Chapter 1027: Wooden Cow and Flowing Horse

Although Tang Shaozhe promised repeatedly, several cabinet scholars refused to support it.Putting His Majesty the Emperor in a dangerous situation and using Xuanmen Taoism to protect his safety is unacceptable to any Confucian child.

Especially Yang Rong, the chief assistant of the Ming cabinet at this time, although he also knew the unpredictable supernatural powers of the master of the dynasty, but he insisted that Taoism can cultivate one's morality but is not good for governing the country.

After Yang Rong glanced at Tang Shaozhe contemptuously, he snorted coldly: "Why did the Master of the State make such a statement? How can you rely on the methods of warlocks to win the battle if you are a majestic son of heaven?" The name of Huaxia!"

Nima, who are the charlatans scolding?Who told you that you can't fight upright with an ak47?I have long heard that Yang Rong is proud of his talent, but he never thought that he would dare to challenge the Cultivation God face to face?Didn't we work together very well before?

After thinking about it carefully, Tang Shaozhe realized that no matter what he did before, it was nothing more than "uncanny skills".Even if you can "confuse" people for a while, you will certainly not be able to plan forever.But now it seems that I am afraid it is really dangerous.Plane Travel Guide 1027

If this battle is successful, it will definitely prove that Tang Shaozhe's words are true - it is not impossible for the strange skills to be elegant; if this battle fails, it must be possible to use the unpredictable means of the master There is no need to worry about keeping Zhu Di's life, but you can rely on Xuanmen secret techniques to ensure the safety of the emperor. Will the Ming Dynasty be filled with Huang Lao theories in the future?

Since this victory cannot be won or defeated, then simply mess up and pull it down.Children of Confucianism have always had to avoid suspicion.

Afterwards, Jin Youzi also bowed to Zhu Di and said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and the battlefield is ruthless. It is not the king of ten thousand chariots who takes risks lightly. Today, your Majesty only needs to bow down to rule the world. Why take the risk yourself? If you don't send someone The general will go out and think it is the best policy."

Even Yang Shiqi, who has always been exquisite, leaned forward and agreed: "The son of a thousand gold can't sit down, the safety of the world depends on my emperor, and it is not suitable for your majesty to conquest in person! Presumably with the benefits of Tang Guoshi's miraculous firecrackers, he can win the battle without your majesty's presence." Return to court."

However, Zhu Di did not agree with these opinions, and waved his hand directly: "I have become a great treasure, and I have never denied that the soldiers are fierce and dangerous. Today, the magic camp is great, and I will lay the foundation for future generations. Show the face of the Buluo Empire. As the lord of the world, how can I do nothing? What's more, it is the hatred of the late emperor all his life to punish the remnants of Beiyuan."

"That's right, Your Majesty. Presumably the soul of Your Excellency Ming Taizu will be very pleased by this!" Tang Shaozhe wished Zhu Di could send troops to fight as quickly as possible, so he immediately agreed.

"Your Majesty, you must not move lightly!" Yang Rong never concealed his attitude, and bowed again and again: "In the past, when His Majesty went to war, countless tigers and wolves from the three major battalions of the capital were used to drive them. Be careful."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Although everything is normal during training, if something unexpected happens during the battle, it will be too late. The three major battalions of the capital are now all named after the gods, and they are no longer Back then, they became horns of each other, please think twice, Your Majesty!"

What Jin Youzi meant was that the Five Army Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion, and the Shenji Battalion have now been merged into one, so the complementary strengths and weaknesses have been lost.In case something happens to the miracle firecracker of the Shenji Camp, it will be really fun.

Before Yang Shiqi was about to speak, Zhu Di had raised his hand to stop him from continuing: "No need to say any more, I have made up my mind, and I will officially send out troops in seven days. Youzi and Shiqi will go out together, and Mianren will stay in the capital to be responsible for the supply of food and grass. The crown prince supervises the country and decides all matters at the last opportunity! In this battle, if we can't "squeeze" the outside of the Great Wall and wash the inside of the universe, I swear I will not return!"

Although the three cabinet scholars were not willing for Zhu Di to conquer the Great Wall himself, they had to hold their noses and admit it at this time.They all knew Ming Chengzu's temper very well. Now that they had made a decision, they would never change it easily.

But even though he recognized it, he had to stare at Tang Shaozhe angrily to show his anger.It was this person's instigation that finally led Zhu Di to the road of war again.The Master said: No matter how big a country is, if it is warlike, it will surely perish!

There is nothing wrong with taking out miracle guns to improve national defense equipment, but it is not a good thing to take the initiative to go to war.Although Zhu Di had also issued an edict of enfeoffing the world under Tang Shaozhe's instigation before, but that was at most a future national policy for Ming Dynasty.

In fact, the cabinet members are more concerned about the popularity of high-yield crops than miracle firecrackers.Only when high-yield crops are fully popularized can Ming Dynasty not eventually decline due to frequent wars.

No one expected that Zhu Di's edict to entrust the world would be to fight as soon as he said it!Isn't this bullshit?You have fought too often in recent years, right?Except for the battle of Jingnan, which time did not mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops and civilians?

In other words, only the battle of Jingnan was to resist the whole country, and the rest were to mobilize absolute superior forces to bully the enemy!Not only because of such capital, but also because of such demand.

