Li Er has decided to directly send troops to Japan after the Dengzhou Navy cleans up the pirates in the northern seas.
From now on, the gold and silver of Japan will all belong to Tang Dynasty.
After ordering Zhang Liang to start clearing out pirates in the northern seas, Li Er took his eyes back from the map.
He came to the desk and sat down, and ordered: "Bring me the files of Liu Rengui, Xue Li, Liu Jingren, Li Qi, Wu Cheng and others."
The eunuch accompanying him began to deliver files to Li Er one after another.
Li Er picked up another list from the desk: "Send this list to the British Lord and ask him to go to Yangzhou to reward the army for me and then take these people to Beijing."
The chamberlain took the list and hurriedly went to the Ministry of War to look for Li Ji.
Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, is old and has recently suffered from leg and foot problems, so he basically doesn't care about the affairs of the Ministry of War.
Nowadays, the daily work of the Ministry of War is basically presided over by the British Minister Li Ji.
In the lobby of the Ministry of War, Li Ji was losing his temper with a group of officials from the Ministry of War:
"I will go to Yangzhou tomorrow to reward the soldiers who have returned from overseas for Your Majesty. You haven't reviewed the navy's military merit book clearly yet?"
"What do you want me to take to Yangzhou to reward the army?"
A group of officials from the Ministry of War were silent for a long time. Yang Sixun, the left minister, said: "Your Majesty, it's not that we failed to examine the navy's military merits clearly."
"It's just that the military merit book sent back by the Protector cannot be reviewed at all."
Li Ji sneered and said, "Oh, what should I say?"
Yang Sixun said: "Young Lord, you have great military exploits and are the best at military affairs."
"As for the military merit book sent by the Protector, how credible do you think it is?"
The Ministry of War doctor and Yuan Wailang also continued: "According to what the Lord Protector said, the navy went through dozens of battles in Dashi, and each time it faced several times the enemy."
"There is not a single defeat that I fail to mention, and each time I defeat the enemy with a small victory and a large one."
"According to the Lord Protector, the navy killed more than 80,000 enemies in the Great Food, and the total loss was less than 3,000."
"Take their first battle in Dashi as an example. Three thousand troops faced Dashi's 30,000 men. In three days, they wiped out more than 20,000 enemies and lost less than 500..."
"Such a victory, Mr. British, do you believe it?"
"That's right, we dare to admit such an outrageous military record?
Can they recognize the officials of Yushitai from the three provinces?"
Su Chen's detailed battle report and military merit records were delivered to Chang'an three days ago.
Li Er took one look at it and threw it to the Ministry of War.
After the requirements are verified, the officers and soldiers will be rewarded according to their military merits, and they will be promoted if they deserve promotion and receive rewards if they deserve it.
However, officials from the Ministry of War scorned the battle reports and military merit books sent by Su Chen and did not believe them at all.
Li Ji gave a group of officials from the Ministry of War a cold look: "You ask me how trustworthy the navy's military merit book is?"
"Then I'll tell you, I believe it all!"
An official from the Ministry of War: "Mr. British, you..."
"What's wrong with me?"
Li Ji stared at Yang Sixun and ordered the scribe:
"Bring me the Navy's merit book."
The clerk brought a large pile of documents and reports and piled them on the table in front of Li Ji.
Li Ji held the big seal in his hand and opened the documents and reports one after another. Without even looking at them, he slapped stamps on them.
Then, when Su Chen submitted the document report to the Ministry of War, he wrote:
All military reports have been verified!
Then he signed and sealed it and threw it to Yang Sixun.
"Okay, take it to the three provinces. If anything happens, I'll be responsible for it!"
Yang Sixun was furious: "British Lord, although you are in charge of the Ministry of War, you cannot be so arbitrary!"
Li Ji smiled and said: "I am so arbitrary and arbitrary. What do you think?"
"If you are not convinced, you can report it to the Third Division or go to court to impeach me. Or do you have the guts to appeal to His Majesty?"
Yang Sixun's neck turned red with anger,
The doctor of the Ministry of War and the foreign minister of the Ministry of War said angrily: "Mr. British! Without the review and judgment of other officials of the Ministry of War, it is useless even if you stamp it!"
Li Ji said indifferently: "That's your business. Anyway, I can report it to Your Majesty!"
Li Ji clapped his hands and prepared to leave the lobby of the Ministry of War:
No wonder Li Jing hid at home and asked me to act for the Ministry of War.
This damn Ministry of War job is not done by humans at all!
A group of reckless people, under the instructions of someone unknown, are going to embarrass the Royal Navy!
His Royal Highness the Prince accompanied the army throughout the whole process, and everyone actually said that Su Chen lied about his military exploits.
Are you targeting Su Chen or the prince?
Just as Li Ji was about to leave, a young eunuch ran to the Ministry of War to find Li Ji:
"British Lord, your Majesty sent an old slave to give you this,"
"His Majesty ordered the British Duke to bring these people back to face the saints!"
Li Ji took the document and said, "I've got a servant."
The eunuch completed the errand assigned by Li Er and went back to resume his duties.
Li Ji opened the list Li Er gave him and smiled at Yang Sixun and others:
"The names of the people you want to embarrass are probably on this list!"
Yang Sixun stared at the list in Li Ji's hand with a panic expression.
Before Yang Sixun and others could speak, Li Ji said angrily:
"A bunch of things that don't know how to live or die!"
"You seek your own death, don't bring me down!"
"Seeing that the navy suddenly gained attention from His Majesty, they tried their best to stumble one by one."
"Do you think holding on to the Navy's military merit book is useful?"
"Don't forget that the Royal Navy is the Forbidden Forces!"
"Your Majesty does not need the approval of the Ministry of War if he wants to be promoted or rewarded.
"To tell you the truth, His Majesty has no intention of allocating the materials and money to the Navy this time from the national treasury,"
"His Majesty's inner palace, not to mention the prince's bank and shop,"
"Is Su Chen, the God of Wealth of the Tang Dynasty, given for nothing?"
"Not to mention the navy of ten thousand people, he can also afford the money to reward an army of one hundred thousand people!"
After Li Ji scolded the officials of the Ministry of War, he left the lobby of the Ministry of War, leaving Yang Sixun and others with pale faces.
Along the way, Li Ji couldn't help but think: The court hall is now full of strange things, and the Ministry of War is really not a place for people to stay, so he has to find a way to hide.
Hou Jun is gathering in the northwest, and Zhang Gongjin has been in the northeast for a long time. How about asking His Majesty to exchange them back?
Li Ji was just thinking about it when he met Qin Qiong on the way, who seemed to be returning from a horse walk outside the city.
"Brother Qin is getting better and better. Did he go for a horse walk outside the city?"
Qin Qiong, who was half-dead from illness, gradually improved over the past two years after Su Chen found a way to give him a blood transfusion.
Qin Qiong smiled: "Hey, it's impossible to go back to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but at least you don't have to linger on the sickbed!"
Then he pointed to the restaurant next to him: "We met today, why don't we go up and sit down?"
"I heard that you are leaving Beijing, so I have put it into practice for you."
Li Ji said happily: "Okay! We haven't had a drink together for a long time."
Qin Qiong and Li Ji had a good relationship when they were in Wagang.
We are usually busy, so we happened to meet each other today, so it would be nice to have a drink and chat.
