Chapter 302 The court dispute!
"You...haha...I...haha..." Ying Chang was immediately amused by Jaro.
"Haha, Lord Jia is crazy, haha!"
"Great joy, great joy, haha!"
The ministers were so happy that they were so happy. The entire hall was filled with laughter from the ministers, which made many ministers feel stomachache. In fact, there was nothing funny about it, but when they saw Jaro's appearance, they couldn't help but become funny.
"Cough cough!" Ying Chang pretended to cough and forced himself to laugh. When the other ministers heard Ying Chang's intentional cough, they also held it in one after another. Their faces were flushed, and Jaro was also holding it in his arms, but his whole body was trembling.
Ying Chang took a deep breath and his face became solemn, "Although our Qin Dynasty won a great victory in this battle, the number of soldiers killed in the battle reached 100,000, and the number of men of Qin buried their bones in a foreign land is the sorrow of the country!"
God is fair. While the Qin army won a great victory, it also paid a terrible price. This price made Ying Chang sigh in his heart, and he couldn't help feeling a little sad. You know, this is not ten thousand or twenty thousand, but a full hundred thousand, which is undoubtedly aggravated by the fact that Daqin, who was already in short supply, was definitely worse!
After hearing that 100,000 soldiers were killed, the smiles on the faces of many ministers were frozen until they dissipated. The joy in Jaro's heart also scattered. The heavy number of deaths caused the ministers to fall into silence. One hundred thousand good men from the Qin Dynasty buried their bones in a foreign land, and one hundred thousand families became lonely and widowed.
Anyone can understand the pain of losing his father, losing his husband, and losing his son, and losing his brothers.
"Where is the Minister of War!" Ying Chang shouted lightly with a heavy expression.
When the Minister of War Yang Ze heard this, he immediately walked out of the civil servants' queue and bent down at Ying Chang with a solemn face and replied: "I'm here!"
"The list of fallen soldiers was also sent by the General of the Cavalry. In addition, the soldiers' military merit book were also sent. Later, I will send people to the Ministry of War to send the fallen soldiers and the military merit book to the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War will conduct accounting, and the pension and rewards will not make the soldiers bleed or cry. No one can slacken in this matter!"
"If I know that the Ministry of War is wrong in providing compensation and rewards, I will ask the Ministry of War. In addition, the Ministry of War has also drawn up a budget to submit it to me for reading!" Ying Chang's tone was light, but full of imperial majesty, which made people dare not say anything.
"I obey the order!" Yang Ze bent down and shouted with a serious look on his face. After answering, he retreated to his position.
The hall began to quiet, and the ministers were silent, as if they were paying silence for the 100,000 soldiers who fell. When Chang Zifei saw no one standing out of the queue to start the report, he raised his hand with a solemn expression and wrote a compilation to Ying Chang, "Your Majesty, I, the Qin Dynasty, lost 100,000 soldiers in this battle. Will I replenish the recruitment?"
Ying Chang frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. After pondering for a moment, he replied: "Generally speaking, a war will make up for as much as possible to maintain the national military strength and prevent no troops from resisting when foreign enemies invade!"
"However, my Great Qin is different. The Jin Empire in the east has no power to attack Qin. The Qi Empire in the south is our Great Qin allied country. The Qiang people in the west are still busy with the united war. The main force of the Huns on the Bailan Grassland in the north has been completely wiped out by our Great Qin. The Huns remaining in the Bailan Grassland are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and there is no possibility of attacking Qin!"
"Besides, the number of soldiers is not the essence, but the essence. The cavalry of Qinbei Great Wall and the Huns fought each other for half a year. Now the 60,000 Great Qin Iron Cavalry survived have become the elite cavalry of the Great Qin. Sixty thousand elite cavalry are stationed at the Great Wall. Even if the Huns have 100,000 or even 200,000, it is difficult for them to break our Great Wall and invade our Qin territory!"
"In addition, the Ordnance Department can only collect 60,000 new standard equipment for 60,000 cavalry in just three months. Once all 60,000 elite cavalry in Qinbei Great Wall are equipped with new standard equipment, their combat power will definitely be able to be turned upwards. At that time, why fear a strong enemy!"
"Therefore, our Great Qin does not need to recruit troops to replenish our troops. The 60,000 elite iron cavalry in the North Great Wall is enough to protect the northern border of the Great Qin!"
After hearing what Ying Chang said, many ministers nodded in agreement.
The borders of the Great Qin Empire are stable and powerful, and they already have the strength to defend the Great Qin Empire. There is no need to recruit troops to replenish troops. Therefore, it is better to take advantage of the stability of the Great Qin Empire to create young and strong farmers and trivial matters to improve national strength. The kingly way is to take advantage of the stability of the Great Qin Empire's borders!
"I understand!" Chang Zifei nodded, and then raised his hand to write a review and said, "I have another question. How will His Majesty arrange the 70,000 Jin women brought back by our army this time?"
Ying Chang did not immediately answer Chang Zifei, but looked at the other ministers and threw this question to the ministers, "What do you mean by your dear friends?"
"Your Majesty, I believe that my Qin Dynasty is exactly seven counties, and 70,000 Jin women should be distributed equally to seven counties!" The Minister of Justice stood out from the queue and made a proposal.
"Mr. Lei was surprised by this!"
Yang Ze, the Minister of War, once again stood out of the queue.
Without waiting for Yang Ze to continue speaking, Lei Tong looked at Yang Ze and then asked: "Why did Lord Yang say this? Why do you think this official is surprised?"
Yang Ze smiled calmly, bent down to Ying Chang and bowed to him and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the 70,000 women of the Jin Empire are all our Qin soldiers fighting bloody battles and snatched them from the hands of the Huns. They should be rewarded as spoils to the meritorious soldiers. In this way, the soldiers can feel the greatness of your Majesty and encourage the morale of the army. Wouldn't it be nice to kill two birds with one stone?"
"Mr. Yang said this wrongly!" Jia Luo, the Minister of Revenue, stood out of the queue with a calm expression and refuted Yang Ze's point of view.
"Please tell me!" Yang Ze gave a salute to Jaro. Jaro raised his hand to return the salute, and then bent down to Ying Chang and wrote: "Your Majesty, I believe that you must not reward Jin's daughter to soldiers, otherwise it will cause disaster!"
"Oh?" Ying Chang was puzzled and asked curiously: "Where does this disaster come from?"
"What's the tragedy?"
"Yes, where did the disaster come from? It's great to reward the soldiers!"
Some ministers couldn't help but mutter softly, which made the hall a little noisy. Seeing this, the imperial palace manager Tang Hua immediately shouted: "Silent!"
After the words came, the ministers who were talking closed their mouths one after another, and the hall also calmed down again. After the hall was quiet, Jaro continued to say: "Our Qin and the Jin Empire are as powerful as fire. Sooner or later, if the wife of our soldiers is from Jin, will the soldiers feel compassion for the Jin army when they destroy Jin in the future because their wife is from Jin? This is hard to say. I believe that if we can avoid this disaster, try to avoid it!"
"Haha, Lord Jia, isn't this a contradiction?" Yang Ze couldn't help but smile.
"Where is the conflict?" Jaro asked back.
