Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

"Look at Ying Bu. He led only 10,000 vanguard troops, but he dealt a heavy blow to the enemy's 20,000 vanguard troops, and almost annihilated them. This battle was really a head-on battle! Ying Bu, if you were asked to lead these 10,000 people to directly confront the enemy, do you think you can defeat an enemy that is twice your number with the current strength?"

After hearing Gao Yao's question, Ying Bu did not dare to hide anything. He clasped his fists and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Excellency the Prime Minister, in my opinion, if we really have to fight head-on, I will only have less than a 20% chance of winning." After saying this, Ying Bu lowered his head slightly.

Ying Bu came here at about the same time as Zhang Liang, so he was also unfamiliar with the various affairs in the southern border. However, this did not affect Ying Bu's keen observation at all. The prosperity of life in the southern border he witnessed was far beyond his imagination. It is no exaggeration to say that the affluent life of the people here is something Ying Bu had never dared to hope for since he was born.

If the people of the entire Qin Dynasty could live and work in peace and contentment like the people in the southern border, then even a fool would not have the heart to rebel! After all, who doesn't want to enjoy a peaceful life in peace?

In addition, during the march and battle, Ying Bu was even more surprised by the excellent configuration of Gao Yao's army. Any team with more than 100 people must be equipped with craftsmen and military doctors. In this way, if a soldier is unfortunately injured, he can get timely and effective treatment in the shortest time, which greatly improves the combat effectiveness and survival rate of the troops. Not only that, they also have solid defense facilities that can be quickly built anytime and anywhere, whether they encounter enemy raids or hold their positions for a long time, they can do it with ease.

There are also various weapons and equipment used by this army. Compared with the traditional weapons of the Qin Dynasty, these new weapons are undoubtedly more advanced and powerful, allowing Gao Yao's troops to often gain the upper hand on the battlefield and be invincible.

Among all the advantages of the Southern Border Army, the one that shocked Ying Bu the most was the food problem. You know, in any city where the imperial army had set foot, according to common sense, it should be difficult to find even a grain of food. However, what was unexpected was that every time the imperial army withdrew, a large amount of food would emerge like mushrooms after rain.

Not only could the sudden emergence of food fail to meet the daily needs of the local people, but even more amazingly, a portion of it could be used as military rations to support the army anytime and anywhere. It was not until this time that Ying Bu realized how rich and fertile the southern border was. In every county town, there was a considerable amount of temporary grain hidden. However, these precious grains were all firmly controlled by the local governors, and others were completely unaware of it. As a result, it was almost impossible to search for them.

Following this line of thought, Ying Bu could easily come to a chilling conclusion: the food reserves currently in the Southern Territory were extremely large. If a protracted war really had to be fought, even if it lasted for several years, the Southern Territory would probably have the strength and capital to compete with it. Ying Bu was even more shocked when he thought of this. After all, it had only been a few years since the Southern Territory was recovered, and Gao Yao had only been in charge of the Southern Territory for a few years. It had developed to this point. If more time passed, how would the Southern Territory develop to? At this moment, Ying Bu did not dare to make too many assumptions.

This also made Ying Bu Gao Yao feel more wary. The more he knew about the Southern Territory and Gao Yao, the more he understood how unfathomable Gao Yao was. This was also the reason why the somewhat arrogant Ying Bu did not speak casually in this hall.

"Please rest assured, the first batch of students to be admitted to the military academy this time are none other than all the generals in the army today! We will adopt a method of admission in batches, allowing them to enter the school one by one to receive education and training. This arrangement is actually the best praise and recognition for the glorious military achievements of these generals in the past."

"It should be made clear that although they are fortunate enough to enter this institution, what academic achievements they can achieve and how much knowledge and skills they can master depends entirely on their own diligence and hard work. Every six months, the school will organize a real-combat confrontation exercise to test the true level and comprehensive ability of each student. The better the performance, the higher the military rank they can be promoted to. Everything depends on their true ability."

"In short, from now on, if you want to become a true general, you can't just rely on reckless actions or brute force. People who don't even know the most basic literacy are definitely not qualified. The military merits you have accumulated so far are only a precious opportunity to enter this school for further study. After all, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier! So, in the future, this place will become an important training cradle and growth base for all officers in the army."

Listening to Gao Yao's endless speech, everyone present had a look of astonishment on their faces, as if they were held in place by an invisible force, unable to come back to their senses for a long time. Time passed by minute by minute, and everyone was still immersed in the shock brought by the words they had just heard, and it was difficult for them to break free from this huge impact for a while.

At this moment, Feng Quji took a step forward, his weathered face showing a trace of solemnity and determination, and said loudly: "Mr. Prime Minister, in my opinion, this plan is not appropriate!"

Feng Quji's sudden words instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the room. Everyone turned their heads, and all eyes focused on Feng Quji, their eyes full of surprise and curiosity. After all, before this, most of the people talked about the various problems that this move might cause, but Feng Quji came straight to the point and said that this move was inappropriate. The difference is not small. The former only analyzed and discussed the possible consequences, while the latter was almost equivalent to bluntly pointing out that Gao Yao's behavior was wrong.

"Oh? Go ahead." Despite Feng Quji's direct questioning, Gao Yao did not show much displeasure on his face, but rather seemed quite calm. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Feng Quji with interest, as if he wanted to hear what this respected old minister could say.
