Please, let me be a fool

That's right, it's only been a few days, and civil strife is also happening in Tiandu Kingdom, even though the situation has become clear.

But King Ah Li had notified Tian Du for more than ten years, his majesty was still there, how could he be replaced so easily.

However, the northern and southern clans have already risen, and there is also the Duke of Ahqin. It is only a matter of time before they are replaced.

As for the country, the biggest thing is the reform.

Now it can be said that the dust has settled, and the next step is just the issue of taxation. With Song Gongwen's full grasp of these, there will be no problems.

Therefore, in this imperial meeting, none of the people present had much to report.

But this is the rule set by the ancestors, and it must be held.

Even Lin Yuansong knew that there was trouble in the southern border.

But also know.

With the strength of the defenders in the southern border, even if someone invades the land of Baiyue, they can still stop it.

As for the others, it is completely gone.

all in all.

In today's Great Wei, everything is developing in a good direction, and everything is thriving!

At this moment, all the ministers were talking and laughing, only Zhang Zhengming remained silent as usual.

"His Majesty is here!"

At this moment.

Wang Jin's voice came from outside.

Everyone got up immediately and respectfully said: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Wei Yunyi walked in, let it go, didn't say anything, sat directly on the main seat, looked at the important court officials in front of him, especially after seeing the old man, he became very angry.

This is the person who promoted the idea of ​​spreading the money into the family, thinking that the other party could disrupt the court situation and help him curb his luck.

But in the end, it was completely different, not only did things not get done.

It also directly filled the treasury...

It's rude to meet people!

Now he especially hopes that these people can report some bad news, the bigger the better, the better, so that he can be happy.

It's just that Wei Yunyi's heart sank when he saw the relaxed faces of those present.

Because from this point, he can see it.

Not much has happened lately.

Just like the memorial I saw at Concubine Ying's place, even if something happened, it would not affect the overall situation.

This made Wei Yunyi very helpless, but he still couldn't help holding some hope in his heart, and said: "My dear friends, let's start, if there is something, start reporting."

The voice fell.

No one spoke, they all looked at each other.

Indeed, they had nothing to report, because everyone thought that His Majesty would probably inquire about the situation in Tiandu Kingdom and the northern border, but now it seems that His Majesty has no such intention at all.

really!

After Wei Yunyi saw this, he was completely disappointed, his eyes glazed over.

But at this moment, Lin Yuansong came out, bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

(

Chapter 189 The Royal Conquest of the Land of Baiyue 【Ask for a monthly ticket】

Seeing Lin Yuansong walk out, Wei Yunyi's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed.

Nothing major has happened recently, he is very clear about this, the other party is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and what he wants to report back and forth is all related to the military.

But now, whether it is Tiandu or the grassland tribe, Wei has gained an absolute advantage, not to mention the coastal areas. Since the third prince of the Yuan Dynasty suffered a heavy loss last time, it has been a long time since the pirates came ashore. .

Therefore, it can be concluded from this that what Lin Yuansong reported was definitely not a big deal.

Of course, since the other party has spoken, it is natural to listen.

At this moment Wei Yunyi nodded: "Let's talk."

Lin Yuan, who was allowed, bowed, and then said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I received a military report from the southern border, saying that it is the land of Baiyue, and people often invade it recently. We have received news that Baiyue has a He was a leader who conquered all the tribes in Baiyue, and was regarded as a barbarian, with an army of nearly two hundred thousand under his command."

"After the leader conquered all parts of Baiyue, he didn't seem to be a barbarian. He wanted to go north. Zhennan Pass has been attacked many times, but fortunately, the enemy's operations were small-scale and did not attack on a large scale. Therefore, Zhennan Pass The pressure on the gatekeepers is not very great."

"However, because of the war in the northern border, the supplies of the Ministry of War and the food and grass of the Ministry of Households are all close to the Zhenbei Pass. Now, the Khan of the Nine Divisions has been captured alive, and our Great Wei has an absolute advantage, so I think, what's next? Don't you want to support the Zhennan Pass defenders?"

Why is there something wrong with Baiyue outside Nanwai?

heard.

Wei Yunyi frowned slightly, and immediately gave up, and was about to open his mouth to let the other party figure it out.

But soon, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of something.

The Great Wei had a vast territory and bordered many countries, such as the grasslands, such as the Tiandu Kingdom, which was originally the destroyed Gaoyang Kingdom.

However, the most threatening ones, except for the grassland tribes outside the northern border.

It is the Baiyue tribe outside the southern border.

and so.

There is Zhenbei Pass in the north and Zhennan Pass in the south.

Of course, because the tribes in Baiyue are as numerous as stars, there are hundreds of them, and they also fight with each other, so under normal circumstances, the southern border is safe. Only sometimes, Baiyue wants to Outside of the autumn wind in Dawei, it will be twisted into a rope.

At other times, everyone has their own ideas, and the threat is far less than that of the grassland tribes.

And now, a leader has emerged from the land of Baiyue.

Directly conquered hundreds of tribes.

Was regarded as a barbarian.

Presumably in the next period of time, the pressure on the garrison at Zhenbeiguan will be great, so let the imperial court pay more attention to it, support more supplies and food, and prevent the land of Baiyue from invading.

But even so, Lin Yuansong, who was the minister of the Ministry of War, did not suggest sending troops to Baiyue.

