Chapter 600 The Young Prince
Chapter 600 The Young Prince
To be honest, Viscount Henrietta is relatively confused.
You said that others were fighting well here, so why did they collude with the Dagan people to assassinate the earl?
He is not sick! !
Therefore, after he got the news, he roughly understood that some nobles in the province who had objections to him were using rumors to attack him.
But he suddenly found that he couldn't explain this kind of thing!
After all, you said you didn't collude with Da Gan people, why couldn't a hundred thousand troops defeat a mere small town with Da Gan people?
If he explains that the Da Gan people are powerful, then some people will say, "We, the Great Meili Electricians, are invincible, how can we not defeat the mere Da Gan people? This is clearly your evil intention."
But if he doesn't explain, then he will be accused of colluding with Da Gan people.
At that time, someone will probably point at him and shout: "Look, he didn't even explain, he admitted it!!"
As a result, Viscount Henrietta was really in a daze and at a loss.
We are all nobles, why do we have to do something so extreme?
Viscount Henrietta secretly swore not to let him escape, otherwise he would not be a viscount unless he exterminated these guys who had added insult to injury! !
Therefore, in order to prevent the rumors from spreading, he immediately gave the order.
"Order the standing army to launch an attack and try to break through this broken city!!"
...........
Just when Viscount Henrietta looked sad, this rumor gradually reached the ears of the Daqian border army.
In a large city of the frontier army, in the Marshal's Mansion, this is a middle-aged man. As the new commander-in-chief of the frontier army, he seems to be a bit young.
Looking at him, he does not have the weathered face of a soldier, so he is most likely not a veteran who has been on the battlefield.
However, if such a person happens to be the commander-in-chief of the frontier army, then this person is either a genius or a fool.
At this time, the handsome man was watching the dance, listening to the ditty, and then humming, quite enjoying it.
Soon, a person hurried over. This was a rather old veteran. When he entered the Marshal's Mansion, he looked at Yingying Yanyan with a trace of disgust in his eyes, but then he restrained himself and his heart was filled with sadness!
A country's elite frontier troops and generals have become like this, what else can the world do? How to face the Rakshasa attack? ?
"Old General, why are you in such a hurry?"
Seeing the veteran coming over, the commander didn't get up. He was still lying on his side, lazily.
The veteran general wanted to be angry when he saw this, but military regulations and national laws strictly restricted him, so although he was sad in his heart, he could only report respectfully.
"Commander, there is news from the Five Continents of Northern Xinjiang that their count is missing or dead, so there must be chaos within the Rakshasa Barbarians now. I wonder if we can send troops and take the opportunity to conquer the Five Continents of Northern Xinjiang??"
However, in response to these words, the Marshal still lay on the chair and refused to get up, and said in lazy words:
"Counterattack?"
"Conquer the five continents in Northern Xinjiang?"
"Old General! Who gave you the courage to have this idea??"
"Besides, do you think this kind of thing could be caused by Rakshasa to confuse the public? Or is it a trap to lure us into a trap?"
"Also, even if this news is true, do you think our border troops can defeat the Rakshasa barbarians?"
"It's not that I look down on the border troops. After all, they are my soldiers. But ask yourself, do they still have the courage to fight?"
The commander's series of words were like sharp arrows piercing the veteran's body one after another, leaving him speechless and aggrieved.
Yes, the current border army was reorganized three years ago. After three years, the strength of this army cannot be said to be very powerful, it can only be said to be average.
This is not to say that there is a problem with the training and weapons and equipment in the army. After all, the newly appointed commander is a prince and his family has money, so he does not bother to cheat on military supplies.
In addition, the young prince often rushes back and forth among the various armies, which also makes the officers in the army dare not stretch out their hands too harshly. After all, if they reach out too harshly, this commander will really kill people.
Therefore, although the frontier army is not full, there is really no shortage of food and equipment, but there is a small problem of not being able to make money.
And here, the treatment can be said to be not much better than that of the original border army.
Therefore, judging from the original standards, the training of the border army is really an elite force.
I just want to say that I don't know why. The army has no morale, or it has no courage when facing the Rakshasa barbarians. This is the problem.
So much so that the border troops could rely on city fortresses to fight against the Rakshasa barbarians, but if they were allowed to fight the Rakshasa barbarians in the wild, they would not dare, and even forcing them too much would cause mutiny.
From the perspective of veteran generals, this kind of thing is a bit confusing, and they generally think that it is because the soldiers are often frightened by Rakshasa barbarians.
Of course, this is not the opinion of just one veteran. Many people have this opinion, including but not limited to the commander-in-chief, many generals and soldiers, who all think so.
Of course, the young prince didn't think so.
The young prince often said that this was all caused by the fact that food and salary could not be distributed, and the court had to provide women to the Rakshasa barbarians, which made the soldiers have no intention to fight.
The young prince said that as long as these two problems are solved, the army can go out of the city to fight against the Rakshasa barbarians, and even fight at a higher level than the original frontier army.
However, the young prince's theory was really criticized by all the generals and soldiers as being useless. After all, one was related to their money bags, and the other was the political correctness of the court, either of which could suppress the young prince.
In this regard, the commander-in-chief also thinks so.
So under the commander's questions, the veteran finally smiled and said, "Well, didn't it mean that there are still a group of rebels in the five continents of Northern Xinjiang?"
"I wonder if we can recruit them, replenish them with military supplies and soldiers, and let them fight instead of our border troops??"
As soon as these words came out, the commander couldn't help but stand up, and then looked at him coldly.
"Are you talking about the army surrounded by Rakshasa barbarians? You must understand that that army is a bandit army, not a rebel army!!"
"Also, this suggestion is not something you can say. Go back and don't force me to kill you!!"
The veteran couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his temples after hearing this, and then immediately retreated.
Returning to his home, the veteran knelt down to the young man practicing martial arts in the courtyard.
"Young prince, the commander-in-chief disagrees!!"
Upon hearing this, the young prince put away his spear and quickly stepped forward to help the veteran up.
"It's okay, I'm just giving it a try. If it succeeds, that's the best. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter!"
The veteran was a little ashamed after hearing this. Even though he was older and the prince was younger, the prince's spirit was much higher than his!
Ashamed, he apologized repeatedly, and the young prince also conscientiously consoled him. After the matter was settled, the young prince left the old general's home.
Halfway through, the young prince asked the counselor beside him:
"By the way, how did your Han army become so powerful?"
The counselor smiled: "Respect the leader of Dajijiu, learn the thoughts of Dajijiu, and join the Datong Society. If everyone works together, we will be able to do it!!"
The young prince nodded thoughtfully: "In that case, please sir, please get me a book from Datong Society. I want to learn from it!!"
The counselor nodded: "You are indispensable, our Datong Society welcomes every knowledgeable person!!"
