After more than 10 years of construction and forced expansion in the last three years, the North Sea Fleet now has 126 126 10,000-stone class warships and 29 20,000-stone ships, totaling 155 warships.

Originally, there were not so many, the later technological progress and early technology accumulation, coupled with the overtime day and night to rely on manual piles, the application of a large number of steel structure molded parts, the number of construction days compressed by 45 percent, four years of a 20,000 stone ship, now only 29 months, seven years of a 20,000 stone ship to 52 months, a large number of shipwrights training and large-scale production not only increased the output, but also reduced the cost.

This is only the warship, the number of merchant ships is more, the man-hours are shorter, although the merchant ships have shortened the man-hours, but the merchant ships built in the middle and late stages have room for reinforcement, and the war only needs to add part of the steel structure to ensure the structural strength of the hull, if necessary, it can be clad with iron.

At the same time, sixty percent of the naval guns that began to be upgraded in 651 were upgraded, and they were changed to faster partition threaded breech loading rapid-fire guns, and at the same time, in order to deal with the advanced steam-powered ironclad ships that may appear in the armpit people, a small number of steel-core armor-piercing shells were produced and equipped.

According to the results of the data of the storm, if it encounters Chen Qu's main fleet, the Xian army will achieve an overwhelming victory in rapid-fire firepower. But the problem is that since its establishment, the Xian Army has not yet fought an encounter with real naval artillery, let alone a large-scale battle with hundreds of warships.

At present, it is a super sea battle of 1,000 ships, according to general experience, it is impossible for so many ships to be deployed in one sea area, which is not convenient for sea mobilization, and may also cause large-scale ship collisions and chaos.

Because the incident was too hasty, a large number of warships gathered in the waters near Guangxin, and the main fleet could not be used, and it was difficult for this sudden encounter to have an absolute advantage.

Bai Liyan got the news of Jiang Jie as a Buddha, but in the afternoon of the same day, an uninvited guest came to the mausoleum.

"Deputy Marshal Qiyu, General Ji Jinsheng of the Jin Kingdom asks to see you outside the palace."

The guard said quickly, Bai Liyan was surprised, but after thinking about it, she was calm and composed. He said:

"Yes, please."

"No."

Ji Jinsheng went to the prince's family in person, either to kill him, or to ask him to go out of the mountain to stabilize the situation. The current situation has reached a critical moment, and it is useless for Xihuan to kill him, so he can only come to release him.

After a while, Ji Jinsheng entered the inner hall, and saw Baili Yan sitting cross-legged, with a pair of exquisite tea sets and a few books in front of him, very calm. But Bai Liyan didn't even look at him, and continued to hold the scroll and pretend to gesture, which made Ji Jinsheng angry and helpless.

"Yongxing Hou is so interested."

Bai Liyan put down the scroll in her hand, looked at Ji Jinsheng and said:

"I know, General Ji is here to invite Ben Hou out of the mountain."

Although he was surprised in his heart, Ji Jinsheng remained silent, he believed that Bai Liyan only knew that everyone had fallen into his trap, and he did not know the sinister situation outside the world now.

With this in mind, Ji Jinsheng said calmly:

"Marquis Yongxing is too conceited, don't hide it from Your Excellency, this general was ordered to take your life, do you want to make your own decision, or will Ben help you!"

As soon as these words came out, I only heard a crisp sound of gold and iron, and the sword of Bailiyan's guards was unsheathed, and Ji Jinsheng's guards were not to be outdone, and drew their swords to each other. At this time, Baili Yan said:

"Don't be rude, all retreat!"

The guards had to order each of them to retreat and push to Bailiyan's side, but the sword was still not retracted into its sheath.

