Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 748
But he remained calm.

"Han Aiqing, please tell Zhu Aiqing what we have been discussing these days." Emperor Chen ordered casually, then picked up the teacup and drank tea.

"I obey!" Han Qingshan first saluted Emperor Chen, then turned sideways to Zhu Xiuyuan and said with a smile: "Master Marquis, I have offended many people a few days ago, please don't take it personally!"

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Zhu Xiuyuan waved his hand, secretly raising his guard.

Because he found that he couldn't understand Han Qingshan.

"General Han, let's talk about what we have discussed these days."

Han Qingshan nodded, cleared his mind for a moment, and then slowly said...

It turned out that after the war dozens of days ago, Emperor Chen intended to increase the military strength of Chen State.In less than a year, he was invaded twice by Yan State, and he really had enough.

Moreover, new weapons are now available, which further gave birth to Chen Huang's idea.

Chen Huang's goal is to surpass the Yan army's combat power!
So that I will no longer be bullied by Yan State!
They had already discussed this issue many times when Zhu Xiuyuan was living overseas.

Now Zhu Xiuyuan is back. As the general of the Divine Thunder Army, he is relied upon by Emperor Chen, so he naturally wants to join in.

They had discussed it several times before and roughly determined a route——

The Shen Lei Army and the Changning Imperial Army are used as the "swords", and the army composed of ordinary soldiers is used as the "shield". New weapons and ordinary soldiers coexist, and the two are linked to achieve the purpose of maximizing the military power of the Chen Kingdom.

They had discussed it several times before and roughly determined the framework.

But the specific details still need to be perfected. It just so happened that Zhu Xiuyuan came back at this time.

"The Divine Thunder Army and the Changning Imperial Army are my two sharp swords, Da Chen."

Emperor Chen took over the conversation with a serious expression, "I call it the 'Two Swords of the Country'!"

"The two swords work together to achieve the best results!"

Emperor Chen continued, "Han Aiqing's Changning Imperial Army has been stepping up recruitment... Zhu Aiqing, although you are a marquis, I once said in public that except for your title of marquis, all other relevant matters will be treated as a king! "

"According to the military system of our dynasty, Wang Jue can lead an army of fifty thousand. The Divine Thunder Army is currently less than ten thousand. After you come back, you should increase your recruitment to make up for the fifty thousand!"

"Your Majesty, I obey!" Zhu Xiuyuan bowed.

"In addition, the two beloved ministers don't have to worry about the food, wages and new weapons of the Shenlei Army and the Changning Emperor Army. I will give orders to the household ministers to meet the supplies of the two armies first..."

Emperor Chen hesitated for a while, with a slightly pained look on his face, but finally said: "Even if there is a shortage, it can be spent from my internal treasury! In short, your two armies must raise [-] as soon as possible!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhu Xiuyuan and Han Qingshan bowed together.

At the same time that Zhu Xiuyuan and Han Qingshan were paying their respects, on the left side of the main hall, from King Zhongshan to the rest of the generals of the Yulin Guard and Jin Wu Guard, their expressions were all very ugly.

Because they knew very well that when the Divine Thunder Army only had 1 people, Hubu could not bear it.

Whether it is the food and salary of the Divine Thunder Army or the consumption of the Divine Thunder Factory, it is too huge!

However, this is all right, the Shenlei army has directly expanded to fifty thousand.

The Changning Imperial Army, which is similar to the Divine Thunder Army, also numbers fifty thousand...

The tax revenue of the Ministry of Revenue is limited. If the food and salary of the two armies are satisfied first, what about the other armies?

Although the Jinwu Guards and Yulin Guards are known as the emperor's personal troops, their food, salary and treatment are the best among all armies, even the Beijing Camp cannot compare.

But in the battle dozens of days ago, Emperor Chen had long been disappointed with the Yulin Guards and the Jinwu Guards... Then their future food, salary and treatment, I'm afraid... would be far inferior to those of the Divine Thunder Army and the Changning Imperial Army.

As for King Zhongshan, in addition to worrying about the Beijing camp, he is also worried about the garrisons all over the world. Their food and salary supplies may also be squeezed by the Shenlei Army and the Changning Emperor Army.

But they just looked unhappy and did not dare to say anything more or refute Chen Huang's arrangement.

Because the framework of focusing on developing the "Two Sharp Swords" was agreed by King Zhongshan... But they didn't expect that Zhu Xiuyuan would come back alive!
Then the Divine Thunder Army must make up for the number of 5 people! "As for the rest of the armies..."

Chen Huang finally looked towards King Zhongshan and the others.

"Hey, in the past few days, I have thought about it. The Beijing Camp still needs to be re-established, but the number of people does not need to be 20. One hundred thousand is enough! Uncle Zhongshan, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, veteran... I don't have any opinions on the affairs of the capital camp. It's just... it's just..." King Zhongshan hesitated.

"Uncle, please speak up if you have something to say."

"Yes, Your Majesty. There is no problem with the Divine Thunder Army and the Changning Emperor Army. However, the other armies may also need to implement strategies to strengthen the army. Otherwise, the number of people alone will not be effective, and it will also lead to the overall destruction of Chen Dynasty. The military strength is not enough. It is impossible to surpass the country of Yan."

King Zhongshan actually wanted to talk about the issue of food, wages and equipment, but for some reasons, he did not say it directly.

The current King of Zhongshan is no longer the King of Zhongshan before.

The defeat in that battle shattered his reputation as a "military myth", and he also felt that Emperor Chen's reliance on him had been greatly reduced.

This can be seen from the fact that Emperor Chen newly established the Changning Imperial Army, but the general of the Imperial Army had nothing to do with him.

Although Chen Huang still relied on him, he was no longer as dependent as before.

In addition, King Zhongshan was seriously injured and barely managed to survive. The energy in his heart had long been drained away.

He always felt powerless and disheartened about the affairs of the court.

Due to various reasons, King Zhongshan hesitated just now and had some reservations about what he just said without saying it clearly.

"Yes!"

Emperor Chen nodded, resting his hands on the dragon case, lost in thought, "The other armies also need strategies to strengthen their armies!"

"My dear friends, do you have any good strategies? How can the other armies strengthen their forces?"

Finally, Emperor Chen scanned the ministers below.

However, after Emperor Chen's question, the entire Jinshen Hall fell silent.

No one offered any advice, and everyone remained silent.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Han Qingshan had no control over the other ordinary military services, so they simply remained silent and did not take the initiative to get involved.

King Zhongshan and several other generals wanted to talk about food and salary, but it was foreseeable that once they spoke about it, Emperor Chen would definitely be unhappy.

After all, it’s not that easy to ask for money!

So just don't say it.

"Han Aiqing, what do you have in mind?" Chen Huang directly named him.

"Your Majesty, I believe that if you want to strengthen the army, you must first strengthen military discipline, strengthen drills, and enforce orders and prohibitions. Only in this way can our officers and soldiers of Chen defeat the Yan army!" Han Qingshan said.

"Well, Aiqing is right!" Huang Chen nodded and said with a smile: "Think of the Royal Guards, they were originally a bunch of idiots, but after Han Aiqing left for just a few dozen days, he was completely transformed. In that battle, , played a very big role!”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise!" Han Qingshan bowed.

"Zhu Aiqing, what good advice do you have?" Chen Huang asked Zhu Xiuyuan again.

"Your Majesty, I think that although General Han's strategy is good, it is not complete and needs to be supplemented!" Zhu Xiuyuan said.

"Oh, what else do you need to supplement?"

Emperor Chen was puzzled, and Han Qingshan, King Zhongshan, and Da Jinjun were also full of doubts and looked at him.
