Chapter Thirty-Seven: Meet All Requirements

First is the Candle Kingdom.

If he really defeats the Zhu Kingdom within a month, he will have an additional 50,000 troops after completing his mission.

Needless to say, these 50,000 troops are very deadly, and they are very likely to display extraordinary strength in the face of this group of bugs.

Obviously this is intolerable to me.

As for Xiguo, let alone that.

This is a country that can change the situation of all wars.

It can even be said that even if he defeats all other empires, as long as he loses the Xi Kingdom, he may be destroyed.

After all, Xiguo's strength is not on the same level as the others.

An army of one hundred thousand, that is a real army of one hundred thousand.

In addition, Xi Kingdom has 70,000 naval troops known as the first navy in Taihu Lake. If you want to occupy Daxia, you don't need to go through the city wall, you can come directly from Taihu Lake.

So Xia Yan believes that as long as these two big heads are dealt with, everything will be easy.

As for this, Xia Yan also believes that his arrangements are very appropriate.

As for Zhuguo, although Chen Heishan volunteered, he only gave five thousand soldiers, so it was almost impossible to complete the task.

The system only said that troops must be sent within fifteen days, but did not explain how many troops must be sent and who would lead them. The decision on this point rests with you.

As for Xiguo, let alone that.

Thirty thousand versus one hundred thousand, the key point is that those thirty thousand are still prisoners of Yu State.

What a wonderful operation!

Of course, if these 30,000 people were led by Zhuge Liang or Huo Qubing, I might still have some worries.

But who is leading the team? General Xing Daorong!

It would be nice not to run away with the soldiers then. Defeat Xiguo? That would be a dream.

Let’s not talk about the fact that I can only drink one cup of rice wine every day. Even if I could drink five jars, I wouldn’t dare to be so wishful thinking!

Thinking of this, Xia Yan became more and more convinced that there was nothing wrong with his arrangement, and it was surprisingly quiet down below.

Everyone just nodded silently, and no one spoke to object.

That’s it!

Xia Yan was ecstatic in his heart, which meant that today's decree would come true.

Now, all I have to do is wait silently for fifteen days.

As long as you declare war on the 15th before the latest date set by the system, everything will be fine.

After thinking about all this, Xia Yan felt indescribably relieved.

"Go down and get ready."

Finally, Xia Yan did not forget to say to Yuan Liyang, as if to reassure the soldiers who were going on the expedition.

"Going to war at this time is the top priority, and we must meet the requirements of all commanders."

Hearing this, Yuan Liyang's eyebrows twitched, and a bad feeling arose in his heart. His Majesty, the Emperor, undoubtedly wanted to empty my mind.

As someone who has been in charge of money for so many years, Yuan Liyang's stinginess is well known to everyone. It would be a fool's errand to try to get something from him without the emperor's permission.

But now Xia Yan has spoken and wants to meet their demands...

"Your Majesty, do you want anything?"

"It's up to you."

Xia Yan didn't bother to take care of it. He knew how much money he had in his treasury.

Even though there are at least 300,000 taels of silver in Guancheng, the daily expenses are also very huge.

There are still many refugees in Guancheng waiting for official food relief. At the same time, in addition to feeding the 50,000 orthodox army, he also needs to feed the 30,000 prisoners of the Yu Kingdom.

And since each of the 50,000-strong army requires a daily quota of thirty huazi, the daily production of millions of huazi is also an extremely huge expense.

On the other side, his "Tianxia No. 1" poker has a daily output of one thousand pairs, and the income brought by this will be 10,000 taels of silver.

Facts have proved that the policy of controlling production is very effective. Because of its scarcity and the fact that it is passed down from person to person, now everyone is looking for the "Tianxia No. 1" poker.

If anyone buys other brands of poker, it is equivalent to buying a pirated version and will be looked down upon.

And driven by businessmen from the five countries, poker has even begun to be exported to countries outside the five countries, and overall it has become a stable money tree.

At the same time, the various shops obtained by exploiting the gentry also generated hundreds of miles of income.

With a little calculation like this, we can see that although the daily money has increased, it will not be too much. After all, the expenditure is there.

Within this range, you can spend whatever you like, but it is impossible to really get anything out of your money.

If Xing Daorong wants to spend money to build a ship, let him build it!

Anyway, there are only fifteen days left, and it’s too late to cram into the situation.

It is possible to complete the construction of small ships within fifteen days, but for an empire like Xi State with huge ships, no matter how many small ships there are, it is useless.

As for a huge ship like Xiguo, how could it be built without a three-month period?

Because of this, Xia Yan was very relieved.

In the days that followed, everyone was busy preparing their own affairs.

Zhuge Liang and Huo Qubing knew that they would face a tough battle, so they purchased spears and siege equipment one after another.

The gun handles without gun heads that Xia Yan purchased before were of some use now, and it was indeed much faster to install the gun heads separately.

But both of them knew that even if they accelerated at full speed, it would never be possible to reach more than 70% of the troop equipment rate before the war started.

In other words, when the war begins, there will still be many people who are unarmed, and may even be able to pick up a few sticks on the roadside to fight with.

Di Renjie on the other side was studying the art of war carefully. From any angle, the Xuanwu Dynasty was not a weak opponent.

Its apparent military strength is secondary; its most terrifying thing is its potential military strength.

In a dynasty where all the people are martial, God knows what kind of monsters will come out.

If a random soldier can fight one against five, then how can we fight this battle...

Compared with the gloomy expressions of the three of them, the most relaxed ones were Xing Daorong and Chen Heishan.

At this moment, the two of them were drinking wine and watching beautiful women dancing in the courtyard of Chen Mansion, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Ho ho ho, I didn't expect Commander Chen to have such leisurely time watching beautiful women dancing every day!"

Xing Daorong drank so hard that his face turned red and his eyes were fixed on the girl in the courtyard.

Seeing this, Chen Heishan didn't feel displeased at all, but laughed heartily.

"After all, I was born as a military commander, so my health is normal!"

After saying this, Xing Daorong gave a thumbs up and said, "Like it!"

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Chen Heishan suddenly asked: "But General Xing, what did you ask for from Lao Yuan?"

"I asked for money to build a ship!"

"Building a ship?" Chen Heishan was stunned for a moment as soon as he said this.

"How big a boat?"

Xing Daorong thought for a moment, and then made a gesture with his hand.

"Well, it's about as big as a fishing boat."
