Chapter 902 Expansion of the Praetorian Guard
Qu Mao felt a little embarrassed, and actually put Su Yan aside all morning.
Now that Su Yan had already had lunch, Qu Mao stopped being entangled, and while picking up the lunch brought by Su Yan, he said: "Su Yan, we don't need to be polite, just say what you have to say, I will eat lunch while listening to you."
Su Yan thought for a while, and said: "My lord, today you first transferred 60 million gold coins to the account of the territory, and then provided a large number of high-level fighter recruitment coupons to the army, navy, and garrison, and then took out a large amount of expendable gold coins." Strategic materials, do you want to quickly take down the Eastern Continent or even the entire Main Continent?"
Qu Mao was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to look at Su Yan.
Su Yan hurriedly explained: "My lord, with so many gold coins, so many high-level fighters and consumable strategic materials, my subordinates think that our strength is enough to win the entire main continent.
But the subordinates are a little worried that our territory is expanding too fast, there is no way to digest the results of the war, and there is no way to stably rule the territory we won. "
Qu Mao simply put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked at Su Yan, and said, "Oh, Su Yan, let me talk about your specific views."
Su Yan said: "My lord, it's normal for my subordinates to worry, so my subordinates are guessing that my lord must want to take it step by step, but since it's a step by step, my lord, you have such confidence, why don't we just attack the Mughal Empire directly?" And how about fighting the countries of Geely, Napoleon, and Gillette, which basically have little money to fish for?
The subordinates believe that even if we fight the Dali Kingdom, the final benefits will be far greater than the current three kingdoms. "
Qu Mao smiled wryly and shook his head, saying: "Su Yan, you don't understand!
Our territory of Yicheng, to be honest, is different from the past. I don’t think we lack gold coins, resources, and fighters. Including heroes, I don’t think our heroes are scarce either.
But we lack natives, residents with high centripetal force and loyalty. The Mughal Empire, the most powerful force in the Eastern Continent, has been established for hundreds of years. The aborigines in the empire must have a high degree of recognition of the royal family of the Mughal Empire. Even if the territory is occupied by us, it is very difficult for us to centralize the management of the aborigines in all territories.
At that time, we will surely fall into the dilemma of internal management, unless we can kill all the billions of natives of the Mughal Empire.
Obviously, if we kill all the natives of the Mughal Empire, the value of the territory we won from the Mughal Empire will be infinitely reduced, leaving only some gold coins, resources and some useless territories.
You yourself have experience. The royal family of the Prince Liu captured your father’s country and ruled for three years. As soon as you boarded the Yancheng Port Wharf, many cities directly declared their surrender to you.
This is the same reason, so we can only take down the small marquis step by step, and realize the return of the aborigines of these small marquis states step by step, in order to further plot a larger territory. "
Su Yan nodded if she realized something, and said: "Your Excellency, you have a far-sighted vision, and my subordinates really did not think of this."
After thinking for a while, Qu Mao asked: "Su Yan, do you think it is necessary for us to directly send the Imperial Guards of the Lord's Lodge to serve as the royal guards of the independent territories in the main continent?
Now nominally, the royal guards of each independent territory belong to the Lord's Lodge Guards, and the officers of the royal guards of each independent territory are sent by the Lord's Lodge Guards. "
Su Yan's eyes lit up, and she said, "My lord, are you planning to expand the Imperial Guard?
The subordinates believe that the imperial guards can increase the third-tier princess guards. After all, among the aboriginal forces on the mainland, the royal guards are generally composed of elite third-tier fighters and a small number of fourth-tier fighters. Generally, it is either a fourth-tier imperial guard or a fifth-tier court guard.
The military expenditure of the third-tier princess guard is lower, and it can quickly form a scale, and then our lord's lodge guard can directly send the royal guard to the management team of the independent territory of the main mainland.
The royal guards dispatched are mainly the third-tier princess guards, supplemented by a small number of fourth-tier guards and fifth-tier palace guards as the commanders of the royal guards.
In this way, the lord's hut can control the independent territories of the main continent more smoothly, and even form a mechanism for the regular rotation of the royal guards in the independent territories of the main mainland. "
Seeing Su Yan talking eloquently, Qu Mao came over and continued to listen to Su Yan.
Your Excellency, you have replenished the strength of the fifth-tier court guards once, but basically all of them have been allocated to the royal guards of the Duke of Tassels. Now the royal guards of the Duke of Tassels have 3,000 fifth-tier court guards and 2,000 fourth-tier guards, lord The total number of guards in the hut itself is less than 1,000. "
Qu Mao asked: "Su Yan, what do you think is the extent to which the Imperial Guard needs to be expanded if the Imperial Guard of the Lord's Lodge wants to send royal guards to the independent territory of the main mainland?"
Su Yan thought about it carefully, and said: "My lord, combined with the current practice of the aboriginal forces on the main mainland, this subordinate believes that the guards of the lord's hut can send guards to the independent territory of the main mainland according to the following standards.
