Chapter 594: The Emperor's Helplessness

594 The emperor said there to the fourth earl that if the Praetorian Guard began to send troops, even if they were not well trained, even if they could not win the war, they would send troops, and if they did not send troops, not only Hu Hao would not let them go, but even the little public opinion they had left would be lost.

When the generals heard this, they didn't want the emperor to send troops, but the emperor scolded them and asked them if they had read Hu Hao's telegram.

"Your Majesty, Hu Hao's side, it must be difficult, otherwise, he would not have sent such a telegram, it looks harsh, but it is obviously a strong inward, obviously lack of confidence, he Hu Hao, is not sure to win the coalition, so he wants to drag us into the water!" Chen Hai stood there and said to the emperor.

"That's right, this is Hu Hao's plan, obviously a plan! He Hu Hao can't win at all, so far, although the coalition army has been defeated by Hu Hao, but Hu Hao's troops are on an expedition,

Let's not talk about the people's food, that is, the logistics of the troops, for Hu Hao's troops, it is also a huge pressure, if it is necessary to maintain the operation, a huge logistics force is needed, especially the troops in the truck side!

Trains are definitely not going to work, most of the railways are sabotage, and it is impossible to use trains to send those supplies to the front line! Wu Qilin also spoke,

Wu Qilin was the commander of the Eastern Theater of Operations, and he also stood up against the emperor's dispatch of the Praetorian Guard.

"We're just watching?" The emperor looked at them and said through gritted teeth.

"What else can we do if we don't watch? The troops of the coalition army will not let Hu Hao go, Your Majesty, the coalition forces are more than 80 countries, how can they not be Hu Hao's opponents, how many troops does Hu Hao have, how can Hu Hao fight! Chen Hai said.

"What about us, can we fight?" The emperor sat there, and when he heard them speak, his heart was cold.

Hu Hao can't beat it, so who has fought it, the emperor still remembers what the first emperor said, the first emperor said that if the empire is going to die, Hu Hao's side will be the last to be defeated by the coalition army, that is to say, the royal family will be defeated before Hu Hao!

"We can let Hu Hao touch the hard bones, and then, find an opportunity to persuade him to be loyal to His Majesty, Hu Hao's command ability is still there, if Hu Hao is not loyal to us, then we must take advantage of his defeat by the coalition forces at the same time, collect Hu Hao's troops, including their officers, in this way, our empire still has some hope!" Chen Hai stood there and said to the emperor.

"A little hope?" When the emperor heard it, he felt funny in his heart, Hu Hao's side would be defeated, and the coalition forces would let them go?

When the time comes, as soon as the troops are driven to this side, it is estimated that they have not yet been fought, and those generals will not know where to retreat.

"Commanders, you are all commanders of the Empire, and you also have troops on your hands, I just want to ask you, can you really watch it?" The Fourth Earl continued to ask.

"Fourth Earl, what should I do if I can't stand it? We are saved, do we have food? Hu Hao doesn't have enough food now, he has to collect food from the people, do we have it?

Since there is none, we went to the rescue, what to feed them? Won't they starve to death at that time, and now the people in the refugee camps on our side are drinking porridge every day, and millions more refugees will be added?

Your Majesty, the Fourth Earl, millions of refugees, the food consumed every day is millions of catties, if we save more people, the daily consumption is tens of millions of catties, we don't have so much food at all! Chen Hai stood there and said to the four earls and the emperor.

When the emperor and the fourth earl heard this, they fell silent, and they also knew that it was indeed not enough food, and now the people on this side of the capital have no food, and these people in the capital have fled to the northwest before, and have been forcibly moved back here.

However, now there are many people running to Hu Hao's side, and those families are also turning a blind eye to the current situation, anyway, when they get to Hu Hao's side, it is under Hu Hao's control, and they don't have to take out food.

"Your Majesty, the fourth earl, if you can't send troops, if you send troops to save them, you will starve them to death, and we don't have any extra food at all, so we will send them to the east!" Chen Hai saw that the two of them didn't speak, and spoke again.

When the emperor and the fourth earl heard it, they could only be silent! At this time, in the area controlled by Hu Hao, after those people saw the telegram sent by Hu Hao, they were also very angry, and they were angry with the emperor and the family.

At this moment, in Ma Zhenling's house, Ma Zhenling is sitting in the house, accompanied by several grandsons.

"Grandpa, Hu Hao may be the emperor." One of the young boys said, the adults are a little more mature, Ma Zhenling has been sent to the troops, let them start from the small soldiers, and Ma Xiongwei and Ma Xiongjin are the two people at this time Hu Hao's headquarters,

The youngest son, Ma Xiongkai, is now doing a small business outside, that is, he has built a small factory to produce parts and components.

At this time, Ma Xiongkai came back from outside!

"Third uncle!"

