Hu Hai actually didn't care much about who or what tribe attacked Bijia City this time. What he cared about was the casualties of the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army in Bijia City and the impact this incident would have on Great Qin's future strategy.
"Old minister, please lead the army to the west to enhance the prestige of our great Qin Dynasty! Please grant your permission!"
Now that they knew about the possible attacker, all the ministers immediately became excited. So Feng Quji, who was the auxiliary minister of the cabinet, took the lead to stand up.
Today, the Qin Dynasty is not even a little bit stronger than when the First Emperor was the First Emperor more than ten years ago, both in terms of military strength and strength. Of course, the massive wealth left by the First Emperor is also one of the aspects.
However, compared with when the First Emperor was in power, the biggest change in Da Qin today is the stability of the country. At least the survivors of the Six Kingdoms are rarely seen anymore, and the recognition of Da Qin among the people who originally belonged to the Six Kingdoms is also rapidly increasing. What's more,
The important thing is that the reputation of Emperor Hu Hai is not even the slightest bit different from that of Emperor Shi.
When the First Emperor was in power and the Qin Dynasty had just unified the six kingdoms and was not yet stable, he dared to dispatch hundreds of thousands of troops to drive the Xiongnu northward in the face of the aggressive Huns, let alone now. What's more, the second emperor today has no plans to expand the territory.
The Qin Dynasty was far more interested in earth affairs than the First Emperor. This was a fact recognized by everyone in the Qin Dynasty.
Haven't you seen that in less than four years after taking the throne, seven new counties have been established one after another, directly expanding the territory of Great Qin by almost one-third.
Therefore, as soon as Feng Quji said his words, most of the dozen or so important ministers who controlled the central power of the Qin Dynasty expressed their approval. Of course, what they approved was only for the imperial court to send troops to punish those small countries in the Western Regions that did not know the heights of the sky, not for Feng Quji to personally
Lead troops to the Western Regions.
As a matter of fact and reason, it is not the turn of Mr. Feng Quji, who is elderly and is also the Assistant Minister of the Cabinet, to lead the army.
Wei Liao, Ying Teng, Li You, and Dun Ruo, the four auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, as well as a few ministers and ministers such as Meng Yi, Zhang Cang, Tian Ren, Su Mo, and Fan Jian, did not speak.
Most of them are still trying to figure out Hu Hai's attitude.
Everyone knows that compared to the powerful First Emperor, this young second emperor has not only controlled the Qin Dynasty more than the First Emperor through light reforms, exchanges and reforms, but he has also become far more powerful.
The First Emperor.
All the affairs of the Qin Dynasty, big and small, were actually just a matter of thoughts of the young emperor above the main hall.
However, although the young emperor was more powerful than the First Emperor, he was also much more open-minded than the First Emperor in terms of listening to the advice of his courtiers. The most important thing was the second emperor's attitude towards power, which seemed to be two extremes with the First Emperor.
The establishment of the Cabinet Office and the initial administration of Lee Si proved this point from the side.
After hearing Feng Quji's words, Hu Hai smiled and said nothing.
"Your Majesty, if the countries in the Western Region are really as big as the one county of our Great Qin as stated in the Longwei Mansion's letter, then even the coalition of the countries will definitely not be able to withstand a single blow from our elite soldiers of the Great Qin. There are currently fifty-nine elite soldiers of the original army stationed in Hexi.
There is no need for Mr. Feng to personally lead the army to deal with such a small country. Moreover, Hexi is far away from the Qin Dynasty. If a large army is dispatched, it will cost a lot of supplies and equipment for thousands of miles. How can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife? The veteran thinks that for this plan, Hexi County will be killed.
Wei Sujiao led the 59,000 Yuan army to march westward, which made our Qin Dynasty more majestic."
This time it was Wei Liao who spoke. As the only remaining military master in the Qin Dynasty, he obviously had a much more comprehensive consideration than Feng Quji.
"Old minister seconded the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
…
After Wei Liao finished speaking, Ying Teng, Dun Rui, Su Mo, Fan Jian and others all spoke in support of the proposal.
