Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 454: Guardian (1)

Mentioning this matter, 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 Son of Heaven Chrysostom said. 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 late, the emperor will never respond. Now, it's all agreed, and it's too late for the emperor to go back on it. "

Lu Mingyu smiled slightly: "On that day, I told my father and emperor that these personal soldiers are still placed in the farm, 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 many, so as not to cause people to be afraid, two thousand is enough.”

Lu Lin said: "Two thousand is too little. To form a personal soldier under the emperor's order, you must have a good look. Furthermore, this is the reward that His Royal Highness has painstakingly asked for you, don't let His Highness be let down in vain. pains.”

"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 many soldiers this time. It is necessary to recruit new recruits for training. I am afraid that it will not be suitable for me to take away 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 be possible in the future. Comes in handy."

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 was stunned when she heard it, she was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Dad is right. There are still about 500 dark guards left, and 4,500 people will be selected from the Xingyang army. Wait for the formation of the personal soldiers. Get up and let Lu Yi go to practice the troops himself."

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

Lu Lin said with a smile: "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. , and then train an elite soldier."

"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, 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 of regenerating one."

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

Lu Lin said casually, "I'm used to living it 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 an age. Dad is only thirty-seven years old, which is his prime."

Emperor Yongjia was in his 40s, and Wang Jieyu gave birth to a little princess. 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.

Leading troops to fight together before, Li Jing and Zheng Zhong Lu Fei were born 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 accounted for 40% of the soldiers, and he was not happy: "This expedition, the Xingyang Army charged forward everywhere, made the most contributions, and lost the most soldiers."

He always had a serious smile on his face, but now with a solemn expression, he said in a low voice, "This is also a matter of no means. /

One will succeed.

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."

At its peak, the Xingyang Army numbered 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 troops. 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.

As an official of the Eastern Palace, Zhou Li was full of plans for His Royal Highness. Hearing the words, he immediately echoed: "If my father-in-law can control an army of 100,000 people, he will be more important in the court. His Royal Highness is a great help. ."

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 the old Qiao Ge, I have to ask His Royal Highness the prince."

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

……

In the evening, the crown prince and 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 negotiated for a long time.

After dark, Lu Fei returned to the yard.

Brother Zhuang rushed out immediately 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 pale purple robes, came over~IndoMTL.com~ smiled and said, "You have a face full of stubble, and you don't shave it. You always make a strong brother shout."

Lu Fei grinned: "If I shaved my face clean, I would be teased 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 and how easy-going he smiles, no soldier would dare to be presumptuous in front of him.

The couple teased a few words 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 military camp is confidential, so you don't need to say it. Get up early tomorrow and go!"
