Inside the main hall, Duan Lang looked at these brothers who shared life and death. Now that the Waikou have been defeated, the Great Xia Dynasty has become a thing of the past. It is said that these generals should be able to relax. However, Duan Lang knew that if he was comfortable and slack, it wouldn't take a few years for Lu Mu to make a comeback. The war knife in his hand is easy to put down, and I am afraid that when he mentions it again, he will no longer be as brave as he used to be.

Duan Lang sat on the first seat, and Tai Mingyue and Zhang Ruming and Li Jianshan sat on both sides. Duan Lang looked at everyone gently and said, "Generals, how about it, their respective territories are all fine?" Zhou Long, how is the progress of the training camp in Lidu City? ”

Zhou Long clenched his fists and said, "Back to Your Majesty~!" ”

As soon as Zhou Long spoke, Duan Lang raised his hand to stop him, "Zhou Long, today we are a military matter, let's call Duan Shuai." ”

Zhou Long smiled and changed his words, "Duan Shuai, the current treasury is in short supply, and the last general has only slightly transformed the original camp and the desert secret camp, and he can still train the warriors of my Great Calendar Country." However, at present, the supply of troops is insufficient, and after the war, the capitals are being reorganized, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to recruit troops. In addition, the military salary, food and grass were insufficient, and the last general had no money in his hands and did not dare to recruit troops. ”

The commanders of the other battalions nodded one after another, although Duan Lang divided the four battalions, the source of soldiers and salaries restricted them. It can be said that Duan Lang distributed the only 100,000 troops in various camps, not to mention that Landu City and Xining City had to send troops to garrison them. Some of the large battalions are not even a quarter of them.

Duan Lang's eyes looked at Li Jianshan, Li Jianshan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Don't look at me, I can't take out a tael of silver in my hand." ”

Zhang Ruming also said depressedly, "Lao Tzu's Heavenly Master Palace, the household department has not allocated any money until now." If it weren't for Lao Tzu's fate everywhere along the way from Yushan Pass, there might be how many people ran to me to ask for debts. ”

Yutai Mingyue frowned slightly, "Brother Jianshan, isn't the secret silver of the Great Xia royal family enough to support the expenses of the court?" ”

Li Jianshan sighed helplessly, "There are indeed a lot of silver taels, but there are too many people who open their mouths to eat." The reconstruction of these war-torn cities alone has eaten up more than half of the silver taels. There is no way to do it, we must at least give those victims a place to live before the winter begins. My Majesty, it's not that I, Li Jianshan, don't want to allocate silver taels to the major battalions, but hundreds of thousands or even millions of victims of the war in the Great Calendar Kingdom need to be settled, and I, the prime minister, have to settle them. But don't worry, hold on for another half a year or even a year, and wait for the capitals to slow down a little, and you will definitely make up for what you owe. ”

Duan Lang also knew Li Jianshan's dilemma, in the past, he, the great housekeeper, only needed to ensure the supply of the army of Lidu City and the construction of Lidu City. Now, he has to consider the stability and development of the entire country. Especially in a transportation center like Huining City, the city of the Blue Lake must be rebuilt as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will not only hinder trade, but also leave the displaced people in the surrounding area with nowhere to stay.

Zhang Ruming looked at Duan Lang and asked strangely, "Duan Lang, you don't want to expand your forces now, do you?" If you want me to say, if you really can't do it, you should hold off for a while, and wait for two or three years to recover. To be honest, it is not easy to build a mountain, and there are places everywhere that reach out for money, and he is really embarrassed. ”

Although Zhang Ruming returned with Duan Lang all the way from Yushan Pass, Duan Lang and Tangtai Mingyue did not inform him about the plan to send troops to the Moro Kingdom. In this military affairs meeting, Duan Lang also wanted to hear everyone's opinions. If it is really difficult, this plan can only be postponed for the time being.

"Lao Zhang, it's not that I want to expand my troops, it's just that the situation is compelling, as the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the Great Calendar Kingdom, I have to think about the future war in advance."

When Duan Lang said this, all the generals were a little puzzled. The Great War has just ended, so why should we think about future wars? Even if it's a long-term view, it's too long-term.

Li Jianshan listened to the movement in his heart and asked, "What, there is unfavorable news?" ”

Duan Lang nodded, looked at Mingyue and said, "This trip to Beiming, it's better for you to tell everyone about it." ”

Tantai Mingyue snorted, and looked around at everyone, "Brother Jianshan, generals, this time I am close to Duan Shuai Beiming Province, although the results are quite fruitful, but I also find that the situation in the world is not optimistic. Everyone now knows that Beiming was taken over by my eldest brother Mo Li, but you don't know that my father did not die in the middle, but was hacked. Everyone is very familiar with this mastermind behind the scenes, and he is also our old opponent, Lu Mu, the governor of the West Vietnamese soldiers and horses. ”

"Lu Mu?"

