Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Verse 35 Conclusion?

This suggestion immediately resonated with many ministers in the palace. Yes, the empire is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, and its military strength is stretched. Support was dispatched, and besides, the current situation of the Terok battle has been relatively stable, and the large-scale attacks of the Kamans on the Terok side have basically stopped. Now the battlefield is just a small-scale local conflict, and neither side has invested major forces. It is completely possible to transfer the previously invested troops from Terok.

Seeing that even His Majesty the Emperor had a deeply appreciative look on his face, He Zhiqiu secretly complained. He also knew that someone would definitely make this suggestion. However, it was turbulent, making the outside world seem to have stabilized, but he himself deeply knew that this was just a superficial phenomenon. On the battlefield in the Jiama area, although the number of troops is similar to that of the combined army of the Empire and the Principality of Terok, its combat effectiveness is much higher than that of the combined army. Especially compared with the army of the Principality of Terok, the combat effectiveness of the Kaman army is far superior.

If the imperial army really withdraws from the battlefield of the Principality of Terok, He Zhiqiu dares to assert that within three months, Terok will become the possession of the Kaman people. By then, the empire will lose the thick land of Terok With a natural barrier, the Kamanians could point directly at the central hinterland of the empire, and there was almost a flat plain without any shelter. How should the empire respond?

After calming down, the Minister of Military Affairs first saluted the Emperor, then glanced at the three people coldly and said, "I don't know why Lord Yusuf thinks so? Could it be that Lord Yusuf is sure about it?" Does the combined army of the Empire and the Principality of Terok have an absolute advantage over the Kamanian army?"

He Zhiqiu's words were not as polite as before, and seemed a bit sharp and abrupt.

Facing the boss's tough questioning, Yusuf was a little nervous, but he was not very afraid because he was the emperor's confidant. With a smile, he didn't want to make the relationship with the Minister of Military Affairs too rigid, and said slowly: "Master He, I think you misunderstood me. I didn't say that the coalition forces have any effect on the Kaman army. advantage, but the empire is in such an extremely dangerous and harsh situation, I think we should first consider the security of the empire, and everything else should be placed in a secondary position. As Lord Ning said, this The Taiping Sect has been active in the empire for more than ten years, but the internal affairs department of the empire did not realize the problem until a few years ago. Let alone the ability of the internal affairs department of the empire, it can also prove that the Taiping Sect is deeply hidden. Then And who can clearly find out how many Taiping rebels are in the imperial capital?"

"This emperor is no better than any other place, it is the center of gravity of the empire. Once something goes wrong, it will affect the entire empire. The responsibility is not something you and I can bear. It can be said that there must be no problems in the imperial capital. , we can’t afford any problems, we’d rather be more cautious, and we can find a way to fight back if it’s lost in other places, so the lower officials are firmly opposed to drawing soldiers from the imperial capital. As long as Mr. He can raise troops from other places to solve the immediate problem, I have no objection." Yusuf finished his opinion with a smile.

Yousuf's words were well-founded and immediately won the support of almost all the ministers in the palace. Although His Majesty's attitude could not be seen yet, He Zhiqiu knew that if he couldn't come up with a well-reasoned opinion, I am afraid that my plan will be rejected, but can the reasons for my opinion impress these people here? He Zhiqiu is not sure, because compared with the safety of the imperial capital, the survival of the Principality of Terok, none of the ministers present will think that Terok is more important. Even if the risk of accidents in the imperial capital is very small, they will not take this risk. .

Taking a deep breath, He Zhiqiu's face was stern. He pondered for a while before raising his eyebrows and said, "I don't want to comment too much on Mr. Yusuf's opinion. I just want to reiterate that the empire is in the imperial capital. There are as many as 100,000 elite guards inside, so they can't cope with the so-called possible Taiping rebellion? Lord Yusuf must have underestimated the guards too!"

He Zhiqiu knows that the relationship between the two armies of the city guard and the imperial guard has always been at odds, and Yusuf and Ma Yuanxiang are even more at odds with each other. In order to compete for favor in front of the emperor, the two often slander each other. don't care. Right now, if he wanted to persuade the Emperor to despise His Majesty, he had to hold back the imperial guards, even if the means were a bit dirty, he had no choice but to ignore them.

"But everyone is looking at the situation in Terok, just as Lord Yusuf also admitted that the combined forces of the Empire and Terok do not have any advantage in the battle there. To be honest, we are still at a disadvantage. Once the Empire The reinforcements are withdrawn, so you can think about it, what will happen to Terok? Once Terok is finished, will the Kaman people stop there?! Look at the surrounding geographical environment, no need It is said that there are still Taiping sects making trouble there, and the Kaman army can easily drive south and east. At that time, why should we go back and fight back?! I am afraid that it is already a blessing to be able to stop the enemy's invasion It’s a blessing.” He Zhiqiu’s words were so perfect that the ministers present couldn’t help feeling chills in their hearts. If that’s the case, half of the empire’s territory would fall, and by then, even though the imperial capital was in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it might not be safe.

