Chapter 110 Thoughts

Seeing that Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi had enough cry, Yang Jie said: "If I had known this chorus would have caused the two masters to do this, it would have been better if I didn't come." He couldn't say it anymore, but in fact, I wish someone could come to experiment with the effect.

"It's time to come, it's time to come." The two old men said, wiping their tears.

"Haha, what do you think about the two masters working with the choir? Is it feasible?"

"It's possible, your majesty."

"It's totally OK, Your Majesty."

The two of them mean the same, both of which mean that it is a good thing for the choir to work hard.

"Guo Huan, did you hear it? Both masters praised this choir for the good things to work in the choir. So, after you passed my test, you are the official leader of the choir. I am going to let you go to the choir for the formal time. I guess you also know that it is Dongjiang Town. Now the weather is starting to warm up and you can set off. Don't worry about safety issues along the way, and I will take care of you."

"I obey the order." Guo Huan agreed calmly at that time, without any surprise or fear. The emperor's song was obviously sang to the people of Liaodong. If you can't even see this, will you still be able to survive in the Ming Dynasty?

"Well, I'm very brave, good, that's how big a companion."

"I am here." Wang Chengen approached and replied.

"I sent an order to send a thousand households of Jinyiwei to lead 200 elite troops to accompany the group to protect the choir, and the safety of the full-time choir." Yang Jing gave high hopes for the choir, and of course he wanted to provide high-level protection. The soldiers went to the concentration camp of men, and there were many women in the choir. If they were not careful, they would invade it. That would be a bad idea. Not to mention slapping themselves in the face, the lover who created the empire would probably go bankrupt.

“Xi…”

“Um…”

Both imperial teachers both exclaimed at the same time, and were protected by thousands of households of Jinyiwei and 200 elite troops. The specifications of this labor force were quite high. It seems that the emperor really had high high expectations for this choir! Thinking about the competition for hegemony by Chu and Han, and the Emperor Gaozu of Han could sing the world with a song of Chu song. His Majesty was not too much to be devoted to this.

Of course, I have such confidence after listening to the choir singing. If I haven't heard it, I will never agree with anything I say.

"I obey the order..." Wang Chengen went to do this.

"In addition, the eight leading singers, each of them fifty taels, and the other choir staff, each of them ten taels, are some of my wishes for you to give you when you are about to travel. Also, when you are away, you must eat well and pay a little higher. I will give you a reward after I come back. I must make sure that the choir has no worries and can work hard for me. Do you understand? Guo Huan?"

"I understand, wuwuwu... Your Majesty is so nice to me." The emperor comforted him again, and rewarded money and increased food and salary. What a great emperor! How can it not touch people?

"Well, I won't say much nonsense. Let's give you three days to prepare. Those with homes tell me some of them. Those who don't have homes can make a good move in the capital. After three days, let's go."

"I obey the order." Guo Huan had already prepared to go out. His Majesty the Emperor wrote a song to intensify the fighting spirit of the border army. How to motivate him if he didn't go to the border? Therefore, when he went out for a long journey, he understood from the first day of practicing singing. He had already been mentally prepared. Those who were prepared would not be afraid.

After Guo Huan left.

Yang Jing decided to discuss the matter of Dongjiang with his two masters. Mao Wenlong's tens of thousands of troops were still outside the effective jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty. Although Mao Wenlong is now respectful to him, he has been in such a safe way that he has not seen it. The gun bar problem cannot tolerate any negligence.

"Master Sun, I want to hear Master Sun's opinions on the issue of the military quota in Dongjiang Town." Yang Jie directly solicited opinions from Sun Chengzong.

"Your Majesty, why do you ask the soldiers of Dongjiang Town?" Sun Chengzong asked back.

“That’s right.”

"Your Majesty, the soldiers of Dongjiang are exaggerated. When the number is reported, the water is extremely high. It is impossible to have more than 100,000 soldiers, and there are no more than 100,000 soldiers. Your Majesty just restrains the Dongguan, how can you need so many soldiers? The emperor must not be deceived by Mao Wenlong." Sun Chengzong was also very powerful. He directly said that there is water in the Dongjiang soldiers, and it is impossible to have so many soldiers. In that case, even if Mao Wenlong goes to other people's homes every day to rob, he will not get so much silver to pay military pay. Without military pay, the army will no longer be called an army. In addition, it does not require so many troops, which directly points out the core of the problem.