"Emperor Beiming can also be hacked?"

The generals talked strangely one by one, and Li Jianshan was also quite surprised. Zhang Ruming scratched his head in confusion, Duan Lang didn't mention this matter to him along the way. Zhang Ruming thought that things were in a hurry, and he became the emperor of the Northern Ming Dynasty.

Yutai Mingyue paused slightly, and then said, "Actually, Lu Mu's tentacles have reached Beiming, but the real purpose is for our Great Calendar Kingdom. Because Lu Mu doesn't want my Dali Kingdom to get any help from Beiming. It is even more beneficial for him to turn against each other. Generals, although we defeated the Western Vietnamese Peaceful Coalition Army and established the Great Calendar Kingdom, the situation in the world is not optimistic. Lu Mu's heart is not dead, and I believe that he is also accumulating energy as soon as possible. In addition, it is not simple for Nanping to guard the mountain, and General Cui Zhiliang should have learned his shrewdness. ”

Speaking of this, Cui Zhiliang nodded guiltily, no one expected Ying Shoushan to run so fast, and before Cui Zhiliang arrived in Xining City, he had already left the customs early. Although Duan Lang disagrees with this matter, Ying Shoushan can shrewdly smell the crisis, which is enough to show that this person is not simple.

Tantai Mingyue continued, "On the surface, our Great Calendar Kingdom is as powerful as a rainbow, but in fact, we know in our hearts that whether it is military strength or financial and material resources, we are extremely weak. This army division is afraid that when we recover, it will be too late. ”

The words of Mingyue immediately attracted everyone's attention. These iron-blooded generals know Lu Mu's cunning and viciousness very well, and they can still meddle in the affairs of Beiming after the defeat, which shows that this person is scheming and has a very long-term vision.

Li Jianshan frowned, looked at Duan Lang and said, "Duan Shuai, do you have any new ideas?" ”

Duan Lang nodded, "It's still Brother Jianshan who understands me." ”

Duan Lang said, looking at everyone, "Everyone, although we have established the Great Calendar Kingdom, in my Duan Lang's heart, it is still the same as before, there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers. We are all brothers, brothers in life and death who survived the war. So if there is anything, I will not hide it from you, but I would like to hear your opinions. ”

Zhang Ruming couldn't wait to urge, "If you have anything to say, just say it, why are you talking this nonsense." Say, is there another war? If you really go to Xiyue to overthrow Lu Muna, I will be the first to support you. ”

Duan Lang glared at Zhang Ruming with a wry smile, and said in his heart that even if there is a war, it is none of your business, why are you doing this.

Duan Lang looked at Li Jianshan and said, "Yes, I want to launch a campaign. But this war was not to attack Western Vietnam, but to Moro. ”

"What, Moro?" Li Jianshan looked at Duan Lang in surprise.

The generals in the main hall also felt incredible. The kingdom of Moro and the kingdom of the Great Calendar do not have a border, and it is said that no one can hit the head of the kingdom of Moro. What's more, running from afar, whether it is manpower or material resources, has to pay an exponential price.

Zhang Ruming opened his mouth wide, and suddenly screamed, "I understand, yes, Duan Lang is right, it should be beaten, and the Moro Kingdom should indeed be beaten." ”

Duan Lang and Tantai Mingyue looked at Zhang Ruming in surprise, they didn't expect that he would be the first to see through such a cumbersome pattern.

Duan Lang was just about to explain to everyone, when he heard Zhang Ruming say, "Everyone, you don't know anything. Back then, the prince of the Moro Kingdom, Wu Batu, that kid almost married our military advisor. If it weren't for the guy who Lao Tzu shot with a blue brick and was almost finished, there would be no army division in our capital city. As the saying goes, the hatred of killing one's father and taking one's wife, now that Mingyue is the emperor of our calendar, this debt must be paid back. Fight the Moro country, this heavenly master fully supports! ”

Duan Lang was almost choked up, what kind of mess was in his brain.

"Hey, don't listen to this fat man. Brothers, that's not the case. Duan Lang hurriedly explained in detail to everyone.

