Chapter 154 Total War: Great Conscript
Qian Renxue and General Ge Long were walking on the corridor of the palace, they were about to go to the parlor to meet Ning Fengzhi, the suzerain of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.On both sides of the cloister are tall stone pillars, engraved with the history and glory of the empire.Sunlight poured in through the windows, illuminating their figures.

A beam of bright sunlight passed through the pane and shone on Qian Renxue's body, as if it was an omen.Her shadow was elongated by the sunlight, like a black dragon, winding on the wall.His shadow covered the emblem of the royal family, and the swan representing the Tiandou royal family had been covered by shadows.

Qian Renxue was full of doubts, the news of her enthronement should have spread not long ago, why did Ning Fengzhi come so quickly?What news did Ning Fengzhi bring?The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect represented by Ning Fengzhi has a solid foundation and massive financial resources, which has an important impact on the stability and development of the empire.

She also knew that Ning Fengzhi was a shrewd and cautious person, and would not reveal his intentions and positions easily.He couldn't help getting nervous secretly, not knowing what the outcome of this meeting would be.

Ning Fengzhi had been waiting in the small pavilion in the garden for a long time, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the corridor from time to time, looking forward to the arrival of the new emperor.

Elegantly drinking the black tea in the bone china cup, it was a precious variety imported by Ning Fengzhi from afar, and the aroma was overflowing.

Not long after, Ning Fengzhi saw Qian Renxue and the general walk into the garden, he got up and went forward, made a big gift, and bestowed blessings on the new emperor's ascension to the throne.His voice is gentle and powerful, and his words are respectful and reserved.

"Your Majesty, I would like to express my most sincere blessings to you. May you live forever and enjoy the world forever."

Qian Renxue immediately understood the teacher's attitude, he came to express his position.

She responded right away.

"Sect Master Ning, your arrival really brought me a surprise, and I am very grateful. You are not only the most loyal courtier of the empire, but also my most respected friend. More importantly, you used to be my teacher. You taught me a lot of knowledge and skills about governing the country. Without your teachings, I would not be where I am today.”

"Your Majesty, you will be a great monarch, and you will lead us to a more prosperous and peaceful era. I just did my duty as a teacher and a subject."

Qian Renxue returned the gift with a smile, he felt Ning Fengzhi's sincerity, and also noticed Ning Fengzhi's caution.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi took the initiative to say the most crucial part of this meeting.

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report to you. While I was waiting, I learned that the empire is facing unprecedented difficulties. Foreign enemies are stalking tigers, and internal unrest is rampant. I am worried for the empire, and I feel sympathy for you. So I decided to provide the empire with all the necessary materials and manpower to help the empire prepare for war. This is my wish, please don't refuse, Your Majesty."

Qian Renxue felt Ning Fengzhi's attitude. He knew that Ning Fengzhi was an excellent ally, but he also knew that Teacher Attitude was a cautious person, and he would not reveal his intentions and positions easily.

It is impossible for him to put all the chips on the gambling table so early, Ning Fengzhi must have some needs, or some hidden secrets.However, the power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the empire should not be underestimated. He has powerful power and wealth, and has an important influence on the stability and development of the empire.

Qian Renxue decided to respond cautiously to the teacher's helping hand, he didn't want to offend Ning Fengzhi, and he didn't want to make Ning Fengzhi feel that he was not firmly seated on the throne at this time.she said.

"Sect Master Ning, I am very grateful and admire you for your generosity. You are the most loyal courtier of the empire and my most respected friend. The materials and manpower you provide to the empire will help prepare for the empire's war. It's been a huge help."

"But I can't accept all of your funding. The empire's affairs should be resolved by the empire. Actions like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will also make other princes feel unbalanced. I can only accept part of your funding. You can discuss the specific content with Ge Long General and Chancellor of the Exchequer to consult"

Ning Fengzhi had anticipated Qian Renxue's caution beforehand, he knew that Qian Renxue would not easily accept all of his funding, nor would he easily agree to any of his requests.So he decided on a roundabout tactic.

"Your Majesty, the empire is currently facing unprecedented difficulties. Foreign enemies are stalking tigers, and internal unrest is rampant. I am worried for the empire and I sympathize with you. I would like to ask you to consider whether you need to take some special measures to deal with this crisis .”

Qian Renxue was aroused by this proposal.

"Special measures? What do you mean?"

"For example, increase the quantity and quality of the army. Your Majesty, you know that at such an urgent time, we need to have enough troops and weapons to fight our enemies, and we need to have enough confidence and courage to defeat them. You have already With a strong royal guard, you also need more loyal and reliable allies to support you."

"I want you to think about whether you can give the various lords and legions some privileges and powers so that they can recruit more mercenaries and soul masters in their territories, so that we can provide you with more military support. In this way, we can consolidate our military strength and make future front advances more powerful."

Qian Renxue agreed with this proposal, but there seemed to be something hidden behind it.

