It's just that less than two months after the end of the war, Tonghai came to visit, and Duan Siying, the eldest son of Duan Siping, personally led the team, which couldn't help but seem a little unusual.

The situation in the entire southwest has reached the most critical moment. The Great Yi Ning State is perverse, the people rebel and leave, the country is divided and the disaster is in sight, the powerful Nanzhao in the Tang Dynasty no longer exists, and the territory of the Great Yi Ning State that inherited the Nanzhao regime is less than one-third of the heyday of the Nanzhao, and the actual population under its jurisdiction is less than one-fifth, which can be said to be the end of the road in the twilight.

Although the current territory of Tonghai is still less than half of that of Dayi Ningguo, the people under its jurisdiction live in harmony and unity, and the army is strong and united. Coupled with the dozens of other tribes around them, they all responded in groups, and they were all the only ones who looked forward to the seahorses, and this force was really not to be underestimated.

According to the historical trend that he predicted, in April next year, the Tonghai side will connect with 37 white barbarian tribes, and after the Ningzhou will swear an oath, it will break through the Jinning defense line and the Xiaguan with the natural danger of the Yuanjiang River in one fell swoop, and go straight to the eastern capital of the Great Yi Ning Kingdom and the capital of the Great Yi Ning Kingdom in two ways, and completely bury the Great Yi Ning Kingdom.

But this is a year later, with the current strength of Tonghai, I am afraid that the cornerstone of the Dayi Ning Kingdom cannot be shaken now, and this is also the inevitable trend of history, so it can only be natural.

But choosing Ningzhou as their alliance, Li Yi was a little incomprehensible, how could Ningzhou be such an incomprehensible choice now in the hands of Han Yunnan?

Back at the Xuanfu Embassy in Ningzhou, Li Yi did not immediately summon Duan Siying, but immediately called Lin Yi to the study.

Before Li Yi could ask, Lin Yi already understood his intentions, and said with a solemn face: "Dashuai, do you think there is something strange about Tonghai?" They didn't come early or late, but they waited for us to repel the Great Yi Ning Kingdom with great difficulty, which is always a little intriguing. Speaking of which, the victory in this defensive battle is thanks to them, hehe! Are they here to sell good ones? ”

Li Yi smiled dumbly and said, "Although what the sixth brother said is not true, it is not far away!" It's just that while they are selling well, with this silent cooperation between the two sides, there must be a more important purpose, otherwise, Duan Siping would not have sent his eldest son Duan Siying here. ”

Lin Yi smiled slightly: "Now the situation of the three parties is very delicate, we now have a bitter hatred with Dayining State, and we are already incompatible, water and fire are incompatible, at this juncture, Duan Siping's purpose is not very clear?" ”

"You must know that our Pingyang Pass is only fifty miles away from Shanyang Mansion, as long as there is a bluff of an elite army, it will make Yang Huaiying of Shanxian Mansion uneasy all night, so as to vigorously strengthen their defensive forces at Songyang Pass. Considering this and losing the other, wouldn't the Jinning defense line be much looser, and Duan Siping and the others would have the opportunity to take advantage of the weakness, this abacus is not loud! ”

Li Yi laughed when he heard this: "What the sixth brother thinks and thinks really coincides with me!" However, since Duan Siping is helping us, we can't sit idly by when they need it. As long as it does not harm our core interests, we must still help those who should be helped. ”

Seeing that Lin Yi nodded in agreement, Li Yi continued: "In addition! The last invasion of the Great Yi Ningguo, our officers and soldiers suffered a lot of losses, although the pension is very generous, but the families of the fallen soldiers have not been relieved from their grief, their life care work must not be relaxed, only to solve problems for them, take care of the lives of their families, this can make us not lose faith in others! ”

"You should be clear about the purpose of what I said, soon we will have to recruit troops on a large scale, and without the support of the people of Yunnan, we will have no soldiers."

"However, the scope of our Yunnan is limited, and the population is not very large, so this recruitment should adopt the contract recruitment method, and all newly recruited soldiers must serve for a certain period of time, and after the service period expires, they can be disarmed and returned to the fields and returned to the township, so as to reduce the heavy burden of supporting a large number of troops. You must make overall plans and arrangements for this matter, and start to make publicity preparations in the near future! ”

When Lin Yi heard this, he said with appreciation on his face: "This method is good, so that it can not only ensure that the army is full at any time and can fight at any time, but also ensure that the combat effectiveness of the army does not decline." Moreover, at the end of the war, some officers and soldiers can be disarmed and returned to their hometowns without delaying local agricultural production. ”

"According to this contract-based recruitment system, whether it is our government or the people who meet the recruitment conditions, these burdens will be greatly reduced, and the saved funds can be of greater use."

"In addition, I have the idea that according to their performance in the service, the best part of this group of contract soldiers can join the active service, enrich the standing army, and greatly improve their salary. Those with top-notch performance can also be sent to the 'Yunnan Lecture Martial Arts Hall' for further study and promoted to the ranks of grassroots officers in Yunnan. ”

"On the other hand, some people who are doing well and are unwilling to return to their hometowns to work as farmers can also work in urban defense, public security, and yamen, and give them a decent means of livelihood to relieve their worries. I don't know what the big guy thinks? ”

After Lin Yi finished speaking, Li Yi couldn't help but nod happily and said: "Sixth Brother is very thoughtful, in this way, there will be many people who are willing to join the army, what else do we have to worry about!" I think this is the case, and we will try to finish the recruitment work within three months. ”

Lin Yi happily took the order and left, and Li Yi rushed to the back house to change clothes, after all, he has been busy in the mountains and forests these days, although he brought a change of clothes like a send, but the clothes on his body don't know how many times they have been soaked, how can such a costume go to meet the distinguished guests of Tonghai!

As if seeing that Li Yi had finally returned to the inner house, of course he was very happy, and hurriedly prepared bath water and clean clothes for him, and waited for him to take a bath.

The news of Li Yi's injury in Fengming Village had already been told to everyone, but she was not told, so she was still in the dark.

When he learned that he was going to meet the guests again, he was a little reluctant. Li Yi had no choice but to listen to the words and persuade him, and after holding the three-month-old Ning Er and teasing him, he hurried to the conference hall.

Seeing Duan Siying again, this young man who is older than Li Yi is still the same as before, but he didn't see Dao Hongying by his side, maybe Dao Hongying is no longer willing to face himself on such an occasion in order to cut off this relationship. ()
