Xiao Yi recovered from a serious illness, and her originally delicate red lips dimmed a lot, Zhao Rui looked distressed, and at the same time hated the sneak attack of the Jiaozhi people.

"Xiaoyi, you can rest first, today's matter can't be left like this, I will let Emperor Chen Dynasty kneel in front of you and kowtow to admit his mistakes!"

Xiao Yi listened to it, and only thought it was Zhao Rui's angry words, but the young master could have this heart, which made Zhao Xiaoyi's heart warm.

After Zhao Rui finished speaking, he was about to go out, and Xiao Yi hurriedly called out to him: "Young master, now that we are being attacked on three sides, it is better to be careful!" ”

"Careful? Hehe......" Zhao Rui picked up the door frame and turned his head and said hatefully: "It's the Jiaozhi people who should be careful, but from now on it's different, no matter how careful they are, it won't be of any use!" ”

The candle flame reflected on Zhao Rui's eyes, as if his heart was overflowing with anger.

The next day, Zhao Rui got up early to visit Xiaoyi, and saw that she was fine after a night's rest, but occasionally a little flustered, Zhao Rui called Zhiling and a few Kunnu girls and asked them to serve carefully.

Then Zhao Rui began to make pre-war arrangements.

Mobilize a team of 1,000 people to defend Yongping Village, of which 500 people are staying inside and outside Song Fengyi's house, as long as it is to ensure that the bullet production line is not disturbed.

The rear is stable, and the front line can fight with peace of mind, Zhao Rui was not stingy, and issued 30,000 rounds of ammunition to the soldiers, although it doesn't sound like much, but it can definitely contain the small invading forces.

Zhao Rui moved the copper material on the carriage to the side yard, and now the copper material is sufficient, and the production line has implemented a two-shift production mode, except for the time to sleep at night, the production line is busy all the time. Although the proficiency and understanding of the craftsmen are insufficient, after all, they are infected day and night, and the speed is constantly improving.

At present, the ammunition production capacity has reached 10,000 rounds per day, and with the semi-finished products in the previous equipment container, Zhao Rui has accumulated 270,000 rounds of ammunition, which is the most solid foundation for the siege of the city.

At the same time, 1,000 people were also left behind in Dabaocheng and the two satellite cities of Wenzhou and Luzhou, with 50,000 rounds of ammunition.

And Zhao Rui also handed over the task of conscription and training to Fang Hongbin, and now 2,000 tons of grain are safely placed in the granary of Dabaocheng, and Zhao Rui also has the confidence to conscript.

It seems that the people of the whole territory have been looking forward to it for a long time, and as soon as the news of the conscription was released, the young men who rushed over to apply for the conscription immediately crowded Dabaocheng with water.

It is still an exaggeration to say that people see Zhao Rui and see the future, at least the people saw the power of the musket and saw the heroic scene when they attacked the city.

The fact that this army was attacking the city was as simple as pushing the door in, and there were not even the slightest casualties, which was why people flocked to it. In addition to earning more than farming, the most important thing for a soldier to get paid is the future future.

Now is the beginning of the development of the territory, it is the time when a large number of talents are needed, if you can make military merits and become a general, then the future and future generations are unlimited!

However, Fang Hongbin's side did not accept all the orders, he had already accepted people according to the standards set by Zhao Rui, and those who were thin and sick did not want anything, after all, someone still needed to farm the land, and then they would come back after they had worked hard and raised their bodies!

In terms of civil service, Zhao Rui referred to the modern examination system and formulated a selection system similar to the imperial examination, except that it did not take eight shares, but astronomy and geography, farming and agricultural arithmetic, etc., all of which were included.

Let these selected personnel alleviate the shortage of manpower on the administrative side of Zhang Zhennan.

At the same time, Zhang Zhennan became hot with Fang Hongbin.

Set of close, gift-giving, begging them to open the net, there is an endless stream of people every day.

Fang Hongbin has a bold personality, and he has the most plan for these twists and turns, and the people who came to ask for it were all driven out. Fang Hongbin attaches great importance to the things arranged by Zhao Rui, and he does not allow cheating to be tolerant.

And Zhang Zhennan encountered the same thing, he mainly persuaded with good words, but it was useless, at the end of the day, the house was full of gifts of all sizes, what tea ham, smoked chicken sausages were countless.

Most of the people now are still in the stage of being well fed and clothed, and they are naturally not as rich as Lin'an City, but Zhang Zhennan's heart is extremely uneasy.

Zhang Zhennan wanted to tell his heart, so he found Fang Hongbin in the same situation, and the two talked for a while, and suddenly they had the feeling of seeing each other late, and both of them had been visited by countless people recently.

"General Fang, this is not good, I'm afraid the prince will be suspicious of us!"

Fang Hongbin listened to Zhang Zhennan's worries, waved his hand and said: "How come, the prince handed over the important task to us, which is the trust in us, as long as we have a clear conscience, how can the prince be suspicious!" ”

"Looks like you still haven't figured it out!"

Zhang Zhennan sighed and said: "It is precisely because I have been assigned a heavy responsibility that I am worried, our power is too great!" Think about it, what if we look away, what if the person giving the gift is really talented? There are a lot of people below...... Three of them become tigers! General Fang! ”

Hearing what Zhang Zhennan said, it seemed that it would happen in front of him at any time, Fang Hongbin was stunned, and his face couldn't help but become grim

"Master Zhang, what do you think we should do?"

