Lin Yuanshan was numb.
He originally thought that it was outrageous enough for a group of military nobles on the border to organize private soldiers to garrison the border.
I didn't expect it to be even more outrageous.
He originally thought that the people on the border were a group of warlords with evil intentions.
However, it was not until he suggested that Mofuru inspect the border that he finally learned that
The military nobles on the border have developed into a pure smuggling merchant group.
They used money to hire foreign mercenary groups roaming around the border to attack the caravans passing by.
He was submissive to the neighboring Roland Kingdom.
"I can't take the royal capital's imperial guards to fight!"
Lin Yuanshan thought Hong Feng was too normal.
At present, Red Maple cannot even carry out military blackmail against the neighboring Roland Kingdom.
Even if he took out half of the Royal Capital Guards, there would still be less than 3,000 men.
Moreover, the royal capital's imperial guards are seriously underpaid. After deducting the old, weak, sick and disabled, it would be good if there are five or six hundred left.
If you want to scare the neighboring countries with five or six hundred people, you probably need Zhao Zilong of Changshan per capita to do it.
"Come on, let's recruit soldiers."
"What is conscription?"
Isuzu said with a surprised look on her face.
Lin Yuanshan covered his face.
He forgot that there was no conscription system in this place, and the king's way of fighting was to call on a group of local military nobles to lead people in group fights.
"How about this, in the name of the Queen, a compulsory conscription will be carried out across the country at a ratio of ten to one among the male population."
Lin Yuanshan's words were so outrageous that Isuzu even raised an objection:
"The royal family's territory is fine, but will other nobles agree to recruit soldiers from their territories?"
The territory directly under the royal family of the Red Maple Kingdom is actually not very large, otherwise it would not be possible to achieve the great miracle of "autonomous driving".
At present, Lin Yuanshan has initially taken back the steering wheel of the royal territory, but the local nobles and military nobles still live their own lives.
As the saying goes, my subjects' subjects are not my subjects.
It is more difficult to recruit soldiers from these people than to collect taxes.
"Why do we need their consent? If anyone objects, just blast him!"
If you can't even suppress domestic military rebellion, why bother with military blackmail? You might as well go back to the surface and open an amusement park!
Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, the amusement park was sold by him.
[You started the conscription system in the Red Maple Kingdom]
[Your conscription system was opposed by the domestic nobles]
[The united local nobles asked for reinforcements from the Roland Kingdom and rushed to the capital under the banner of "saving our king"]
[Along the way, all the cities in Hongfeng surrendered, and the subjects all "brought food and drink to welcome the righteous army"]
[The "Latifah Dynasty" you established is in danger for a while]
"This is treason, they should all be hanged!"
Isuzu was obviously very angry, but Lin Yuanshan was not surprised.
It is normal for local governments to oppose it, and it is even more normal for the Roland Kingdom to interfere.
I just didn't expect them to connect so quickly. I guess they must have been prepared.
Despite this, the first round of conscription attracted nearly 10,000 soldiers.
Barely enough to fight this battle.
Besides, Lin Yuanshan had no intention of putting the enemy at the gates. In these days, if a king's capital was surrounded, it would easily lose too much political prestige.
Lin Yuanshan selected 3,000 pre-trained men from among 10,000 people and prepared to launch a blocking battle against the rebels in the area near the royal capital Luarca.
The terrain there was complex, and it was difficult for the rebels' main cavalry to deploy.
Most of Lin Yuanshan's new troops were equipped with Isuzu's "magic continuous-fire smoothbore rifle", which was as good as the bolt-action rifles of the World War I era.
Due to time constraints, the small-caliber magic submachine gun has not yet been put into production, and the magic machine gun is just a prototype.
Even the twelve-pound magic artillery that was put into production could only be used by students of the Arcane University.
There is no way, the artillery has too high requirements on the quality of its soldiers.
However, since most of the students at the Arcane University are civilians, their total magic power is relatively low (their magic bloodline is thin).
In the old days, these people could only serve as magic apprentices.
But the arcane magic they've been working on lately doesn't seem to consider the total amount of magic power, but instead mainly tests calculation ability.
However, the arcane arts have not yet truly developed, so Lin Yuanshan can only select some students to serve as artillery.
As the time for the expedition drew near, in order to maintain control over the officers loyal to the royal family, Isuzu had to follow the army to fight.
So after they left, Latifa was the most powerful in the capital.
Therefore, before going out to fight, you must first stabilize the rear.
