Chapter 641

Huangfu Chaobo immediately changed the topic and said, "come on, get a kerchief for general Zhou. That, Youping, you should dry the water stains on your face first. I'll have a good look at the plan for the expansion of the water army first, and then discuss it with everyone, and then determine the final result. OK?"

Huangfu Chaobo handed the towel to Zhou Tai, and then took over his plan to expand the army. He said: "tomorrow, Japan will gather people to discuss the plan to expand the army of the Navy. Then, you and Gongyi will come to the discussion. That's all for today. You two go back to your residence first, and are ready to think about how to deal with your remarks tomorrow. Is that ok

On hearing this, Zhou Tai and his wife knew that they had failed to find out the water army establishment from Huangfu Chaobo's mouth while Tian Feng and others were away. Fortunately, although it was impossible to achieve their expected goal, at least the expansion of the water army was imperative, so they didn't entangle with each other any more. After they went forward to salute Huangfu Chaobo, they left Pingdong general's house.

However, after leaving, they did not go back to their respective homes. Instead, they went directly to Zhou Tai's home. They knew that tomorrow's plan would definitely be in response to the public's questions. They had to think about how to deal with it. Otherwise, even if the navy was expanded, there would not be a lot of them. Especially with Tian Feng's character, they heard that the establishment of several battalions was decided after a long discussion with Tian Feng and others.

Early the next morning, Zhou Tai and his wife arrived at the general's mansion. Looking at their hurry, Huangfu Chaobo felt helpless and funny. He didn't expect that they were so anxious. He had carefully looked at Zhou Tai's plan for the expansion of the Navy several times last night and had a general plan in mind. However, he still had to listen to these things The idea of the government.

"Two generals, I'm afraid we haven't had breakfast yet?" Huang Fu Chao Bo said to them with a smile;

when they heard this, their faces turned red, and Zhou Tai said: "Lord, the plan of military expansion..."

Huangfu Chaobo waved his hand and said, "well, don't worry about this. Since we have promised to expand the army, we will certainly expand the number. Let's have breakfast first, and then we will discuss it slowly after breakfast." Finish saying, also don't let two people speak again, order to let a person deliver breakfast to come in.

When they heard this, they could not say anything more, so they had to sit down and eat quietly. Huangfu Chaobo ate his breakfast. When he had almost finished his breakfast, he heard that a guard was reporting at the door, and that the members of the shogunate were asking to see him outside. On hearing this, Huangfu Chaobo immediately ordered everyone to come in and finished his breakfast.

Seeing this, Zhou Tai looked at each other and knew that their carefulness had been seen through by their master. It seemed that they could only fight with the shogunate honestly.

A moment later, I heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and then I saw the crowd rushing in, headed by the civil and military personnel headed by Tian Feng and Huang Zhong. As early as last night, everyone received a rumor from Huangfu Chaobo that they were going to discuss the expansion of the navy in the general's mansion today, so everyone rushed to the general's mansion after breakfast.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see the second general of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin sitting in the hall. You don't know what the second general is thinking, and they all smile at each other.

After everyone went to the middle of the hall, they all saluted to Huangfu chaoboji: "the lower Officer (the last general) meets the general (the Lord)!"

"Gentlemen, please come in and sit down!" Huangfu Chaobo nodded and said,

after everyone thanks again, they come to their seats and sit down.

After everyone was seated, Huangfu Chaobo ordered that tea be served. Then he said slowly, "you all know that the purpose of inviting you here today is to discuss the expansion of our state water army. Here is the plan for the expansion of the Navy handed over to our general by the two generals Zhou and Jiang. Let's have a look at it, and then we'll discuss it carefully. "

With a wave of his hand, Huang Fu's soldiers, who had already been ready, handed over several military expansion plans copied out overnight to each of them. Each of them took them and looked at Zhou Tai with a smile. Then he lowered his head and looked at the plan carefully.

Zhou Tai and others nervously scanned the shogunate, hoping to see some clues from their faces. Unfortunately, Huang Zhong and other generals had nothing to do with his plan, and the main resistance came from the civil service. However, there was no change in the faces of Tian Feng and Lou GUI, who were very mature, which made Zhou Tai and others as if they had hidden 25 mice Scratch your heart.

After a while, everyone stopped. Not surprisingly, Tian Feng was the first to speak.

He stepped forward two steps and said to Huangfu Chaobo, "general, the lower officials don't agree with general Zhou's plan for the expansion of the water army. Our state water army now has 12000 water army. If we follow general Zhou's plan, the water army needs to increase to 60000, which is equivalent to an increase of nearly 50000 water army. According to the establishment of the water army, 50000 water army, which needs about 50000 water army ships, is equivalent to an increase of 100000 Every month, the cost of soldiers and civil servants is ten thousand dollars. "

"It's just about personnel and ships. According to the establishment of our state Navy, the ships needed by one school navy are 15000 gold, and the ships needed by eight schools navy are 120000 gold. It's just the cost of buying the ship, and the cost of maintenance every month. Our state is now full of waste, and it needs a lot of capital investment everywhere. It has already spent a huge amount of money to set up three combat troops, but now we still need three water forces. How can we support them? "On hearing this, Zhou Tai got up quickly and said, "Lord Tian, the rivers and waterways in our state are about thousands of miles long. How can our 12000 Navy troops protect them? In addition, we still need Navy troops to escort the trade routes between Youzhou and Luoyang, which makes the Navy even more powerful."

Tian Feng said slowly: "as the general said, rivers and waterways are about thousands of miles long. However, there are Jizhou water army in the east of our state, and there are tens of thousands of Jizhou water army. Who else can break through their defense line and enter our state boundary. In the west, we only need to go to the territory of Hongnong. Besides, there are not many water troops in Dong's army, and our army can keep them. In this way, even if we add the escort water army, in my opinion, the three school water army is enough to protect all parts of our state. "

When Zhou Tai heard this, he was worried. He wanted to add thirty or fifty thousand soldiers. But he didn't expect to go to old man Tian Feng's place and wipe a zero directly. He became thirty or five thousand.
