Chapter 607 Integrate resources and determine the mechanism!
"What if I'm going to ask you two to come back?"
"Come back?"
The two were stunned when they heard this. They had just been dismissed and investigated by His Majesty, and Prince Yong was going to let them come back as soon as he took office?
Is it true that, as rumored, His Majesty... usurped the throne?
"Your Highness, His Majesty..."
"No problem!"
Ning Fan had a gentle smile on his face, and his elegant temperament was released, making people feel like spring breeze: "My father has agreed. Now that Dayu is facing internal and external troubles, it is time to use people. You two are my Dayu's right-hand men, so you should use them."
"But... Tianyu Army..."
"Military reform is being implemented. By then, the troops of the four borders will be reintegrated!"
"So that's it!"
The two understood it at once, and there was a gleam of brilliance in their eyes. Is this considered a second spring?
"Lord!"
Just as the three were discussing military reform and recruiting new soldiers, Jia Xu walked in quickly and looked at Ning Fan: "Duke Jingguo sent a letter with a pigeon, General Lan Yu led the army to the north, and now the main force of the Zhenguo Army has escaped!"
"It's time to close the net."
Ning Fan's eyes were a little sharp, and he immediately said: "Immediately summon Feng Xiao, Kong Ming, and Shang Yang to discuss matters!"
"Yes!"
...
Outside Huazhu City.
The war was about to break out.
"Go!"
"Go!"
Tie Xuanzhen personally led the Mobei army to the north. The fields in the wilderness had been trampled into hard soil by the horses' hooves, and the sparse shadows of the trees were cut off in the middle after the iron cavalry passed through.
"General, Huazhu City is 70 miles ahead."
"Order the whole army to speed up!"
"Yes!"
A line of messengers rushed towards the rear army. Nearly 300,000 troops stretched for dozens of miles, and thousands of cavalry galloped, like waves surging, able to swallow everything.
In a wilderness not far away, the knights of the Tianyu Army slowly raised their broadswords, as if they had heard the noise from afar.
Ning Rulai's eyes were a little solemn. Although he had been familiar with the art of war since he was a child and had fought in many battles, he was still nervous as the commander of an army facing hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen in Mobei alone.
"Pass the order!"
Ning Rulai slowly raised the spear in his hand, his eyes gradually became firm, looking at the soil around him that had been trampled into a flat ground after the spring plowing, and a scorching flame seemed to be burning in his chest.
"Kill!"
At the command, the flag soldiers around him suddenly waved their flags, and Ji Wuyi and Xie Yan also slowly raised their weapons, shouted, and the war horses under their crotches broke free.
"Enemy attack!"
Tie Xuanzhen looked at the iron cavalry that suddenly appeared in the distant sky, and his face suddenly changed. He shouted to the generals around him: "Defend against the enemy, prepare to defend against the enemy!"
But it was too late. The army of Mobei had no formation at all. Facing the sudden attack of the Tianyu Army, there was no time to organize a formation.
"Scissor formation!"
Ning Rulai looked at the endless formation of Mobei and gave the order without hesitation. Ji Wuyi and Xie Yan responded at the same time. Immediately, 40,000 iron cavalry divided their troops and made a detour, rushing towards the army of Mobei.
"General, it's... Tianyu Army!"
"Why did the Tianyu Army appear here? Damn it!"
"Javelin formation, line up!"
As soon as the voice fell, a team of armored soldiers holding javelins behind him lined up in front, throwing the javelins in their hands vigorously. As the formation of the Tianyu Army got closer and closer, the power of the javelin was also revealed.
Even though they were wearing iron armor, the Tianyu Army soldiers who were charging at the front fell off their horses one after another and were drowned in the wave of the army that was advancing forward.
But as the two armies met, the javelin team's formation was instantly broken, and blood and flesh flew everywhere where the horses' hooves stepped on.
"Trample!"
"Trample!"
Behind the army of Mobei, another group of cavalry suddenly rushed out, and the long spears standing on the horses' backs flashed with cold light.
Yue Fei took the lead, and the qi on his body surged. The ten thousand cavalry behind him seemed to be integrated into one. From a distance, it seemed that there was a mysterious breath rising.
"Beiwei Army!"
"Here!"
"Follow me to kill the enemy, kill all the barbarians, and restore our rivers and mountains!"
"Kill!"
Ten thousand Beiwei soldiers formed a battle formation in an instant. More than ten thousand Beiwei soldiers seemed to have awakened their sleeping souls. Between the cold iron armor, they made uniform movements and attacked the rear army of Mobei with overwhelming momentum.
...
Yuwang City.
The capital of Dayu these past two days was shrouded in a stormy atmosphere. Whether outside or inside the city, even ordinary people noticed something unusual.
It was definitely not as simple as the invasion of the Mobei army.
The gates of Prince Yong's mansion were also wide open these past two days. The ministers from the ninth rank officials to the important officials in the court were almost trampled down.
"My lord!"
Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang met together, Shang Yang sat at the bottom, and the staff of Prince Yong's mansion gathered together.
"No need to be polite!"
"Today I summoned you all, first of all, for the war in the northern border!"
"Now that Duke Jingguo has escaped, the overall situation in the northern border has been determined."
"After the war is over, it will be the military system reform. I believe Shang Jun has already made some rules?"
Ning Fan looked at Shang Yang, who nodded slightly and said softly: "My lord, I have discussed with the Ministry of War to integrate the four frontier armies. On the existing basis, it will remain basically unchanged."
"The northern border of Dayu is long, and it takes at least 300,000 troops to guard it all year round. Now, the Zhenbei Army has fought repeatedly, suffered heavy casualties, and has less than 200,000 soldiers under its command!"
"In the western border, Dayan has frequently mobilized troops, and the situation has also changed. But Dayu has Xuanjian Pass to defend, so we have 300,000 troops stationed here."
"The power of the country of Donghuai in the eastern border is declining. Under normal circumstances, only 100,000 troops are needed for garrison!"
"As for the southern border, Huainan has its own system, and the Zhennan Marquis' Mansion also has 100,000 elite soldiers. We only need to reorganize it, and there is no need to make a big move."
"After this battle, the 30,000 imperial guards in the court were almost wiped out. What I mean is that in the capital area, 10,000 imperial guards will be set up, responsible only for guarding the palace city. The imperial guards will have four commanders to guard the four palace gates!"
"Patrol camps will be set up at the major gates of Yuwang City, with a full complement of 50,000!"
"In addition to the promotion of soldiers' merits, re-plan the system, establish a military merit reward mechanism, grant gold, silver and food, and promote them!"
"Not bad!"
After hearing Shang Yang's detailed explanation, whether it was Ning Fan or Guo Jia and others, they all nodded frequently, with admiration on their faces.
"Now that the rules have been established, we will implement them immediately after the war is over!"
"Yes!"
"Fengxiao, Kongming, I am going to reform the central government, set up three provinces, and divide the power of the prime minister. What suggestions do you have?"
Ning Fan elaborated on the mechanism of the three provinces and six ministries in detail. Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang both showed a pensive look, and after a long time, they spoke.
"My lord, this matter will be proposed at the morning court tomorrow."
"Yes!"
"I have the same idea."
