The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 197 Shocking Wei Zifu

It was almost mid-July, and Wei Ning went to buy a lot of yellow paper in person early in the morning.

In previous sacrifices, there was no custom of using yellow paper. The emergence of paper has affected all aspects of society. Now the traditional way of worshiping ancestors has also changed.

After returning home, Weining entered Weiyang Palace with the map of the pedal loom.

On the way to the harem, Wei Ning saw Zhuang Qingzhai, Dong Zhongshu, Zhu Fuyan, Sang Hongyang, Li Cai and others, as well as several ministers he had never seen before.

They are Han Anguo, Wang Hui, and Li Xi. These are all famous generals who attacked South Vietnam, but they are not as famous as Wei Qing.

These officials were quite surprised to see Wei Ning.

Wei Ning and Huo Qubing have the same status as the nephews of the Emperor and Wei Zifu, but their treatment is completely different.

Huo Qubing could enter and leave the palace freely, but only within the outer court.

But Weining was able to enter and leave the harem freely. How could this not surprise the ministers?

However, they didn't have time to think so much at the moment, and they all walked towards the Qilin Palace.

Today Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned them to a small court meeting.

So many important ministers went to Qilin Hall, which shows the importance of this meeting.

This has been the case in all dynasties. Small matters are discussed in the big court meetings, and major matters are discussed in the small court meetings.

After this year's fiscal and tax revenue was reported by Sang Hongyang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's ambitions became clear. Unsurprisingly, this small court meeting must be to discuss the policy of attacking the Xiongnu.

Determine the time, route, baggage of the attack, and most importantly, determine the coach.

These matters will be discussed at the small meeting and then announced at the big meeting.

For this reason, both Li Cai and the old South Vietnamese military generals group have made sufficient preparations.

Everyone wants to take the position of the head coach of the Huns in this attack on the Hexi Corridor.

Which military general doesn't want to be remembered in history? This opportunity is too rare. It is related to the glory of the military commander's life. Everyone wants to grab the head coach position this time.

In the Qilin Hall.

As expected by the ministers, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty indeed planned to conduct a decisive battle against the Huns in the spring of next year.

In the previous two battles, the Han Dynasty achieved major war and political victories against the Xiongnu.

The Huns were driven from Liaoxi to Hetao, and then from Hetao to the Hexi Corridor.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's strategic intention this time was to completely eliminate the Huns from the doorstep of the Han Dynasty, either to exterminate them or to drive them thousands of miles away in Mobei, so that they would never pose any threat to the Han Dynasty's frontier fortress.

War Numbers Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty determined 20 troops in Guanzhong, Jiangnan, Liaoxi, and Northwest China this time.

The baggage department has even prepared nearly 9000 million Han five-baht war funds, and asked Sang Hongyang to start collecting grain now to ensure the continuous supply of grain and energy for transportation to the frontier fortress.

In the main hall, all the officials looked solemn. The scale of this war was unprecedented, and it was related to the future national destiny of the Han Dynasty!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked up at the huge screen map on the hall with bright eyes, waved his large dragon robe, and shouted: "I want to tell the Huns!"

"I want to go to them to settle the matter for more than 70 years of humiliation!"

"I want to tell them that from now on, we will change our offensive and defensive positions!"

The important ministers looked excited and shouted long live the great man.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked solemn, pressed his hands, looked around the ministers, and said sternly: "Who wants to command the army?"

Li Cai hurriedly held his fists and came out of the queue, saying: "Your Majesty, I recommend Li Guang!"

As Li Guang's cousin, Li Cai had no reason to support outsiders. Li Guang followed Wei Qing and fought many wars against the Huns, and his performance on the battlefield was remarkable.

The Li family, Li Gan, and Li Cai are all people who can mount a horse and fight.

Because they have been fighting the Huns for a long time, their advantage is that they are familiar with the Huns' fighting style.Everyone in the government knew that it was impossible for Wei Qing to command the army this time, so Li Guang became the most suitable candidate.

However, after Li Cai finished speaking, Han Anguo stepped forward with fists clasped and said, "I recommend Yan Zhu."

Han Anguo, Wang Hui, and Yan Zhu were all members of the South Vietnamese military generals group.

Their qualifications are much higher than that of Wei Qing. Before Wei Qing was promoted, they were in the early days of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty where they unified the military area to attack South Vietnam and the Southeast Rebellion.

Because of their repeated military exploits in the southeast, these older generation military generals and officials formed alliances.

However, with the rise of Wei Qing, they gradually disappeared from people's sight.

Dating back to the early period, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to safely survive the rebellions in various places in the early period, and this group of military generals played an important role.

Li Cai plays the emotional card, and Han Anguo plays the emotional card.

Everyone wants to get the position of coach from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to attack the Huns next year.

Neither side gave in and fought hard based on reason.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also wavering for a while. He preferred Li Guang to be the head coach this time.

Now Li Guang is stationed at the border in Hebei County. Small-boned Huns occasionally appear at the border fortress, but they all fear Li Guang like a tiger and even give Li Guang the title of Flying General.

It is also enough to show how fearful Li Guang has been in the hearts of the Huns over the past year.

But after all, Li Guang had no experience in commanding an army of more than 20 people. When Yan Zhu attacked Fujian and Vietnam, he led a full [-] troops and calmed down the situation in South Vietnam.

Although the combat effectiveness of the South Vietnamese countries is not comparable to that of the Huns, after all, Yan Zhu has experience in uniting armies on such a large scale.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hesitated for a while, looked at Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai, and asked his opinion.

Regarding military and political affairs, Zhuang Qingzhai did not dare to talk nonsense. He did not favor anyone and analyzed the pros and cons of both parties theoretically.

Saying it means not saying it.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Dong Zhongshu, Zhu Fuyan, Sang Hongyang and others that they were good at managing internal affairs and did not dare to talk nonsense about unifying the army.

Your emperor is an expert in this area, so I’d better listen to you.

The matter was so serious that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not make a decision immediately.

……

Pepper House.

Wei Zifu looked at the drawings Wei Ning handed her seriously.

She was very familiar with the diagram structure of the textile machine. Although the drawings handed over by Wei Ning had been changed, not many things had changed. Wei Zifu could easily understand the operation process.

Gradually, the only sound left in the quiet Jiaofang Hall was the sound of gasps.

Wei Zifu looked up at Wei Ning uncertainly and said, "Xiao Ning... did you draw it?"

Weining nodded and said, "Fourth aunt, I see that you are weaving clothes every day. The traditional handloom has too much workload and low efficiency."

"What do you think of this pedal?"

Wei Zifu's eyes were filled with shock. Wei Zifu clearly knew how much the textile efficiency had been improved.

Wei Zifu was extremely excited just thinking about how significant this improvement would be in promoting the handicraft industry in human society!
The folk textile industry is not yet developed, and many people are still worried about dressing.

Once this kind of textile machine comes out, what will happen to the development and sales of the textile industry in the Han Dynasty?

Wei Zifu looked at Wei Ning blankly. She really couldn't figure out how this little guy could overturn the textile machine in one night.
