Happy Emperor

Chapter 114: Quantity is quality, not quantity

Hearing Lin Tian say this.

Huang Xu's eyes froze for a moment, but he regained his composure after a short while.

He knew what Emperor Li was referring to, but he didn't expect that Emperor Li also knew of the existence of "that".

"Could it be that Emperor Li was talking about the Rakshasa people?"

Huang Xu thought to himself, but quickly rejected his idea.

The Rakshasa people have not appeared for a hundred years. He had only heard from his father that there seemed to be a powerful country in the distant land to the north of Beihuan.

The country was called Rakshasa. They had once fought a war with China, and after that war China was divided into eight countries.

However, it is said that the Rakshasa also suffered heavy losses, resulting in it not appearing for a hundred years.

This story has been passed down from generation to generation among the military commanders of Daxia, but no one has actually seen anyone from the Rakshasa Kingdom.

Therefore, most people believe that this is a strong man fabricated by the ancestors in order to inspire the younger generations!

"Alas, Emperor Li must be dissatisfied with my age and doesn't want me to go to the front line."

Huang Xu smiled bitterly in his heart, but soon felt relieved.

As long as Huang Tianba is there, their Huang family will not decline.

Then he saluted and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I am here, and Ning Feng Province is here!"

Lin Hua's expression didn't change much.

He just looked at Huang Xu curiously, not knowing what Emperor Li meant by what he had just said.

He had known for a long time that he would not go to the front line. Although he was the Minister of War, he was actually a temporary replacement for this position and was mostly engaged in civil service work.

He could still manage these soldiers in the rear, but once he arrived at the front line, he would not be able to command the vast army.

Therefore, Emperor Li's arrangement can be said to be the most reasonable.

"Your Majesty, I will stand with General Huang Xu in solidarity and await your triumphant return in Shengjing."

"it is good."

Lin Tian looked at Huang Xu and Lin Hua, two elderly men with gray hair on their temples, and said, "Although I didn't send you to the front lines, I will never forget your contributions in the rear."

"Thank you Lord for your grace!"

"Remember, everyone present here, when Daxia is unified, you will all become our top contributors."

"Thank you Lord, I will follow you till death!"

Everyone immediately knelt down and shouted in unison.

The South Study seemed to be filled with an invisible 'power' at this moment.

This 'power' emanates from every person, some are strong and some are weak, but they are not mutually exclusive.

Finally, they all gathered around Lin Tian.

Lin Tian then amplified this "power" geometrically and returned it back to the bodies of several people.

Generals have no seeds at all, and men should strive for self-improvement.

Since ancient times, which man has not had the passion to achieve success on the battlefield?

"An Bilie, Qi Mengchan, you stay here. The rest of you can go back and prepare!"

After a while, Lin Tian tried hard to get out of his excitement and spoke to the others in a deep voice.

"Huang Xu, wait a moment too!"

Lin Tian seemed to remember something. After looking at Qi Mengchan, he asked Huang Xu to stay as well.

He said sincerely, "Qimengchan, I thought about it all night yesterday."

"If you wish, you may return to Ningfeng Province with Huang Xu now, and then return to Beihuan. I promise that as long as you Beihuan do not offend Daxia again, all past events will be wiped clean, and I will continue to help you Beihuan overcome difficulties. I do not ask you to repay my kindness, but I only hope that you will not repay my kindness with hatred."

"Besides, I believe you will also learn the lesson of betraying Daxia twice and know the consequences..."

"I......"

Qi Mengchan's eyebrows trembled slightly. She didn't expect that Emperor Li would give her freedom.

Although the meaning of Emperor Li's final threat is self-evident.

But compared to the fact that Daxia was still willing to help Beihuan under such circumstances, what did that matter?

After all, Bei Huan has been treacherous time and time again.

This Emperor Li has a heart as broad as the sea!

Qi Mengchan couldn't help but sigh.

If the Wolf Lords of Beihuan throughout the ages had such a broad mind, how could the current situation have occurred?

The emperor of a great country is indeed not comparable to a tribe like their Beihuan.

Lin Tian waved his hand at Qi Mengchan who wanted to kneel down to express his gratitude again.

"As for your suggestion of Beihuan surrendering to Daxia and becoming a vassal state, we can discuss this again once I can return to Shengjing alive."

"Your Majesty, Mengchan is willing to follow you to unify Daxia!"

Qi Mengchan ignored Emperor Li's signal and knelt down again.

Sincerely said: "I believe that Daxia can only survive under your rule, and our Beihuan can continue to exist."

"Are you sure? You might die in battle if you follow me!"

"If I die in battle, I hope Your Majesty will treat us Beihuan well." Qi Mengchan said word by word.

"Okay, in that case. You and Huang Xu should go down first. I'm sure you have something to write to your father."

Lin Tian smiled at Qi Mengchan and waved his hand.

"Thank you Lord for your grace!"

After the two left.

After An Bilie closed the door, without waiting for Lin Tian to ask, he gave a detailed introduction to the arrangements for the transportation and front-line manufacturing of his muskets and their ammunition.

This was also the task assigned to him by Emperor Li.

"According to what you said, if the arrangements are made properly, the number of musketeers can be expanded to one thousand within a month?"

Lin Tian asked in surprise.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

An Bilie nodded.

"Your Majesty, Liaoan Province is a major producer of saltpeter, and the number of local blacksmiths is unmatched in Shengjing. Furthermore, after such a long period of forging, the blacksmiths we have trained have become highly skilled. As long as we make good use of these people and train newcomers to work together, the production speed will surely increase dramatically. This is a conservative estimate."

"If Your Majesty agrees to liberalize production and recruit a large number of craftsmen, I can guarantee that establishing a musketeer force of over ten thousand men will be no problem."

An Bilie said this with full confidence, and finally tried to persuade Emperor Li whether to expand production.

Because according to Emperor Li's requirements, every recruited craftsman must undergo strict examination, which greatly reduced the number of craftsmen recruited.

After the battle two nights ago, An Bilie had fully witnessed the power of the musket.

Compared to long-range bows and arrows, muskets are not only powerful and cannot be defended against by fish scale armor, but also have a long range.

The most important thing is that it is very easy to get started.

You know, a good archer in ancient times could also shoot an arrow through the enemy.

But the strength requirement is extremely high, because the bow and arrow itself needs a certain amount of strength to pull the bowstring, and it needs to keep it from shaking.

The farther you shoot, the harder you need to pull the bowstring.

Even a person with supernatural powers will inevitably become tired and unable to keep shooting after pulling the bow a few times.

Firearms do not have this disadvantage.

And even if there is a defensive measure like a shield, which cannot be broken by bows and arrows, a musket can definitely break it.

The Beihuan cavalry had verified it for them personally that night.

"Number is not the key, quality is the key! A thousand musketeers are enough for now."

Lin Tian thought about it and did not agree with An Bilie's suggestion.

He didn't want these weapons to fall into the hands of the seven countries before he developed bulletproof vests or advanced muskets.

Once they obtain such technology, they will immediately mobilize the entire country to quickly start production.

And they will definitely unite to destroy Daxia as soon as possible!

Who would allow a country to exist next to them that may develop such a "powerful product" at any time?
