"Can't afford it?" Liu Zhang looked at Qin Mi and said suspiciously, when did Yizhou become so poor? Their land of abundance was not just a rumor. There has been no large-scale war for so many years and they have been saving silently. How can they continue to save money?
I can't even afford a military parade.
To be precise, in Liu Zhang's impression, since his father took over as the shepherd of Yizhou, Yizhou has always been in a peaceful state. Even if there was a war against Sun Ce, there was no loss to the local area. Between Sichuan and Shu Tianfu,
The annual tax revenue is steadily gathered in my hands, so why do I suddenly run out of money?
"Last year, and the year before that, we carried out large-scale operations, successfully absorbed the Southern Barbarians, and forced the surrender of more than ten countries. After that, you asked us to build roads everywhere. Although there is still some savings in the treasury, General Yan said that
We need to recruit veterans who fought last year to conduct deeper training and improve the quality of the soldiers." Qin Mi had an expression that said I would not bear the blame.
"I'll do the math." Although Liu Zhang said he didn't care about anything, Yizhou's annual tax revenue would still pass the target. After all, he used to want to be a local rich man. It's better now, but it's not much better. Money and other things are often lost.
Still care about it.
Liu Zhang calculated quickly. After all, he didn't need too precise data. He just had a general feeling about why the money was gone. As for who among them was embezzled and how much was embezzled, Liu Zhang couldn't feel it this way.
.
However, Liu Zhang said that he didn't care. As long as there was no problem with the big data, there was a little corruption and so on. Seeing that everyone did a good job last year, Liu Zhang made a big splash in front of all the princes. If Liu Zhang said he was greedy, just be greedy. He was
So generous.
Even if you are greedy again this year, as long as I can be in the limelight again, Liu Zhang said that this is not a problem at all, money or something, anyway, it is just tax money, it is really spent, and it has nothing to do with Liu Zhang. After all, it is really
In other words, taxes belong to the state.
"Lord, have you done the calculation?" Qin Mi lowered his head and asked. He was sure that Liu Zhang couldn't calculate it, not to mention relying on his feelings. He couldn't do it even after checking the accounts. After all, it was Zhang Su who did the calculations.
The purpose was to prevent Liu Zhang from spending money recklessly.
Well, the slogan is to prevent Liu Zhang from spending money indiscriminately. In fact, Zhang Su, Zhang Song, and Du Ji made false accounts and misappropriated all the money for military expenses. Although it has not been spent yet, after the fight,
This group of people has been working hard to strengthen their military strength since last year.
These people work together to deceive the superiors and deceive the inferiors. To find out by checking the accounts, at least a guy of Liu Ba's level is needed. As for Liu Zhang, save the money. If Liu Zhang has such ability, he must be replaced.
"Ahem, cough, cough, there's probably nothing wrong with it, but if it costs so fast, there must be a rat." Liu Zhang coughed twice and felt that there was no big problem, but he still said unhappily.
After all, there was no money, so it was a bit too much to affect his mood, especially since Liu Zhang wanted to hold a big military parade to intimidate Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, but unfortunately, he couldn't go on without money.
"Then, Lord, do you mean a military parade, or do you want to continue investing the little money left in the elite purge that General Yan is currently doing." Qin Mi leaned forward and asked.
Liu Zhang felt deeply heartbroken and his face twitched for a long time. Finally, he gave up the military parade plan and collapsed in his position like a deflated balloon. It was obvious that he was very disappointed.
Liu Zhang, who had been lost for a long time and was paralyzed, finally swelled up after a while, jumped up from his armchair and angrily said, "Tell Yan Yan, if you can't train me to train an elite force, then go to the southwest."
Go and quell the chaos! I don’t raise useless people under my command!”
Qin Mi scratched his cheek, knowing that this was because his lord was short of money and could not let himself be in the limelight. He was so angry. Under normal circumstances, Yan Yan would be in front of Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang respected him very much. After all, if you want to rely on Zhong, Liu Zhang relied on Zhong Yan very much.
Yan.
Qin Mi nodded silently, but did not answer. Anyway, he did not say this. Yan Yan was cautious and was considered a famous commander in Sichuan and Shu. Moreover, he once accomplished such a major event as chariot-flying Sun Ce and wiping out dozens of countries in the southwest. He was also known as a commander in the Central Plains.
He will not commit suicide if he is a commander-in-chief with a high rank.
"Liu Taiwei is indeed very impressive." Liu Quan said with admiration as he looked at the soldiers in black armor who had finished changing their uniforms.
"That's all. You didn't participate in the military parade. There were 400,000 soldiers. I don't even know where these armors came from. And look at the materials used. They are very honest. I'm afraid the armor cost no less than 150,000.
Money." Yan Yan said with some admiration.
"These people are the warriors we selected from the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who have seen blood?" Deng Xian frowned and said, "Why do I feel that there are more Southern barbarians among them?"
"It doesn't matter whether they are Nanbarbarians, Banchen barbarians, or other barbarians, as long as they are qualified soldiers." Yan Yan said indifferently, "I spent more than half a year selecting them from among millions of men in Yizhou.
