Although several ministers impeached Qin Lang, one charge after another.

But when Emperor Li Shimin discussed privately with his absolute confidant brother-in-law Changsun Wuji, he did not take these at all. No matter how others impeached or what the charges were, Li Shimin had that confidence that Qin Lang had not escaped control and could not resist him. Qin Lang might be a bit radical and violated the rules in his work, but based on his recent performance and contributions, these are nothing.

A wise emperor not only needs a minister who is diligent, loyal and obeys the rules, but also needs a minister who is strong in his ability to do things regardless of the details. Even a minister like Wei Zheng who is strong in his mouth also needs it.

Every minister has his own uses. It is impossible for the emperor to govern the country and the court with just one person.

Generals are needed on the battlefield, civil servants are needed in the local area, and clerks are needed in the village.

"I also think that at least 100,000 troops are needed, and at least three groups of troops are divided into attacks. Send troops from both Longyou and Hexi at the same time. If you don't fight, you must hit the key points, and once and for all." Li Shimin stared at the territory, and Tuyuhun has now become a rival that Li Shimin urgently needs to solve.

By destroying Tuyuhun, the Tang Dynasty could re-enter the Western Regions, restore the prosperity of the Silk Road, and start to solve the potential threat problem of the Western Turks.

"Your Majesty, the court cannot send out a hundred thousand army now, and the treasury cannot supply it."

Changsun Wuji had to remind the emperor of a realistic problem. The dispatch of a large army of 100,000 people not only means recruiting 100,000 young and strong laborers, but also means that at least more than 300,000 people of civil servants must be mobilized.

The 400,000-strong young man was a very valuable civilian power for the Tang Dynasty after the disaster. Especially considering the direction of the war, the recruited troops and civilians may be recruited from Guanzhong, Jiannan, Longyou, and these places are the places where the disasters are the most serious and urgently needed to be recovered in recent years.

It is also the most crowded place.

Even if the 400,000 people are only requisitioned for half a year, it means that they will delay a season of farming. This loss will be very huge and so great that the court now cannot bear.

In this regard, Qin Lang's plan was better than the court, because he had a total of only 27,000 towns, and Qin Lang planned to use these 27,000 border troops to build military camps and send troops only after the spring sowing of the military farm was over.

The 27,000 combat soldiers may only be dispatched, and the maximum is no more than 20,000 troops. Longyou can still support the 20,000 troops.

As for the auxiliary soldiers, if the troops are sent after the spring sowing is over and can be guaranteed to end within three months, then it will not delay the spring plowing or the summer harvest.

The troops of this scale are under much less pressure in the supply and transportation of food and grass.

The most critical issue is that the March deadline is a date that the imperial court dares not say.

Even Li Shimin dared to say that he would dare to destroy Tuyuhun within three months with just the tens of thousands of troops in Longyou. A head-on decisive battle can only be a small number of opportunities for the enemy, not to mention that Fu Yun would never give a chance to the head-on decisive battle. That old guy must be able to play the tactic of you going forward and backward and backward and disturbing you.

"Your Majesty, will Qin Lang be recalled to avoid him from making trouble just in case?"

Li Shimin also knew that several plans to break Tuyuhun planned by the imperial court's Ministry of War were all based on three years of preparation. Three years later, the troops were divided into 150,000 to 200,000, and the troops were divided into three to five groups to attack, destroying Tuyuhun in one fell swoop.

This plan is stable, but it is too stable. Stable means high consumption and high cost.

Li Shimin didn't want to wait for three years, nor did he want to spend more than destroying the Eastern Turks, but now he doesn't have the ability to fight.

He knew Qin Lang's plan very well, and felt that he was bold and risky, but it made people inevitably have some expectations. If he really won, it would be great. It could squeeze out a few years of precious time for the Tang Dynasty and save a lot of key expenses.

Li Shimin wanted to take a gamble and bet on Qin Lang, but hesitated.

"Let's take a look first."

In the end, Li Shimin still said this. Next, he ignored the impeachment memorials of Tang Jian, Zheng Yuanshu, and Hou Junji, and even asked Hou Junji to suspend his work in the Political Affairs Hall. This move has caused countless speculations in the court and the country.

Because Hou Junji was ordered by the emperor to go to Longyou Xuan to comfort the soldiers, he impeached Qin Lang several serious crimes after he came back. As a result, Qin Lang is still moving, but instead he was poured cold water on like this.

The emperor's unexpected move immediately made the censors of the Censorate and the censors of the disciples hesitate to watch.

Next, the emperor did not have any intention of Qin Lang or Longyou. Everything was quiet and calm.

Hou Junji, who was poured with cold water, stayed in the Ministry of War, and was busy discussing merits and rewarding the soldiers of Longyou.

·······

No matter what, the emperor's cold treatment method was to let Xue Wanche and Duan Zhixuan and others in Longyou no longer have any worries, while Qin Lang and Cheng Yaojin and others worked harder.

