; Chapter 418: Secret Seizure

The matter of the old general Wei Chi Yao leading the army to rebel was quickly quelled, but this was not a simple farce, its follow-up influence was too strong, and it directly shook Tang Ling's throne. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There were already rebels in the country of the wind, but the rebels from all walks of life were fighting separately and did not unite together. However, Wei Chiyao's rebellion created an opportunity for the alliance of rebels from all walks of life in the Wind Country.

Wei Chiyao's proposition was strongly supported and hyped by the rebels from all walks of life, and there were rumors in all parts of the Wind Country that 'Tang Ling would not die, and the Wind Country would perish', and for a while, Tang Ling became the one pointed out by Wanfu, as if he had become the biggest sinner in the Wind Country.

The undercurrents in the Wind Country are surging, and a new large-scale rebellion is also brewing.

And this is exactly the effect that Ning Nan wants, and it is also where Ning Nan's cleverness lies in throwing out his relatives, as long as the wind and civil strife are further aggravated, their plan will be considered to be most successful.

Jeong-gun.

After Shangguan Xiu returned to Xijing, he immediately began to set up the steam engines that had been transported from Tia. At first, he planned to place the steam engine in the forge shop, but was strongly opposed by Jin Wan'er and the craftsmen of Ningnan.

Neither Jin Wan'er nor the craftsmen of Ningnan thought that using this so-called steam engine to smelt iron would be better than manual forging.

The main work of the forge is to make firecrackers, the requirements for the purity of iron are very high, once the purity of iron is not enough, used in firecrackers, it is easy to explode, and the firecrackers on the battlefield are not the enemy, but their own people.

During the period when Shangguan Xiu was gone, the forge had already produced hundreds of finished firecrackers, and the results were remarkable, and now Shangguan Xiu advocated using a steam engine to replace them in iron smelting and forging, which of course they were unwilling.

Shangguan Xiu didn't know how effective the steam engine was, and he had to be cautious about the protests of Jin Wan'er and others.

At this time, Qingyuan gave him a note, not to place the steam engine in Xijing City, but to place it near the iron mine.

The plant that houses the steam engine is built close to the iron ore, so that the iron smelting will be more convenient by using local materials, and the process of transporting iron ore over long distances will be eliminated.

Shangguan Xiu adopted Qingyuan's opinion, and added a second forging workshop to the face of the forging workshop, with Shangguan Qingyuan as the supervisor, responsible for all matters such as selecting a site near the iron mine to build a plant and subsequent production.

As far as their hearts are concerned, Jin Wan'er and Ningnan craftsmen don't look down on the Tia techniques introduced by Shangguan Xiu and the Tia craftsmen he brought back to Zhenjun, but Shangguan Xiu also stimulated them to a great extent in the establishment of the second forging workshop.

Jin Wan'er immediately asked the craftsmen and apprentices recruited in Ningnan to work day and night to speed up the progress of making firecrackers, so as to prove to Shangguanxiu that the manufacture of such an advanced weapon as firecrackers ultimately had to rely on manpower and a machine composed of a pile of iron, which was completely unreliable, and that was also whimsical.

The forging workshop headed by Jin Wan'er held back a lot of energy in his heart to compete with the second forging workshop headed by Qingyuan, which is of course what Shangguan Xiu is willing to see, no matter how fierce the competition between the two is, it is Zhenjun who will benefit in the end.

As the forge made batches of firecrackers, firecrackers were officially equipped into the Zhenjun army. The first legion to be armed with firearms was the First Legion of the Zhenjun Army.

On this day, Shangguan Xiu summoned the four commanders of the Zhenjun Army at the county governor's mansion to discuss the establishment of a military police. Luo Ren, Zhan Xiong, Hu Chong, and An Yifu had never heard of the term gendarme, and they didn't understand what gendarmes were.

Shangguan Xiu explained the role of the gendarmes to the four of them, and An Yifu suddenly realized after hearing this, and said with a smile: "My lord, this gendarme is the supervising team, this is not a new thing, we have already had it in the Fengguo." ”

"It's not quite the same as the Warlords, who are not permanent armies, and will only be formed temporarily when they are fighting, while the Gendarmerie is a permanent army, and its role is not only to supervise the battles on the battlefield, but also to supervise the military regulations and military discipline of the officers and men in the army on weekdays. Strict military law is the foundation of administering the army, and I think it is still very necessary to set up a military police. ”

In Zhenjun, only Shangguanxiu can manage the Zhenjun army, and now to set up a military police is tantamount to adding a tight spell to the head of the Zhenjun army.

An Yifu cautiously asked, "So, how many gendarmes are you going to form, and from which army will the gendarmes be drawn from?"

Shangguan Xiu pondered for a moment, and Zhengse said: "The size of the gendarmerie is tentatively set as a corps, and as for the candidates for the gendarmerie officers, they are all recruited from among the people. The army is raised by the people of Zhenjun, and the people of Zhenjun also have the right to supervise the army they themselves support. ”

After experiencing the illusion at the bottom of the sinkhole, and experiencing the advanced thinking of Tia, Shangguan Xiu's concept is also constantly leaping. Luo Ren Zhan Xiong, Hu Chong, An Yifu looked at each other, and said in a low voice: "My lord, this, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”

"There's nothing wrong with that. As I have just said, a notice was put up to recruit gendarmes throughout the county. ”

"Yes, sir. Seeing that Shangguan Xiu had made up his mind, everyone didn't say anything more, and agreed one after another.

"There's nothing else to do, let's go back and prepare!"

