Power and Empire Chapter 3186: Winter Rain (2)

The rain is pounding on the roof, and the cold is pressing in the dark,

Although Yu Fenglong, the prime minister of Central and Biacia, cannot be completely regarded as an old man, the pressure during this period of time has made him, the prime minister of civilian background, more and more aware that the breath of winter is approaching, especially in the new capital of Central Bia. The place, the wetland climate for many years, plus the continuous rain for seven or eight days, Yu Fenglong felt a pain in his whole body, so when someone suddenly called out in the middle of the night, after reading the report in his hand, he was even more effective. A precious blue and white tea cup was smashed, and the butler who sent the report looked dead gray. At the screen between the inner tents, a row of servants suddenly knelt down, all of them pale, not knowing who the Prime Minister sent it today. Fire, no one dared to take a breath

The Prime Minister has been very angry in recent days. Three servants have been dragged out to death because of poor service. Today, it can only be regarded as a bad luck. At this time, a beautiful figure walked from the outside. Coming in, she was a girl with a graceful figure. She was shocked when she saw people kneeling on the floor outside.

The butler who had exited the room saw the girl, walked over immediately, and said cautiously, "Miss Yuanyu, I'm afraid it's not easy to get in at this time. I don't know the reason just now. The Prime Minister will give the teacup he likes the most. Smashed"

The girl’s beautiful face moved slightly. She knew how Yu Fenglong liked that teacup, the porcelain embryo hand-made by a great scholar with a hundred dollars, and the kiln mouth burned by Li Dongyang, a bachelor of arts. Among the hundred pieces, that is, such a finished product. In the eyes of the Chinese and Biya literati, what kind of teacup is here and there is simply a holy relic stained with the sage of literature,

Even the royal family of China and Bahia once wanted to find this thing. The Li family, the head of the civil servants, began to buy it at a high price. In the end, it was nothing. It may be because of the war. The contemptuous wealthy families have declined. The treasures that were never revealed in the past are all sold at a low price. This Wensheng teacup is one of them. It was obtained by a local official and then given to the prime minister Yu Fenglong, Yu Feng Long immediately transferred this local official from a regional official to the Cabinet of Ministers of Central and Biyah. It can be said that there are more than three jumps. Now, Yu Fenglong has smashed this Wensheng teacup. It is conceivable that it is inevitable. What happened

"You said that the foster father smashed the tea cup before Qingming rain? But what did someone send in front?"

The girl asked, this girl is called Qianyu, she is the righteous daughter that Yu Fenglong brought back from the north of the Dahe Dao. She is said to be a righteous daughter, but she has a higher status than ordinary children, but they are all Yingying fourteen. At the age of five, she is more beautiful than Hua and her literary talent is also top-notch. As for the identity of this woman, Yu Fenglong never talks about it, and she never talks about the girl. It has always been a secret in the prime minister's house. A nephew of Yu Fenglong once saw it. By the time Qianyu was beautiful and teased, he was interrupted by Yu Fenglong and threw his feet out that day. Even the name was removed from the family tree of the Yu family. Of course, as a housekeeper who had followed Yu Fenglong for more than ten years, he was still Faintly able to guess some

"I sent a document from the south." The butler gave a dry cough and looked around carefully,

"Aden people?" In shallow words, I took a deep breath. This is already the South, and the name is defined as South. At this time, Zhongbia has a special meaning, that is, Luzhou, which is currently occupied by the Aden people. Now, in the entire New Capital of Central Bahia, the Empire and the people of Aden are taboo words. At this moment, Prime Minister Yu Fenglong opened the door of the study with a blue face, hurriedly greeted him with simple words, and said in a salute. Father"

"Why are you here?" Yu Fenglong was about to lose his temper, his face eased a little when he saw the light language.

"The head of the military cabinet, Tang Yu, came and said that there was urgent military affairs to discuss with the foster father. Now he is waiting in the lobby for the foster father." He said carefully in simple words

"Also, this document is in duplicate. One copy is with me, and the other should be in his hands. No wonder he can’t sit still. "Yu Fenglong didn’t know what he thought of, suddenly The corners of the mouth laughed loudly, seeming to have a somewhat gloating expression

In the lobby of the prime minister's residence, rain water smashed on the steps, Tang Yu sat upright on the chair, his eyes were looking at the tea on the table, and two spiced stoves were slowly pouring out. With the warm neon and hydrogen gas, as the youngest head of the military cabinet in the history of China and Bahia, Tang Yu’s heart at this moment is not even a trace of peace.