"Let the prince set up a military supervision ......"

"Military Supervisor?"

When the two arrived at the palace, they explained their worries and thoughts, and put forward suggestions that surprised Zhao Rui.

"You're going to ask me to set up a pro-soldier division, and then send someone from it to spy on the two of you?"

"Yes, Lord Wang!"

Zhang Zhennan said very seriously: "We have too much power, and it is inevitable that there will be gossip after a long time, which will not only distract the prince, but also be detrimental to the development of the Great Treasure Dynasty, so now there is a lack of such a department to supervise the officials!" ”

"Lord Wang, I also think that Master Zhang's proposal makes sense!" Fang Hongbin added on the side.

"Bastards, you two! Especially Zhang Zhennan, I think you are a talented and ambitious person who handed over power to you, why are you learning the style of a bureaucrat now? ”

Zhao Rui suddenly became angry, and Zhang Zhen was puzzled in the south.

"Humph! I don't understand, right, I'll tell you now. Will the establishment of such a department improve the effectiveness of our governance? No! Moreover, in the future, these supervisors will be my personal guards, and they will naturally be people I trust, so when these people deliberately harm you, who should I listen to! ”

Zhang Zhennan was shocked, revealing a look of understanding.

"Also, you're still afraid of other people's tongues? That's where the most bastards are, I ask you, is it important to worry about other people's opinions, or is it important to help me manage my turf? ”

This sentence was very serious, and Zhang Zhennan and Fang Hongbin were so frightened that they knelt on the ground at the same time.

"Lord Wang, you are right, it is the most important thing for governance and development!" Fang Hongbin originally felt that something was wrong when he heard Zhang Zhennan, but Zhao Rui's words were completely clear, which made Fang Hongbin completely dispel his doubts.

"What the prince taught me is that I ...... I'm ashamed! ”

Zhang Zhennan fell to the ground, and suddenly felt that he couldn't raise his head.

Now the entire civil service system is Zhang Zhennan's alone, although Zhao Rui has not yet arranged an official position, but everyone knows that Zhang Zhennan is now equivalent to the first strategist by Zhao Rui's side!

A strategist can't tell which is more important, it seems a little too much......

Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Zhennan's forehead, Zhao Rui didn't care much, unlike modern people, the ancients originally had limitations in thinking, and they were in their 20s, so it was inevitable that they would be less considerate.

"I don't doubt the use of people, don't use suspicious people, you just need to do your job well, you don't need to worry about these useless things, you know!"

"Yes, lord." Zhang Zhennan and Fang Hongbin said in unison.

"Okay, you guys go and get busy, I still have to deal with the preparations for war."

The two walked out, Zhang Zhennan looked ashamed, but he was more relieved in his heart, although Zhao Rui was scolding on the surface, but it all reflected his great trust.

With this trust, Zhang Zhennan and Fang Hongbin both have a feeling of seeing the sun, and they can devote themselves to their work more wholeheartedly in the future, so as to achieve great things!

Immediately, Zhao Rui called Arjuna and Zhao Gong to hold a pre-war meeting.

The map of Jiaozhi was hung on the wall, and Zhao Rui referred to it and gave the two of them a clear battle strategy.

"With more than 4,000 troops, we will first attack the city of Hulang, and then use the city as the fulcrum to expand to the northwest and southeast, gradually encroaching on the power of Jiaozhi, and finally achieve the goal of encircling Thang Long City."

The two looked at the map, and it was really as Zhao Rui said, the nut can indeed be used as a fulcrum, precisely because it is close enough to the location of the left and right cities than Dabao City.

"Alas, when will I be able to lead the troops alone!"

Arjuna sighed, she was too dissatisfied with the two easily won battles.

"Don't worry, after we stabilize the city, the nearby cities will be captured by you!" Zhao Rui said with a solemn face: "Don't be careless just because we have muskets, according to the news of the spies in front, people have been entering the city of Hulang recently, and I expect that the people who attacked us were also sent from Lulang!" So, kill all the forces that resist! ”

Zhao Rui was really angry, Arjuna and Zhao Gong also attached great importance to it, and shouted in unison: "Yes!" ”

"Very good, let's go now!"

Zhao Rui's firearms had already been prepared, and he drove the carriage and followed the large army to the southwest.

Xiao Yi originally wanted to follow, but Zhao Rui couldn't rest assured, and asked her to stay in Yongping Village to recover from her injuries, and then the march must be slower, if you ride a horse, you can run back and forth, and if you march, you will have to sleep in the mountains and forests for a night.

The first part of the road is relatively easy to walk, there are swamps and mountains and forests in the excessive section is quite flat, but the closer the road is to the nut, the more rugged it is, mosquitoes and all kinds of unnamed poisonous insects fly indiscriminately, fortunately Zhao Rui prepared gauze for the soldiers to cover, otherwise this trip has not yet fought, they will fall ill first, seriously affecting the combat effectiveness of the army.

Patches of hills are undulating, the trees are towering, the vegetation is dense, Zhao Rui and others are particularly sullen when walking in the tree-lined paths, there is no season here, the temperature is 30 degrees during the day and 20 degrees at night all year round.

Even though it's not the rainy season, the humidity in the air is around 90, which is the most uncomfortable reason.
