Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1834
"Look, if you don't count the frontier army, the equipment of the frontier army will be eliminated more slowly, and all good things must be kept close to the main force, right? Only counting the sixteen guards directly under the Central Committee of the Tang Dynasty, the total strength is more than 40..."

Listening to Fang Jun muttering about settling accounts, Mrs. Su Woming felt that her liver was trembling.

Oh my god, how come the Tang people have so many troops?

There are only 40 people in the sixteen central guards. If you add the frontier troops from all over the country, the total will not be less than one million...

What is the concept of a million troops?
Counting all the panting Japanese as one, probably not more than a million...

His first reaction was that Fang Jun was talking nonsense, trying to scare himself, but when he thought that even the ferocious Turks in the Tang Dynasty ran around all over the grassland and fled to the desert in the west and the ice and snow in the north, he knew that this number might not be compiled to scare him. my own.

Thinking about the past, Emperor Huangji, Prince Katsuragi and others still dreamed of fighting Datang from time to time, and if they could win, they would be able to attack the mainland... He broke out in a cold sweat.

With such a comparison of national power, it is not an exaggeration to say that Mount Tai is overwhelming, right?

Fang Jun's calculations are still going on.

"...Among the 40 troops, one-fifth of the weapons need to be maintained and repaired every year, and about one-third of the weapons will be eliminated because they cannot be repaired or have no repair value... Among them, There are about 130 swords, 1000 spears, less iron armor and leather armor, and 350 sets in total... The price they sold to the Ainu people was [-] swords and [-] spears. , [-] guan of leather armor, [-] or [-] guan of iron armor... So if the Japanese state plans to buy the ordnance eliminated by the Tang army every year, it will probably need about [-] million guan every year..."

Fang Jun counted his energy, looked up at Su Wo Mingtai, was startled by his expression, and hurriedly said: "Are you listening?"

Su Womingtai's cheeks twitched, I was listening, but I was just shocked...

350 guan? !
His face turned green when he heard this number!
When Emperor Huangji was in power, what was the annual fiscal revenue of Wa Kingdom? 50 guan!
The Suwo family is the top wealthy family in the Wa country, they have lived extravagantly for hundreds of years, how much wealth is the Suwo family?Real estate, houses and other valuable things are counted, and the estimated value is only 100 million!
The wealth accumulated by successive emperors and stolen by Fang Jun was only about one million guan, of which silk of ordinary value was burned to ashes, glass and porcelain were smashed to pieces...

Now you tell me that Datang eliminated 350 million guns a year?

"Huh... huh? Oh..." Shocked and embarrassed at the same time, Su Womingtai hurriedly said, "Let's talk about this. The most urgent thing right now is to ask Lord Hou to send troops quickly to help me repel the Ainu people."

Fang Jun pondered and said: "It's not impossible to send troops, but look at the conditions that your father promised to you earlier, but none of them have been fulfilled. As the commander, although I have the right to order, I can't let my subordinates Erlang fled to the battlefield, but in the end he couldn't get anything, right? That kind of low morale and unstable morale is beyond the power of the superiors."

Su Woming is completely convinced, this man is almost invincible with his face, who said just now that all the gold looted from the palace is rewarded to the soldiers under his command?

No good, it is impossible to move the Tang nobleman in front of him. Fortunately, although this person is a bit shameless, he is still trustworthy...

Su Woming said helplessly: "If Lord Hou has any request, please ask for instructions. The Su family will definitely agree to it within their capabilities."

If you want the horse to run, how can you not feed the horse?
What's more, Tang Jun's galloping BMW horse...

Fang Jun sat there, his black face was slightly flushed, he looked a little shy, rubbed his hands together, and said, "How dare you do this? It seems that the official is taking advantage of the fire to rob you. It is inevitable that you have underestimated your character..."

Su Woming is too speechless, aren't you?

Fortunately, Fang Jun didn't intend to wait for him to reply, and continued: "Since my brother Su insisted, but this official is disrespectful, otherwise I will be misunderstood by my brother Su and look down on you, then it will be wronged."

Mrs. Su Woming really wanted to say: Come on, look down on me, I'm not angry...

