Chapter 1376
"Is the Legion Commander a Huo Wen?" Wenna glanced at the other party strangely, and continued: "The terrain of the Ronda Plateau is high and not suitable for our army to fight head-on. Especially now that the enemy is waiting for work, we still have to cross this mountain, and we do not have the advantage in terms of the number of troops. This battle is probably a tragic ending, which is not very cost-effective. If possible, I would rather use my troops to attract the enemy to set up defenses on the Ronda Plateau, and gather heavy troops to force a breakthrough from Brook Fortress. Now Brook Fortress has only 20,000 troops to defend. If we attack with all our might before the enemy has replenished its troops, I think this might be better."
This alone made Mulige decide to hand over the command of the army to the other party. In Mulige's view, the Tang army can win when attacking the Longda Plateau, but as the other party said, because it is necessary to cross the northern mountains and the other party is waiting for it, this battle may indeed cause considerable losses to the Fourth Legion. However, if this battle is won, it will almost lay the foundation for the victory of the Nan'an battle situation. Under the temptation of such glorious achievements, how many people can maintain rational analysis and take the initiative to hand over such military achievements to the Eighth Legion. Isn't this enough to prove that the other party is fully qualified for this war?
"Brother Wenna said that it's a pity that our Fourth Legion gave up such great achievements to the Eighth Legion?" Mulige asked thoughtfully.
"Winna feels a pity? But Winna can't let the lives of the soldiers be a joke, right? Whether it is the Fourth Legion or the Eighth Legion, our Imperial Army, as long as we can take Nan'an and Western Samoa in one fell swoop, will the Privy Council still be unable to see this battle?" Wenna showed a strange smile on her face, "Brother Mu wouldn't think that the eyes of the right envoy Bo would be so shallow?"
At this time, Mu Lige truly convinced the other party. The saying "Assuming the Spicy" is true when used on the other party. The Fourth Legion will not suffer any loss when handed over to him. I feel relieved, "Winna receives the order!"
Wen Na looked at his boss who took out a volume of documents from his arms in shock. He didn't react for a while, but when he saw his boss's face was solemn, he subconsciously bowed his clothes, knelt down on one knee, and said in confusion: "My friend Wen Na is waiting for the order!"
"According to the recommendation of the Imperial Privy Council, the commander of the Fourth Legion of the Mulige Empire was exempted from being appointed Winner as the commander of the Fourth Legion, and the position of deputy commander was temporarily vacant." The two short sentences were the decree issued by His Majesty the Emperor, who had always liked to be concise, and Mulige took out another much more formal lacquered seal: "The Imperial Privy Council Order: Appoint Winner as the commander of the Fourth Legion of the Imperial Privy Council. 700 years in the mainland Gregorian calendar"
According to the regular regulations of the Empire, the appointment of legion-level officials must be valid only if the emperor’s edict and the imperial Privy Council order are met. The separate appointment of the Imperial Privy Council can only be applied to the appointment of division-level officials.
Seeing that the other party was at a loss, Mulige pulled the other party up and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Wen. Now that the Fourth Legion is handed over to Brother Wen, I can relax. After today, I will not be the commander of the Fourth Legion. After returning to the camp, I will officially announce to the generals that the war between Nan'an and Western Samoa will depend on you, Brother Wen."
Even though Wen Na was so experienced, he couldn't accept it at once. After a while, he said in a daze: "Brother Mu, what is this? Where is Brother Mu going at this time?"
"Brother Wen, don't worry. Lao Mu was also sent a chore by His Majesty the Emperor to take over the 11th Army of the Empire. He will return to the imperial capital to receive the appointment. I don't know how long it will take to part with Brother Wen. It's better to wait until the war is over. Lao Mu will hold a drink for Brother Wen in the imperial capital to celebrate the merits." A trace of gloom flashed in Mu Lige's eyes, and then he showed a cheerful smile.
Just when the Indian-German War and the Southwest War started almost at the same time, Li Wufeng, the well-deserved master of the empire, did not realize how much pressure he would put on the empire's finances by launching two wars almost at the same time. Especially in the navy's unremitting efforts to expand, the imperial finance minister, who had always supported him, couldn't help but feel a little difficult. The huge military expenditure has swallowed up two-thirds of the financial revenue source. And if this trend continues, the military expenditure in the second half of the year will probably continue to increase. This is obviously a bit too much for a newly established empire. At least, as the Prime Minister of the Imperial State Council, Xiao Tang, must have this belief.
