e. Get up."looking at Li Chen's hand close at hand, Su Jinpa got up gently, but did not take the palm. "Thank you, your Highness."Li Chen withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "Why, when we met a f...Chapter 1354 someone drinks the blood of soldiers

when the sky is still gray, the rooster is already announcing dawn.

for the vast majority of the people of Haojing, today is just an ordinary day, nothing special.

there are a few well-informed people who know that a big shot has come to Haojing. Several people were killed at the city gate last night, and there was no silence near the barracks where Wei was stationed all night.

but no one knows exactly what happened.

upheaval always happens and ends in the ignorance of ordinary people.

the more closely you hide things from ordinary people, the bigger they tend to be.

when it was dawn and the government began to work, the people could feel that the focus of the work of the government in Gansu and Shaanxi had become the collection of materials and the deployment of troops, with the aim of helping the crescent moon pass.

it's just that except that prices will rise slightly, it has nothing to do with ordinary people.

will not affect their lives at least for a short time.

by this time, Li Chen's carriage had left Haojing.

"your Highness, will they obey honestly"

in the carriage, Wan Jiaojiao asked curiously while beating Li Chen's legs.

Li Chen, who was reading the official document, chuckled and said, "they will be more obedient and hard-working than the officials in the capital. Do you believe it"

Wan Jiaojiao smiled brightly and said, "what your Highness said, the maidservant believes it all."

at this time, Xu Wei asked for a meeting outside.

the carriage was spacious enough, so Li Chen asked Xu Wei to report in the carriage.

"your Highness, a total of 20, 000 troops were deployed at the Haojing Acropolis, all of which were arranged last night, and several generals were killed in humiliation."

Li Chen said faintly, "it's better to kill those who are disobedient than to live to get in the way."

Xu Wei clasped his fist and continued, "in addition, more than 76000 available troops have been gathered throughout Gansu and Shaanxi. In accordance with your Highness's request, apart from those left to defend local security, 50, 000 troops have been raised, and we can set out today to assist the crescent pass."

nodded and Li Chen asked, "in your opinion, how many of these 50, 000 troops are real fighters"

Xu Wei was silent for a moment, and then replied, "I haven't seen any soldiers from other guard stations, so I don't dare to make random guesses, but from the point of view of the 20,000 troops of Haojing Guard, there will be no more than 60% of them. According to such a ratio, only 30,000 of those 50, 000 troops can really go to war."

Li Chen frowned and said, "this is the case in Haojing and Gansu and Shaanxi, so it can be seen that the same is true in other parts of the country. With so much military expenditure allocated by the imperial court every year, the daily pay, training, and equipment costs are like running water, so 60% of the fighting soldiers have been produced"

Xu Wei said cautiously, "your Highness, after all, the place is not as good as the capital and the soldiers of the garrison, and its greater duty is to protect the local peace. Unlike the field army, the field army is under the direct jurisdiction of the court, and its greatest duty is to defend the frontiers of various places. In fact, it is understandable."

Li Chenmian said impassively: "that being the case, local security offices should not receive the same military pay and military expenditure as the field army."

Xu Wei braved his head and said, "in fact, your Highness, they do take different things."

Li Chen raised his eyebrow and said in a deep voice, "but in terms of military expenditure submitted from various places, it is treated exactly the same as the field army."

Xu Wei dared not say.

the following words are too big for him to touch.

Xu Wei didn't say anything, but Li Chen already understood what he meant.

"are you saying that there are people in the army who drink soldiers' blood"out my life. I've sent someone to treat it."Li Chen said with relief: "you can rest assured that I have asked your father to come into the palace tomorrow, and you will see him tomorrow. As for your m...
