Becoming the sixth general in the Tang Dynasty was enough to satisfy him.

Because the five generals before him are all outstanding in battle, Hao Bonian, commander of the First Army, Fang Xitong, commander of the Second Army, Li Chunjing, commander of the Third Army, and Chen Keqiao, commander of the Fourth Army.

And the fifth general is Zeng Ziwen, director of the Operations Department.

Now, he Cai Erhu has become the sixth general of the Tang Dynasty, successfully surpassing a large number of school officials, and is on an equal footing with the above-mentioned people, at this time, I can probably say that I am already the first fierce general in the Tang Dynasty, as for the previous first fierce general Chen Butcher, he has already gone to fight. The cannon went, and I don't know how long I hadn't been in hand-to-hand combat, so I'm afraid it has already become a soft-footed shrimp.

The world is so big, who else can I be, without Butcher Chen, the title of the first fierce general of the Tang Dynasty, Cai Erhu thinks that it should also fall on his head!

After the announcement was sent away, Cai Erhu, who was wearing a general's uniform, sat with a group of officers of the Third Garrison Brigade, this was not to discuss the battle plan, although there was already an order for him to lead his troops south in half a month, but now is not the time to discuss this, and the top priority now is to run in the troops.

Today's Third Garrison Brigade is already more than 9,000 people, fully manned, and it is also a troublesome thing for these troops to run in, especially in the future, the Third Garrison Brigade is scheduled to fight independently, and the combat mode is very different from the past, so Cai Erhu They need to use this half a month to train and run in the troops, and strive to make a good start.

Not to mention Cai Erhu's side, in Zhaoqing City, Li Xuan also listened to the return of the Xuanzhi Qincha, and after hearing that the Third Garrison Brigade was neat and the morale was relatively high, Li Xuan also nodded with a satisfied look.

He had great expectations for the 3rd Garrison Brigade.

If the follow-up operations of the Third Garrison Brigade can perform well, it will show that even if the Datang Army has entered the modern era of guns, the cold weapon unit can still play a great role, and he will continue to select several garrison brigades with excellent performance for expansion in accordance with the expansion model of the Third Garrison Brigade to use them for combat missions on the secondary front.

In order to alleviate the current dilemma of the serious lack of regular troops in the Tang Dynasty.

After all, the expansion of the regular army is limited by the production of guns and artillery and is difficult, but the expansion of this garrison is much easier, as long as there are enough prisoners captured by the Ming army and enough cold weapons of the Ming army captured, the garrison will be expanded when it is said that the expansion will be expanded, and there is no difficulty at all.

After the Qin Mission, who went to the Third Garrison Brigade to announce the decree, retreated, Li Xuan summoned Zeng Ziwen and several other directors of the Privy Council, and listened to the recent military affairs, mainly the reorganization and expansion of the troops.

He is still waiting for this army to cooperate with the First Army after it is formed and have a decisive battle with the Ming army.

Now as the Ming Dynasty attaches more and more importance to the Tang Dynasty, the military pressure of the Tang Dynasty is also increasing, Guizhou and Huguang are needless to say, there are a lot of troubles now, and the besieged Fourth Infantry Regiment in Xingquan Mansion does not know when it will be rescued, and whether it can come out.

In addition, the Tang Dynasty also learned from the news circulating outside that the Ming army in Jiangxi, Fujian and other places was also ready to move, preparing to send troops south to Guangdong to encircle and suppress the Tang Dynasty.

Even the Ming army on the Guangzhou side was unwilling to be lonely, especially their sailor troops, not long ago they even boldly went north along the Xijiang River, looking at it like this, they knew that they wanted to attack the Xijiang transport fleet of the Tang Army, forcing the Tang Navy to fight with the Ming Dynasty's sailors on the Xijiang River, but the results of the navy were not very good, a gunboat was burned by the Ming army's sailors, more than a dozen small boats sank, and finally fled back to Zhaoqing in embarrassment.

Relying on the army batteries on the edge of Zhaoqing to stop these ships of the Ming Army's naval divisions, but the subsequent transportation could only rely on land transportation.

The Operations Division also had no good way to deal with it, but it could only say that it would take Guangzhou as soon as possible, and then build a fort to guard the mouth of the Pearl River to defend the Xijiang River.

In the coming months, the military pressure of the Tang Dynasty is extremely huge.

However, although the military pressure is huge, politically, the Tang Dynasty does seem to be thriving!

Since the success of the Tang Dynasty, it has caused a huge and positive political impact, not only the gentry in Guangxi, Guizhou and other places have put aside their previous prejudices about the Tang Dynasty, but even the gentry in Guangdong have changed their views on the Tang Dynasty.

And these gentry are actually the elite class that represents today's social class!

Although the agricultural tax and commercial tax played by the Tang Dynasty greatly damaged the interests of these classes, on the other hand, the Tang Dynasty also brought them great benefits.

