Chapter 307

That afternoon, the empress summoned the people in the court to discuss the matter. The reaction of the people was more intense and tough than that of the empress.

On the spot, someone wanted to pull Gu Zicheng up and cut him to worship the heaven, and then sent troops to Daxia.

As for how the seven princes of Daxia died and who killed them, they ignored them.

Everyone has one idea. I haven't bothered you yet. How dare you bother me? If you want to fight, are you afraid you won't succeed? Just go to the summer and loot.

Shi Qing and Kou Zhehai, who are more mature and prudent, are just smoothing their beards and silent.

"Do you have anything to say?" The female emperor saw the reaction of the people below, which was not beyond her expectation.

This reaction was taken for granted by the ancient people.

Who has a big fist is the boss. Between the two countries, defense is the only thing for the weak.

"The old minister felt that he should remind the northern capital guard, the Northeast capital guard and the southeast capital guard, especially the Northeast southeast capital guard. The old minister was afraid that there would be changes in the state of Yun and the state of Chen, so he should be on guard at all times.

There is also salt. I'm afraid that after the war, there will be a great reduction in the number of merchants from the two countries of Yunnan and Chen transporting salt. I'm afraid salt is a big problem. Life on the mountain will be even harder. " Shi Qing said in a deep voice.

The empress nodded slightly after listening.

Salt is really a big problem.

After the war, the commercial transportation will certainly be affected. At that time, I'm afraid the amount of salt transported into Dayao will be greatly reduced.

Now let's see how Ren 8000 will go to the mountains after a while.

"Your Majesty, the important minister said that it's better to start first than take precautions. Go directly to the state of cloud and occupy the salt farm. The matter of salt will be solved naturally. If it's not good, you can rob it. There can't be a lack of salt in the city of the state of cloud?" Someone answered immediately. " Qin Chuan stepped forward and said.

After hearing this, the empress did not say a word. There was no problem for 15000 people to block the cloud country, but it was impossible to break through the cloud country.

However, there is a great possibility of success in seizing the city of Cloud State and robbing some iron and salt.

Of course, the price is equally high. At that time, it must be attacked by Yun state and Da Xia state.

At the same time, it is difficult to start a war on the two fronts, even if it is powerful.

According to the city, defense and attack are completely different.

"How's the recruitment?" The empress turned and asked.

"Your Majesty, the recruitment of recruits has been completed. A total of 20000 people have just entered the camp. The training of recruits has just begun, and it will take at least more than half a year. However, I'm afraid the weapons and equipment are insufficient. Rats can run in the arsenal. The last materials were transported to the northern capital guard two months ago."

The female emperor nodded: "train with a wooden knife first."

Then he asked Xiang Fenghou about ordnance making.

Speaking of this, Fenghou looks happy. Now Damo mountain produces nearly 10000 kg of iron every day. Now it has produced 600000 kg of iron in less than three months, and can make 30000 weapons.

Nowadays, there are a lot of iron ingots sent to Jingtian stove every half a month. However, at this time, the weapons are made by beating the impurities repeatedly, and then adding animal blood to change the composition of the long Sabre to make it have the characteristics of a certain alloy. A good teacher can only make three standard long sabres a day.

There are more than 20 good teachers in Jingtian stove, and some ordinary craftsmen can only produce 100 weapons a day.

Now there are about 3000 standard long knives piled up in Jingtian stove.

This number has made Fenghou overjoyed.

After he said it, people were also surprised. They didn't expect that so many weapons had been forged in the past two months.

Then everyone looked happy.

At this rate, as long as we have more than two months, we can first equip 10000 troops.

You know, there were only 90000 troops before the ancient people.

With the combat power of the ancient people, 10000 warriors can be used as 100000 troops of the other three countries.

The female emperor nodded: "can it be faster?"

The wind throat thought and said, "up to 150 a day."

In this way, 4500 long knives can be made every month, and everyone in the court is satisfied.

However, the female emperor still felt some shortcomings.

Although she didn't say anything about Qin Chuan's words just now, it really moved her.

Dayao lacks too many things.

Especially as Ren 8000 went to the earth for so long, he felt more and more that Dayao was short of all kinds of resources. In particular, to develop to the earth, we need not only knowledge, but also various resources.

Not only salt, but also iron, copper and various metal resources.

And a lot of human and material resources.

She wants to build a new city. What if she has no money and no one? She wants to build roads. What if no one has money? The Imperial Palace's internal storehouse is empty. Ren 8000's cultivation can last more than a month. What if he doesn't have money?

Ren 8000 also thought about the same problem, but Ren 8000 thought about it through commercial means.

The idea of the female emperor is more direct.

Grab!

No one? The army of the cloud Kingdom and the civilians are all human! Ren 8000 mentioned when chatting that it's best to build roads with those people as coolies.

