Chapter forty-ninth stretched

I pushed it hard, and I added another chapter to the list at 12 o'clock in the evening, and there was a huge amount of essence released. Readers who wanted the essence can receive it at that time.

—————————————————————————————

After An Suiga went down, the ministers began to discuss, some were in charge of the war, and some were in charge of peace, and finally they had the upper hand. At present, the confrontation between the front line and the Chen Dynasty was finally settled. If the Great Zhou went to war with the Turks, they would not have the confidence to win. If there was a mistake, there would be danger of destruction of the country.

It was just that silk, porcelain and other things were easy to deal with. In the past, when Zhou and Qi were together, the two families had to take out 100,000 pieces of silk, more than 100,000 pieces of porcelain, and millions of kilograms of pig iron for the Turks every year. Now the Great Zhou has destroyed Qi, and it is not difficult to take out more materials, but it is difficult for the beauty to do. Emperor Tianyuan's sister has already married, and the princess is only a few years old. The emperor has clearly expressed his unwillingness to follow the king of Han Zhaojun, and selected the beauties from the palace to marry the Turks. The rest can only be found at the home of the prince Yungui.

Although the Turks were powerful in military affairs, they were tantamount to the prosperity of the Central Plains. Who would like to marry the Turks from afar and suffer? Everyone immediately pushed them. No one family could find a woman to marry the Turks. There was no result when the agreement was almost dark.

Yang Tian and his group took twice as much time as usual to return to the city. When they arrived at the Duke of Sui Guo’s Mansion, it was already dark and they happened to meet Yang Jian and were still in the morning.

Yang Jian's face was exhausted. After receiving the news that the Turkic invaded the border, Emperor Xuan of Zhou still did not stop having fun. Most of the government affairs fell on Yang Jian, suppressing Yang Jian to the point of breath. It would be good if Zheng Yi, Liu Fang and others did not cause trouble.

Seeing Yang Tian come back, Yang Jian was a little surprised: "What are you doing when you come back?"

Yang Tian hurriedly said: "My father, the child came back to ask to lead the Xuanlong army to fight against the Turks."

"Not sure, this matter is still undecided, so you will get the turn to interrupt."

"Father, every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. The child is already the general of the cavalry in the court, so he can naturally care about the major affairs of the court."

Yang Jian looked at the eldest son in surprise. Yang Tian still had childishness on his face, but he had a firm face. He sighed in his heart that his son had grown up: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country, well, this sentence is right."

Yang Tian blurted out just now, but now he remembered that this sentence seemed to be said by Mr. Gu in the late Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect that he would take it out in advance.

Seeing that the eldest son and husband were back, Dugu was extremely happy and hurriedly walked up: "You father and son are really talking in the yard and still quickly enter the hall."

Yang Jian smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, and had to go into the living room with Yang Tian and drove all the servants in the hall down. After Yang Jian told the story of today in the court. If it were in the past, Yang Jian would only discuss these things with Dugu. At this time, he felt that his eldest son had grown up and that when he should be allowed to participate in court affairs, he would let Yang Tian listen together.

Although Yang Tian had the experience of a second life, he was just a small person in his previous life. He could not participate in major national affairs and was often angry about the government's diplomatic weakness. He heard that the Great Zhou actually accepted such harsh conditions of the Turks, so he almost jumped up: "My father, I must never agree to the Turks' requests. This is a capital enemy."

Yang Jian snorted: "Who doesn't know that the tribute in the court is the enemy, and if this is the beginning, the annual tribute will inevitably be paid. Maybe the Turks will also count the tributes of Qi in the past on the Great Zhou, but their strength is not as strong as others and they are reluctant to give up their mere property and women. Should they wait until the Turks attack the city before they can destroy their country?"

Yang Tianran is now a high-ranking official in the court, so he will naturally not be as passionate and impulsive as he was when he was young in his previous life. If the Great Zhou Dynasty was defeated, not to mention wealth, beauty, and the lives of ordinary people were not guaranteed, the fate of those high-ranking officials in the court would be even more miserable. The family that had been passed down for hundreds of years might be killed and the tribe was destroyed, and the wife and daughter became Turkic toys or even prostitutes. Naturally, no one was willing to take the risk of fighting with the Turkic.

The Turks had to attack the city on the front line of the Great Zhou. Now the Great Zhou had to fight, but the court did not respond. It was too unreasonable: "My father, he wanted to negotiate peace with the Turks, at least he had to let the Turks stop the war on the front line first. Otherwise, when the Turks really arrived at the city of Chang'an, the money they wanted would probably be more open and would be more likely to be given money. The Turks would not retreat. After all, the money they obtained by capturing Chang'an was far more than the money they asked for."

Yang Jian smiled bitterly and said, "The Turks are arrogant and arrogant. They deliberately want to defeat the Great Zhou. Before they get the wealth given to the Great Zhou, the Turks will not stop their troops."

Yang Tian was even more puzzled and said in a questioning tone: "Since that's the case, why not send reinforcements to the front line? Do you really have to wait until the Turks attack the city of Chang'an?"

Yang Jian was very dissatisfied and glared at Yang Tian: "Zhudifa, are you talking to me as a son or as a general of the cavalry?"

Yang Tian realized that he had lost his composure just now. Whether as a son or as a general of the cavalry, he could not be unreasonable in front of Yang Jian. Dugu quickly tried to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, of course he is your son, you can beat the ground, apologize to your father."

"Sir, I'm sorry, the child has lost his composure."

Yang Jian's tone became bleak: "You think you don't want to send troops to rescue me as a father, but there is really no one to send."

Yang Tian opened his mouth wide and after destroying Qi, the population of the Great Zhou surged to nearly 40 million and had at least one million soldiers. How could he reach the point of no soldiers to be sent to the point of facing the 100,000 Turks' army?

Seeing Yang Tian shook his head, Yang Jian said one by one: "The Great Zhou is known to have a million soldiers, but most of them are the garrison soldiers stationed in various places, and the prefectures and counties. These people are both soldiers and farmers. There are only two troops that can be mobilized at will. One is the government soldiers, a total of twenty-four governments, fifty thousand people, and the other is more than 30,000 palace guards and imperial guards. The emperor will not send them out. In addition to your Xuanlong Army, there are three troops in Chang'an, with a total of more than 8,000 people. The rest are on the front line of the Yangtze River. The distant water cannot relieve the nearby fire. Even if it can be transferred back, the emperor may use it to strengthen the city defense in Chang'an and will never be sent to the front line."

Yang Tian was stunned. Although he took over the Xuanlong Army, he had to take over the time and did not know much about the military system of the Great Zhou. Unexpectedly, the military strength of the Great Zhou reached such a shortage. If Emperor Wu was there, he would definitely lead the army to fight in person when he heard the enemy attack. With 30,000 imperial guards and 8,000 prefecture soldiers, plus the troops in the capital and state soldiers that could be conquered along the way, it would not be difficult to gather 100,000, or even hundreds of thousands of troops. Naturally, there was no need to be afraid of the Turkish army.
