Origin of the Empire in the first forty years, autumn, early October.

Since the ninth day of September, after the 40th National Day of the Empire, the top military and political leaders of the empire have been replaced.

After nearly a month of deliberation, the list of high-level figures in charge of the fifth ruling army was newly released on the third day of October.

The Governor of the First Sector, Wen Tianxiang, lived up to expectations and won the crown and became the assistant of the Fifth Administrative Council of the Empire. The Ministers and Deputy Ministers, the Governors of the Boundary Districts, the Governors of the Boundaries and the Governors of the Regions within the Boundaries are also adjusted.

The retirement of the retired, the promotion of the deserved, the rebuke of the reprimand, the demotion of the degraded.

However, the generalissimo of the Military Affairs Yuan was surprisingly unexpected, and it did not fall on any of Lu Xun, Jiang Wei and Cao Zhen. Instead, it was included in the bag by Zhou Budo.

Zhou Budo, the words are straightforward, and his ancestral home is Chong'an County, Lingling County, Jingzhou, Shenzhou District, the empire. He was the nephew of Liu Xian, who was born in the first year of the empire, the same age as the empire.

Zhou Budo has few talents, can be literate and martial, and has been famous in the township since he was a child. Since the beginning of Mongolian studies, both civil and military have been outstanding. At the age of sixteen, he graduated from the Imperial Lingzhou Academy and joined the army, starting as a soldier.

Over the years, he has accumulated military exploits, successively served as a military commander, a chief, a commander, a military candidate, a captain, a partial general, etc., until the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty 35 years, by the son of heaven Li Zheng appointed as the marshal of the 15th Boundary District Group Army.

Then, in the five-year plan of the Military Affairs Yuan, he showed outstanding ability and merit, and was another dazzling new star in the imperial army. Before Zhou Yu, the generalissimo of the Fourth Military Affairs Academy, stepped down, he recommended Zhou Budo to Li Zheng, the son of heaven.

Li Zheng summoned Zhou Budo, Jiang Wei, Lu Xun, and Cao Zhen to the imperial palace for a detailed interview. In the end, Zhou Budo was appointed as the generalissimo of the Fifth Military Affairs Yuan of the Empire.

Shenzhou floating island, the imperial palace hall of the court.

Li Zheng sat on a high-end sitting, and under His Majesty's steps, the new first-class ministers were lined up left and right.

Wen Tianxiang and Zhou Budo each led the military and political ministers, ranking first on the left and right.

"You are promoted for merit. Become the fifth ruling army of the empire, control tens of billions of troops, trillions of people, and hold the authority of the empire, but he must live up to expectations. "Li Zheng's bearing is like a god, like an abyss like a prison.

"Now, a new high-level executive has been elected. What to do next, you and the others already have a plan. I don't care what you plan or do, I just look at the results. ”

"After the change of the ruling military class of the empire is completed, the ruling governors of various places will go down to the county-level officials at the town level and up to the governors at the district level; The commanders of the military regions are the generals, down to the commanders of the army, and up to the governors of the general military regions. Those who should be rotated should be rotated immediately, and those who should be promoted should be promoted immediately. In the spirit of data, the achievements and military exploits of all government officials and military generals are recorded in detail. Wen Tianxiang and Zhou Budo, you are the head of the military and government, and after you go down, you will immediately start handling this matter. ”

"Secondly, on the governing goals of this term of the Council. I give you a clear instruction: the previous Council of Ministers has laid the foundation for you. What needs to be done in this session of the Council. It is to build on the foundation laid by the previous Council of the People's Republic of China to raise the level of agriculture, industry, commerce, education, culture, and ideology in the subordinate planes. It would be best if it could be connected with the empire within ten years of this administration. Of course, this is too difficult. I don't make it mandatory. The empire is under the jurisdiction of the world, the comprehensive strength, the empire itself is respected, and it is in the first class. The second class is the number one and third worlds. I'm not demanding. As long as the overall strength of the other subordinate plane worlds can be raised to the level of the third level, that is, the fourth and fifth worlds, within ten years, the goal will be completed. ”

His gaze, as deep as the starry sky, fell on Wen Tianxiang and asked, "Lushan, do you have the confidence to accomplish this goal?" ”

Wen Tianxiang's face was elegant and resolute. Looking at Wen Tianxiang, Li Zheng saw Tian Feng about nothing. In terms of personality, the two have some similarities.

Wen Tianxiang strode out, bowed, and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, your Majesty, the ministers and other colleagues in the Government Council will not let Your Majesty down!" ”

"Good!"

Li Zheng nodded approvingly: "I don't have to worry about fulfilling the promise of goodness." ”

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Zhou Budo and said: "As for my requirements for this session of the Military Affairs Academy, it is also very clear - the first is the combat effectiveness of the army!" ”

"The combat effectiveness of the army is directly related to the war horse. The number of war horses that the empire has today ranges from the first order to the fifth order, which is about 10 million. Now, except for the reproduction of fifth-order war horses, I am still personally responsible for them on the Shenzhou Floating Island, and the rest of the war horses have all been handed over to the logistics department of the Military Affairs Academy. Wen Zhi, tell me, in ten years, what level can the Military Affairs Institute expand the development of the war cavalry troops? ”

Zhou Budo stepped out of the ranks, bowed, and said in a deep voice: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the reproduction speed of all kinds of war horses at all levels, in ten years, the Military Affairs Yuan can make two billion troops equipped with war horses!" ”

Except for the fifth-order war horses, the other ranks of war horses can basically reproduce one child per year. It's just that low-level warhorses can have up to two or three heads per litter, while high-level warriders will only produce one litter.

