Chapter 164: 20,000 becomes 40,000, it's hard to refuse
"No, I'll take a look for myself."
Zhang Junlin hit the horse and continued to move forward.
Since the rice seedlings were headed, his realm has been raised again.
Now it is an eighth-order middle grade, and there is a trend of continuous climbing.
If there was any danger ahead, it would be much better for him to go there himself than to send it to the scout order.
"But Your Highness ......"
"Now it's not in the palace but on the march, your caution can be understood by the palace, you go to the front first and then explore, and the palace will slowly follow."
Zhang Junlin is not a person who doesn't know what to do, and he naturally has to accept everyone's care tactfully.
Otherwise, if you blindly become strong and do not rely on everyone's strength, you will not be able to do some things.
"Yes!"
The scout hurried forward.
Zhang Junlin continued to move forward at the speed just now.
The women, children, and children who were working in the rice fields were all shocked when they saw the army crossing the border.
"Is there another war?"
"Looking at the military uniform, it seems that we are soldiers of South Vietnam."
"Where did this soldier come from?"
When the soldiers at the front shouted loudly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ordered by His Majesty to recruit 20,000 soldiers and send them to Jiazhou", the people in the rice fields were even more surprised.
"This is a recruit recruited by Jinling?"
"Yes, old man."
Zhang Junlin stopped his horse and stood on the ground, bending down to look at the old man who was picking up the dung heap not far away.
It seemed that he didn't need a scout order to find out the news, he was able to ask for it himself.
"Old man, please ask, why are there no strong men working in this field? Where have they gone? ”
Although Zhenzhou has done a good job in releasing labor, and the farmers' sideline work has increased with breeding and transportation, it is still rare to see a few strong men in hundreds of acres of rice fields.
The old man looked at Zhang Junlin cautiously.
"This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
General Kim, the recruit general next to him, finished his introduction.
The old man hurriedly waved his hand at Zhang Junlin, and was pleasantly surprised: "I didn't expect the grass people to be able to see the true face of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Haha, this palace looks the same as ordinary people, with two eyes and one mouth."
Zhang Junlin teased and relieved the other party's tension.
The old man finally began to answer his question.
"Your Highness, except for the children of the grass people who are under the age of learning martial arts, the rest have gone to participate in the conscription."
Oh!
Zhang Junlin understood.
It seems that the situation in Zhenzhou and Jinling is similar, and the people are rushing to join the army.
"Everyone is worried that Your Highness, you won't be able to gather 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jinling, so our Zhenzhou plans to take the lead alone and gather enough 20,000 people."
The old man looked at the soldiers who were still hurrying forward, and asked in a bit of confusion.
"Your Highness, are these soldiers and horses the garrison of Jinling?"
"No, they, like you, are all people who want to solve problems for the palace."
Zhang Junlin's words attracted the sideways glances of many soldiers.
Each other's eyes are hot.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves the people like a son, so everyone will support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so much."
The truth of what the old man said was not the slightest element of boasting.
But Zhang Junlin still deserved it.
In fact, the Dog Emperor suddenly expected that the people and conscription were not in his plan, but even if the Dog Emperor didn't take the initiative to mention the conscription, he planned to let people go to the Dog Emperor's ears to blow the wind in his ears.
In order to change the throne at the lowest cost, a large number of people are indispensable.
"Old man, if there is any difficulty in the family, remember to find the local government office, for the whole family to join the army, there is support in the decree."
"Your Highness, don't worry, as soon as the conscription order is posted, the official office will tell us."
Well.
That's good.
Zhang Junlin did not give a special order to Zhenzhou, informing Jinling that 20,000 soldiers and horses had been recruited.
It's not that I think that I can increase the manpower from 20,000 to 40,000, it's simply that Zhenzhou is very close to Jiazhou.
He specially sent a message, in case the spy of the Dog Emperor learned about it, this soldier could not be used when recruited.
Zhang Junlin looked at the recruits who were still concentrating on training, and then at the people in the rice fields who were waiting for the recruits to return, and felt deeply powerless that he could not stop this war.
But the war was not provoked by him, and he was beaten if he was passive.
Only by taking the initiative can he reduce the damage.
"Why don't you send someone to tell Jiang Zhu that the soldiers and horses have been assembled now?"
20,000 pro-soldiers seem to be enough.
Just as Zhang Junlin was thinking this, the scout order returned again.
