"Look, not counting the border army, the equipment of the border army is eliminated more slowly, and all good things have to be close to the main force, right? Only counting the sixteen guards directly under the Central Committee of the Tang Dynasty, the total number of troops is more than 400,000......"

Listening to Fang Jun's babbling and settling accounts, Su Mingtai felt that his liver was trembling.

My mother, how can the Tang people have so many troops?

There are 400,000 people in the 16th Central Guard, and if you add the border troops from all over the country, the total number will not be less than one million......

What is the concept of a million army?

If you count all the wedges who are panting for breath as one, it probably can't be more than a million......

His first reaction was that Fang Jun was, scaring himself, but when he thought that the Tang Dynasty had even run around the grassland with the fierce Turks, he fled to the desert in the west and the ice and snow in the north, and knew that this number was probably not made up to scare him.

Think about it again, in the past, Emperor Huangji, Prince Katsuragi and others still imagined fighting with the Tang Dynasty from time to time, and if they could win, they would be able to attack the mainland...... He broke out in a cold sweat.

Such a comparison of national strength, it is not an exaggeration to say that Mount Tai is at the top, right?

Fang Jun's reckoning continues.

“…… Of the 400,000 troops, one-fifth of the ordnance needs to be maintained and repaired every year, and about one-third of these ordnance will be eliminated because it cannot be repaired or has no repair value...... Among them, there are about 20,000 swords, 8,000 spears, and less iron armor and leather armor, which add up to 500 pairs...... At the beginning, the price sold to the Ezo people was 100 pieces of swords, 130 pieces of spears, 300 pieces of leather armor, and 1,200 pieces of iron armor...... Therefore, if the Japanese state plans to buy the ordnance eliminated by the Tang army every year, then it will probably need about 3.5 million guan per year......"

Fang Jun was energetic, looked up at Su I Mingtai, was startled by his expression, and hurriedly said, "Are you listening?" ”

Su Mingtai's cheeks twitched, I was listening, I was just scared stupid......

Three and a half million guan?!

His face turned green when he heard the number!

During the reign of Emperor Gogoku, what was the annual revenue of the Wakoku Kingdom? 500,000 kan!

Su My family is the top wealthy family in the Japanese country, and it has been luxurious for hundreds of years, how much wealth is Su Wu's family? Real estate, buildings, and other valuable things are counted, and the estimated value is only one million!

The wealth accumulated by the emperors of the past dynasties, which was stolen by Fang Jun, was only about a million guan, and the silk of average value was burned to ashes, and the glass and porcelain were smashed to shreds......

Now you're telling me that the ordnance that Datang will eliminate in a year will cost 3.5 million yuan?

"Hmm...... Yes? Oh......" Su Mingtai was shocked and embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Let's talk about this, the top priority at the moment is to ask Hou Ye to send troops quickly to help me repel the Ezo people." ”

Fang Jun groaned: "It's not impossible to send troops, but if you look at the conditions that Ling Zun promised to you before, none of them have been fulfilled." As the commander-in-chief, although he has the right to command, he can't let his subordinates die on the battlefield, but in the end he can't get anything, right? That kind of low morale and unstable military morale is beyond the power of the superiors. ”

Su I Ming is too completely convinced, this person is almost invincible with a face, who just said that the gold looted from the palace was rewarded to the soldiers under his command?

It is impossible to move the Tang nobleman in front of him without benefits, but fortunately, although this person is a little shameless, he is still trustworthy......

Su I Ming said helplessly: "What does Master Hou want, please also instruct, Su and my family will do their best, and they will definitely agree to it." ”

If you want the horses to run, how can you not give them grass?

What's more, it is Tang Jun, a galloping horse......

Fang Jun sat there, his black face was slightly red, he looked a little confused, rubbed his hands, and said, "What's so embarrassing?" It seems that the official took advantage of the fire to rob, and it is inevitable that he will look down on his character......"

Su I am too speechless, aren't you?

Fortunately, Fang Jun didn't plan to wait for him to reply, and then said: "Since Brother Su is trying his best, the official is disrespectful, otherwise Brother Su will misunderstand and look down on you, and it will be in vain." ”

Su I Mingtai wanted to say: Come on, look down on me, I'm not angry......

