Chapter 216: The Extra 50,000 Cavalry Out of Thin Air
"Kong Taichang, what if you want to seal Mount Tai?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not refuse, but directly asked Kong Lin how to seal Mount Tai.
When Kong Lin heard this, he said: "Your Majesty, the head of Fengzen Taishan should be changed to show the renewal of Vientiane. Second, the ancient Son of Heaven used Mount Tai, and the princes all had a place to stay, so that the princes of the world could build a mansion under Mount Tai. Third, the Taishan Ming Hall should be rebuilt to show His Majesty's heart of Zen. ”
When Huo Guang dedicated the "Feng Zen Book" compiled by Sima Xiangru to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the book was ostensibly shelved, but in fact, many important ministers of the court had already read the contents, and when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Kong Lin, Kong Lin answered reasonably.
"Then how do you think Aiqing should change the yuan?" Emperor Wu of Han asked casually, his gaze wandering back and forth on the ministers.
It is not difficult to change the yuan, anyway, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only changed the yuan yuan not long ago, although the change of the yuan is also a major event of a country, but after all, it is just a name, and it will not have any substantial impact.
"Your Majesty, how about the minister think it's better to be called Yuan Feng?" Sang Hongyang thought for a moment and said.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has long regarded himself as an emperor through the ages, and this Yuan character has been used by him to the extreme, and it is logical for Sang Hongyang to propose to change Yuan to Yuan Feng. Subsequently, the courtiers agreed to this proposal, and naturally Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also gave the Yuan Feng year name along the way.
As for the second thing, all the princes of the world want to build mansions at the foot of Mount Tai, and the court is silent at this time. If it is just to let the kings surnamed Liu go to the foot of Mount Tai to build a mansion, it is estimated that the problem is not big, and I began to listen to Kong Lin's meaning, I am afraid that the princes above will go to the foot of Mount Tai to build a mansion, so it will be a little difficult, because this project is too huge, and some of the princes have no real power, and they are not rich only by eating.
"Let the princes build a mansion under Mount Tai, and the princes of more than 3,000 households will participate in it together with the kings surnamed Liu. Mingtang's words must be rebuilt, and it must be built on a large scale, and this matter will be taken care of by the Great Agricultural Order! "How did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty not know the thoughts of these courtiers, if the princes of the world were to go to the foot of Mount Tai to build a mansion, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also felt that it was unrealistic, and the princes of more than 3,000 households and the kings surnamed Liu would not be a big problem.
"Obey." Sang Hongyang respectfully prayed.
Mingtang is the ancient Son of Heaven to meet ministers, the place to discuss political affairs, originally there was a Ming Hall of the former dynasty at the foot of Mount Tai, but it has been abandoned because of disrepair, plus it is the thing of the previous dynasty after all, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will naturally not use it.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw that Fengchan Taishan was basically settled, and he also counted it as a long-term heart disease. Just when everyone thought that the matter was over and that they should start discussing the envoys of the Western Regions, Emperor Wu of Han once again suddenly caught the courtiers off guard.
"In this way, it is scheduled to seal Mount Tai in the spring of next year, but before that, I am determined to personally lead a large army to the north to tour the Huns, and I want the Huns to completely surrender to the Han, and the specific march matters will be discussed later." Emperor Wu of Han's voice revealed an undoubted majesty, and at this moment the courtiers could feel that this was Emperor Wu of Han informing the court, not discussing with the courtiers.
Huo Guang raised his head and looked at Emperor Wu of Han on the Imperial Que, this decision of Emperor Wu of Han even surprised Huo Guang. However, if you think about it carefully, this style is in line with the style of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also has idol worship in his heart, then there is only one person, and that is the legendary Yellow Emperor. And Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's style is also to learn from the Yellow Emperor's 'fight and learn immortals'.
As the head of the Five Emperors, the Yellow Emperor not only unified the Central Plains in the legend, but also finally ascended to the immortals, and the lower could rule the people, and the upper could drive the immortals. All this in the eyes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is the goal of his own struggle, even if the conditions are ripe to seal Mount Tai, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also wants to tour the Huns in the north to achieve another great victory, to build momentum for Mount Tai.
"Your Majesty's golden body can't go deep into the dangerous land of Mobei, and the minister is willing to enter Mobei again to capture the Huns and go to Weiyang." Wei Qing bowed down to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but the general, who rarely spoke in the court, did not approve of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty personally touring the north.
"Yes, Your Majesty. If you want to attack the Huns again, you can send a general, Your Majesty is the co-lord of the world, and you can't leave Chang'an rashly. Prime Minister Zhao Zhou then also came out to say, because Gaozu had a precedent of being besieged by the Xiongnu Baideng, so what the Han Dynasty was most afraid of was the emperor's northern tour. In case of another siege of Baideng, let alone Fengzen Mount Tai, the face of the entire Han will be gone.
The generals and prime ministers have already come out to advise, and more ministers who followed naturally also echoed them, and even Sang Hongyang came out to advise. However, he did not consider from the emperor's safety and the face of the Han Dynasty, but from the logistical aspect, as a big farmer, once the emperor's northern tour of the huge team logistics support will naturally fall on him, even the support of tens of thousands of troops is extremely difficult, not to mention the emperor's northern tour, in case Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is happy to go deep into Mobei, how should he deal with this logistics supplier if he is a little poor?
Therefore, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty proposed to personally tour the north, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty almost unanimously voiced their opposition. Emperor Wu of Han, who was originally in high spirits, was also a little in a bad mood at the moment, looking at the courtiers kneeling on the ground in the Xuanshu Hall with a gloomy face, he wanted to refute but felt that it was difficult to disobey the will, he wanted to scold but didn't know who to scold!
