As a feudal country, the emperor is at the top of the pyramid, but under him, there are noble lords from all sides, and those noble lords all hold extremely heavy military power.
Since there is no objection, it is acquiescence, which means that Li Yalin's purpose has been achieved.
but!
With Ernest's death, the Imperial Capital is facing a reshuffle, but Night Raid, as the hero behind the scenes, has become a street rat that everyone wants to beat.
Yes, he does look down on An Ningdao and the resistance. In his eyes, the empire lacks soldiers, so he can just recruit them again without spending too much time.
Of course, he must have his own little plans in mind, but there is no need to say them all.
Although the goal was achieved, his little thoughts were directly seen by Esdeath.
"Why? General Bude, can you tell me what you think?"
"Then... General Bude, please express your thoughts."
On the surface, this can not only avoid domestic war, but also make full use of these two combat forces to repel the invaders. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"Not to mention, even if you can recruit soldiers, you still need to spend a lot of time training them. If you do that, by the time our soldiers are trained, the Western aliens will have already arrived at our doorstep!"
He stood up just to tell everyone that there is such a group of heroes in this world, and it is the efforts of all of them that have added an indelible contribution to the rebirth of this empire!
Unless there is a special need, no one is willing to mobilize the lord's soldiers. This means that what Li Yalin needs to do most is to use his remaining soldiers to defend against foreign enemies.
Facing General Bude, who was the first to object, Li Yalin frowned subconsciously. Although he had expected this, he was still a little unhappy.
"Besides, why don't you tell me about mobilizing the soldiers of the various lords? Now that the empire is suffering from internal and external troubles, most of the lords have wolfish ambitions. Once the order for recruitment is issued, the lords of all parties will definitely take the opportunity to develop their own strength. When the time comes, the master is weak and the servant is strong. , the empire will inevitably suffer a greater crisis!"
Especially in the current empire, the emperor's power is no longer what it used to be. Even if an order is issued, there may not be many lords who will obey it.
"It is understandable that the people would want to resist the empire because they cannot survive. We should all understand this."
"Did you see it?"
Sounds cruel, right
"No! I object!"
But it's good now. Everything he wanted to say was finished by Li Yalin. People took his way away. Now he has no way to go. Isn't this embarrassing
"That's what I said, but General Bude, what other solutions do you have now to solve the problem of our insufficient military resources? Don't tell me to recruit more troops. Now the empire's finances are in trouble and there is simply no way to spare so much money and food. Go and recruit soldiers.”
Why did something that was originally very simple suddenly become complicated
Why did General Bude oppose Li Yalin
The empire needed a fig leaf to cover up the little "face" that was left, so as a night raider who had committed major crimes in the imperial capital, it was natural that he would become a victim.
If this is the case, then I will tell you everything you can think of, and then deny it, and see what else you can say!
So, sometimes, it is better to think more.
Li Yalin didn't want to see this scene happen!
At the end of the discussion, General Bude failed to come up with a feasible solution. When Li Yalin proposed recruiting troops again, he did not object as strongly as before.
In his mind, both An Ning Dao and the Resistance Army were just a group of rebels and could not be brought to the forefront. He did not take those two organizations seriously at all.
As Esdeath said, the main reason Li Yalin did this was indeed to whitewash Night Raid.
There was nothing that could be done about it. Even Minister Qiao Li, a former ally of Night Raid, chose to acquiesce in this matter.
Although Li Yalin met General Bude only a few times, he knew this unsmiling man very well. He had a straightforward temper, a rigid mind, and outdated ideas. He was right in what he said.
Although those soldiers belonged to the empire in name, they were all private soldiers of the noble lords. Although they were not impossible to mobilize, it was quite troublesome to mobilize them.
No, after the discussion was over, Esdeath, who knew there was no one around, directly exposed his intentions.
We don’t have enough troops, it’s so embarrassing!
The empire's shortage of troops is a problem that everyone needs to face now.
"We all know that due to the autocratic rule of the empire's criminal minister Ernest, many resistance organizations have spawned in the empire, among which the two organizations of Anning Road and the Resistance Army are the largest."
Under such circumstances, he would not compromise easily without blocking all his avenues.
If you rebel against a thief, you will rebel against a thief. Why do you need to recruit people? Just eliminate the problem directly!
In this case, the Imperial City would be very embarrassed.
Since you object, then express your opinion.
After so much foreshadowing, Li Yalin finally got to the point. As he said, he hoped to recruit the rebels and An Ningdao.
But this is the fact!
With Li Yalin's eloquent words, General Bude was speechless for the first time.
"Now is the time when the empire is employing people. We cannot sit back and watch the invasion of foreign enemies, nor can we let the resistance organizations invade the interior. Therefore, I suggest that we send an envoy from the empire to recruit the two organizations, the resistance army and the An Ning Dao!"
"this… "
It is true that there are many soldiers in the empire, but it must be explained that just because there are many soldiers in the empire, it does not mean that all those soldiers belong to the empire!
Even if they can't recruit soldiers, there are still soldiers from various lords, and they can be forcibly recruited.
Only in this way can the empire's political power be stabilized, and at the same time, it can also sound the alarm to those noble lords with small thoughts!
The reason is simple.
"An Ningdao and the resistance army are just a bunch of gangsters. As soon as our imperial army comes out, they can suppress their resistance in an instant. They are just a bunch of rabble. There is no need to recruit them!"
As a stubborn general, Bude never changed his ideas.
"I have an idea that I have been thinking about for a long time. I will discuss it with you today."
All the generals present knew this very well, and because of this, as soon as Li Yalin's words came out, the entire hall fell into silence.
This achievement cannot be erased by anyone!
"You did all this just to clear up the night raid, right?"
but!
However, as soon as he put forward his words, he was immediately strongly opposed by General Bude, which made people very unhappy.
