C946 Only Two Hundred Thousand

Even if the Human Emperor had an extraordinary demeanor, when he heard this, he was furious. He shouted angrily, "What a great 'Cai Jing', he lost such a great Qingzhou in a few months, he's no wonder he's a general!"1

Lyu Buwei stepped forward and said: "The location of Qingzhou is extremely important, and now that it is occupied by bandits, if we do not immediately send out troops, I'm afraid that the citizens of Qingzhou will be held hostage by the bandits, and then spread out. The consequences are unimaginable!"

The Human Emperor looked at Ying Zheng and said, "This is the mess caused by your Ministry of Military. Minister of Military, what should we do?"

After pondering for a while, he said: "Reporting to royal father, the matter of Qingzhou is already very bad. It looks like there are a million bandits, but those refugees, if they are not properly pacified, I'm afraid they will become new bandits. If we want to settle the matter of Qingzhou, we need two million troops!"

The civil officials who did not know about military affairs all knew that there was no money left to take out the two million strong army. Because of the Order of Destroying Barbarians, all the various houses were under a lot of pressure and they did not dare to call off the troops.

The trouble with Qingzhou did not lie in bandits, rather, it was the tens of millions of citizens, who could easily turn into bandits if they could not eat their fill. If the problem of famine was not solved, these tens of millions of citizens could become new bandits!

"We don't know much about the military," said Fang. "But we only know about 500,000 soldiers. Even if the border is on an emergency, the Ministry of Revenue will not be able to get any food!"

The civil and military officials were immediately silenced. This was the truth. The disaster had cost the nation's treasury its resources, and five hundred thousand grains was its limit!

Ying Zheng said gloomily: "Five hundred thousand is not enough, even the bandits who occupy Qingzhou need eight hundred thousand troops. If the Department of Revenue doesn't have any surplus food, it's like a wealthy landlord going on a conquest!"

Fang Xuanling said: "I'm not satisfied with the tax. It will be a big deal then!" This official cannot make the decision! "

Ying Zheng glanced at Shen Muqing, "Ninth Brother, after all, you are the Cabinet Prime Minister, while I have ordered the Ministry of Military to gather eight hundred thousand soldiers. I wonder if Ninth Brother can gather a single grain?"

Shen Muqing said indifferently: "Even an eight hundred thousand strong army cannot calm down in their Qingzhou, they are truly incompetent! and you're actually giving them food? "

These words left no room for debate, it directly made Ying Zheng's eight hundred thousand strong army lose!

Previously, Ying Zheng was against him, so of course he had to retaliate. Ying Zheng was extremely angry and laughed: "Alright, I am called Ninth Brother. I wonder what Ninth Brother thinks about Qingzhou, could it be that the five hundred thousand army can really be settled? If you really can assess This King, This King's position will be given to you! "

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shen Muqing said, "Just now, Master Fang said that five hundred thousand men would be very expensive. If you take it out, there will be some other turmoil and the Ministry of Revenue will not be able to handle it, not a wise man. If I were to lead this two hundred thousand man army, it would be enough! "There's another thing!"

According to Ying Zheng's strategy, the Qingzhou would need to be two million strong army to level up, and Shen Muqing only needed a tenth of it. Even Huang Feihu, Bai Qi and the others who were standing in front of the military general frowned.

Ying Zheng did not know what to say, and only said to Shen Muqing: "Two hundred thousand army, your words are a little too much, do you think those criminals in Qingzhou are fake?"
