Chapter 19: Sitting on the Mountain and Watching the Tiger Fight!

"What did you say?" asked the Queen Mother again.

"Queen Mother, I want to recruit these soldiers, as long as their physical fitness is qualified, they can join the army, not only that, as long as their families have joined the army, they will be exempted from taxes, and they will escape from Nanling to here, survival of the fittest, those old and weak women and children have long been eliminated, so it is the best thing to let them fill the army. ”

"Then there are the remaining homeless people who can't join the army, I let them go to the capital, and the household department coordinates and manages these people, let them live first, and as for whether to return to Nanling or stay in Chang'an in the future, it is up to them to choose. ”

Although there are 40,000 or 50,000 displaced people here, there are more than 30,000 strong men, all of whom can join the army, and they can be exempted from taxes by their families, and they will definitely be willing to join the army.

"Your Majesty, although your plan works, but our Qin State already has so many soldiers, if we add more soldiers, I'm afraid it will make the situation in our Great Qin turbulent!" the Queen Mother retorted.

The reason for the Queen Mother's refutation was a bit far-fetched, because she didn't know that Li Yun would do this, and letting these homeless people fill the army was a good thing for the whole country, which not only enhanced the national strength, but also allowed these homeless people to have food, which was indeed a good way.

It's just that the Queen Mother didn't want Li Yun to solve this matter, so she refuted Li Yun.

At this time, Li Yun slowly stood up and said loudly: "The army is the foundation of a strong country, and now the surrounding countries are eyeing our Qin country, if we don't expand the army, when the enemy country comes to attack, who will defend our home and defend the country? No one will defend our country for us, then my great Qin country, won't it be given to others in vain?"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

At this moment, Lin Xiang hurriedly knelt down and supported Li Yun.

This is something that Li Yun and the prime minister have discussed a long time ago, Li Yun proposed a plan, and the prime minister supported it, and Li Yun would classify this army into the ironclad army.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Suddenly, half of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down with the prime minister, they were all members of the prime minister's party, and the prime minister had already discussed with them.

And the ministers of the Queen Mother's party looked at each other and didn't know what to do for a while?

At this time, the Queen Mother slowly stood up and said: "Your Majesty is really smart, since Your Majesty wants these homeless people to join the army, then everything is subject to Your Majesty's arrangement." ”

The Queen Mother saw that half of the people in the Manchu Dynasty supported Li Yun, and she had no good way to refute Li Yun for the time being, so she had to admit defeat and let this Li Yun win a game first.

However, the Queen Mother was not so simple, I saw her continue: "Since Your Majesty wants these homeless people to join the army, let them join Your Majesty's Imperial Forest Army!"

Li Yun looked at the Queen Mother, he didn't expect the Queen Mother's reaction to be so fast.

The Queen Mother knew that the prime minister was secretly helping Li Yun, and Li Yun's plan could indeed solve the problem of the displaced people, although there were still many ministers who were biased towards her side, but she could not refer to the deer as a horse, so this time, she was defeated.

But it's not a complete defeat.

Because Li Yun said that he wanted to fill these homeless people into the army, at present, the commander of the Royal Forest Army has been bought by the Queen Mother, so the Queen Mother is equivalent to controlling the entire Royal Forest Army, if these homeless people join their Royal Forest Army, it will be a force that cannot be underestimated.

Now that she is equal to the prime minister's military strength, if this force joins her, it will be much easier to solve the prime minister.

So she has to take control of the army into her own hands anyway.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager asked Li Yun to include this army of displaced people in the Imperial Forest Army.

At this time, Li Yun did not speak.

Because he has already laid out the game, no matter which side this army is drawn into, it will not have the slightest effect on him, because he has already laid out the dark chess in the army, no matter where the army is, it will be in his own control in the end.

He is not in a hurry, the one who is in a hurry is the prime minister.

If the prime minister is in a hurry, the prime minister will definitely stand up and fight with the queen mother, then he can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

And the prime minister is no longer the one who secretly operates everything, he will become a thorn in the side of the queen mother, so that the queen mother's attention will continue to divert from her side, and she will have more time to plan for the seizure of power.

Since the day Li Yun crossed over, Li Yun had already decided that although he was now just a puppet emperor with no rights, one day, he would become a real peerless emperor!

