Seeing Qin Feng frowning, Min Ruoxi couldn't help but say, "Otherwise, I'll write a letter to my second brother. If the Qi people really attack us, please send troops to help. As long as the Chu army in the eastern region attacks with all its might, the Qi people will be under great pressure and the attack on us will inevitably be reduced."

Qin Feng looked at Min Ruoxi gratefully, reached out to hold his wife's hand, but shook his head firmly. His wife and Min Ruoxi had already broken up. This time, for his sake, he was willing to bow to her second brother. With Min Ruoxi's temperament, it was really difficult for her.

"No, no need." Qin Feng said: "If the Qi people are trying their best to attack our Ming Dynasty, as long as the Chu people understand the cold lips, they will definitely send troops to help themselves. If they want to sit and watch us fight, both sides will be injured, then it will be useless for you to write a letter."

Guo Jiuling nodded on the side and said, "Your Majesty is very true. Besides, Luo Liang is the one who is in charge of the eastern border army now. This person has no good feelings for me, the Ming Dynasty. Min Ruoying relies heavily on him and expects Chu to send troops to restrain Qi's troops. Judging from the information I got from Chu, the people of Chu are probably already in a state of renovation. They have been fighting with Qi for several years, and the country is exhausted. The rich foundation left by the previous emperor is afraid that there is not much left. It is rare to have such a breathing opportunity. They will definitely not agree to our request."

Min Ruoxi sighed lightly. Since her eldest brother died at the hands of her second brother, she had already understood that personal family affection was really nothing in the face of national affairs. Even if she was willing to bow her head, her second brother might not agree. Even if her second brother would agree, the ministers under him might not agree.

"It is better to ask the Qin people than to ask for the State of Chu." Qin Feng pondered for a moment, "Now we have a good relationship with the Qin people, and they have always relied on the grain, steel and other strategic materials we provide. Both sides have conflicts of interests. If we are defeated by the Qin people, they will only feel more painful. I will write a letter to Deng Pu and Xiao Qiang, asking Qin to send troops at that time. As long as Xiao Qiang attacks from Hulao Pass, Qin and Ming will jointly fight against Qi, and they will be able to curb the Qi people's offensive."

Guo Jiuling nodded: "Your Majesty's words are extremely true. Xiao Qiang is now intending to set up his own business and have something to ask for us. If we come to the door, he will definitely agree quickly. It is not necessary for them to take it seriously and just take it on the battlefield, but only if he takes the attacking posture, it will be enough to relieve us a lot of pressure."

Qin Feng stood up, paced back and forth in the yard for a few steps, raised his head, and showed a firm look on his face: "Requesting foreign aid is just to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The most fundamental thing is still us. Although our Ming Dynasty was founded, its foundation has always been unstable, and internal and external troubles are coming together. To truly make our Ming Dynasty stand on the side of the tiger and wolf neighbor, the most fundamental thing is to rely on our own strength. Then this battle is our real battle to determine the tripod. If we win this battle, the Ming Dynasty will overcome the biggest difficulties and will have no problems from now on."

Speaking of this, he smiled and looked at Min Ruoxi: "Even if I lose, is the situation worse than when we first arrived in Qianyue four years ago? At that time, I had only more than 600 defeated soldiers and soldiers, and my armor was not in place, and I gathered in the mountains and forests. So, I can afford to fail. At least, I have much more room for maneuver now than at that time, and there are so many more cards I can play in my hand than at that time."

"I will win this battle in the Ming Dynasty." Guo Jiuling also agreed loudly. In fact, he, who has been so sophisticated for a long time, knew that Qin Feng said this to comfort Min Ruoxi. Qin Feng was indeed too weak at that time, but the enemies he faced were far different. Even if Qin Feng first showed his throne later, in the eyes of the great country, it was just a chess piece that could be used. Qin Feng also took advantage of this mentality between countries and walked out of a spacious avenue in the cracks.

But now, it is very different. No matter which country, Qin Feng has placed him on an equal footing with them, and the two sides are still in a narrow way. If Qin Feng had only encountered a few fingers of his opponent, this time, the opponent would do his best to pounce on him. The storm that the Ming Dynasty wanted to face was not of the same level as before.

The danger this time is greater than ever before. The Ming Dynasty had to deal with two wars at the same time, one of which was the attack of Qi, a giant whose national strength was far stronger than that of the Ming Dynasty.

It was late at night, but Qin Feng's study was still brightly lit. From the afternoon, the important officials of the Ming Dynasty such as Zuo Prime Minister Quanyun, Huo Guang of the Ministry of War, Su Kairong of the Ministry of Revenue and other Ming Dynasty gathered here to discuss how to deal with the dangerous situation faced this time.

"Although Qi is big, the key to this battle is not how we deal with the attack of Qi." Qin Feng looked at his important officials, "but when we can pacify the four counties in the north. If we can destroy the barbarians in the four counties in the north with lightning speed, then our troops will be able to go out to deal with the attack of Qi. Not to mention defeating them, we only need to fight a lasting war of attrition with them and withstand the opponent's attack. The first one to surrender will not be us, but Qi will inevitably be."