At the next moment, Baili Yan twisted his short beard, looking at the old opponent in front of him who had gray hair and drooping old men who had been fighting with him for decades, and said:

"General Ji has no need to deceive himself, more than 600 armpit warships have already fought fiercely with the main force of our Xianguo Navy off the coast of Guangxin, but the whole of Xianguo is still in dire straits. In such a situation, it is not the death of the country, but the destruction of the world. Are you satisfied with this result, are you satisfied, are Queen Xihuan satisfied, and are Liang Tianzi satisfied? ”

"You!" Ji Jinsheng was stunned, he knew very well that the royal tomb was surrounded by the three thousand Jin State guards, and it was unlikely that Bai Liyan would get news from the outside world, but he thought about it and thought that this Wang Ling was built by Bai Li Yan, maybe there was a secret passage, or a telephone. The next moment he said, "There is a telephone in the tomb!" ”

"Whatever you think, Ben Hou doesn't comment. But I think that even if the armpit people don't come, Your Excellency will come to invite Benhou. Let's say, what conditions does Xihuan want. ”

"Humph!" Ji Jinsheng snorted unhappily, and then said: "You continue to be your great Sinon, Gao Xun continues to be Gao Xun's Xiangguo, you just need to agree to this condition, and you can get zì yóu." ”

"Hehe......" Bai Liyan sneered, and the next moment he said, "Okay, okay...... Xihuan found that the doll he had been spoiled for many years was out of control, and Gao Xun was your only foreign aid, so you still don't give up, and you still want to attack me after the war. ”

"It's useless to talk more, the queen's conditions, whether you agree or not."

Ji Jinsheng asked forcibly, and Bailiyan said-for-tat:

"What if Ben Hou doesn't agree!"

"I'll kill you right away."

"It won't help if you kill me, the problem can't be solved, and if you kill me, not only will it not solve the problem, but on the contrary, it will intensify the relationship between the Xianjun and the new monarch."

"Then you won't agree!" Ji Jinsheng said sharply.

"No, I promise, of course Ben Hou will agree. Since it is useful for Xihuan to keep Gao Xun, it is also useful for Benhou to keep him, and it is of great use. ”

Ji Jinsheng heard the smoke of the seven orifices with twitching breath on his cheeks, and he said:

"What's the use of you keeping him!"

"He is my senior brother, he wants to be famous all his life and worship the prime minister, this Hou not only wants him to be the marquis and worship the prime minister, this Hou wants him to be this Xiangguo forever, let him know what it is like to be a Xiangguo."

"What do you mean?"

"That's what it means, General Ji can figure it out for himself. Now that the situation is urgent, let's go back to Chenling first. I think Xinjun still doesn't know that Xihuan let me go in private, can Xihuan afford such a big disaster? ”

"You!"

"Hahaha......"

Bai Liyan sneered at Ji Jinsheng, then changed his outfit, led the guards out of the royal tomb in a hurry, went to Xuanyun first, and arrived at the city before dusk.

Bai Liyan's sudden appearance made Jiang Jie and Xue Bolin overjoyed:

"Jiang Jie see the deputy marshal!"

"Bolin meets Master Sinon."

"Hurry up and be polite, sit down."

"Xie Fushuai ......"

The three of them sat down, and Jiang Jie asked first:

"Is it the king's will that the deputy marshal has his own body?"

"No, it's Queen Xihuan."

"Shhh...... It's her! Jiang Jie was suspicious, so he immediately asked: "Why her?" ”

"You should know that the guards of the Commander Wang Ling are forbidden troops pretending to be soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, so even if there is no king's will, Xihuan can order his release.

Now that the state is in turmoil, foreign forces are invading, and the princes are taking advantage of our civil strife to incite rebellion everywhere, and the country has reached a point out of control, Xihuan does not want to be too embarrassed and embarrassed, so he can only release me to quell the civil strife and prevent the armpit people from invading the hinterland.