Fang Jun said to himself: "Look at this, since Nanbajin has been established as a trading port between the two countries, there will be a large number of Tang people coming to do business, so the Tang Dynasty must send troops to station here to protect the lives of Tang merchants. Safe. But you also know that sending troops to assist the Su family this time is actually against the national policy of the Tang Dynasty, let alone sending troops without permission from the Zhengshitang... So, if we can get the support of the Wa Kingdom, It will allow the official to reduce some punishments in front of the emperor."

This guy has been laying the groundwork for a long time but before he got to the point, Su Woming couldn't help it, and said: "Master Hou was able to lead the army to help, and everyone in Suwo's ​​family is grateful for your kindness. Just tell me what kind of support is needed to let you be in the university. Does His Majesty the Tang Emperor have an explanation in front of him?"

Horizontal is also a knife, vertical is also a knife, it is better to be more straightforward.

Fang Jun said with emotion: "Your step is indeed a hero of the Wa Kingdom, with extraordinary bearing and righteousness! Since your step is so generous, I have no embarrassment. In this way, the military expenses of the Tang army stationed in Nanbajin will be provided by the Wa Kingdom. , how about making up your mind if you are not satisfied?"

Tang Jun... military expenditure?
Su Mingtai never expected that Fang Jun would propose such an exorbitant condition, and come to Japan with you to occupy the territory of Japan, and force Japan to do business. I don’t know how many taxes and taxes are lost every year. In turn, Japan has to bear the burden The military expenses of your garrison?
Too shameless!
He was almost stunned, but he finally managed to resist Fang Jun's shameless behavior one after another. He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked nervously, "I don't know how much the Tang Dynasty plans to garrison troops, and how much is the military expenditure?"

Fang Jun said casually: "You don't need too many troops, [-] is enough. For military expenses, just follow the minimum supply standard of the Tang army, and [-] guan per year will do."

Su Mingtai swallowed her saliva.

I am...

Ten thousand garrisons?
If the [-] garrisons were allowed to stay in Nambatsu, as long as there was any discord between the two countries, they would be able to reach Asuka in half a day and razed the Imperial Palace of the Wa Kingdom to the ground...

Su Gaming said with a bitter face, "This is absolutely impossible! There is a saying in the Han people, which was said by a great hero, it is called, 'How can others snore and sleep on the side of the couch', Nambatsu is very close to Asuka, How can so many troops be stationed at will? With the bravery of the Tang army, three hundred is enough!"

Fang Jun's eyelids twitched, mother, have you ever seen a bargainer, but never seen such a hard bargain, directly from ten thousand to three hundred?
This kid's shameless face is very my style...

"How about three hundred? At that time, there will be hundreds of merchants who will come to Japan to do business, and there will be a stockpile of goods worth several million pennies. If anything goes wrong, will your country be responsible for compensation?"

Su Woming is too sweaty, even if he sold it to the imperial court of the Japanese kingdom, it would not be worth millions...

"five hundred!"

"Five thousand, just for the sake of your Brother Su, otherwise I won't budge!"

"One thousand! Up to one thousand!"

"Three thousand! You are enough, I treat you as a friend, but you treat me as a peddler in the market? No matter how verbose you are, do you believe that I will turn against you?"

"Two thousand! This is the final bottom line, not even one more!"

"Okay, that's it!"

Therefore, the garrison of Nanbajin was determined to be two thousand...

In fact, if you really want to destroy the Japanese kingdom, two thousand Tang army elites equipped with heavy armor and thunderbolts are enough. There is no need to fight in the field, and they will drive straight in and approach Asuka, and blow it up in minutes...

Of course, destroying the Wa country is useless except to satisfy the obsession in the hearts of the travelers.

The Japanese country is here, and the Japanese people are also here. If you kill the emperor, there will be countless emperors who will stand up. For the Tang Dynasty, where many rich lands in China have not yet been developed, the colonization of the world is simply a fool's behavior. My own home is not neat, why occupy other people's land?
It only needs to occupy some strategic locations, which can form a deterrent to all countries, and then use commercial means to grab a lot of wealth, enrich it to various places in the country, complete the construction of infrastructure, complete the financial system, promote commercial development, and improve the living standards of the people. Vigorously develop education for all.

If capitalism can be gradually perfected as soon as possible, it will be a blessing...

Of course, in this land where Confucian culture has been immersed for thousands of years, it is actually difficult for capitalism to develop and grow. The idea of ​​"a gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness, and a villain is a metaphor for profit" is deeply rooted and has long been a universal value. It is not just money. Make it change course.