For an independent territory at the Marquis level, 3,000 third-tier imperial guards should be dispatched as the royal guards, of which about 300 fourth-tier imperial guards or fifth-tier court guards can serve as commanders; for independent territories at the principality level, 5,000 third-tier imperial guards The Praetorian Guard served as the Royal Guard, with about 500 of the Fourth or Fifth Praetorians as commanders.
Although we do not have an independent territory at the kingdom and empire level, we can establish the rules together. The kingdom sends 10,000 third-tier guards as the royal guard, and the empire sends 15,000 third-tier guards as the royal guard. Command The proportion of high-level fighters who are officials is controlled at about 10%.
According to the fact that we now have the Duchy of Tassels and the Six Great Marquises, as long as the size of our Imperial Guard reaches 50,000, we can realize the idea of directly dispatching the royal guards of the independent territory directly from the Imperial Guard of the Lord's Lodge, as well as realize the idea of regular rotation. "
Seeing that Qu Mao was silent, Su Yan continued: "My lord, if the royal guards of the independent territories of the main continent are directly dispatched by the guards of the lord's lodge, it means that our lord's lodge can completely control the independent territories of the main continent..."
Qu Mao pushed away the bowls and chopsticks in front of him, and shouted at the door: "Su Buqing, are you here?"
Su Buqing quickly walked into Wucheng City Lord's Mansion, bowed his hands and said: "My lord, Mr. Su Yan, my subordinates have been on duty outside the door. My lord called my subordinates, but do you have something to explain?"
Qu Mao nodded, then told Su Buqing what Su Yan had just told him, and asked Su Buqing for his opinion.
Su Buqing thought for a while, and said: "My lord, this subordinate is a soldier of the third-tier princess guard. Although the third-tier princess guard is unique to the Tassel Principality, with the combat effectiveness of the third-tier princess guard, I think it is a bit problematic to serve as the royal guard. nothing.
If the size of the Imperial Guard in the lord's hut has 50,000 troops, the subordinates think that the two adults' ideas can be realized. Even if the supplementary troops are all third-tier fighters, it can be realized, and the third-tier princess guard troops are not necessarily required. Among all the third-tier fighters, the third-tier princess guards can be regarded as the third-tier fighters with relatively strong overall strength.
Master Su Yan has a reason to say that the royal guards sent directly by the Lord's Lodge Guards are only loyal to the Lord's Lodge, and are ordered by the Lord's Lodge to protect the royal families in the independent territories of the main mainland.
If the royal family in an independent territory is loyal to the Holy Land, the royal guards sent by the Praetorian Guards will naturally need to protect the safety of the royal family; but if they betray the lord's hut, the royal guard can also control them immediately and **** them back to the lord's hut for trial.
However, my lord, the total number of guard troops in the lord's hut of the Holy Land does not exceed 1,000 people..."
Qu Mao waved his hand and said, "According to the planning of Minister Wang Mao of the Ministry of Infrastructure, how many soldiers of the Imperial Guard can be accommodated in the barracks of the Imperial Guard to the north of the lord's hut?"
Su Buqing thought for a while and said: "My lord, the separate office building of the Imperial Guard Headquarters and the barracks behind it can accommodate about 60,000 Imperial Guard soldiers, including half of the fifth-tier imperial guards.
Every reduction in the equipment of a fifth-tier palace guard can accommodate at least two more third-tier warriors or fourth-tier guards without mounts, so the subordinates believe that the office building and barracks of the Imperial Guard behind the lord's hut have been built to accommodate 80,000 to 100,000 Praetorians are not a problem.
There is no need for barracks behind the office buildings of the Ministry of the Army, the Ministry of the Navy, and the Ministry of Garrison. If all of them are used by the Janissaries, the capacity of our Janissaries can reach about 400,000. "
Qu Mao nodded, turned on the cheating system, and directly used the cheating value to obtain 50,000 Tier 3 princess guard warrior recruitment coupons, and after thinking about it, he also kryptonized a warrior recruitment coupon that could recruit 20,000 Tier 4 guards, and A warrior recruitment ticket that can recruit 10,000 fifth-tier court guards.
Placing 8,000 fighter recruitment coupons on the table, Qu Mao said: "Su Buqing, I am safe in Wucheng, you don't need to personally guard here.
Here are enough fighter recruitment coupons to recruit 80,000 fighters, including 50,000 third-tier princess guards, 20,000 fourth-tier guards, and 10,000 fifth-tier palace guards. Take these warrior recruitment coupons and quickly return to the Holy Land Lord's Lodge.
Lead your heroes and quickly recruit all these fighters for training. The loyalty must reach more than 80%.
Then start to replace the royal guards of the Tassel Principality and the Six Kingdoms. I hope this can be done before the end of the Main Continental War. "
Su Buqing froze for a moment, then put all the soldier recruitment coupons on the table into his backpack, and said, "Please rest assured, my subordinates will not disgrace their lives."
