no longer be recorded, so you all should step down." ”

Waiting for the living house to withdraw from the main hall, Chen Yizhong asked Yu Jie: "As far as General Yu is concerned, why can the soldiers and horses commanded by King Yu defeat the Yan army, while the other Great Xia armies are vulnerable in front of the Yan people?" Is it King Yu's personal bravery? The battle of hundreds of thousands of troops is not a private fight between people in the rivers and lakes, and individual bravery does not play a big role. If you can master King Yu's training methods, train hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers for my Great Xia, and then select good generals to lead, a few years later, will this be the case? ”

Talking about this matter, everyone in the field had their eyes lit up, indeed, the formation and training of the new army is now very important to everyone, but who controls the new army, and how the money comes out is the focus of everyone's concern, especially a person like Yu Jie, if the imperial court can supply it, it is the best.

Jia Ru stood up, he had been silent for a long time, and he knew it was time to stand up and show his worth.

He said: "What the two adults Yu and Chen said is very true, if you can train hundreds of thousands of tigers like the Gan family's army, Jiankang can be strengthened in defense. In Sichuan, Jing Xiang can be commanded by General Yu Jie and General Lu Dazhong, and the two armies are connected into a line, and the west of Xiangfan is solid, and it will be very difficult for the Yan army to break through the border in the past. The rest of the new army can be transferred, and General Fan Zhu will extend the Huaisi to the East China Sea Road and advance the main merit, giving full play to the advantages of our Great Xia Naval Army and the Yan State Naval Army, so that the two will defend one attack and restore the inherent territory of Great Xia is just around the corner. ”

Emperor Suzong nodded vigorously, Jia Ru's words, he said that he was full of joy, if this is the case, whether it is himself or Qi'er, it can be passed down through the ages, and it is worthy of the ancestors.

Just when Jia Ru was dancing, suddenly Chong'an Wang Chai and Rui interjected in a sympathetic manner: "Although Jia Xiang's wishes are good, it's just that where is the salary for military training?" I heard that the soldiers trained by Gan Tang are three or four times the cost of the ordinary Great Xia Forbidden Army, the Gan family has three candidates, a total of seventeen people above the rank of earl and viscount, and the fifteen financial resources of the Gan family have just trained five thousand elite soldiers, with the financial resources of the imperial court, hundreds of thousands? It's impossible to get tens of thousands! ”

Jia Ru was immediately speechless, but he reacted extremely quickly and said with a smile: "That's the matter of Zheng Shangshu of the household department." "Zheng Ming, the head of the household department, is the son and daughter of Chai and Rui.

Emperor Suzong immediately looked at Shi Chongdao with expectant eyes: "Although Aiqin is not a secretary of the household department, is he in charge of the ministry and the household department among the ministers?" Shi Aiqin said. ”

Under the expectant gaze of the emperor, Shi Zhong slowly stood up, his appearance was elegant, and his demeanor had the unique demeanor of Jiangnan scholars.

He saluted and said: "Back to the official's house, although the current treasury is not as tight as in previous years, it can just achieve a slight surplus

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

This surplus mostly covered the shortfall of the war in previous years. The minister thought that it was unrealistic to find a way to come up with a large amount of money and grain from the state treasury, and that it would be more realistic to dismantle and dismantle the forbidden army to make up for the shortage of food and straw for the new army. ”

At this time, Zhao Chong smiled and said: "Otherwise, you can increase taxes, although the southwest roads are poor, but the lands in the south of the Yangtze River are still rich, and the ministers think that the main force of collection can be placed in the south of the Yangtze River." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Shi Chong's expression changed, but also Zuo Prime Minister Jia Ru and Chen Yizhong were all discolored, and these damn people from the south had their ideas to the south of the Yangtze River again.

Jia Ru, Song Ci, Shi Chong, Lu Daozhi, and Chen Yizhong are all people from Jiangnan, and if the imperial court increases taxes and fees to Jiangnan in order to organize and train a new army in the future, these cabinet elders will lose the support of the local government, and I am afraid that some people's official positions will be achieved.

Gan Tang watched the battle of these old foxes coldly. The relationship here is really complicated, originally a general affair, Jia Ru, Shi Chong, and Zhao Chong. Wang Mingzhi, Chai and Rui faction. Chai Mingyuan, Song Ci, Lu Daozhi, and Chen Yizhong are another faction. And he and Yu Jie represent the meritorious generals. In the imperial court, it is the weakest, and no one has entered the cabinet, but it has the strongest potential in the entire officialdom. On such an occasion dominated by the cabinet, he and Yu Jiedao have no right to speak.

On the question of whether to go on the Northern Expedition, Chai and Rui faction and Jia Ru can unite to suppress Wang Mingzhi. But when it comes to the issue of local interests, Chai Mingyuan and Chai Yourui, Zhao Chong, Wang Mingzhi and other officials from rich places in the south of the Yangtze River stand together and fight to the death with local officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

It's a chicken feather.

Chai Xinyuan helplessly watched the cabinet members fight a war of words, or a word of opinion, or attack each other, only one thing is the same, they can't come up with a key effective plan, and he feels exhausted.

Yu Jie was also disappointed, these literati scolded and scolded, fighting back and forth. It's just that he can't get money and food, so is it possible to train the new army, and the soldiers at the front have to find their own ways like the Gan family?

Gan Tang also sighed, Daxia is already a dead end, big officials and businessmen, big officials, noble generals, etc., occupy up to eighty or ninety percent of the resources of the society, they don't want to contribute, relying on those ordinary people, can they save the decline?

At this time, Wang Mingzhi stood up and said: "Official, in fact, it is better to open source, and in this situation, you can also use throttling to solve the problem." ”

Chai Xinyuan said: "Oh, Wang's family, what do you say about this throttle." ”

He said respectfully: "Go back to the official's house, save money, and the minister has a number of strategies: the story, there are millions of people in Jiankang and the forbidden army in various places, but there will be no more than half of the actual compilation, but every year the imperial court will pay grain according to the military register." And the soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River are weak, and they are often vulnerable to a battle when they really face the powerful Yan State Iron Cavalry. It is better to dismantle the million-strong forbidden army year by year, and select those who dare to fight from the refugees in Jiangbei to form a new army, and the new army can be obtained by 200,000 or 300,000. ”

The military equipment of Southern Xia was relaxed, and the only Ganjia army that could take out its hand was exhausted, and the army of the past that Jiangbei also said was also exhausted, and the rise of the Yan State lasted for many years, and Chai Xinyuan naturally knew that he had to rectify the military equipment. It is the right choice to use Xiangfan and Zhennancheng to see the battle, and to use the Ganjia army as a template to reorganize the forbidden army, but now that Nanxia has nothing to do, it will be troublesome as soon as it is related to the party struggle. If you don't balance all aspects, the other party will have to pull back on everything, and in the end nothing can be done.

There is also this million forbidden army, in fact, Chai Xinyuan also knows that it is rotten to the bones, it is said to be million, can the real number be 100,000? I am afraid of difficulties, how many generals and wealthy families are involved here, and it is not the business of any one or a few families that eat empty salaries, but I am afraid that seventy or eighty percent of the officials in the entire court are involved. If this volcano is to be moved, with Wang Mingzhi's little power, there will not even be any slag left that will be burned by then.

Think of a foolproof solution, before you close your eyes. Try to uproot this behemoth attached to Da Xia's body to suck blood, and leave the inheritor with the best possible situation.
