230, Zhao Yunxuan’s role [3/3]

Zhang Shiche is also an old acquaintance of Yi Yun. When he fought with the Japanese pirates' butterfly formation under the city of Nanjing, Yi Yun had seen him once. At that time, he felt that he was completely useless and could not do anything. The Shengtang Piaotian, a registered member of the literature, recommended this work.

This Zhang Shiche was pointed by Hu Zhongxian and his head suddenly shrank. After a long time, he said a little: "There are a total of 120,000 troops in Nanjing. Cough, yes, it's 120,000!"

Tenth 20,000? When Yi Yun heard this, he immediately sweated: Let's go ahead. Last time I passed by Nanjing, I saw that Nanjing was bullied like a dog by fifty-three Japanese pirates. Where did 120,000 people go out to fight? If there were 120,000 people, one person could drown the fifty-three Japanese pirates.

Hu Zhongxian obviously was not that easy to deceive. He said to Zhang Shiche seriously: "Mr. Zhang, what I asked is not the number of soldiers you asked the court for when you declared military pay, but the actual number of soldiers. You have to think it through before answering me."

Zhang Shiti wiped his cold sweat.

Hu Zhongxian said again: "Remember, don't take out the empty salary and say it, otherwise... you will report 120,000 yuan to me, and I will ask you to take your 120,000 people to fight the 120,000 Japanese pirates. I will not care whether you will die if you fight or not."

Zhang Shiche said anxiously: "The officials... the officials should tell the truth! Nanjing City is known to be 120,000 troops to the outside world, but actually has 8,842 soldiers."

Yi Yun: "..."

Damn, more than 8,000 people claim to be 120,000? Crazy! So crazy!

Hu Zhongxian snorted coldly and said, "Come on, take a note. The actual garrison of Nanjing Oasis is 8,842, and no one is allowed to be recorded."

"Yes!" A scholar came up and recorded carefully behind Hu Zhongxian.

"Suzhou magistrate, how many people can you call out there?" Hu Zhongxian turned to the next official again.

The prefect also shivered all over. With Zhang Shiche setting an example in front of him, he did not dare to report it randomly. He carefully stretched out three fingers and said, "Three thousand...463 people..."

Hu Zhongxian glared at him fiercely and smiled and said, "I remember when you asked for military pay last year, you reported to the court that 15,000 soldiers. The Shengtang Piaotian, a registered literary member, recommended this work."

The prefect Khan said anxiously: "Secretary... When the lower official returns, he will immediately return the excess military pay."

"Hangzhou!" Hu Zhongxian roared, then laughed and said, "By the way, the Hangzhou magistrate is me, who is also the one who is also in charge. I will report the number myself. The Hangzhou garrison declared 5,285 to the court, and the actual garrison... 5,285!"

Yo! Yi Yun gave him a small look. This official is quite good. It is much better than the messy and spoofed officials in Da Mengguo.

Then the officials in the hall began to report the number of troops in the oasis under their jurisdiction in turn. Large places like Shaoxing and Ningbo can generally report more than two or three thousand troops, while medium oasis like Jiaxing can report one to two or two thousand troops, while smaller counties can range from two or three hundred.

Some very small county towns, such as small oasis similar to Jiashan County, often only one to two hundred households are stationed. After excluding soldiers who do not have empty salary, there are only a few dozen soldiers, and they are weak.

After asking a while, Hu Zhongxian finally asked Yi Yun: "How many troops are there in Jiashan Oasis?"

Yi Yun laughed and said, "The soldiers reported to the court by our Jiashan Oasis are...zero! There is no garrison, only the Zhencheng Divine Management Team, hahahahahaha."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials in the hall were sweating profusely.

"No, Jiashan has no garrison? How did he fight against the harassment of Japanese pirates before?"

"Bad, right?"

"I heard that Jiashan always asked Jiaxing for help, otherwise he would have been fucked by Japanese pirates long ago. "Piaotian Literary Registered Member Recommended This Work" Piaotian Literary Registered Member Recommended This Work."

Hu Zhongxian laughed after hearing Yi Yun's words and said loudly: "Well, I have seen the overview of Jiangnan military preparations from the court. The soldiers reported to the court in Jiashan County are indeed zero, and they did not receive a copper coupon from the court..." He said this, deliberately paused and said: "I want to ask the prince another question, how many personal soldiers of the royal family who did not receive the military pay from the court, but received the military pay from the Jiashan Prince's Mansion?"

Yi Yun flattened his mouth, Damn, I couldn't keep a low profile. This guy insisted on asking, and he had to spread his hands: "Two,500!" Last winter, Yi Yun had only nine hundred gun soldiers and nine hundred ordinary soldiers. Later, he kept engaged in trade and more and more money, so he went to Yiwu to conquer several soldiers. Now there are 1,200 musket soldiers, and there are 1,300 ordinary soldiers, totaling 2,500 soldiers.

His number was reported, and the officials immediately exclaimed: "Two,500? Can the economy of Jiashan County raise 2,500 soldiers? Could this prince be shattering three feet to raise soldiers?"

