Text: Empire Battle_Chapter 408 The Great Feudal Ministers

After more than ten years, Xun Yu has long since transformed from a suave young talent to a nearly forty-year-old uncle. There is also a little gray hair between the temples, and it is not difficult to see how much Xun Yu has paid for Beichen Kingdom. Not to mention anything else, just the government affairs handled every year are not comparable to Xiao Chen's more than a dozen pieces a day.

In the past ten years, Xun Yu's existence is undoubtedly a Dinghai Divine Needle of Beichen Kingdom. As long as he exists, there will hardly be anything major happening in Beichen Kingdom. Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, Xun Yu's treatment is the best and can reduce losses the most. No matter how many troops Xiao Chen lost on the front line, Xun Yu was always able to deal with the martyr's widow as soon as possible. No matter how many battles Xiao Chen fought or how many resources he spent, Xun Yu never said a word. Almost as long as it is reasonable, every time Xiao Chen goes to war, Xun Yu is the most supportive.

After that, no matter how the war went, the Beichen Army never worried about logistics and supply anyway. This point is still very rare in the history of cold weapon warfare. After all, the mobilization of logistical materials is extremely difficult in the state of an expedition. Sometimes, the supplies transported are not enough to consume on the road. But that's it, Xun Yu has always been hard-working, and has never delayed the transportation of a grain.

If managing government affairs is what Xun Yu is best at, then his favorite thing is education. There are various junior and intermediate schools across the country, and Xun Yu almost didn't even think about supporting himself at this point. After that, for the sake of education, Xun Yu's hard work was no less than that of governance. Indoctrination is not only to educate the people of the country, but also has a higher meaning of educating foreign races.

Confucianism, an idea that has penetrated into the spinal cord of the sons and daughters of the Han people since the Western Han Dynasty, cannot be said to be completely good, let alone completely bad. The influence of Confucianism on China is far-reaching. Almost all of the countries that Qin believed in enrollment quickly became strong, and then inexplicably declined. At that time, Confucianism's policy towards foreign races was still very ruthless. Later, in the Han Dynasty, a place where Confucianism was respected, there was also a famous saying that "those who commit crimes against me will be punished even if they are far away". It is not difficult to see that Confucianism in that period still had a stimulating effect on the blood of the children of the Han nationality. After that, until the Song Dynasty. After Confucianism was castrated, it completely lost the strength of the Qin and Han dynasties.

Xun Yu, who has not received Zhu Cheng's Confucianism, will naturally not have this bodhisattva heart when dealing with foreigners. Regarding the issue of assimilation, Xun Yu raised his hands in agreement. Subsequently, within ten years, Xun Yu or strictly ordered that foreigners in China must speak Chinese and wear Hanfu. Or spend a little profit to tempt people of different races to learn Chinese, learn to eat with chopsticks, and learn Han etiquette. In short, it's all about doing everything. However, fortunately, Xun Yu's hard work was not in vain.

In front of this god general, all the methods that can be found have been sorted out, and finally more than 20 million aliens have completely turned into Han people within ten years.

Wearing Hanfu, speaking Chinese, and practicing Han etiquette all demonstrate the strength of the Han nation.

Xun Yu's contribution to the Beichen Kingdom is simply indescribable, and he may be more competent than himself as a king. Of course, Xiao Chen looked at Xun Yu, who was in a good mood, and recalled in his mind the bits and pieces that Xun Yu had done for Beichen Kingdom.

"Well, that's it for the military restructuring. Wen Ruo, the change in civil official positions didn't cause anything, right? Xiao Chen asked.

"Back to the king, there shouldn't be too many people who oppose it. After all, every official restructuring is very good for most officials, because as long as they perform well, they are likely to be promoted, and few people will be unhappy! Xun Yu thought for a while and said.

"Yes, that's good. The restructuring of the title is now officially decided, and the restructuring of the rest of the army and officialdom can be carried out in an orderly manner. After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then turned his head and asked Jiang Wan: "Gongyan, how are the preparations for the emperor's title?" ”

"Back to the king, the materials needed to claim the title of emperor have been mobilized. The altar has also been expanded, and it will take more than 20 days to complete. In less than a month, it should be all ready. Jiang Wan counted them carefully in his heart and came one by one.

"So everything will be ready by mid-December?"

"Yes, maybe it will be ready by the beginning of December!"

"Yes, good. Na Wenruo and Gongyan, the two of you will pick an auspicious day in mid-December, and this king will officially be proclaimed emperor and hold a ceremony! Xiao Chen waved his hand and roared.

