Summoning the Mythical Eternal Emperor

Chapter 885 Initiate a large recruitment?
After Zhao Yuankai read the secret letter, his expression did not change much, everything was within his expectation!
The contradiction between the Shahai Dynasty and the Han Empire is irreconcilable, and the ultimate battle is inevitable.

Even if the Shahai Dynasty did not take the initiative to initiate the Eastern Expedition, when the time came, Zhao Yuankai would point his sword to the Far West without hesitation!
After all, Nancangyu is just an isolated island, which is naturally closed.

Here, the Second Dynasty is absolutely not allowed to exist, and any unstable existence that threatens the Han Empire is absolutely not allowed!

Compared with these, Zhao Yuankai is more interested in the system of the Shahai Dynasty!
"The enfeoffment system... is interesting!" Zhao Yuankai sighed softly.

This is indeed what he did not expect.

Before that, the Han Dynasty knew nothing about the Shahai Dynasty in the far west, so Zhao Yuankai speculated about this ancient country, thinking that it was a place where sects and dynasties stood side by side.

To put it bluntly, it is the model of Murong's Great Desolation Dynasty 1000 years ago!
The Great Desolation Dynasty 1000 years ago is not exactly a national dynasty at all. As the Chosen Clan, the Murong family is doomed to be supreme above martial arts!

They rule the world by force.

They did not develop a complete state system.

Under the Great Desolation Dynasty, there are several super sects, and one of the representatives of the Wuji Sect of Tianqi Old Ghost.

Under the Zongmen, there are large and small primitive cities and tribes, and the lords of these cities and tribes constitute the cornerstone of the lowest level of the dynasty system!
But the Shahai Dynasty is not like that at all.

They actually developed a system of enfeoffment, with the vassal state as the cornerstone, and the military force as the absolute force, they pinched the sect in their hands!

The Shahai Dynasty has already realized the significance of the huge group of people, and also knows that the fundamental basis for a dynasty to stand up for thousands of years is the so-called ants who participate in production!

Cultivators are indeed powerful, but they cannot support a huge dynasty, they are even parasites and blood-suckers of the dynasty!
"No wonder it can stand upright for more than 2000 years!"

"Although farming civilization is still the main body, it can be regarded as a clear understanding of what is called the economic base determines the superstructure!"

Zhao Yuankai sighed again and again, quite surprised.

However, he still didn't care.

Although there are hundreds of millions of people with a healthy structure, the standing army has as many as 700 million soldiers, and it can also be equipped with tens of millions of slaves!
But these are meaningless to the current big man.

The Shahai Dynasty has bright spots, but it is still backward, and it is the backwardness among the backwardness.

Only primitive and low-level countries regard population as the first national strength, and the concept of war is still at the level of simply accumulating troops!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, it seems that the Shahai Dynasty is really going to launch a crusade against the big man. I... How should we deal with it? Should we immediately start the recruitment, Your Majesty?"

Li Hetu bowed and stood in front of the hall, and asked in a concentrated voice.

Start a big recruiting?
"No! That's not necessary!" Zhao Yuankai shook his head.

"Your Majesty, if this information is true, then...then the big man is facing a super army of 600 million! At present, the big man's army is only 110 million, which is too big a gap!" Li He Figure said again.

Zhao Yuankai glanced at Li Hetu and sighed softly.

It's still old after all.

In fact, Li Hetu is also aware of this. In the past few years, he has been trying to reduce his voice as much as possible and participate less in decision-making at the military level.

He has fought wars all his life, and his thinking has solidified, and the rapid development of the military concept of today's Han Dynasty also makes him somewhat unable to adapt.

"King Guozhu, let me ask you, how far will the 600 million soldiers of the Shahai Dynasty have to travel to reach Xiliang?" Zhao Yuankai asked.

Li Hetu thought for a while, and said: "At least across the entire desert plateau, this is a journey of thousands of miles."

"I'll ask you again, do they have trains? Do they have mechanized transportation capabilities?"

"Return to Your Majesty, they didn't!"

"Yes, they only have oxen and horses, and they are still very few. If they want to march eastward, they have to walk on foot. After walking ten thousand miles, tell me, how long will it take for them to come to Xiliang?" Zhao Yuankai asked again.

Now Li Hetu was at a loss for words.

Zhao Yuan smiled and shook his head.

Now he even feels that the Shahai Dynasty is a little stupid. What kind of brain is it that can think of pushing tens of millions of legions across thousands of miles?

They must ensure absolute logistical supplies and a stable pace of advancement, with a time span of at least one year!
With a main force of 600 million and 1000 million servants to follow up, this year's eastward advance alone has directly consumed at least ten years of economic reserves of the Ancient Sand Sea Kingdom!
It's okay if you win, but if you lose, it's completely gone!
Do you think it is a big man who has not only achieved a major agricultural upgrade, but also started industrialization in an all-round way, and the productivity of the country has increased dozens of times?
Why is Zhao Yuan still unwilling to recruit soldiers at this time?

It's not just about cost control, there is another one. During the period of rapid development of the country, not only the army is short of people, but all walks of life are also short of people!

However, it can be despised strategically, but it must not be underestimated tactically.

After a little contemplation, Zhao Yuankai said without any hesitation:

"In this way, old Guozhu, you will call together some high-level officials in the military hall, and then call Huang Xuanhe from the Military Industry Department to give Huo Qubing a sigh of relief. It means that tomorrow morning, I will visit the Anxi theater in person!"

The key point is not the Anxi theater, but the Xiliang underground military base in the core area of ​​the theater, which is the top-secret base where Chen Jingning, the chief scholar of Lizong's mansion, sits in charge!

Zhao Yuankai felt that it was time to see how Chen Jingning was doing. Going to have a look, he also had a solid idea in his heart.

"The old minister takes orders, and the old minister will arrange it now!" Li Hetu knelt down on the ground without any hesitation, and said repeatedly.

"Go." Zhao Yuankai waved his hand.

Li Hetu retreated.

Zhao Yuankai, who was sitting on the Panlong Chair, frowned tightly and fell into deep thought again.

But it didn't cost too much thought. After all, the Guochao stall is so big, and the military is only one aspect.

As the end of the year draws near, all kinds of papers piled up.

Then Hannan also came out with such a mess as Xiao Qingdi, which made Zhao Yuankai feel a headache after thinking about it.

into the night.

Zhao Yuankai put aside the memorial document in his hand, remembered what he promised Xu Xintian before, thought for a while, and said to Yu Huatian beside him:

"Tell me to go to Qingshui Palace with my order, and say that I will arrive in half an hour, and dinner should also be prepared at Qingshui Palace."

"Follow the order." Yu Huatian took the order and withdrew.

Zhao Yuankai, who was sitting alone in Xuanshi Hall, was a little dazed, but suddenly he remembered a person, Zhu Lingxue.
