Chapter 2585: Expanding the army by 70, the boiling military

For Da Qin, the second victory was not a brilliant victory.

After all, a total of 12 yuan of the Mongolian army was destroyed in this battle. Although Yuanmeng's arrogance was severely damaged and hit, making it unable to harass northern Xinjiang, it did not shake the foundation of Yuanmeng.

In the more than ten years of war history before and after the founding of the Qin Dynasty, there were many more brilliant achievements than this one.

The reason why this battle was taken out to celebrate alone was not because of the brilliant record of this battle, but because this battle was the first time that Da Qin took the initiative to attack the grasslands, which was of great significance to Da Qin.

As for the first battle of the fortress, it was a helpless act of being forced to counterattack in order to repel the invasion of Temujin. Naturally, it could not be compared with the second initiative.

For Da Qin, the second battle of the fortress was only a small victory, but for the four kingdoms of Wei, Song, Wu and Sui, it showed that they were about to enter the countdown to the subjugation of the country, and naturally it was impossible to have no reaction at all.

"My lord, according to the secret report from the Black Ice Platform, Su Qin, the prime minister of Shu, secretly dispatched Shouchun three days ago to visit the King of Song Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin avoided seeing him, but sent Zhao Pu, Prime Minister of Song Dynasty, to meet Su Qin. After the meeting, the two sides talked for a full hour.

And then Su Qin will also send ambassadors to Wu, Wei and Ming Three Kingdoms one by one. "Guo Jia sneered.

When Ying Hao heard this, he laughed: "Hehe, Zhao Da's situation is low, and he led others to Su Qin, but he came and avoided it. Is this self-deception to show me?

Without Liu Yu, do you think it's too late to restart the alliance to fight Qin now? "

Liu Yu naturally wanted to tie Li Cunxiao to his chariot for a long time, but the interests of the Eight Kingdoms and Xiao Qin were too entangled.

All of Yu Zhihui's eight countries have no marriage relationship with Xiao Qin, and with the cooperation of commerce and trade, colonization of Yingzhou, etc., the national strength has developed extremely rapidly.

As a result, even if the Eight Kingdoms knew that Xiao Qin intended to reunify, we dared to take the initiative to tear up the covenant after Xiao Qin turned his face.

But before Xiaosheng's seventh outpost, Xiaoqin was constrained again, and then he would only attack the Central Plains and Liangzhou.

Wu Guo is not bad. After all, it is located in the south of the Yangtze River. It is separated from Xiao Qin by the entire Central Plains. It will be Xiao Qin's goal in a short time.

But the two countries of Wei and Song are the same. Both of us are in the Central Plains. Naturally, we have to sit or live, so we take the initiative to release the state of Shu, and then there will be no more missions from the state of Sui to other countries.

"Where is Zhang Yi?"

"Wei Chen is here."

Zhang Yi stood up.

Ying Hao said: "Aiqing will send a mission to the Eight Kingdoms of Song, Wei and Wu. While comforting, I will beat him again. I can't see sand in my eyes."

"promise."

Zhang Yi replied with a smile. When I learned that Sui State was forming an anti-Qin alliance again, I had no intention of fighting against Sui State and destroying Shu's alliance against Qin.

"Your Majesty, Wang Meng has recently expelled a small number of Qin merchants in Wang Meng's country for murder, violating public security regulations, etc., in a word, and he should be delaying preparations for war." Guo Jia added.

Although the war between Qin and Sui is over, the business that should be done is still to be done.

Yu Zhi's occupation of the Hexi Corridor and the eastern part of the Western Regions is the only way to retreat to the Western Regions and Central Asia. If Qin merchants and Western Regions merchants want to do business, they must pass through Wang Meng's territory.

Wang Meng's army is large, and Liangzhou and Haizhou are extremely barren, so it is obviously difficult to support such a small army. Besides selling horses, the business tax collected by passing caravans is also a small financial income for Wang Meng.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Meng will stop him, but he welcomes Qin Shang to do business in the Western Regions. After all, it is not good for Wang Meng.

But now Yu Zhi took the initiative to expel Qin Shang. Obviously, he was stimulated by the news of Xiao Qin's seven outings and Xiaosheng. Knowing that Xiao Qin would be very likely to take action against Yu Zhi, he naturally dared to keep Qin Shang in the country. .

