"How dare they do this? How dare they do this? A group of unfaithful, unrighteous and unfilial people without a king or father!" Min Ruoying's roar almost overturned the roof. The information file presented by Lei Wei turned into a flying paper scraps all over the room. He turned around several circles like a trapped beast. Seeing Lei Wei still kneeling on the ground, Min Ruoying, who was furious, kicked Lei Wei into a rolling gourd, hitting it hard on the wall and then stopped.

Min Ruoying, who stepped over Lei Wei, was still unhappy. She picked up the decorations in the study and slammed them viciously on the ground. For a moment, there were endless bangs and bangs in the study. In an instant, a beautifully decorated study room became in chaos.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, please calm down!" Ma Xiangdong didn't care that Min Ruoying would get up again and hurt someone. He knelt forward and hugged Min Ruoying's thigh. He was not Lei Wei, and he was kicked, for fear that his life would be gone. Fortunately, Min Ruoying still remembered that this was his chief assistant, a scholar with no power, so he didn't attack him. "We have to discuss countermeasures immediately and think about dealing with it!"

Min Ruoying, who was holding a flower arrangement porcelain vase with both hands and was about to be put on the ground, heard Ma Xiangdong's words, and froze in the place for a while. After a while, he loosened his hands and the flower arrangement porcelain vase fell to the ground, smashed to pieces. After staying there for a long time, he walked to the desk with heavy steps and sat down dejectedly.

The five counties in the eastern region, the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River, Anyang, Xinning, Quanzhou, and almost half of the territory of the entire Great Chu had fallen into the hands of the Ming people. More importantly, these places were either where Da Chu gathered heavy troops, or the main source of wealth for Da Chu. Their rebellion, for Da Chu, had been hollowed out the internal organs. What's more terrifying is that their actions would have a strong demonstration effect. After receiving this news, other prefectures were afraid that they would be unstable.

"What to do? What else can I do?" he murmured.

"Please call on the important officials to discuss immediately. If you don't come up with a countermeasure immediately, you're afraid that other places will respond. Your Majesty, there are already no peace in the territory of Great Chu, mobs are emerging and the economy is collapsed. If other prefectures follow the example, the great Chu country and the country will no longer exist in an instant!" Ma Xiangnandao.

"Lei Wei, go and call the ministers of various departments and courts to discuss matters immediately!" Min Ruoying said.

"Abide by the order!" Lei Wei got up from the corner of the house, bowed and agreed, turned around and walked out of the study, and then wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, but a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. After being kicked with anger with Min Ruoying, even though Min Ruoying didn't want his life, this time it caused Lei Wei to be seriously injured.

The important officials of various departments and courts of the Great Chu who were summoned into the palace from a banquet or from a hot bed were soaked in the body of Lei Wei's story in a confused look on their faces, their bodies were soaked with layers of cold sweat coming out from layer upon layer.

"Your Majesty, you must launch a counterattack immediately to conquer these betrayed states, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable!" Several ministers stood up at the same time and shouted loudly.

"Yes, yes, we must launch a large army immediately to fight against the rebels!" Another minister stood up in two or three and agreed.

Compared with these people, the chief assistant Ma Xiangdong, the Minister of War Jia Zhengdao, the Minister of Revenue Lian Bo and others lowered their heads and remained silent, with a bitter face.

To send troops to attack? There must be troops first. Where are the soldiers of Da Chu now?

When fighting, you have to ask for money and food. Where is the money and food in Dachu now?

"Jia Zhengdao!" Min Ruoying looked at the Minister of War. "How many soldiers can the Ministry of War gather now?"

Jia Zhengdao, who was named, stood up helplessly: "Your Majesty, there is no military force to be adjusted now. The heavy troops of the Great Chu have always been clustered in the border areas, and there are only a small number of county soldiers in various places. Now the civil unrest in various places are frequent, and the county magistrates in various places are still asking the court to send troops to support, unless the Huofeng Army inside and outside the capital is mobilized."

The Fire Phoenix Army was not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War and was always under the direct command of Min Ruoying.

"No!" Chief Auxiliary Ma Xiangdong immediately opposed: "The Huofeng Army has not been supplemented in recent years. Now the 80,000 Huofeng Army must guard the Shangjing City and the nearby areas, and the core area of ​​the Great Chu, and there must be no mistakes."

"If the Fire Phoenix Army is not transferred, the Ministry of War will not send troops to come." Jia Zhengdao said frowningly.

"Your Majesty, Xuzhou also has Hongyu, Jinzhou and Suqian. These two departments are elite border troops, so they should be used." A minister stood up and bowed.

Jia Zhengdao looked at the minister like a fool: "Your Majesty, Zhu Yi of Anyang has rebelled, and Guan Hongyu's 20,000 Western Army is in charge of Xuzhou. Although there is no sign, Guan Hong has a close relationship with Zhu Yi and has to visit. And Suqian, Jinzhou, has been under Zeng Lin's command for many years, and now Zeng Lin has rebelled, so whoever can ensure that he has not contacted Suqian."

