Chapter 1162 Finale (10)

Fu Ciyi said bluntly: "Beiqi saw that my father had just ascended the throne, so they came to Dajing to test the waters under the pretext of marriage. Now that they have increased their troops to 200,000, their intentions are obvious."

Queen Mother Yun said nervously, "Wen Yu, please tell me in detail."

"Beiqi is too far north, which is not conducive to agricultural development. They have been coveting our Dajing land for a long time. This increase in troops shows that they intend to fight hard." Fu Ciyi frowned, "But I didn't expect that a vassal state would dare to take the opportunity to start a rebellion."

The Empress Dowager said in a deep voice: "The late emperor passed the throne to my younger brother. In the eyes of the world, it was the decline of the Dajing royal family and national strength, so they took the opportunity to make trouble."

As she spoke, she looked at Long Yi solemnly: "Emperor, your brother has entrusted the country to you, you must protect it well!"

Long Yi stood up.

Qiao Wanyou and her son and daughter-in-law quickly stood up.

"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely protect this great country!" Long Yi bowed deeply.

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Then let those small countries see who has the final say in this world!"

Long Yi said: "My son needs to discuss this matter with the court officials and take the lead."

Having said that, he walked away.

Fu Ciyi followed him: "Father."

"Come with me." Long Yi kept walking.

The father and son left in a hurry, and Leng Ying followed quickly.

The Empress Dowager turned her gaze towards Qiao Wanyou and Yan Funing: "Please sit down. They are going to discuss the matter of accepting the war with the court officials. Although we are not going to the former court, we can also talk about this matter."

Qiao Wanyou sighed, slowly sat down, and murmured: "Bei Mo and Ali and the others..."

Yan Funing held her mother-in-law's arm and said, "Don't worry, mother. They are very smart." After a slight pause, she sighed quietly, "Northern Qi has a strong animal husbandry industry and produces many war horses. Such cavalry is also very powerful."

She raised her eyes and said, "I want to take out 100,000 taels of silver to buy war horses so that I can deal with the cavalry from other countries."

"Where did you get so much money?" Concubine Ling frowned.

Girl, isn't it good for you to keep your money for yourself?
"Grandma Ling, I have money." Yan Funing smiled slightly, "I own the entire East Third Street and the Fufeng Restaurant. The money I make can be used to defend my country. I think it's worth it."

"Good child!" Queen Mother Yun took Yan Funing's hand and hugged her in her arms, "I knew you were kind-hearted, just like your grandmother."

The Queen Mother also nodded: "She is a very good girl!"

"Let's not sit idle, take out some of my private money."

As I was talking, I realized that Empress Dowager Yun and Concubine Ling had lived in the cold palace for so many years...

"You two probably don't have it. It doesn't matter if you don't have it. I do have it."

"I have some too. Although not much, it's a token of my appreciation." Qiao Wanyou said.

"The Queen will take care of this matter. With the Queen taking the lead, the concubines in the harem will not dare not take it out." The Queen Mother said, "When they were in the Prince of Jin's mansion, I think they got a lot of gold, silver and treasures."

Queen Mother Yun: "Yes, when the time comes, let's spread the word and have the Queen handle this matter herself. The Queen's legitimate daughter-in-law can all contribute 100,000 yuan, so even if the others contribute less, they can't contribute a little, right?"

Ling Taipin: "There are also ladies, so it is safest for the Queen to take charge of this matter."

Qiao Wanyou responded: "I obey your command!"
-
The matter was urgent, and many important officials were summoned to the palace for discussion.

After everyone discussed it, King Cheng spoke up: "From what we have learned so far, there are already seven vassal states. I am afraid that other vassal states are already waiting and watching. If they all want to get a piece of the pie, then our Dajing's situation will be even more difficult."

The Minister of War also said: "I am afraid that in the future, those small countries will think that we are easy to bully. We must act quickly."

Yan Cheng also said: "In my opinion, we must first defeat Bei Qi. This will serve as a warning to others and deter other countries to a certain extent."

Fu Ciyi concluded: "What you said is very true. Currently, Northern Qi has increased its troops to 200,000. General Pang and General Yan only have 80,000 troops combined. I am afraid they will be difficult to deal with. The most urgent task is to send reinforcements, deal with the seven vassal states, and prepare for war with other countries. In short, soldiers, troops, military pay and food are all problems."

"Your Highness Prince Rui is absolutely right!" The old prime minister bowed to Long Yi, "I think at this critical moment, can we reuse the soldiers of the Ling and Lou families?"

Several ministers who were previously on good terms with the Ling family chimed in. Long Yi's face darkened, but he said nothing.

He would never reuse the soldiers of the Ling family again.

As for the Lou family, they are of the same ilk as the Ling family, so naturally he would not use them anymore.

But judging from the current situation, there are indeed few soldiers in the court who can go into battle and kill the enemy.

"The Southwest Palace and the Pang family should be able to dispatch them to deal with the difficulties in the west." He said, but he was still unsure.

Just as Brother Cheng Huang said, what if there is a small country in the southwest that has evil intentions.

For a while, the problems of the soldiers alone made him overwhelmed.

"As for the military strength, based on the statistics of the existing military strength, we have announced the conscription of soldiers for the entire Dajing."

Hopefully this will help you cope with the difficulties.

Fu Ciyi said: "Father, even if we can recruit troops in a short period of time, the combat capability of the new soldiers is almost non-existent. I think we should first solve the problem of the generals who will lead the troops."

"Yes, with a general, we can sharpen our swords before the battle and train new soldiers." King Cheng agreed.

"Start recommending generals to fight today."

Long Yi made the decision. After discussing for a while, they still had not come up with a specific plan, and his face began to look gloomy.

Just then, Eunuch Han came in.

"Your Majesty, Princess Rui just told the two queen dowagers and the queen that she would take out 100,000 taels of silver to buy war horses to deal with the cavalry that would invade from other countries."

"When the Queen Mother heard this, she offered to use her own private money."

"The Queen also said she would use her private savings."

Eunuch Han told the Empress Dowager everything he had heard in the palace.

Long Yi was overjoyed when he heard this.

In this way, the issue of military pay will no longer be a problem.

Thinking of this, he turned his eyes to Yan Cheng, raised his hand and pointed at his forehead, praising him sincerely: "You really gave birth to a good daughter!"

Yan Cheng smiled.

He sneered in his heart, now that he knew that his daughter, Yan Cheng, was good. He had previously said that the girl from the Yan family was not worthy of his son, Long Yi.

At the same time, he secretly felt distressed. Although Fu Ning was doing business, she had only been doing business on East Third Street for a short time. She had to take out 100,000 taels of silver all at once...

That would be equivalent to spending all the money you earned!

If the amount was less than 100,000 taels, she would have to make up the difference herself.

You should know that it was this girl who paid for the production of Yan family army's weapons.

The more I thought about it, the more sad I felt, and I couldn't put on a smile anymore.

King Cheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty has got a good daughter-in-law!"

"Yes." Long Yi nodded.

King Cheng said, "I have long known that the daughter of the Yan family is the most loyal, but Your Majesty only realized it a little late."

"Yes, yes, your princess is the daughter of the Yan family, and she is Fu Ning's aunt." Long Yi finally smiled, "Well, I deserve what you said."
