back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 826

Lu Chengqi was also keenly aware of the change in the attitude of the civil servants, and thought: "It seems that these civil servants are really greedy, they even want to have a hand in the war!"

But considering that war is always to serve politics, civil servants want to intervene, but it is actually not too much.It's just that the vision of these civil servants is too narrow, they only see the immediate benefits, but they don't see the long-term benefits.Take Goryeo as an example, a white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with it, but they treat Goryeo as a treasure, and send out piles of gifts in return every year.But what is Koryo Dang Dashun?You are being taken advantage of, and some worthless "native products" are brought in every year in exchange for a large amount of gold and silver treasures, silk and satin, and you can go back with a lot of money.

Once Dashun refused to give it, they would hold back their thoughts and play tricks.Are you not doing me any favors?Alright, I'll switch overlords!
In this way, Koryo turned to the embrace of Liao.Originally, it stands to reason that this is like a husband and wife who are at odds, and everyone talks and breaks up.But Gao Li's practice of stabbing a knife in the back is too immoral.Fortunately, Lu Chengqi knew the priorities of the matter. If not, it would be possible to conquer Goguryeo several times like the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the official history.

The purpose of the intercourse now is to shake the mountain and shake the tiger, to scare the chickens and monkeys, and to remind the surrounding countries that want to make small moves. Dashun is still the same Dashun, rich and powerful, and you can't mess with it.

Of course, it would be even more icing on the cake if the Cochin Extermination Kingdom could be included in the territory of Dashun.

Lu Chengqi wanted to provoke these civil servants, and asked deliberately: "General Lu is invincible, and Annan's army fled. It's a pity that there are too few troops to complete the great cause. Ladies and gentlemen, you can tell me how many more soldiers and horses I should send to make it happen." fulfill the wishes of the subjects of the world?"

The implication is that I naturally want to ask these civil servants. The matter is very clear. Tell me, how many soldiers and horses will be added to eliminate Jiaozhi.

Out of checks and balances on the military officers, a civil servant immediately jumped out and said: "Your Majesty, I think that although Dashun is famous for being a teacher, it is originally a state of etiquette. It is enough to conquer it. Why destroy the country? Although Annan was rampant before , but now his vitality is seriously injured, and he will definitely not dare to commit crimes in the future. Besides, Annan can be regarded as the first to establish a country. Submit to the other vassal states?"

As soon as the words fell, a military officer jumped out and retorted: "The final general cannot agree. You must know that you will not die if you kill a tiger, but you will suffer from it. Although Annan is a small country, he is ambitious. Today, Dashun has already defeated its capital. How can I not hold grudges? Instead of keeping a poisonous insect by my pillow that can devour people at any time, why not destroy it at one stroke when it can't take care of both ends? Moreover, Annan was originally my old land in the Central Plains. You can go after Taizu Gaozong!"

After all, the military officer is not as good as the civilian officer said: "After many years of conquest, but in exchange for the land of a single state, is it a blessing for the people of the world? Don't say that Annan has been separated from the Central Plains for a hundred years. Even the people of Annan never thought that they were Han people?"

When the civil official said this, the military officer was even more dissatisfied.The two sides divided into two camps and quarreled. The scene was comparable to a vegetable market.

Seeing this, Lu Chengqi slammed the cantilever of the dragon chair and shouted angrily: "I have decided to send troops, what are you fighting for?"

This angry shout finally quieted down the Daqing Palace.

Lu Chengqi glanced coldly at the court, and said word by word: "I don't understand your small thoughts. Conquering Annan is a grand plan drawn up by me personally, and it is related to the future of Dashun for a hundred years! You don't know Bing, why do you have the confidence to say that you will accept it? I am not afraid to tell you that Lu Chenhuan has turned Annan upside down and is making a strategic detour. He is waiting for the reinforcements to arrive and take down all the cities in Annan! "Speaking of this, Lu Chengqi paused for a moment, and then continued, "This matter has already been decided. What I asked you to discuss in the court is just how many troops will be dispatched this time, and who will lead the troops. It's good for you to tell me about this battle here. Wrong beating? People have bullied you, and you still treat them with courtesy? Are you stupid in reading?"

In fact, Lu Chengqi knew in his heart that these civil servants were not stupid in reading, but on the contrary, the more they read, the smarter they became.They deliberately confuse the public, in fact, they want to weaken the momentum of the military attache's power.These civil servants are very smart!

Civil and military affairs have always been wrong, after all, there is only so much power.If you gain power, my power will be reduced by one point.Even if your power is cut off, even if it can't be returned to me, I still earn money.You can say that these civil servants think about the country, there is indeed a little bit.But they will consider personal interests first, and then consider the interests of civil servants.As for the interests of the country and the interests of the people, they all depend on it!Only under the premise of not harming personal interests and the interests of civilian groups, will national interests be taken into account by them.

From this point of view, it makes sense.Why do these civil officials know that many things are beneficial to the country and the people, but they just don't do them.Why?Damaged their interests!Taking their interests out has enriched the country and enriched the people, but they have left nothing behind. The civil servants are all veterans in the officialdom, how can they be so stupid!This is why it is so difficult to weaken the privileges of officials. If you really want to weaken them, then the civil and military officials are all on the same front, and they will definitely try to sabotage them until you revoke the decree and die.

Before creating a golden opportunity, Lu Chengqi would not do it.

As for the taxes that these officials are exempt from, let them be happy for a few years for the time being!

The most important thing now is to incorporate Jiaozhi into the territory.It is not safe to keep a small country with wolfish ambitions by your side.Who knows when he will go crazy and jump out and bite you?
Being scolded by the little emperor, no matter how thick-skinned those civil servants were, they did not dare to speak freely.

So far, who in the Daqing Palace can't see it?Wasn't the so-called conquest of Annan planned by the little emperor?It is estimated that what the little emperor thinks is not as simple as conquest. With the ambition of the little emperor, he must take advantage of the excellent opportunity of "recovering the homeland".

If he can really achieve his wish, the little emperor will definitely leave a strong mark in history, and he is afraid that he can rival the great ancestor Gaozong.

After the civil servants figured this out, the military officers were already chattering and set the number of troops to go.Lu Chengqi also made a decision: "One hundred thousand soldiers and one hundred thousand auxiliary soldiers are also reasonable. How many days do you expect to arrive in Annan?"

"About a month or so..."

Lu Chengqi did some calculations. With Fatty Lu's ability, he should be able to last for a month, right? "What do you think, who is the commander in chief?"

The military officers looked at each other in blank dismay, in fact, each of them wanted to pick up ready-made.Fatty Lu almost defeated Jiaozhi. No matter who it is, once the leader arrives at Jiaozhi, Li Rizun will definitely surrender under pressure.It's like picking up a hot pancake with cold hands. Where can I find such a good thing?However, these military officers also knew that they were not the direct confidants of the little emperor.The little emperor has such a good errand, how can he be cheap to outsiders!

"Since the ministers did not recommend it, I do have a favorite candidate. What do you think, Yang Wenguang, a direct bachelor of the Privy Council, is the commander-in-chief?"
