Zhang Mai frowned. "Sir, if all else fails, why don't we ask His Majesty the Emperor for help? Without an army here, we're really not safe. This is a good opportunity to send at least tens of thousands of troops, or even hundreds of thousands, here. Only then can we truly guarantee our safety."
Chen Ying shook his head. "Now, His Majesty the Emperor has asked us to come here, so naturally, we can get things done here by ourselves. We can't solve the problem ourselves, so if we bother His Majesty about everything, that's probably not what a capable person should do."
As a young man, Chen Ying is still very ambitious.
Although if these people encounter problems outside that they cannot solve, they can directly seek help from the emperor, that is also acceptable.
But if that were the case, then their contribution would be diminished.
The Emperor's personal involvement would have taken some of the credit. Furthermore, if the Emperor were to send troops, he would certainly have sent a general.
The general will also share some of the credit.
Even if the general is smart enough, he may be able to take most of the credit.
If this is the case, it would not be a good thing for them.
Now, each of these people is arrogant and proud. Who would be willing to have the credit they have earned distributed like this?
Zhang Mai asked anxiously, "If we don't ask His Majesty for help, how can we solve this problem? We're facing a powerful nation that lives on plunder. How can we fight against such a nation on our own?"
Chen Ying said, "That may not be the case. In fact, every one of these people from the New World is very powerful. They have thick skin and strong muscles, and they are extremely strong. This kind of combat power is actually more than enough. Besides, there is actually not much difference between the soldiers and civilians of the Are Empire. If we need to use them, we can use their own people!"
"You mean..." Zhang Mai's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this, but then he shook his head, "Is this really okay? If we control the army and are completely theirs, they might turn against us, and then we might have no way out."
Chen Ying said, "What are you afraid of? I never trust people's character. I believe in the binding of interests. Now these guys have combined the interests of our Great Qin Empire. If their emperor wants to deal with our people, it will damage their interests. They will definitely not give up so easily. Maybe even if we don't say anything, they are already preparing. Such a war is inevitable after all."
Zhang Mai became even more worried after hearing this: "But if this continues, can we really win? Although our business here is in full swing, the people we control are still a minority compared to the entire Are Empire. Our military strength is inferior to that of the enemy. Can we really defeat them like this?"
Chen Ying shook his head and said, "Don't judge by appearances. You should look at the nature of our armies. We currently control several million people. Among these millions, apart from the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, there are at least one million young and strong men who can serve as soldiers. Even if the vast majority of these one million cannot participate in the battle, if a portion is taken away, we can at least form an army of several hundred thousand. Our army of several hundred thousand is very different from the enemy's."
As Zhao Xin's student, Chen Ying had also heard Zhao Xin talk about it.
Sometimes the strength of an army does not lie in its equipment, training, or even the number of its members.
Sometimes, even the level of the army's generals cannot be determined.
What truly determines the outcome of a war is human willpower. And the essence of human willpower lies in one's enthusiasm for the war.
Chen Ying said, "Now that we control these millions of people, every one of them can have enough food and clothing, and can use all the new supplies and equipment of our Great Qin Empire. They have a great yearning for our Great Qin Empire. It can be said that our Great Qin Empire has allowed these people to live the best life. They fight for their own lives. In contrast, those people in the Are Empire, what are they fighting for?"
After such a long time, Chen Ying naturally understood it.
The Are Empire itself was a country that made a living by robbery.
This country makes a living by robbery, but what they rob is not given to ordinary civilians.
Most of the looted items were left to the nobles of the Are Empire. Ordinary civilians got almost nothing. Sometimes they couldn't even get enough to eat, let alone anything else.
In such a situation, what motivation can they have?
No way, that's absolutely impossible.
Zhang Mai nodded: "Okay, I understand now, but we still have to go find Pang Teng for this matter."
It can be said that Pang Teng's life has changed dramatically now. He had never realized before that a person could live like this.
They don't need to put in much labor, but they can earn a lot of money.
With this money, you can buy anything you want from the Qin Empire.
Now he can be said to be very rich. Not only can he spend money very willfully, but he also has to leave a large part for your family and children.
Even so, he felt that his life was very luxurious.
Before this, even the nobles of the Are Empire, no, even the emperor of the Are Empire, could not compare to him.
As for the nobles of the Are Empire, they are also no match for ordinary people like them.
Because the Great Qin Empire had many new inventions and new products, which brought people great enjoyment. They were not comparable to the simple things that the nobles of the previous Are Empire played with!
Of course, Pang Teng has now discovered one thing, that is, their former emperor has now set his sights on them. If nothing unexpected happens, they have now become absolute targets.
Pang Teng was naturally very anxious, and he was also discussing this matter with his many companions. Seeing his companions, they were all filled with indignation.
Among them, a young man named Han Long gritted his teeth and said, "That Cheng Wudi, don't they really know their place? On what basis do they have? On what basis do they have the right to rob us of our wealth without paying anything? Are these so-called nobles so special? But I can't see what's so special about them and me."
