Chapter 371 Army Expansion
"Hoho! Hoho!"
On the vast martial arts arena, tens of thousands of strong men with big arms and round waists lined up to practice. The scorching sun at the end of summer made them sweat profusely, arousing a more intense **** aura.
Standing on a high platform overlooking these sturdy soldiers, Zhao Yinshun nodded in satisfaction.
Tang Hongda is a professional in military training!
As long as they are dragged to the battlefield to see the blood, these rookies will quickly transform into real fighters!
Sensing the boy's expression, Tang Hongda was proud, and reported softly by his side.
"Since Shen Li's class returned to the court, 90,000 veterans have digested the harvest of this battle, and all of them have successfully promoted to the legendary realm."
"With these veterans as the skeleton, [Shenwu Army] has now expanded to 65 divisions, with a total number of over one million."
"Now these are the seventh and eighth divisions in front of you."
Hearing this, Zhao Yinshun rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Is the mixed configuration of each division similar?"
"Yes, 90,000 legend-level veterans are the backbone of the officers. This configuration is enough to expand an army of tens of millions. Now we only need to control a million troops. It is definitely a big horse and a small cart."
Following the young man's ears and eyes, Tang Hongda also learned some novel sayings, which made Zhao Yinshun laugh.
After that, Zhao Yinshun put away the smile on his face, and looked at the two figures with completely different expressions behind him.
A burly man of about twenty-seven or eighteen years old had a pious expression and wild eyes, as if he would not blink his eyes even if he was asked to commit suicide as long as he gave an order.
It was Li Yuerong, the newly promoted general of the army after the battle of Shen Li.
The other one is a middle-aged man who looks a little old, and there is an uneasy feeling in Furui Wubo's eyes that is difficult for others to detect.
"General Lu Yi, please forgive me the last time I saw me retreat in a hurry."
Seeing the gentle expression of the young man in white clothes, Corporal Lixian, Lu Yi's heart trembled, and a trace of flattered panic surged up inexplicably, and he hurriedly said humbly.
"[Zhen Guogong] has a lot of opportunities every day, and it is a great honor for me to meet you in spite of his busy schedule."
Looking up at the handsome young man with a strong childishness, Lu Yi was filled with emotion.
As the imperial court guarding Luzhou, he fought openly and secretly with the local aristocratic family for decades, but was suppressed everywhere, and was even made a poor commander in the end. He was already filled with resentment.
A few years ago, when he heard that a teenage boy was coming to [Liuyin Fengguo] to take charge of life and death, he was still feeling sorry for this boy.
No matter how clever the peerless genius is, he can't beat these cunning local foxes...
However, the development of the matter was completely beyond his expectation. He had no intention of playing political struggle with those old foxes, and directly turned the table over!
In just a few months, the aristocratic families in Linbo County were killed to the point of death, and blood flowed like rivers, which left him dumbfounded.
It turns out that stepping on a horse can still be played like this?
Study is useless! Learning is useless!
However, when he really planned to follow the example of the young [Wu An Jun] at the time and flipped the table, he realized that the conditions of the two parties were completely different.
Because Lanji County, the capital of Luzhou, is suppressing a decisive force—the Confucian sanctuary!
Not to mention that he is only a seventh-rank general, even if the [Emperor] comes personally, he has to give [Sheng Yangong] some face.
Besides, he had already been made into a loner at that time, a general without an army, just like a tiger without minions, he was pinched to death.
Therefore, when Zhao Yinshun led his troops out of [Liuyin Fengguo] to attack Weili County, Lu Yi did not hesitate to reject the olive branch from the aristocratic family, and laughed to see that they were smashed to pieces, and tens of thousands of counties were lost in World War I. soldier.
In the next few years, local snakes in various counties began to expand their army crazily, recruiting him again and again, and the conditions became more and more attractive, but Lu Yi remained unmoved.
On the one hand, because of being suppressed for decades, he has seen clearly the faces of these local insects, and he is filled with resentment.
On the other hand, it was because of the divine induction in the dark that he was very curious about the young master of [Liuyin Fengguo].
He didn't want to become an accomplice of the local family and strangle that young man with unlimited potential, but wanted to know how far he could grow.
Then, he witnessed with his own eyes how a badass is against the sky!
【Wu Anjun】…【Champion Marquis】…【Liu Yinzhu Kingdom】…【Zhen Guogong】…
In just a few years, he has collected all the glory that all generals dare not dream of.
During this process, he not only turned Luzhou upside down, but also went to Yangzhou for "armed disaster relief", killing the local aristocratic families without speaking out.
