Volume 2 Chapter 150: Generals whose profession is to wage war

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The torrent composed of the imperial army's mechanical creations covered the entire sky, rolling forward. Anyone standing in front of this rolling iron flow would feel waves of despair.  People standing on the ground are often shocked by the smoke and dust that covers the sky and the iron current rolling forward, but ignore the brilliance that is spreading out from time to time in the torrent.  Above this steel forest, a treasure ship is rising and falling in the torrent, like a bright pearl. Even such a cold iron flow cannot cover up its brilliance. Looking up from the ground, it seems to be composed of stars.  It's like a treasure ship.  This treasure ship is six feet long, three feet wide, and two feet high. The bottom is as flat as a mirror, the hull is streamlined, and the middle is slightly wider. A white-fronted tiger with dazzling eyes is on the bow, ready to devour. On both sides, hundreds of tigers roar proudly in the mountains and forests.  Jumping above it, the entire treasure ship is covered with tanned tiger skin. Three-story pavilions stand on the ship. Strings of bright lanterns are hung on it, shooting out a dazzling light. In this tiger treasure ship, Chi Shuai and Ying Wuhou are sitting upright.  At the top of the hall, everyone was wearing a suit of armor and looked majestic. There were hundreds of staff-looking people running back and forth around the hall, making it a busy scene.  In the center of the hall, there is a one-foot-square sand table, but it is not a static sand table for ordinary deductions, but a dynamic one. What is displayed on the sand table is a high-altitude bird's-eye view of the current day. From time to time, a staff member reaches out to a certain position on the sand table.  If you hold it, the bird's-eye view in that direction will be enlarged, and every plant and tree will appear on it, as if you are on the scene.  "This Qiankun Academy is really powerful. It can even produce such an artifact. In the past, although my army dominated the sky, the situation between the enemy and ourselves was clear from a bird's eye view. But after all, we can only know roughly, but now we can clearly see that it is really an artifact of war."  Ah." Chishuai looked at the glimmering light on the sand table. It was clear at a glance that there was no blind spot in the entire Tianyuan battlefield, and he couldn't help but sigh.  "Hehe, brother, this is a mechanical creation just made by Qiankun Academy. If it weren't for the fact that I have a close relationship with the veteran from Qiankun Academy. Qiankun Academy also intends to test the performance of this object on the battlefield. I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for such a magical weapon.  I don¡¯t know when I¡¯ll be able to use it!¡± When Marquis Yingwu heard Chi Shuai sighing like this, he replied with a proud face and a blush on his face. He didn¡¯t remember the face of the scoundrel who was begging for nothing in Qiankun Academy.  "Brother is right. The border is relatively peaceful now. The princes in the capital think that the Celestial Dynasty is invincible. If you want to recuperate, it is best to put the horse in Nanshan and put the hilt in the warehouse. Take away our military power, such a battlefield artifact,  If you hadn't been on good terms with that veteran from Qiankun Academy, I'm afraid those gentlemen would have taken advantage of you and refused to let me wait!" As Chi Shuai spoke, he felt his anger welling up, and he made a loud "snap" sound.  He patted the armrest of the chair and continued in a hateful voice: "These ministers are thinking of convenience, but they don't know that although there is nothing going on at the border, the Rong people have forgotten the lessons learned two hundred years ago and are already getting ready to take action. The neighboring small country of Tso'er is also  It¡¯s not very peaceful. Isn¡¯t it the same as abandoning one¡¯s martial arts at this time? It¡¯s really ridiculous!¡±  How can we be at peace when we are released? Such remarks are really empty talk and will harm the country. They should be punished!" When the Yingwu Marquis on the side heard Chi Shuai's angry words, he also agreed and even put a big hat on the princes.  Hat, its meaning is obvious.  In fact, both Chishuai and Yingwuhou know that these are just superficial words and should not be taken seriously. The Huawu Empire has been fighting for years, and it has only stopped in the past two years. In the final analysis, it lies with the generals who hold the military power.  Soldiers have the duty to defend the country. This is the founder of the country and Taizu's definition of a soldier. From then on, the half-peasant and half-military garrison system dissipated in the vast land of the Central Continent, and was replaced by professional soldiers.  Professional soldiers who are not engaged in production but are dedicated to war.  The Huawu Empire's army is not engaged in production. The annual military expenditure remains high and the cost is huge. If there is no war, the army will naturally be useless. The reason why it has been dormant in the past two years is only because the emperor has allocated a large amount of resources to build the floating city.  They were strictly warned not to cause trouble at the border, otherwise how could those generals make life easier for the small neighboring countries?  Although the Rong tribe in the north has not had as many wars as in previous years and has even become somewhat unified in recent years, in a great war two hundred years ago, the general's flag of the Huawu Empire was planted in the middle of the grassland. The erection of the Baili Jingguan was not in vain. Those  The evil wolf whose spine was broken has long since lost the courage to bare his teeth at the Huawu Empire!  As for other small countries, if the Huawu Empire didn't need vassal states, they would have already paid tribute to the Huawu Empire during successive years of conquests. The border troops did a lot of plundering the wealth of these countries.  The army is not engaged in production, so naturally it can only use war to prove its value. Otherwise, an army that only consumes and does not produce will not escape the fate of being disarmed.  Any hand holdingNo general in power is willing to be disarmed, because that means that his power will be reduced and his vested interests will be greatly reduced. This is something that no general in a high position wants to see.  The struggle between civil servants and military generals has always been an eternal topic in the court. The generals hold military power and are naturally domineering. The civil servants naturally hope that the generals will have less military power. The opponents will have fewer chips, and the game will naturally be equal to themselves.  The chips have increased.  Marquis Yingwu is the commander-in-chief of the Yulin Army and the emperor's bodyguard when he was in Bailongyu uniform. Even if the princes in the court had the intention, they would not have the guts to reach out to the Yulin Army and abolish the emperor's personal army?  Do you still want your head?  Relatively speaking, Chishuai appears to be more dangerous. He is neither a frontier army guarding the border nor an old member of the emperor. The Red Eagle Guards are purely stationed in Tianhu Province to intimidate locals. However, such a well-equipped professional army  , used to suppress a province, but it is overkill. If the army is reduced, the possibility of abolishing the Red Eagle Guard is very high.  What's more, Chi Shuai's status is special. Although the current grand master, Wuhou Hong Xuanji, who controls the world's military power, is his biological father, he regards him as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. He always wants to get rid of him and then quickly. Once the army is really abolished, then  The Red Eagle Guard will definitely bear the brunt.  Although Marquis Yingwu could rest easy, he was a member of the military system after all. Naturally, he did not want the status of the military attache group that had dominated the court for thousands of years to be shaken, so he naturally agreed with Chishuai's statement.  And in order to test Chishuai's thoughts, he even put his hat on the princes in the court to test his tone. Even if the princes knew what he said today, there would be nothing to do with him. Who dares to touch him, the sworn brother of the emperor?  However, Chi Shuai was not a fool. He did not pick up what Marquis Yingwu said. Instead, he looked like he had discovered something he was interested in. He stretched out his hand and grabbed a corner of the sand table. I don¡¯t know if this scratch was a coincidence or God¡¯s will.  The figures of Wang Zhong and his party were exposed on the enlarged image of the sand table (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