It was the report that made trouble. The people of Aden agreed to go north. This was a good thing. The biggest pressure facing China and Biya is from the empire in the north, especially the empire just helped Yelu last month. The family defeated the Northern Palace, it was the army assembled, and the army was on the front line of the river. The empire sent Lu Yangyu to Xinjing to negotiate loans. Tang Yu thought that at least it could be slowed down. Who knew that a group of civil servants led by Prime Minister Yu Fenglong suddenly attacked. Not only did the imperial envoy Lu Yangyu be under house arrest, but he also secretly negotiated with the Aden people. As a result, the imperial 80,000 cavalry south occupied the important town of Huizhou. For these tossing civil servants, Tang Yu was also a little helpless. It is to suppress the military with the culture, even if you are yourself, you are often squeezed out by these civil servants, but this time, even if it will offend the entire civil servants group, Tang Yu is absolutely impossible to agree,

What's the joke? It's fine to ask China and Biya to give up the road to the north, but also to redeem Luzhou with food from the China and Biya court!

Luzhou is originally from Zhongbia, so how can it be redeemed? What's more, the people of Aden have been in Luzhou for two months, looting and killing countless. It is not bad that the people of Zhongbia did not ask the people of Aden for compensation. If the Chinese and Bianlian court really agrees to this agreement, then it will be a shame for the entire Chinese and Bianyan soldiers. In any case, let the Prime Minister abolish this agreement.

Soon, the prime minister, Yu Fenglong, walked in from the outside with a solemn expression. After a few words of greeting, Yu Fenglong's eyes flashed on the seat, playing with a string of glazed jade beads, his eyes faintly flashing. Moving a bit fiercely, he asked, "Tang Yu, as the head of the military department of the Zhongbia Court, you tell me the truth, if the Zhongbia Court and the Aden people go to war, how much chance do we have?"

"If it's just a chance of winning, it's only 60%. If it says that the Aden Army will be trapped in Central and Biyah, I'm 80% sure."

Tang Yu is not welcome. When he came, he had already thought about this, so he answered categorically. "In Deyang, I also personally saw the equipment of the Imperial team from the Obaro area. The elite, the Aden Army is also from the Obaro region, no matter how strong it is, it will never be stronger than the Emperor's team, and the Aden Army's expedition, seemingly fierce, invaded, but it was delayed for two months in a small Luzhou. It is also because the main force of the Luzhou army is outside, otherwise I am afraid that it will not even be able to enter Luzhou. Such Aden army, whether it is a foreign force or a mid-man, has nothing to do with its appearance. On the contrary, our army has already been so unbearable in the past. The Wanchaotang army are all elites who have experienced **** battles with the prairie people and the emperor. They have been repaired. The sixty thousand Luzhou army is also red-eyed and want to kill back. There are also private army entangled by the regional cliques in several provinces near Luzhou. There are also 20,000 to 30,000 people, large and small. There are also some so-called volunteer troops. Our total strength is more than 200,000. It is a local warfare, occupying the right time and place. "

"It seems that you have already thought about this issue, so I will open up and say that it is not a problem to fight the Adenites with the military power you said, but if the defense force of the northern empire is taken out, how much force do you have? Fight against the people of Aden?" Prime Minister Yu Fenglong took the tea on the table and took a sip, his eyes narrowed into a line.

Tang Yu's face was embarrassed. What he just said did not consider the defensive empire going south. Yu Fenglong put down the tea cup in his hand, his mouth seemed to be smiling, and he suddenly said, "Master Tang Yu is a military cabinet. First of all, if you control the army of the court, you are so biased against the Lu family, so I am afraid it is not good." "What does the Prime Minister mean?" Tang Yu's face was blue, and he was a little unstable

"Isn't it?" "Yu Fenglong pretended to be surprised. After a pause, he slowly said." Since Luzhou was destroyed, the Lu family has not stopped in the Zhongbia court, and finally forced the court. I withdrew the Luzhou army, but I was very dissatisfied with the court's delay in fighting Luzhou. Although I know that Tang Yu is also a public person, I don’t know what to say from the outside. They all say that the Tang family has stuffed you. There are many benefits, and even send Miss Lu's family to the Tang clan. The great talent of Tang Yu is so biased against the Lu family that he even wants to use all the military power of the Zhongbia court to fight for the Lu family and retake Luzhou. It was when Miss Lu married into the Tang clan, although I knew it was fake, I was always afraid that it was not good."

"This is just nonsense!" Tang Yu's face was strained.

