   Chapter 454 Personal Soldiers (1)

   Bringing this up, Lu Mingyu's brows and eyes widened: "Yes. The father just returned to the palace, and he didn't know the news of Su Concubine's death. Li Jing opened his mouth to ask the father for a reward. The father has already agreed."

  The words of the emperor Chrysostom. There is no reason to change what is promised.

  Lu Lin raised his eyebrows and laughed suddenly: "His Royal Highness really knows how to choose the right time. If it's a day or two later, the emperor will never answer. Now, all the answers have been answered, and it's too late for the emperor to go back on his words."

Lu Mingyu smiled slightly: "On that day, I told the father and emperor that these personal soldiers are still placed in the farmhouse, and they will not be exposed to others when they have nothing to do. As for the personal soldiers, they will select some elites from the Xingyang Army. The total number does not need to be too large. More, so as not to make people jealous, two thousand is enough."

But Lu Lin said: "Two thousand is too little. To set up personal soldiers according to the emperor's order, you must have good looks. Besides, this is the reward that His Royal Highness has painstakingly asked for you. "

   "Let's form 5,000 personal soldiers!"

  Lu Mingyu was startled, raised his eyes and looked at Lu Lin: "The Xingyang Army has killed and injured a lot of soldiers this time. We need to recruit new recruits for training. I'm afraid it's not suitable for me to take so many veterans."

"Nothing is inappropriate." Lu Lin whispered: "Xiaoyu, the crown prince only has one thousand personal soldiers. If something goes wrong, this manpower will not be enough. If you raise more personal soldiers, it may come in handy in the future. ."

   What Lu Lin said was meaningful.

  Prince can't raise soldiers clearly, it's better to raise more elite soldiers in the name of her crown princess.

   In case one day in the future, the father and son of the heavenly family are suspicious... She and Li Jing also have the power to protect themselves.

Lu Mingyu heard a shudder in his heart, silent for a moment, and nodded: "Dad is right. There are about 500 dark guards left, and 4,500 people will be selected from the Xingyang Army. When the personal soldiers are formed, let Lu Yi is going to train in person."

After    finished speaking, he was a little apologetic: "Father, I took the elite soldiers away, and you have to recruit and train new soldiers again."

Lu Lin smiled and said: "Silly girl, talk to your father about such silly things. Isn't mine yours? Besides, there will be no major battles in the future, more time. I will spend two years training again. It's just a good army."

   "You don't have to worry about Lu Fei's place. You are just like brothers and sisters, and you have a deep relationship. I gave you a good soldier, and Lu Fei will never be angry or unhappy."

   "From now on, the entire Xingyang Army belongs to him."

  Lu Mingyu smiled and hummed.

   After talking about the business, Lu Lin smiled again: "You and the prince have such a good relationship, and only two children are too few. It would be good to have two more."

Lu Mingyu was not ashamed and replied with a smile: "Before, Your Highness and I were both injured and should not be pregnant. Now that my body has been taken care of, my brother and sister are over two years old. I am also thinking about rebirth. One."

   smiled and said, "Father can stay in the capital in the future, and you don't have to go out to fight every now and then. Why don't you continue to live in another room!"

  Lu Lin said casually, "I'm used to living alone for so many years. Now that I'm getting older, it's good to live like this."

  Lu Mingyu said with a smile: "What age. Dad is only thirty-seven years old, which is his prime."

  Emperor Yongjia was in his forties and gave birth to a little princess to Wang Jieyu. If Lu Lin was willing to continue, it would be nice to have another young son, Cheng Huan.

  However, Lu Lin had no interest in this matter, and quickly brought the topic back to the personal soldiers.

  …

   The father and daughter talked for over an hour in the study.

   Li Jing and Zheng Zhong Lu Fei and Zhou Li were also talking.

   Before leading the army to fight together, Li Jing and Zheng Zhong Lu Fei lived and died together and cultivated a deep friendship. Zhou Li, who was not so pleasing to the eye in the past, has been in the East Palace for more than two years, and he is conscientious and dedicated. Li Jing also slowly changed his opinion on Zhou Li. Talking in one place is now much closer.

  Zheng Zhong and Lu Fei are both generals in the Xingyang Army. When it comes to things in the barracks, it can be said that there will be no repetition for three days and three nights.

  Li Jing heard that the Xingyang Army converted 40% of its soldiers, and he was not happy: "This time, the Xingyang Army charged forward everywhere, made the most contributions, and lost the most soldiers."

   used to have a solemn smile on his face, but at this moment he looked solemn and said in a low voice, "This is also a no-brainer. The Zhao family's army refused to do anything at first. It was our Xingyang army who attacked the city, and it was inevitable that more people would die."

   Once you succeed, your bones will die.

   On the battlefield, soldiers should not be afraid to move forward. The result of being brave and not afraid of death is that many people die.

  Lu Fei also sighed: "Fortunately, after this battle, the world will be much more peaceful. My adoptive father said that we should recruit more new soldiers. We will expand the Xingyang army to 100,000."

   Xingyang's army at its peak was 80,000. Now that the casualties are heavy, to expand to 100,000 means recruiting about 50,000 new soldiers.

   It costs a lot to raise and train soldiers. Once Lu Lin made a memorial, not to mention others, the Minister of the Ministry of Housing would definitely be the first to object. Even Emperor Yongjia might not agree.

  Li Jing's eyes flashed: "Father-in-law has this plan, I will definitely help father-in-law."

  The Lu family is a staunch supporter of the East Palace. The Xingyang Army has sufficient troops, which is also a good thing for Li Jing.

   Zhou Li, as an official of the East Palace, was full of plans for His Royal Highness. Hearing the words, he immediately agreed: "If my father-in-law can control an army of 100,000 people, he will have a heavier weight in the court. It is a great help for His Royal Highness."

  Lu Fei looked at Li Jing: "The adoptive father and the Minister of the Ministry of War have quite a personal relationship. As for the Ministry of Household and Mr. Qiao Ge, please ask His Royal Highness."

  Li Jingjing nodded: "Leave this matter to me."

  …

  In the evening, the crown prince and the concubine bid farewell to everyone and led the child back to the palace.

   Lu Lin called Lu Fei into the study alone.

  The father and son discussed for a long time.

   After dark, Lu Feicai returned to the yard.

   Brother Zhuang immediately rushed out when he heard the footsteps. Lu Fei picked up his fat son with a smile, and kissed Little Fatty on the cheek. Brother Zhuang was poked by his stubble and shouted.

  Shen Lan, who was dressed in light purple robes, came over and said with a smile: "You have a face full of stubble, and you won't shave it. You always make the strong brother shout."

   Lu Fei grinned: "If I shaved my face clean, I would have to be laughed at by the soldiers as a little white face when I entered the barracks."

  General, you have to be more dignified.

   Mainly because Lu Fei is too young. Just like Lu Lin, no matter how clean-shaven his face is, no matter how easy-going he smiles, no soldier dares to be presumptuous in front of him.

   The husband and wife laughed and ate dinner together. When Brother Zhuang was carried away by the nanny, he made out for a while.

  Lu Fei said in a low voice, "Sister Lan, I wanted to accompany you more. However, my adoptive father explained to me a very important matter. I have to go back to the military camp tomorrow morning."

   Shen Lan was startled and looked up at Lu Fei: "What's the matter?"

   Without waiting for Lu Fei to open his mouth, he immediately said: "The matter in the barracks is confidential, so you don't need to say it. Get up early tomorrow and go!"