It should be noted that the current Great Wei is fully capable of fighting foreign enemies.

After all, whether it is the grassland or the kingdom of heaven.

These two great enemies are temporarily unable to pose a threat to Wei, and it is normal to send troops to defeat foreign enemies.

But why didn't the other party mention it, but chose passive defense?

Wei Yunyi knew that the reason was very simple.

That is, the terrain of Baiyue is too complicated, with many mountains and rivers.

If we say that the grassland is endless, and Wei can still rely on the advantages of bows and crossbows to fight head-on with the grassland cavalry, then the land of Baiyue is completely different, with many mountains and forests, as well as various miasma, mud, and thorny jungles.

Not to mention iron cavalry, it is very difficult even for pawns to move forward.

In the past dynasties, there were not no examples of the Central Plains sending troops to the land of Baiyue, but without exception, all of them failed.

The loss is even more than that of the grassland battle. The problem is that in that place, neither cavalry nor infantry can be used.Coupled with the high mountains and deep water, after a million troops enter, the effect is not very great.

It is precisely because of this that the Central Plains dynasties have always focused on defense against Baiyue and did not take the initiative to attack.

After all, the price is too high, often even the enemy is not found, and the convenience of oneself suffers a heavy loss.

Even now, Great Wei is in a strong state in all aspects.

But Lin Yuansong didn't bring up the matter of soldiers at all.

Especially Wei Yunyi observed it.

The other party's words made everyone including Zhang Zhengming and even the old man nod slightly. Although the others didn't speak, they obviously agreed.

And this means that the cabinet never thought of sending troops to Baiyue, because it was meaningless.

For a country, doing meaningless things is obviously not worth the candle.

It may also affect the stability of the court and the country, which is not a good thing.

But all this is completely different for Wei Yunyi.

A few days ago, the month-end settlement directly increased the fortune by [-].

And the influence will definitely continue to expand over time, until now he has no way to stop it.

But now, with this incident happening in the southern border, and the enemy is Baiyue, a place that was considered difficult to conquer by all dynasties, if under such circumstances, he decides to send troops to quell the chaos, wouldn't it be possible to kill multiple birds with one stone?

After all, Wei Yunyi knows very well that the land of Baiyue is difficult to conquer, and it is meaningless to send troops.

Especially when the enemy retreats, the army can be completely empty.

As for going deep into Baiyue, you will be ambushed.

Coupled with the messy terrain and all kinds of miasma, it caused damage to the army.

Wei Yunyi does not have to make proactive or even in-depth decisions.

Just send the army directly to garrison outside the Zhennan Pass to frighten off the enemies of Baiyue. To put it bluntly, it is just to take the army for a walk.

In this way, it is equivalent to no military victory at all, which affects bad luck.More importantly, war is the most expensive thing to consume, especially the more people there are, the more money will be spent, even if they do nothing.

I don't know, if it weren't for the war in the northern border, the bank of the household department could fully support the two major projects.

But in the end, why was the household department still emptied?

The fundamental reason is that the front line is still fighting.

Just right.

If the father-in-law succeeds in promoting the taxation of the land into the mu, he will have to collect a lot of taxes, and he doesn't know how to spend the money.

Just sending troops to Baiyue can consume one or two!

Send troops, definitely send troops!

Thoughts so far.

Wei Yunyi's whole body began to get excited. He thought that today would be like this, but he didn't expect to suddenly find such a way to curb his luck.

Moreover, he also decided that for this battle against Baiyue, troops from all parties must be mobilized, at least no less than 20.

The reason is also simple, as I thought before, the more people there are, the more expenses will be spent.

Immediately, Wei Yunyi cleared his throat, looked at Lin Yuansong present, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Aiqing's words are wrong, there are foreign enemies outside Zhennan Pass, how can the court just sit back and ignore them? Zhennan The officers and men of Guan fought bloody battles and suffered injuries, which is undoubtedly a disgrace to me, and I have also forged a blood feud."

"Aiqing, as the minister of the Ministry of War, you don't say a word about sending troops. You just want to increase the supplies and food at Zhennan Pass. Doesn't this encourage the arrogance of Baiyue? If things go on like this, the surrounding countries may be I no longer have any reverence for my Great Wei!"

What Wei Yunyi said in this speech can be regarded as impassioned, well-founded, and standing on the righteous side.

That's right, the enemy of Baiyue invaded the border of the Great Wei, even if it did not cause substantial losses.

But if the imperial court didn't respond at all, they wouldn't even dare to take the initiative to attack.

This undoubtedly damaged the majesty of Wei.

After all, the dignity of a country is truly achieved.

Baiyue, in terms of strength, is much weaker than the grassland. Now, the Great Wei has gained an absolute advantage in the battle against the grassland, but when facing a weaker enemy, he has the heart to retreat, which will undoubtedly Let the surrounding countries underestimate it.

Even if the countries know that Baiyue has complex terrain, mountains, forests, and rivers, it is difficult to conquer.

But these are two different things, because in the eyes of various countries, Great Wei just didn't dare to respond to Baiyue's invasion.

And the reason why Wei Yunyi said so much was to find an excuse to send troops.

To govern a country, there are too many factors to consider.

If he doesn't make this matter more serious.

How to make these ministers willingly support him?

So I have to occupy the commanding heights in righteousness, and the national dignity is not considered great?
