Chapter 0829 A basin of cold water(1/3)

"It's just that the palace is anxious to get rid of the method of forming an army of armored cavalry. It won't be of much use, right?"

After Feng Yong agreed to Zhang Xingyi, he asked again.

Although establishing heavy cavalry was a waste of money, Feng Yong certainly did not suspect that the palace was short of money.

After all, over the years, the husband-and-wife team of Adou and Zhang Xingcai first opened MCC Han and then MCC South.

Relying on the Dongfeng development of Hanzhong and Nanzhong, these two institutions alone have made an incredible amount of money for them.

Not to mention that the palace was already closely connected with the Xinghan Society.

In the earliest days, part of Xinghan Hui's industry was built by borrowing skins from the palace.

Now the Xinghan Society is extremely expanded, and it has a vague tendency to become the first chaebol society in Han Dynasty.

The palace's earliest investment is probably the most successful business investment in the world.

Although the emperor and the empress were nominally the most noble couple in the world, their lives in the early years were actually not that good.

It’s understandable that after being poor and suffering for so long, and suddenly having money in hand, I want to show off.

But just like the Xinghan Society had to borrow qualifications from the palace at the very beginning.

If Adou wants to form a heavy cavalry of his own, he must first obtain the qualifications to form one.

Now the military power of the Han Dynasty is in the hands of the old demon Zhuge.

It’s hard to say whether Old Demon Zhuge will agree. Even if he agrees, what about the generals who will lead the cavalry?

Cavalry and infantry are not the same thing.

Armored cavalry equipment is not the same thing as the current mainstream cavalry, assault cavalry and rangers.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xingyi smiled:

"How could it be useless? It would be of great use."

"Um?"

When Feng Yong saw her like this, he thought, is there a story?

"Tell me about it? Did something happen in Hanzhong during the days when I was away from Longyou?"

But I saw Zhang Xingyi shaking his head: "Of course there is something, and it is a big deal. His Majesty visited Hanzhong in person a few days ago to show his determination to resist the thieves..."

Feng Yong said "tsk", "I know this! But what does it have to do with this matter now?"

Speaking of which, Feng Yong did have a different regard for Adou on this matter.

At that time, everyone thought that Cao Zhen had an army of 100,000 to conquer Hanzhong.

Adou actually dared to go to the front line in person under such circumstances, which was not much different from the imperial commander's personal expedition.

Of course, Feng Yong admired Zhang Xingcai even more. If she hadn't been behind this, it's hard to say whether the little fat guy would have returned to Jincheng halfway with his temper.

But the benefits of listening to my wife soon became apparent.

This time, Adou's reputation skyrocketed.

Although Cao Zhen did not go to Ziwu Valley, Sima Yi did go to Han River and even captured Xinfeng County on the border.

This wave in Hanzhong can barely be regarded as an invasion of the country by a large army.

Only this time, Cao Zhen was defeated at Xiao Pass, and Ziwu Valley was just a suspect. How much could Sima Yi accomplish if he ran to Hanzhong alone?

He must be giving Adou a wave of fame in vain.

Just because you feel good about gaining reputation, you can’t want to challenge your father-in-law’s authority, right?

"Emperors and empresses came together in front of the army to boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians. Looking at history, how many people can we think of?"

Zhang Xingyi continued to shake his head, "The emperor and the empress are not afraid of hardships, so how can the subjects put the emperor and empress in danger? Therefore, strong armies in the north and south should be rebuilt to protect the safety of the royal family..."

Feng Yong heard this and said "oh".

This makes sense...what the hell!

The so-called Northern and Southern Army is actually the military system of the former Han Dynasty, with two regular soldiers to guard the safety of the capital and the royal family.

One is the Southern Army, guarding the palace city; the other is the Northern Army, guarding the capital.

However, because the officers and soldiers of both armies are selected from local areas and rotated every year, there are too many loopholes.

Therefore, during the period of Emperor Xiaowu, the Attendant Army and the Imperial Guard were established, and their sources of troops were no longer recruited from across the country, but fixed professional soldiers.

At this point, the emperor had complete control over the military strength of the capital's defense.

Of course, it was not because of this that Feng Junhou thought there was some nonsense.

Because no matter whether the military force guarding the royal family is called the Northern and Southern Army or the Royal Guard, it doesn't matter at all. What matters is who is in control.

What Feng Junhou thinks is ridiculous is that the thieves are all approaching the city, so you are thinking of forming a military defense force?

You are thinking about building a hut when you are about to poop in your pants?

So Feng Junhou looked at the Zhang family's young lady with evil intentions: "Who said this?"

"Prime Minister."

Oh, that'll be fine.

What the Prime Minister said certainly makes sense.

The eloquent Feng Langjun thought for a while and couldn't help but said:

"Well, didn't the Prime Minister just implement the policy of elite troops? He also reduced many old and weak members of the army. Why do we need to expand the army at this time?"

I can’t figure this out!

Zhang Xingyi made a sound and said a little impatiently:

"Didn't I tell you? These are the Northern and Southern armies, which are used to protect the safety of the emperor and empress."

Damn it!

Feng Yong suddenly understood: "You mean, the prime minister really agreed to let the palace provide money and food to form the Northern and Southern armies?"

You have to listen to whose food you eat. The palace provides money and food to form the Northern and Southern armies, which means that these two armies are definitely in the hands of the emperor.

"That's natural. Otherwise, why would the palace be so anxious about how to form an army of armored cavalry?"

The size of the Northern and Southern armies would certainly not be too large at the beginning.

In the eyes of Adou, or Zhang Xingcai, a small but extremely intimidating army is naturally none other than the armored cavalry with 3,000 cavalry that charged through the camp of 100,000 thieves.

So it seems that the palace has great ambitions.

But why did Zhuge Lao Yao do this?

Although the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty are currently regarded as monarchs and ministers, Adou still calls the old demon Zhuge a father-in-law, and the old demon Zhuge also strictly disciplines Adou.

But there are many times when suddenly letting go of power is not a good thing.

Just like your own child, you have always strictly controlled him before.

Now he was suddenly allowed to let himself go and decide whether to go to class or not. He was even given a large amount of money to spend as he pleased, and there would still be some left after he spent it.

Children who are more alert may wonder: Am I suffering from some kind of terminal illness and my time is running out?

Those who are shallow-minded will immediately become overjoyed and lawless.

Even if he is not terminally ill, doing this is definitely not loving him, but harming him.

History books have long recorded that Zheng Bo Duan Yu Yan.

Of course, Feng Yongxin could match the character of Old Demon Zhuge, and he would never harm Adou like this.

Besides, Zhang Xingcai next to Adou is not a decoration.

However, imperial power and prime ministerial power are inherently antagonistic.

As the imperial power increases, the prime minister's power will decrease.

Coupled with the unpredictable nature of people's hearts, who knows what will happen in the future if this hole is opened?

There are many things that cannot be controlled if you want to.

So, why?

Back then, Feng Junhou was tricked by the Han Prime Minister countless times. Now he didn't need to think about it. He could smell the familiar smell just by smelling it with his nose.

What on earth is Old Demon Zhuge doing in Tua?

Feng Yong let go of Zhang Xingyi's hand and touched his chin.

"This new army is definitely called the Northern and Southern Army, not the Qimen Army or the Yulin Army?"

After all, the Qimen Army and the Yulin Army were completely in the hands of the emperor.

"It's called the Northern and Southern Army."

"Do the Northern and Southern armies need to go out to fight?".

"Of course it's a need." Zhang Xingyi said matter-of-factly, "Since we have the name of the Northern and Southern Army, how can we not go out to fight?"
To be continued...
