Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 966
Jia Rong was a little funny, co-authored with the Xifu next door to treat him as a bad person, and benefited from being a good person?

It's just that the benefits that the West Mansion next door wants are impossible.

At this time, the Jia family studies had gradually become the core heritage of the family.

Although the gap is not small compared with the colleges outside, for the Jia family, it can already be counted as the foundation of hundreds of years.

As long as the Jia Clan School is still operating normally and can cultivate a steady stream of middle and low-level talents, it is impossible for the Jia Clan in the capital headed by the Ningrong Second Mansion to completely decline, it is so overbearing.

He personally came forward to teach a few powerful children who did not abide by the rules of ethnology, and immediately made these guys behave.

There are also some incentives and rewards and punishments, in short, it is hard to suppress the dandy habits of these rich and powerful descendants.

However, without Jia Rong personally sitting in the town, no one can guarantee that this group of oppressed playboys will explode suddenly?

Fortunately, he doesn't need to be distracted from the ordinary affairs of the Ning Mansion.

If there is any major matter, he can easily handle it on the ethnology side, and it will not delay his performance of the duties of the dean.

However, something that Wang Ziteng accidentally mentioned in the letter attracted Jia Rong's attention.

Being rich is such arrogance!
As the top leaders of the military, there are very few things and existences that can make them scruples. As long as they have enough interests, they will not let them go easily.

Just kidding, the tribes outside the Great Wall are standard bandits.

According to Dai Quan, he is quite dissatisfied with the cabinet today, and may even have the idea of ​​changing the old cabinet.

It will take several years or even ten years to recover from the loss of personnel alone.

As a result, the tribal army outside the Great Wall took the initiative to retreat.

At the very least, it won't attract too much interest from the family of the Founding Kingdom Xungui Group.

The news did not leak widely, which is obviously the result of deliberate today.

With the help of today, the civil servant group finally suppressed the general Xungui group in one fell swoop, how could it give the general Xungui group a chance to stand up?

For example, the situation of Goryeo and Wa, as well as the geographical location, etc., are relatively clear.

After all, if you want to make a difference today, military merit is also an indispensable embellishment.

Coupled with the proceeds from the looting of Dagan's stronghold outside the Great Wall, it was enough for the rest of the tribe to survive the most difficult stage safely.

According to Wang Ziteng's optimistic estimate in the letter, in another year or so, the construction of the port will be completed.

Either way, the cabinet bosses don't want to see it.

The crazy tribes outside the Great Wall did not destroy the frontier fortress town controlled by the Dagan frontier army, but suffered heavy losses themselves.

But these are not difficult for the founding Xungui Group.

If there is no reliable person to preside over it personally, the best choice is to wait and see what happens, and wait for those ambitious and aggressive founding noble families to explore the route, and then go to drink soup.

Today, I naturally understand the thoughts of the cabinet chiefs, but the more this is the case, the worse the mood becomes.It is ridiculous that military affairs are not comparable to group interests.

It is not difficult at all to support the frontier army to take the initiative to attack for two to three months with the accumulation of reserves for many years.

After all, although the tribes outside the Great Wall suffered heavy losses, the backbone forces are still there, and they can even take this opportunity to annex the small and medium tribes with astonishing losses.

Although Jia Rong paid attention to it and knew that the things inside would not be simple, she didn't mean to stop it.

But right now, the four big families in Jinling are doing their best to attack the urban construction of coastal ports, and they really don't have the extra energy to care about overseas trade.

If the goal of expanding the results of the war is achieved, the generals group's momentum will reach a peak, and thus have a greater say in the court.

Obviously, Wang Ziteng didn't care much about this, and only occasionally mentioned it in his letter to Jia Rong.

In the entire Jia clan, there are almost no talents who can stand on their own.

The Twelve Gold Hairpins do have such potential, but they haven't reached the point where they need to show their faces.

Everyone knew it, but they just didn't say it.

As a result, some honorable families set their sights on ocean shipping, which is more profitable and riskier.

As long as it succeeds once, the profit earned is enough to form a large-scale ocean-going fleet.

In particular, after the Huangzhuang incident, if any cabinet boss dared to use grain and grass as an excuse, Huangzhuang's grain reserves would definitely slap him in the face.

In fact, as one of the top military leaders, Jia Rong knows that such a situation has already occurred in Dagan.

