Listening to Fan Jin tell him what happened at the beginning, Ning Caichen said with trepidation: "If it weren't for Cao Huachun's secret report, the Zhejiang Army might really be in big trouble." ”

"Who's to say it isn't. Fan Jin looked at him with some grievances, and did not say the following sentence, 'Other masters are not as unreliable as you'.

Feeling their sword-like gaze, Ning Caichen smiled and said sincerely: "From now until the unification of the court, I will not go out again in the middle of the period, just guard the luck of the Zhejiang army in this bright domain." ”

The faces of the ministers looked a little better, and Jia Qi opened his mouth and said, "My lord, where did you learn about such a thing as firearms?"

Ning Caichen couldn't tell him that this knowledge came from another time and space, so he had to borrow the slope to get off the donkey: "That's right, I've heard of this kind of thing in the cultivation world. Now, tell me about the comparison of the strengths of our two sides. ”

"Not firearms. In the army, we deployed 190,000 troops in Nanjing, known as 300,000 sergeants. Among them, there are more than 70,000 people in the martial arts army, and nearly 300 congenital masters. In the Shandong army, the soldiers claimed to have 450,000, and according to our speculation, they were at most 250,000 soldiers and horses. Among them, there are about two hundred and five to two hundred and eighty innate masters, which is slightly less than our number.

On the edge of Huguang Province, we deployed 230,000 troops, known as 370,000 military horses. Among them, there are more than 80,000 martial arts troops, less than 90,000 people, and more than 300 congenital masters. In Henan, the imperial court military horses are claimed to be 400,000, and the actual military horses are estimated to be about 250,000. The Dangkou army should be less than 60,000, and even fewer innate masters, at best about 150 people. ”

After listening to the comparison of these two sets of numbers, Ning Caichen thought about it in his heart, and said in surprise: "This is a little wrong." The combined innate masters in Nanjing and Huguang have exceeded six hundred, where did we come from so many masters?"

Jia Qi opened his mouth and said: "Under the nest, how can there be no eggs? Now between us and the imperial court, it is almost equivalent to fighting a national war, and naturally we need to recruit all the forces that can be used. These nearly seven hundred innates, except for the original one or two hundred of the martial arts army, were all forcibly recruited from various families and sects. You have to come, and you have to come if you don't. ”

Ning Caichen paused for a moment and said, "Yuntian Wolf's idea?"

Jia Qi was stunned for a moment, and blurted out a sentence: "How can the lord know?"

"If you were to do it, it would have been more tactful, at least there would be no such thing as forced requisition. Ning Caichen spread his hands and said.

Jia Qian sighed and said, "We're all about to go crazy, how can we have time to plan this kind of thing." I had no choice but to let the chief manager deal with it himself. However, judging from the current situation, the effect is actually not bad. In the rivers and lakes, the strong are respected and subordinated to the hands of the strong, and even if those masters have some grievances, they are also lost by the sugar-coated cannonballs after the chief manager. ”

"Sugar-coated cannonballs?"

Jia Qian bowed his head and said: "Whether it is the spoils after the siege of the city and the fortress, or the spoils after the battle between the two armies and the victory, the chief manager has not taken a penny from this, and all the rewards have been given to the soldiers under his command." Among them, especially those innate masters get the most benefits. ”

Ning Caichen sighed in his heart: In the face of low-hanging fruit benefits, oh no, it is the benefits that should belong to him, but he did not take it at all, but gave it to his subordinates, which is easy to say, but not easy to do.

It's not just a matter of concentration or self-control, but more often it's actually mixed with a why. Why did I get nothing in the end? This kind of question is the most testing of people's hearts.

From the small to the small, from the small to the big. Through this incident, it is enough to prove that Yun Tianwolf is definitely a masterpiece of the moment. Even if you no longer train in the barracks, you will not be weaker than anyone else if you practice in the cultivation world.

"So...... The next thing to talk about is the issue of firearms. After a pause, Ning Caichen spoke: "How many firearms do we have?

"The imperial court sent firearms through arms dealers, but we went to those foreign countries to buy firearms. So I deduce that we don't have much less firearms than the other side now, even if they bought them first. At present, the Zhejiang army has more than 700 muskets and 298 red-coated cannons, and the latest batch of orders is on the way to Nanjing and Huguang. Fan Jin said.

Ning Caichen nodded and said, "If a big war breaks out now, what do you think are the chances of the Zhejiang army winning?"

"This ...... Not very easy to estimate. No one squeaked for a while, and Jia Yan said: "After all, the battlefield is changing in an instant, and we can't predict the future. ”

Ning Caichen stroked the invisibility ring on the ring finger of his left hand and said: "In this war, no matter whether the Zhejiang army loses or wins, victory will definitely be on our side in the end." ”

Everyone knew from his look that this was not an inspirational slogan, but a display of confidence. So the question is, where does his self-confidence come from?

They thought more about this question, but in the end they were shocked.

They never seem to have really understood this lord, they don't know what hole cards he still holds in his hand, and what kind of power he secretly has.

Although he was very curious about his methods, everyone in Wenjiang Pavilion was a human spirit, and he knew in his heart that if Ning Caichen wanted to say it, he would definitely tell them. If they don't want to say it, they ask, which will only make the other party unhappy.

Ning Caichen ignored their thoughts, stood up and said, "Is Yuntian Wolf in Huguang or Nanjing now?"

"The chief manager is in Yunyang City, Huguang Province. Fan Jin said.

Ning Caichen said: "Since he is in Huguang Province, then I will go to Nanjing." The territory of the Ming Domain, who is the lord of the ups and downs, is in the middle of this final battle. ”

Huguang Province, Yunyang City.

Liu Yunfei, who was wearing armor, hurriedly ran into the city lord's mansion, saw Yuntian Wolf on the training ground, and said with a complicated expression: "Boss, there is news from Zhejiang, the lord returned to Hangzhou a few days ago, and after holding a meeting of Wenjiang Pavilion, he went straight to Nanjing. ”

Yun Tian Wolf casually threw the huge stone lock in his hand on the ground and smashed a huge pit the size of a pot lid: "Even the lord has returned, it seems that the decisive battle is in the middle of these few days." Yunfei, let the officers and men in the army get ready, and the battle is about to begin. ”

Liu Yunfei nodded, but did not immediately turn away, which made Yun Tianluo slightly surprised, and asked suspiciously, "Is there anything else?" (To be continued.) )
