Chapter 635 Royal Secret Library
Hearing King Yeman sighed when he could regain the twenty provinces occupied by the Polu Army, the great prince Yidris immediately said: "Father, although our Dayuan Kingdom suffered a great loss in this war with the Polu Army, the foundation of our Dayuan Kingdom has not wavered. With the foundation of our Dayuan Kingdom, after a few years of rest and recuperation, we can still have millions or even tens of millions of elite troops. It is a chance to regain the twenty provinces occupied by the Polu Army!"
The second prince Yimad followed and said, "Father, the Polu Army had just snatched a large amount of territory from Lu some time ago. Lu must be hated by the Polu Army to the core. If our Dayuan Kingdom seeks the Polu Army to take revenge in the future, we can form an alliance with Lu for the Polu Army!"
The third prince Charalari also said: "Father, there are many enemies of the Polu Army. This time, the major powerful tribes on the grassland and the Qingyi people in the 100,000 mountains have all participated in the alliance to attack the Polu Army. If we take the lead next time, the major powerful tribes on the grassland and the Qingyi people will definitely respond!"
The words of the three princes made King Yeman nodded, "It seems that our Dayuan Kingdom will have to rest for a while. During this period, our Dayuan Kingdom will never take the initiative to provoke the Polu Army."
At this time, Duke Fawaz said: "His Majesty the King, this time we have signed an armistice agreement with the Polu Army, which stipulates that our Dayuan Kingdom must pay 100 million taels of gold in war compensation to the Polu Army. The down payment will have to pay 30 million taels of gold, and the other 70 million taels of gold can be paid off in the next ten years. However, our Dayuan Kingdom will eventually need to pay about 30 million taels of gold in an extra interest. Now the treasury is empty, and we can't even get the 30 million taels of gold in the down payment."
After the Polu Army captured Dayuan City for the first time, it plundered a large amount of wealth, with more than 100 million taels of gold alone. The Polu Army captured Dayuan City for the second time, and took away a large amount of wealth from Dayuan City, almost emptied the treasury of Dayuan and the imperial palace of Dayuan City.
King Yeman pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that we have to use the royal secret warehouses of our Dayuan Kingdom, otherwise, let alone the army will be reorganized to prepare for war, even the gold that was compensated to the Polu Army will not be able to take out now!"
Duke Fawaz couldn't help but lit up, "His Majesty the King, does our Dayuan Kingdom really have the legendary royal secret library?"
When the three princes heard King Yeman mention the royal secret ku, their faces showed shock. The three of them had never heard of the existence of the Dayuan Kingdom and the royal secret ku.
King Yeman nodded and said, "The Royal Secrets do exist, and have existed for more than 150 years. According to the royal family's regulations, the Royal Secrets can only be opened when the Dayuan Kingdom is in danger of national destruction. As for the secret of the Royal Secrets, only the successive kings of our Dayuan Kingdom have the right to know."
The eldest prince Yidris immediately asked, "Father, what is in the royal secret library?"
King Yeman shook his head and said, "Gu doesn't know how much there is in the Royal Secret. Gu's father told me that the property in the Royal Secret was actually the stolen wars of the Western Orthodox Church in the Western Continent when the Holy Fire Cult launched a holy war against the Western Orthodox Church in the Western Continent. According to Gu's estimate, there should be a lot of property in it."
The second prince Imad asked, "Father, is the royal secret ku in the palace?"
King Yeman said: "It is not in the imperial palace, nor in Dayuan City. Thanks to the royal secret depot not being built in Dayuan City, once even the royal secret depot falls into the hands of the Polu Army, our Dayuan Kingdom really has no chance to turn over!"
The third prince Charalari immediately asked, "Father, where is the royal secret custody?"
King Yeman said: "The Royal Secret Reservoir was built in a valley more than 100 miles away from Dayuan City. Now the Polu Army has successively occupied 20 provinces of our Dayuan Kingdom, which has posed a threat to our Dayuan Kingdom's destruction. Therefore, I decided to open the Royal Secret Reservoir and take out the property inside, part of which serves as compensation, and the remaining property will be left for our Dayuan Kingdom to reorganize the army and prepare for war."