"Zhang Aiqing, how much are the treasury stores in various places in the Qin Dynasty now?" When Hu Hai heard Wei Liao's words, he nodded without saying anything, but looked at Zhang Cang, the Minister of Household Affairs in the main hall.
"Back to Your Majesty, except for the Bashang Cang, Yueyang Cang, Xianyang Cang, and Chenliucang in Dang County, the four warehouses in Neishi County only store 10% of the grain; the Chengdu warehouse in Shu County still has 30% of the grain remaining; and the rest of the seven Cangs are all stored in
More than 80%. A new warehouse has been added to store millions of grains."
Zhang Cang heard Hu Hai's question and hurriedly stood up and bowed to answer.
As the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, the twelve major official warehouses, Shangfang treasury, Shaofu treasury and the warehouses of various counties and counties in the Qin Dynasty were all under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Hubu, and were supervised and managed by the Ministry of Hubu.
"Tian Aiqing, how is the ordnance reserve in Shangfang's treasury?" Hu Hai nodded and looked at Tian Ren, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry.
"Back to your majesty, in accordance with your majesty's edict, all kinds of powerful crossbows, crossbow arrows, crossbow machines, armors, and weapons in Shangfang's treasury have been stepped up to supervise the production. Now the newly made weapons in Shangfang's treasury can supply our Great Qin Dynasty.
One hundred thousand troops are needed for a year."
As the left minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Prime Minister of Shangfang, Tian Ren also knows everything about Shangfang.
Because no one knows when the emperor will suddenly ask about his duties.
"Meng Ai Qing, are all the officials in each county ready now?"
"Back to Your Majesty, in addition to the officials of the newly established seven counties who are now on their way to the seven counties, in front of everyone, three months ago, all the forty-six counties in the original Qin Dynasty, from the county guards to the village chiefs, were ready."
"Cabinet Office, where are the 300,000 people who moved north? Have the supplies kept up?"
"Your Majesty, the 300,000 people who moved north, escorted by 90,000 tiger and benign troops, crossed the border of Guangyang yesterday. Along the way, the governors of all the counties and counties along the way north followed the imperial edict and worked hard to prepare supplies."
"Zhang Aiqing, how about recruiting soldiers from the forty-six counties?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the soldiers from the forty-six counties have been recruited and are now being sent to six camps under the leadership of officials from the Ministry of War. Thousands of tiger soldiers from the Blue Sky Camp have already left the customs in advance and rushed to each camp."
"Well!" Hu Hai nodded, stood up and took two steps. He suddenly turned around and stared at His Highness's ministers with burning eyes and said: "I will give the cabinet and the six ministries one month. Within one month, no matter whether it is the people who are going north,
It is better to assign them to the Tigers and Ben Army instructors who must rush to each county."
"I obey the order!"
His Highness and all the ministers responded in unison.
"In this month, the cabinet and the six ministries still have several things to do. The construction of Handan Iron Yard and Yantai Shipyard must not be delayed. All ministries must ensure that the Handan Iron Yard and Yantai Shipyard proceed smoothly. This is one of them.
Secondly, I sent an order to the two counties of Bashu to recruit laborers to transport grain and grass from the Chengdu warehouse to Gohan. I want the Gohan warehouse to store enough grain for the 200,000-strong army for three years.
Third, the Ministry of War made preparations and mobilized the Weng Zhong Xuanwu Army that was originally guarding Chen County to enter the pass; the 30,000 Suzaku Army stationed in various counties in Nanyang moved south to Chen County and Dang County, stationed in Hanoi and Hedong, and the 30,000 Suzaku Army stationed in the front line
Go north to the front line of Julu, Handan, and cooperate with the 50,000 Xuanwu troops originally stationed around the Handan iron yard to guard the construction of the iron yard and the 150,000 Jiangdong soldiers were sent down.
Fourth, Ba Shang camped the White Tiger Army and ordered Du Teng to pass on the order. The army will set off in one month and march westward!"
Hu Hai's loud words echoed loudly in the main hall of the political hall! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
