Chapter 327: Emperor Zhaowu's refusal
Under the gaze of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, Emperor Zhaowu Liu Yu slowly shook his head and said, "The kindness of your envoy is appreciated by me." ”
"It's just that I'm still the same sentence."
"As a great monarch, I have not yet reached the point where I need to rely on the sale of my courtiers to protect the country!"
"Someone, please go back to the post station to rest!"
As soon as these words came out, nearly half of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty frowned.
They couldn't figure out why Emperor Zhaowu would refuse, could it be because he had a very personal relationship with Li Changkong?
However, now we are talking about the survival of the family and the country! What is the use of a little personal relationship?
Some people even glared at Li Changkong angrily, thinking that it was he who slandered the emperor, which led to today's ending.
Of course, there are some people who breathe a sigh of relief.
It's just that these people are all acquaintances of Li Changkong.
Such as Zhang Xun, Zhang Han, Zhu Ben, Jia Taisui, etc., as well as several six books.
When Princess Changping heard this, she couldn't help frowning, and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor of Daqian, you should know who Tuoba Tianhan is. ”
"This attack on Shanhaiguan, he is going all out!"
"Daqian has the help of my 100,000 tiger and wolf division in the Western Jin Dynasty, and he may not be able to win, let alone fight alone!"
"I also hope that His Majesty the Emperor Daqian can consider carefully for the millions of people of Daqian."
As soon as these words came out, Baiguan suddenly felt that Princess Changping was a lot more pleasing to the eye.
On the contrary, it is his own emperor, who is a little arrogant.
"Your envoy doesn't need to say much, I have made up my mind."
"Zheng Ying, send your envoy back to the post station to rest."
When Zheng Ying heard this, he immediately stood up, walked in front of Princess Changping, and said, "Your envoy, please." ”
When Princess Changping heard this, her face was expressionless, and she turned around and left.
She didn't believe that Liu Yu could really ignore the millions of Li people, and relying on them to fight against the Northern Yuan was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
It's just that you want to sit on the ground and reduce the pay.
In that case, let's spend it.
After all, the eager party now is not their Western Jin Dynasty!
After Princess Changping left, the civil and military officials and Emperor Zhaowu argued for a long time in the Zhengde Palace, but in the end they broke up unhappily.
Although Emperor Zhaowu Liu Yu won the support of most of the courtiers, in the face of such a matter of life and death, there were still many officials who united to resist him.
After the early dynasty, Li Changkong walked out of the Zhengde Palace, but he did not rush back to the house, but walked straight to the warm pavilion.
When he arrived, several familiar faces in the Warm Pavilion were already in the list.
They are Emperor Zhaowu, Zhang Han, Zhu Ben and Jia Taisui.
It was Zhang Xun, the three elders of the cabinet and the head of Wuxun, who was not there!
Obviously, even if Liu Yu ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, the most trusted people are still this group of people.
On the other hand, although the three elders of the cabinet and Zhang Xun are still in high positions, they have not won Liu Yu's trust.
"Lao Li is here, take a seat." Emperor Zhaowu said with the same title as before.
Hearing this, Li Changkong nodded, and after taking his seat, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said: "This time the Northern Yuan Dynasty is coming, if we don't have the help of the Western Jin Dynasty, it will indeed be more auspicious." ”
"That can't be helped, just now in the early court, you didn't hear the conditions mentioned by Princess Changping."
"Hexi Land or Lao Li, which one can let you out?" Emperor Zhaowu didn't have a good airway.
Bang!
Zhu Ben slapped the table directly and said angrily: "Isn't it the Beiyuan dog?" I really don't believe it, without them, we wouldn't be able to! ”
"Just do it with a real knife! We brothers are shoulder to shoulder, and we haven't been afraid of anyone over the years. ”
"I agree!" Jia Taisui was angry and concisely expressed his views.
"Lao Zhang, you haven't said anything." Emperor Zhaowu looked at Zhang Han and said.
"Your Majesty has a saying that is very right, I am a big worker, and I have not yet reached the point where I have to sell my courtiers to survive."
"If it really reaches that point, Daqian is not far from extinction!"
"Fight with Beiyuan! How did the Western Qin rise from a small country in the bitter cold of the northwest? Without him, only Zhan'er! ”
"Dignity is not earned, it is made!"
Zhang Han has always regarded himself as a scholar, but today's remarks are more extreme than any martial arts, and they are even a little different from him.
When Li Changkong heard this, he sighed slightly, and a trace of warmth couldn't help but swell in his heart.
The brothers said these words more or less to appease his heart.
"In that case, let's fight." Li Changkong's brows stretched, and his eyes gradually became firm.
"As the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first! When the two countries are at war, the most important thing is food and grass! ”
"Tuoba Heavenly Khan's army of hundreds of thousands, Chen Bing is outside the Shanhai Pass, every day people eat horses and chew food, all of them are grain!"
"We don't have to fight back the Northern Yuan head-on and exhaust their food, it's also a victory!"
"And at this point, we have a natural advantage!"
"Don't forget the hybrid rice that my apprentice bred!"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone present suddenly brightened.
Yes, compared with the Northern Yuan, they have insufficient soldiers and horses, insufficient generals, and siege equipment may not be as sophisticated as the other party.
But there is only one thing they have the advantage in - food!
After the hybrid rice matures, looking at the countries of the four directions, including the Northern Yuan, there is no one who can compare with the grain and grass of Daqian!
"Good strategy! Then we just need to hold on, and after this winter, Tuoba Tianhan will retreat! Liu Yu said excitedly.
"Don't even have to wait until winter, Tuoba Heavenly Khan will be forced to retreat under the pressure of the Northern Yuan tribes!" Zhang Han's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he expressed his opinion: "The people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are different from the people of my Han family, they live on nomadic herding and never prepare food in winter. ”
"So every autumn and winter, I always go south to plunder in preparation for the winter."
"But this time, they didn't grab much grain in the Daqian frontier, and the Western Jin Dynasty and Dachu were first-class powers, so they must have gained very little. The only thing they could grab food was the Western Jin Dynasty. ”
"But the monarch of the Western Jin Dynasty has always been timid, and he hoarded a large number of soldiers in the northern border."
"Every year, it will only symbolically snatch a little grain from Beiyuan, a lot, but definitely not much!"
"So the food of the Northern Yuan is actually very limited, as long as we hold on for a while, this mighty army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty will be self-defeating!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present suddenly relaxed.
It turned out that the situation of the great cadres was not as grim as they imagined.
The King of Zhongshan can't beat Tuoba Tianhan, but it's not that he can't fight at all.
If Tuoba Heavenly Khan can really conquer Shanhaiguan with devastating decay, why wait until today?
So as long as they stick to it, they are as stable as old dogs.
Then it is not difficult to get through this crisis!
"But even so, the preparation must be made."
"Over the years, the Marquis of Wuling's mansion has also earned a lot of silver in business, so I will take it all out and use it as military expenses."
"In addition, on the grain and grass side, I will also work with Huang Li, the head of the household, to urge the inferior disciples to prepare as soon as possible."
"The most important thing is conscription, that is, no matter how much there is in terms of military salaries and grain and grass, it is in vain if there are no soldiers, and we still need to work together on this matter!" Li Changkong said.
