More than 100,000 Han troops mobilized from Shaanxi were quickly armed by the Mongols.

Genghis Khan coerced and coerced craftsmen with heavy rewards and beheadings to make lighter copper cannons and gun carriages that could withstand nine-pound cannons, as well as imitations of flintlock pistols obtained from the East China Sea.

Once any weapon or equipment is equipped on a large scale, once it has been used on the battlefield and is known to the enemy, then secrecy becomes almost impossible, because the technical content is too low and it is too easy to imitate.

This is also why, in modern Europe, it is difficult to stop the proliferation of technology from any weapon innovation, no matter what measures are taken by the country that invented it.

The kind of thing that I have used secretly and suppressed foreign countries for a hundred years after I invented the flintlock pistol can only exist in the imagination forever, and unless you do not put the flintlock pistol in the army, it is impossible to keep it secret, and you can never send two soldiers to guard and protect a soldier armed with a flintlock pistol.

After the Germans invented the backyard gun, they were quickly learned by the French, not because the Germans were stupid and didn't know how to keep it secret, but because when tens of thousands of guns were installed in the army, even the gods could not prevent the loss of this firearm.

……

Hearing that the Mongols had stopped the war, Chen Xian was also happy to have more time to rectify the interior.

But what Chen Xian didn't know was that although the Mongols stopped the pace of war, they had many more small actions in secret.

Some Hebei Haoqiang, who fled to Shanxi with Mu Huali, sent his capable men one after another under Mu Huali's orders and secretly sneaked back to Hebei......

……

Time passed in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, two years later, the election of governors in various places.

Chen Xian used the propaganda power of newspapers to easily send Yang Yongwu to the position of mayor of Qingdao City, and sent some businessmen who were close to him to the throne of mayors of major coastal cities.

After the election, the major coastal cities became the world of merchants.

Chen Xian also used the power of the newspaper to escort some of the officials he liked to the positions of county guards.

In this election, people suddenly saw the power of newspapers, and all kinds of newspapers have sprung up in various places.

As a result, within a few days, all of these newspapers were banned by Chen Xian's order.

Later, Chen Xian promulgated the Press Law, stipulating that all newspapers must obtain the approval of the government before they can be opened, and that each level of government functions to approve the publication of newspapers within its own territory, for example, a newspaper approved by a county-level government can only distribute newspapers in the county, and a newspaper approved by the county-level government can only publish newspapers in the county.

Newspapers at the national level can only be approved by himself.

Chen Xian also stipulates in the press law that the news in newspapers must be accurate, and false news will be sanctioned and punished.

As soon as the press law was promulgated, legal newspaper offices sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Some people have taken a fancy to the role of newspapers in the election campaign and have spared no expense in setting up newspaper offices, while some businessmen have also taken a fancy to the business opportunities in newspapers and have also tried to set up newspaper offices one after another.

At the same time, with the rise of these newspapers, some ordinary people were able to know the world without going out, and the horizons of the people of Donghai Kingdom suddenly broadened.

Over the course of several campaigns, businessmen and officials gradually figured out the veins of Chen's campaign policy, and found that in this electoral system, the power of the grassroots was important, and the officials could easily gain the support of a large area of towns through their colleagues and teachers at the grassroots level, while the merchants could gain an advantage in the cities through money and the influence of guilds.

It was also found that the combination of resources was very important, and that sometimes, infighting between several merchants in a region would cheapen the faction of officials who did not have the advantage of resources, and similarly, if several factions of officials competed for a position in a region at the same time, it would often be cheaper for the faction of merchants in that area.

At this time, Chen Xian instructed Yang Yongwu to openly set up a campaign organization called the "Freedom Party" in Qingdao.

The basic purpose of this organization is that the people who are running for office must push the government to establish a more liberal and liberal business environment, improve the laws of all industries, and allow businessmen to do business freely under the protection of the legal framework.

Chen Xian then came forward to recognize the legitimacy of the Liberal Party and promulgated a rather crude political party law.

The establishment of the Liberal Party was like opening a floodgate, and businessmen and officials everywhere set up various election parties.

With the internal coordination of the parties, the chaotic election competition in various places suddenly became regularized.

In the next election, almost 90 percent of the political officials fell into the hands of the parties, and it became difficult for independent candidates to succeed.

In this era when there is no television and the Internet, powerful people in various places are very important for the election campaign.

As long as a party can unite the grassroots powerful figures in various localities and influence the elections of each town and district through these grassroots strong figures, it will be easier to win the electoral vote in the end.

Under Chen Xian's guidance and support, Yang Yongwu soon turned the Liberal Party into a large political party that influenced Shandong and even the whole of North China.

Just when the official faction was panicking because of the rise of the Liberal Party, the two brothers Zhang Bai and Zhang Song suddenly resigned from their official positions, announced the establishment of the National People's Liberation Party, and quickly united the official factions in various places, and quickly pulled back a game on the election battlefield.

In response to the resignation of Zhang Song and Zhang Bai, Chen Xian fulfilled his promise by rewarding each of the two brothers with all the shares of an agricultural company, a hydraulic forging factory, a cement factory, a textile factory, and a printing and dyeing factory.

……

"No!" A sturdy man sat up abruptly from the lake-green satin quilt, his muscular upper body wet, and strands of sweat-soaked hair hanging on his face.

Lin Jun gasped and looked around blankly, the rose-red hibiscus tent, the ever-bright candle in the corner of the wall in the distance outside the tent, the wide hall, the silk quilt on his body, and the sleeping beautiful woman not far away beside him, made him a little unsure of where he was.

Gradually, Lin Jun's blank gaze became focused, oh, he remembered, this is not the battalion headquarters dormitory of the Fourth Cavalry Division, the 31st Regiment, and the 4th Battalion of the East China Sea Kingdom outside Yanzhao Town, Zhending Mansion......

It's not even a real house, it's ...... This is Jingzhao Mansion, the general's residence of the Mongolian Han army.

And he, Lin Jun, is no longer the young and promising captain of the cavalry battalion commander of the 7th Division, 31st Regiment, and 4th Battalion of the Donghai Kingdom, he is now a thousand households of the Mongolian Han Army!
