"What, are you scared?"
Zhao Lie looked at the expressionless people and said with a smile.
"Sir, it seems that our army needs to increase its military strength to compete with Jiannu."
Wanji grinned and replied.
"Well, it's really not easy.
The people under our army are limited.
Even if we can gather some of the refugees from the Denglai turmoil, can we reach as many as the millions of Liao people who have established slaves?"
Zhao Lie shook his head, "Yes, there are We can’t afford to resettle those refugees, and we can’t afford the money, food and transportation capacity this work requires.”
"What your Excellency said is absolutely true," Zhao Meng said with a wry smile.
"The money and food spent on resettling the Liao people in the past few years can empty out a fleet of treasure ships."
Zhao Meng now calls Zhao Lie "sir" in front of everyone.
The superior and inferior must abide by the rules, so Zhao Lie did not stop him.
Everyone was silent.
The two million silver of a treasure fleet was not enough to use, which shows how terrible the consumption was.
"Therefore, we must expand the number of Polu troops, but we cannot start with refugees.
After all, we no longer have that kind of money and food.
Fortunately, the Kong thief gave us a chance," Zhao Lie pointed to the north.
"What will happen if our army defeats the Kong thief, recaptures Denglai, and takes Denglai Dusi under his command?"
"My lord, why don't you take the general Denglai soldiers into your pocket?
That's nearly 10,000 soldiers."
Huang Hanjian said.
In his opinion, soldiers are very important.
Li Lu echoed, and he was jealous when he saw the number of seven or eight thousand soldiers in Denglai.
"Nearly ten thousand soldiers, haha, how can the emperor sleep?"
Zhao Lie smiled bitterly.
Everyone also laughed twice, and everyone knew that the emperor was suspicious of Zhao Lie.
"In this case, our army must defeat Kong Youde and seize Denglai, so that the imperial court will have to appoint you as the capital."
Tang Xianwen hit the nail on the head.
Zhao Lie nodded, "If we can control Denglai Dusi, we will have nine guards, each with three thousand troops, and nearly thirty thousand soldiers.
Including the Polu Army, there will be sixty or seventy thousand soldiers.
Although it is not the same as Jiannu, it is still enough to defeat the enemy."
Everyone started talking.
Although the Polu army was stronger, it was not enough compared to the more than 200,000 Jiannu.
It was really a decisive battle.
We still don't have enough troops.
Zhao Lie smiled and listened to everyone's discussion without saying a word.
Everyone discussed it for a long time, but there was no definite result.
"Sir, you have to tell me how to defeat the enemy with one strike."
Huang Han looked at Zhao Lie hopefully.
Everyone was looking at the leader who had led them to victory after victory.
"The Jiannu army is powerful, but it has its fatal weakness."
Zhao Lie's powerful voice echoed in the hall, and everyone immediately raised their spirits to listen.
"In order to weaken the Ming Dynasty and plunder the Ming Dynasty's population and wealth, the slaves will frequently invade the Ming Dynasty.
In this way, the slaves will divide their troops, that is, they will divide their own military strength in two, with one part guarding the house and the courtyard, and most of them entering the Ming Dynasty.
Kou Daming plundered, which left a fighting chance for our Polu army, and our army can concentrate the main force of the Polu army to defeat the main force of the invading Ming Dynasty."

Zhao Lie stated his strategy decisively.
"What you said is absolutely true, what you said is absolutely true."
Li Lu slapped the table and said.
"Sir, the slaves only invaded the Ming Dynasty once.
There has been no movement in the past two years.
It is impossible for them to invade the Ming Dynasty frequently."
Xu Hong said doubtfully.
"Haha, Lao Xu, it was useless for Jian Nu to rob gold and silver last time.
You tell me whether they will come.
If you ask me, I will see if the Ming army loses to Kong Youde one after another.
Jian Nu will have to come back and plunder.
Even Kong Youde can't defeat them.
The Ming army is so afraid of establishing slaves."
Huang Han said with disdain.
Everyone nodded.
Jiannu had tasted this sweetness, so how could he be willing to give it up?
As long as the time comes, you have to do it.
That's for sure.
It just depends on how long it takes to do it.
"In this case, my lord, it is important to defeat Kong Youde as soon as possible and recover Dengzhou."
Zhao Meng looked at Zhao Lie.
"That's it.
Jinghaiwei's two thousand troops and one thousand cavalry are not enough."
Huang Han calculated.
"Therefore, I ordered Jeju Town to dispatch a thousand cavalry and two thousand troops to Shidao to prepare for war."
Zhao Lie ordered.
"As ordered."
Li Lu stood up and responded loudly.
Li Lu glanced at Zhao Lie secretly, gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, you see the war is approaching, am I coming from Jeju to help?"
"Okay, reorganizing Beihua's army in Jeju is the first step."
Zhao Lie shook his head.
This Li Lu was indeed going crazy in Jeju.
"Sir, Beihua's army training is now complete, and I have nothing important to do in Jeju."
Li Lu said with a wilted head.
"Li Lu, I know you.
Jeju is on important ground supporting Beihua, Shidao, and Shenmi Island.
I will tell you that you will suffer in the future."
Zhao Lie nodded at him.
Li Lu sat down as promised, still a little unhappy.
Huang Han smiled happily.
Li Lu glanced at him a few times, hating him so much that Huang Han got his mother's good deeds.
"Well, it's good for Wanji to come back this time.
If you don't turn back, I will ask you to come back and tell everyone about the situation in Beihua."
Zhao Lie nodded to Wanji to talk.
"As ordered."

