Chapter 12: The Crazy Expansion of the Army
"Give me a reason!" a conscription of this magnitude was a great challenge to the Empire. And it is also a great threat to the imperial power. And Kong Ming's plan also made all the ministers stunned, he really dared to do this.
"Your Majesty, first, it takes such a powerful force to triple the territory of the empire; without such a powerful force, it is impossible to carry out such a heavy task; second, although the East China Sea has incomparably attractive interests, it also has unimaginable dangers, which require strong force, and without strong force as a guarantee, we cannot achieve such huge benefits; third, in this section of the sea, there are about ten places where there are dangerous animals, and from various circumstances, it is preliminarily judged to be god-level powerhouses, so Your Majesty, our five thousand sages are used to slaughter gods。 Kong Ming said calmly.
This is an extremely terrible term, you must know that god-level powerhouses are all high-ranking beings for them, and behind every empire there will be more or less god-level powerhouses. Most of them may not have seen it once in their lives, but now the young man in front of him actually said that he wanted to slaughter the gods? At this time, all the people suddenly reacted again, this guy in front of them is a madman who has slaughtered gods! They saw Kong Ming's age, but they ignored Kong Ming's achievements.
After the emperor heard Kong Ming's crazy words, he couldn't help beating the drum in his heart, such an army can destroy the existence of the empire, and whoever it controls will make that person suddenly become the most popular person in the empire, and one of the most powerful people, this is a crazy decision, as an emperor, he can't make a decision for a while, it's really annoying! Several voices suddenly came from his ears, these were the words of the god-level ancestors who belonged to him and the god-level powerhouses behind the empire.
"Tang Feng, promise him that we people will choose to take action when necessary. ”
"That's right, it's a rare opportunity, let him do it, and take the qiē thing he needs from the imperial treasury, and give as much as he needs. ”
"Well, in terms of war, you should mainly support Kong Ming's plan, and don't restrict any of his actions. Expand the required number of troops to more than three times, that is to say, let 20,000 Sages be recruited, and 300,000 powerhouses above level 7. ”
"That's right, Tang Feng, the East China Sea is far bigger than you think. If Kong Ming's plan is feasible, then our empire can add at least three god-level powerhouses. ”
"We need the resources of the East China Sea for your eldest brother to use to break through the god level. There are still four more people waiting for these resources. ”
......
The voices of several people were discussing in the Emperor's ear. It wasn't until this time that the emperor knew that it wasn't just them listening to Kong Ming's plan, but even those strong people hidden in the depths of the palace were so interested in Kong Ming's plan.
Everyone looked at His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting on a temporarily moved cabinet as if in contemplation. They waited for one of his orders. Finally, the emperor listened to the words of these god-level powerhouses and looked straight at Kong Ming. In a kind of excitement that even he didn't feel himself, he said, "I agree to your plan, and there is no need for the other ministries to discuss it anymore, and the Holy One you can recruit as much as you want, and you can prepare a case for the military department." A seventh-level powerhouse, 300,000 are conscripted, and all the things you need are supplied by the treasury open, and the prime minister and the chief of internal affairs are responsible for this matter, and none of them are allowed to be withheld. In a word, it's up to you what army you want to build, and the empire is your strongest backing. ”
The emperor's domineering attitude stunned all the people present, and they didn't know why His Majesty the Emperor had suddenly become so generous, and they had to know that this emperor was famous for slamming the door? How did they know that now the emperor was dripping blood in his heart when he said these words! This is the savings he has saved for 30 years and the storage of the empire for a thousand years. But now he can't help but fill this big head, because the ancestors have spoken, what can he do, it is better to pretend to be generous to be more practical.
"Of course, what I hope more is that you can bring me more income. The emperor gritted his teeth and said.
"Your Majesty, your wise decisions will definitely be rewarded!" replied Kong Ming, ignoring his gritted teeth.
On the same day, Kong Ming's plan was publicized in the newspapers of the empire, and at the same time, there was also a conscription order issued in the name of the Imperial Military Affairs Department, which planned to recruit saints who wanted to serve the empire without an upper limit, 300,000 seventh-level powerhouses and three million sixth-level powerhouses, except for special talents, the rest were not wanted. In order to make better arrangements for these people and for the safety of the imperial capital, the meeting place was set up in the coastal city on the coast of the East China Sea, that is, in the fiefdom of Kongming.
