Chapter 966 Ten summoning cards, forming five legions!

As the end of the year approaches, Ning Fan is rarely free. Now he doesn't have to worry about the operation of Dayu. The official documents sent to the mansion are directly handed over to Zhuge Liang.

After all, in the field of internal affairs, Kong Ming alone is enough.

There is also news from Huainan that this year's treasury is full again. The trade with several large tribes in the southern barbarians has made a lot of money in exchange for a lot of horses, gold and silver.

With Wuyou taking charge of the government again, Xiaolongnu and Lianxing Yaoyue also personally went to Guanshan, but the situation is still unclear.

There is also news from the northern border. Huo Qubing directly smashed the three royal courts of the eight tribes in Mobei and forced the eight tribes in Mobei to sign the "Mobei Treaty", which is to pay a compensation of 10 million taels of silver, which will be paid off in five years, 10,000 war horses, 1,000 good horses, and 50 sweat-blood horses.

And sent 100,000 strong men to Dayu, and now they have been brought to the northern border to build the Great Wall.

And generals such as Yue Fei also returned to Beijing one after another. This year's end is not only a big year, but also a pre-war deployment for Dayu to launch a full-scale war next year.

Therefore, all the generals were very excited and had been looking forward to it for a long time.

"Now I have nearly four million points of luck in my hand, which means that it is enough to summon three legendary generals and thirty top generals or civil officials!"

"Is this the feeling of becoming a nouveau riche overnight?"

"System, give me ten top summoning cards first, five each for civil and military officials!"

"Yes, master!"

Ning Fan's face was full of expectation, ten consecutive draws!

"Congratulations, master, for obtaining the famous general of the Qin Dynasty, Wang Jian!"

"Congratulations, master, for obtaining the famous official of the Han Dynasty, Xiao He!"

"Congratulations, master, for obtaining the general of the Ming Dynasty, Chang Yuchun!"

"Congratulations, master, for obtaining the famous general of the Song Dynasty, Han Shizhong!"

"Congratulations, master, for obtaining the famous general of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da!"

"Congratulations, master..."

As ten golden lights turned into human figures from the long river of time and space, Ning Fan's face also showed a touch of excitement. Is it so cool?

If he had such a team when he just crossed over, I am afraid that the world would be peaceful now! !

"System, open the system mall for me!"

Ning Fan opened the system mall directly. After the system mall was upgraded, the page also changed. The first line was three golden grids, and the price was all above one million luck points!

Saint Summoning Card 3 million points!

Population Summoning Card 1 million points: Increase the population by one million.

Soldier Expansion Card 1 million points: Can expand any 5-star or lower troop to 300,000!

Ning Fan did not continue to look down, his eyes were looking straight at these three golden grids, and his face was also a bit tangled.

What is Dayu most lacking now?

Population!

Years of war and the Hu Nu's southward march have caused the population of Jiangbei to drop sharply. Now if they want to continue to expand the army, the population has become a limitation!

Soldier Expansion Card is also a good thing, but it is a pity that it is limited to less than five stars!

Is it worth it?

Ning Fan hesitated for a moment. Another way to put it is to expand the Xianzhen Camp, or the Great Halberd Warriors, Qin Rui Warriors, and the Han Iron Cavalry to 300,000?

Damn, it must be worth it!

"System, exchange a population summon card and a military expansion card for me!"

"Yes, Master!"

"Exchange successful, do you want to use it immediately?"

"Yes!"

"Master, please choose the area where the population will land!"

Ning Fan watched the light screen in front of him turn into a map, which could be freely allocated to increase the population. After a moment of hesitation, he said softly: "Increase the population of the counties in Jiangbei by 500,000, the population of the capital area by 300,000, and the population of Huainan by 200,000!"

"Use successfully, the selected area will increase the population by one million within three months, and will carry half a year's rations, will reclaim wasteland on its own, and bring its own farm tools!"

"All able-bodied men?"

Ning Fan was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have forgotten to choose the gender just now. What should I do?

"Yes!"

"Okay, at worst I can just rob some women from outside."

"System, continue to use the military expansion card!"

"Please choose the military expansion!"

"The Beggar Army!"

Ning Fan did not choose to expand the Qin Ruishi or the Han Iron Cavalry, because the Han Iron Cavalry and Qin Ruishi both have 100,000 soldiers, and the Beggar Army has just experienced a bloody battle. Although the soldiers have been replenished, it is difficult to restore the peak combat power in a short time!

Although 300,000 Han Iron Cavalry is indeed very tempting, Dayu is not short of cavalry now, let alone war horses. On one side, there are Nanman to supply blood, and on the other side, there is Mobei to blackmail at any time. War horses are really not scarce!

"Done!"

Ning Fan's face showed a bit of excitement, and he shouted to the outside of the hall.

"Come here!"

"Yes!"

