In order to promote roasted tea, paper, and salt production as soon as possible.

Ji Xuanling pounded out the refined salt, fragrant tea, and paper, and specially rewarded the three princes and nine qing, cronies in the army, wanting to take the lead in opening up the situation in the Qin State.

During the court meeting, the Tea and Salt Division was established, and the newly appointed officials quickly arranged for officials to build workshops and recruit skilled craftsmen and long-term workers.

By the way, he sent Shaofu to bring tea, salt, and paper to Daqian, striving to ease the contradiction with Daqian, and by the way, to open up the market in Daqian, and strive to earn back real money for Daqin as soon as possible.

The Qin State was weak, but it looked around with tigers and wolves.

Looking at the princes and countries, Great Qin did not have the strength to resist the Great Cadres and Great Kang, nor did it have enough strength to raise troops to conquer the six eastern countries, and its power was limited to Western Qin.

Baiguan made every effort to revitalize the Qin State, but he didn't realize that under the strong look, the Qin State was like a grass carp in a stream, claiming to be the king and hegemonic in Qin.

Flowing into the vast ocean, the deep-sea giant shark in the sea, and the splashing waves will give Qin State a fatal blow.

Relying on financial resources alone, Daqin is like a puffy fat man, big and big, but he has no strength to protect himself.

Therefore, he wants to survive, if Great Qin wants to rise, the sword and sword cannot be abolished.

Only the Iron and Blood Spirit Rider can protect the Qin State and let him control his own destiny without being dominated by others.

Now the collapse of the imperial power of Dakang, the princes are fighting in the east and west, and the great cadres are located in the Central Plains, far away from the Great Qin, speaking of which, the Great Qin can quietly rise in the west in the next few years.

Xianyang City Barracks.

Ji Xuanling specially came to inspect and wanted to train the Snapdragon Army.

In the barracks, the soldiers of the three armies were not trained, but were building barracks to strengthen the outer defenses.

When Guo Tianlu was in power, the military and government of the Great Qin were deserted, the military discipline was loose, the armament was lax, and the army did not have the might of the previous king's time.

Before inspecting the barracks, Ji Xuanling had expected a terrible scene in the army. However, seeing the inside of the barracks with his own eyes was still beyond his expectations.

The rows of weathered walls in the weeds were full of large holes of different depths, and Ji Xuanling suspected that any adult could kick the walls down.

The tent set up near the wall was thick and shallow, staggered from side to side, and was torn out in the gale.

It is said that it is a military camp, and there is no purge of the military camp at all.

Thankfully, Wecher was aware of the problem and was working on it.

"Your Majesty, when Guo Tianlu was in charge of the government, he arranged for Xu Zhen to lead the Xiaowu army, which really brought disaster to the country and the army, and the Xiaowu army wanted to restore military discipline and combat strength, and I am afraid that it would take a lot of effort to rectify."

Accompanying Ji Xuanling to inspect the barracks, Wei Che looked around the dilapidated and decadent barracks, the soldiers with lax military discipline knew that they had a heavy responsibility on their shoulders.

"Let's talk about it, is the recruitment of the Snapdragon Army and the Xiaowu Army over, and is the war horses and ordnance in the army complete?" Ji Xuanling asked, and he also knew that at the end of the country, traitors and thieves were in power, and the first to collapse was often the soldiers who had good self-sustaining force.

Fortunately, there are ambitious generals like Ruan Xinghe, Yang Jingluo, Ji Liankai and other ambitious generals in the Xiaowu army, who can barely bind the three armies.

Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Your Majesty, in the past half a month, the death row prisoners of moderate age in the nine counties of Great Qin have basically been escorted to Xianyang City, and they have been temporarily formed into the Snapdragon Army, and the recruitment of the Snap Force has gradually ended." Wei Che reported, and immediately, he said with a serious expression: "However, before the last general took over the Xiaowu Army, many soldiers secretly sold war horses, ordnance, and military tents in exchange for copper plates to buy wine and prostitutes, resulting in a shortage of ordnance and war horses.

