As soon as Zhu Daguang came out, a person walked into the small courtyard and said in surprise: "You guys...... Who are you, and how dare you be at the door of my father's house? ”

Zhu Daguang recognized him, he was Di Qing's eldest son, Di Xian, and the deputy envoy of the cabinet gate in the west. www.biquge.info He came to the Royal Military Academy this time, and he also came to fulfill his filial piety. When the father is sick, the son should serve at the bedside to change the medicine. After all, Dashun governs the country with filial piety, and the Gangchang Rite Religion has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Seeing him carrying a bowl of soup and medicine, I knew that he was not there before, but went to the canteen to boil medicine. Zhu Daguang saw his puzzled look, and hurriedly explained: "Brother Di, don't worry, the saint is inside today, talk to Mr." ”

Di Yan came to his senses when he heard this, but he was very embarrassed: "But daddy should drink medicine!" ”

Zhu Daguang thought for a while and said, "Presumably Your Majesty will not stay for long, so you can take a food box and warm up the medicine, so as not to reduce the power of the medicine." ”

Di Tan and Zhu Daguang can also be regarded as nodding friends, this suggestion is not bad, only that's it. According to the concept of the ancients, the emperor of heaven and earth is in front of his closest relatives. The emperor's decree is more important than the words of his parents. This is also part of the Gangchang Rite Sect, and Di Jian has no choice but to bear it silently. He also knew that his father was a courtier valued by the little emperor, and it was normal for him to meet in secret.

There was no way, Di Zhen could only take this bowl of medicine and go back to the canteen to find a food box. And Zhu Daguang also knew that there was nothing to do to stay here, and he still had homework to complete, so he left on his own.

In the room, Lu Chengqi said: "I came here this time, I just want to know what happened to those van soldiers. ”

Although Di Qing was ill, he was still conscious, and when he heard Lu Chengqi ask, he was silent for a while before he said: "Judging from the news from the forbidden army camp, the Xiang army was disrupted and included in the battle sequence of the forbidden army. Excluding the weak soldiers, coupled with correct training, there is now almost the same number of auxiliaries in the forbidden army. ”

Lu Chengqi nodded and continued to ask, "How did the officers of the Xiang Army perform in the military academy?" ”

Asked this question, Di Qing smiled confidently and said, "When you get to the Royal Military Academy, where can these little rabbit cubs go?" In less than two days, he was already satisfied. The old minister wants to congratulate Your Majesty, if all the officers of Dashun are admitted to the Royal Military Academy, the day when they can be used in the army can be waited! ”

The meaning of Di Qing's words conceals Lu Chengqi's ambition. Lu Chengqi did not hide this, the counterattack on the Liao State was a national policy formulated by Lu Chengqi, whether it was from the perspective of the survival of the dynasty or from the perspective of national antagonism, it was impossible for the two countries to coexist peacefully.

But Lu Chengqi will not confront a powerful country with a territory similar to that of Dashun, even if he has a powerful firearm. Because that would be irrational, if you want to defeat the Liao State, it is best to provoke the relationship between the Jurchens and the Khitans, let them kill each other, and Dashun will harvest in the back.

Lu Chengqi's idea was to rectify all the troops in Dashun, and then slowly replace them with the latest equipment. The integration of the country's army is within the plan. Lu Chengqi issued a secret order to Di Qing, asking him to take over the training of the forbidden army camp, and the purpose was this. The next goal is to abolish the numbering of the box army, and only divide the border army and the forbidden army. Then send the forbidden army to the border to garrison and exchange it for the border army. If the number of the border army is abolished, then there will be only one army left, the forbidden army. In this way, the cohesion of the army will increase, and the cooperation between them will be much better than fighting on their own.

This plan is only known by God and earth, Lu Chengqi himself knows, and Di Qing knows. Di Qing didn't involve military power, and it didn't matter if he knew. In addition, Lu Chengqi believes that Di Qing will not betray Dashun, and he will definitely keep this secret in his heart. Even if it's a son, he won't talk about it.

After listening to Di Qing's words, Lu Chengqi was noncommittal, but said: "Di Qing, I just went to the Ordnance Prison, and the matter of artillery already has eyebrows......

