Uncle Liu took it back and went through a rigorous trial. Finally, he admitted that he was a native of Beimo. He was lurking in Beijing staring at the every move of the Beitang imperial family. When necessary, he would disturb him. He did help Hong Lie buy medicinal materials before. The most concerned thing is the gunpowder weapons in their military department. As long as they move, the North Desert will use the power of the whole country to attack the North Tang, because once these weapons are re-emerged, the North Desert will definitely be swallowed by the North Tang.
The Beimo Qin family once suffered a loss in the hands of these gunpowder weapons, so they were most afraid of these weapons.
It was inevitable that Yu Wenhao reported the Ming Yuan Emperor to the palace and proposed a battle with Beimo.
Rather than waiting for Bei Mo to get ready, it is better to take the initiative, which is what Yu Wenhao meant.
All along, intelligence has shown that there are signs of a large number of incursions in the North Desert. They continue to transport grain and grass to the border. If the Northern Tang Dynasty is still waiting for the settlement of southern Xinjiang and then concentrate its forces on the North Desert, the chances of winning are even lower.
The Ming and Yuan emperors discussed this matter in the early court, but the courtiers believed that if you can do it, you should not fight, especially now that the chaos in southern Xinjiang is undecided. At this time, the national treasury may not be able to bear it rashly.
Yu Wenhao believes that even if it is not going to fight now, Beitang should enter a formal state of preparation, instead of waiting to see whether Bei Desert will attack.
Civil officials are unwilling to go to war, because once a war starts, the status of military generals will be elevated. Civil and military antagonism has always existed in the Northern Tang Dynasty. It was the most serious when the emperor was dedicated, but these problems were suppressed when the Emperor was enthroned. It's okay on the face, but the bottom is dark.
Nowadays, many people believe that it is a peaceful and prosperous age. After all, it was only two years ago that they joined forces with the Great Zhou to repel the Suguo and the Northern Desert.
In the early days, the civil and military officials were arguing endlessly. The Ming and Yuan Emperor controlled the situation and said that the matter would be discussed later.
After retiring from the imperial court, a group of courtiers went to the imperial study room and talked to the Emperor Ming and Yuan about the situation in the middle of the country, saying that the top priority now is to do a good job of water conservancy, vigorously promote farming, and revitalize the economy, and stop spending money on wars.
Some officials suggested that people could be sent to North Desert to discuss peace talks.
Yu Wenhao returned to the palace, brought in a few confidant ministers, and lost his temper, "When is it now? Still thinking about peace talks? People come with a knife and you go to peace talks. That's not peace talks, that's begging for mercy."
"As for water conservancy and farming, has everything stopped after the war? It's not that we are going to fight, but that people are already ready to move. We are still imagining that the other party is just putting up a battle to scare us and play?"
"Wei Wang sent a letter about half a month ago, saying that Beimo kept sending grain and grass to the border, and they advanced another twenty miles, could it really wait until they set foot on the land of my Beitang? Are North Korea and China only preparing for war?"
"Now it doesn't mean to start war immediately, but we have to be prepared. We must prepare food, grass and weapons, send troops to the border, and stop making unrealistic fantasies. The fierceness of the North Desert people, we North Tang are not unseen. ."
The prince seldom had such a big temper. For a while, the courtiers dared not say anything, because a few of the people present were unwilling to fight.
And more than half of these courtiers are newly promoted people, who can govern internally, but have no experience in fighting foreign affairs. This is also the shortcoming of newcomers, but newcomers must have a fire. Now Yu Wenhao can't see this in them. Turn the fire up this morning. Most people do not recommend fighting, and they think it shouldn't.
Seeing them all silent, Yu Wenhao blocked his chest in one breath, smashed the cup with one hand, and said angrily: "It's gone!"
"The prince calms down and the ministers retire!" The crowd finally spoke.
Yu Wenhao's face was cold, staring at them one by one.
Tang Yang and Xu Yiyuan Qingling were outside the door. After everyone left, both Tang Yang and Xu Yi looked at Yuan Qingling and asked her to go in first to put out the fire.
Yuan Qingling also rarely sees Yu Wenhao getting such a big fire. She feels distressed and helpless. She pushes the door, probes in first, and smiles at him, "Master!"
Yu Wenhao raised his head to look at her. The anger in his eyes had not faded, but the person who came was what he wanted to see, and his face was slightly awkward, "Come on!"
Yuan Qingling walked over, walked around behind him, stretched out his hand to rub his brow, and whispered softly: "Don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry with yourself."
"Do you use me as the emperor?" Yu Wenhao closed her eyes and felt her fingers press against her forehead between her brows. She was very comfortable, and she was really angry just now, and her head was sore.
"This matter is not in a hurry, after all, it is impossible to have a unified opinion in a few words on such a big troop deployment." Yuan Qingling said softly.
Yu Wenhao said: "Opinions can never be unified. Even if the people of Beimo are under a city, there are still some cartilage bones who would rather kneel down and beg for mercy than fight hard."
"Can't say that, maybe they think it's not that time yet."
Yu Wenhao grabbed her hand and asked her to turn around, her eyes solemn, "We have friction with the North Desert all the year round, and the North Desert also regards us as the number one enemy. They are located in the bitter cold and have always wanted to expand their territory and occupy the North Tang Dynasty. The great rivers and mountains of China, have their wolf ambitions shown little in these years? The Emperor Chu in the North Desert is a warlike, and so is the Qin family. They are always thinking about attacking us, but if we keep the heart of luck, we will be overwhelmed. At that time, Prince Anfeng was afraid of them. At any rate, they have maintained the tranquility of the border for nearly 20 years. In the past ten years, they have been around for more than a decade, and their attitudes have returned. Almost all the tribes around the North Desert have been taken by them. We wait. If they continue, they will only grow stronger and stronger. Once they invade first, we will lose the first opportunity, we will be very passive, and we will be in a situation where we will be beaten."
Yuan Qingling knew he was worried, she couldn't help, she didn't understand the war at all, and she really wanted someone to help him.
When she thought about it, Yu Wenhao sighed, "It would be fine if the quiet words were there, at least it would be able to persuade the emperor."
"Didn't the emperor agree?" Yuan Qing Ling thought that their father and son were united, and the courtiers opposed it.
"Above the court today, the emperor father revealed his indignation towards Bei Mo, and he can at least guide everyone to think about it, but the emperor father did not. He probably thought that Bei Mo was still playing a little bit like before." Yu Wenhao said helplessly.
He pressed his temples with both hands and whispered: "Father's eyes are not long enough. He only focuses on what is in front of him. He doesn't see threats. The great war is bound to perish, but if you forget the war, you will be in danger. He has been paying attention to the border, and has been trying to persuade the emperor to send heavy troops to garrison first, but the emperor did not listen."
