Chapter 737 A broken temple

"Peng Zhongtang, my colleagues, Yang San from Kunming is polite!"

The atmosphere at the Military Affairs Office was a little nervous. One by one, the military affairs ministers, Zhang Jing, walked, looked at Yang Meng with roughly the same but very different eyes. Since Yang Meng walked into the Military Affairs Office, his greetings were also the only voice in the Military Affairs Office. This article was first published by...

"Yangbutang..."

Peng Yunzhang started to speak, but didn't know how to say that Yang Laosan had too much power, and now it is afraid that the emperor will find it difficult to restrain him. Peng Yunzhang still felt unsure of how to treat Yang Laosan, but he couldn't continue to say it after he started. He didn't know what to say.

"Everyone, let's discuss the affairs of the foreigners first! This time, Yang brought only 80,000 troops to serve the king. The militias of the five major commercial ports were basically drained. It was enough for 60,000 troops to defend the capital. The remaining 20,000 troops were fighting against an unknown number of foreigners. Yang was also worried about it!

It is still impossible to use the troops of the capital. The military situation of the foreigners is unknown, so we should still put the safety of the capital first.

Let’s do this! It’s winter now, there are a lot of idle labor in Zhili and Shandong. How about scrambling bravery on the spot? In order to prevent the foreigners from invading the five major commercial ports, we must also collect a group of bravery training there. After the matters in the capital are settled, we will disperse again!"

Yang Meng immediately got 200,000 people into Beijing, but this matter was hidden for a while and could not be hidden for a lifetime. For the sake of the present, he should first fill this big loophole.

Yang Laosan came up and said it was serious, which was in line with his decisiveness and freedom in the comments. However, the military personnel were either civil officials or did not understand military affairs. It was still a bit difficult to let them say something.

"Yangbutang. Will this be a little hasty?"

There is still something to say. Peng Yunzhang didn't speak, Du Han didn't speak, Mu Yin and Bai Wei couldn't stop talking. Nowadays, Han people account for most of the military aircraft. Mu Yin is the representative of Manchu, and Bai Wei is the representative of Mengchen. Mu Yin's words are sophisticated. But the current situation cannot tolerate such sophisticated words.

"Hurried? This is the battle report between Senggelinqin and Sushun. The foreign army in Senggelinqin mentioned tens of thousands of people, and Sushun said there were 50,000 or 60,000. The foreign army was not from other countries, but from the British and French coalition forces. The combat power was comparable to that of the Qing Dynasty's 200,000 or 60,000.

Hurry? I don’t know who this adult’s surname is. Give me a reason to not be hasty!”

He cited Zhang Jing and asked him to bring the battle report. Yang Meng looked at it in a general way and replied to Mu Yin. Although Yang Meng had already identified who was who in terms of age, it was not a good thing to understand too much.

"Mu Yin!"

Apart from reporting a name, Mu Yin really had nothing to say. The British and French coalition forces had brought down two million troops of Russians. It seemed that Yang Laosan's method was good.

"Mu Yin, I understand. You should be Bai Wei, you are Du Han from Master Du's family.

Everyone, Yang is a vulgar martial artist. He is a bit anxious. Let’s discuss things. Don’t take anyone to heart. Now the capital is in danger. Although the militia is equipped with some foreign guns, the number is still far less than that of the British and French coalition forces.

Yang came out of the battlefield, relying on people to fight for guns, only ten of them are less than one person! Senggelinqin's defeat originated from this. Sushun's ability to block the British and French coalition forces seems to be relying on the power of foreign guns!

The 60,000 militia regiment has only more than 20,000 muskets, fighting against the British and French coalition forces for 50,000 or 60,000 people, just blocking the chariot. It is unknown whether Tianjinkou is lost. Once Tianjinkou is lost, the British and French coalition forces will have a territory to fight with us for a long time. This is an urgent matter of recruiting courage!

Peng Zhongtang, this is Yang’s only way to deal with it. If we can’t get through here, we don’t have to bother the emperor. We can only give up on the capital!”

