Datang Fenghua Road

Cheng Yaojin suddenly came over and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty really cares about you. Originally, it took us ten days to arrive. His Majesty received a report from Changsun Wuji halfway, saying that you went to Liaodong alone. He was angry and worried, and ordered The whole army accelerated, and the ten-day journey took six days to arrive. Along the way, we ate and drank dew, and many of the people who followed fell ill.”

Han Yue's face was ashamed, and he blamed himself: "Uncle Cheng, don't say anything else, this time, it's my fault."

Cheng Yaojin patted him on the shoulder heavily and said with emotion, "You don't need to blame yourself too much. Although Your Majesty is angry, he doesn't blame you."

Lao Cheng paused for a while when he said this, and suddenly glanced at Han Yue with great meaning, and said in a low voice: "You know, His Majesty once said something, and I and other important ministers were all shocked when they heard it, there has never been an emperor for thousands of years. Said that."

Han Yue was curious and couldn't help asking, "What did your majesty say?"

Cheng Yaojin imitated Li Shimin's tone and said word by word: "I, I would rather lose Jiangshan than give up Jingyang..."

There was a huge shock in Han Yue's mind.

Lao Cheng said meaningfully: "Jun's kindness is like the sea, just like his father."

Han Yue clenched his fists with both hands, only to feel his chest churning and his throat blocked for a while, he resisted being moved, and murmured: "Your Majesty has treated me like this, but I have acted arbitrarily, even trapped in the enemy's army and asked him to come to the rescue and let a small country in Liaodong. The king mocked His Majesty..."

Lao Cheng laughed, patted him on the shoulder again, and said loudly, "Young people must have backbone, and young people must have blood. Today, the King of Goryeo not only mocked His Majesty, but also almost made you commit suicide by the river. You must always remember this matter. live."

"Uncle Cheng, I..."

Lao Cheng waved his hand to interrupt Han Yue, and laughed: "What should you do if you are bullied? Naturally, blood for blood is for a tooth for a tooth. With His Majesty to back you up, and the Tang Dynasty as your backing, what about Liaodong, what about Goguryeo, As long as you give an order, even Uncle Cheng will follow the order..."

He suddenly pulled Han Yue, pointed to the cavalry standing by the river and said loudly: "See, this is the five thousand black armored cavalry given to you by your majesty. There are only thirty thousand black armored cavalry in the Tang Dynasty, but they have been painstakingly developed for many years. Elite. This troop is famous all over the world. It killed Liu Heida and defeated Wang Shichong. The entire Tang Dynasty military commander is proud of commanding this cavalry."

He glanced at Han Yue and said with emotion: "When the Xuanjia soldiers came out, many generals fought for the command. Li Jing has begged your Majesty many times in private, and the old man has also begged many times. What is the final result? Your Majesty gave With our half tiger talisman, the Xuanjia soldiers can command, but they don't listen to the announcement, and the military power has always been in the hands of His Majesty."

Han Yue nodded slowly and pondered: "The black armored cavalry is the elite of the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty must strictly control it, and no one is qualified to use it."

"Wrong!" Cheng Yaojin shouted, pointing at the black armored cavalry: "It's not that anyone can't use it, you are an exception..."

"I?"

"That's right! The Xuanjia 5000 cavalry are divided into six units, each with exactly [-] soldiers. The cavalry in front of you is the most elite of the six units. Your Majesty has smashed the military power tiger talisman. Not bound by His Majesty, but under your command."

There was a huge shock in Han Yue's mind.

He is no longer a rookie who first came to Datang, and he knows what it means for Li Shimin to smash the tiger talisman.

"Han Da Lengzi, your emperor is so kind to you. The Tang Dynasty's black armor and iron cavalry are famous all over the world, and even our Silla changed their color when they heard it. I never thought that the emperor would be willing to give you as a private soldier."

Yes, private soldiers!

