Chapter 445: News Arrives

"No need to rush now! The General Staff Headquarters also needs to carefully investigate the intelligence of Liaodong, and we need to investigate the layout of the Jurchens' troops and horses, the location of grain and grass reserves, and the location of population concentration before we can formulate a detailed battle plan and then launch an attack on them! You just need to train hard in Tianjinwei! If you need anything, you can tell the staff headquarters, and the staff headquarters will prepare it for you. Zhao Chen said.

"We still need a lot of crossbows." Wu Jue thought for a while and said.

"This is simple, there are tens of thousands of craftsmen in Guanshan's ordnance supervision, and the number of craftsmen who make bows and crossbows alone is close to 10,000, which is enough to meet the needs of the army." Yu Yunwen said.

"Now that the Military Aircraft Department and the General Staff Headquarters have been transferred to Yanjing City, the Ordnance Supervision Department should also be transferred to Yanjing City, and only branches can be left in Guanshan, Hanzhong, and Sichuanshu." Zhao Chen said.

Yu Yunwen nodded.

"Actually, I've been thinking that the ordnance superintendent can be separated from the logistics department, and in the future, the ordnance superintendent will be placed alongside the logistics department, the operations department, and the intelligence department, and they will both be important organs under the General Staff Headquarters." Zhao Chen said.

"Ahh Your Majesty, there's no need for this, is it? Yu Yunwen said in surprise.

"The role of weapons is very important! Over the years, we have repeatedly defeated the Western Xia and Jurchen, and in addition to the heroic battles of our warriors, the victory of our weapons over the enemy is also an important reason! I hope that our weapons will continue to improve, and in the future, we will be able to defeat all aliens with just our weapons! For example, can gunpowder become a weapon? Also, this shipyard should also be under the management of the Ordnance Superintendent! In the future, all equipment related to the war will be under the management of the Ordnance Superintendent, and the Logistics Department will only manage food, grass, clothing, and so on! Zhao Chen said.

"This matter needs to be discussed by the General Staff Headquarters." Yu Yunwen said.

"Okay, when I go back, let the staff headquarters discuss it! In addition, although there are already a lot of ordnance supervisors, the country's million-strong army needs countless weapons, and I feel that the number of these craftsmen is still insufficient! A part of the bright young people can enter the ordnance prison and become craftsmen. Zhao Chen said.

"This ...... Your Majesty, the craftsmen of the Ordnance Prison are all craftsmen, and their status is low, and the young people may not be willing to enter it. Yu Yunwen said.

"From now on, the so-called division of household registration such as artisan households, soldier households, etc., will be abolished, and only ordinary households will be abolished! Let's discuss this after we go back. Zhao Chen said.

In ancient China, many dynasties made various divisions for the common people, including ordinary households, artisan households only owned by craftsmen, and military households that served as soldiers for generations. The descendants of the artisan family can only work as craftsmen forever, and cannot engage in other trades. As for the soldiers, their children and grandchildren are all soldiers, and they cannot take the imperial examination or do other livelihoods. Fortunately in the Song Dynasty, the number of specialized craftsmen and soldiers was not very large, and in the Ming Dynasty, the craftsmen of the world, whether they were subordinate to the court or not, were all craftsmen, and the soldiers of the world were all soldiers! At the end of the Ming Dynasty, many military households became tenant farmers of generals, unable to eat enough every day, and could not leave the station, unable to do other livelihoods, and many military households rebelled. The ancient emperor originally wanted to use this method to manage the people, but it backfired.

"It should be possible to abolish artisan households and military households and turn them into ordinary households." Yu Yunwen said.

As they walked down the long street, there was nothing left in front of them.

Now there are only a few ports and a long street in Tianjin! For now, at least, it's pretty desolate.

"By the way, where is Wanyan Zongwang?" Walking to the end of the street, Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, Wanyan Zongwang is looking to build a dock over there." Wu Jue said.

Zhao Chen smiled and took Yu Yunwen, Wu Jue and others towards that side.

When he arrived at the dock over there, Zhao Chen really saw Wanyan Zongwang, and now Wanyan Zongwang had empty eyes, working there numbly! Regarding the arrival of Zhao Chen and the others, Wanyan Zongwang didn't feel anything at all.

In fact, Zhao Chen captured Yan Zongwang alive at the beginning, mainly to recruit Yan Lou's room, but he didn't use it! At that time, Zhao Chen once said that he wanted to take Wanyan Zongwang to parade around the streets, but at that time, it was just to fight Wanyan Zongwang, and he didn't really do it!

Now seeing Yan Zongwang like this, Zhao Chen also felt bored.

"How are these Jurchen captives treated?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, they rest for four hours a day! Their food is the same as that of our soldiers, when we can eat enough, they can eat enough, but now that the food is restricted, their meals will naturally be reduced! We soldiers won't beat and scold them easily, unless they are deliberately lazy and don't work! In addition, we soldiers often participate in construction, and basically we always have to work for ten days a month. Wu Jue said.