Let me ask you first, I want to report in detail on the current situation in various places. ”

"Back to the deputy marshal, Dujun Xijun, Xianxi, Qiunan, Pengyuan, Wanchuan, Shangguan, Ganfu, Qingtian, Sangbei, and Sangnan have all been paralyzed, and the local government has been unable to control the situation, so they have to retreat in the city, in addition, there are sporadic rebellions in the three counties of Qingtian, Sangnan, and Sangbei, General Ye Xin tried his best to pacify, but with little success. It is found that among them, the eldest grandson and Liang Guo instigated rebellion behind their backs, wanting to separate the three counties from our country. ”

"That's natural, Ji Feng came here to send Xianguo to life, but unfortunately he didn't expect Xinjun to be more ruthless than he thought. The counties have been paralyzed, and there may have been large-scale liú xiě shì jiàn, tú shā and bloody suppressions. ”

"It has not yet happened, and it is still mainly confrontation and persuasion, and Lu Sima has already strictly ordered that it must not be forcibly suppressed as a last resort. In addition, most of the people in the army were civilians, and most of them had participated in the battle of the Guard, so they were well aware of the righteousness, so although they were kàng yì, the vast majority of them were not armed. ”

"Okay, it seems that the propaganda and education work is doing well, and it is still good to be educated."

"It is also the result of years of cultivation by the deputy marshal, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

Thirteen years have passed since the military reform, and while the new recruits enter the barracks, train and participate in labor, they also receive cultural education in peacetime.

Although education has been developed in Xianguo for decades, the literacy rate is still seriously low, and the number of educated people is not large, so Bailiyan has formulated a complete set of literacy education and political propaganda in the army, and printed and distributed literacy books, dictionaries, and political propaganda manuals to guide enlisted soldiers to become literate and understand themselves and the country.

And the examination will be carried out uniformly, but those who pass the literacy will be issued a certificate equivalent to the primary school clerkship, and those who excel can be sent to the military battalion for further study.

After more than 10 years of hard work, more than 1.4 million people have been lifted out of illiteracy, and a large number of people with basic self-learning ability have been sent to the society.

An army that only knows how to fight, and an illiterate army that is illiterate is not a good army. Only literacy can produce better and fight better wars.

In this civil strife, many years of political work have played a great role, otherwise dozens of millions of illiterate people who are well-trained and have no sense of the overall situation will riot, and more than 300,000 Xianjun troops may not be their opponents, and Liang Guo obviously wants to repeat the rebellion of that year. But this time, they miscalculated.

When I learned about the situation from Jiang Jie and Xue Bolin, there was a lot of noise outside the attached hospital, Jiang Can, Bai Lixuan, Bai Lixia, Bai Lijiao, and Bai Lifang flocked to it, and Bai Lifang still held Qichika on his chest.

"Father-in-law!"

Jiang Can gave a deep salute, and the four daughters of Xuan'er, Xia'er, Jiao'er, and Fang'er said in unison:

"I've seen my father."

At this time, Chichka jumped off the ground and stepped forward:

"Yo Yo, I finally met Yongxing Hou again, it's good to see you."

"How did you get here?" Bailiyan asked.

"After you were arrested, there were more rights and wrongs in the city of Chenling, and recently a fat man came to persuade me to move to their country, I didn't agree, but your new king didn't want to see me, so I had to let someone send me here to stay with my people, so that I felt at ease."

"Lord Chichka is doing the right thing, you must live well, live well."

After appeasing Chichika, Bailiyan and Jiang Can said:

"Your Royal Highness, the king didn't embarrass you."

"Brother Wang didn't embarrass me and other brothers, but ordered me and the eight ninth brothers not to leave the fiefdom, so I had to go back to Xuanyun City to continue to live, but Brother Wang sent my mother over, and I was relieved."

In fact, Bai Liyan didn't know that Jiang Hai had made great efforts to protect Jiang Hong, Jiang Zhen, and Jiang Can from becoming political victims. Of course, although it is harmful to the country, Jiang Hai has deeper intentions, but this is all for later. 21
