Chapter 249: The Western Expedition is Imperative

Just when Zhao Lin was groaning in his heart, the slender jade hand of the Persian queen had already reached into Zhao Lin's collar, and began to rub it gently, and the red cherry mouth exhaled like a land......

Between words and deeds, there is extreme temptation.

"Okay. ”

The corners of Zhao Lin's mouth rose slightly, and he picked up the Persian queen and strode towards the palace......

......

Following.

Great Song Dynasty.

Above the court.

Zhao Lin and his ministers carried out the early dynasty normally.

After dealing with daily affairs, Zhao Lin's eyes fell on His Royal Highness.

"The book of the military department, how is the recruitment of soldiers?"

Zhao Lin asked.

The military department Shangshu's heart moved, and he immediately arched his hand towards Zhao Lin, "Your Majesty, since the issuance of Your Majesty's conscription decree, young people all over the world have enthusiastically joined the army. ”

In this short period of time, the minister has already recruited another 200,000 recruits, plus the previous 300,000, for a total of 500,000 recruits. ”

"The 300,000 recruits recruited before are already stepping up their training and can go to the battlefield at any time to serve Your Majesty. ”

"At the next speed, I believe that in the next two or three months, His Majesty's recruitment goal will be completed. ”

Zhao Lin, who was sitting on the throne of the dragon chair, nodded when he heard this.

In such a short period of time, 500,000 recruits have been recruited, and the additional recruitment process is acceptable, even if it is slower.

The top priority at the moment is to train these 500,000 recruits well so that they can undertake the task of opening up territory for the Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible.

It's just that in the process of recruiting soldiers, the minister encountered some problems. ”

At this moment, the military department Shangshu frowned, and his face was embarrassed.

"What's the problem?"

Zhao Lin asked.

"Your Majesty, among the recruits recruited by the minister, there are not only the people of the Great Song Dynasty, but also some young people from other races such as Tubo and Mengyuan, and the minister is worried that they will not have a high loyalty to my Great Song Dynasty, so I want to ask Your Majesty to decide, whether to allow them to enlist in the army?"

The military department Shangshu said cautiously.

As soon as the words of the military department Shangshu came out, the entire court immediately began to discuss.

Many officials believe that people who are not of our race will have different hearts.

These countries had only recently perished, and their loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty was unknown.

How could such a sacred place as the army of the Great Song Dynasty be defiled by foreign races?

Naturally, they should be denied enlistment.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I only want to ask you one thing,"

Zhao Lin inspected the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and said loudly: "Are they the people of my Great Song Dynasty?"

"Yes, definitely. ”

The soldiers were awe-struck in their hearts and immediately nodded.

Tubo and Mengyuan no longer exist, and now these two places are the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

Although the imperial court is wary of them.

But these young people of different races are indeed the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

"If they are, then why can't they join the army?"

Zhao Lin's voice spread throughout the Jinluan Palace, "In my opinion, as long as they are the people of the Great Song Dynasty, they are willing to join the army, and they will be given the opportunity to join the army!"

"No matter which country or place he was from before, the court will treat everyone equally, if he has military exploits, he can still be reused by the court, and he will be a marquis!"

In Zhao Lin's opinion, whether it is the people of the Central Plains or the barbarian people, they are all his people!

If we really want to ensure that everything is foolproof and we select them according to the country, wouldn't we still have to pick out the recruits of Annam, Xijon, and Agni and remove them all from the ranks?

That would be ridiculous.

"Obey the order!"

The military department Shangshu was relieved.

With His Majesty's will, he no longer needs to have any scruples.

In fact, in his heart, he did not resist the recruits in Tubo, Mengyuan and other places at all, but had some expectations.

Because the young men of these bitter cold places are often tall, powerful, and good at horsemanship, they are the best candidates for cavalry.

The military department is clear about His Majesty's intentions for this large-scale conscription.

Your Majesty is planning to launch a western expedition!

Wipe out the Three Kingdoms of Tianzhu, Persia and the Great Eclipse!

The entire Western Regions in a broad sense will be included in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty!

And in the face of such a long distance, to launch a westward expedition against these countries, cavalry will undoubtedly be the absolute main force.

Recruits recruited from these "wild" lands have an advantage.

"I received a secret report yesterday that the Tianzhu Kingdom has fallen into civil strife, and now it is a good time for our Great Song Dynasty to launch a westward expedition and seize the land of the Western Regions. ”

After the military department retreated, Zhao Lin's gaze swept over the figures in the Jinluan Hall one by one, "I plan to start mobilizing soldiers and horses from today to prepare for the westward expedition!"

Zhao Lin's words fell, and the eyes of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all filled with a touch of shock.

Although they have known for a long time that His Majesty has this intention.

But when they heard the word Xizheng from His Majesty's mouth, they couldn't help but feel excited.

From ancient times to the present, no emperor has conquered such a distant place!

So far, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty can be said to have reached the peak of the Central Plains Dynasty.

But His Majesty is not satisfied!

His Majesty has long said that his goal is to turn all the places where the sun shines into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty!

From this, the westward expedition is imperative!

Above the huge court, there was no opposition to the Western Expedition.

Because the ministers know the temperament of His Majesty.

Even if they speak out, His Majesty will not change his mind.

And why are they against?

How strong is the Great Song Dynasty today?

The country is rich, and the soldiers are strong.

If you don't expand your territory now, when will you wait?

"Your Majesty, the three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, this time to launch the western expedition, the road is long, and the grain and grass should be the top priority. ”

A figure among the ministers came out and opened his mouth to admonish.

But it was the prime minister of the dynasty, Zhuge Liang.

"Prime Minister rest assured, a month ago, His Majesty ordered me to prepare in advance. ”

The military department Shangshu said: "A large amount of grain and grass has been transported to the warehouses of Luoqi City and Gaochang City respectively for the allocation of the army!"

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he was secretly taken aback in his heart.

A month ago, His Majesty had already begun to prepare for the Western Expedition?

"Xiang Yu. ”

It moved to an extremely tall and powerful figure.

"The last general!"

Xiang Yu walked out of the queue, his voice was very sonorous and powerful.

"If there is civil strife in Zhu today, I order you to go to Luoqi City immediately, lead 300,000 troops, and choose a day to enter Tianzhu!"

"The last general commands!"

After Xiang Yu saluted Zhao Lin, he turned around and strode out of the main hall.

"Dian Wei!"

Xiang Yu called out Dian Wei again.

"The last general!"

Dian Wei's tiger body was shocked, and his voice was like thunder, which startled Chao Chinese Wudu.

"I order you to lead 10,000 tiger guards to escort Concubine Ming back to Persia and take power!"

"The Last General's Order!"

Dian Wei also took the order and strode out of the hall.

"Yang Meng!"

"The minister is here!"

When Yang Meng heard His Majesty call his name, he couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in his heart, and immediately stepped forward quickly and bowed down to stand by.

"I order you to lead an army of 200,000, and the 300,000 new troops recruited by the military department, a total of 500,000 troops, and enter Gaochang City!"

"When the grain and grass are sufficient, we will march west!"

"I have transferred both the Divine Machine Battalion and the Flying Battalion to your command, and I must take the big food!"

Zhao Lin's eyes were extremely sharp, staring at Yang Meng.

"Wechen obeys!"

Yang Meng took a deep breath and replied in a deep voice.
