Chapter 368: Population for Mercenaries
After a little explanation of the situation of Yanhuang Kingdom, Master Yanhuang and his friends were stunned, he couldn't imagine what that terrible scene looked like, and what he said inadvertently accidentally hit the bull's-eye, that is, the people of Yanhuang Country were indeed piled up by people...... It is said that the houses where people live are all buildings with more than 10 floors, called "buildings".
50 million main battle troops?
That is indeed unprovoked, although there are 20,000 soldiers under the name of Sun Mishi, it is simply unrealistic to want to travel a long distance to conquer the Yanhuang Kingdom, let alone consider the question of whether it can be fought or not, the grain consumed by the long-distance march alone is enough to drag down the huge consumption of Zhongrong County, which has already been in the war for several years
Moreover, at present, Zhongrong City丨As a bridgehead to resist the Zhongyou Defeated Army, the 20,000 combat power not only needs to resist the 8,000-long Northern Bone Worship Plain丨 battle line, but also to guard the eight directions to prevent the princes under his command from rebelling, and also has to send a large number of troops to strangle the rebels of King Li, suppress the bandits and rogue gangs, and deter thousands of small countries......
There are also troops to do other things, not to mention sending troops to the Yanhuang Kingdom to forcibly ask for armaments and armor, with the terrible combat power of the Yanhuang Kingdom, it is enough for the county prince's mansion to breathe a sigh of relief if he does not take the initiative to rebel.
Of course, as a descendant of a family of princes who has been in Zhongrong County for thousands of years, it is impossible for Master Mi to ignore these things, but as a king, the attitude of dominating the world still has to be put forward, and as for other issues, the following courtiers and staff are naturally responsible.
Fei Ji also followed the kind "advice", or "intimidation", and said: "The personal strength of the soldiers of the Yanhuang Kingdom is generally not strong, about only up and down the products, but its battle formation is extremely strong, if the Yanhuang soldiers are only one person, I can kill five of them in a row without being injured, if the Yanhuang soldiers are two people together, my Zhongrong Guards can be able to draw with them, if the Yanhuang soldiers are connected with five people, you can kill me Zhongrong ten people without damage, if the Yanhuang soldiers are ten people, you can kill me Zhongrong fifty people undefeated, if there are hundreds of people......"
Master Mi frowned: "How?"
Concubine Jiyun said lightly: "A hundred Yanhuang soldiers can kill a thousand of my Zhongrong guards."
Master Sun Mi didn't believe it, and said angrily: "This Yanhuang Kingdom丨 soldiers are so strong?
If the other party is a war warrior, with its strange and unpredictable blood soul ability, it will also be said in the past.
"This is only a battle on the plains, if it is a battle to defend the city, a hundred Yanhuang soldiers can prevent 10,000 people from landing in the city."
He was stunned, because he found that Concubine Ji didn't seem to be joking, or that he was angry with others to destroy his prestige, and said in disbelief: "Why is that?"
"Look, King"
Concubine Ji stood up slenderly, took out a pile of hand-drawn paper from under the file, and walked to the front of the imperial case of Sun Mishi and spread it out: "This thing is a magnificent ordnance arranged in the city in the Yanhuang Kingdom, called the Tiangong 14 type ± pendulum steam semi-automatic rainstorm pear flower crossbow, which can fire dozens of bullets in an instant, and can pierce stones."
Master Sun Mi's eyes fell on the hideous artifact on the drawing, and his pupils suddenly shrank, with his knowledge, he could naturally judge that if this object was like what Concubine Ji described, it was definitely a weapon in battle.
"This thing is not a big threat to the warriors above the 丨 Ji Pin丨, if the soldiers are more careful, they will dodge the open, but as far as Ji can see with his own eyes, this thing is above the city of the 丨Yanhuang Kingdom丨, there is one between the two, and the hole in the city is opened, dozens from top to bottom, stretching boundless......"
Master Sun Mishi involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva, this object is too fierce, although he has a large number of heroes, but the large-scale war still has to rely on those low-grade soldiers to complete, once these murder weapons are used in the battle array, I am afraid that the battle situation can only be described by the word "harvest".
