Chapter 301 The frustration of the emperor and his husband
At this time, the entire Chui Gong Hall, except for Zhao Xi himself, starting from his father, Fu Bi, Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang, Ouyang Xiu, Bao Zheng, these can be regarded as the top decision-makers of the entire dynasty. This moment is really a bit strange.
Mixed feelings.
I don't know whether I should be happy or jealous, but I feel a deep sense of frustration anyway.
His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, had been tinkering bit by bit with hammers and sticks from very early on, and only then did the overall plan emerge.
If His Royal Highness hadn't appeared this time and had to connect all the arrangements, they would still regard them as separate affairs.
Now, judging from the current results, the entire development context is quite clear.
Since the establishment of the guard camp, His Highness the Crown Prince has been implementing his grand idea step by step. Even the court officials on several occasions unconsciously set up obstacles, which actually contributed to His Highness the Crown Prince's perfect layout.
But at every step of implementation, the court could not stop or refuse, and had to actively cooperate. From the emperor to the father-in-law to the courtiers, there was no exception.
The Southern Expedition solved the country's shortcomings of copper shortage and insufficient food supply. At the same time, His Highness the Crown Prince shared the interests and recruited a large number of ministers to participate in the development of copper and iron mines.
Then came the track. Despite the obstacles set up by the court and many twists and turns, His Royal Highness was finally able to complete it.
He also solved the problem of redundant troops for the court time and time again. He couldn’t refuse!
Even the earliest meal was helped by my husband.
However, none of the things His Royal Highness did were beneficial to the country, and none of them harmed the interests of the emperor, the prime minister, and the entire court. On the contrary, everyone benefited, even the common people.
Unknowingly and imperceptibly, it has now become such a behemoth...
It was very quiet in Chuigong Hall for a while, and you could even hear the sound of chewing compressed biscuits and swallowing.
Zhao Xi knew that there were many things they needed to digest...
Are you shocked? Maybe, it's okay if it's not coherent, but once it's coherent, it's indeed a bit shocking.
However, Zhao Xi felt that it didn't matter. It had already reached this point. It didn't matter whether the general outline was formed or not.
At this level, it is no longer something that the father-in-law or the court officials can change. It is not just a fait accompli, but what is even more terrifying is the vested interests. The entire court staff, and even the dynasty itself, is the father, and everyone has a vested interest.
By.
Apart from him, Zhao Xi, who else can move?
The biscuits tasted good, and Zhao Xi also chewed a little, which was really good.
Zhao Xi's ability to cook food in the imperial dynasty is really not what Zhao Xi is capable of. He just proposed an idea, and the women who guarded the workshop made this kind of compressed biscuits that are comparable to those of later generations... After all,
, those who ultimately eat these biscuits are their own relatives.
This is actually the most critical link in all Zhao Xi's plans.
By connecting the soldiers on the battlefield with the craftsmen who made the armaments, only our own people will truly cherish their own people. Only our own people will desperately protect the armaments that can save their families.
Husband and wife, father and son, mother and son, brother and sister, sister and brother, etc., this most intimate and direct relationship allows the entire armaments production system to be closely integrated with the users. Not only can it ensure the yield rate of armaments production, but more importantly,
This can prevent any soldier from defecting.
"Your Highness, when did this military ration take shape?"
It tastes good and is quite filling. Although it's not as good as biscuits, it's not much inferior.
Fu Bi had a guess and wanted to get confirmation from Zhao Xi.
"More than ten years, about the same time as biscuits were made. At that time, because of that idiot Liu Yi, there were a lot of cakes produced that day. As you all know, it is difficult to store cakes."
"Generally speaking, the amount of moisture is one of the factors that determines whether food is rotten. Xi was just trying it at the time, and it has been verified that it is indeed usable. As for the taste... it is the work of the guard camp workshop."
Please give me an explanation, otherwise I won't be able to make it clear. This excuse is reasonable and true.
"Why is it announced now?"
In this case...it seems that Lao Bao hadn't entered Bianliang at that time? Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked this question.
"Mr. Bao, the court at that time did not talk about military matters for twenty years!"
No one noticed why Zhao Xi called Bao Zheng Bao Gong, and they were all embarrassed by this statement.
Fu Bi, Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu and Zeng Gongliang were both in the central government at that time. They also formulated the strategy of not talking about military affairs for twenty years.
In fact, at that time, even Zhao Xi knew that military matters could not be discussed.
Speaking of which, the policy at that time was not wrong, and it has been almost twenty years now...
"Your Highness, the three envoys will allocate the money and food for the compressed biscuits in full. Please also ask Your Highness to treat all soldiers equally in this campaign."
The salary of the Forbidden Army is not comparable to that of the New Army, even for the Western Army. However, once the war begins, they are all fighting for the country. No matter how different the equipment of the soldiers is, the morale of the army will be unstable.
"I hope you can rest assured that the orbital trial operation and the transportation team have been working hard to transport armaments to ensure that all soldiers are fully equipped before the war begins. Except for the differences in ordnance and training, everything else is the same."
Not to mention that there is a sense of friendship and friendship in the guard camp, but even if there is none, Zhao Xi has no intention of treating them differently.
This is war, and unfairness is the most taboo.
"Your Highness, after three days... after the three-day fight, everything needs to be accelerated. The mobilization of soldiers and the transportation of Zizhong need to be carried out simultaneously. It is still a bit hasty!"
Now that the matter has come to this, I can only be dragged into the pre-war by His Highness the Prince...
"Back to Han Xianggong, all the soldiers who have been trained can reach Bianliang in three days and the battlefield in seven days because the track is laid, and they will not be exhausted!"
The real role of the track is truly reflected at this time. It is beneficial to national defense and governance. This is the role of transportation connectivity.
Once the track forms a network within the scope of the country and North Korea, it will take three to five days for the new army to reach any border state, and they can arrive at any time and fight at any time.
Just like this, questions and answers, from soldiers to armaments, from food and grass to heavy equipment, from the use of generals, to the strategy of the entire war... This time's questioning became the most efficient exchange.
The final result made all the princes very frustrated. It seemed that in this war, they were human-shaped seals. They only needed to issue edicts, not to mention dictating the battlefield. Even the early planning only needed to follow the instructions of His Highness the Crown Prince.
Just set a strategy.
All that can be done is to check for deficiencies and fill them up... This situation has not happened in the court for a long time.
The only cover-up was for His Royal Highness to reveal all his plans and request that they be used in the name of Zhengshitang to formulate imperial edicts.
This is a necessary process, but the meaning expressed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is: let all of this be decided by the political hall, not planned by Zhao Xi alone.
Sharing all interests, this is Zhao Xi's consistent principle in doing things.
In a war, even if you have a very thorough plan, you still need people to execute it in the end.
Zhao Xi hopes that by giving up what he can, he can create a situation where we can work together as one.
