Chapter 716: Discussing Recruitment
Chapter 716: Discussing Recruitment
When Lord Liu heard Qin Meiniang say this, he also hugged his fists and responded:
"Please rest assured, if there are casualties in these two martial arts halls this time, after the lower officials go down, they will arrange for someone to send silver to each martial arts hall as soon as possible, please don't worry about this matter."
Qin Meiniang also slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Well, then there's Lord Lao Liu."
Lord Liu also hugged his fists:
"The princess is serious, and it is my blessing that the lower officials can serve the princess."
Qin Meiniang also choked up, and then asked with a serious face:
"By the way, you just said that you are going to take the treasury silver of this county and recruit troops and horses, how much is the treasury silver of this county? If you recruit troops and horses on a large scale, the troops and horses under your command will be enough in the future, and you will need a lot of silver to maintain the follow-up food and grass and other problems! Can the county's treasury bank support such a large overhead? Also, the newly recruited horses and soldiers all require a long time of training, and it is estimated that the time to come and go will be very long, I don't think this method is the best way! ”
After listening to Qin Meiniang's analysis, Lord Liu couldn't help frowning, and echoed:
"What the princess said is not unreasonable, but if we don't recruit troops and strengthen our forces now, then if the emperor sends a large number of soldiers to destroy us again at this critical point, then it will be difficult for us to compete with the emperor!"
Qin Meiniang also looked embarrassed, and said:
"Yes! The crux of the matter is that if the emperor sends soldiers to exterminate us, then according to the small number of troops we have now, it will definitely be difficult to defeat the emperor, but even if we can recruit a sufficient number of troops and horses in a short period of time, these bought horses and soldiers will not have combat effectiveness at all! Therefore, it is impossible to form a strong force at all! ”
Lord Liu was also stunned, then nodded and said:
"Well, what the princess said is not bad at all, now our best strategy is to reduce the cost of silver, and then recruit as many soldiers as possible who know martial arts, only in this way can we form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time, and we can compete with the emperor!"
After Qin Meiniang listened to Lord Liu's words, she also breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"It seems that there is only such a way, in fact, I have already thought of a way in my heart, I originally wanted to use it as a last resort, but now it seems that I can't wait."
Lord Liu also hugged his fists and asked:
"I wonder what the princess came up with?"
Qin Meiniang also blurted out immediately:
"The way I came up is that there are a lot of martial arts halls and dart bureaus in this Lin'an County, and the disciples in this martial arts hall and dart bureau are more or less good at martial arts, if we can find a way to persuade the heads of these martial arts halls and the dart heads of the dart bureaus to come, and let them all transfer some of their disciples to join our command, then our forces will increase a lot in a short period of time, and we must be able to gradually form a force to compete with the emperor."
After Lord Liu listened to the method that Qin Meiniang came up with, he couldn't help but be stunned, and after pondering for a while, he immediately said:
"Princess, it's good that you came up with this method, but what you don't know, the reason why there are so many large and small martial arts halls and dart bureaus in our Lin'an County is actually related to the measures implemented by Xiaguan, because Xiaguan is not like the county adults in other counties, and a large number of people who have opened martial arts halls and dart bureaus in the city have caused many people to come to Lin'an County with their subordinates to open martial arts halls and dart bureaus, although the people who have opened martial arts halls and dart bureaus in Lin'an County have opened martial arts halls and dart bureaus in Lin'an County. On weekdays, it is very face-saving for the lower officials, and now, if you want to let the disciples of these martial arts halls and dart bureaus come to fill the army, it is estimated that the head of these martial arts halls and the dart head of the dart bureau will definitely not agree, you know, these martial arts halls and dart bureaus are relying on their disciples to earn silver, and now if the princess lets them all come to fill the army, the difficulty can be imagined! ”
After listening to the words given by Lord Liu, Qin Meiniang immediately frowned and said:
"Oh! According to Lord Liu, is it difficult for me to work this way? ”
Lord Liu also nodded, and then replied:
"Back to the princess, if you come up with this method, it would be very good if the heads and darts of the martial arts hall and dart bureau in this city could unconditionally support the princess, if they didn't support it, it would be difficult to accumulate soldiers."
Qin Meiniang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said with a firm look in her eyes:
"Right now, we can't do anything better! I think this method can be tried, besides, I don't let the martial arts hall and dart bureau in this city, recruit all the disciples under their command to fill the army, this is in line with the original intention of voluntary, the head of these martial arts halls and the dart head of the dart bureau can reasonably arrange the disciples under them to fill the army according to the number of disciples under them! Of course, I will also compensate these martial arts halls and dart games with some silver! I won't let them send their disciples to fill the army in vain! ”
Lord Liu also clenched his fists and said slowly:
"Princess, Xia Guan thinks that this method you have come up with can be tried, but whether it has a good effect and attracts more soldiers, this is not easy to speculate now, after Xia Guan goes down, he will personally arrange someone to be the princess's idea, send people to the various martial arts halls and dart bureaus in this city, and if there is a good result, Xia Guan will personally report to the princess."
