Gao Yang's intention to attack Western Xia was not too disguised. At least now all the generals under his command already know. These generals did not object, on the contrary, they were all very excited. For these real soldiers, only the bloody battlefield is the place they yearn for the most. Especially when the army has been constantly victorious. Bianliang City, which is leveling up and dancing, has no attraction to them at the moment.

Of course, if there is something for it, there will be something for it. Prime Minister Li Gang, the new boss of the Political Affairs Hall, is very opposed to continuing to mobilize troops at this time. After he learned the news, he hurried to the Yanwang Mansion to try to persuade Gao Yang to give up the plan to send troops.

After dinner, Gao Yang, who was chatting with his wife in the garden to watch the stars, had to go to the living room to meet Li Gang after being disturbed. After all, he is the prime minister, and he can't be seen.

"Lord Wang." With Li Gang's identity at the moment, there is no need to salute Gao Yang. However, when he saw Gao Yang, he still respectfully saluted Gao Yang. Not because of Gao Yang's status as a prince, but because he is grateful for everything Gao Yang has done for this country!

Save the edifice and destroy the enemy country outside the fortress! Gao Yang's achievements cannot be overpraised. It's just that although he greatly admires Gao Yang's ability, Li Gang still insists on suspending the continued use of foreign troops.

"Why are you here, Prime Minister?" After the ceremony, the two sat down separately, and after the servant served tea, Gao Yang asked directly.

Li Gang put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Gao Yang with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice, "I heard that the prince is about to launch troops against Western Xia, I don't know if this matter is true?" ”

Gao Yang took a sip of the teacup, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said with a chuckle, "There is such an idea." ”

"Lord Wang." Li Gang frowned and continued: "Not long ago, the Northern Expedition just ended. The army has just been disbanded and rested, how can it be so easy to start fighting again? ”

"You don't have to worry about the army." Gao Yang waved his hand and said, "I naturally have my own plans. Since there is a war against Western Xia, there must be a reason why it is necessary to go to war. ”

"Lord Wang." Li Gang stood up directly and looked at Gao Yang with a solemn expression. said in a deep voice: "A certain is the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, how can it be said that it has nothing to do with a war with the country?" Besides, even if you don't talk about the military. But this people's livelihood and political affairs must be talked about, right? ”

"People's livelihood?" Gao Yang put down his teacup, took out his cigarette, and lit it. He looked at Li Gang with a puzzled expression, and asked out loud, "What's the matter?" What does this have to do with the Great Army Battle? ”

"Lord Wang." Li Gang took a step forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Although the gold thief has been destroyed at this time. But in the past few years, the gold thieves have repeatedly entered the army, and the entire land of Hebei has suffered a military disaster. Not to mention the displacement of the people, everywhere was devastated by the gold thieves. Now it's hard to get some improvement. It is time to continue to recuperate in an attempt to restore the people's strength. If you are eager to use your sword and soldiers, isn't it a competition for profit with the people? ”

Gao Yang also stood up, this time he really didn't understand what Li Gang was talking about, "Why do you compete with the people for profit?" I'm going to fight, not to defend the land! The battlefields are all in enemy countries, what does this have to do with the people? ”

"Lord Wang." Li Gang's expression did not move, and he continued: "The army is going to go on the expedition, but do you want to recruit the people to accompany the army? Do you want to raise supplies? Can you supply the state and county along the way? Do you want the court to pay for food? This is the time when everything is in ruins, and there is an urgent need for manpower everywhere. The prince dragged everyone out to fight, so who will do the work? Is the field still ploughed or not? Will all kinds of construction continue? Dredging the canal. Construction of highways, construction of water conservancy facilities. All of this requires a lot of manpower. And. ”

After Li Gang breathed a deep sigh of relief, he said in a deep voice: "Now I see that I am about to harvest grain!" "That's the most important thing! For the farming people, there is nothing more important than spring plowing and autumn harvest.

The army went into battle. The larger the scale, the more people will be recruited. These men are the main laborers of the family, and they travel to foreign lands to fight during the busiest farming season. This is definitely a taboo for rulers!

Seriously, Gao Yang really didn't think about this kind of thing. At this moment, Li Gang said so. Gao Yang was directly stunned.

Born in a modern time and space where all kinds of materials are extremely abundant, where will Gao Yang still remember these things? Who in modern time and space thinks about what harvest and sowing season will be in the middle of war? Who didn't decide to fight and just hit it? There is also the matter of the people. This word has long been absent in modern warfare, and everyone is professional!

"That's it." Gao Yang paced slowly in the living room with his hands behind his back. Thinking about how to solve this problem.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about." After a while, just when Li Gang thought he had convinced Gao Yang. Gao Yang suddenly paused, looked sideways at Li Gang, raised his chin and said, "The people are no longer levied." There is also no need for state and county supplies along the way. As for supplies, I have a lot of them. However, the food and salary still have to be paid by the imperial court, which is after all fighting for the country. What do you think? ”

"This" If someone else said this, Li Gang could spray his face and spit, point at his nose and scold and say crazy words!

