Fukangan, 50,000 heavy armored cavalry, garrison Ao Bingcheng, (Fukangan has 50,000 people, and the Ministry of War allows the selection of the most elite soldiers among the 300,000 elites, 30 to choose 5), in this regard, everyone is envious, 50,000 cavalry is unbearable, and it is still heavy armor, and the elite of the elite must be selected.

This made it a little difficult for Li Zhi and Qiancang to accept before, but if you think about it carefully, Fukangan has made a lot of contributions during this time, and his martial arts are not good, neither of them is his opponent, and it is normal to get such a reward.

Zheng Feng, 80,000 infantry, garrisoned Ao Bingcheng.

Zheng Li, 50,000 infantry, garrisoned Ao Bingcheng.

Zheng Feng and Zheng Li joined the Western Capital together, and now one has 80,000 people, and the other can only have 50,000 people, which seems a bit unfair, but according to the merits of the war, this is the case.

Zheng Feng made a lot of meritorious contributions in the battle to eliminate Ao Yuntian, and the troops were all finished, this time the troops were divided, and the military department directly gave 80,000 elites.

The military department still continued the previous line of thought, and the soldiers trained by Zheng Feng and Zheng Li were all siege elites, mainly training siege cities.

Liao Yun, 80,000 infantry, garrison Ao Bingcheng, (Liao Yun has meritorious service in guarding Languan, and he is an old man, he was allocated by 80,000 troops, and no one was dissatisfied.) ）

Qin Shuang, 80,000 infantry, garrisoned Ao Bingcheng.

Dog, 30,000 infantry, garrison imperial capital.

Zhang Meng, the Yulin army increased to 20,000, and the garrison location was the imperial capital.

Shuntianfu, increased to 50,000, (the imperial capital is too big, far from being comparable to the Western Capital, and it is necessary to increase the number of troops!) And the candidate of Shuntianfu, after the recommendation of the Ministry of War, Wang Xu, and Ye Xiong, this time it was directly given to Miansheng, and Miansheng was appointed.

Well, the distribution of forces is over, according to statistics. Wang Xu's regular army now has reached 1.06 million, as for the county soldiers, there are 121,000, and Wang Xu has a total of 116 counties, except for the Languan garrison of 5,000. One thousand each for the other counties

In April, something big happened in North County.

The lord of the northern county, King Xiao Ming is three years old this year, officially enthroned as the emperor, known as the Ming Emperor, and the founding name is 'Ming', the Great Ming Kingdom.

Ren Ran took the royal city of Beijun as the capital, changed the year name to, and enlightened for 1 year.

Until now. The world has temporarily entered a state of calm, and there is no war.

Hu Guo, under the leadership of Gao Quan, made a large number of secret weapons and attached importance to the commercial development of the paper industry, but due to the shortage of food in Hu State, Cai Wenzhuo cut many soldiers, leaving only 600,000 elites. It is stationed in three counties.

Ming Guo, under the leadership of Cai Wenzhuode. Mass production of Wenwang Xian Liquor, to the whole country to sell, business is very good; Cai Wenzhuo attaches great importance to agriculture and is preparing to develop the prairie; At the same time as Wang Xu expanded his army, Cai Wenzhuo also expanded his troops, from more than 300,000 before. Expanded to 800,000!

The imperial capital, with the Yangtze River as a barrier, recruited to defend the eastern county.

As soon as the imperial court arrived in Dongjun, the people of the sea area located in the east of Dongjun immediately surrendered and depended to help the imperial court recruit and defend the Yangtze River. Now there are 200,000 more water troops in Dongjun alone, which is really like an iron pass, but there are not many army left; Yang Mingyue also followed Hu Guo's high power and cut the personnel, from more than one million before, to 600,000, and of these 600,000, 200,000 are water armies!

In fact, the territory of Dongjun is still very large, but the water area is mostly unsuitable for the development of agriculture, so it is not easy to feed these 600,000 elite soldiers.

Fortunately, with 200,000 elite sailors blocking the Yangtze River, and with the strong support of the people in the snowy region, Yang Mingyue was a little relieved

Imperial capital.

The Imperial Study.

Jia Hui came with a happy face: "Your Majesty, good news." ”

"Master Jia, what makes you happy like this?" Wang Xu said while reviewing the recital.

Jia Hui held a box in his hand, opened it on his desk, and said excitedly: "The manufacturing method of saltpeter has been studied by the Academy of Science and Technology, and it is now being manufactured in large quantities!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu suddenly got up, which is indeed good news.

"I'll just say, the dignified Academy of Science and Technology, Wenyuan Pavilion, a large number of first-class scholars, if they are not even as good as the pharmacy owners in Nandu, how can it be."

Wang Xu looked at the saltpeter in the box and laughed.

Jia Hui said: "Your Majesty, you should call yourself me now, and you can no longer call yourself 'I'. ”

"Does it make a difference?"

Jia Hui said: "Of course, there is a difference, this is a title that only the Son of Heaven can use, so it can also show the majesty of my holy dynasty, and these rituals cannot be abolished." ”

Wang Xu pursed his mouth: "Okay, I'll talk about me in the future." ”

Wang Xu is now wearing a newly made dragon robe, quite majestic, as for the color, it is still used in ancient China, using the Huang color, now in the imperial capital, only Yulin Army and Wang Xu, can use yellow color, others, without this qualification, even the rising Shuntianfu soldiers and horses, the soldiers are only tied with a yellow scarf around their necks to distinguish the difference from other soldiers and horses.

"Tell me how this saltpeter is made, then?"

Jia Hui said: "In fact, it is very simple, take the dry clods, crush them, put them in a container, soak them in water and mix them thoroughly, filter them many times, take the filtrate to clarify, heat and evaporate them in the evaporation pot to remove the water, take them out and cool them, that is, they precipitate saltpeter crystals. Store in a cool, dry place. ”

"The Academy of Science and Technology also succeeded in experiments after hundreds of researches."

Wang Xu nodded: "Okay, with this method of making saltpeter, then we don't have to be afraid of Hu Guo anymore, we must make it in large quantities." ”

"Oh yes, is the red-clothed cannon I painted ready to be made by the Science and Technology Institute?"

Jia Hui said: "Weichen is here to report this matter, it has been all made, and I respectfully ask Your Majesty to go and review it." ”

"The 'red-coated cannon' made this time is two meters long, one meter wide, weighs five hundred catties, and has a firing range of four hundred meters, which can not only be used for defending the city, but also for field warfare, and is very powerful, even stronger than the previous secret weapon."

Wang Xu said: "Okay, there is no need to review, let the Academy of Science and Technology quickly make a hundred red-coated cannons, and after three months, we will conduct a military parade in the field, and also show our strength to other countries!" ”

"I believe that after showing our strength, no country will dare to go to war against us for ten years, and we can take advantage of this to recuperate, and when we have enough strength, we will send troops and dominate the world!"

As soon as Wang Xu finished speaking, an excited look appeared on Jia Hui's face, if they can really dominate the world, then they are all the founding heroes, and from now on, they can glorify their ancestors.

Thinking about six years ago, he was just the master of the small Jingliao County, but now, he has become the military minister of the Holy Dynasty, under one person and above ten thousand, it is really a time has passed, and people can't help but sigh. (To be continued.) )