"Thank you for your advice from Master Sun. I understand. The quota I have given to Dongjiang is 40,000 soldiers, and the rest of the auxiliary soldiers are not included."

"In this way, Your Majesty, this number is roughly the same as the estimated number of me. This quota is enough to restrain the Eastern Seizure and the Later Jin and protect themselves. No matter how much it is, it is not appropriate." Sun Chengzong said bluntly.

Although Yang Jing and Sun Chengzong estimated the effective number of troops was similar, there were still big differences. Sun Chengzong set the number of troops based on strategic goals, while Yang Jingzong learned about the approximate number of troops from later history. This is the gap.

"The number of soldiers in Dongjiang is now set, and the problem is here. Only 150,000 men and only 40,000 have money. How can the others survive? And the women and children who rely on them to live? Dongjiang is suspended on the sea and does not produce food. If it continues for a long time, it will definitely be a big deal!"

"This...ah...then...then you, this is indeed a problem!" Sun Chengzong frowned, opened his mouth several times, and said this helplessly.

There are actually deep problems with this problem. With the support of the emperor's treasury, Mao Wenlong could afford these people by relying on doing business with North Korea and the Donglu. However, Mao Wenlong was raised by Mao Wenlong, which had nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty and the emperor. Once the troops were more powerful, the ambition would be greater and it would be difficult to greet him in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the situation, limit and control the troops on Mao Wenlong's side. These reserve soldiers also need to find a name to create the territory controlled by Mao Wenlong. But if the Donglu did not kill the Later Jin Dynasty, they would create some warlords.

"In recent years, I think there will be a big battle with the Donglu, so it is imperative to expand the new army. Therefore, I want to recruit a group of soldiers from Dongjiang to solve the hidden dangers there and reduce the pressure on Mao Qing. Those who can escape to the Ming Dynasty must be the ones who are interested in our Ming Dynasty, who are all people who have blood feuds with the Donglu and the Later Jin Dynasty, and who want to take revenge. I believe that their combat effectiveness will be stronger."

What you play is the mind.

Sun Chengzong did not say it out loud, saying, "Indeed, Your Majesty, it is imperative to recruit new troops. Recruiting soldiers from Dongjiang can not only relieve the pressure from Lord Mao, but also obtain a group of people who dare to fight who are determined to take revenge. This is a feasible strategy."

"Since Master Sun also thinks it's OK, then Master Sun thinks it's better to recruit how many soldiers he can recruit?"

Sun Chengzong thought for a long time before saying, "Report to Your Majesty, I think it can be carried out in batches. The first batch is nearly enough to recruit two thousand people. Your Majesty's sermon class is only more than 200, and one area of ​​ten is the limit. No matter how many, it will be too diluted. This is not conducive to the development of the new army. With Your Majesty's training manual, a group of qualified recruits can be trained in half a year. Then, by the end of this year, Your Majesty has more than 2,000 qualified new soldiers, and the second batch will be recruited.

At this time, Your Majesty already has two thousand new troops. Your Majesty can expand ten times and recruit 20,000 people. It only takes half a year of training to get 20,000 new troops that pass the training. By the end of next year, after a little training, you can become a strong army that can be relied on. In this way, if Your Majesty still wants to expand the scale, then, in the third year, if you expand a little, you will have 60,000 or 70,000 troops to fight. In this way, when the Eastern Barbarians and Later Jin detours, the Eastern Barbarians should be more than enough..."

Sun Chengzong is worthy of being a scheming person and tells the story that he has prepared his future military expansion plan.

"Before the end of next year, there will be 20,000 qualified recruits..." Yang Jing calculated in his mind that according to history, the end of next year will be the time for the wild boar skin to enter the customs. 20,000 new troops? Can it be maintained? In the third year, 50,000 or 60,000 new troops, 70,000 or 80,000 new troops are fine. The question is, will you wait for the third year?

Yang Jing thought for a while and felt that he would train his new army according to history. Twenty thousand people seemed unreliable! At least 40,000 to 50,000, but the time was too short, which made him a headache.

After thinking for a while, Yang Jingwei said: "I saw Master Sun regarding the third year as a barrier. Could it be that Master Sun believes that Donglu will enter the pass in the third year?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I believe that the time for entering the pass of the Eastern Jin Dynasty will be at the earliest at the end of next year. If it does not come by the end of next year, then the possibility of coming every year will increase year by year in the future."
