The anger is vented, but the loss cannot be recovered.
According to preliminary statistics from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the loss caused by the destruction of the water camp this time was as high as tens of millions of dollars, and all available materials were used up in one fell swoop. For a long time, the Kingdom of Jin will not want to build another navy.
We can't get supplies, we can't get money, we can't get manpower.
When Wan Yanliang heard this, he was furious and called all the officials at the Ministry of Revenue to scold him.
"Without the navy, we can only watch the thief navy come and go freely! They can land wherever they want. In the Great Jin Kingdom, from Shandong to the coastal areas of Liaodong, the thief navy can go wherever they want! You guys can go wherever they want! What should I do?"
Wan Yanliang was furious, burst out angrily, and finally demanded that the navy be rebuilt no matter what, in order to curb the Liberation Army's maritime offensive.
The officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs looked at each other, and finally knelt down collectively and told the emperor that the country was really out of money. Even if they were all dismissed, they would not be able to find the money to rebuild the navy.
All the money was used for services, and there was really no extra money to build another navy. The family foundation of Dajin Kingdom had really been drained.
The more they behaved like this, the angrier Wan Yanliang became.
What Wan Yanliang hates most is that there are people who dare to contradict him. Such people will never survive - Wen Dun Sizhong is a veteran of the Four Dynasties and cannot be killed, but not everyone is a veteran of the Four Dynasties.
So Wan Yanliang wanted to kill someone again.
Fortunately, Heshi Lieliangbi and Tu Shanzhen arrived in time at this time and brought the latest news about the Liaodong war situation, which saved the lives of the Ministry of Revenue officials.
Wan Yanliang was so angry that he told them all to get out and not appear in front of him, so the officials from the Ministry of Revenue ran away in a hurry.
"What's wrong? Where did you lose the battle again? Didn't you just win the battle before?"
Wan Yanliang looked at He Shi Lieliangbi and Tu Shanzhen fiercely, making them feel hairy all over.
"The Liaoyang Mansion did win the battle, annihilating tens of thousands of Khitan rebels, and recovering several state capitals. However, Linhuang Mansion was lost, and the Khitan bandits moved north, so they can rely on Linhuang Mansion to fight me for a long time."
Heshi Lieliangbi said slowly: "So the recruiting envoy Wuyan Puluhun hopes that the court will send more cavalry and let him lead more cavalry to fight against the thieves so that the Khitan thieves can be eliminated as soon as possible."
Wan Yanliang punched the table.
"Linhuang Mansion! If I remember correctly, the ancestors of the Khitan people made their fortune in Linhuang Mansion, and finally established the great Liao Kingdom, which dominated Liaodong and the Central Plains. Why, do these Khitan people want to follow the old path of their ancestors? Damn thing!"
Out of anger, in order to put down the Khitan rebels as soon as possible, Wan Yanliang was still prepared to send more cavalry, but he had many complaints.
"He lacks cavalry, don't I lack cavalry? What don't I lack now? Manpower and material resources, I also lack a naval army. Such a large naval army was unexpectedly attacked by thieves and the entire army was annihilated! My entire army was annihilated!"
The more he talked, the more angry he became. Wan Yanliang simply lost his temper in front of He Shi Lieliangbi and Tu Shanzhen. He used these two people as a punching bag and lost his temper.
The so-called thunder, rain and dew are the emperor's favor. When the emperor loses his temper, the ministers can only accept it honestly and cannot resist. Otherwise, it will be treason and they will have to pay the price.
After being officials for so many years, they are extremely familiar with this basic knowledge.
In the final analysis, it was the sneak attack on the navy camp that made the emperor's mentality unbalanced, and the losses were indeed greater. If it were He Shi Lieliangbi or Tu Shanzhen sitting in this position, they would not feel able to calm down.
Tens of millions of dollars of military spending were poured into it, and countless manpower and material resources were spent. In the end, all the fire was gone, and anyone else would go crazy.
Now that the navy is gone, the Kingdom of Jin has lost its sense of security.
It is useless to have a strong land defense line. When the time comes, the Liberation Army will transport troops by navy. No matter which coast they come from, as long as they can land, they will be able to gather troops.
Random insertions, sneak attacks, side and rear attacks...
No line of defense can withstand such a blow!
Unless the Jin Kingdom really blocks the coastline and guards every inch of land with soldiers, only then can the naval offensive of the Liberation Army be stopped.
But this is obviously impossible. How many soldiers are needed to do it?
one million?