Tangtai Mingyue glanced at Zhang Ruming angrily, and said with the finishing touch, "In the world pattern, only Beiming can really stand with us." However, Beiming was restrained by the Moro Kingdom, and he had his heart but no power. It is better to take advantage of the lack of troops after the West Vietnam War to not dare to support, and cut off their arms first. Otherwise, once Xiyue recovers, it will lose the opportunity to take Morocco again. ”

After the two of them explained, Duan Lang looked at everyone and continued, "How about it, let's talk about what you think." ”

The generals looked at each other, and Cui Zhiliang took the lead in asking, "Duan Shuai, if we attack the Moro Kingdom, our army will gather at least 100,000 troops." Judging from the current number of soldiers and horses, after sending troops, our country will be empty. ”

Shantai Mingyue said, "If you send troops, Xining Zhenlingguan and Landu City must each garrison 20,000 troops. With the current situation in Nanping and West Vietnam, they can no longer organize large-scale troop dispatches. 20,000 troops only defended but not attacked, enough to block the opponent's 100,000 soldiers and horses. Of course, this is only the worst-case scenario. ”

Duan Lang followed up and said, "There is another advantage to attacking the Moro Kingdom, that is, in the future, you can avoid the Two Realms Mountain Tianxuan, and you can directly penetrate from Moro to the rear of Xiyue. ”

Zhou Wuyi raised his hand, "The last general agrees." In fact, when sending troops from afar, the soldiers are not many but fine, and the last general feels that 50,000 troops are enough. ”

Zhou Long also said, "I agree too!" ”

Zhang Qifeng hesitated for a moment and said, "Duan Shuai, as the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and with our current grain and grass, it may be difficult to supply them from afar." ”

Zhou Long said disdainfully, "Qifeng, you guy is really being given a comfortable life." Don't forget that our soldiers and horses in the capital city have always been hunting in the mountains and fishing in the water, and Lao Tzu's 30,000 soldiers and horses did not need logistics supplies for two months, didn't they come over the same way. ”

Tangtai Mingyue said, "General Zhang, although rest assured, after the soldiers and horses enter Beiming, all logistics supplies will be borne by Beiming. ”

"Look, Master Strategist has been thinking about you for a long time." Zhou Long said.

Duan Lang looked at Li Jianshan, who had been silent, "Brother Jianshan, what do you mean?" ”

Li Jianshan sat on the special wheelchair, thought for a while and asked, "Duan Shuai, I have three things to ask before I can answer." First, in a month or two we will enter the cold winter, and you can think that attacking Moro in the cold winter will be very disadvantageous to our army. Second, for long-distance attacks, even if Beiming can provide logistical supplies, the equipment in the army and the ratio of various arms must be complete, and chariots, heavy armor and even firearms must be equipped. How much do you need? Thirdly, who will be in charge? ”

Li Jianshan threw out three questions, but did not mention military pay and pensions. You must know that these two expenses are the largest together in the war. No military salary can't boost the morale of the army, and no one wants to work hard for you if the pension is low. Now it is the soldiers and horses of the Great Calendar Kingdom, and it is no longer the Duan family army that could only fight to the end in order to survive. In particular, the soldiers at the bottom felt that after the end of the war, they could enjoy a long quiet time. Taking the initiative to start a war at this time can be different from the mood of Molan City to fight against foreign invaders at the beginning.

Duan Lang looked at Li Jianshan, and then at everyone, "Actually, even if everyone agrees, we can't send troops right away at the moment." I have already discussed this matter with the monarch of the Northern Ming Kingdom, and as long as you agree, the time is set for after the autumn harvest next year. It's been nearly a year, and we can ease it down somewhat. As for who will be the manager, we will discuss it when the time comes. How about it, do you, the Lord Xiangguo, who is in charge of the affairs of the world, support this proposal? ”

Li Jianshan looked at Duan Lang, then looked at everyone's expectant eyes, and said loudly, "Everyone, I, Li Jianshan, support this plan very much. ”

Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue were stunned for a moment, they thought that Li Jianshan would stand in the perspective of cost, and at least refute it. Unexpectedly, Li Jianshan agreed so simply.

