Chapter 699 Return to the Rebel Army

Emperor Wen probably stayed in the imperial city for a long time.

Or perhaps, he wanted to explore Yunzheng's family background.

In the next few days, Emperor Wen asked Yun Zheng to take him to see many places.

Ye Zi and Shen Luoyan were both pregnant, and Miaoyin didn't want to face Emperor Wen all day long, so Emperor Wen only asked Yun Zheng to accompany them.

In a few days, Emperor Wen visited all the coal mines, briquette workshops, cement workshops, kilns and other places.

The only good thing is that Emperor Wen did not go to the workshop where refined salt was made.

I don’t know whether Emperor Wen did it intentionally or unintentionally. This time, Emperor Wen didn’t go to see Shuobei’s army. What he went to see was basically focused on the economy and people’s livelihood.

In the end, Yun Zheng still failed to stop Emperor Wen from going to Qingbian.

Yun Zheng led his own bodyguards, and accompanied Emperor Wen to the Qing border with the imperial guards led by Zhou Dai.

On their way to Qingbian, it started to snow heavily.

Emperor Wen stood motionless on the tower at Qingbian with his hands behind his back.

With the shield of the city tower, the heavy snow in the sky could not fall on Emperor Wen.

However, the cold wind blew over, and it was still a bit cold.

Yun Zheng was worried that Emperor Wen couldn't bear the cold wind, so he immediately suggested: "Father, it's cold here, go indoors and rest!"

"It's okay, let's take a look again!"

Emperor Wen shook his head slightly and stared deeply into the distance.

Looking at Emperor Wen's appearance, Yun Zheng couldn't help but be curious.

What is this old guy looking at?

The heavy snow blocks the view and cannot be seen clearly from a hundred meters away. There is nothing interesting to see!

Seeing that Emperor Wen was unwilling to go down, Yun Zheng had no choice but to take off his cloak and put it on Emperor Wen.

"Have all the troops who went on the expedition returned?"

After a long time, Emperor Wen suddenly asked.

Yun Zheng replied: "Except for the army stationed at the Northwest Protectorate, everyone has returned."

"Then are you going to prepare the army next?" Emperor Wen asked again.

"Ah."

Yunzheng nodded and said: "The losses of the Beifu Army in this battle are not small, and they have sent a lot of troops to the Northwest Protectorate. I plan to take advantage of the winter to prepare another 20,000 standing troops! In addition, we need to prepare three more troops. Ten thousand servants join the army."

The servant army led by Fu Tianyan and Huo Gu added some prisoners after the tragic battle in Sole River Plain, and now it still maintains a strength of ten thousand people.

If he prepares another 30,000 servants and comes out, he will have 40,000 servants.

In his plan, these servant armies will be the main force in attacking Dayue Kingdom in the future!

It was precisely because Zuo Ren understood this that he chose to come back to train.

Emperor Wen's heart skipped a beat and he said in shock: "After all this preparation, even if you don't count the field soldiers, you probably have 300,000 soldiers and horses in your hands, right?"

"No way."

Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "If I count all the soldiers that can fight, there are not even 300,000 people!"

With that said, Yunzheng took inventory with Emperor Wen on the spot.

The total number of miscellaneous soldiers and horses in the Northwest Protectorate's Mansion is about 70,000.

The total number of garrison guards in the cities in Shuobei was almost 70,000.

The troops that Yu Shizhong and others withdrew were only 40,000.

There are still 20,000 reserve troops in Yanhuishan and Weibian, but these 20,000 reserve troops will soon be turned into a standing army.

No matter how you calculate this, there is still no 300,000 troops!

"Okay, don't settle accounts with me!"

Emperor Wen interrupted Yun Zheng, who was full of treasures, and said calmly: "As long as you can afford it, I won't say a word if you raise an army of millions."

Emperor Wen glanced sideways at Yunzheng, and then continued: "The name Servant Army sounds awkward. In my opinion, you might as well change Servant Army to Guiyi Army."

Return to the rebel army?

Yunzheng's eyelids suddenly twitched, and he was secretly surprised.

For a moment, he really suspected that Emperor Wen had also traveled through time.

He actually knew about the Guiyi Army?

