Chapter 725: Another Million Troops Dispatched

When the civil and military officials heard Mu Qianmei's three-step strategy, they all thought about it, and after a while, they all nodded and said-

"It is so good, that they should be treated in the same way as others, and let them themselves taste the taste of betrayal and separation."

"It's really right, our countrymen, no matter how ignorant they are, shouldn't deal with it themselves, killing each other like that, but letting the enemy benefit the fisherman."

"The key is that the law does not hold the public accountable, if only one or two people betray, we can still kill the chickens and make an example, and now millions of people have become their pawns all of a sudden, how can we suppress them by force?"

"Yes, most of them are only temporarily blinded by interests, and we need to awaken their patriotism and draw them into our camp."

"However, for those who are obsessed, we must not be soft, and we must still kill those who should be killed, otherwise they will kill more people!"

……

When everyone was almost finished, Mu Qianmei continued:

"It's Chinese New Year's Eve soon, presumably everyone wants to have a good peaceful year, as long as there are no major emergencies during this time, we will temporarily hold on to the army, wait for the Spring Festival, and then start our actions step by step."

"The first step is to send a large number of merchants into the Shikoku ruling area with a stronger posture to develop our industry and take the initiative in the economy."

"In fact, the second step can also be carried out at the same time as the first step, that is, to send more people to secretly infiltrate their ruling areas, change the minds of those who are slaves of the country as soon as possible, awaken their minds, return to the embrace of their own country, and if there is an opportunity, also rebel against them, and use it for us."

"If you want to change people's minds, the best way is to vigorously publicize our thoughts, in the past, the sky was outside the sky, all of them were newspapers run by the imperial court, and only officials could see the newspapers, this time, we will create a private newspaper, so that ordinary people can also see it, so that we can quickly tell the people what we want to express."

"In addition, some pamphlets were printed and distributed to the common people free of charge, so that they could understand both the importance of national self-improvement and the true intentions of the four countries to plunder in the name of support."

"It would be better if we could provoke the internal contradictions between the four countries, we must firmly believe that as long as there are people, there will be strife, and there will inevitably be all kinds of contradictions and conflicts between the four countries, what we must do is to constantly strengthen and intensify the contradictions between them, so that their struggles will become superficial, so that we will have a better chance to intervene."

"Of course, no matter what, the army is still our most powerful foundation and backing, and military training is also the top priority of our work, and we must not relax in the slightest, because once contradictions break out, war will inevitably occur, and only strong force can guarantee the final victory."

A military general immediately said excitedly:

"General Liu's training methods are really magical, our soldiers are making rapid progress, and their current actual combat ability and combat experience are almost catching up with those veterans who have participated in the war."

Another general also said:

"I heard that the training method of Cuiyun City is very good, and our army in Yulan City has also carried out the same training method, and now the overall combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, and at this rate increase, our army will likely become the most powerful army in the outer heavens."

Prime Minister Lu bowed his head slightly and said:

"General Liu really lived up to expectations, becoming the youngest and most promising general in our Xiyu Country, and now the overall strength is much stronger than the previous army, and the morale is high, I hope to expel the army of the four countries from our Xiyu Country as soon as possible!"

Mu Qianmei showed a relieved expression on her face, but she said soberly:

"The current strength is far from enough, and a country's army, what is needed is more than just a general, I hope to train more generals during this period, because we have to face not only the four-nation alliance, but also other forces in the country, when the enemy is on the back, it is necessary to fight on multiple sides."

"Therefore, after the New Year, we will open a military academy dedicated to training generals, so that those outstanding soldiers have the opportunity to receive professional learning, and when the war breaks out, we can be led by excellent generals who can lead the army independently at every level."

Speaking of this, Mu Qianmei said to Zhou Yunxi:

"This matter will be handed over to Dean Zhou, who has rich experience in running schools, to prepare, I don't know if it's okay?"

Zhou Yunxi immediately came out and said:

"Obey the order!"

A civil servant also stood up and said:

"Heavenly King, the current Tingxue Academy itself has a special course on the art of war, it is better to open a more systematic major in Tingxue Academy, and hope that the Heavenly King will decide."

Mu Qianmei thought for a moment before shaking her head and replied:

"Tingxue Academy focuses on theoretical research, and the art of war course is also relatively shallow, what we need to open is a professional military academy, the curriculum will be more detailed, and in addition to theory, it will pay more attention to practicality, in the future, our country will need more military talents, it is far from enough to separate a major from Tingxue Academy."

