Chapter 403, have you read the newspaper?(2/2)

, cavalrymen are often from good families. The so-called good family does not mean the children of ordinary people, but refers to the children of big families.

Relying on such a powerful cavalry, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Huns at that time.

Of course, in order to attack the Xiongnu, the national power of the Han Dynasty also weakened rapidly, and the huge national power accumulated by Emperors Wen and Jing was also consumed.

This shows that building such a cavalry requires a lot of financial resources and must be supported by strong national strength.

And is the Ming Dynasty possible now?

It is simply impossible. The treasury of the Ming Dynasty could starve to death. How could there be so much money to support the establishment of such a powerful cavalry?

What's more, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty kept his words, so this idea of ​​Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can be implemented from top to bottom. Can the emperor of the Ming Dynasty now keep his words?

Military power was in the hands of the civil servants. The civil servants did not like a militaristic emperor. They only liked good old men like Emperor Hongzhi. They believed in them and listened to them in everything.

Therefore, it is simply impossible to build such a powerful cavalry here in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor has no say, the civil servants will strongly oppose it, and the court's finances do not allow it. It is just an empty talk.

"However, it costs too much money to build such a powerful cavalry. What's more important is that the DPRK..."

Thinking of this, Liu Jin had to pour cold water on Zhu Houzhao.

"Money is not an issue, as for the rest~"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately laughed. As long as it is feasible, it will be fine. As for other problems, there are always more methods than difficulties. As for money, Zhu Houzhao now has money and silver, but he has nowhere to spend it.

What's more, there is Liu Jin, the God of Wealth, who is afraid of running out of money. Zhu Houzhao doesn't take it to heart at all about the matters in the court that Liu Jin is worried about. After all, his surname is Zhu in the Ming Dynasty, and his old Zhu family has said so.

Calculated.



On July 24, the twelfth year of Hongzhi, the sky was just getting dark, and the sounds of children began to sound again in the streets and alleys of the Beijing and Tianjin areas.

"Sell newspapers~ sell newspapers~"

"The Tatars massacred the Central Plains, Gansu, and Shaanxi, and the blood flowed into rivers~"

One by one, the newspaper boys waved the newspapers in their hands and shouted loudly as they walked.

"Bring me a newspaper~"

"I'll have one too~"

With the first issue laying the foundation, the sales of the second issue of the newspaper became extremely hot. The first issue only had more than 10,000 copies in the Beijing and Tianjin areas. The second issue, with the consent of Liu Jin, was directly discovered

Thirty thousand newspapers.

However, even if there were 30,000 newspapers, there were still not enough to sell in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area. As soon as many people heard the sound of newspapers being sold, they immediately swarmed in and quickly snapped up the newspapers.

In less than an hour, the second issue of the Ming Dynasty Morning Post was sold out, and young and old men throughout the capital and Tianjin began to read the newspaper with gusto.

"Bang~"

In a teahouse in the capital, when everyone got the newspaper and saw the news at the top, there were loud noises immediately, followed by angry sounds.

"The Tatars massacred our Central Plains, Gansu, and Shaanxi, and they committed such heinous crimes. How can they be allowed to return to the grasslands with impunity? They must be killed cleanly!"

"It's a shame that even though our Ming Dynasty has millions of powerful soldiers, it can only huddle in the city. However, the flying generals of Dragon City are here, and they don't teach Huma to cross the Yin Mountains!"

"There are no flying generals in the Ming Dynasty. The army is filled with eunuchs and civil servants who have the final say."

"Are we just going to watch our compatriots being slaughtered?"

"So what can I do?"

"The princes in the court should find ways to teach these prairie wolves a lesson."

Throughout the restaurant, various discussions broke out one after another. The ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty were very angry. They wished they could mount their swords and fight with the grassland people to avenge their compatriots in Gansu and Shaanxi.

On the streets of Beijing.

"Have you read today's newspaper?"

When ordinary people meet, the first thing they say in the past is "Have you eaten today?"

But now it has changed. As is customary, everyone first asks, have you read today’s newspaper?

"Not yet~"

"Hurry up and take a look. It will make people angry at the sight. The Tatars massacred all over the Central Plains, Gansu and Shanxi. Ten houses and nine empty houses were filled with blood. I don't know how many people died."

"What, the Tatars really came in?"

"Where are our border troops? Where are our troops?"

"They are all huddled inside the city wall, and they don't dare to go out to fight. They usually serve delicious food and drink, but they don't even dare to fight at the critical moment. They are really a bunch of eggless things."

"They deserve to be killed, these people all deserve to be killed~"

"Isn't that true? It takes a thousand days to raise troops in just one moment. If you don't even dare to fight, what's the use of them? I've heard that our Ming army has long been corrupt, with weak armaments and lack of training. Those

Generals and the like are still paid empty wages, drink the blood of soldiers, etc. How can they have any combat effectiveness?"

"I've heard about it too, and sometimes I can't blame them entirely. I heard that some border troops have trouble even eating, and all the money allocated from above goes into the mouths of certain people."

"I've heard about it too. It's said that the weapons they use are not even as good as our kitchen knives. They break into pieces as soon as they are cut. How can they fight with this?"
