Daqin: Check in at the beginning of 18 and ask Zulong to abdicate

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Ying Zigao sighed helplessly after hearing this, and slowly shook his head.

After a long time, he turned around, stared at the Hubu Shangshu in front of him, and said, "When did I say that a war will start this year?"

"Hmph! Just now you also said that the tax revenue of Great Qin Kingdom this year is 9000 million taels."

"What about next year?"

"Next year, it can reach at least ten million taels!"

"Zheng He's voyages brought us many friends, right?"

"At that time, all nations will come to court, and they will have to pay tribute!"

"It's not difficult to get together [-] taels."

"Household Minister!"

"Chen is here!"

Hubu Shangshu took a step forward. ,

Ying Zigao continued: "You are all civil servants and have never been on the battlefield. I don't ask you to understand anything."

"I just ask you to do one thing!"

"Today next year, the treasury will store 5000 million taels of silver for war funds."

"The remaining 5000 million taels will be used to maintain normal domestic expenditures."

"Can you?"

After hearing this, Tobu Shangshu immediately started to play with his fingers.

After a long time, his eyes suddenly widened!

In fact, normally speaking, 5000 million taels a year is completely enough.

There's even money left over.

Therefore, Hubu Shangshu nodded slowly and said, "Yes."

Ying Zigao also nodded and said, "Very well, then it's settled!"

"Hmph! That's enough! This wine, it's not a pleasure to drink it! It's all gone!"

After finishing speaking, Ying Zigao turned his head and left.

After returning to the study, Ying Zigao sighed.

It seems that it is not easy to deal with an empire of Tianluo's size.

To take down the Japanese pirates by myself, it took as little as 1000 million inside and outside.

What is the Wa country?Today's Wa Island, the island's population is estimated to be only one million or so. A small country of this size has cost itself so much money.

Before Zheng He went to the West, he invested 3000 million taels of silver. After returning, he took out another 2000 million taels to distribute money to the soldiers.

After all, Zheng He's voyages to the Western Seas, he hardly fought a battle, and he fought a fierce battle in his body, which cost 5000 million taels.

Of course, this is a five-year cost.

But in five years, maintaining an army of 10 people cost 5000 million!On average, it costs 1000 million a year!

This price is really too high.

Conquering Tianluo is not an easy task.

Even if all the armed forces of the sea, land and air are dispatched, it will not be resolved in a short time.

The Tianluo Empire has a vast territory. If you want to attack Tianluo, if you enter from the Mediterranean Sea, you need to face the Tianluo Navy.

Although Tianluo Navy Ying Zigao didn't care.

but……

Those old guys in the Tianluo Senate are not fools. When Zheng He went to the West, he brought so many advanced gadgets. It is estimated that the Tianluo people have already begun to try to imitate them.

By then, I'm afraid they will have flintlocks and cannons.

Although it seems that the weapons in Master Yingzi's hands are not products of the same era as the flintlock guns and sailboats, the flintlock guns and cannons can still cause heavy damage to the Qin army.

Historically, even during World War II, there were still small countries in the Middle East or Africa that used flintlock guns or even matchlock guns to cause heavy damage to modern armies.

Moreover, the Tianluo Empire is really powerful.

Today's Tianluo Empire is stronger than ever!

It's not the Tianluo who started to go downhill hundreds of years later.

Now Tianluo is in his prime!
What's more, to start a war with Tianluo, he would have to face the problem of a long and narrow supply line.

At that time, the supply of the Qin army will also become a big problem!

After thinking about it, Ying Gao sighed helplessly, and then slowly came to the sand table.

At this time, Zheng He and Zhao Yun came over.

When they saw Ying Zigao, they immediately knelt down on one knee.

"My humble minister Zheng He, I have met His Majesty!"

"The last general, Zhao Yun, has met His Majesty!"

Shadow Gao waved his hands and said: "Get up, let's discuss how to win Tianluo."

"One year later, I want to conquer Tianluo personally."

After hearing this, Zheng He hurriedly walked to the sand table and looked at the map of Eurasia that Ying Zigao asked someone to draw.

Zheng He looked at it, and then said: "It's actually not safe to go by water, and the journey is far away, so resupply will be a big problem!"

"If we want to win Tianluo, we need at least two troops."

Zheng He showed a very high strategic mind in front of Ying Zigao.

He pointed to a piece of land in the center of the Eurasian continent and said, "Between Tianluo and Wochao, there is the Parthian Empire, and further west, there is the Persian Empire."

"We need to eat food one bite at a time. Let's go overland first, take down the Parthian Empire, and attack Persia."

"At this time, the Tianluo people will definitely not be able to sit still, and they will also attack Persia in the same way. At that time, we will carve up Persia with Tianluo, and the two countries will completely border each other!"

"After that, the real battle begins!"

"Afterwards, we are sending out the second troop, going by water!"

As he spoke, Zheng He picked up the model of the ironclad ship beside him and said, "Send one hundred warships and fifty thousand troops to Besli."

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Besli is a country belonging to Tianluo. Although most of the country is desert, the Nile River Valley that passes through is fertile and is an important food production area."

"As long as we take down Besli, we will have food supplies in the Mediterranean!"

"At that time, there will be no need to transfer food and grass from the country."

"Secondly, I have seen the Iron Chi Road built by Your Majesty. Let's extend the Iron Chi Road to Persia. In this way, the land route can also be used as a road to quickly transport troops and food."

"When everything is ready, we will do both!"

"The army is attacking from land on a steam locomotive! Like a sharp knife, it penetrates directly into the hinterland of Tianluo!"

"The navy took the iron-clad ship and went straight to the capital of Tianluo! Although Tianluo has millions of soldiers! But under the attack from both sides of our army, the enemy's army will definitely return to defense immediately! Defend the capital!"

"At this time, our army can quickly take down half of Tianluo!"

"Next, we will continue to attack Tianluo Capital from both sides!"

"At that time, the enemy will definitely be defeated by our army!"

"Weichen did some calculations. In total, 20 troops are enough to take down Tianluo!"

After hearing this, Ying Zigao nodded slowly.

After pondering for a moment, he raised his head with satisfaction, looked at Zheng He and said, "Hahahaha! Okay! Zheng Qing, I haven't seen you for a few years. I can't imagine that you are so powerful! Hahahaha!"

At this time, Zhao Yun on the side also quickly said: "Your Majesty, I still have a doubt."

"I'm afraid... 20 people are not enough."

After hearing this, Ying Zigao looked at Zhao Yun with interest and said, "Oh? But it's okay to say it! Hahaha! The more questions you ask, the more comprehensive our plan will be!"
