Chapter 114: Dark Tide Surges

Jing Ling took everyone's expressions in his eyes, and he said righteously: "The Mobei Iron Cavalry is falling into the battlefield of the Nolan Holy Land, this is an excellent opportunity, we must immediately establish a military committee, and then mobilize the people of the whole country to start a great liberation war!" ”

War!?

Everyone was stunned, they had just defeated Condon's army, and now they were going to fight again?

Yan Ming frowned and said, "Chairman, what do you mean?" ......”

"What I mean is clear. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Jing Ling took a sip of the water handed by the guards and continued, "We must take Mobei!" There are huge coal resources under the ground, and once the steam engine is invented, supplemented by a well-established trade system, our country will definitely be able to become a world power! ”

Steam engine!?

Haji was the first to react, and he wondered: "Chairman, the steam engine is the iron lump you let thousands of scholars and craftsmen build together?" ”

Haji's words reminded some people of the bounty order issued by Jing Ling, the content of which was very profound, and ordinary people basically couldn't understand it, but there were still many people who rushed to complete the task of the bounty order, because the lowest bounty also had 10,000 gold coins!

What's that concept? That is equivalent to you can build a mansion covering an area of thousands of square meters, you can also have hundreds of acres of gardens, you can hire a large number of servants, and if you have the energy, you can marry dozens of wives, so to speak, as long as you can solve the bounty task, you can basically break the carefree life of your legs.

So far, there have been more than a million people who have tried the bounty mission, and they are ordinary people from all over the world, and most of the core technologies have not even been invented by the so-called top scholars and scientists.

A drunken stonemason invented a pressure meter, a dizzy clockmaker invented a parallel-moving linkage, a strangely dressed astrologer invented a piston with oil, a bearded blacksmith invented a separating condenser and an adiadiatic layer outside the cylinder, and so on.

Jing Ling's eyes flashed, "The steam engine can be used in all walks of life, when the time comes, sewing textiles does not need manpower, pulling goods does not need cattle and horses, ferries do not need canvas, electric lights can make the night as bright as day, anyway, this is an iron lump that can change the world." In order to make it I invested a lot of manpower and material resources, although the previous generations of steam engines had many flaws, but at least they were built, I think that with the current progress, the next batch of steam engines developed will be able to meet my requirements. ”

Looking at Jing Ling's excited face, everyone was curious about what miracle that steam engine could bring, only Cain thought of a deeper question, and he said to Jing Ling in a deep voice: "Chairman, you want to take Mobei because of the coal resources there?" ”

"That's one of the main reasons." Jing Ling nodded: "Coal is a very important resource, but if we want to start the industrial revolution, it is not enough to solve the fuel problem, we also need to establish a sound trading system." Now that the empire is basically calm, the Mobei Iron Cavalry is rushing back to their hometown, and the Nolan Holy Land, which has been under sharply reduced pressure, will definitely send troops to aid the peninsula, so the Dongtu War will soon be over.

The Empire must seize this opportunity to expand its power in order to lead the reorganization and creation of a new post-war order, such as the World Trade Organization, the World Bank, the Gold Fixing Organization, the World Monetary Fund, the War Rights Protection Organization, and so on. Only a perfect trade system can expand consumer demand, and then promote the industrial revolution, so it is imperative to take Mobei! ”

Jing Ling's words had already made everyone scorched, they thought that the slogan of liberating the world was just bragging, but they didn't expect their followers to be serious!

Haji patted the table and said, "Chairman, as for the military commission, I fully support your army reform. ”

Most of them agreed, except for Adolf, who held his palms in his hands, and glanced at the surrendering officers, and found that the other looked almost the same as his own, that is, he was uneasy. They all belong to the surrender faction, and in terms of loyalty, they are naturally inferior to those officers who followed Jingling all the way to the south and the north, but in terms of vision and strategy, they are not comparable to these officers who were born in mud.

If Jing Ling is determined to clean up these talented officers, it is equivalent to self-harm by an army, but if they are not cleaned up, who knows who will be the next person to uncover the uprising?

