The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 253: Powerful Ministers Force the Palace
"I immediately wrote a memorial to tell the Queen Mother the good news.

The Queen Mother must have been under a lot of pressure these days. All the Turkic cavalry had been wiped out, and now the powerful ministers had nothing to say. "

"That's right. Defeating these Turkic cavalry can also improve our morale in Daxia." Lin Ruoxue said quickly,

After Lin Hai finished writing the memorial, he asked Kuai Ma to deliver it to the court.

Those powerful ministers have not been idle these days.

They soon discovered that now was a good opportunity to take control of the military.

Immediately unite and discuss together, taking advantage of the Turks' advantage.

They could send their own men to lead those reserve armies.

Then recruit more recruits.

Let your own people lead this army.

Even if they can't go to the front line to fight, as long as they control an army, their voice can be greatly improved.

What's more, they control a lot of power and can provide many conditions for their army.

Finally, I have an excuse to take control of the coveted military power.

After they discussed it, they felt that this matter was definitely feasible.

The key is that the Ministry of War has always been neutral.

Lin Hai and Lin Tiangui were both fighting on the front line.

Now no one in the court can speak for Gong Yanwu.

As long as they kept insisting on expanding their army, Gong Yanwu had no way to refuse.

When it came time to go to court, the prime minister went straight to the memorial without saying anything.

"To inform the Queen Mother, the Turkic army has already reached the hinterland of Daxia, and it will be difficult to defeat the enemy simply by relying on the [-] troops sent by Lord Lin.

Therefore, the veteran thought over and over again and decided to squeeze out some silver from the treasury to expand the new army as soon as possible.

Moreover, the old minister also found a general who could lead the army.

Although this person is relatively young, he is familiar with the art of war.

It is absolutely feasible for him to lead the new army. "

Gong Yanwu's heart skipped a beat, and she could tell at a glance that they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to take control of the military.

Military power can be said to be the only thing he relies on, and he must not let these bodies control him.

Once a powerful official takes control of the military, he may even overthrow the royal family.

Even if the emperor succeeds to the throne in the future, they will completely ignore him.

Gong Yanwu said calmly: "Our tax revenue in Daxia has never been enough to cover our expenses, so the expansion of the army is not appropriate for the time being."

"What the Queen Mother said is a little inappropriate. The enemy can delay other matters at present.

Defeating the Turkic army and restoring peace to the people is the top priority.

The old minister and the Minister of Household Affairs have discussed it in detail.

Some expenses can be squeezed out to raise 100 million taels of silver for recruiting new troops.

Together with the current reserves, it can expand to [-] new troops.

If Mr. Lin is defeated on the front line, these new troops can immediately take over.

There will be no troops available after failure.

If we don't make preparations in advance, once the Turkic army comes to the city, we, Daxia, will be completely doomed. "

The prime minister argued hard!

He has always been very opposed to military expansion before, giving excuses that it was either a waste of people and money, or the treasury was empty.

Now it has turned into a righteous look.

It seems that anyone who disagrees with the expansion of the army is the sinner who caused the destruction of Daxia.

The Minister of Household Affairs came out and said: "To report to the Queen Mother, I also agree with the Prime Minister's statement.

Now my situation in Daxia is very critical.

Almost all the enemy countries have united to deal with Daxia, and the prince is besieged and unable to send troops.

The [-] troops led by Lin Hai were unable to defeat the enemy.

Therefore, we must take precautions and expand the new army as soon as possible. "

"Although what you said makes sense, you can still spare 100 million taels of silver.

But raising this extra army will require a steady stream of money in the future.

Where does this money come from? "

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. As the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, I naturally have to relieve the worries of the court. No matter how difficult it is, I will gather the money to support the army."

The Minister of the Ministry of Finance looked upright and awe-inspiring.

It seems that he has worked hard for the affairs of the court and must overcome all difficulties.

Gong Yanwu was filled with anger. There had been a shortage of food at the border in the past.

They always push back and say they can't come up with the money.

The soldiers at the border even went hungry sometimes.

Nowadays, we need money and people.

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister also agrees!"

Almost half of the ministers stood up.

All support military expansion.

Yugan still closed his eyes and said nothing.

This matter was a dispute between Inuchi and the royal family, and there was no need for him to get involved.

What's more, now Yuhuashi also has the opportunity to control the military.

Families like them only need to support Yuhua Stone.

Although he was kicked out of the house.

But after all, he is also the blood of their family and will always be on their side.

Therefore, no one from these five major families has spoken.

Those censor Qingliu couldn't find a chance to refute.

After all, the border is in a tight situation now, and they are also afraid of the Turks coming over.

Once Daxia is destroyed, all their status will not be preserved.

What's more, the prime minister made it very clear that if we don't expand the army now, once the Turkic army attacks, who can resist it?
Gong Yanwu's heart was extremely angry, and this look was no different from forcing the palace.

Even if they agree to expand their army.

They will definitely use various excuses to keep these [-] troops near the capital instead of sending them to fight at the border.

With these [-] troops surrounding the capital, it was like a sharp sword hanging above their heads.

Wouldn't it be better to let them all do whatever they want.

No matter what, I can't agree, I have to wait for news from the front line.

All hope can only be pinned on Lin Hai.

Hopefully he can create another miracle and defeat [-] cavalry with [-] infantry.

Only by solving the predicament on the front line can we stop the powerful ministers from proposing to expand the army.

Gong Yanwu's face was gloomy, and she gritted her teeth and would never agree to their request.

“Military expansion is not a trivial matter, it involves too many things and must be treated with caution.

You can't make such a random decision! "Gong Yanwu said.

“Your Majesty, this matter is urgent and cannot be delayed any longer.

You must make up your mind today.

As for all matters in the army, the veteran will definitely help solve them. "The prime minister still insisted.

Other ministers also agreed one after another, vowing not to give up until the goal was achieved.

Gong Yanwu was literally being roasted on the fire. If she didn't agree to their request, she might not be able to escape.

"Report, urgent report six hundred miles from the front!"

At this time, a person ran in quickly.

Expedited express reports of more than [-] miles can be entered directly without notification.

Gong Yanwu's heart trembled. There was news so quickly. Could it be that there was bad news?
If Lin Hai is defeated or Lin Tiangui makes a mistake.

I'm afraid the military expansion can no longer be stopped.

The prime ministers looked at each other, and they all looked happy.

Counting the days, no matter how fast Lin Hai led the army, he had just arrived.

It is absolutely impossible to defeat the enemy in such a short time, the bad news is undoubtedly.
