Expanding the seats in the Joint Reserve Board can better bind upstarts or aristocratic families who want to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side on the chariot of the Han Dynasty.
For big families, suppressing one and winning over others is the way to disintegrate them.
At the same time, this move can also allocate materials from various places faster and more efficiently.
Stabilize the prices of bulk materials in various places.
For example, this time, if the number of seats in Bingzhou, Hedong and other places in Guanzhong is increased.
Just notify the elected representatives from various places, ask them to prepare money and food, go to reinforce the party's army, and eat all the way.
The imperial court did not need to spend additional time raising money and food, and even had to collect and transport the food and grass to Chang'an first.
The most the court has to do is to make some preliminary preparations and send out supervisors.
Well, the Reserve Bureau, in its earliest days, wasn't it just to reserve materials and ensure the supply of materials for the Han Dynasty?
To be honest, in Jiang Wan's opinion, all kinds of bulk materials that are special products of the Han Dynasty are being dumped all over the world, and the reserve bureau is at its peak.
It's the right time to take advantage of this trend and sell your seats at a big price.
Not to mention that the expansion of seats will also be beneficial to Ji Han's unification of the world.
If you don’t sell it now, do you still want to wait until the world is unified before selling it?
When that time comes, I'm afraid it will be Xinghan's turn and he won't be willing to sell it.
After all, with the strength of the Xinghan Hui, where will the world be able to go by then?
As a royal, she still cares about the little benefits of the palace. It is simply a short-sighted act of a woman!
But for Adou, who is used to living a hard life, saying that a woman is not a woman, and that she is short-sighted or not is a slander!
Do you know how I got here all these years?
Needless to say, in the few years after the death of the late emperor, the palace was almost in ruins.
Finally, my brother-in-law found a way to send a lot of income to the palace, and life became easier.
It had only been two years since the good days. I don't know what I was thinking at that time, but I suddenly wanted to rebuild the North and South armies.
Who would have expected that before the Northern and Southern armies were completed, the palace would have been emptied out, back when the late emperor passed away.
It was not until the Han Dynasty reformed its military system in the past few years that most of the burden was thrown away.
I never thought that the palace had only been rich for another two years, and no, someone wanted to deduct the income again!
I can't live this day!
If you don’t want the emperor to live a good life, then what does it mean for me, the lord of the world, to do that?
Adou trembled his lips and asked with great pain:
"Well, apart from this method, does Mr. Jiang have any other methods?"
"For example, bringing food from Shu to Beijing..."
Jiang Shangshu Ling, who had always been magnanimous and magnanimous, immediately felt heartbroken when he saw Adou's appearance, almost becoming stern:
"The military situation is on fire, Your Majesty!"
When the food from Shu arrives, even Taiyuan Hedong will be in a hurry.
When Adou saw Mr. Jiang's appearance, he looked at everyone present and all looked down in silence.
Even Dong Yun, who had left the palace, did not speak.
This situation made Adou suddenly feel guilty.
After all, the words of my father-in-law warning me not to be too extravagant are still in my ears.
Besides, military and national affairs cannot be delayed.
None of these important ministers support me. Could it be that this is really something I did wrong?
"Oh, okay, okay, then according to Jiang Gong's words, I will agree to the expansion of seats."
"Then please your Majesty to issue an order immediately, and I can ask them to prepare money and food immediately. In this way, the army's logistics will be worry-free."
"this……"
Adou originally wanted to go back to the palace to discuss it with the queen, but when he saw Jiang Wan, he would not give up without agreeing on the spot.
He could only say with a grimace, "Okay, Shizhong Dong, please write for me."
After solving the problem of food and grass, Adou couldn't wait to look at General Zhendong, as if he was afraid that Jiang Wan would make other demands:
"General Zhendong, in your opinion, how should we deal with this large army rescuing the Shangdang?"
Since the emperor moved the capital to Chang'an, military restructuring has been going on.
The Chinese army stationed in Guanzhong has a nominal total of eight armies.