Fang Jun said to himself: "Then you see this, since Nambatsu has been established as a treaty port between the two countries, there will definitely be a large number of Tang people coming to do business, so the Tang Dynasty is bound to send troops to be stationed here to protect the personal safety of Tang merchants." But you also know that sending troops to assist the Su family this time is actually against the national policy of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that this official sent troops privately without the permission of the political affairs hall...... Therefore, if he can get the support of the Japanese state, it will enable the official to reduce some of the punishment in front of the emperor. ”

This guy paved the way for a long time to get to the point, Su I couldn't help it, and said: "Master Hou can lead the army to help, and Su and my family are grateful for their kindness." Just say it, what kind of support do you need so that you can have an explanation in front of His Majesty the Tang Emperor? ”

Horizontal is also a knife, vertical is also a knife, it is better to simply order.

Fang Jun sighed with emotion: "I am really a hero of the Japanese country, with extraordinary bearing and righteousness!" Since he is so generous, this official is not embarrassed, so in this way, in the future, the military expenses of the Tang Army stationed in Nanbojin will be provided by the Wa State, so what if you are not satisfied? ”

Tang Jun...... Military?

Su I never expected that Fang Jun would put forward such an excessive condition, and you came to the Wa State to occupy the place of the Wa State, and forced the Wa State to trade, I don't know how many taxes are in vain every year, and in turn, the Wa State has to bear the military expenses of your garrison?

It's shameless!

He was almost stunned, but he finally resisted Fang Jun's successive shameless styles, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked worriedly: "I don't know how much Datang plans to garrison, and how much is the military spending?" ”

Fang Jun said casually: "The garrison doesn't need too much, 10,000 is enough, and the military expenses are in accordance with the minimum supply specifications of the Tang army, just 100,000 per year." ”

Su I Mingtai swallowed.

I'm ......

10,000 garrisons?

If the 10,000 garrisons were allowed to stay in Nambatsu, as long as there was any discord between the two countries, they would be able to reach Asukakyo in half a day and raze the Imperial Palace to the ground......

Su I Ming was too bitter and said, "This is absolutely unacceptable!" There is a saying among the Han people, which is said by a great hero, called 'On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore', and Nambatsu is so close to Asuka Kyo, how can so many troops be stationed at will? With the bravery of the Tang Army, three hundred is enough! ”

Fang Jun's eyelids jumped, mother, I've seen a bargain, but I've never seen someone cut so hard, directly from 10,000 to 300?

This kid's shameless face is very much my style......

"How can three hundred? At that time, there will be hundreds of merchants who will come to the Wa Kingdom to trade, and there will be millions of goods hoarded here, if anything goes wrong, will it be possible that your Wa Kingdom will be responsible for compensation? ”

Su I Ming was too much Khan, and it was not worth millions of yuan if he sold the imperial court of the Japanese State......

"Five hundred!"

"Five thousand, that is, look at your Su brother's face, otherwise the official will not give an inch!"

"A thousand! Up to a thousand! ”

"Three thousand! You're enough, the official treats you as a friend, and you use the official as a market vendor? No matter how verbose it is, believe it or not, this official has turned his face? ”

"Two thousand! This is the final bottom line, no more than one! ”

"That's fine, that's it!"

As a result, the garrison of Nambatsu was determined to be two thousand......

In fact, if you really want to destroy the Wa Kingdom, the elite of the Tang Army, which is equipped with heavy armor and earth-shattering thunder, is enough, and there is no need to fight a field battle, and it will be blown up in minutes by driving straight into Asukiya Jing......

Of course, the destruction of the Wa Kingdom is useless except to satisfy the obsession in the heart of the traverser.

The Wa Kingdom is here, the Wa people are also here, you destroy this emperor, and countless emperors stand up, and for the Tang Dynasty, which has many rich lands in China that have not yet been developed, the enclosure colonization of the world is simply a fool's behavior, and his own family has not made any profits, why do you occupy other people's land?

It is only necessary to occupy some strategic points to deter all countries, and then use trade means to grab a large amount of wealth, enrich it everywhere in the country, complete the construction of infrastructure, complete the financial system, promote commercial development, improve the living standards of the people, and vigorously develop education for all.

It would be a blessing if capitalism could be perfected as soon as possible......

Of course, in this land where Confucian culture has been immersed for thousands of years, it is actually difficult for capitalism to develop and grow, and the idea of "a gentleman is a man of righteousness and a villain is a man of profit" is deeply rooted and has long become a universal value, and it is not money that can change its course.