When Di Qing heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he muttered: "Could it be that the old minister can really see His Majesty expand his territory in his lifetime?" ”

Lu Chengqi laughed and said: "The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, if the logistics can't keep up, at most one or two cities in the Liao State will be occupied." The two countries are at war, and they are actually fighting logistics and domestic economies. Actually, normally, I shouldn't have gone to war. Because the cost of the Liao State to start a war is much smaller than that of Dashun. If I go to war against Liao, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Di Qing knew the importance of logistics, but the concept of economy, he Di Qing had not thought of it before. However, as soon as Lu Chengqi said this, Di Qing understood: "That's right, the soldiers of the Liao State are all recruited, and there is no need for the Liao State to pay for recruitment." But I am a great soldier, and I am supported by money and silver. If there is a war, the treasury will be empty. If there is any natural or man-made disaster, the consequences will be unimaginable. The old minister now finally understands why His Majesty must suppress the bandits, and the problem of ringworm scabies, if left unchecked, will become a catastrophe in the future. ”

Lu Chengqi nodded and said, "That's right, the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in the anthill." This is the admonition of the ancient sages and sages, and it cannot be forgotten. ”

Di Qing suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, the old minister dares to ask, if Dashun does not fight the Liao State, will the Liao State still go south to fight the Grass Valley?" "He hated the cruelty of the Khitans. It's like a locust in transit, and everywhere it goes, it's thousands of miles away. Whether it was gold or silver, or sickles and hoes, and even old and weak women and children, they were all taken captive.

And the border army throws a rat trap, even if it has superior combat strength, it does not dare to bear the name of killing compatriots. The Khitan people became more and more arrogant, so much so that in recent years, they have become even more rampant, and they have to invade the south every year. Fortunately, Lu Chengqi resolutely sent troops and successfully counterattacked the Liao State, achieving the greatest victory against Liao since Wenzong. forced Liao to sign an entente that would not be violated for three years. The two sides opened a market and exchanged transactions.

Lu Chengqi pondered for a while and said: "There may be no war in ten years, but my Dashun economy far exceeds that of Liao, and over time, the trade surplus, the money and silver of Liaoguo have been earned by my Dashun, and it is expected that there will be swords again." However, within three to five years, the Khitans will no longer fight the grass valley. ”

Di Qing didn't understand the economy, so he could only trust Lu Chengqi's judgment and said, "Then when is Your Majesty going to attack Liao?" The old minister is willing to be stubborn, charge ahead, and expand the territory for His Majesty! Speaking excitedly, Di Qing wanted to struggle to get up again.

Lu Chengqi pressed him on the bed with a wry smile, covered him with a quilt, and said, "Di Qing's wish, isn't it my wish?" It's just that the old general only needs to wait for the good news that I have a plan, and in five or six years, the strength of the Liao State will inevitably be greatly weakened. When the time comes, it will no longer be a dream to restore the homeland of the Han people. ”

Seeing that Di Qing still had something to say, Lu Chengqi continued: "The old general and cultivate well, this matter is not in a hurry. It's been a long time since I've been out, and it's time to go back to the palace. I have arranged for Di Qing to take medicine according to the doctor's instructions. Don't cut corners, that's my will, you know? ”

Di Qing's words were blocked, so he had to say: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Lu Chengqi saw that he was soft, and left the room. Outside the door, through the gallop road, Imperial Doctor Liu, who was invited by the royal carriage, had been waiting for a long time.

Imperial Doctor Liu said: "The old minister has seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty Sheng'an. ”

Lu Chengqi nodded and said, "Imperial Doctor Liu doesn't need to be polite, Di Qing is an important minister of the country, and he must be carefully diagnosed." ”

Imperial Doctor Liu said: "The minister must try his best to diagnose the pulse of the old general. ”

Lu Chengqi saw that it was okay at this moment, so he said: "I will go back to the palace first, Imperial Doctor Liu, after you prescribe the prescription, you must go to the Vertical Arch Hall to tell me." ”

Imperial Doctor Liu said: "The minister obeys the order! (To be continued.) )
