More children, more blessings, starting from marrying a wife to fight for world hegemony

Chapter 166

At this time, Lu Chen was actually a little angry.

Lu Chen is not a fool, why did he stay in Tianguang City for more than a month, and the Northern Prince's Mansion didn't send him a maid, but now he sent him a maid?
It was obvious that someone had tipped off the news that he was not doing well in Tianguang City, that's why someone from the Northern Prince's Mansion sent him a maid to take care of him.

Those people who tipped off the news were really afraid that he would suffer in Tianguang City because he was a prince?

Can only say not necessarily.

Lu Chen also heard some rumors these days, some soldiers from Beijun commented that he transferred Bai Qingqing to another army camp, and did not even keep women around.

The lord doesn't keep any women around, so that their soldiers don't even dare to touch the women who come to the barracks to buy themselves.

This made Lu Chen a little suspicious, whether someone wanted to let him start, and then they could follow suit, so that they would not have any pressure in their hearts.

Seeing that Lu Chen was angry, Mu Changtian instantly realized what was wrong with him, so he immediately knelt down and said, "My lord, it was the minister who asked someone to bring a message to the princess and told her about your life in the military camp. I have committed a crime, please punish me." !"

Hearing Mu Changtian's words, Lu Chen laughed inwardly, and he knew that someone had tipped off the news.

Lu Chen said at this time: "General Mu, this time I don't care about it, but I will not be an example."

"Get up."

Mu Changtian immediately said, "Thank you, my lord, for your forgiveness."

After the words fell, Mu Changtian stood up. After Mu Changtian got up, Lu Chen continued: "Recently, I found out that there are many women in Tianguang City. I don't know if you know about it."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Changtian instantly understood what Lu Chen meant. Lu Chen had just stated clearly that women like military prostitutes were not allowed to appear in the barracks from now on.

Although those women who came to Tianguang City were not military prostitutes, their purpose of coming to Tianguang City was to sell themselves. As long as the soldiers gave them money, they would spend the night with the soldiers. It could be said that they were no different from military prostitutes.

Mu Changtian immediately said: "Your Majesty, I will send people to drive those women out of Tianguang City later!"

Lu Chen continued: "Just taking this opportunity, I will say something clearly. When you go back later, you will also tell the soldiers what I said. The army of the king must be strict in military discipline. When it comes to the battlefield, all the soldiers must be killed. Focus on the war, don't always think about eating, drinking and having fun."

"Of course, this is not only for the soldiers, but also for you."

At this time, Mu Changtian said: "My lord, I understand your thoughts, but there are mixed soldiers in the army. It may not be easy to make them obey orders completely and prevent them from finding women."

Hearing Mu Changtian's words, Lu Chen was not surprised at all. What Mu Changtian said was right, there are all kinds of people in the Beijun army now, which is completely different from the army Lu Chen imagined.

At this moment, Lu Chen looked at Mu Changtian and asked, "General Mu, what do you think of my king's black cavalry?"

Mu Changtian said: "Orders and orders are prohibited, and military discipline is strict."

Lu Chen said with a smile: "Since the black cavalry can do it, can't the Beijun army do it?"

This……

Mu Changtian thought about it, and this is true, but in this way, the army will be rectified, and many soldiers will probably be eliminated by then.

Lu Chen continued: "This king intends to build a new army with strict military discipline after this war is over. In the future, soldiers with criminal records, criminals, or refugees will not be allowed to join this king's new army. .”

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Li Feng reminded: "My lord, there are many refugees in Beijun. If the refugees are not recruited into the army, those refugees will have nowhere to go. If they gather together, they may easily cause trouble."

Since ancient times, there have been many prisoners or refugees in the army. In the eyes of the emperor, those prisoners and refugees are cannon fodder for war and consumables, so it is perfect to let them go to the battlefield.

If Beijun does not recruit refugees into the army, once there are more refugees, it will have a great impact on the security of Beijun.

Lu Chen said lightly: "General Li's consideration is not unreasonable, but this king has already found a place for those refugees."

Hearing this, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but didn't say anything.

They probably already guessed what the good place Lu Chen said was.

The construction of the straight road in North County has already begun, and a large amount of coal mines are also being mined. These all require labor. The number of refugees in North County is nothing compared to the labor gap in North County.