The best soldiers."
"It does seem like the same thing, but it's mainly veterans who have fought several battles in the southwest and fought against Kushan, right?" Wu Lan asked.
"Eighty percent of them come from those, and the others should be selected from among the millions of men in Yizhou, Sichuan. After all, there is a big difference in mental outlook between those who have seen blood and those who have not." Lei Tong said, "
And in order to select this group of people, we have already paid a heavy price!"
"Painful?" Yan Yan sneered and said, "You don't understand the difference between elite soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers. I have always wanted an elite composed of pure elite soldiers, and with 20,000 armors, 20,000 soldiers,
It’s very possible to achieve my goal.”
"Twenty thousand soldiers, as long as they are well trained, they are indeed very powerful elites from any angle." Wu Lan praised, "Liu Taiwei is indeed more generous than we imagined."
In fact, the first set of armor given to Liu Zhang was only 10,000 sets. Later, Liu Bei learned about the situation in Guishang, and the two sides exchanged letters. Liu Zhang showed his strong will, which moved Liu Bei deeply, so he asked about the armor reserves of the soldiers in the field.
He measured the amount and allocated another 10,000 yuan to Liu Zhang.
Of course, the most important point here is that last year, Liu Zhang's leadership was too good. Although this guy has a soft personality, his strong achievements can support the body of a timid person, and Liu Zhang is like this.
Therefore, although Liu Bei felt that Liu Zhang's character seemed to have some flaws, he did not feel that Liu Zhang was unreliable. Even because Liu Zhang conquered dozens of countries in the southwest and accepted him as a vassal, Liu Bei also felt that Liu Zhang could still be relied upon when necessary.
Under this series of misunderstandings, Liu Zhang replied in the letter that as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, it was my duty to expand the territory, and it was my duty to defend the territory. Liu Bei felt that he could not let his brothers look down upon him, so he gave another 10,000 yuan.
The armor went over to help Liu Zhang arm himself.
To be honest, let alone Liu Bei being fooled by Liu Zhang's performance, even Cao Cao felt that although Liu Zhang's character was weak, he still had the magnanimity that a Han clan clan member should have. This was why everyone let Zhang Lu go and waited for Liu Zhang to take care of himself.
Big reason for the mess.
Different from the original historical titles of Liu Zhang, who was weak and a land-guarding dog, in this life Liu Zhang finally lived up to his character. Cao Sun and Liu San's family saw Liu Zhang as a human being, and they were basically like that. Although Liu Zhang had a weak character, the key was
It's still relatively reliable...
As for whether it is true or false, let’s see Liu Zhang’s reaction after the Kushan army came from the Ganges Plain.
"Take a look and train according to this." Yan Yan took out a roll of bamboo slips and handed it to Deng Xian and others and said, "Yizhou, Sichuan and Shu is not suitable for cavalry, and pure infantry, so far, is very rare to be invincible.
, these are the only ones that can be used as reference.”
"This method of military training evolved from the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty, right?" Deng Xian and others asked after reading it roughly, "It feels like there are traces of the Jianghou of the Han Dynasty and the Northern Army. It seems that there are also traces of them.
Some other traces..."
"Well, this is the military manual that my lord obtained from General Huangfu. Someone in the pre-Qin Dynasty revised the military training method and strengthened it a bit. The pre-Han Jianghou also reformed the system, and the Northern Army did use this kind of military training.
There will be four more people, and finally it will be completed by the old general Huangfu." Yan Yan explained.
Wei Wuzu is indeed very strong, but the traces of Wu Qi on his body are too heavy. Ordinary generals don't pay attention to this, but there are many big ones who came from the Han Dynasty and later from the Han Dynasty. If you don't like it, you can change it. In the end, it was in Huangfu Song's hands.
, it was suddenly changed beyond recognition.
What's even worse is that, despite being completely changed, Huangfu Song also carried out an overhaul, eliminating all the aspects of the military training method that he found dissatisfying, and finally created his own elite. In short, this military training method given to Liu Zhang,
There are eight methods of training in total.
Among them, Huangfu Song clearly outlined above that he can train elites, that is, Anxi. There are four so-called double-talented super-elite troops in Rome. The oldest is Wu Qi's military training method, the early Han Jianghou's military training method, and the later Han Dynasty's Northern Army.
Training methods, as well as Huangfu Song's own training methods.
Of course, these methods will have an unavoidable point in the end, and that is the battle on the battlefield. Convert all the training into the battle on the battlefield. If you pass it, you will achieve success. If you cannot pass it, there will be only a dead end.
However, in exchange, this level of military training methods has strong personal traces. This is also an important reason why Huangfu Song gave the other four methods together, because although the other four military training methods cannot achieve the so-called super elite
, but the personal traces are relatively light, and it is impossible to say that someone can use this to find their own path.
By the way, Huangfu Song's gift was received by all the princes in the world, and even the three major princes received samples, including the 500-strong Wei Wuzu, Xiliu Camp, the five schools of the Northern Army, and Huangfu Song himself.
