Xing Jue's brows furrowed suddenly, speaking of which, he has been busy with various affairs of the army these days, but he really hasn't thought much about why the emperor is so generous this time!

A mere battle of peace, originally Xing Jue estimated that three million taels of silver was enough, although it was a little tight, but it was still enough!

However, with a stroke of the pen this time, the emperor not only allocated four million taels in advance, but even said that it was not enough to add more, and with his experience, it was naturally clear that the emperor was not boasting about Haikou, but really planned to increase military spending.

At this moment, when Zhu Changluo asked, he remembered that the emperor had allocated so many silver taels, was it just to win this battle of peace?

"Then the king asked another question, Xing Shilang just said, most of the baggage escorted this time is military materials, in Xing Shilang's eyes, if all these weapons are put into the battlefield, how long will it take to win this big battle?"

"Four months!"

Xing Jue frowned and said categorically.

Although he is a literati, but he is not a rotten Confucian who is dead and studying, but also a person who knows soldiers, for this war, he has already deduced countless times in his heart, most of the weapons he escorted this time are long-range high-power weapons of destruction, if you don't need all the money to invest in war preparations, four or five months is enough to defeat the other party.

You must know that although the Ming army is good at field warfare, it is unambiguous to use weapons such as artillery and firecrackers!

What's more, before leaving Beijing this time, his boss Shangshu Shixing of the Ministry of War passed with him, this batch of weapons is the largest batch of weapons, but not all weapons, and there will be seven Hongyi cannons to the battlefield one after another, as for the number of shells, it is even larger, this is a force that can change the situation of the war.

Even Xing Jue felt that with the help of such a sharp weapon, he could win a big victory in three months!

"Then Xing Shilang has ever thought about why his father did not hesitate to spend money and food, but also ended the war of Pingwei in such a short period of time?"

This question is explicit, but Zhu Changluo doesn't care, this matter is going to be said to Xing Jue sooner or later, Zhu Yijun didn't tell him before, firstly, because the time is not enough, and it is easy for too many people to leak the news, but secondly, it is with another idea, since this matter is handed over to Zhu Changluo to do, it is better to let him tell Xing Jue, in this way, Zhu Changluo can control the Liaodong army more smoothly.

And Zhu Changluo originally didn't plan to say it so early, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and now I'm afraid that only by telling it out can he convince this stubborn old man......

Xing Jue frowned and pondered.

Why?

This question is actually not difficult to consider, a quick victory is a common thing on the battlefield, but it is a bit strange to spare money and food, just to end such a war that could have been won.

Of course, after so many years of being a squire in the military department, Xing Jue can also guess a few points, generally speaking, there are roughly two possibilities for this situation, one is that the new emperor ascends the throne and urgently needs a beautiful victory to stabilize the government and the opposition and enhance his prestige!

However, this possibility does not exist at all, it has been more than 20 years now, and the dragon chair under the ass has long been unable to sit steadily, there is absolutely no need for this!

Another possibility is that the imperial court needs a large army to fight quickly and then plunge into another big war!

This explanation is actually more reasonable, as a soldier of the Ministry of War, Xing Jue knows a lot about the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, there are more than 1.3 million soldiers registered in the Ming Dynasty, but for various reasons, in fact, there are only more than 800,000, and these soldiers need to guard the key points of the Ming Dynasty, most of them are difficult to mobilize, and the only force that can really be put into the battlefield is only these hundreds of thousands of troops.

Therefore, if there is a war in other parts of the imperial court, it is indeed necessary to have a large army to fight quickly, and then withdraw the army back to defense.

But the problem is, Xing Jue knows that now that the Ming Dynasty is peaceful and there is no intention of Mongolia, where is the need for a large army?

"I don't know if Xing Shilang has heard the story of the false Dao Defeat?"

Zhu Changluo's voice sounded at the right time, but it was a little ill-intentioned when it fell in Xing Jue's ears, but at this moment, he didn't have time to think about it, but he was shocked and said.

"Your Highness is talking about North Korea? Cannot! ”

Zhu Changluo touched his nose, a little bored, and thought about it, his allusion was indeed not very appropriate, the army went on the expedition, and it was indeed necessary to pass near Jianzhou, but more importantly, they were fake North Korea's way.

And North Korea can't move at this time, not to mention that North Korea has sworn to surrender to Daming, and now attacking North Korea, Daming can't afford to lose this person!

Even if the DPRK is fighting back with all its might, it will not be easy to deal with.

I wanted to show off, but I ran into a gray nose, and Zhu Changluo was a little scared, so he stopped selling Guan Zi and said straightforwardly.

"Xing Shilang misunderstood, this king is not talking about North Korea, but about ...... Jianzhou! ”

"Founding a state? Does Your Highness mean the Jurchen? ”

Xing Jue calmed down, but his brows were still furrowed, but he didn't react much.

Indeed, compared to North Korea, although the attack on Jianju still surprised him, it was still within the acceptable range!

"Yes, it's the Jianzhou Jurchen!"

Zhu Changluo's expression also became serious, and he said.

"Xing Shilang, the Jianzhou Jurchen has not been subordinate for a long time, and the father has already noticed it, when he was in the capital, the factory guards were dispatched at the same time, just to investigate the fine work of the Jianzhou Jurchen in my Ming Dynasty, and now this king has first arrived in Liaodong, and he has encountered the assassination of the Jurchens, which is enough to prove that he has long had the intention of rebellion, so this time the king came to Liaodong, it is for my Daming, in addition to this confidant!"

"But what does this have to do with His Highness going to the Jurchen? The court wants to cut off Nurhachi, and the ministers should obey the order, but His Royal Highness's daughter must not be in danger! ”

What kind of character Xing Jue is, he immediately thought of Zhu Changluo's intentions and spoke.

At the same time, he also understood why the emperor would give Zhu Changluo the royal flag, you must know that such a major event of mobilizing the army must be brought forward by a person with sufficient status and status, and when it comes to the army, no matter who comes to the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, it is not enough weight, and only Zhu Changluo, the future crown prince, can suppress all the voices of discussion.

However, it would be a bit far-fetched to persuade him so simply and let him unify Zhu Changluo to go to Jianzhou Jurchen!

Zhu Changluo was speechless for a while, and the words in his stomach were directly stillborn, and after a while, he said helplessly.

"Xing Shilang, in fact, this king is not completely unprepared, in fact, it is ......"

Zhu Changluo lowered his voice and muttered for a while, Xing Jue changed color for a while, and finally frowned, and finally shook his head stubbornly.

"Your Highness, even if you have this guarantee, it is extremely dangerous to go to the Jurchen, and you can't obey your fate!"

Zhu Changluo couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and said after seeing the stubborn

"In that case, then ask Xing Shilang to make a military order to ensure that the battle of Pingwei can be ended before Nurhachi captures the Haixi Jurchens......"

"This ......"

This time, it was Xing Jue, who had nothing to say.
