Chapter 235 235
Because of the disagreement between Wei and Zhao, this gave Qi a great buffer, and it can be regarded as helping Qi in disguise.
If Wei does not suppress Zhao, the Zhao army is on the border of Qi and harasses Qi, which can be said to be a lot of pressure.
Although Qi and Zhao signed an armistice agreement, Zhao did not launch a full-scale attack on Qi and disguised the army as horse thieves, Qi really had no choice.
Condemn Zhao Guo morally, and call on all countries to suppress Zhao Guo and say that he is not trustworthy, and Zhao Guo will definitely say that this is not my Zhao Guo, but a horse thief......
For Zhao Guo, Hu Fu took off Zhao Guo's military uniform and threw away the Zhao flag, which was a gang of horse thieves.
However, because the army of Wei is on the border of Zhao State, although the two sides are blood alliances, but the large-scale standing army is on your border, Zhao Yong is also worried in his heart, and he has to mobilize troops to the border of Zhao and Wei.
When the army arrived at the border of Zhao and Wei, Qi felt a lot better, although Qi recovered some funds, but Qi also had to rebuild the samurai army and maintain the standing army.
If the border is often infested with the army of Zhao, Qi has to transfer large-scale funds to build a northern defense system, and often give funds to Qi in the north to suppress bandits.
Qi Jie's position staring at Le Yi is already a lot of money, if Zhao Jun is often in the north, Qi Jie still has to recruit troops and buy horses, which is another amount of money.
After all, the Qingzhou Army and the Southern Hebei Army have been crippled and are still in a state of reconstruction.
Bao Shuya suggested that Qi Xiaobai restore the reserve system, but Qi Xiaobai rejected Bao Shuya's suggestion for the sake of Qi's military strength, and still had to maintain a large-scale standing army.
Although it was necessary to maintain a large-scale standing army, the funds were basically given to the Yanzhou Army and the north.
The military salary in the south has been reduced, after all, the Xuzhou Legion is basically to maintain law and order in Xuzhou, and the south is allied with the Chu State, which is peaceful, and the Xuzhou Legion can't use too much money.
However, when quelling the rebellion, the Xuzhou Army received a sum of money to assist, after all, the counterinsurgency had to give the army incentives.
Originally, the military salary and materials of the Xuzhou Legion were the least, and if you don't give money to quell the rebellion, who will serve you, don't be rebelled......
So Qi Xiaobai had to take out the money from the treasury and inject it into the Xuzhou Army.
However, the Xuzhou Legion performed very well, and soon put down the rebellion, pacified the rebellious Xuzhou, and reduced the military spending.
Because the Xuzhou Legion does not have many local affairs and there is no war, in addition to funds, the central government has allocated very little, and the training of the Xuzhou Legion is the worst among the three major legions, and sometimes it is not trained.
At that time, a minister played to Qi Xiaobai, saying that the Xuzhou Legion was lazy, and its commander-in-chief 'Jiang Ai' did not act, and Qi Xiaobai needed to rectify the Xuzhou Legion.
At that time, Qi Xiaobai wanted to rectify it, but let Jiang Ai train, Jiang Ai just asked for money, and Qi Xiaobai had to open one eye and close one eye.
Compared with the Xuzhou Legion, Qi Xiaobai values the Samurai Legion more, and the Samurai Legion is his direct legion, and its combat effectiveness is much stronger than the three major legions.
After annexing the Yan State, the Southern Hebei Army belonged to Qi Xiaobai, but now it has been integrated into the Qingzhou Army, and Qi Xiaobai is not letting it be divided into two.
The Samurai Legion is also Qi Xiaobai's Guards Legion, and it is Qi Xiaobai's trump card to rule the Qi Kingdom, and Qi Xiaobai must inject funds into the Samurai Legion.
Second, Qi Xiaobai also has to maintain the Yanzhou Legion, although the Yanzhou Legion rarely participates in the war, but the training has never stopped, the Yanzhou Legion is also Qi Xiaobai's direct legion, although it is not as strong as the Samurai Legion, but it is under the jurisdiction of Qi Xiaobai, so Qi Xiaobai has also been allocating funds to the Yanzhou Legion for construction.
It is also because Qi Xiaobai holds the military seal of the Yanzhou Legion in his hand that Qi Xiaobai's position as the monarch sits so steadily.
After all, a monarch without an army cannot sit in a secure position.
The samurai legion needs to be rebuilt, but the Qingzhou legion must also be rebuilt, the Central Plains War basically crippled the Qingzhou legion, and the Qingzhou legion still has to defend the north for Qi Xiaobai, the east is on guard against the Zhao State, and the west is on guard against the great warlord Le Yi.
It can be said that the most bitter and tired legion in Qi is the Qingzhou Legion, but in order to save costs, although Qi Xiaobai is giving funds to the Qingzhou Legion, he also asked Qi Jiu to recruit troops on his own, and he found a way to make money for the Qingzhou Legion, giving Qi Jiu a lot of autonomy.
Originally, Qi Xiaobai didn't want to give him a lot of autonomy, after all, Qi Jie was the biggest threat to his throne, but Guan Zhong's suggestion made Qi Xiaobai have to give Qi Jie autonomy.
Because the power of the Gong clan in the Qi State is too small, if the power of the Gong clan is not supported, the scholar clan and the merchant group may slowly grow bigger in the future, and it is very likely to become the situation of the Song State and the monarch being hollowed out.
In order to prevent that situation, Qi Xiaobai had to support the forces of the Gong clan, but for now, the people of the Gong clan are Qi Yan and Qi Jiao.
After Qi Yan returned to Yingqiu, she read books, weaved, and watched children at home every day, completely ignoring political affairs, and Qi Xiaobai couldn't support him even if he wanted to.
So he can only support his brother Qi Jiu, but fortunately, Qi Jiu is also very attentive, and has been reporting Le Yi's situation to Qi Xiaobai.
At the same time, Qi Jie was also plotting how to defeat Le Yi, capture the Northern Hebei Army, and completely let Qi complete the annexation of Yan.
At the funeral, because Han Liegong pulled King Wu of Wei and Qi Xiaobai pulled King Huai of Chu, both sides knew that it was against Sven to fight on this occasion, so there was no conflict.
If King Chu Huai wants to fight, how can King Chu Huai be able to stop Qi Xiaobai?
Of course, King Wei Wu was just a mouthful, and he didn't dare to fight with King Chu Huai alone, when Han Liegong pulled him, his body moved forward, but his pace did not take a step.
However, because of the quarrel between the two kings, the funeral people all watched, and Xiao Su and the ministers of the empire could only sigh when they saw this scene, and they didn't dare to happen, so they stopped.
After all, these two people, they can't afford to provoke, one is the overlord of the south, Chu State, who has a history of killing the emperor, and the other is the Wei State, which has just been promoted to the overlord of the Central Plains.
The two of them are kings with different surnames in the empire, and those who can become kings with different surnames are the most powerful people in the empire.
And although Emperor Zhou wanted to persuade him after seeing this scene, he was stopped by his mother.
"Mother, this is a funeral, and the two of them are so noisy!" Although Emperor Zhou Shengdi was a little girl, after all, this was her father's funeral, and the quarrel between King Chu Huai and King Wei Wu at the solemn funeral was indeed infuriating.
"I know, let them quarrel!" Xiao Chu didn't want his daughter to collide with these two people.
Ji Mingyue is her daughter and her dearest person in the world, she doesn't want her daughter to have any three strengths and two shortcomings.
