White disasters turn into disasters, and disasters arouse people's hearts.
But in the Wu Dynasty, where all people were martial, they were really afraid of the chaos caused by the grassland white disaster.
Not only is it not possible, but if the Wu Dynasty suppresses it, the warriors who are passionate about military achievements may rush in and harvest the heads of the grassland white plague in exchange for promotion.
Each family in the six countries of Kyushu has its own three-blade ax, and the same goes for the alien races on the grassland.
Regarding the three-blade ax on the grassland, the Wu Dynasty did not need to study it. The Han and Tang Dynasties had already given solutions to it, let alone the Wu Dynasty, which was full of martial virtue.
What I’m asking for is a “you come and I go!”
I am grazing in the valley, and I am grazing at the border and not growing grain. If you want the cattle and sheep to move away, just keep the attitude that you can lead me now, and your family will be mine in the future. This has caused the weak grassland tribes to not dare to go deep, and the powerful ones. The tribesmen didn't dare, because they might get dumped if they went too deep.
The grassland is a good ranger, and the Wu Dynasty plays a combination of light and heavy cavalry. You have superb equestrian skills, and I have my equipment and armor. No matter how strong your skills are, you can't break the defense of the heavy cavalry, and the grassland can only be blinded.
Unfortunately, war is never about you cutting me with a knife and me stabbing you. There are too many dirty things.
Just talking about Da Cao Valley, the grassland aliens themselves will continue to iterate and update. There is no way. Facing Da Cao Valley, the Wu Dynasty is fighting a defensive war, while the grassland is fighting a survival war. If you attack for a long time, you will gain, and if you defend for a long time, you will lose.
But one thing is certain, that is, the alien races on the grassland will never go to war in late winter and early spring.
Not hunting in late winter is due to lack of fodder.
A strong war horse can eat more than ten kilograms of hay a day, plus six or seven kilograms of concentrate. You can't let a war horse carry hundreds of kilograms of grain and grass on its back to the battlefield, right?
Not playing in early spring comes from the muddy road.
Therefore, facing the grassland, what the Wu Dynasty had to guard against was only uncertainty, not regular wars.
"After multiple deductions by the Office of Records, if our dynasty can break into Xuantu City in the next year, even if only one person enters Xuantu City, the equation's plan will have at least a 70% chance of success!" the empress added.
"If there is 70%, then the probability is already very good. The grassland has never been one. The Jurchen race itself was forcibly created by Xianbei. If it is not for lack of strength, they can only learn from us Han people, and the grassland will never have peace!"
Shang Zhong also understands the grassland. Among the leaders of the large and small tribes, if they are not helpless, who would be willing to bow down and be small? How powerful is the Jurchen Wanyan family?
After all, isn’t it because I can’t beat him?
The Han Dynasty relied on the policy of obscuring the people to rule, and the grassroots rule was based on the butcher's knife.
Nowadays, various ministries in the grassland have approved a layer of morality. To put it bluntly, the butcher's knife is not sharp enough. Who is willing to argue with others if they have the ability to do it?
Therefore, as long as there is an opportunity to strengthen themselves, the grassland aliens don't care which side you are the representative of. It is just a matter of grabbing first and then talking, or talking first and then grabbing.
The Empress spoke 70% of the time, and there must be a lot of support behind her. Now let's see if Randy can go around the Jurchen soldiers as planned, and complete the feat of attacking Xuantu.
"I will handle the affairs of the Song Dynasty, and we will deal with the grassland affairs later. It is your turn to leave the following matters to you!" Da Sima looked at Old Man Xia.
The Wu Dynasty's reserves are divided into two parts, the inner palace controlled by the royal family, and the large warehouse under the household department. The inner palace does not need to be touched for the time being, but the large warehouse of the household department will definitely be opened.
"After I get back, I will follow your instructions..." Old Man Xia's eyes fell on the memorial, "Make arrangements to open a position no later than tomorrow morning, but you'd better not rush it!"
The twelfth lunar month of the year is the coldest. It's freezing in the north, the rivers are frozen, and the roads are icy. It's enough to be able to send the baggage to the front line, let alone efficiency.
