After Zhao Yanhuan prepared everything, news finally came in July from the four great families in Nanzezhou. The total number of private soldiers of the four great families was about 15.

This number is already frighteningly high. No matter how big Nanzezhou is, it is only a continent. A family in a continent can have 15 private soldiers, which is more than the imperial garrison.

Aristocratic families are not qualified to support private soldiers. Although the family has private soldiers and the court has always turned a blind eye, but if it was the first few decades of the founding of the country, the family would never dare to raise so many private soldiers even if it had private soldiers.

The fighting power of the private soldiers of the aristocratic family is definitely not weak, but Zhao Yanhuan thought that her own soldiers were stronger, so she made some calculations and made sure that she could fight.

Of course, we can't start fighting immediately, we need to be gentle first, it is best to be able to defeat them one by one, if not, Zhao Yanhuan is not afraid to fight with strong ones directly.

If there are too many soldiers, there must be a general to lead the army. Zhao Yanhuan named Luan Hu, and Luan Xiong and Zhao Hua'er were generals, each leading the army.

Originally, Zhao Yanhuan wanted Peng Xuan to also lead the army. Peng Xuan is a rare and handsome Jiang, but Peng Xuan was worried about Li Qing's safety, so she refused to leave Li Qing.

Zhao Yanhuan was also worried about her mother's safety, so instead of forcing Peng Xuan to leave, she allocated 1 people to Peng Xuan. These 1 people were mainly responsible for protecting Li Qing, and they were all managed by Peng Xuan.

After she had soldiers in her hands, Zhao Yanhuan realized that she did not lack trained civil servants, but lacked enough generals.

Counting with his fingers, Peng Xuan, Zhao Hua'er, Luan Hu, Luan Xiong, Luan Bao, and Luan Bao are the ones who can lead the army.

But Luan Bao and her uncle Zhao Yibao stared at Dong Guan's treasure house, and couldn't get out of it for a while.

Zhao Yanhuan heaved a long sigh. It seems that the military academy is also on the agenda. Only by paying equal attention to civil and military affairs can we go far. Zhao Yanhuan plans to set up a military academy and train generals as soon as he settles down in Nanzezhou.

With a [-] army in hand, together with logistics and food, they marched mightily to Nanzezhou.

There were too many people, and Zhao Yanhuan, who was far away, hadn't even reached the place, and he had already alarmed the four great families in Nanzezhou.

On the surface of Nanzezhou, there are four great families of Lu, Bai, Jin, and Li. In fact, the three families of Lu, Bai, and Jin are all attached to the Li family, and the Li family is the real emperor of Nanzezhou.

Originally, the four great aristocratic families in Nanzezhou didn't take Zhao Yanhuan, the Nanze Lord, seriously at all, but with the title of Nanze Lord in vain, could they still compare their wrists with the aristocratic families they had run for hundreds of years?

But now, the heads of the three families of Lu, Bai, and Jin are all gathered in the study of the head of the Li family, and everyone's face is solemn.

The head of the Lu family spoke first: "I thought that Mr. Nanze was just a businessman and a woman. When I came to Nanzezhou, I could only hold back. I didn't expect that she had so many soldiers in her hands!"

The head of the Lu family still finds it unbelievable. Is it so easy to recruit soldiers?Not to mention the huge cost of raising soldiers, these soldiers alone are not so easy to recruit.

I really thought that just anyone can recruit soldiers by issuing a notice, and only the court's forced conscription is easier. Ordinary princes and princes are not qualified to forcibly recruit civilians.

Without forced recruitment, if you want the common people to take the initiative to serve as soldiers, you must either pay enough money or have enough prestige, and once you raise your arms, the common people will be willing to join your army as a soldier for the sake of reputation.

These two reasons, no matter which reason allowed the opponent to gather such a huge army in a short period of time, it means that the opponent is very difficult to mess with, not the soft persimmon they thought.

Patriarch Bai said worriedly: "Mr. Nanze recruited [-] soldiers before he came. This is obviously not a good person. Patriarch Li, how do you think we should deal with it?"

Patriarch Jin also frowned, and said: "The other party's trouble is not only that they have summoned [-] soldiers so quickly. My family's spies came back yesterday and brought a very bad news."

Patriarch Jin looked solemnly at the other three patriarchs who were attracted by his words: "The [-] soldiers summoned by Mr. Nanze are fully equipped with armor and weapons!"

"The most important thing is that more than half of the soldiers are strong and healthy, and they don't have the weakness of ordinary people's long-term famine and fatigue. Moreover, the discipline of the army is clean, and they are not stragglers."

As soon as Patriarch Jin said this, the three patriarchs Lu, Bai, and Li gasped and became even more worried.

The opponent not only has one hundred thousand soldiers, but these soldiers are not just mobs, but soldiers who already have combat effectiveness. It is difficult to deal with.

They are all families with private soldiers. Those who have recruited private soldiers know very well that the soldiers who have just been recruited are weak and do not know how to discipline.

So if it was just a mob gathered in a hurry, even if hundreds of thousands of soldiers came, the four great families would not be afraid.

But the current situation is the worst. The soldiers summoned by the other party are not mobs, and may even be very powerful.

Patriarch Bai frowns and speaks again and again: "This is really difficult."

The three Patriarchs Lu, Bai, and Jin couldn't help looking at their leader, Patriarch Li, Patriarch Li knocked the two iron gallbladders spinning in his hands a little bit aggrieved, extremely troubled.

"Where did such a powerful figure come from? No one has discovered before that those officials in the court are all trash!"

"This new Mr. Nanze has been able to create an army of [-] powerful soldiers with plenty of weapons and armor in such a short period of time. It's obvious that he has wolf ambitions, and he can't even find out. It's really..."

Patriarch Li didn't really say the rest because he cared about the precarious majesty of the court, but he didn't say that the other three patriarchs understood Li Patriarch's meaning.

Patriarch Lu couldn't help looking at Patriarch Li expectantly: "Tell me, can we report this to the imperial court?"

"She obviously has the heart of disobedience. Otherwise, she would not be able to immediately equip [-] soldiers with armor and weapons. If the court knew about it, it would definitely not tolerate it."

The head of the Li family couldn't help but sneered and said, "Report to the imperial court? The memorials submitted to the imperial court are all in the hands of Prime Minister Dong Guan first. This Mr. Nanze is Dong Guan's most trusted person. Do you think Dong Guan can let our memorials go to the emperor?" before?"

"Even if we bypass Dong Guan and send this memorial to the emperor, given Dong Guan's favor in front of the emperor, the final result cannot be as we wish."

"Since the new emperor came to the throne, Dong Guan has pushed out and suppressed countless important ministers, many of whom are from aristocratic families, but when the emperor didn't indulge Dong Guan, our memorial will not only fail to move Mr. Nanze down, but may also set him on fire. .”

"Mr. Nanze dared to call [-] soldiers so arrogantly, why did he not hide all kinds of disobedience? It's just that he has nothing to fear."

Patriarch Bai couldn't help becoming irritable: "This won't work, and that won't work. Could it be that we just sit and wait for Mr. Nanze to come and uproot us!"