Jia Zhengdao's words made the house feel cold all of a sudden. Xuzhou and Jinzhou all guarded the border and entered Shangjing. If these two people betrayed the court, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"These two people must be taken down, so they cannot inspire them to lead their troops to rebel." Ma Xiangdong said: "Your Majesty, why would you rather grant the title of two people and then transfer the Fire Phoenix Army to serve. As long as the two are willing to return to the capital, why should the court be stingy with the title of Duke?"

Min Ruoying nodded: "Who will take over them?"

"I am willing to go." Jia Zhengdao, Minister of War, stood up: "I still have some friendship with Guan Hongyu, and I am willing to personally bring the imperial edict to Xuzhou to persuade Guan Hongyu to return to Beijing to serve. I am guarding the door for His Majesty in Xuzhou."

Min Ruoying glanced at the old minister who was nearly 60 years old and felt a little moved: "Jia Qing is willing to go to Xuzhou, so who will go to Jinzhou?"

Ma Xiangdong quickly passed the general who could fight in his mind and said, "Your Majesty, I recommend Wen Fuyi, the deputy commander of the Fire Phoenix Army."

"This matter was decided like this, and the Prime Minister quickly drafted the order after he went down."

"If Jia Military Affairs Department goes to Xuzhou, who will take over the position of Minister of War?" Ma Xiangdong asked.

"Jia Qing still serves as the other party, and the daily affairs will be handled by the Left Minister. After this matter, Jia Qing will still be transferred back." Min Ruoying waved her hand.

"yes!"

Min Ruoying's eyes turned to the Ministry of Revenue. Although she was not going to send troops to fight against the rebels, the issue of money and food was still urgent. There was no doubt that the war was approaching the State of Chu.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue not only has no money, but also owes countless money and food." Lian Bo stood up helplessly and said.

"I am not asking if you have any money or food, but asking you how you can raise money or food?" Min Ruoying said in a deep voice.

Lianbo was speechless for a moment.

"You are my Minister of Revenue, in charge of the world's money and food. Now the country is in crisis. Can't you think of any way?"

Lian Bo gritted his teeth and said, "I ask Your Majesty to allocate the silver coins of the inner treasury. I wonder if Your Majesty has more than enough money to use in the inner treasury."

"The silver money in the inner treasury is only 2 million taels, and you can allocate 1.5 million taels to the Ministry of Revenue." Min Ruoying said.

One million and a half thousand taels sounds a lot, but the situation in front of you is probably a drop in the bucket. "Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty to order all officials, wealthy families, nobles, and relatives in the capital to be happy to lose to the court. The necessary amount is stipulated according to the size of the official position, the degree of wealth."

The so-called "happy losing" means you will be forced to donate.

When he heard this, many ministers in the hall immediately glared at Lian Bo.

Min Ruoying naturally saw the unhesitation of these people and sneered: "Where is the hair left? I believe everyone understands this principle. You are all important officials of the country. They will prosper and prosper with the Great Chu. If you lose all the Great Chu, do you still want to have anything left? This matter is done like this, and you will draw up the relevant number. What is the use of those who cannot be loyal to the country?"

"Abide by the order!" Lian Bodao. Although this move would cause him to offend countless people, he still had so much care. If he didn't raise enough money and food, he could not even protect Da Chu. What power and wealth could he have? As Min Ruoying said, people like him had long been tied to Da Chu.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that you must recruit troops!" Ma Xiangdong said: "The county soldiers are not worthy of use, the border troops are hidden dangers, the number of Fire Phoenix Army is insufficient, and the court must form another new army."

"I'm afraid it's difficult to recruit new recruits in a short period of time. Even if I recruit new recruits, my combat effectiveness is extremely difficult to guarantee, but it's just a waste of money and food." Jia Zhengdao opposed.

"Your Majesty, what I said about recruiting soldiers is mainly aimed at the servants and guards of the court ministers. These people have certain military skills. If they are concentrated together, they will be of great use if they are trained together. Of course, they also need to recruit some strong and diligent training. Your Majesty, going to Beijing requires more troops, not only to the outside but also to the inside!" Ma Xiangdong said meaningfully.

Min Ruoying was slightly stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what Ma Xiangdong meant. He summoned all the private guards of the court's important officials and wealthy gentry to join the army and manage them in a unified manner. He could indeed form considerable combat power in a short period of time. At the same time, he also pulled out the minions of these people, so that they could only act under the orders of the court without any other actions. The situation is so dangerous now that these people might have some other thoughts.

"Accurate!" Min Ruoying said.

"Now the country is in danger and the money and food are not enough. I suggest that you imitate the military control plan of the late emperor and concentrate all food and other materials in the capital from now on. Regardless of the officials and the people, you will receive food and food every day according to the head of the people." Lianbo continued: "In this way, the limited materials can be used more reasonably to the greatest extent."

"Accurate!" Min Ruoying said without hesitation. In the early days of the late emperor Min Wei ascended the throne, Qi State invaded a large-scale invasion, and this policy was implemented in the capital. Min Ruoying, who was still a baby at that time, still remembered those difficult years. Even as a prince, he was hungry and full. However, the Great Chu finally survived those years and finally ushered in the victory of the war.

One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, was put forward and resolutions were formed in a very short time. The Great Chu court rarely saw such efficient actions.

Min Ruoying finally breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, there was finally a way. Whether it was a good or a bad way, it was better than no way.
Chapter completed!
