Chapter 299: Calculating
During the time when Li Yuan's army was stationed in the south of the Yangtze River, almost all of the food and drink were provided by the common people, and at the same time, they also reached out to those merchants and rich people to ask for it, and they originally wanted to bring it back to Chang'an, but they did not expect that in the end, it became the Great Sui.
According to rough estimates, in addition to a large amount of grain, grass, weapons and horses, the materials seized from Li Yuan's army this time also included 23 million taels of silver.
In this way, it is natural to enrich the treasury.
"No wonder in ancient times, everyone wanted to fight, and fighting was indeed the best opportunity to make a windfall......" After hearing these numbers from the mouths of Sima Dejiao and others, Yang Guang couldn't help but sigh.
"Only by winning the war can you make a windfall, but if you lose the war, the impact on the country will be unprecedentedly huge." In the crowd, an official reminded.
"I naturally understand this." Yang Guang rolled his eyes: "Who wants to lose the battle without anything?" Besides, even if you know that you will win the war, if it doesn't help the country, you can't fight, after all, the war together means that there will be countless good men who shed blood and sacrifice, as an emperor, how can I be so indifferent and ruthless? ”
Yang Guang's words undoubtedly stunned the ministers present.
It was the first time they knew that Yang Guang was so benevolent.
The next time is to start talking about the reward for meritorious deeds.
But all those who participated in this battle were rewarded, from generals to ordinary soldiers, they all left their names in the merit book, and Yang Guang even issued an order to allow this group of soldiers who returned triumphantly to recuperate for a period of time, and if there was another war, they would not be arranged to fight again.
According to Yang Guang's original intention, he originally wanted to take care of these people who won the battle for the Great Sui, however, he didn't expect that as soon as this order came out, Sima Dejiao was the first to stand up and object: "Your Majesty, I, a Great Sui soldier, don't need to rest!" ”
"Forehead ......"
This scene obviously caught Yang Guang off guard and was stunned on the spot.
At this time, Sima Dejiao said again: "The news of the founding of Li Shimin in Chang'an, the last general has already learned that if Your Majesty has a war to arrange, the last general can go out again at any time!" ”
"Right now, our army has just won the battle, and it is the time when the momentum is at its highest, even in the face of the Tang Dynasty, it will not show the slightest fear!"
The words can be described as sonorous and powerful.
All the generals present couldn't help but be in awe of Sima Dejiao, including those civil servants, who were also impressed by him. This is the momentum that Generalissimo of the Great Sui should have! With such a fierce general, which enemy would dare to rashly invade the Great Sui?
As for Luo Cheng and Qin Shubao, they admired Sima Dejiao even more.
I think that at the beginning, when they first came to the Great Sui, they thought that the Great Sui had no fierce generals, even if Sima Dejia and Lai Hu'er and others would be difficult to enter their eyes, but this time they went to the south of the Yangtze River with Sima Dejia, but they saw the extraordinary combat power of the Great Sui.
In particular, Sima Dejiao showed unprecedented bravery.
On the battlefield, he has an extremely amazing suppressive power, and even personally led the army into the enemy formation, coming seven in and seven out. While beheading the enemy general, it is even more unscathed. This kind of strength and courage, no matter anyone sees it, I am afraid that it will be followed by admiration.
At this moment, Yang Guang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, couldn't cry or laugh when he heard the words: "When did I say that there will be a war recently?" Do you have the power of prophets? ”
"Huh? Li Shimin founded the country, don't we check and balance it? In the main hall, many generals widened their eyes, and they couldn't figure out Yang Guang's thoughts.
Yang Guang looked indifferent: "He founded the country, that's his business, what does it have to do with our Great Sui?" ”
"Your Majesty, aren't you worried that Li Shimin will come to attack Jiangdu?" Laihu'er couldn't help it and interjected.
"I wasn't worried."
Yang Guang was very confident: "It's okay if Li Shimin doesn't come, if he dares to come to Jiangdu, I will have no return!" ”
"Huh?"
The civil and military officials present were all shocked by Yang Guang's confident attitude, especially the invincible spirit he showed, which was simply amazing, if it weren't for their very good understanding of the national conditions of the Great Sui, they would have almost believed it.
Pei Yun couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly: "Your Majesty, if the Great Sui wants to defeat the Tang Dynasty, it is difficult, at least now, it is absolutely impossible." ”
"Who said that?"
Yang Guang narrowed his eyes, glanced at Pei Yun, and said with a light smile: "Then you can wait and see if I, Da Sui, can defeat Da Tang, of course, if I do this, then those who dare to question Da Sui will also be punished accordingly." ”
"This ......" Pei Yun's neck shrank, the so-called gentleman has no jokes, Yang Guang dropped such a sentence in the court, he didn't dare not be afraid, in case he was dismissed or demoted because of this, it was better to find a piece of tofu and kill him.
can only sneer: "Your Majesty, the minister never dared to question the national strength of the Great Sui, as Your Majesty said, the Great Tang Dynasty is far from being the opponent of the Great Sui......"
"It's really commendable that Aiqing can have this confidence in my Great Sui." Yang Guang smiled slightly, his eyes full of satisfaction with Pei Yun.
As for the others, they all looked at each other at the moment.
Because they don't know where Yang Guang's confidence comes from.
But in the past year, Yang Guang has indeed brought too many surprises to the Great Sui, not to mention anything else, the Great Sui can develop to such a point today, Yang Guang is in it, at least ninety percent of the role, in a word, if there is no Yang Guang, the Great Sui would have been destroyed.
And Yang Guang's impression to everyone is that the number of hole cards is far beyond their imagination.
Whenever everyone thinks that Yang Guang is at the end of the road, he will have a new hole card showed, and Yang Guang is very good at hiding hole cards, unless he takes the initiative to show it, no one can know the existence of hole cards in advance.
As for now......
Looking at Yang Guang's appearance of pointing out the country and eating the Tang Dynasty, everyone couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, could it be that for Li Shimin's establishment of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, His Majesty already had the hole cards to deal with?
If this is the case, then this question can be reasonably explained.
Thinking about the banquet a few days ago, when he learned that Li Shimin killed his father and brother, changed his country name to Tang, and proclaimed himself Tang Taizong, His Majesty's face did not change and everything was as usual......
At least be shocked, right?
In this way, the series of major events that are happening at the moment are all in His Majesty's calculations?
As soon as they thought of this, all the eyes of everyone present widened, and cold sweat oozed uncontrollably, and Yang Guang in their sight seemed to be getting taller and taller, more and more terrifying......
