Chapter 288: A Year in a Flash!
Xiong Nai frowned, took a small step forward with his hands behind him, and his expression was solemn, "Wei Xuangong, this bastard won't cut Zhang Gong!" ”
"This..."Transcript frowned, "It's possible, after all, King Wei is not a person who plays cards according to common sense."
"Damn!" Xiong Nai couldn't help but be angry, and his fists clenched tightly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Majesty, Majesty, Your Majesty, Weichen is back!"
At this moment, there was a panting sound outside the hall, Xiong Nai and Zi Yi heard this, and their faces suddenly appeared happy, it was Zhang Gong, Zhang Gong was back.
Sure enough, when I turned my head to look, I saw Zhang Gong running over with a sweat on his head.
"Your Majesty, Wechen. . . Weichen did not fail in his mission and successfully persuaded the King of Wei to stop the war. Whew, so tired! ”
Zhang Gong ran to Xiong Nai and gasped and said, he couldn't catch his breath when he spoke, and he couldn't speak.
"Lord Zhang, drink water, drink water!" Transcription hurriedly brought a bowl of tea and handed it to Zhang Gong, but Zhang Gong was not polite and just took a sip.
"Whew! Call! ”
Zhang Gong exhaled two long breaths of air and calmed his violently beating heart.
"Zhang Aiqing, what did King Wei say?" Xiong Nai said curiously and expectantly.
Zhang Gong bowed to Xiong Nai and replied: "Your Majesty, the King of Wei agreed to a truce and stop the war, and took the initiative to mention the killing of prisoners, and is willing to pay two taels of silver to the family of each killed captive, and another ten taels of silver to the king, in order to thank the crime of killing the prisoners, and at the same time, also agree to marry!" ”
"What?"
Transcription and Xiong Nai were shocked, and what surprised them was not that Wei agreed to a truce and marriage, but that they took the initiative to mention the killing of prisoners and apologized.
According to the normal process, the princes who generally commit this kind of thing will try their best to justify or even deny it, and it is impossible to mention this matter, otherwise it will not be a slap in the face, lose your reputation, and kill a prisoner, this is not a trivial matter.
"This King Wei really doesn't play cards according to common sense!" Xiong Nai said coldly.
Transcription showed a look of approval, feeling that in the future, when dealing with the King of Wei, he could not play cards according to common sense, and he had to do the opposite.
"Where's the silver?" Xiong Nai asked.
"Just outside the temple!" Zhang Gong pointed to the outside of the hall and said.
Xiong Nai nodded, and then waved his hand lightly: "You go down and rest first!" ”
"No!" Zhang Gong bent down and saluted, turned and retreated.
As soon as Zhang Gong left, Xiong Nai turned to Shu Yi and said, "Take out 200,000 taels of silver and distribute them to the families of the killed captives, and ten taels will enter the Shaofu!" ”
"No!" Transcription bent down in response.
After this incident, Xiong Nai gradually developed a good impression of Wei, no matter what, King Wei was still a person who dared to act.
Wei State, Tianjing City, Royal Palace, Library Pavilion.
"There are 80,000 elites stationed in Jiqiu, 60,000 recruits and 20,000 elites in Mushroom City, 50,000 elites stationed in Central Asia Pass, 28,000 elites stationed in North Asia Pass, 2,000 elites stationed in Xiaguan, 100,000 elites stationed in Changshan, 60,000 recruits stationed in Pengcheng, 60,000 recruits stationed in Tongzheng, and 10,000 elites in Dashanling Silver and Copper Mine!"
"Your Majesty, my Wei State has a total of 470,000 troops, including 180,000 recruits and 290,000 elites. Each sub-guan only needs to garrison 2,000 troops, and at the same time, at the Yahe next to the four major sub-passes, there are 2,000 troops stationed in the sub-river? ”
Wei Li sat on the king's chair, and Meng Ge stood not far in front of him and proposed.
Wei Li gently closed his eyes, fell into a short period of contemplation, then opened his eyes, and said with a fine light: "Well, yes, in addition, the widow thinks that the soldiers and horses of the three cities of Tongzheng, Mushroom City, and Pengcheng will each send half of the soldiers for training, and after the training, let them return to the cities to garrison, and then draw out the other half of the untrained soldiers for training, the soldiers of Great Wei must be elite, as the so-called, there are no longer many soldiers, but the fine!" ”
"The king's words are reasonable and feasible!" Meng Ge nodded.
"Then let's do it!" Wei Li said indifferently.
"No!" Meng Ge nodded in response, then turned around and left the library pavilion.
Time flies, and the days go by.
When the order was issued, Xiahoude sent 4,000 troops to the East Asia Pass, guarded the East Asia Pass, and left 2,000 each in the East Asia Pass and the Central Asia River, a total of 4,000 troops, and then returned to the dynasty with 42,000 cavalry squads.
After receiving the order, Gongsun Xin also left 4,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Beiyaguan, led 24,000 soldiers and horses to return to the court, and at the same time transferred the yak to Changshan to guard Baiyue.
When the two waves of the army returned to Tianjing City, Wei freed up 6,600 soldiers and horses.
At the same time, 180,000 recruits also selected 90,000 recruits for rigorous training!
A year!
Zhengyun 21st, November 8th!
Wei Kingdom, Tianjing City, Royal Palace, Taizheng Palace!
Wei Li was dressed in formal clothes, high on the royal chair, looking around the ministers with sharp eyes, and hundreds of civil and military officials stood at His Royal Highness.
Meng Ge took a small step forward and bent down to make a report: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!" ”
"Play!" Wei Li's face was expressionless, and he replied indifferently.
"Your Majesty, after a year's time, the 11 million mu of fertile land in my Wei State has risen to 15 million mu, and a total of 50 million stone grain will be levied this year, in addition, according to the report of the State Household Division, this year, the youth of my Wei State has risen to 300,000!" Meng Ge looked very respectful and made a report.
"Yes, although there are countless grains and grasses in my Wei country, the more fertile land there is, the more stable the foundation of my Great Wei will be!" Wei Li's expression was solemn, and he said awe-inspiring with a suppressed voice.
"Your Majesty, this year's annual number of newborns will reach 400,000!" Meng Ge reported again.
Wei Li nodded with satisfaction, "400,000 newborns means that in a few years, my Great Wei will have more than 100,000 or even more than 200,000 elite troops!" ”
"Your Majesty, there is another thing, it is about the overage of soldiers!" Meng Ge said again.
The Wei State has been fighting for ten years, and many veterans are already overage.
"How many?" Wei Li raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Thirty thousand!" Meng Ge opened his mouth and replied.
"If they are discharged from the army, there is no need for the first rank of lieutenant for the time being!" Wei Li said aloud.
If you are over forty years old below the rank of lieutenant officer, you will be discharged from the army as usual!
This retreat, 470,000 elites are left with 440,000 elites.
"No!" Meng Ge replied with a respectful expression.
"A year has passed, this year, the new three states are stable, it's time to pull out the eyesore!" Wei Li's expression suddenly turned cold, and his eyes exuded monstrous murderous intent.
Although this year, the country of Lu and the country of Han have become the backyard of the Wei country, and they can enter and exit if they want to, but this is not enough, they have to completely become the territory of the Wei country!
When the civil and military officials heard this, they immediately cheered up, especially the four generals Gongsun Xin, Gu Wu, Xia Houde, and Bailihong, who were even more excited.
"Where is the cavalry general!" Wei Li snorted lightly!
PS: "Ask for a monthly pass, big brothers, I can sing a song, you ask questions, I'll sing!" ”
