Unless there are special circumstances, the people who usually attend the Umrah meetings in the Tang Dynasty are the ministers on duty in the royal study room and the traveling ministers. Not all of them will be present, because there will always be some people who go out for inspections or due to various matters.
What other situations are not in Gyeonggi Province?
Therefore, there are only about twenty people attending the Umrah today.
But among the more than twenty people, those from the military have never expressed any opinions on the government affairs of the empire, unless they want to reduce military expenditures or harm the interests of the military.
Otherwise, the top brass of the military have always been blind and pretended not to hear or see anything.
But today, people from the military also spoke one after another.
Because on the surface, the economic crisis has nothing to do with the military, but if the economic crisis causes turmoil, it will have something to do with the military.
Therefore, General of the Army, Deputy Envoy of the Army Privy Council, and Minister on Duty Deng Xide spoke unceremoniously: "Now our country is at a critical moment of global expansion, and the third Indian campaign led by our army is about to begin. At this critical moment,
At this time, the Army still hopes that all departments can stabilize the situation on the mainland and not affect the war!"
Deng Xide's words, like those of the previous army ministers on duty, were full of army style.
That is, you civilian officials should stop messing around all day long. If it affects the Army's global layout, the Army's millions of soldiers will go crazy.
Then Admiral Jian Shujie of the Navy also spoke: "The Navy is executing the third phase of the shipbuilding plan, and it is exactly when it needs the full help of the manufacturing industry. Old Chen, you must not make any mistakes at this time!"
On issues like this, the Army and Navy have always put aside their internal differences, stood on a united front, and put pressure on the cabinet.
However, civilian officials in the cabinet have seen this kind of pressure from the army and navy. Chen Lifu, for example, acted as if he had not heard what these two military bosses said.
Instead, he said to himself: "Overcapacity is a crisis, but now that we have found signs of it, we will prescribe medicine for the disease, and I will ask the people below to come up with a plan later!"
Whether it is overcapacity or economic crisis, it has a great relationship with Chen Lifu.
Because he is now responsible for economic development affairs. If there is a problem with the empire's economy, he will definitely be the first person responsible!
Naturally, Chen Lifu would not let this happen.
Although he is a traditional scholar, he has been in charge of Songjiang Mansion for many years, and later served as Chief Secretary of Jiangnan Province, and finally as Governor of Guangdong. He has rich experience in local administration and economic development.
The problem was not discovered before, but now that it has been discovered, Chen Lifu said that there are a hundred ways to solve it.
However, he did not do it all. He could not handle this matter alone, and had to ask other people to cooperate. After all, the empire was not his alone. He was only the person responsible for economic development affairs, and other aspects were also needed.
agencies and departments to cooperate.
Although many civil servants in the imperial study dislike Chen Lifu, sometimes they would be happy to see Chen Lifu in trouble.
But at this time, these civilian officials consciously stood with Chen Lifu, and each of them said that they would immediately prepare relevant solutions. They could not let the military people look down on the civilian group.
.
The conflict between them and Chen Lifu was always an internal conflict, but the conflict between the cabinet and the military was an external conflict.
Anyone who can get up and enter the Imperial Study Room is not a fool. They naturally know what to do in this situation.
So when the military put pressure on him, they consciously supported Chen Lifu.
Of course, after the strong support, when it comes to stumbling upon Chen Lifu, he will continue to do so.
Li Xuan also had no interest in the overt and covert fighting among his ministers.
He has seen this kind of thing a lot in the past few decades, so let them fight over it.
If these ministers don't fight with each other every day, Li Xuan will have to worry about them fighting with him as the emperor.
After the small court meeting, the civil servants left in a hurry, but Deng Xide and several other military generals stayed behind.
For the military, they don't care about internal government affairs, and they have no way to interfere anyway. There is only one thing they care about from beginning to end, and that is to make achievements.
To put it bluntly, it is war!
And this time we are talking about the war in India.
Deng Xide said: “In the last Second Indian Campaign, our army mobilized and organized a total force of more than 60,000 people, launched a total of three battles with more than 10,000 troops, and thirty battles with more than 1,000 troops.
Six times, sixteen local indigenous kingdoms were eliminated. In the newly occupied areas, the directly controlled overseas territories were expanded to 220,000 square kilometers. In other parts of the country, colonial rule was established following the Spanish colonial rule in the Americas.
, established three colonial provinces!”
"From the last Second Indian Campaign, we discovered that it is not difficult to eliminate the opponent militarily. The important thing is logistics."
"So this time for the Third Indian Campaign, our army's core focus is to establish a stable and efficient logistics system. The number of front-line combat troops will be reduced, but the logistics support provided by the participating troops will be greatly improved!"
"Beginning this winter, our army will begin to mobilize its organizational departments. It is expected that approximately 30,000 combat troops will be deployed on the Indian battlefield. In addition, approximately 100,000 young men and women will be recruited from some local puppet dynasties to provide supplies.
Logistics support!”
"The purpose of this Indian battle is to completely cut off the Mughal Dynasty's southward expansion route and completely dispel their attempts to unify the Indian Peninsula!"
When Deng Xide was talking about the Third Indian War, Li Xuan did not interrupt him, but listened quietly.
In fact, the Third Indian Campaign was just a small-scale battle with only 20,000 to 30,000 people participating. It did not even require the Tang Empire to dispatch troops from the mainland. The military directly dispatched troops from India, Ceylon Island, West Asia and other regions.
Enough troops can be mobilized to participate in the war.
Not only did Li Xuan think so, but Deng Xide himself also knew it. While he was talking, he glanced at the Holy Emperor with the corner of his eye. Although the Holy Emperor's expression was dull, he had already closed his eyes slightly.
I just know that the Holy Emperor has no interest in it, and even feels a little bored.
But that's why Dunshid talks a lot about the Third Indian Campaign!
This is the time he has been waiting for!
After he finished talking about the Third Indian Campaign in a few words, he changed his subject and said: "The situation in Eastern Europe has been a bit unstable recently. The Tatar cavalry has repeatedly invaded the east of the Urals, causing serious harm.
To ensure the safety of Haidong Province and Xibei Province!"
