back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 825 The proposal to increase troops shocked the entire court

Lu Chengqi himself did not expect that things would go so smoothly.He originally thought that he would have to waste a lot of words and fight with each other before he could get what he wanted.Unexpectedly, these civil servants are only afraid of the Liao Kingdom, and the rest of the countries are not worth mentioning in their eyes.And the fact seems to be the case.

This is actually exactly the same as the Northern Song Dynasty in official history.After the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom made the Chanyuan alliance, they wholeheartedly attacked Xixia. Isn't this bullying the weak and fearing the hard?But the Northern Song Dynasty and Xixia fought for so many years, just to grab the land of Hetao, but each other won and lost, and they never got what they wanted.Instead of grabbing the land, it wasted a lot of supplies, weakened his own strength, and made both sides suffer.

If the Northern Song Dynasty were smarter and used private merchants to do business with Xixia and Uyghur, secretly traded good horses, and bred them by themselves, even if there was a shortage of horse farms, they could still train a batch of army horses. Why fight Xixia to death?Of course, this also involves the face of "Heaven and Chaoshang Kingdom". No one can judge the truth after a thousand years.

Fortunately, Xixia no longer exists in this time and space, and Hetao also falls into the hands of Dashun.

However, after the Taizu, the national treasury began to shrink, and the horse breeding land in Hetao could not afford to squander.In addition, the Han people didn't know how to raise horses, so they forced many fine-bred stallions to gel, cutting off the way of self-sufficiency.

Fortunately, Lu Chengqi came to power and restored the Hetao horse farm.They also introduced good horses with the Liao Kingdom, Uighur, and even more remote countries in the Western Regions such as Heihan and Khwarazimo, and began to breed them on their own.This slowly lowered the price of the horses and improved their quality.You know, in Dashun, the asking price for a fine horse is more than a hundred guan, and for a more stellar horse, it can even reach a thousand guan.As for any kind of hard-earned BMW, the price is sky-high, there is a price but no market.

Hundreds of copper coins are enough for a family of three to live well for more than ten years.Changed to the approximate ratio of future generations, it is equivalent to the price of an ordinary BMW and Mercedes-Benz sedan.As for Qianguan, it is already a sports car, at the level of Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini.The most powerful sweat-blooded BMW and other famous species are equivalent to limited edition concept cars. So what if you have money, you can’t buy it even if you want to!
Dashun, who had no shortage of horses, straightened his back.

Even if the waist is not straight, dealing with a cochin, in the minds of these civil officials, is just a matter of gestures.

Therefore, it is said that civil officials only know how to talk about soldiers on paper, but they don't care about the hardships of soldiers traveling thousands of miles.

When a large army goes out, the selection of commanders and generals is particularly important.The second is to do a good job in logistics support, with enough food, grass, clothes, medicine, supplies, and doctors accompanying the army.Then we must pay attention to the speed of marching and minimize the number of non-combat attrition.When on the battlefield, one has to judge the situation and decide whether to fight or not to fight based on the time, location, and harmony of people.After deciding to fight, how to fight, how to make the soldiers die less... These are all knowledge, not what the civil servants imagined, just like Zhou Yu of the Three Kingdoms, with a feather fan, a scarf, and Fang Qiu, strategizing, winning a thousand miles, talking and laughing, The strong captives were wiped out...

All these are nothing but literati feelings.The real battlefield is cruel, either you die or I die.How can there be such an understatement, not taking human life seriously?
Lu Chengqi sighed, fortunately, he didn't plan to rely on these civil servants to fight, just manage the internal affairs well.Let's leave it to the generals to fight the war!
"All the ministers have decided to teach Annan a lesson?"

Lu Chengqi felt a little unreliable, so he asked again loudly.

Not only were the civil servants "outraged", but even Yunfeng, the Zuo admonishment doctor who had always been calm and did not advocate war, said loudly: "Your Majesty, Annan was originally my prefecture in the Central Plains, and it was self-established as a country in the previous dynasty. It should have been conquered." During the time of Taizu Gaozong, he took into account the suffering of the people for years of war, so he tolerated Annan again and again. However, Annan made an inch of progress. In recent years, he repeatedly violated the frontier, and even killed Su Yan, the magistrate of Yongzhou, and slaughtered more than [-] people. Hundreds of thousands of people died in Qin and Lianzhou, and the people from the three states were captured and paid back. This blood debt has never been settled! Today, our Dashun army is strong and strong. If there is no further conquest, the small country of Annan will really treat me as a soft persimmon. What!"

Even Yunfeng's blood was aroused, not to mention the old cynical censor Zhongcheng Li Ran, clamoring to send troops, he was the most vicious.

Lu Chengqi saw that the following were all "patriotic and loyal ministers", and he felt relieved: "Then all the ministers think, how many troops will be sent, who will be the commander?"

"Your Majesty, I think you need to send 20 troops to force Annan to surrender!"

"How can it be 20? Your Majesty, I think it should be at least 30!"

"30? Military supplies, who will be in charge?" This is a general who retorted, "Chang'an went to Annan, more than a thousand miles, and it took more than a month. 30 people, food, grass, and supplies are really thousands of people. Thousands of dollars!"

……

Lu Chengqi waited for them to fight enough, and then slowly made a decision: "Don't be impatient, gentlemen, there is still a piece of good news that hasn't been announced yet?"

After the discussions stopped, the civil and military officials asked, "May I ask Your Majesty, what is the good news?"

"The former Datong Mansion regiment trainer Wu Yilang Zheke Xingzhe General defeated Annan's [-] troops under the city of Qinzhou, wiped out [-] enemies, and captured more than [-] prisoners. He only escaped the enemy leader Guo Qingri and others. Li Changjie, who is known as the Annan God of War, and Qinzhou The head of the city..."

As soon as Lu Chengqi finished speaking, everyone was shocked: "This... this is a victory that has never been achieved before!"

"God bless Dashun!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

……

Flattery is like a wave.Lu Chengqi was a little flustered when he heard that, because these civil servants knew that the little emperor didn't like flattery, so they are all well-learned now. The horses they pat are like the spring breeze in March, which inadvertently penetrates into the heart. Sometimes Lu Chengqi doesn't notice, and he will feel very useful .Sure enough, the technology of flattering will improve under strict requirements.

Lu Chengqi said triumphantly: "Not only that, General Zhe, together with Lu Chenhuan, the commander of the forbidden army, has already invaded the hinterland of Annan. I only regret that there are too few troops, otherwise Annan would have destroyed the country long ago! According to the report of the Supervision Department, General Lu has already broken through. Thang Long City, the capital of Nanjing, Xuan Guangzhou, an important military town, and An Pei Prefecture..."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar all over the court.

It is well known that the little emperor has great ambitions.But for such a big matter as the expedition to Cochin, he actually made the decision by himself, and the officials didn't know about it.The civil servants have slowly recovered from their madness.If the little emperor keeps doing this in the future, how can these civil servants restrain the generals?
The insightful civil servant has already shown a worried look on his face.
