Chapter 42 Five thousand vassals

In the Yan Prince's Mansion, Sima Ji, who had just been on a patrol to the country for a round of inspections, was commuting with Youzhou Governor Xu Meng. On the platform built, a group of women were dancing. The peaceful and prosperous times were almost the same as it is now.

"It has been nearly half a year since the governor came to Youzhou. Youzhou is located in the border, with difficult conditions, thank you for your hard work." Sima Ji also learned that set of words, and opened his mouth to be located in the border, a bitter and cold place.

However, this did not delay him from corrupting Xu Meng, and putting down the wine cup, Sima Ji turned his attention to another middle-aged military officer. This person was the lieutenant of Yan State, named Yang Gan, who was from the Hongnong Yang family. He was sent by Yang Jun, who is now in the court. However, Sima Ji had learned about it from the side and was not considered a direct disciple.

Sima Ji was never interested in understanding how these gentry were divided, but it can be seen that Yang Gan was not a disciple of the clan who was very valued. Yan State had never established a vassal army, and this lieutenant had always been a decoration. Yang Gan, the lieutenant of the three armies, was also in name only. If it weren't for the occasional thought of establishing a vassal army during this tour, the lieutenant of the three armies would have been forgotten.

The sheep is just a matter of pulling and two are also a matter of letting go. No matter who Yang Gan is from the Yang family of Hongnong, Sima Ji doesn't care whether he is valued or not. It is indeed time to establish a vassal army.

It felt like the time was almost over, Sima Ji thought about it, "This time I went to many counties and counties. Is the life of the people of the country really worrying? Many people only have one piece of changing clothes all year round, which is really unbearable."

As he said that, His Highness Yan lost two crocodile tears and choked, "I really can't bear it..."

This may be the nature of a young man. Xu Meng secretly asked him that he might be old. He was already used to this kind of scene and said, "Your Highness does not need to blame himself. Look at the people of the ban country, they can always have enough food and have clothes to cover their bodies. This is the peaceful scene."

Sima Ji didn't want to be stubborn about this. He could eat and sleep without military disasters. This was a peaceful and prosperous era. The peaceful and prosperous era in the agricultural era was this standard. Don't think too much, otherwise you would be disappointed.

"I didn't know the importance of this in Luoyang, and I ran into the young master. Later I apologized, and I was deeply impressed by his knowledge. I took him as my teacher. Now that I have to return to the throne, I must make some achievements and reproduce the scene in the classics. However, the situation of the throne is like this? In recent days, I am thinking hard, uh!" Suddenly, I burped a lot, Sima Ji continued, "I finally came up with a solution."

"I wonder what your highness has come up with?" Xu Meng held back his laughter and his face was thrusting. Even if what Sima Ji said was true, the burp and food were not thought of, and all his feelings were ruined. As the governor, he had to hold back to be worthy of the cultivation of guarding the area.

It seemed that there was nothing wrong, Sima Ji looked at Lieutenant Yang Gandao, "Lieutenant, I decided to establish a vassal army and recruit underage men from the vassal army. Of course, the younger the better. It is the best for seven or eight years old. If it is insufficient, the scope can be expanded a little to ten years old. This is equivalent to the vassal country supporting these children and helping the people reduce the burden. When these children can work and support their families in four or five years, do you think it is feasible to recruit the next batch of children?"

"Your Highness, this is really..." Xu Meng pondered for a moment and wanted to speak. Sima Ji's idea was too whimsical.

"It's feasible, how can it not be feasible! Your Highness's move is to love the people, and the second is to gain a good reputation. Why not do it?" Before Xu Meng finished speaking, Yang Gan immediately snatched the white-haired expression and expressed his approval, regardless of whether he was an adult or not. Why is Youzhou so strangely called?

Yang Gan finally seized an opportunity but was really unwilling to let it go. Yan State only had more than 200 guards and guards the royal palace. He, the lieutenant who came to command the three armies, had nothing under his command, and was just an empty shell.

I finally saw the opportunity to lead the army, let alone half-aged children, even the ants on the ground. Otherwise, being a bare commander in Yan State would be wasting time.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Xu Meng's eyes, feeling that the Yang family's son was really ignorant, and there was even the sixteen-year-old King of Yan. He wanted to continue talking, and when he saw the very calm King of Yan in his eyes, he had turned his head and chatted with Yang Gan in a passionate manner.

"Does the lieutenant also think what I said makes sense? This is the result of my hard thinking." Sima Ji asked Yang Gan excitedly with a feeling of meeting a confidant.

"Your Highness's move is appropriate. Yang Gan deeply admires it!" Yang Gan nodded fiercely for fear that Xu Meng would persuade Sima Ji to finally give up this idea, so he sipped hard, "The people of the country must all thank you for your kindness."

"Thank you for your kindness! I just did a little thing..." Sima Ji pretended to be fooled, as if he was fooled, and was fed by Yang Gan with two mouthfuls of poisonous milk.

"Governor Xu, I think we need to build a military camp!" Sima Ji suddenly turned around, and the time for this corvee service was extended again, "for the training of the vassal army."

"Yeah, okay!" Xu Meng's eyes stopped for a moment on Sima Jina and then moved to Yang Gan, picked up the wine cup and drank it all.

At this moment, a manager of the governor's mansion entered the mansion and whispered in Xu Meng's ear for a moment. Xu Meng quickly accused him of going to handle the official business, and left the Yan Prince's Mansion after a few turns.

Half an hour later, Sima Ji arranged two guards to send Yang Gan away, who had been drunk as a pool of mud.

"If you don't say that your Yang family's good days are coming to an end, even if it's not over, can you command this vassal army?" Sima Ji curled his lips and shook his head, watching Yang Gan's carriage go further and further away.

Before this, Sima Ji had already gone from the side to Yang Gan's mood, knowing what it was like to make a contribution but the lieutenant who wanted to make achievements but did not have a feudal army. As expected, just spoke, Yang Gan couldn't bear it like a cat who smelled the fishy smell.

In Xu Meng's eyes, King Yan just felt hot and then made a wrong decision under Yang Gan's instigation.

Sima Ji is preparing to train these five thousand children with great effort. Anyone should be regarded as the sergeant commander, the chief of the sergeant, and the chief of the sergeant. According to the qualifications, they will be divided into middle-level officers in the future. When there is nothing wrong in the world, they will naturally expand their army immediately.

This is the 100,000 army plan that Germany had worked hard to prevent the Prussian military tradition from being broken down after the Treaty of Versailles. After the war began, Germany took this as its backbone and expanded the German army to three million within one year.