"Haha, Yang Guang is also safe, really remember to eat or fight."

Ying Hao laughed again, but didn't care about Yang Guang's big moves. After all, Wang Meng's middle size was so small, no matter how hard he struggled, it was destined to block Xiao Qin's father's iron fist.

Ying Hao read all the information about the various countries, and found that the surrounding countries except Wei Guozhi were too safe.

It was Cao Cao who wanted to resist, but he really had a lot of confidence.

Although Wei's strength is weaker than Wang Meng's, its geographical location is too poor. Being surrounded by Xiao Qin on all sides means that all walks of life are still infiltrated. Although many have been solved, there are hidden dangers.

Once Wei Guo starts a war with Xiao Qin, the performance of the war may still be as fierce as Wang Meng, so it is a last resort, and naturally he dares to bark at Xiao Qin.

"Your Majesty, the Ming and Sui countries are preparing their armies for war, and the Song and Wei countries are chasing Qin and Chu. If the Shu country succeeds in forming an anti-Qin alliance again, it is inevitable that you will be passive because of the strength of your little Qin Hou. ." Prime Minister Jia Fu withdrew.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was shocked, especially the military representatives. After all, the reduction of the army was promoted by Jia Fu.

Before the founding of Xiao Qin, all the generals were gearing up for a small fight, but Yu Zhi, the prime minister, pushed for a small reduction of the army.

Even if Jia Fu's move is not beneficial to Xiao Qin, it also damages the interests of the generals of the military, and naturally offends the people of the military.

Although Ying Hao nodded his head in the small army, but I can do things that offend people, so it is good for Ying Hao to take it, but not for Jia Fu and Bai Qi.

In the past two years, the military has been clamoring to expand the military. After all, Xiao Qin's finances are already narrow, but the civil servants headed by Jia Fu have always praised him.

Many people in the military have kindly speculated that Jia Fu, relying on the authority of the prime minister, has no intention of suppressing all military attachés and lowering the status of civilian officials, but they think that now Yu Zhi has taken the initiative to expand the army.

Those who spread rumors and attacked Jia Fu should not be ashamed. After all, the Prime Minister is really dedicated to serving the country, but we are not attacked because of our own selfishness.

As the head of the hundred officials, Yu Zhidu took the initiative to expand the army. Naturally, there are many people in the civil service group, and the military attache is even more useless. When the two small groups of civil and military are complicated, they all support the expansion of the army.

Ying Hao saw that he needed his own guidance. The two small groups of Xiao Qin, Wen Wu, and Wu reached an agreement. Yu smiled and said, "What Prime Minister Wang said is unreasonable. How much should the army be expanded?"

Su Qin stood up excitedly and whispered: "With the decline of your little Qin's national strength, it is natural to expand your army to one million."

Yu Zhihui stood up and retorted: "There is promise, the war of unification is destined to fight against the lesser countries at the same time, the Wei, Song, Ming, and Sui countries alone can reach a million troops before the extreme expansion of the army. How can it be enough?"

Su Qin suddenly realized, holding his chin and muttering to himself: "That's right, how about the 110 million?"

"Junwen, can he be smaller? At least 170 small troops."

Hearing Wei, Song and Wu's words, Yu Zhi was taken aback, took a breath and said, "Hiss, 170 million, that's a lot of troops, and a lot of military expenses."

The generals only know how to fight, and they don’t know how far Xiaoqin has developed. They only think that expanding the army to 170 million is the limit of Xiaoqin. After all, the cost of raising troops in Xiaoqin is much lower than that of other countries, so They all agree with Yu Zhihui's proposal to expand the army to 170 million.

When the civilians saw this, they all seemed to want to laugh, but they dared to laugh. After all, those generals clamored to expand the army every day.

"Your Majesty, what do you think about expanding the army to 170 million?"

Wei Song Wu said to Ying Hao in a negotiating tone with a flattering expression: "It's really possible to have more."

"Hahaha……"

Ying Hao was amused by Wei, Song and Wu, looked at Jia Fu above, and asked, "Prime Minister Wang, he said, how about expanding the army to 170?"

Jia Fu clasped his fists and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this Prime Minister believes that what Marquis Wu said is correct."