Zhan Xiong Hu Chong An Yifu still had something to say, Luo Ren took the lead in getting up, arched his hand and said, "Brother Xiu, it is a retirement." After speaking, he turned around and walked out, Zhan Xiong and the three looked at each other, and in the end they didn't say anything more, they all retreated, and followed Luo Ren out.

Outside the county governor's mansion, Luo Ren hurriedly stepped on the horse, Zhan Xiong and others chased after him and greeted: "Ah Ren, everyone has been busy with each other during this time, and we haven't been together for a long time, so let's go to the tavern for a drink while we are free today!"

Luo Ren's head shook like a rattle, and said, "No, I don't have time to drink, there are a lot of affairs to deal with in the army." As he spoke, he grabbed the saddle and got on the horse. Zhan Xiong took the first step, walked behind him, and grabbed him by the back belt.

"Tsk. Luo Ren looked back at Zhan Xiong dissatisfied, and then at Hu Chong and An Yifu, who were walking towards him with a malicious smile, and he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Is there anything else with the three of you?"

"Lao Luo, I heard that the First Army has just received thousands of firearms?" An Yifu asked with a dry smile.

"Is there such a thing? I really don't know now, I'll have to go back and look into it first. Luo Ren was in a hurry to get on the horse again, and the old god Zhan Xiong was standing behind him, and the hand holding his back belt did not let go at all.

An Yifu said solemnly: "Brother Zhenjun, named the Fourth Army, is actually a family, regardless of each other, Lao Luo, are you right?"

Luo Ren sighed secretly, he knew that it would be like this, so he hurried and hurried, but he still didn't run away. He stretched out two fingers pitifully, and said with a wry smile: "Eight hundred! It's just eight hundred! I just arrived in the army this morning, and I haven't covered it yet......

Before he finished speaking, Zhan Xiong had already put his arms around his neck and said heroically: "What eight hundred is not eight hundred, let's go to the tavern to drink wine and eat meat, and if we have something to say, we will talk slowly on the wine table." Ah Shino, the three of us will treat you to this meal!"

"You're not inviting me to drink, you're going to drink my blood, and you're not inviting me to eat meat, but you're going to cut my flesh to eat......" "What are you and me, my brother, what are you polite?" "......"

The Zhenjun Army officially established a military police, and the people who signed up to participate in it can be said to be extremely enthusiastic, and the recruitment points in each county and city were overcrowded, not to mention the conscription of 10,000 people, even if the conscription of 100,000 was more than enough.

It was also when the Zhenjun Army was recruiting military police, a will from Shangjing suddenly reached Xijing.

The gist of this will is: Tang Ling remembered Shangguan Xiu's rescue in Yuzhen, and specially awarded Shangguan Xiu the title of first-class earl, and canonized him as the county guard of Zhenjun, and immediately reported to his post, in addition, Tang Ling also canonized Guo Yi, the general of Zhenxi, as the county lieutenant of Zhenjun.

After this decree was transmitted to Xijing, it caused an uproar among the Zhenjun army, and the soldiers of the whole army were all indignant.

Whether the knight is a knight or not, it's just a false name, it doesn't matter at all, Tang Ling wants Shangguan Xiu to be the county guard in Zhenjun, what does this guard mean, in the future, Shangguanxiu only has administrative management power in Zhenjun, and the military power of the Zhenjun army will all fall into the hands of that miscellaneous general Guo Yi.

Tang Ling's move was a typical Ming Sheng's actual surrender, and he wanted to take away all the 400,000 troops in Shangguan Xiu's hands lightly.

No one is a fool, the Zhenjun Army will not tolerate this kind of thing, and Shangguan Xiu will not sit back and let Tang Ling slaughter him.

Shangguan Xiu sat in the study, holding this holy decree sent by Tang Ling, feeling angry and funny. Tang Ling, a little woman, can't fight the ministers with deep-rooted forces in the DPRK and China, can't fight the soldiers in the army, and can't fight the rebels and rebels in the counties, so she has a very good way to deal with herself.

The holy decree has been, if he obeys, he will end up with the reputation of a loyal minister, but the military power is gone, if he does not obey, although the military power is still there, but in the past two years, the prestige erected by Yu Zhenjun has all come to naught. Tang Ling is playing with himself!

"Haha-" Shangguan Xiu threw the holy decree on the table, and couldn't help but laugh on his back. If Tang Ling was in front of him now, he really wanted to ask what she was thinking.

With the knock on the door, Luo Fu, the owner of the Dark Flag, walked in from outside, bowed to Shangguan Xiu, who was sitting behind the desk, and said respectfully: "My lord." ”

"Hmm. Shangguan Xiu waved his hand at Luo Fu and asked, "Luo Fu, is that Guo Yi on his way to Xijing to report on his work?"

"Yes, my lord, Guo Yi has now arrived in Tong'an County, Zhendong. ”

"You are very familiar with the local land snakes!" Although Luo Fu is the Dark Banner Bannerman, his ability is not very strong, and he is not a spirit cultivator, in terms of inquiring about intelligence, he has always been in the wind of the deputy flag master Zhao Chen, but he is a ruffian, and he is very familiar with the ruffians and gangsters in all parts of Zhen County.

Luo Fu bowed down and responded: "It's a good relationship." ”

"Very good, you go and arrange the local head snake, find a random reason, and kill Guo Yi. Shangguan Xiu smiled and said softly: "I don't want to see this person walk out of Zhendong, you, let him stay in Zhendong forever, never come out!"

"I understand, I'll do it!" Luo Fu rolled his eyes and asked, "So, Guo Yi's family ......?"

"If you want to blame it, blame them for giving birth to the wrong place, the wrong birth. Shangguan Xiu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea slowly, but a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