The whole empire began to go crazy, not for the sake of which prince ascended to the throne, but for the ambitions of the empire and the conscription plan of the empire. Many people see a way forward, many adventurous mercenaries see the hope of getting ahead, and many sages also see the opportunity for a family to rise, in short, this action of the empire is a rare opportunity for both the empire itself and those mercenaries who are always struggling on the line of life and death. The people of the Huayuan Empire have never lacked the spirit of adventure, and it is also because of this spirit that the martial arts of the empire have endured. Many qualified people flocked to Marina City, and many unqualified mercenaries also flocked to Marina City, the former to join the army, and the latter to prepare to go with the army to find opportunities wherever they went, in short, for a better life, and the Empire's adventurous spirit was completely unleashed after this time. This is the nature of human beings, when a thing is recognized by some so-called authorities, most of the others will lose the ability to think independently, because they confirm that authority will not go wrong in his professional field, just like those god-level powerhouses trust Kongming because of their own interests, the emperor trusts Kongming because of the support of these god-level powerhouses, and other ministers trust Kongming because it is the order of the emperor, and those civilians trust Kongming, but trust the empire will not do something contrary to the interests of the empire, these can be said to be a kind of trust, can also be said to be a kind of blindness, when this kind of thing appears。 A lot of people will replace their own thinking with someone else's thinking because they are sure that authority must know much more than they know in the professional field. As a result, no more people have to think about the danger of the eastward expansion of the East China Sea, why no one has touched the East China Sea for so many years, what kind of ignorance and danger exist there, and so on. They think that this qiē empire will be solved, and the minister thinks that this qiē emperor will consider it, and the emperor and those god-level powerhouses think that this qiē, Kong Ming will think that this is the blindness of the crowd, not because others make themselves blind, but because they have found the best reason not to think. Kong Ming's current knowledge of the East China Sea is only on the map, and all he needs to do now is to divide all the unknowns. It is a general trend to make known as much as possible, and to give future armies a set of practical ways to deal with these dangers, only in this way can the expectations of the empire and all people be met. The general trend that came out of the empty Ming Chuangzào. History is always expanded by adventures like Kongming.
Earl's Court.
Five days have passed since the conscription, and the entire Eastern Naval District has already been built thanks to the active support from all quarters. And he has already arrived at Marina City from the teleportation array in advance. The second step in the real formation of the entire military district was carried out. Now it's time to tender for those ships. Kong Ming was also rarely idle, sitting in the small courtyard, thinking about all this.
"Husband, drink tea. Tang Zixian came over with a bowl of tea and put it next to Kong Ming. In the past few days, not only the people in the imperial capital are talking about conscription, but the Earl's Court is even more intensely discussed, among the guards and servants. Among these ladies. And at this time, the sixteen beauties knew that the bastard who rolled on them at night turned out to be so capable, which deepened their understanding of Kongming. At the same time, they also dug up everything that could be dug up in Kongming, and only then did they realize that their husband was so staked that even gods could slaughter him.
Kong Ming picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "It's so fragrant!"
"Of course, this is a treasured and precious tea, and no more than two people can drink it in the entire emperor. Tang Zixian smiled. She has now fully accepted her fate, and all the complaints have been buried in her heart in the self-consolation of the past few days.
"Have a heart, madam, but the tea I drink in the future doesn't need to be so high-end, as long as it tastes like tea, it's almost the same. Kong Ming smiled.
"How is that possible, you are a dignified count of the Empire!" Tang Zixian's words were already a little unhappy, you must know that no one had ever been able to make her tea like this, and her good mood was suddenly gone. Kong Ming also saw that there was some displeasure in her heart, but he didn't say anything, Kong Ming continued: "Let's go, come with me to do something, how about you are interested?"
"Then it depends on what is going on. ”
"Assurance is something you've never experienced before. ”
"Hmm, let's go!" Tang Zixian also wanted to know where Kong Ming wanted to take her.
"Before you go, you change your clothes. Kong Ming looked at her gorgeous clothes and said.
"Well, I just bought a new dress the other day, I'm going to try it out. ”
"Don't, you change to an inconspicuous one, the more ordinary and ordinary the better. Kong Ming said busily.
"Why?"
"We're not going to a gala, we're going to a very special place. ”
On the street, Kong Ming and Tang Zixian were walking in front, followed by Kong Yuan and a few others. Looking at the gradual progress from the rich area to some backward places, Tang Zixian had some wonders where Kong Ming was going to take her, and all of them were on foot, and they didn't even have a carriage. Just as they were wondering, they came to a street corner and stopped. This street can be said to extend in all directions, and the flow of people is very large, and Tang Zixian often passes by here.
