The so-called Ailao is not Ailao Mountain, it can be regarded as the later Laos. Nanzhang and Zhenla can be regarded as Thailand and Cambodia.

Among these three South Vietnamese countries, Ailao and Daxia, face the situation that they face is exactly the same as that of the Zheng family in Annan.

Zhang Shi's troops in the Southwest War Zone adhered to Ying Yi's intentions and have repeatedly provoked trouble since they stationed troops on the border, which made Ailao both shocked and scared.

So he came to pay tribute and beg for mercy clearly.

The Nanzhang and Zhenla were affected, and the same was true.

"Nanyue is not small in size, equal to the two prefectures in China." Ying Yi said: "After destroying the Japanese, taking Nanyue, it is not a corner, but a full attack. It is reasonable to take all the South Vietnam Peninsula in one go."

"The first thing to do is Ailao and Annan Zheng family." Ying Yi said: "This small country has few people, so it is not worth fearing. However, the area is wide, there are many rainy forests, and the environment is unfamiliar. It is probably not easy to make a move in the southwest war zone of Zhangshi."

The listener of the Military Academy's Praise Department did not speak. Hearing this, he said: "Your Majesty, the troops of the governor Zhou of the Jiangnan War Zone are also stationed in Guangxi."

Ying Yi waved his hand: "I know."

Then he said: "Zhou Li moved his troops to Guangxi, stationed troops in Xiangzhou, and stayed in Zhennan Pass. But in this way, the Jiangnan War Zone was not worthy of its reputation."

He paused and said, "I want to expand the army again, what do you think?"

All the ministers looked at me, and I looked at you, but they didn't say anything.

If you want civil servants, you are probably unwilling to do so. However, as a civil servant, it is difficult to talk about military affairs in a blunt manner. However, Ying Yi didn't want to answer when he heard it.

As the Heavenly Official, Zheng Yunzhi pondered for a moment and said, "How much does Your Majesty want to expand his army?"

Ying Yi said: "Expand the three major war zones."

The military officer immediately raised his head and showed a look of surprise.

Then he heard Zheng Yunzhi say, "The three war zones are organized, which is 144,000 regular soldiers, and the logistics personnel are as high as 150,000. Your Majesty, the empire is developing in full swing, and the manpower and material resources are in short supply. At this time, the army is expanding by 150,000, and the burden is not light."

At present, the imperial sea-passing army has ten major war zones, and the Imperial Guards are eleven war zones, with a total number of more than 500,000 people. Compared with the vast territory of Daxia, the troops are not only not large, but also less. However, as Zheng Yunzhi said, the empire is now in short supply of manpower and material resources, and the burden of 150,000 soldiers is very heavy.

Ying Yi nodded: "I naturally know. However, the country's military affairs must be observed. The total strength of more than 500,000 is too small after all, and it is always necessary to expand. After Zhou Li moved to Guangxi, there was no large army in Jiangnan. Moreover, Tibet was also stretched, Qian Yue could not make any mistakes in the Western War Zone. Zheng Jiu was the same in the Northwest War Zone."

When all the ministers heard this, they were speechless.

This is a practical problem and cannot be ignored. The army of Daxia is indeed powerful and is invincible in the world. However, the number of people is a big problem.

Not to mention the war on the South Vietnam Peninsula, just to the west and north, there are only two war zones with less than 100,000 troops on the vast territory and long national border. No wonder Qian Yue and Zheng Jiu had a difficult turn.

You should know that from Xuanda to the northern border of the border and even to the west border with the Persian Safavi Dynasty, there are defense lines in the northwest war zone of Zhengjiu. This line of defense is thousands of miles long, but only 48,000 soldiers are only.

Qian Yue is the same. The boundary line between Tibet and Physal Poison to the junction of the Safavi Dynasty Khorasan region in the west is also thousands of miles away.

As Ying Yi said, it is imperative.

Ying Yi planned to expand the army to organize three war zones, two of which were for Tibet and the northwest.

The empire has a huge territory, and the more bordering countries, the more complicated the situation it faces. Let’s talk about the Great Xia Empire now, and it will destroy the Eastern Lu and North Korea. Apart from the Japanese and Japanese across the sea, there are no foreign countries.

The South Vietnam Peninsula and the Nanyang Islands are only in the south, and the situation here is also very complicated.

As for the west, northwest and Tibet, it is even more complicated.

Then he said that in the northwest, Zheng Jiu no longer had the extra energy to continue to provoke the Oirats, and had turned offensive to defend, and had no more troops to continue to expand his territory. In addition to the Oirats in the north of the desert, the biggest force was the Persian Safavi Empire in the west. Even the Krim Khanate in the north of the Oirats were here.

In the Western War Zone where Qian Yue was in charge, the Mughal Empire was facing the poisonous Mughal Empire and the Persian Safavi Empire in the west. Neither of these two countries were small countries and the pressure was heavy.

Ying Yi has ambitions and the whole planet is in his eyes. But he does not have the ability to clone thousands of things, so he needs an army and more troops.

But Ying Yi was not simply a militaristic man. He also knew the current situation within the empire.

Otherwise, there would be more than three war zones to expand the army at one time, and thirty would be possible.

"This matter is settled." Ying Yi Gan Gang said arbitrarily: "The Ministry of War and the Military Affairs Office are ready for everything, and after the harvest starts, we will start to expand the army."

"Abide by the emperor's order!"

For today's Daxia, there is no pressure on the material aspects, mainly in terms of manpower.

The great construction in all aspects mobilized the entire empire. Only with tens of millions of slaves can it be maintained smoothly.

Although only 150,000 soldiers were recruited, which seemed to be a small proportion, it would actually have some impact.

But this is also helpless.

What impact will it have, the Pastoral Court will naturally heal it.

Otherwise, Ying Yi would want these ministers to have a good meal?

However, some ministers suggested, saying: "There are more than 13 million slaves in the slave labor camp, which may be..."

Ying Yi directly rejected: "The army does not need slaves."

Perhaps it was because Ying Yi was sensitive, or perhaps it was because Ying Yi was too emperor. In fact, it was not impossible to use slaves or groups similar to slaves as army forces in history.

There was in the Han Dynasty and in the Tang Dynasty.

After the Han Dynasty subdued the surrounding barbarians, it was driven to fight for the empire, and it was called "Yi Cong". For example, Yi Cong in Huangzhong was the Qiang people in Huangzhong. The same is true for the Southern Xiongnu.

The Tang Dynasty took a step further. Li Tang accepted all foreign tribes and put into great power to drive them to guard the frontier and fight.

But in Ying Yi's eyes, these two dynasties were both lessons from the past.

When the Han Dynasty was prosperous, the other tribes, driven by slaves, were obeyed and worked hard for the Han Dynasty. Many people even reached the center and became loyalists of the Han Dynasty. This can be said to be the result of the great integration of the nation.

However, when the Han Dynasty was in the late Han Dynasty and the country was in decline, how did they do these things that were driven and integrated?

First of all, it’s reversed!

During the Five Barbarians Rebellion, many of them were once slaves from the Han Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty was even more miserable. By the late Li Longji period, most of the country's military strength was actually in the hands of foreigners who surrendered!

Of course, there are loyal people, but there are a lot of unfaithful people. An Lushan and Shi Siming are not Han people!

With the past, Ying Yi will never trust foreigners.

It is true that Daxia is different from the Han and Tang dynasties, and Ying Yi is even more different from the Liu and Li families, but Ying Yi just doesn't like the army being "polluted".