At this time, Lu Chen continued: "The thinking of the army must be changed. Everyone cannot be wanted. If the army is full of hooligans, how can the common people trust my king's army?"

"If the common people don't even trust the army under the king, how can they trust the king? The army in Beijun is tied to the king. If it is damaged, it will be damaged, and it will be prosperous."

"If the atmosphere in the army has always been impetuous, and when you join the army, you always want to get promoted and get rich, not to defend your home and country. It's good for such an army to win a battle. If there is a little setback, the first thing the soldiers think of is themselves. At that time, the entire army will lose its combat effectiveness in an instant, and this king does not want to see his army collapsed by the enemy in his lifetime."

At this time, everyone in Mu Changtian was listening to Lu Chen's speech quietly, and they were all a little surprised that Lu Chen, a prince who stayed in the palace every day, still had such an opinion on the construction of the army.

Lu Chen continued: "General Mu, you will be responsible for the construction of the new army in Beijun from now on. Remember my king's words, the soldiers recruited by the new army must be the best people, and the construction of the new army must be on par with the black cavalry. , all the unhealthy tendencies in the barracks before are not allowed to reappear."

Mu Changtian immediately said: "Yes, my lord!"

Lu Chen got up from his seat at this time, "Okay, let's stop here today, I go to the city wall to get some ventilation, you guys think about what I said just now, and think about the construction of the new army in Beijun in the future."

After the words were finished, Lu Chen left the room, and everyone said in unison: "Farewell, my lord!"

After Lu Chen left, the generals in the room looked at me and I looked at yours. After a while, Mu Jingwu said: "Father, the prince just said that the new army will recruit the best people in the future. Isn't it just consumption, if all the outstanding talents are wiped out, won't there be some hooligans left in Beijun in the future?"

Lu Chen's concept is still a little ahead of this era. Although the army of Daxia is also emphasizing strict military discipline, no matter how much it is emphasized verbally, it is difficult for the army of Daxia to follow orders and prohibitions like the black cavalry.

It can be said that the Black Cavalry is the most loyal and disciplined army that Mu Changtian has seen. The regular army in Beijun has no way to compare with the Black Cavalry.

And what Mu Jingwu said is correct. From the perspective of the ruler and the high-level officials of the court, fighting means killing people, so it is better to drag those prisoners and refugees to fight. In this way, the prisoners will kill them It doesn't hurt either.

But Lu Chen said that the best people should enter the barracks as soldiers.

Mu Changtian thought for a moment, then said, "I probably understand what the prince means."

Hearing Mu Changtian's words, everyone looked at Mu Changtian, hoping that he could clarify their doubts. Few of the people present understood Lu Chen's thoughts. They were now wondering why the prince had such thoughts.

Mu Changtian stroked his beard, and then said, "My lord is probably preparing for that position by rectifying the barracks!"

Hearing this, everyone was startled.

that location?

Although Mu Changtian didn't say it clearly, they also heard what position Mu Changtian mentioned, which was obviously the throne.

Mu Changtian continued to analyze: "The military discipline of the prince's army is very poor, and they have done a lot of things like burning, killing and looting. This also makes the common people distrust the prince's army, thinking that those soldiers are no different from bandits."

"The prince also said just now that he is tied to the army of Beijun. Whatever the army does will eventually affect his reputation."

"That's why the prince wants to rectify the barracks so that there will be no more rogues in the army in Beijun in the future, so that the common people can trust the army in his hands."

"Think about it, if one day, when the Northern King's army has strict discipline and never burns, kills, or loots, when they attack an enemy country, the people of the enemy country hear that the Northern King's army has strict military discipline and never burns, kills, or loots. How would you choose?"

Mu Changtian's words awakened the dreamer, and everyone in the room realized that they all seemed to understand Lu Chen's intentions.

Although Mu Changtian assumed that he was attacking an enemy country, everyone knew that it would not be easy for the King of the North to obtain the throne, and civil war might break out in Great Xia one day.

If the Northern King's army, which has strict discipline and will not burn, kill or loot, appears on the land of other vassals, the people in other counties will definitely welcome them.

Not all ordinary people have access to Bei Wang, and they don't necessarily know what the real Bei Wang is like.