Yan Ming saw that no one spoke, he shook his head helplessly, "Chairman, how did you decide to reorganize the officer corps?" ”

Jing Ling looked at everyone and smiled silently, until he looked at the people in his heart and did he speak: "The Military Council has temporarily included twenty members, and I will announce the list now, Cain, Adolf, Haji, Li Si, Wen Xiyang, Gerald, Lin Yan, Rockcliffe, Belton, Bai Ningen, Zhang Dacang, Wang Ruyang, Qi Guanfan, Zang Zangtian, Cosgrove, Gongzhi Valley, Lampard, Isaac, Brownhall, and Farnell.

Cain's expression froze, thinking to himself that something was wrong, half of the members of the Military Council were surrendered officers!?

The rest of the people also noticed the problem, and the officers who had thought they would be cleaned up all showed shocked expressions, and the members of the Military Council actually had their own names!

Jing Ling glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "These twenty people will all serve as division commanders, Lin Yan is still recuperating, so his division is temporarily staying in the empire, as for the military rank system is not perfect yet, so I won't appoint it yet, but I can reveal in advance that most of your military ranks are major generals." Those who are not named can take a look at their mandate. ”

After speaking, he motioned to Yan Ming to hand out the letters of appointment one by one, and the officers who got the letters of appointment all showed expressions of disbelief, some of them were appointed to the post of deputy division, and some of them were arranged in important positions in the logistics force although they did not have the right to lead troops, and most of them realized that the young man on the main seat was not simple at all!

Not only is his ambition infinite, but his tactics are even sharper, at first he first hinted that the army was going to have a big purge, and when everyone was uneasy, he threw out a reassuring pill, not only was he not purged, but even got a good military position.

Having lost his fiefdom and the power it conferred, those who harbored dissent were temporarily appeased, and the recognized loyalists were even more determined to serve him, and the fledgling empire began to unite against its enemies.

Jing Ling knocked on the table, and the officers who were staring at the letter of appointment began to look at him, "Now go back and draw up the officer corps under your command, and then report the list to the Military Commission, we have to evaluate the leadership of the army, so you must distinguish between public and private, and recommend talented people." ”

............

After all the officers were dismissed, only Jing Ling and Yan Ming were left in the camp, and the atmosphere became a little solemn in an instant.

"Yan Ming, you know, some of them are tigers, and I have to do this." Jing Ling played with the pen in his hand, as if to ease this serious topic.

Yan Ming sighed and chose to remain silent, he knew that the empire was now employing people, and if a large number of capable officers were eliminated, there would be a question mark over whether Mobei could still be taken. But he knew that the empire had built a large number of military schools, and that most of the students enrolled were the children of commoners and low-ranking officers in the army, and that as long as these people were cultivated, Jing Ling would have a group of the most loyal supporters.

When Mobei is taken, and then the post-war order is established, then these founding fathers and their henchmen will definitely be purged, and at that time it may affect tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, but for the stability of the empire, Jing Ling must eradicate the armed separatist forces of the empire and concentrate all power in the center and in his hands.

Jing Ling stretched, rubbed his eyes and said, "It's really him this time. Damn tired, is there anything else to deal with? Without me, I will rest for a while. ”

After saying that, he was about to leave the tent, but the correspondent suddenly ran over in a hurry.

"What's the matter!?" The guards guarding outside the camp intercepted the communicator.

"Report, letter from Nolan!"

The guard took the letter from the communicator's hand, handed it to Jing Ling, and returned to his post.

This is an urgent letter, I don't know how many horses have been killed before it was delivered here, seeing that the name of the signatory is Pope Sidrik of the Light Sect, Jing Ling couldn't wait to open the envelope, the content is as follows:

Dear King of China, I am Cedric.

You defeated Condon's troops, such a great deed will be praised for eternity, under your influence, the Mobei Iron Cavalry also chose to retreat and roll back to their lair, which is a great news that the whole country celebrates.

However, due to the threat of the Chinese Kingdom, the Mobei Iron Cavalry needed to defend overnight, so they could only throw down the materials they had looted before, which caused their military spirit to be extremely impetuous, and the refugees along the way would become innocent victims of their anger.

I implore you to send troops to the border to cover the temporary retreat of a group of hundreds of thousands of refugees to the territory of the Kingdom of China, and to save their lives, both morally and for profit.

But I'm not forcing you to make a decision, I hope that the benevolent King of China will provide a shelter for these helpless refugees.

S$ 500 - July 4
