While talking, he looked a little embarrassed, and at the same time shook his head and sighed.
Bi Maokang couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
So, Emperor Chongzhen heard the eunuch report again that the Minister of Revenue Bi Ziyan came to ask for an audience again.
"..." Emperor Chongzhen was speechless, but naturally he would not refuse, so he asked Bi Ziyan to meet again.
As soon as Bi Ziyan entered the hall gate and saluted again, he told Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I heard that the new army is about to set sail, but it is probably difficult to collect all the military supplies for a while. There is another thing, firearm training consumes a lot of money and food. If Your Majesty still wants to train the new army as the firearm army, the Ministry of Revenue will not be able to provide it."
Indeed, if the firearms army wants to meet the combat standards of the new army, the gunpowder consumed for training will not be a small amount. The finances of the court were mostly rootless water, and the money obtained from the house search last year was only so much. Although the seeds of the source of money had been planted, they are still just seedlings, and it is not time to bloom and bear fruit. Bi Ziyan's words cannot be unreasonable.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen frowned and thought for a while, then said to Bi Ziyan: "The matter of reorganizing the new army is the top priority. Only in this way can our Ming army have combat power. Therefore, the matter of reorganizing the new army cannot be delayed one day. As for the source of money and food, I will find a way!"
Bi Ziyan was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he could not object. If the emperor could find money, he would not object. So this time, he finally left the palace and did not return.
Emperor Chongzhen sat on the imperial throne, fell into deep thought, quietly thinking about where the money and food came from?
After thinking about it all over the southeast, northwest and north, his eyes finally lit up, and he entered the chat group, clicked the icon of Man Jianghong, and asked in private: "Do you have any eyebrows on the other side of Dongwu?"
Man Jianghong is the King of Tang. At this time, he was in Yunnan, and together with the imperial envoy and the cabinet assistant Min Hongxue, recruiting military training to attack Dongwu.
Hearing the emperor's voluntary questioning, the King of Tang did not dare to be negligent and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the King of Dongwu seems to be different from the King of Dongwu before. It seems to have a respite and rest, and is quite supported by the people of Dongwu. Master Min Ge thought that the sooner the battle of Dongwu, the better. Once the wait time is too long, King of Long has gained a foothold and won the support of all subjects, the war will be difficult to fight!"
In the original history, after King Talong seized the throne, he did begin to recuperate. He moved the capital to Awa, rectified the administration, appointed talents, rectified and strengthened the Ahmudan organization, investigated and registered the national population and land, reformed the administrative system, strengthened centralization, utilized and controlled religious forces, encouraged farming, developed production, encouraged childbirth, and expanded population, which greatly improved Donggo's national strength. It once again showed political stability and economic prosperity and development under the rule of the Tou Dynasty.
If such a situation occurs and the Ming Dynasty attacks again, it will indeed become difficult to fight.
"But now, I have only completed the recruitment of the first batch of soldiers. I have to train and invest in the attack on Togo, and I have to be prepared for at least a few years." The Tang King continued to chat with him privately, "I'm afraid Donggo is not easy to fight!"