Yang Meng would not know how many guns the new army had prepared. Yang Meng would not know how many times he had made. Yang Meng's statement was reasonable, and even Peng Yunzhang could not find any fault.

"Yangbutang, your words are good, but the court has no money or food. How can we support people after gathering troops? Once the capital has a war, it is better not to recruit brave men than to recruit brave men!"

Although what Yang Laosan said was reasonable, Peng Yunzhang also had a way to deal with it. There was not much money and food in the capital, and the number of people and horses would be restricted. This was the only way to check and balance Yang Laosan.

"Peng Zhongtang, it was not Yang who was exaggerating. Without a skilled woman, it was impossible to cook without rice. If these 60,000 militias could not defend the capital, Yang did not dare to say that it is time for the national crisis to be conquered. The tax assessment method should be used in the capital!

It is easy for us to retreat from the Rehe River. If the foreign devils are angry, slaughter the capital or burn the imperial city, we are sinners!

We don’t care about how much money and food there are in the capital. After all, Zhili and Shandong can still provide some assistance. For the sake of the present, we must keep the British and French forces out of the capital, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

In the crisis, whether it is Peng Yunzhang, Mu Yin, Bai Wei, and Du Han, they have no general understanding of the situation. After Yang Meng said this, the matter will be serious. If the foreign devils burn the imperial city, the people here will be stabbed by the Qing people for the rest of their lives!

Imperial City, although it is not usually conspicuous, this is the symbol of the Qing Dynasty! Without the imperial city, is this Qing Dynasty still the Qing Dynasty? After Yang Meng said this, Peng Yunzhang and others were almost convinced.

"Yangbutang, there are only 10,000 or 20,000 troops around the capital. There are more than 30,000 foreign guns in the capital. The Ministry of Revenue has deposited 3 million taels of silver, and there are about one million stones of grain. This is the capital's family. Is the amount of brave men collected based on money and grain?"

Peng Yunzhang was good at managing finances, and all the things in the capital were in his mind! Speaking this means that Peng Yunzhang agreed with Yang Meng's statement.

"Why don't Yangbutang let the Mongolian kings and the garrison generals from all over the country come to Beijing to serve the king?"

Bai Wei also has something to say. Senggelinqin Zhangjiawan and Baliqiao were defeated in two battles, which greatly lost the momentum of the Mongols. The Mongolian kings still had many soldiers and horses, and they all rely on the Han people, so they would not succeed.

"Well! This statement is good! There is no war in the northwest. Before, Eros also intended to plan our Longxing land. You can gather the money and food from the northwest, so that the garrison generals from all over the country can bring the Eight Banners troops into the capital to serve the king. The same is true for the Mongolian cavalry. The defense in the north still depends on the Mongolian cavalry.

The militia is just temporary. When the king-stricken army from all over the country arrives, it is almost spring. Those are the people, so they should go to farm. During this period, the northwest provinces, Zhili and Shandong will collect money and grain, and prepare to release Beijing!

The Mongolian kings and the garrison generals of the three eastern provinces are preparing their kings to defend the northern borders while defending the British and French forces. Let’s look at the movements of the Russians. If they dare to plot against our Dragon Rising Land, they will kill them!”

These words came from Yang Laosan's mouth, and Yang Laosan became a little confused again. Everyone thought that Yang Laosan's plot was ill-gotten, but his behavior was not similar!

This is the style that loyal ministers and good generals should have. With Yang Meng's confusing face, everyone in the military was confused for a moment.

"Everyone, let's sort out the money and food that can be saved from the northwest and Shandong, Zhili can first remove Beijing! This is related to the amount of brave men we recruited, according to Yang's plan. He just wants to recruit 500,000 brave men, as long as there is enough food and grass, we will wipe out the British and French coalition forces first!"

The amount of 500,000 is too amazing, but Yang Laosan’s previous statement is not bad. The British and French coalition forces had too many foreign guns. If ten to one, 500,000 would be the same.

"Ministry Hall, Shandong has owed more than 2.3 million yuan in silver in the imperial court over the years. In the past two years, Shandong has been in constant famine and has no money and food!

