New year, new month, ask everyone for a monthly pass, the guaranteed monthly pass should have come out, and I hope you will help, we will run out of a good situation in the Year of the Horse!

-----------------------------------------

The sky is high and cool, this is a good weather, Chu Huan's mood is finally not bad, there are two reasons, one is that almost all the materials are transported back from the Kunzi camp.

According to the list of the Ministry of War, the materials transferred by Dongfang Xin were almost brought back intact, and these materials were reclassified into the Hyogo.

One of Chu Huan's biggest goals at present is to recruit the Governor's Praetorian Guard, although he has written to the imperial court and needs the imperial court to provide equipment and materials, but Chu Huan is very clear, not to mention that this excerpt is still on the way, even if it is presented to the capital after some time, it is impossible for the imperial court to transfer weapons and equipment in a very short time.

The southeast is still at war, what is even more frightening is that the war in the southeast has not ended, the rear of Gyeonggi is on fire again, and the rebel army of the Qingtian King of Hebei Province has made a comeback, like a raging storm, and the already unpeaceful Hebei Province has been turned upside down, Chu Huan's heart is clear, if it is said that before the comeback of the Qingtian King, the imperial court has no time to take care of the southeast war in addition to the war in the southeast, and the current situation, the energy of the imperial court has no time to take care of the northwest, and the little energy left will inevitably turn to Hebei.

Pei Ji once analyzed with Chu Huan that the main purpose of the emperor sending Chu Huan to Xiguan was to restrain Zhu Lingyue, delay time, and prevent the northwest from becoming Zhu Lingyue's world.

At that time, Chu Huan also agreed with Pei Ji's idea, in order to let Chu Huan restrain Zhu Lingyue, the emperor must give Chu Huan some hole cards, such as rebuilding the governor's Praetorian Guard, for example, the imperial court allocated a batch of ordnance and equipment to come, Chu Huan also felt that the emperor would inevitably support it, but the situation is changing, what was supposed to be a sure thing before, but now it is a sudden change, Chu Huan does not doubt that the emperor has the heart to support him, but he doubts whether the emperor still has such ability.

Daqin's national strength has long been different from what it used to be, and the moment of the decline of national strength was occupied by the Xiliang people in the northwest, which had already consumed Daqin's huge manpower, financial and material resources, the front door drove the tiger, the back door entered the wolf, Tianmen Road started an incident, and let the empire spend huge national strength to deal with it, Chu Huan has been in the household department, and roughly knows the foundation of the empire, dealing with Tianmen Dao, the empire may be able to barely make do, but the Qingtian King is making trouble in Hebei, and the empire's financial and material resources are already stretched, if the emperor's established plan is, will give a certain amount of support in terms of material resources, so the changes in Hebei will greatly reduce Chu Huan's hopes.

Hebei is just behind Gyeonggi, and if there is a fire in the backyard, it is impossible for the emperor not to pay attention to it, and the northwest is far away from Gyeonggi, so the fire is naturally rescued from the backyard.

Chu Huan knew that Pei Ji was right, even if he was really wise, even if he was really good at martial arts, even if he had the support of the gentry of Xiguan, but there was no army that could always be driven by him, then he would not be able to gain a foothold in Xiguan at all.

The re-enlistment of the Praetorian Guard is urgent, but if there are no weapons and materials, and the soldiers who have been recruited are unarmed, there is really no combat effectiveness to talk about.

Fortunately, at such a moment, he brought back some military supplies from the Kunzi battalion, which was a solution to the urgent need.

Another reason why Chu Huan was in a good mood was that the conscription presided over by Pei Ji had already begun, and on the second day when the supplies were operated from Kunzi to the arsenal, the conscription order signed by Chu Huan himself had already been promulgated.

The conscription order describes in detail the conditions for those who join the army, and there are certain restrictions on height and weight.

This is not that Chu Huan judges people by their appearance, Chu Huan knows that throughout the ages, the appearance of countless heroes is not good-looking, and talented people may not have a good appearance, a good appearance, and they may not be capable.

But the first batch of conscription, according to Pei Ji's requirements, is mainly to train a group of soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, this batch of sergeants must have excellent physical fitness, Chu Huan listed thirteen special training methods, without excellent physical fitness, it is really difficult to survive, and Chu Huan and Pei Ji reached a consensus on this point, that is, the main purpose of the current conscription is to recruit a group of brave and strong Northwest children.

Chu Huan knew the importance of talents, and he had even discussed with Pei Ji that conscription and seeking generals were two different things, and he would wait until the Praetorian Guard was established before issuing an order to seek talents.

At this time, the first is to build a strong army, so that it can take root in the northwest, in today's situation, outsiders feel that Chu Huan's strength is weak, and it is really difficult for many people to defect to Chu Huan's command.

Although the conditions of the conscription order are somewhat harsh, it is not a difficult thing in Xiguan, which has experienced the war.

Due to geographical factors, the physical fitness of the people in the northwest is among the best in the sixteen roads of the entire Great Qin Empire.

