A country that fights recklessly does not mean it is strong. It is truly powerful if it can grasp the overall situation and stand firm in the ups and downs of history.

It's like after a normal man has a family, even if he can fight, he can't be considered a real man, but a most useless cripple.

This is like some courtiers who remonstrate with death at every turn.Some courtiers remonstrated with death because it was a matter of national importance, and they hoped to exchange their lives for the king's sobriety, the country's prosperity and people's peace, and eventually his name will go down in history.

However, there are some courtiers who are purely joking. For the sake of fame and history, they don't think about solutions to major and minor issues, and they always remonstrate with death.

This kind of courtiers are those who want to fight recklessly after they have a family.

They think they are not afraid of death and can accomplish anything, but they are actually a bunch of jumping clowns.

A real man carries a family on his back, even if he can be beaten, sometimes he would rather be beaten, as long as he can protect a family, damage to his reputation is nothing, loss of face is nothing, this is a real man.

In the same way, a truly loyal and capable minister, even if he has the determination to sacrifice his life for the country, must not always talk about dying.

Die for the empire, although generous, but death is easy, the most difficult thing is that life is worse than death.

For the sake of the empire, the true loyal ministers can only give up their generosity and righteousness, bear the burden of humiliation, bear the eternal infamy, and move forward with heavy burdens.

Their decisions sometimes seem cowardly and not heroic enough, but they are often such unheroic decisions, which can usually save the building from collapse and save the lives of thousands of people.

"It's easy to say, but when will my Great Qin's current strength be able to compete against the current Xiongnu, Donghu, and even the Yelang Kingdom that is gradually growing in the southwest?"

As soon as Xiao He nodded in agreement, Zhang Liang poured cold water on everyone, saying: "When the two countries completely take over the countries in the northern part of the Great Wall, at that time, there will be at least 250 million coalition forces in one place."

"Combined with the gradually growing Yelang Kingdom, there will be an army of 300 million. Even if our Great Qin has well-equipped soldiers and horses, to contend with such a large army, we need at least 150 million troops!"

"Except for the veterans guarding the Great Wall, there are only 30 recruits still training in Daqin."

"If each batch of 30 troops is calculated, a batch of three years will take 15 years for Daqin to have enough strength to compete with other countries. Even at all costs, recruit 150 million troops in one go. Don't say it to me Daqin Will the burden be too heavy, but it will take at least three years to become popular!"

"That is to say, it will take at least three years for Daqin to compete with the other countries. These three years are not guaranteed."

"At least the Xiongnu and Donghu, each of which needs to support more than 100 million troops, will be difficult to maintain with their strength. The only thing they can do is plunder!"

"And Great Qin will be the best target for their plunder. Therefore, the war between these two countries against our Great Qin will be imminent. Let alone three years, even one year, there will be no chance to squeeze out. This is a fact, and it is also the current situation. Great Qin's biggest catastrophe!"

Zhang Liang, as the minister of the Ministry of War and the former great military advisor of the Great Qin Dynasty, has always seen the world war more clearly than anyone else.

Why to fight, what the general situation is, etc., no one can see more clearly than him.

According to common sense, Zhang Liang at this moment, without knowing that Tianmen has firmly controlled the northern countries, judged from his experience that the Xiongnu and Donghu are both powerful countries in the north.

Both countries are frantically devouring the world, and both are frantically expanding their military strength.

But at the same time as the strength of the army grows, with the productivity of the two countries, these soldiers cannot be supported at all.

In other words, the usual number of troops of the two countries is basically maintained at around 80 million. This is already the largest force they can afford. The reason why they have not withdrawn their troops is to guard against each other.

Nowadays, the army is expanding wildly, and when it cannot be supported, plunder, war, and soldiers are the best way to maintain this army.

Only by plundering wildly can there be enough food.Only with enough food can we continue to support this army.

This is a cycle, and outside the cycle, it is often the prey who suffer.For example, the Great Qin that is about to be plundered.

Daqin couldn't bear it, but he had to resist it, otherwise there was only one way to go: destruction.

"Master Zhang is right. Daqin is facing too many difficulties now. But no matter how many, this is not the reason for me, Daqin, to give up resistance."

"Of course it's irrational to start a war desperately, but you have to prepare for what you should. Take one step at a time. It's really the end, and it's never too late to try your best!"

Regarding Zhang Liang's proposal, Shu Suntong nodded slightly and said undeniably.

"Well, let's think about other ways. Besides, Mr. Mo Shang, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, so let's put other things aside for now."

"From now on, the Ministry of Industry does not have to produce anything, but all strategic equipment must be built at the fastest speed. As much as it can be built."

"Although I don't have enough soldiers and horses in Daqin, but at the last moment, even if this old man fights this old bone, I will take all the students of Daqin to put on armor and fight against the enemy!"

