The golden years are three hundred and one, and one table is missing one for the festival
Although the idea of speculation flashed in his heart, Chen Qiran did not do it.
This conscription may be an opportunity for him, and many of the protagonists in the time-traveling novels have crossed over to otherworldly continents to join the army and win military exploits, and finally become the pillars of the empire.
What's more, Chen Qiran's current situation is that he has eaten the last meal but not the next meal, so it is better to mix three meals a day first, and by the way, understand the situation of this world.
I have to say that this country is so good to soldiers, I didn't expect that the military salary given in advance could be enough for him to eat in a good restaurant.
This is a mid-range restaurant in the city, the restaurant is full of people, everyone's body is very strong, and the dishes they order are very rich, it seems that they all have the same idea as Chen Qiran, that is, they will report to the barracks after eating.
There was a lot of noise in the restaurant, and the words of the three strong men at one of the tables attracted Chen Qiran's attention, and he only heard the strong man Jia say: "Our mediocre king has finally done something that is not mediocre. β
Zhuang Han B: "Yes, in this way, when the Eight-Nation Alliance resists the invasion of foreign races, it is not afraid that other countries will laugh at our country for not having its own regular army." β
Strong man C: "It is said that this is jointly proposed by Princess Lucy and the general Lyle, and we were assigned to the general." β
Strong Man B continued: "But I have also heard that although we have been assigned to the Great General, the two mercenary regiments that originally belonged to the Great General have been placed under the Princess's account. The princess has long wanted to seize the general's military power, and this is good, in case of a civil war between the two sides, the general has no chance of winning at all. β
Strong Man Jia: "Yes, it seems that the decision made by the mediocre king this time is not entirely right, so we must train hard when we arrive at the barracks." β
From the dialogue between these people, Chen Qiran learned that the king of this country is very mediocre and relies on the support of the generals.
Although the general is very popular with the people, he has too much power, which also arouses the dissatisfaction of the princess.
This conscription is a step for the princess to seize power.
I don't know when, there was suddenly a middle-aged man in front of Chen Qiran, and he asked Chen Qiran with a smile: "Little brother, can you invite me to have a glass of wine." β
Chen Qiran didn't know this person, but he was sure that this person was a top master, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, sir, please use it." β
The man took a shallow sip, tasted it in his mouth, put down the cup and asked, "What do you think of what the three of you said just now, little brother?"
Chen Qiran said: "From the tone of their mouths, it seems that the general is very popular, and the status of that princess in people's hearts is not very high, and she only thinks about fighting for power and profit." What he has done in the past seems to be for the sake of the country, but in fact he is just being calculated by the princess. β
The man only sniffed the wine in the cup lightly, and then said with a smile: "It seems that the little brother has just come to this country, otherwise with your analytical talents, you would never say such a simple opinion." β
Chen Qiran hurriedly asked, "Then please give me advice." β
The man said: "The words of those people are completely focused on three people, the king, the princess, and the general.
The king was a very mediocre man, eating, drinking, and having fun, and rarely managing the government.
The princess is a very politically minded person, and can be said to be stronger than the monarch of any country, and it has been said that she may have had a great female monarch after Queen Shirley, but it is a pity that this young and beautiful princess is too ruthless and will do whatever it takes to achieve her ends, and because of this she is very unpopular in this country.
There is also the general, he is a very patriotic person, he has great power, but he never puts on any stand and is very kind to anyone, the only drawback is patriotism, several times he almost died at the hands of the princess, but he never thought of revenge.
These are the people who stand at the top of the empire, and after listening to this, you analyze the situation in this country. β
After hearing these words, Chen Qiran thought for a while and said: "It seems that this king is not only not a mediocre person, but also a very scheming politician. β
The man smiled and said, "Tell me what you think." β
Chen Qiran said: "First of all, I want to talk about the princess, she is a very politically minded woman, her ruthlessness shows that her desires are not so easy to satisfy, I think her ultimate goal is to unify the entire continent, and before that, what she wants to do is to become the queen of Xuxi first."
Then he talked about the general, he is a very patriotic and loyal person to the country, and he is good to the people, not to buy the hearts of the people, but to retain the hearts of the people for the country. He can't let the people of this country abandon this country, so that other countries can take advantage of it, so as long as it is for the good of the country, this beloved general may also do things that others don't expect. The reason why the general did not come out to oppose the princess may be because although the princess is ruthless, she can really make the country strong, so not only does he not oppose the princess, but will approve of the princess being the queen.