"This is just the Yanhuang Kingdom丨 placed in front of people, used to deter desolate thieves and rogues, as far as passers-by know, this thing is just a thing that was temporarily made in response to the rebels of King Li in the Yanhuang Kingdom a few years ago, no one knows what kind of terrible battle array equipment is hidden in their arsenal."
Fei Ji didn't go to open the objects under the pile of drawings, and said to herself: "Just this 'steam crossbow, when Ji left the territory of Yanhuang Kingdom, I heard rumors from passers-by that Yanhuang army has equipped it with a chariot that is as fast as a galloping horse and wrapped in dark iron, which can shoot while traveling, and it is extremely fast."
Glancing lightly at Master Mi Sun, who had a layer of fine beads of sweat on his broad and full forehead, Concubine Ji pursed her pink cherry lips slightly: "The most important thing is that this thing can be controlled by only three farmers who have not awakened the power of the bloodline......"
Master Mi Sun's eyes were as sharp as a wolf, and he stared at Concubine Ji deadly: "Why does Shao Ji know so clearly."
Concubine Ji was not afraid at all, and smiled gently: "Ji and the clan brother and sister, it was from the territory of the Iron Furnace Fort JT where the Yanhuang Kingdom was located, and when they passed through the Stone Mountain, the Yanhuang soldiers did not prohibit passers-by from approaching to see those ordnance. ”
Master Sun Mishi stared at the indifferent concubine for a long time, then licked Fa Yu's lips, lowered his head to look at the peerless murder weapon on the drawing, and did not speak for a while, but his eyes became more and more hot.
Concubine Ji didn't bother him, returned to her seat, leisurely tasted the lukewarm tea, and after a long time, Master Sun Mi raised his head and said: "According to what Shao Ji said, if this Yanhuang Kingdom wants to chase the four wildernesses, won't I be able to resist it?"
"Why should the king tell me some jokes?"
Concubine Ji smiled and said: "Even in Ji's mother clan, there were a few weapons to protect the clan back then, and the king is in this Zhongrong County, so why worry about the fierce soldiers of this small country?"
"You woman is an elf"
He raised his hand and nodded at the bewitching woman with a smile, and he didn't know whether to praise the concubine for her intelligence, or to blame her for having something to say, but it was the shy and well-behaved head that made the grandson Mishi stunned for a moment, if it weren't for the unknown origin of this woman, such a smart and beautiful figure would be worthy of being included in the palace as a concubine.
With the mind of Master Sun Mi, he naturally would not be fascinated by beauty, so he woke up in an instant, continued to stare at the pile of drawings for a while, and then looked up and said: "Shao Ji said that these are not untargeted, right?
"If the king wants to solve this immediate worry, Ji Zhi has three strategies: upper, middle and lower for the king to make decisions.
Concubine Shi Shiran said: "That Qingshan Hou Donglai Ye, it is nothing more than that he saw the benefits of befriending the Yanhuang Kingdom with the water, so he stopped the Yanhuang Kingdom and the national letter, and allowed the Yanhuang Kingdom to establish the country, and sold a benefit to the Yanhuang Kingdom, which was exchanged for all kinds of ordnance armor produced by the Yanhuang Kingdom. ”
"If the king is interested, he can send a team of envoys to the country of Yanhuang to exchange credentials, recognize the legitimacy of the state as the king of the county, and worship as a brotherly state."
Concubine Ji talked eloquently: "In this way, you can obtain the tilt of the Yanhuang Kingdom in terms of ordnance, and even buy this kind of battle weapon from its hands, this is the best policy."
"As Ji sees, although the land of Yanhuang is small, it does not have much ambition for the four wildernesses, and the king can canonize the useless land around him to the lord of Yanhuang in exchange for his support in armament, which is the middle policy. As for the next policy......"
Fei Ji paused slightly: "If the king is just to solve the immediate urgency, he can spend a lot of money to invite the Yanhuang Kingdom to be a mercenary and come to help."
Master Mi Sun thought about it for a while, the three strategies that Concubine Ji said have their advantages, and the best policy of "worshipping as a brotherly state" is obviously more long-lasting, not only can be used to calm the county with its military skills, but even can be expanded outward in the meantime, and there is no possibility of becoming the emperor.
