But these are not counted, Lao Cheng suddenly said: "Your Majesty not only gives you 5,000 private soldiers, but also gives you the right to recruit soldiers." Not long ago www.biquge.info, you sent Li Fenghua to beg Your Majesty, saying that you were planning to subdue the end of the Turpentine, and at that time you asked for 20,000 conscription rights, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty thought you were arrogant, but do you know what Your Majesty said? ”

Han Yue was already so shocked by the previous news that he didn't dare to ask again, and muttered, "Your Majesty agreed." ”

"Why don't you agree?" Lao Cheng snorted, and said with blazing eyes: "At that time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not agree, but His Majesty waved his arm, laughed and said: The stinky boy wants to pass through Liaodong, how can 20,000 soldiers and horses be enough?" I have already appointed him as the chief of the march of Hebei Province, how can he do it if he has no power or power? I will build him two hundred high-class mansions, and allow him to recruit soldiers at will, without any upper limit......"

Boom –

Han Yue's head shook again, and his hands trembled a little.

The Tang Dynasty Zhichong Mansion is divided into upper, middle and lower classes, which are responsible for recruiting and training government soldiers, of which the upper Zhichong Mansion is full of 1,200 people.

If Li Shimin really built 200 Zhichong Mansions for him, according to theoretical data, Han Yue would have an army of 240,000.

Although this army is not a private soldier, but with such power in its hands, who can rule the world except the emperor?

You have to know how many soldiers there are in the entire Tang Dynasty? The total number of people in the country does not exceed 800,000, and this has to be counted as all those who work at home.

Li Shimin's move is tantamount to allowing Han Yue to control a quarter of the country's armed forces.

……

Lao Cheng's face was full of emotion, and he suddenly said: "Don't be too optimistic about this matter, although Your Majesty has given you so much power, but after all, Datang has not been established for a long time, and money is being used everywhere, and the treasury is very empty." ”

He glanced at Han Yue, and then said, "Your Majesty has already said that he will give you the right to recruit soldiers, but he doesn't care about raising soldiers. You can raise as many soldiers and horses as you want, and the imperial court should only be blind in this matter, even if you can raise 500,000 soldiers, as long as you can afford to raise them, that is your ability. ”

Han Yue's face was strange, and he said with a wry smile: "It turned out that the power was not given, and I was excited for a long time to lose, and Your Majesty was really ...... the door."

"Fart!" Lao Cheng snorted violently and interrupted Han Yue: "There are dozens of people who have sealed the Tang Dynasty, and there are hundreds of marquises, who do you see who is qualified for this honor?" Don't mention to the old man what the chief of the march of Hebei Road, there are twelve roads in the country, and you are not the only one in charge of the march. The old lady was named the Duke of Lu Guo, the official worshiped General Zuo Wuwei, the hereditary Puzhou Assassin History, I have saved His Majesty's life twice in my life, do you see Your Majesty give me half of the Folding Mansion? ”

Lao Cheng glanced left and right, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Boy, listen to the old man, Your Majesty has allowed you to recruit soldiers, this is a godsend, you have to hold on even if you smash the pot and sell iron." Your Majesty has given your army a name, and the name is the Tianlong Army, tsk, listen to how majestic this name is...... Don't pout, boy, the old man will greet you with an axe. ”

Han Yue was stunned, and Lao Cheng told him earnestly for half a day, he almost forgot that the person in front of him was the first hob meat in the Tang Dynasty.

If others play hob meat with him, Han Yue is not afraid, it's a big deal not to pee on that pot. It's just that Lao Cheng can't, he is Cheng Chumo's father.

In ancient times, he married as a brother, the parents of a brother, and also for my father, Han Yue and Cheng Chu bowed silently, and Lao Cheng was definitely qualified to beat him.

