Chapter 150
"Chen An, during the time I've been away, has the frontline battle changed?"

As soon as he came back, Zhao Yuan couldn't wait to ask about the war on the front line. It was related to the Taizheng Kingdom's plan, so Zhao Yuan had to be cautious.Once the Dakang Kingdom in the north goes south with all its strength, under the two-front battle, the Dazheng Kingdom will suffer from the enemy.As Huang Yaoshi said, the shorter the time for this war to be resolved, the better it will be for the Dazheng Kingdom!
"Your Majesty, General Yan has conquered the Great Jade Country some time ago, and now he is attacking the Great Gorge Country. Now that General Yan has occupied two of its counties, it will not take long before he can completely occupy the Great Gorge Country!"

"Okay, well done!" Hearing this, Zhao Yuan showed a gleam of joy on his face, and in less than two months, he occupied a quarter of the space.At this speed, I believe that the land of the two coastal counties will soon be in the pocket of the Dazheng Kingdom!
However, in the three counties of Dayu Country, the combined military strength of the whole country is less than 20, and the frontline army is only a mere 50.Yan Yingyuan led an army of [-] to launch a surprise attack with lightning speed and forcibly defeated the frontline army of Dayu Kingdom.Then it took less than a month to successfully capture Dayu Country.

Although the national strength of the Great Gorge Country is a little stronger than that of the Dayu Country, it is also limited.The Daxia Kingdom's military strength in the four counties is only about [-], and it will not last long in the face of Yan Yingyuan's onslaught.

Under such a rapid attack by Da Zhengguo, other countries did not react at all.And with Su Chen meddling in it, the possibility of these countries uniting is even smaller.Even if they can unite, there are still many contradictions, and it is not difficult to overcome them individually!

What's more, after these few battles, Dayu Country was completely taken down.Not only did the army in Yan Yingyuan's hands not decrease, the original strength of 50 was directly expanded to more than 60 after accepting the surrendered troops from the Dayu Kingdom.However, this approach made Taizheng Kingdom's logistics a lot more difficult.

Don't look at these Dayu Kingdom's troops who were passive and sabotage when confronting Yan Yingyuan, but after turning their heads to obey Yan Yingyuan's orders, they are all fierce and fierce, and they can't wait to rush to the front.They knew in their hearts that after all, their current identities were surrendered soldiers, and they had to make contributions if they wanted to gain status in the new country.

And anyone with a discerning eye can see that Dazheng Kingdom wants to eat this southeast land in one bite.And as there are bound to be more and more soldiers under his command, the chances to make military exploits are also getting less and less, so naturally everyone strives to be the first.However, most of the troops under his command are surrendered soldiers. For Yan Yingyuan, how to subdue them completely is also a big problem!

"Report, front-line battle report!" Accompanied by urgent shouts, the servant rushed in frantically, and said loudly with excitement, "His Majesty, General Yan has a good news that the whole country of Daxia has surrendered! "

"Okay!" Zhao Yuan couldn't help shouting excitedly as he slammed his hand on the table.Recently, although the Dazheng Kingdom has rapidly expanded its territory, and the land has increased several times, the government and the opposition are saying that Zhao Yuan's militarism has caused the people of the Dazheng Kingdom to ignore it.In fact, in the final analysis, it is still one thing, money!
It is not only the army that fights the war, but also the logistics!In the past, Dazheng Kingdom only occupied a little more territory in the five counties, and the tax paid by the whole country for the next year was less than ten million taels of silver, that is, less than 10 taels of gold.

But now since Dazhengguo expanded its territory, tens of millions of taels of silver have been spent.If the fight continues like this, even a few more treasuries will have to be wiped out, so there is opposition from all over the court!

However, Zhao Yuan tried his best to suppress all the voices of opposition, and directly took money from the internal treasury to support the front line.Everyone in the court thought that the internal treasury was out of money, and the ambitious little emperor of his family would know the importance of money, and would stop naturally.

And they are trying to get money to enrich the national treasury, because they know that they need a lot of money to manage the land.Once the money in the internal treasury is gone, it is bound to use the money from the national treasury.And if the money in the treasury is gone, then these newly laid down sites must be in chaos!
But they didn't expect that the palace treasury was like a cornucopia, and it couldn't be empty no matter what. A sum of gold was lifted out, which directly made the war machine of the Taizheng Kingdom continue to start.One piece after another was knocked down, and the territory of Dazheng Kingdom doubled and doubled.

And these adults sadly discovered that once the Dazheng Kingdom calmed down to manage these newly expanded sites, it seemed that the treasury was emptied and it would not be enough to plug this hole.Immediately, the voice of anti-war became louder and louder, but was suppressed by Zhao Yuan time and time again.In the end, as a last resort, Zhao Yuan moved several 10 taels of gold from the internal treasury and put them into the national treasury, which calmed them down a lot.

But now that Zhao Yuan sent Yan Yingyuan to attack the two counties along the eastern coast, the adults panicked again, and warned Zhao Yuan not to rush to expand the territory, and to focus on stability.On the other hand, it is counting with fingers whether the treasury has enough money after taking the land of these two counties!

However, these were useless, the army was firmly controlled by Zhao Yuan, and they could not interfere with the war at all.Faced with the persuasion of these courtiers, Zhao Yuan also has a headache now, he can't tell them that his internal treasury is full now!
Wansanqian brought him more than 1000 million taels of gold. This amount of money was enough for the national tax revenue of the Dazheng Kingdom for more than 100 years, which had not yet expanded its territory, and was enough to support the consumption of the Taizheng Kingdom for a long time.

But once the news that Dazheng Kingdom has so much money spreads, even those great dynasties and sects will be jealous, and he is afraid that thieves will think about it!
"Your Majesty is going to the front?" Hearing Zhao Yuan's decision, Chen An immediately replied, "Your Majesty, prepare immediately!"

"No need, I'll travel lightly, just go as fast as I can. I'll spread the news when I get there, so as not to be blocked by those people in the court!"

Zhao Yuan felt a headache when he thought of the dissuasion from everyone in the court.Maybe they could kneel at the palace gate to stop him. Even if they didn't stop him, the messy preparations would give people a headache for a long time.By the time everyone is ready and rushing to the front line, a month or two may have passed.It would be better to sneak past and kill first and then show off!
It seems that after a while, he will have to spend part of the money to enrich the treasury, otherwise these ministers must feel uneasy.However, if he spends so much money again and again, it is inevitable that he will be noticed by those who are interested, and it may be another trouble at that time!
"Let An Jianqing prepare, and also, let Mr. Zhuge accompany the army to protect him!"

"Yes, servant, go down and get ready!"
