Chapter 1279 Expansion of the Army

"Your Majesty, the civil and military officials have gone outside the imperial city, do you want to announce that the officials have an audience?"

Three days later, in Xianyang Palace.

In the lower right corner of the throne, Zhao Gao, one of Ying Ji's confidants, said respectfully.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed, and the civil and military officials who were originally scattered around the world of Shenzhou in charge of the affairs of one party have completed the handover of their affairs to their respective officials.

They all arrived at the imperial capital on time and outside the imperial city, and now they are only waiting for His Majesty the emperor to summon them.

"Xuanwen and Wu Baiguan enter the hall."

Hearing Zhao Gao's words, Ying Ji, who was wearing the emperor's robe with a black gold dragon pattern on his head, said slowly.

"promise!"

Hearing this, Zhao Gao bowed to take orders, and immediately turned around to convey the summoning order.

"Xuanwen and military officials meet!"

The feminine and terrifying voice came from the Xianyang Palace with a splendid and powerful voice, and it was transmitted to the outside of the imperial city and to the ears of civil and military officials.

Hearing the words from Marquis Shangyong from Xianyang Palace, the civil and military officials who had been waiting outside the imperial city all slowly stepped into the imperial city and walked towards Xianyang Palace, the power center of the empire.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

In less than a while, all the civil and military officials who came to Xianyang Palace all bowed to Ying Ji and said.

"All the ministers are exempted from gifts!"

On the throne, Ying Ji stretched out his hand to the civil and military officials, and all the civil and military officials were also exempted from the ceremony.

At this point, the meeting officially began.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I don't know why His Majesty has summoned the ministers and others to come here?"

After only a few breaths, Zhao Yong, the Emperor Wu Lingjun, stepped forward and said, asking His Majesty the purpose of the meeting.

Different from the vast majority of feudal dynasties in the heavens and the world, Daqin abolished the rules of the morning court since His Majesty ascended the throne and became an empire.

On weekdays, the civil and military officials are busy with their own affairs. Even if there is something wrong with the empire, His Majesty will basically not call the civil and military officials, but will only call the corresponding ministers to discuss and solve the problem.

A court meeting like this, which convened all the civil and military officials, was undoubtedly a proper court meeting.

Looking at the previous great dynasties of the empire, major events happened almost every time, and the civil and military officials, including Zhao Yong and other great Qin lords, believed that this time would be no exception.

 …

"Do you know the size of the territory of my Shenzhou Great World?"

Hearing Zhao Yong's words, Ying Ji did not directly reveal the content of the meeting, but asked the civil and military officials about the territory of the Shenzhou Great World.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the primordial spirit of the minister, the area of ​​my Shenzhou Great World should be about 9 trillion square kilometers."

"The land area is more than 700 trillion square kilometers, and the ocean area is more than 200 trillion square kilometers."

Hearing His Majesty the Emperor's words, the civil and military officials looked at each other, and in the end it was Doctor Qu Yuan, who was the Marquis of Nanyang and the leader of the Yin-Yang family.

In the previous great fusion of planes, Qu Yuan has been successfully promoted to the realm of immortality.

After being promoted to the Immortal Realm and comprehending the law, Qu Yuan's Yuanshen became extremely powerful, so he was able to make a rough assessment of the territory of the Shenzhou Great World.

Hearing Qu Yuan's words, many civil and military officials inadvertently showed envious expressions.

Up to now, the matter of Dr. Qu and other imperial ministers Tianjiao being promoted to immortality in one fell swoop has long spread throughout the empire.

This is an immortal realm where one can comprehend the law, and both the fleshly body and the primordial spirit can be immortal.

In this regard, not to mention the fascination of countless Chinese souls, even they are envious of the imperial ministers, and they can't wait to be promoted to immortality immediately.

...

It's a pity that the time for them to be promoted to immortality has not yet come, and they can only stare blankly at the moment.

"Yeah, after many plane fusions, my Shenzhou Great World has a territory of 9.456381 billion square kilometers."

"In addition to this, there are 13,594 world races, and more than ten trillion intelligent creatures."

"Compared to before, it can be said that it has improved more than a hundred times."

"But with such a broad territory and so many racial creatures, it is difficult to manage all aspects of the empire's current military strength."

Looking at Qu Yuan, Ying Ji said this.

Hearing this, the civil and military officials couldn't help being stunned.

Although they know that the changes brought about by the fusion of the planes can be described as unprecedented, but they are not the world's heaven, and they have no system, so they don't know the details of all aspects of the Shenzhou world in a short period of time.

Now that they have received this information from His Majesty the Emperor, they are amazed at His Majesty's methods and at the same time they can't help but be shocked by the changes in the great world of China.

"I didn't expect that the world of Shenzhou would change so much."

Civil and military officials thought to themselves.

But immediately, the civil and military officials seemed to have caught something important, and surprises flashed in their eyes.

"It is difficult to manage in all directions with the current military strength of the empire. The focus is not on the front, but on this last sentence."

"Could it be that... His Majesty the Emperor is not ready to expand his army?"

Civil and military officials all thought that, as human elites, they had already grasped the key point.

"Yes, Shenzhou has changed unprecedentedly now. In order to better manage Shenzhou and deal with the wars of the heavens in the future, I want to expand the armed forces of the empire. What do you think?"

Observing Baiguan's demeanor, Ying Ji, who knew that the civil and military officials had already guessed their intentions, nodded and said, which confirmed the guesses of the civil and military officials.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, considering the current situation, it is indeed necessary to expand the imperial armed forces, but I don't know how much military force Your Majesty is going to expand?"

Hearing His Majesty's words, Bai Qi, one of the six Great Qin Marshals, stepped forward and said.

As Emperor Wu'an of Daqin, a military leader, and one of the sixteen immortal powerhouses in the Shenzhou Great World, Bai Qi has a full say in this regard.

"Wu'an-Jun thinks how much military force should be expanded?"

Hearing Bai Qi's words, Ying Ji did not answer, but asked Bai Qi in return.

Hearing this, Bai Qi also thought about it, and made eye contact with Wu Lei, Ying Ji, Cai Yi, Gang Gu Kong, Bismarck and other colleagues from time to time.

After more than a dozen breaths, Bai Qi made a decision.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to Yichen's opinion, it is enough to expand the army from 200 standing corps to 300 and the naval fleet from 20 to 50."

Bai Qi said respectfully, proposing to add one hundred army corps and thirty naval fleets.

This is not just Bai Qi's personal suggestion, but a comprehensive suggestion made by Bai Qi and the other five marshals after several eye contact.

That is to say, this is the suggestion of the six marshals, and it is just said by Bai Qi as a representative.

Hearing Marshal Bai Qi's words, most of the civil and military officials nodded in agreement.

If the expansion of the army is implemented according to this plan, the empire will have a strong military strength of 300 army standing corps and 50 naval fleets in the near future.

Coupled with more than 20 title-level legions, it will be able to handle both internal management and suppression or external expansion wars.

From all aspects, Marshal Bai Qi's proposal is very reasonable, and most civil and military officials agree.
