At the same time, as the guards of the towns and governors of various places returned to Jianye City, a small court meeting was held in the main hall of the Wu Palace.
"We will meet King Wu."
In the hall, a group of civil and military officers bowed down one after another.
Lu Zizheng saw at a glance that Sima Xu Shu of Yangzhou, Zhang Liao, Governor of Xuzhou, Zang Ba, Governor of Qingzhou, Sima Lumeng of Jingzhou, Sima Kuai Yue of Yizhou, Sima Wu Xian of Jiaozhou, Shi Wei of Liangzhou, Zhu Huan, Governor of Hanzhong, Zhou Tai, Governor of the Yangtze River, Zhu Zhi, Governor of Huaihe, and Xu Huang, Governor of Nanyang, were almost all officials of one side of the frontier.
At this moment, they were all gathered here, and the first thing Liu Qi did was to order Dai Liang to read out the reward for them, and before that, they had already presented the tributes they had brought from various states, which was full of tributes in a backyard of King Wu's mansion.
"Excuse me."
Liu Qi raised his hands weakly, and the ministers got up one after another.
Dai Liang stepped forward and said in a loud voice, "Sit." ” A group of ministers sat on both sides, the four ministers of the cabinet on the left, headed by the six Shangshu, and the military generals led by Tai Shici on the right.
"I invite you to come here today, and I have to let some of you wait until you all return to Jianye to hold a meeting, just for a big event."
The Chinese Wu ministers glanced at each other, but they did not make a sound, quietly listening to Liu Qi's words.
"The number one thing is to go without a fight for five years."
Hearing the words of "no war for five years", the faces of the generals changed greatly.
But I saw Xu Huang raise his feet and go out of the ranks, "My lord, our army swept the land of Yizhou, Liangzhou, Qingzhou, and Nanyang this year, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Yuan Tan, and Cao Cao are not the land of our army, and now it is a great opportunity to march into the Central Plains, sweep the world, and support the Han family, why should we let the princes of the north rest and recuperate?"
Under the hall, a head of the military department replied: "General Gongming, you know that if our army wants to enter Guanzhong and the Central Plains, it must have at least tens of thousands of iron cavalry, and it will take two or three years to train iron cavalry and manufacture the standard armor and weapons used in cavalry. ” Xu Huang glanced at him coldly, "Ridiculous, in the hall are all General Wu Jiangdong, General Wenyuan, General Zilong, General Ziyi, which one is not a fierce general who is good at commanding cavalry, they train cavalry, but it can become an army in a year and a half, and within two or three years, it will be a battle, I think that at most three years, our army can hoard grain and grass, rectify the army, and wave the army to the north, if it is too late, wait for Cao Cao to capture Youzhou, Sun Quan integrates the power of the state and Guanzhong, Liu Bei recuperates after Yuzhou, our army goes north again, and the enemy is attacked on three sides, We will be in danger of being attacked from many sides in this year. ” "The last general seconded the proposal, since ancient times, multi-faceted combat is a taboo for soldiers, the lord, the generals in our army all think that they can fight, the lord was also a brave general on the battlefield in the past, and should know that the victory of our Jiangdong army in a hundred battles depends on our fearlessness of death, for the reason of the first arrival."
Zang Ba clenched his fists and shouted.
"My lord, we will fight."
"Lord, don't take a break for five years, my army is a son, and you can go to the battlefield again in two or three years."
After hearing this, it was Zhu Zhi who also stepped out of the ranks, "Lord, after two or three years, I can get 20,000 elite sailors of the Huaihe River Division, and then I can cover the army to the north and seize the counties of Runan in advance. ” Liu Qi smiled bitterly, his gaze turned to Zhang Zhao, but he saw Zhang Zhao coming out of the ranks, "The generals are a little restless, we are not stopping the generals from making contributions on the battlefield, and the generals can fight well, and the world knows it."
But the land of the states in the east of the Yangtze River, Qingzhou suffered from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and now due to the new water division and iron cavalry, there is a shortage of finances, and the 10,000 yuan obtained by the treasury bond coupons in January has been allocated to Qingzhou, and the matter of Tuntian and the formation of cavalry and water divisions should be put on the itinerary, not to mention, there are also shipbuilding workshops and craftsmen along the coast that need to be spent, I am afraid that this 10,000 yuan is just a drop in the bucket, and now I have a shortage of money and food under the rule of Wu Jiangdong, if it is not for King Wu to donate all the daily use in the palace, I am afraid that I will not be able to make ends meet. ” "In addition, in the land of Liangzhou, the land is barren, rice cannot be planted, and most of them can only be planted with drought-tolerant things from Shuzhou and the Western Regions, but the one or two million people in Liangzhou are still short of food and clothing, and most of the grain depends on Yizhou and Jingzhou."
