Chapter 97 Planning 123
His Majesty the Emperor said: "I think one thing that must be started immediately is the expansion of the imperial army."
Due to the special national conditions, the empire had few armies and a single nature. In fact, there were only local troops.
The ruling army is only temporary and is formed when needed and disbanded after completion.
The Ministry of War is responsible for the basic training and daily training of new soldiers, as well as various ordnance logistics support. It is also led by the court represented by the Prime Minister and the military headquarters represented by the General of the Pillar Kingdom.
After the training of new recruits is completed, it will be handed over to the military headquarters to arrange specific work such as duty, combat, and defense.
There were ten roads in the empire, each with a general in charge, and a general of guards of different sizes were in charge, and they were all directly subordinates of the general of the Pillar Kingdom.
The number of local troops in each road is very small compared to the vast land area, not to mention that compared with the number of troops that occupy more than the overlord powers, the number of them is not only far superior, but also includes local troops, border troops, field troops, etc.
The military headquarters did not force the number of imperial troops, which was small and exquisite. The overall combat power of the imperial army was not slightly weaker than that of those overlords of powerful countries. The strength of the soldiers was definitely the highest in the Tianyuan Realm. Moreover, although there was no battle of conquest, it did not mean that there were few bloody battles experienced.
Every time a joint ruling army was formed, the imperial soldiers would occupy more than half of the quota. Every time they were dispatched, they would be a sure-killing battle to destroy the country. Naturally, they could not expect the other party to wait for death. This also brought considerable casualties to the ruling army, but it was also a kind of bloody experience.
There is a dedicated person to record the merits of each soldier, and when he retires, he will be converted into various rewards not only for himself, but also for his descendants. If he has outstanding merits, he can be awarded a title or even a country!
For example, the lifelong military achievements of the general of the Pillar Kingdom, Yuchi Ba, were enough to enfeoff a country with five counties. Only the soldiers in the army had this opportunity to have titles and states, and civil servants did not have this opportunity.
When it comes to expanding the imperial army, the happiest person is of course Yuchi Ba.
Qin Mu frowned and said, "Will this arouse misunderstanding and vigilance among the nations?"
His Majesty the Emperor briefly describes the situation where the disaster of wild beasts and spirit beasts will become more and more serious, and said:
"This will be a huge change that will affect the entire Tianyuan Realm. If the countries in the world, especially those weak and small countries, will suffer heavy losses if they are not prepared, this will greatly consume the vitality of the entire civilization. I think the Prime Minister of Qin can come forward to formally inform the countries of this matter and let them prepare early.
Also, as the world becomes extremely active, various natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides and other natural disasters will occur frequently. We can conceal the real reasons, but the data observed by the Imperial Heaven Monitor can be revealed. Let them guess the specific reasons for themselves.
In this context, it is natural for us to expand our army."
Qin Mu nodded, thinking that it was so feasible.
"In addition, you have also seen that the frequency of the ruling army is being dispatched higher and higher. As before, it may not be possible to disband after the matter. Turning it into a permanent force stationed near the capital of Shendu, and increasing its scale. Do you think it is feasible?"
Yuchi Ba took the lead and said, "Why is it not feasible? I still want it. In the past, because the Judgment Army was the most powerful military force at the peak of the Tianyuan Realm, and all kinds of equipment were the top, and it took too much military pay, so it usually did not exceed 10,000 people.
Our empire soldiers account for more than half of the quota. Other overlord powers, including the four dynasties, share the remaining half, which is not enough. Many countries cannot make it this time and have to wait for the next time or even next time opportunities.
As long as we show a little bit of the tone of expanding the ruling army or even turning it into a permanent force, they will even promote this matter more actively than we do!"
His Majesty the Emperor nodded, and those countries were not afraid of their soldiers being raised by the empire and changed their hearts.
Because this quota belongs to these countries, they have always regarded the ruling army as the world's top martial arts school, and can also participate in many battles to destroy countries and obtain the corresponding proportion of the quota to the quota. They rotate a group every once in a while, so why would they be afraid that the empire would invite people to buy people's hearts?
The empire occupied more than half of the quota in the ruling army, and this proportion was also the distribution of trophys, not only because of the title of a "sect leader", but also because it also bears all the expenses, equipment, equipment and other expenses of the ruling army.
The soldiers of other countries only need to come empty-handedly, and go back with spoils and full of experience and insights. Those who die will also receive a considerable pension.
Qin Xiang nodded in agreement and said, "But in this way, the military expenditure in the future will be too large, more than several times the previous one."
His Majesty the Emperor and Yuchi Ba looked at each other without saying a word, and they were all used to being flawed.
Given the financial situation of the Nei Mansion, not to mention the military expenditure that is most of the time, even dozens of times can be squeezed out. As a result, the number of imperial troops is already very low, and the Nei Mansion's ability to make money is not ordinary terrifying.
The imperial court was very sinister. The Ministry of Revenue planned its own money in various places early every year. A fiscal crisis occurred in its account books before two months had passed.
Once you encounter unplanned situations, such as disaster relief, you will ask for money from the inner government. There are other major projects and projects. The first thing you do is to ask for money from the inner government. This will make it easy to expand the army with the inner government's money like moving the imperial court's cheese.
His Majesty the Emperor said: "I have some other ideas. You can consider whether it is feasible or not. Some of them still need the cooperation of the church."
Then, His Majesty the Emperor was responsible for his imagination, and the other three were responsible for analyzing the specific feasibility, and discussing several plans that had far-reaching impact in the future.
In their discussion, they simply call it "Plan 1", "Plan 2", "Plan 3"...
After a deep conversation, everyone scattered until late at night.
Elder Linghu floated away alone, and General Qin and General Yuchi left hand in hand.
Before breaking up, Yuchi Ba smiled and said with a sigh: "Our Majesty is really not simple. He has really taken him as simple as before."
Qin Mu didn't say anything, but he walked slowly alone, but he deeply felt that.
He knew that what Yuchi Ba was talking about was not the great opportunity that His Majesty suddenly obtained, but his mind and courage to observe things.
When he saw him not asking about state affairs and doing some ridiculous things all day long, he gave many reasons in his heart. "This guy is hiding" is the most important thing, but now he suddenly realized that he was not playing dormant, and he really didn't take the dish he was protecting closely.
He was a little disappointed by decades of monopolizing power and making arbitrary decisions.
But soon, he walked out of this meaningless depression. A new world was waiting. How could he have a trace of slackness and depression!
Chapter completed!