"Your Majesty said very well." Zuo Prime Minister Quan Yun nodded affirmatively: "The reason why Qi dared to move troops to us is to see that the rebellion in the four counties in the north will cause us to be troubled, especially the possible rebellion of Li Wei, Ge Xiang and others in Zhengyang will cause the Zhengyang gate to open up. If this treacherous plan is successful, the barbarian soldiers will inevitably sweep across Zhengyang and attack Shayang with Qi people. If the two forces gather together, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger. However, the Tianxun Congratulations of the Eagle Nest was successful, allowing us to know in advance the instability of Li Wei Ge Xiang and others, so that we can deal with it in advance. Then we will be 70% or 80% sure to win this battle."

He turned to look at Guo Jiuling, "Master Guo, I want to apologize to you. I opposed the plan at the beginning of the Condor Hell's plan, because the investment was too great, but the reward seemed to be slight. Especially when I lost Prince Wu Jing of the Maeyue, I disagreed with it. Now it seems that it is fortunate that this plan is here, otherwise Li Weigexiang and the other two would definitely have severely damaged me."

Before Guo Jiuling could answer, Huo Guang on one side also smiled and bowed: "I also want to apologize to Commander Guo. In order to make the eagle grow, the Eagle Nest planned to make the eagle more meritorious. For this reason, our Ming army had to pay some price and shed a lot of blood for it. At the beginning, I thought that these blood was simply flowing for no reason. Now it seems that everything is worth it. Those small losses are simply incomparable to the great victory we are about to win."

The two important officials apologized at the same time, which made Guo Jiuling feel a little embarrassed. He stood up and bowed and bowed: "My lords, in fact, the Condor Heroes' plan can play such a great role, which I didn't expect. It can only be said that it was a mistake. Our initial idea was just to make the Condor Heroes famous in Yan State and have a certain status so that after we wiped out the barbarians in the future, he could enter Qi State. With a reputation and status, he would be able to get a relatively good position in Qi State. Now that he has such gains, I am inexplicably surprised. I am not afraid to be my apology from all of you."

When everyone heard him say this, they burst into laughter.

"From now on, the country will become nervous." Qin Feng looked at everyone, "Carry a national mobilization, all the ongoing projects will be suspended, and everything will make way for the war. Huo Guang, all the field troops will enter the wartime state, the county and county soldiers will gather, recruit reserve soldiers, and prepare for the war."

"As for your order, Your Majesty." Huo Guang nodded.

"Ministry of Works." Qin Feng turned his head to look at Ge Qingsheng, "All military workshops are fully producing all kinds of military ordnances, recruiting civilians and sending them to various troops, and are twice the configuration of wartime standards. In addition to the expected military rations, a considerable amount of dry food, jerky meat and other items must be prepared to prepare for the army's emergencies."

"Yes!" Ge Qingsheng answered his order.

"The Imperial Medical Office, Shu Fengzi, immediately recruited the imperial physicians and medical officers and apprentices from all counties and all levels to all armies, and equipped them with herbs. They should prepare them well. A good medical officer can reduce casualties for our soldiers. The Imperial Medical Officer is assigned to various field camps. I believe that it can also make the soldiers' fighting will be stronger."

Shu Chang was rarely smiling and nodded.

"The Department of Commerce, from now on, will dominate the workshops to which it belongs. The caravans operate with the materials needed for war, and will also guide private merchants to purchase what we urgently need, such as knife wound medicine, etc.."

"As for your order, Your Majesty!" Wang Yueyao nodded slightly.

"Mr. Su, the Ministry of Revenue, this time, I'm afraid I'll emptiate the treasury again." Qin Feng looked at Su Kairong with a smile, "But this time you have to be generous. Military pay and silver rewards, and a cent of money cannot be reduced. If it is not enough, let Su Can open a seal for me."

"In the past year, the treasury has saved some surplus. If you use Changlong Bank, Taiping Bank will borrow some of it from the private sector and print paper money indiscriminately, it will probably have adverse consequences." Su Kairong said.

Qin Feng laughed: "If we win this battle, we will make a lot of money. If we lose, we will collapse. Is it related?"

Su Kairong was stunned, understood Qin Feng's intention, and nodded, "I understand, Your Majesty."

"The Ministry of Personnel has increased its inspection efforts in various places. In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures will be severely punished and not lent to officials who do not care about their work." Qin Feng said to Wang Houdao.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Ministry of Personnel has already made preparations. At this time, if you dare not fight to serve the country, my old man Wang will become the Yama who seeks life." Wang Hou gritted his teeth.

"Mr. Guo, I don't need to say much about intelligence. With timely and accurate intelligence, the soldiers can bleed less and we can avoid detours. We must use all the power that can be used."