Hearing Lao Cheng then said: "Boy, the old man knows your ability to make money, the people of the Central Plains almost worship you as the God of Wealth, and the people of the mutual market know how to worship your statue." Cheer up and make good money, get a few million a year, and strive to raise an army of 200,000. ”

Han Yue was dumbfounded, Lao Cheng had a big breath, and when he opened his mouth, he asked him to raise 200,000 troops in captivity, even if the emperor granted so many recruiting rights, who would dare to do it? Now is the early stage of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not the late Tang Dynasty, how can Li Shimin, a talented and strategic person, tolerate the appearance of the Jiedu envoy?

He shook his head slowly, always feeling that this thing was unreliable.

The affairs of the world are always confused by the authorities, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all know his identity, and they also understand why Li Shimin acts like this, but Han Yue himself is encouraged, always worried that his military power is too great, and he will end up in a bad end.

Jin Ling'er next to him suddenly interjected, and asked Cheng Yanjin with deep meaning: "This lord, your emperor gave him the right to recruit soldiers, I don't know if there is a limit to the scope?" ”

Lao Cheng was slightly stunned, smacked his lips and muttered: "I didn't elaborate on this matter, but the Marquis of Jingyang was the head of the Hebei Provincial March, and according to common sense, he could only recruit troops in Hebei Province." ”

Jin Ling'er frowned, and said softly: "Although your Datang's Hebei Province has jurisdiction over Shandong and Hebei, the main scope is in Yingzhou, Liaoxi, this area is vast and sparsely populated, not to mention raising 200,000 troops, it is very difficult to collect 20,000 soldiers and horses, I think your emperor is clearly giving a pie ......."

She is a princess of Silla, she has received all kinds of knowledge since she was a child, and she has mastered all the major events in the world, and this judgment is not empty words.

Cheng Yanjin glanced at her meaningfully, and said: "You are a good girl, you know how to protect your husband before you get married, tsk, women in the Central Plains are not as smart as you, they generally only teach each other." "It sounds good, but the implication is that women don't intervene in men's affairs.

Jin Ling'er's face flushed, she knew that Cheng bit Jin's words and had words, but she still bravely puffed up her chest and retorted loudly: "I am good friends with him, of course I want to help him speak, your emperor knows that this place is sparsely populated, why do you want to deceive people by painting cakes?" Hmph, do you want to build 200 Zhechong mansions to raise rats? ”

The chick's words were intense, and Cheng bit the gold and rubbed her teeth. After all, he is an elder, although the little girl in front of him is angry, but if she wants to marry Han Yue after eight or nine years, Lao Cheng is not good at using hob meat to quarrel with her.

"Little girl has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, it's a pity that you have long hair and short knowledge, I am very talented and strategic towards Your Majesty, and there is no discount for rewards, how can I secretly do that thing to paint cakes to satisfy hunger."

Han Yue suddenly coughed dryly and muttered, "Although Kanto is vast and sparsely populated, it is not too difficult to recruit soldiers. He glanced at Lao Cheng, then at Jin Ling'er, and explained in a low voice: "There is a lack of Han people here, but there are a large number of barbarians, but they live between the white mountains and black waters, and there is no fixed place for nomadic hunting. ”

"Really? How come I haven't heard of it? Jin Ling'er looked confused, even Lao Cheng was in disbelief.

Everyone knows that there are some ethnic minorities living here, but no one takes them seriously, so naturally they will not investigate the customs here.

Han Yue smiled and continued to explain: "As far as I know, the Great Land of Kanto is thousands of miles in circumference, and there are millions of barbarians living in it. Since Your Majesty has given me no upper limit on the right to conscript, then I will be crazy and brutal, and the brute soldiers ......"

"A barbarian can be a soldier too?" Jin Ling'er's little face was sluggish.

