Han You has not been idle recently. He has been busy asking his friends to come up with charters.
The timing is right, the emperor is here, the big bosses from the three provinces are here, and the ministers of various ministries or future ministers are also there. These people are enough to decide the real big events.
Not to mention the regulations, Fu Yuxiang, Zhou Xiao, Zhou Tong, and Feng Bai had even done the deduction countless times.
As time went by, the spies sent by Han You to the East China Sea returned more and more information.
The more detailed the information, the clearer the situation and the more content can be deduced.
Until now, Han You had only talked to his ministers about going to the East China Sea and what he would do after going there. He had never mentioned it on his own initiative. Today was an excellent opportunity and an occasion that had to be mentioned.
If it were other ministers, the emperor would definitely be the first to say what should be done, and then the ministers would say, what should you do.
There is no need for Han You, because no one told him what to do when he went to Nanguan. He told everyone what to do with facts.
Han You spoke loudly: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first."
Qian Ji nodded slightly and expressed his agreement. He was indeed a general with a strong sense of simplicity.
Han You said: "This sentence does not apply to Donghai."
Qian Ji: "..."
"If the food and grass are transported first, it will be used as a wedding dress for others. It will most likely be robbed or destroyed by the rebels and thieves in the East China Sea."
"That's right." Zhao Tai nodded: "This is my biggest worry. I have been thinking hard, but there is no solution. But if I don't solve this matter, what..."
Han You: "The soldiers and horses will go first, and the grain and grass will follow closely. Kill the traitors and thieves who want, should, might, and maybe take away or destroy the grain and grass first. Naturally, no one will think about the grain and grass."
Zhao Tai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He glanced at Huang Youwei and wanted to say that he was whimsical.
As a result, Huang Youwei ignored him at all, and Artai had no choice but to look at the Emperor. Han You didn't understand, but you should understand, Laoba.
As expected, Lao Ba showed a bit of confusion: "How can the soldiers be full without food and grass? If the soldiers go first and the civilians follow, wouldn't it waste more time, delay the journey, and spend more money? It is better for the soldiers and horses to go with the food and grass. How about it, neither the march nor the transportation of food is delayed."
These words are on point. It is not just the young and strong civilians who are marching normally to escort grain and grass. There is a problem here.
The army was short of manpower, so civilian men were recruited to help transport food.
The non-civilian husbands were responsible for the main task of transporting grain. If there were not enough manpower, the army could help.
The more troops there are, the more food they eat, and the more food they can transport. Therefore, auxiliary soldiers are needed to lead a large number of young and strong civilians to transport food. In many cases, even the government soldiers, that is, the regular army, have to accompany them to transport food.
It also depends on the geographical situation. For example, if you go to Nanguan, Nanguan is rich. If you are moving troops from the middle of Beijing and the Beijing camp, even if there are 100,000 people, you don’t need to bring too much food and grass. All the state governments along the way can make preparations. The soldiers in the Beijing camp only need to bring It’s enough to eat on the road, and there will be someone to take care of the food and provide food when you get there.
The situation in the East China Sea is different. The further east you go, the poorer you get. The further east you go, the greater the influence of the rebellious officials and traitors over the East China Sea. How can you really prepare food and grass for the soldiers who want to go against them?
This means that the soldiers going to the East China Sea must ensure that they have enough food and grass, and carry a large amount of food and grass to ensure that they can eat enough for people and horses to chew.
But this involves another issue, the traffic issue.
The official road is not smooth all the way. There are too many winding roads, narrow roads, waterways and narrow roads.
Where to go to fight, the first and biggest problem is marching. The more troops there are, the more difficult it is to march.
The army does not fight every year. The problem is that there are spring, summer, autumn and winter every year.
The rainy season is here, and the roads collapse when washed away. Winter is here, and the bumpy roads are frozen hard. Many mountain roads are easily washed away, and many mountain roads are also collapsed. This kind of situation can be found everywhere. There are too many records in history books. There are too many incidents like this. The front line is fighting, and the rear support is on the way to build roads. By the time we get to the local area, the fight may have been completed.
There are two problems, one is the problem of food and grass, and the other is the problem of marching.
The more people who go, the more food and grass are needed, and the more food and grass are needed, the harder the march becomes.
This was also the biggest helplessness of the country. After Han You left, the several state capitals along the way could not gather much usable troops.
First of all, these troops are supposed to guard the place. Secondly, whether they can be trusted is a matter of two opinions.
"Six thousand Qingqi, go first."
Han You had already gone through the plan countless times: "Six thousand men and horses will attack the outpost first, enter Youzhou, and wait for the rear troops and horses in Youzhou. The rear troops and horses do not need to carry too much food and grass."
Sun Shouting shook his head: "Although Youzhou is a fiefdom of the King of Han, it is not rich. How can there be so much food and grass to supply the army."
"No need, Donghai has it, at least it's enough in advance."
Sun Shouting couldn't help but laugh: "The local government of Donghai is making preparations?"
"It's best to prepare, but I didn't expect them."
"How to solve it?"
"Rob."
"Rob?"
"That's right, it's just robbing." Han You smiled, with a somewhat serious smile: "If the local government gives it, I will take it. If the local government doesn't give it, I will rob it. If the government doesn't give it, I will rob the family."
The monarchs and ministers in Jingzhi Hall were all dumbfounded, especially Sun Shouting, who swallowed back the curse words.