Among them, the Northern and Southern armies were lightly armored cavalry. The horses should wear leather armor depending on the situation, and the men should wear iron armor depending on the situation.
It is a multi-role cavalry that is responsible for mounted archery, guerrilla warfare, pursuit, intercepting enemy food routes, covering armored cavalry charging into formation, etc.
The Tiger Cavalry Army is the heavy armored cavalry that rushes into battle.
This is called the Three Cavalry of the Chinese Army.
The remaining five armies, Hubu, Wuwei, Wudang, Wuqian, and Tuchen, are all infantry armies.
The Tiger Infantry Army is stationed at Tongguan, and the Wudang Army is stationed at Wuguan. These two armies have old foundations and can be directly formed into armies.
As for the Wuwei Army, there was no front army and the Tuchen Army broke up the remaining units of the Hanzhong Army and the Liangzhou Army, eliminated the old and weak, and mobilized the best soldiers as a base, and then recruited county soldiers and Yi Congjun to form the army.
Because the establishment time was too short, only most of the personnel were deployed, not full strength, and the combat effectiveness was questionable.
As for the Imperial Army guarding the palace, there are the Huben Army and the Yulin Army, which are directly dispatched by the Emperor. The Central Protectorate has no right to mobilize them and is not in the order of the Central Army.
This is one of the reasons why Feng Duhu has been strongly opposed to the use of foreign troops in recent years.
People's livelihood and production in the merging of prefectures in Hedong, Guanzhong, have not yet been restored, and new policies such as the extension of land use to rural areas have not yet been fully implemented.
The local aristocratic families have not yet completely returned home.
The restructuring of the Chinese military has not been completely completed.
These things all take time.
However, Feng Duhu finally sent an engineering battalion to help Wei Yan.
All because he believed that Wei Yan could capture Gaodu by relying solely on the Hedong Governor's Mansion.
He was also willing to give Wei Yan such an opportunity in exchange for the smooth progress of the Han Dynasty's restructuring.
But who could have expected that Wei Yan would screw up.
Not only did it mess up, but now it has begun to backfire on Dahan's restructuring process.
General Zhendong, as the person beside Feng Duhu, was naturally aware of his Alang's ambitions.
The current situation made her extremely angry with Wei Yan - and at the same time, she was also extremely angry with someone in the palace.
When he heard Adou's question, General Guan had no expression on his face:
"Your Majesty, the Central Protector once told me that among the generals of the Wei thieves, the most feared one is Sima Yi."
"It just so happens that he also controls 100,000 elite troops of the Wei thieves, and combined with the Hanoi thieves, the number will be no less than 150,000."
"If Sima Yi really has been plotting to join the party for a long time, then we must be prepared to face an army of 150,000 thieves."
Sima Yi will definitely stay in Luoyang with troops, maybe even heavy troops.
But you should be lenient to your enemies, right?
When A Dou heard this, his lips stopped trembling, and his face twitched again:
"Sima Yi only controlled the land in Henan, Henan, how could he raise so many people and horses?"
Jiang Wan coughed:
"Your Majesty, that's not how the account is calculated. Not to mention that Henan and Hanoi are the heart of the Central Plains. Take Sima Yi as an example. He is now the hope of the Guandong family. How can we just talk about Henan and Hanoi?"
"Furthermore, when Sima Yi was in Guanzhong, he stored a lot of grain. When he left Guanzhong, he also transported a lot of grain and grass away."
"In addition, Luoyang is the capital of the Wei traitor state. Before Cao Rui fled, most of the Wei state's taxes had to be transferred to Luoyang."
"In this way, Luoyang must have a lot of food reserves. Considering the breadth, Sima Yi will be able to support it for three to five years. I'm afraid it won't be a problem."
Is it another case of showing leniency to the enemy?
Think about it, it only took three years to move the capital to Chang'an...
Okay, then I will take it as what you said, Mr. Jiang, is true.
