Chapter 183: First Chop and Then Play

"Chen An, during the time I left, has the battle on the front line changed?"

As soon as he came back, Zhao Yuan couldn't wait to ask about the war on the front line, which was related to the great plan of Dazheng Kingdom, and Zhao Yuan had to be cautious. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoOnce the northern Dakang Kingdom goes south, under the two-front battle, the Taizheng Kingdom will be attacked on its back. As Huang Yaoshi said, the shorter the time for this war to be resolved, the more beneficial it will be for Taisho Kingdom!

"Your Majesty, General Yan has conquered the Great Jade Country some time ago, and now he is storming the Great Gorge Country. Now that General Yan has occupied his two counties, it won't be long before he can completely occupy the Great Gorge Kingdom! ”

"Good, well done!" Hearing this, Zhao Yuan's face showed a hint of joy, and in less than two months, he occupied a quarter of it. At this rate, I believe that soon the land of the two coastal counties will be in the bag of Taisho Kingdom!

However, in the three counties of the Great Jade Kingdom, the total number of troops in the country is less than 200,000, and the front-line army is only 100,000. Yan Yingyuan led an army of 500,000 to launch a rapid surprise attack with lightning speed, and forcibly routed the front-line army of the Great Jade Kingdom head-on. Subsequently, it took less than a month to successfully capture the Great Jade Kingdom.

Although the national strength of the Great Gorge Country is a little stronger than that of the Great Jade Kingdom, it is also very strong. The strength of the Great Gorge State in the land of the four counties was only about 200,000, and it could not support it for long in the face of Yan Yingyuan's onslaught.

Under such a rapid attack by Taisho Kingdom, other countries did not react at all. And with Su Chen stirring in it, it is even less likely that these countries will unite. Even if they can be united, they are full of contradictions, and it is not difficult to break them individually!

What's more, after these major battles, the Great Jade Kingdom was completely taken. The army in Yan Yingyuan's hands not only did not decrease, but the original strength of 500,000 directly expanded to more than 600,000 after accepting the troops of the Great Jade Kingdom. However, this approach made the logistics of Taisho Kook a lot more difficult again.

Don't look at these Great Jade Country's armies who were passive and slacking off when they confronted Yan Yingyuan, but after turning their heads and obeying Yan Yingyuan's orders, they were all fierce and eager to rush to the front. They themselves know in their hearts that after all, their current status is to surrender to the army, and if they want to achieve status in the new country, they must make meritorious contributions.

And anyone with a discerning eye can see that Taisho Kingdom wants to eat this southeast land in one bite. And as there are inevitably more and more soldiers under him, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to make meritorious contributions, so they naturally strive to be the first. However, most of the troops under his command are surrendered troops, and for Yan Yingyuan, how to completely subdue them is also a big problem!

"Report, front-line battle report!" With an urgent shout, the inner attendant rushed in frantically, and said loudly with excitement on his face, "Your Majesty, General Yan has received good news, and the whole country of the Great Gorge has surrendered!" ”

"Good!" With his hand slammed on the table, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but shout excitedly. Recently, although the Taesho Kingdom has rapidly expanded its territory and its territory has increased several times, the government and the opposition are saying that Zhao Yuan is reckless and unruly, causing the people of the Dazheng Kingdom to ignore it. In fact, it comes down to one thing, money!

Fighting a war is not only about the army, but also about logistics! In the past, the Taisho Kingdom only occupied a little more than five counties, and the taxes paid by the whole country in the whole year were less than 10 million taels of silver, that is, less than 100,000 taels of gold.

But now since the expansion of the territory of Daejeongguk, it has cost tens of millions of taels of silver. If it continues to fight like this, even if there are a few more treasury treasures, it will be completely opposed!

However, Zhao Yuan tried his best to suppress all the voices of opposition from everyone, and directly took money from the inner treasury to support the front line. Everyone in the court thought that when the inner treasury ran out of money, the ambitious little emperor would know the importance of money, and would naturally stop.

And they are trying to get money to enrich the treasury, because they know that they need a lot of money to govern the territory. Once the money in the treasury is gone, it is necessary to use the money in the treasury. And if the money in the treasury is gone, then these newly built territories must be in chaos!

But they didn't expect that the inner treasury of the palace was like a cornucopia, and it couldn't be emptied, and a pen of gold was brought out, which directly made the war machine of Taisho Kingdom continue to move. Piece after piece of land was knocked down, and the territory of Taejeongkook doubled and doubled.

And these adults sadly found that once the Taisho Kingdom calmed down and governed these newly expanded territories, it seemed that the empty treasury would not be enough to plug this hole. Suddenly, the anti-war voices were higher and higher, but they were suppressed by Zhao Yuan again and again. In the end, Zhao Yuan had to move hundreds of thousands of taels of gold from the inner treasury and put them into the treasury to calm down a lot.

But now that Zhao Yuan sent Yan Yingyuan to storm the two counties on the eastern coast, these adults suddenly panicked again, and warned Zhao Yuan not to expand his territory in a hurry, and everything should be stable. On the other hand, after taking these two counties, the money in the treasury will not be enough!

However, these were useless, the army was firmly controlled by Zhao Yuan, and they couldn't interfere in the war at all. In the face of the persuasion of these courtiers, Zhao Yuan also has a headache now, and he can't tell them that his inner treasury is very full now!

Wan 30000 brought him more than 10 million taels of gold, so much money, enough for the national tax revenue of the Dazheng Kingdom for more than a hundred years, which has not yet expanded the territory, and enough to support the consumption of the Dazheng Kingdom for a long time.

But once the news that the Taisho Kingdom has so much money spreads, even those big dynasties and big sects will be red-eyed, and he will be afraid of thieves!

"Your Majesty is going to the front?" Hearing Zhao Yuan's decision, Chen An immediately replied, "The slave will go and prepare immediately!" ”

"No need, I'm going to travel lightly, just go quickly. Wait until you get over there to bring the news, so that these people in the court can stop it! ”

Thinking of the court's dissuasion, Zhao Yuan had a headache. Maybe there is a possibility of kneeling at the gate of the palace to stop him, and even if he is not stopped, the messy preparations will make people have a headache for a long time. When everything is ready and rushing to the front line, maybe a month or two will pass. It's better to sneak over and play first!

It seems that after a while, he will have to take out some money to replenish the treasury, otherwise these ministers will not be sure. However, if he has repeatedly taken out so much money, it is inevitable that he will be looked at by people with a heart, and it may be another trouble when the time comes!

"Let An Jianqing prepare, and in addition, let Mr. Zhuge accompany the army to escort!"

"Yes, the minion will go down and prepare!" (To be continued.) )