Li Shimin smashed the tiger talisman of the Xuanjia Army, and from then on these five thousand cavalry were Han Yue's personal soldiers.The emperor cannot command, and the Ministry of War has no right to intervene. The only one who can command this army is Han Yue.

Cheng Yaojin said meaningfully: "In the statutes of the Tang Dynasty, nobles and nobles are not allowed to reserve soldiers and horses privately, even the prince must abide by this law. Back then, as the king of Qin, His Majesty made unparalleled meritorious deeds, and there were only [-] private soldiers..."

How did Han Yue not know about this?Private soldiers are different from regular troops. Li Shimin, as the king of Qin, could command more than half of the army of the Tang Dynasty, but his private soldiers were only [-].

Now, Li Shimin has sent 5000 people as his private soldiers, and these 5000 people are still the most elite black armor cavalry in Datang.

Chapter 230 Attacking Liaodong Tonight

But these are not counted, and Old Cheng suddenly said: "Your Majesty not only gave you five thousand private soldiers, but also gave you the right to recruit soldiers. Not long ago, you sent Li Fenghua to ask His Majesty, saying that you planned to subdue Mo He Su Mo. At that time You asked for [-] recruiting rights, and all civil and military officials in the court thought you were arrogant, but do you know what His Majesty said?"

Han Yue was so shocked by the previous news that he dared not ask any more, and murmured, "Your Majesty agrees."

"More than agreeing?" Old Cheng said with a hey, his eyes sparkling: "At that time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not agree, but His Majesty waved his arm and laughed and said: If the brat wants to conquer Liaodong, how can [-] soldiers and horses be enough?" ? I have appointed him as the Chief of the Hebei Road Marching Army. How can he be famous but not powerful? I want to build two hundred high-level zhechong mansions for him, and allow him to recruit soldiers at will without setting an upper limit..."

boom--

Han Yue's mind trembled again, and his hands trembled a little.

The Zhechong Mansion of the Tang Dynasty is divided into upper, middle and lower classes, responsible for recruiting and training soldiers.

If Li Shimin really built two hundred Zhechong mansions for him, according to theoretical calculations, Han Yue would have an army of 24.

Although this army is not a private soldier, but the palm of the hand is so powerful, who in the world can rule except the emperor?

Want to know how many soldiers are there in the entire Tang Dynasty?The total number of people in the whole country does not exceed 80, and this has to include all farmers who work at home.

Li Shimin's move means that Han Yue has mastered a quarter of the country's military force.

……

Old Cheng was full of emotion, and suddenly said: "Don't be too optimistic about this matter. Although His Majesty has given you such great power, after all, the Tang Dynasty has not been established for a long time, and money is being used everywhere, and the national treasury is very empty."

He glanced at Han Yue, and then said: "Your Majesty has already said that he gives you the right to recruit soldiers, but he doesn't care about raising soldiers. You can recruit as many soldiers and horses as you want, and the court can only watch this matter." Blind, even if you can recruit 50 soldiers, as long as you can afford it, that is your ability."

Han Yue looked strange and smiled bitterly: "It turns out that it was because of giving power but not money. I was excited for a long time because of my loss. Your Majesty is really stingy..."

"Fart!" Lao Cheng shouted loudly, interrupting Han Yue, "There are dozens of people in Tang Dynasty, and even more than a hundred marquis. Who do you think is qualified to receive this honor? Don't tell the old man anything about the military chief of Hebei Road. There are [-] roads in the whole country, and you are not the only one who is in charge of the marching army. The old man was named Duke Lu, the official worshiper of Zuo Wuwei, the hereditary prefect of Puzhou. I have saved your Majesty's life twice in my life. the government?"

Lao Cheng glanced left and right, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Boy, listen to this old man. Your Majesty allows you to recruit troops. This is a good opportunity from heaven. The name is called Tianlongjun, tsk tsk, listen to how majestic this name is... Don't grin, kid, if you swipe again, the old man will greet you with an axe."

