Chapter nine hundred and seventy-six: a showdown

Chen Yixing's meaning is safe, but it seems extremely ambiguous.

He did not seem to strongly object, but believed that this matter should be cautious and should find a way to determine whether it is feasible, rather than being completely afraid of the war.

Of course, this is related to his personality.

It also has something to do with his identity.

Since Chen Yixing is now in charge of the affairs of the royal family, on the other hand, he is supervising the logistics of the Warriors Camp.

Now that the court wants to establish a new army, he is in charge of the Ministry of War, as the prince. Of course, the Ministry of War is mainly responsible for the merit examination and logistics management of the entire new army. In fact, his supervision of the Ministry of War is like Chen Kaizhi back then, the royal family assisted in certain affairs, and he is very skilled in these matters, so to some extent, it is not just a simple assistance. Many times, Chen Yixing guided the Ministry of War.

Because of their deep relationship with the army, even for the new army, many military officers were transferred from the Warriors' camp, which means that Chen Yixing had a very good understanding of them.

Unlike other officers and soldiers, the people who came out of the Warriors camp were more eager for military achievements and never feared war. This time, the pacification of Xiliang was an excellent opportunity for them.

Now, tens of thousands of people have started training in the newly established new army for two months. Although they are still unfamiliar, both military officers and instructors have formulated reasonable methods. Therefore, although many new recruits have joined the new army and many of their skills are not yet proficient, after all, the training is extremely harsh after the new army enters the battalion. Two months is enough to be explicitly prohibited, and it is generally possible to maintain formation and shoot.

What's more, even if the war begins, it will be a few months later. The new army is full of confidence. At this time, Chen Yixing must not pour cold water on the new army at this time, otherwise... he would have to be stabbed to death by Xu Jie and others in secret.

On the other hand, in order to ensure the supply of the military, the Jibei Manufacturing Bureau has manufactured a large number of muskets, cannons and gunpowder. In addition to these ammunition involving core skills, most of the military supplies are purchased in workshops in Zijibei.

For example, military kettle, new army's humiliation, tents, medicines, military uniforms and boots, and armed belts.

Since the establishment of the New Army, many workshops that received orders have started work almost day and night, and each of them is full of energy.

Many merchants earn a lot of money with huge amounts of military spending every year. There are nearly a hundred large-scale commercial banks that make profits from the upstream to the downstream, including ship manufacturing and large-scale commercial banks.

Everyone understands the principle of gold being ten thousand taels when the cannon fires. But now, this gold is a huge profit from countless large businesses.

Therefore, among merchants, the desire to fight the West was also extremely strong.

Many merchants have their own printing workshops.

Originally, these printed workshops mostly produced some idle books or recorded some current texts, but in Jibei, many people were willing to read them, which became a time-honored entertainment.

But because of the wishes of merchants, many current publications seemed to have begun to show signs of instigating the Western Expedition. After reading this, in Jibei, the desire for the Western Expedition began to become stronger and stronger.

For Chen Yishou, he is now a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and he has summarized the military and political affairs of the states in the world. However, Chen Yixing relies more on Jibei and considers it from the perspective of the new army.

At this point, whether it was the businessmen and civilians in Jibei or the officers and soldiers of the new army, they had such strong intentions, and it was inevitable that the war would start. Although Chen Yixing later, this war was related to the fate of the country, he also knew that this vast trend was irresistible.

He took a deep breath and continued, "I think that things should be considered at the worst. If Your Majesty intends to use troops, he must consider it. Faced with the problem of 600,000 Hu people and hundreds of thousands of Xiliang soldiers, then I dare to ask Your Majesty, Da Chen, how sure can you win? If you can't win, then wait until the court trains 200,000 elite soldiers and prepares for the troops, and then fight against the male and female."

Chen Kaizhi nodded. Chen Yixing was already a pro-war faction, but even the pro-war faction was still so cautious. Obviously, these 600,000 cavalry, plus hundreds of thousands of Xiliang officers and soldiers, were enough to make Chen's civil and military officials frightened at this time.

Chen Kaizhi's fingers gently tapped the desk, and the sound of knuckles bumping echoed gently in the hall where the needles could be heard.

Everyone looked at Chen Kaizhi carefully.

Chen Kaizhi's last eyes suddenly flashed: "The Xiliang Kingdom colluded with the barbarians, and it was no longer forbidden to heaven and earth. I had already issued a letter of nationality before. If I remain silent at this time, then... what would you think of me? What would the people think of me? What would the countries in the world view me?"

"No, I asked these questions, it is definitely not a battle of intent. I just want to know, when King Wu defeated Zhou, did he ever think that King Zhou still had tens of thousands of powerful soldiers? Or, when Emperor Gaozu of Han won the world, he would be trembling because the King of Chu was powerful and dare not fight with him? I believe that they must be worried, they would even be afraid and timid, but why are they?"

"This is because King Zhou is tyrannical, and because King Chu slaughtered Guanzhong, the world looked at him; because of this, they stood up and returned to the world, and achieved great things."

"For hundreds of years, the Hu people have been invading the borders of our six countries for many years. They have been killing countless soldiers, civilians and people. This is a feud. Now that Xiliang has colluded with the Hu people, the power of the Hu people has completely entered the Han area. The Xiliang national army is shameless, and we still sit idly and ignore it and discuss here whether it is a war or a peace, is there some inappropriateness?"

"Since the puppet emperor of Xiliang has become a son emperor, this... is not tolerated by all countries. I am the emperor of the Great Chen, who was educated by Confucius and Mencius, and followed the heavens. In addition to reviving the Great Chen, what I also shoulder is the responsibility of defending Confucianism and Taoism and promoting our great Han Dynasty. If I retreat today, then... from now on, I have no face to worship my ancestors, and no face to see the world."

Chen Kaizhi glanced and took a deep breath: "What Chen Qing family said is right. It is very disadvantageous to send troops at this time; what the emperor said is also good, so you must be careful and careful, be cautious and cautious. But I think there is another account in addition to this, and I have not calculated it clearly."