Then, King Yeman, three princes and Duke Fawaz personally led the royal guards and palace guards to a valley more than 100 miles east of Dayuan City, opening the royal secret warehouse of Dayuan.
The property in the Royal Secret Reservoir immediately made Yeman and others extremely excited. In a huge underground cave in the valley, Yeman and his friends found a mountain of gold, silver and jewelry. Finally, after statistics, the gold stored in the Royal Secret Reservoir exceeded 300 million taels. If other property is included, the total value is at least 500 million taels of gold.
The eldest prince Yidris said to King Yeman with a little excited voice: "Father, with this batch of treasures in the royal secret warehouse, our Dayuan country is enough to reorganize tens of millions of troops and take back the twenty provinces occupied by the Polu Army!"
King Yeman seemed not so excited. "The Polu Army not only took away the twenty provinces of our Dayuan Kingdom, but also took away more than 40 million people of our Dayuan Kingdom. In addition, the tens of millions of young and strong people lost in the war, even if we have sufficient funds, it is difficult to expand the scale of our Dayuan Kingdom army to more than ten million, alas."
Duke Fawaz next to him nodded and said, "What His Majesty the King said is that more than 40 million people were taken away by the Polu Army, and then the tens of millions of young and strong people lost in the war. The remaining 54 provinces in our Dayuan Kingdom have a total population of about 110 million. With this 110 million people, it is indeed difficult to form an army of more than 10 million. Once too many young and strong people are summoned to the army, it will inevitably affect the grain output of our Dayuan Kingdom. Without enough food, our Dayuan Kingdom cannot afford to support tens of millions of troops."
At this time, the second prince Imad asked the king Yeman and Duke Fawaz: "Father, Uncle Fawaz, then how large should our Dayuan army maintain next?"
King Yeman pondered for a moment, then turned his head and asked Duke Fawaz, "Fawaz, what do you think of our Dayuan country's next military preparations?"
Duke Fawaz immediately said: "His Majesty the King, through this war with the Polu Army, I believe that the army is in essence but not in many. The next military preparation must continue the tradition of our Dayuan Kingdom and form a legion that can truly fight tough battles. Even the millions of troops in our Dayuan Kingdom have to be reorganized. Many of the millions of troops in our Dayuan Kingdom can only be regarded as the level of auxiliary troops."
King Yeman nodded slightly, "I think so too. If there weren't too many new recruits in our Dayuan army, I wouldn't have lost so badly."
King Yeman had actually regretted it long ago. If he could endure a few more years and leave a few more years of training for the newly formed legions of Dayuan Kingdom, the end of the war might be different. If he regretted it, King Yeman would never say it.
Duke Fawaz continued: "Your Majesty the King, I suggest that our Dayuan Kingdom reorganize the organization of twenty cavalry corps and forty infantry corpses in half a year, and then increase the training of the reorganized sixty corpses, so as to strive to make these twenty cavalry corpses and forty infantry corpses become elite troops on the battlefield in three years."
According to the organization of the Dayuan Army, each legion has about 100,000 people, twenty cavalry corps and forty infantry corps, that is, six million troops.
At present, there are about 6 million troops in the Dayuan Kingdom. If the Dayuan Kingdom army wants to maintain the organization of twenty cavalry corps and forty infantry corps, there is basically no need to recruit young and strong troops to join the Dayuan Kingdom army.
The eldest prince Yidris frowned and said, "Uncle Fawaz, is it too small to retain only twenty cavalry corps and forty infantry corps? According to the news we have obtained, the scale of the Polu Army has long exceeded tens of millions!"
Duke Fawaz sighed and said, "Big Prince, our Dayuan Kingdom lost too much youth and strong this time, and with the cemetery of more than 20 million people in ten provinces, it is not easy for the army to maintain the size of twenty cavalry corps and forty infantry corps."
At this time, King Yeman said, "Fawaz, I also felt that the size of the sixty legions was a little small. The first step in our Dayuan Kingdom to prepare for the military to reorganize the twenty-four cavalry corpses and forty-eight infantry corpses!"
