Chapter 227: Conquering the Huns
"What His Highness said is that the minister is anxious." Li Xin hurriedly saluted.
Li Xin also admires Zhao Qingrui very much, although she is a woman, she has squeezed Fusu down, and she can completely gain a foothold in the court, which is not comparable to other princesses.
"Your Majesty, the garrison of Shangjun is 300,000, isn't it enough to conquer the Huns? And conscription? Zhou Yan was a little frightened, Daqin has more than a million soldiers, so many people, and they still have to recruit soldiers, it's terrible to think about it.
"Didn't Zhou Servant shoot that the Great Wall was going to be built, so many prisoners of war and prisoners were there, once too many troops were drawn and there was turmoil, it would be you, Lord Zhou, who would be responsible?" Li Xin sprayed towards Zhou Yan without hesitation.
He wants to fight, he wants to make meritorious contributions, he wants to wash away the humiliation of the original war, and no one can stop him!!
Ying Zheng looked at Li Xin and raised his eyebrows slightly, this guy is not out of the question, just give him another chance.
"At this time, I have made up my mind, the Xiongnu have been a disaster for Daqin for many years, and now many of Daqin's soldiers are also old, and they need new blood to replenish them." Ying Zheng stared down, his voice cold.
Who can know his pain, he is healthy now, Daqin also has some money, he has a strong force value, and he also knows the wider world outside.
Staying in Xianyang all the time is simply torture.
He will bring down all the land and rule the whole world.
"Your Majesty, in that case, how many soldiers does Your Majesty have to recruit?" Feng Qujian stood up and asked, Their Majesty's desire to expand outward has already been known.
Fortunately, now Daqin is making money relatively quickly, otherwise he really can't afford His Majesty's heart to go out to conquer.
"Another 200,000." This is what Yingzheng has considered, Shangjun and Lingnan need people, and Xianyang also needs a large army to guard it.
In fact, there are not many large armies that can be mobilized, and only a part can be drawn from Lingnan and Shangjun.
There are still so many powerful countries in the overseas world, and this group of newly recruited soldiers can only train first, and it is impossible to directly take them out to fight.
200,000, this number made many people can't help but gasp.
"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu are just a grassland tribe, and there is no need to recruit so many soldiers." This number made many people's scalps tingle, and they hurriedly stood up and persuaded them.
Although the position of the Great Qin Taiwei is vacant now, but among the brave generals in the court, who can't sit in that position?
But this time, Li Si and Feng Quji didn't speak, and they already knew about it, In order to convince the two of them, Ying Zheng even showed them his precious globe.
It was precisely because they knew the situation in the outside world that the two had no objection to this expedition against the Xiongnu, knowing that the outside world was still so vast, but Daqin was in a safe corner, they were naturally unwilling.
"Hmph, short-sighted, can you only see the Huns? There are still many tribes in the vicinity of the Xiongnu, and these tribes have always been eyeing our Great Qin. Ying Zheng looked at these people coldly.
"Father is angry, they have been in Xianyang, and it is normal to not know the situation outside." Zhao Qingrui said calmly.
Dad is afraid that he can't wait for a long time, it is impossible for this batch of recruits to go to the battlefield, but it is also a question of which part of the soldiers will be transferred.
"Well, Qingrui, you give them a good talk, so that these people who sit in the well and watch the sky can have a long insight." Under the persuasion of Zhao Qingrui, the angry Yingzheng suddenly dissipated.
He knew that his daughter was in favor of his conquest of the Huns.
From those history books, he can also see that if these tribes are not cleaned up, they will be a disaster in the future.
"Those who were excluded from the Great Wall, in addition to the Xiongnu, there were many tribal countries such as Yueshi, Qiang, Donghu, Fuyu, Wusun, Loulan, etc., in addition to these, there were also many powerful countries thousands of miles away, such as the Mauryan Dynasty, the Seleucid Kingdom and other countries."
"My father intends to expand the territory, expand the territory of my Great Qin, and create a foundation for future generations."
"You don't want to think about how to make Great Qin stronger, but you also have to block the footsteps of your father's expedition and drag Great Qin back, you are really the minister of Great Qin."
Zhao Qingrui's words made many people's eyes widen, is it so big outside? They only knew about the Xiongnu Yue clan, and the others didn't know much about it, and they didn't take it seriously.
Now that Zhao Qingrui said this, many people feel that the expedition is still necessary, and whoever knows that there is a group of people with ulterior motives lurking near their door, they can't be happy in their hearts.
Especially those generals, their faces are red with excitement, there is still so much outside, and there are still many battles to be fought, these are all merits.
It is very difficult for the soldiers of Great Qin to be crowned marquis, and the 20-level military merit system, now they have become the marquis, and now there are only Wang Jian and Wang Ben, father and son.
"Where did Your Highness learn about this? Could it be alarmist, these tribes are not in the climate except for the Xiongnu. Zhou Yan said in a deep voice.
The things that Zhao Qingrui said today really refreshed their cognition.
"These are the ones I asked people to find, do you still want to question them?" Ying Zheng received the eyes of his daughter, and clearly carried this on himself.
Ying Zheng's words, naturally no one dares to question them.
At this point, the matter of conscription was temporarily determined.
"Your Majesty, even if this is the case, matters such as the treatment of recruits still need to be carefully considered, although Daqin's treasury has some money, it can't be extravagant." Feng went and bowed quickly.
"This needs to be decided after everyone deliberates together, and the conscription will start after the spring planting is over." Ying Zheng said lightly.
"Father, the sons and daughters feel that this conscription should be hyped up, and the current Yulu in the army and so on should be known to more people, and those sons and daughters should be encouraged to sign up." Zhao Qingrui said immediately.
According to my father's idea of wanting to conquer the whole world, I am afraid that the conscription matter will not stop, and if he wants to conquer the whole world, it will not be fought in a year and a half, unless there are cross-era weapons.
Although she can exchange it, the things that cross the era are too expensive, and she will not use them for the people in the army at will.
If Daqin wants to develop, let's take it step by step, there is an example of my father, and I can't take too big a step in one step.
Soldiers' salaries have been raised a lot last year, but some of the original rules, such as the system of awarding fields for military merit, have also been abolished.
"Well, Qingrui's idea is very good." Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui gently, worthy of being his daughter, and if he wanted to go together, the court must encourage him to join the army.
"There is also the problem of veterans, we must also deal with it well, father, Daqin now needs manpower in many places, such as salt works, glass factories, and pavilion chiefs in various places, etc., all of which need manpower."
"Those veterans have paid so much for Daqin, and Erchen feels that they need to arrange their lives after retirement." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
Daqin's current departments are not perfect enough, especially in the economic aspect, and there are too few talents today.
