Dressed as Wu Dalang, Jinlian please respect yourself

Chapter 540
When the figure of 300 million troops came out, all the generals of the Liang Kingdom present felt incredible.

If the tsarist state recruits another 300 million troops, the total force will be as many as 600 million, which is more than 200 million more than all the horses in the tsarist state of Liang.

Liu Tang stood up at this time and bowed his hands to Wutian: "Your Majesty, since the Tsarist Kingdom is preparing to recruit 300 million troops, should we also recruit more than 200 million more troops from the Central Plains, so that our military strength can be equal to that of the Tsarist Kingdom?"

As soon as the words fell, many Liang Guo generals agreed with this sentence and expressed their opinions one after another.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I think we should summon some troops to avoid that we have no troops to mobilize in case of emergency. If so, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage?"

"That is, please Your Majesty order to recruit another 200 million people as a strategic reserve team to support our plan to eliminate the Tsarist Kingdom at any time."

Wu Tian looked at all the generals begging him to send troops, smiled and did not speak.

When the generals saw that Wu Tian just laughed and didn't speak, they were very puzzled.

Kong Ming took a step forward and bowed his hands to Wutian: "Your Majesty didn't speak because he felt that there was no need to recruit another 200 million troops. With our current troops and horses, it is enough to destroy the Tsarist Kingdom?"

Wu Tian glanced at Kong Ming, smiled and said: "Brother Kong Ming, you are half right. I really think that with our current military strength, there are as many as 380 million in the Tsar's country. Recruit 200 million troops. Although the current economy and reserves of Liang State are enough to support us to use nearly 600 million troops, the food and clothing needed for such a large number of troops, as well as other consumption, are huge. In the long run, even if Liang Guo will also be dragged down. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, I absolutely do not want to recruit soldiers."

"As for the tsarist state's plan to recruit another 300 million troops, to be honest, I am very pessimistic about this matter. The current military strength of the tsarist state is 330 million, which is 50 less than ours. These troops alone are enough to make the tsarist state The economy has stagnated. If we collect another 300 million yuan, I am afraid that the economy of the entire tsarist state will fall into a stage of collapse. At that time, as long as we procrastinate and do not fight, we will compete with the tsarist state. In less than a year, the economy of the tsarist state will It will collapse. Without us fighting, there will be turmoil within them."

With Wu Tian's explanation, all the generals immediately understood the meaning and nodded their heads.

Huang Xin stood up at this time and handed over to Wutian: "Your Majesty's words are very reasonable, but I feel that although we don't need to recruit 200 million troops, we must at least prepare millions of strategic reserves to prevent the tsarist kingdom from becoming real." The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and we will fight to the death."

Wu Tian pondered for a while, then nodded slightly.

"Brother Huang Xin's words are not unreasonable. We must prepare for the worst. Well, Dai Zong, you pass on my order and order Grand Master Wu Yong to prepare another million new troops, waiting for my deployment at any time. In addition, Order Brother Tang Long to collect ironware and build the railways in the Liao region and the eastern region. Within three months, at least two new railways must be built, so that we can transport logistics and troops more easily.”

Dai Zong quickly recorded Wu Tian's order and went to convey it.

……

In Liangcheng, Wu Yong was very surprised after receiving Wu Tian's imperial decree, and called the civil and military ministers in the court to discuss together on the same day.

Because Tang Long was also mentioned in the imperial decree, Tang Long was also invited to this meeting.

Wu Yong went straight to the point and said: "Ministers, Your Majesty has sent an imperial decree from the Tsarist Kingdom to recruit another million new troops, and at the same time send Brother Tang Long to the eastern part of the Tsarist Kingdom to build a railway between Liao and the eastern part of the Tsarist Kingdom. Judging from the form, our Majesty has already gained the upper hand in the tsar's country. It's just that where to raise the millions of new troops, do you have any good suggestions from the ministers?"

Censor Zhou Yi stood up and bowed to Wu Yong: "Teacher, half a year ago, we recruited a million new troops from the Central Plains. After training, these million new troops have been dispatched into the tsar's country. Now In the tsar's country, the number of Liang troops has reached 380 million. Although these troops will not affect the economic development of our Liang country, it is an indisputable fact that they have consumed nearly one-third of our Liang country's economic income. If If one million new troops are to be recruited at this moment, it will not only increase the burden on the people, but also all the young and strong men in the Central Plains will be dispatched to fight in the Tsarist Kingdom, and there will be no one to cultivate the fields in the vast areas of the Central Plains, won’t it be abandoned?”

As soon as Zhou Yi's words fell, Liu Yi, the chief minister, stood up and cupped his hands towards Wu Yong: "Master, Liu Yi is the chief minister, who specializes in food management. I don't know anything about the war, but I know that now Liang Guo All the food, excluding the consumption needed by all the people of the Liang Kingdom, can support the current 380 million troops for a year and a half at most, that is, if His Majesty cannot completely solve the Tsarist Kingdom within a year and a half, then he will have to withdraw his troops. But If one million new troops are added, then the food to support His Majesty's war will be shortened from one and a half years to one year."

Hearing this, Wu Yong was slightly surprised, and then he also understood why the officials were unwilling to increase Wu Tian's troops.

It's not because they don't want Wutian to win, but more importantly, if they forcefully fight beyond Liang's burden limit, even if the tsar is wiped out, Liang will decline because of this, and other countries such as Japan and England can take advantage of it. .

Wu Yong suddenly felt embarrassed. If Wu Tian's imperial decree was not carried out, if the frontline war was defeated, Wu Tian would definitely be furious, and maybe all of them would die.

But what the ministers said is not unreasonable. Nearly half of the young people in the Central Plains have been transferred to the front lines of the Tsarist Kingdom, so no matter how you look at it, this is a dilemma.

Wu Yong's brows were almost wrinkled, but he still couldn't think of a way to achieve both.

At this moment, Grand Sima Zhou Chang came out, cupped his hands towards Wu and said, "Grand Master, what you ministers are worried about is indeed not unreasonable, but I think there is still room for maneuver in this matter. People in the Central Plains cannot If it is transferred again, the land in the Central Plains will not be cultivated. We can dispatch troops from the Jiangnan area, Annan area, Dali area, and the Western Regions, and dispatch 20 horses from each area. In this way, we can make up a million new troops. At the same time, order these one million new troops to be stationed in the Central Plains, to train and assist the people in the Central Plains to cultivate the land."