First of all, they are officials, and most of these gentry can be said to be scholars, and their foundation is not in the land or business, but in the official career.

Now the Tang Dynasty is an official position, as long as it is a scholar to vote, then basically can get an official hat, and many children of gentry and landlords are already engaged in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty.

Another very important aspect is that although the Tang Dynasty implemented the reform of agricultural tax and commercial tax, it did not have the chaotic tax in the past, and at the same time vigorously promoted the development of industry and commerce, especially industry.

Many large households with workshops at home have received huge orders from the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time, they have also banned all kinds of messy checkpoints in the Ming Dynasty, and set up a unified gold checkpoint to avoid double taxation.

This can be said to greatly reduce the circulation cost of commodities and promote the circulation of commodities.

Liuzhou, which is now relatively mature, in addition to the major factories with free Ministry of Industry, has also spontaneously formed a large number of workshops, and the attitude of the Tang Dynasty towards these workshops is supportive.

Taxes are relatively low, and there are huge orders waiting for them.

How did these orders come about?

The total number of troops in the Tang Dynasty exceeded 100,000, a large number of administrative personnel, urban construction, etc., these are all large households with great demand for various industrial products!

The development model of the whole Liuzhou is very similar to the original Xingquan Mansion.

Even Wuzhou, which fell in the Tang Dynasty for a few months, is also a change from the dilapidated scene caused by the war, although the city wall of Wuzhou is still collapsed, but the ships on the dock have slowly increased, and all kinds of goods come and go through the Xijiang River.

The emergence of all kinds of small-scale handicraft workshops in Wuzhou is even faster than that in Liuzhou, because this city can be regarded as a relatively developed city in commerce and trade, and the number of handicraft practitioners is relatively large.

Businessmen, as long as there is money to be made, the money of the Tang Dynasty can still be earned.

It's just that whether it is Liuzhou or Wuzhou, these folk spontaneous workshops are still relatively primitive, low-level, and small-scale.

However, Li Xuan doesn't care about this, the development of industry is naturally not something that can be completed in a day or two, these small-scale folk workshops continue to develop for a few years, and they will naturally grow slowly because of the principle of survival of the fittest in the market, and finally large-scale private factories appear, even if these private factories are all light industry.

Because Li Xuan didn't expect these private businessmen to invest capital in heavy industry.

What's more, the heavy industry in this year is actually the national defense industry, and it is not suitable for private capital to intervene, and the Tang Dynasty also has a Ministry of Industry.

In mid-April, the Zhaoqing Arsenal, which had been planned by the Ministry of Industry for a long time, was finally about to carry out the trial production stage, and in order to show his support for the national defense industry, Li Xuan personally attended the trial production ceremony of the arsenal.

Because the planning of the factory is relatively large, the area and the number of employees are not relatively large, it is not suitable to be placed in Zhaoqing City, so it is built on the bank of the Xijiang River outside the city, of course, it is not completely built in the wasteland, so I don't know how much time it takes to build a house, the Ministry of Industry is directly requisitioned many houses for the use of the early factory.

And the formal plant construction is still under construction!

Li Xuan wanted to attend the trial production ceremony in person, and he was also a civil and military official who was ready to bring a large number of votes, and the Ministry of Industry naturally did not dare to slack off, and Xu Jianji, who was appointed as the supervisor of the Liuzhou Arsenal with the rank of Zhengwu Pinlang of the Ministry of Industry, had already prepared well in the arsenal.

However, early in the morning, a group of management personnel were waiting.

Near noon, Xu Jianji was informed that the holy driver was about to arrive, and immediately he looked left and right at the official uniform on his body, but there was no trace of dust, and then turned back and asked others: "Are all preparations in place?" Don't make a mistake when the first shot comes out! ”

A young seven-grade official beside him said: "Lord Hui, they are all ready, and the arrangements are all the oldest and most skilled masters, and when the trial production is completed, the muskets that come out are of good quality!" ”

Xu Jianji nodded slightly after hearing this: "That's good, whether our Zhaoqing factory can continue to develop and grow in the future, and whether the position of the big guy can move up, it all depends on today!" ”

While Xu Jianji was waiting for Li Xuan and them, Li Xuan and a group of officials rushed to the Zhaoqing Arsenal under the escort of a large number of guards.

It didn't take long to arrive at the door of the arsenal, and Xu Jianji immediately led a group of people from the arsenal to kneel and shout long live, Li Xuan was not interested in these scenes.

This emperor has been in office for a long time, and he has heard too much, so he is used to it, so he just raised his hand slightly and said flat, and then directly asked people to take it to see the arsenal.

At this time, Xu Jianji was honestly following behind a group of people and introducing His Majesty to the Arsenal, but it was not his turn to be a small Wupinlang, which was the top boss of his immediate superior...... The work of Zhou Kesong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry!
