"I'm waiting here."
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the generals in front of him, lowered his head and spit out the tea stem on the tip of his tongue.
"Since you think so highly of this person, you can leave it to Muraf to recruit people for our use.
For specific matters, you can discuss them privately with Muraf."
After hearing Young Master Liu's explanation, all the generals bowed their hands in unison.
"I obey your orders."
After Yun Chong straightened up, he cupped his hands again with a hesitant look on his face.
"His Majesty."
"Hmm? Uncle, do you have anything else to say?"
"Your Majesty, this is what my veteran is thinking about. Let's ask Muraf to help recruit people. We must have a more suitable name, right?
Otherwise, recruiting seven or eight thousand people at once would easily attract the attention of others.
Nowadays, there are quite a few spies from the Western countries lurking in the city of King Dashi.
Let's ask Murav to help recruit so many people at once, and the noise created by then will definitely not be too small.
In this way, it will most likely attract the attention of the spies hidden in the cities in the Western countries, and then they will definitely report these things to their respective courts.
In this way, the kings of the three Frankish countries are very likely to associate the matter with us.
Although there is no direct evidence to prove that we are behind everything, after something like this happens, it will definitely make Western countries wary of us.
If such a situation really occurs, it will be extremely detrimental to our future actions in the Western countries.
Therefore, I think it is better to find a suitable name in advance."
After listening to Yun Chong's clear pros and cons, Liu Mingzhi nodded silently.
"Uncle, you are right, we do need a name."
"Then, Your Majesty, what name do you think is appropriate?"
Liu Mingzhi pondered for a moment, then chuckled and said: "Building roads, mining, cultivating fields, digging rivers...etc., any suitable name, as long as a large number of manpower can be used, just find any one."
Seeing Liu Mingzhi mentioning so many ways to use a large number of manpower at once, Yun Chong nodded happily.
"Okay, okay, I understand."
"Uncle, uncle, having said that, there is one more thing you should pay attention to."
"Your Majesty, please tell me."
"My uncle's words just now gave me a wake-up call.
In order to prevent attracting the attention of those Western spies, when recruiting people, try to avoid the big food countrymen in the area around the royal city.
Even if you can avoid recruiting big cannibals, try not to recruit big cannibals.
There are so many Westerners, so it is not necessarily necessary to recruit people from big food countries.
Then, after recruiting all the people, directly arrange them in some cities far away from the Dashi King City.
If you can do something secretly, do it as secretly as possible."
"Your Majesty is wise and I will obey your orders."
Liu Mingzhi nodded and took a sip of tea, then put the tea cup directly back on the table.
"Besides what we just talked about, do you have anything else to report?"
When a group of generals heard Young Master Liu's question, they all turned their heads and looked around.
After they made sure that no one had anything to report to each other, they immediately bowed in unison.
"Go back to Your Majesty. I have nothing to report."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, then picked up the jade fan on the table and flicked it gently.
"Okay, then let's talk about other things."
"You don't have to stand any more. Sit down. Sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After all the generals thanked them in unison, they immediately dispersed towards the tables nearby.
Liu Mingzhi gently shook the Wanli Jiangshan engraved jade fan in his hand and grabbed a few nuts from the plate at hand.
After all the generals sat down one after another, Young Master Liu turned sideways and looked at Zhang Kuang.
"uncle."
"The old minister is here."
When Liu Mingzhi saw Zhang Kuang who was about to get up, he immediately held up the jade fan in his hand and pressed it down.
"You don't have to get up, just sit down and answer."
"Yes, I understand."
"Uncle, when did you lead the soldiers to fight against the Franks?
This young master only remembers that it was probably the fourth year of our Dalong Shengping period, and the specific month it was in, I can't remember at the moment."
When Zhang Kuang heard Liu Dashao's question, he immediately asked loudly: "Your Majesty, are you talking about the time when I helped Rome conquer the Franks?"
"Yes, it was that time."
Zhang Kuang nodded slightly, raised his hand to stroke the gray beard on his chin, and recalled carefully with his eyes.
Soon.
Zhang Kuang put down the palm stroking his beard and replied with a faint smile: "Your Majesty, I sent out troops in July, and the war ended on November 28th."
Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, pinched an almond and threw it into his mouth.
"In July of the fourth year of Taiping, in September of the seventh year of Taiping, before you know it, about three years have passed."
"Your Majesty, that's exactly what it is."
"Uncle, tell me, what is the strength of the Frankish army?"
"In my opinion, the Frankish army is not that powerful, and in terms of strength it is far inferior to our Dalong soldiers.
However, the armor they wear and the weapons in their hands should not be underestimated."
"Oh? Are the armors and weapons of those Frankish soldiers and horses very powerful?"
"Your Majesty, the armors worn by the Frankish soldiers and horses are quite sophisticated, protecting almost all the vital points on a soldier's body.
Some soldiers and horses even have iron masks on their helmets.
When the mask fell down, only a pair of eyes were left exposed on the entire face.
Such a mask can almost allow soldiers to ignore any oncoming arrows.
The soldiers are not afraid of the oncoming arrows, which invisibly increases their morale when charging into battle."
As Zhang Kuang spoke, he reached out to pick up the tea and moisten his throat.
"To say that their armor must be more powerful than the armor of our Dalong soldiers, that's not true.
However, there is one thing we have to admit, that is, their armor is slightly stronger than our dragon's armor in terms of protective capabilities.
When the two armies are fighting, if our Dalong soldiers don't have pumpkin hammers, maces, armor-piercing hammers... and other heavy weapons designed to deal with heavy armor, they will definitely suffer a big loss.
However, fortunately, the number of soldiers wearing this kind of armor is not very large.
For our Dalong soldiers, it can only be said to be a minor threat, not a big trouble."
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a clear expression and put the newly peeled nuts into his mouth.
"The more sophisticated the weapons, the more difficult they are to produce. This situation is the same everywhere in the world.
As long as they cannot equip this kind of armor on a large scale, there is no need for us to pay too much attention to this issue."
Hearing what Mr. Liu said, Zhang Kuang happily raised his hand.
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true."
