In 1918, the family lost, and the landlord's family had no surplus.
There have been constant wars in Dongling in the past two years. Although Dongling has no shortage of famous generals, there is no shortage in other countries. Most of the wars involve beating people. After successive wars, Dongling has lost countless soldiers and horses. The order to recruit troops was completely out of control.
only……
"Your Majesty, the treasury is out of money."
"Your Majesty, we can't spend time like this anymore."
"Your Majesty, the supply of iron ore is no longer available.
"Your Majesty, Master Yuwen from the Ministry of War is here to ask for money again."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Uncle Nine Emperors treated his soldiers extremely well. After death or disability, the court would give them generous pensions, which would keep them hungry for the rest of their lives. Veterans who stayed in the army, as their years increased, their salaries also increased...
As soon as the conscription order was issued, people from all over the country responded. On the first day, the number of people registered reached 70,000. If the selection was not strict, it would definitely exceed 100,000.
With so many people having to eat and drink every day, where can they raise money?
One stroke from the left, one stroke from the right, boxes and boxes of silver from the treasury were carried out. Each payment was a huge expenditure. The gold, silver and jewelry snatched back from Chucheng and Beiling could not afford to spend like this, let alone
The Nine Emperors Uncle also has extremely high requirements for logistics. Weapons and armor must be of real quality. The soldiers have three meals a day to keep them fed and have meat.
"This, this is not raising soldiers, this is raising uncles." Soldiers from any country in the Four Kingdoms and Nine Cities can only be fed when they go to the battlefield. Normally, as long as they don't starve to death, it's fine. But Uncle Nine Emperors not only feeds them, but also provides them with food.
Eat meat.
The civil servants were very dissatisfied, but when they saw the high-intensity training that Uncle Nine Emperors had given to the soldiers, they knew that if they didn't have enough to eat, they wouldn't have the energy to complete it, so they didn't dare to be harsh on the food and grass.
"Your Majesty, the money that comes into the national treasury every year is not enough to cover the expenses of the military, not to mention the salaries of hundreds of officials and the construction and protection of river embankments." Wang Jinling couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to find the Nine Emperors Uncle and let him save the money.
Put some flowers.
No matter how rich Dongling is, it can't afford Jiuhuangshu's spending.
Wang Jinling knew what Uncle Nine Emperors was going to do and why he attached great importance to the military, but he could not delay other matters because of this. If there was internal instability, no matter how strong the army was, it would be useless.
The rainy season is coming soon, and river repair requires a large amount of money. This money cannot be withheld, otherwise hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the river, as well as crops, will all be flooded.
If Uncle Nine Emperors continues to spend like this, they won't even have the money to build rivers this year, let alone the salaries of hundreds of officials.
"Follow my orders, and you don't have to worry about the money." Uncle Nine Emperors gave Wang Jinling some reassurance, and added: "Within two years, the new soldiers I want to recruit will be able to go to the battlefield."
The death rate of new recruits on the battlefield was extremely high. In order to reduce the death rate, Uncle Nine Emperors stole lessons from Feng Qingchen and conducted rigorous training for the new recruits in advance. He hoped that they could achieve what Feng Qingchen said. Sweat more in peacetime and in wartime.
Less bleeding.
Dongling also had a training system for new recruits in the past, but it was not so strict. It usually only lasted for three to five months, so that they could understand orders and know simple killing moves, and then they were brought to the battlefield and then trained on the battlefield.
On the battlefield, many new soldiers were beheaded before their swords were drawn out because they saw blood for the first time.
Dongling has a limited population, and has suffered heavy losses in soldiers in the past two years. The one-million-strong army is only in vain, and Tangling cannot muster a million-strong army. For the next battle, Uncle Nine Emperors must recruit and train new soldiers.
"I will tell Yuwen Yuanhua." Wang Jinling knew that persuasion was useless, so he could only do his best.
As for the Nine Emperors Uncle's guarantee, Wang Jinling has no doubt that the treasure from the previous dynasty may be in the Nine Emperors Uncle's hands!
Of course, not everyone in this world is as transparent as Wang Jinling. The emperors and city lords of the Six Cities of the Three Kingdoms are still relentlessly pursuing the Palace of Hundred Ghosts and staring at Liancheng, intending to find out from these two forces that are closest to the previous dynasty.
Find out the whereabouts of the treasure before leaving.
As for the mother of the former princess in the legend of Nine Emperors Uncle?
Please... don't say that this rumor may not be true. Even if it is true, so what. Jiuhuangshu himself has just met his mother. His mother is now the Empress Dowager of Dongling. Even if she wants to help, she will help Jiuhuangshu.
The emperors of the Three Kingdoms are very busy... They have to deal with internal affairs, discuss plans to deal with Liancheng and Baigui Palace. They have to think about the regulations for dealing with Uncle Nine Emperors and Feng Qingchen, but no matter how busy they are, they will not ignore the Dongling conscription.
The Dongling conscription was a big or small matter. Once Dongling's military strength increased too fast, it would threaten their rule. The emperors of the Three Kingdoms had to put aside other matters and send envoys to Dongling to strongly demand that Dongling stop conscription.
The number of troops stationed in Dongling is already the largest among the four countries. If it continues to increase, none of the three countries will have to live.
"Chu City, Tai City, and Ye City will be merged into Dongling. The increase in Dongling's territory will naturally increase the number of troops." Uncle Nine Emperors replied happily, but this answer almost made the Emperor of the Three Kingdoms angry to death.
In fact, the emperor of Beiling did get aggravated by this and was in a coma for several days. The interior of Beiling was in chaos, and he probably had no intention of paying attention to the matters of Uncle Nine Emperors and Feng Qingchen in a short period of time.
Xiling Tianyu was originally just joining in the fun, with Beiling and Nanling taking the lead, and he would follow behind and chime in with a few words. But when the matter of sending troops was mentioned, Xiling Tianyu remained silent, and was forced to panic, so he dismissed Nanling and Beiling with civil strife.
Civil strife had just broken out in Xiling, and the internal affairs had not calmed down yet, so he could not spare the energy to attack Dongling. Most importantly, he was afraid that if he sent troops to Dongling, the eldest princess would be attacked from behind, and then she would be attacked in the abdomen.
Even though the eldest princess of Xiling has repeatedly promised that she will not send troops to attack Xiling at this time, Xiling Tianyu also refuses to send troops: "One disloyalty will not be tolerated a hundred times. Even if you are a traitor, are you worthy of my trust?"
As for the opinion of Emperor Xiling?
A word from the ministers of Xiling: "Your Majesty is not in good health, so you don't need to worry about such trivial matters. Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here, so you only need to take good care of your body."
Nanling was unable to stand alone, and the eldest princess jumped up and down but no one agreed. She wanted to send troops with Nanling, but she had the same idea as Xiling Tianyu, and was afraid that when she sent troops to Dongling, the backyard would catch fire.
Not to mention Liancheng and Baigui Palace. They are closely watched by cities from all over the world and cannot protect themselves. How can they dare to take advantage of Uncle Nine Emperors?
"Have you guessed a long time ago that Beiling, Nanling and Xiling can't join forces?" Feng Qingchen rested on Uncle Nine Emperor's lap, squinting and enjoying the baptism of sunshine.
Since that night, after she talked things through clearly, her relationship with Uncle Nine Emperors has gotten closer. She has put aside her doubts and the two of them have been more casual together, mainly because Feng Qingchen no longer thinks nonsense.
There is no point in rehabilitating the past. The most urgent task is to join forces to destroy Xiling, Nanling and Beiling first...
