The God King died suddenly at the beginning, what can I do?

Chapter 488 Li Rubai’s choice

The reason why Qin Yu chose to show off his cards directly was because he could not keep his affairs a secret forever.

Such a big news about establishing an army will be known sooner or later. Rather than arousing suspicion, it is better to confess in advance.

To avoid being reported to the Eight Kings by someone with ulterior motives, Li Rubai would be further implicated.

Now tell Li Rubai in advance, let him be prepared, and force him to take sides. If Li Rubai is not willing to get involved in this muddy water, then Qin Yu will lead the new army to leave Liaojizhou and find a place to settle down again.

Qin Yu looked at the silent Li Rubai and continued to persuade: "Master Li, the empire is now sick to the bone. If it is not completely reformed from the inside out, top to bottom, it will inevitably fall apart!"

Li Rubai actually supports this view, but the empire is too huge and involves too many interests and forces. No one can stand up to promote this matter.

Even Li Rubai had already made peace with the Jiedushi envoys from the six northern states earlier. If the empire was really divided, they would unite together.

Of course, this is the worst case scenario. These imperial veterans still hope that the country can remain intact and unified.

Li Rubai sighed and said: "I understand what Qin Zhenren said, but as a border guard minister, all my energy is focused on the external battlefield, and I am really unable to participate in this matter."

Qin Yu immediately said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Li, I have also contacted the royal family of the White Feather Kingdom. Once there is an incident on our side, the White Feather Kingdom will temporarily stop the war, and then Mr. Li can free up his energy!"

Li Rubai looked at Qin Yu with doubt. He didn't quite believe that Qin Yu had the ability to stop the war in the White Feather Kingdom.

Qin Yu continued: "The silver notes that Mr. Li helped me exchange earlier were given by Prince Ning, the eldest prince of the White Feather Kingdom. The third prince, Prince Qing, and I are also sworn brothers. This is Prince Qing's personal token."

As he said this, Qin Yu took out the token that Bai Ziqing had given him and showed it to Li Rubai.

After Li Rubai checked it out, he was completely convinced of Qin Yu's identity. Why did this guy know everyone?

Qin Yu continued: "Actually, His Highness Prince Qing has been tired of war for a long time. He is willing to help me because he hopes that I can promote an armistice between the two countries and bring peace to the two peoples!"

Then Qin Yu stepped forward and said in a sincere tone: "Master Li, what I said today is not to force you to revolt. I just hope that you can help me build a new army."

"In the future, you can make your own decisions based on the situation, but your kindness will never be forgotten by Qin Yu!"

Qin Yu made it very clear. What he said to Li Rubai today was not to ask him to join the Prince's Mansion and start a rebellion. He just wanted him to do it conveniently and help Qin Yu build a new army.

As for how to decide in the future, Li Rubai will make his own decision based on the domestic situation. Whether to invest in the great cause of the Prince's Palace or to protect himself, he decides by himself.

In fact, Li Rubai didn't have much choice. He was already in a dangerous situation.

The Eight Kings did not trust him and kept him at war with the White Feather Kingdom, intending to consume his strength, and the princes of the six northern states were unable to help him.

If this goes on for a long time, when Li Rubai's power is almost exhausted, the Eight Kings will find a crime to get rid of him. By then, Li Rubai will no longer have the strength to stand on his own.

After careful consideration, Li Rubai decided to give it a go and immediately expressed his support for Qin Yu

And not only that, if the White Feather Kingdom can really cease the war in the future, he will raise troops to join the cause of the Prince's Mansion!

All the officials present also expressed their opinions. As for who is sincere and who is fake, and who will report the information afterwards, that is Li Rubai's job.

After receiving Li Rubai's support, Qin Yu's cause of establishing a new army can move forward without any worries.

After the banquet, Qin Yu ordered someone to contact the Prince's Mansion. He interviewed him personally and proposed to meet Princess Zetian.

People from the Prince's Mansion said that they had to contact the headquarters of the Prince's Mansion in Black Iron City for this matter, because they did not have the specific whereabouts of Princess Zetian, but it might take a longer time.

Qin Yu said it didn't matter and let them contact him. It would take a long time to establish the new army anyway.

In addition, Qin Yu also learned that Qin Xuan has always been with Princess Zetian, so he can also see his sister when he meets Princess Zetian this time!

……

In the next month, Qin Yu focused all his energy on the New Army Base

Although the population recruited this time was large, with nearly 50,000 people coming from Shen'an County, only a few of them could be transformed into combatants.

A month passed, Chen Ming and the review team were extremely busy, and in the end they only recruited a thousand soldiers who met the requirements.

However, everything is difficult at the beginning, and it will become easier and easier later. Qin Yu's next step is to expand to the counties and counties near Liaoyuan Prefecture and set up recruitment points everywhere.

This time the requirements are stricter. Unlike the time when Shen'an County accepted everyone, this time only the soldiers who agreed to the request and were recruited can take their families to join the Yuling Army.

Qin Yu is not a money printing machine, so he cannot support so many people in vain. Although the people from Shen'an County have begun to reclaim wasteland and carry out production activities.

However, compared with the huge investment in the early stage, Qin Yu's money is as small as running water. The output of the people is currently enough for them to be self-sufficient, and there is no way to make extra income.

However, when Qin Yu's military industry is established in the future, the situation will improve.

It happened that Huaying also rushed to Liaoji Prefecture with a large number of engineering personnel and a small number of Huaying troops. They came with a total of one thousand people this time.

Among them, 800 engineering personnel and 200 escorting Huaying Army traveled most of the way through the Prince's Mansion's secret teleportation arrays in various places.

The teleportation of so many people cost the Prince's Mansion a huge price. The teleportation array was burning and smoking.

Even so, it still took a month, which shows the vast territory of the empire.

After Huaying joined the new army, Qin Yu immediately asked Huaying to arrange the establishment of related supporting industries.

The new army should imitate the model of Yuling Island, focusing on military use and supplementing civilian use, and go hand in hand.

It is necessary not only to ensure the supply of the army itself, but also to have excess products that can be exchanged for economic benefits.

Huaying also began to intensively recruit and train relevant personnel.

At the same time, Huaying also brought news: Luan Yi has led his troops to the south of Gulanzhou, and the goal is to wipe out the various tribes and small countries in the south.

Although the forces in these places are not strong, they cannot be underestimated when combined. Once the Yu Ling Army and Hu Yanlie begin a formal decisive battle, it will be very troublesome for these forces to respond to Hu Yanlie from the rear.

So Luan Yi led his troops to clear them out first, so that he could concentrate on dealing with Hu Yanlie later.

In addition, following Huaying is an old acquaintance of Qin Yu - Bu Feng!

Bu Feng previously led the peasant uprising in Gulan Prefecture, but later he offered to join Yu Ling's army. It happened that Hua Ying was bringing people to support Qin Yu, so Bu Feng asked to come with him.