After a moment, Yun Zheng shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind and bowed: "Thank you, Father, for the name!"

The name Guiyijun indeed sounds much better than that of the Servant Army!

If Emperor Wen hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have even thought about this issue.

"okay!"

Emperor Wen waved his hand, "I will leave in a moment, so don't stay with me. Go and do your work!"

"Father, are you leaving now?"

Yun Zheng was surprised.

"It's time for me to leave! It's not good to leave your third brother in Fuzhou all the time."

Emperor Wen said calmly: "Don't send me off. This coming and going will take a lot of time."

"This..." Yun Zheng was a little embarrassed, "I'd better send my father out of confinement!"

He really wanted to go to Yanhui Mountain Camp.

Going from Qingbian can save a lot of time.

But when Emperor Wen was about to leave, it seemed a little unreasonable for him not to send him off.

"no need!"

Emperor Wen refused directly, "You have to take Gayao to Fuzhou anyway! You still have a lot of things on your hands, don't worry about it, state affairs are important!"

Is that so?

Yunzheng hesitated for a moment and then said: "I will send my father to Gubian!"

"Fine!"

Emperor Wen didn't say much and nodded in agreement.

Move when you say it.

Soon, Emperor Wen set off for Gubian.

By the time they arrived at Gubian despite the wind and snow, it was already very late.

Yun Zheng thought Emperor Wen was going to have a good chat with him at night, but in the end, Emperor Wen had no intention of chatting with him at all.

After dinner, Emperor Wen went to rest.

In Yunzheng's opinion, Emperor Wen's behavior was somewhat abnormal.

However, Yun Zheng didn't ask any more questions.

The next morning, the wind and snow stopped.

Emperor Wen set out from Gubian early.

"Okay, don't give it away!"

Emperor Wen waved his hand to Yunzheng and said, "Do your business well. Don't worry about the wedding! Just remember to bring someone with you when the time comes! I know you will definitely fool me, but you still have to do the superficial work. made!"

"My son, I obey."

Yun Zheng laughed dryly.

He really wanted to fool Emperor Wen.

He was a little embarrassed when Emperor Wen said this.

Emperor Wen smiled and continued: "My biggest wish in this life is to visit Beihuan Royal Court. I want to go there next year! You have a lot of ideas, help me think of a way! I only have one request. , just don’t arouse the suspicion of your third brother and the ministers of the DPRK!”

Upon hearing Emperor Wen's words, Yun Zheng's face turned green, "No, Father, this..."

"Okay, that's it!"

Emperor Wen waved his hand gently, "Go ahead! I'm waiting for you in Sifang County!"

After saying that, Emperor Wen quickly boarded the carriage, giving Yun Zheng no chance to refuse.

Yun Zheng looked at the lowered curtain dumbfounded, and suddenly had the urge to rush into the carriage and fight with Emperor Wen.

Co-author, this old guy just watched it for a long time, thinking about how to run to Beihuan Royal Court in a reasonable way?

He didn't think of a way, so he just let himself think?

This old guy has finished cheating him, and the third kid is here to cheat him again?

"My dearest son... I send you my royal father's greetings!"

Yunzheng bowed and saluted, feeling depressed in his heart.

Soon, Emperor Wen's car left under the escort of everyone.

After sending Emperor Wen away, Yun Zheng should go about his own business.

Yu Shizhong and others have already escorted the prisoners back to Yanhuishan Camp.

He had to distribute the prisoners, and mainly decided on the whole army.

Now, their territory is too big.

He must ensure sufficient military strength, firstly to stabilize the internal situation, and secondly to deter other forces.

It’s nonsense to play emotional cards with forces like Beihuan!

Having enough deterrence is the way to go!

Three days later, Yunzheng led the personal guards and rushed to the Yanhuishan camp.

Today's Yanhuishan Camp is overcrowded.

The accommodation conditions of these prisoners are also very bad. Basically, there are dozens or hundreds of people crowded into one camp. In this way, some prisoners have no place to settle down. They just dig holes near the camp and stuff some hay into the holes to serve as shelter. .

Yun Zheng had no intention of caring about the well-being of these prisoners. As soon as he arrived at the camp, he summoned the generals to discuss matters...
