Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Four: 240,000 Frontier Troops, 2 Million
"If you have anything else, just say it. I am not the monarch who can't listen to the advice." Zhu Youxiao looked around and looked at Wang Qia. His appearance was like a thorn in his throat, and he could see it at a glance.
Wang Qia believed this.
Before him, Li Banghua didn't know how many times he had to contradict the Holy Will, but the result was different from the people from Donglin. They were still alive and lively.
The most unbelievable thing is that this guy was promoted to the Zuo Jiao Censor this year and became the highest official of the Censorate.
This alone shows that the emperor today is not as stupid as it is widely rumored. He acts by listening to Wei Zhongxian's flattery. On the contrary, Wang Qia vaguely feels that Wei Zhongxian is "flattering" according to the emperor's wishes!
This was a bold idea. At first, Wang Qia just laughed it off, but this idea became increasingly serious in his heart as he had been in contact with Emperor Apocalypse.
Wang Qia knew in his heart that the emperor had a reason to insist on keeping Cui Chengxiu, the eunuch party, and no matter how hard he attacked, it would be useless.
Besides, Cui Chengxiu's move this time was indeed big, with 800,000 taels of food and salary for one month on the front line, which is something that no one can give up.
The key is that from secretly realizing that one is about to be in trouble, to admitting one's mistakes, and spending all his family's wealth to pay for his wages, Cui Chengxiu's actual thoughts didn't last long.
That is, when Wang Qia finished his last few advice, Cui Chengxiu had already done all the considerations without even blinking her eyes.
Wang Qia hadn't said anything before, just observing Cui Chengxiu.
Now it seems that this person can be kept by the emperor forever, and it is indeed his own use in the court.
Whether it is flattering the Wei Party back then, becoming the pioneer of fighting Donglin, or now, it is not something that ordinary people can do decisively.
Since the emperor insisted on not handling Cui Chengxiu, this article should be overwhelmed. Only those Donglin Qunxian, who were fighting for fame, could do it.
"I also have a foolish opinion. The nine borders are all important things for the country. We cannot see the situation where there is no military force to adjust. If the nine borders are short of soldiers, we must transfer troops from other places!"
Zhu Youxiao nodded and asked:
"Now, where can we adjust troops everywhere to enrich the troops so that we can not affect local guards, but also quickly replenish the elite troops on the nine sides?"
Wang Qia had already thought of a countermeasure and said:
"I think that the soldiers and horses in Fujian, Zhejiang, Sichuan and Gansu have good past achievements and simple people. They are also the place where Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and others selected troops back then, and they can be transferred north."
"Then order the three guards in the north of the border, North Korea will send 20,000 troops and 30,000 troops each, and order Xiong Tingbi to add 50,000 new soldiers from the Liao army to recruit and train on the spot, and form two battalions."
"In this way, the new army can be expanded by 240,000, and the annual increase of 2.5 million!"
"I have asked the Ministry of Revenue what it means. In a few months, the first batch of Shandong salt taxes collected this year will be escorted to Beijing. In the future, the salt taxes in Shandong alone will be enough to make up for the food and wages of the 200,000 new troops."
What a good guy, I have only completed the new Shandong salt law that I have troublesome. The salt tax is only transferred back and forth in my hands, and I have to send it out directly before I can get enough heat.
Zhu Youxiao looked back and forth in his mind several times and asked in a slanted look:
"What does Ge Lao mean?"
Wei Guangwei has also been thinking about whether there are any other solutions besides increasing troops and expanding troops and diversion from the south to the north. But after thinking about it, there is really nothing more suitable.
"Your Majesty, I think it's feasible."
Up to now, the civil and military officials of the dynasty have basically set a thorough tone.
Although the conflict between the Ministry of War, Ministry of Revenue and Sun Chuanting was not satisfactory, it was finally resolved. Wang Qiao and Li Banghua all believed that the war was at this point and could not be lost no matter what.
If you lose, the price is too high.
So the discussions between the civil and military officials in the court have become one of the same things. They should do the difficult things themselves. On the Western Front, they have to make Sun Chuanting continue to fight, but how can they win? It depends on him.
As for Liaodong, we still have to continue to rely on Xiong Tingbi. The imperial court cannot take action to deal with Nurhaci at the moment.
Now Sun Chuanting gathers the strength of the entire Ming Dynasty court to help him finish the battle, and leave the merits and demerits until the team comes back.
In contrast, Xiong Tingbi became a free-range child.
Zhu You proofreaded the Liaodong area, which had been recovered for more than half a year, and now, except for a piece of imperial edict to throw away a few new troubles, he really can't give anything else.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao really thought Xiong Tingbi was too difficult.
For so long, he was unable to support himself in Liaodong. He had to deal with the open and secret arrows of the Later Jin Dynasty and was criticized and impeached by civil and military officials.
Although Hong Chengchou was given to him later, this guy was very cunning and could even please him while sitting on the position of governor of Liaodong.
In fact, in the past three years, Hong Chengchou's greatest help to Xiong Tingbi in Liao affairs was to not restrict each other, one governs politics and the other governs the army.
The relationship between the two is not good, but it is not very bad either.
Zhu Youxiao leaned against the Jiulong imperial throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and stroked the golden dragon head. His eyes became so greedy for the first time. It was difficult for him to let go of the emperor until now.
The taste of rights is really too tempting.
"Send Ti cavalry out of seclusion and must bring my original words to Sun Chuanting. I will give it to him the last batch of elite troops in the country!"
"Let him decide everything about the battle plan!"
Upon hearing this, the ministers [Bay 1 Chinese website] bowed again, and called out:
"Your Majesty's wise!"
Back at the Xihun Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao's eyes were silent and collapsed on the throne. He leaned on it, constantly gasping for a long time, and was speechless.
......
On the first day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the northern country has already been a cold and frozen solar term.
Xiong Tingbi stood in the school grounds, looking at the supervision team composed of two thousand elite Liao troops selected, full of confidence.
The appearance of the supervision team was also a product of Xiong Tingbi's reference to Sun Chuanting's military discipline outside Datong Town.
Xiong Tingbi thought this thing was very good and could be set up in the Liao army.
The supervisory team must select elite troops, which is different from his supervisory battalion.
The Superior Battalion was guarding the wartime, and the Superior Team followed the army, first to make the final trump card, second to shock the soldiers, kill the fugitives, timely curb the decline, and take the opportunity to counterattack.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
All members of the Liao army's supervisory team were equipped with a sharp officer-style geese-winged sword, which flashed several cold lights in the snow, which was extremely eye-catching.
In addition, the supervisory team selected elite troops from various units of the Liao army, and the momentum was even more extraordinary.
"Stop—" Suddenly, Xiong Tingbi stretched out his hand and issued an order to stop the exercise, lifted his head and stared at the distance.
Although he was not a military general, but his years of military career were more vigilant than ordinary military generals.
Even in the noisy schoolyard, you can still notice the slight tremor on the ground.
After a while, a group of tik cavalry came from afar.
The leader was a grandfather-in-law. A group of people came to Liaoyang with "freezing hands and feet" and the political and military center in Liaodong today, just to announce an imperial edict.