While speaking, although Daqin hadn't ushered in the worst result yet, Shu Suntong had already prepared for the worst.

"That's right, it seems that there is only this way. In addition, Mr. Xiao He, you and Mr. Situ Feng, Minister of the Household Department, are also ready."

"From today onwards, the treasury granary will become Daqin's last lifeline. If this battle breaks out, how long my Daqin can last, and whether I have a chance to survive it all depends on how long this last lifeline can last!"

Di Renjie nodded and agreed.

"Don't tell me, I almost forgot. Since some time ago, the 30 army equipment needed by His Majesty was rushed out and sent to the Lantian Camp, the Ministry of Industry has not made any more equipment."

"I thought that it would not be too late to make preparations when I build up an army in the future. As a result, now that the crisis is approaching, I almost forgot to prepare for a rainy day!"

"Now that the Grand Tutor has mentioned it, everyone can rest assured. As long as Mo Shang is still in the Ministry of Industry, Mo Shang can provide as much armor as Daqin needs!"

"Mo Shang can take out as many weapons as Daqin needs, and they are guaranteed to be excellent!"

Mo Shang cupped his hands and said solemnly.

Chapter 715 Consensus

"Well, there is no problem with the Ministry of Industry, and there is no problem with my Ministry of Household Affairs. Starting today, this official will immediately start a strict investigation of household registration taxes for this year, and collect all owed money into the national treasury, as well as food. Transfer them all to the granary, and promise not to reveal the meaning!"

"Just like Master Mo Shang, as long as I, Situ Feng, are in the household department for a day, I can provide as much food as Daqin needs."

"As much money as Daqin needs, I can make Daqin have as much money as I do. At least I won't drag Daqin down here!"

As Mo Shang's words fell, Situ Feng, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, also cupped his fists, speaking solemnly.

"Since the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households have made up their minds, Xiao He will take full control of the rear of the Qin Dynasty, and he will definitely not disappoint everyone!"

"Starting from today, Xiao He must strictly investigate any expenses of Daqin to ensure that Daqin will survive this calamity safely!"

Xiao He cupped his hands and said with a smile.

"Well, since everyone has made up their minds, after three days, the wedding ceremony will be over, and I will go to His Majesty the Emperor in person to talk about the expansion of the army."

"Everything is ready, I will leave this last medicine to the old man. As the Tai Bao, the old man should protect me forever!"

Seeing this, Di Renjie also smiled slightly, and continued.

While speaking, the Sangong and the Six Divisions represented the Great Qin Daqin Sheji artifact, which began to run slowly, and the speed was getting worse and worse.

Daqin's artifact of the country, from the previous farming and ruling the country, has gradually entered the mode of war.

This is the magic of a country's society. In many cases, it is not that a country does not act, nor does it not plan for a rainy day. It is just that the situation it faces is different, and the direction of operation of this country's artifact will be different.

But in the final analysis, the country is the country, the country is the people, and the people are the world.

No matter how the Saji Artifact rotates, the final purpose is for the world after all.This is the will of all peoples, the will of the world.

……

After some discussion, everyone realized that they were still in the palace.

The emperor had been away for a long time, and they were still staying here, obviously rude, they immediately got up one by one, left the palace, bid farewell to each other and left.

On the other side, Ying Shou returned to the study.

Every word and deed of these people fell into his ears almost without distinction.

Hearing the report from the eagle eye who had been watching everyone behind him, Ying Shou sneered and said, "It's really unnecessary. A mere Xiongnu, Donghu, can be wiped out in front of me with a wave of his hand."

"However, each one of them has to face a big enemy. It's really embarrassing to me!"

Hawkeye raised his head, looked at Ying Shou, and said, "Since your majesty has the ability to fight, why didn't you speak out in front of all your ministers?"

"Now, Your Majesty has recruited 30 troops in the southern border, and another 30 troops in Tianfu, plus 20 new troops from the Lantian camp, and more than 30 troops guarding the Great Wall, and my Great Qin has nearly a million troops. It’s where people’s confidence lies.”

"But now, in the eyes of the ministers, besides the more than 20 troops guarding the Great Wall, there are only 30 new recruits from the Lantian Camp. They also have no confidence, so they can only choose this way."

"Otherwise let the ministers know that Daqin has a million-strong army, and they won't appear so powerless!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Shou smiled wryly and said, "You think telling them all this will give them confidence? You haven't understood what they mean. It takes at least three years for recruits to fight."

"So, they put their hopes on the recruits, but this hope can only be carried by the army trained in the future."

"As for the present, let alone 100 million recruits, even if 300 million are in front of them, they will not pin their hopes on recruits. Therefore, this cannot be their confidence!"

