Chapter 1473: Tang Mercenaries

In Wang Mu's mansion, the monk Miaoqing was smiling, holding fragrant tea in his hand, and Wang Mu on the opposite side was also smiling, and there was a beautiful maid behind the two of them gently tapping their backs.

After the monk Miaoqing left the palace, he did not immediately go to find Gongsun Sheng, in the Tang Dynasty, there is another person who is his good friend, before seeing Gongsun Sheng, he wants to see Wang Mu, ask Wang Mu's opinion, for this Tang Dynasty minister who likes beauty and money, Miaoqing monk is not likely, if it is not for a good father and a good daughter, where is his today. But on the surface, he is still very respectful. And unexpectedly, Wang Mu, who likes money, did not accept money, which made him a little curious.

"This time is different from the past, Your Majesty has already set the world, there are some things that still need to be paid attention to, money is something outside the body, and Your Majesty's reward is enough." Wang Mu explained with a smile: "What's more, after receiving the money, you have to do things, and when the master comes to the Central Plains, I'm afraid the things to be done are too big, so big that the old man can't do it, wouldn't it ruin the old man's reputation." "Although Monk Myoqing has a great reputation in Goryeo, in the eyes of Wang Mu, Monk Myoqing is nothing.

Although Wang Mu didn't know why Monk Miaoqing came here, he definitely knew that Monk Miaoqing would definitely come to him for an important matter, he thought it was no big deal before, but now he knew that his house was full of secret guards, so he naturally had to be cautious.

"Your Majesty asked the little monk to go to the Gongsun University to discuss the affairs of Goryeo, but from Your Majesty's meaning, the Tang Dynasty is not ready to support my Goryeo internal affairs, so he doesn't want to issue a holy decree, but at this time, let the little monk go to see the Gongsun Lord, this?" Monk Miaoqing suddenly smiled bitterly: "What is the secret here?" The little monk is stupid! That's why I came here to ask my lord. He really didn't figure out what Li Jing meant.

Wang Mu touched his beard when he heard this, and said: "This dynasty is divided into civil and military affairs, so there are political affairs hall and military aircraft department, for the army, the military department under the political affairs hall is in charge of grain, grass, equipment and other things, and the military aircraft department manages major affairs in the army, and all army transfers and promotions are managed by the military aircraft department, at this time, Your Majesty asked you to see Gongsun Sheng?" This? Hey! The old man remembered that in addition to being in charge of the army, there was also an organization that was also in charge of the Military Aircraft Department. Could it be? Wang Mu seemed to have thought of something, and his face was slightly stunned.

"What is it?" Monk Miaoqing couldn't help but ask.

"The dart bureau, all the personnel lists of the world's dart bureaus are in the hands of the Military Aircraft Department, even if it is the replacement of personnel, life and death, the weapons in charge, etc., they must be reported to the Military Aircraft Department." Wang Mu clapped his hands and said: "Your Majesty probably wants Gongsun Sheng to transfer those dart masters to help you, but although these people are recorded, they are not considered an army." ”

"It's just some young and strong, what kind of combat power is there?" Miaoqing was a little unconcerned, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction on her face.

"What do you know, the Tang Dynasty army is more than a million, every year His Majesty will guess some of the old people, if these people are in the previous dynasty, they are all elite soldiers, but in my Tang Dynasty, the age can not keep up, so they will be abolished, but after these people fall into the people, or in business, or as a government service, etc., but there are still a considerable number of dart bureaus, guarding the business brigade, they recruit young people, training, orders and prohibitions, the same as the army, but the weapons in their hands are poor, and now these people are as many as tens of thousands of people, If you can organize, you may not be a strong army. Wang Mu said disdainfully: "Your Majesty, this is called hiding soldiers in the people, once a war breaks out, these people can easily go into battle to resist the enemy's attack." Moreover, with a belt of ten, most of the young and strong people in the people are quasi-soldiers, and more importantly, these people not only do not have to spend the court to support them, but also make money for the court, isn't it a few in one fell swoop. Of course, if you want to requisition, it is impossible, and it is impossible for the imperial court to meddle in your Goryeo affairs, you can only hire them, and the Military Aircraft Department can issue a document to hire them for you, and you can just give money and food. ”

After Monk Miaoqing heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and it was really the first time he had heard of this method. I was even more envious in my heart, but unfortunately, it can only be owned in a populous place like the Central Plains, but it is impossible for Goryeo.

"Is this possible?" Monk Miaoqing still didn't believe it, he really wanted to get the support of the Tang Dynasty, and it was best to get tens of thousands of elites to enter Goryeo, even if Wang Kai didn't support himself, he had to support himself. Now the environment he is in is also very embarrassing, and faintly, he feels that Wang Kai actually does not trust him, and may even do it to himself, so he will take the risk of coming to Datang.

"Naturally, what is the Goryeo army like, the master should know better than the old man, after the attack of the Tang Dynasty and the Jin people, how much combat power is left, master, you should understand, do you think such an army is the opponent of these soldiers of my Datang? That's too much to look up to your Goryeo army. Wang Mu had a lot of sarcasm in his words, but the monk Miaoqing nodded, the Goryeo army that had experienced two great disasters no longer had any military morale, and now most of them were newly recruited soldiers and horses, and they were indeed not the opponents of the elite army.

"As long as you pay money and food, you can get these troops, and Gongsun Sheng will also help you give orders, although I didn't force these people to join you, but my Tang people are fierce, young and strong are happy when they hear about the war, and even those merchants know that they have a lot of money to take, and they will encourage their caravans to participate in this matter." Wang Mu continued to seduce: "As long as you have money." Also, if you don't have enough equipment, you can also ask the merchants to buy it, and I'm sure you'll soon get an army and enough equipment and food. ”

Wang Mu never worried that this guy in front of him had money, and he didn't know how many people he enjoyed in Goryeo, nor how much money he had to squander, and he believed that as long as he could make money, he would definitely be able to recruit a lot of soldiers and horses.

"Thank you for your advice, the little monk knows what to do." A smile suddenly appeared on Monk Miaoqing's face, he believed that what Wang Mu said was true, if so, he would definitely be able to get a lot of soldiers and horses to support him this time, as for paying money, is it still a problem? If he wins, he will get countless money, and if he fails, these money are not owned by him, it is better to stammer Datang, and maybe he can get a way out.

The next day, the monk Miaoqing went to meet Gongsun Sheng, a scholar of the Military Aircraft Department, and Gongsun Sheng really did what Wang Mu said, in front of him, issued a proposal to recruit warriors, although it was said that it was a voluntary principle, but looking at the bounty above, the monk Miaoqing absolutely believed that he could find a large army to serve him.
