Chapter 484

In the face of the defeat of western Xinjiang, which is a matter of stability and stability, the death of Jin family, the discord between Jiang Ya's father and son, the secret fight between the queen and the imperial concubine All are floating clouds!

"Then why don't you pay for the repair?" Vernon Jiang asked again impatiently.

He used to be one of Yi Taizhang's subordinates, but now he's only at the same level with Yi Taizhang. His tone in public is so strong that it's almost like the superior scolds the subordinate. Yi Taizhang's eyebrows are not happy. Just worried about the power of the Jiang family, he said lightly: "because these two gates are almost empty, it's not a small number to repair them. At that time, although the State Treasury was not very tight, the northern Xinjiang was already in the war. In case of emergency, this expenditure was temporarily put down - this is what I discussed with Xue, and then reported to the Duke of Qin, who also agreed! "

It's said that it's a practice approved by the Duke of Qin. Vernon Jiang just gave up, but his brow is still locked.

"How much grain can the State Treasury allocate to the Western army to make up for the needs of the northern army and other places?" When the Empress Dowager Jiang heard this, she frowned.

Only Xue Chang can answer this question: "it's just the beginning of the new year, and it's still early for the autumn harvest. It can only be used for two months at most! The rest must be raised from local warehouses! "

"Two months?" Empress Dowager Jiang's face is not very good-looking. It's just the beginning of February, and it's April two months later. I'm afraid that even if we count the time when the grain and grass are sent to the west, we won't be able to make up for the autumn harvest! What's more, when autumn harvest comes, it doesn't mean that it will soon become the food and grass of the Western army. After all, it will be harvested, collected, transported to Beijing, put into storage, and transferred when it's over

"How much can the local treasury raise? What about the time? "

Xue Chang's answer is still not very optimistic. It's mainly a question of time. Although the distance between Beijing and Shazhou is far away, the good thing is that the grain and grass in the Treasury are ready-made. Yizhi can start to mobilize and arrange the operation immediately. But the local treasury is in trouble. For the sake of the court, they dare not refuse to give, but it is hard to say if they give more than if they give less.

Moreover, it's impossible for every local treasury to send people directly to Shazhou. Xue Chang's consideration is the second one. What he worries about most is that under the current political environment of Darui, such suddenly inserted grain collection will surely bring a catastrophe to the people at the bottom: "the imperial court will march on the first one, and then it will be sent to the people at the bottom, so that the emergency measures will become harsh How can politics not lose the hearts of the people?! Although the defeat of the western Xinjiang war and the loss of the Western army's supplies are also related to the foundation of the country, it seems that at present it is only a corner of gains and losses. Once the common people are disturbed by this, it is related to the stability of the state! "

"Especially, when spring ploughing is coming, I'm afraid to disturb the residents at this time..."

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Jiang frowned deeply. She knew the virtue of her family's party feathers. She knew Xue Chang's worry was not groundless!

…… It can't be said that Jiangjia party is all corrupt officials, mainly because the current political situation is that as long as we rely on Jiangjia, some people will talk if they violate the national law. Holding the power and losing the restriction, how can greed not flourish? Of course, some people can hold on to it - but most of them can't!

"If spring ploughing is not good, autumn harvest will be affected! When the time comes, it will be even worse. Even the northern army will be affected! " Xue Chang still hasn't finished saying, "so I suggest, can we make peace in the West or the north?"

Hearing this, he was really depressed. Yi Taizhang, who had just helped him prove it, said: "although Xue Xiang's remarks are based on the difficulty of food and grass, they are too much, aren't they? Say nothing else, say West Man and North Hu, which side is not greedy generation?! In particular, the defeat of the Western army of the town, the West man is as powerful as a rainbow, although the North Hu even defeated, I know that this news will certainly be the heart of life! Let's go and make peace with each other on this segment of the eye. Is it not because we have been caught in a snare, that they have opened their mouths to the lion? "

"This defeat of Zhenxi army was due to the destruction of the baggage by the spy. Things were too abrupt and the whole army was unprepared!" Xue Chang said calmly, "it's not a real defeat! As long as the grain and grass are connected and the military mind is stable, it is not difficult to counter attack! At that time, the spirit of the West will be frustrated. At least if the North Xinjiang proposes a peace talk, we will not be able to take a big loss! "

Originally, Northern Xinjiang has been in the downwind, but Jiang Tianchi wanted to accomplish all the work in one stroke, but he was not willing to lose too much, so it took a lot of time to adopt the strategy of steady fighting, steady driving and slowly pushing forward. The past two years in Beihu can be said to be unbearable. If they can make peace talks, they would like to -- Darui's defeat in Xijiang can really bring them the hope of lion's big talk, but as Xue Chang said, if the town and West army fight a beautiful counterattack, Beihu's hope will be broken, and they will talk about it well.

Vernon Jiang's face was gloomy: "Zhenbei Bo inherited the ambition of his ancestors and planned for many years to have today's situation. Did he fail in this way?"

It was the plan of the Duke of Qin to kill Beihu completely, and then the Duke of Jibei - now the Duke of Qin is still in his bed, but the Duke of Jibei has already taken the first step, and there is no more Ningjing in Northern Xinjiang.

Jiang Tianchi took the chance of his uncle's death to take advantage of Beihu. If he missed the chance of eradicating Beihu completely by paying the bill for Xijiang, he would never have the chance again. No wonder Jiang Tianqi could not accept it.Moreover, Vernon Jiang keenly realized: "Xue Chang's words are so pleasant that he is clearly explaining for qiujinglan's children!"

Listen to what he's saying!

What "four years ago Ruan Qingyan wrote to repair the two passes", what "the defeat was due to the destruction of the supplies to the spy", what "was not a real defeat", what "it was not difficult to counter attack" Finally, the transition to peace talks is not to imply that the defeat of the Western Town army can't be attributed to them, but to the cunning of the spy. Moreover, if Xue Chang's suggestion is adopted, the Western Town army is really sharp in counter attack. Jiang Tianqi guarantees that Xue Chang will definitely hold on to this point afterwards: "there was defeat in the past, but it's Dai sinligong who fought back later!"

Vernon Jiang doesn't want qiujinglan to pass the test so well!

"In a word, we should first transfer the grain and grass that can be allocated to the Western army of the town to Shazhou, and order them to hold the luofengguan pass in any case!" As I have said before, Empress Dowager Jiang's political ability is such a matter, so it's hard to make a decision. She has so many years of experience being pushed in front of the stage, and she also has a clear priority. "Never let western barbarians enter Xiangzhou!"

The Ministry of household and the Ministry of military are going to do this together. Since the predicament of the West army without rice in the pot has been dealt with, then we will start to discuss and investigate the responsibility!
