Twenty thousand soldiers and five thousand horses?!
The several patriarchs were all surprised when they heard this. This number was unexpected and at the same time very unexpected.Unexpectedly, Nangong Yu would be able to come up with so many people. This flagless family has now been fully settled and has less than three establishments. In the coming month, where did so many people come?
In fact, they still greatly underestimated the attractiveness of the flagless family to civilians and vagrant mercenaries. Although the new family has many disadvantages, it also has one advantage, that is, a quick promotion.
It's a bit like a modern company. The old family is equivalent to the old state-owned enterprise. Let your talented young people come in. Don't even think about getting ahead if you don't spend a few years and get the qualifications. The victory is stable. The new family is like a start-up company. It may start with a small salary, but once it succeeds, it can make huge profits. It has plenty of opportunities and motivation, which is equivalent to being your own boss.
Not to mention that Nangong Yu doesn't keep any money at all, and there is no so-called lord's treasury. All the money in the family only does three things, training soldiers and horses, helping civilians, and economic construction.
Under this circumstance, civilians can get good benefits if they work hard, and everyone will naturally do their best to do it. At the same time, the high welfare of joining the army also attracted a large number of young and middle-aged people to join the army, and even some mercenary groups that declared abroad have joined the flagless family, further strengthening the family power.
As for where the money comes from, on the one hand, it is selling food, on the other hand, it relies on Li Hecheng to collect tolls. Of course, these can't be accumulated in the short term, and the biggest source is taxation.
Since the Wuzu family has actually mastered the Hejiandi area, it is naturally no longer necessary to pay taxes to King's Landing, but to the Wuzu family.
For civilians, the tax rate is much lower than before, but for the noble Nangong Shuo, the tax rate has been directly increased by a factor of two. This of course caused the dissatisfaction of many nobles, but when Nangong Yu led his troops to ransack a few of the most murderous homes, others dare not say anything.
The nobles would feel unfair, but Nangong Yu would not. I don't know how much these nobles have exploited the civilians in the past few years.
Take an aristocratic house he copied, for example, it was still a small aristocrat. The place where he lived seemed to be a dilapidated small castle, but more than two hundred thousand golden dragons were found in the cellar!
Among them, it is estimated that 90% are derived from exploitation, because according to the investigation, this nobleman did not manage any profitable business at all, and the whole family went around eating, drinking, and having fun all day long. In this case, how can you tear off such a huge amount of money?
And this is just a little noble who looks inconspicuous. As for those who are slightly larger, I don't know how many golden dragons are hidden in the house. So after this happened, some nobles immediately fled to the south.
For these people who fled, Nangong Yu also intercepted them depending on the situation. Some notorious crimes were all detained, and those who had good reputation were let go.
So after such a toss, at least tens of millions of golden dragons were brought from the hands of these nobles, and the money Nangong Yu himself had not spent a silver deer, all of which was spent on military expenditure and people's livelihood.
Nowadays, there are some songs on the mainland, extolling that the civilian life of Hellenberg is much better than King's Landing. It is a heaven and a hell. Although a bit exaggerated, it also makes sense.
Therefore, in order to repay the family, the common people are more motivated to join the army, and fight for the family and also for their own family to continue to maintain such a life.
So the number of soldiers during this period is almost
It’s an explosive growth. Even if he puts out 20,000 now, Nangong Yu estimates that there will still be 15,000 to prepare, so don’t worry.
At this point, the Iron Throne is too far away.According to the report by the Hawkeye organization, since Geoffrey took the throne, the royal family has become more and more extravagant, and a large number of golden dragons have been used for entertainment. People can control him.
The Royal City Guards are also expanding, but most of them are golden robes wandering around in King's Landing, and when they see suitable young adults, they will force them to join the army, otherwise they will kill.
This also led to a large increase in the military strength of Wang Cheng's guards, but it was a very unstable and large increase. I also heard that in order to avoid being forced into the army, some men deliberately make up as old people, and even wear women's clothes. It's a mess.
As for Lannister, Old Taiwen is recruiting troops and has conducted several military drills jointly with the Rose family. He also knows that the war is about to come.
At this point Nangong Shuo finished speaking, he glanced at the faces of everyone, and said: "I hope you can take it seriously. This is not a joke, so for a hearty victory, enough soldiers are indispensable."
……For flowers………
As soon as these words came out, several families had no choice but to nod their heads and agreed. Now Wuqi, the new family, has so many people. It would be a shame if they couldn't even get half of the old family.
But there is one exception, that is, Luce of the Bolton family. He looked embarrassed. After thinking about it for a while, he hesitated: "Can we Bolton family make less? We can't come up with so many people.
Nangong Yu had foreseen Luce's reaction a long time ago, because he had already figured out the details of Terror Fort, and there were just 10,000 people in the city that could be pulled out to fight.
If you really took out 10,000 people, it would be equivalent to digging out all the old bottoms of the Bolton family. There is no defense in the castle, then they can't stand it.
........0
But Nangong Yu deliberately said that he would cost 10,000 yuan, in order to make Luce object, so other families must have some criticisms. We all take at least ten thousand, so why can you take less?
Let everyone express their dissatisfaction, so as to put pressure on Luce, so that Nangong Yu can better "sell the price".
Sure enough, at this time Luce finished speaking, several patriarchs frowned, Stannis took the lead: "Master Luce, ten thousand people shouldn't be a big deal to Terror Castle, right?"
"What do you know?" Luce immediately retorted when he heard the words, "Our family has not vigorously developed the military, so naturally there are fewer soldiers.
"Hehe, maybe."
"you!"
Nangong Yu saw that the two of them had a tendency to quarrel, and immediately stopped, "Okay, two adults." As he said, he looked at Luce, "Since the Bolton family can't have so many people, then reduce it by two thousand. , Eight thousand.
After speaking, Nangongxiang squinted his eyes and smiled: "Patriarch Lus, this number shouldn't be unavailable anymore, right?"
"Take it.
Luce looked helpless, and a trace of resentment flashed through his eyes. The Bolton family took out these 8,000 people, and there were less than 3,000 people left in the fort. There must be nothing to do.
And the most important thing is that I still lost people at this meeting. After all, no other families have asked for a reduction in the number of people.