Although the Female Emperor didn't speak at that time, she wrote it down.

No money? You'll be rich if you beat the cloud country.

To take down the cloud kingdom is not to run away like before, but to occupy the whole cloud kingdom.

As for how to manage after being laid down, that is what will happen in the future.

Isn't there another 8000?

Let him find a way.

There are more than 50 nationalities in their country. He knows what to do.

However, if you want to fight down the cloud country, the current army is definitely not enough. Twenty thousand more is not enough.

The female emperor was a little distracted on Jin Luan for a while. Tong Zhenye took two steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, governor Ren may have a way to deal with weapons. Governor Ren once said that there is something that can turn iron into steel. You can make weapons directly without repeated forging..."

Tongzhenye's words brought back the female emperor's thinking.

"I see. I'll ask him later." The empress opened her mouth and was silent, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

Seeing the empress's expression, everyone kept silent and waited for the empress to speak.

"You said, how many troops do you need to defeat the cloud Kingdom and bring the cloud kingdom into our Dayao?" The female emperor said.

The atmosphere in the whole hall suddenly solidified.

People didn't expect that your Majesty would say such words at this time, but they said it seriously.

Your majesty, are you serious?

"Your Majesty, you need to add 60000 troops to 20000 recruits." Qin Chuan immediately said in a loud voice. From his reaction speed, we know that he hasn't had this idea for a day or two. Otherwise, I'm afraid he'll have to break his fingers for a while.

"I have long thought that the state of cloud has a total of 400000 troops. If we fight, we will continue to recruit troops. With the strength of the state of cloud, we should be able to reach 700000 or more. It takes at least 60000 troops to fight all the way to the East China Sea to win the state of cloud. After entering the state of cloud, Daxia and the state of Chen will not sit idly by, and the military line is elongated, which is vulnerable to attacks from all sides. At least 20000 troops are needed..."

The front line is drawn to the territory of cloud state, and it involves not a bit of everything.

"Get ready to recruit another 20000 recruits!" The female emperor said.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan immediately looked excited.

"Your Majesty... If you recruit another 20000 recruits, I'm afraid they can't supply food and pay. Now these 20000 recruits are the maximum." Hubu Shangshu Tuwan came forward immediately.

The female emperor pressed her chin with her index finger: "military pay, in the cloud country, is waiting for my great warrior to get it. As for food..."

……

In the afternoon of that day, the temple discussed until the evening. When the female emperor told Ren 8000 some of the things discussed during the meal, Ren 8000 immediately looked confused and forced.

What happened? I was still preparing for the summer attack. Why did I hit the cloud country again?

And so many people in the court had a heated discussion all afternoon?

And basically passed?

How willful are you? How strange are brain circuits?

After half a ring, Ren 8000 asked with a sad face: "Your Majesty, are you serious?"

The female emperor wiped her mouth, raised her head and gave him a white eye, "Dayao is short of iron. Even if the daily output of damoshan iron mine is nearly 10000 kg, it is still very short according to your words. Especially to develop into your world, it needs not enough resources, even if damoshan is hollowed out.

Dayao is short of iron, and there are many iron mines in Yunguo.

Dayao is short of money, and there are many cloud countries.

Dayao lacks craftsmen, and there are many cloud countries.

Dayao is short of labor. Cloud country is everywhere.

We have everything we want in cloud country, so why not fight down?

As for the military strength, there are countless warriors in the 60000 mountains, but what is lacking is other things.

So now we have to consider the problem of insufficient weapons and food. Then you are responsible for considering how to make the cloud people honest. What other questions? "

Ren 8000:

Your majesty, you have evolved from buying to robbing.

I always felt that the war was far away from me, even if I knew that the summer would not come at any time. But the development of this day caught Ren 8000 unprepared. At the same time, he also found that war was far from as far away as he thought for the world.

And Dayao is really not as short of labor as your majesty thinks. There are more than 10 million Hao survivors in the south to provide for the elderly.

"Your Majesty, why not the state of Chen? The state of Chen is in the south of the state of Yun. It is located in a corner. It is only adjacent to the state of Yun. It seems that it is more suitable than the state of Yun of Daxia and the state of Chen." Ren 8000 said curiously.

"Chen does not have as many resources as Yunguo, and there are too many waterways and rivers everywhere. In many places, as long as they break the bridge, we will be delayed for a long time. Even if they occupy it, there will be more trouble, but it is not as flat as Yunguo."

Ren 8000 knew it. Then he thumbed up and praised the female emperor: "Your Majesty is really considerate. When others are still thinking about the summer, your majesty has thought of poetry and distance, and made plans for the future, so that Dayao's pace of progress can be accelerated and accelerated again, which has laid a deep foundation for quickly entering the era of science and technology. It is beyond people's reach to be thoughtful..."

The female emperor nodded with approval on her face.

Smile like flowers.
