Chapter 1163 War is approaching(1/2)

"How many people do you think your Majesty can kill this time when he goes to the northwest?"

Fei Tian said: "Let's change the betting method this time. How about betting on the number of people? The odds can be higher. Let's set a limit of 100 people. If I bet on more than 100 people, what do you want to bet on?"

His question broke the silence in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Xue Qing was about to speak, but lowered his head.

Can't gamble anymore.

Losing a few dollars was a trivial matter, mainly because he didn't want to see Fei Tian's proud face.

The Minister of Rites subconsciously touched his money bag.

If you gamble with chop hands again, you must never gamble again.

He also lowered his head.

Everyone reacted but none of them paid any attention to Fei Tian.

Previously, a team of royal guards were urgently transferred from Shangjing. They knew that His Majesty was going to go on a killing spree.

Moreover, the affairs of the inn have been handed over to Jin Yiwei, who are currently investigating.

"Whether I bet or not, let me know."

Fei Tian asked again.

Gong Liangyu raised his head and said, "Are you free and have nothing to do?"

"Wenyuan Pavilion is strictly prohibited from opening trading in the future!"

"Second!"

"Second!"

"Second!"

At this time, there was a reaction, and everyone responded one after another.

Apparently Fei Tian always opened the market for betting, which caused public outrage.

"It's boring."

Fei Tian sat down dejectedly.

It seems that I can’t always win in the future, I have to lose a few times, otherwise no one will bet with me.

Fei Tian muttered.

"His Majesty was very angry when he went out to investigate the chaos at the post station this time. The post manager Wang Zhen will definitely be implicated and investigated. We need to renegotiate a candidate."

Gong Liangyu opened his mouth and turned the topic to business.

During this inspection, it was discovered that many public stations were used for private purposes, and some officials took advantage of them for their own benefit.

Minyi was originally designed to facilitate people's livelihood, but it has become a special post for some people.

The problem is serious.

The general postmaster Wang Zhensheng has been dismissed from his post and investigated.

Now they must seize the time to rectify it and have a result before His Majesty returns to Beijing.

"Fortunately, there was no problem with the military post, otherwise His Majesty would have been even more furious!"

Zhou Ruiyuan, the censor of Zuodu, spoke.

The incident at the inn and the incident of embezzlement and reselling of relief grains in the northwest caused His Majesty's surprise.

This also made him, the chief censor, very passive.

The imperial censor supervises hundreds of officials, and now he has failed in his duties.

"The military post is under the direct management of Tiance Mansion. The war is coming, how can there be any problems with the post."

Fei Tian said: "It is better to integrate the public post into the Ministry of War and the civilian post into the Ministry of Household, and manage them separately."

"Can."

Gong Liangyu wrote it down in his notes.

"I can send you an invitation when Your Majesty returns to Beijing."

Wenyuan Pavilion is the core center of Daning. When they discuss politics, they discuss more solutions to share His Majesty's worries.

However, these are not trivial matters and require His Majesty's decree.

At this time Matsunaga Nian also raised his head.

"Recently, rumors have spread among the public, saying that the Wei and Liang Kingdoms will jointly attack Daning in the next year, causing some unrest."

Everyone's expressions became more solemn.

This is no small matter.

Daning has become stronger and stronger in recent years, but as it is dealing with the war between the two countries at the same time, the people will naturally be a little uneasy.

"There is also a rumor in the court."

Cao Ruiyuan also agreed: "Officials also have private discussions."

Originally, this matter had not spread. When Guan Ning received the letter of challenge from Emperor Wu of Liang, Zhu Wen, only the cabinet ministers knew about it and made preparations in advance.

But now it has spread.

"Can the source be found?"

"It should be that the two kingdoms of Wei and Liang sent people to release him in order to disturb the people of our country."

"You must pay special attention to this matter and do not let anyone take advantage of it."

Everyone nodded.

"I have another piece of information here, which came from Huizhou."

Several people focused their attention on Fei Tian.

When the information from Huizhou reaches the Ministry of War, it proves that it was sent by the Skeleton Fleet.

"Everyone, our war with Wei has begun!"

Fei Tian looked solemn.

"Recently, a pirate called the Bone Fleet has appeared in the southeastern waters. They have repeatedly attacked, harassed, and even besieged the Skeleton Fleet. According to Sun Pusheng's report, this Bone Fleet is actually the navy of the Great Wei Dynasty..."

"Wei Guo is so shameless!"

Song Yongnian said: "Why do you imitate Daning in everything?"

"We created a fleet of skeletons, and they created a fleet of bones. What a terrible name."

“It’s already tacitly understood by now.”

Fei Tian said: "Wei obviously wants to destroy our Daning Navy before the war begins."

"How's the battle going?"

Gong Liangyu asked.

This is what they care about.

"Everyone has his own victory or defeat."

"Um?"

Gong Liangyu frowned.

"I have equipped the navy with artillery, how can we win or lose?"

"The State of Wei dispatched the Dengyunlou ship!"

"Deng Yunlou Ship?"

Upon hearing this, several people's expressions became more solemn.

Due to its geographical location, the Wei State was the first country to establish a navy. Because it was close to the sea, the navy had a large scale and many skilled craftsmen, and it was at the forefront of building warships.

The most powerful one is the Dengyun Tower Boat!

This ship was extremely large and had an extremely high hull, so it was named the Dengyun Warship.

The warships are equipped with giant crossbows, trebuchets and other attack weapons, and are known as the overlords of the sea.

The Daning Navy was established in the past few years. Shipbuilding takes time, and building large warships is a complicated process and takes a long time.

Although there are skeleton fleets out to rob, there are still no large warships like the Dengyunlou Ship.

"It would be great if we could grab a Dengyunlou ship. If we could install multiple artillery pieces, we would be a true maritime hegemon."

Everyone nodded.

As the saying goes, a good horse deserves a good saddle.

Although Daning has powerful weapons such as artillery, it suffers from the lack of large warships.
