Zhu Qiyu hummed and said, "Chen Xun." ”

Chen Xun, the head of the household department, was listed, "The minister is here." ”

Zhu Qiyu said: "In the treasury of the household department, can there be any surplus money?" ”

Chen Xun hesitated and remained silent.

No money.

But His Royal Highness the Prince's achievements are in front of him, and at this time, let the household department allocate money, Chen Xun really doesn't know how to refuse, he actually wants to allocate money to the East Palace Military Research Institute.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Zhu Qiyu's face was gloomy, "The household department has no money? ”

Chen Xun hummed.

Your Majesty, don't you know that the taxes collected by the household department this year are all used in the armies of Hang Yu, Zhu Yong, Zhao Fu, and Lu Zhong who are stationed in the northern Guancheng.

From the very beginning, there was no budget for the expenses of the East Palace Young Army.

There is actually money.

But if it is allocated to the young army of Donggong, it means that Hang Yu, Zhu Yong, Zhao Fu or Lu Zhong, the four lines of soldiers and horses, have a road of soldiers and horses in logistics, military salaries, grain and grass, which will be greatly affected.

Zhu Qiyu quickly thought of the reason.

looked at the ministers, "Let's see what's going on, the young army of the East Palace is attacking with power, if the logistics cannot be guaranteed, we are all sinners of the Ming Dynasty, if we can let the young army sweep the front line, as the prince said, the Mobei tribes will not dare to have the thief heart of the southern invasion in two or three years." ”

Yu Qian, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, must express his position at this time, and said: "Weichen thinks that the use of other soldiers and horses can be reduced, and the pension prepared for the fallen soldiers can also be misappropriated. ”

When the ministers heard this, they wanted to cut the cost of other soldiers and horses?

This operation can be yes.

However, it was not safe for fear that this would cause a mutiny.

Lu Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came out, "In fact, Weichen thinks that Zhu Yong, Zhao Fu, and Lu Zhong should not have any reduction in military spending, at least not for now, and it is necessary to stabilize the morale of the army, but it is indeed necessary to ensure the logistics supply of the young army." ”

Not to mention that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fought a stunning victory through the ages, even if he loses the battle, he must ensure the logistics of the young army.

Because that's the Prince of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Qiyu: "......"

Lu Yu said a long list, but it didn't seem to say anything.

Lu Yu continued: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a battle report to be sent to Gyeonggi urgently, I think it will not be a few days, and the crossbow Wen will also explain the war in Hami, since the Jungger department has been beaten back to the grassland, the Dulbert department will also be swept by the young army, and Wei Chen thinks that the border defense in the Hami area can be handed over to the crossbow Wen in a few days." In this case, Hang Yu's department only needs to leave a small number of troops to be responsible for the logistics supply, response, and tail sweeping of the Donggong Young Army, and the rest of the main forces can be withdrawn to Gyeonggi, and the household department can allocate the military expenses allocated to Hang Yu's department to the Military Research Institute, so that the Military Research Institute can work overtime to ensure the supply of firearms and ammunition for the young army! ”

Hang Min, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, immediately came out of the ranks, "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

Yu Qian also seconded.

Chen Ruyan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, seconded the proposal.

Hubu Shangshu Chen Xun took a look, okay, since you all said so, if the Ming soldiers of the Hang Yu Department mutiny or something because of this matter, I can't blame my Hubu.

It was also seconded.

Zhu Qiyu said: "This matter has been agreed, Chen Shangshu, how much money was originally going to be allocated to Hang Yu's department?" ”

Chen Xundao: "100,000 taels have been allocated, and there are still 300,000 taels, which need to be allocated in batches, which includes the supply of grain and grass, armor, war horses and ordnance of the Hang Yu Department, as well as military salaries and pensions in the later period. ”

Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but complain, "Hang Yubu spent 100,000 taels, and he didn't achieve any results in Hamiwei for so long, but as a result, the prince's young army ran over, and it only cost 50,000 taels to achieve such a huge result. ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was stunned.

Just now, everyone was only happy and ignored what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said in the battle report.

"This battle cost nearly 50,000 taels of silver"!

More than 13,000 enemies were annihilated.

And it's a cavalry.

The firearms and ammunition consumed by the Donggong Young Army were only less than 50,000 taels!

50,000 taels ......

The border army of the northern defense line of the Ming Dynasty, even if two rice is missed in a meal, it is more than that!

50,000 taels defeated the allied army of the Jungger tribes.

Those 500,000 taels, don't you have to sweep the entire Mobei!

Sweeping Mobei?!

At this moment, whether it was a civilian official or a military general, as long as it was a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, his blood was boiling.

Even Chen Ruyan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, felt extremely happy.

Such a Ming ......

Such a young army......

It fills people with infinite reverie and hope!

Only one person is silly in his heart.

My nephew went on his first expedition and didn't learn anything, but he learned the stinky problem of making money.

As the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the order of the Donggong Military Research Institute, Hang Min should not be too aware of the petty nature of the young army, and the ammunition he brought when he went out was only 500,000 Dongfeng rifle bullets, 3,000 Dongfeng mortar bullets, and 100,000 Dongfeng light machine gun bullets, which were full of calculations and 20,000 taels of silver.

His Royal Highness dared to say 50,000 taels.

But how could Hang Min expose this matter, as soon as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this, the household department had to allocate funds according to this amount, and the Military Research Institute would have more money for firearms research and development projects.

As for the household department, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies or the Military Department afterwards, and even His Majesty sent someone to check the accounts, it was very easy to solve.

Just make a fake ledger.

Anyway, the R&D and production of firearms is a gold-swallowing beast, and everyone can see it.

Especially in terms of research and development, only the senior management of the Military Research Institute and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know which projects have been invested, and where do others know, they only know that the Donggong Military Research Institute has swallowed millions of taels of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince over the years.

When the rebellion against Fujian was quelled, the money earned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already been smashed into it.

When the funds were at their tightest, they also asked His Majesty to embezzle them from the internal carrier.

Therefore, the prince made a false report, and Hang Min would only fully cooperate.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu felt that his son might have made a false report, but he and Hang Min had a thought, and hurriedly said: "50,000 taels can pacify the Zhun Geer tribes, my Ming Dynasty spends money on the northern defense line every year, and it is often a million taels. After the next court meeting, the household department immediately allocated 200,000 yuan to the Donggong Military Research Institute. Hang Min ordered the Military Research Institute to go all out to ensure that there would be no problems with the ammunition supply of the Prince Young Army's war in Mobei. ”

The ministers are commanded.

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath, "Ladies and gentlemen, from now on, the development of firearms in the young army is the way of the future of my Ming Xiong Division, pass on my will, the military department, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and even the rest of the Seven Qing Secretaries, each of them pondered deeply, how to restructure my Ming army, I hope that within ten years, my Ming Xiong Division will be an invincible division like the young army of the East Palace!" ”

I have a son in my family.

In one fell swoop, it opened a new chapter for Daming.
