Emperor Jiang Wuling sat on the dragon chair at the top, at this time in this huge imperial study, Jiang Wuheng, the king of Taiding, sat on the side seat next to Jiang Wuling, which is the embodiment of the identity of the king of Taiding, and his status is high enough to be equal to the emperor.

At this time, even Li Jing, the central military governor who was the emperor's uncle and was in charge of the 13 million army of the Han and Tang Dynasties, sat on the second seat far from Jiang Wuling, and sat opposite Li Jing was Gongsun Qi, one of the three princes of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

The six books of soldiers, criminals, workers, rituals, households, and officials also gathered in this imperial study at the same time, and sat on both sides. Not only these people, but sitting next to Ruan Van Shao, one of the six Shangshu of the Military Department, was a man who looked to be in his thirties, wearing a light leather armor, a forsythia sword straddling his waist, two mustaches, black and white hair tied into a bun, and a pair of eyes that shimmered on top of his emaciated face.

And outside of this imperial study, eight martial masters guarded the four doors and four sides of the imperial study, and three thousand tiger soldiers were armed with spears and sharp blades, holding torches to patrol back and forth in the square around the imperial study, even in this imperial study, there were forty-eight masters of the shadow guard tiger roaring camp hidden on those beams above the dome of the imperial study, which shows that there must be something big happening when so many powerful figures of the Han and Tang dynasties gathered here.

Jiang Wuling sat on the dragon chair, looking at the ministers below, there was a kind of divine thought in his eyes that could not be described in words, only to hear Jiang Wuling ask the ministers below in a deep voice: "How much military strength does my Han and Tang Dynasty have, how many strong men in armor?" After speaking, Jiang Wuling's twilight looked at Ruan Wenshao, the secretary of the military department with a calm and expressionless face in the distance.

As a secretary of the military department, he naturally knows a lot about the country's military and political affairs, and the so-called "soldiers!" "The Han and Tang Empires divided the civil and military affairs, and the fame of literature and Taoism was the only criterion and channel for selecting administrative officials.

I saw that Ruan Wenshao, the secretary of the military department, stepped forward and said: "My Han and Tang Dynasty have a total of 13,854,972 regular troops and 37,481,254 reserve soldiers. ”

Jiang Wuling asked, "Then where are all these troops deployed?"

"Back to Your Majesty, among the nearly 14 million troops, four million elites are stationed in the Eastern Capital, the center of the world, to guard the capital, and are ready to support the war in all directions, and three million are guarding the thirteen states of the Southern Regions with His Royal Highness King Taiding, and fighting the Hundred Sects Alliance and the Holy See head-on.

700,000 people were stationed in Dingtao County with General Zhang Han to guard the prisoners in the world, and the remaining 6 million were stationed in 12 Xiongguan in the Han and Tang dynasties. As the secretary of the military department, Ruan Van Thiao said that the deployment of these military forces is as smooth as a number of treasures.

"150,000 less. It was not Jiang Wuling who spoke, but Jiang Wuheng, the king of Taiding, who was sitting next to Jiang Wuling, and I saw Jiang Wuheng ask in a deep voice to Ruan Wenshao, the secretary of the military department: "My Han and Tang Dynasty have more than 13.85 million troops, why did you only say 13.7 million, less than 150,000 people?"

Ruan Van Shao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said: "The crime of 150,000 guilty soldiers is unforgivable, and it is not counted under the jurisdiction of our Han and Tang military forces. ”

"The crime of the 150,000 guilty army, the military aircraft department has not yet been decided, and Lord Shangshu's crime is unforgivable, and some of it is exaggerated. "This time it was indeed Xiangguo Gongsun Qi who spoke.

"Lord Xiangguo, the crime of escaping from the battle is not a crime, so what is a crime?" asked Xiangguo Gongsun Qi. Ruan Wenshao acted ruthlessly, but he was also extremely talented, and when it came to matters within the scope of his authority, he would not give face to anyone, even if he was talking to Xiangguo, one of the three princes of the dynasty.

"On this sin army, there are more than innocent deaths, there are more sins, but it can really be called a sin army, although the number of 150,000 sin army is not much, but the quality is excellent, in the whole army, I am afraid that only the tiger army guarding the palace and the 400,000 wolf horsemen under the command of His Royal Highness King Taiding can be left and right, the crime of the sin army, although the crime is unforgivable, but such a strong army failed to conquer the enemy position, but buried it in the wilderness is really a pity and sad. "It was Li Jing who spoke, Li Jing was in charge of the Military Aircraft Department, and he knew the crime of the criminal army deeply, but he remembered the ability of the criminal army even more.

At this time, Jiang Wuling, who was the emperor, smiled, waved his hand to the secretary of the military department, and asked him to go down, and then asked Xu Mu, the secretary of the criminal department: "How many capital prisoners are there in the world?"

Xu Mu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, walked up after Ruan Wenshao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stepped forward and said to Jiang Wuling: "In the whole world, there are more than 100,000 capital prisoners, and they are now all serving in Dingtao County. ”

"Hmm!" Jiang Wuling nodded, but finally said to the ministers: "I ask you a question, do you think that my Han and Tang Dynasty's army of nearly fourteen million is enough now?"

"Not enough!" said this sentence by Ruan Wenshao, the secretary of the military department who had just retired, and he said: " My Han and Tang Dynasties are the center of the world, there are countless enemy chiefs in all directions, the land of the hundred sects and the Holy See in the direction of the thirteen states in the southern region are eyeing each other, containing the three million most elite border soldiers of my Han and Tang Dynasties, although the northern barbarians are not as good as the land of the hundred sects, but relying on the primitive plains in the north, they can attack and retreat and defend, and the war has lasted for hundreds of years without winning or losing, and it has also restrained a large number of military forces in our Han and Tang Dynasties. As for the East, although the Hai Clan was suppressed by my Han and Tang Dynasties, but for hundreds of years it has never really yielded, and the Yingzhou Wa State has invested the rest of its strength, which also makes us have to defend, which has restrained a large number of military forces in my Han and Tang Dynasties, the eastern capital is the capital, although there are four million troops, but the necessary military strength to go out to guard the Beijing Division, the military strength that can be mobile is still less than three million, for the complex border troubles of my Han and Tang Dynasties, it is like a drop in the bucket, although the current military strength of my Han and Tang Dynasties is stronger than ever, but it is also tighter than ever. ”

"According to Lord Shangshu, how much more military strength do I need to expand in the Han and Tang Dynasties?" Jiang Wuling asked Ruan Wenshao.

Ruan Wenshao thought for a while and said: "According to Weichen's view, my Han and Tang Dynasty still need to expand at least seven million military strength in order to make my Han and Tang Dynasty always invincible militarily." ”

"No!" Jiang Wuling shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Seven million is too much, I can only add another 700,000, but this 700,000 is definitely not worse than seven million." ”

"Seven hundred thousand?" the ministers were a little puzzled.

At this time, in addition to Jiang Wuling, Jiang Wuheng and Li Jing, only Ruan Wenshao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Xu Mu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, reflected and understood the intention of the questions Jiang Wuling asked.

"The criminal army, the criminal army, such a criminal army, I am afraid that it really needs an iron-blooded general to suppress it!" Ruan Wenshao, the secretary of the military department, said to Jiang Wuling.

Jiang Wuling smiled mysteriously: "The choice of the commander of the army, the Military Aircraft Department and I have our own decision!"