Qin Meiniang choked up, stood up, and said:
"Okay, then I will also go to several big martial arts halls and dart bureaus in this city, and personally ask for their help and assistance, and strive to recruit enough forces as soon as possible."
Lord Liu also clenched his fists and bowed his head to Qin Meiniang:
"Yes, princess, then the lower official will go down first to deal with these things explained by the master."
Qin Meiniang also waved her hand and said:
"Okay, then Master Liu will go down and do these things first!"
Lord Liu also turned around immediately, and then walked quickly to the outside of the door.
After walking out of the door, Lord Liu also immediately arranged for his subordinates to go to the silver treasury in the county town to get some amount of silver, and he was going to personally go to the two martial arts halls where Qin Meiniang had borrowed helpers in Lin'an County before, and personally sent the silver to comfort the disciples of the martial arts hall who were injured and injured.
Qin Meiniang also prepared her whole body and soul for the time being, recruiting soldiers in the martial arts hall and dart bureau in Lin'an County.
On one side, inside the Imperial Palace in Kyoto Castle.
The Emperor of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom also looked restless, and he had a sad face.
Because, many things made the Emperor of Jinfeng feel very angry and unhappy.
Yan Guo also sent a messenger urging 1,500 taels of gold, and also gave an ultimatum, the emperor of Yan State spoke, if after a while, if Jin Fengguo still could not return the 1,500 taels of gold owed to Yan State, then Yan State would also attack the border of Jin Feng State.
On the other hand, the envoy sent to the Great Britain Kingdom to sue for peace also came back to report that the emperor of the Great Britain Kingdom did not agree to Jin Fengguo's request for peace at all.
The purpose of the Great Britain Kingdom is also very clear, the Great Britain Kingdom wants to take the Golden Phoenix Kingdom in one fell swoop and annex the Golden Phoenix Kingdom.
Therefore, the current crisis of Jin Fengguo is very terrible.
After a while, the prime minister of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom also came to the palace of the emperor of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom.
After coming to the palace of the emperor of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom, the prime minister of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom also paid homage to the emperor of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom:
"See the Emperor."
The emperor of Jin Fengguo was also stunned, and then stopped wandering and said:
"Prime Minister, you're here!"
The prime minister of this Jin Feng Kingdom is also holding his fists:
"The emperor is in such a hurry to summon his ministers, why is it that he is here?"
The Emperor of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom also said with a sad face:
"It's not like the prime minister doesn't know the current situation! The Great Britain Kingdom also did not agree to our Golden Phoenix Kingdom's request for peace, and the Great Britain Kingdom also made it clear that it wanted to annex our Golden Phoenix Kingdom, and the Yan Kingdom also sent a reminder to ask for the 1,500 taels of gold that had been lent to us by the Golden Phoenix Kingdom, and the emperor of the Yan Kingdom had already given us an ultimatum to the Golden Phoenix Kingdom, if the 1,500 taels of gold owed to the Yan Kingdom were not returned after ten days, then the Yan Kingdom would send troops to attack our Golden Phoenix Kingdom! Now, all the soldiers and horses that our Golden Phoenix Kingdom can mobilize have gone to the front line, where can I still mobilize soldiers and horses now! If Yan Guo really sends troops to attack our Jinfeng Kingdom, then the border between our Jinfeng Kingdom and Yan Kingdom will be easily broken by Yan Kingdom! When the time comes, our Jin Fengguo will be even more powerless to parry! Hurry up and think of a way for me to deal with these things! ”
The prime minister of Jin Fengguo also choked up, and said with a melancholy face:
"The emperor should not be anxious, these things have been given one after another recently, and these things have to be dealt with one by one before they can be dealt with. Since this Great Britain Kingdom does not accept our Golden Phoenix Kingdom's request for reconciliation, then the emperor should not feel entangled, after all, this Great Britain Kingdom is now in the sense that the battle situation of our Golden Phoenix Kingdom is already in control, so it is reasonable that the Great Britain Kingdom does not accept reconciliation, as for the Yan Kingdom, it is also proposed to give us the final time limit of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom, Let us return the 1,500 taels of gold that we have borrowed, the minister thinks that the emperor should continue to send envoys to Yan to negotiate the matter of Yan State, and the emperor of Yan State is also because the emperor once found the county lord to marry the princess into Yan Country and deceived the royal family of Yan State, therefore, the emperor of Yan State will be so angry and want to break with our Jin Feng Kingdom, the minister thinks that after the general sent to Lin'an County County arrests the princess back, we can send the princess to Yan Country again, Wouldn't it be nice to let the prince of Yan Kingdom marry the princess again! In this case, the Emperor of the Yan Kingdom will definitely change his opinion of our Jinfeng Kingdom, not only will he not continue to urge us to lend us the gold of the Jinfeng Kingdom, but he will also continue to send additional reinforcements to support our Jinfeng Kingdom, which is also uncertain! ”
