During the time of waiting for Qi Jingtong, Zhu Houxi tapped his fingers on the table, constantly thinking about the gains and losses in his heart, and Yang Tinghe did remind him that he should take precautions in advance, and it is not easy to manage outside for the time being, but the capital cannot be chaotic, and even the slightest sign of chaos cannot appear.

But this matter, in fact, it's not easy to say, businessmen, for business means, more or recognize those who are willing to gamble and lose, of course, there are also those who do not admit defeat, as long as someone takes the lead, it is not a good thing to say.

"Relative Jingtong, see Your Majesty." didn't let Zhu Houxi wait too long, Qi Jingtong had already come, and he kept thinking about what His Majesty was looking for him for.

Last time, His Majesty suddenly visited, but he was frightened, but fortunately, he was not lazy in training, so as not to be embarrassed in front of His Majesty, but His Majesty suddenly left, which made him frightened, and he originally wanted to take His Majesty to see his special training camp after the end.

This is according to Wang Yangming's standards, he has always had a dream, although it came out of General Wang, but he also has his own dreams, he doesn't want to live in the shadow of others, so he also set up his own special training camp according to General Wang's idea, and the results are still very good, but unfortunately, Your Majesty did not see it.

Later, he began to expand the army, and of course the expansion of the army was to let the soldiers mobilize their fellow villagers, so he gave the soldiers a holiday in batches, and then, and then he went crazy, hearing about his treatment, coupled with the changes in the soldiers who went back, a large number of people crowded into the conscription.

He was both surprised and delighted, picking and choosing 150,000, planning to ask for it first, although His Majesty said that he was disappointed, but he could train first, and there was room for elimination of those who were unqualified, so that everyone was a little nervous, after all, 250,000 people were going to eliminate 50,000, and the proportion was not small.

He reported the idea, and then it was directly approved, but His Majesty meant that the 50,000 people would be used as a reserve army, and they would be made up at any time once the war was fought, if the army also began to train for a while, the quality of this batch was actually a little better than the previous batch, but the previous batch had also been trained for more than half a year, and there must be a gap.

The two groups of armies are trained separately, but they are indeed used as two sides to confront each other, after all, there is pressure to have motivation, and there is oppression to resist, I believe that if he is given another three months, the new army can be almost formed.

Originally, he was training today, and suddenly received a summons from His Majesty, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, although he did a good job, but what if he couldn't meet His Majesty's standards.

"Get up, find a place to sit." Zhu Houxi waved his hand, and the moment he saw Qi Jingtong, he thought of the military restructuring in his mind, mainly because the current military establishment made him feel very uncomfortable, and he had no sense of substitution at all.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qi Jingtong found a place to sit down, but as if there was a Hong Kong truth under his buttocks, he didn't dare to sit down at all, just waiting for His Majesty's summons, he could stand up at any time.

"I asked you to expand the army before, how is the expansion?" Zhu Houxi tapped his fingers, and the general news Lu Fang was also reporting, but he still listened to Qi Jingtong himself.

Hearing His Majesty's question, Qi Jingtong's buttocks, which had not yet sat firmly, suddenly got up, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the recruitment plan has been successfully completed before January, and now it is being trained, and if you give Weichen another three months, the new army will be able to reach a similar level." ”

Hearing His Majesty ask this, Qi Jingtong doubted whether His Majesty wanted to fight, in fact, it was not impossible to fight, where did the military merits come from if he didn't fight, but it was no problem for the previous 100,000 people to go to the battlefield, and the latest 150,000 people couldn't go to the battlefield, but it was basically a trial and error with life, and the casualties were too great.

But raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while, since they are here to be soldiers, they must have the consciousness of going to the battlefield, as long as His Majesty gives an order, he will dare to go anywhere.

"Three months is too long, one month, at least a month, I want them to do the ban, whether they can go to the battlefield for the time being, at least not like a straggler."

"No, Your Majesty is going to war?" Qi Jingtong raised his head cautiously, I haven't heard of any major events recently, maybe His Majesty wants to fight, in fact, according to his idea, it is best to live a year and a half, and then fight when the army is fully formed, it is not impossible to fight now, but the casualties will definitely be a little large.

But it's still the same sentence, raising an army for a thousand days is used for a while, eating and drinking well and finding silver, what do you want to do with such treatment, it is a matter of course to eat and fight.

"Don't be in a hurry, you prepare first, go back and restructure the army, now this is called Fa Zhen It sounds uncomfortable." Zhu Houxi can't say it well, he always feels that Tatar will be dishonest, and he also knows that now is not the best time, but if people hit the door, you can still admit it.

