Chapter 195, the expeditionary force that sells options(1/2)

Pandora's box was opened and could never be closed again. The power of role models is powerful. Feng Qingyang's breakthrough innateness is a benchmark, and countless cases around him are role models.

Looking at the guy with similar cultivation levels, the exclamation after his cultivation level is beyond reassurance.

Now these guys have gained both fame and fortune, but their cultivation has gone further and they have added the title of "anti-Hu Hero".

Why can’t you break through if others can break through?

Not enough Hu people were killed!

Thinking about this answer makes you tooth pain.

On the surface, it is said that not enough Hu people were killed, and in secret, I don’t know how many people are criticizing: misconduct, lack of family and country, and national justice.

If you have a bad reputation, you will narrow your path.

Whether for fame or for cultivation, everyone has the motivation to find the bad luck of the Hu people again.

The most important thing is that the price of the Central Plains martial arts world paid a huge loss of more than 100,000 grassland cavalry before. Even a few hundred casualties could not catch up with a huge battle in the martial arts world.

In terms of the level of danger, it is still impossible to catch up with the struggles in the world. In the eyes of many people, the slap of beating the Hu people is just a soft persimmon, which is completely easy to capture.

Ordinary people in the martial arts world may not take the Hu people seriously, but the major forces in the martial arts world dare not take it lightly.

In addition to the many martial arts masters participating in the last battle, there is another reason why everyone has grasped the right to choose the battlefield.

The Eastern Chagatai Khanate raided into the inland and put itself in an unfavorable situation. Everyone can choose a favorable terrain to set up traps on their way back.

The situation is different now. If you want to go to the grassland to find the bad luck of the Hu people, the offensive and defensive momentum will change.

The endless grassland is a paradise for cavalry and the home ground for grassland people. It is not as simple as before if you want to go over to ambush and beat the slaughter.

In Yuquan Palace

As the host, Li Mu is currently having tea with a group of bigwigs in order to become a landlord.

If you observe carefully, you will find that not only the leaders of various sects, but also Buddhists and Taoist practitioners, wealthy businessmen and great merchants, and even royal people appeared.

Those who have a little knowledge can only see that this tea party is extraordinary just by looking at this special combination.

The big men who appeared here are all the leaders of a large force, and their disciples start at least four digits. If you add your subordinates, it will be fine to mobilize thousands of people.

The Buddhist and Taoist practice cannot tell the experience, but the cultivation level of the ultimate state of mind knows that they are not simple.

Although the wealthy businessmen and big businessmen are not powerful, they are all wealthy and cannot afford millions of taels and are not qualified to enter.

In fact, it can be seen from the seats that these wealthy businessmen have the lowest status here. If they were not required to be financial supporters, they would probably not have the qualifications to enter.

The representative of the royal family is the King of Qin in Guanzhong, but this prince who was arrogant in the past is now particularly approachable and has no princely airs at all. He smiles when he sees anyone.

Looking at the big guys who are usually big, and now dealing with them carefully, Li Mu couldn't help but want to laugh.

To be precise, he had already laughed out loud. With the improvement of his status, he no longer needed to look at anyone's face.

Being able to appear here in person is giving everyone a lot of face. Otherwise, if you send a fellow brother to deal with it, no one can say anything.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip. Li Mu said slowly: "I know the purpose of everyone. The killing disaster in heaven and earth is indeed a great disaster, but also a great opportunity.

For this world, for the sentient beings in China, and for ourselves, this killing disaster is imperative.

We know this principle and the enemy knows it. Since the grassland man swung his butcher knife at us first, we don’t have to be polite.

It is not that simple to just destroy the enemy on the vast grassland. With just our manpower, we obviously cannot control the huge grassland.

But I lack everything in China, but I don’t lack people. If we work together, it’s not a problem to organize an expeditionary army.”

It is inevitable that alliances are. Although the strength of the major forces is not weak, no one can be sure of facing a grassland Khanate alone.

Organizing an expeditionary force is simple, but if you really have some military knowledge, you know - "War together, gold will be thousands of miles."

If you look through history books, you will know how expensive it is to go to the grassland. The awesome Emperor Wu of Han reduced his domestic household registration by half because of his counterattack against the Huns.

The powerful Tang Dynasty also tangled with the Turks for many years. But that was just suppression, not elimination.

An empire can be dragged down, let alone a force. Even the rich Shaolin is unable to support a 100,000 army to expedition to the grassland.

One soldier fights, ten soldiers transport food. This is not a joke. When the army penetrates the grassland, it will really appear.

Perhaps starting from Jiangnan, transporting 10,000 stones of grain, and handing it to the army may not be as much as a thousand stones.

It is a joke to support war. The whereabouts of the grassland tribe are erratic. Who can guarantee that they can find it?

If you are unlucky and can't meet a tribe for several months, wouldn't the army want to eat dirt?

If it weren't for the excessive cost, Li Mu's Western Expedition Army would not have been delayed in the conscript.

It seemed as if thinking about the feasibility of Li Mu's proposal. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke for a while.

