Chapter 825 Absolutely Unacceptable

"What I mean is that we want to abolish a group of troops, select the best from the best, and form elite soldiers and horses of the same size as the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army in the Han Dynasty!"

"With limited troops and limited funds, it is definitely more than enough to cultivate a powerful combat force to deal with these endless bandit troubles!"

"Even if there is a real war in the future, such an army can go into battle at any time, and its fighting power will be no less than any army!"

Yue Fei took a deep breath and asked tentatively: "Then, how many people do you think such an army should have?"

Night Breeze obviously thought it over, and blurted out without thinking, "Fifty thousand!"

fifty thousand!

The cutting power has been directly cut by more than half!

Such a decision made Yue Fei, Qin Qiong and others gasp.

But what can they say?

After all, Night Breeze's starting point was right. The opponent is gone, so why do you want soldiers? It's just a waste of food and grass!

"Your Majesty, what about the remaining people?"

Zhang Fei was careless, and asked on the spot without caring about anything else.

In fact, Night Breeze didn't completely deprive them of their military power, which was considered as the utmost benevolence.

After all, there are not a few people who have done this in history.

They were already very grateful for Ye Feng's benevolence, but if the people under him were not properly settled, it would be absolutely unacceptable psychologically for these generals.

Of course!

Since Night Breeze brought it up, there will naturally be a corresponding solution!

"Yide is a good question!"

Night Breeze smiled lightly, and then said, "They are all your life-and-death brothers, but they are also loyal ministers of the Yetian King Empire. Naturally, I will not treat them badly."

"At present, the empire is just being built, and a lot of waste is waiting to be built. You should be clear about the Shenlong locomotive. It is of great benefit to the military, economy, and politics!"

"I want to build this kind of railway and locomotives on a large scale, but there are too few engineering teams available in China. Only the Zhen family, the Mi family, Su Shuang, and Zhang Shiping are not enough."

"What's more! They are businessmen, and what they are after is pure fruit~ fruity profits. It is impossible to move such a project to the national level!"

"Therefore! I want to transform all retired soldiers into an infrastructure engineering corps, which will be managed by the state and issue infrastructure engineering tasks!"

"First, it can quickly revitalize the sluggish domestic economy; second, it can also speed up the deployment of some important military projects, such as the construction of pilot cities. In fact, I don't feel at ease if such projects are handed over to the Zhen family."

At this time, Cai Yan who was beside him added a sentence: "Actually, your Majesty is not considered to be an army, it should be said that it is a change in the nature of the arms, from a combat force to a logistics force, and the previous combat force has even greater military strength! "

Very well reviewed!

Guan Yu stroked his long beard, and he naturally understood the meaning of his elder brother Night Breeze: "Your Majesty is right, this time and that time, now is indeed the time to lay down your armor and return to the fields."

"How about this! The establishment of the infrastructure engineering corps will be carried out by someone Guan first, and the emotions of the soldiers under the devil will also be appeased by someone Guan himself. His Majesty's order is as it is, and the general will carry it out without compromise!"

Zhang Fei chuckled: "It's really cool and spectacular to bring an army of 100,000 to fight, but things like food and grass are too annoying. I'm willing to join the army and let my subordinates lead the team to contribute to the country. Who wouldn't like it?" Execute, I will slap him with a big slap."

Yue Fei took a deep breath: "The construction of the pilot city is indeed conducive to the assimilation of foreign races, and it is also beneficial to the management of the army. This is beneficial to the country and the people, and there is no reason to refuse."

Qin Qiong said loudly: "Your Majesty is benevolent and considerate, and will eventually be willing to implement it!"

All the generals expressed their support for Night Breeze's reforms.

In fact, such measures appeared in the early days of the founding of New China, and most of the disarmed soldiers were transformed into infrastructure engineers.

You know, when did one million people be disarmed, which was even worse than the number that Night Breeze was going to disarm now.

They can carry it out properly, there's no reason Night Breeze can't!

Of course!

The most important thing is that there are basically no opponents in the south and north at present. This is a major strategic premise. If there are still terrible opponents, Night Breeze will never do such a thing.

Ye Feng was overjoyed, and expressed his opinion in public: "Don't worry, generals, the disbanded troops will be properly settled. They will be the most indispensable force in building the Ye Tian Empire. They will serve as an army for a day and for a lifetime. The Infrastructure Engineering Corps, they are all my most loyal soldiers!"

"For the Yetian Empire!"

"For the people of King Yetian!"

"For eternal peace!"

"Come on! Fill up the wine, and I offer you a toast!"

Night Breeze held the wine bottle, slowly got up, looked around at the generals in the hall, and spoke calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the soldiers give thanks!

Dry!

Night Breeze raised his neck, the wine was drained to the brim!

All the soldiers raised their necks together, and the spirits rolled down their stomachs!

When he sat down again, Night Breeze gave Cai Yan a wink, signaling her to take out the prepared things.

Cai Yan smiled lightly, blinking to understand.

When he sat down, Cai Yan said softly: "Generals, in fact, His Majesty prepared a gift for each of you many years ago. It has been difficult to get together before, but today is a rare opportunity."

After slapping all the generals, it is natural to give a sweet date to appease him.

Night Breeze is very good at this kind of thing, so he was well prepared!

He didn't know his partner, so he was astonished and said deliberately: "If you don't tell me, I will almost forget it. Take it quickly and share it with the generals!"

Cai Yan bowed gracefully: "Your Majesty, the concubine has already prepared, and the things are here!"

She patted the wooden box beside her.

The generals were suddenly surprised.

Zhang Fei stared and said in disbelief, "Queen, what did Your Majesty prepare for us? How could it fit in such a small box? It's too little."

Cai Yan smiled lightly: "Third Uncle, don't worry, this box is small, but it is extremely precious!"

Night Breeze waved his hand: "I let her hold this thing for many years, and it wasn't worth much at first, but today, it should be worth a lot!"

Everyone became more and more surprised, and they were all discussing what would be inside.

"Could it be pearls or something?"

"If it's a pearl, it must be the size of a goose egg. There are so many of us, it's impossible to hold it."

"But what could it be? I can't think of anything of great value that could fit in this little box.

Cai Yan opened the box, took out a piece of paper, and said softly: "When Mount Tai was undergoing commercial reform, His Majesty specially ordered his concubines to purchase properties on both sides of Central Avenue. These things are all title deeds!"
