Where are the interests of the generals in controlling the border armies?

It is nothing more than military salaries, grain, grass, salt, armaments and other materials.

All of this puts you in control.

Then let's go to the Li family to play in the mud.

At this time, Li Rumei had a feeling of being wronged.

"Guo... Consultant Guo, you... Is everything you say true? ”

Qin Deyi's tone suddenly changed.

Elder brother!

You're my brother!

Guo smiled lightly: "General, don't worry, this is not finished yet, in fact, it is not only the Liaodong region, because the Liaodong region is too small, and once our Yinuo grain store is established, we will have Banzhou, Ningxia, Luzon, Penghu, and at the same time, we can buy grain and grass from all coastal areas such as Jiaozhi, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Japan, North Korea, etc."

In the near future, the grain and grass in each border town will be supplied by our Yinuo Grain Bank, and the reason why His Majesty agreed to the next suggestion is all because of the Battle of Ningxia. I believe you all know that the reason why the Battle of Ningxia broke out was because the civilian officials controlled all armaments, and the governor Dang Xin reduced the armaments of the Ningxia soldiers for his own selfish interests, thus giving him an opportunity to take advantage of it.

And on this point, I believe that the Liaodong Army is even more deeply aware that it was because of the opposition of those civilian officials that the Liaodong Army could no longer continue to purchase the world's best armaments from Weihui Mansion. Your Majesty believes that the border towns are related to the security of the country, and must not allow those civilian officials to act arbitrarily and chill the hearts of the officers and men of the three armies. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Qin Deyi immediately shouted.

In view of the unforgettable hatred of civilian officials, they certainly raised their hands in support.

In this way, they no longer have to look at the faces of civil officials.

Cool!

But Li Rumei couldn't feel better, and suddenly asked: "Advisor Guo, if the grain and grass of the Liaodong Army are supplied by Luzon, then what should we do if the Liaodong region has to be tuntian?" ”

When Qin Deyi heard this, he immediately looked at Guo Dan again.

In fact, there was not much left of Tuntian, which had already been occupied by them, the border army generals, and the local gentry, and then they were sold to the imperial court in exchange for control of the army and other local necessities.

The water is very deep.

But if Guo Dan gets a million stone of grain a year, then who will they sell their grain to?

Is it sold to a good man in Jianzhou?

Guo smiled lightly: "General, please rest assured, when the time comes, we will also buy grain from the Liaodong region, of course, the local big landowners can also take the land to invest in the Yinuo grain store, and everyone will make more money together." ”

It's a delicate relationship.

Taking a step back, if Yinuo Grain Store does not buy local grain, they will have to find their own way.

Now the problem is that I don't know how much food Guo Dan sends over a year.

What if it's really what he says? The price of grain is Guo Dan's final say, which also includes the price of salt, oil, and tea.

In this way, the best way is to take the land and invest in Yinuo Grain Bank.

Otherwise? Too insecure.

According to Guo Dan's words? In the future, the imperial court will only purchase military rations from Yinuo Grain Bank? Local grain also had to go through the Yinuo grain store, and could not be sold directly to the army.

It's not up to them to say this.

Guo Dan looked left and right and poured himself a glass of wine? Take a sip? said: "Generals, in fact, about this matter, it is indeed me who has caused you to be affected?" Nor will I shirk my responsibilities? We will certainly show sufficient sincerity to compensate you for your losses. ”

Speaking of which? What did he say? He added, "But what if there is no such thing as a private soldier? Nor could the civilian officials find an excuse to impeach the generals. ”

Li Rumei's heart froze? looked sideways at Guo Dan, knowing that this was the Hongmen banquet prepared for them.

Guo smiled lightly: "When today's Ziwen Taowu is strategic, wise and martial, this is actually very clear in his heart?" Knowing this, you can't blame the generals? So for a long time before? Your Majesty didn't bother with those civil officials? I firmly supported the generals, but I really had no choice but to remove you from your official positions.

But then again? If the treasury is full and the military salaries can be paid on time, the generals will not pay their own money to defend the country. However, your innocence was exchanged for a ruthless impeachment, and Your Majesty also felt very guilty.

This is actually one of the reasons for the establishment of a grain bank, Your Majesty wants to revitalize my Ming martial arts, to give enough support to the army, and can no longer let the soldiers of my three armies let any soldier suffer the slightest grievance. ”

Li Rumei shuddered when she heard this, and hurriedly got up and hugged her fists and said, "Your Majesty is considerate of the ministers and others, and the ministers have a negative grace." ”

Qin Deyi also hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Humble duty is a negative grace. ”

No matter how stupid they are, they can hear it.

Guo Dan's words can be divided into two ends, I have caused you to be burdened, and I am willing to compensate you, but if you yourself have a clear conscience, you will not be impeached.

The emperor supports you, but you must also remember that the emperor's intention to depose you is that you will never be allowed to keep your own soldiers.

And Guo Dan's words are also very clear, it was the fault of the imperial court in the past, so the emperor is not to blame in the past, and now that there is a promise of grain, you can't do it anymore.

Let not any soldier be wronged in the slightest, this refers to whom, not the enemy, but them.

