Chapter 488: The Little Emperor Establishes the Eastern Capital
Jiang Yiyuan thought for a while and said: "The lord doesn't need to worry, our strength is not as good as before, but there are also 90,000 people, the lord can issue a recruitment order, recruit soldiers, and after the beginning of next year, the minister will lead a large army to go out again, and he will definitely destroy King Yu, King Xiaojin, and the three counties in the south, and determine the southern Xinjiang for the lord."

"With the military advisor here, I feel much more at ease."
Pang Yi smiled and said: "Actually, Yiqu has been recruiting troops in the rear, counting the days, there should be no less than 30,000 recruits, if Liao Yun can take down the Jinhuai County of the Little Golden King, within two months, we will definitely be able to expand the army by 100,000." ”
"Oh yes, yesterday the 40,000 soldiers who captured King Yu in the city have been taken care of..."
Jiang Yiyuan waved his hand again and again: "Lord, those soldiers can't be used, even King Yu treats them as cannon fodder, you can imagine how weak that soldier is, I think it's not as good as recruits, let's recruit recruits." ”
The retainers discussed it and roughly decided on the course of the next trip.
After Liao Yun and Zhang Wu went back, that night, Zhang Wu and Liao Yun discussed, and even sent troops directly that night, the so-called soldiers were fast, and the two directly gathered all the cavalry together, Zhang Wu 5,000 wolf horses, Liao Yun 40,000 light and heavy horses, a total of 45,000, out of the east gate, straight to Jinhuai.
And Li Yan led the army, and then Liao Yun's remaining 30,000 people also belonged to him, plus his remaining soldiers, about 60,000.
The 100,000-strong army alternated back and forth, quickly rushing towards Jinhuai...

Eastern Xinjiang.
Eastern Capital.
After Zhou Xiong led his army to capture the second county, the emperor ordered people to build a palace in the second county, and set the capital here, which is located in the north of the eastern part of Xinjiang, but it is also close to the Yangtze River, and there is only one county away from the Yangtze River.
Tens of thousands of people worked together to build the palace, and the speed was very fast, and in just a few months, a brand new palace was built, and the little emperor named it the Eastern Capital!
Immediately, all the baggage, money, food, soldiers and horses entered the eastern capital one after another.
Now the little emperor is also shrewd, and the previous defeat was that there were not enough sergeants and the military strength was weaker than that of other princes, so he had to be forced to withdraw his army and come to Eastern Xinjiang.
If there were millions of troops at that time, then why be afraid of Ling Feng, why not be afraid of Yang Xiong.
Therefore, after the construction of the Eastern Capital, the little emperor issued a holy decree that the whole country should go all out to recruit troops, at least 500,000 soldiers!
Without this strength, he is really not at ease.
After Zhou Xiong captured the current eastern capital, he continued to the east, and then captured another county, and now there are only the last three counties left in the eastern Xinjiang, but Zhou Xiong only has 100,000 Janissaries under his account, and he has been fighting for a long time, so he inevitably lacks troops, and in desperation, he can only temporarily garrison troops and ask the emperor to increase his troops.
In the palace, Zhou Xiong's letter was delivered, and after the little emperor read it, he called the general Zhen Yang.
"General Zhen, Zhou Xiong's troops are lacking, continue to reinforce, let you go, you have 80,000 new recruits under your account, and there are 50,000 troops before, just go to help Zhou Xiong pacify the eastern frontier."
Zhen Yang frowned, and after thinking about it, he clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the last general... The last general asked for his life, and the remaining three counties were to be sent by the last general, General Zhou Xiong had already captured three counties, this... ”
The little emperor smiled and waved his hand: "I can let you go, and I can also let Zhou Xiong return, but can you pacify the eastern frontier?" ”
It's not that the little emperor doesn't reuse other generals, now he doesn't believe anyone except Zhou Xiong, even if it's Zang Batu, he doesn't think that Zang Batu is as powerful as Zhou Xiong.
Didn't Ling Feng often say that he would no longer be brave and scheming!
When Zhen Yang heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, if the last general can't pacify the eastern frontier, come and see you!" ”
"Okay, General Zhen Yang's ambition is commendable!"
The little emperor thought about it seriously and agreed: "Okay, I am approved, you will immediately lead the 130,000 troops of your headquarters to go on the expedition, and I will give Zhou Xiong a holy decree and let him be a teacher." ”
"The last will obey."
Saying that, Zhen Yang was overjoyed, bowed his hand, and withdrew from the Golden Palace.
The little emperor smiled softly, in fact, this is also something he has been thinking about for a long time, since the Lan Wang water army fled, there is no water army in the eastern Xinjiang, he has been thinking that Zhou Xiong must be allowed to train the water army, because Zang Batu said that Zhou Xiong's best skill is not land warfare, but water warfare, so the formation of a water army has been delayed until now, in order to give the position of the governor to Zhou Xiong.
Since Zhen Yang intends to go to quell the rebellion, then he will also push the boat along the river, just let Zhou Xiong be the teacher, let Zhou Xiong hand over the power of the Praetorian Guard, and then concentrate on training the navy.
In the eyes of the little emperor, the establishment of the navy is extremely important, even more important than the army, because the defense line of the eastern frontier is the Yangtze River, and since ancient times, the eastern frontier is famous for the naval army, and now the eastern frontier is the gateway of the imperial court, so it is natural that it cannot be taken lightly.
.........
The eighth day of the lunar month.
Kaiyuan County, Military Administration Office.
Ling Feng walked into the lobby with a smile, followed by Qin Liang.
When Zhang Shilin and Huang Linggong saw it, they also walked over with a smile: "Lord, what is the matter, you are so happy?" ”
Zhang Shilin said: "I guess it must be a happy event, right? ”
Ling Feng came to the seat and sat down, drank tea and said, "Yes, it is indeed a happy event. ”
"I just received a report from Ling An that Liao Yun and Zhang Wu had captured Jinhuai County three days ago, and before that, he had already made an agreement with Pang Yi that as long as he could capture Jinhuai, he could be a teacher."
The speed of the Shadow message is always faster than that of ordinary soldiers, so the Military Administration Department has not received this news yet.
Zhang Shilin said: "So, General Liao and General Zhang are about to become teachers?" ”
Ling Feng nodded and said, "Well, I will definitely be able to come back before the New Year, even if I can't catch up, the army will be able to enter the Kaiyuan Territory, and then Liao Yun, Zhang Wu, and Li Yan will be able to take the first step and come to participate in the military parade." ”
"Now the people can arrive, Huang Linggong, you can arrange the preparation of the parade, this parade, not only to show the powerful combat power of my Kaiyuan to the princes of the Quartet, but also to recruit talents through fighting generals, and replenish fresh blood for the Wuying Palace."
Huang Linggong smiled and said: "Lord, have you forgotten that this is a matter of the Ministry of Industry, and it should be handled by Wu Qiong's Ministry of Industry." ”
"Oh... I almost forgot. ”
Ling Feng said: "After the establishment of the Sixth Division, it is a lot more leisurely, okay, I will let Wu Qiong handle the military parade." ”
Zhang Shilin hesitated, picked up a fold from the desk, and said: "Lord, this letter was sent by Sun Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and I was about to send it to the lord's study, so the lord will read it." ”
"What's written?"
Ling Feng took the letter.
Zhang Shilin said: "Sun Jiandao, after careful and careful estimation by the Ministry of War, as well as the estimation of money and grain from the Ministry of Households, I have the ability to recruit nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses in Kaiyuan and Northern Xinjiang. (To be continued.) )