"I won't rush you. The 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp will leave in three days. It's enough for you to prepare a month's worth of supplies for 30,000 people. Then you can take them away with the army!"
The Third Battalion, which has a standard configuration of one man and two horses, can haul away a lot of baggage by itself when performing tasks within the territory.
"I have priority to transport the fodder out here!"
After saying that, Old Man Xia picked up the memorial and turned around to leave.
"Going on an expedition in the twelfth lunar month has a great impact on morale. Each of the soldiers on the expedition will be given five taels of ring, a roll of cotton cloth, and thirty kilograms of meat. The officers in the camp will be given two kilograms of ring, a roll of linen, and ten kilograms of meat!"
The empress is not a stingy person. When a war comes, people's hearts are the most important. The troops sent out in the twelfth lunar month will destroy people's hearts.
"You should handle this matter as soon as possible. You must eat before you leave home!"
Damn righteousness!
When she thought that all the money she spent was due to righteousness, the empress wanted to bite him to death.
The Wu Dynasty was poor, and the inner government was even poorer. With this wave of rewards, two to three hundred thousand taels of silver were gone. Only those who have experienced the pain will know the pain.
…
"His Majesty!"
Seeing His Majesty who was so distressed that he was autistic, Lao Pu called out softly.
All the money has been spent, and the people below will not save it for you. Now it is too late to regret. Instead of being autistic here, it is better to think about how to spend the next money.
Now that we have reached this point, if we really start fighting, then we will really spend money like water.
"Don't bother me if it's okay!"
The empress waved her hand. She had already emptied her wallet through the cash-for-work program. It was impossible to catch up with the money. She would not be able to collect taxes in the short term. She had only a little bit of money left in her family. She had a big head now.
"No, let's get some back from the project funds. It's a lot more. We can still get back one to two million taels!"
The project was done step by step. At the beginning, we had everything and nothing to spend money on. Now, the preliminary project is just the widening of a few main roads, and 90% of the money collected from all parties has not been used yet.
"What a joke!"
"Believe it or not, as long as I touch this money today, no matter what the excuse is, I can't keep this money. It was all dug out from between my teeth. Now..."
The empress took a long breath and said, "The reason why I was able to raise so much was purely due to various coincidences and combinations of factors. If I missed it this time, it will be difficult to replicate in the future. Now everyone is staring at how I spend the money. I Anyone who dares to take one back, believe it or not, will be able to send me hundreds of memoranda asking for money, and all of them will have their own reasons, which I cannot refuse!"
Money is the embodiment of people's hearts. If it is used for work-relief, then it can only be earmarked.
The current financial crisis is difficult to overcome, but in the long run it is a trivial matter. If the Ming Dynasty had not formed an alliance, the Wu Dynasty would only have to put on its own posture and fight with the Hexi and Song people, and the war would not be able to burn into the territory of the Wu Dynasty. .
Even if they form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, they will at most open a Xuzhou battlefield.
The witnesses from all sides who witnessed the war forty years ago are still alive. No one dares to force the Wu Dynasty to fight an internal war. The most they can do is to use some evil tricks to delay the development of the Wu Dynasty and continue to use financial resources. The footsteps of the Wu Dynasty were trapped to death.
Without the strategy of equations and the blueprint of working-for-relief, the Wu Dynasty would naturally go into war and use the war to make money from the Song people, but now it is up to the empress to analyze which is more important.
If we don’t take the current battlefield seriously, we will at most offend some middle- and lower-level officers and some young men who want to build military merit through war. We can wait until the work-for-relief program is completed. How much prestige will be lost today and how many Yingpai’s thoughts will be destroyed tomorrow? Everything will be earned back tenfold or a hundredfold.
The Wu Dynasty needed a strong monarch, and even more so, an emperor who knew how to lead the development of the Wu Dynasty.
"If it doesn't work, open the Fengku. The first wave will pass. From now on, we only need to defend Hexi!" The empress thought very clearly. The fog of war could not cover her thoughts. "By the way, what is my little brother doing?"