Adou looked at General Guan again:
"General Zhendong, if Sima Yi really goes all out to capture Shangdang's land, what good strategy should the Central Protectorate have to retreat?"
General Guan raised his head and said calmly:
"I don't have a good strategy, it's just that if a thief comes, I will go there."
Although Adou was prepared in his heart, when he heard General Guan say these words, his body was immediately shaken and his face became solemn:
"General Zhendong wants to lead the army there in person?"
General Guan stood up and saluted:
"Your Majesty, I request you to lead the Northern Army, the Tiger Cavalry Army, the Wuwei Army, the Wuqian Army, and the Chen Army to cross the river eastward to rescue the Shangdang!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to General Guan.
General Zhendong, this is your plan to mobilize all the Chinese troops in Guanzhong!
The Northern Army and the Tiger Cavalry Army could understand, but they did not expect that even the New Third Army, which had not yet fully formed an army, would be dragged away.
Looking at General Guan standing tall and straight, and then looking at the generals below her, Adou swallowed a mouthful of saliva:
"Guan, General Zhendong, are you sure you can defeat the enemy?"
Jiang Wan also took the opportunity to persuade:
"General Zhendong, the troops are more refined but not numerous. The Wuwei Army has no front troops. The three armies of Tu Chen Army may not be able to fight at the moment. If we rush forward in a hurry, will it turn into a burden?"
If General Zhendong is defeated here, even if the Central Guards rushes over from behind, it may be difficult to clean up the mess.
General Guan seemed to know what Jiang Wan was worried about, and she smiled calmly:
"Your Majesty, Mr. Jiang, all the soldiers in the world are those who have become elite soldiers without seeing blood. An army that can fight is not produced by training, but by fighting."
She looked at Adou again:
"Your Majesty, there are elite southern troops in Hedong, plus the Northern Army and the Tiger Cavalry Army, all three armies are here. Even if the Shangdang cannot be saved, I can at least guarantee that there will be no losses in Hedong."
Even if Shangdang is lost, as long as the rescue is timely, Hedong can be saved and then help Taiyuan.
In this way, by advancing from both ends, the Wei thieves can be suppressed by Shangdang.
Given time, Shangdang can be taken back sooner or later.
Everyone was moved when they heard General Guan's words.
In the Battle of Guanzhong, General Guan led his cavalry from Jiuyuan to rush all the way and swept across Bingzhou and Hedong.
Now that the Central Guards are away, it is indeed most appropriate for her to lead the army to Hedong to rescue the Shangdang.
Adou stood up and bowed deeply to General Zhendong:
"The country is in great difficulty, but we are lucky to have loyal men like the general! Thank you very much, general!"
Everyone present saw this and quickly stood up.
General Guan paid his respects and Su Rong said:
"If Your Majesty can return the old capital, there is hope that the Han Dynasty can prosper three times. It is not only the contribution of my ministers, but also the sacrifice of my ancestors who forgot their own lives and fought hard. I dare not forget the will of my ancestors!"
When A Dou heard this, he felt a little embarrassed: "I don't even dare to forget it!"
This time, Adou doesn't dare to call himself me.
Because these "ancestors" include not only Guan Yu, but also Zhang Fei, the late emperor, the prime minister, Zhao Yun...
No way, as "Unparalleled Loyalty" becomes more and more popular, who in the world doesn't know about the sworn friendship between the three people in Taoyuan?
As for the historical truth...
Loyalty, do you understand?
What matters is loyalty!
Anyway, we ordinary people think that the sworn friendship is real, do you care?
Guan Zhang is the late emperor's sworn brother, with unparalleled loyalty and righteousness. Is there any problem?
Therefore, General Zhendong called out "ancestors", and Adou had to show something even if he pinched his nose.
"Come here, take the emperor's scepter. I will give it to General Zhendong and let him go out on my behalf to defeat his enemies!"
A Dou finally steeled himself and shouted outside the hall.
The Emperor's Scepter was soon delivered to the palace.