"I don't know how Your Majesty wants to restructure?" Qi Jingtong was a little puzzled, okay, what does Your Majesty want to change.

Imagine the Chinese network

"Ten people are a squad, three squads are a platoon, three platoons are a company, three companies are a battalion, three battalions are a regiment, three regiments are a brigade, three brigades are a division, and three divisions are an army, so that an army is a little more than 20,000 people, and 200,000 people are rounded up and changed into ten armies, and then your special forces are all independent and given according to the number of people, which is also easy to manage."

That's right, here is the rabbit's famous three-three system, at least Zhu Houyu feels comfortable to listen to this, otherwise some miscellaneous troops, Zhu Houyu feels a headache when he listens to it, so at least it is easy to remember.

"No." Although it is strange why His Majesty changed it like this, he just listened to what His Majesty said, but it didn't seem to be very bad.

"Well, you go back to reform first, step up training, and be on call at any time, I don't have to fight, but once the war starts, you can't tell me that you can't fight, understand?" Qi Jingtong's army really spent a lot of money, and it couldn't be spent in vain.

"No, then these military commanders ......" There are a lot of official positions coming out, and there are some miscellaneous problems, which feels a little troublesome.

"You appoint it yourself, I only give you a month, you have to change within a month, and you can't fall behind in training." Zhu Houxi didn't care, let alone so many military commanders, it would be crazy for a military commander to appoint him, how could there be so many people, besides, Qi Jingtong has led the army for so long, so he doesn't have a cronie or anything?

And this is also to give him a chance, to change the blood of the army, the army must ensure a certain degree of purity, especially the army around him, otherwise it is really annoying to be stabbed in the back, the confrontation in the front may be a headache, and the act of stabbing the knife in the back is even more uncomfortable.

"The last general will make a military order, if it can't be completed, the last general will come to see him."

"It's better to be like this, but it's useless to just talk about it, what I want is the result, there may be a lot of changes in the army in the recent period, you have to be ready at any time." Zhu Houxi remembered that Yang Shen's single-shot rifle seemed to have been made, but it was a little unstable and still being debugged, but this was all a month ago, and it should be about the same now, go over and take a look, if you can, change Qi Jingtong's equipment, maybe you can achieve a surprise effect.

"No, follow in your Majesty's footsteps." Qi Jingtong said that there is no problem, he has absolutely no problem with the control of the army, and after the guidance of His Majesty last time, he consulted Yan Song and Yang Shen, as well as Huang Gonggong, to carry out 'ideological and political education' in the army, and the first lesson is to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, and then obey orders.

Now that he thinks about it, he can't help but feel afraid, he only thinks about improving the combat effectiveness of the army, but he doesn't make it clear whose army this is, Your Majesty may not care, but what if, waiting for his prestige in the army to continue to grow, it will inevitably cause some bad things and cause some people to be suspicious, in case His Majesty doesn't trust him, then he is not far from death.

How many generals throughout the ages have been like this, and they can't recognize the reality, Xu Da is very sober, no matter how great the merit is, no matter how big the reward is, it is given by His Majesty, and everything else is false, he is just a courtier, only in this way can he start and finish well, otherwise such as Lan Yu and others, no matter how brave they are, they will only end up in a different place.

"Alright, let's go down and prepare, I'll take a look when I have time." Zhu Houxi waved his hand, at present, he can only rely on Qi Jingtong, but the army of more than 200,000 is basically enough at any time, if the more than 200,000 can't be stopped, then he admits it, after all, this is a battleable army.

The clamor of the ancient army is indeed quite powerful, but many of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, this is a battleable division made by Qi Jingtong, not to mention the attack of 250,000, it is always no problem to resist.

"No." Qi Jingtong had to order him to leave, and Zhu Houxi touched his chin and opened the door of the secret room, he had to see Yang Shen, and he didn't know what this kid was doing.

"See Your Majesty." In a few months, because of the repair of the mausoleum, Yang Shen's movements were exceptionally fast, the tunnel had been dug to the palace, and someone specially guarded it, as long as Zhu Houyu came down, someone would definitely greet him, and Yang Shen was also afraid that Zhu Houyu would make a surprise attack.

"Well, what about Yang Shen?" Zhu Houxi nodded slightly, he has been busy with alchemy for the past few months, how can he have time to come down, just looking at Yang Shen's monthly report, it seems that the progress is not bad.

"The commander is working, and the villain is going to inform the commander."