"Call Kong Ming, Shang Yang, Chen Gong, Jia Xu and others to discuss matters!"

"Yes!"

Ning Fan paced alone in the hall, and at the same time, he was reflecting on himself. With his current strength, he could protect himself with force. After all, he did not need to fight in person, and he had the inner cultivation, which was enough to gain a foothold.

In terms of governance, he did not need to lead troops to fight, and naturally did not need to be promoted urgently. However, in terms of politics, Ning Fan could feel that he was a little overwhelmed. Although he had the foresight of later generations, when he was really in the torrent of this great world, it was indeed difficult to take care of all aspects.

Being an emperor is very tiring, especially as the territory continues to expand and various contradictions emerge.

"My lord, several adults are here."

"Please!"

Ning Fan sat in the main seat, and a moment later, Shang Yang and his group walked into the hall together.

"Meet my lord."

"No need to be polite!"

Ning Fan looked around, first looked at Zhuge Liang, and said softly: "Kong Ming, the new year is approaching, and I have summoned the generals from all over to come back to the court."

"But now, my Dayu's troops are mainly composed of the Four Realms Army. Apart from the Four Realms Army, the White Robe Army, the Beggar Army, the Black Armor Cavalry, etc. all fight on their own!"

"If I want to integrate things, do you have any advice?"

After hearing Ning Fan's words, Zhuge Liang and others also fell into deep thought. They naturally understood what their lord meant. Now Dayu's military units are too complicated. There are already more than ten summoned units alone.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment and said softly: "My lord, now I, Dayu, have many talented commanders. Last year, the military system was reformed and a four-border army was established. But now that the three borders are stable, there is no need to send heavy troops to guard it."

"I suggest reorganizing the military system!"

"Um!"

Ning Fan nodded and said softly: "This is also what Gu means. Mr. Shang, what do you suggest?"

"Lord!"

Shang Yang slightly cupped his hands and muttered: "The threat in Mobei, the northern border, has been eradicated. Naturally, there is no need for all of Yue Shuai's 300,000 northern border troops to be stationed in the northern border."

"I suggest that we set up a main force, a border guard army, a guard army in the middle of the capital, and a local county army system!"

"The main force mainly attacks cities and seizes territory, the border guards defend strategic fortresses, and the local county soldiers suppress local bandits. At the same time, the border guards can focus on farming and supplement with fighting!"

"If the main force encounters a shortage of troops, the border guards can supplement it!"

"The border guard army is short of soldiers, so the local army will replenish it!"

"At the same time, the local government soldiers focus on production and training as a supplement. Our tax system in Dayu is in chaos. I suggest that we carry out tax reform at the same time!"

Ning Fan listened to Shang Yang's suggestion and fell into deep thought for a long time. Li Ru also slightly handed over his hand: "Your Highness, Shang Jun's advice is reasonable. The Southern Border Army, the Northern Border Army, and the Eastern Border Army have now lost the meaning of guarding the border!"

"Mobei and Southern Barbarians have all bowed to me, Dayu, and Donghuai has been included in my territory, Dayu!"

"Only in the Western Region, there will be a full-scale war next year. Dayan is the main battlefield of my Dayu, and from then on, Hu Nu, the Western Regions, and the foreign races on the East China Sea!"

"I, the Great Yu, can build up a main force and change from guarding the border to attacking!"

"Can!"

Ning Fan nodded, an idea flashed in his mind, and there was a bit of expectation in his eyes: "In this case, I have decided to establish five main legions, expand the territory for my Dayu, and fight in the north and south!"

"First, the Great Qin Army, with Bai Qi as its commander, Meng Tian as deputy commander, and Zhang Han as its deputy commanders. Qin Rui Shi and Tie Ying Rui Shi will be included in it, with a full strength of 300,000!"

"Second, the Han Army. The commander-in-chief Huo Qubing, the deputy commanders Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun will form one hundred thousand Han cavalry, and they will be trapped in the camp. White-horse followers, Euphorbia warriors, and tiger and leopard cavalry will be included in it, with a full strength of three hundred thousand!"

"Third, the Tang Army, with Li Jing as the commander and Xue Li and Qin Qiong as deputy commanders, will incorporate the Xuanjia Army and the Modao Army into it, with a total strength of 300,000!"

"The fourth one is the Great Song Army. The commander is Yue Fei, and the deputy commanders are Yang Zaixing and Han Shizhong. The Beiwei Army, the Yuejia Army, and the White Robe Army will be included in it, with a total strength of 300,000!"

"The fifth one is the Chinese Army. The commander is Wu Qi, and the deputy commanders are Chen Qingzhi and Ran Min. Wei Wu soldiers and the begging army are included in it, with a full strength of 500,000!"

"The five main legions, a total of 1.8 million troops, are the main legions of my Dayu!"

