As the emperor of Annan Kingdom, although he is arrogant, he also knows one thing very well, that is, the opponent's military strength has an absolute advantage!
Once the fight actually started, he might not necessarily be his opponent. Fu Dekai said he had thought of a countermeasure, so how could he not be excited?
"Your Majesty, this is what I think. Once the prince of the Ming Dynasty gets enough cotton clothes, he will immediately send troops to Yunnan Mansion!"
"In this way, we can ambush him along the way and inflict heavy damage on him. Therefore, if we want to complete this series of strategies, cotton clothes are the key point!"
"According to the news sent back by Wang Siliang, the prince is timid and wants cotton-padded clothes, but he doesn't want to cause the price of cotton-padded clothes to skyrocket and make the people suffer!"
"Therefore, I want us to support one hundred thousand cotton-padded clothes! I agree to this!"
Fu Dekai said in a deep voice.
wipe!
After he said that, Moore Hong wanted to jump down and give him a kick. You must be a fool!
If the opponent doesn't have winter cotton clothes, they can't attack them. Isn't this a good thing?
If you give him cotton-padded clothes now, you are endorsing the enemy!
"Ahem! Prime Minister, you agreed to this matter privately without His Majesty's permission. I'm afraid it's not good!"
"Yes, if Lin Fan doesn't have cotton-padded clothes, he won't lead his troops to attack us. In this way, we will be safer!"
"Prime Minister, do you feel that you are siding with the enemy? Besides, Wang Siliang may not be trustworthy!"
…
The officials all said that they had great opinions on Fu Dekai, and Moore Hong also said: "Prime Minister, you agreed to this privately, which is indeed a bit beyond your authority!"
"How many cotton-padded clothes can I have in Annan?
After giving them one hundred thousand pieces, what should the people do to survive the winter?
Aren’t our soldiers going through the winter?”
Fu Dekai said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this matter is not as simple as you think. Do you think, if we gave Lin Fan 100,000 pieces of cotton-padded clothes for the winter, and he would immediately send troops, we would have already prepared an ambush!"
"If we don't give him cotton-padded clothes, it's not certain when he will attack. Do we have to stay there all the time?
The soldiers cannot hold on!"
"Instead of waiting for uncertainty, it is better to take a gamble and wait for Lin Fan to fall into the trap himself!"
"As for the question of Wang Siliang, your Majesty, don't worry. Wang Siliang also has selfish motives and wants to be the emperor. Therefore, he is the one who least wants the Ming Dynasty to win!"
this……
After hearing what Fu Dekai said, Moore Hong fell into deep thought, and the officials present were also thinking in their hearts.
It seems that giving him 100,000 cotton-padded clothes is the best choice!
"Prime Minister, how sure are you about this matter?"
Moore Hong asked.
"Reporting to your Majesty, I am 90% sure that if we can annihilate all the Ming Dynasty's 100,000 troops, we can still take back the cotton clothes. As for the remaining 100,000 troops, they must be frightened and dare not come again!"
Fu Dekai said with a smile.
Moore Hong said solemnly: "Okay! This matter is in accordance with the wishes of the Prime Minister. These 100,000 cotton-padded clothes will be allocated directly from the Ministry of War. The people's winter clothes must not be touched!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Fu Dekai said in a deep voice.
On the next day, a large number of cotton-padded clothes were quickly transported to Guizhou Prefecture through the rugged mountain roads of Yunnan. Wang Siliang also sent people to meet them.
Three days later, a large number of cotton-padded clothes arrived, and Lin Fan's army took four days to repair. The soldiers were all energetic and their physical strength was fully restored.
"Your Highness, will we always be stationed in Sizhou Fucheng?
When will we take back Yunnan Mansion?"
Some soldiers couldn't help it anymore and wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy.
Lin Fan looked at the soldier and said with a smile: "When you go into battle to kill the enemy, the most important thing for you now is to recharge your batteries!"
Xu Ming also came to Lin Fan and said, "Your Highness, Wang Siliang just sent someone to say that 100,000 cotton-padded clothes have been collected and are being kept at Anshun Mansion."
"kindness?
It was actually placed in Anshun Mansion. This Wang Siliang is so anxious for me to leave! Notify the whole army and set off for Anshun Mansion!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Yes! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
The soldiers received the order and hurried to organize the army.
In these four days, the soldiers had almost eaten all the meat in Sizhou Prefecture. The next step was to go to Anshun Prefecture and eat for a while longer.
Outside Anshun Prefecture, Wang Siliang and several officials greeted Lin Fan.
"Haha! His Majesty the Crown Prince, these cotton-padded clothes were collected with great difficulty by the ministers. They were originally meant to be sent to you, but there is really no manpower available. Therefore, we can only ask His Majesty the Crown Prince to come and pick them up in person!"
Wang Siliang said with a smile.
Lin Fan said: "Haha! We were going straight to Yunnan Mansion. Anshun Mansion is the closest city to Yunnan Mansion, so we always have to come here!"
"However, one hundred thousand cotton-padded clothes are not enough!"
kindness?
not enough!
Wang Siliang was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Your Highness, aren't you an army of 100,000 people?
One hundred thousand cotton-padded clothes are enough for one person to live in!"
"I have also provided cotton-padded clothes for you, His Highness the Third Prince, and several other adults, and I have prepared two pieces for each person!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "Master Wang, have you forgotten that there are still 100,000 troops stationed outside? Don't they wear cotton clothes?"
Forehead……
Wang Siliang was stunned on the spot, was he trying to kill himself?
I finally got you 100,000 cotton-padded clothes, and you want another 100,000?
"Master Wang, you don't need to worry about the remaining 100,000 cotton-padded clothes. I will let people send these 100,000 cotton-padded clothes to the 100,000 troops first. I, the 100,000 people, will not wear them for the time being!
"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, how is this possible? You, a hundred thousand people, are all elites. If you don't wear cotton-padded clothes, what will you do if you enter Yunnan Mansion and freeze out?"
Wang Siliang said in a deep voice.
"That's okay. You can stay here temporarily. I will send a letter to General Cheng first and ask him to lead the 100,000 people to slowly march towards Yunnan Mansion to pave the way for me!"
Lin Fan said.
wipe!
Let the 100,000 people go first. If those 100,000 people are attacked by the Annan people, won't their affairs be exposed?
Moreover, if you move slowly, even if you are attacked by a sneak attack, you won't lose too many people. It's painless and will make the prince alert!
It seems that I still underestimated this dog prince!
"Your Highness, you serve the country and the people. I will do my best to raise these 100,000 cotton clothes for you!"
Wang Siliang said in a deep voice.
"Master Wang, this matter is really not urgent. If it is for the sake of our generals and soldiers, the common people cannot wear cotton-padded clothes in winter, I will not bear it!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, these 100,000 pieces of cotton-padded clothes were bought from Yunnan Mansion at a high price. I only need to buy a batch at a high price!"