Yue Fei and Chen Gong below didn't react, but Xun Yu and Jiang Wan were taken aback by Xiao Chen.

"Your Majesty, didn't you discuss it before, it's better to wait until March next year to become the emperor? Now in advance..."Xun Yu said with a frown.

Xiao Chen sighed and said leisurely: "Wen Ruo, this king also wants to be the emperor in March, after all, the longer the time, the more fully prepared." However, time waits for no one, if this king is too late to be the emperor, but is robbed of the title of the first emperor by other countries on the mainland, then the loss will be great. ”

Xun Yu lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Also, it was Weichen who was careless, and he didn't expect this." Then it is not impossible to be called emperor in mid-December. It's just that the military has just revised its structure, can it be completed in a timely manner? You must know that the emperor ceremony is a national affair, if there is a problem in the military parade, all of us will not look good! ”

Yue Fei was not happy when he heard it, a few meanings, "Zuo Xiang doesn't need to worry, with this commander, a million military parade troops can definitely show the danger of our Beichen Kingdom!" ”

"If that's the case, then the prime minister completely agrees to be the emperor at the end of the year!"

"Well, that's it. The time to become the emperor is set for mid-December, Wen Ruo, Gong Yan, and you have to work hard to pick a good day. ”

"The king's words are serious, these are all things within the responsibility of the ministers."

"Gongtai, how is the matter with the Military Division?" Xiao Chen said to Chen Gong.

"Back to the king, after joining the military department and merging it into the military department, many personnel were transferred out. Today, only the Operations Section, the Planning Section, and the Drawing Section of the Military Division have reached full strength, and the rest of the sections are not good, and there are only a few people left. Coupled with the various levels of the army that the Kyoto camp army asked to be deployed, there were almost not many people in the entire military division. Moreover, in the coming year, I will have to transfer to the rest of the battalions to join the army, and the pressure is still very great! ”

Speaking of joining the military division, Chen Gong has not really understood its status until now. Although the military division is currently in the military department, at that time because of the imperial feudal era, it was not allowed to have a detached official position. If it weren't for this requirement, Xiao Chen really wanted to upgrade the Military Division to a ministry. Moreover, the status of the Military Division in the Ministry of War is very high, and it is completely like a boss.

This is also normal, after all, the role of joining the army is very large. As long as you come out of the military department, you have received a lot of good teaching. Working in the main division of the military department, the amount is not large, but it can go straight to the sky. Among the decentralized troops, it is a position on the same level as the chief marshal and deputy marshal. But the key is that joining the army is not easy to cultivate, and among the military academies in Beijing and other places, only a few hundred qualified soldiers have been provided in the past two years. For the huge army and military system of Beichen Kingdom, it is too little.

However, fortunately, more than 100 military members will come out of the military academy next year, and it can temporarily make up for the number of people needed for the reorganization of the army. After replenishing the army, the military division will not be able to get any new blood replenishment. The number of troops needed is too large, and the army must be taken care of first. For such a result, even Chen Gong was extremely helpless.

There are quite a few cadets graduating from various military academies every year, ranging from dozens of small ones to thousands of large ones. But most of them belong to the three disciplines of cavalry, infantry, and sailors. There is no way, these are the main combat forces of Beichen Kingdom, and they naturally have received strong support from military cadets.

"Gongtai, half of the military cadets who will graduate in March next year will be divided into the military department, and it will be said that this king said it. The military division is the brain of the entire military system, if the military division is unable to operate because of lack of personnel, then what else do you have to do in the army! Xiao Chen said to Chen Gong in an extremely affirmative tone, which made Chen Gong very happy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Okay, you have to do a good job for this king. Especially pay attention to the top elements among those students, we Beichen can only give advice to you and Wen Ruo, it's really too cold. When the kingdom is promoted to the empire, the king can no longer be arbitrarily piloted and personally recruited, and the leading generals will need to join the army more to make up for the gaps. After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed his words and said: "No, even if this king is personally driving, it will need someone to check and fill in the gaps." Now the wars of our Beichen Kingdom are fought by strong strength, and the use of stratagems is really rare. This is not good, if one day our strength is no longer dominant, I am afraid that the generals of all armies will be negligent! ”

"The king's words are good!" Yue Fei praised and said: "The current generals of our Beichen Kingdom have long thought that they are the best in the world, and even if they are below, it is impossible to completely suppress this proud mentality. In the future, the wars of the Empire will rarely involve decisive battles with large army build-ups, and it is estimated that most wars will be fought on a small scale. In that case, if the other commanders are not there, and the generals below are arrogant, the possibility of failure will be very high! ”

"Arrogance is a problem, Pengju, you still have to think of a way to suppress this kind of thinking in the army. Although the pride of the army can make the soldiers feel that they have an adequate army, the saying that the pride of the army will be defeated is also not bad. Find a way to make those proud soldiers change their proud attitude towards the army into a righteous attitude of safeguarding the honor of the army. ”

"This general will go back and discuss with a few military commanders!" Yue Fei said in a confused voice.

