After completing their training in the corps, the soldiers of the Xinghua Legion will serve in the corps for a fixed period of time, during which the soldiers will receive ideological education and physical training, skill training, and so on. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Only after completing military service can you officially become a citizen of the Xinghua Empire.

The citizens of the Xinghua Empire, unlike ordinary citizens, are qualified to serve as members of the parliament and have the right to be elected as officials, which is clearly stipulated in the laws of the Xinghua Empire. Therefore, when the soldiers of the Xinghua Legion have completed their military service, they will become the owners of these vested interests, and having citizenship can also make them more confident, and they will naturally be grateful to the Xinghua Empire, so that they can wholeheartedly safeguard the interests of the Empire in Yunzhou.

Therefore, Qin Zhengguo believed that these Xinghua legion soldiers who were about to retire would be staunch supporters of the Xinghua imperial system and staunch opponents of the Xia state.

"Chengjun, what is the movement of the Xia army?" Qin Zhengguo asked Qin Chengjun.

Qin Chengjun is the director of the Yunzhou Intelligence Bureau, controlling all intelligence matters in Yunzhou, and is directly under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau. However, in addition, Qin Chengjun also had the responsibility of providing intelligence support to the governor of Yunzhou and the Xinghua army.

Therefore, what intelligence information Qin Zhengguo wants to grasp is naturally the most direct and accurate from Qin Chengjun's mouth.

"Lord Qiqi, the Intelligence Bureau deliberately sent elite intelligence officers before, disguised as businessmen, and after conducting secret reconnaissance for several days, they did find something. The Xia army arranged a large camp in the southwest north of Jianguan, and the army stationed in this camp is conservatively estimated to be no less than 200,000. More importantly, the summer army in the large camp stepped up their drills every day, day and night, and it seemed that they were preparing for a big battle. Qin Chengjun said.

Qin Zhengguo frowned, then the corners of his mouth lifted, revealing a disapproving smile, and said, "They are prepared, and we are not incompetent people who are vegetarians and wait for them to attack. After a pause, Qin Zhengguo turned his gaze to Zhao Chang and Che Enren and asked, "How is the recruitment and training of the new army of the Yunzhou Legion?"

Zhao Chang pondered for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and reported: "On the basis of the Xinghua Baomin Army and the Xiemin Army, and at the same time, we also recruited suitable troops in Yunzhou and reorganized them into an army, and the current Yunzhou Army has reached 100,000 people. According to the empire's classification of the legion, the current Yunzhou legion has reached the combat effectiveness of the second-level legion. ”

Zhao Chang first reported the general situation of the Yunzhou Legion to Qin Zhengguo, and then he carefully reported the specific equipment and military strength of the Yunzhou Legion, the division of troops, and the current training progress to Qin Zhengguo one by one.

From Zhao Chang's statement, Qin Zhengguo learned that among them, the Yunzhou Legion was subdivided into three classes:

The first level is the assault corps, which is the main corps, with a strength of about 10,000 troops, and the whole army is equipped with: submachine guns, grenades, mortars and other weapons and equipment. Mainly stationed in the two areas of Shucheng and Jianguan in Yunzhou, respectively, 3,000 soldiers were stationed in Shucheng in Yunzhou, while 7,000 soldiers were deployed in Jianguan;

The second level is the Rifle Corps, which is an ordinary corps with a strength of about 30,000 people, and the whole army is equipped with: semi-automatic rifles, grenades and other weapons. The second-level army was mainly stationed in the central area of the city, of which 20,000 were stationed in Jianguan, and 10,000 were distributed in various counties and counties in Yunzhou to suppress reactionary forces;

The third level is the Iron Legion, which is a reserve legion with a strength of about 60,000 people, and the whole army is equipped with: steel swords, bows and crossbows and other weapons. The main responsibilities of the reserve legionnaires of the large army are: to assist the main army and the ordinary army to defend the city, and when the main army and the ordinary army are insufficient, they can also be armed and put into battle at any time, or to help the government maintain law and order, or in wartime, to protect the army's supply lines and ensure military supplies. In addition, the soldiers of the reserve legion, compared with the rifle corps and the steel corps, have to take into account one more important task in their daily life, that is, when there is no specific task, they receive intensive training, seize the time to familiarize themselves with the use of firearms and other weapons, and learn strategy and tactics.

Knowing that the Yunzhou Legion had been quite effective, Qin Zhengguo was very pleased. The Yunzhou army will be the main army to resist the Xia army, if Qin Chengjun's intelligence is accurate, then it is obvious that the war that the Xia army is about to trigger must be coming towards Yunzhou, they cannot allow the Xinghua Empire to occupy Yunzhou, they want to recover the lost territory. Therefore, the Xinghua Empire Legion stationed in Yunzhou, the Yunzhou Legion, will have the unshirkable responsibility to shoulder the important responsibility of protecting the territory and must strive to ensure that the Yunzhou region is not lost. The great responsibility naturally requires that the strength of the legion must be strong.

