Chapter 82 Deliberations
The night passed quietly, although he didn't sleep all night, Ye Qing seemed to be full of energy, and then he was ready to leave the backyard and walk towards the council hall in the front hall of the lord's mansion.
Now that the recuperation can come to an end, his strength has been greatly improved, although it is not possible to increase his own strength if he continues, but the time it will take is not a year or two, Ye Qing himself can't wait, now is the time to send troops to dominate the chaotic hills, this is the only way for Ye Qing to launch an action against the barbarians without any worries, instead of sneaking up like now.
Today is an important day, and all the important tasks under Ye Qing have arrived.
The civil official group headed by Wen Lao and the military general group led by Li Xin were lined up on both sides, and in front of the two teams, a Taishi chair was quietly placed, waiting for his master's arrival.
Ye Qing is very lazy, many things in the territory are basically handled by the people below, he just makes a plan in the general direction, and it can be said that he is a very successful shopkeeper.
All Ye Qing generally did not convene a meeting of his subordinates, and even if he had any ideas, he basically informed Elder Wen directly how to convey them to the officials below through him.
I think that today's meeting will not happen a few times a year in Ye Qing's territory, and if it doesn't happen once, the next big change in the territory will come, and today will naturally be no exception.
After some nonsense, Ye Qing solved a few problems that needed him to set the direction at this meeting, but he never announced any shocking news, is there no big thing to discuss today, it should be impossible to put it, this lazy lord would not normally hold such a grand meeting without a major event, and the officials below all thought maliciously in their hearts.
As one of Ye Qing's humerus ministers, the head of the civil officials, in order to solve the doubts of the officials, he slowly walked out of the crowd, hugged his fists and said: "Look at the lord's face with joy, there must be something good happening, it is better to share one or two with you, I don't know if it is possible!"
Ye Qing glanced at Wen Sihai and said: "Old Man Wen is really clear, I am indeed very happy today, after two years of governance, now our Qingyun Territory is already a veritable overlord of the Chaotic Hills, whether it is military strength or political heritage, it has far exceeded the surrounding territories, and even now that the four major territories are united, we don't need to be afraid, these are the results of your efforts, I am very happy in my heart!"
Hearing Ye Qing's words, under the court, although the officials were overjoyed in their hearts, their faces showed panic, and they clasped their fists and bowed: "Your Excellency praises it, Qingyun Ling has such a grand occasion, it all depends on your lord's strategy, I don't dare to be greedy!"
Even Wen Lao looked terrified.
Hearing this, Ye Qing was helpless, so he had to say: "You don't have to be humble, it is your credit, I will not forget it, and the development of the territory in the future will depend on your ......."
Then Ye Qing sighed slightly: "But now the territories have not put joint pressure on the Qingyun Territory, but they are eyeing each other, although the coalition has not been formed, but the teams are on standby at any time, this is not a good sign, although I am not afraid of them, but I need to guard against them at all times, and it is also a burden for the territory, not to mention that if the war happens in the territory, then the hard work of your hard work for several years will be destroyed, or even wasted!"
The officials in the previous words were excited and happy in their hearts, but after hearing the words, they also understood that sooner or later there would be a battle between Qingyun Territory and other territories, and there was no war yet, it was that both sides were not prepared, and Ye Qing had taken a lot of measures to paralyze the enemy, if other territories knew that Qingyun Territory already had such a strong strength, then they might really have to form an alliance to besiege Qingyun Territory.
Although Qingyun Collar is not afraid, war represents destruction after all, and if the battlefield takes place in Qingyun Ling, then no matter how well prepared, losses are inevitable.
At this time, a military general suddenly came out and said: "My lord, the soldiers will come to block, the water will come to cover the earth, my Qingyun Leader now has an army of 600,000, and all of them are elite generals, even if other territories jointly attack, we can easily resist them outside the territory, although the coalition army may have many people, but our army is not vegetarian." !”
Ye Qing bowed slightly, full of good feelings for this general, for the generals who actively resisted, regardless of whether they had political acumen or not, they were all good generals, and they had to be cultivated.
"Okay, what Captain Zhou Wanfu said is very good, my Qingyun Leader must go all out to repel all invading enemies!"
Several hot-blooded youngsters also came out, kneeling on one knee and saying excitedly.
"Good, good, good!"
Hearing the bloody words of many generals, Ye Qing couldn't help but stand up from the Taishi's chair and said three good words in a row.