"When our sphere of influence becomes larger, the military academy itself will be comparable in size to Tingxue Academy, and branches will be opened in some key big cities, only then can we meet the needs of our army."

"Of course, the military major of Tingxue Academy can also be expanded, and the subject setting can also add some practical knowledge, which can be used as a supplement to the military academy."

Zhou Yunxi bowed down and asked:

"I wonder what kind of academy name we want to take for the military academy we want to found?"

After Mu Qianmei groaned for a while, she spoke:

"Let's call it Xiyu Military Academy, what does Dean Zhou think?"

After Zhou Yunxi read it silently twice, he nodded and replied:

"The name chosen by the King of Heaven is simple and magnificent, so let's decide! The minister hopes that the king of heaven can personally inscribe the name of the school, so that it will be more appealing, I wonder if it is convenient for the king? ”

Mu Qianmei immediately said with a smile:

"It's just a matter of raising your hands, the lonely king will write it immediately after the dispersal of the dynasty, and Dean Zhou will have to work hard for this again."

Zhou Yunxi immediately bowed down and replied:

"Dedication to the country is the duty of a minister, and he can't afford to work hard. It's just that the old minister has always been only good at poetry and literature, and he knows very little about military knowledge, and he hopes that the king of heaven can provide more suggestions for the old minister in his spare time, so that he can run this military school better! ”

Mu Qianmei thought about it, it is also the truth, there has never been a professional military school in the sky, and many colleges occasionally offer courses in the art of war, which are just regarded as a simple theoretical study, and suddenly want to open it as a professional cadet, there is no experience to learn from.

So, Mu Qianmei said slowly:

"The lonely king will take advantage of this time to come up with a specific founding plan, and hand it over to Dean Zhou after the Lantern Festival!"

"Before that, Dean Zhou can first find a good school site, and then carry out renovation and construction, for the selection of the school site, Gu Wang believes that you can choose a slightly more remote outside the city, the scale of the campus should be large, the configuration and implementation should be as complete as possible, how to build the specific needs, Dean Zhou can find General Liu to discuss together."

"Because the officers we want to train are not only people with profound theoretical knowledge, but also people with strong practical combat experience, and only those who understand actual combat can better understand the relevant knowledge."

Zhou Yunxi replied respectfully:

"Obey the order!"

After saying this, Lu Zimo came out again and said:

"Heavenly King, the negotiation team we sent to the feudal town should not be able to come back before the Chinese New Year, and we know from the news that they are not going well, do we need to give them more troops?"

Mu Qianmei said in a solemn tone:

"The Lone King can also receive news from the front every day, at the beginning, things were relatively smooth, those small feudal towns chose to belong with almost no conditions, and it was only in the middle and late stages that they began to encounter those who had conditions, and even directly resisted."

Lu Zimo said worriedly:

"The latest news received is that there are currently six medium-sized and large-scale feudal towns, which have formed an alliance, and they are determined to resist and surrender to us.

Mu Qianmei frowned slightly and asked:

"How many troops does the alliance of six feudal towns have?"

After a little calculation in his heart, Lu Zimo replied:

"They claim to have an army of three million, but our investigation has revealed that the number of people they can actually go to the battlefield is about 1.5 million, and the 600,000 army led by General Wang, plus the forces of the small feudal towns that have been subdued all the way, has become 1.8 million in front of them."

"If we only look at the comparison of troops, we have more people than them, but the armies of those feudal forces that have come from the annexed feudal towns are not strong in combat and loyal enough, and once the war starts, we can't count on those people."

Mu Qianmei thought about it for a while, and then immediately decided:

"Let General Liu immediately arrange a capable general, and then lead a million troops to support, and then draw 500,000 from Cuiyun City and Yulan City, and then quickly pass the message to General Wang, and immediately let the loyal generals transfer those feudal forces that have been attached to us to Yulan City and Cuiyun City."

"When the 1.2 million troops come back, they will be handed over to General Liu, who will break them up and arrange them into our army, and then carry out patient education and intensive training, so that they can integrate into our army as soon as possible."

Lu Zimo immediately bowed down and replied:

"Obey the order!"

After Mu Qianmei's eyes swept over the faces of the civil and military officials, she announced:

"Okay, let's go here for today's court meeting, although it is the Chinese New Year, but our preparations can not really be relaxed, on the contrary, we must be more vigilant, because the safest time is often the most dangerous time."
