==========

Three days later, Ji Fang set out with an army of 15 million, including 10 million standing troops, 5 million reserve troops, 5,000 artillery pieces, 5 million war horses, and countless shells.

After knowing that Jiuyou was going to start a full-scale war against Dameng, Xiluo and Beiyin immediately expressed their full support for Jiuyou, and opened a road for Jiuyou, and the army passed between the two countries without hindrance.

At the same time, Fan Wei, the prime minister of Northern Yin, led tens of millions of troops to support him, including 5 million standing troops.

Nangong Xin, the prince of Xiluo, was the commander, because of the defeat in the war with Jiuyou, although he suffered heavy losses, but the current national disaster was also generous, and he also raised tens of millions of troops across the country to express his support.

Nangong Mu is not afraid of the emptiness inside Xiluo, in such a small place as Xiluo, there is only the junction of Jiuyou and Beiyin around, and the Jiuyou Emperor is their Xiluo's umbrella, he is really not afraid that Jiuyou will do this kind of stupid thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

Bei Yin and Xi Luo are both facing the threat of Da Meng, with Jiuyou in charge, Bei Yin naturally will not think of taking the opportunity to attack Xi Luo, otherwise Jiuyou really will not let Bei Yin go.

To Liu Xuan's surprise, both Donghua and Nanshang said that they would not send troops to support, but Donghua also sent a large amount of materials, grain and grass, Donghua has a large land, vast land and sparsely populated population, and the grain and grass reserves are really good, and they do not hesitate to support the support for the attack on Dameng, claiming that they can support the supply of grain and grass for three years to support the armies of the three countries.

At this point, Liu Xuan was naturally happy to see that he naturally accepted all the grain and grass given for free, and he was unceremonious.

As for the Southern Commercial Kingdom, it also said that the distance was too far, and although it could not send troops to support, it could give military salaries, which was also for three years, which was not a small amount.

In fact, except for the standing army, which has a military salary, the reserve army has no military salary, unless it is a time of war, as long as the soldiers who go out will have a military salary, but very little, if they die on the battlefield, their families will receive subsidies, or be assigned to the fields and other rewards.

After Liu Xuan came to power, the expenditure on military salaries was unprecedented, surpassing that of the other four countries.

When a soldier goes out to fight, according to his rank, the soldier's salary is paid annually, and the salary of an ordinary soldier is estimated to be about 1,000 taels a year.

This also encouraged the soldiers to be bloody and morale-boosting for the war.

If according to Liu Xuan's standard, the Southern Shang Kingdom promised to provide three years of military salaries, an average of 1,000 taels per person a year, and the Northern Yin and Xiluo were counted, a total of 40 million soldiers, at least close to 200 billion silver.

Two hundred billion taels of silver is indeed a little less for Liu Xuan, and the money when he first laid down Da Luo was trillions.

The expenses of the army are very large, although Liu Xuan's appetite is very great, and he asked for a trillion taels of silver when he opened his mouth, but what he didn't expect was that Nanshang was also generous, and without much hesitation, he agreed.

The other four countries do not know how much the tax revenue of the other four countries is in a year, but it is estimated that the tax money of the other four countries in a year is much more than the sum of the taxes of the other four countries in a year.

In addition to the Donghua Kingdom, the Nine Hidden Kingdom and the former 'Old Daluo', there are other small countries around the border, and the farther ones are other foreign countries outside the South China Sea, among which it is rumored that the biggest reliance of the Southern Merchants Kingdom is another continent located outside the blank sea, and the relationship is extraordinary.

It can also be said that NCB was the first country to come into contact with other continents.

Nanshang Kingdom is full of gold, and Donghua Kingdom and Jiuyou Daluo naturally want to attack it, but helplessly, Nanshang Kingdom is not only rich, but also very willful, and very generous.

Once, the emperor led the army to attack Nanshang, but what he didn't expect was that Nanshang did not go out in person, and directly used money to buy off the armies of more than a dozen small countries around him, adding up to tens of millions of troops, and the two sides fought on the border for a year, but there was no inch.

The first emperor's national strength was not supported, so he had to negotiate peace, and Liu Xuan's second sister Liu Min was the marriage partner at that time

Liu Xuan has finally been idle since the Jiuyou army set out, and there is nothing else to do every day except for the last early dynasty, speaking of which, it is extremely easy for this emperor to be idle.

It's easy to fall, too.

Liu Xuan had just come out of Qingyue Palace, and on the way back, when he passed by a palace garden in the north, a team of more than 20 palace maids walked towards this side, but what made him strange was that these palace maids were dignified, young and beautiful, but they had a sense of depression.

"These are the handmaidens of the four princesses." Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhuangzi on the side said in a low voice.

The fourth princess, that is, Liu Xuan's fourth sister - Liu Meng.

Speaking of which, Liu Xuan seems to have never seen his fourth sister, and in his impression, Liu Meng seems to have never appeared, and he can't remember her appearance at all, but there is indeed a fourth sister who is real.

Listening to Xiao Zhuangzi's explanation, Liu Meng took the initiative to ask for orders to stay in the imperial mausoleum since the death of the first emperor, and he has not appeared until now, and even Liu Xuan has not appeared when he ascended the throne.

And there are more maids than anyone else.

It has almost reached the point where the supply exceeds demand, almost every other month, once every two months, a new group of maids will be selected to serve her in the imperial mausoleum, except for Liu Xuan who still does not know, Grandpa Zhuang is extremely clear.

According to Xiao Zhuangzi, more than 20 palace maids will be sent to Huangling to serve once every two months, and nearly 1,000 have been sent so far.

Thinking of this, Liu Xuan asked strangely, "Xiao Zhuangzi, send the palace maid to Huangling once every two months, isn't it enough to send it for so long?" ”

Xiao Zhuangzi was stunned, seemed to be embarrassed, and said, "Back to the emperor, the servants heard that the four princesses are extremely brutal, send so many palace maids, few can come out, it is rumored that the guards of Huangling said that they will go to Huangling almost every other month to inspect it, and sometimes, the bodies of these palace maids will be found in front of the tomb of Emperor Taizu, because it is the fourth princess, the guards did not dare to say anything, so they did not let the emperor know that the slaves should die." ”

"Corpses?" As soon as he heard this, Liu Xuan was stunned, it was the first time he had heard of this, the fourth princess was such a cruel person?

If this is the case, how many of these palace maids who have been sent over can come back alive?

Queen Li Yuelian used to be a little violent and often beat her subordinates, but after Liu Xuan's reprimand, she has also become pregnant in recent years, and her temper has been restrained a lot, but she didn't expect Liu Meng's cruelty to be even worse.

Liu Meng took the initiative to guard the mausoleum, and his filial piety was commendable, but he had been guarding the Huangling like this, and he was still unmarried, but he was also a little strange.

"You go investigate." Liu Xuan looked at the palace maids who were far away, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he commanded.

If Liu Meng was really such a cruel person, if it was spread out, he would have to deal with it according to law
