Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 573

[Chapter 573 The Trip to Ulanba]

to Ulanba “Expand the Ningjin Army to 60,000 people to deal with Beidi’s harassment.” Zhao Xu pondered for a while, then said firmly.

He has measured this number, no more, no less.

The limited population made it impossible for him to conscription.

Generally speaking, the ratio of 20 to 1 conscription is quite high, and any higher ratio will affect production and construction.

After all, they are all young and strong.

In this way, he will not have enough population to promote the steam revolution in Yanzhou.

Therefore, Yanzhou has a population of more than 3 million, and he maintained the royal army at 150,000.

Ningjindusi currently has a population of more than one million, so logically it is enough to maintain an army of 50,000.

Because of Beidi’s threat, he only gave 10,000 more, and kept it at 60,000.

“Thank you, Your Highness, 60,000 Ningjin troops are more than enough to deal with a Beidi king’s tent.” Yang Zhen was excited when he heard this.

Zhao Xu looked to the far north and nodded slowly.

In his heart, Ningjindusi and Yanzhou have actually been divided into two theaters.

The Ning Jin Army is in charge of the northern theater, dealing with the Beidi people. In the future, the Ning Jin Army will also be responsible for expanding the territory to the north.

Even if the royal family’s troops participate, they will only cooperate.

If the north was handed over to Ning Jinjun, then the south would naturally be handed over to the royal army.

In addition, Zhou Yi is in charge of the ocean.

That’s all the power he has right now.

In the future, if there is a problem in any direction, the army will be dispatched in that direction, so that the chaos can be calm.

Of course, he did this to dilute military power.

Ning Jinjun, the royal family’s army, and Zhou Yi’s navy are relatively independent, and they are all directly responsible to him.

In this way, it is possible to prevent one general from mastering too many troops.

Of course, it’s not that he doesn’t trust Chang Wei.

Rather, the army needs a stable structure, so that anyone who sits in Changwei’s position will not cause too much trouble.

After chatting for a while about Ningjindusi’s defense, the three of them went down the tower.

Zhao Xu said to Yang Zhen at this time: “General Yang, if you have nothing to do, you can go back to Yancheng and meet Old General Yang and your daughter.

” Son, he said: “It is already a great kindness for Your Highness to let the last general command the Ning Jin Army. The last general is worried that his identity will be exposed and cause trouble for His Highness in the court.”

“Hahaha…” Zhao Xu laughed loudly , “Nowadays, the court is full of

smog caused by powerful clans, and the emperor is almost under house arrest. How can there be any court, you just go, and if something happens, I will take care of it for you.” Disdainfully, “With the support of His Highness, those flies, what are you doing with them, sooner or later, I will stuff them in the latrine to eat shit.”

Yang Zhen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, “It’s really not rough. ”

He felt relieved a lot, that’s right, with the support of King Yan, what else would he be afraid of.

Beidi asked King Yan to drive out Ning Jindusi, how big a storm can this group of powerful clans cause?

After chatting for a while, Zhao Xu went to express condolences to the generals of Ning Jinjun.

The next day, he led Liu Fu and other officials to the county seat near Jincheng.

Let them know more about the situation of Ning Jin Dusi.

After staying for more than three days, he and the others returned to Yanzhou after trekking for more than two days.

…

Beidi Khan Court.

When Zhao Xu arrived in Yanzhou, Mu Lehong really saw Ulanba and his party off with the support of Tiemu Tower.

Thanks to Ivan’s medical skills, he survived the battle.

After returning to Khan Court and resting for several days, he could barely get up and walk.

“Ulanba, you must be cautious in your words and deeds when you go to the country of Ross.” Mu Lehong said seriously.

This Ningjin war made him realize the gap between Beidi and King Yan in terms of firearms.

This gap is so large that relying on the number of soldiers can no longer make up for the advantages of firearms.

So after being injured, he learned from the painful experience and decided to let go of Beidi’s arrogance towards the country of Ross.

Following Ulan Ba’s suggestion, he sent envoys to the country of Ross to establish contact with the country of Ross and find ways to narrow the gap with King Yan in terms of firearms.

“Father Khan, please rest assured that the country of Ross is not Goryeo. The child knows it well, and with Ivan’s recommendation, this mission will go much smoother.” Ulanba looked at Ivan.

Ivan immediately saluted Mule Hongzhen.

The excitement in his eyes was hard to hide.

He thought he would be trapped here by this barbaric tribe for the rest of his life.

I didn’t expect to finally be able to return to the country of Ross in a fair manner today.

Although he still hates Beidi.

But through understanding during this period of time, he believes that compared to Beidi, King Yan of the Dasong Kingdom will be the enemy of the Ross Kingdom in the Far East in the future.

It is necessary to support Beidi to deal with this King Yan.

Of course, this is just his idea.

When he sends the information back to the country of Ross, the great Emperor Nicholas will respond.

Therefore, suppressing the malice in his heart, he said to Mule Hongzhen: “Don’t worry, I will act as a bridge between Ross and Beidi, so that we can establish a good relationship.”

Mule Hongzhen showed his face With a look of gratitude, he gave the Beidi general beside him a look.

General Beidi immediately stepped forward, opened a box, and showed it to Ivan.

Under the sunlight, the box glowed with a dazzling golden light.

Ivan looked over and couldn’t help but breathe a little harder.

It was a box full of gold bars.

“If the country of Ross can sell firearms to Beidi, there will be generous gifts every year.” Mule Hongzhen said.

In addition to the gift to Ivan, he also asked Ulan Ba to bring a heavy gift, which will be given to important officials of the Ross Kingdom.

“Thank you, Khan.” Ivan put the box in his luggage regardless of his status as a missionary.

He wasn’t ashamed, since most missionaries in this day and age were nothing more than spies.

Mule Hongzhen nodded, seeing the sun rising higher and higher, he urged Ulanba to set off.

According to Ivan, they will go to the extreme north, and then from the extreme north to the capital of Ross.

When Ulanba and his party disappeared, Mu Lehongzhen said to Tiemuta: “My injury just needs to be rested, and you can go too, to find your second uncle Ashur.

” Is this necessary?” Tie Muta never dared to refute his father Khan, but this time, he couldn’t control himself.

In order to punish himself, this man who failed in the Khan position competition back then exiled himself and his king’s account to the Far West, fighting against the Tusmans who continued to invade the east every year.

Let him know that his father Khan has lost Ning Jindusi.

The second uncle didn’t know what language he would use to humiliate him and his father.

“Although he doesn’t get along with me, it’s Beidi’s family business. He and I are always on the same page about foreign aggression. Facing the rising King Yan, we can no longer worry too much. Moreover, only he can help you in the short-term. Conquer Tubo in time.” Mule Hongzhen said slowly.

Tie Muta sighed and nodded again.

In this battle, they no longer dared to underestimate King Yan.