Simply put, it was to deal with Latifah who was still in a bad mood.
In the palace.
"Your Majesty, Chief Steward Lin Yuanshan has sent a letter."
"Bring it to me and see."
Latifah took the letter from Lin Yuanshan from the maid.
It reads at the top:
"The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital".
Resisting the urge to complain, she opened the envelope:
The late emperor died before he could complete his career.
"Who do you think it was because of? And he's not dead yet!"
Today the world is in turmoil, the red maple leaves are withered, this is truly a critical time for survival.
......
The Minister of State, the Vice Ministers Macaron, Tiramisu, and Yaxie are all good and honest people with loyal and pure intentions.
......
I hope that Your Majesty will entrust me with the task of defeating the rebels and restoring the country. If I fail, punish me and report to the spirit of the late emperor.
"I told you he's not dead yet..."
Stay away now, face tears, and don't know what to say.
Latifah finished reading Lin Yuanshan's letter.
"Go call him over here. Are you worried that I'll hinder you? You're underestimating me!"
Lin Yuanshan soon entered the palace.
"So you are ready to face the rebels head on?"
"Well, what are your plans, Your Majesty? Are you planning to invite the late emperor out after we leave?"
"If I really intend to do that, you will probably kill him before you leave, right?"
"Yes."
Lin Yuanshan said without any concealment.
Latifa smiled.
Recently she has been catching up on a lot of Chinese historical texts, so she felt speechless after reading "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital".
"If we invite my father back, I will probably be the first to die. I know this clearly.
But if it's just talk, you won't feel at ease.
So, I will follow you to the battle, and Isuzu will stay in the capital, how about that? "
Lin Yuanshan was a little confused about Latifah's intention, but as for him, he still hoped that the simulated object would not go to the battlefield.
After all, if someone dies, who can he find to simulate?
Moreover, if the emperor leads the army in person, it will also be able to do the greatest damage to the reputation of the rebels.
Plus, he feels more assured with Isuzu in the capital...
"I don't mean anything else. I just want to prove that I'm no worse than Isuzu in every aspect."
Latifa said as she returned the letter to Lin Yuanshan.
"You should keep this thing for yourself. I hope you don't accidentally kill me on the battlefield."
In the royal bedroom, Latifah's expression was somewhat helpless,
She was not optimistic about this war at all. She went with him out of spite, but also because if the army was defeated, she might be able to save Lin Yuanshan's life with her status as queen.
I wonder what expression will be on his face when the queen, whom he despises, saves his life.
Latifa thought so.
But at this moment, she didn't seem to understand which "king" the rebels were saving.
[You accepted Latifa's proposal]
Reward
I mentioned before that I would offer a reward, and I still owe two chapters.
200 monthly tickets plus one more chapter. I won’t mention the blades and rewards, otherwise it will always feel like inducing consumption.
I've finally finished the things I had on hand recently, and I can finally calm down and focus on the plot. Apart from the bounty, I'll try to write more when I have time. That's about it.
Chapter 161: Gancheng Story: Meeting the Enemy
As a king, Latifah had his own set of rituals when he led his troops to war.
In the feudal era, due to the lack of political credibility,
Feudal lords often maintained their military structure through complex ceremonial procedures and strict hierarchical order.
"Your Majesty, before we go to war, the first thing you need to make clear is that our current troops are 'built on sand'."
Lin Yuanshan did not provide complicated rituals for Latifah, but only brought a maple leaf royal flag symbolizing the Red Maple Royal Family.
"Don't worry, I never had any hope for this war."
Because Latifah's face was too childish and cute, in order to maintain basic royal dignity, she wore a white mask at the suggestion of Lin Yuanshan.
Of course, it was not the one in Lin Yuanshan’s arms, but another one custom-made.
At this time, Latifah, wearing a mask, was riding on a horse and chatting with Lin Yuanshan, who was leading the horse.
As the team's head coach, it was certainly not appropriate for him to ride in a carriage.
In fact, only Latifah was qualified to ride a horse, and the others, including Lin Yuanshan, marched on foot.
In the days when railway tracks were not laid across the country, marching on foot was the most common mode of travel.
Well-trained modern armies can march long distances on foot faster than horse power.
They currently do not have the ability to maintain such a rapid march without causing the organization to collapse.
Lin Yuanshan's current infantry unit is called "Dragoon", which is mainly used to confuse people.
Compared to their opponents with chaotic clothing, weapons and command systems, this unit at least has uniform blue uniforms and standard automatic magic rifles.