But if the strike is not strong enough, not only will the robbers not be afraid, but they will also think that your strength is not very good, and they will make a comeback soon.

But right now, there is a sudden big wave of tribes outside the Northwest Great Wall, and it is obvious that such an existence model will be completely untenable.

Right now, the frontier fortress is facing such a situation.

Once these guys collude with the bandits outside the Great Wall to make a fortune, the consequences will be quite serious.

As mentioned earlier, the former Ming Dynasty had not had time to ban the sea because it fell too quickly.

Their competitive format is single, and their financial stability is a joke.

If we set off from Jinmen Port and did not encounter storms at sea, it would not take much time to reach these two countries, and it would even take a few days longer than transporting goods from the south to the north.

The point is that the tribes outside the Great Wall cannot withstand the long-term consumption of war.

If the frontier army ignores them and confronts them for three months, even delaying can drag the tribes outside the Great Wall into cripples.

The authority of the cabinet cannot be shaken. Even if you know that the decisions made by the cabinet elders are wrong, you can only bite the bullet and implement them for a while.

Of course, for tribes outside the Great Wall who have encountered rare cold disasters and snow disasters, appropriate attrition is not unacceptable, and it may be intentional by the tribe's high-level officials.

Although Dagan was a feudal agricultural dynasty, there was no ban on the sea, and the understanding of the outside world was relatively clear.

On the Jinmen port side, with the increase of sea-going vessels traveling to and from the sea, the port’s income is getting bigger and bigger, and the speed of construction will naturally increase with the money.

In fact, it is definitely a good thing if the founding power of the nobles can spread its tentacles to Korea and Japan.

Following in the footsteps of the four major families in Jinling, the founding Xungui Group also started the offshore transportation business, and also made a lot of money.

To put it bluntly, the reason why the cabinet bosses collectively opposed the expansion of the results of the war was just that they didn't want the power of generals to rise.

This is not the most terrible thing, but from now on, the tribes outside the Great Wall will never be wiped clean, and I feel shuddering when I think about it.

On the other hand, the war on the frontier had already come to an end in early February.

For the collective opposition of the cabinet, today is quite angry.

It's just that this kind of money-making model of transporting goods from south to north, and transporting goods from north to south, and with many competitors, the profit is just like that.

With the Dazhong Coal Mine in Jin Province as the base, there is no need to worry about failure at all.

Besides, after the tribe outside the Great Wall had tasted the sweetness, it was impossible for them to return to their previous state of existence.

Daming in normal history is the best example.

Of course, for Jia Rong, the core leader of the Founding Group, it is easy to know the details of such things.

Once the war starts, the importance of the cabinet will be greatly reduced. On the contrary, the importance of the five armies' governor's office and the Ministry of War will be highlighted.

Jia Rong also knew the history of the late Ming Dynasty, and she didn't trust the integrity of certain forces within Dagan.

Even if all the ocean-going ships produced are sunk, it will be a big deal to start all over again in a year or two.

Of course, this is only the first phase of construction. If you want to expand in the future, then start the second wave and the third wave of construction, leaving enough margin.

There are some unclear entanglements between the Northwest Frontier Army and the Mongolian forces over there.

After all, the stronghold outside the frontier town is not so easy to establish, and the land management there is more difficult.

Even sitting on an equal footing is unacceptable!
This is the real reason for the collective opposition of the cabinet leaders. There are not so many worries for the country, and some are just outright interests.

But the authority of the cabinet was lifted by him, even if he was kneeling, he would have to swallow the bitter fruit alone.

The point is, ocean trade makes money.

Once such a situation really occurs, the frontier fortress will never have peace in the future.

Otherwise, how did the large number of royal utensils of the former Ming Dynasty appear in the homes of the rich and powerful in the capital?

The difference between today and the cabinet bosses is whether to take advantage of the trend to expand the results of the war?

The reason is quite good. The imperial court's finances really cannot withstand the consumption of a long war.

Coupled with the fact that the intensity of the fighting in the northwest has not been great, the bigwigs in the capital just turned a blind eye and closed their eyes.

When the news spread back to the capital, the imperial court naturally publicized it vigorously in the name of "big victory", which aroused heated discussions among the people in the capital.

As for the safety of the route, just try to take a few more trips.