But on the other hand, with the support of the county king, the Yanhuang Kingdom, I am afraid that the power will develop rapidly, and I am afraid that the tail will not be lost, and with the combat power of the Yanhuang Kingdom, it may pose a threat to his position as the county king.
The middle policy, the exchange of weapons and equipment in the status of the above countries, is obviously not as deep as the friendship of the "brotherly state", it is purely a business friendship, but it also helps it to grow.
As for the next policy, please ask 丨Yanhuang Guo丨 to help the mercenaries, but I don't have to worry about its clinging and taking advantage of the situation, and I can use the war to weaken its national strength, which is more satisfactory to Master Sun Mishi.
After thinking about it for a while, Master Sun Mi asked, "How can I ask for this mercenary?"
Hearing the choice of Master Mi of the Emperor, Concubine Ji sneered in her heart, after all, she chose this strategy.
With the ambition of Sun Mishi, how can he allow others to snore next to the couch, and now that he has learned the benefits of the Yanhuang Kingdom, I am afraid that as long as he has his hands free, he will attack the Yanhuang Kingdom and take his martial arts skills as his own.
But how does he know that Yan Huang Guo JF doesn't need to cling to him at all, Zhongrong County, and it will rise at an alarming speed, because people have nothing to ask for Zhongrong County.
Therefore, when the Yanhuang Kingdom was still weak, he used it as a help, first swept away the external troubles he faced with the power of thunder, and then concentrated on solving the internal worries, but planned to use the war to weaken the combat power of the Yanhuang Kingdom, but he completely forgot that the battlefield was the best training ground.
However, Concubine Ji didn't come to concentrate on being a staff member for him, but just planned to use him as a "chess piece" to muddy this pool of clear water and get on the "world of great contention" as soon as possible.
Therefore, this is the internal intelligence about the 丨Yanhuang Kingdom丨, and the concubine will naturally not tell Master Sun Mi in detail, but should tell him about the situation of the "Blade Mercenary Guild" of the 丨Yanhuang Kingdom丨.
“...... There is no shortage of money and grain, but because the country is founded by the craftsman family, there is a great shortage of all kinds of iron and stone minerals, and the king wants to hire soldiers from the "Blade Mercenary Guild", so he does not have to pay money and food to it, but only needs to allocate all kinds of raw materials to replace the soldiers' salaries. ”
Hearing this, Master Sun Mi frowned and said: "It is impossible to present all kinds of iron and stone ores now, and I am also in urgent need of Zhongrong, and there are so many for him."
Fei Ji was speechless for a while, you are short of iron and stone ore there, but you are reluctant to give up? I want you to pay for food and employment, I am afraid that it will be more painful, is it possible to plan to let the family help you fight in vain?
After thinking about it for a while, Concubine Ji squinted her eyes: "There is another way, that 丨Yanhuang Kingdom丨In order to open the mountain and mine, a lot of labor is required, if the king is willing, he can also move some subordinates to serve as military funds for him, firstly, to reduce the consumption of grain in the county, and secondly, it can also consume him丨Yanhuang Kingdom丨 grain storage, once the king wants to conquer him丨Yanhuang Kingdom丨, this large number of subordinates will become his burden......"
Master Sun Mishi's eyes lit up: "This method is very good, the common people in my county are only 280,000 people, and it is already difficult to support 20,000 guards, and most of the grain harvested every year is eaten by those useless subordinates.
The concubine lowered her head and frowned, and said coquettishly: "The king is wise." ”
But he secretly sneered in his heart, don't look at the people丨Yanhuang Country丨The place is not big, every inch of land has been used to the limit, how can it be like you, a large area of useless land in Zhongrong County, it is a stone, and it can become a piece of gold in the hands of the lord of Yanhuang Country, not to mention the population in urgent need
Just for the development of the Yanhuang Kingdom originally belonged to the Iron Furnace Fort, but only 100,000 pieces of land, 50,000 Yanhuang people are about to be used by the Lord of Yanhuang as cattle and horses, and it is not enough.
