The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

Then everyone began to discuss how to form a coalition.

Soon, the conference room became bustling with activity, with emperors and envoys vying to express their opinions, trying to gain the greatest command power.

At this time, Ning Quan, who was far away in the capital, also received the news.

The news was brought back by spies sent by Daqian to Europe.

As early as two years ago, Jia Xu had set up an intelligence network in Europe and equipped it with a long-distance communication system.

This time, emperors from various countries gathered in London and held a secret meeting, which naturally attracted the attention of Daqian's intelligence personnel.

They found ways to get the meeting contents and pass them back.

"Hmph, a bunch of rats, do you really think a million-strong coalition army can deal with us, Daqian?"

When Ning Quan heard the news, he immediately showed a sarcastic look.

"Your Majesty, intelligence reports indicate that this million-strong army is fully equipped with new flintlock rifles. We must not underestimate the enemy."

Zhuge Liang reminded.

"Hahaha, the new flintlock rifle, isn't it more difficult for us? And ours is even more advanced than theirs."

"Can they compare with us in terms of technology?"

Ning Quan said confidently.

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. I was just reminding you."

Zhuge Liang smiled.

"Well, the reminder is correct, and we still need to be prepared."

"It will take at least two years to raise a million-strong modern army. So we still have two years."

"Prime Minister, the output of the military factory must be increased. The speed of our equipment of new flintlock rifles must be accelerated."

"In addition, we need to increase the production of artillery, bullets and shells." Ning Quan said seriously.

"Yes, I understand!"

Zhuge Liang accepted the order.

"When General Li Ji comes back, the work of forming a new army must begin immediately." Ning Quan continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, I just received news that General Li Ji left three days ago and will probably take two months to return."

Zhuge Liang replied respectfully.

"Two months is too long. To avoid wasting time, Prime Minister, you will be responsible for the preliminary work. All matters must be prepared in advance."

"Yes! Your Majesty, I obey your command!"

Zhuge Liang said with a cupped hand.

"Well, once everything is ready, if General Li Ji hasn't returned yet, then tell me and I can personally guide the training of the new recruits." Ning Quan instructed.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhuge Liang spoke again.

"Okay, it's okay. Prime Minister, you can go down first."

Ning Quan waved his hand and said.

"The minister obeys the order!"

…………

Half a month later, the first batch of 100,000 new troops arrived in the capital and were stationed in the camp outside the city.

Because Li Ji had not returned yet, Ning Quan decided to train them personally.

Ning Quan was originally a special forces soldier, and the new combat concepts were deeply rooted in his mind. Training these new recruits was like a piece of cake for him, and there was no problem at all.

Ning explained the queues, formations, shooting techniques, etc. clearly and demonstrated them personally, allowing the soldiers to learn very quickly.

I believe that within a month, the 100,000 new troops will be able to initially form combat effectiveness.

At the same time, Huo Qubing led his army into the Rakshasa Kingdom and launched an all-out attack on both the rebels and the emperor's army.

The rebels and the troops loyal to the emperor had been fighting for months and were already exhausted.

Moreover, both sides were preparing to cease fire and withdraw due to food and grass problems.

Who would have expected that the Daqian army would suddenly arrive at this time.

In the first battle, both the rebels and the emperor's army suffered heavy losses, with more than 500,000 casualties and only 30,000 to 40,000 remnants escaping.

The rebels collapsed instantly, and the Rakshasa Emperor was forced to retreat to the capital.

Huo Qubing pursued the victory, marching for 300 miles and arriving at the capital city right after them.

At this time, the Rakshasa capital was short of troops, with less than 50,000 soldiers left.

Without saying a word, Huo Qubing led his army to attack, broke through the city that day, and occupied the entire capital.

The Rakshasa Emperor and all the princes and nobles were captured!

But capturing the Luosha Emperor and taking over the Luosha capital does not mean that Daqian has completely occupied the Luosha Empire.

There are still nobles and dukes from all over the country who have not been taken down.

Next, Huo Qubing immediately divided his troops and attacked to sweep away the various Rakshasa principalities and local nobles.

For a time, the entire Rakshasa Empire was shrouded in war clouds, and it fell into complete chaos.

.........

At the same time, Ning Quan also received the news.

"Hahaha, well done! General Huo never lets me down."

"You are worthy of being the most powerful general in Daqian."

"Now that most of the territory of the Rakshasa Empire has fallen into the hands of Daqian, the fall of the Rakshasa Empire is only a matter of time."

Ning Quan laughed loudly.

With the successful annexation of Luosha Kingdom, Daqian's strength has grown even stronger.

"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty."

"Your Majesty, I have ordered the preparation of officials to set out and prepare to take over the Rakshasa Kingdom immediately."

Zhuge Liang said respectfully.

"good very good!"

"We've captured Luosha. Now we just have to wait for General Li Ji to come back and train the new army."

“Once the training is complete, in two years it will be time for us to enter Europe.”

Ning Quan said with great pride.

"The minister obeys the order!"

……

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Huo Qubing led his army to attack from all sides and completely occupied all the territories of the Rakshasa Kingdom.

The political situation of the Rakshasa Empire also stabilized with the rapid arrival of Daqian officials.

On the other hand, Li Ji finally returned from South America.

As soon as he returned to the capital, he was received by Ning Quan

"I will see your Majesty at last!"

Li Ji knelt on one knee in front of Ning Quan and saluted respectfully.

"General Li, please don't be polite. You've worked hard in South America during this period!"

"It is my duty and honor to serve Your Majesty."

Li Ji replied.

"Hahaha, General Li, you're too polite."

"I believe you know why I summoned you back this time, right?"

Ning Quan asked.

"Your Majesty, I understand that Your Majesty wants me to train new troops."

"Well, it's good that you know. You've also seen the power of new weapons. New armies are the trend of the times."

"So it's urgent to build a new type of army."

"This time, I have decided to let you take on this important task. You must train diligently and strive to train a stronger army for me."

Ning Quan said solemnly.

"Yes, Your Majesty! I obey your command!"

Li Ji said solemnly.

"I'm afraid you don't know much about the new army."

"This is some of my thoughts on the new army. If you read it carefully, it may be helpful to you."

Ning Quan said this and took out a notebook and handed it to Li Ji.

This is some information about the new army that he spent several days summarizing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Li Ji thanked him solemnly and took the notes and put them away.

"The new army camp is just outside the capital, ten miles away. I have nothing to do during this period, so I will accompany you to train the new army. We can also discuss research with each other."

Ning Quan stood up and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Ji said gratefully.
