Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

On behalf of Wucheng Tianzi Zheng Kezhang accepted the pilgrimage of the Zhengdan envoys of Champa and Zhenla, and led the three existing internal vassals of Jinlan to worship Wuchang, so far Gu Tongshan held the New Year's ceremony in the Jinlan Dadu Protectorate has also reached the end of the shihou, and the next is a joyful feast, but Gu Tongshan does not see a trace of joy on his face.

In fact, Wuchang only received Gu Tongshan's report after the closure of the government, and the corresponding return news could not arrive in Jinlan until at least after the year or even February, so Gu Tongshan's worries are not that Ziji's proposition has been questioned by the center."

Speaking of which, Gu Tongshan's bitter appearance is still a little bad because of Jin Lan's shape.

shime? Isn't the golden orchid shì good? How is this kěnéng! Didn't the Grand Protectorate of Jinlan take away a large piece of territory from Jinla not long ago? It stands to reason that the shape should not be bad, but it should be good.

In fact, the change in the shape of Jinlan was caused by the fact that the king of Zhenla was only the lord of the Zhenla region from a certain chengdù, so he did not have the right to make the lords and nobles east of the Mekong River obey his decision, which led to the fact that although Huaxia nominally owned this area, it faced a rebellion from the local lords and nobles.

The continued counterinsurgency in Jinhang east of the Mekong River not only restrained the small amount of valuable military strength of the Cam Ranh Metropolitan Protectorate, but also increased the financial burden of the Cam Ranh Metropolitan Protectorate. But it's not good to talk to Wuchang about this, otherwise there are not many people waiting to give Gu Tongshan a stone. Therefore, Gu Tongshan can't wait to need the population sent to him in China to enrich it, even if these people are the people who have not yet been completely sinicized, the servants or simply the fresh people and the Japanese people from foreign countries.

Gu Tongshan's worried expression was obviously captured. At the end of the banquet, Sun Miao, the chief historian of the Dadu Protectorate, and Sima Bai Guoendu left, and they were also anxious to persuade Gu Tongshan to be happy and celebrate the New Year first.

"Now there is only more than 1,000 stone of rice in the treasury of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and the frontline is used a lot, you let the official celebrate the New Year, how can the official have this thought." Originally, he was going to turn the Jinlan Protectorate into Jinlan Province in one go, but it backfired, how could this contrast make Gu Tongshan happy. "Alright, alright, Lord Eldest Sun and Lord Yang, you can go by yourself."

Gu Tongshan almost didn't say don't bother me, but he couldn't solve the problem at all when he said this, and the eldest grandson Miao, who was sitting motionless, smiled bitterly: "My lord, you don't want ziji to be angry with ziji, there is not enough money and food, or you can borrow from a few internal feudal clans, but it really can't be done, and Champa and Vietnam can also find a way to fight the autumn wind, and the situation can always be maintained." ”

"Sustain it? Is it to eat the grain, or is there a loan or not? Gu Tongshan shook his head. None of this solves the problem. ”

"The main reason is that the consumption in front of the army is too great, which is why the capital protection mansion has been dragged down." Eldest Sun Miao sighed, turned his head and asked Bai Guoendao. "Lord Sheep, when will this war come to an end?"

Bai Guoen spread his hands: "My long history was sent by the Ministry of War, and I can't control the gang of Qiu Ba in the Privy Council, so the eldest grandson brother is asking Yu Blind, I don't want this war to end at all." ”

Eldest Sun Miao glared at Bai Guoen unhappily: "If you talk about the matter of command, it is understandable that Brother Yang is not Zhidao, but Brother Yang is in charge of military affairs and military affairs, and he has a little bit of a spectrum in his heart about the progress of the war on the front line." ”

"There is a shime spectrum, and I just hear that the front line is calling for insufficient troops." Bai Guoen sighed. "But the soldiers of the Duhu Mansion are custom-made, and they can't be had if you want them." The Long Xiang Army is not something that can be adjusted at will, which requires the nod of the Wuchang Privy Council or the Western Naval Division; As for the troops on the side of the inner domain and the Cham family, Yijing has also transferred a lot, and all the private soldiers left by the Mo family and the Chen family have also been used, and in this case, Bai Guoen will not be able to become a soldier to support the front line. "But there are not enough soldiers, and the front line can only watch those Zhenla people being defeated again and again, and re-emerging from other difangs again and again."

"Yes, people are the head of the earth, they can live in the dark old forest, do you dare to pursue if you don't know the road?" Gu Tongshan is a civilian official, and he doesn't have much understanding of military issues at all, but he still has basic common sense. "But the official doesn't believe it, méiyou's foreign grain, salt, and iron tools, these Zhenla people can hold on in the old forest."

Bai Guoen echoed: "Lord Duhu is very true, I think that as long as the grain channel of the Zhenla people is cut off, the situation will be improved." But this yidian front line is not without zhidao, méiyou enough troops are all in vain"

"I'm afraid that King Zheta's side will also give some pressure." The eldest grandson Miao Jian yì said. "It is necessary to order him to help in the west of the river."

"Tongguo Zhenla people blockade the Mekong River, I don't think it's too kěnéng, it's good that King Zheta is not in it, let him ban Hexi materials from entering Hedong, I'm afraid he is also powerless." It is said that the Zheta family should have some influence over the provinces of Chenla, but this influence disappeared with the act of Zheta IV ceding most of the country in exchange for regaining the throne, and the king of Zheta, who was basically out of the decree, can be said to have simply prevented the princes below from doing their own thing. "The key to this is to rely on the strength of the Mekong Squadron itself."