"Your Majesty, I have to remind you that your starting point may be good, but your steps are too big. The navy cannot be established overnight. It takes time. In addition, the military allocation of the Indian-German War has exceeded our original settings. According to the agreement, Cui Wenxiu has already figured out a way to solve a considerable amount of the funds himself, but until now, I have not seen any movement in this regard. The cost of the Derlock Legion's dressing is still listed in the military expenditure this quarter.
The same is true for the 10th Legion of the Central Army. In order to take into account the overall situation, I still signed an agreement to allocate funds, but next time I am afraid I will strictly perform my duties." Xiao Tang patiently advised His Majesty, who seemed a little absent-minded, to his Majesty, "Dongtengri should also belong to the Central Continental region. The military expenses of the four Rangers under construction by Luobei are still borne by the imperial finance. If Luobei's Legion joins the Central Continental War, I think Cui Wenxiu should be responsible for raising their military expenses."
Li Wufeng looked at himself, the Prime Minister of the State Council with some amusement. Financial issues are always the focus of debate between the military and political parties. As the arbitrator, he never seemed to have satisfied both parties. The empire launched two wars at the beginning, which was indeed very expensive. Cui Wenxiu seemed to be pretending to be deaf and dumb now, and he was deliberately or unintentionally delaying his advice and requests. The expenses of the Gerok Legion and the 10th Legion should have been solved by Cui Wenxiu himself, but he still wanted the imperial finances to bear. No wonder Xiao Tang was angry, but the news that Cui Wenxiu came back seemed to comfort the Prime Minister who was full of complaints.
"Xiao Tang, here is a request from Cui Wenxiufa. I have been custody for two days. You can see if it is actually mature. If it is appropriate, you can consider the dispatch of officials. If it is not appropriate, you must prepare in advance. After all, I guess this matter will take sooner or later. No matter how the war develops in the future, our interests in this land can only increase but not reduce. This principle should be established." He threw the letter on his desk lightly to Xiao Tang, who was confused. His Majesty the Emperor did not answer his request directly, but instead opened the topic. Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to delay with a delaying strategy?
After receiving the letter in confusion, Xiao Tang browsed with a look of his eyes and said in surprise: "The establishment of an office in East Luzon? Well, it's good news, why not? Of course, there is not much population there, and it's just right to migrate landless farmers from Yanyun and Beiyuan counties to relieve the pressure of the large population and small land in Beiyuan and Yanyun areas."
"What about the two ministries of Pangzhe and Solian? The people and gentry in these two places have strong calls for belonging to the empire. I have suppressed these requirements twice. Recently, there will be aristocratic representatives of the Solian Ministry to visit the imperial capital. It is probably related to this matter. I wonder what you think?" Wu Feng intended to seek Xiao Tang's opinion. The territory of the Indian and German people is different from that of East Luzon. Now he and Hydera still maintain a nominal ally with at least. Although even the Hyderabads themselves have to admit that the Indian and German kingdom has become a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, before this layer of paper is broken, this relationship must continue to be maintained. If you want to change the province and build a county, you have to consider the psychological endurance of the Hyderabads. Wu Feng does not want to make the situation in India and Germany more difficult to control at this time.
"Your Majesty is worried about the reaction of the Hyderabad people, right?" Xiao Tang was extremely interested in taking the two fertile places of the Indian Kingdom as the empire. Once these two places are included in the imperial jurisdiction, it will bring unexpected benefits to the empire's finances, especially the developed gold mining and jade jewelry processing industries in the two places, as well as the slave trading industry that is more profitable than any industry, will become a huge growth point for the empire's tax revenue. However, Xiao Tang is not the Minister of Finance, he is
The Prime Minister of the Empire, he needs to consider not only financial issues, but also needs to stand in a position of taking overall charge of His Majesty the Emperor's worries. "It is indeed not the time to directly manage the empires of these two places. Before the problems of the Hyderabad people are solved, the problems of these two places will affect the whole body. To solve the problems of the Hyderabad people, the situation in the West, India, Germany and South India and Germany must be stabilized. Now it depends on General Cui Wenxiu's performance on the battlefield of India, Germany."
"Indian and German are too big and complicated. Even if Cui Wenxiu has the ability, he is afraid that he will not be able to solve this problem in a short period of time. I plan to hand over the newly formed 11th Legion and Huangfu Tiancheng's Tiger Guard Legion to Cui Wenxiu to enhance our military strength in the Central Continent and stabilize the situation in India and German as soon as possible." Wu Feng's eyes were a little more calm, which made Xiao Tang unable to see through what the emperor was thinking.