"Privilege and power? What do you mean? Do you want me to grant higher titles and more territories to those loyal legions and lords? This may be feasible in war, but now, this proposal does not feasibility."

Ning Fengzhi replied in a calm and slow tone.

"No, Your Majesty, as you know, recruiting mercenaries and soul masters is a very difficult and complicated matter. It requires a lot of time and resources, as well as a lot of rules and restrictions. Considering the current financial situation of the empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect With more money poured in, we're already stretched thin for a war of this size, so maybe we need some old ways."

Qian Renxue instantly thought of a right that only the emperor could exercise, and she also guessed why Ning Fengzhi came here this time.

"You mean, call-up order?"

As soon as the word "conscription order" reached General Ge Long's ears, his whole body trembled. He immediately stood up and saluted Qian Renxue.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not! Conscription orders are a very dangerous and unstable measure. Conscription orders may be a good medicine in the initial stage of the empire, but now, if the conscript orders are issued, it will destroy the centralization of the empire."

Ge Long looked serious, with the sonorous temperament of a soldier in his tone.

"Once the call-up order is issued to those lords, the power of those lords will expand wildly and continue to encroach on the sphere of influence of other small nobles. This may be able to obtain a large number of troops without spending a single gold coin in the early stage of the war, but once the war is over, these messes It will have a very negative impact on the stability of the empire."

"Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne. You need to consolidate your throne and authority. You cannot let those lords and legions take advantage of it!"

Hearing this, Qian Renxue couldn't help sighing in her heart, how come there are so many capable people in the Tiandou Empire?The former Chancellor of the Exchequer was one and Ge Long is another.

Although what he said was very reasonable, Qian Renxue's ultimate goal was to develop the power of the Wuhun Hall, and this hand sent by Ning Fengzhi was exactly in her arms.

"General Ge Long, you are right. The call-up order is indeed a risky and costly measure, and I will not use it lightly. But you must also know that the empire is currently facing an unprecedented crisis. We need to have Enough troops and weapons to stand against our enemies, we need to have enough confidence and courage to defeat them."

"If we only rely on the royal guard, we may not be able to deal with all the battlefields and enemies. We need to have more loyal and reliable allies to support us."

Qian Renxue turned her head and nodded to Ning Fengzhi and said.

"Sect Master Ning is my most respected teacher and friend. He has provided the empire with a lot of materials and manpower, and he has also expressed his loyalty and trust to me. I want to give him some privileges and powers so that he can Recruit more mercenaries and soul masters in the territory so that he can provide me with more military support. In this way, we can form a powerful alliance that will make our enemies daunting."

Seeing Qian Renxue's gaze, Ning Fengzhi immediately understood what she meant, so he immediately added:
"General Gelong's worries are not unreasonable. I guarantee that I will only recruit those free personnel who have not joined other forces, and I will compile them into my troop register and hand them over to the new king to ensure mutual respect. The transparency of the forces in the country ensures political mutual trust. I think that if this policy is applied to other forces that have received conscription orders, it will ensure the stability of the empire after the war.”

Ge Long is still fighting for reason, trying to convince the emperor

"Sect Master Ning, you sound very good, but can you guarantee that you can do it? Can you guarantee that other forces that have obtained the call-up order can also do it? Do you know how tempting the call-up order is? You know the call-up order How dangerous is it?"

"Once you have a call-up order, you have a private army that you can mobilize at will, you can put pressure or threats on other nobles or civilians, you can expand your territory or power, you can challenge the royal family or The authority of the empire."

"You say you won't do it, but can you guarantee that others won't? Can you guarantee that after the war, you and others will obediently hand over the call-up and private army? Can you guarantee that after the war After it's over, don't you and others have any dissatisfaction or ambitions with the royal family or the empire?"

Qian Renxue looked at Ning Fengzhi and Ge Long, they were an integral part of her plan, they were her most important allies and assistants.She didn't want any conflicts and barriers between them, and she didn't want to hinder the implementation of the plan just because of this.She decided to make a compromise, she said.

"I have decided to issue a call-up order, but with the following conditions

The call-up order can only be used during the war, and must be handed over to the royal family after the war.

Conscription orders can only be used to recruit free men who have not joined other forces, and they must be included in the army register and handed over to the royal family.

Conscription orders cannot be used to violate the interests and rights of other nobles or civilians, nor can they be used to expand territories or power, let alone challenge the authority of the royal family or the empire.

The call-up order can only be issued by me personally, and it can only be issued to someone I believe to be trustworthy and respectable, such as Sect Master Ning.

The number and proportion of the call-up orders are determined by me according to the war situation and needs, and there should be no objection or questioning. "

Ge Long had no choice but to stand up and approve of the emperor's decision.
Seeing this situation, Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, everything was going according to his own plan, his deduction about Wuhundian and Qian Renxue was still accurate, and the next step was to prepare for the war.
