There is no shortage of people in Higashikata who can see clearly. But after all, Donghu did not just found the country, nor did it carry out huge reforms like the Ming Dynasty, so that people who could see clearly were in high places.
Over the past hundreds of years, our upper class has been corrupted. For various reasons, those who are talented are not as good as those with background, and those who are capable are not as good as those who can brag.
This leads to the fact that what the top said is not about whether there is a problem, but about how to brag and how to flatter the top.
How come you are kicking a little bit into your own pocket when you are trying to flatter someone above?
And those who are capable and noble will naturally be isolated.
After all, there are so many bad things in society, and there are so many human beings in the world. Although this person's worldliness is poison to the power and the country. But to some people, it means money.
It's not that they don't know the importance of the current army, the army in the center of the imperial court, to Donghu.
But so what? Knowing that the Ming army was not what it used to be, they did not dare to offend the Ming Dynasty.
They don't have the ability to annihilate the barbarians, but they have the ability to take advantage of the opportunities to annihilate the barbarians to make money on time.
Surrounding rather than attacking and taking the opportunity to harass the opponent is Donghu's best choice. Although this will consume a lot of manpower, force and financial resources, at least it can guarantee the safety of the army. After all, the weapons in the hands of the barbarians are not fire sticks. Not vegetarian either.
Lingbao is a powerful defensive weapon in the West, although it was only a four-gun before Ming Dynasty's current main artillery.
But Donghu is not the Ming Dynasty after all. Although they also have firearms, they are worse than those in the West and cannot form a range advantage at all.
That's right, siege is the best choice for Donghu, but starting the siege, although it is a threat to the barbarians, it is also a tragedy for Mr. Donghu.
After all, this is wartime, and it is also wartime under the intensive control of the imperial court. Not to mention other things, at least the food, grass and weapons must be delivered on time and in the right amount.
Otherwise, if something happens on the front line and people say you have problems with the supply of money and food, what will you do?
The emperor is not allowed to kill anyone.
Under the current circumstances, with the war on the front lines continuing, they have to supply food and grass as required, so they cannot push the "advanced" concepts they learned from the Ming Dynasty to their limit.
There are three floors less than the warehouse, and we continue to exploit them layer by layer. The front line is big, and we still eat without repayment. Normally, nothing happens. However, now the civil and military officials and the emperor are watching. If you don’t die, who will die?
Although siege is the best option for Donghu, the people above do not allow it. It is not that the court is short of money or food, but that at the moment, they cannot be greedy or use public money to enrich themselves.
As for the soldiers who died in vain for their own selfishness, they didn't care at all. After all, in their eyes, those people just lost their lives, but they did lose their vain money.
And serve as a soldier. Most of the people who serve as top soldiers are children from ordinary people's families. In their eyes, death means death.
As for the heavy losses that would lead to the country's demise, they didn't care. After all, they were a powerful family. As long as the new rulers did not live in the Ming Dynasty, Xin's dynasty still needed them for stability.
As for the return of the Ming Dynasty, they are not afraid. After all, the Ming Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven and will not damage its own image for the sake of their insignificant place. But they didn't know that the emperor of Ming Dynasty was not a Confucian.
Some people died, but not completely...
