Hearing Zhong Yu's unkind words, the faces of the ministers turned ugly, which made them feel a little unhappy after they had just obtained the title of feudal state.
But then he saw the figure with a cold and cruel expression on the throne, and his heart became cold, and he suddenly remembered that this person was not an easy person to talk to.
In Yizhou, millions of nobles were killed in Yizhou before, so that now there is no one who can read in Yizhou. And Jingzhou also killed tens of thousands of people around Jiangling. This was not an emperor who obeyed others.
Now that he is just a surrendered minister who has just surrendered and received some comfort, he now dares to openly insult his future boss.
With this boss’s violent temper, I wonder how he will treat me in the future? Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but shuddered, and cold sweat dripped down their bodies.
But he no longer dared to speak out to refute Zhong Yu's opinion.
Seeing the courtiers below and finally understanding his identity, Zhong Yu stopped looking at them and said to himself:
"Now I have 200,000 elite soldiers in the imperial palace, who are reserved in the center to defend the emperor and his chariots, and to frighten the disloyalty of the world. The world is at war with each other, and we still need a large army to conquer, so we have specially set up a new army for the purpose of conquering!"
After hearing this, Situ Wangyun, who wanted to show off in this opportunity, said:
"I wonder how many troops your Majesty needs to form? What are your requirements?"
Zhong Yu glanced at Wang Yun and didn't care about him at all. He just nodded slightly to express his satisfaction and comfort him.
"The army is not large in number, but it is only a million people. With the support of the whole country, we can still afford it!"
Hearing the huge numbers in Zhong Yu's mouth and the words "supported by the power of the whole country". The expressions of all the ministers standing before His Highness changed, and they understood that this was a hint to them that they would have to pay for the millions of troops.
There was a burst of anger in my heart, but when I thought about the fate of the nobles in Jingzhou and Yizhou, I couldn't help but pour cold water on them, extinguishing the terrible thoughts that had just arisen in my heart.
Instead of having his whole family beheaded and all the family's savings being moved away without leaving any behind, it would be better for him to take the initiative to give away most of his property and still get the chance to survive and the feudal state that Zhong Yu is now compensating.
Between the two choices of death now and living with compensation, everyone chose the latter option. They wisely told Zhong Yu that they supported the formation of an army and actively donated their clan's property to help the emperor pacify the world as early as possible. .
Suddenly, the court became a place where officials and officials from all over the world competed for wealth. You donated thousands of gold, and I donated ten thousand gold. You donated ten thousand tons of grain and grass, and I donated ten thousand tons.
For a while, you and I were going back and forth, vying with each other to express their loyalty to Zhong Yu, lest Zhong Yu think that they were stingy and refused to pay.
This leaves a bad impression in the mind, and we will settle the score later when we have time. Looking at it from the side, neither standing nor sitting, made Emperor Ling feel embarrassed.
In the past, like those ministers, it was difficult for them to ask for a load of food and grass, but now they actively donated their wealth, and it was still too huge to be counted.
This told him how to deal with himself, and at the same time, he felt a burst of joy in his heart, saying that if you refused to give it to me, he would still be snatched away, and he deserved it.
In a short time, it was huge enough to feed a million troops for three years, and the taxes of the Han Dynasty in the past ten years were donated in the mouths of these ministers.
In a burst of heartache, all the princes in the imperial court retired from the court, and returned to their homes with trembling bodies and twitching in their hearts.
Zhong Yu also returned to his palace, went to court with satisfaction, and happily prepared to recruit troops. An army of millions was not a small number, and detailed plans were required to make arrangements.
Three days later, an order to recruit troops was conveyed to all parts of the imperial kingdom. This time, instead of a conscription system, a recruitment system was adopted, and the soldiers and horses trained were more elite.
And the 80 people captured before to attack Luoyang City
Of the 400,000 cannon fodders, 400,000 cannon fodders who were old, weak, sick, or disabled, or whose physical fitness did not meet the requirements were dismissed, leaving only 400,000 soldiers who were relatively strong, and had a fighting will that met the requirements of being a soldier.
Since this time we were recruiting soldiers, soldiers would receive military pay and a pension if they died. All those soldiers enthusiastically joined the army. People who wanted to become soldiers lined up in queues, and they couldn't even drive them away.
As for whether the imperial court has money to pay them as military salary, will it be reluctant to do so? Are those soldiers not worried at all? They had already heard the news that Zhong Yu had privately ordered.
The emperor had just taken out a large amount of military pay from the pockets of those noble families. It was enough to feed one million people for three years. The court had not collected taxes for ten years. How could they be afraid that the court would not be able to provide them with military pay? !
As for the reluctance to give it, that is even more ridiculous. The emperor was even willing to give his own land to his ministers for the country.
Just like a landlord is willing to give up his livelihood and fertile land to his tenants, how can such a generous emperor be reluctant to give up such a small amount of military pay!
Therefore, the enthusiasm of the common people in the world to join the army was still very high. Wave after wave of common people were won over by Zhong Yu while joining the army, and the world became much more stable.
After January, the army recruitment in various places was still going on. The 400,000 strong men that Lao Na had reorganized were ready to be led by the four generals to put down the rebellion and accept the legacy of the Han Dynasty.
Wherever the army passed, people surrendered one after another. Detailed lists were sent to the generals' camps to express their loyalty and surrender. Except for a few people who were stubborn, they were immediately defeated by the army.
Five months later, all the territory of the entire Han Dynasty was taken over by the Yuguo, and all the rebellions were put down. There was singing and dancing in the Yuguo, and the scene of peace seemed to be visible at any time.
The conscription work, which had lasted for half a year and six months, was also coming to an end at this time. A total of 600,000 elite soldiers were summoned to the military camp and trained for half a year.
Half a year later, these 600,000 new soldiers will go out together with the 400,000 old soldiers to attack Xianbei, and they will need to identify his 200,000 elite soldiers from the millions of people.
At that time, this will be 200,000, plus Luoyang's 200,000, a total of 400,000 elite soldiers will be the capital for attacking the barbarians in the main world.
And he also issued a recruitment order within the past six months, in which he expressed his ardent expectation for talents to rule the world with him.
And this did not live up to his expectations. Talents from all over the world poured into his network like crucian carp crossing the river. Talented people from all over the world recommended their talents to his government one after another.
Among them are many famous advisers and generals during the Three Kingdoms period. It can be said that most of the talents have been recruited by him. Except for those who have not been born yet, or who are only a few years old, the Three Kingdoms can be said to have been passed down by himself.
With these talents, I will not have to worry about talent reserves for a long time in the main world.
And technical talents from all over the country were forced to gather in Luoyang City by his own order. As a result, people from all over the country wanted to make a piece of iron for plowing, but they couldn't find a blacksmith to do it, which made people all over the world feel a little resentful.
However, none of this would be taken to heart by that aloof ruler, Zhong Yu.