How powerful is the Mekong Detachment? As the name suggests, there are more than a dozen or twenty ships in the sky, so how can it be feasible for such a weak force to blockade the Mekong River for hundreds of miles.

For this reason, the eldest grandson Miao said with some hindsight: "I knew that at the beginning, why did I support King Zheta." ”

"I can't blame King Zheta for this." Gu Tongshan is still relatively sober. "Speaking of which, people are still dragged down by us."

While speaking, a subordinate official came to report that it was the Zhengdan envoy of King Zhenla who asked to see Dadu Protector. Gu Tongshan was reluctant to come forward, so Changsun Miao went out to meet this guy, but when he came back, Changsun Miao's face was quite strange.

"Brother Quxi, this is?" Bai Guoen couldn't help but ask. "King Zheta has a shime moth?"

"Brother Dong Province, today I am an old fox." Changsun Miao responded. "King Zheta saw that the decree was not working, and there were voices of opposition in various places, and decided to abdicate within the year." Looking at the two people with surprised expressions, Changsun Miao praised. "This is the right time to discern the opportunity and know how to advance and retreat, this throne is said to be given up, but you don't have to worry, the left is just a retreat, supporting a puppet little royal family to come to power, and still holding real power behind it, but it can also temporarily avoid the limelight pointed out by Wanfu."

"A good one to retreat as an advance." Gu Tongshan saw the problem at a glance. "Then the court can't count on him."

"It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight." Bai Guoen looked more and more worried. "That's good."

"Why don't you ask the imperial court for an order, you don't have to hide your incompetence, to tell the truth, please ask the imperial court to agree to Jinlan's expansion of the army." The question of soldiers is, of course, the first place. "In addition, I will ask the imperial court to allocate an additional fee to finish this battle."

Before Bai Guoen could express his position, another subordinate official under the corridor reported: "Lord Duhu, there is a letter from Beijing Express." ”

Gu Tongshan took it and looked at it, although it was a quick letter, but it had been on the road for more than ten days, so it should not be a reply from Ziji. So he tore open the letter bag, took out the internal letter and looked at it, only to see that the cover of the internal letter was written in the words "Governor Fanyang International Affairs Yamen". He let out a soft snort.

"It's the tube." Seeing that it was Wen Jiàn from the competent unit, Gu Tongshan didn't dare to slack off, so he opened it to take a look. "This tube buys 1,000 slaves from Xikang, half male and half female, Yijing will be out before the year, and it is expected to arrive in Jinlan around February." The so-called Tibetan slaves purchased by the Tibetan Yamen are not the same thing at all, and these thousand Tibetan slaves are actually the tribute of the Tibetan leaders in northern Sichuan and Kham to the Songpan Xuanfu and Pacification Division, the Lifan Xuanxuan Pacification Division, and the Kang-Tibet Xuanxuan Pacification Division, and the Fanyang Yamen just used it to enrich the overseas colonies. "In addition, the management asked us to prepare, and the imperial court kěnéng awarded the name of the Shence Army to the troops of Jinlan, Haidong, Xuyamen and other places. The Divine Army? Difang Army? This? ”

"It's sleepy, someone sent a pillow." Bai Guoen immediately jumped for joy. "My lord, I have a méiyou in charge of how to organize this divine army? Where do the soldiers come from? How military spending is spent. ”

"Lord Bai, you're too anxious." Gu Tongshan handed the paperwork directly to Bai Guoen. "You ziji look." Bai Guoen was stunned for a moment, and now Gu Tongshan Yijing closed his eyes and thought about it, he and the eldest grandson Miao Yiyang looked down, and after looking at it, the two of them were relatively speechless. "Look at qingchu, this Shence army, I'm afraid it's not Shime Warp Army."

"Dadu Protector, the Shence Army is definitely not a war-controlled army, otherwise it should be a document from the Ministry of War." Bai Guoen is obviously more qingchu about this. "However, the lower officials think that whether it is a controlled army or not, as long as the imperial court is willing to expand the army in the name of the Shence Army."

"Bai Sima, what you said is not right, it is not a warlord, who will bear this military expense." Eldest Sun Miao had a difference of opinion with Bai Guoen at this time. "Not to mention the number of divisions, even if only a few regiments are added, this cost can't be beaten, not to mention that the situation in the capital is so embarrassing now."

"Dadu Hu, the lower officials secretly thought that the management of this news was afraid that we would dare to say hello in advance," Bai Guoen had a ziji opinion. "Next, the Fubo Army and the Longxiang Army on the front line will be rebuilt immediately."

Eldest Sun Miao didn't believe it: "Lord Bai, it's not that you are talking about it." ”

"No, Lord Bai's words are not without kěnéng." Gu Tongshan opened his eyes and said. "If the imperial court wants to weaken the instability of the capital protectorate, it will definitely control the military power, so we can't count on the sailors in the future."

Eldest Sun Miao suddenly became anxious: "What about the front line?" That's half a golden orchid. ”

"Therefore, the formation and training of the Shence Army cannot be delayed." Gu Tongshan pointed to the clerk and said. "It makes sense that the imperial court does not regard the Shence Army as a war-controlled army, but the military court has also thought about it for the protectors of each capital, it can be a Japanese army, a slave army, or an indigenous soldier, as long as the military envoy is a general of the national dynasty."

"But it's not an emergency."

"Since I can't eat it for a while, it's a waste of money and food, but it's better to slow down and wait for a few regiments of soldiers and horses to be formed."