"Whether it is nonsense or not, I would like Master Tang Yu to answer me. After the defense of the empire is removed, the adults still have some confidence in winning!" Yu Fenglong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice. I asked, "I don't need 80%, 60%, or even 40%.~~щww~suimеng~lā..."

"This"

Tang Yu didn’t even know how to answer for a while. The 80,000 imperial cavalry occupying Huizhou is equivalent to knocking on the door to the south, and it may continue to deepen at any time. After Huizhou, there are a hundred thousand empire army. Eyes, the empire army is one after another, once spread out, it will be an irresistible situation,

Just for the defense of the empire, the 100,000 elites in the hands of the Zhongbia Chaotang did not dare to move, and the remaining 60,000 Luzhou Army that was able to fight was the red-eyed Luzhou Army, the so-called miscellaneous troops near Luzhou, in fact, In other words, no one knows how effective it can be on the battlefield. Such a combined army, in terms of equipment and experience, cannot be compared with the people of Aden. If you want to fight against the 200,000 Aden regular army, don't say 100%. Forty, I’m afraid it’s not even 20, but Tang Yu didn’t expect that Prime Minister Yu Fenglong would see this big loophole at a glance. He originally wanted to perfuse Prime Minister Yu Fenglong first, anyway, Yu Fenglong is a civil servant. It’s not a warrior, how can you really understand the key points inside, who knows that the other party is obviously waiting for him here

"It seems that you don't have a bottom line. Then there is nothing to discuss about the Aden Army's northward advance, because we have no room for bargaining." Yu Fenglong stood up and sighed long. , If Tang Yu can give him a look of confidence now, he might consider redeeming Luzhou without food, but Tang Yu obviously has no confidence

"Your Majesty, after signing this agreement, are you not afraid of being stinky for thousands of years?" Tang Yu stood up suddenly and glared at Yu Fenglong. Although Tang Yu was born in the Tang clan, he was a stranger in it. The prime minister who started his home by flattery was dissatisfied. In Deyang, he once scolded Yu Fenglong’s eighteenth generation, which can be regarded as the hob meat in the military minister, but it is obviously useless for the old hooligan who has experienced several ups and downs.

"Ten thousand years of stinking? It's really touching and scary!"

Yu Fenglong's old eyes widened, his body trembled slightly, and he sat on the bench with a wry smile and said, "I am the prime minister of Zhongbia, if it is my turn, what can I do? Since the military can’t count on it, it’s only going to be soft and let the people of Aden go north to fight the empire. You must know that Luzhou, as a major southern coastal area, is not only the backing and material flow area of ​​Liucheng Port, but also It is the only way for the Central and Biya Kingdom’s southern provinces to transport the Korean tax to Xinjing. The Aden Army occupied Luzhou for two months, which is equivalent to cutting off the Korean tax of the southern and northern transportation. There is a Liucheng Port in the front~IndoMTL.com~ in the back If it drags on for too long, when winter comes, the provinces are afraid that they will not transport the tax to the north. What will the entire Zhongbian court eat and use, and what will the 100,000 army use to raise it! They all say that I am raining. Feng Long blindly suppressed the empire and pleased the people of Aden. In fact, who knew the key points here, the emperor had not yet moved south, as long as there was meat, he would not really bite people, and the people of Aden had already been restrained. Chaotang’s throat is tightened every day. Only by opening Luzhou one day earlier will Chaotang have the possibility to stick to it. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will not be able to stick to it for a month!"

Booming, a flash of silver lightning flashed, shining on Tang Yu's pale face, looking at Yu Fenglong's distressed face, did he feel how incompetent and stink he was for the first time? At least Yu Fenglong took back Luzhou for the court and opened up the gate of the imperial tax to enter the new capital, but what about himself, as the head of the military ministry, what can he do!

It’s no secret that the court has a fiscal deficit. In fact, even the 100,000 elite generals in China and Biyako have made trouble in the military cabinet several times because of the sharp reduction in military expenditures in July. Pay, who wants to stay, not to mention the fact that the empire's army may go south at any time, and may be sent at any time to fight the imperial 80,000 cavalry. The army is in turmoil, and there are deserters every day. In order to collect the army’s pay, Tang Yu was already doing his best. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Finance were beaten all over, and he even encouraged some generals to go to the door of the civil servants to block the door, but the effect was not obvious. As Yu Fenglong said, if Luzhou does not take it When you come back, the court meeting will be over, and the army will be over. What are you talking about at that time?
