Chapter 247: The Imperial Hall 2

readx;??? As the saying goes, blocking people's wealth is like killing parents, although a series of combination punches played by these high-ranking officials in the court successfully grabbed the port of Champong, but they did not catch it cheaply, and caused a commotion, and now they are warned by the Maidno people to block all the ports of Annam, and there are really few in the court who do not hate those Chinese. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info。 58。

Although the right minister threw out the theory of money and food at this time, which made the household department stammered for a while, he also knew that if he didn't want to come up with any way to stop the mouths of these people, it would definitely not last. Once the Ministry of War communicates with the Ministry of Households, and the excerpt is presented, he can call back once or twice, but the third time must be presented to the emperor. Besides, the right minister didn't know that the eunuchs around the emperor had long been bought by the left minister's people and the six departments, and they often discussed things with the emperor by themselves, and they already knew about the left minister before they left the palace. Once the people of the Sixth Department are determined to succeed, there will inevitably be a way to pass this resolution to fight the rebellion, and when the time comes, Annan will ...... No, it was the forces of South Annan that had to be drawn from all over the place to attack the new army.

Right Xiang spoke with some indignation at this time, "To say that you don't annoy those Chinese, that's nonsense!" But the new army of Champong Port was originally trained by the Chinese in Dongfang Port, and they were also armed, and now the princess's silver was sent to Dongfang Port, and the princess gave the Chinese carte blanche to take care of this army. In this way, this army had money and equipment, and at this time there were a large number of people - at least tens of thousands of rescued Annan people followed the Chinese north across the boundary river during the Pingnan barbarian, and I heard that a town had been formed next to the boundary river at this time, with a population of 30,000 or 40,000 people. The only way to develop if you have money, people and elite weapons is to expand the army. Once the new army expands, it will be impossible for these old, backward, and old-style armies in Annam to win the war. ”

As soon as the right minister's words fell, it immediately caused an uproar in the court, and the word princess was an absolutely sensitive word in the court. In the eyes of the court princes, the reason why so many things have happened in Annan now, whether it is the Medeno fleet cruising near Wenshan Port, or the Nanban returning with a full load of food, or the trick of Champa Port being slapped hard, it is all the princess's fault, if the princess is not doing anything, what can be done, this is what these people think. Everyone thinks that it would be good if Ruan Fuyuan's son is a son, now Ruan Fuyuan has no son, and the princess will marry an outsider sooner or later, even if the horse master is rich, but he is also a foreigner, and he can't be regarded as Ruan Fuyuan's heir to inherit Annan, and at that time, in order to compete for the throne of Annan, there will be another bloody storm.

However, the right minister did not care about the antagonistic mood of the following officials, and continued: "Not to mention that the north and south of Annam are still in the middle of the war, and a few years ago there was a great war for several months, and more than 30,000 people were killed and wounded on both sides, and now that both sides are evenly matched, where do you plan to draw troops to fight the rebellion?" You must know that once the balance is broken, the war will inevitably break out again, will I still have the ability to fight with the North and the Chinese at the same time? ”

The ceremonial chamberlain immediately said loudly, "The rebels in Champanggang are only a few hundred people, even if the Chinese support them, now there are only about a thousand people, and I will be able to destroy them as long as I gather 20,000 soldiers and horses, and rescue the rich merchants they plundered." ”

His speech was affirmed by most court officials, and even the supporters of the right minister were not able to oppose it at this time. The squire of the military department hurriedly took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the right minister, use the method of war, ten will surround it, five will attack it, and if you double it, you will be able to fight, and the enemy will be able to divide it, if you are less, you can escape it, and if you don't, you can avoid it. Therefore, the small enemy is strong, and the big enemy is also captured. Like Xiang Yu, the one who can win with weak soldiers is one in ten thousand, and all the wars in the world are all won by more and less, and the strong defeat the weak. At this time, the rebels were weak, but they were holding the rich merchants who occupied the city and the port, asking for money, money, food, and food. If you don't extinguish it at this time, if you wait until the rebels grow stronger in the future, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to pacify them! ”

Suddenly, the following officials who supported the suppression echoed one after another, "The minister seconded the proposal!" "What Lord Squire of the War Department said is true!"

Ruan Phuc Nguyen didn't have the heart to listen to these people's arguments at this time, he still deeply remembered the battle of more than a dozen new troops when his daughter was attacked that day, and the group of assassins on the wall were all masters, and they had been in battle for a long time. It stands to reason that the group of new troops who were still mud-legged two or three months ago could not cope with the attack of such a master, but the development of the situation is not according to common sense, and the soldiers of the new army here were injured and fell to the ground, which did not cause panic at all, but the masters over there were beaten all over the wall, and some of them ran away and hit their heads on the wall.