The army of the imperial court robs the local government of food and grass. Isn't this the same as Lao Ba's rebellion against Han You... No, Han You rebelled against Lao Ba and his own family fought against his own family. Isn't this just nonsense?
"If he is not a rebellious minister and traitor, if he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, he will definitely try his best to prepare food and fodder for us when he sees the imperial army. If he refuses in every possible way, he is not a rebellious minister and traitor, but he is also a traitor. Such an official is called disrespecting the court's laws at a young age. If it's too big, it will delay the military aircraft, so just kill it."
Han You's understatement surprised many people.
Lao Ba shook his head repeatedly: "No, absolutely no, it has nothing to do with Ming Zhengdian punishment, but these local officials have been entrenched for many years. If they are all cut down, who will take charge..."
Before he finished speaking about politics, Lao Ba suddenly remembered something. Wen Wu, who was always out of the palace for a walk, told him about the expansion of Yidao Camp and the fact that a large number of young officials were preparing to resign or be transferred.
Lao Ba suddenly realized: "Will you bring a talented person from Beijing to take his place?"
Qian Ji also heard about this: "I don't know the local customs and how to govern. This is the second thing. I am worried about the local aristocratic families."
"Cut them all."
Han You still spoke in an understatement: "The East China Sea has become a land outside the law. The law must be enforced. If you have your heart set on the court, how can you stop it? As I said before, disobedience will lead to rebellious ministers and traitors. The only choice is to kill the rebellious ministers and traitors!"
Zhao Tai took a breath of cold air: "Then you can't just walk all the way and grab all the way, right?"
"of course not."
Han You rolled his eyes: "The six thousand Qingqi will only rob the towns near Youzhou. When the rear army arrives, I will do a few more big ones, otherwise there will not be enough manpower."
Zhao Tai: "..."
Sun Shouting said subconsciously: "The army has robbed it, what will the local people eat?"
"The local people wouldn't have anything to eat if I didn't rob them. Only after I robbed them did they have something to eat."
"Too."
Sun Shouting blushed. He knew the situation in the East China Sea relatively well.
"Very wonderful."
Qian Ji can be considered as a compliment to Han You: "What matters to the country is the hearts of the people, not the hearts of officials or the hearts of aristocratic families. These corrupt officials, treacherous ministers and thieves have scraped the ground and sucked up the people's fat and anointing. They have already caused the anger of heaven and the people. Commander Han has seized Their food has been used by the soldiers and distributed to the people. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone. As for other things, it is not worth mentioning."
Or say that someone can be the leader of hundreds of officials, this is the pattern and vision, rob, kill, these details are not important, what is important is to make the people feel at ease, let the people have enough food, and let the army reach the East China Sea smoothly, these That's what's important. As for the death of some local officials and aristocratic families, it doesn't matter.
"I heard Commander Han say that he wants a large number of civilians to rhyme with food and grass?"
Sun Shouting was in trouble again: "Your Majesty said a few days ago that the commander-in-chief will bring at least 20,000 to 30,000 people to support 30,000 soldiers. It cannot be done by robbing alone, but if only civilians come to transport food and grass, the national treasury may be..."
Han You didn't bother to think about it: "Just tell me the number."
"Just prepare food and grass, don't talk about it before winter..."
"Oh." Han You said without turning his head, "I'll have someone deliver the two million banknotes to the household department in a moment."
Sun Shouting almost sat down on the ground. He wanted to say two hundred thousand guan.
The old man grinned and shouted: "You sold your official position for so much money?"
"His Majesty!"
Zhao Tai suddenly became upset and said without hesitation: "Commander Han is selling... No, Commander Han is expanding the Yidao Camp. The people who join the camp are not officials, but soldiers. Ordinary soldiers, just sergeants. Also, this The Yidao Guards are the emperor's personal soldiers, but they have nothing to do with the imperial court. How can Commander Han sell his official position!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Lao Ba nodded quickly and sneered.
Don't say this nonsense. In the previous dynasty, Ma Rulong did this, sold his position, and was called a powerful minister outside the court.
If he is labeled as "selling his official position", he will no longer want reputation, even though he has no reputation in the first place.
Han You's old face turned red: "It does count as selling one, but it doesn't count as selling, just seeing a talent."
Zhao Tai is convinced. I'm here to cover you up. Go ahead and blow yourself up. You must be sick.
Qian Ji smiled and said: "Let His Majesty know what the position is and how much it was sold for. Let me know. Then this matter will not be wrong."
It's still old money with brains. Selling his official position in private is called a crime. Even the monarch and his ministers know about it. That's called policy!
"Um...a captain of the Yi Dao Camp, only a ninth-grade man, sold three million strings."
There was silence in the main hall again. They all looked at Han You with extremely baffled expressions, even Huang Youwei was like this.
Qian Ji held it in for a long time and then swore: "Three million guan, just give me a fucking captain, or is Yidaoying not the captain of Yidaowei?"
Lao Ba muttered: "What you do is a bit careless."
Wen Wu nodded, he was so damn ungrateful, he was simply crazy!
"Who was sold to?" Zhou Zhenghuai asked curiously: "It couldn't be the Zhao family, right?"
Zhao Tai was so angry that his nose was crooked. My Zhao family is rich, not sick!
In fact, the Zhao family also spent money, but they were regarded as Han You's long-term strategic partners, the kind of in-depth cooperation, not like other aristocratic families or young officials in the capital.
