Chapter seven hundred and forty seventh military discussion
Murong Fu's eyes flashed slightly, thoughtfully, Kangxi wanted him to get rid of Prince Bao.
For a moment, Murong Fu had a headache. It wasn't that he couldn't kill Prince Bao, but that killing him would be more harmful than helpful to him.
Prince Bao's territory is located in the north of Jin Kingdom and east of Mongolia. It is a battleground for military strategists. Over the years, it has been managed like an iron bucket. Moreover, Prince Bao's talent and strategy are not inferior to Kangxi's. Even in terms of experience,
He was more sophisticated than Kangxi. With him in charge, he could contain Mongolia and the Jin Kingdom at the same time.
Of course, if this is the case, it would not matter if Murong Fu killed him. However, as soon as Prince Bao died, Kangxi could immediately seize all the power in his hands. With all the power condensed into one force, the Qing Dynasty by then would really dominate the world.
It's more difficult to deal with.
The foundation of the Murong family is completely inferior to that of other countries. If they want to compete for hegemony, they can only make careful calculations and balance the various forces so that they can consume each other to the maximum extent. Neither one party can be too strong nor one party is too weak.
No one knew what was written on the letter in Murong Fu's hand, but seeing Murong Fu's face become serious, they couldn't help but guess whether something big had happened again.
After thinking for a long time, Murong Fu finally shook his head and decided to put it down for now. He was going to Shaolin Temple anyway, so he might as well go to the capital first to see the situation.
"A'Zhu, is there anything else going on?" Murong Fu asked.
A trace of hesitation flashed across A'Zhu's face, and finally he looked at Huo Qingtong, "Let Sister Qingtong do the talking."
Murong Fu turned his eyes and looked at Huo Qingtong, who was at the back of the crowd. He was wearing a general's armor and full of heroic spirit, which instantly aroused Murong Fu's desire. However, in front of everyone, he still tried his best to hide the strange look on his face.
He opened his mouth to Huo Qingtong and said, "Qingtong, how is the situation of Tianxuan Army?"
Huo Qingtong seemed to be distracted. When Murong Fu called him, he couldn't help but exclaimed. When he came to his senses, his cheeks were red, and he muttered for a long time, "Qingtong, can I ask you a favor?"
Murong Fu was startled for a moment, "What's the matter?"
"My sister-in-law has been missing for a long time and has not been found yet. Can we use the power of the Crystal Palace to find her?" Huo Qingtong said, tears glistening, and she was about to cry.
Murong Fu was immediately surprised, "Have you found Karis yet?"
As early as three months ago, when he learned that Caris was missing, he ordered the Crystal Palace and the Blood Shadow Palace to search with all their strength. Unexpectedly, they still haven't been found yet. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Li Mochou and Gong Yeqian.
The chill was solid.
There is no doubt that if anything goes wrong with Callis, these two people will definitely be severely punished.
Gongye Qian's honest and honest face could not help but show a trace of concern, and his expression was a bit sarcastic, "Young Master Qi, my subordinates have been busy with the relocation of the army camp and have no time to distract him."
When he thought about it, he was just looking for a woman, and he only needed to send his subordinates to take care of it. There was no need for him to*, there were more and more important things waiting for him.
It was not difficult for Murong Fu to guess what he was thinking, so he glared at him fiercely and then turned to look at Li Mochou.
Li Mochou frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment before saying, "A month ago, people from the Blood Shadow Palace found out that a woman who was somewhat similar to what Master said was living at the border between Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty in the north.
She has been seen everywhere. After I heard the news, I immediately sent someone to investigate, but the woman has disappeared since then."
"The junction of Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty? Isn't it the territory of Prince Bao?" Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, his mind was shaken, and he stood up suddenly, "Have you checked the Red Flower Club?"
Everyone was stunned, weren't they checking for traces of some woman? Why did they involve the Red Flower Club?
Sensing the strange looks in his eyes, Murong Fu realized that he had lost his composure, and slowly sat down again, but he was extremely anxious. Others didn't know, but he knew that Caris and the president of the Red Flower Club
The helmsman Chen Jialuo has some fate, and if Prince Bao is allowed to see Caris, he will definitely not let it go.
"Humph, Prince Bao! If Caris is really in your hands, I will definitely tell you to annihilate your descendants!" Murong Fu thought fiercely in his heart, and his face involuntarily darkened.
Seeing Murong Fu's appearance, Li Mochou hurriedly said, "Master, don't worry, I will go and investigate in person immediately."
"No need!" Murong Fu waved his hand, "I'll go there myself."
"Master..." Li Mochou's heart trembled, "This disciple is guilty, please master, please punish me!"
