back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 869
"He wants to fight, and I will fight!"

Only when you have elite soldiers in your hands can your waist be strong.If the Forbidden Army was like ten years ago, Lu Chengqi would never have such confidence.

Of course, it is not enough to have elite soldiers, there must be food and cotton clothes.

The Han people are not very cold-tolerant, and once winter comes, their combat effectiveness will drop significantly.Lu Chengqi also took this into consideration. Over the years, Huangzhuang has mobilized the people to plant cotton all over the sixteen prefectures of Youyun. Although it is only Asian fine cotton, it is also quite warm when sewn into linen.

With such logistical support and millions of elite soldiers, why fear the Liao Kingdom?
The biggest problem now is that civil servants still have a psychological fear of Khitan people.It's no wonder that the Khitan people, who have tolerated the cold and ate meat since childhood, are generally taller than the southern Han people, and even the northern Han people are a little bit taller.Kong Wu's powerful appearance, the Han civil officials said "barbarian", but they were afraid in their hearts.When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain why.In addition to taking advantage of words, civil servants are absolutely at a disadvantage in terms of force.

In addition, in recent decades, when Dashun fought with the Liao Kingdom, most of them lost more than they won, which has already made the civil servants lose confidence. When they heard that the Khitan people committed crimes in the south, they were so frightened that their whole body went limp. Tang Seng is not as good.With such courtiers desperately trying to surrender at the back, how can we win the battle at the front?

This situation did not improve until Jiaozhi was included in the territory of Dashun.But Jiaozhi has always been the "land of the southern barbarians", so how can it be compared with the barbarians in the north?To put it bluntly, a civil servant is cheap, and a bitch is hypocritical.On the one hand, they want to restore the glory of the Han Dynasty, and on the other hand, they are afraid that the warriors will steal their limelight.Since even the Khitan people can't beat the Great Wall, it's better not to cause trouble, just muddle along.

It can be said that Lu Chengqi's biggest pressure on the expedition came from the court.

However, Dashun separates the military from the government. If Lu Chengqi wants to use the military, he can directly bypass the civil servants.

Seeing that Lu Chengqi was full of ambition, Xu Jingchun also knew that Lu Chengqi was at the peak of his youth, at the age of integrity and high spirits, and he was the easiest to get ahead, so he was very happy, so he quickly persuaded him: "Your Majesty, this matter must be discussed in a long-term way!"

Lu Chengqi frowned and said: "Why are you also imitating those civil servants, like a little lady, mother-in-law and mother-in-law? Soldiers are precious and fast, since the Khitan people are coming to attack my Dashun, I will let them know how many eyes Prince Ma has! "

Xu Jingchun smiled wryly and said: "I don't dare. I'm just a soldier. It's a major national event, so I have to guard against it."

"That's enough, that's all. I only know that it's better to be prepared. You step back and keep an eye on the Liao Kingdom. If there are spies on Jurchen's side, let's infiltrate them, understand?"

Xu Jingchun nodded and said, "I obey the order!"

"Okay, I'm going to summon the privy envoy and the military staff."

"I respectfully invite Sheng An!"

After Xu Jingchun withdrew, his face was a little gloomy.

"Director Xu, is your majesty alright?"

The servant guarding the Chuigong Hall asked softly.

"It's nothing, Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch and knows how to measure."

"That's fine, that's fine..."

……

Taiyuan Mansion, on Luliang Mountain.

"Brother Fang, what do you mean by that person? We have been silenced for three or four years, and now we are asked to go to Yunnei Prefecture again. Isn't this tormenting people!"

Fang La, who is already 30 years old, lives a hard life on Luliang Mountain, and her face is full of wind and frost.

"I'm afraid that person knows that there are endless horse bandits on the grassland nowadays, so he wants us to share in the action?"

Fang La is a hero after all, and he immediately saw the problem.

"But Yunnei Prefecture already has young and strong people, and there is also a bandit suppression army that is elusive. If we bump into it, people will be turned on their backs!" Wang Shi said lightly. He is already in his 40s. Feeling disheartened and cold, I just want to spend my lower body well on Luliang Mountain.

Fang La said bitterly: "That man's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Recently, he even threatened us. If he doesn't respect the money, he will expose us in front of the dog emperor."

Wang Hu on the side heard this, and sneered, "He is not afraid that we will bite back, and he will cause trouble for himself?"

"Hey, your thinking is too simple. You said that the dog emperor, do you believe him or me? The dog emperor thought we were playing tricks at the first glance. How could he take that person down?" Wang said. He hit Dao mercilessly.

Anger suddenly appeared on Wang Hu's face, but soon disappeared.Now he can't beat Fang La in martial arts, and he doesn't have any resourcefulness, so he can only be a mouse in a bellows, and he is angry at both ends.

Fang La said lightly: "His trick of 'raising the bandits' self-respect' is very effective!"

Wang Shi sneered and said, "If you want others to be unaware, you have to do nothing about it yourself. He raises his own self-esteem, and one day he will lift a rock and drop it on his own foot!"

"But now, we still can't afford to mess with him. But what he wants is money, let's grab some back." Fang La said lightly.

Hearing this, Wang Hu suddenly regained his energy: "Where are you going to grab it?"

"Of course it's Xiazhou, why don't you still want to go to Yunneizhou? You must be impatient!" Wang Shi said coldly.

Fang La nodded, and said: "Xiazhou's private affairs are really prosperous. We need the exact news of that person, otherwise, once the bandit suppression army arrives, there will be no luck for us hundreds of people..."

"Why do you think the dog emperor is so lucky? The flood seven years ago didn't hurt a single hair in the court. The Yellow River breach was too small, let alone; but the big breach four years ago was blocked in time. Is it true that there is a blessing from God?" When Wang Shi said this, Fang La's face turned red. Seven years ago, it was his plan, but he was completely wiped out by the court, and he almost fell into the hands of the court. inside.Fleeing to Luliang Mountain, he colluded with a high official in the court, and only then was he able to save his life.

But since then they have embarked on a road of no return, pretending to be horse bandits, victims of disasters, ordinary people... As long as the person has orders, they can only obey them.It's just so aggrieved to rely on other people's nose to make a living.

If that's the case, it's fine, that person is still greedy, and he has to give money every month, threatening them and exposing them at every turn.

In the past seven years, Fang La, Wang Shi and Wang Hu have been subjected to bird anger.

"You said we made a big fuss, will the imperial court call for peace?"

Wang Hu couldn't bear it, he was about to fade away in such a day, he couldn't stand it anymore.He was originally the adopted son of the Wang family, living a luxurious life, wearing silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry, and eating delicacies from mountains and seas... It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.If it wasn't for saving his life, Wang Hu would have gone down the mountain long ago to enjoy himself.

"Nonsense, if the imperial court recruits security, will that person let us go? Now there is only one way to go, waiting for the opportunity. The weather is so cold this year, and many people must freeze to death. If the snow cannot melt, the crops will not be able to grow If the crops are not viable, there must be victims of the disaster. When we see the right time and make trouble, do we still care about what that person does? Treat him as a fart!"

"Hahahaha... yes, treat him as a fart!"