In addition, 50,000 Xiaowu troops have not yet been equipped with ordnance, and at present, there are only more than 40,000 soldiers in the army who have complete ordnance and war horses. ”

"Hmm!"

Ji Xuanling responded slightly, his fists creaked, and he scolded angrily: "Guo Tianlu, this thief is very harmful!" ”

Spit and said: "According to the military regulations of Daqin, the soldiers bravely prepared their own war horses and ordnance during the war, and now there is a shortage of ordnance and war horses, and the financial resources of the imperial court are stretched, only enough to equip the Snapdragon Army with ordnance, war horses, notify the three armies, and the cavalry that sells war horses are all reduced to infantry, and the infantry and cavalry who lose their ordnance prepare their own ordnance. ”

According to his plan, in the next two years, the Black Flag Army and the Snapdragon Army will be trained into the elite of a hundred battles, and they will become the strong force of Daqin, responsible for attacking fortified battles, and the Xiaowu Army will be the main force of the Qin army, attacking cities and conquering territories.

The most elite Iron Eagle Warriors, with a scale of more than 10,000 people, are trained to be special forces similar to those of later generations, responsible for all kinds of special warfare.

It's a pity that the war horses and ordnance have not yet been solved, and there is a long way to go!

"Newspaper..."

Wei Che didn't have time to answer, and at the gate, a general shook the battle report and rode over.

Ji Liankai arrived in front of Ji Xuanling, raised his legs and jumped off his horse, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, the messenger has sent back the news that Yuan Ci sent a large army to the north to invade Qiushui County, three hundred miles south of Xianyang City, and the beacon tower is full of wolf smoke. ”

"Yuan Ci?"

Ji Xuanling asked angrily.

"Yuan Ci, Yuan Ci dares to raise troops to invade." Ji Xuanling's cheeks were displeased, and he turned around and ordered: "An Xun, summon hundreds of officials to go to Zhangtai Palace to discuss matters." ”

In memory, I learned that the main elite of the Qin army was stationed at the Yinyang Pass in the east, guarding against the six eastern countries and lax the defense of the south.

Every autumn harvest season, Yuan Ci would send a fierce general to lead his troops north to harvest the grain in Qiushui County and Yanping County, so as to expand his strength.

When Guo Tianlu was in power, he sent troops south several times to conquer Yuan Ci, but he lost his troops and returned in vain.

Yuan Ci profited, became more and more arrogant, and did not take Daqin in his eyes.

Riding on the war horse, Ji Xuanling was furious and said: "It's just a prince, dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, and repeatedly invade Daqin, is it really that there is no one in Daqin?" ”

"Your Majesty, do you intend to send troops to meet the battle?" Wei Che asked with trepidation.

Yuan Ci repeatedly violated Daqin, robbed food, and robbed the people, the crime was unforgivable, and it should indeed be killed, but the Qin army was currently scarce in armaments, lax in armament, and lacked elite soldiers and fierce generals, which was not enough to start a war in World War I.

"What, you're scared?" Ji Xuanling asked rhetorically while galloping.

He read through the books and read the twists and turns that came back from the south, and roughly knew that the Dakang royal family was in decline, and Dong Chang, the general who led the troops stationed in the west, entered the imperial city, seized the power of the generals in the city, and overthrew the imperial power of the Dakang Emperor and led the military and political affairs of Dakang.

Powerful families from all over the country raised troops one after another, issued documents against thieves, and led troops to crusade against Dong Chang.

After three years of hard fighting, the powerful families in various places did not eliminate Dong Chang, and the powerful families who conquered the city and conquered the land, such as the big waves and sand, and the powerful families who would be strong, gradually formed their own forces and became kings.

This Yuan Ci is one of the strongest princes of Dakang.

Control the northwest region of Dakang, occupy the thirteen counties of four prefectures, and the area under his control is larger than the territory of Daqin.

and the Ram Yue, who controls the northwest of Dakang, poses a very serious threat to Daqin in the south all the year round.

Wei Che looked startled, and hurriedly said: "The last general is not afraid, but the king should consider the situation of the Qin army and think twice before acting." ”
