The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

After the Spring Festival, the entire Youzhou moved at high speed.

Qin Qiong recruited elite soldiers from Youzhou, Jizhou, and Bingzhou to serve as King Wu's forbidden army.

King Wu's forbidden army was divided into light cavalry and heavy cavalry.

Recruit 90,000 people and add dragon cavalry guards, a total of 100,000 people, to form the light cavalry dragon cavalry army.

Recruit another 100,000 to form the Tiance army for the heavy cavalry!

In addition, the heavy armored guards were transformed into heavy armored troops, and their strength was expanded from the original 20,000 to 50,000.

The Modao Guards reorganized the Modao Army, and their strength was expanded from 100,000 to 150,000.

The Shenjian Guards were reorganized into the Shenjian Battalion, and their strength was expanded to 10,000.

Li Changqing had just defeated the Turks and his prestige was at its peak.

When the people heard that King Wu was recruiting troops, they all participated enthusiastically.

Therefore, military expansion and restructuring are proceeding steadily and smoothly.

However, within a few days, an important problem arose.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui came to Li Changqing and said with mournful faces:

"King Wu, we are recruiting troops on a large scale and building King Wu's palace at the same time. A lot of silver is needed. But nowadays, money is tight!"

One hundred thousand dragon cavalry troops, each equipped with spears, horizontal swords, bows and arrows, armor, and war horses, are extremely expensive!

One hundred thousand Tiance troops are heavily equipped cavalry, and they are as fierce as tanks on the battlefield. Although they are only equipped with spears, Armor and war horses.

But the armor of heavy cavalry is extremely expensive.

Not only the soldiers are heavily armored, but also the horses under them!

Because the formation of heavy cavalry requires extremely high requirements for war horses. If the Turks are not wiped out, the Turks must be captured. Without hundreds of thousands of Turkic war horses, even with a lot of money, they could not form heavy cavalry.

The rest of the Modao Army and the Heavy Armor Army needed to be equipped with armor and weapons.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui did a rough calculation. If they follow the Li Changqing's idea of ​​forming four armies and one battalion would require an astronomical amount of silver!

Li Changqing asked:"With the current inventory, how many troops can be formed?

Fang Xuanling replied:"The biggest expense is for the war horses." Next is the heavy armor of the Tiance Army, and then the spears, Mo Dao, and army pay.

Our current money can only supply weapons and equipment for the Dragon Cavalry Army and the Tiance Army.

As for the weapons and armor of the Modao Army, the Heavy Armor Army, the bows and arrows of the Shenjian Battalion, and the military salaries of the 410,000 troops before and after, none of them can be solved."

Li Changqing said:"For the current plan, we can only collect money from the Chang'an treasury."

As the side by side king, Li Changqing has the same rights as the emperor and can use the treasury.

Fang Xuanling sighed:"The Tang Dynasty was newly established and the treasury was empty. There is not much money in the treasury. Using Chang'an's treasury money and selling a batch of cattle and sheep seized from the Turks can still solve the problem of weapons and equipment for the three armies.

But the military pay of the army……"

On the side, Du Ruhui, who had been silent, suddenly said:"If we can get the support of Qi Wang and the Shandong family, the military salary problem can be solved."

The family controls the economy and talents of this era.

Every family has an extremely rich foundation.

If not, how could they support warlords and princes in their struggle for hegemony in troubled times?

Li Changqing pondered for a moment and said:"Tomorrow, I will set off to the Lanling Xiao family to retrieve the imperial seal. At that time, I will discuss with the Xiao family in detail about sponsoring military pay." The

Lanling Xiao family has been passed down since the Western Han Dynasty.

The Southern Dynasties [Qi Dynasty] and [Liang Dynasty], which were consecutive dynasties in Chinese history, were both founded by this family.

In later generations, ten of the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty came from the Lanling Xiao family.

He was named the Emperor of the Two Dynasties and Prime Minister of the Nine Xiaos.

Ouyang Xiu once praised the Xiao family in Lanling:"Mingde and Mingde are facing each other, and the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty. The prosperity of the family is unprecedented in ancient times." The

Xiao family is rooted in the land of Jiuzhou in China. It is intricate and has a deep heritage that is difficult to fathom.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were overjoyed when they heard this,"If we can get help from the Xiao family in Lanling, why worry about military pay!"

The next day, Li Changqing led fifty light cavalry and went to the Xiao family in Lanling with a letter written by Empress Xiao.

The imperial seal was a serious matter and he or Li Xiuning had to pick it up in person.

After the former Sui Dynasty and Xiao Dynasty, Yang Guang's daughter was married to Li Changqing, and the Lanling Xiao family naturally became a relative of King Wu.

This time I went to Lanling, first to get the jade seal, and second to get support from the Xiao family.

If the Xiao family doesn't understand current affairs, Li Changqing doesn't mind using a large army to force him!

……

Chang'an, Tai Chi Hall.

Changsun Wuji hurried over and asked,"King Qin has urgently summoned Wuji. Is there anything unusual about King Wu?"

If it hadn't been about King Wu, Li Shimin would never have urgently summoned Changsun Wuji late at night.

Li Shimin's face was full of gloom, and he said:"King Wu recruited troops in Youzhou, Jizhou, and Bingzhou. He organized a hundred thousand dragon cavalry army, a hundred thousand Tiance army, a hundred and fifty thousand Mo sword army, a fifty thousand heavy armor army, and ten thousand gods. Arrow camp."

Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji's pupils narrowed sharply, and his face was full of shock.

If Li Changqing had 410,000 troops, who in the world could stop him?

Li Shimin was afraid that he would not dare to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor before Li Yuan died!

Li Shimin said in a deep voice:"In addition, King Wu also sent people to Chang'an to obtain silver from the treasury for military expenditures. Auxiliary machine, what should I do?" Li Changqing not only expanded his army to 410,000, They also need to take silver from Chang'an's treasury. This made Li Shimin extremely upset and depressed. He regarded all the money in the treasury as his own.

Now Li Changqing wants to take it, but unfortunately he can't stop it.

He went crazy when he thought that Li Changqing would use his own money to form an army of 410,000.

At the same time, he was extremely panicked.

Once Li Changqing empties the treasury, he forms an invincible army. Then his plan to deploy millions of troops to confront Li Changqing was shattered.

At this time, he wished he could ascend the throne immediately and stop Li Changqing in the name of the emperor.

But he had no soldiers and horses and could not fight against Li Changqing's army. Once he ascends the throne, he will be a stranger to him.

Changsun Wuji's expression kept changing and he was silent for a long time before he slowly said:

"King Wu’s intention is an imperial edict. No matter whether he expands the army or recruits the national treasury, we can't stop him. For the current plan, we still have to use the fishing boat of the world to discredit King Wu and ruin his reputation.

Recently, the King of Qin secretly contacted the Taiyuan Wang family of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, and asked them to guide the fishing boat and publicize King Wu's brutal massacre of Turkic women and children, old and young, and crowned King Wu a tyrant.

Now, King Wu is recruiting troops in Youzhou, Jizhou, and Bingzhou. This can be used to promote King Wu's military use, and his reputation as a tyrant is worthy of his name!"