"Punishment?" Murong Fu glanced at Li Mochou intently, looking straight at her Xiafei's cheeks, then turned his gaze and murmured in a low voice, "You must be punished. If you don't do things well, I won't spank you."
!”
His voice was very low, and he used the method of transmitting the sound into the secret. Only Li Mochou heard it clearly. For a moment, he almost fainted with shame. A few years ago, Li Mochou was disobedient.
When she was young, Murong Fu would indeed hit her in that embarrassing place with his palm.
But this happened many years ago. At that time, Murong Fu was still young and didn't think it was anything, but now...
Thinking of the shame, Li Mochou felt that her body was starting to feel weak.
Murong Fu ignored Li Mochou and pondered for a while, then said to Huo Qingtong, "Don't be anxious Qingtong, I will find Karis. If anyone dares to hurt her, I will make that person regret coming into this world.
"
Even so, the worry in Huo Qingtong's heart has not diminished at all. After all, blood is thicker than water, so it can't be ignored with just a few words. However, her expression improved a bit, remembering what Murong Fu had just asked.
, replied hurriedly, "Master Qi, Tianxuan Army has currently recruited 30,000 people, and its organization is basically complete. With the cooperative training of war horses, it has formed combat strength and can go to the battlefield at any time."
A trace of disappointment flashed across Murong Fu's face. He originally thought that after three months, there would be an army of 100,000. After all, in this troubled world, the most indispensable thing is people, and the treatment given by Tianxuan Army is extremely high.
, it stands to reason that it should not be difficult to recruit a hundred thousand troops in three months.
Huo Qingtong saw what Murong Fu was thinking, and immediately explained slowly, "Young master, I don't know. Although it is simple to recruit troops and horses, it is quite difficult because we are doing it in secret. Secondly, cavalry requires elites."
It’s not much more expensive, and those who can be selected by the Tianxuan Army are only one out of ten young adults with a certain talent or foundation in riding and shooting, which greatly slows down the speed of building a new army.”
"But Qingtong can guarantee that as long as there are three more months, the Tianxuan Army's combat power will not lose to the Tianshu Army and the Shenlong Army."
"Ahem," Bao BuTong coughed twice and quietly glanced at Deng Baichuan in front of him.
Although Deng Baichuan was unsmiling, when his majesty was being challenged, he still stood up, glanced at Huo Qingtong lightly, and said, "General Qingtong is a woman who is not inferior to men. It is really admirable, but General Qingtong said that the army will be marched in March."
The Tianxuan Army can compete with the Tianshu Army, but this is hard to agree with."
When it came to leading troops to fight, Huo Qingtong's eyebrows immediately lit up, he was full of confidence, smiled slightly, and said, "General Deng's words are wrong. The strength of an army is not constant based on time. If this is the case, what will happen in the world?"
The armies don’t have to fight anymore, they just need to draw each other out and calculate each other’s founding time to know the winner or lose?”
"Hahaha……"
"Pfft..."
For a moment, everyone couldn't help laughing. Deng Baichuan's face turned red from holding back. He was always serious and not good at arguing, so naturally he couldn't find anything to say to refute Huo Qingtong's words.
"Qingtong, don't be rude to Brother Deng!" Murong Fu shouted at Huo Qingtong in a fierce voice. Although everyone could not see the expression on his face clearly, the smile in his eyes could not be concealed.
.
Huo Qingtong seemed to realize that what he said had gone too far, and immediately saluted Deng Baichuan, "I'm sorry, Qingtong's words were inappropriate. Please forgive me, Brother Deng."
As soon as Deng Baichuan heard the words "I'm sorry", the little grievance in his heart was long gone. How could he still argue with Huo Qingtong? He laughed and said, "General Qingtong is straightforward and straightforward. He is a hero among women. If Deng is careless
Okay, doesn’t it look like Deng has a small belly and is not as good as a woman, but..."
The topic changed, but he said, "On paper, we have fallen behind after all. How about we pick a day and select a hundred of the best from each army to have a test. What does General Qingtong think?"
It can be seen that although he does not care about Huo Qingtong's rudeness, he still cares about the sentence that Tianxuan Army can be compared with Tianshu Army.
Huo Qingtong pursed her lips and smiled. Originally, she wanted to say that only fifty was enough, but in this case, she seemed too sharp, so she simply nodded and agreed.
Murong Fu watched this scene quietly with a noncommittal expression. After pondering for a while, he asked Deng Baichuan, "How is the relocation of the army?"
Deng Baichuan hurriedly bowed and said, "Master Qi, the army is too large and difficult to hide. In order to prevent Song Ting from noticing, we dispersed it several times and transferred it to Jiangning Mansion, Jiangnan Road, and Yangzhou. As long as we
If the righteous flag here is raised, 200,000 troops can be gathered in one day to point directly at Lin'an."