Qin Lang was promoting his plan with all his strength under the banner of Xihai Road, Longyou Xuanfu Envoy, and Diezhou Governor's Office.

The whole of Longyou was in full bloom.

The New Year just passed and the spring was chilly, but Longyou started working very enthusiastically.

The nine towns of the army on Longyou were carefully selected to supplement the troops and quickly formed combat weaving to train against the wind and snow. The auxiliary soldiers were also selected and reorganized. They were basically required during wartime, and they were divided into battalions and organized for training.

Logistics and food are also fully raised.

Qin Lang personally organized several mobilization meetings and investment promotion meetings, mobilizing the gentry, powerful landlords and merchants from various prefectures in Longyou to raise funds, and on the other hand, they organized loan activities.

Also engaged in investment.

Merchants have encountered such pre-war investment promotion for the first time. They originally thought it was just a fundraising and levy, but when they arrived, they found out that it was a real investment promotion. They took out a detailed investment promotion plan, recruiting various military suppliers, various spoil contractors, etc., and even military transportation contractors.

Not only did it be said in detail, it also directly stated how to cooperate and win each other, how businessmen cooperate, how to make money, and how much expected profits are.

The merchants are smart and carefully calculated. This is the case. The data above are definitely not written randomly by writing essays, but they are well-founded.

For example, the seized cattle, horses and livestock are classified by public recruitment of contractors, cattle, horses, mules, donkeys, sheep, camels, etc., and the merchants can be exclusive contractors or joint contractors. For example, a business directly eats the contractors that seized horses, and then the horses seized by the Longyou Army are sold directly to them, and the price has been given a suggested price, and of course, we can also discuss it in detail.

There must be a good room for profit for merchants. All merchants need to do is to pay a deposit first when competing for this qualification.

In addition, based on the estimate, the Longyou Army will first advance a sum of money to sell horses to the merchants for military purposes.

In fact, it means that the Longyou Army wrote a blank check. Before the battle started, there was no way to start the seizure. He sold the horse first and obtained a deposit and a sum of horse money.

This approach is indeed unprecedented.

Qin Lang also contacted several major banks to discuss loans with banks. In addition, he also wanted to issue a small war bond to the people of Longyou. Everyone could voluntarily subscribe. This one-year bond is actually equivalent to a loan, with an agreed interest and a repayment of principal and interest in one year.

Qin Lang took the money he got and recruited various suppliers, such as grain, salt, etc., which can be exclusive or joint supply. Anyway, the suppliers must pay a deposit first, and then agree on the accounting period, supply first, and then settle the payment.

There are even outsourced contractors such as transportation, who are responsible for transporting the military supplies required by the Longyou Army or seized spoils to designated locations to reduce the burden on the Longyou Army.

Qin Lang had a great idea of ​​all these things, and the merchants were also amazed.

I have to say that if other people dared to do this, and not talk about anything else, the court would never allow it to happen first. But now the emperor's attitude makes this matter openly proceeding in Longyou.

Qin Lang's personal reputation, especially his famous reputation just made in the battles of Longyou, and his excellent relationship with merchants, has won the praise of many merchants.

Businessmen who are good at speculation have seen high profits after high risks and have joined the plan one after another, competing with various partners, contractors and suppliers.

The bond issuance is also very popular, but as a result, several batches of issuances were printed and raised money far exceeding the estimate. In addition, the taxes paid by various states temporarily were deducted, Qin Lang easily solved the most important problem of money and grain.

Then problems such as weapons, transportation, and spoil handling were solved easily.

Because he had enough money and food, Qin Lang even signed in advance to withdraw a settlement fee and a ticket fee, as well as a luggage fee.

The border army of Jiuzhen, with more than 20,000 soldiers, had already received three rewards before they even started fighting. In addition, Qin Lang also signed contracts with many merchants and ordered a lot of clothes, shoes, socks, dry food for the border army, which made the new army of Jiuzhen excited like chicken blood.

Qin Lang also made a lot of promises to the border troops in the Nine Towns. Everyone was attracted by the wonderful prospects. They were all ready to train hard, just want to start the war earlier, destroy Tuyuhun earlier, and then get the promised rewards and promotions earlier.

The Longyou Light Cavalry Survey also continued to go deep into Tuyuhun to detect the enemy situation. The Pacification Department took the initiative to find cooperation to provide more secret information for the camp.

The spring breeze blows, and the war drums beat.

In the blink of an eye, March is coming.

The sky in Longyou is still very cold, but tens of thousands of border troops are already eager to sow spring seeds and complete the spring sowing mission of the military garrison in advance.

"Our Longyou was deeply invaded by Tuyuhun last time. In Taozhou, the three-day massacre, more than 10,000 people died tragically. The defeat of the Min army in Hequ was defeated and more than 20,000 people were defeated. Such blood feuds will be restored by our Longyou soldiers personally, and we will never use others to deal with it!"

"Arevenge will be repaid, and blood debt will be paid for blood!"
