Daming: Ascend to the throne as the emperor, start the game with land gods

"What do you think?"

Zhu Youjian had a vague feeling, but he couldn't put it into words. He frowned and said, "Forget it, Wei Zhong, take the Emperor Sword!"

"My lord, the Emperor Sword is here."

"Give it to Governor Sun!"

"His Majesty……"

Sun Chengzong took the Tianzi Sword with both hands, trembling, his throat a little choked.

This is the Son of Heaven Sword.

"If I come here in person, during the period of relief to the victims of Jiliao, Master Sun, you can use this sword to cut first and then play, and you can also mobilize officials, Dongxichang, Jinyiwei, and the Imperial Forest Army!"

Zhu Youjian said in a deep voice.

In a word, Tianzijian was endowed with higher power to mobilize the imperial palace guards and intelligence. This trust made Sun Chengzong tearful.

"Your Majesty, I swear before the king that if the incident of Ji Liao causes turmoil in the country, I will suffer the pain of being cut by fish scales!"

Sun Chengzong issued a military order and roared angrily.

Fish scales are chopped.

Cover the person with a fishing net, and then pieces of flesh protrude out.

Cut one by one with a knife.

It has the same effect as Ling Chi.

Loyalty and righteousness.

Nothing more than that.

Sun Chengzong rubbed the Tianzi sword, his expression gradually became urgent, he had this thing, so he had to use it quickly.

"I see, the Emperor's Sword is given to you, Ai Qing seems impatient, so let's leave first!"

"I retire!"

Sun Chengzong has the habit of a military general, without delay, holding the Tianzi sword, just like this, he went out of the palace.

Killing intent.

It attracted the vigilance of countless palace guards.

Inside the warm cabinet.

Zhu Youjian smiled dumbly.

"Bo Ya (Sun Chuanting's word)!"

"The minister is here."

Sun Chuanting bowed and saluted with a serious expression, not relaxed by His Majesty's closeness.

Do not overstep.

"Bo Ya is the governor of Jiliao, how many troops does Jiliao Town have?"

"Return to His Majesty, 40 in the register!"

"How many troops are there in the garrison of the Thirteen Towns on Nine Borders?"

"240 million people are registered."

"How many troops does the Guochao army have?"

"Returning to His Majesty, there are 280 million people on the register."

Nine sides and thirteen towns.

Jiubian is the nine important towns in the north of the country, starting from the Yalu River in the east and ending at Jiayuguan in the west, each responsible for a section of the Great Wall.

At the very beginning, it was called Nine Borders and Nine Towns.

During the period of Emperor Jiajing, in order to strengthen the protection of the capital, two towns were added.

It has the name of Nine Sides and Eleven Towns.

During the reign of Emperor Wanli, two more towns were added.

It evolved into today's Nine Sides and Thirteen Towns.

There are 240 million soldiers in the north.

The soldiers in Jiliao Town alone are equivalent to the 40 troops of the southern guards.

These ones.

Sun Chuanting understood clearly.

"Well, one is on the list, Boya, you are a smart person, so let me ask you, how many are there?"

Chapter 24

"In my humble opinion, the actual strength of Jiliao Town is less than 20."

"The actual strength of the Thirteen Towns on Nine Sides is less than 60."

"The actual total military strength of the country is less than 100 million."

Combining what he had seen and heard, Sun Chuanting frankly conjectured in his heart, and continued: "Jiliao Town has less than [-] soldiers capable of fighting.

There are less than 40 combatable soldiers in the thirteen towns on the nine sides.

The country's total combatable troops are less than 60. "

Taizu Emperor Zhu.

Set up the guard system.

It claims to be able to raise millions of soldiers without spending a penny.

In terms of quantity alone.

Emperor Taizu said at the beginning.

There is no doubt that it has been done, and it has been improved to a higher level.

In the Guochao Guardhouse, there are tens of millions of guards who are ready to be ordered at any time.

Combat.

There is no need to ask.

There are only 280 million registered soldiers, which can barely be called "soldiers".

But on the books.

Doesn't mean there is a real person.

It is well known all over the world that Guochao eats nothing.

Military generals are eating it, princes and marquises are eating it, and even civil servants are eating it.

Eat it layer by layer.

280 million total troops.

In fact, it would be nice to have a million.

but.

The military pay issued by the Ministry of Households is the military pay of 280 million people.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the dignitaries of the Manchu dynasty are all the moths of the dynasty.

The actual total strength is one million.

It does not mean that the combat power can reach the level of a million troops.

Due to the guard system, there are a large number of old, weak, disabled and weak soldiers in the army, as well as young and young soldiers.

The country can fight soldiers.

It fluctuates around 60.

One is 60.

One is 280.

The ratio has just passed [-]%.

It is no exaggeration to describe it as a mess.

"It seems that I appointed you, Boya, as the supervisor of Ji Liao, which is right!"

Zhu Youjian was not angry, on the contrary, he was very happy, and the appreciation in his eyes became more intense.

this number.

It is basically consistent with the information submitted by Jinyiwei and Dongxichang.

for the general.

The most important thing is to assess the situation.

Know the enemy, but also know yourself.

It is extremely foolish to blindly focus on military strength while ignoring combat effectiveness.

on this.

Sun Chuanting's performance is remarkable.

not bad.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

Sun Chuanting bowed and saluted, neither humble nor overbearing.

With the Wen Tao of a scholar and the martial arts of a general, he is full of confidence.

"I want to start rebuilding the soldiers of the thirteen towns on the nine sides first, does Boya have any ideas?"

"Your Majesty Chen Qi, it's freezing cold this year. Before the spring of next year, the thirteen towns on the nine sides will not be disturbed. This is a good opportunity for military training."

"Be specific!"

"On the way I came to Beijing, I heard traveling merchants talk about that from the north of Shanhaiguan, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow, snow up to people's knees, people, horses, it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch, so the Yidi people, including Houjin, only Being able to stay in a tent all day, sheltered from the wind and snow.”

Sun Chuanting straightened his expression and said seriously: "But seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. I suggest that you send out agents to investigate outside Shanhaiguan.

If it is true as You Shang said, then from now to the beginning of spring, five full months will be an excellent opportunity to train the soldiers of Nine Borders and Thirteen Towns. "

"If I entrust all the soldiers of the thirteen towns on the nine sides to Boya, and take food, grass and military equipment at will, what will happen after five months?"

"I don't dare to say anything, but I will let His Majesty see the completely new Nine Sides and Thirteen Towns."

Sun Chuanting understood, and when saluting, he bent over more than [-] degrees with full confidence.

five months.

It is impossible to create an iron-blooded army.

Even building an elite corps is difficult.

but.

Sun Chuanting felt that it was no problem to be able to double the combat power of the existing Ming army.

"Wei Zhong, get another Emperor Sword!"

Zhu Youjian handed the Tianzi Sword to Sun Chuanting with his own hands, and said without anger: "With this sword, you can control the soldiers of the thirteen towns on the nine sides, from the commander in chief of a town to ordinary soldiers, you can kill first and then play!

I will let you allocate tens of millions of taels of silver from the internal funds to you. How to use it is up to you, but I have a request. After five months, there will be no money left!

The brand new Nine Sides and Thirteen Towns, don't let me down! "

"Your Majesty's kindness to you, I will never refuse to die!"
