The lack of troops in the empire is a problem that everyone needs to face at the moment.

It is true that there are many soldiers in the Empire, but it must be explained that the fact that there are many soldiers in the Empire does not mean that those soldiers belong to the Empire!

As a feudal state, the emperor is at the top of the pyramid, but under him, there are still noble lords from all sides, and those noble lords hold extremely heavy military power in their hands.

Although those soldiers nominally belonged to the empire, they were all private soldiers of noble lords, and although it was not impossible to mobilize, it was also quite troublesome to mobilize.

Especially in the empire at this moment, the power of the emperor has long been gone, and even if an order is issued, it may not be possible for a few lords to listen to the order.

In this case, the imperial capital will be very embarrassed.

No one is willing to mobilize the lord's soldiers unless it is particularly necessary, which means that the most important thing for Li Yalin to do is to use the remaining soldiers under his command to defend against foreign enemies.

Only then can the power of the empire be stabilized, and at the same time, it will also sound the alarm bell for those noble lords who are cautious!

All the generals present knew this, and because of this, as soon as Li Yalin's words came out, the entire hall fell into silence.

The lack of troops is super embarrassing!

"I have an idea that I have been thinking about for a long time, and I will take it out and discuss it with you today."

"We all know that due to the dictatorship of the imperial criminal minister Earnest, many resistance organizations have emerged in the empire, among which the two largest organizations are Anning Dao and the rebel army."

"It's understandable that people can't survive and want to rebel against the Empire."

"Now is the time for the empire to employ people, we can't sit idly by and watch the invasion of foreign enemies, and we can't let the resistance organization trouble internally, so I suggest that we send the envoys of the empire to recruit the two organizations of the rebel army and the peace of the road!"

"No! I'm against it! ”

After laying so much groundwork, Li Yalin can be regarded as finally getting to the point, as he said, he hopes to recruit the rebels and An Ningdao.

On the surface, this will not only avoid domestic war, but also make full use of these two forces to repel the invaders, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, he must still have his own little abacus in his heart, but there is no need to say it all.

However, as soon as his words were proposed, they were immediately met with strong opposition from General Bude, which made people very unhappy.

"Why? General Bude: Can you tell us what you think? ”

Facing General Bude, who was the first to object, Li Yalin subconsciously frowned, although he had expected this for a long time, he was still a little unhappy.

Since you are against it, then you can say your opinion.

"An Ning Dao and the rebels are just a group of Xiaoxiao, as long as our imperial army comes out, they can suppress their resistance in an instant, but they are just a rabble, there is no need to recruit An!"

Why did General Bud oppose Li Yalin?

The reason is simple.

In his heart, whether it was An Ningdao or the rebels, they were just a group of anti-thieves, and they couldn't get on the stage at all, and he didn't take those two organizations seriously at all.

A thief is a thief, and you still need to recruit peace? Just kill the matter!

As a stubborn general, Bud has never been able to adapt his own ideas.

"That being said, but General Bude, what else do you have to do to solve our problem of insufficient troops? Don't tell me to recruit soldiers, the empire's finances are clumsy now, and it can't spare so much money and food to recruit soldiers. ”

"Not to mention, even if you can recruit soldiers, it will still take a lot of time to train soldiers, if you really do that, by the time our soldiers are trained, I'm afraid that the Western alien race will have already hit our doorstep!"

"In addition, you also told me to mobilize the soldiers of the lords of all parties, now that the empire is worried about internal and external troubles, most of the lords of all parties have wolf ambitions, once the order of requisition falls, the lords of all parties will definitely take the opportunity to develop their strength, and when the time comes, the lord is weak and the servants are strong, and the empire will inevitably suffer a greater crisis!"

"So...... General Bude, please share your thoughts. ”

Although Li Yalin did not meet General Bude many times, he knew this unsmiling man very well, with a straight temperament, a rigid brain, and outdated concepts, and he was right about what he said.

In this case, if you don't block all his roads, he won't compromise easily.

In that case, then I'll say everything you can think of, and then deny it, and see what else you can say!

"This ......"

Accompanied by Li Yalin's gushing words, General Bude was speechless for the first time.

Yes, he did look down on An Ningdao and the rebels, in his eyes, the empire lacked soldiers, so he could just recruit them again, and it didn't take too much time at all.

Even if you can't recruit soldiers, there are soldiers from all sides of the lords, and they can all be forcibly recruited.

But now it's good, everything he wants to say has been said by Li Yalin, and people have taken his way, and he has no way to go now, isn't it embarrassing?

How did what was supposed to be a simple thing become complicated all of a sudden?

So, sometimes, it's better to have more brains.

"You've done so much just to wash away the night raid, right?"

In the end of the discussion, General Bude failed to come up with a feasible solution, and when Li Yalin proposed Zhao'an again, he did not oppose it as strongly as before.

Since there is no objection, it is a tacit acquiescence, which means that Li Yalin's goal has been achieved.

But!

Although the goal was achieved, his careful thinking was directly seen by Estes.

No, after the discussion was over, Estes, who knew that there was no one around, directly exposed his intentions.

"Did you see that?"

As Estes said, the main reason why Li Yalin did this was indeed to whitewash the night attack.

Earnest is dead, and the imperial capital is facing a reshuffle, but Night Raid, as the hero behind the scenes, has become a street rat that everyone shouts at.

The empire needs a fig leaf, and it needs to cover the 'face' that has not much left, so as a night attack that once committed a major crime in the imperial capital, it is natural that he has become a victim.

There is no way to do it, and even Minister Joly, a former ally of the Night Raid, has chosen to acquiesce in the matter.

Sounds cruel, doesn't it?

But that's just the way it is!

But!

Li Yalin didn't want to see this scene appear!

He stood up to tell everyone that there is such a group of heroes in this world, and it is the efforts of all of them that have added an indelible contribution to the rebirth of this empire!

This merit cannot be erased by anyone!
