Qi Meng Xuanji

Chapter 203: Can't be killed, slow down

Yue State has always been a martial country, and its people are sturdy, especially after Yue Ni came to power. Although it consumed national power during the Southern and Northern Wars, it also squeezed the surrounding countries such as Ning State, Cheng State, and Myanmar through plunder. With a lot of wealth, it is true that war is supported by war. The army has been on the battlefield for a long time, and the strength of the army is only comparable to that of the Qi country in the extreme west.

To deal with such a bandit-type country, head-to-head damage will inevitably be great, especially in a country like Ji Guo, which has been in peace for many years. The army lacks actual combat experience, inadequate training, loose discipline, and disintegrated people. Once facing the Yue State Iron Army, I'm afraid it will soon become a dish of loose sand, and it will be scattered.

Therefore, Ji Jianshen's first department has long established a "drag" strategy, using the geographical advantage of Ji's borders to be unable to defend and fight for a long time. Ji Guosheng has ample treasury and supplies. They can afford it, but Yue Guo can't. Started.

According to the comprehensive intelligence obtained by spies for many years, Yue State’s internal financial situation is not very good. The war has caused a large number of young and middle-aged people to go to the front line. The normal production and life of the country have been greatly damaged. Correspondingly, industries related to military supplies and people’s livelihood are also operated. It is not good, basically not scaled up, and competition among small businesses is severely depleted. As a result, most of the treasury’s annual revenue is derived from foreign aggression.

Once the Yue State was unable to get enough benefits from the defeated State, the supply of the army would become less and less until it broke, so that there was no need to fight again, and Yue State would be subjugated. These Yue Ni and the important officials in the Yue Kingdom also knew it well, but it took time to reverse it. As long as Yue State slowed down the pace of foreign aggression, problems would immediately surface, and other countries would take advantage of the emptiness and rise up to fight back.

Yue Guo seemed to use force to frighten the world, but in fact it was difficult to overcome. He knew that continuing to fight would accelerate the vicious circle of people's livelihood and economy, but if he didn't fight, he would face the catastrophe of annihilation.

That's why Yue Ni started paying attention to the Shen family at the beginning, and wanted to recruit economic talents to solve Yue's domestic difficulties.

On Ji’s side, Ji Jianshen and his sons have gradually mastered the upper ranks of the frontier army through years of hard work. However, due to various factors, they were unable to recruit troops and train soldiers on a large scale. Fortunately, the natural barrier created by the dense forests on the border of Ji’s border. It is very beneficial to defense. After these years of operation, although the quality of soldiers is still generally low, relying on geographical advantages and reasonable fortification design, there should be no problem with maintaining the border.

The more troublesome issue is the defense of Ningguo border.

Relying on Longjiang's first-line defense is obviously not realistic and too risky. Ji Jianshen used a large number of frontier guards from Ningguo, and allocated military expenditures to recruit a large number of recruits. These preparations were carried out since the annexation of Ningguo. Today, the military power stationed at the junction of Ningguo and Yueguo It has been much stronger before.

But Chengguo, which borders the Ningguo region, is another big change.

In the past, every time Yue State sent troops to attack Ning State, Cheng State would launch a war against Yue State from the side, dispersing Yue State’s forces, and vice versa. But nowadays, Cheng Guo is not less cautious about Ji Guo Jue than Yue Guo. It is impossible for them to help out. It is considered polite not to steal the hind legs.

A meal of Xuanji and Ji Jianshen and other people. It was this kind of international situation analysis that was served. Xuanji listened carefully and occasionally asked some questions that he didn’t understand. Zhang Qiaoyu and Zhao Zheng looked at each other and were secretly happy. .

Everyone was very curious about what the heavenly queen had in her mind, but everyone around Ji Jianshen believed that as long as she was willing to take the initiative to offer advice, one person would be more powerful than a 100,000 soldiers.

Ji Jianshen is now the emperor, Zhang Qiaoyu is indifferent, but Zhao Zheng is still very stressed about having dinner with the emperor. Fortunately, Xuanji is present, and the serious atmosphere on the dining table has eased a lot.

Some of Xuanji's questions were straight to the core, which was shockingly sharp, and some were idiotic enough to make people smile. After a meal, she finally got a clear understanding of Yue State's combat strategy.

For today's situation, Ji Jianshen's family has been preparing for many years, and Xuanji has no doubt that even if she does not appear, things will develop according to their plan, but it may be five or ten years later.

auzw.com "I will go to the Finance Secretary tomorrow to find out about the state of the treasury?" Xuan Ji asked suddenly. Although Ji Guo has a lot of money, I heard Wen Juncong's statement in the restaurant last time, and it seems that I can't spend it completely optimistically.

Ji Jianshen glanced at her with a smile, not wanting to hit her directly.

Ji Siyuan couldn't help laughing, and said, "You are the queen, you go to the treasurer. It's strange not to scare those old men to death!"

Xuanji also remembered the issue of her own identity, and now she has to go out of the palace to do something, the trouble is not ordinary!

However, Zhang Qiaoyu cherished Xuanji's rare initiative very much and quickly offered advice: "Weichen suggested to Mr. Mo for the senior manager of the Shen family to be the consultant of the finance department. Then let Mr. Mo send a person who is familiar with the finance department and the treasury. Affairs officials can go to Shen’s headquarters to discuss with the queen."

This can avoid the dissatisfaction of the ruling and the opposition caused by the queen's direct political intervention, and it can also give full play to Xuanji's strengths. Ji Jianshen nodded immediately.

After dinner, Ji Jianshen dragged Xuanji in the Imperial Study Room to accompany her to handle official duties, and Hong Wang and the waiters naturally retired.

Xuanji obediently helped the emperor's husband sort out the memorials. Seeing that Ji Jianshen was attentively reviewing the memorials under the light, she picked up the memorials and took a look at what was written. After reading it, she couldn't help but sigh.

Ji Jianshen raised his head and said, "What's the matter?"

"Excuse me? It's nothing important, you can talk about it after you finish it. Hehe! I'll go back to sleep first." He stood up and wanted to slip.

It's getting dark, it's time to sleep! The struggling children will continue to stay here and work!

Where is Ji Jianshen willing to let her go? Xuanji only felt that there was a breeze around him, and the person had been held and taken back.

"Now speaking! Everything about your affairs must be tight." The big devil under the light looked more and more enchanted.

The big devil is really suitable for the dark night, this tempting catastrophe!

Xuanji's cautious liver jumped uncontrollably, she didn't dare to look at the beautiful face of the fascinating person. She was not too bold and reminded: "You still have dozens of memorials to watch, hurry up and behave. Live! Uh, I just saw the memorial and thought of something."

"What's the matter?" If you don't say it, don't let go! Ji Jianshen hinted with action.

Xuanji sat up straight and pointed to the memorial that he had just seen: "This memorial sent by the border officials is about the arrangements for the aftermath of the slaughter village on the border. There are more than 18,000 characters in total, most of which are praises. There are also nonsense, meaningless mandarins that shirk responsibility, and the specific arrangements are really less than a thousand words. Such a wordy is inefficient. Let’s not say how much time the official spent writing this report. You just need to read it a day. More memorials will be annoying, shouldn't we make rules for these officials to talk as long as possible, don't talk nonsense?"
