Chapter 1019: Going North to King Qin

The cabinet has a headache.

The previous inspection of the inner palace had caused a lot of commotion. Fortunately, it was done in the name of 'pursuing the disrespectful queen in the palace', which was reasonable.

If we want to continue to thoroughly investigate the reason why the third prince dyed Hanshi Powder, we will definitely have to do it again.

By then, the third prince's scandalous behavior will no longer be covered up.

Even in ordinary times, this kind of thing must be covered up for the sake of the Tian family's decency and dignity, and no one dares to make trouble outside.

Not to mention, these are troubled times.

A group of generals headed by Xu Guogong clearly understood this and simply tried to cover their ears.

What can you do to me?

After a fierce quarrel, the two sides argued.

In the end, Yu Zongshen discussed with the cabinet and made a decision. The third prince was imprisoned in the palace in the name of "serious illness" and was guarded by the imperial guards. No one was allowed to enter or leave.

In the name of disrespecting the queen and going beyond the rules of etiquette, Concubine Xu was punished by being shut up and thinking about her mistakes.

Without substantive charges, Concubine Xu and the Third Prince would not fall, let alone lose.

It seems to be handled with care.

However, this is already the cabinet, and it is the best solution it can come up with to cut through the mess quickly.

The Duke of Xu's government has a large number of troops and is deeply entangled in the army. Now that the Liang King is rebelling, it is the time to use troops. If the handling is serious, it will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of some military generals in the court, further aggravating the conflicts and disputes between civil servants and military generals, and at the same time also It will affect the morale and morale of the Liang army.

A group of veterans led by Xu Guogong achieved great success.

There were only a few cabinet ministers left in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Mr. Qi has a bad temper, and he was furious at the moment: "He relied on the Liang thieves to cause chaos and raise troops to steal the country, and he was so unscrupulous, as if the kingdom of Zhou Dynasty, without him, would..."

The following words are indeed a bit treacherous and cannot be true to the facts.

The cabinet was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

After a while, an elder of the cabinet opened his mouth: "Why don't we send an order in the name of the cabinet minister and ask King Wu Mu to send troops to guard Jingzhao. In this way, our great Zhou Dynasty will be impregnable..."

This sentence expresses the sentiments of many people in the cabinet.

At the moment, people agree with you:

"King Wu Mu is also guarding the territory of the Yin family. This is a very good move..."

"Right now, there are no troops in the capital. The nostrils of these generals who are in charge of the troops are pointing to the sky. If they are not suppressed, there will be troops on the front line and a fire in the backyard..."

"Since King Wumu guarded the northern border, the imperial court issued conscription documents for two consecutive years, and the size of the You army has reached 500,000. It will not hinder anything if 200,000 are sent to the capital to guard it."

At that moment, someone spoke out in opposition:

"No, the Youjun is the barrier to resist Beidi and defend our Han rule. How can we ignore the border defense? Are you an old fool? Have you not learned enough from the lessons of Wu Huan Hua?!"

"Some time ago, King Wu Mu submitted a note to the court, saying that Beidi has been acting strangely recently, and there is fear that there may be some unusual movements. Affected by the drought, Beidi has frequently disturbed the border in the past two years and must be guarded against."

"Beidi is a big tribe. It claims to have 300,000 soldiers. In addition, all the people in Beidi are soldiers. With all the people in Beidi, there are more than a million soldiers. The 500,000 You army is just a good name. You have all forgotten, Wu Mu After King Dingbei guarded Youzhou, the emperor sent the Supervisor of the Army, the Ministry of War, and the Governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to coordinate with King Wu Mu to report on their duties in the north. What was the situation like with the 300,000 You soldiers at that time?"

Everyone present looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.

Marquis Zhenguo continued: "The so-called three hundred thousand Youjun are just shouting out to coax outsiders.

It was just a name that shocked Beidi. The Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Procuratorate compiled the books of various military schools over the years. Only then did they realize that the You army was in a difficult situation. Less than 200,000 people could actually be put into the battlefield. These 200,000 people , all they wore were patchwork armors, which could not protect themselves, and their weapons were all chipped. There were less than a thousand charging horses, and some of them were old horses..."

When the news reached the capital, he couldn't believe how King Zhou Li had managed to survive all these years, and a deep feeling of admiration arose in his heart.

"The new recruits have been in the camp for less than three years and lack combat experience. They are far inferior to the veterans. When new recruits enter the camp, they need veterans to guide them. Some veterans can no longer go to the battlefield. They retain their military membership and stay in the army just to train new recruits. , the replacement of new soldiers with old ones will take at least three to five years to complete, and the number of soldiers who can actually go to the battlefield will definitely be less than 300,000."

These civil servants did not understand the use of troops. They talked about it and thought that sending 200,000 troops to Beijing to guard it was just a matter of paper orders.

How is it possible to know the inside story of this?

The atmosphere became a little tense.

Mr. Qi sighed with emotion: "It's not easy for King Wu Mu. Marquis Changxing brought a lot of trouble to Youjun. What King Wumu took was not a good job, but a mess. He just relied on his own efforts to absorb the old troops, rectify Youjun, and rebuild the Youjun." It has boosted the reputation of Youjun. In the past two years, Beidi has been affected by drought and has frequently harassed border towns without making any mistakes."

Of course, if it hadn't been a mess, the emperor wouldn't have handed it over to Yin Huaixi so happily.

Everyone agreed.

At this time, Mr. Yu Ge spoke: "Don't place your hopes on King Wu Mu. Even if the Zhou Dynasty is torn into pieces, King Wu Mu must guard our Chinese territory and never let the northern barbarians step on our Han soil." .”

After saying this, everyone in the cabinet looked surprised.

Yu Zongshen turned the hand of Walnut and finally stopped: "When Xiang Liu's army invaded Xianyang, where was the Qin army, which was known as a million-strong army and was frightening?"

No one in Wenyuan Pavilion spoke.

Yu Zongshen said quietly: "After the First Emperor destroyed the six kingdoms, Wang Jian and his deputy Zhao Tuo led an army of 500,000 to pacify the Baiyue land in the Lingnan region. At that time, the entire South China was under the rule of Baiyue. During the Han Dynasty, the first emperor was worried that Baiyue would take the opportunity to cause chaos and restore the country, so he sent Zhao Tuo to guard Baiyue and marry local Baiyue people to civilize the Baiyue barbarians, Chineseize Baiyue, and include the entire South Vietnam into our Chinese territory. Later Zhao Tuo established South Vietnam, and today's Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other places were conquered at that time."

A South Vietnamese took away the Qin Dynasty's 500,000 troops.

And, gone forever.

It was not to maintain the rule of the Qin Dynasty, but to unify the Chinese territory and lay the foundation for the Chinese territory.

What kind of sweeping pattern is this? !

"During the last years of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang and Liu launched an anti-Qin uprising to overthrow the 'tyranny of the Qin Dynasty'. When the Qin Dynasty was about to survive, Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, repeatedly requested Zhao Tuo to send troops to the north. Zhao Tuo had an army of 500,000. But he never sent troops to go north. Is it really because Zhao Tuo is not loyal enough?"

The cabinet remained silent.

Mr. Yu Ge sighed softly: "When the First Emperor was seriously ill, he summoned Zhao Tuo, who was guarding Baiyue, and gave Zhao Tuo the last imperial edict in his life. The First Emperor said to Zhao Tuo: South Vietnam is the southern gate of China. , Baiyue has not been under Han rule for thousands of years, and I fear there will be endless troubles in the future. You need to guard South Vietnam."