Seeing the atmosphere changing, the King of Qin, who had been smiling, suddenly said: "Real person, for the safety of all living beings in the Ming Dynasty, we have no choice but to go to the grasslands for the safety of the people in the Ming Dynasty!

But how should the expeditionary force be organized? What do you need to do? How to command? How to ensure logistics?

Please tell me the truth!"

No matter how the court fights endlessly, the royal family's goal is clear - first repel the invading grassland people and preserve their century-old foundation.

For other issues, you can wait for later.

Now is the time when the dragon and snake rise to the land. Once the grassland people break through, there are still many ambitious people in the world.

If it were not forcing the situation, Emperor Shenwu's "Enterprise Opening Order" would not have been passed smoothly. In essence, it was to lead the ambitious people outward so as not to shake their foundation.

As for the dominance of the army?

Just kidding, is the Ming Dynasty now missing soldiers?

If the court was willing, it would be fine to recruit millions of troops. But they didn't have that much money and food, and they couldn't afford to support so many people.

Whoever gains the dominance of the army will be responsible for the food, drinking, defecation and urination of the 200,000 to 300,000 people.

Even if you stay still, you have to pay millions of taels of money every year. These recruits are much more expensive than those of the garrison soldiers who bring their own dry food.

Once you conquer the grassland, it is normal to spend tens of millions a year. And the deeper you go into the grassland, the more expensive it is. The seized spoils can fill the reward, which is all God's blessing.

The Ming Dynasty already had a gold-swallowing beast on the nine sides. If you come with such a giant, you will be playing with it to death.

For the royal family, it is the most important thing to fool all forces first and solve their urgent needs in northern Xinjiang.

The imperial court could not afford it, and the Huashan faction could not afford it. In order to provide disaster relief, the Huashan faction has now sold millions of acres of land options one after another.

Now that we have to raise military expenses in the Western Expedition, we can only continue to sell land. In order to increase credibility and to increase the number of customers, it is necessary to bring together all martial arts factions.

With the cooperation of these local tyrants, the painting cake can be sold to the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, how could the gentry and merchants in the Guanghuashan faction bear this huge expense?

Looking at everyone, Li Mu smiled slightly: "I have two plans: one is that we each raise military funds to form an expeditionary force, and we will fight together only when we encounter the main force of the enemy.

The second is that everyone will raise military expenses together and form an expeditionary force. Various factions will send people to form a joint command center to jointly command the army to fight.

Of course, for these two different solutions, everyone bears different risks and the distribution of spoils is also different.

The first solution is that everyone should fight on their own and only unite at critical moments, so they can only rely on means.

The second solution is that everyone bears the risks together, so they directly allocate their interests according to the size of their respective efforts.”

After hearing Li Mu's proposal, many people muttered in their hearts: There are two options, but there is only one option.

No one is a fool. It is indeed very free to form an expeditionary force alone and has enough voice; but whether you can survive until after the war is an unknown number.

It’s okay for martial arts masters to fight guerrillas on the grassland, but they are in the same way as the grassland cavalry. Not everyone has a congenital master in charge, so they can kill the enemy commander first as soon as they come up.

Even if you organize tens of thousands of troops and meet the enemy's main force, you still cannot escape the fate of destruction.

After all, it takes time to train elite cavalry.

"The real person makes sense, and since ancient times, the risks and benefits have always been proportional to the risks. The old Taoist has not had much ambitions. My Wudang Sect chose the second plan and is willing to join forces with all of you."

Taoist Master Chongxu said freely.

Those who don’t know might be fooled directly. I really think that the Wudang Sect has no idea. Those who understand the truth know that the southern sects are really powerless.

Not only are there a lack of war horses, but also a shortage of soldiers who can get on horses. A cavalry team of ten thousand people cannot come up. You can't send infantry to the grassland to fight against the Hu people, right?

Not only Wudang, most forces do not have the strength to form an expeditionary army alone. If they show off at this time, they may become cannon fodder on the grassland.

The key is to risk the entire army being wiped out, and when they came to the grassland, they could not eat it even with their strength.

Since that's the case, let's not let it go if the Huashan Sect cooperates. At least there is a congenital master who follows the army, and everyone has a clear mind.

Even if you step into the ambush circle, you can still fight a path of blood, and there will be no tragedy of the destruction of the entire army.

...

Seeing that the major forces have expressed their opinions one after another, the most confusing thing is the Buddha Sect and Shaolin.

As the two and third largest forces in the martial arts world, these two companies are not only masters, but also monetary. If they join forces, they can also pull out a team of troops.

He looked at each other with several representatives of the Buddha Sect, and Fang Zheng wanted to curse. At this critical moment, several representatives of the Buddha Sect actually had different positions.

After a little thought, Fang Zheng made the most favorable decision for his family: "Amitabha!"

"I, Shaolin Temple, are willing to advance and retreat with all my fellow practitioners!

I just don’t know how to raise the military expenses in real people?

With the strength of our various factions, I am afraid that all the money will be lost and can only support the early expenses.
To be continued...