When it came to the part of the reserve corps, Cha Eun-in appropriately added: "Lord Qiyu, although the training of the new army is quite effective, when it comes to going to the battlefield, I am afraid that they are not enough, and they still lack actual combat experience, so they are not enough to be sent into battle. ”

In terms of specific responsibilities, Zhao Chang was responsible for the staff of the Yunzhou Regiment of the Xinghua Army, while Che Enren was the chief executor of the training of the whole army.

Therefore, Cha Enren timely put forward the shortcomings of the reserve corps, which is extremely important for improving the Yunzhou corps: "It's a pity that Yunzhou has been calm recently, even if you want to suppress bandits and train recruits, it is difficult to find hard bones. Besides, some bandits, the government can send troops, those are all small thieves, and the new recruits may not have training results, but they are overkill. ”

When everyone heard this, they all felt that what they said was very true, and they all thought about countermeasures, but Zhao Chang thought about it, and suddenly had an idea, he immediately raised his head and made a suggestion to Qin Zhengguo: "Old Qin, in fact, if we really want to train the actual combat skills of the new army, it is not completely impossible, in fact, there is an extremely suitable opportunity." The Shanyue tribe in the south, they are rebelling in the south of the Xia Kingdom. Not so long ago, we also supported a batch of weapons. If we send a small army, under the leadership of the Shanyue people, to cross the mountains and sneak into the mountains in the southern part of the Xia Kingdom, there should be no problem. ”

Zhao Chang and Qin Zhengguo are partners, and they call Lao Qin without any sense of disobedience.

When Qin Zhengguo heard this, he didn't say a word, and thought about Zhao Chang's suggestion carefully, and indeed felt that this suggestion was very reliable. Because of the vast mountains, steep dense forests, dangerous poisonous fog and fierce beasts, it is difficult to connect the southern part of Yunzhou with the rest of the southern Xia Kingdom, so few people choose to take the mountain road. However, difficulties do not mean impossible, the Shanyue people are people in the mountains, they used the lives of their clansmen to pile up a few mountain paths, or can maintain the connection between the Shanyue people in Yunzhou and the Shanyue people at the other end.

Obviously, Zhao Chang's suggestion is feasible.

"It's a good plan, but it needs the support of the Shanyue people. Qin Zhengguo said.

"The Shanyue people in Yunzhou are also willing to serve His Majesty the Emperor as the main thing, and they have also recognized their national identity. We can entrust the Shanyue people in the territory to negotiate with the Shanyue people on the other side. Perhaps, as soon as our proposal is spoken, the Shanyue tribe over there will immediately agree. Zhao Chang said with a smile.

When Qin Zhengguo heard this, he remembered a report he saw not long ago, and laughed.

The Shanyue tribe wanted independence, raised the banner in the southern part of the Xia Kingdom, and rebelled. However, under the frantic suppression of the Xia army, the strength of the Shanyue tribe was naturally not able to match it, but could only retreat one after another. If there is no external intervention, the Shanyue tribe is afraid that it will be defeated.

From the perspective of the Xinghua Empire, Qin Zhengguo naturally did not want the situation in Xia to be stable, and the more chaotic the better! Only when the situation in Xia was chaotic could they not concentrate the strength of one country to attack Yunzhou. Therefore, uniting the Shanyue tribe and dealing with common enemies with each other can make the Xia court useless, and secondly, it can also make the Xinghua Empire have the advantage of adding wings to the tiger.

Zhao Chang's suggestion was quickly adopted by everyone. Qin Zhengguo immediately discussed in detail with Zhao Chang and others a specific plan for sending troops to the southern part of Xia and training troops.

However, this plan involves going out to fight, and naturally it first needs to be approved by the Imperial Cabinet. Therefore, without delay, Qin Zhengguo quickly sent a telegram to the imperial capital to submit the plan to the cabinet, and then could only wait patiently for the cabinet to pass the review and approve their plan, so that the plan could be implemented as soon as possible. Of course, before the proposal is approved, His Majesty the Emperor will also review it personally, and if there is a problem, he can submit a cancellation in accordance with the procedure.

According to the general rules of the imperial system, if there is a conflict between the Emperor and the Cabinet on any proposal, the proposal is brought before the Parliament for detailed discussion, and His Majesty may no longer oppose the proposal, even if he insists on his own disagreement, as long as two-thirds of the members of the Parliament support the opinion of the Cabinet.