You must know that the military generals who can participate in the Ye Qing Conference now are also at the level of a commander, and it can be said that these generals have made a big statement, representing the voice of a large part of the soldiers.
"If civil officials are not greedy for money, and military generals are not afraid of death, the country will prosper"!
This sentence won Ye Qing's approval, civil officials are not greedy for money, then the rule of officials can be clear, will not be greedy for money, and delay the country's major affairs, the people will also trust the country, and the military general is not afraid of death, then it is the guarantee of the army's combat effectiveness, think about a military general who is greedy for life and afraid of death and a military general who takes the lead, which army's morale will be higher, this is undoubtedly the latter.
The reason why an army is strong lies not only in its uniform system, but also in its morale after rigorous training.
Morale is an extremely important part of an army, and only high morale can make an army invincible.
Just like at the end of many dynasties in the history of the earth, peasant uprisings can defeat the official army, this is not because the official army is weak, but the peasant army fights for survival and has high morale.
Now seeing that these generals can use their lives, Ye Qing is naturally overjoyed, although Ye Qing is not yet the king, and the Qingyun Collar has not founded a country, but it is undeniable that the current Qingyun Collar has a trace of the shadow of a small court.
And the civil official Ding Yuan does not have to worry, now is the period of development, the officials are not the slightest bit corrupt, the current civil official system is still very healthy, and in this world, although the literati are respected, they are also respected by strength. The civil officials under Ye Qing are not real literati, because they have no literary positions, and their martial arts strength is weak, and any centurion can overthrow them, but they don't have that foundation and strength if they want to.
Although there were many of these thoughts, they flashed in Ye Qing's heart, calming down his emotions a little, and then Ye Qing asked: "Is the current treasury of Elder Wen sufficient, if a large-scale war is launched now, can the materials stored in the lord's mansion be satisfied?"
Ye Qing was a little worried in his heart, because the money spent by the army for war and recuperation are two concepts, and in peacetime, only the food and grass needed for training are provided, and a small amount of military salary is sufficient, and if it is a battle, not only will the cost of food and grass be doubled, but also the meritorious generals will be rewarded according to their military merits, and the soldiers who died in battle will be given pensions, which often cost an astronomical amount, and these Ye Qing are now gradually understanding.
Although, plundering the grassland barbarians brought Ye Qing a lot of income, but Ye Qing invested more, and the construction of infrastructure in the territory cost Ye Qing a lot of money, and a little bit is still in the process of investing, as long as the income is earned, there is no son, but Ye Qing does not regret it at all.
As for the material situation owned by the lord's mansion, Wen Lao, who is the head of the civil official, is naturally very clear, so without the slightest hesitation, Wen Lao walked out of the queue and said to Ye Qing: "The lord's mansion now has 30 million in cash, enough food for a million army to eat for three years, and at the same time, weapons and armor can also be equipped with a million army, and the rest of the ordnance materials are also full of the treasury, so adults don't have to worry, it is enough to support a large-scale war!"
"Well, that's good!!"
Knowing the approximate reserve situation of the current Lord's Mansion, Ye Qing had confidence in his heart, and the next step was to continue to recruit soldiers and horses
Although there are already 600,000 troops now, it is far from enough for Ye Qing, these 600,000 troops, just to guard against the barbarians, need 200,000 troops.
Now that the power struggle of the barbarians is coming to an end, a new regional overlord is about to be produced, and the barbarians have gradually discovered the small movements of the Ye army in the past two years, and they have begun to take precautions, Ye Qing believes that the next time the barbarians attack again, the number of troops will definitely not be as simple as 100,000.
The remaining forty-five armies have more than 100,000 troops to defend the existing territory, although there are signs of singing and dancing in Qingyun Territory at present, but who can ensure that no one will come out to make trouble when Ye Qing's army attacks, so for the sake of conservatism, Ye Qing has to set aside more than 100,000 troops.
In this way, the army that can fight is less than 300,000, although Ye Qing is also confident that he can defeat the enemy, but capturing the enemy's city also needs to be defended by soldiers, otherwise Ye Qing has less than 300,000 troops to fight and garrison the city at the same time, and in the end, he is very willing to be beaten to death by the enemy with superior forces.
After all, although Ye Qing's army is elite, it is not a small strong that cannot be defeated, and too many enemies will kill people.
Therefore, what Ye Qing has to do now is to recruit a group of soldiers again, don't go to them who are brave and good at fighting with the regular army now, as long as they can deal with the hooligans on the ground and defend the city normally, and fight against the enemy, there will naturally be a regular army to solve it.