Han Yue was stunned, and the old Cheng told him earnestly for a long time, he almost forgot that the person in front of him was the first hob meat of the Tang Dynasty.

If others play hob meat with him, Han Yue is not afraid, the big deal is not to urinate that pot.But old Cheng can't, he is Cheng Chumo's father.

In ancient times, Yiyi was a brother, the brother's parents, and also my parents. Han Yue and Cheng Chumo swore to each other, and Lao Cheng was absolutely qualified to beat him.

I heard Lao Cheng continue to say: "Boy, I know your ability to make money. The people in the Central Plains almost regard you as the God of Wealth, and the people in the market know that you are enshrined in statues. Get up and make money. Get a year Several million guns, and strive to raise 20 troops."

Han Yue was dumbfounded. Old Cheng had such a big tone, he opened his mouth and asked him to keep 20 troops in captivity. Even if the emperor granted so many recruiting rights, who would dare to do so?Now is the early Tang Dynasty, not the late Tang Dynasty, how could Li Shiminxiong, a man of great talent, tolerate the appearance of Jiedushi?

He slowly shook his head, always feeling that this was unreliable.

The affairs of the world are always fascinated by the authorities. The civil and military people of the whole dynasty knew his identity and understood why Li Shimin acted like this. However, Han Yue himself was encouraged and always worried that his military power would be too great, and he would end up badly in the end.

Jin Linger suddenly interjected next to him, and asked Cheng Yaojin with deep meaning: "This lord, your emperor has given him the right to recruit troops. I wonder if there is a limit to the scope?"

Old Cheng was slightly stunned, smack his mouth and ponder: "I haven't elaborated on this matter, but the Marquis of Jingyang has been appointed as the chief marching officer of Hebei Road. According to common sense, he can only recruit troops in Hebei Road."

Jin Ling'er frowned, and said softly: "Although the Hebei Road of your Tang Dynasty has jurisdiction over Shandong and Hebei, its main area is Yingzhou in the west of Liaoning. This area is vast and sparsely populated. Let alone recruiting 20 troops, It is very difficult to recruit [-] soldiers and horses, I think your emperor is clearly making a picture..."

She is the Princess of Silla. She has received all kinds of knowledge since she was a child, and she has mastered the world's major affairs. This assertion is not empty talk.

Cheng Yaojin gave her a meaningful look, and said, "You are a good girl. You know how to protect your husband before you get married. Tsk tsk, women in the Central Plains are not as smart as you, they usually only care about husbands and children." Mouth It sounds nice, but the implication is that women should not intervene when it comes to men.

Jin Ling'er blushed, she knew that Cheng Yaojin had something to say, she still bravely raised her chest and retorted loudly: "I am good friends with him, of course I want to help him speak, your emperor knows that there are few people here, why do you want to paint a picture? Cake deceives? Humph, do you still need to build [-] Zhechong mansions to raise mice?"

The chick's words were fierce, and Cheng Yaojin rubbed his teeth.He is an elder after all. Although the little girl in front of her speaks irritatingly, she will marry Han Yue in the future, so it is not easy for Old Cheng to quarrel with her by means of hob meat.

"Little girl has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, but unfortunately you have long hair and short knowledge. I have a rough idea to His Majesty, and there is no discount for giving rewards.

Han Yue suddenly coughed dryly, and said in a deep voice, "Although Kanto has a vast area and few people, recruiting troops is not too difficult." He glanced at Lao Cheng, then at Jin Ling'er, and explained in a low voice, "There is a lack of Han people here. However, there are a large number of barbarians, but they live between the white mountains and black waters, nomadic hunting and hunting, and it is rare to see them on weekdays, which will give people the illusion that there is a lack of people here."

"Really? Why haven't I heard of it?" Jin Ling'er looked puzzled, even Old Cheng showed disbelief.