But right now, they are planning to restore the precedent of going out to fight with a small number of troops.How can this work?

His majesty the emperor of the Ming Dynasty led an army to march with only 10 soldiers. Isn't this too shabby?

"Forget it, the cabinet will provide food and grass based on the standard of 10 soldiers from the Shenji Battalion. This time the troops will not be recruited, nor will they be issued corvée! It must be a small amount of consumption, and it will definitely not hurt the country." Zhu Di finally finalized the discussion. .Plane Travel Guide 1027

As soon as this remark came out, all the three academicians in the cabinet all looked over, fixed on Tang Shaozhe and refused to relax.

If such a big war can really avoid the recruitment of civilians and corvée, then it will indeed not consume much, and it will not shake the foundation of the country.Although the Yongle Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty fought frequently, it was still a piece of cake to provide enough food and grass for an army of 10.

However, although the food and grass of 10 horses will not stretch the national treasury, the amount of it must not be underestimated.

就算这10万精锐按照每人每天半斤粮食的消耗来计算,那么10万人每天就是消耗5万斤粮食。这5万斤可是明代斤,每斤都有16两,换算成现代标准每斤差不多有800克。

Consuming 5 catties a day is 40 tons of grain.According to the usual practice, the army went out to attack Beiyuan far away, and basically don't think about coming back within half a year.Even if it is limited to 200 days, 8000 tons of grain will be consumed.According to the measurement unit of the Ming Dynasty, it is equivalent to about 84000 shi grains.

Converted by modern general standards, under normal circumstances, the load capacity of a small truck is 2 tons, that of a large truck is 5 tons, and that of a train wagon is 1 tons.

Therefore, at least 8000 small trucks and 4000 large trucks are needed to transport the 1600 tons of grain, and 134 wagons are required to load it by train.This kind of transportation volume might be nothing in modern times, but it was enough to make everyone collapse in Ming Dynasty.

The transportation of equipment only needs to consume fuel, but the Ming Dynasty can only use human transportation.This results in 10 soldiers needing 8000 tons of food, so logistical preparations require at least 16000 tons of food—the other 8000 tons are consumed by transportation.

Even if enough food is given for road transportation losses, a large number of civilians will still need to be conscripted as corvees.In fact, most people didn't worry about the tax rate in ancient times, but corvée was everyone's fear.

If corvee can be exempted, it will be enough to tempt countless people.Why is it that after a scholar passed the examination of a scholar and a scholar, countless people took refuge with their families, crying and shouting to sell themselves as slaves.Are they naturally soft-boned?Are they willing to be slaves to others?

Although the status of a free citizen can take part in the imperial examination to become an official, but selling one's body as a slave can be exempted from corvee transportation.Once they are conscripted into corvee, many people are almost as if they are going to die.

Therefore, whenever government corvee is encountered, people who have spare money in their families will inevitably spend money to replace corvee.Only the truly poor and helpless people will embark on the journey of corvee with tears in their eyes.For example, if the people in Shaanxi were asked to send military rations to Liaoning, they would die if they walked there.

The service personnel at home are usually the pillars of the family, and if something happens, the family will be destroyed.

Therefore, the common people fear corvee far more than autumn grain and summer harvest.If Tang Shaozhe can really avoid the suffering of corvee and transshipment, he does not know how much merit he will do.

Although the disciples of Confucianism are not happy to support Taoism disciples to show off their power, but the true disciples of Confucianism do take care of the people and rule the world as their life's pleasure.Hearing what Zhu Di said, the three cabinet scholars all looked over.

Tang Shaozhe intends to completely change Daming's status in the world today, but he hasn't made up his mind to do it now.He has a big article in his heart about changing the Ming Dynasty, and according to the plan, it will only be implemented after the victory in this battle and returning to the court.But hearing Zhu Di say that right now, it's really hard to speak out against it.

So Tang Shangxian laughed dryly, and said calmly, "Of course, these are all planned long ago. For this expedition to Mongolia, all the transportation of food and grass can be entrusted to me."

Although he was happy in his heart, Yang Rong immediately asked in doubt: "Since the national teacher has this magical technique, why doesn't the cabinet know it at all?"

"Ahem, Lord Yang, don't doubt it. It's really important, so only your Majesty and I know about it."

Sure enough, this heretical sorcerer actually wanted to use this to invite luck.Hmph, I just don't know what conspiracy is hidden in this matter.Almost in the blink of an eye, Yang Rong had decided that this was Tang Shaozhe's attempt to "confuse" the owner with black magic and bring chaos to the world!

After exchanging winks with Yang Shiqi and Jin Youzi, they quickly understood each other's thoughts.In any case, Tang Shaozhe must not be allowed to use Xuanmen Taoism to lure Ren Jun into the side door.

"Hehe, I don't know what method Tang Shangxian used to deliver food and grass for the army?" Jin Youzi began to inquire about the news.Plane Travel Guide 1027

Tang Shaozhe was defenseless: "Oh, I have wooden cows and horses to transport food and grass for the army!"

"Wooden cow and horse?" Not only the three cabinet scholars, but even Zhu Di was taken aback: "But the wooden cow and horse designed by Mr. Zhuge Kongming, the prime minister of Shu Han?"

"It's exactly this thing!" Tang Shaozhe smiled slightly, without the slightest hint of pride, but his whole body exuded supreme brilliance.
