I fought from the north to the south, and you two cooperated to fight from the south to the north. The north and the south attacked together, and together we divided Goguryeo.
The two countries readily agreed, so they quietly signed a contract, and the three parties started working together.
Everything was fine at first. Goguryeo had deployed a large number of troops on the border of Dajin, and the south was empty. Silla and Baekje had been bullied for many years, so they were pushed north at an extremely fast speed.
As a result, there was a rebellion in Baekje, and they had to send troops back to defend. Then Silla, who was fighting fiercely with Goguryeo, did not continue to fight forward, but turned around and grabbed the territory that Baekje had conquered, and directly took over
People from Baekje fought for territory and killed each other.
Because of Silla's move to return Matao, the two countries that were originally allies fought together. Baekje also turned to Goguryeo, betraying Jin and Silla completely.
The governor of Yingzhou who was bent on destroying Goguryeo:...
When he learned the news, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. In the end, he could only ask for help from the capital, telling the capital that Goguryeo was crossing the border again. Would you like to send some reinforcements to help? If possible, send people to Baekje and Baekje.
Go to Silla and ask them to cooperate again in the name of the court.
The governor of Yeongju, who originally wanted to take credit, but ended up working in vain, has recently been particularly keen on speaking ill of Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje.
He also knew that Goguryeo was seeking peace, but his attitude was that he could not negotiate. Based on his many years of experience in fighting with Goguryeo in Yingzhou, reconciliation basically only lasted two years. It would be better to fight directly. Grandpa would be so angry.
The relationship between these countries is too complicated. One day and the other are as good as wearing a pair of trousers, but tomorrow they will be at war with each other, so she directly asked: "How sure is the court that it can convince Silla and Baekje?"
Duke Zhao said confidently: "About 80%."
Man Bao was surprised, "So high?"
Duke Zhao: "Otherwise, why would your Majesty want to lead the expedition in person?"
Man Bao thought the same thing. The emperor's personal expedition could not only boost morale, but also send a signal to the surrounding Tibetan countries. The Jin Dynasty was not a place where you could fight if you wanted to or retreat if you didn't want to fight.
This expedition was the first war in which a large number of students from the Imperial Medical Department followed, and it was considered the first of its kind. With the emperor's presence, Duke Zhao Guo and Liu Shangshu were even more concerned, so they asked Zhou Man, "Can your students see blood?"
Man Bao said: "I can't vouch for doctors from other medical departments, but there will be no problems with ulcer doctors."
Only then did Zhao Guogong exhale.
"But you have to send people to protect them," Man Bao said: "I, the students, have been studying in the Imperial Medical Office for at least four years, but they have spent a lot of effort in training. One less one is a huge loss, so you
You have to protect me."
Zhao Guogong said there was no problem.
Man Bao continued: "By the way, there are twenty female students among the students who went this time. Zhao Shangshu, you must restrain your soldiers. If they dare to make mistakes that they shouldn't make, my knife will
Not only can he saw his legs and hands, but he can also cut off other things."
Zhao Guogong: "..."
Xiao Yuan was coughing violently, glared at Zhou Man and whispered: "Master Zhou, be careful, can you be more ladylike?"
Man Bao straightened his back and nodded reservedly to Xiao Yuanzheng, "I am very ladylike. This is to pave the way for the future relationship between the Imperial Medical Office and the Ministry of War, so as to prevent such a thing from happening in the future, and we will not turn against each other."
alright."
Xiao Yuanzheng also looked at Zhao Guogong, looked at him closely and answered.
Zhao Guogong: "...Don't worry, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Xiao, I will restrain them. Our officers and soldiers in Jin Dynasty have strict military discipline, so there is no need to worry."
Manbao said "hmm".
Liu Shangshu was gloating on the sidelines when he saw that they had finished negotiating and said: "Okay, I have nothing to say to you anymore. See you later."
Duke Zhao immediately followed him, and the two brothers seemed to be walking together with Liu Shangshu, "Farewell, Old Liu, I still have something to say to you..."
Old Liu has been annoying the people in the Ministry of War to death in the past two days, especially the Minister of War.
Xiao Yuanzheng did not join in the fun. Instead, he pulled Zhou Man aside and whispered, "How much is the budget?"
"I'll scare you to death if I tell you, it costs more than 86 million."
Xiao Yuanzheng: "..."
He looked at Zhou Man suspiciously, "How did you calculate it?"
"As I said, the calculation is based on the data of the last emperor of the previous dynasty. However, the troop strength issued by His Majesty is less than one-fifth of that of the previous dynasty. In addition, the probability of casualties may not be that high, so such a large budget cannot be used."
"Then you still count according to the previous administration?"
"Isn't this to give them room to bargain?" Man Bao sighed: "It's a pity that Liu Shangshu is too sophisticated and cunning. He didn't wait for me to report the number and directly limited it to five million. I didn't even have a chance to speak.
This budget is a wasted effort.”
In order to do this, Bai Shan stayed up late to prepare data for her.
Xiao Yuan was speechless.
Man Bao thought of something and turned around and asked: "Mr. Chancellor, isn't the Queen raising donations? All of this money should be for our Imperial Medical Office, right?"
Xiao Yuanzheng: "Really? Who did you listen to? How did I hear that it was military equipment?"
After all, the emperor's personal expedition would be much more expensive and the treasury would not be very rich.
Man Bao frowned: "It seems that someone said, no matter what, you go directly to the empress and ask her to transfer the money to the Imperial Medical Office."
Xiao Yuanzheng nodded, "That's right, I'll leave this matter to you."
Manbao stared.
Xiao Yuanzheng said: "Master Zhou, you are a woman. It will be better to meet the Queen at the palace banquet later, and there are two princesses to help you. I am waiting for good news from you."
Man Bao looked at him quietly.
Xiao Yuanzheng stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder, and said with sincerity: "Those who are able should work harder, just think it is for the future of the Imperial Medical Office. You also said that if things are done well this time, the Imperial Medical Office will be in the imperial court in the future."
Only then can we stand firm."
After thinking about it, he couldn't just let her work, so he said, "Don't you always want to see Doctor Ji? I'll write a letter to ask him to come back."
Imperial Physician Ji was not in the capital, so Man Bao went to ask for help twice. He heard that he was visiting friends, but Man Bao kept asking for help but could not see him.
Upon hearing what Xiao Yuan was saying, Man Bao's eyes lit up, "If you invite him, will he come back?"
Xiao Yuan was stroking his beard and said confidently: "Don't worry, if I ask, he will come back."
It was time for Imperial Physician Ji's eldest grandson to study in the Imperial Physician's Office. He didn't believe that he didn't want to send his child there.
There will be exams after the Chinese New Year, and you should prepare now.
Xiao Yuanzheng decided to contact Dr. Ji.
Man Bao thought for a while and agreed. She happened to want to ask the Queen. She must be the chief officer of the Imperial Hospital when she goes out with the army this time. It would be safe to prepare more medicinal materials.
Man Bao looked around and didn't find Bai Shan and the others, so he was not in a hurry and simply went to the garden to look for them.
See if she can find Princess Changyu. If not, she will have to find another opportunity to approach the queen.