If you really allocate 1.5 million people to him, I am afraid that in less than a year, the scope of the power of the Yanhuang Kingdom will be extended to outside the gate of the palace of your county
After making up his mind, he quickly arranged for Sun Mishi to send an envoy team to the Yanhuang Kingdom, and even in order to deter the small country of Nayuer, he did not hesitate to use a fleet of 1,000 wind boats to transport a large number of subordinates
According to the words of a wind boat full of people, it is enough to stuff tens of thousands of people like stuffing goods, even if a wind boat carries 30,000 people, a thousand wind boats can transport 30 million people, with the speed of "10,000 miles a day" of the wind boat, but it can be done in ten years.
According to the price of the mercenary guild's "purchase of population", a strong subordinate is worth a lot of gold, and this trip can transport a population worth 30 million gold, so I think I should hire a lot of Yanhuang mercenaries, right?
Looking at the high-spirited appearance of Master Mi on the side, Concubine Ji sighed and took the initiative to ask Ying to act as an envoy to go to Yanhuang Kingdom, otherwise she would have to help others count the money if she was sold by the profiteers of Yanhuang Kingdom
How much is 30 million gold?
Do you think that the price of those mercenaries in Yanhuang is very cheap? The mode of fighting in other people's wars is completely different from that of the Great Wilderness, and if you can invite a thousand heavily armed Yanhuang mercenaries, this is not counting the price of other people's various ordnance and armament
He insisted on not wanting to pay for military expenses with iron and stone ores, so he had to take the subordinates to make up the number, and even did not hesitate to take a fleet of wind boats for transportation, and he really wanted to transport the 15 billion subordinates one by one, even if he was afraid for a moment, it would take twenty or thirty years to complete the migration
Fortunately, the water transportation in the Great Wilderness is unimpeded, and the U industry of Yanhuang is extremely developed, so the first batch of subordinates will be sent to it, and then the fleet over there will be mobilized for large-scale transportation, even if the water transportation is much slower than the "air transportation", and it will take about three months to go back and forth, and it is much faster than relying on the wind boat to transport it slowly.
The girl who has been following her is sent to the "Fei Yi" who is being trained and entrusted to him to take care of, and the concubine hurriedly set off on a wind boat, half a month later, with the "slave ship" that covers the sky and the sun, reappeared in the territory of the Yanhuang Kingdom, as an envoy of the above country, entered the White House, and met with the second concubine of Yanhuang.
She had heard a little about the retreat of the lord of Yanhuang when she was still serving in the Octagon, but she knew the details better than anyone else, and it was by no means as the second concubine said, but this time she was not to explore where the lord of Yanhuang was, since the second concubine could be the master, it would be the same to discuss it with them.
No one knows what these three brilliant women said during the three days of secret negotiations, in short, when the concubine hurriedly returned to Zhongrong City, the two sides drew up a so-called "win-win contract":
丨Yanhuang Kingdom丨Send a mercenary force to help in the war, and all the military resources, ordnance, and consumption will be taken care of by 丨Yanhuang Kingdom丨 itself, in exchange:
King Zhongrong allowed the Yanhuang Kingdom to migrate a large number of subordinate people.
The enemy troops captured on the battlefield were all handed over to the Yanhuang Kingdom.
When the Zhongrong King temporarily lent the Fengzhou fleet to the Yanhuang Kingdom when it was not in a combat state, it was used to transport various armaments and materials.
King Zhongrong allowed the Yanhuang Kingdom to sell Tiangong products in the territory of Zhongrong City, purchase all kinds of needs, and at the same time exempt from any taxes, but the Yanhuang Kingdom needed to promise to supply Tiangong ordnance to the guards under the name of King Zhongrong on a regular basis, and the Zhongrong King side would buy them at market prices......
...... It seems that Master Sun Mishi used a group of useless subordinates to exchange for a strong army, but in fact, it is really difficult to say who took advantage of the war business
Not to mention anything else, just borrowing a thousand wind boat fleets, how much profit will be brought to the "Tiangong Group", no one can imagine, a wind boat with a load of 100,000 tantalum, in the standard no-load state, can carry up to 75UU tons of materials, if it is purely for the purpose of transportation, not the pursuit of speed and flight altitude, can even load more than 100,000 tons of materials, at a speed of 0 kilometers, ultra-low altitude flight