From ancient times to the present, where is there a thing where the army is fighting outside the country without recruiting people? Western Xia is thousands of miles away, the army is out of Bianliang City, and the food and drink along the way are not supplied by the prefectures and counties along the way, and those big-headed soldiers are not allowed to mutiny on the spot? !

"Lord Wang." Li Gang said with an ugly expression: "This matter should not be a joke!" This is the life of hundreds of thousands of troops! ”

"Who said you were laughing?" Gao Yang's expression was cold, and he said in a deep voice, "When have I ever joked?" Wouldn't I know about this kind of thing? ”

"Okay." Li Gang saw that Gao Yang insisted on not dwelling on this issue. After a pause, he looked at Gao Yang and said, "But the prince." The imperial court could not raise the food and salary for the army at this moment. ”

"Huh?" Gao Yang looked stunned, frowned slightly, and looked at him for a while. It wasn't until Li Gang was looked unnatural by Gao Yang that he said in a cold voice, "I gave you so much money and food." And where are all the things that were seized? Swallowed by you? Well?! ”

When he said the back, Gao Yang's tone was already with a hint of murderous intent! If these turbans are so unreminiscent and want to reach out when they see the benefits, then Gao Yang will definitely not care about the crazy killing of the last bloody night!

After hearing Gao Yang's words, Li Gang quietly breathed a sigh of relief. After arching his hand, he explained loudly, "The prince has misunderstood. If someone really dares to do this greedy thing, without the anger of the prince, a certain family will definitely not be able to spare them! ”

After a pause, he continued, "Most of the things captured by the prince's Northern Expedition are some antique treasures. These things are not to be put away as money, nor can they be eaten as food. As for the gold and silver given by the prince, they are all used as the bottom of the treasury and must not be used. As for the rest, these days, the military and civilian officials in various places have had food and clothing, and there are so many projects that they have long been out of money. The army went out on a campaign, with no money and no food. ”

Gao Yang smiled and sat back in his chair, crossed his legs, and took a sip from his teacup. looked up at Li Gang, who looked weird, smiled, and said, "This matter is like this." You don't have to do anything more. I'll just take care of it myself. ”

"Lord Wang. Military affairs, no sloppiness! Li Gang was a little anxious, he was worried that Gao Yang would begin to become arrogant under the stimulus of a series of brilliant victories. Forced unprepared war, and finally let the sergeants die in a foreign land.

Although Li Gang has some opinions on some of Gao Yang's practices. For example, imprisoning the emperor or something. But Gao Yang's is indeed the great savior and hero of this country at this moment! The country cannot now do without the Gaoyang and Changsheng army. Once the army loses the battle, it will inevitably have a heavy blow to the prosperous era that has just revealed the signs!

"Alright, alright." Gao Yang waved his hand a little impatiently, stood up and said, "You don't need to ask more about military affairs. Just do your own thing. As I said, this time there is no need for the court to pay for the grain. There is no need to supply the state and county along the way. and no more husbands. You do the local thing as soon as possible. In such a big country, it is so troublesome to collect taxes. If nothing else, the balance of expenses can always be achieved, right? ”

"Okay." Li Gang nodded helplessly. At this moment, Gao Yang's prestige and power in this country have already reached their peak. It's no longer time for anyone to point fingers at him. Now that Gao Yang has made up his mind, no one can shake it!

After Li Gang left, Gao Yang went to the study to be alone for a while.

"You're not the same. That's all they can see. And you have to see through thousands of years. Origin said aloud.

Gao Yang sat behind his desk, took out his cigarette, and lit it. "None of this matters. Whether it's money or something else, I have. The most important thing is to start fighting as soon as possible. ”

"Who's going to be in charge this time? You shouldn't be able to go, right? The modern plane doesn't know when it will move, and you need to stay there for a long time. Yuan Dian said softly.

"I know that." Gao Yang raised his eyebrows, and said with a chuckle, "Up and down for thousands of years, when it comes to leading troops to fight, Yue Fei can definitely rank in the top five." He is at the same level as Huo Qubing and Wei Qing. With such a strong commander-in-chief, I don't need to bother anymore. ”

"In the era of cold weapons, an excellent commander can play a huge role on the battlefield!" Origin said aloud.

"Of course I do." Gao Yang leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and said with a smile, "But this ability is not outstanding in the era of advanced technology." As long as your technology can be crushed, as long as you are not a fool in command, it is enough to win. ”

"Actually, even in the era of advanced technology. Sometimes the power of the individual can still make a decisive difference. Yuan said with a smile as if he remembered something.

"For example?" Gao Yang was aroused by curiosity and asked out loud.

"I have humanoid mobile weapons in my storage. Such a powerful weapon requires a strong individual to wield it to the fullest extent. The origin said in detail.

"That's right." Gao Yang reached out and pinched his chin, silent. (To be continued......)