Princess Ji told him that this was just an ordinary infantry squad in her new army, so it meant that any soldier in the new army could fight like this. But they're farmers! A group of poor mud legs who only knew that they were facing the loess and facing the sky a few months ago! This group of Chinese must not be simple, and must have a secret method for training the army. But he had another idea in his heart, is the new army really so capable of fighting? Or are these more than a dozen new troops brought by her daughter to Hue an elite pro-soldier? What's more, with such a powerful weapon, he didn't quite believe that the price would be so cheap, and if hundreds of people were equipped with such weapons, how much silver would it cost? Thinking of this, he gradually began to hear the quarrels of the ministers below.

"Although 20,000 people sounds like a lot, it is not difficult to transfer them from all over my Annan country, even if the Northern Rebellion knows that we are drawing troops to fight the rebellion, they will definitely not dare to act rashly." The military department Shangshu said with a smile, "After all, there is still a river as the boundary between our country and the North Rebellion at this time, and the river is a natural danger, and tens of thousands of troops want to cross the river, if there is no ten days and a half months, it is impossible." I, Annan, have 30,000 troops stationed by the river, and the defensive situation is definitely better than the offensive, and the northern opposition will not dare to use troops against our Annan. In addition, the Wu Dynasty also mediated the war between our country and the North last year, and the Wu Dynasty also stationed tens of thousands of troops on the border of the North Rebellion, if the North Reverse attacked our Annam, it would certainly be a great disrespect to the Wu Dynasty, and the Wu Dynasty would definitely send troops to intimidate. Therefore, the minister felt that it was feasible to use troops against the rebel army in Zhancheng Port. ”

"Since Lord Shangshu thinks it is feasible, then the present face has to ask, where does the money and food come from? Lord Tobe Shoshu! "The right minister is a little annoyed, I just said that you can't fight without money, why did you kick your nose and face again?" How much silver do I have in the treasury at this time? ”

A weird smile suddenly appeared on the face of Tobe Shangshu, which made the right minister's heart tense, there is a conspiracy? Hubu Shangshu nodded, and took a document from the squire's hand, "I still have 160,000 taels of silver in the treasury of Annan at this time, if it is used to quell the rebellion, it is still difficult to use the word "two words." He opened the document as he spoke, "Annanguo was invaded by the southern barbarians and the north this time, and the villages and urban facilities were seriously damaged on the way to the north, and many people were plundered. It's early spring, and if you don't have seeds, you will naturally cause famine, not to mention that even after sowing, famine can still break out before the rice is ripe. In addition, there are corpses all over the way, if they are not treated, the plague will spread, and then the autumn grain harvest in Annan will not be a small matter, and if a famine breaks out, it will cost more silver to help. As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Nguyen Phuc Nguyen and said, "The minister requests that these silver taels be allocated to the disaster-stricken towns along the way to support local recovery, so as to prevent my Annan from falling into the dilemma of having no money and no food." ”

The right minister is now more and more uncertain in his heart, and the meaning he just asked the head of the household is that he wants him to tell me how much money is in the treasury, so that he can break the idea of sending troops to fight the chaos at every turn. But to his surprise, not only was it not perfunctory, but it exposed its shortcomings, directly explaining that there was no money in the treasury, and all the money available had to be used for relief. Abnormality is a demon, and now he can't guess what kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd of these people.

"So there's no money?" Ruan Fuyuan heard this, and hurriedly asked loudly, "I, Annanguo, also received 200,000 taels last year, how did it become that I had no money?" Didn't you still have a balance of 300,000 taels last year? What about Annan's money? Where did it go? ”

How did he not know where he had gotten it? There are quite a few of the following officials who fight the world with him, and they have already quietly posted a note to him, revealing how ugly these officials are. At present, although the head of the household department said righteously that he would give the only 160,000 taels of silver to local officials for relief, in fact, in the end, it was a great luck to be able to use one-tenth of the twelve taels on the people. The people didn't get much benefit, and the benefits were all intercepted by these officials.

"Your Majesty," Shangshu of the Criminal Department stepped forward and said, "In the rebellion of Zhancheng Port, Lord Nguyen Minh Fang Ruan led the forbidden army to fight bravely with fewer enemies and more enemies, and defeated the rebel army......"