But the army of the Northern King will definitely contact the common people, and the common people can probably tell what kind of king the Northern King is from the army of the Northern King.

If a civil war really breaks out in Great Xia, will the people in a place welcome the army with strict military discipline and never burn, kill or loot, or will they welcome the bandit soldiers of other feudal lords?It seemed like a no-brainer.

Mu Changtian continued: "In fact, there is another advantage of the prince's approach. If the hooligans don't enter the barracks, it will be easier to rectify military discipline. Now most of the troubles in the barracks are those who have committed crimes, or Those three teachings and nine streams."

"The imperial army has also been emphasizing strict military discipline, but since His Majesty ascended the throne, no matter how much he has rectified the barracks, there is still little effect. This is mainly due to the problem of the origin of the soldiers who make up the army."

"If there are only one or two rogues in an army, then these two black sheep will not be able to make waves in the face of strict military discipline, but if there are a group of rogues in an army No matter how much you emphasize military discipline, it is useless, this is the same as the protection of officials from the upper family in the court."

Speaking of this, Mu Changtian not only sighed: "My lord's method is really wonderful! Why didn't I think of selecting soldiers from the background of soldiers before."

"I can't wait to see the combat effectiveness of the new army."

Hearing Mu Changtian's analysis, the other generals in the room had expectations for the new army. At the same time, they also admired Lu Chen even more. They admired him for seeing the crux of the Great Xia army at once. They had never Thought about these.

You must know that Bei Wang is only sixteen or seventeen years old this year, and he rarely leads troops to fight, so he has been staying in the barracks for the past month.

Those old fritters who stayed in the barracks all year round didn't think of a good way to rectify military discipline, but Bei Wang only thought of what to do after only staying for a month.

He is worthy of being the Son of Destiny with a fairy fate!
at the same time.

city ​​wall.

Lu Chen stood in the wind and snow, looking into the distance.

At this moment, he suddenly felt the earth shaking slightly, and a hazy figure seemed to appear in the wind and snow.

Lu Chen is a master, and his perception has been greatly improved, so he was able to detect the approach of the army of the King of North Korea before anyone else on the city wall.

Seeing a blurry black shadow in the distance, the corners of Lu Chen's mouth slightly raised,

After making him wait for a full month, he finally came.

He had never waited so long for anyone.

At this time, Xiao Pengtian, who was a master, also noticed the approach of the North Korean army, and he immediately shouted: "The enemy is coming! The whole army is on alert!"

After hearing Xiao Pengtian's words, the messenger immediately beat the drum.

The next moment, the sound of drums echoed in the sky above Tianguang City. Mu Changtian and the others, who were still immersed in the influence of Lu Chen's wisdom, were instantly awakened by the sound of the drums. They hurriedly left the room and went to the tower.

At this time, all the soldiers in Tianguang City had entered the fighting state, and the soldiers on the city wall also began to carry Hong Tianlei, and soon Hong Tianlei and the catapult were already in place.

Everyone was waiting.

As the sound of horseshoes got closer, the silhouettes in the distance became clearer.

After seeing King Beixian's army, Li Feng couldn't help saying with emotion: "I didn't expect King Beixian to really come."

Although they had long heard that the King of Beixian was going south in winter, everyone kept wondering whether the King of Beixian would give up going south in the end.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and it was already snowing in Beijun, and it might be even colder on the grassland. Under such circumstances, the king of Beixian might indeed give up going south.

But the King of North Korea is still here.

With a smile on his face, Lu Chen looked at the barbarian army in the distance and said, "If he doesn't come, there will be no place to give the many gifts I prepared, so I'm afraid that he won't come."

At this time Mu Changtian asked: "My lord, Tianguang City's terrain is relatively open. If you use the thunderbolt at the beginning, it may directly scare the barbarian army back. If they want to escape, it may be difficult for us to keep them." .”

The reason why they were able to annihilate the 30 army of the Sirius King was entirely dependent on the terrain of the Wanning River Valley. After the Sirius King's army entered the Wanning River Valley, the black cavalry blocked the valley, and there were high mountains on both sides. The cavalry had nowhere to run.

But Tianguang City is different. Tianguang City is surrounded by grasslands. Once the Beixian King's army is defeated, it will be difficult to keep them with only [-] heavy cavalry and tens of thousands of regular infantry from Beijun.
