Chapter 54 (2/2)
He regretted that if he had insisted that the Lord give priority to encircle and suppress Zhao Yuanjin, he might not have this trouble now. After exterminating Zhao Yuanjin, we should have time to deal with Wu zhence, right?
Zhang Minzhong was silent for a while and sighed: ”the imperial court is becoming more and more difficult. All the money deposited by the Hubu Department has been less than 600000 taels. Now hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting in various places, and one day's expenditure on food, salary and armaments has to be spent 100000 Liang. How can there be any surplus financial resources to send troops again to encircle and suppress Zhao's rebellion?”
Sixty million taels of silver sounds like a huge sum. However, the imperial court has a large family and a great cause, and various expenses are numerous. In particular, it is not enough to support hundreds of thousands of troops to go to war.
At this time, in fact, one-third of the territory of Qi is not under the control of the imperial court. In other words, the amount of tax money that can be collected every year is decreasing. For Zhang Minzhong, the first assistant, this family is becoming more and more difficult.
If we are determined to send troops to Jingzhou, we will certainly not use them if there are fewer people. That would be equivalent to giving Zhao Yuanjing a free dish. At least 200000 troops are needed to be barely enough. It also needs to be an elite army, and the commander-in-chief must be a famous general.
However, there are only about 350000 elite troops stationed in the vicinity of the capital, together with the forbidden troops. This is the last capital of the imperial court of the Qi Dynasty. If another 200000 yuan is transferred out, the security of the imperial capital will be hard to guarantee.If hundreds of thousands of new troops are to be reorganized, the time will certainly be too late, not to mention whether the financial resources of the court can afford it.
”Maybe let Luo Yanxiong divide some troops to deal with...”
In the middle of his speech, Cao Yun shook his head and denied his intention. Now that Luo Yanxiong has won the upper hand in encircling and suppressing Wu zhence, how can he divide his troops at will? If you are careless, you may lose both ends.
”In this case, the Lord can send many masters to assassinate Wu zhence, end the war in Huaiyang area as soon as possible, and then order Luo Yanxiong to move to Jingchu to encircle Zhao Yuanjin.” Cao Yun said.
Since the founding of the Qi Dynasty for hundreds of years, the details are deep after all, and some secret resources and contacts are naturally not lacking. Not only did the emperor have many top masters sitting in the capital, but even Shoufu's residence had a lot of expert dead men. If they tried to recruit a group of them temporarily, even if the cost was higher, it would not be higher than the cost of sending out hundreds of thousands of troops.
Zhang Minzhong thought about it and finally nodded: ”well, this is the most feasible method at present.”
……
Xiangyang City.
”Are you going back, sir?”
In the study, Zhao Yuanjin, who had been admitted to the throne of the Duke of Chu, asked.
”Well, there won't be any new wars in Jingchu for half a year. I just go back to deal with some things.”
Qin Feng handed him a light blue prism crystal the size of a thumb, and explained: ”if the situation in the South changes, or if there is a crisis that is hard to deal with, as long as I crush this thing, I will receive the news and rush to share the worries for the Duke of China as soon as possible.”
Zhao Yuanjin put down his heart a little, he is not affectation, now his foundation depends on this mysterious immortal support, once Qin Feng is not here, he really don't know what to do.
