Chapter 69: The Return to the Barracks
"Your Highness, I think another 300,000 soldiers should be recruited!"
Facing Yun Yi's question, Guo Jia replied in a condensed voice.
"Oh? What's in the insight? β
"Back to Your Highness, first, my Great Shang national strength is limited, and the treasury is empty, if I don't copy the Xun family this time, I'm afraid I can't even afford to raise 100,000!"
"Second, soldiers are more expensive, not too much, and raising too much will become a burden!"
"I am on the border of the Quartet, mainly because Nanqiang and Brunei are the most hostile to us! As long as we can destroy these two families, then it will be the time for me to make a big deal about the world! β
"So, recruiting 300,000 troops is enough!"
"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable!"
Li Ru on the side praised Guo Jia.
"Good!"
At this time, a shout of surprise suddenly came from the door, and Yun Yi was suddenly startled, it turned out to be the Shang Emperor!
Why is his father like a voyeur, always like to peek and eavesdrop in the dark?
As soon as he saw Emperor Shang's expression at this time, Yun Yi knew that he was afraid that everything he said just now had been heard by Emperor Shang.
"See Father (Your Majesty)!"
"Flat!"
Emperor Shang spontaneously walked to the throne and sat down, not at all ashamed of eavesdropping.
"Why is my father here?"
Yun Yi was a little strange, didn't he just come back from the palace? The Empress of Shang is following on her feet?
"Well, I want to see the eighteen guards who slaughtered the Xun family with you!" Emperor Shang smiled faintly and said.
"Father, they are all outside the city!"
Yun Yi was vigilant suddenly, didn't this old guy want to take away Yan Yun's eighteen horses for his own use, right?
"Oh? It looks like I won't see you today! β
The old guy smiled slightly, not knowing what it meant.
"When I came, I heard you talking about recruitment?"
Shang Huang looked at Guo Jia.
Yun Yi praised Guo Jia in front of him and several ministers before, they didn't take it seriously, but now that they look at it, they really have some skills!
Why is there so much talent around this kid?
At this time, Yun Yi nodded and said with a serious expression:
"Back to my father, we believe that at present, the strength of the Great Merchants is seriously insufficient, and the troops on the border of the Quartet cannot be moved lightly, resulting in my Great Merchants being extremely passive in the face of emergencies!"
"yes!"
Shang Huang nodded approvingly, but sighed helplessly:
"In the past, the treasury couldn't even come up with 700,000 military spending, so how could we talk about recruiting troops?"
"But I didn't expect that when you laid down a Xun family, its inventory would be about the same as the tax revenue of the big merchant in a year!"
"To be honest, I want to slaughter all these scourges now, and then the national strength of the Shang Kingdom will be greatly improved!"
"Father, if your words get out, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos!" Yun Yi said with a smile.
"Hmph, this time the Xun family is exterminated, presumably the other three families will not be without action! I just don't know how they'll react! Shang Huang snorted coldly and said.
Yun Yi said with a smile: "Father, the Xun family is my mother's family, so naturally I won't do anything stupid!" β
"And the Zhao family is far away in Jiangnan, at most they are moving in their one-third of an acre of land, and their hands can't reach out to Chang'an!"
"So, I'm afraid that the only one who will jump out and jump out when the time comes!"
When Emperor Shang heard this analysis, he nodded in agreement, and then shook his head again, not knowing what he was thinking.
"That's it, I'll arrange the recruitment after I go back!"
"That's right!" Emperor Shang said as if he remembered something:
"How's your training going?"
Previously, Emperor Shang gave Yun Yi the official position of military attachΓ©, but later found that Yun Yi was very impressive, but recently Emperor Shang didn't ask again, and he didn't know how he practiced.
Yun Yi was also stunned, he had been busy with the wine shop these days, but he had neglected the barracks, but with Qin Qiong Gao Shun and others here, he was not worried.
"Father, I promise not to let you down!" Yun Yi replied confidently.
"Oh? Is it? I remember, haven't you been to the barracks for three days? Are you so confident? β
Shang Huang said playfully.
Seeing Emperor Shang like this, Yun Yi smiled.
Just kidding, with the ability of Qin Qiong and the others, if he can't even bring a mere 3,000 people, then he can hang himself.
"Father, it's not that I'm confident, it's that I believe in their abilities!" Yun Yi said with a smile.
"Are you talking about Zhao Yun?"
Yun Yi shook his head and said:
"Although Brother Zilong is powerful, he can't be called a peerless general in terms of commanders!"
"A peerless general? So you have a peerless celebrity under your hands? β
Emperor Shang was full of disbelief, in the entire Great Shang, only the military god Yu Xiangrong was qualified to be called a peerless famous general.
This kid, for a while, there will be a Zhao Yun who will be strong enough to stand up to the sky, and for a while, there will be a team of 18 guards who will destroy 1,000 people, and now he will say that he has a peerless general in his hands? I really thought that the whole world revolved around you......
Forehead...... Emperor Shang suddenly fell silent.
At this time, Yun Yi said modestly:
"I can't talk about a peerless famous general, but he is indeed a general who can lead troops into battle!"
"Humph! In that case, I would like to see what kind of general you are talking about in three days! β
"Okay, since my father doesn't believe it, then we'll know at a glance!"
Yun Yi smiled, in fact, he also wanted to see if he had a miraculous effect on ancient soldiers after he left the modern art of war.
After the two decided, they said they would leave.
Because Lu Hongfeng went to Fujiang, this time the Shang Emperor came out in casual clothes, and he didn't bring anyone, so the two rode directly to the barracks.
Soon, the two came to the barracks, and the barracks guards recognized the two at a glance and hurriedly saluted.
"See Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Zhongling!"
Emperor Shang nodded, and before he could go in, the deputy commander ran over.
"See Your Majesty!"
"Well, it's okay, you guys go get busy! I'm going around with King Zhongling! β
The commander froze in place, not knowing what to do.
Soon, Yun Yi and Shang Huang quietly appeared in the corner of the barracks.
"Kill!"
In the training ground, figures ran quickly.
One by one, they chased after the other, screaming and screaming.
Qin Qiong and Zhao Yun stood on the high platform, staring down.
"Hurry up again! Didn't you all eat? My first battalion doesn't raise waste! β
More than a dozen training halls constantly patrol the training grounds, and if anyone is found to be lazy, they will immediately be caught and punished.
Emperor Shang looked at the desperate scene of these soldiers, his heart was shocked, and he said with an incredible face:
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that in three days, I could make these soldiers improve a lot!"
Yun Yi was naturally very satisfied with the training results, but he smiled slightly bitterly:
"Father, three meals a day, and meat at every meal, can they not train hard!"
When he made this decision, Yun Yi didn't feel anything, but he just added one meal to two meals a day.
Unexpectedly, in just three days, a huge amount of expenses were spent.