And it takes a certain amount of time for the young of the war horse to grow to maturity that can serve in the army. Generally speaking, it takes three or four years for a first- and second-order warhorse to mature, while a third- or fourth-order warhorse takes five or six years to mature.

Calculated in this way, in ten years, focus on the reproduction of war horses, based on 10 million, multiply, and after ten years, the number of war horses can increase to at least four or five billion.

But the number of full-fledged warhorses that can be equipped with an army may be less than half.

Li Zheng knew this in his heart, and when he heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and said: "The number of war horses is related to the combat effectiveness of the imperial army, which is the most important. ”

After a pause, he said: "The second is the further smelting and reform of the army. The five-year plan of the last Military Affairs Yuan initially integrated the imperial army. But there are still a number of problems. In particular, there are ideological and cultural issues. The empire's tens of billions of troops, nine out of ten of which are from the original non-imperial cultural groups, are still different from the mainstream ideas that the empire adheres to in terms of ideology. Therefore, the second requirement is that your current term of the Military Affairs Yuan must be before the next term. Complete the smelting of this 10 billion army. ”

Zhou Budo said yes and said, "Your Majesty can rest assured, you have a plan for your ministers." ”

"Well," Li Zheng nodded, and said, "The third one is the expansion of the empire." ”

"Five years before. The Imperial Army was so organized that it was too chaotic to be twisted into a single force. Therefore, the expansion of the empire is very slow. ”

And now, the political situation of the empire is also completely stable, and the supply of materials has begun to get on the right track. On the military side, a new system has also been established. Although it is not fully run-in. There are problems of one kind or another, but I think it's time for a gradual acceleration of expansion. It just so happens that such an opportunity is used to test the army's smelting results and combat effectiveness. ”

"I will search for more new dimensional worlds for the Imperial Army to use in training."

"The goal of military expansion in this decade is to expand the scope of the empire's rule to a hundred subordinate plane worlds."

"Now. There are seventy-eight dimensional worlds completely ruled by the Empire. Other words. In ten years, the Military Affairs Yuan will take down at least twenty-two dimensional worlds! ”

"Whoa!"

Zhou Budo promised loudly.

He was delighted.

Defending the country is the first priority. But to really make a contribution, you need war.

So, the more the empire expands, the more for the army. The more good it is.

After saying this, Li Zheng turned his face to Wen Tianxiang and said, "The expansion of the empire will include more dimensional worlds. The Government Council should also be ready to take over. ”

"Your Majesty can save it!"

Li Zheng nodded, and was about to speak, suddenly. Out of the apse of the main hall came a child with a horn.

The child looked to be in his teens, and he was very cute, especially his eyes and ears.

The pupils of his eyes were generally black, but occasionally flashed with green and gold brilliance.

His ears are slightly pointed, and he resembles an elf.

"Grandpa!"

The child cheered and pounced directly on Li Zheng.

Li Zheng couldn't help laughing, hugged the child in his arms, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, what's the matter with grandpa?" ”

"Hmm!"

The child nodded vigorously: "I want my grandfather to take me to play!" ”

"Uh-hehe-hehe, I'll take you to play!"

Li Zheng said, with a smile on his face, and turned his face to the ministers in the hall who were holding back a smile, waved his sleeves, and said, "It's all gone." ”

Then he got up, took the child in his arms, and went into the apse.

This child is Li Zheng's eldest grandson, the son of the third Li Hong and Anya, and has the noble blood of the imperial royal family and the elf clan.

When the child was born, Li Zheng directly took away the right to name the child from his third son Li Hong, and personally named him Li Lin.

The royal Qilin'er has the bloodline of the lord of the plane, and taking this name not only gives Li Zheng high hopes for him, but also shows his noble identity.

Li Lin was conceived in his mother's womb for three years, and he was born for five years. This age, if counted from birth, is only five years old.

But whether he was five or eight years old, the child now looked like an eleven or twelve-year-old.

Whether it is physique, brain, or character and morality, Li Zheng is satisfied.

This kid is now, in terms of physical strength alone, he has reached 5,000 catties! He's only eight years old!

And the knowledge of the mind is even more extraordinary. Li Lin was born only a few months ago, and he already had a clear mind. When he was one year old, he began to learn cultural knowledge from his grandparents Cai Yong and Xun Shuang.

Up to now, not to mention that he is only eight buckets high, but at least he has learned five cars. And sensible and moral!

But a child is a child after all, and Li Zheng will not suppress his nature, Li Zheng has always been like this.

When it's time to play, let him play.

Li Zheng even took him with him at any time to play with him.

This kind of treatment sometimes even makes Li Hong and other ten brothers and sisters feel jealous. When they were young, although they were the same, but now facing this situation, it is as if they feel that this child has robbed them of what once belonged to them.

Li Zheng hugged Li Lin, smiled, and said as he walked: "What does Lin'er want to play today?" ”

"Oh"

Li Lin bit his fingers, and the way he thought made Li Zheng can't help but curl the corners of his mouth. It's so cute.

"I'm going to play on the stars!"

After thinking about it for a while, Li Lin made a decision.

"Okay, let's go play on the stars!"

Only Li Zheng's grandson has such conditions - playing is all on the stars! (To be continued......)