Hearing Jia Fu's remarks, Wei Song Wu suddenly slowed down and said quickly: "Little Prime Minister, what exactly does he want to do? You were the one who proposed the expansion of the army, and now he is the one who applauds him, but he can do this over and over again. .

In short, I will put the words there, the highest military expansion can be higher than 110 million. "

Yu Zhiyou ignored Wei, Song and Wu, and said to Ying Hao below: "Your Majesty, the truth is, with your Xiaoqin's current monarch, you can expand the army by 80."

As soon as these words came out, Ying Hao was still talking, but Wei Song Wu jumped up in excitement.

"Expand the army to 80? Did the general hear it wrong, or did Prime Minister Wang make a mistake?"

"Whether the general heard it wrong, the truth is 80."

"It's the first time that you, Wei Song, Wu Chang, have heard that the more the army expands, the more..."

Yu Zhihui became more and more excited, and even Yu Zhila pulled back.

"Your little Qin's total military strength is only 47, which is already stretched enough, but he wants to reduce the army to 80? Is it an increase in troops but a reduction of 77?
Still unreasonable?Is there no kingship yet?
Your Majesty, you can listen to Jia Fu. Your military is living a hard life. It is small to expand the army, but it must be possible to reduce the army. "

Seeing that Yu Zhila lives in Wei, Song and Wu, Jiang Song pulled it together, and persuaded him: "Ahem, Lao Li, he got it wrong. What the prime minister said was to expand the army to 80, but to expand the army to 80." Ten thousand."

"Expand the army by 80?"

Wei Song Wu was startled, pretended to shake his head decisively and said, "It's possible, absolutely possible, you little Qin don't have so much money to support so few troops."

"How is it possible?"

Xun Yu opened his mouth and said, as the Minister of the Household, I am in charge of taxation, salaries and all financial matters in the whole country, and I have the least say in financial matters.

"You and other warriors only know how to train and fight, but how do you know how earth-shaking changes have taken place in the eight years of your little Qin..."

After Xun Yu had finished speaking, Yu Zhihui looked directly at him.

After Wei Song Wu rushed down, he grabbed Jia Fu's hand and said coldly, "Prime Minister, you are really talking about expanding the army to 80, but to 80?"

Looking at Wei, Song and Wu who were close at hand, the corners of Yu Zhi's mouth twitched, and he wanted to pull his hand out, but he couldn't. He could only nod helplessly and said, "It's an expansion of the army by 80."

As soon as these remarks came out, the military generals who were used to the hard days of searching and searching collectively exploded.

Before the disarmament of Xiaoqin, the total force was 47, and he fought a few battles such as conquering the Japanese, destroying the Tang Dynasty, attacking the Sui Dynasty, and going out of the fortress. up.

Now Xiao Qin's military strength is still at 47, and if the army is expanded to 80 at one time, the total military strength of Xiao Qin before the expansion will reach a terrifying 170 million, which is comparable to the total strength of Shu Chu Wu Wei Song Ming Sui.

Wei Song Wu was completely stunned, and said to himself with a look of happiness: "Is your little Qin already suffering so much?"

"It's less thanks to His Majesty's self-cultivation policy, and all the military expenditures from disarmament have been invested in infrastructure construction such as people's livelihood, which has led to a small increase in tax revenue across the country.

In addition, the sea trade with the Nanyang countries, the gold and silver mines in Yingzhou, and the trade with the eight countries Li Cunxiao also brought a very small financial income to your little Qin. "

Jia Fu explained patiently, but Wei Song Wu retreated without even listening to a word, still happily immersed in the good news that the army was about to expand by [-].

Seeing Wei, Song and Wu's gestures, but still not letting go, Jia Fu smiled wryly and said, "General Li, can he let go? Although the prime minister proposes to expand the army by 80, does His Majesty agree?"

Only then did Wei Song Wu Na react, and quickly asked: "Your Majesty, do you refuse to expand the army to 80?"

"Of course I refuse."

Wei Song Wu felt as if a basin of hot water had been poured on him, and instantly froze, but he was even more excited when he heard Ying Hao's previous words.

"80 is enough, and it's too big, if you want to expand the army, you can expand it by [-]."

hiss……

No one in the place took a deep breath, especially the generals of the military attache group, who were happy because they knew what to say.