The ministry hall, Zhili owed more than 1.6 million yuan in silver in the imperial court over the years, and the money and grain that could be saved in the capital was more than 100,000 yuan!

The ministry, the five provinces of Yili, Gansu, Shaanxi, Qinghai, owed a total of more than 18 million taels of silver in the court over the years. The four provinces of Gansu, Shaanxi, Qinghai, Qinghai, have suffered a drought this year. A few days ago, all of these four provinces have submitted memorandums to beg for relief grain!”

OK! The seven northern provinces can only save the capital by more than 100,000 taels of money and grain, but they owe the court nearly 20 million taels of silver. This capital is not a place of authority, it is a mess! After listening to Zhang Jing and others' reports, Yang Meng, Peng Yunzhang and others could only sigh.

"Everyone, as far as I know, there are still food and grass to be collected in Jiangnan, but the canal is silted. If you want to solve the capital's money and food, you have to start from Jiangnan!

But the northern provinces cannot calm them down. They owe the court 20 million taels of silver. The court must not fail to pursue it, right? When is it now?

The capital was about to lose its security. Yang believed that the Ministry of Justice could send important members to the Ministry of Justice to join the idle Hanlin officials in the capital to investigate the money and food of various provinces in the northern provinces. If someone was in the national crisis, he would still have to dig up the corners of the court, no matter what his identity or status, he would be searched and destroyed!

The debts of each province, regardless of who is responsibilities, whether the officials are in office or not, are also the same crimes for those involved. The 20 million taels of silver belong to the court, and we always have to come back!"

The bunch of poor monks in the ruined temple is Yang Meng’s opinion on military operations. These people have raised countless corrupt people below due to the situation or favors. Yang Meng has no sympathy for these people. It’s just that war requires money. It’s not a bad thing to sort out the internal finances first!

"Yangbutang, isn't this a bit strict?"

Peng Yunzhang supported this matter, but Yang Laosan's punishment for raiding the family was somewhat over!

"Strict? In Yang Laozi's opinion, they deserve to be damned. They are greedy for money, and their families don't eat or drink? Since they have eaten and drunk, they are the same crime! There is no benefit to kill them all, so let's do it! All males are beheaded, and women of the right age are used as official prostitutes, so that they can pay their money and debts!

Now that the capital is about to be lost, the Qing Dynasty is at a critical moment of life and death, Yang Laozi's meaning is simple. At this time, whoever digs the corner of the court, Yang Laozi will dig his ancestral tomb!

If the capital is not protected, we have to finish the game. I brought my family to Beijing to serve the king. I don’t want the whole family to die in the capital. Even if I want to die, I have to send them to die first!

That's all right? Do you have any other opinions? If not, let's go to the Yangxin Temple to ask for an order?

This broken temple single pointing to the paste will not be able to withstand the wind and rain. If you don’t make up your mind, it will be difficult to change the crisis. You all need to prepare for it!"

The vicious Yang Laosan is a loyal minister in the eyes of everyone! If it were a treacherous minister who would play with this attentively, it seems that the emperor's trustworthiness still makes sense.

Several military aircraft agreed with Yang Meng's words. The military aircraft in high positions are different from the people below. They have their own way of wealth and do not touch their hands. How could they know the suffering of those who make fire and cook below?

Some people and some things can only be understood literally. Yang Laosan's performance is pretty good. In a short period of time, Yang Meng used a bluffing face and spoke ruthless words to convince the military officials. Following Yang Laosan to revive the Qing Dynasty, it became the idea of ​​these people.

It is not that Peng Yunzhang, Mu Yin, Bai Wei, Du Han and others are innocent, but that Yang Laosan's power is very convincing. He has absolute suppression ability for Zeng Zuo in Jiangnan. Zeng Zuo bows his head and adds 100,000 troops from the five major commercial ports. Yang Laosan has 200,000 elite troops in his hands, and the hand is printed into the military aircraft. Yang Laosan is now the prime minister, the prime minister with military power. As long as Yang Laosan is devoted to the sake of the Qing Dynasty, Peng Yunzhang and others can support him.