Two million?
There was no need for the Liberation Army to attack. The soldiers within the Jin Kingdom who could not receive military pay could launch a riot and tear off Wan Yanliang's head.
Wan Yanliang wanted to go south and had been preparing to go south, but at the moment, the offensive and defensive postures of both sides were too obvious, and the Liberation Army was so aggressive that the Jin Kingdom almost fell into a strategically passive situation.
The power to start a war seems to be in the hands of the Liberation Army, not Wan Yanliang.
On land and water, the increasingly sharp offensive of this bandit army is enough to show that their strength is constantly getting stronger. This trend of getting stronger is really a bit scary.
Heshi Lieliangbi was deeply worried about this.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the Han traitor army in the south is obviously getting stronger. The longer it goes, the stronger it becomes. Now there are not only strong troops on land, but also naval forces on the sea. They pose a huge threat to me and make me unable to guard against it. If it continues like this, I am afraid it will be very dangerous. Good strategy.”
Tu Shanzhen also felt that the situation was not good.
"The more time you give them, the stronger they will be and the more troops they will have. Your Majesty, the strategy of attacking from the north and defending from the south may not be continued."
Wan Yanliang finished getting angry and regained some of his senses. He sighed heavily.
"Why don't I know this kind of thing, but can I easily change the situation of attacking in the north and defending in the south? Although the Khitan rebels occupy Linhuang Mansion, they are obviously weaker. If we don't speed up the annihilation while they are still weak, we will wait for them Like the Han traitor army, it has become stronger, so how should the Kingdom of Jin deal with itself?"
This makes sense. National policy cannot be changed just by Wan Yanliang's words. It has also been proven.
The threat of the Khitans is obviously smaller. If we don't take this opportunity to eliminate them, are we going to wait for them to develop and grow in the same way?
The Han rebels have grown stronger, which is helpless, but the Khitan rebels cannot continue to grow.
Therefore, attacking in the north and defending in the south is what everyone thinks is the most correct course of action.
A sudden change, does it mean that... we have to fight on two fronts?
Not to mention that fighting on two fronts is a taboo for military strategists. The Han rebels in the south are so strong that they must mobilize the entire army to win. Wan Yanliang must fight in person.
Wan Yanliang won't even be in Zhongdu by then. What if a bigger problem happens in the north, what if the Mongols on the grassland take the opportunity to invade, or the Khitan people explode again?
Before the Khitan issue was resolved, Wan Yanliang still had doubts about whether to march south.
He is also afraid of the car tipping over.
Both He Shi Lieliangbi and Tu Shanzhen could see that the powerful fighting power of the Han Liberation Army had a big psychological impact on Wan Yanliang. Wan Yanliang began to worry that he would not be able to defeat them if he did not go all out, so that he would not be able to defeat them for a long time. The word "conquering the Song Dynasty" was not mentioned.
Regarding this situation, Heshi Lieliangbi and Tu Shanzhen didn't know whether this was a good thing.
Of course it is good not to conquer the Song Dynasty, but whether to conquer the Song Dynasty may represent the ambition in the emperor's heart. If the emperor loses his ambition and sinks, it will obviously not be a good thing for the Jin Kingdom.
But this is not something they can dominate.
"Then we can only send more troops to wipe out the Khitan rebel army as soon as possible."
Tu Shanzhen said: "Your Majesty, do you think it is okay to increase the number of troops by 10,000? If you add 10,000 cavalry, it will greatly strengthen the combat power of the Dajin army, and it will be more advantageous to deal with the Khitan thieves."
"Ten thousand cavalry..."
Wan Yanliang hesitated for a while and nodded helplessly: "Okay, let's increase the troops like this, but you have to tell Wuyan Puluhun that if I give him troops, he will destroy the Khitan rebel army for me, no matter what means he uses." , In what way, I want the Khitan rebel army to be killed."
"As ordered..."
Tu Shanzhen hesitated for a moment, not daring to reveal his plan to use recruitment methods to divide and disintegrate the Khitan Restoration Army.
This was a tactic he discussed with some colleagues in the Privy Council, and they all felt that it should have a relatively good effect.
Wouldn't it be easier to use the differentiation of interests to disintegrate these Khitan people who are inextricably linked to the Jin Kingdom, and let them fight among themselves and cause internal chaos than to attack them with all their strength and pay a huge price to annihilate them?
But in the current situation, if this strategy fails, it will irritate Wan Yanliang even more.
well……
