The farm life of the group pet Xiaoqi

Chapter 556

General Zhao looked at the barbarian army on the other side of the Liao River camping on the spot. Even if they won, the solemn expression on his face did not ease in any way.

General Zhao knew that with the arrows and crossbow arrows they brought, they couldn't last for a few days, and the barbarian army would cross the river by then, and then they could only fight hand-to-hand.

I hope that the imperial court will send troops and supplies as soon as possible, otherwise, with their [-] frontier troops alone, they don't know how long they will be able to defend.

……

京都
As early as a few days ago, the eight-hundred-mile urgent memorial to the frontier had been sent to Mr. Tongzheng. After receiving the memorial, Mr. Liu, the envoy of Tongzheng, rushed to the palace overnight, but was stopped outside the palace and told The emperor has rested, let him go back.

There was no other way, Mr. Liu, who was so anxious, could only go back to his residence. After finally waiting for the time to go to court, he came to the palace again but was told that he would not go to court today. He was not summoned by the emperor.

It has been like this for several days, so angry and anxious that Mr. Liu, the general secretary, is full of foam. He has not slept for several nights, and at the same time, he is also very disappointed with the current emperor.

When he came to the gate of the palace again, Mr. Liu almost cried with joy when he heard the news that the emperor finally went to court.

After paying homage to the emperor in the court hall, before the eunuchs around the emperor could send a message, Mr. Liu, who couldn't wait, shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, I have something to play." As soon as the words fell, Master Liu stepped out and stood in the middle of the court hall, holding up the memorial in his hand.

"Your Majesty, I have received an urgent military report from the frontier five days ago. The 20 barbarian army has already approached the city. Now the frontier is facing a huge crisis. What is even more urgent is that the frontier is short of soldiers, weapons, food, armor, and medicine. The emperor hastened to send troops to support, if the barbarian army breaks through the frontier and drives straight in, it will be much more difficult to drive them out."

The emperor who was sitting high on the dragon chair was shocked when he heard the words, he already understood what was the matter of Mr. Liu's frequent requests for an audience in the past few days?
What was he doing at that time, as if he was pampering a new beauty, the emperor was embarrassed for a moment, beauty misleads others.

Under the emperor's signal, the father-in-law who stood aside quickly took the memorial that Mr. Liu held high, bowed his head and handed it to the emperor with his hands raised high.

When all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty heard the news, Junjun's expression was horrified, including Grand Master Qin, Prince Qing, Prince Xuan, all the princes and princes who stood in the first place, their expressions changed drastically.

Almost all the ministers in the court turned pale, and almost everyone in the court knew the horror of the barbarians very well.

Almost all the barbarians are brave and warlike, bloodthirsty and blood-drinking, if they invaded, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this moment, all the officials looked at the emperor on the dragon chair solemnly, hoping that the emperor would quickly come up with a decision and send troops to support the frontier. Once the frontier is broken, the barbarian army rushes into the interior of Sang, and they will disperse and want to drive them out. extremely difficult.

After receiving the memorial from his father-in-law, the emperor's face became more and more serious after reading the memorial. If it was as written in the memorial, the situation in the border area was indeed not optimistic.

The emperor also began to get nervous, and suddenly remembered the war decades ago, when he was still the prince, the war lasted for many years before the barbarians were completely subdued and sent back to the border.

The emperor knew very well how terrifying and difficult the barbarians were.

Now that the war was about to start again, the emperor began to panic. Although he didn't like government affairs these years, he also knew the importance of this matter. If the barbarian army came, he might not be able to sit still as an emperor.

In the past, under the command of the God of War, General Wen, the war was finally won, but now that General Wen is very old, and most of his body has been buried in the soil. What can we do with the danger on the frontier?
To be honest, the emperor was very flustered at this time, but fortunately he still held back the panic in his heart, and the emperor looked at all the officials in the court.

"Do you have any good suggestions for this matter?"

Hearing that Meng Dong, Minister of the Ministry of War, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the current plan is to quickly send troops to support the border and defend the defense line of our Sang Kingdom."