"No, take me over." Zhu Houxi waved his hand, he didn't have such a big shelf, and when Yang Shen came to pick him up, and then find a place to chat, he was not so idle.

Follow the people below to Yang Shen's office area, in this underground, Yang Shen really made an underground palace, through here, you can basically go to any corner of the capital, it is really good.

"Pointing ......" Yang Shen was sleeping, and he was just trying to wake him up but was stopped by Zhu Houxi, this guy hasn't rested for a long time, and he looks like he hasn't seen the sun for many days, such an employee is really hard to find.

"Who?" The sudden silence made Yang Shen suddenly convuls.

"Are you awake?" Zhu Houxi looked at his general with a smile, he was indeed pitiful, the science and technology trees on his side all relied on Yang Shen, whether it was the foundation and development, it all depended on him, and it was indeed hard for him.

Seeing Zhu Houxi, Yang Shen instantly fell asleep and hurriedly got up, "Weichen see Your Majesty." ”

"No courtesy, who are the two of us, use cultivation, it's not me talking about you, you have to pay attention to your body if you're fine, it's only been a long time, you see you making trouble." Now Yang Shen's physical condition can't be said to be very bad, but it's not too good, you know, Yang Shen has been through his waste of a lot of effort to breathe, how long has it been, and his body is like this.

"If you have a rest, isn't the minister sleeping just now?" Yang Shen scratched his head, his heart was warm, every time His Majesty saw him, the first thing he asked was his physical condition, how could this great monarch not let people do their best to be loyal.

"You, it's like this every time, if you go to the palace in a few days, I'm afraid that your body will collapse." Zhu Houxi shook his head helplessly, basically every one of them made people worry-free.

"It's okay, Weichen's body can still hold up, Your Majesty didn't just care about the minister's body this time, right?" Yang Shen smiled, the relationship between the two is that of a monarch and a minister, and they also feel like friends, sometimes they talk very easily, and Yang Shen feels more relaxed when talking to His Majesty than talking to his father.

However, although he said so, Yang Shen is still very clear about the difference between monarchs and ministers, he can watch jokes, but he can't go over it, His Majesty doesn't care that it is His Majesty's kindness, if he can't figure it out, it's his fault.

"You, I came to you to see you, I can't miss you?" Zhu Houxi rolled his eyes, you just think about me like this, it's really helpless.

Yang Shen didn't speak, just looked at Your Majesty with a smile, didn't you come here for a while, don't lie to me, I don't read much.

"Okay, okay, I really can't stand you, I really have something to do with you, how is the armament thing doing?" When it comes to business, Zhu Houxi is much more serious.

"The single-shot rifle that Your Majesty said has been debugged and can be used, using metal bullets made by ourselves, Wechen has tried it, it is very easy to use, but there are certain hidden dangers, the risk of exploding the chamber still exists, but the range and accuracy are very good, and the power is also very good, and now a batch has been manufactured, and then the bullets and firearms are being upgraded again, and the grenades that Your Majesty said have also come out, and the killing range is not bad, and shrapnel has a very high damage to the cavalry."

Yang Shen simply reported the results of this period of time, which can be said to be phased, and the advent of modern firearms made Zhu Houxi have more confidence in the possible war.

"How many exactly?" If the number is enough, Zhu Houxi still wants to equip it in advance, after all, this thing is to be practiced, when I used to use the firecracker, the accuracy of that thing was not very good, it was basically a queue design, but now the accuracy can be maintained, then the bullets can't be wasted, if they want to shoot at will, they can directly punch the family after a game, which is not worth it at all.

Now there is no mature bullet production line, all rely on manual forging, and a gun without bullets is a burning stick, which may not even be as good as a burning stick.

"There are more than 1,000 guns, hundreds of thousands of matching bullets, thousands of grenades, and the number of guns can be quickly raised, but the bullets can't be used, and now it's the limit, and the speed can't go up, but the cartridge casings can be recycled, and the shells are made of copper, hard enough, and then it's a grenade, and I don't dare to make more of this thing, for fear that it will be blown up if it is not stored properly."

Speaking of which, he is also quite helpless, there are so many craftsmen under his hands, this is the limit, because of the cultivation of the tomb, he has drawn a large number of craftsmen from all over the country, and there is no way to continue to draw, and the current output is like this, besides, he has other orders here.

For example, the traditional bow and arrow and equipment, not all of them have to be manufactured by him, and now there is no one in the Ministry of Works, and there are other projects, so to speak, there are no other things in her hands at present, that is, there are many projects and a lack of people.