In the end, Shen Li even sent troops to annihilate the army of millions of Fusang, beheaded six generals with her own hands, and achieved an unimaginable epic record!
At this point, Lu Yi finally let go of his arrogance as a general, straightened his mentality, and observed this eighteen-year-old [Duke Zhen] from the perspective of a subordinate!
Then, an irresistible impulse surged in his heart.
Troubled times are approaching, such a hero is the perfect choice for him to show his ambition!
Moreover, he heard that [Shenwu Army] is frantically expanding the reserve force. Its scale is so huge that even he, a lifelong veteran of the army, can't stand it.
After Shen Li's battle, the strength of the [Shenwu Army] has been recognized as the best in the world. It is the dream of every general to be able to command such an epic army!
So, on the day [Shenwu Army] returned to the country, he sneaked into [Liuyin Fengguo] and met Zhao Yinshun.
Originally thought that it would take many rounds of probing, but he didn't expect that the boy's bearing or self-confidence was more exaggerated than he imagined, so he decided to accept him on the spot and asked him to assist Tang Hongda in the expansion of "Shenwu Army".
Afterwards, he once asked Tang Hongda in private, why the emperor trusted him so credulously, making his prepared plans useless.
At that time, Tang Hongda just pursed his lips meaningfully, and said words that he still couldn't fully understand.
"He can build this army with one hand, and he can destroy it with his backhand!"
"Remember, without [Shenwu Army], your majesty is still [Zhen Guogong]."
"But without the emperor, this army is not worthy of the word [Shenwu]!"
Flying memories surged in his mind, Lu Yi stared at the unreal handsome young man in front of him, and seemed to have a little understanding of Tang Hongda's words in his heart.
"I walked in a hurry last time. I wonder if General Lu is used to [Shenwu Army]?"
Looking back at the majestic army in the martial arts arena, Zhao Yinshun asked softly.
"My lord, to be honored to join [Shenwu Army] is the greatest blessing in my life."
Respectfully clasped his fists and saluted, Lu Yi answered from the bottom of his heart.
At his level, one can see how terrifying the [Shenwujun] is at a glance.
Not only are the officers equipped luxuriously, or extremely extravagantly, but the equipment is even more crushing than all other Damin armies.
And the invincible achievements along the way have cultivated a pride and arrogance that is no one else.
Even those recruits who have just been incorporated into the [Shenwu Army] are infected by the invisible and intangible will in the army, with a kind of invincible spirit.
Just over a month of expansion, rectification, and practice, his long-stagnant cultivation began to increase significantly.
This made Lu Yi, who had been aggrieved for decades, sweep away the gloom and glow with endless vitality.
Thanks to his rich experience, Tang Hongda's pressure was greatly relieved.
The three **** generals worked together to make the expansion of [Shenwu Army] basically completed in such a short period of time.
"Hehe, General Lu is serious. Your joining will make [Shenwu Army] even more powerful."
Zhao Yinshun smiled at the corners of his eyes, and Lu Yi was flattered by his kind voice.
This is not polite, without Lu Yi's support, the two generals he cultivated alone would not be able to lead an army of millions.
No, even with three generals, it is still very difficult to control an army of one million.
All rely on the 90,000 legendary backbone officers to share the pressure, and Li Yuerong's [moving like thunder] military path to barely command it.
Normally speaking, an army of one million needs at least six or seven generals, and it is best to have an eighth-rank soldier, Dao Yasheng, in order to maximize the strength of the army.
But there is no way, his rise time is too short, his background is seriously lacking, and his pace is too fast, it is normal that the matching cannot keep up.
As the saying goes, it is easy to get a thousand soldiers, but hard to find a general. Even if the myth of the path of war is one of the simplest and easiest gods, it still takes time to grow.
In just a few years, being able to forcibly support two army generals is enough to be against the sky in the eyes of outsiders.
However, Zhao Yinshun was not satisfied at all.
He is a majestic Damin [Zhen Guogong], he doesn't have a hundred or eighty generals under his command, and he is too embarrassed to say hello to the Four Pillars when he goes out.
But it doesn't matter, he is a fake player, as long as the conditions are ripe, he can forcibly improve the strength of his subordinates.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yinshun looked at Lu Yi meaningfully.
"General Lu, you walked in a hurry last time, but I heard that the counties in Luzhou seem to have formed a coalition army, ready to resist me?"
Hearing the business, Lu Yi held his breath and nodded solemnly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, ever since you broke through the city of Weili County, all the major families in Luzhou fear you like a tiger. They are afraid that you will march westward and kill them all."