Hearing Ning Fan's words, everyone present was shocked. Even Dian Wei, the No. 1 bodyguard, was instantly excited. In the name of all the Chinese dynasties, wouldn't such a legion be domineering?

"Lord, is there something in the 1.8 million army..."

Chen Gong frowned. There were 1.8 million troops. Even at the peak of the Han Dynasty, there were not so many soldiers and horses. With Yu's current national power, could he really afford it?

Li Ru also set his sights on Zhuge Liang. Only he knew whether he could afford it.

Ning Fan said with a smile: "Yesterday, news came from Mengde that the first batch of grain and grass from Japan, totaling five million stones, is being delivered!"

"Huo Shuai also sent news that the battle in Mobei is full of cattle and sheep, and the herds of cattle and sheep need the help of the barbarians in Mobei to bring them back to the court!"

"Besides, Prime Minister Lin Hunu and his party also gained a lot this time!"

"No matter what happens, Guanshan is the granary and Huainan is the blood supply. In the spring of next year, high-yielding crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes will be sown throughout Dayu!"

After hearing Ning Fan's words, everyone looked at each other. One country's soldiers, four countries' supplies, is it a bit exaggerated?

What to do if there is no food?

Borrow it from Japan!

What should I do if I run out of meat?

Get it from Mobei!

What should I do if I don’t have a war horse?

Get it from Nanman!

He dare not give it?

"Everyone, I would like to remind you once again that times have changed, and ideas and concepts will also change. I, Dayu, am not yet a country of etiquette!"

"There is no need for heaven to come to the country, let alone all the nations to come to the country!"

"We are a great power. Before unification, we followed the colonial route."

"What we have, we use for ourselves; what we don't have, others have!"

"But, lord, how can we use what others have?"

Ning Fan's thoughts and ideas constantly impacted Chen Gong, an orthodox Confucian scholar, and it was a little difficult to understand for a while!

"Haha, you won't let us use it?"

"We can go grab it!"

"Is it possible that these five legions are kept alone just to enjoy the flowers?"

"Forehead!"

Even Zhuge Liang had a wry smile on his face. Only Li Ru and Jia Xu looked at each other with happy expressions on their faces.

The Lord's idea is really to their liking, but the means are still too merciful. They should capture the Ying people and the barbarians and return them to slavery, and end slavery!

"Lord, tax reform..."

Shang Yang looked at Ning Fan, hesitant to speak. Now that Dayu is about to go to war, reforming the tax system at this time is undoubtedly a move against the noble families in various places, which is bound to cause their fierce resistance!

But if there is no reform, if Dayu falls into a protracted war, will the treasury be unable to support it?

"I heard that Your Highness once implemented a tax system in Huainan, called the land tax?"

"Yes!"

Ning Fan nodded. To be honest, he didn't know much about the reforms in ancient times. The only superficial knowledge he got was from books, whether it was the tax system of the Han Dynasty, or the rent and labor service of the Tang Dynasty, and the later two-tax system.

All have great drawbacks, and Wang Anshi's reform later can also reflect that the resistance to reform in this era is unimaginable!

The reason is simple. This era is dominated by aristocratic families and landlords, and the reform first touched the interests of this largest group.

Wang Anshi took a big step, but now, it is not easy for Dayu to reform the tax system on a large scale.

The reason why Huainan's system of equalizing the land tax was so successful was that when Ning Fan pacified Huainan, he cleaned up all the ruling class of the King of Huai.

The resistance was naturally very small, and Huainan had a small territory and strong military suppression. In addition, the reform was simple and Ning Fan had a reputation, so the progress was very smooth.

But is it really that easy to replicate it in Dayu's entire territory?

"Let's put this matter on hold for now!"

"However, you can also prepare. First, come up with a set of reform regulations. I will find you some capable helpers later!"

"Yes!"

Shang Yang bowed, Ning Fan slowly stood up and looked at Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, is Lin Qiushi back?"

"My lord, he will arrive in Beijing soon!"

"Well..."

Ning Fan's eyes flickered, and he said calmly: "Prime Minister Lin has made great contributions to my Dayu this time, and he should be rewarded. However, Prime Minister Lin is old after all, and my Dayu should be replaced by you young people."

"We can't let Prime Minister Lin become ill like Mr. Shen. When he is old enough to enjoy his old age, let him rest more!"

"Yes!"

"I want to set up a cabinet in the court. After the military system is changed, let's discuss it again!"

Ning Fan took the lead in giving a shot of prevention, and everyone was also stunned. This cabinet system is not the first time that the lord has mentioned it. Now, it seems that it will be put on the agenda?

"Okay, everyone, leave now!"

"Take a good rest. Tomorrow morning, inform the court officials about the military system reform and discuss it. The Secretariat will come up with the rules!"

"Yes!"

...

[The Ming Dynasty also has it, arrange it immediately! 】