As he spoke, Zhang Zhao walked to the hall with his feet raised, took out a copy of the fold from his sleeve in front of a group of military generals, spread it out and read aloud: "In March of this year, my department will count the people's grain from the states and counties and the grain stocks of the state and county governments. ” "In the land of Qingzhou, 250,000 stone grain and grass per year are still needed in the next two years, and 300,000 grains and grass per year are still needed in the next two years."
"In addition, the surplus grain cultivated in the three prefectures of Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Xuzhou can be supplied to several states, and the surplus grain in the six counties of Yangzhou can be stored for military use."
"In addition, there are nearly 300,000 troops in Jiangdong, and most of the standing soldiers and horses are Tuntian soldiers, but most of them have been requisitioned during the war, and after the requisition, the burden of money and food is too great.
As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhang Liao's eyebrows frowning slightly, "Zhang Shangshu, after Jiaozhou discovered wild rice for General Zhu Huan, a lot of rice has been cultivated, and now it is planted in a large area, and more than 200,000 people of Barbarian Yue are responsible for cultivating and opening up the road, and now there are sea fish, rice, and chestnut rice, which have been planted for one or two years, why is it not enough for the needs of one or two million people in Jiaozhou?"
Zhang Zhao looked at Zhang Liao lightly, "General Wenyuan can know that there are nearly three million people in Jiaozhou now, and our army has successively moved hundreds of thousands of people from the mountains and forests of Jiaozhou to various counties in Jiaozhou for resettlement in the past one or two years, reclaimed the mountains and forests, and the acres of land have increased, but the two or three hundred thousand people who built the gallop road are more and more refined, and how much food they have to eat every day, General Wenyuan can know." "300,000 stone grain and grass, or Jiaozhou's land commercial tax, if it is carefully calculated, I am afraid that the grain and grass transferred into Jiaozhou every year is not less than 700,000 stone."
Hearing this, all the generals in the field gasped.
"What I Zhang Zibu said is nothing else, just to warn the generals, the lord's intention now is not to easily start a war with the princes of the North, once the war starts, we must first capture the next one with the power of thunder, Cao Cao crossed the Yellow River to the north, Chen Liu, only left Xun You to guard, abandon the Son of Heaven in disregard, the number one enemy of our army is that Liu Bei, Sun Quan, you think, these two families, our army should destroy who first" Hearing this, another controversy broke out in the hall.
"Sun Quan Nanyang north of Wuguan, Hangu Pass, Hanzhong west of Chencang Tianxian, our army wants to attack Chang'an from Zuo Fengling, but also need to fight with Sun Quan, but after the battle of Wudu, Xiliang Tieqi is greatly injured, think they will not be easy to fight."
"Yes, yes."
"So it is better to attack Liu Bei, our army all the way to the 50,000 Jingzhou army of the governor of Lümeng and the army of the governor of Nanyang Xu Huang, the troops sent to Yingchuan, all the way to the north of the river, with the Huainan army to attack Huaibei, and then lead an army from Qingzhou south to Jibei County, all the way from Pengcheng to the hinterland of Yuzhou, the four roads converge, enough to destroy Liu."
Liu Qi suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, this group of generals regarded this court as a military tent for deliberations.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you don't start a war in five years, it is to prepare our army's rations, form cavalry and sailors, and there are two top priorities."
As soon as Liu Qi spoke, the hall fell silent again.
"One of them is to open up the trade route in the Western Regions."
As he spoke, he glanced at the person at the end of the military generals in the hall, "Zhang Ren is out of the ranks." ” "The end will be."
Zhang Ren, who was wearing armor, had a serious face on his face, he took refuge in Liu Qi because of the old post man who was kidnapped in the middle of the road.
"Gu Bairu was the protector of the Western Regions, and he organized the Qiang cavalry and the Han army to go out of Liangzhou, go to the Western Regions, and stationed in the Western Regions at the old site, and cooperate with the soldiers of Liangzhou to reopen the Silk Road."
"Back to the lord, the Qiang people in Liangzhou are powerful, not to mention that there are many Hu tribes in the north, if I go out of Liangzhou to the west, I am afraid that I will face a lot of Hu people besieged, Liangzhou soldiers guard the land, Wudu, and the land, and the division of troops is already tired, then Sun Quan ordered Ma Teng Han Sui to garrison troops in the land of Liangzhou, if the soldiers of Liangzhou are transferred, I am afraid that they will attack."
Liu Qi chuckled, his eyes swept away, and fell on Zhao Yun in the hall, "Zilong, let me ask you, if the enemy army goes all the way out of Chencang, all the way out of Zuo Feng Ling, and divides troops to attack Anding and Wudu, what should you do?"
Zhao Yun chuckled, "Within one or two years, the last general can only respond to the troops of Liangzhou, and after three years, the last general may be able to fight with the soldiers of Hanzhong. ” Xiliang Iron Cavalry is good at fighting, but Zhao Yun does not think that the cavalry that he has trained for three or four years by relying on the white horse Yicong training method cannot fight them, he has more sophisticated armor and weapons, as well as stirrups and horseshoes, and crossbows that are sharper on horseback.