Han Yue laughed, his eyebrows fluttered: "Barbarians are also people, they live in the mountains and forests, and their physique is stronger than that of the Han people, how can they not be recruited as soldiers?" ”

His eyes were blazing, one hand was behind his back, and the other hand was pointing to the northeast, and he said lightly: "From here, a hundred miles to the northeast is Yingzhou, where there live two vigorous people, one is called Khitan and the other is named Xi. Five hundred miles further north, there is a large ethnic group called the Yan Ya, the population of these three ethnic groups is one million, and I can also raise 200,000 soldiers and horses by drawing one out of five. ”

Jin Ling'er's eyes gradually lit up, and she said with joy: "Then what are you waiting for, I'll accompany you on a trip." ”

Han Yue was slightly stunned, seeing that the chick was eager, as if he wanted to let him recruit soldiers and horses now, Han Yue smiled bitterly and said, "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run, how can you just do it?" If you want to recruit barbarians as soldiers, you must at least subdue them first, and you are too anxious. ”

Cheng Yanjin next to him watched coldly, and suddenly said: "This girl is in a hurry to go home, she wants to see you succeed before leaving......"

Han Yue's face changed, he subconsciously looked at Jin Ling'er, and hesitated, "You want to go back?" ”

The little girl smiled at him, but her voice was a little gloomy, and she sighed faintly: "I am an envoy this time, and I was originally a friendly act, but now I am completely disrupted by you." Goguryeo dominated Liaodong and had long had the intention of annexing Silla Baekje, so this time they found an excuse to definitely send troops to attack our country. ”

She looked up at Han Yue, her eyes were reluctant, and she said softly: "I am the princess of Silla, and it is a private affair to fall in love with you, and it is a state affair to resist aggression." My father taught me since I was a child, and as a member of the royal family, I will serve the public and look forward to private ......"

She suddenly stretched out her little hand, gently rubbed Han Yue's face, and muttered, "Han Da is stunned, don't blame me, okay?" If I, Silla, can withstand this crisis, I will definitely ask my father to decree that I should marry far away from the Central Plains. ”

Han Yue felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't open his mouth to stop it. Jin Ling'er can give up her personal feelings for the country, which can make countless traitors embarrassed, and she really has the heroic posture of not letting her eyebrows go.

This kind of thing is not easy for Lao Cheng to dissuade.

He and Han Yue looked at each other, and the two big men sighed at the same time, frowning and thinking hard about countermeasures.

Jin Ling'er took out the desert eagle from her bosom and smiled softly: "You don't have to worry about me, with this artifact in hand, even if Goryeo really attacks Silla, I will die cleanly, and I won't let Gao Yuan's fingers stain my body." ”

This remark involves the love words of the youngest daughter, and Lao Cheng is not easy to listen to as an elder, so he hurriedly turned his head and took a few steps back, ready to set aside time for the two young people.

He just turned his head, and suddenly a strange thing, Lao Cheng subconsciously said 'ah', and said with a strange face: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, when did you two come?" ”

Han Yue was taken aback, looked in the direction of Lao Cheng, and saw the figures of Li Shimin and the eldest grandson, hiding behind a group of cavalry.

The emperor snorted coldly, walked out slowly with his eldest grandson in his hand, and said with an angry face: "I didn't go back, I met the queen halfway, she didn't want to come and see the stinky boy, I had no choice but to turn the horse's head after that." ”

He looked at Han Yue, slowly moved to Jin Ling'er, looked at Han Yue's face with anger, but when he looked at Jin Ling'er, he suddenly retracted, and said softly: "You are Princess Deshan of Silla?" Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you are my daughter-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, if Goguryeo dares to attack Silla, I will send troops to save it. ”

Jin Ling'er was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

The eldest grandson walked out slowly, pulled the chick up, and said softly: "The water vapor by the river is heavy, don't kneel on the ground." The queen gently helped Jin Ling'er pat the dirt with her hand, her eyes swept Han Yue slightly, and she said angrily: "Stinky boy, this time for the sake of your little credit, this palace will spare you once." ”

Han Yue's face was embarrassed, the queen said this headless and brainless, but he understood the meaning, it was to praise him for hooking a girl back.

"Your Majesty, the minister has decided to sneak attack Goguryeo tonight! That Gao Yuan would never have thought that we had just done it with him during the day, and we would go again at night......" In order to alleviate the embarrassment, he also had a plot in his heart, and suddenly turned his head and asked Li Shimin for his life.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, but Li Shimin groaned with a deep look in his eyes, and nodded slowly: "If you are not prepared to attack it, you can give it a try." ”