Hu Zhongxian snorted angrily and shouted at the official who said Yi Yun had shaved the ground three feet, "Shake the ground three feet? Humph, have you been to Jiashan Oasis? Do you know how prosperous Xiao Jiashan is now? You can think of it. There are thousands of ways to make money, but in your mind, you only have three feet of shaved the ground three feet of shaved the ground? I know who you are, now I know."

The governors of the seven provinces were furious and were a little powerful. They scared the official so much that he didn't even dare to open the meeting. He was ashamed and fled away.

Hu Zhongxian was too lazy to pay attention to this kind of waste. He carefully calculated the actual number of troops garrisons in Jiangnan that had just been counted, and finally came up with the answer. The total number of officers and soldiers in the entire Jiangnan country was about 50,000. However, these troops could not be sent to deal with Japanese pirates. Important cities and strongholds must have left-behind soldiers. For example, the 8,842 soldiers in Nanjing Oasis could never be sent out. In a vital place like Nanjing, at least more than 2,000 garrisons would be left, and only more than 6,000 people could be used.

The final answer was that the total number of officers and soldiers that Dameng Kingdom could mobilize was about 35,000.

"Okay, the steps to know your friends are now completed. We need to know the enemy next!" Hu Zhongxian shouted: "Does anyone know how many Japanese pirates are divided into, how many troops each are, who is their chief leader, who is the deputy leader, and where they are."

His question made the officials in the hall stunned again. No one had ever cared about this kind of question before. Everyone just kept their territory. Who cares about how many Japanese pirates have and where to move?

Hu Zhongxian shook his head!

Seeing that he was disappointed, Yi Yun was obviously extremely disappointed with the officials of the Moe Kingdom, and was quite unbearable, so he said, "I know one thing, the general nest of the Japanese pirates should be in the Dinghai District of Zhoushan Island... But I only know that this is the point, haha. In addition, I also know that Oda Eiichiro, who led the Ningbo Rebellion this time, was not a member of the Fusang court, but a retainer of the Fusang family... Fusang is now in the chaotic times of the Warring States Period, and there are many daimyos there, and no one listens to anyone, fighting everywhere. The court, that is, their emperor, has no power at all, and can only be played with by these daimyos."

Hu Zhongxian's face finally improved a little when he heard that he could tell some information about the Japanese pirates. He obviously felt very relieved. This big cute country was not all a bucket of food, but one person had a snack. He cheered up and said seriously: "Let me tell you, the general leader of the Japanese pirates is Wang Zhi, and the deputy leader is Xu Hai. These two people are actually from the big cute country. They have about 50,000 real Japanese pirates under their command, and they are the defeated warriors of Fusang. In addition, there are as many as 50,000 fake Japanese pirates. These fake Japanese are all fishermen of their country. Because they are dissatisfied with the big cute country's policy of banning the sea, they go into the sea to make Japanese pirates..."

"More than 50,000..."

"Oh my God!"

"I have only seen small groups of Japanese pirates, and I have no idea that Japanese pirates have such a huge army."

"Will you be able to conquer cities and land?"

"Oh my God, Jiangnan is over!"

The officials of Da Mengguo made a sad voice.

Most of these officials did not know that the Japanese pirates were so serious. They thought that the Japanese pirates had only a few hundred or thousands of people to make a small fuss. They never expected that the total number of Japanese pirates was as high as 55,000. This number could really be pushed to Jiangnan. Because the total number of troops stationed in Jiangnan in the Dameng Kingdom was only 50,000 after they studied it just now, and the morale and combat effectiveness of these 50,000 people were very problematic.

If you find a big plain and line up 50,000 to 50,000, the officials of the Da Mengguo will know it well and will definitely lose!

"A bunch of fools!" Hu Zhongxian was so angry that he was afraid that these guys would be like this before they even beat him. Should he still be able to drive him now?

Just when he was about to get angry.

Zhao Yunxuan suddenly said, "It's only 55,000? What a young man! My ancestors were in Changban, Dangyang, and they were fighting against a million troops alone. Why couldn't I find this opportunity? The surname Hu, please write a letter to the Japanese pirates and ask them to quickly conscript the troops and raise a million before notifying me."

Hu Zhongxian: “…”

Yi Yun: "..."

Officials: "…"

After a strange silence, the officials suddenly seemed to have found a life-saving straw and shouted at Zhao Yunxuan: "Yes, Prince Jinling is here, Prince Jinling is here, so we are afraid of nothing..."

"King Jinling can fight against a million troops..."

"White horse and silver spear are unparalleled in the world!"

"Please protect!"

Seeing these idiot-like officials, Hu Zhongxian could only smile bitterly. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the officials seizing the life-saving straw, Hu Zhongxian shouted: "Okay, don't be so silly, are you men? With the Prince of Jinling here, you all have a strong spirit and do it well. Under the leadership of King Jinling, we can definitely defeat the Japanese pirates this time... Now we will start the meeting and formulate detailed and specific tactics."