"The minister thinks that there is nothing wrong with His Majesty's northern tour!" Just when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was riding a tiger, Huo Guang's somewhat lazy voice sounded again.
Huo Guang has not been to the court for half a year, and even disappeared from the sight of the world for a time. And this time Huo Guang returned to the court, and some well-intentioned people already felt that Huo Guang, who had not seen him for half a year, seemed to have completely changed as a person. If Huo Guang half a year ago was as sharp as the sky, then now Huo Guang is calm and introverted, which makes people wonder through.
"Anyang Hou might as well tell me your opinion." Emperor Wu of Han's gloomy face quickly showed a smile, and he hurriedly asked Huo Guang.
Huo Guang stood up and walked to the center of the main hall, at this moment the ministers all knelt on the ground, and he was the only one standing in the hall, as if he and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were the only two people in the Xuanshu Hall at this moment.
Huo Guang said with a slight smile: "Now my Han soldiers are strong and strong, far from being comparable to when Gaozu founded the country. If His Majesty makes a northern tour, he only needs to draw cavalry from the land of Sanfu and the counties of the Central Plains. Yichen's estimate is about to be able to gather about 150,000 cavalry, the cavalry is flexible and flexible, advancing and retreating freely, and the Huns have lost several battles in a row, it is the end of the force, and now it is far away from the shield for thousands of miles. ”
"But the country can't be left without an owner for a day, Your Majesty's northern tour will be a few months, how can this Chang'an not have Your Majesty?" Before Huo Guang finished speaking, Sang Hongyang had already found a new reason and hurriedly said.
"Now that the crown prince has reached the crown, His Majesty's northern tour can let the prince supervise the country, firstly, to train the prince, and secondly, to reassure the subjects of the world. Leave another group of old ministers to assist the prince, so that nothing goes wrong! Huo Guang said without thinking, as if he had already thought about it.
The prince is also a king, and the prince is in charge of the country since ancient times, and as soon as Huo Guang's words came out, no one could say that it was wrong. And Wei Qing, who was the first to stand up against Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's northern tour, also changed his expression slightly when he heard that the crown prince was in charge of the country, and his heart began to waver.
Huo Guang is right in one sentence, today's Han is not what it used to be, and it is far from being as fragile as Gao Zu was. And the Huns are not the invincible Huns that they once were, if they are really like Huo Guang said, with 150,000 cavalry patrolling north, even if the Huns are out of the nest, they are not afraid.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks what Marquis Anyang said is very reasonable." Just when the hearts of the ministers were wavering, Zhang Qian, who had not spoken, suddenly stood up and made a voice of support.
Zhang Qian's words were like the last straw pressed, and some ministers who were originally undecided also echoed it, and gradually many courtiers began to support Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's northern tour.
"Marquis of Anyang, can you gather 150,000 cavalry just in the land of Sanfu and the neighboring counties? Are there really so many? "Emperor Wu of Han was not happy that the courtiers were gradually supporting him, but focused his attention on the 150,000 cavalry that Huo Guang had mentioned. As the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty, even he didn't know and even a little unbelievable, I don't know when the Han Dynasty would be able to gather 150,000 cavalry in an instant?
In fact, this is not only the question of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but also the question of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, even as the supreme commander of the Han army, Wei Qing is not sure that these places that Huo Guang said can really make up 150,000 cavalry.
So everyone's eyes looked at Huo Guang, and at this moment, the great general Sima Pingnan in the eyes of everyone seemed to be back. I saw Huo Guang raise his head slightly, and said calmly: "Now there are more than 30,000 elites of the Southern Expedition in Shanglin Yuan, more than 10,000 cavalry of the Qimen Army, and about 20,000 cavalry of the Sanfu Duwei, there are 60,000 elites here. The cavalry of the seven counties of Hanzhong, Nanyang, Yingchuan, Hongnong, Henan, Hanoi, and Hedong was recruited to say the least, and there were 40,000 cavalry, so there were 100,000 cavalry. ”
Huo Guang talked eloquently, and soon put the number to 100,000. Because of Huo Guang's southern expedition, there are now about 30,000 more elite cavalry than in the original history, and the other places Huo Guang said can barely make up for 100,000, but the more this is the case, the more curious Emperor Wu of Han and the courtiers become, where will the remaining 50,000 cavalry come from?
50,000 cavalry is already a very large force in this era, and now the entire Han Dynasty can barely make up 50,000 cavalry except for Zhao Ponu in the second county of Hexi, and even if 50,000 knights can be made up in other places, the war horses required by the cavalry cannot be found.
"And where are the remaining 50,000 cavalry? Could it be that the Marquis of Anyang could still conjure 50,000 cavalry out of thin air? Sang Hongyang and Huo Guang have long been on the same page and known to the world, at this time, he doesn't need to worry about anything, so he asks directly in the main hall.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes in the Xuanshu Hall were staring at Huo Guang in unison, and everyone was extremely curious, where else could Huo Guang come up with another 50,000 cavalry?
Huo Guang's expression was calm, still looking calm, only to see him turn around slowly, his eyes scanning the hall, sweeping over each courtier's body. He said slowly: "I, Huo Guang, naturally can't conjure up 50,000 cavalry out of thin air, and Dahan can't get 50,000 cavalry for a while." But....... But the princes of the court and the central government can ....... But the kings of the Han Dynasty can ......."
