Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 401 How to gather enough troops
Chen Yi looked around, and found that there were a lot of people like the empress, and they didn't seem to know what they were.

"This exercise means drill. Usually, isn't there no war in our barracks? Don't everyone usually train on the martial arts training ground? It's just that this time we change the venue, from the barracks to the border."

As soon as Chen Yi finished speaking, he saw a minister of the Ministry of War directly rebutting.

"Your Majesty, I have a different opinion. I think it's inappropriate. We don't have any spare troops now. If we deploy them at will, there will be vacancies above the garrison, which will allow the enemy to take advantage of them. Your Majesty, you can't do it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I also think this method is inappropriate."

"Your Majesty, think twice, this won't work, you can't be dispatched at will, that's why you didn't send troops to the border, didn't you?"

Suddenly, the surrounding ministers raised objections.

Seeing this, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs couldn't agree more, these conservatives would do such things that dragged their feet.

If you don't show your strength now, do you want to submit to the Xuanluo Kingdom? !

Just when the minister of the Ministry of punishment wanted to come out to refute, the chief assistant of the cabinet stood up.

"Your Majesty, I feel that there is room for implementation of this matter, and it is not necessary to completely deny it. However, there are still some problems. We just need to discuss and solve them."

When the Minister of Punishment saw this, he immediately echoed and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with the opinion of the Chief Minister of the Cabinet."

Several other ministers also stood up to express their approval.

The empress didn't know who to listen to for a while, so she directly focused on Chen Yi.

"Chen Shilang, let me tell you what to do. This force cannot be deployed at will."

Chen Yi had already thought about these issues when he was writing the memorial. Last time, when the Xuanluo Kingdom invaded, these people did not send troops for various reasons.

Chen Yi understood them because they had never won a victory in the past.

So if he didn't have confidence in directly confronting Xuanluo, he would give them confidence. That's why he thought of borrowing troops from Daliao to win this victory.

This idea succeeded, and at the same time, Chen Yi felt the bravery of the border soldiers.

Besides, there is no need to go to the battlefield this time, just let them take people over and use the number of people to create momentum.

So there is no difficulty, Chen Yi said with a smile.

"What you ministers are thinking is reasonable. I have already thought of this matter, so you don't have to worry, ministers. What I want to remind you is that there are two reasons for going to the border this time."

Chen Yi stretched out a finger: "The first one is to frighten the Xuanluo Kingdom, let them know that we have strength, and there are a lot of them, and we are not afraid of launching another war, so that they can talk about peace obediently and don't use their brains."

"The second thing is that we won a city this time, but the border has suffered a lot of losses this time, so we need to replenish our troops, and the new city also needs people to garrison it."

Chen Yi stretched out his second finger, and continued: "About 5 people are enough to go to the border this time. Including the soldiers who are staying at the border now, the difference is only about [-] to [-]. These people went just to show off. No need to go to the battlefield."

The minister of the Ministry of War who stood up first snorted.

"I used to admire Chen Shilang very much, but now it seems that I did something stupid? The 5 people don't say where they are transferred, but how much food and grass will be consumed along the way? Who will bear it? Marching consumption The military supplies are extraordinarily large."

There was no angry expression on Chen Yi's face.

"Where will the 5 people be transferred is indeed a problem. After all, there is no shortage of people everywhere. The 5 people are not a small number. Why did we transfer 5 people from one place at that time? We can spread them out!"

Chen Yi looked at the minister of the Ministry of War who was dumbfounded by him, and smiled slightly.

"Our Dawu Kingdom has a large territory, so there are many places to be stationed, and the troops are relatively scattered. This is the main reason why the ministers did not dare to send troops easily last time. I also understand, so I thought of this method."

"Our Dawu Kingdom's military strength is scattered, and it's not small. Every place has enough troops. We only need to transfer about 1000 people from each place, and we can basically gather enough people, can't we?"

When Chen Yi said this, he continued without waiting for others to speak.

"I know that the ministers are worried about cooperation, but don't forget that this mission is to scare people. There is no need to cooperate, just the number of people, and the exercise I mentioned is not a simple talk, but when they need to be at the border Trained."

After the empress heard this, she had a flash of inspiration, yes, why didn't she think of it before.

In fact, after Chen Yi left, he was always worried about him defecting to the Liao Kingdom. One of the reasons was this.

Now that the troops are insufficient, Chen Yi, the person who can solve the problem, is gone. What should she do next time?
But now Chen Yi actually thought of this method for her, it is simply a once-and-for-all method, and it can be used as a reference in the future, just like what Chen Yi said.

They can go to the border to train troops, so that the gap between troops in different areas will be smaller, and there will be connections with each other, which will not be like before.

They are on their own, except for the coach, no one else can do anything at all.

According to Chen Yi's method, all the troops of Dawu Kingdom were indirectly integrated. She can often hold such exercises, and she can directly send troops in this way in the future.

Accept a general, and after the battle is over, the soldiers will return to their own barracks.

The reward is the same as before, but it's just a little more troublesome, waiting for the person accurately, so as to prevent the general from being ambitious.

The armies in various places will not be a piece of iron, so that she, the empress, can't move.

Of course, there will be disadvantages in this, such as spies mixed in.

There is no way to prevent this, only to strengthen prevention.

Another advantage is that when recruiting troops, you will not be unable to recruit due to the number of people in one place, and you can do it in different places at the same time.

The more the empress thought about it, the more she felt that this method was good. She had been confined by her predecessors' experience before.

"Okay, this method is good. Not only can it be used this time, but it can also be used in the future. In this way, it will solve the embarrassing situation where there is no way to mobilize troops when there is a war. Okay, Chen Shilang, you did a good job."

Chen Yi heard the empress's praise and saw the empress's expression, so he knew that the empress understood the benefits, but he guessed there was one thing that the empress definitely didn't think of.

"I thank your Majesty for the compliment. However, there is another drawback to this method, which is the matter of military pay and food. I suggest that we provide it separately."