"So they went uncharacteristically, expanded the number of nearly 700,000 county soldiers in the past few years, and repeatedly invited their commanders..."
Speaking of this, Lu Yi changed the subject and showed his loyalty without any trace.
"However, my subordinates are well aware of the inadequacies and schemes of the aristocratic families, so they resolutely rejected their wooing, and then they transferred six generals from the frontier army and the kings through the relationship between [Sheng Yangong] and [Sheng Jinlian]... "
Hearing this, Zhao Yinshun's eyes lit up.
"700,000 troops, six generals??!"
Thought Zhao Yinshun was surprised by the size of the enemy, Lu Yi quickly explained.
"Yes, in fact, the background of the powerful families in the world is unfathomable. As long as they are willing, it will not be difficult to raise an army in a short period of time."
"What's more, all the counties in Luzhou were frightened by you this time, and spent all their money to expand the army crazily, which is why they have such a huge scale."
"But this is still not their limit. The subordinates estimate that if they resort to military action regardless of the cost, they can still pull out another two million troops, but there are not enough generals to command them, and these troops will be scattered."
Hearing this, Zhao Yinshun was not surprised at all.
The state treasury is so poor that rats run out, and the common people are struggling to make a living. These insects eat from both sides, of course they are fat and oily!
In addition, according to the calculation of the population of the three counties of [Liuyin Fengguo], the remaining 13 counties in Luzhou have a population of at least 200 million.
That is to say, the resources needed by the extraordinary army far exceed the army of the previous life, otherwise it would not be impossible to pull out tens of millions of troops.
You know, when World War II was the worst, the Soviet and German armies accounted for more than 10% of the population!
Rubbing his chin, Zhao Yinshun's eyes flickered with excitement, and he subconsciously licked his lips.
But soon, he realized that the next thing he had to face was not foreign invaders, but the people who were about to submit to his rule.
You can't kill as you please.
With a sigh of regret, Zhao Yinshun looked into Lu Yi's eyes and asked softly.
"How does General Lu think their army compares to [Shenwu Army]?"
Subconsciously glanced at the sturdy military formation in the martial arts field, Lu Yi showed a contemptuous smile from the bottom of his heart.
"Although they have practiced hard, they are still a bit stronger than ordinary county soldiers, and they are not worthy of being compared with [Shenwu Army]."
As he spoke, Lu Yi stared into Zhao Yinshun's eyes, clasped his fists and whispered meaningfully.
"Your Majesty, as long as the army moves, the enemy is just a group of chickens and dogs, vulnerable to a single blow!"
"oh?"
Curling the corners of his mouth with great interest, Zhao Yinshun looked around at the three generals and asked with a smile.
"Then do you think [Shenwu Army] is ready?"
Hearing this, both Lu Yi and Li Yuerong's eyes lit up, but they didn't dare to speak rashly, they just looked expectantly at Tang Hongda.
However, Tang Hongda pondered for a moment, still cautiously seeking truth from facts.
"My lord, the reorganization of the [Shenwu Army] has been roughly completed, but it may take a while to fully display its combat effectiveness."
Hearing this, the eyes of the two people behind him darkened, and they sighed with regret.
But then, Tang Hongda changed the subject, cupped his fists and said with a light smile.
"However, I think [Shenwu Army] can adapt in actual combat."
Seeing Tang Hongda's confident appearance, Zhao Yinshun smiled.
"Okay, let's start training with battles."
……………
Boom~
The gorgeous porcelain worth thousands of gold was smashed to pieces, and in a luxurious mansion in Luzhou Prefecture, a group of aristocratic family heads were sitting on pins and needles, frowning.
"Yan Xin, that is an out-of-print Ru porcelain, remember to accompany me with a thousand gold coins."
"Shi Xingguo, what time is it, do you still care about these things?!"
"What else? Did you demolish my house?"
Shi Xingguo rested his forehead tiredly, and there was also unresolved melancholy in his eyes.
Seeing that Yan Xin was furious, a patriarch of an aristocratic family next to him hurried out to smooth things over.
"Okay, let's talk about business. According to intelligence, that kid is expanding his army crazily. I heard that the number of divisions has increased to more than 50, and the final scale may surpass our army!"
"What will the gods say?"
"At first, they were full of confidence, but after seeing [Shenwu Army]'s record in Shen Li, they became a little timid."
"..."
Thanks to [Paladin] [Su Ye Xuan You] and other book friends for their rewards.
The flag is no longer set up, just ask for ticket maintenance. (╥﹏╥)
