Chapter Seventy-Nine: Crisis is Opportunity
"Lord Wang, you seem to have some doubts about the orders of the imperial court?" The little eunuch who came to deliver the decree was named Xiao Dezi, in his twenties, and was one of the few eunuchs who fled west with the royal family.
And Xiao Dezi seemed to see something from Wang Sirui's expression, so he asked a little pretendiously.
Of course, the face project must be done, after all, he is the royal family he represents.
Although the royal family is now in a state of despair, and the royal family also needs to rely on Wang Sirui, if it is in normal times, even if he gives Xiao Dezi 10,000 guts, he will not dare to talk to Wang Sirui like this.
You must know that among the dozens of sergeants accompanying him, there is a cronies of the big man who is hidden among them.
And Xiao Dezi saw that person's expression that he had to make this remark.
"Don't dare!" Wang Sirui hurriedly expressed his attitude, and then continued to say melancholy: "It's just that my father-in-law doesn't know the difficulties below." ”
"I don't know what difficulties Lord Wang has?" Xiao Dezi could only continue to ask.
"My father-in-law didn't know that the military quality of these brothers under the lowly subordinates was also uneven, and the longest soldier was only more than three months, and the shortest was only a few days. If we continue to expand the army, I am afraid that it will not be able to guarantee the combat effectiveness of the troops.
Secondly, the army has not been paid a penny of money for two months, and the camp is about to run out of food, and the lowly post is now worried about this matter, and if there is no way to solve even the most basic food, how can the lowly post dare to recruit new soldiers?
In addition, weapons and equipment are also problems, and it took us several months to snatch these equipment from the enemy, and the casualties are even more miserable. This has no food, no sound and no equipment, even if he has this heart, he doesn't have the strength! Wang Sirui said with embarrassment.
Now Wang Sirui is not short of military salaries at all, but there are problems with the source of these money, and Wang Sirui can't show it.
Although there is no shortage of food for the time being, the grain stock is only enough for their battalion to feed for a month, and if six battalions are recruited, even if they save money, they can only last for a week at most.
Now that the people have run away, there is not much food at home, where can Wang Sirui find food?
In addition, there are weapons, and it is no problem to arm one battalion, but as for six battalions, Wang Sirui can only hehe.
Moreover, with Wang Sirui's understanding of the imperial court and their urine, they must have hoped that they could compete with the coalition forces, but they did not want their power to expand too quickly.
Even, maybe they still want to let themselves fight to the death with foreigners, and finally end the war through peace talks.
If it weren't for the fledgling and still need to rely on this corrupt court, could Wang Sirui have rebelled a long time ago, and would he still need to listen to their bullshit here?
"Lord Wang, regarding your difficulties, our family will truthfully report to Lafayette, but before that, our family advises Lord Wang, it is better to recruit soldiers as soon as possible." Xiao Dezi persuaded.
Next.
The soldier who was sent by Xiao Dezi to deliver the message came back with a holy decree, and as for the content of the holy decree, it was even more nonsense, not at all like the style that the imperial court should have.
The holy decree authorized Wang Sirui to collect grain by order, but all the grain he saw could be levied by this holy decree, and anyone who dared to refuse would be regarded as collaborating with the enemy, and Wang Sirui had the right to directly behead him.
As for weapons and military salaries, there was nothing the court could do, and the holy decree did not put forward even a word about these two things.
It's just that the soldier who delivered the decree brought a sentence, if there is a difficulty, bear with it first, and the country is the most important.
Inside the little black house,
Because the imperial court suddenly inserted a bar, which completely disrupted Wang Sirui's deployment.
Originally, Wang Sirui did not plan to fight with the foreigners in the near future, after all, his troops were seriously undertrained, and he needed at least a month to train them before he could consider the expansion of the army.
But now the imperial court suddenly ordered him to expand the army, and it was the kind that could not be refused.
And now there are only more than 300 real veterans in Wang Sirui's hands, and the remaining more than 300 are new recruits.
Moreover, the imperial court gave neither guns nor money, so it gave such a bullshit decree and asked Wang Sirui to find food by himself.
What's even worse is that because of the arrival of these people, Wang Sirui has had to move the camp to another big mountain dozens of miles away from the Tibetan Soldier Cave.
As for the Tibetan Soldier Cave, Wang Sirui could only let Wang Shuqi guard there with two heavy machine guns.
"My lord, what shall we do?" Wu Zixuan's entire forehead was wrinkled into a line, although he really wanted to command thousands of troops, but Wu Zixuan also knew very well that now was not the best time to expand the army, and he also knew Wang Sirui's thoughts, and agreed with Wang Sirui's thoughts.
"This one has no food and no guns, how can we expand the army?" Wu Yang followed and said.
"It's not okay to have food, guns, and no money, let people fight, that's a matter of pinning your head to your trouser belt, who will do it with us if you don't have money?" Wang Sirui added next, and then made a gesture that the wall had ears.
Wu Yang hurriedly closed his mouth in fright, not daring to say a word.
"There are not enough veterans, even if this unit is trained, it is difficult to guarantee combat effectiveness, and a month is too short, even if it is good to be able to fight in three months, how can it capture the capital?" Ma Sanru said.
Under normal circumstances, a battalion will have more than 500 people, and the maximum will be about 1,000 people, which is mainly the personal ability of the caretaker, if there is money, it is natural to recruit more soldiers, if there is no money, the battalion of one or two hundred people is also very large.
Six battalions, if not one battalion is counted as more than 600 people, it is just about 4,000 people, which is also just the establishment of a cooperative.
It seems that the imperial court still has a very purposeful purpose for giving itself the official position of the co-capital, and in order to ensure that its own strength will not be improved, the imperial court has adopted a decentralized approach.
Because Wang Sirui had already shown their toughness, the imperial court could only give Wang Sirui some more establishment, so that he had to break up the troops, so that their combat effectiveness could be limited to the greatest extent, and at the same time, it also gave the coalition forces the possibility of destroying them.
Similarly, with more numbers, they can also cause a lot of trouble for the coalition forces.
Killing two birds with one stone, or even three eagles, this is the current idea of the imperial court.
It's a pity that they met the freak Wang Sirui.
Although the practice of the imperial court has caused Wang Sirui to encounter a certain crisis, but in the same way, this is not an opportunity, as long as he grasps it well, Wang Sirui can even ......
The picture was so beautiful that I couldn't imagine it.
"! Since the imperial court has issued an order, as a soldier, we should naturally obey the orders of the imperial court. If you really can't do it, you can only slightly disobey the order of the imperial court, let's train for two months, and finally use a month to attack. Wang Sirui slapped his big hand, and he didn't feel that his tone had been raised.
