And that defeat seems to have been caused by the fact that the Western Jin Dynasty suddenly provoked a war and hit South Vietnam by surprise. ”

After listening to Mi Xue's narration, Murong Xiao also came to his senses: "Mi Xue, is there something wrong with this ledger?" ”

Qianye Ming raised his eyebrows: "Murong Qingyu is cunning, he is not so stupid to make a problem with the account book for people to check, and he also discarded it in the account room at will and didn't destroy it for more than ten years, right?" ”

Mi Xue shook her head: "Of course Murong Qingyu is not so stupid, the reason why he did not destroy this account book is precisely because he feels that this account book is completely fine, and the account of this military expenditure must have been checked at that time, and it was discarded at will after passing the customs." ”

"So what do you see wrong?" Murong asked with a smile.

"The Murong family army is not dead. It was all South Vietnamese soldiers who died. ”

Mi Xue's words made Qianye Ming and Murong Xiao's hearts jump slightly.

South Vietnam was bound to win this war, and for South Vietnam, which was not strong in military strength, these 500,000 troops were equivalent to the main force of South Vietnam. At that time, Emperor Dezheng trusted Murong Qingyu very much, and most of the troops were handed over to Murong Qingyu for safekeeping.

However, this war ended in a crushing defeat for Murong Qingyu, and at the same time, South Vietnam suffered an unprecedented heavy blow. After the heavy loss, it was difficult for South Vietnam to recover its military strength twenty years ago, and Emperor Dezheng deeply blamed himself for this battle, and since then he has been afraid of war.

And Mi Xue's assertion not only shows that this war nineteen years ago was very likely to be deliberately lost by Murong Qingyu, but also that Murong Qingyu hooked up with the Western Jin Dynasty as early as nineteen years ago.

And what they are most concerned about is that since the Murong family army did not die and did not return to South Vietnam in the first place, should the hundreds of thousands of people who disappeared out of thin air still be not far from the war nineteen years ago?

"Mi Xue, can you tell us what's wrong with this ledger?"

"Yes!" Mi Xue nodded and placed the thick ledger on the table. After that ledger, there was another, very thin ledger. Mi Xue explained:

"I've always found the general bookkeeping method very cumbersome, so I recorded another ledger in addition to this ledger."

Mi Xue pointed to the account book from nineteen years ago and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, you see, this account book is recorded in units of date. That is to say, for each unit of date, all the silver produced on that day is recorded.

The monthly silver of the soldier when he was alive, his daily expenses, and the compensation of the soldier's family after he died in battle are all recorded above, and the head is the Tao.

Because the ledger was so confusing, I recreated a new ledger, which was calculated based on the expenditure of personnel. In the end, I found that as the soldiers died in battle, the number of people became smaller and smaller, but no matter how the silver in it was converted, for example, the soldiers died in battle, and they needed funeral expenses, even the feeding of horses, grain and grass, and the silver taels of military quarters, in short, no matter how many people died in the middle and how the silver was disposed of, there were always about 400,000 people who had silver guaranteed.

And it is recorded that the family of the deceased soldier can receive 50 taels of funeral expenses, but the premise is that there must be a body. But one of the battles in the middle of the problem was a fire battle on the mountain, saying that the enemy army burned the mountain with fire, resulting in 300,000 soldiers being burned to death. The bill records that the funeral expenses of the 300,000 soldiers were distributed to the army by the imperial court.
