I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

Chapter 36 Some People Don't Believe

But will the people agree to recruiting soldiers and buying horses?

However, since so many people did want to join the army, the four generals were still a little worried and asked, "But General, will our actions gain much support? We don't know how they will view us. What if they think we are trying to win over other forces and refuse to believe us?"

Lin Chen wanted to laugh. "Some people don't believe it, but that's not necessarily true. There are so many wars in this world, how dare they not believe it? Moreover, they are supporting the princess's forces. They are joining the princess's team and becoming soldiers under the princess's command. Then, they will continue to serve the country and receive corresponding rewards. What's wrong with this?"

Lin Chen didn't know what to say, so he could only tell them one thing, "There aren't many people serving the country right now, but if we look carefully, there are still some."

"As long as we try our best to find those with aspirations, there is still hope of winning them over and having them join our spontaneously growing team. Then, when they receive the reward later, they will actually be very happy."

After hearing what Lin Chen said, the four generals felt relieved. They originally thought that this matter was absolute, but now it seems that it has its merits. At least it will convince people because it is guaranteed and they will be rewarded. Then these people who join the army will be willing to do it, right?

The four generals looked at each other and wanted to laugh, but they said to Lin Chen, "If the general is willing to let us handle the affairs of the people, can we become great generals like you in the future?"

"It is such an honor to manage the army and the people, to teach them how to practice martial arts, how to fight, and how to defeat the enemy."

Lin Chen was also very happy after hearing this and said, "Actually, I also hope that someone under my command can take charge of these troops. After all, at this moment, no one may know how much effort I have put in to get to where I am today, but you should also know that this journey is not in vain, right?"

Lin Chen's words seemed difficult to them. After all, although the recruitment of soldiers had been approved by the princess, would the old emperor suspect that he was planning a rebellion?

It's hard to say.

Hearing the doubts of the four generals, Lin Chen was a little worried at first, but at this moment he found that they were really good at thinking and they came up with a solution in an instant.

"Actually, there's no need to worry so much about them. Even if the old emperor suspects that the princess is raising an army with the intention of rebellion, that's fine. But if this army is established and goes straight to the front line of Tianmen Pass and drives back the enemy, the old emperor will be overjoyed. How could he dare to add charges against the princess?"

"I'm afraid the prince will be the one who will add charges."

After Lin Chen's words, the four generals' thoughts became much clearer. However, they still had some questions they wanted to confirm, so they asked Lin Chen, "But General, if you want to establish this army, how many people do you plan to expand it to? After all, only by giving a definite number can we recruit troops and let those people join us, so that we can get things done."

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "Not many. Let's start with 50,000 troops, recruit 50,000, give them corresponding rewards and food subsidies, then everyone will be willing to join, right?"

Because if Lin Chen does not give subsidies to these people, there probably won’t even be people who are watching, let alone joining the army to serve the country.

But no matter what, those who serve the country will eventually be rewarded. If they have made great military achievements in the future, they will naturally be given a lot of money, and each person will also receive corresponding amounts of money.

Lin Chen was also very happy for a moment, but he still had some questions for them. "If you think that what I said is a bit superficial, then follow me back to the Imperial City, or go to Tianmen Pass, where the people gather, to recruit soldiers and expand our team first, so that others can see that we are really recruiting soldiers, not just talking about it."

They really wanted to recruit a team to fulfill their wish. After all, the princess really had no army to lead into battle, let alone be valued by the old emperor.

If the old emperor knew about this, he would probably jump in surprise. After all, when did his princess actually recruit a team of 50,000 people?

And she was fighting on the front line, which would surely shock people. The ministers in the court would also be wary and would look up to the princess from then on. After all, the princess also had soldiers under her command, which meant that she had a certain strength and could compete with the prince.

But no matter what, this is all a story for the future. I don’t know how the princess will decide the relationship with the powerful officials in the future. After all, these soldiers will all become officials in the future. If they have good military achievements, they will definitely be rewarded and given additional official positions.

But it is a bit of a headache, because the forces in the entire court are complicated, and Lin Chen doesn't know when he can wait for the princess's forces to merge and fight against the prince's forces.

After all, the prince is the truly powerful one, and the connections he has are much better than those of the princess. Moreover, the people on the prince's side are extremely powerful. For example, General Su Zheng has made many achievements under the prince.

Even the old emperor highly values ​​General Su Zheng. If the princess also has a few generals under her command, she will probably be able to dominate the court and compete with the civil and military officials in the city.

Although the princess's power has not expanded at this time, it is slowly being cultivated. With the appearance of Lin Chen, he will definitely let the princess expand a group of military forces of her own so that she will not lose to others.

Although that's what he said, Lin Chen didn't know how many soldiers the princess could recruit this time.

It would be embarrassing if only a very small number of people were recruited.

But Lin Chen felt that with the Princess's strength, she wouldn't be able to recruit only a few people. But he also didn't know what the result would be if they suddenly went among the people to recruit them to join the army.

Lin Chen was indeed hoping that the princess's name would be more famous, so that more people would be attracted when he went to assemble the army.

But no matter what, Lin Chen always puts the lives and safety of these people first. Even if he goes to the front line, he must have good skills to defeat the enemy and reduce casualties.

In this way, the compassionate money distributed can reach everyone accurately.

But no matter what, these soldiers are still very reliable. No matter what happens, they will always be on the front line.

Moreover, the people in the city also very much want to join the team. Not only can they get rewards, but they can also win glory for the country. Isn’t that good?

While thinking about it, the four generals all had their own opinions and asked Lin Chen, "But General, recruiting soldiers will definitely cost a lot of money. Where will the money come from? Could it be that the princess will give us so much money in advance?"

Lin Chen smiled. "That's not a problem. The princess is not short of money. As long as we recruit people, we will pay them a lot. After all, they are all soldiers. Of course, we can't owe them anything."
