I Am a Corrupt Official, But They Say I Am a Loyal Minister!

Doluo Country is a small country on the edge of Dawu, with a population of over ten million and poor supplies.

Two years ago, they fought a battle with Dawu and lost to Dawu. In the end, they sent the third prince to Beijing for peace talks and reduced compensation.

Lin Beifan was still a minor official at the time. He proposed the plan of swallowing pythons in the court. By boiling frogs in warm water, he subtly annexed the Duoluo Kingdom and achieved the goal of expanding its territory.

Now, this plan has been implemented for a year and a half, and everything is going smoothly.

After getting help from Dawu, Doro's life improved a lot.

Originally, according to this plan, Doro could be swallowed up in 3 to 5 years.

Who knows now, the other party has seen through his intentions.

In the court, the empress said angrily:"The Doro royal family has seen through our court's intentions, betrayed their trust, and tore up the treaty. Now they are expelling our businessmen and teachers, burning all books, and terminating mutual trade between the two countries! The Doro royal family is greedy and greedy. , directly invaded our dynasty's property in Doluo! The plan to swallow Mang fell short! My dear friends, do you have any good ideas?"

"Your Majesty, since the other party has torn up the treaty and betrayed its promise, then we don't need to be polite, and we will fight if it's time to fight! How can a mere small country be the opponent of my mighty iron hoof?"

"Your Majesty, isn't it just a war? We have fought so many battles this year, who are we afraid of? Even the Dayue Dynasty and the Great Xia Dynasty lost to us! It’s just a small country, not worth mentioning!"

"Your Majesty, my suggestion is... fight! Beat him until he is convinced!"

……

All the officials were screaming, and the generals were ready to move.

Over the past year or so, many consecutive big wins have given Baiguan a lot of confidence!

Talking about fighting is not false at all!

The empress looked at Lin Beifan:"Lin Aiqing, what do you think?"

Lin Beifan said loudly:"Your Majesty, when the minister proposed the plan to swallow Mang, he anticipated this and took precautions! Therefore, we only need to Just follow the plan and destroy Doro's economy, cut off all material supplies, deprive them of everything we have given them, and make them pay a heavy price!"

The empress nodded:"What Ai Qing said is absolutely true!"

"In addition, Your Majesty, Tun Mang's plan has not failed! In the past year and a half, with the efforts of my businessmen, Doro's economy has been under my control! Under the guidance of our teacher, the people of Doluo have already yearned for me! Therefore, we still have the opportunity to carry out the python swallowing plan and capture Doro! The empress' eyes lit up:"

Aiqing, are you telling the truth?"

Lin Beifan replied:"How dare you deceive Your Majesty?"

The empress asked:"What are you going to do?" Lin

Beifan replied:"While carrying out the collapse plan and suppressing it with force, we can capture Doro!"

The empress said happily:"Okay!" It was you, Aiqing, who proposed the python-swallowing plan, and you are also the best at fighting, so I won’t bother the two masters, and I will leave this matter to you!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"Lin Beifan accepted the order

"My dear, how many troops and horses are needed?"The empress asked.

Lin Beifan shook his head slightly and said with a smile:"You don't need many troops, just 100,000 troops for border defense are enough!"

"Is 100,000 troops really enough? Li Kaiguang, the Minister of War, stood up and said:"Although Duoluo Kingdom has a sparse population, its people are strong and strong. It cannot be taken down without a million troops!" The Prime Minister is like a god in using troops, but if he doesn't have enough troops, he may be too stretched to use them!"

"Prime Minister, we have enough food and grass, so you're welcome!"The Minister of Household Affairs took over the job.

Lin Beifan shook his head again:"Thank you for your kindness, sir, I really don't need it! To deal with Doro, there is no need to mobilize troops like this!"

"Dear, what do you need?"The empress asked again

"Your Majesty, you only need to give me 500,000 taels for the departure fee, that's enough! Lin Beifan smiled.

Empress and officials:"Huh?"

The empress asked in confusion:"My dear, you don't need soldiers and horses, so why do you need the money to set off?""

"Your Majesty, the troops and horses are not needed, but the minister is! It's a long way to go to Duoluo, and there are many things that need to be taken care of on the way. It really can't be done without money!" Lin Beifan said.

The empress' eyes were full of doubts:"Do you really need so much money?"

It's only a thousand miles from the capital to Duoluo, a journey of 10 days and a half. You don't lead troops to fight, and you travel alone. Ten thousand taels is a luxury. You actually want 500,000 taels. You don't know how. Are you taking the opportunity to be greedy for money?

Lin Beifan raised his hands and said:"This fee has another magical purpose, it is related to success or failure, please understand!"

The empress is too lazy to care about it, and neither are the officials!

Now that the court has plenty of supplies and money, there is no need to worry about the small sum of 500,000 taels.

If 500,000 taels can win a victory and annex the Dora Kingdom, then it will really It’s great value for money!

"good! I will give you 500,000 taels!"The empress said loudly

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"Lin Beifan responded.

At this time, the news that Duoluo Kingdom had broken its alliance and betrayed its promise had spread throughout the city.

The people were very angry and gnashed their teeth.

