Turpan harassed three or four times, and he had seriously slapped Dawei in the face, and such behavior was unforgivable.

The imperial court convened an emergency meeting to discuss the matter.

Most of them said that they gathered an army, wiped out Turu, and made it a direct subordinate territory of Great Wei.

A small part of it means that the Great Wei is a big country, a state of etiquette, and it is unreasonable to say that war is war.

"We should send an envoy to the city to reprimand Turpan's bad behavior, telling them to stop it immediately, and the two countries can still have friendly exchanges in the future.

Of course, the troops must also be assembled, and they must be ready to go into battle at any time to strike a severe blow at Turpan. ”

"Ridiculous! Standing at the head of the city and scolding them on the street, quarreling with the shrew vegetable market? What nonsense to talk to them, directly send troops to level Turpan. ”

"Alright, alright." Li Xingchen twisted his eyebrows, "You guys are arguing to death, I decided to send people to scold while gathering the army, and you don't have to fight each other." ”

Li Xingchen finally made an agreement on integration, which was agreed by the ministers.

The current Great Wei State is rich and strong, and if the surrounding countries want to invade, they must weigh their own strength.

As long as it is not united and violated together, Dawei is completely fearless. This is also the reason why most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty fought the main battle.

If you don't fight the main battle, it is to stand as a memorial arch, and you want to show the demeanor of the ceremonial state of the big country, but it is not necessary at all.

In the end, the three provinces and six departments were left behind, and the rest of the people retreated.

"Your Majesty, the three armies attacked, the grain and grass went first, and the minister thought that the grain should be prepared first." Tobe Shangshu said.

The crowd nodded in agreement.

Soldiers and horses go first before they move grain and grass, and whether they fight or not, food is the primary material and must be fully prepared.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to ask for war, and the fight in Turpan will be lost." The military department Shangshu stepped forward.

He was the most fiercely disputed by the main battle faction, and he wanted to accumulate military achievements to stabilize Shangshu's position, and the battle was a rare opportunity, and he didn't want to miss it.

"You want to fight?" Li Xingchen looked over in surprise.

The military department has been sitting comfortably in a position for the past few years, eating, drinking and having fun, and now he wants to send troops?

Li Xingchen really didn't expect it.

However, the personal ability of the military department Shangshu is still worthy of recognition, otherwise he would not be able to do this position.

I guess I was afraid that my military merits would not be enough, and I would be dismissed for a trivial matter in the future, so I was in a hurry.

The military department Shangshu nodded, "Turpan is high, and it is not easy for Great Wei to reach the top in the Central Plains, but over the years, Great Wei has always secretly trained soldiers to reach the top.

However, there are few people, and it is very difficult to attack Turpan in all directions, so Lao Chen suggested that a fire attack could be carried out in the middle of the mountain, giving Turpan a painful blow, which can also be said to be a warning.

Although the artillery carriage developed by His Majesty has not yet been interviewed, Lao Chen believes that His Majesty must have a long range and powerful as you said, and it can be used in this battle and become famous with one shot. ”

Regarding the topography and climate of Turpan, the ministers present all knew about it, so when Li Zhen was in power, he secretly trained a group of 5,000 light horsemen.

Although the number of people is small, it can be equipped with advanced weapons to catch Turpan off guard.

Li Xingchen nodded, "The idea is very good, but almost, giving an unexpected blow is not the goal, the purpose is to make them pay a heavy price."

The artillery cart was placed on the mountainside and bombarded upward, which seemed to be very awesome, but in fact, the base camps of all sides of the country threw rolling stones and fire barrels down, which were not blocked by the artillery truck, and the enemy was injured by 1,000 and suffered 800 self-losses.

It's better to think of luring them all down, annihilating them all in one fell swoop, and then paying compensation. ”

War makes money, Li Xingchen had the idea of using war to collect the gold and silver of various countries, which is faster than any business.

Combining money and war can change the drawbacks of war that drag down the country, and on the contrary, it will become stronger and stronger.

"Reparations?" Everyone was stunned, "Your Majesty, how much do you want them to pay?" ”

Since ancient times, the defeated side has generally ceded land and paid compensation, and there is almost no demand for money.

The main reason for starting the war is also to expand the territory, and it is rare for the monarch to have money, and this Li Xingchen's idea is really different from others.

"The specific amount of compensation is calculated according to the capitation." Li Xingchen thought for a while and said, "By the way, it depends on how much land they have conquered, so that (this chapter is not over!) )

Chapter 375: Decision

They ransom with money. ”

Turpan's aggression was bound to go to war, and from now on the Great Wei would not only have to make money on trade, but also use the war to obtain gold and silver.

Take Turpan as a pilot to see if you can get money, or rather die than lose money.

It is best to use the former, so that the national pension system of Dawei and all national welfare can be upgraded by several grades.

Everything needs money, and the meager money of the royal industry alone can't sustain a few cities, and it is not good to live a life.

Since the country has no money, it will rob it from other countries.

The ministers didn't seem to understand, and they couldn't keep up with Li Xingchen's thinking, but they all nodded one after another.

The decisions made by His Majesty cannot be changed, not to mention that every decision he has made over the years has been a good result, and there is no reason to oppose it at all.

"Then Your Majesty, the minister will go and prepare." The military department is still the book.

Li Xingchen waved his hand, "Don't worry, I haven't decided to let you go." ”

The military department Shangshu immediately showed a bitter gourd face, "Your Majesty, just give the old minister a chance." ”

"Your Majesty, with the support of advanced weapons, the minister thinks that the military department can fight." The prime minister thought for a moment and said.

Li Xingchen pondered for a moment and agreed, "If the prime minister of a country has spoken for you, then I will allow you to go to the battlefield."

Don't think about it, general, be a pawn as a pioneer, and go to the test. ”

The military department Shangshu felt that the vanguard was a good choice, and when the general asked for more things, he was not capable.

After all, the military department is an all-round development, which is different from the general's specialization in the battlefield.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The head of the military department is still described.

The combat power of the Great Wei is here, sending troops means victory, and military merits are in vain.

Li Xingchen smiled, "Don't think that you can win with strong soldiers and advanced weapons, always remember one sentence, underestimating the enemy is the beginning of defeat, you must not take it lightly, narrow victory and complete victory are two concepts." ”

Da Wei is very powerful, making the Manchu Dynasty arrogant and impetuous, this is not the result that Li Xingchen wants to see.

He hoped that they would always maintain a heart of awe, and that no matter what they did, they would be down-to-earth and pluck the perfect fruit, rather than relying on the soldiers of the army and powerful weapons in exchange for heavy victories.

"Your Majesty will follow your majesty's teachings." The ministers said respectfully, indicating that they understood.

The meeting that followed was all about the details.

After the meeting was dismissed, the military department began to prepare.

At the same time, the representatives of various countries are also complaining in various ways.

Li Xingchen's guess was not wrong, Turpan sent troops to harass, not really to fight, but to have another conspiracy.
