Chapter 574: Military Expansion Plan (2)
"Seven million? Can the Hongzhuo be passed? Can the finances afford it? Now is an important development period for Pingzhou's three-year plan, and there are many places to spend money!"
Hearing the number of 7 million, Liu Yi was refreshed first, and then asked with some concern.
"It's not a big problem!" Shang Ji nodded, and continued: "We currently have 4.1 million regular troops and 500,000 carefully selected Goguryeo servants. After the transformation of these troops , we only need an additional 1.4 million to complete the goal!"
"1.4 million? This is not a small amount! Although the army is important, don't forget to fish in the lake!"
Although he is a representative of the military, Liu Yi's vision is no longer limited to the military. He was not blindly happy because of the increase in military strength, but solemnly persuaded Shang Ji to seriously consider this military expansion plan.
"Don't worry, I know what's in my mind. Although there is some financial pressure, it's not that big! If it doesn't work, you can borrow part of it from Zhen's first!"
Before the war between Shangji and Goguryeo began, the Zhen family had already begun to build in Liaodong. The progress of the project is fast, and the outline of the city can already be seen. In other words, the Zhen family has been completely tied to the chariot in Pingzhou, and such trivial matters as borrowing some money are naturally not worth mentioning!
"Since Yue Wu thinks it's okay, let's do it!"
After a pause, Liu Yi suddenly looked at Shang Ji with a strange expression, and asked hesitantly: "Yue Wu, it is rumored that you and Mrs. Zhang..."
"Rumours! Definitely rumors!"
It's okay not to mention this, Shang Ji gritted his teeth when he mentioned it.
The gossip about him and Mrs. Zhang not only did not subside slowly, but intensified. Now Mrs. Liu has come to ask in person, which shows that even the core executives of Pingzhou have been affected by this rumor! But Shang Ji could only stare blankly, unable to do anything!
Liu Yi hesitated for a while before continuing: "A man is born again, three wives and four concubines are naturally nothing more than normal. My sister should not object, but if Yue Wu wants to take a concubine, it is best to leave it to my sister. , lest others gossip!"
"I really have nothing to do with that Zhang!" This sentence was almost squeezed out by Shang Ji through his teeth.
"Naturally, of course I know this, I'm just talking casually!"
Seeing the "I really believe in you" expression on Liu Yi's face, Shang Ji's heart was broken.
"I will issue an order to expel all members of the Zhen family from Pingzhou, and cut off all contact with the Zhen family!" Shang Ji stood up and shouted angrily, shaking his fists.
Liu Yi looked at the angry Shang Ji, smiled and said nothing. Sure enough, Shang Ji, who had vented a lot, sat down slumped, waved his hands helplessly and said: "Brother, I really have nothing to do with that Zhang family!!!"
Now Liu Yi believed that Shang Ji and Mrs. Zhang were innocent, and said in surprise, "So it's really a rumor? There are many people behind the rumor that can develop to this level, right?"
"Gongsun Zan, Ding Yuan, Yuan Shao, Han Fu and other princes from all walks of life, political enemies of the Zhang family within the Zhen family, business enemies of the Zhen family such as the Mi family, Wei family, and Yang family, certain clowns in Pingzhou, and even Mrs. Zhang herself participated in the spreading of rumors!" Shang Ji sighed, and told Liu Yi the news from Qian Huan.
"Ms. Zhang herself? Hey, this woman can do it!" Liu Yi directly ignored the other people mentioned above. It is really normal for these people to participate in the spread of rumors, but it would be interesting if Ms. Zhang herself participated!
"This woman made so much money, Yue Wu, do you have to give back to others?" With Liu Yi's mind, he immediately understood Zhang's plan, and teased Shang Ji with a smile.
"Hmph, if I don't go to her to settle the score, it's for the sake of the three cities in western Liaoning. How about giving back? Can I give back to her for lending us fifty million gold?"
Hearing Shang Ji's childish words, Liu Yi was immediately happy: "This is your own business, you can handle it yourself."
Scratching his head irritably, Shang Ji said with deep resentment: "How to deal with it? Could it be that we really expelled all the Zhen family from Pingzhou!"
This is of course impossible,
For the sake of the three cities under construction, it is impossible for Shang Ji to do such a thing!
After joking for a while, the two continued to discuss the expansion plan of the army.
"Since Yue Wu thinks that he can afford the military expansion plan financially, then we will use the figure of 7 million. However, does Yue Wu have a plan for how to allocate the extra 1.4 million?"
"I have a general idea, and I need you to check it out, brother!"
Liu Yi acted as if he was listening respectfully, and Shang Ji didn't give a shit, and said directly: "Of course, the 2 million strategic mobile troops must be built according to the standards of the war army. Fortunately, after this war, many soldiers have successfully advanced. There is a shortage of high-quality soldiers. Some of the guards from various places can be enough to make up for the two million strategic mobile troops!"
"Based on the existing numbers, the special arms of each general will be expanded by 20,000. In addition, Gongming performed well in this war, and he can be authorized to build the exclusive special arm Ax Rider. Let's build a 30,000 Ax Rider first. Ride it, and then increase it after making meritorious deeds.
Yang Cheng's mountain barbarian infantry and Zhang Yun's hundred war pawns are very suitable for the special geographical environment of Goguryeo's many mountains. They are authorized to build another 50,000 mountain barbarian infantry and 50,000 hundred war phantom soldiers. However, most of them will be transferred to Goguryeo. No more than 50,000 people can continue to be ruled by them! "
"Send a batch of my Xingyao Longbow to Goguryeo as well. The Xingyao Longbow can also adapt to the mountain environment and help Gezhen put down the Goguryeo rebel tribe as soon as possible." Hearing that troops suitable for mountain warfare will be dispatched to Goguryeo, Liu Yi took the initiative Make a sound, and propose to draw an extra Xingyao Strong Bow.
"Okay, let's drop 30,000 Xingyao longbows, brother, get tired, and train another 50,000. I heard that the ghost cavalry performed well this time? Then expand the ghost cavalry to 30,000, and brother directly controls 70,000 Xingyao Qiang Bow and 30,000 Ghost Riders make up exactly 100,000 people!"
"Ziyi led the army to attack the city of Wandu. Although there was no thrilling battle, the credit is real, and Ziyi's seniority and loyalty are enough. Let's expand the Lieyang Rider!"
"According to what my brother said, let's expand the Sun Riders to 80,000, and reward Ziyi with two additional scrolls of fierce soldiers. After so long, the Sun Riders are still only the top grade of the Xuan level. Tell him when the Rier Sun Riders broke through When will the earth-level low-rank come out and continue to lead the army!"
"Hahaha, Yue Wu, you are so greedy. It is enough for ordinary princes to be proud to have a special soldier of the Xuan level, but you are still disgusted?"
Shang Ji was stunned when he heard the words. Hearing what Liu Yi said, it seems that his vision is too high? After careful calculation, the orthodox prefecture-level special units in the Shangji Army are black armored Xuanqi, Xingyao strong bow, greedy wolf cavalry, sun shooting soldiers, and silver dragon cavalry. The special arms of a large number of top historical generals including Xu Huang and Gan Ning are only Xuan level.
At present, there are only more than ten prefecture-level special arms in Huaxia District. Thinking about it this way, it seems that I am really asking too much?
