Chapter 938: Stumbling Block
"Not only does Lingdong Province need defenders, but all the twelve provinces need it. Lin Muyu slowly sat down beside Qin Yin, looked up at everyone, and said, "But the Congress has just been established, and the 300,000 troops allocated by the princes from all over the country are still in training, and we need time." ”
Xiang Yu said: "We not only have to establish a new army, but also to guard against the army of the princes, they still have 400,000 troops gathered outside Lanyan City, and Zhuang Yan and others are gradually beginning to control the Congress, even the Chief Qin Luo may not be able to restrain it, the Congress will become a big disaster sooner or later, Your Highness, don't you think you should stop it?"
Qin Yin said lightly: "I want to kill more people, so I don't plan to take unnecessary means." I have already handed over everything about military affairs to Ah Yu, and you can all obey Ah Yu's arrangement. ”
"Yes!"
Xiang Yu bowed his head, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Feng Jixing asked, "Ah Yu, what are your ideas?"
Lin Muyu shook his head: "There is no good way, the Great Qin Empire has been fighting for eleven years in a row, the national strength is almost exhausted, and money is needed to recruit and raise troops, and the princes' armies do not obey the dispatch, so we can only send our generals to the major provinces to appease the people and collect troops." ”
He said earnestly: "The empire can't give you more manpower, so it can only give you the empress an edict and my appointment order. ”
Tang Zhen said respectfully: "Lin Shuai, you can give the order directly, we are all waiting, always serving the empire!"
"Hmm. ”
Lin Muyu groaned and said: "The Demon Suppression Pass is located in the western realm, and the demon clan and the various clans in the wilderness land have disputes, so the commander of Tang Town, you must reorganize your 30,000 troops and return to the Demon Suppression Pass within three days, and you need to guard the town there." ”
"Yes, the subordinates obey the order!" Tang Zhen clenched his fists, and then smiled at Tang Xiaoxi, the Tang family's one is leaving Lanyan City again.
Lin Muyu continued: "Qin Yong was appointed as the commander of the newly formed Iron Blade Army, and he reorganized the 50,000 Iron Blade Army in three days, and returned to Yunzhong Province to guard Dusk Rain City. ”
"Obey!" Qin Yong clenched his fists.
Lin Muyu glanced at everyone and continued: "Aunt Yu, you can stay in Lanyan City by yourself and send the Qinlong military general to Tianshu Province to guard it." ”
"Hmm. Su Yu nodded.
"The Shenwei Battalion was rebuilt with an establishment of 20,000 people, and it was commanded by the Shenhou Yong Yifan, and went to Lingdong Province to guard it. Chen Xiaoli led 30,000 7,000 navies back to Qihaixing Province to defend, and Xu Jiantao and Xiang Yu each led 50,000 people back to Wugu City and Shangyang City to defend, so be it. ”
"Yes!"
The four commanders clasped their fists in unison.
Yong Yifan slowly put down the teacup in his hand and sighed.
"Shenhou, what's wrong?" Lin Muyu looked at the fire.
Yong Yifan sighed and said: "The Congress has basically been controlled by Zhuang Yan, Su Changying and others, they have made the imperial capital stormy, but Lin Shuai, you have sent most of the main army of the empire to the border, once the Congress is attacked, I am afraid that the two rebuilt new armies of the Gentian Battalion and the Forbidden Army will not be able to withstand the 400,000 troops of the princes' army at all!"
Xu Jiantao also hugged his fists and said: "Yes, please Lin Shuai think twice, we are willing to work with you to guard Lanyan City!"
Tang Zhen and Chen Xiaoli also hugged their fists together and said: "Yes, Lin Shuai, we are all gone, once there is a change, who will help you!"
Tang Xiaoxi said faintly: "The regular legions of the empire are in the same spirit, but the people in the Congress may not think so, Mu Mu, you really should think twice!"
Lin Muyu was slightly moved, and said: "I Lin Muyu understands the kindness of your commanders, but the major provinces of the empire need you, these provinces can only rest assured if they are under your control, and His Royal Highness Yin can rest assured, you are not far away from Lanyan City, but for Lanyan City, as for the Congress, I believe they can't make any reputation, it is enough to have me and the wind in command." ”
Tang Xiaoxi said: "Well, I will also stay in the imperial capital." ”
Tang Zhen frowned: "So...... Please ask the commander and the lord of Xijun to cherish themselves. ”
Xu Jiantao, Chen Xiaoli, Qin Yong and the others all stood up and clenched their fists: "Please cherish Your Highness Yin! Please cherish Lin Shuai! Once the emperor is in need, we will definitely come with thousands of troops and horses!"
Lin Muyu nodded happily: "Well, what I want is your words, go back to the fiefdom separately, don't come to see me if you don't bring me an iron army!"
"Yes!"
......
The meetings of the Imperial Army were far simpler than those of the Congress, and in the afternoon, the major legions went to the headquarters to collect the replenished soldiers, and they were busy with their own affairs.
Time passed little by little, and three days later, the Iron Blade Army, the Zhenguo Army, and the Shenwei Battalion left the imperial capital of Lanyan City one by one, and Tang Zhen, Yong Yifan, Xiang Yu and other important ministers of the empire also left one after another, and the entire imperial capital seemed to have only a huge parliament left.
Two days later, the constitution was drafted and adopted by Qin Yin himself.
On the third day, the Congressional Assembly.
