Chapter 379: Expanding Strength

The attack on the infantry made Wu Ruotang quite angry, but reason made him bury his anger in the bottom of his heart.

After occupying Fuzhou, Wu Ruotang suddenly found that he needed an army, more troops.

At this time, Zhu Di sent the army to take the initiative to attack him, there must be a big conspiracy behind it! His 20,000 infantry were beaten miserably, and in a short period of time, I am afraid it will be difficult to become a combat force! This made Wu Ruotang feel anxious.

However, what Wu Ruotang didn't expect was that the Yan Wang army that attacked him was not sent by Zhu Di, but by Yao Guangxiao in the name of King Yan, and the main purpose was to hit Wu Ruotang's army and weaken Wu Ruotang's military strength.

Taking Fuzhou was part of Jiang Ziya's plan, but the attack on the army was something he did not expect.

"My lord, right now we are sitting in Sanzhou and have mastered most of Fujian's territory! The next step is to expand the armament! Jiang Ziya frowned slightly.

Wu Ruotang looked at the map and nodded approvingly! Jiang Ziya's words are talking about his heart, expanding the army, expanding the army, the most important thing at the moment is to expand the army.

"My lord, Zheng Chenggong's sailor can transport thousands of Sui Wen refugees every day, most of them are old and weak, women and children, which is also a big burden for us!" Fan Zeng said.

Sui Wen is not in a mess now, the young and strong have been pulled by the major forces, and those who remain are naturally the old and weak women and children who can't survive! Although Wu Ruotang took over the refugees, so many people want money for eating, drinking, and Lazar! The burden on the finances is still relatively heavy! Especially, there is no end in sight for such days!

"What is Mr. Fan's opinion?" Wu Ruotang knew that this was a serious problem, so he humbly asked for advice.

After Fan Zeng glanced at Jiang Ziya, he said quite sadly: "I think we should temporarily ban refugees from entering the country first!" ”

Jiang Ziya seemed to have expected Fan Zeng to say this, so after Fan Zeng made a suggestion, he remained silent.

As a modern person, Wu Ruotang feels that it is inhumane to ban refugees from entering the country, but without waiting for him to speak, some people can't bear it.

"I disagree. How can the lives of refugees be disregarded? They are also people, having lost their homes, their land, their loved ones. It's already very pitiful, and if we close the door to them again, they will have nothing! Emperor Anning's pink face said prettyly.

This meeting was an internal meeting of Wu Ruotang's system, and basically all important people participated, including Wu Ruotang's internal affairs director, Emperor An Ning.

Fan Zeng knew An Ning's identity. But he doesn't know what the relationship between An Ning and Wu Ruotang is? In case An Ning is the woman Wu Ruotang has a crush on, if he is blindly offended, it will not be a good thing! After living a lot of age, this bit of eyesight is still there.

"The old man didn't say that it would be permanently banned, and now that we ourselves are in danger, how can we have the time and energy to take care of the affairs of refugees? I believe that our main focus should be on expanding our strength to cope with the difficulties and challenges that will arise in the future! Instead of putting too much manpower and material resources on disaster relief, this is a matter of sacrificing the basics! Fan Zeng said bitterly.

As an old Cheng heavy-handed faction. Fan Zeng's words were supported by many people. Indeed, in peacetime, accepting refugees can enhance your prestige and attract more talents to join! However, at present, the smoke of gunpowder is permeated, and a major war is about to break out, and it is inevitably a little too inappropriate not to shift the focus of work.

"I don't think the two have an impact on each other. Besides, one more person is one more power! As long as we work together, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome! An Ning said confidently.

For this naïve remark, everyone was quite speechless. An Ning did not experience a real war. She could not appreciate the cruelty of war.

"We'll talk about this topic later, don't rush now, don't worry! I just want to ask you if there is any way to recruit troops as soon as possible. Grow our power quickly! Wu Ruotang diverted everyone's attention and said.

"My lord, our brothers can find a way to gather some of our brothers who were in Liangshan to serve the lord!" Guan Sheng, Zhang Qing and the others stood up and said.

"Oh yes, that's great! The Liangshan army has always been brave and good at fighting, and if they join, we will be like a tiger! Wu Ruotang said excitedly.

With the extermination of Liangshan by the Song Yue court, the 100,000 troops of Shuibo Liangshan were also wiped out, except for those who were recruited by the imperial court, most of them were scattered all over the world! Guan Sheng has a lot of prestige in Liangshan, and now he is mixing well under Wu Ruotang's account, if he and Gongsun Sheng and other leaders come forward to invite, it should not be difficult to gather a group of more than 10,000 people in the old Liangshan department.

Out of thin air, there was an extra army of more than 10,000 soldiers, which made Wu Ruotang quite excited and more confident.

"Lord, I know a Xiongnu tribe with a heart for the Central Plains culture, there are tens of thousands of people, regardless of men, women and children, all of them are soldiers! They wanted to submit to our Han Empire several times, but the emperor never agreed, but they were excluded by the Huns! Under the attack of the two sides, life is very difficult, if the lord is willing, the last general is willing to go through this experience and persuade them to submit to the lord! Li Ling also stood up and said.

The Huns were known for their fierceness and skill, and it was a good choice to recruit a team of Huns as thugs.

Jiang Ziya, who had been acting absent-mindedly, even like he was napping, immediately became energetic when he heard Li Ling's words. Returning to his usual energetic state, a glimmer of light flashed in the old man's eyes from time to time, obviously he was very interested in what Li Ling said about this Xiongnu tribe.

After another small talk, everyone went to work, recruiting soldiers, recruiting soldiers, looking for the old department. Jiang Ziya only left Wu Ruotang and Li Ling behind.

"General Li, what is the strength of the Xiongnu tribe you are talking about?" Jiang Ziya is very concerned.

"Middle and lower, I'm more familiar with the leaders of the tribe, in the Xiongnu tribe, they are more sinicized! Therefore, I have always longed for the civilization of the Central Plains, and it is also a rare outlier among the Huns! Li Ling reported.

Jiang Ziya nodded slightly, and said with emotion: "It's rare that these nomads who drink blood also have a day when they have a heart for civilization, it's rare, it's really rare!" ”

Wu Ruotang also smacked his lips with emotion, people go to high places, and water flows to low places! The sages said that you can fight the world immediately, but you will never be able to rule the world right away! Running a country depends on wisdom and civilization! That's why the Eight Great Empires are standing! As long as there is a civilization inheritance, the spirit will not collapse! (To be continued.) )
