In the large tent of the Chinese army, everyone with their own thoughts said goodbye and left one by one. Only Wang Qiang and Li Fugui were left. As Yun Zhao's direct generals, it was appropriate for them to stay and talk to Yun Zhao.

, no one is surprised, and no one stays to be an eyesore.

"Commander, isn't it a little hasty to give Yao Changkun such an important position as the Four Prefectures Institutional Envoy? Although he is indeed talented, after all..." Although Wang Qiang was a little afraid, he thought for a while and still plucked up the courage to say, he even

The word hasty was used to describe Yun Zhao's appointment. "Actually, I think General Su Dingfang is more suitable."

Yun Zhao tilted his head and looked at this young general who was only 18 years old. At this time, he was still a horse thief, but he was able to command 20,000 generals at once. They all said that he had pioneered

The speed of promotion in Dai Viet has been greatly exceeded. In fact, this guy is the

Well! Wang Qiang is very clear about his loyalty. Wang Qiang is also a general he focuses on training. He has a strong family background, quick reactions, and can draw inferences from one case. Yun Zhao believes that given time, he will become the most powerful general under his command in all aspects.

Yun Zhao was not angry at Wang Qiang's doubts, but was very happy. A qualified general must first learn to weigh the pros and cons, and learn to express his opinions to his superiors at the right place and at the right time.

Seeing that Yun Zhao didn't have the slightest smile on his face, and even looked at Wang Qiang with some gloominess, Li Fugui on the side quickly said: "Commander, General Wang didn't mean to contradict the question, he is just a little worried."

Yun Zhao waved his hand, "I'm not unhappy. Li Mazi, you are a good person. You are actually thinking about the same thing, right?"

Li Fugui smiled sheepishly, "Yes, Governor, I think so too, but I don't have the guts to question the Governor. Yao Changkun is different from me and Wang Qiang!"

Yun Zhao smiled slightly. "I was born as a horse bandit, and I have been on horseback for the past few years. Although the number of subordinates under my command is constantly increasing, there are not many people who can really stand alone, especially the kind of people you have in mind.

Someone who is absolutely trustworthy, such as Xiao Yi. That guy

He is a good hand at killing people on horseback, training cavalry, and leading cavalry. But if you let him be the commander of this system, he will definitely be stubborn. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. When encountering the common people, they will

If you eat, you will be blind. Hao Ren is not as good as him, but Mr. Jiang is better

But this man who is almost seventy years old has been worried about me in the past few years. He is shaking when he walks. Can I let him come? If he dies in office, wouldn’t it be my fault? Ma Yi

Gong, people are loyal and capable, but compared to Qin Yi and Liang Pu, Yizhou is obviously

, Luzhou is more important to us, that is our base camp, I need him to make this base camp stronger, and the Su Dingfang you call is too square, without Yao Changkun's clever changes, and what I need is

A flexible person."

He paused, looked at the two of them, and said with a smile: "What's more, although Yao Changkun has been appointed as the envoy of Qin Yiliang and Pu Sizhou, and has command authority over tens of thousands of elite soldiers, you two are under his command! I

Is there anything to worry about?”

Both of them laughed.

"But you must be clear!" Yun Zhao suddenly had a serious face, "If you are under his command, you must obey orders. You must not rely on your relationship with me to give him trouble, contradict him, or violate him in disguise.

If you let me know, don't say that I will transfer you to Gaoyang to train my troops without any courtesy."

The two stood up solemnly, "Don't dare to violate it!"

"Sit down!" Yun Zhao nodded and said with a smile: "Relax a little. Don't doubt people, don't trust people when you employ them. Since I dare to use Yao Changkun, I am sure that nothing will happen."

"Commander, I want to say that the two armies of Fugui and I are going to support the four states of Qin Yiliang and Pu. Although there are more than 40,000 people, the number divided among the four states is only a little more than 10,000. The troops are not sufficient, and

General Yao said that he would send troops to Yonglong and Yanhe four states in two years.

Two years later, I think it will be impossible for the Commander-in-Chief to mobilize troops. This involves the issue of army expansion. If nothing else happens, this newly expanded army will become a force directly under General Yao, and at this scale, the Commander-in-Chief will not be able to mobilize troops.

It’s easy to control, what should I do then?”

"If Yao Changkun expands the army, you only need to insist on one thing, that is, no matter how much he expands the army, the grassroots officers must be transferred from your army. And if Yao Changkun is smart enough, he will also apply to transfer more middle-level officers from the Anqing border army.

From a high-ranking military officer.”

"I understand!" Wang Qiang said: "Li Fugui and I are his right-hand men. He must ask for our consent to expand the army. At that time, we can use the early formation of combat effectiveness as an excuse to transfer a large number of grassroots officers. If he

If you have different intentions, you will definitely disagree. If this is the case, the governor will also make a decision!"

Yun Zhao glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's good to understand some things, but you don't have to say them out loud. Wang Qiang, you are very smart, but remember, sometimes you don't want to show your intelligence. Showing your intelligence does not necessarily mean you are smart."

Wang Qiang blushed and said, "Thank you, Captain, for your teachings!"