Li Jianshan continued, "Duan Shuai and Mingyue Military Division are right, then Lu Mu's heart will not die, and the soldiers and horses of West Vietnam will make a comeback sooner or later." Although they were defeated, it was a war that was waged on the territory of our Great Calendar Kingdom. Therefore, West Vietnam and Nam Binh were not affected domestically. In terms of food production and livelihoods, they are far better than us. The advantage of our country is that it has a large population, but it is also a huge food burden. After the Western Vietnam Peace is fully prepared, I am afraid that the scene of the military attack in Great Xia will be repeated. At that time, even if the West Vietnamese Alliance is defeated, it will still be us who will suffer huge losses. Cycle after cycle, what Nanping and Xiyue want is a balance of the world pattern, and they will never allow our country to develop and grow. ”

Tantai Mingyue said in surprise, "Brother Jianshan is so far-sighted, he deserves to be the pillar of my country." ”

Li Jianshan smiled bitterly, "Don't praise me, agree to agree, but in this way, everyone has to tighten their bellies and live." At present, the treasury is empty, and I am afraid that when the time comes, more support from Beiming will be needed. ”

Duan Lang said happily, "No problem, this matter is beneficial to my Great Calendar Country, and it is even more important for Beiming once and for all." I believe that Brother Morley will not be stingy in this regard. ”

"Duan Lang, don't be too happy, it's still the same sentence, the silver in my hand is limited, even if I squeeze it hard, I can't give the military department much silver taels. Therefore, this year's preparations, whether it is training troops or purchasing equipment, don't attack my idea as soon as possible. ”

"This~? Brother Jianshan, this is not good, without silver taels, I can't let the soldiers train hungry. ”

"I don't care, you can find a way to go by yourself. I can supply enough food, but I will allocate you at most 70,000 soldiers and horses for the monthly payment, and I really can't do anything else. If you don't know the price of firewood and rice, you will personally take charge of government affairs. ”

This time, it really stumped Duan Lang. Now is not the past, you can rely on the mountains to hunt and rely on the water to fish. The dignified regular soldiers and horses of the Great Calendar Country can't even fail to pay their salaries.

After discussing politics, although the overall situation was set in the right direction, the issue of silver and silver made Duan Lang's heart feel heavy. Although Xiyue and Nanping were defeated, they did not surrender, so there was no reparation for one or two wars. Duan Lang guarded a huge country, but he couldn't be self-sufficient empty-handed. It takes a while to start from scratch, but Duan Lang can't wait, let alone let the generals in the army follow him to fight for the country.

After the discussion, Duan Lang returned to the palace depressed. He knew that Li Jianshan was not embarrassed by him, and the court really couldn't get these military salaries. Being able to ensure the food, drink, and clothing of hundreds of thousands of troops is already a huge expense.

Just when Duan Lang and Mingyue were discussing whether to go to Beiming to borrow money, Zhang Ruming ran in upside down.

"Duan Lang, are you kid worried about silver two?" Zhang Ruming said with a smile.

Duan Lang glanced at him, "Why, make me happy." The whole court is your idle boredom, if you have the ability, you can pray to the old people in the sky to help me get some silver. If you can do it, I'll kowtow to you. ”

Zhang Ruming smiled, "This is what you said, don't return." ”

"Go, go, I don't have time to deal with you now, hurry up and find your Wu Guangguang, you two will have a fight." Duan Lang said boredly.

Yutai Mingyue was stunned, "Brother Zhang, can you really get silver taels?" ”

"Cowardly, it's not to blow with you, this heavenly master is out of the horse, and his hands are ready to be captured. Of course, I can get silver taels, but I have one condition. ”

"Yue'er, don't listen to his nonsense, his Heavenly Master Hall still owes silver."

Tantai Mingyue asked with interest, "Brother Zhang, what conditions do you say?" ”

Zhang Ruming looked at Duan Lang and Mingyue, and stretched out his head, "I said, when the time comes, your kid will definitely be in charge in person, and Li Jianshan can't hide this matter from me." As long as you promise to take me with you, the problem of the silver taels, this heavenly master guarantees in the name of the gods, and will definitely do it for you. ”

Duan Lang looked at Zhang Ruming strangely, and found that this guy didn't seem to be joking, "Can you really do it?" ”

"You say that you should take me first, if you don't bring Lao Tzu, you can't think of a tael of silver." Zhang Ruming's waist was straight, and he looked full of confidence.

Duan Lang nodded, "If you can really solve this big problem for me, in the battle of the Moro Kingdom, I can let you be in charge." ”

"Good! As an emperor, if you spit and smash a pit, whoever regrets it is the grandson. No, you have to make a note for me first, which says that this Heavenly Master is in charge. Don't worry, if you can't get the silver, you can tear down Lao Tzu's Heavenly Master Palace. ”

Duan Lang and Tantai Mingyue glanced at each other in surprise, although they didn't believe it, but looking at Zhang Ruming's serious appearance, Duan Lang and Mingyue also looked at each other. Could it be that Zhang Ruming still hides a huge treasure? ()