When Duke Fawaz heard that King Yeman had suddenly increased the organization of four cavalry corpses and eight infantry corpses, he couldn't help but sigh. The addition of twelve additional corpses means that another 1.2 million young and strong men need to be recruited to join the army. This is definitely a heavy burden for the Dayuan Kingdom, which has just lost tens of millions of young and strong men.
Duke Fawaz hesitated and said, "His Majesty the King, in that case, the army must recruit another one.2 million young and strong people, for the present..."
Before Duke Fawaz finished his words, he was interrupted by King Yeman, "No matter how many millions of people in our Dayuan Kingdom say, we will have another million people. If we recruit another one. There should be no problem."
King Yeman then asked the three princes to secretly transport the property in the Dayuan royal secret warehouse back to the imperial palace in Dayuan City with more than 100 royal guards.
King Yeman and Duke Fawaz returned to the imperial palace of Dayuan City under the protection of more than 100 other royal guards.
In a palace in the Dayuan City Imperial Palace, King Yeman sighed and said to Duke Fawaz: "The three sons of Gu are actually not the materials for leading troops. In this war with the Polu Army, it would be great if Gu could let you be the head coach!"
Duke Fawaz quickly said: "His Majesty the King, in fact, the three princes have good points in leading troops, but the enemy they face this time is too powerful. Even if the ministers are the head coach, the same result should be the end. After all, our Dayuan Kingdom is not well prepared for this war."
King Yeman nodded and said, "If you are not sure in the future, Gu will never provoke the Polu Army again! Fawaz, Gu is preparing to let you serve as the Grand Marshal of the Dayuan Kingdom. I wonder if you are willing?"
When Duke Fawaz heard this, he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty the King, it is better for me to assist the great prince in training troops. As for the position of the Grand Marshal of the Army, it is better for the vacancies to remain vacant. There cannot be any chaos within our Dayuan Kingdom!"
King Yeman understood what Duke Fawaz was worried about. The position of the Grand Marshal of the Army was too sensitive. Once Duke Fawaz took this position, he would definitely be suspicious of the eldest prince.
The eldest prince Yidris is the first heir to the throne of Dayuan. The second prince Imad and the third prince Charari, the second prince, have a very good relationship with the eldest prince Yidris. Not only will it not pose any threat to the eldest prince Yidris, but it will still help both.
Duke Fawaz originally supported the great prince Yidris, but if Duke Fawaz became the Grand Marshal who could control almost all the troops of Dayuan, then the great prince Yidris might not even sleep well.
King Yeman changed the subject next and stopped talking about the Grand Marshal of the Army. "How did millions of Polu Army enter Dayuan City? Are there any clues?"
Duke Fawaz shook his head and said, "His Majesty the King, the Shadow has not found any clues yet. The millions of Polu Army seemed to appear in Dayuan City out of thin air!"
King Yeman frowned and asked, "Will the Polu Army control a secret passage from outside the city to inside the city?"
"Your Majesty the King, if you want to reach Dayuan City from the territory controlled by the Polu Army, it will be at least thousands of miles away. At such a long distance, we will never find a team of more than one million people. I don't believe that the Polu Army will dig out a secret passage that is thousands of miles long!"
"Oh, it's really weird. Let the shadow continue to investigate! By the way, the Polu Army captured Dayuan City, how are the people of the Holy Fire Sect doing?"
"Report to His Majesty the King, after the Polu Army appeared in Dayuan City, all the people from the Holy Fire Cult's Church suddenly disappeared mysteriously. Now those from the Holy Fire Cult have appeared in their Holy Fire Cult's Church again. It is certain that there must be a secret passage leading to outside Dayuan City in the Holy Fire Cult's Church!"
"Henggu has no energy to pay attention to the Holy Fire Cult for the time being. As long as the people of the Holy Fire Cult do not interfere with our Dayuan Kingdom's next military preparations, our Dayuan Kingdom will continue to be in peace with the Holy Fire Cult."
"His Majesty the King, Prime Minister Saffwan has been taken away by the Polu Army. Will a new Prime Minister be appointed?"