Lin Muyu, Tang Xiaoxi, Feng Jixing, Wei Qiu, and Su Yu participated in the congress together, because everyone received some rumors about the establishment of the congress, but no one said it clearly, so they could only wait quietly.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
After many days of recuperation, Qin Yao's complexion improved a lot, and under an order, the noisy congress hall naturally became quiet, Qin Yao paused, and said, "Lord Zhuang Yan, you can now announce the proposal of the parliamentary army!"
"Yes, Chief!"
Zhuang Yan nodded respectfully, then walked to the center of the giant conference table with the scroll in his hand, and said to everyone: "As we all know, there is a Tianji Continent outside our eastern coast, which is divided into the Tianji Empire, the Tianjue Empire, and the Blackstone Empire. The Heavenly Absolute Empire was already on the move, so the Congress decided to gather the armies of the princes from all walks of life and form the Congress Army, and the legion establishment plan was set at more than 400,000 people. ”
"A legion of 400,000 men?"
Lin Muyu frowned, and said: "I have never heard that a legion can reach 400,000 people, the empire already has eleven regular legions, and the imperial capital is protected by the Gentian Legion and the forbidden army, I think, there is no need to establish this parliamentary army at all, the empire is tired, the people are struggling, where is there so much military food and material supply for such a large legion?"
Lin Shuai's words are bad. ”
Zhuang Yan smiled faintly: "The dignified Congress, as the highest order issuing place in Great Qin, how can there be no army to maintain the existence of the Congress? Besides, the National Assembly Army is in fact an army that maintains the fairness and enforcement of the Constitution, and it has great value for its existence, so to speak, only by establishing the National Assembly Army can the Constitution be implemented smoothly, and Lin Shuai is also a person who understands politics, so he should understand this truth, right?"
Lin Muyu looked at him coldly and said, "I am the supreme commander of the imperial military, and I said that it can be established before it can be established, otherwise, I will never approve the establishment of the parliamentary army." ”
"Your approval is not required. ”
Zhuang Yan said with a smile: "Article 3 of the Imperial Constitution has stipulated that the formulation of a new army only needs to be voted by the National Assembly, and the empress can sign the permission, besides, if the National Assembly Army is not established, the 400,000 princes outside Lanyan City will have nowhere to go, and if they become bandits, it will be disadvantageous to the people, what does Lin Shuai think?"
Feng Jixing said angrily: "Zhuang Yan, you are too aggressive, right?"
Zhuang Yan arched his hand and said: "Commander Feng, he is just exercising the power of the Congress in accordance with the law, if Commander Feng feels that there is something wrong, he can raise an objection to the Commander-in-Chief or His Royal Highness the Empress." ”
As he spoke, Zhuang Yan raised his head and said to everyone in the Congress: "Now start voting on the decision, whether the National Assembly Army can be established and implemented, please vote!"
"I'm against it. Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, and Wei Qiu almost raised their hands together.
Subsequently, Tang Xiaoxi and Su Yu also objected, and half of the top ten deacons had already objected.
But the other five people were all Zhuang Yan's people, and they all agreed.
Zhuang Yan then set his eyes on Qin Yu and said respectfully, "Chief Lord, your opinion is very important. ”
Qin Yao seemed to be a little tired, waved his hand and said, "Pass it, submit the decision to His Highness, as long as His Highness Yin allows it, this decision will be considered passed." ”
"Yes!"
In the hall, more than half of the parliamentarians who raised their hands passed, most of them were princes, how could they not agree to the establishment of the parliamentary army, this was only good for them, not bad, after all, the original princes' army was just a rabble, and there was no regular establishment at all, let alone obtaining equipment, weapons, grain and grass from the empire.
......
After the meeting ended, Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing and others walked side by side, their faces sullen.
"Xiao Yin will definitely not sign it. Tang Xiaoxi pouted and said.
"Not necessarily. "The wind follows the road.
"Why?" Tang Xiaoxi asked.
Su Yu said: "Because Xiao Yin is under too much pressure, and the major princes are aggressive, if they don't agree to the establishment of a parliamentary army, I'm afraid they will put more pressure on them and continue to deprive the empress of her original power." Ah Yu, what do you think?"
Lin Muyu was silent for a few seconds, and said: "If you really can't stop it, then don't stop it, if they want to set up a parliamentary army, let's do it." ”
Feng Jixing hurriedly said, "Ah Yu, you also gave up?"
"Nope. ”
Lin Muyu said: "I've thought about it, the 400,000 princes' army is a rabble, but after it is rebuilt into a parliamentary army, it will be uniformly trained, maybe it can really have combat effectiveness, once the Tianji Continent invades again, this parliamentary army will also become a force for us to resist strong enemies, isn't it?"
"So...... Do you want to convince His Highness Yin to sign and agree?"
"It's not a question of whether I convince or not, but Xiao Yin will sign. ”
Lin Muyu frowned and said: "From our point of view, the establishment of the Congressional Army will have a certain impact on our regular army, but for Xiao Yin, the establishment of the Congressional Army is not a bad thing, if Xiaoyin is a virtuous monarch, she will agree." ”
"Zhuang Yan, Su Changying and others have ghosts in their hearts, don't think too beautifully. ”
"I know, but there's no way around it. ”
Lin Muyu smiled helplessly, feeling that at this moment, he, the marshal of the empire, had become a stumbling block to the progress of civilization, but who could tell the world clearly!
