But...at this moment, everyone was dumbfounded after hearing that Xia Yan was planning to abandon nearby Xidan and go to distant Frei.
However, due to Xia Yan's strange behavior yesterday and his previous vow to support Xia Yan, everyone was either silent or whispering.
"Your Majesty... that... the Frey Kingdom keeps launching wars because of the poor living environment of its empire. Even if we occupy such a place, it will be of no use."
"That's right, Your Majesty, that place is really useless, and if we want to attack Frei Country, we have to bypass Xidan. If the six cities in the north of Xidan come to attack us from both sides, wouldn't we be very passive?"
"Yes, yes, your Majesty, if we want to play, there is no need to bring 400,000 people there, right~~We don't want this shabby place~~"
"Yeah, yeah, your majesty, be good, come out as soon as possible with the first personality~~That place is not a good place~~"
A group of people forced themselves to smile and persuade each other. Although they had just told themselves that they would not reject Xia Yan's ideas, this was too outrageous.
To be fair, this group of people would not be so surprised even if Xia Yan asked for an army of 400,000 to be divided into ten armies of 40,000 each to attack ten places in the south.
After all, there are many weak countries in the south of Daxia.
These small countries are in the same borderland as Daxia in the past. Although they can live without disasters, they cannot become strong.
In the final analysis, it is because the population is too small to have a strong military.
Many countries only have a population of about 100,000 people, and there are only 30,000 young and middle-aged males. What can such a small number of people do?
So if Xia Yan said that he would launch a war against these countries, it would actually help them.
After all, wherever Daxia goes to today, he will help the area develop and rebuild his homeland, which is definitely harmful to the city.
But, what is the place Xia Yan is going to?
Frey Country, this is Frey Country! A place where birds don’t shit!
If the birds hadn't pooped, they wouldn't have been desperately trying to escape from their original territory and invade everywhere.
According to incomplete statistics, today's Frei Kingdom is vast and boundless, and it is as big as seven or eight of the current Daxia Dynasties.
But what's the use of taking such a shabby place?
And just when everyone felt that their dissuasion had moved the world, Xia Yan spoke again.
"Well, I know that the Frey Nation is of no use, so I plan to give the land that the Frey Nation conquered to the Divine Phoenix Nation, so that I can repay their kindness for helping us attack Qingshan City."
…
There was a moment of silence, and you could hear a needle drop above the huge super cousin.
Many people opened their mouths and blinked their eyes. At this moment, they had forgotten how to speak.
Obviously, when the shock reaches a certain level, the mind will go blank.
But there is a limit after all. After a long period of silence, an unprecedented roar began to erupt in the hall.
"Damn it!! Is your brain flooded??!!"
"Damn it, this guy is actually planning to let 400,000 people attack a useless place and then give it to other countries!"
"Damn it, I've been reading books for seventy years, and I've never seen a god like you!"
"Damn, where's my heirloom dagger? I'm going to stab this guy again!!"
"Damn it, you are a fool, you are a fool, this move is so stupid that it has never been seen before!!!"
In the past, only the seven-member group would start complaining under certain circumstances, but this time, several other civil servants below also spoke in low voices.
It's not a problem to not speak for a long time in court.
What's more, in this situation, it wouldn't be a problem to lend a little help.
So, under the fierce bombardment of seven people and the whispers of a dozen people, Xia Yan frowned slightly.
Why is there such a big reaction? If this is the case, it seems that I can’t defeat them by myself.
This won't work. It's not good for me to be alone every time. I have to find some comrades.
Xia Yan soon found his comrades and looked at He Baobao and the other generals.
That’s right, it’s you!
Xia Yan first waved his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said.
"Let's not talk about the goal of this expedition. Let's talk about the plan of this expedition first. The quantity of all materials and equipment for this expedition will be determined by Prime Minister He. As long as the generals of this expedition return victoriously, they will all be promoted to rank and title, and the commander will reward them with silver.
Five thousand taels, and all the lieutenants will be rewarded with two thousand taels of silver."
Hearing this, He Shen was the first to be unable to sit still. His excited little hands began to move up and down, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
In the past, although he would have a hand in the materials sent out by the Ministry of Revenue, it was different back then.
Households are allocated strictly according to the needs of the battlefield, so what you take will not be too exaggerated.
But now if the quantity is determined by yourself, then I won’t say anything.
It's freezing cold in Frey Country. It's not too much for everyone to spend a tael of silver to buy a top-quality fur, right?
Well, 400,000 people, that’s 400,000 taels of silver!!
As for what the soldiers will get when the time comes is straw, does that have anything to do with me?
In addition, plus some miscellaneous items such as hot water bottles and other cold-resistant items needed by the soldiers, isn't this all moving money?
As for the soldiers not having anything to withstand the cold? That’s not the case. I will try my best to provide the soldiers with a steady stream of hot water. With hot water, they will not suffer from the cold!
Thinking of this, He Shen's little hands with nowhere to rest began to touch here and there, as if countless mountains of gold and silver had been piled in front of him.
He felt an indescribable feeling of relief in his heart. At this moment, he had decided that even if he risked his life, he would help Xia Yan win this place in the expedition!
On the other side, the generals almost jumped after hearing this reward.
Damn it, five thousand taels! My annual salary is only a few hundred taels, but I actually won a battle with five thousand taels!!
If you miss this opportunity, you would be a fool! You must fight for it!!
"Your Majesty, I believe that the Frei Kingdom has always been a hidden danger in the north. Such a cancer will have to be eliminated sooner or later. It is better to eliminate it as soon as possible. The time is right to kill it now!"
As expected, Qi Xian was the first to speak. He widened his eyes as if full of expectation and seemed to be speaking righteously, but in fact he was so angry that he almost shed tears.
After Qi Xun, Lin Li also went directly out of the queue.
"Your Majesty, the general is also willing to go!"
"Your Majesty, the general is also willing to go!!"
All of a sudden, five or six military generals came to the center and knelt down on one knee, expressing their enthusiasm.
Not to mention the coach’s five thousand taels, even the lieutenant’s three thousand taels would be fine!
