Whale Falls and Becomes a God

Chapter 77 Six Wonderful Women
"I see……"

Xiao Ying suddenly realized something and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "What new army? They're just civilians being coerced! At most, they're young and strong civilians!"

When Xiao Ying collected food and supplies before, although he did not disturb the people, he still swept through all the forces, big and small, in Jiangdu.

Whether it is weapons and armor, or iron and copper ores, they are basically controlled by large and small forces, and ordinary people can only use them for family use at most.

Xiao Ying didn't dare to say that he had collected all the metal in Jiangdu, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that he had collected 70% to 80%.

Even after exhausting all their efforts, they were able to arm only a few hundred thousand elite soldiers. The subsequent nearly half a million new troops could only be temporarily equipped with ordinary weapons and leather armor, cloth armor, cotton armor and other armaments, and this was in the rich Jiangdu.

Not to mention the rebels, the fact that they were able to equip themselves with all the weapons was a testament to the extraordinary ability of King Liang Shen Faxing, not to mention the armor!

"Your Highness is wise! He saw the truth with one word. Those rebels are indeed... not half, but at least a small portion are just young and strong civilians. Whether they have received proper training is even a question!"

Mrs. Ronghua Cai Shuilan's eyes lit up as she praised, her radiance so radiant that many ministers in the hall couldn't help but look at her sideways.

However, after careful consideration, the ministers found it difficult to refute what King Jingwu said.

King Shangliang expanded his army frantically and "recruited" so many soldiers in a short period of time, which was much more than the Jiangdu with abundant supplies. This was not reasonable at all.

Unless Prince Shangliang also has a magical method similar to Prince Jingwu's, there won't be enough time for formal training, let alone armaments!

"Your Majesty! I intend to take the initiative and attack, showcasing our military might and shocking all directions!"

Without waiting for the ministers to discuss a strategy for fighting, Xiao Ying bowed and asked Empress Xiao for instructions.

"Take the initiative?"

Empress Xiao raised her eyebrows and asked with a look of surprise and worry, then quickly pressed the issue, "Does Prince Jingwu mean to... go out of the city to fight?"

"Yes!" Xiao Ying responded without hesitation and confidently.

"what?!"

"Leaving the city on your own initiative?"

"Isn't that inappropriate?"

The ministers were surprised, and some of them couldn't help but exclaim.

You know, until yesterday, all the ministers and countless people in the city were still worried that Jiangdu would not be able to stop the invasion of the rebel king.

Only one day had passed, and Prince Jingwu didn't even think of taking advantage of the strategic location of the city, but instead wanted to attack first?
The civil and military officials did not distrust the army and King Jingwu, but they were a little unable to react!
"Your Highness, please understand! Although our army has more victories than defeats, and our chances of victory are extremely high! However, if we go out of the city to fight, casualties are inevitable. Following us are the Jianghuai Army, the Fengming Army, and numerous bandits. Our army simply cannot afford these casualties!"

The eldest daughter of the King Kong Martial Arts School, who is temporarily serving as the Minister of Justice... Liu Qianqing, could not help but step out and bow to give advice.

"The Minister of Justice has overestimated the rebels! How could they inflict so many casualties on our side? It would be better to take this opportunity to train our troops!"

Xiao Ying thought for a moment, then raised his right hand and confidently replied, "As the saying goes, three months of training is not as good as a bloody battle! There aren't many opportunities like this to train the troops easily!"

"This……"

Liu Qianqing and many ministers in the hall were stunned. They didn't expect Prince Jingwu to say that.

Facing a million-strong army, King Jingwu was not afraid at all and was actually thinking of using the powerful enemy to train his army?
What a big heart it takes!
However, what King Jingwu said was not wrong. Looking at the whole world, including Jiangnan, is there any army more weak, superficial and unsuitable for military training than the current Shangliang Army?
Although the world was vast and the population was booming due to the vitality of heaven and earth, the practice of cultivation was prevalent, and the resources were abundant, the thirty-six rebel kings each claimed to have a million soldiers, which was also the standard threshold for rebel king-level forces.

However, a million-level battle is still quite rare! If you miss this opportunity, you may never find such a weak million-level enemy again!
Thousands of people fill the fields, and tens of thousands of people fill the city.

When the army exceeds one million, a qualitative change will occur. It is not just about the iron-blooded aura, the limit of commanding troops, the size of the space, etc. But more importantly, it is a problem of logistics and supply. It is not that there are not enough people, but that there is not enough to support them!
Take Jiangdu as an example. It claims to have a population of hundreds of millions, but in reality, including the floating population, it is only tens of millions, and the elderly, women, children, outsiders, etc. are also included.

However, even if Empress Xiao and Xiao Ying truly wanted to raise an army of one million, it would still be quite easy. Even tens of millions wouldn't be impossible, but the question was, could they afford it? Not to mention the daily food consumption, they might not even have enough weapons!

"Prelude!"

Empress Xiao's thoughts were as quick as lightning. Without waiting for the ministers to say anything, she responded decisively and forcefully. After a pause, she looked down at the ministers in the hall and ordered:

"This battle is for training the troops and to deter others. All units must give their all and cooperate fully. Violators will be punished severely..."

At this point, Empress Xiao soothed him and continued, "Of course, our army will win!"

"Here!"

"Our army will win!"

Influenced by Empress Xiao, all the civil and military officials responded excitedly, and some even shouted out loud!

This is the rarity of a million-level scale, and it has a huge impact in all aspects.

Even if the Sui army, which has now passed the initial training, wants to go out of the city to fight, it can only dispatch 500,000 troops at most, and it will need the full cooperation of the three provinces and six departments and countless people, which will cost immeasurable amounts of money, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed.

Speaking of which, it’s worth mentioning that…

In the Sui Dynasty in Jiangdu today, the heads of the six ministries of the court are all women, and they are beautiful and charming beauties.

When the news was announced to Jiangdu, it caused a huge uproar, with the entire city debunking it. Many people cursed, accused, and slandered the Jiangdu court. I believe the news would soon spread throughout the world...

Such a shocking act will surely go down in history, perhaps becoming a curse or a legend for all eternity!

Fortunately, everyone knows that the current Jiangdu court is headed by Empress Xiao, who is recognized as the most extraordinary woman in the world and the most outstanding mother of the country. It is human nature to value women. In addition, the six ministers all have noble and special status, and they are already quite famous and prestigious and have extraordinary backgrounds.

Therefore, although there are many heated discussions, it can be barely accepted for the time being, and there have not been any overly strong protests or unrest. Many people are waiting to see the show and then decide how to react.

However, after a few days, Jiangdu quickly stabilized, the six ministries were safe and smooth, and it was obviously much better than before. There were still heated discussions, but the number of people who were pessimistic, abusive, and slanderous was obviously decreasing. On the contrary, there were more and more people who supported, praised, and sang the praises!

Now six...

The Minister of Personnel is Lady Xuanhua Chen Yiqing, and the fused star soul is the famous official Feng Deyi.

The Minister of War is Madam Ronghua Cai Shuilan, and the fused star soul is the famous general Du Junchao.

The Minister of Justice is Liu Qianqing, the eldest daughter of the King Kong Martial Arts School, and the fused star soul is the famous minister Xiao Ju.