"Of course, there is nothing wrong with what they did. The Sangong and Six Ministries are the pillars of the imperial court. As important officials of the imperial court, they should be the leader. Everything should be under their control, instead of pinning all hopes on others."

"Thus, although I am not happy with their choice, it does not mean that I do not support them. Not only do I agree with their actions, but I will spare no effort to give them a push!"

"It's still the same sentence, I can protect the Great Qin for a while, and protect the peace of the Great Qin, but I can't protect the Great Qin forever. This Great Qin community should not be protected by me, but should be protected by myself."

"From now on, unless Daqin really comes to the last moment of life and death, otherwise, I will not make another move."

"The method chosen by the ministers seems to be struggling for survival, but it is indeed the best choice after breaking away from my protection."

"I was very disappointed with them before. As for now, although I am dissatisfied, at least they have given me hope for the future!"

"Under the violent wind and rain, after this catastrophe, I believe that everyone will be alone. The Daqin at that time will be the Daqin I want most!"

While speaking, Ying Shou changed the subject and agreed with the ministers' decision very rarely.

It's just this recognition, the officials will not know that what they have to do is not only to resist the pressure of foreign enemies, but also the pressure from Yingshou.

"Your Majesty is right, forgive me for being stupid, and now I understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts!"

Hawkeye heard this, and couldn't help cupping his hands, full of admiration.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. You heard it too, then Xiao He is going to start checking the treasury and the granary now."

"Some time ago, in order to allow Ren Xiao and Yuwen Chengdu to secretly train troops, I have blocked back all the taxes and grains handed over in the southern border, and I have also returned a lot of Bashu, so that the two of them can use it first."

"Once Xiao He seriously checks it now, it will be a big loophole. I don't want them to know about the military training in the southern border yet!"

"In this way, you immediately change the record in the account about the taxation of grain in the southern border and Bashu, and change it to hide the grain in the hidden grain warehouse behind the Lantian Camp."

"I dug this hole, and I have to fill it in. As for the southern army, I will leave it to them as the biggest backup in this calamity. I hope that at the critical moment, I can relieve their pressure!"

Ying Shou waved his hand, changed the topic, and while speaking, he had already laid aside all Daqin's tricks.

When the trap from Donghu is opened and he jumps in, the game is fully activated, and the world has taken on a new look ever since.

"promise……"

After hearing the words, Hawkeye clasped his hands and agreed, and after a while, he disappeared into the imperial study room without a sound.

After Hawkeye left, Ying Shou took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted: "Come here, pass the decree to the world. Three days later, on a good day, I will personally preside over the wedding of the three generals Li Yuanba, Xu Chu, and Wang Lin, and let the three of them Put down everything in your hands and prepare early!"

After finishing speaking, Ying Shou took up his pen and wrote three imperial decrees in succession, which were immediately delivered to the Taifu's mansion and the new general's mansion bestowed on Xu Chu and Li Yuanba.

This scene seemed to tell Shusun Tong and the others that he really didn't care about the war between countries.Relatively speaking, he is more concerned about an insignificant wedding ceremony.

Chapter 716 Ai Hong everywhere

Late autumn is over, the cold wind hits, the sky is frosty, the snow is flying, the world is wrapped in cold clothes, what a white and snowy world.

"kill……"

"kill……"

However, in this white and flawless world, a small country named Rongming in the southwest, is covered with blood.

The bright red and snowy white echo each other, turning into a miserable yet majestic portrait between heaven and earth.

This is a portrait of blood and tears in the history of Jiangshan. In this portrait, Rongming Capital City is desperately resisting.

However, Rong Ming's army was no more than 30, and the guards in the capital were no more than [-]. Even if they resisted desperately, under the iron cavalry of Yelang's [-] army, it would be difficult to resist for a while.

When the city was broken, blood was all over the city wall, and under the city head, corpses were scattered all over the field, and blood flowed like a river.

The hot blood melted the snow on the ground.

A figure stood at the top of the city, wearing a blood-red cloak, wearing a golden armor, holding a long sword, reaching to the sky, and shouted in a deep voice: "Those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish. Anyone who kneels and surrenders will survive!" "

This person is none other than Han Xin, Grand Marshal of the Yelang Kingdom.

As his words fell, tens of thousands of people in the city knelt down and surrendered, daring no longer to resist.

A big battle came and went quickly, and it calmed down without much effort.

"Report to Marshal, Rong Ming has surrendered!"

Soon, all the generals gathered and knelt behind Han Xin at the same time, respectfully reporting.

"Very well, everyone in the city over the age of 16 and under the age of 30 will all be exiled to the army, but those who dare not follow will be killed without mercy. Rongming treasury granaries will all be refilled into my Yelang treasury!"