"My minister seconded the proposal, this matter should not be delayed, please send troops to support the emperor as soon as possible," Master Shaofu Tong Jing came out and said.

"Subsidiary"

"Subsidiary"

……

"Your Majesty, I would like to lead the troops to solve the crisis in the frontier," Wen Xian, the general who conquered the North, came out and said with firm eyes.

……

The emperor looked at all the civil and military officials of the court, especially General Zhengbei who was asking for the battle, and his expression became a little inexplicable.

Although General Zhengbei had the surname of Wen, he was not from the same family as the Wen family. He could be considered a fierce general, but he was still quite different from the Wen family.

The urgent situation at the frontier is indeed imminent. The emperor looked at the officials with a solemn expression, pondered for a moment and said:
"Where is the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Industry?"

"Chenzai" Cai Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, hurried out.

"Chenzai" Sun Yingliang, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, came out.

"It's limited to two days for the two of you to prepare the supplies and weapons needed for an army of [-]. Two days later, General Wen Xian of Zhengbei and General Zhao Jian of Chariots and Cavalry will each lead [-] soldiers to support the border."

"Minister Zunzhi" Hearing this, the two generals in the court hurriedly came out and said in unison.

"Minister...Zunzhi" The Minister of the Household Department hesitated for a while, but finally did not raise any objections.

At this moment, "Chen, I have something to play." Cai Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, knelt down in the court hall.

The emperor looked at Mr. Cai, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, with displeasure in his eyes, and coldly spat out the word "accurate".

"Your Majesty, I really can't prepare the military supplies and weapons needed by an army of [-] within two days. Over the years, the Ministry of Households has reduced the expenses of the Ministry of Industry every year. In the past two years, the Ministry of Industry has almost no armor to control and no soldiers to fight against." How can the Ministry of Industry manufacture weapons without materials and silver? Now the weapons in storage can only meet the needs of an army of [-].”

Cai Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was sweating nervously, and his eyes were full of fear and powerlessness.

Over the years, because the Ministry of Households has repeatedly cut the expenses of the Ministry of Industry, even though he has played many times but has not received the emperor's attention, he is also very helpless.

"You mean, the Ministry of Industry has no armor or soldiers for the past two years, so how did you become the minister of the Ministry of Industry? Why didn't you report this matter earlier."

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I have played many times, but the memorials have been suppressed, and I am powerless." Master Cai was so frightened that he quickly defended himself and said that he would not recite this blame.

"Mr. Sun Yingliang, Sun, how do you explain this matter?" The emperor stared at the Minister of the Household with his cold eyes.

"Your majesty, I have been wronged by this matter. The matter of reducing the expenses of the Ministry of Industry is... Your majesty... You agreed." Sun Yingliang knelt on the ground and said boldly and tremblingly.

Don't say no, otherwise, if such a big hat is buckled, his black hat will be small, and he is afraid that his family will be implicated.

"Bastard, when did I agree to this?" The emperor instantly became angry from embarrassment, glaring at Sun Yingliang angrily.

The emperor's fury scared Sun Yingliang to the ground, and he didn't dare to say another word.

"Master Sun, I order you to immediately obtain the materials needed by the Ministry of Industry to build weapons. I don't want to hear other excuses. What I want is the result, understand?"

"Yes, I obey the order." Lord Shangshu said tremblingly, wiping away the sweat in his heart.

Fortunately, the iron and other metal mines needed to make weapons belong to the country, and there is no shortage of these materials.

The emperor on the dragon chair glanced at Sun Yingliang, his eyes were slightly cold, but this was not the time to care, and his eyes turned to Master Cai who was kneeling on the ground again.

"Lord Cai, I order you to sort out the existing weapons and equipment immediately and set off with the army, and then rush to build weapons and transport them to the border in batches."

"Chen Zunzhi" Master Cai knelt down and shouted, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

No matter what, this test is over, and my life is saved.

As long as there are materials, weapons and so on are not a problem at all.

There are a lot of masters in the weapons workshop, and they have been almost idle for the past two years. Even if they are not enough, they can be urgently deployed from various provinces. They work in two shifts every day and night, and a batch of weapons can be manufactured soon.
