It turned out that Zhao Ji and the imperial court planned it this way!

The forbidden army was fully armed with rifles and artillery, and muskets and assault guns were all sold to the Jurchens. Let the Khitan and Jurchen use the equipment they eliminated to fight each other, the more they kill, the better!

Qin Hui honestly stayed aside and listened to Zhao Ji talking.

At a certain moment, Zhao Ji seemed to be dancing, like a suave genius drinking and writing poems, happy and forgetful.

Qin Hui racked his brains and thought about it, while still dealing with Zhao Ji's inquiry, he asked cautiously, "According to the news of the Ministry Division, in the past six months, the military plans and weapons and equipment of the Wild Wolf Army have changed with each passing day, and Weichen is also worried that one day in the future, will they ~"

I deliberately didn't say it here, just to let Zhao Ji imagine it himself.

Zhao Ji really didn't doubt him, and asked strangely, "Do they have any new weapons in Dongkuo?" ”

"Ironclad ships, machine guns, mortars, triggered mines, grenades, very high power and accuracy."

Looking at Zhao Ji's puzzled expression, Qin Hui knew that no one would tell Zhao Ji this kind of bad news, and they all became good gentlemen, so Zhao Ji could only hear good news.

Moreover, Dongkou has implemented compulsory military service since the beginning of this year. Adult males between the ages of 18 and 36 who are legal residents of Dongkuo, Yongxing, Xiagou, Yanzhou and other places are required to perform three years of military service. At the end of the autumn harvest every year, compulsory conscription begins in the whole region, and the conscripted soldiers are paid the same monthly salary during the military service, and they can choose to stay in the army or be demobilized and return home at the end of the period. Regardless of whether the rehabilitators are working or farming, the local government system must give them preferential treatment. ”

Zhao Ji couldn't see it, and thought that there were any advantages and disadvantages of the military service system: "Is there anything special about this compulsory military service system?" ”

"First of all, the concept of all the people being soldiers, anyone must unconditionally respond to the conscription order, and like the Dongkuo Imperial Examination, no one can escape, including the men of the appropriate age from the powerful gentry's families, must accept the conscription, they just conducted a pre-recruitment last month, and the effect is amazing. In just one county, there were 3,000 people who came to apply, but in the end only 300 people were recruited. ”

"Why do so many people apply?"

After asking, Zhao Ji also immediately woke up to the fact that those people were all taken for the monthly salary of the usual money. The poor farmers and herdsmen in the northwest don't know if they can earn two or three times a year, and this time the fat difference of 12 times a year is simply shocking.

This is equivalent to the way to make a fortune, strictly prevent cheating, it is no less than the school district entrance exam, especially the shortlist, the final admission list is given in detail and announced, in order to show fairness.

Zhao Ji was extremely unbalanced in his heart, I will go, people will give the same money a month, and there are so many people that they will break their heads. I'm special, I give two dollars a month, and I pay all day long, to prevent mutiny or something.

It's all silver, why is there such a big difference?

In the afternoon, Qin Hui told everything about Dongkuo, pointing out the reality that Lin Chong controlled Dongkuo and Xiagou with the help of the wolf army, and then seized Yongxing and Yanzhou, but in fact, he had offended the Great Song Dynasty, Khitan, and the party.

But because the Wild Wolf Army is an advantage over the local area of either side, the Three Kingdoms do not dare to tear their faces easily.

The Khitan was attacked by the Jurchens and the Great Song Dynasty, so naturally they could not control it, and because the party benefited from the Uighurs in Gaochang, the center of gravity was moving more and more to the west. On the contrary, several major generals of the Western Army were bought by the arms trade of the Wild Wolf Army, so Lin Chong was able to vacate himself and engage in these political, industrial and commercial education measures.

These measures are very popular with the people, at least at present, Dongkuo does not close the door at night, and the folk customs are new, attracting the poor people in the northwest to join Dongkuo, as far as the wolf army can control the market, it has exceeded 300,000 people, which can be called the pearl of the northwest.

The more Zhao Ji listened, the more uncomfortable he became, in such a big place, the annual income accounted for half of his own, and there were not so many officials, so many soldiers and so much spending.

The new army, equipped with machine guns, airships, and artillery, has expanded to 20,000 people, and 20,000 people are more than enough to deal with 200,000 elites.

In addition, Lin Chong began to take the elite route. There are still 5,000 people in the new barracks, and they are undergoing training for half a year, and this batch of recruits is one out of ten good seedlings. If it is allowed to develop, the Great Song Dynasty will be known as a million-strong army, and it will become a joke.

"You have done a good job, you know yourself and your opponent, so that you can not be defeated in a hundred battles, I heard that Chen Dong, a student of Tai, rejected Gong Le's seven-rank official position, and unexpectedly became Lin Chong's right-hand man in the northwest. Now he has become the governor of Wupin. ”

Qin Hui has dealt with Chen Dong, and he has also seen that Lin Chong's trust in him comes from the heart, while Chen Dong is even more deaf to what is going on outside the window, and he is bent on Dongkuo City. Every day, from the streets and alleys to the fields, the mountains and rivers of Dongkuo have almost walked all over again, and he is definitely a practical person.

"The official family is clear, Chen Dong is simple, diligent in government affairs, loves the people like a son, is loyal to Lin Chong, and is a rare talent in governance."

"Wild Wolf Army, Dongkuo officialdom, is it not leaky?"

Qin Hui's heart moved slightly, and he immediately said, "I don't dare to say it, for example, Pei Xuan, who is still absconding, is incompatible with Lin Chong and others." Weichen thought that similar to this kind of person, Dongkuo must have it, but this is all terrazzo kung fu, and it will not work overnight. ”

Zhao Ji finally heard something positive, so he said, "Are you interested in going to Jinyang to serve as the governor?" ”

Qin Hui was keenly aware that Zhao Ji abruptly sent himself to Jinyang, and there must be something to say, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him.

Kowtowing is equivalent to being promoted from the seventh grade to the sixth grade, which is a full improvement of one and a half grades. If you don't make a big mistake in three years, you will be assessed and evaluated, and you will be properly under the five grades. When the time comes, the level will move back to Beijing, and the five high-ranking officials can go to the court to discuss matters. After another three years, if you sit firmly in the five grades, you will be able to serve as a handsome minister all the way.

"You remember, control Jinyang Heavy Industry, control all the important personnel and soldiers and horses in the northwest, and try to find a few close friends in Dongkuo. You don't have to worry about the rest. ”

Sure enough, Zhao Ji wanted to take back the military power of the Jinyang New Army, and at the same time control the Western Army, which was gradually absorbed by Dongkuo.

Qin Hui immediately emerged as a fat monk, Zhu Da, nominally the commander of the Liangshan Army, and the commander of the Jinyang Recruit Battalion, and at the same time held the management of the Jinyang Arsenal, and his backstage was Cai Jing.

"Official, do you want my husband~"

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "My husband is loyal to the country, Cai Xuanfu can also work hard, and Jinyang Heavy Industry is nothing." You can go with confidence. This is going to Jinyang Mountain, if there is any difficulty, just say, I will make the decision for you"

Qin Hui was obedient and listened, and then lay on the ground and kowtowed to thank him, "Wechen has thanked the official family for their love, and he will definitely live up to his mission!" ”

After that, he got up and left the palace and returned to the Wang family to discuss the matter of taking over Jinyang, he went to Jinyang, and the Wang family naturally had to intervene and support this son-in-law.