Then there is the king, who is completely useless in the eyes of others, and he can become king because of luck. In the eyes of other people, he is a particularly unlucky monarch, his daughter's eyes have always been on his throne, and his great general is too popular with the people, so he is not in the position of king, but he has been sitting as a king for so many years. Of course, it wasn't that he was so lucky, he had to make his opponents think he was incompetent and thus despise him. Then he played a balancing act, letting the other forces contain each other, and of course, cultivating his own forces. β
After hearing this, the middle-aged man showed a faint smile on his face and said, "I really didn't see the wrong person, you are really a terrible person." Fortunately, I am not a courtier of any country, otherwise I would have killed you immediately, so I advise you not to join the army, but to set up your own mercenary group, so that you may be able to live longer. β
Chen Qiran was puzzled when he heard this: "Is there something big going to happen in this country when Mr. said this, and please give me advice." β
"It's not a big deal, it's that the king married the princess to the son of the great general. In addition, it is said that a dragon appeared in the Valley of the Hidden Dragon, in the southwest of the empire. β
After saying these words, the man took another sip of wine and turned to leave, Chen Qiran knew that this was a hint from that person, but he still didn't understand what he meant. Although the man persuaded himself very sincerely, Chen Qiran still decided to act according to the plan.
Three days later, Chen Qiran came to the barracks to report, the selection of soldiers here is different from other countries, and there is no need for officers to be carefully selected, only to show your best skills. After all, before that, there was no regular army in the country, and everything could only be done in the same way as mercenaries.
Chen Qiran originally wanted to dance a set of Spring and Autumn Sword Techniques, but there was no weapon like the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in this world.
Fortunately, there are many mercenary groups in this country, and the strange people in those guilds have their own special skills, and these special skills can only play an abnormal effect with special weapons, and those special weapons cannot be bought in the world, so they can only be specially customized by blacksmiths.
For this reason, at the time of the establishment of the regular army, in addition to the establishment of a large-scale weapons casting battalion, a special weapons construction office was also established.
It can be said that if the dwarves are the best weapon building quality in this world, then the Xixu Kingdom is the place with the most weapon creation tricks on the mainland. Chen Qiran also ordered a knife for himself, but there were more people who made weapons for himself, and his knife would not be available for a while, so he used a big mallet on this day.
Chen Qiran is a martial artist, and his professional characteristics are that any weapon in his hand can be used as if he has practiced for twenty or thirty years, so even if Chen Qiran is a mallet for the first time, his skills are quite good in the eyes of others.
Due to his outstanding performance, Chen Qiran was assigned to the first-class soldier battalion. The people in this battalion can be regarded as elites, and they belong to Kahn, the son of General Lyle, who lives in the barracks, so there is an activity every day in addition to training - watching beautiful women......
The woman was very beautiful, with a pair of comfortable eyes, a small peachy mouth, a pointed nose, and two dimples when she smiled. With a thin waist and long legs, she has a full chest, and she walks with three shakes in one step, and when she looks at it, she wants people to come forward and help her.
This beauty came to see the general's son every day, and the two talked and laughed as soon as they met. Later, Chen Qiran learned from the mouths of other soldiers that this person was Karn's fiancΓ©e, Princess Lucy.
Not only that, Chen Qiran also learned some open secrets.
Although Karn was the son of a great general, he was as mediocre as the king, and his greatest ability was to eat, drink, and be merry.
But it was this skill that was very favored by the king, and he was often recruited into the palace.
With the king's affection for him, Karn became the king's best choice for a colt.
When the king wanted to marry the princess to Karn, everyone thought that the matter would not be resolved in the end, because Princess Lucy would definitely oppose it to life and death, but no one expected that the princess would simply agree.
This incident made many ministers puzzled, and later I didn't know which minister said: "The princess agreed to this marriage for the sake of political sacrifice for the unity of the country." Gradually, the people agreed, and it seemed that in response to this statement, the Shogun and the Princess soon proposed that the country should establish a regular army.
For the country, although this political marriage is beneficial and harmless, Chen Qiran feels that this matter is not so simple. First of all, the princess herself is a very scheming person, she even wants to take the throne of her mediocre father, let alone marry a man as mediocre as his father, so she will definitely not marry Karn because of a political sacrifice for the unity of the country, there must be some conspiracy in this.
After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Qiran barely got an answer, the palace master still has a lot of obstacles on the way to control the entire country.