The hall was dull for a while. He Zhiqiu had served as the Minister of Military Affairs of the Empire for more than ten years. He was familiar with the surrounding situation and military situation of the Empire. There is no one who can compare with him in this aspect, but no one dares to refute what he said now.

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor's expressionless gaze cruising over the faces of the ministers in the palace, the ministers' scalps felt numb for a while. His Majesty the Emperor obviously wants everyone to come up with opinions, but it is certainly inappropriate to support He Zhiqiu's opinions at the moment , but it is impossible for you to find reasons to refute the Minister of Military Affairs. This is really a tricky thing.

Although no one came out to refute him for a while, He Zhiqiu's heart kept sinking. The hall that used to look golden and decorated with beams and painted buildings looked a little gloomy at this moment, because he knew that his views must be at odds with His Majesty's. Otherwise, according to the past situation, His Majesty the Emperor should have come to a conclusion long ago, instead of waiting for the ministers to speak with such a blank face. This is obviously hoping that someone will come out to overthrow his opinion, and with such a silent hint from His Majesty the Emperor, Those ministers who hope to please His Majesty will jump out and criticize their views sooner or later, even if they don't understand military affairs at all.

Sure enough, someone soon stood up. It was the first deputy minister of the Imperial Administration, Ning Yuanwang. I'm not used to this person, and he always has to find a high-sounding coat for himself in any behavior. In a word, he looks pure and arrogant on the outside, but in his heart he is a thief and a prostitute. This is He Zhiqiu's classic summary of him.

"Your Excellency is a bit alarmist. Although I am not very proficient in military affairs, I also know that there are still several strong fortresses that the coalition forces can rely on in Terok. The Principality of Terok is already facing such a dangerous situation. Could it be that they I won't use all the power of the country to fight to the death. I think in the current stable situation, our withdrawal of our troops will not have much impact, because I heard that Terok's reserve troops are already going to the front line in a steady stream. Taking a step back, even if the Kamanians were able to win in Terok, it would not be a matter of ten and a half months, and it would take three to five months to completely control the situation, let alone with Terok If this trapped beast fights, their consumption will not be small, right? Wouldn't it be much easier for us to welcome and help Terok regain the territory?"

Ning Yuanwang's rhetoric sounds impeccable to laymen, but it seems to He Zhiqiu's people who are well-versed in military affairs that it is undoubtedly whimsical. Once the army of the empire withdraws, Terok's current strength can be maintained. A week is a miracle. Those so-called reserve troops really faced the battle-hardened Kankaman army. There is no doubt that it will be a one-sided massacre. As for the conquest and pacification, the Yuejing Kingdom is the best example. That month, the Kamanans would be free to target the Empire to the south.

However, not all the ministers in the hall are as knowledgeable about military aircraft as He Zhiqiu, but they know that Ning Yuanwang is the first deputy minister of the empire's administration and presides over the imperial affairs~IndoMTL.com~ Knowing that in fact, His Majesty the Emperor also secretly agrees This opinion, more importantly, they also hope that the emperor can have a stronger army to protect them. As for other things, they don't want to think about it.

Immediately there was a burst of echoing voices in the main hall. Although the rest of the officials did not make a clear statement, their expressions showed deep approval, which made He Zhiqiu's heart chill for a while. Explained or refuted, because he knew that no matter how hard he tried, the other party would always find some well-reasoned evidence. Before things became reality, who could guarantee that these things would not really happen? He could only bow his head silently, and listen to His Majesty's final ruling.

All the ministers looked at the throne in the center of the upper head, but Situ Mingyue on the throne was hesitant at this time. To be honest, he agrees with Yusuf and Ning Yuanwang. The safety of the imperial capital is of great importance, so there is no risk at all. As for the situation in Jieluo, it is good to be able to stabilize it. There is room for manoeuvre, but reason and experience tell him that the Minister of Military Affairs' opinion is absolutely true. Once a wrong decision is made, the consequences may be irreparable, so he is also very distressed at this time.

Clearing her throat lightly, Situ Mingyue didn't show any inclination on her face, she just frowned slightly, and said in a calm tone: "Your opinions are very reasonable. In this critical moment, I am very relieved to see all of you devoting your mind to the safety of the empire and offering advice and suggestions. This is the end of today's court meeting. As for how to deal with it, I have my own reasons, and I will make an announcement tomorrow morning."

All the ministers were astonished when they heard the words, but they all reacted immediately and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