"Report!"
"This palace already knows about the conscription in Zhenzhou......"
"Your Highness, the last general is not reporting on the conscription in Zhenzhou, but...... His Majesty raised troops in Jiazhou two days ago, and is leading an army of 100,000 to Jinling to crusade against His Highness! ”
It's coming fast enough.
Zhang Junlin knew that Lao Ba had brought his words to Jiazhou, and he had long thought that the dog emperor, who had taken away his position as the crown prince of the country, would definitely not be able to wait to return to Jinling.
But so quickly and decisively brought 100,000 troops to Jinling, it seems that all the forces of coastal defense and border defense were transferred, and they also wanted him to die.
That being the case.
The 20,000 conscripts in Zhenzhou are still on the top, and they can win safely, and they can also fight quickly.
"This palace knows, continue to move forward, and arrive outside Zhenzhou before noon."
When Zhang Junlin was about to leave, Su Chanyi's shouts came from the carriage.
"Your Highness!"
"Envoy Su, is there something wrong?"
He stood still waiting for the carriage to come, and stooped to the window to inquire.
"Zhang Jun mainly wants to do something to you, but he doesn't take into account your strength, I'm worried that he still has something to rely on."
Su Chanyi's worries are not superfluous.
Don't look at the Dog Emperor, who is not proficient in state affairs, but he values his own life very much.
After all, if you don't die, you can't enjoy the privilege of being an emperor, singing every night.
"What does the envoy think he is relying on, an army of 100,000?"
It is rare for Su Chanyi to take the initiative to chat with him, and it just so happens that Zhang Junlin is idle except for hurrying, and if his thoughts collide, he may have new inspiration.
Su Chanyi shook her head decisively when she heard his words.
"His Royal Highness and Xiang Hong fought in Jinling, defeated the 100,000 elite soldiers of Western Chu with fewer victories, and although the strength of South Vietnam has improved under the special training of His Highness, the soldiers under the command of Li Jun are tired of running around, and I am afraid that the strength is not as good as before."
Miss Su is amazing!
Not only is the medical skill superb, but the analysis of current affairs is also reasonable.
Zhang Junlin looked at Su Chanyi, who was talking eloquently, with admiration on his face, and gave a thumbs up.
"If the envoy doesn't have to be Miss Su, I will definitely let you be my staff."
Hearing that he was not wary of his involvement in state affairs, but praised him sincerely, Su Chanyi's face burned imperceptibly.
Getting back to the point, she hurriedly reminded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"When Empress Mo was alive, there were also ninth-order martial artists in Nanyue Kingdom, although there was no trace of them later, but it is difficult to ensure that Monarch Zhang has contact with the other party, and he will invite him to help, and I hope His Royal Highness will be prepared."
Mentioning this matter, Su Chanyi moved again to let Bai Zhi go back to Baicao Valley to invite people.
Her father was the master of the ninth-order middle grade who lived in seclusion.
It's just that a person like my father who is low-key and doesn't care about the world should not go out of the valley to help.
You can send a few elders in the valley, and the addition of several eighth-order martial artists is also a deterrent for ninth-order martial artists.
"Ninth Order Martial Artist, I haven't seen it yet."
Zhang Junlin had long known that the Dog Emperor must have left hole cards, but he didn't expect it to be such a powerful hole card.
The Dog Emperor can.
When Jinling was about to die, he couldn't invite anyone, so he did everything he could to get him to die.
"It's the first time I've heard about this, it seems that the envoy of the Su Academy is not only a miracle doctor, but now he can also be a know-it-all, I don't know who Miss Su has heard of the name of that ninth-order martial artist, so I can send someone to inquire."
The queen mother has been dead for more than ten years.
Maybe that ninth-order martial artist would have died a long time ago.
"The whereabouts of the ninth-order martial artists are uncertain, unless there is an appointment in advance, even if His Highness pours out the strength of a country, he will not be able to find them."
Su Chanyi's words extinguished Zhang Junlin's idea of wanting to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle.
Then there is no way.
War is like that, unexpected situations can happen at any time.
Who would have thought that the Dog Emperor would be so reluctant.
"The ninth-order martial artist can't be guarded against, if the emperor really has such a helper, when the time comes, how far will you run with the white girl, Miss Su, and when it affects you, don't care about your reputation, and directly use the name of Baicao Valley to scare them, everything is prioritized to save your life, remember?"
