The soldiers didn't pay attention to the debate over here, yet they didn't know that Chu Heng's informers had already relayed the news back.
The current Ministry of War is not spotless either.
On the contrary, there are many issues within the Ministry of War, especially regarding the soldiers' salaries.
Many soldiers, after being discharged, still receive salaries from the yamen, and furthermore, in many cases where soldiers have sacrificed their lives, the military camps have not removed them from the registry; after submitting to the Ministry of Revenue, these people still receive salaries.
Not to mention how many officials are involved in embezzlement within.
The officials within the Ministry of War collude with each other, even someone as incompetent as Hu Hua can easily take the position of Vice Minister of Revenue. If war breaks out, besides worrying on the sidelines, they can't do any actual work.
