It also has a certain impact on the political situation.
But Wei Yunyi is different.
This is exactly the kind of influence he wants, and what he wants is a meaningless military deployment that can better curb luck.
Especially since even Grand Tutor Zhang Zhengming is extremely opposed to this matter, it is even more appropriate to do so.
So after hearing what the ministers said, he looked at everyone and said, "In the Battle of Gaoyang, the Marquis of Guanjun destroyed the country in one fell swoop, proving the prestige of our Great Wei. It's precisely because of this that the surrounding countries have been extremely quiet in recent times, afraid to cause trouble. Furthermore, why did Duke Aqin of Tiandu choose to sign a friendly alliance with our Great Wei? It's precisely because of the prestige of our Great Wei army that they are wary and realize that our Great Wei is not to be trifled with. Therefore, this time, there is only one way to deal with the Baiyue, and that is to send troops."
"I have made up my mind on this matter. You don't need to persuade me anymore. Just arrange your troops. Also, for this expedition to Baiyue, we must mobilize at least 200,000 troops from all over the country. We must ensure victory in one strike and let them know what it means to be a king's army and what it means to be furious!"
Mobilize an army of 200,000?
When everyone heard this, they were stunned.
Two hundred thousand people went on the expedition, and the amount of food and supplies consumed was enormous.
If this war fails to achieve any results, the imperial court's finances will be in serious trouble...
At this time, the cabinet ministers headed by Zhang Zhengming wanted to say something, but after seeing Wei Yunyi's serious expression, they immediately knew that they could not persuade him.
However...if you want to stop His Majesty from going to war, there is another way.
Lin Yuansong quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to march against the Baiyue, you must have a suitable commander, right? The war in the northern border isn't over yet, and most of the generals are at Zhenbei Pass. Marquis Guanjun is suitable, but he's the Protector General of Gaoyang and can't be moved lightly. Your Majesty, without a commander, even if the court wants to send troops, it will be difficult."
Yes, how can we fight a war without a commander? How can we lead the army?
You must know that this time there are 200,000 troops going on the expedition. Not just any general can join the expedition. He must have qualifications, achievements, and prestige. Otherwise, how can he intimidate the troops mobilized from all over the place?
What if you send a general who is inferior in everything and has mobilized a large army from all over the place? Why would they accept orders from you?
Therefore, this is a fatal problem that must be solved.
After hearing Lin Yuansong's words, Zhang Zhengming and others couldn't help but admire him in their hearts, because this question was very well asked and would definitely make His Majesty give up.
But at this moment, after hearing this, Wei Yunyi slowly stood up from his chair and said softly to everyone, "The choice of commander? Simple. This time, I will lead the expedition to Baiyue!"