"What's there to see here?" Looking at Kong Ming, who had been standing for a long time, Tang Zixian asked.
"This is where I was thrown when I was four years old, and from that moment on, I wanted to live here for almost two years. Kong Ming was silent for a while, and just when Tang Zixian thought that Kong Ming would not answer, Kong Ming said.
Tang Zixian was also silent, maybe many times she felt that many things were normal, parents gave birth to children, raised children, let them learn, let them practice, this is family. But not every child will get this, just like many children, either sick, or by the so-called master to say that they are their parents, or because of vendettas, no matter how you explain it, it is undeniable that many children are thrown on such a street by their parents, and as the grandson of a dignified count, Kong Ming is also thrown on such a street, and since then there is no food and clothing, mosquitoes often visit when it is hot, and it is possible to freeze to death at any time when it is cold. If such a situation is poignant, then when Kong Ming took the elimination of millions of enemies, and even included a god-level powerhouse, those people from the Yun family came over one after another to throw an olive branch to him, which really made Kong Ming feel ridiculous. What qualifications do you have to let Kong Ming go back if she is born but not raised? At this time, she saw some children begging in the vicinity after seeing these people in Kong Yuan. They all ran over and stretched out their little hands. And with hope in his eyes. And it seems that they are really familiar with the empty plain, and several people from the empty plain have also taken out some delicious things from the space ring and sent them one after another. Even these people who came with Kong Ming were not taboo, and they kept asking and talking about something with these children.
"These people?" Tang Zixian asked, looking at Kong Ming.
"Sorahara and they are both from here, and they have been together for many years, but because my financial resources are really limited, I can't support much. They can only be asked to come here every once in a while to distribute some food, medicine, and clothing. Kong Ming said lightly.
"You're just letting me see this?" Tang Zixian asked.
"Hehe, what you see is just a superficial phenomenon. Kong Ming shook his head, at this time, Kong Yuan and they left this place one after another and walked towards other places, leaving only Kong Ming and Tang Zixian together.
"Let's go. We walked back slowly. Kong Ming said.
"Not waiting for them?"
"No, they'll go back on their own. ”
The two slowly walked back the other way.
After Kong Ming sent Tang Zixian home, Kong Ming came to the Military Academy of the Comprehensive University, where he was looking for a few talents. I had already made an appointment with the dean here in advance, but at their level, many things need to be booked, otherwise both parties will have something to do, and it will be difficult to meet, and there will be a lot of embarrassment.
"General, the roster you have on your hand are a few instructors from this academy who know a little bit about the navy. Li Zelong, President of the Military Academy, said.
Kong Ming looked at the three people on the roster, and couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart, you must know that as an empire, no matter which aspect of the war needs to be studied, otherwise, once it comes to some kind of special battle, no one knows this aspect of knowledge, which will make the army pay a huge price.
Seeing Kong Ming's disappointed eyes, Li Zelong knew that for the highest military academy of an empire, such talents were too few. But there was only so much he could find.
"They're just outside, do you need to investigate?" Li Zelong said tentatively.
"Let them come in one by one, I'll ask. Kong Ming said, no matter what, since you are here, you must always have something to gain.
"Mu Feng came in. "Li Zelong.
As Li Zelong finished speaking, after a while, Kong Ming saw a gray-haired old man walk in, "Report, Mu Fengwu, a faculty member of the Department of Military History, has come to report." ”
"Instructor Mu, this is Admiral Kong Ming of the Eastern Naval Region, he has some questions, I want to ask you, and you answer them truthfully. ”
"What is the most important thing in naval battles?" asked Kong Ming as he spoke.
"Guns and guns. ”
"Anything else?"
"As long as these two are available, they can run rampant on the sea. ”
"Thank you. After speaking, Kong Ming shook his head at Li Zelong.
"Instructor Mu, excuse me, you can go back. ”
"Yes!"
The second.
"What do you think is the most important thing in naval warfare?"
"Mighty fleet. ”
"Thank you. ”
The third.
"What do you think is the most important thing in naval warfare?"
"Guns and guns. ”
"Thank you. ”
After the three of them left, Li Zelong looked at Kong Ming's disappointed face and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the three of them answering?"