Adou walked down, took the staff, walked to General Zhendong, and handed it over:
"As Mr. Jiang said, the military situation is like a fire, and urgent matters should be kept simple. I hope General Zhendong will not mind it."
"If I can return victorious one day, I will definitely go out of the city thirty miles to meet the general."
General Guan kowtowed and bowed to the ground:
"My lord, please accept me!"
Adou handed the scepter to General Guan and whispered at the same time:
"In the past, the late Emperor entrusted all the affairs of Jingzhou to Guan Laojunhou. Today I also entrust all the affairs of Shangdang to the general. I only hope that the general can return victoriously as soon as possible."
Although it seems a bit unlucky to mention this matter at this time.
But that was definitely not what A Dou meant. He paused and continued:
"The late emperor and Mr. Guan Laojun can become a good story about unparalleled loyalty. I, uh, and... I, the Central Protector, and General Guan can also become a good story."
General Guan stood up and took the staff. When he heard Adou's words again, General Guan, who always showed his coolness to others, couldn't help but smile.
But this smile disappeared in a flash:
"The late emperor was a benevolent and righteous king. I believe that as long as your majesty can not forget the aspirations of his ancestors and work hard to govern, he will definitely be as good as the late emperor in the future."
As soon as Adou heard this, Long Yan was immediately overjoyed and said humbly:
"How dare you compare with the late emperor? Passed, passed."
"Your Majesty, the military situation is urgent. I ask Rong Chen to retire and return to the government to reorganize the army and prepare for war."
"Okay, okay, general, move slowly!"
Adou personally escorted General Zhendong outside the palace, "Someone, please escort General Zhendong out of the palace for me."
"Here!"
With the departure of General Zhendong, the matter of dispatching troops has almost been discussed.
The remaining people also began to leave one by one.
Adou returned to the main seat and sat down alone. Then he took a long breath, and the fatigue on his face could no longer be hidden.
After closing his eyes and resting quietly for a while, he heard footsteps from behind.
"His Majesty?"
"Well, the queen is here?"
The queen looked guilty and ashamed:
"Your Majesty, as we are busy with state affairs, I have boiled some ginseng soup. Drink it while it's hot."
Only then did A Dou open his eyes, with a smile on his face:
"The queen is in trouble."
The queen shook her head, smiled bitterly, and lowered her head:
"Compared to Your Majesty, I can't bear the word "hard work".
At this time, the queen's face was frightened and uncomfortable, and she even flinched in her words and actions, but she no longer had the confidence of the past.
When Adou saw her like this, he couldn't help but hold her hand:
"Don't worry, even if the sky falls, I will bear it with you."
After hearing Adou's words, the queen dared to raise her head, her eyes were red and she was a little choked with sobs:
"His Majesty……"
Adou forced a smile and patted the back of her hand:
"When I first arrived at Dabao, there were powerful enemies outside and traitors inside. How could I have a good night's sleep?"
"Without the Queen's support and gentle words of comfort, I don't know how I would have spent those days."
"And your original intention, queen, is actually for me." As he said that, Adou let out a long sigh, "It's just that it turned out to be like this, who could have expected it?"
He gritted his teeth again: "The blame lies with Wei Yan!"
When the queen heard this, she couldn't help but shed tears: "Your Majesty, it was my concubine who did something wrong and didn't know people well, which caused your Majesty..."
"We were wrong. I nodded to everything you did. Until now, there is absolutely no reason for you to bear the responsibility alone. Otherwise, wouldn't I, the emperor, be a joke?"
Looking at other people’s brothers-in-law and couples, they are so enviable, why can’t I be the same?
"Didn't we have a pretty good life when my father-in-law was around?"
Adou stretched out his hand to wipe away the queen's tears, "Now that we have tried it, if it doesn't work, it won't work. Let's avoid getting involved in these things in the future."
"My father-in-law has entrusted Feng Mingwen with all his affairs, so we should just trust Feng Mingwen."
The queen nodded, sobbing and fell into Adou's arms:
