Chapter 499: Internal Worries (2) Weapons Supply Cut

But there are always two sides to everything!

In recent times, after successively experiencing the counterinsurgency battles of the Miao people uprising and the White Lotus uprising, the combat effectiveness of the Qing soldiers has also been invisibly improved. www.biquge.info Those cowardly, weak and incompetent soldiers have also been gradually eliminated in the previous battles.

Those who survived were only a few elites.

The clamping on the Ming Dynasty is even greater.

And the wisdom of the ancients was not as low as imagined. The predicament of Jingxi in the Miao uprising proves that there are still people with lofty ideals in the Qing army. Although Fu Chang'an was dead, He Lin was too ill to command the war. But there are so many generals in the Qing army, and they can always find a suitable place to replace He Lin.

Therefore, after considering all kinds of things, the food plan is not as easy as imagined.

Just when Nanfeng was frowning at this, Defense Minister Liu Weiguo suddenly rushed to Thang Long City. Without informing him, he went straight to the room where the meeting was taking place.

Under the shocked gaze of the audience, he bowed his head and whispered in Nanfeng's ear.

Obviously, this is not very good news. Nanfeng's expression froze instantly. There was still a bit of shock in his eyes.

This made the officials present secretly speculate.

Seeing that everyone was in a mess, Liao Qing replaced Nan Feng and announced the suspension of the meeting. After everyone left, only Nan Feng, Liu Weiguo, Zhang Xiao, Liao Qing and Xia Bing, the foreign affairs director who had been following Nan Feng, were left in the room.

Seeing that Nanfeng's face was ugly, Zhang Xiao's mood also deteriorated. After all, he is the toughest hawk and one of the most fanatical warmongers. After the end of the final war in Nanyang, he was so idle that he was going crazy.

Before, you could still find British stubble in the Indian Ocean! Later, after the signing of the peace agreement, the Nanyang Fleet completely became a gatekeeper.

made him rely on the governor's mansion in Nanfeng every day, clamoring to attack the Manchu Dynasty. At the worst of all, it will destroy the little Japan that stands in the way of the east.

For these suggestions, Nanfeng naturally ignored them.

It's just that Zhang Xiao doesn't give up! After Nanfeng came to Jiaozhi to deal with the affairs of the homeless people, he also came cheekily. As for the fleet under his command, he just threw it away. Externally, it is called a beautiful name to protect the personal safety of Nanfeng.

Anyway, there is no war at the moment, and Nanfeng is also up to him. Moreover, the transfer of displaced people also requires the cooperation of the navy.

So Zhang Xiao appeared at this meeting.

When he heard that there was a fight, Zhang Xiao couldn't have been happier. Now seeing that Nanfeng's face is not good, he is also worried that the situation has changed.

So when he saw Xia Bing, who was sitting opposite with an indifferent face, he instinctively frowned, and asked in a bad tone, "Hey!" I say! Everyone else is gone, why are you still relying on this woman? ”。

As Zhang Xiao, who has a serious macho tendency, he is not used to seeing women participating in politics. Because in his opinion, as long as a woman takes care of her children at home, it is enough for her husband to teach her children. In politics, as long as men are involved.

Coupled with Xia Bing, she is not outstanding. Every time he faces others, he also puts on a poker face like Nanfeng.

This made Zhang Xiao, who felt that his manhood was majestic, was challenged. The attitude towards it has never been better.

At the earliest cabinet meeting, Zhang Xiao had a very serious view of women's participation in politics.

Later, it was spread that Zhang Xiao became a public enemy of women and women in the eyes of those women who crossed over. Therefore, Xia Bing also has strong negative thoughts about Zhang Xiao.

He sneered angrily: "Hehe, you are the director, and I am also the director." How can you stay, and I can't? ”。

In terms of official positions, the two are indeed comparable. Therefore, Xia Bing's words are indeed right.

Zhang Xiao listened, and scolded in a bad tone: "Sharp teeth and sharp mouth!" ”。

It's just that just when his face was getting blue, the corners of his mouth suddenly curved, and he said with a little smugness: "I think Director Xia forgot!" In addition to the title of Director, I also have the title of Honorary Minister. ”。 As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows, implying that his status was higher than Xia Bing's.

Hearing this, Xia Bing was also speechless for a while. I snorted heavily, and it took a long time before I thought of how to refute it.

But at this moment, there was a sudden crisp bang in my ears.

But it was the teacup in Nanfeng's hand, which shattered under his gravity squeezing.

I watched as the red blood mixed with the tea dripped to the ground. Xia Bing took back the words that were about to be exported. Zhang Xiao couldn't argue with Xia Bing anymore, his face was solemn, and he was silent.

Liao Qing was a little surprised!

Because it was the first time he had seen Nan Feng so angry in his relationship with Nan Feng. In particular, the face of the playing card has become a rare iron blue.

To be honest, if he had a choice, he would still prefer to see the poker face.

After all, the current South Peak is too terrifying!

It was also Nanfeng who was too angry and confiscated the momentum of the martial artist. So everyone present had a creepy feeling. That is man's most instinctive instinct for danger.

Zhang Xiao didn't want Nanfeng to expose their secrets, so he coughed deliberately.

Only then did Nan Feng recover from his rage, and the momentum he exuded quickly retracted. That creepy feeling disappeared in an instant.

There was silence for about two seconds before Nan Feng spoke up: "Minister Liu, tell them about the news you got." ”。

Originally, they used to call their names directly. Now that he is commensurate with his official position, it is obviously to get down to business. Liao Qing and the others also pricked up their ears to listen to the news that Liu Weiguo had to say.

Just listen: "A day ago, the Logistics Department refused to provide firearms and ammunition to the Ministry of Defense on the grounds of insufficient productivity. ”。

"What?" , Zhang Xiao thought he had heard it wrong, and said in surprise. But seeing Liu Weiguo's solemn expression, he knew that this matter was true. It's no wonder that Nanfeng is so angry.

After all, the army of the Ming Dynasty is a pure-blooded firearms unit. The muskets and cannons are equipped with a large amount of ammunition to fill.

Once the supply of ammunition is lost, it is tantamount to broken copper. The combat effectiveness that the Ming army could exert could not reach 20% of its heyday.

Especially at present, it is about to capture the key cities of Guangxi and Yunnan provinces. The firearms and ammunition must have consumed a lot. With such a sudden cut off of supply, the plan to get food has become a piece of paper.

It can be said that this is completely intended to abolish the force of the Ming army.

Not only Nan Feng was angry, but Zhang Xiao was also furious. He slapped the table heavily and cursed, "What are these guys doing?" ”。 In the end, the Ming army and the Ming Dynasty are an inseparable whole. If the force of the Ming army is abolished, the safety of the Ming Dynasty will be very precarious.