"Yes, you can. If there is nothing else, then stand down for now! Xiao Chen waved his hand and said.

"No! Wait for the resignation! Yue Fei and the four of them saluted, turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall.

————————————————————————

Just when Xiao Chen and Yue Fei were discussing a major matter, they were in a small village in the Zhongzhou of Beichen Kingdom.

Two officials dressed in black and red walked on the bluestone road in the village, one of them was in his forties, and there was an extremely terrifying scar on his face, from the bridge of his nose to the base of his ear. In addition, this person's left arm is also missing half, and only the left upper arm remains. The other is very young, looking only sixteen or seventeen years old, and there is no trace of wind and frost on his immature face.

"Uncle Tie, are you telling me about what happened when you fought on the battlefield!" Xiao Young looked at the uncle beside him with awe and said.

Li Tie turned his head, glared at him, and said, "You bastard boy, let Lao Tzu tell you every day, aren't you annoyed?" Damn, I'm getting tired of talking about it myself! “

"Hey, it's okay! Uncle Tie, I like to hear you tell the story of joining the army! “

"Bastard! Okay, Uncle Tie will tell you how my arm was broken! What do you think? Li Tie looked at the young man beside him dotingly.

I used to be a soldier, a mother-in-law, and my parents died in the flight a long time ago. The kid next to him was a little beggar he adopted seven years ago, and the little guy fell ill at his doorstep when he was dirty. Under the care of Li Tie and his mother-in-law, the little beggar who had been hungry for several days and had a serious illness survived smoothly. After that, the little one, who is already in his teens, lives in his own home.

Not to mention the little guy, he can work and is very smart. In just one year, I have grown a lot taller and stronger. Although I always call myself uncle, I also treat myself and my mother-in-law with respect, which is very gratifying. Two years after adopting this guy, he himself was drafted into the army. Before enlisting in the army, the mother-in-law at home had just become pregnant, but she didn't have much to worry about.

The only concern is the little beggar in front of him, the little guy has no words, only a name. The name is Hu Yan, and before leaving, he found a gentleman for the little guy, and gave him a word, and the word called Shaojin. The old gentleman said that the word lazy in the name of the little guy has the meaning of laziness, and the word should take the meaning of progress. As a result, less entry has become a lazy word.

Three years later, he came back with glory and a lot of money. The war made him lose half of his arm, and he could no longer stay in the army, so he had no choice but to retire. Seriously, Li Tie didn't know a single word before, his father was a blacksmith, and he only had a lot of strength. After spending a few years in the army, not only did someone help him learn to read and write, but he also got a lot of money and glory because he cut off a lot of the enemy's heads. When he left the barracks, Li Tie really didn't want to leave, and his body didn't have the strength to go.

After five years in the army, it was a very uncomfortable feeling. gone, and his comrades-in-arms who had been dependent on him for several years of life and death were about to part, and the idea of fighting on the battlefield and returning the body of the king on the horse leather would never have a chance to be realized again. Luckily, though, his chief is a good guy. When he left, he not only gave himself his armor, war horse, riding spear and saber, but also recommended himself to a position in Dong'an County.

When I returned home, I realized that my home had already changed. The simple and rough yellow mud house of the past is long gone, and what appears in front of me is a blue brick house. Li Tie has seen a lot of this kind of house, like the residential houses in the capital city have long been three-storey small buildings, which look much more beautiful than the green tile houses. Of course, your own nest is certainly not comparable to a house.

His mother-in-law gave birth to a fat boy, and this guy is as tall as himself, and his body is very strong. His son is called Li Feng, and I heard that it was the old gentleman who asked the young man to give the name, and it sounds better than his own.

Li Tie thought about the past for a while, and he forgot to tell Shaojin his story.

"Uncle Tie, what are you thinking, hurry up and tell a story!"

Li Tie was awakened by Shaojin's shout, laughed loudly, and said, "Haha, Uncle Li is distracted, I'll tell you!" “
