Chapter 445: Don't Kneel Down to Accept Orders
"Oh, I see, then I'll be able to recruit when I get back."
"Well, tomorrow you will go back, and you will say that you have seen Zhao Wushuang's army, and the salary is good."
"Okay."
"Mu Fu, you are in charge of recruiting troops in the counties near Jiuquan." qs
"Okay."
"We have to gather enough people in three days, I think the imperial court is about to come to the holy decree, I killed Kang Yuan and Kang Ruhua, as well as Wu Wei, Brahma Tiancheng and that Kang Guifei will definitely recruit me to Xichuan."
"Then General Zhao doesn't want us to follow you?"
"No, let Qin Feng and Shangguan Zhu follow me, it won't help if there are too many people, Mu Fujia will let you two be in charge of Jiuquan and Weicheng."
"Zhang Han, you are responsible for the transportation and distribution of grain and grass, as well as the treasury and silver treasury, you must protect this money, this money is the top priority of our attack on Western Xia."
"I know, if I lose it, my life will be gone, don't worry, I have these things."
"I will assign 10,000 men to you, who will be responsible for guarding and escorting, and no one will be allowed to touch these salaries and grain without my orders, do you hear?"
"I heard the General."
"Okay, now it's night, you should hurry up and rest, and act quickly tomorrow morning, and be sure to gather 200,000 within three days, of course, the more the better."
After a few people went out, Qin Xuan also arranged for Shangguan Zhu and Qin Feng's residence.
The next morning, Mu Fujia and Zhang Nan were busy.
They went to various counties to publicize Zhao Wushuang's army, because the prestige of killing Wu Wei and Wu Wei's family Zhao Wushuang spread here.
It is said that there is a general Zhao in Jiuquan City now, who is upright and upright, not afraid of power, and eliminates harm for the people.
killed Wu Wei, who exploited the people, and gave everyone silver.
This makes Zao Woushuang's reputation better and better.
Jiarang gathered 30,000 people in one day, and Mufang also gathered tens of thousands of people in Jiuquan and the north.
In three days, 100,000 people were directly summoned.
"Your Majesty, three days have passed, and we have gathered a total of more than 100,000 people, and now our total strength has reached 300,000."
"Really? So much?"
"They are all in the prime of life from 16 to 20 years old, these people have also suffered in the local area, and in some places they can't eat or drink, and there are many people who have been persecuted by Wu Wei, so everyone heard that you came to recruit the army, and all of them came to apply."
"They say the army can have enough to eat, and they want to do something."
Qin Xuan also understood that in ancient times, the imperial examination system was introduced, and it was only at the end of ancient times that the imperial examination system existed.
The election system is nothing more than all kinds of eunuchs and ministers, recommending all kinds of talents to the imperial court, and to put it bluntly, they are their own protégés.
If you are not a protégé of some big officials in ancient times, then it is difficult for you to get ahead, in addition to the protégé, the second is to be a soldier, if you make military achievements, the chance of promotion is great, so in ancient times, it was not very difficult to recruit soldiers.
Therefore, everyone is here in the Sino-Australian unparalleled conscription, and they can eat enough in the army, and they can also have a time to make meritorious contributions, so that they can not only solve the problem of food and clothing, but also have the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune.
So a lot of the poor are willing to take this path.
"Okay, great, but although the age of these hundreds of thousands of people is very good, the training must keep up."
"Yes, we'll start training them now."
The five of them were discussing in the council chamber when the herald from outside came.
"Report, General, the Holy Decree of the Imperial Court has arrived."
"What? Who's coming?"
"It's Gonggong Wu here."
"Hurry up and greet you."
The five of them stood up in an instant, then walked out of the conference hall, and came outside, just as Gonggong Wu and a few people arrived here.
"Zao Wushuang takes the order."
The others all looked at Qin Xuan, after all, Qin Xuan was the emperor, how could he kneel down to accept the order.
Seeing that Zhao Wushuang hadn't moved yet, Gonggong Wu reprimanded him severely.
"Zhao Wushuang, you still don't kneel down to accept the order."
"I've been having trouble with my legs and feet lately, and I really can't kneel, so you can just read anything you want."
"Presumptuous, how can anyone stand to receive the holy decree?"
At this time, Qin Feng next to him stepped forward and snatched the holy decree of Gonggong Wu.
"Grind and chirp, bring it, you."
The holy decree was snatched from Gonggong Wu's hands, and Qin Feng took it directly to Qin Xuan.
"Who are you who dare to rob me of my holy decree?"
The two inner guards beside Gonggong Wu were about to step forward to arrest Qin Feng, but the people around them came up directly and pointed their spears at them.
"Don't move, or I won't guarantee your safety."
Gonggong Wu saw that there were many of them, and they didn't dare to make a move.
Qin Xuan took the holy decree and read it again.
"What do you mean? Isn't it wrong for me to kill Wu Wei?"
"What's wrong, General Zhao?"
The people around asked, but Qin Xuan directly showed them the holy decree.
"What, let you go back to the court to make it clear at this time, and still dismiss your official?"
"Yes, in that case, then I'll go back and explain it to the emperor well."
At this time, Gonggong Wu stepped forward and said to Qin Xuan.
"General Zhao, you stabbed the big basket this time."
"You killed Concubine Kang's two relatives, she won't let you go."
"Hehe, Grandpa Wu, let me ask you a question."
"You say."
"How many troops do we have in the Western Xia Kingdom now?"
"About seven or eight hundred thousand."
"Really?"
"Of course, no more than 800,000."
"And how many people do you think I have here?"
"Isn't it 100,000 people, and there are not as many of you as those who are stationed around Xichuan."
"There are 200,000 people on the Xichuan side now."
Wu Gonggong felt that Zhao Wushuang's point was not enough evidence.
"Tell him how many of us are there now?"
Mu Fu stepped forward and looked at Gonggong Wu, now they are all from the Wei State, so he doesn't take Gonggong Wu and Gonggong Zhang in his eyes.
"I tell you, now we have 300,000 people."
Hearing this number, Gonggong Wu was instantly frightened, if Zhao Wushuang really had 300,000 people now, then the rest of Western Xia would add up to 500,000 or 600,000 at most.
No wonder he's so arrogant.
Gonggong Wu has also stayed by the emperor's side for a long time, so he naturally knows the powerful relationship here.
So his arrogance has eased a lot.
"That's the case, then General Zhao's recruitment speed is still very fast."
"yes, do you know why I'm recruiting so fast?"
Gonggong Wu shook his head and said.
"I don't know, is there any secret?"
"Hehe, there is no secret, it's because I killed Wu Wei, a greedy thing for money, he bullied the people, looted the people's fat and ointment, and looted the people's ointment, not counting, to rob all the troops who passed through him The grain, grass and military salaries, I killed him, it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, and it can be regarded as solving a big problem for the court, and now he actually let me return to the court, and I will punish my officials for my crimes."
"Yes, General Zhao, you dissipate your anger."
"Eliminate gas."