At this moment, the prime minister suddenly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks this matter is inappropriate, the Imperial Forest Army is the army that guards the safety of the palace, it is Your Majesty's personal guard, and the safety of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother is in the hands of the Imperial Forest Army, and these homeless people are just some uneducated country villagers, how can they protect the safety of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother? According to the minister's view, the army composed of these homeless people should be drawn under the minister's ironclad army!"

Li Yun smiled, Lin Xiang, the old fox, really couldn't sit still, but it didn't matter who the exiled army was under whom, there was only one thing he had to do, and that was to intensify the contradiction between the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister.

So Li Yun smiled slightly and said: "What the prime minister said is reasonable, otherwise these homeless armies will be drawn under the wave of the ironclad army, queen mother, what do you think?"

At this time, the Queen Mother smiled indifferently: "The prime minister is too worried, whether it is a rural village man or a literary scholar, they are all the people of my Great Qin, the first emperor said, my people of Great Qin do not follow the noble and lowly, since we let them join the army, we should accept them." ”

"And our palace is the most important place in the world, and now that the countries are eyeing each other, and the palace has too few guards, in my opinion, I think these outcasts should join the Imperial Guard. ”

Li Yun was very happy when he saw the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister fighting.

Because of this, whether it is the prime minister and the queen mother, they will set their eyes on each other, which is a great good thing for themselves.

It's just that the battle between them is not fierce enough, how can the queen mother and the prime minister fight?

It is necessary to let the henchmen of the queen mother and the prime minister participate.

Li Yun held the mentality of not thinking that it was a big deal, and looked at the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu Dao:

"I think what the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister said makes sense, so what do you think? Do you think these armies should join the Imperial Forest Army or the Iron Armor Army?"

As soon as these words came out, the court suddenly exploded!

Because they are in different camps, each of them has to fight for this army for the master of their family.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this army of exiles should join the Imperial Forest Army!" said Tobe Shangshu immediately knelt down.

But when the military department Shangshu saw the household department Shangshu kneeling, he also immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should join the ironclad army!"

Suddenly, one after another, the courtiers knelt down one after another and recommended to Li Yun the belongings of this army.

Seeing that the ministers of the DPRK and China were like this, Li Yun's heart was full of joy.

Because only now did he have a hint of being an emperor.

In the past, he was just a useless puppet, and no minister in the DPRK and China even looked up to him.

Everyone treated Li Yun as a pawn.

But now, Li Yun has completely changed the situation through his own stratagem, and he has calculated everyone in his plan. Everyone in the court, even the queen mother and the prime minister, have become pawns in their own calculations, and this feeling is what it feels like to be a real emperor.

Li Yun liked this feeling very much.

Therefore, he must seize power and make himself the real emperor!

Above the Manchu Dynasty, the pot suddenly exploded, and they were all arguing about the ownership of this army, and the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister were of equal strength, so no one could help anyone.

Almost all the courtiers expressed their attitudes, and at this time, the Queen Mother looked at Li Yun and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers of the court and the central government have all expressed their positions, now there is only you, who do you think this homeless person should give to?"

In the end, there was an endless dispute, and only Li Yun was the only one to solve this matter and give this matter a round.

Li Yun thought for a while and said lightly: "Whether it is the Royal Forest Army or the Iron Armor Army, it is my Great Qin's army, since it is the army of Great Qin, why should it be so clear, no matter which army you join, it is all for the service of my Great Qin, since you both are arguing, then I have thought of a way to do both for you." ”

"Your Majesty, I don't know what to do?" the Queen Mother asked faintly in the back.

"Since the Imperial Forest Army and the Iron Armor Army are the same, so are the other armies, so I decided to make this army of outcasts a pair of its own and name it the Iron Forest Army?" Li Yun said lightly.

Indeed, now that the two sides are at loggerheads, the best thing to do is to make this army an army of its own.

Now the power of the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister are about the same, no matter which side this army joins, it is very unfavorable for the other side, so neither the Queen Mother nor the Prime Minister want this situation to occur.

The Queen Mother said lightly: "Since our two sides are arguing, then I agree with the emperor's statement, let this army of exiles be renamed the Tielin Army, form its own team, and not join any of the forces!"

The prime minister also said lightly: "The minister is absolutely Your Majesty's idea is very good, so the minister is willing to support Your Majesty!"

"What about Zhong Aiqing, what do you think?" Li Yun looked at all the ministers.

"The Emperor Shengming!"

Suddenly, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces instantly knelt down and knelt in front of Li Yun.

"Okay, since that's the case, then this army is called the Tielin Army, and it belongs to me!"
