From November to December, the Privy Council handed over all prepared lists to Su Yonglin and the Ministry of Finance for review.
Su Yonglin took a look and said, "Good guy, the cost of launching such a war is almost equal to the total luxury goods transactions of the Wanggu tribe and the Tata'er tribe in two years."
Sure enough, the prosperity of a country cannot rely on luxury goods transactions.
Can this thing be the icing on the cake, a timely help?
hehe.
But in any case, preparations for war are almost complete. The staff headquarters headed by Ma Weiying also sent a special staff team to Datonghui and Han Jinggui. The main force of the Zhongdu cavalry began to set off and is expected to arrive in Datong and Han Jinggui in mid-December.
Needless to say, this is the coldest time of the year. Waging a large-scale war at this time is more expensive and dangerous than waging a war in spring and summer.
But there is no way. The savages of the forest tribe have already beaten the Wanggu tribe and the Tata'er tribe until they call for help. If they don't kill the savages of the forest tribe with a head-on blow, there is no guarantee that they will not come back. After annexing the Wanggu tribe and the Tataer tribe, they continued southward and invaded Datong Province.
This is something Su Yonglin will never allow to happen.
Defending the enemy outside the country and preventing the important production bases within the country from being affected by the war has been the strategic policy Su Yonglin has always adhered to.
After the army set off, Su Yonglin was waiting for good news from Han Jinggui in Zhongdu, and began to plan in advance the use of prisoners of war from various tribes, planning to assign them to various border areas for large-scale transportation and military construction.
Then I will participate in some talent selection work, participate in the formulation of some education reform policies, add patches to a series of policies, and make various policy adjustments to make up for the problems caused by my neglect of internal affairs management in the past few years.
Then there is the matter of spending a whole day in the Public Situation Consultation Room, having in-depth exchanges with people from both inside and outside the central capital, listening to their frustrations, and making up for their own shortcomings in governance.
Moreover, in this winter, the weather is cold, and Su Yonglin has no interest in leaving Zhongdu and running around. He just wants to be a homebody in Zhongdu, handle state affairs, spend time with his wife and children, and live a normal life.
Occasionally when he had some free time, he would drag Tian Qizi, Kong Maojie and others to cross-dress, pay private visits incognito, go to Zhongdu Market for snacks or dinner, visit leisure and entertainment venues, watch acrobatics and other street performances, Quan Dang stress reliever.
After a wave of purges, the government became much clearer. The trend of bureaucratization in the Ming court was interrupted by Su Yonglin. Officials also handled matters honestly, and there were few evildoers.
And those deep-thinking guys who were dissatisfied did not dare to jump up and go against Su Yonglin at this time, so they stayed dormant for the time being and did not do anything further to affect the overall situation.
Su Yonglin also knew very well that this wave of purges was just the prelude to a concentrated outbreak of conflicts. He just wanted to take this opportunity to take a break and be in a better condition to face the next wave of struggle.
But God didn't seem to want Su Yonglin to have a peaceful winter and a peaceful New Year. On December 16, the Skynet Army secret agents from Goryeo suddenly sent word that a coup had taken place in Goryeo.
Goryeo General Zheng Zhongfu, Li Yifang, the leader of the Qianlong Army, Li Gao, the lieutenant general of the Yingyang Longhu Army, and others launched a mutiny in Puxianyuan in mid-to-late November.
They seized power through mutiny without the permission of the Ming Dynasty, the suzerain country, deposed King Wang Sui of Goryeo, established a new king Wang Hao, and massacred civil servants. At present, they have basically controlled the political situation of Goryeo.
After taking control of the political situation across the country, they massacred all the civil servants who dared to resist, and coerced Wang Hao into agreeing to place their relatives, children, and subordinates in important and key positions in the court. They used powerful force to control the main power of the Kingdom of Goryeo.
Now, before the Ming Dynasty knew the cause and effect of the whole incident, the Goryeo military generals had changed the world, took the power of the Goryeo Dynasty in their hands, and became the leaders.
The current situation is still somewhat important to Daming, and Su Yonglin urgently needs to deal with it.
When Su Yonglin learned about this, he was looking at his son's test results from the previous stage and was very satisfied with his excellent results in science.
As expected, his son did not inherit his attributes of being a poor student in specific subjects, but he inherited Zhao Xirui's attributes of being a top student, especially in mathematics.
It just so happened that Su Yonglin had some free time recently, so he planned to take him out for a meal and some fun on his day off, which would make up for the regret of having promised him several times but not being able to fulfill his promise due to unexpected circumstances.
As a result, another unexpected incident occurred in Korea.
Why is it always like this?
Su Yonglin was depressed.
"Dad, where should we go to eat? How about eating rice crackers? There is a rice cracker restaurant on Prosperity Street that is very delicious. You will definitely like it. We have a day off the day after tomorrow, so let's go eat together! It's really delicious!"
Su Zeying looked at Su Yonglin with wide eyes and full of hope.
Su Yonglin pursed his lips and smiled awkwardly.
"Zeying, something has happened now. Something very important has happened. I'm afraid dad..."
"That's not possible?"
The light in Su Zeying's eyes dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the expression on her face became disappointed and aggrieved.
"This is the third time. Every time dad promised me to take me out to eat, he has never been... I know dad is busy with work and has to deal with many things, but..."
Su Yonglin's heart was suddenly filled with guilt.
To be honest, Zhao Xirui really educated Su Zeying very well when he was busy with state affairs. He was not pretentious at all at such a young age and was very considerate of his busy work as emperor and chairman of the Renaissance Society. He was so sensible that it even made him feel a little distressed.
But some things cannot be changed by his will.
Zhao Xirui was teaching her youngest son Zexiong how to read. When he heard the commotion here, he came over and hugged Su Zeying.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"There was a mutiny in Goryeo, and the king was deposed by a group of rebels. Now the rebels have established a new king and are massacring opponents in Goryeo. The Ming Dynasty cannot turn a blind eye."
Su Yonglin sighed and said in a low voice: "Originally, I thought I would have some free time before the war broke out in the northern grassland, but now it seems that I won't be able to relax for even a stick of incense."
"How did that happen?"
Zhao Xirui looked down at the disappointed Su Zeying with some helplessness. After thinking about it, she could only say warmly: "Zeying, daddy has very important national affairs to deal with. The day after tomorrow, mother-in-law will take you to eat crispy rice, okay?"
Su Zeying raised her head and looked at Zhao Xirui, and then at Su Yonglin who had a look of embarrassment on her face. She pursed her lips and smiled.
"Yeah! Okay, daddy has something to do, so just do it. Mom will take me to eat, the same thing."
"Good boy."
Zhao Xirui hugged Su Zeying with a smile, looked at Su Yonglin again, and said softly: "Then go quickly, don't delay the business, don't worry too much about the family affairs."
Su Yonglin looked at the smile on his son's face that was obviously forced, took a deep breath and nodded.
"I will arrange things as soon as possible, as soon as possible."
With that said, Su Yonglin stood up and strode to the meeting hall of the side hall of Wanmin Palace with the cabinet officials waiting outside.
After arriving at the meeting hall, most of the military and political officials of the imperial court had already arrived. Su Yonglin sat down and went straight to the point without any preamble.
"What happened in Goryeo? Why did the mutiny happen? I need a complete cause and effect."
Then his subordinates gave him a complete account of the cause and effect.