The change in Yunzhou is gratifying. Yi Xingchen was also very satisfied with the performance of several officials in Yunzhou, especially Qin Zhengguo, Zhao Chang, and Che Enren. However, Qin Zhengguo's qualifications are not high, and he can't give him too high a position, and the Shucheng City Guard is already an extremely high position, and he still needs to be experienced. Zhao Chang is also thinking the same way. Cha Eun-in is a little different, after all, he is a businessman and an official, and he doesn't seem to want to be an official, but he still wants to complete the task and return to the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce to be a businessman.

Yi Xingchen smiled slightly, and signed and agreed to the plan submitted by the cabinet for Yunzhou to send troops to assist the Shanyue tribe. In any case, the abilities of the three people still need to be constantly tested. As long as their ability is high enough, Yi Xingchen will not be stingy with power and status.

Yi Xingchen continued to deal with state affairs, and after a while, a guard from the palace came to report that Liu Yiyi had returned to the palace with the prince.

When Yi Xingchen heard this, he immediately put down his state affairs and got up and rushed to the harem.

In the harem, Liu Yiyi was lying on the bed, breastfeeding the prince.

Yi Xingchen walked over quietly and looked at Liu Yiyi and his son with a smile.

"Wife......" Yi Xingchen said softly.

"Husband, are you done with state affairs?" asked Liu Yiyi.

"Well, I'm done!" Yi Xingchen looked at his wife and son, very happy in his heart.

"Husband, have you named your son?" asked Liu Yiyi as she looked at Yi Xingchen with her eyes.

Yi Xingchen was stunned for a moment, he forgot. However, Yi Xingchen was not so stupid, he smiled and said, "Wife, what do you want your son's name to be?"

Liu Yiyi smiled and said: "You are his father, you must have named him, I don't have any ideas." ”

Yi Xingchen was anxious, thought about it, and said, "How about Hanzhang......?"

"It's too ordinary......" Liu Yiyi shook her head slightly.

"How about being reasonable, be a reasonable person......" Yi Xingchen proposed another name.

Liu Yiyi still shook her head, saying that it was still too ordinary.

Then, Yi Xingchen said several times in a row, but Liu Yiyi was not very satisfied. Later, Yi Xingchen mentioned a few more names, and he didn't need Liu Yiyi to give his opinion, and he didn't think it was beautiful.

Liu Yiyi looked at Yi Xingchen's distressed appearance, smiled slightly, and said, "Husband, we should ask the elders to give us advice!"

"Elder, I don't have any elders anymore. Yi Xingchen said regretfully, he remembered his deceased mother again.

"The former Prime Minister Sheehan, he was a nice guy. Liu Yiyi said.

"Sheehan, indeed, is a good candidate. Tomorrow, I will proclaim him into the palace...... There are also some old people, all of whom asked them to take a look at our prince. Yi Xingchen nodded.

A long time ago, when Yi Xingchen had not yet become a king, Sheehan was the spiritual leader of Xinghua Kingdom. Moreover, he is also a pastor, and he has many skills to calm people's hearts and be highly respected.

Next, Yi Xingchen stayed in the dormitory to accompany Liu Yiyi and the prince.

The next morning, Yi Xingchen got up and took his son who had just finished drinking milk to the palace study. Yi Xingchen teased his son while reading the paperwork. Liu Yiyi stayed in the bedroom to sleep, she had just given birth and needed to rest.

Yi Xingchen invited Sheen and several other respected citizens to come to the palace study to meet and meet the prince by the way.

After a while, Sheehan and the others entered the palace.

"Your Majesty, God bless the country of Xinghua!" said Sheen hugged the little prince and said with a smile.

Yi Xingchen said with a smile: "I haven't thought about it yet, what to name the prince, you are all respected citizens in China, do you have any good names?"

"Your Majesty, the name of the prince should be chosen by you! No matter what the name of the prince is, he is the prince of the empire, that is, the son of His Majesty!" Sheen smiled and continued: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a request!"

"Well, you say, right?" Yi Xingchen said with a smile.

"Weichen wants to use the priest's blessing technique for the prince, so that the prince can grow up healthy and healthy, and he will not be invaded by all diseases. Sheehan said.

"Does the priest still have such skills?" Yi Xingchen wondered.

Sheehan replied, "This is my newly learned pastoral skill! After blessing, babies and young children will have an aura in their bodies, improve their immunity, and reduce the chance of getting sick." ”

Yi Xingchen laughed, nodded and said, "Okay, the kid is lucky." After you choose a name, you will perform the blessing spell!" (To be continued.) )
