"Uncle, what are we using to make so much alcohol in our factory?" A young man asked in confusion in the winery.
Next to the young man, an old man, who was about fifty years old, made a strong knot of hemp rope tied to the goods, and then explained: "This batch of goods is to be sent to Zangjian Villa. Zangjian Villa ordered a large amount of alcohol from our boss! But it is better to be sent to Zangjian Villa for use than to send them to Zangjian Villa."
"Jin Army?" The young man looked confused.
The old man patted his shoulder and said, "You tell me to go out more often if you have nothing to do, but you can stay in the house to sleep whenever you have time! Now Dajin and Daliang are about to fight, so you won't know yet, right?"
The guy nodded embarrassedly, he really didn't know.
The two continued to work.
Logically speaking, under normal circumstances, the army will not purchase any materials from the people. Each local army has its own exclusive production factory! It is not only difficult to control the quality of the people, but also kills many people if something goes wrong...
Even if there are any special circumstances in the army that we need to collect materials from the people, then the Jin army should collect materials from the Three Jins, Guanzhong and other places. How could we collect materials from Nanzhou?
The old man thought so in his heart.
In fact, those who are more active have already seen the problem.
The main place of material abundant in the Great Jin State is Zhongzhou and Jiangnan. Although there are many military factories in the Sanjin and Guanzhong, are these two places also under pressure from the Turks in the north and the Tubo in the west? Therefore, the resources that the Sanjin and Guanzhong can draw out are not many!
As for Jiangnan? Because it is already winter, the weather is cold and the land is frozen, and the journey is long, it is really inconvenient to transport it! Therefore, it is not realistic to transfer supplies from Jiangnan.
Although the remaining Zhongzhou can provide some supplies here, Zhongzhou also needs to be on guard against Qingzhou, Jizhou and other places in the east, so the amount of materials that can be transported is not large.
Even old workers in a brewery can think of something that others cannot imagine.
At this moment, a group of civil servants and generals in Yunjing, Liangzhou, Daliang Kingdom, were discussing the war fiercely.
"Report to Your Highness, the old minister, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, Meng Biao, can lead the Mo army to Bashu to resist the enemy!" An old minister stepped out and said to the young man sitting on the right side of the dragon chaise at the top of the treasure hall.
Because Emperor Liang had been ill in bed for a long time, there was no one on the dragon chaise. On a chair placed on the right side of the dragon chaise was the current prince of Daliang.
The prince was only in his early teens, so how could he understand politics? At this moment, he was just sitting obediently on a chair, listening to the quarrels of civil and military officials in the court. The main person was Yu Zhengqing, the chief assistant who was standing under the prince.
"Transfer the Mo army to Bashu to attack the Jin army? What should I do if the Tubo people in the west suddenly come over?" someone retorted.
Everyone looked in the voice and said that this person was Zheng Yuan, one of the cabinet masters of the cabinet! He was also the youngest cabinet master in the entire Daliang Kingdom. He entered the cabinet at the age of fifty-five!
There are five people in the cabinet today, namely the Chief Supervisor Yu Zhengqing, the Grand Secretary Fukugawa, the Grand Secretary Meng Liangping, the Grand Secretary Zhang Kang, and the Grand Secretary Zheng Yuan!
"What about Master Zheng's intention?" someone asked.
Zheng Yuan looked at the palace and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince! In the eyes of the old minister, the Mo army guards the western border and should not act without any action! Moreover, now in the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, the Jin thieves will definitely not dare to start a war in the extreme cold of wind and snow. Even if they want to fight, they will have to wait until the beginning of spring of the next year as soon as possible! Therefore, we still have a few months to prepare for the war!"
The two things Zheng Yuan said were not related, but the next moment, he suddenly changed his mind and continued: "There are Tubos in the western part of Daliang who are eyeing each other. The Mo army is naturally not allowed to move, otherwise it will affect our border comfort in Daliang! Although the Mo army cannot move, the deserted army stationed in Qianzhou can move! In the eyes of an old minister, Wen Yonghong, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, can lead 100,000 troops to Bashu to increase troops to resist the enemy!"
Hearing this, some people suddenly understood something in their hearts.
In addition to local troops, the Daliang Kingdom also has two major border troops, namely the Mo Army and the Waste Army.
The Mo Army is stationed in the western part of Daliang for many years and guards against Tubo's invasions. There are occasionally some minor frictions between the two sides, so the Mo Army will report some military achievements from time to time.
The role of the deserted army is mainly to guard against the direction of Nanzhou.
But the reality is... Nanzhou itself is in chaos, so how can there be time to make other people's ideas? Therefore, for so long, the deserted army has been doing nothing...
But... the position of Minister of War has been hanging for a long time now! Wen Yonghong, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, the general leader of the desert army, and Meng Biao, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, the general leader of the desert army, naturally had the idea of ​​fighting for this position...
Although Wen Yonghong, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, is half a level higher than Meng Biao, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, the desert army has never had anything to do! However, the Mo Army reported military merits every few days! Although it was just a few insignificant military merits, over time, the amount of money was recorded!
Wen Yonghong is Zheng Yuan’s son-in-law, so Zheng Yuan will naturally find opportunities to strive for his son-in-law to make contributions.
In fact, many people know that the Great Jin State is now fighting against the Turks in the north, and in the east and west, we must be wary of the Great Qing State and the Tubo, so we absolutely have no strength to open the war with Daliang a few months later!
In other words, as long as Wen Yonghong brings 100,000 deserted troops, and the 80,000 officers and soldiers stationed in Bashu themselves, as long as the Jin thieves cannot hold on and retreat, it will be a great achievement!
Even if it is impossible to be promoted to the position of Minister of War immediately, it can still be used to keep Meng Biao away from him with this contribution!
"Although the Mo Army cannot move rashly, it is not impossible to move..." someone said.
But Zheng Yuan immediately retorted: "Draging the Mo Army away, are you ignoring the safety of the west side of Daliang?"
"I didn't say that!" The man shook his head immediately. Now that the war is about to break out, he can't handle this hat during this sensitive period...
"Please ask Your Highness the Crown Prince to decide!" Zheng Yuan bowed loudly. But he looked up slightly and looked at the chief minister Yu Zhengqing who was located below the Crown Prince.
"This matter needs to be discussed again..." Yu Zhengqing pondered.