"The Doro Kingdom actually tore up its alliance and betrayed its promise!"

"Let me just say, I shouldn’t have been so nice to them in the first place! We opened up trade, built shops and factories, and sent many teachers to educate them, teach them reading, literacy, etiquette and morality...Now that they have developed well, they bite us back, and they are just white-eyed wolves that cannot be raised. It is really hateful!"

"Yes! They are just a bunch of wolf cubs, very vicious and should not be kind at all!"

"Well now, the court was enraged and sent the Prime Minister to deal with them!"

"The Prime Minister is the military god of our dynasty! The Prime Minister takes action, the Doro Kingdom is over!"

"Should! Let them know the consequences of offending our Dawu!"

……

The other generals became excited

"The Prime Minister is going to fight again! If you follow the Prime Minister, all your hard work will be in vain!"

"Yes, the three major rebel kings were all dealt with by the prime minister! The Dayue Dynasty and the Daxia Dynasty couldn't defeat the Prime Minister. It was just a Duoluo Kingdom. Isn't this easy to come by?"

"If the Prime Minister takes action, he will succeed immediately, and the Doro Kingdom will definitely be doomed!"

"Be sure to join the Prime Minister’s team!"

……

The major generals took action one after another.

As a military family, the Zhao family naturally learned the news immediately.

"Kuo'er, this is a rare opportunity!"Zhao Hai's eyebrows were flying and he said:"The Prime Minister is like a god in using troops. This time we send troops to deal with the Duoluo Kingdom, we are basically sure of it! Although our family is no longer what it used to be, we still have some energy and strive to arrange you into the military! You can talk to the Prime Minister again. It would be better if you can get his consent!"

"Uncle, I know how to do it!"Zhao Kuo looked determined.

His road to comeback is too difficult, so he must seize every opportunity, work hard, and wash away the shame!

This is an opportunity, so he must not give up.

At the same time, he also hopes to follow Lin Beifan was around to learn more about leading troops to fight.

Because he was preparing to go to war, Lin Beifan returned to the Lin Mansion early.

Master Li came over with a worried look on his face:"Ms. sir, I heard that you are going to fight again? Lin

Beifan nodded:"The Duoluo Kingdom tore up the treaty and betrayed their faith. His Majesty and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were very angry!" Therefore, Your Majesty decreed that I should deal with him!"

"Sir, how long will it take for you to come back?"Li Shishi asked worriedly.

Leading troops to fight is inherently dangerous. And every time we send out troops, it can be as short as half a month or as long as a month. It's been too long. It makes her miss her so much that she really doesn't want to do it anymore.do not

"As expected, it should take a month!"

"It’s another month!"Master Li's face became even more worried.

"Don't worry! This time, I'll take you there! Lin Beifan smiled and said

"real?"Li Shishi's eyes lit up.

"Really, I will not only take you there, but also take everyone with me! Everyone has been in the capital for a long time. Let’s go out for a walk, enjoy the mountains and rivers, and relax!"Lin Beifan waved his hand

"Really, Master?"Dali was overjoyed.

Since he came to the capital with Lin Beifan, he has not left for more than two years. Although the living conditions in the capital are very good, he will get tired of it after staying for a long time, and he can't help but want to go out and have a look.

"Can we really go together?"Xiao Cui was also overjoyed.

Lin Beifan waved his hand:"Everyone is going, the whole government is going, no one is missing!"

"Amitabha!"The little monk had a smile on his face.

"Sir, doesn't this delay business? Master Li asked again.

Lin Beifan shook his head and smiled:"Don't delay, this is part of the business, just follow it!""

"Um!"Master Li felt relieved and put a smile on his face again.

At this time, the little princess ran over in a hurry and said excitedly:"I want to go! I'm going! I also need to go!"

The figure of Tuberose floated from the sky, opened the paper fan with a snap, and said with a smile:"How can such a good thing come to someone with a bad reputation? Tired of staying in the capital, it’s time to go out and have a look!"

That night, the whole house was very excited!

The empress soon found out about this and she was not calm anymore!

She dragged her family to fight. Are they preparing to run away?

They even prepared 500,000 taels for travel expenses!

He summoned Lin Beifan into the palace that night and asked urgently:"My beloved, I heard that you are going to fight with your whole family? Lin

Beifan said sternly:"Your Majesty, this is a strategy of a humble minister, used to confuse the Duoluo Kingdom!""

"Oh, I see! Then... you must come back!"The empress said reluctantly.

Lin Beifan felt baffled.

As the prime minister, of course he would come back after the war, otherwise where else could he go?

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

On the second day, Lin Beifan set off with everyone.

He chose to take a boat and go down the river, spending 10 days and a half to go to Duoluo.

The team he led was not large, about a hundred people, mainly It is used to take care of daily life and food, escort and protect one's own safety along the way, and it is enough to facilitate uploading and issuing, and executing orders.

As a result, when I came to the river, I was dumbfounded.

Good guy, there were actually a dozen mixed into the team of more than a hundred people. Among the generals, the lowest position reaches the sixth rank, and the highest rank even reaches the third rank!

The number of innate people actually reaches 18!

When leading troops to fight in the past, I have never had such luxury!