Murong Fu nodded. He already had an army of 200,000 in his hands. Although it was not much, he still couldn't help but feel his blood rush and his chest was excited. He stood up suddenly, "Okay!"
Everyone was startled by his roar, but some people who came to this hall for the first time to participate in such a high-level meeting were greatly surprised, such as Fu Minyi from Lingjiu Palace, Ren from Beitian Sword Sect.
Yingying, Shuisheng from Wangwushan, etc.,
Although they knew that Murong Fu was very ambitious, they did not expect that he had secretly stationed 200,000 troops. For a time, it was completely beyond their knowledge.
Murong Fu calmed down the excitement in his heart a little, pondered for a long time, and then said, "Whether we should directly attack Lin'an remains to be discussed. The two hundred thousand troops are still a little less after all. Before starting an attack, we must pay attention to lurking, otherwise there will be dangers."
All previous efforts may be wasted.”
Speaking of this, he looked at Huo Qingtong again, "Qingtong, the Tianxuan army is still too small. This is cavalry, and it is also a rare force. However, we are likely to fight on multiple fronts. By then, one cavalry will definitely not be enough. We need to recruit more people."
At that time, the conditions can be relaxed a little, leaving it to be eliminated on the battlefield in the future."
When Huo Qingtong heard this, he couldn't help but feel cold. Then he realized that Murong Fu actually wanted to train his troops on the battlefield. When recruiting troops, he strictly restricted the conditions because he didn't want the soldiers he brought out to suffer too many casualties.
Murong Fu could understand her thoughts and knew that although she looked cold, she was actually kind-hearted.
After taking a deep look at Huo Qingtong, Murong Fu said meaningfully, "Qingtong, kindness does not lead to soldiers."
"Yes!" Huo Qingtong replied with a serious expression.
"Wang Biao, how is the situation of the Shenlong Army?" Murong Fu turned to look at a young general.
This person was clearly Wang Biao, who had been sent to lurk in the Shenlong Cult since he was a child. He made great contributions in the battle of Shenlong Island and was promoted by Murong Fu to the deputy commander of the Shenlong Army. As for Shi Lang, who was the commander of the Shenlong Army, he did not come this time.
Wang Biao looked shocked and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir, everything is going well with the Shenlong Army. Now it has expanded to 100,000 troops."
"Oh?" Murong Fu frowned slightly. The Shenlong Army was deep in the Liaodong Peninsula. It could threaten Kangxi at the top, and directly point to Lin'an at the bottom. It could send troops to the Jin Kingdom in the west, and it was even not too far from Japan in the east. It could make plans for the future.
.
It can be said that the development of the Shenlong Army was deeply valued by Murong Fu. Unexpectedly, after a few months, the army was only expanded by 100,000. Excluding the tens of thousands of people originally on Shenlong Island, doesn't it mean that the Shenlong Army has not made any progress during this period?
Wang Biao had been staring closely at the changes in Murong Fu's eyes. Seeing the coldness flashing in his eyes, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He hurriedly explained, "Sir, it's not that the Shenlong Army doesn't want to recruit troops, but there are many difficulties in it, which has always restricted it.
The development of the Shenlong Army."
"What's the difficulty?" Murong Fu asked with a frown.
Wang Biao organized his speech and said, "One of the reasons is that the population of Shenlong Island is extremely sparse. If you want to recruit troops, you have to go ashore, which greatly limits the recruitment progress."
Murong Fu nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"Secondly, the Golden Snake Battalion seemed to intend to suppress the Shenlong Army. Whenever we went to the shore to recruit troops, we were either noticed by the government or troubled by people in the Jianghu. Later, after investigation, we found out that all this was done by the Golden Snake Battalion.
.”
"How dare Jin Snake Camp do this?" Murong Fu frowned slightly, and was secretly angry in his heart. You Yuan Chengzhi actually gave me a blow, hmph, I will take care of you when I go north this time.
With this thought in his mind, Wang Biao continued, "This matter is absolutely true. My subordinates have reported this matter to General Shi Lang several times, but General Shi Lang doesn't seem to pay much attention to it."
"Thirdly, the Shenlong Army's military pay has begun to be stretched."
When he said the last sentence, Wang Biao's voice had become much softer, and it was not difficult to tell that he was already resentful.
Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that the Tianshu Army and the Tianxuan Army were supported by Tianxialou's generous money and food. They never had to worry about military pay. However, when the Shenlong Army was first established, Murong Fu only wanted to rely on the island.
The weapons workshops and shipyards on board were self-sufficient, so no different orders were given to Bao.
Now it seems that it is difficult to raise an army just by selling some inferior weapons.
"I know about this matter. After a long-term discussion, I will allocate money and food to the Shenlong Army." Murong Fu pondered for a while and then said.