But what Jia Rong can do is very limited. After all, the cabinet collectively opposes the expansion of the results, and even today it will not really refute the cabinet's face.

There is still some distance between the inner core and the four major families in Jinling at this time.

If he took the initiative to enter the court, he would have a great chance to enter the cabinet and become a cabinet elder within ten years, but he didn't have such thoughts.

However, since the beginning of the first month, the weather has been either sunny or cloudy. In three days, not a single drop of rain or snowflakes have fallen, obviously showing signs of drought.

Jia Rong just listened silently, and didn't have any ideas.

Back then, the Oala tribe of Mongolia broke through the capital and swept across the Northland. How much gold, silver, jewels and good things were looted?
The Dagan Northwest Frontier Army and the Mongolian forces have confronted each other for a hundred years, and small-scale battles are often carried out, but private business exchanges have not been cut off.

The only thing that needs to be considered is the safety of the route.

But the cabinet leaders disagreed, thinking that the current situation is very good.

The other three companies are also in the same situation. You must know that ocean voyages are extremely risky, and you need someone with strong ability to preside over the overall situation in person, instead of hiding behind the scenes and silently guiding like Jia Rong.

It can support Wang Ziteng to attack the cabinet. At this time, the four major families in Jinling are much more powerful than the four families in Jinling in the story of the Red Mansion.

When he turned around and participated in the internal exchange meeting of the Founding Group, he bluntly said: "There will be troublesome frontier fortresses in the future!"

If the cabinet does this every time, is it okay?

In the Southern Ming Dynasty, it was even more impossible to ban the sea for fiscal revenue.

However, Jia Rong, one of the military leaders, knows that the cabinet leaders are too selfish, and these reasons are nothing at all.

Not to mention, the geographical environment of the outing of the fortress is very bad. I don't know if I can make a contribution and how long it will take?
If it becomes a guerrilla warfare and a harassment station, it will take an unknown amount of time, and the imperial court's finances can't afford it.

However, during the small-scale government discussions, there were quite obvious differences of opinion between today and the cabinet chiefs.

If they come to rob the door, if they teach them a serious lesson, even if they can't be wiped out directly, they can be kept quiet for a long time.

If the brain is brighter, it is necessary to adjust the strategy in time and stop the business with the tribes outside the Great Wall in time, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.

During the regular meeting with Dai Quan, a member of the Daming Palace, this guy revealed his current bad state of mind.

He understood what Dai Quan said, but he didn't have the idea of ​​being the first bird.

You know, the cost of the court during the war is like running water.

Even if Wang Ziteng failed to attack the cabinet, he would not end up being easily poisoned.

It is true that the imperial government's finances cannot withstand the consumption of war, but do the armament warehouses in the frontier fortress not exist?

In short, Jia Rong will definitely not be peaceful after knowing the frontier fortress.

This is also the most embarrassing place for the four major families in Jinling. There is an extreme lack of generals who can take charge of one side and preside over the overall situation.

It continued until the Daqian period, and made great achievements in the exploration of overseas routes.

In the normal history of Ming Dynasty, the finances were completely dragged down by the frontier wars that lasted for many years.

The maritime route documents and drawings held by the Ministry of War contain relevant information, including those from the Ming Dynasty and those explored by Dagan himself.

If you stop people from getting rich, there will be no good fruit to eat.

The current thinking is to order the frontier army to strike hard, it is best to severely damage the opponent's core strength and regain a little face.

As the top leader of the military, it is very easy to borrow these resources.

Don't look at the big victory in the external publicity, but in fact it has suffered a lot from doing so.

Once the war is prolonged, the generals group may really take the opportunity to turn around.

The transportation of food, grass, military equipment and various materials is a money-burning job.

It can be said that Daming was not defeated by alien races outside the Great Wall, but by some domestic interest groups.

This is naturally not a good thing for the Dagan Empire.

This is not a good situation. Maybe there will be a large-scale drought in the north this year, and the reduction of grain production has become a foregone conclusion.

It can be said that the continuous sunny and cloudy days have given the current and core bosses a very bad mood, and it feels like God is targeting them.

But Jia Rong knew that in the Central Plains during the Little Ice Age, natural disasters had never been cut off, and it had been like a day for decades.

If you don't prepare well, or if you don't respond properly, even if Dagan is in its peak state, there may be a possibility of collapse...