Zhao Chen nodded lightly, he walked all the way, and saw that all the Jurchens were numb in their eyes, as if they had accepted their fate! The Jurchen captives did not dare to be lazy, but few of them really worked hard.

"Tell these Jurchen prisoners of war that if they do a good job, the court will reward them! In this way, we will release a thousand people every year! Let them all work actively and diligently! Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

Wu Jue's face showed a hesitant expression.

"We have no shortage of prisoners of war, there is still war in the north, and there will be prisoners of war coming! These prisoners of war have no hope, their hearts are numb, and naturally they will not work well. Give them hope and motivate them so that they will work hard. Zhao Chen said.

Wu Jue nodded.

At that moment, Wu Jue asked people to convey Zhao Chen's order, and after a while, the cheers of Jurchen prisoners of war were heard in the entire port!

******

Zhao Chen, Yu Yunwen, Wu Jue and others came to the beach again, and the sea breeze blew, which was extremely cool.

Zhao Chen is very comfortable in his heart, far away from Yanjing, those cumbersome political affairs can also be put aside for the time being, and he can take a good rest.

"Where is Zhao Kai now?" Zhao Chen said.

"He has already arrived in Hedong, and he should be able to rush to Yanjing within half a month." Yu Yunwen said.

"When he came, we were able to relax a lot." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Let him go straight to the military aircraft?" Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen nodded.

Now the number of ministers in the military aircraft department has gradually increased, the ministers are responsible for special affairs, Wang Shu is responsible for publicity, Yu Yunwen is in charge of justice, Qu Duan is in charge of the staff headquarters, Hu Quan is in charge of agriculture, Wang Shipeng is responsible for building roads, and Zhao Kai will be in charge of taxation after his arrival! This Zhao Kai was originally a Sichuan Xuanfu envoy and was good at financial management, and Zhao Chen specially transferred him to Yanjing City!

The current military aircraft department is gradually changing to the cabinet of later generations, and Zhao Chen will hold a military aircraft meeting every half a month to discuss state affairs with everyone! At the military aircraft meeting, the Minister of Military Aircraft can speak freely about state affairs without any scruples!

Except that there is no prime minister and no fixed selection mechanism, this is almost the cabinet of future generations.

Li Gang was originally the best candidate for prime minister, but the restoration of Jiangnan is inseparable from Li Gang. Zhao Chen needs Li Gang, a famous minister in the world, to sit in Jiangnan.

"Your Majesty, when a girl from the Southern Song Dynasty gives birth to a prince, she must have a title to become it, right?" Yu Yunwen said suddenly.

"The title is just a false name, so let's make her the imperial concubine." Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

"Good! After returning to Yanjing, Weichen issued a will! Also, Your Majesty, the birth of the prince is a major event of the country, but the prince does not have a name yet. Yu Yunwen said.

"After conquering the north, further north is a desolate ice field, and to the west is a desert, although there are countries further away, we can also conquer, but it will take time and energy, we can't put our main forces on this, at most send a few generals to conquer some barbarians who disobey us! From now on, our eyes should be on the ocean, and I guess that there are endless territories and countries on the ocean that can be conquered by our children and grandchildren! This kid, let's call him Canghai. Zhao Chen said.

On this day, Zhao Chen and Yu Yunwen stayed at the dock of Tianjin Wei.

Early the next morning, they went out to sea with the soldiers to watch naval training, and when the sun set, they returned to shore.

They were about to dine with the soldiers in the army, however, at this moment, a group of cavalry in the distance rushed towards them.

There were about a dozen cavalrymen in this group, and they were stopped by the naval soldiers, and after a little notification, these dozen cavalrymen were released.

They hurriedly came to Zhao Chen's side and immediately knelt down.

"You are soldiers of the Liaodong Military Region? What happened? Zhao Chen pulled up a soldier in front of him and said.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang has appeared!" The soldier said.

"What? The Emperor? Zhao Chen was stunned, and Yu Yunwen, Wu Jue and others next to him were also stunned.

"What the hell is going on?" Yu Yunwen said.

"At noon the day before yesterday, more than 1,000 people came to the foot of Shanhaiguan, where they shouted and shouted, many of them seemed to be our Han people, and some of them said that they were the emperor! After General Liu Qi identified it, he didn't say whether that person was real or fake, but just asked us to report to Your Majesty immediately, and let Your Majesty make it best for you to go to Shanhaiguan. The soldier said.

Zhao Chen and Yu Yunwen glanced at each other, and there was a look of shock in their eyes.

"Which Emperor is it?" Zhao Chen said.

"That man said he was the Daojun Emperor!" The soldier said.

Emperor Daojun is Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, who believed in Taoism during his reign and has always called himself "Emperor Daojun".

"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, we must go to Shanhaiguan immediately!" Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen nodded.

Say:

The book is almost finished, and I want to think about the outline and improve the outline again, so as not to be overwhelmed.

Two chapters today.
