When the ministers above the Golden Palace all calmed down, Chu Luli continued: "Although it is said that the battle loss rate of our army's military personnel is extremely low, however, due to the extensive use of artillery and crossbows, and even small-scale battles, our army directly uses artillery and crossbows to carry out slaughtering operations against the enemy, so that the loss rate of various types of artillery and repeaters of our Western Route Army is extremely high. As a result, the loss rate of the special operations equipment used by the ghost cavalry army is also high, and other weapons and armor and other equipment are not included in the scope of damage reporting for the time being. According to the statistics of the Ordnance Department's quotations for various weapons and equipment, the total value of the ordnance losses reported by our Western Route Army this time is 280 million yuan. ”

"280 million guanwen! According to the CIA's front-line battle report, I learned that more than a dozen enemies hid in a small cave and you continued to consume, and a few shells could solve the problem, and you actually lost to the point where you blew up the entire hill, did our shells fall from the sky or what? Don't want money? It's really thick, so I'm not afraid of wasting it, right? The generals above the main hall, I did say that the cannonballs are open for you to use, but we can't waste it like this, the military department, go back and send a message to the commanders of the various military divisions equipped with artillery, the emperor is not hungry soldiers, but the emperor is disgusted with extravagance and waste. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the old minister has written it down." Seeing that I am very unhappy about the problem of military waste, as the secretary of the military department, he has an unshirkable responsibility. After Zhou Tong returned to the shift after receiving the order, he directly took out the handkerchief in his sleeve and kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead

"Chu Luli, you can also go back."

"Yes, Wechen obeys." Chu Luli, who retreated, also took out the handkerchief in his sleeve and wiped his head, and I reprimanded him like this, which made him deeply realize that the person sitting on the dragon chair in front of him was not only his amiable and scoundrel brother-in-law, but also the iron-blooded emperor of this country, but also his emperor

"Shi Wuqing, the commander of the East Route Army, can you also tell me about the situation of your East Route Army."

"Uh, yes, I do." Wu Yong just listened to my reprimand for Chu Luli, and he knew that his stinking scolding was inevitable, as the marching commander of the Eastern Route Army, he naturally knew that the waste of the Eastern and Western Route Armies was about the same, half a catty and eight taels, no one should laugh at anyone

Therefore, when Wu calmly reported the capture and loss of the Western Route Army to me with strong pretenses, he was also sprayed by me fiercely, their captured materials were slightly less than those of the Western Route Army, but the loss rate of ordnance and the waste of materials and ammunition were also quite considerable, and even more, when Lu Junyi's Eastern Route Army attacked Liaoyang City, because of its contempt for the enemy, he was killed more than 6,000 soldiers by the general of the Jin State in the first battle, and this account naturally had to be recorded on the head of their Eastern Route Army, it's just that he, the marching commander, was scolded for Lu Junyi

However, after thinking about it again, it is still like this, after all, it has happened, and the only thing I can do now is to give more compensation to those soldiers who died in battle, and then to warn all generals not to make such low-level mistakes in the future

"Someone dies in a war, whether it is an ordinary soldier or a noble emperor, anyone may become a dead corpse in the war, but we try to avoid those unnecessary deaths, any soldier or general, they are with the expectations of their families to follow us to the battlefield to protect the family and defend the country, but you see, how many soldiers in the war lost their lives because of your negligence, and buried their bones in other places, as commanders at all levels of the army, maybe when we make a battle plan, After a lot of repeated and careful scrutiny, maybe there will not be so many war loopholes for the enemy to drill, maybe the battle loss rate of our soldiers will be reduced again, war, the fight is not only the national strength and the quality of the soldiers, but more of us as high-level commanders, I know that when you see the broken armor of the soldiers of those countries, the chaotic military formation, you are very contemptuous of them, but, remember one of my words, that is: despise the enemy strategically, and pay attention to the enemy tactically. You can look down on them on your ideological level, but you must win them on the level of war, and in the future you must not be deceived by the appearance of the enemies you encounter. ”

"The ministers remember His Majesty's teachings, and dare not forget each other until death."

I took a sip of tea and moistened my throat, and then continued: "Okay, let's talk about the unhappy things first, let's talk about the happy things, this campaign, our soldiers have worked hard, and they are all full of fat intestines on the front line, hahaha, so ah, I will no longer take money alone to reward the hard-working generals and the soldiers who fought bloodily, because even if I am taking out money to reward you, it is not as much as you have on the front line, and in the end I will say that I am stingy hahaha." ”

As I quipped, many generals or officials who returned from the expedition showed a smile that everyone understands, and then I continued: "I think, although you are out on the expedition, you should have heard about it, and everyone has a share. We officially held the award ceremony on the ninth day of the first lunar month. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Little Bean, let's make a decree."

"The slave obeys."

"The edict said: The two countries of Jin Liao in the north of the empire, the unrighteous division of the great xing, the northern border of the Song Empire, I have no choice but to raise the king's division to cut it down, and now, the generals of the Northern Expedition have returned triumphantly, and I am very happy, the general manager of the march of the West Road Army of the Special Jin Dynasty is the loyal and brave uncle, and the general manager of the march of the East Road Army of the Special Jin Dynasty Lu Junyi is the uncle of Yi Yong, and the golden book is given, and the gold book is given, and Hu Yanzhuo, the seed division, Shi Wengong, Jin Guiyong, Chu Luli, Wu Yong, Lin Chong, Zhang Qing, are all awarded the title of first-class viscount, and the gold book is given.

Chin this. ”

"Ministers, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Let's be even."

"Long live thanks." (To be continued.) )
