3997. Chapter 3997 The general trend has come [03]
Concubine Dai immediately said: "If we don't go to the capital, we can capture the Daizhou Prefecture. Those bastard officials don't make decisions for the people anyway. If you capture them, you can control the whole state and prevent them from being afraid of you."
, we must find a way to jointly deal with you when the time comes."
Xiao Xian said: "Of course we are not afraid. We have always been prepared. We will not attack Daizhou Prefecture now."
Concubine Dai's eyes lit up, "If we don't attack Daizhou Prefecture, will the navy be busy? I heard they said you are building a navy."
Xiao Xian's face was expressionless, "There is no navy, it's just for trade. You can go out to sea to find other islands where you can settle."
Concubine Dai snorted.
She knew that Xiao Xian didn't tell her the truth, but it didn't matter, the days were long, and after waiting for so many years, she would definitely find the opportunity.
"No matter what, you also give me a force. If you don't do it for me, I will try my best to do it myself." Concubine Dai began to make requests. She felt that she had no one who could give orders here in Daizhou and it was difficult to move everywhere.
Xiao Xian frowned, "Whatever you want to do, just let the servants do it. The soldiers and horses are not ours. They are all for protecting the people of Daizhou. If there is no war and it is not part of the training, they do not have to be responsible."
This is equivalent to saying that those soldiers belong to Daizhou and are not owned by Xiao Xian.
Concubine Dai didn't understand very much and wondered: "You don't have private soldiers? Don't you have any servants?"
People nowadays like to raise private soldiers, called servants. If you raise servants, they are your own soldiers. These are beyond the control of the emperor.
Back then, the emperor allowed Xiao Xian a quota of 5,000 soldiers, which were private soldiers. Generally speaking, private soldiers would have stronger combat effectiveness, because they were the force they relied on to save their lives.
Therefore, people will make great efforts to build their own strong private soldiers.
But Xiao Xian didn't do this in Daizhou. He felt that if he had private soldiers, he would be treated differently, which would dampen the enthusiasm of other soldiers, so he didn't want to have private soldiers himself.
As Shen Mingzhu said, if there are no private soldiers, then the entire Daizhou soldiers are his private soldiers. All soldiers under his command can become his private soldiers, listen to his orders and work for him.
This is much more useful than private soldiers. As long as everyone's interests are consistent and everyone will sacrifice their lives to protect the hard-won good life.
Now that Concubine Dai is talking about private soldiers, Xiao Xian will naturally not let her have that idea, let alone command it alone, which is impossible.
Concubine Dai looked at them dissatisfied, "I don't think you regard me as your biological mother at all."
Shen Mingzhu thought: You just realized it.
Xiao Xian said calmly: "Even if you are my biological mother, it is impossible for me to give up on Daizhou's principles. Please be considerate. If you feel bored, you can handle the housework with your mother."
A mother considers her son and arranges things in the back house. Isn't this what mothers all over the world are happy to do?
Princess Di looks a little strange.
Concubine Dai originally came to threaten Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu, hoping to gain more power. Who knew that Xiao Xian would not give in at all, and she had no choice for a while.
Concubine Dai had no choice but to go back first and find another way.
After she left, Shen Mingzhu stared at her back for a while and sighed.
Xiao Xian was also a little helpless, "He is really a difficult person to deal with. I'm afraid Mingzhu will suffer some injustice."