Those soldiers were used as domestic slaves by their generals, local gentry and court magnates.

"Oops! What are the generals doing, all of this is at fault, please accept Guo Dan's salute. ”

Guo Dan also quickly got up and bowed in return.

After sitting down again, Li Rumei's backs were already soaked, as if they had just returned from the ghost gate.

Guo Dan suddenly asked, "That's right! General Lee, I heard that there is a war going on outside. ”

Li Rumei was stunned and said, "Yes... Yes, it is the contradictions within their Jurchen tribe. But he was muttering in his heart, Guo Dan was not hinting that they were ready to provoke a war.

Guo Dan sighed, and said: "Then do we want to join the war?" ”

Li Rumei hurriedly said: "This... This has nothing to do with my Ming Dynasty, but we have been paying attention to it, and if there is any trouble, our army will never let them succeed. ”

"That's it!"

Guo said lightly: "General, do you have a way for us to get in and fight a dozen?" ”

Qin had to look at Guo Dan like a monster, big brother, this is a war, you can say this more easily than doing business.

Li Rumei was already frightened and asked, "Does the imperial court want to use troops against the Jurchens?" ”

"Not really."

Guo smiled lightly and said: "That's the case, you should know that your brother recently held my new firearm in the Grand Canyon, which was rampant and invincible in the south, but unfortunately the enemy over there was too weak and vulnerable, and the narrow terrain was difficult to exert the power of firearms."

This is a huge pity, so I want to try it here in Liaodong, and now that the general has a way to let us go in, then I can immediately transfer 10,000 artillery pieces and 100,000 of the latest bird guns from the Grand Canyon. ”

"One... 10,000 guns? ”

Qin Deyi's voice trembled.

Guo smiled lightly: "In the future, our Grand Canyon will supply all the border troops, and these 10,000 artillery pieces are really nothing, if necessary, the imperial court can even send 300 warships equipped with artillery to join in, and we will fight on both land and sea lines to fight a hearty battle." ”

Three hundred battleships? Little Jurchen, as for you being so vicious?

Li Rumei was dumbfounded when she heard this.

"Consultant Guo, what do you mean by that?"

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to try to see if this 10,000-strong cannon can flatten a city. You don't know, when they were in Banshu, their fortress was really brittle, and a hundred artillery pieces could destroy it, and it is said that at most 300 artillery pieces fired at once, which is difficult to see the true power of artillery. ”

What don't you know, they are very clear about the Battle of Banzhou, Li Rusong fought the battle, Li Rumei can't not know.

At that time, the battle report really frightened them.

The mighty Banshu, under the firearms of the Grand Canyon, was wiped out in an instant.

Let them fight, and with that little force, they can't fight for several years.

I heard Guo Dan muttering in a low voice: "If there is no war, there is no reason for the imperial court to purchase too many artillery!" ”

Oh... So that's what happened? You're a businessman.

Li Rumei immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and she really pinched a cold sweat for the Jianzhou man, when she met such a profiteer, she wanted to flatten Jianzhou in order to sell some artillery.

It's really unconscionable.

It's too much!

That's a bit excessive!

Li Rumei trembled and said: "Advisor Guo, you may have misunderstood, the Jianzhou Jurchens have always surrendered to my Daming, if there is a war, Your Majesty can also send them to fight, we really have no reason to fight them." ”

In fact, Jianzhou also belongs to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and Nurhachi is also an official of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's... Is that so? ”

Guo Dan pretended not to know.

Li Rumei nodded again and again and said, "Yes." ”

"What about Mongolia?"

Guo Dan asked again: "Isn't Mongolia very jumpy?" ”

Li Rumei sneered: "After all these years of foreign conquest by our army, the surrounding Mongolian forces are no longer in the climate, and even if they want to fight, they don't need 10,000 artillery pieces to fight." Plus, this... Is this what Your Majesty meant? ”

Guo Dan said in a low voice: "General, Ning Yuanbo is the major shareholder of the Grand Canyon, and if there is a war, the Li family will also make money." ”

It's a neurosis!

Li Rumei was about to cry, their Li family played this hand, and they were already playing perfectly, but Guo Dan's words really refreshed his lower limit, it was extremely vicious, they came according to the situation in the end, and Guo Dan clearly wanted to fight, completely unreasonable, of course, there are 10,000 artillery, it seems that there is no need to be reasonable, and said: "This... I know that, but... But for the time being, there really is no battle to fight. ”

In fact, if you want to fight, you can fight, but the problem is that you are too terrifying, you can't mobilize thousands of artillery pieces to fight at every turn, what kind of war is this, you are going to destroy everything, but the surrounding forces are inextricably linked with the Li family.

"That's... That's fine. ”

Guo Dan is melancholy!

In fact, he was telling Li Rumei that the emperor could immediately mobilize 10,000 artillery pieces to fight the Mongols and Jurchens, and he could also immediately mobilize 10,000 artillery pieces to fight you.

Generals, times have changed.

10,000 artillery pieces, enough to replace you.

Don't take yourself too seriously.

Now that the benefits have been given to you, it is time to let go of what should be put down.

The stick and red dates will never go out of style!