"Go and have a rest. I think Yao Changkun is in Li Fugui's tent right now, waiting to see you!"

"So urgent?" Li Fugui said with a smile: "He just wants us to visit him, so he doesn't need to stay in my tent!"

"Li Mazi, you are talking nonsense again. Now we are his right-hand man. If he doesn't handle us, how can he successfully realize the Haikou he boasted to the governor!" Wang Qiang poked Li Fugui, and the two of them bowed to Yun Zhao and retreated.

go out.

Within the next few days, Ma You first led 500 carefully selected soldiers who were familiar with water properties to leave Shuntian Prefecture and drive towards Boyang County. Then Li Fugui served as the vanguard and drove towards Qinzhou adjacent to Luzhou, meeting with Cheng

The four guards belonging to the group conducted the handover.

Ten days later, Yun Zhao led more than a thousand of his personal guards to break camp and return to Xingling, Yizhou. Senior officials from the Zhengbei Governor's Office, headed by Yao Changkun, Wang Qiang, and Zhuo Yiming, were sent ten miles away.

Xingling, a newly rising city in the north, has become another important political center in the north. Yunzhao did not locate his northern governor's office in Yizhou, but in Xingling. This city was originally located in Yizhou.

Important prefectures and counties, after several years of management by the Anqing border army,

After that, the scale has expanded several times. Along the periphery of the original old city, several residential areas are formed in a circle, surrounding the old city one after another. The emerging city covers dozens of square kilometers.

In this new city, in addition to the original residents, most of them are

It is a place where military families and officials live. If foreigners want to enter this circle, they must go through extremely strict screening to get the right to live. As an emerging political center, commerce in the city is not developed. Except for some restaurants and shops, it is convenient to

It's run by some government officials

Workshops, and most of these workshops are related to military industry. The largest Fengrui Soldier Workshop has moved its finished product production location from Guangchang to Xingling, and Guangchang is now only used as a component manufacturing site, and the completed ordnance components are shipped.

Arrive at Xingling and complete the final assembly.

The military skill workshop has completed a detailed division of labor, such as Fengrui, which focuses on the production of offensive weapons, and these offensive weapons are mainly long-range strike forces, such as bed crossbows, strong crossbows, thunder cannons, thunder fire, etc.

These powerful weapons are the only ones left

The most popular close-quarters weapon is the Mo Dao, but due to the high demand for Mo Dao users, the output of Mo Dao is not high. Some other weapons workshops are divided into categories, such as swords and spears, shields, armor and leather armor, and military tents.

Workshops and military industries with different functions

Classified production not only increases the output of ordnance, but also greatly improves the quality. Another function of classified production is to allow these workshops to avoid vicious competition with each other, allowing these workshop owners to achieve greater success.

The focus is on improving product quality. After all, except for Fengrui, which is a monopoly, there are several companies competing in every other category. When it comes to the procurement of military products, Yunzhao always wins the bid with the highest quality. If

If you don't try to improve quality, you will be ruthlessly eliminated.

Another destructive product of product classification is to improve the quality of smelted steel. Guangchang Mine provides only raw iron, and refined steel must be smelted by each military workshop. After all, without good steel, it is difficult to create high-quality steel.

for other people’s products.

Military products have become the largest industry in Xingling. It not only provides Yunzhao with all kinds of weapons, but also is the best place for Yunzhao to place injured and retired soldiers due to their aging. The joining of these people not only makes Yunzhao

can better understand the operations of making murderous weapons.

The workshop has also improved the quality of the product from another aspect. Only soldiers who have retired from the battlefield know how good weapons can help soldiers. What's more, once something happens to Xing Ling, these people can pick up weapons and

Form an army with good combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.

The original old city of Xingling became the location of all the yamen of the new Zhengbei Governor's Mansion. After receiving the notification from Yun Zhao, Ma Yigong and Guo Changxing, who stayed in Xingling, immediately began to prepare for the establishment of the Zhengbei Governor's Mansion.

of all needs.

On the outskirts of the city, there are large areas of farmland connected by streets. Different from other places, between these farmlands, you can see roads leading from all sides. They are based on Sanhe soil, paved with gravel, and then

These flat roads make Xingling's traffic extremely developed. No matter what the weather is, the roads here will not cause any obstacles to traffic.

The farmers here are basically composed of the Gaoshan people who migrated from the mountains. The Gaoshan people who came down from the mountains were allocated land, houses, and livestock, and their living standards were greatly improved compared to before. This made them grateful to Yunzhao.

The Gaoshan people, who have been poor for countless generations, cherish their hard-won happy life very much. They form the strongest barrier outside Xingling City.

Unlike all political centers in Dai Viet, Xing Linh does not have a towering city wall. Firstly, it is because Yun Zhao does not have enough financial resources to build a Xiongcheng comparable to Yizhou City. If it cannot reach the level of Dai Viet City, then

It is better not to practice, that way, it will be more impressive. Secondly, Yun Zhao is now getting stronger, and he is confident that no matter who it is now, they will not be able to attack Xingling, even if they attack Xingling, Xingling people

It can also repel all invaders. The human heart is like a wall!