Wan Ji stood up and saluted Zhao Lie, then turned to everyone, "Everyone, Beihua has no major famine this year, and it can be regarded as a bumper year.
This year's commercial taxes and land taxes total 170,000 silver dollars, excluding military and political expenses.
A balance of more than 108,000 yuan can be achieved.”
Wanji's voice was loud.
Beihua has finally become a big success.
Next year, more than one million acres of land will be taxed.
This means that the land tax will double.
At the same time, more than 100,000 people will have extra money in their hands, and business taxes will also increase.
Increase, Beihua Dading.
"Following your instructions, the Beihua Government Affairs Office has purchased more than a million stones of grain.
One is for supply to Shidao for later use, and the other is for storage in Fangmao Port and Huadu in Beihua, just to welcome the refugees in Denglai."
Wanji looked at everyone with bright eyes.
"In addition, more than 4,000 Beihua troops have been trained in Jeju.
They will act according to your orders.
The Beihua fleet is now established.
There are three Tang-class battleships, ten patrol ships, and ten clippers.
We also have Beihua along the coast.
Enter the fleet patrol."
"Well, that's right.
I would have delivered Beihua to you three years ago.
Now that you have handed back a self-sufficient Beihua to me, I will credit you with your first merit."
Zhao Lie applauded, stroking his palms.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir.
Firstly, these were done in accordance with your instructions.
Secondly, Gu Wuyue, Bai Shidi, Ma Quanfu and others also contributed a lot.
I don't dare to take credit."
Wan Ji bowed.
"Well, don't worry.
You all have performed your duties and have made great contributions.
I will keep them in my heart."
Zhao Lie said with a smile.
Everyone else congratulated Zhao Lie and Wanji.
It can be said that in the past few years, Shidao Jeju, in addition to fighting with Jiannu, has tilted all its resources towards Beihua.
Beihua is Shidao's giant garrison.
Although there is no final decision today, It’s also a great success.
Zhao Lie raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "Wanji, let's talk about the Anui and Japanese on Beihua Island."
"My lord, the Japanese and the Anui people on Beihua Island are now very closely connected.
In the past, the Anui people were very careful to prevent the Japanese from invading Shisheng.
For this reason, they fought many times with each other winning and losing.
But in the past two years, the Anui people have The Nui people allowed the Japanese to enter, purchased large quantities of Japanese fine iron and weapons, and even hired Japanese warriors to train their troops."
When talking about this, Wanji's face became solemn.
"In the final analysis, it is to prepare for a rainy day to resist our army.
I have discussed with General Ma Town.
If our army marches to Shisheng, the Japanese and Anui people will form a coalition to fight.
In addition, the Japanese will probably send troops to help."

"Is it possible to control the sea between Beihua and Japan's main state so that Japan's reinforcements cannot reach it?"
Zhao Meng asked.
"Jeju's fleet has too few ships to patrol."
Wanji shook his head.
Now the Beihua Fleet is just enough to patrol the northern waters of Beihua.
Zhao Meng looked at Li Hu.
"Unless all patrol ships and clipper ships are mobilized, it is absolutely impossible."
Li Hu shook his head.
As soon as Li Hu said this, others knew that it was impossible.
Now Jeju was facing pressure from the Japanese navy to protect the Macau trade route, which would also earn 100,000 yuan a year.
There is also the collection of sea taxes.
Now this kind of work can bring nearly 100,000 yuan in income to the Polu Army every month.
It is also a major source of income for the Polu Army.
How can it be stopped.
"No matter whether the Japanese army increases its troops or not, Ten Victories must be won this year, otherwise the land needed by the large number of Denglai refugees will not be secured.
Tell Ma Quanfu, I only want Ten Victories."
Zhao Lie showed his domineering side.
As the leader, he only wanted to When an order is issued, it is up to the subordinates to complete it.
This is similar to the company's operations after the funeral.
The company's CEO is in control of the overall situation, and other specific implementations are of course completed by subordinates.
"Yes."
Wanji respectfully accepted the order.
"Sir, how about Daonan Fan in the southwest?"
Wanji asked for instructions.
"Let's keep it for now.
The military strength is still insufficient.
It is needed here in Shidao.
Jeju troops will be mobilized.
All of Beihua's troops cannot be returned to Beihua.
Some of them must be left behind.
Let's keep it for the next year."
Zhao Lie was also helpless.
Now that we are attacking on two fronts, our troops are stretched thin.
"Xu Hong, how is the reception of the refugees in Denglai going?"
Zhao Lie turned to Xu Hong.
"Sir, it is inconvenient for me, Shidao, to come forward.
Now they are all handled by businessmen such as Luo Pang, who use the excuse that their merchant fleets are needed to recruit refugees.
Currently, only 70,000 to 80,000 refugees have arrived at Shidao, and there are still 20,000 to 30,000 on the way."
Xu Hong replied.
He was also helpless.
Since Shi Dao wanted to act in secret, he couldn't be too public.
He could only let the businessmen of the Shi Dao family take action.
The obstruction of officials at all levels was enough for these people to take care of it.
Therefore, the process was really not very fast.
In addition, The transportation from central Shandong has to deal with both the rebels and the government and army systems, which consumes money and food, and the speed is not fast.

"There's no rush.
After defeating Kong Youde, there won't be many obstacles."
Zhao Lie waved his hand.
In his opinion, this day is coming soon.
"Li Hu, this military mobilization and refugee transportation require navy transport capacity.
I will not listen to other problems.
I just want you to do your best to guarantee it.
Can you."
Zhao Lie looked at Li Hu.
Li Hu smiled bitterly.
To be honest, it is very difficult, but it has to be done.
How much money has the Lord spent on navy ships?
It is really unreasonable that this matter cannot be done well. s: Thank you to I Want to Become an Immortal 588 for the reward, thank you to Wanxiu Tianxia 100 for the reward, and thank you to friends who subscribed and recommended and rewarded.
