Chapter 265 The subtleties of raising an army
King Rui did not know that Xiao Lingyao had a half-faced flying dragon talisman in his hand. Qin Feng and Xiao Lingyao looked at each other and decided not to tell the emperor's uncle the secret. Qin Feng said: "Those who hold military power have been prone to ambitions since ancient times, but these officers and soldiers have always been maintained by the court."
If the imperial court did not allocate funds, so many soldiers would not even wear winter clothes at the moment. Although Zhenbei Hou wanted to rebel, he would also measure whether he had the ability to support so many soldiers!
King Rui was quite surprised. Unexpectedly, Qin Feng saw through the key points at a glance. He touched his head and said, "You can't say that this raising an army is not a trivial matter. Just Zhenbei Army, with strong soldiers and strong horses, can guard the border well, but it's also awesome to Zhenbei Marquis' courage."
"So the silver allocated there over the years has been carefully calculated by the emperor's brother. If there is too much, it will not work, it will not work if there is too little. If there is too little, it will be worrying that those soldiers are dissatisfied with the court. If there is too much, will it cause evil intentions?"
Qin Feng was also worried when he heard this. He glanced at Xiao Lingyao who intended to raise a private army and sighed: "It is said that raising a army for a thousand days is used for a while, but the word raising involves many things, which is really difficult."
I think during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao, a generation of heroes, had more troops than Wu and Wei. In the past, they were still agricultural society, and the people lived in difficult times. They were in troubled times, and the country was not strong.
In order to support the army, Cao Cao actually appointed the magistrate to mojin and used to rob the tomb to raise military expenses to support his troops. There was no way, and the tax was insufficient, so the tomb robbers came to collect.
In ancient times, it was a big deal to pay attention to filial piety and brotherhood, and dig up the tombs of our ancestors. However, in order to support the army, Cao Cao was desperate and could only take this path under the advice of his advisers. The first thing that was suffering was the tomb of the royal family of the Han Dynasty.
Although this method is not very correct, Cao Cao relied on this method to support hundreds of thousands of troops. Although other heroes in troubled times did not make up for their ancestors, they would also plunder and rob the city after siege, and all the plundered property and food were used to support the army.
Xiao Lingyao listened to the two of them talking about the military affairs, but she looked haggard and did not speak. However, Qin Feng had already noticed that she was very impressed. Her slender and white fingers were gently tapping on the chair handle from time to time, and she must have thoughts in her heart.
The Yuan family has not yet reached the exile place. If the exiled former navy soldiers are successfully rescued, the resettlement will become a big problem. Where to place them, what identity is given to escape the pursuit, and how to deal with it in the future?
When Xiao Lingyao noticed Qin Feng's Yu Guang, he cheered up and suddenly stood up and said, "Uncle Emperor, Yao'er is not in good health. You need to go and rest first. Let the prince consort greet you."
King Rui realized that she had a bad face and hurriedly asked her to rest. He said, "What's wrong with her? Her complexion is a bit bad. Could it be that she is pregnant?"
Qin Feng was drinking tea and almost choked on himself. He quickly put down the teacup and said, "Uncle Emperor misunderstood. Maybe he had spent too much energy in Kunning Palace today. After leaving the palace, he had a high fever. We just came back from the clinic. Her highness had just receded, so she couldn't help but lose her strength."
"Hey, I thought I was going to be the emperor's grandfather." Rui Wang Bai was happy and said with a smile: "But according to your two of you, good things must soon spread. My emperor's prince has never been a grandfather."
This topic made Qin Feng embarrassed, I was afraid that he would say so many things, but he just smiled implicitly and didn't dare to talk deeply.
"Uncle Emperor is joking, Yao'er is thin-skinned. Don't say this in front of her. The one who is unlucky is still the nephew." Qin Feng said: "This time the incident was so big that the Eastern Palace was abandoned and vacant. I think it's the Marquis of Zhenbei who also needs to know the news."
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
The roasted pigeon is indeed delicious. Qin Feng accidentally thought a little bit, but he actually made saliva from his mouth. After swallowing his saliva, he said, "It's obvious that this time I can't hide it."
"The emperor's brother didn't think about hiding it. Isn't this a time to crack down?" King Rui groaned and said, "If it weren't for your nephew and son-in-law, the prince of Zhenbei, would have entered the city. My prince would definitely not do anything about personnel."
Qin Feng knew that if he hadn't been involved, the queen would have found a way to ask Xiao Lingyao to recruit the prince of the Beihou as her son-in-law.
Fortunately, Xiao Lingyao found a good way for him, but Emperor Yuan did not want to take advantage of Zhenbei Hou. He would definitely agree to his daughter's request, which made the Queen and Zhenbei Hou's plan fail. In this way, he had a grudge against Zhenbei Hou. Who made him ruin his affairs?
"Don't worry, my nephew, son-in-law, although the prince was deposed, the Zhenbei Hou would not act at this time. The whole country was paying attention to the Spring Examination. If he acted rashly and defeated the court order, and forced thousands of students to miss the Spring Examination, how could he win the hearts of the people?"
King Rui spread his fan with great confidence, and with a loud bang, four big words were written on the fan - it was rare to be confused!
I don’t know if this Prince Rui knows that Mr. Zheng Banqiao, but these four words are indeed suitable for him.
"So, even if Zhenbeihou received the news, he had to put it aside even if he had a lot of thoughts. Moreover, the winter in Beiguan is very difficult. He had to think about how to get some military supplies for winter, and he was busy."
The implication is that the matter of Kunning Palace today, Zhenbei Hou could not control the matter, and his hand could not reach Sui City. Qin Feng and Xiao Lingyao don’t have to worry about the news that the news would enter Beiguan, so what would happen to Zhenbei Hou.
"Thank you, the emperor's advice. I am relieved too much. I am not at ease. I am afraid that your highness will be implicated. After all, it is a big deal." Qin Feng said: "If possible, I don't worry about your highness in everything. Just follow me to enjoy it."
Prince Rui suddenly silenced, sighed inexplicably, and his eyes looked at Qin Feng became more complicated: "Where in the royal family, how can you be so clean and honest? You can avoid things in the future. This time, the former prince suffered a loss, the queen was imprisoned, and there were no spies in the princess's house."
It is said that listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. This conversation with Prince Rui has allowed Qin Feng to have a lot of information, and he has more considerations about what is about to happen. He feels a little more grateful to this so-called idle prince.
But he could also subtly feel that this King Rui seemed to be away from the court and was only in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but he knew a lot of information, and it was obvious that he was one of the few people who could really get close to Emperor Yuan.
He had heard Xiao Lingyao mention that the Flying Dragon Army was an imperial guard directly under the jurisdiction of Emperor Yuan. The Flying Dragon Army was known to be blocking the pigeons, which shows how favored King Rui was.