After the conscription order was issued, in the name of the Governor's Palace, Pei Ji was used as the planner to mobilize the officials of the Ministry of War, and set up a number of conscription places.

Because the number of the first batch of conscription is limited, so the conscription site is only set up in the territory of Yuezhou, and has not spread, in the conscription order, for the treatment of soldiers, there is also a detailed introduction, through the preferred conscripts, will be organized, began to carry out thirteen special training, survival of the fittest, until the conscription of 800 establishment, and these 800 soldiers, officially incorporated into the Governor's Praetorian Guard, enjoy the treatment of the Praetorian Guard.

The Praetorian Guard belongs to a governor's guard and is directly under the governor's control, so the treatment of the Praetorian Guard has always been higher than that of other armies.

The salaries of the state army, the guard army and the border army are difficult to compare with the Praetorian Guard.

It's just that the selection of the Praetorian Guard has always been much stricter than that of other local armies, and it is even more difficult to hold an official position in the Praetorian Guard.

In fact, the governor of each province will maintain a close relationship with the gentry of his own province, and the generals of the Praetorian Guard of each province are also full of gentry children, in order to form a local connection, the governors of each province will often leave some positions for the gentry children in the Praetorian Guard to win over the local gentry.

The salary of the Praetorian Guard is higher than that of other local armies, but it is much more difficult to be promoted, just like Fat Liu and Wang Han of the Xishan Praetorian Guard, both of whom are nearly forty years old and have served in the Praetorian Guard for many years, but now they are just a Janissary Captain, but once they are promoted in the Praetorian Guard, their salary will be greatly improved.

Serving as a soldier is to eat a bite of food, if possible, to be promoted to glorify the ancestors, naturally is a great thing, for most people, the most realistic purpose of being a soldier is to fill their stomachs.

It's just that Chu Huan's conscription order emphasized that the Xiguan Praetorian Guards are meritocracy, as long as they have the ability, even if they are from poor families, they can still be promoted.

This is something that has rarely appeared in previous conscription orders.

What Xiguan lacks now is food, and the common people want to eat their stomachs, which is really a very luxurious thing, and as soon as the conscription order comes out, the conscripts are suddenly a large area.

As long as you can be selected into the Praetorian Guard, you can not only eat food, but also get military salary, which is undoubtedly the most attractive way out for many men in the northwest.

Many ordinary people, because of poverty and hunger, were forced to become bandits, and even took risks to rob homes and houses, but now they can be soldiers to eat food, and they can become regular soldiers of the empire, which is of course much stronger than being bandits.

The news of the conscription order spread, and there was an endless stream of conscripts, and at every conscription point, from morning to night, there was a long line.

Conscription is a big deal, but Chu Huan has not forgotten another thing, after Wei Wuji was arranged to stay in the Governor's Palace, Chu Huan would find Wei Wuji as long as he was free to talk about the strategy of governing Xiguan.

Chu Huan deeply appreciated Wei Wuji's Juntian strategy and the suggestion of mutual adjustment, and he felt that under the current situation, it was suitable for the situation in Xiguan.

However, he knew better that the implementation of Juntian was not a simple matter, and it would take a lot of time to prepare just to register the population and inspect the land.

This is not a matter of urgency, Chu Huan himself does not have too many opinions on this kind of internal affairs, when discussing with Wei Wuji, the main discussion is how to implement Juntian, how to inspect the land, this is a major matter related to the future of Xiguan, Chu Huan not only wants to know the general direction, but also how to take this road, he knows that Juntian involves too many affairs, must not be hasty, this is a new attempt, the specific implementation process, must be careful and careful, otherwise if there is a difference, it will backfire, causing a greater dilemma.

Since Wei Wuji lived in the Governor's Palace, the strategy proposed by Chu Huan was appreciated, he was full of energy, in this world, not talented people can get ahead, many talented people, because there is not enough platform to display, can only be unnoticed, Wei Wuji is full of ambition, but along the way, he has hit walls everywhere, and now he finally met Chu Huan, who appreciates him, is naturally grateful and repays him.

Although he has long had a detailed study of the implementation of Juntian, but now that he is in Xiguan, it is natural to make a careful deployment for the current situation of Xiguan, and he needs to understand the overall land distribution of Xiguan at present.

In order to allow Wei Wuji to make arrangements with peace of mind, Chu Huan even vacated the study room of the Governor's Mansion and handed it over to Wei Wuji to use, which made Wei Wuji even more grateful.

In terms of recruitment, Pei Ji has an overview behind the scenes, and Juntian is planned by Wei Wuji, one by one, complementing each other, but it saves Chu Huan a lot of heart, he took the time to inspect Xixia Mountain, Du Fugong is responsible for the construction of the workshop, the degree is very fast, according to Chu Huan's design requirements, it is close to completion.

Chu Huan was relieved, but his heart was often worried about Linlang, and the first batch of people from Shengquan had already arrived in Xiguan, but Chu Huan's heart was worried about Linlang, and he didn't know when Linlang would be able to appear in front of him.