"As for the Western Liang Army, after integrating the soldiers of this surrendered county, Wei Thorn History, how many soldiers are there in Liangzhou now?"
Wei Dan looked apprehensive and lined up towards Liu Qi, "Back to King Wu, there were 50,000 soldiers under the command of the governor of Pang Tong before, and now there are more than 60,000 soldiers in various counties, including many Tuntian soldiers and the old, weak, sick and disabled, but King Wu has previously ordered the Qiang tribes to recruit 50,000 Hu cavalry, and the number of troops that can be mobilized in Liangzhou will reach 110,000. ” "Among them, the only ones who can be drawn are the 50,000 Hu horses."
Liu Qi stroked his beard with one hand and looked at Zhang Ren, "If you give you another 50,000 Hu cavalry to escort the caravan, and if you are in danger, Zhang Ren, you can dare to try to recover the Western Regions and open up the Silk Road." ” "A certain will go."
Reopening the Silk Road, Zhang Ren knew that this was no less than Zhuge Liang's exploits in opening up the Southern Barbarians, so he naturally followed with joy.
"In addition, it is the Maritime Silk Road, the countries of the South China Sea, as well as the east of Liaodong in the East China Sea, there is still the country of Sanhan, and to the east of the sea, there is still the country of Yamatai, all of which can be traded and traded, as the maritime Silk Road of the East Army of our Jiang, Zhu Huan, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Er and other sailors must be well protected to escort coastal merchant ships, and they will train soldiers on weekdays, and then they will start with those pirates who hijack ships."
"Whoa."

"One item of armor, there is another thing, that is, the armor of our army, the original old armor, the Yizhou army has rattan armor, cloth armor, iron armor, wooden armor, Liangzhou army is more than armor, in the future, our army will be equipped with iron armor, as for cotton, from the Western Regions, it has now been planted in the land of Liangzhou and the suitable places in Jiangdong Prefecture, within five years, the main force of the standing battalions will be changed into cotton clothes to protect against the cold winter."
"Finance, after the issuance of treasury bonds, you can organize more caravans to and from the two rivers, pass on the sea, after the Silk Road is opened, send more caravans, nearly 20 million people in the east of the Yangtze River are still short of food and clothing, so why not sell these useless jade, salt, tea, and silk outside the country, in exchange for money to support the people of our Han Dynasty."
Originally, before these governors returned, there were still many elderly Confucian scholars in the small court of King Wu's mansion who opposed it, after all, the reuse of merchants would make the world's corporal clan and people dissatisfied.
There is also a violation of the laws formulated by the Han Dynasty, but after Mao Jue obeyed his orders, the law lost its effect, and after Liu Qi seized the title and seized more than ten officials, their fields and acres of houses were vacated, and no one objected to this Wu Wangfu.
"Cattle ploughing, well carts, the method of building wells, new farm tools, new rice seeds, but all agricultural things, need to be equipped with seven states under the east of the river within five years, in addition, tell you a good thing, in Yangzhou Wuyang, except for the mountains and forests, lakes and rivers that can not be cultivated, all cultivated land has been reclaimed, and now in Yangzhou, almost every household has been equipped with acres."
Hearing this, the civil and military ministers in the palace all turned to Liu Qi, "Congratulations to the lord." ” Liu Qi waved his hand, "In addition, the matter of the sailor's transformation of the warship should also be put on the itinerary, our army's sailor, the warship used in the rivers is difficult to find opponents, but the warship on the sea still needs to be improved, but this is the work of one or two decades, maybe the monarchs and ministers of the past dynasties are difficult to make up for the defects, but it is the prosperity of my Han Dynasty in the future, and I have to do it." ” "Smack", Liu Qi slapped one hand on the case, and looked out of the hall, "And lift the sand table up." ” "Whoa."
Not long after, dozens of sergeants carrying a huge sand table entered the ranks one after another, and then, hundreds of sergeants walked in one after another, they successively spliced several sand tables together, and in the hall, a giant sand table with a radius of several zhang suddenly appeared.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the dynasty around the territory of our Great Han Dynasty, there are Yi people, there are Hu Qi, there are island countries like the Evil Horse Tai Kingdom, and there are also powerful empires on the far Western Regions continent."
"Alone in this five years, as long as the sailor and the iron bicycle, the territory bordering the territory of the Han Dynasty on the map, you can do it."
A group of generals came out one after another, "We obey orders." ” "After Kuangfu Han and the unification of the world, the rivers and mountains will be rectified, these barbarians will be like the Huns of the past, and will be subjugated to the iron hooves of our Han Dynasty.
Liu Qi's voice echoed in the main hall, it was not his wish to recuperate in battle, and it was his way to win by recuperating and looking for fighters
