"Your Majesty, this question depends on what you think, Your Majesty, whether the Emperor wants to defeat the White Lotus Sect quickly, or eliminate the influence of the White Lotus Sect once and for all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Shen Yan heard the emperor's obviously a little difficult question, a touch of contemplation flashed in his eyes, he pondered for a moment, a confident look flashed in his eyes, met the emperor's gaze, and said loudly.

"Oh, how do you say? Could it be that there is no difference here? Xia Qi didn't seem to expect Shen Yan to answer him like this.

"Your Majesty, what Weichen means is to say that if you want to quickly defeat the White Lotus Sect, establish the prestige of the imperial court, and make many people tremble, you must have at least 200,000 soldiers and horses. If the emperor wants to solve the influence and scourge of the White Lotus Sect for a long time, Weichen thinks that 70,000 soldiers and horses will be enough. Of course, the premise is that the combat effectiveness of these forces must be equal to the strength of the Great Xia Royal Army. Shen Yan's eyes flashed with a strong confidence, and a hearty smile appeared on his handsome face, and he said confidently.

"70,000 soldiers and horses, only 20,000 more than the former army of Jinling, do you think you are even more powerful than Luo Yuhui? Are you better at leading battles? When Xia Qi heard Shen Yan's words, a strange look appeared in his eyes, and he asked slowly with a touch of contemplation.

"Your Majesty, how can Weichen be compared with Luo Zongbing, when Luo Zongbing led the army to fight, Weichen didn't know where he was? General Luo's defeat this time was due to the arrogance of the enemy, and he did not have a positive understanding of the strength of the White Lotus Sect and wanted to complete the battle. Weichen is different, Weichen has fought with the White Lotus Sect, understands the details of the White Lotus Sect, and will definitely not take the enemy lightly and rush forward, and will definitely take the initiative to concentrate superior forces to eliminate the living force of the White Lotus Sect, so as to continuously reduce the influence of the White Lotus Sect in the local area, plus some pacification means, within a year, the White Lotus Sect will definitely disappear in Huaibei County, if the local people are exempted from some taxes, the White Lotus Sect must have no soil for survival. Shen Yan understood the meaning of the emperor's words, however, he had his own pride, and it was true that 70,000 soldiers and horses could not wipe out the White Lotus Sect in a period of time, but in the long run, it would definitely be possible.

"I see." After listening to Shen Yan's words, Xia Qi fell into deep contemplation, and constantly reflected on the feasibility of Shen Yan's words in his mind.

"The matter of Jinyi School, you must sort out a clue in the past two days, the identity of the Beihu National Teacher is about to be announced, I don't want the people of the Beihu National Teacher to appear in Jinling, the Jinyi School is still a bunch of chaos." Xia Qi's eyes showed a look of encouragement, glanced at Shen Yan, and said slowly.

"Please rest assured, Weichen has been focusing on the affairs of Jinyi School in the past two days, and he has already figured out a clue, and the rest is to deal with it, to win over it, and to supplement it in time." Shen Yan heard that the emperor turned the topic to the Jinyi School, and a confident smile appeared in his eyes, the Jinyi School has Ma Shichao and a few people to deal with, and there will definitely be a plan tomorrow morning at the latest, and the rest is to recruit novices, however, this matter is not urgent for the time being, and can only make the existing personnel work harder, and it is a big deal to issue a little more salary.

"Well, I still fully believe in your handling ability, and since you came out, I have a good idea of everything I have handled, and I am very relieved." Hearing Shen Yan's confident reply, a touch of approval appeared in Xia Qi's eyes.

"Deal with the matter of the Jinyi School, and don't forget the training of the Great Xia Royal Army, the matter of the military department and the criminal department, lest the people from the military department and the criminal department come to me to beat you for a small report, and it will be difficult for me to handle it at that time." Xia Qi looked at Shen Yan's serious demeanor, feeling that his words might be a little depressed, his eyes rolled slightly, he forgot Shen Yan's glance, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said softly.

"Please rest assured, the emperor has already come up with some plans for the training of the Great Xia Royal Army, and the following people are also very active in implementing Weichen's training plan, and the training results are also steadily improving. As for the affairs of the Ministry of War and the Criminal Department, after the ministers leave the palace, they will order a little before they leave the palace to see if there is anything that Weichen can deal with. A faint smile flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, and he originally wanted to delay for two days to go to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment to point out, after all, the impression left by these two parts on him was really not very good, so there were some negative and conflicting plots hidden in his heart, since the emperor took the initiative to mention it, it was only to adjust his mentality.

"Before, I allowed the Great Xia Royal Army to expand to 5,000 people, how is the soldier now?" Xia Qi saw Shen Yan's confident demeanor, coupled with his trust in Shen Yan, and did not perceive the negative resistance hidden in Shen Yan's heart, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, looked at Shen Yan, and said slowly.

"Back to the emperor, Weichen has not expanded the army for the time being in the past two days." An inexplicable look appeared in Shen Yan's eyes, and he said softly.

"Is it a lack of candidates, or something else." When Xia Qi heard Shen Yan's return, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, according to the development trend of the Great Xia Royal Army, he should not worry about the expansion of the army, but Shen Yan's answer really surprised him.

"Back to the emperor, there have been some people who have come to greet Weichen in the past two days, hoping to recruit their people to the Daxia Royal Army, Wechen refused at that time, this is not that Weichen elevates himself, but Weichen thinks that the emperor's soldiers of the Daxia Royal Army will never allow the power of other forces to infiltrate, otherwise, the Daxia Royal Army will deteriorate, this is not the result that Weichen wants, therefore, in order to avoid these unnecessary troubles, Weichen did not stay in the barracks on the outskirts of Beijing, and at the same time released the wind, No recruits are recruited for the time being. When Shen Yan said this, a distressed smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth, although he had expected that there would be many people who wanted to insert them, but he didn't expect that the situation would be so violent.

"Your idea is very good, I feel that no one else's shadow is allowed in the Great Xia Royal Army, even if the number of troops is smaller, we must ensure the purity of the soldiers of the Great Xia Royal Army." Hearing Shen Yan's words, a look of approval appeared in Xia Qi's eyes, he really didn't expect Shen Yan to think about this matter so thoroughly, it seems that Shen Yan has indeed matured a lot during this period of time, and has the style of a general who is in charge of himself.

"Thank you for the emperor's support to Weichen, Weichen will definitely not live up to the emperor's trust and respect for Weichen, and will definitely not disappoint the emperor." Hearing the emperor's approval, Shen Yan gently patted his chest and hurriedly promised.