"Daddy!" When the young men saw Ma Xiongkai coming in, they asked.

"Daddy!" Ma Xiongkai saw Ma Zhenling sitting there, and came over and shouted.

"How's business?" Ma Zhenling asked.

"I'm too busy, I'll get some money when I come back, Dad, can you lend me some gold, just 2 catties!" Ma Xiongkai asked.

"So much? 2 catties of gold, equivalent to the current 100,000 military tickets! Ma Zhenling asked.

"No way, business is too good now, I need to buy raw materials, I also need to recruit workers, Dad, you know, according to Hu Hao's new regulations, workers can only work 8 hours a day, after 8 hours, overtime pay, 1.5 times the salary, or daily settlement,

And the batch of parts I am processing now, the deposit is 50%, but the cost has to reach about 70%, my money is circulating in it, this batch of goods, it still needs half to complete! Ma Xiongkai stood there and said to Ma Zhenling.

"As long as the factory is opened, the business is good, many factories have been destroyed by the war before, and Hu Hao's tax is very low, half of what we used to be, plus the wages of workers are also much lower, about 1,000 yuan a month, more than half less than before!

My batch of orders was issued by the logistics department, as long as it is completed and the inspection is qualified, I can earn at least 200,000 yuan! It takes about a month! Ma Xiongkai said to Ma Zhenling.

"Ha, 200,000, 200,000, you are so happy now?" Ma Zhenling heard it and laughed.

"Dad, 200,000, here, it's a lot! Hey, have you read the clear code telegram sent by Hu Hao today, compared to other families, our Ma family is lucky, of course, they are not as lucky as Luo Xin and Liang Kuan!

The two of them are still generals, and their salaries must be very high, and when they don't fight in the future, they will be comfortable! Ma Xiongkai said a little sourly.

"It's not high, your eldest brother and second brother, brigadier general, that is, 5,000 yuan! General Hu Hao, 12,000, Commander 10,01! Ma Zhenling said.

"So low?" Ma Xiongkai heard it, looked at Ma Zhenling in surprise and asked.

"2000 for ordinary soldiers, second lieutenant to captain, plus 200 for one level, and 200 for those who lead soldiers!

Major to colonel, plus one level plus 300, plus 500 for leading troops! The salary of Hu Hao's troops here, that's it! Ma Zhenling looked at Ma Xiongkai and said.

"So, then they are still so hard-working? Fight with Hu Hao like this? Ma Xiongkai looked at his father very incomprehensibly and said.

"Before, his troops were not paid, and this month they started! The Dongling coins that were issued before have become waste paper! Ma Zhenling said.

"Hmm!" Ma Xiongkai nodded, then looked at his father and continued to ask, "Dad, Hu Hao's telegram today has some other meanings?" ”

"It's a matter of time before the emperor is called, Hu Hao will not listen to the emperor, even if Hu Hao listens, those generals will not let Hu Hao listen, even your eldest brother and second brother, they don't want Hu Hao to continue to listen to Your Majesty, so it is certain to be called emperor!" Ma Zhenling said.

"Huh? Why don't they agree with my brother? Ma Xiongkai heard it and asked puzzled.

"Idiot, our Ma family took refuge in Hu Hao, if Hu Hao is loyal to the emperor, then what should our Ma family do? Our Ma family thinks like this, what about the other generals, what do they think? Ma Zhenling looked at Ma Xiongkai and scolded.

"Oh, too! But, Dad, Hu Hao doesn't have food here? Can he go and save the people of the east now? How can you save without food? Ma Xiongkai asked.

"Now that you are also a person in the business field, don't you listen to the people, who told you that there is no food? Don't you know that most of the people now are just waiting for Hu Hao to come out and speak?

As long as Hu Hao speaks, those farmers will immediately take out the grain, although Zhang Debiao is the commander, but Hu Hao is the real recognized person here, you know? Ma Zhenling glared at Ma Xiongkai and said.

"The people still have food?" Ma Xiongkai asked when he heard the surprised Ma Xiongjin.

"Yes, there are many more, I told you, it's okay to go to the people more, walk more, and you will be able to hear the news here!" Ma Zhenling said.

"Master, a person outside who calls himself Liu Yuzi wants to see you, he said that he is the vice president of the Imperial Executive Yuan, and there is also the approval given to him by the general to move around." At this time, a housekeeper of the Ma family came over and said to Ma Zhenling.

"Liu Yuzi? Prince, no, the people around the emperor? Ma Xiongkai heard it, turned his head to look at his father,

And Ma Zhenling sat there, thought about it carefully, and said, "Please!" ”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at the young people and said, "You are all busy, continue to walk around the people tomorrow, don't stay at home, move around more!" ”

"Yes, Grandpa!" When the grandchildren heard this, they all nodded and said, while Ma Xiongkai found a place and sat down by himself.