"This is indeed an important factor in naval warfare, but it is not the most important factor. That's just a common-sense question. ”
"What's the most important thing?" Li Zelong said strangely.
"Actually, the dean already knew it in his heart, and if he didn't say it, he just didn't want to say it because he wanted to take care of my face, so I would say it bluntly. No matter what kind of war, the most important factor is always people, and talent is the most important factor in naval warfare. Talent is the most important factor in determining naval warfare. No one's most powerful cannons can play to their abilities. So they didn't get my point right, and that doesn't mean they're incorrect, it's just that they're not who I want, or they don't want to follow me. Okay, excuse me today, there is a chance to teach again. ”
After leaving the military academy, Kong Ming walked slowly on the streets of the imperial capital, this must be solved, because if the problem of talent is not solved, then even if there are more troops, they will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish. Everything will go down the drain. The thinking Kongming didn't notice anything else. At this moment, a long sword suddenly stabbed towards Kong Ming from one side. The ability of a level seventh-level assassin suddenly burst out in an instant.
For a saint, it is not always necessary to be on guard, and whether it is a saint-level powerhouse or a god-level powerhouse, they are not invulnerable, and they will also be killed by someone on purpose. Therefore, the higher the level, the more attention will be paid to protection, and from this, many cultivation methods and means to improve the body's defense have been born. But this is not invulnerable after all. To the point where all poisons are not soaked. For Kong Ming, he spent the past two years on the battlefield, although he commanded in the command center, but anti-assassination is a must-have ability for every commander, even if he was thinking about the problem just now, but his instinct is still there. I didn't relax a little because I was in the imperial capital.
The long sword stabbed towards Kong Ming, and Kong Ming also woke up with this murderous aura in an instant. Without thinking, Kong Ming habitually retreated to one side, but then another murderous aura came from the side. There were at least two assassins. At this moment, Kong Ming opened the magic shield, and then turned to the side with the power of a long sword behind him to stab the shield. Kong Ming and the two swords were staggered like this. After the two saw Kong Ming dodge, they didn't give up, and swung their swords at Kong Ming again, Kong Ming's magic shield was not able to support it, after all, it was a sixth-level magic shield, and it was really useless for this kind of seventh-level assassin, after Kong Ming staggered the two, he let the sword qi of the latter one be crushed. Although the magic shield is rotten, it has bought time for Kong Ming, and it can be said that there is no useless thing, but they lack a moment.
Kong Ming drew his long sword and slashed towards the person closest to Kong Ming, in order not to reveal the strength of his sword saint, Kong Ming tried his best to control the strength of the shot, just a little higher than the average seventh-level powerhouse, not too much, because the soldier saint is only a little stronger than the seventh-level strong, if this time Kong's strength is obviously revealed, then the next assassination of him will not be as simple as a seventh-level powerhouse, and the saint-level powerhouse will come.
With a "dang", the two swords intersected, and the other party let Kong Ming slash back with a sword, while the other assassin took advantage of this gap to stab out from the side to the hollow. In desperation, Kong Ming only took a step back, and then took advantage of the opponent's exhaustion to slash a sword at the front end of the opponent's sword, and the man immediately retreated as if he had been hit by lightning. As soon as he retreated, he exposed the people on the other side, how could Kong Ming miss such an opportunity. Kong Ming took a step forward and slashed his sword at the other assassin. Kong Ming unleashed the power of the Soldier and suppressed the assassin, the assassin did not feel panicked, obviously they knew Kong Ming very well, you must know that this is a compulsory course for every assassin, otherwise assassinating an enemy who is much stronger than himself is simply suicide, not assassination. The assassin activated a magic ornament, which produced a little dragon power, which directly offset the power of the sage of Kong Ming, which made Kong Ming even more annoyed, and the fighting spirit in his hand increased by three points, and with a "dang" sound, the assassin's long sword was cut off, and then the surprised assassin was split into two parts. Seeing this, the other Assassin knew that he could not do anything about it, and immediately rushed to the nearby house, trying to escape through it. Kong Ming moved instantly with a magic spell, and appeared behind the opponent, stabbing out with a sword, and the fighting spirit formed a line, stabbing at the assassin. The fleeing Assassin seemed to sense something, but he didn't have time to change direction as he ran in a straight line, only staggering a little to the other side as he touched the ground. A trail of blood erupted from his lower flank. Then he staggered and disappeared into the back of the house. (To be continued......)