"The defeated rebel army was also taken away by the rebel army with all the rich businessmen, is there such a big victory?" Ruan Fuyuan was full of thoughts about Lao Tzu's small money at this time, and he was interrupted by Shengsheng in the middle of his sentence, and he hurriedly stopped talking and said nothing.

Ruan Fuyuan let out a sigh of relief, looked at the criminal department Shangshu who continued to salute, and knew that he still had something to say, so he pointed at him impatiently, "Go on." ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department hurriedly continued, "Lord Nguyen captured more than 100 prisoners of the rebels during the rebellion, and they were all still locked up in the port of Champa at this time. ”

"Execution? And how are they going to execute these captives? "Ruan Fuyuan was stunned for a moment, I didn't hear that there were still prisoners captured in Zhancheng Port, didn't you say that the new army's weapons and tactics were elite, and they had all withdrawn to the north of the Jiehe?" When were the captives captured? ”

"Lord Ruan is the first soldier, and he is a thousand ...... with one horse," the military department Shangshu hurriedly said, "If it weren't for the fact that the chaotic army was really numerous, otherwise all those chaotic ministers and thieves would have been corrected on the spot." ”

Ruan Fuyuan looked at him with slanted eyes, and secretly said in his heart, isn't Ruan Mingfang your son-in-law? It's really hard to be a father-in-law. But he couldn't say it to his face, he just sighed unhappily.

"Your Majesty, since Lord Ruan is serving the country so much, and the soldiers are brave and brave, the minister thinks that Lord Ruan should be given some rewards." Hubu Shangshu hurriedly added, and the officials who were talking to each other on the side hurriedly nodded yes. For a while, the voices of seconding the proposal were endless.

Ruan Fuyuan has never felt that this group of high-ranking officials in front of him has been so annoying, it is your business to make money, take it from the treasury, Lao Tzu will endure it with one eye and one eye closed. But at this time there is no money in the treasury, and now you are running out and saying that you want to reward a defeated general, who will pay for it? Didn't you want Lao Tzu to take money out of the inner treasury to make up for this hole? He simply put his hand in his pocket, and immediately stood up and shouted, "No! The general of the defeated army, An dares to speak bravely, do you think that I, Ruan Fuyuan, am blind? Or do you think I'm a fifteen-year-old man? Rigid and self-sufficient, close your eyes and listen? The matter of Zhancheng Port has already been decided, and I didn't want to say that I just wanted to save your face, but everyone in the hall was aggressive, pointing to the deer as a horse, is it really that I Ruan Fuyuan is a fool? ”

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, until he reached the steps down, and then stopped, and said loudly, "The matter of Zhancheng Port is not a disorder, the soldiers of the new army are only loyal to the princess and the king, and what they do is according to the will of the princess and the widow, and what they do is also loyal to the monarch and patriotism, I don't know how these captives were captured, but they are all released to me!" Such loyal and patriotic people are imprisoned, if future generations know about it, don't they scold me Ruan Fuyuan for being ignorant and reversing black and white? Don't say that the Forces nouvelles are rebels! Besides, the new army is a rebel, and it is a rebellious minister and a thief. By my will, the port of Champa will immediately release all the captives of the Forces nouvelles and release them back. ”

The court suddenly fell silent, and all the officials quickly knelt on the ground and did not dare to make a sound. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Nguyen Phuc Yuan has been quite polite to the bureaucrats who have learned a lot of people, and even if something disobeys him, he will not be annoyed, but just quietly listen to the reactions of the people below. They didn't know that the emperor knew that he sometimes looked ugly, but he generally relied on the emperor's idea that he didn't dare to deal with the officials, and then he slowly came to the step of slandering the princess and seizing control of the port of Zhancheng.

Ruan Fuyuan paced back and forth on the steps for a few steps, his eyes kept staring at the group of kneeling officials below, and he didn't know what to do, but after thinking about it, his tone of voice softened a little. "Since Nguyen Minh Fang has suffered huge losses, and Zhancheng Port needs to dredge the waterway to rebuild the city, then allocate 100,000 taels from the inner reservoir. Let him build Champa Port with peace of mind, if he can restore Champa Port to its previous prosperity, it will be regarded as his great achievement, and I will naturally have a reward at that time. The matter of Champa Port is now conclusive! If there is anything that is lifted in front of me, the staff will wait! Retreat! ”

The officials didn't dare to raise their heads, and they continued to kneel and lie on the ground one by one, but a few gray-faced Shangshu exchanged glances with each other below at this moment, and Ruan Fuyuan didn't notice this look at all.
