Time flies,

In the blink of an eye, the end of the month is approaching.

At the end of the month, a new year begins.

Every household is also preparing New Year's goods and looking forward to the arrival of the new year. For the people, life is becoming more and more promising.

In today's turmoil, the current peace is all thanks to Chu Feng. In the entire Yangzhou territory, there is no one who does not applaud Chu Feng.

Previously, a lazy man in a certain village drank two mouthfuls of cat urine, complained about Chu Feng's injustice, and said a few bad words. He was immediately surrounded by the young and old in the village and beat him up. The village chief even wanted to expel him from the village.

If it weren't for someone's persuasion and the lazy man begging for mercy, he would never give up! It can be seen that Chu Feng's status in the hearts of the people has been deeply rooted.

They support it as much as possible!

They want to live like this in the future.

Hefei, the announcement place in the downtown area.

"Mom, look, the Singapore dollar has risen again. This is the third increase this month, right? It's rising so fast!" A young man shouted excitedly.

Most of the young people and people in the city are from the surrounding areas, and very few can live in the city. However, although the new city has not been completely completed, it has become the most lively place for people traveling from north to south.

"well!"

The woman's face was dark and yellow, which was caused by years of malnutrition. Her figure was slightly stooped, and her face with dark spots showed a sincere smile.

The higher the ratio of coins, the more valuable their money is and their lives will be better and better.

"Fortunately, fortunately, we changed it at the beginning. If we hadn't changed it, we would have lost a lot of money now. Now the prices of various items are getting lower and lower!" someone commented.

"It's harmful. That's because Chu Gong is dedicated to us people. If it were replaced by other princes, it would definitely not be worth it. It is said that in order to launch these, the treasury spent a lot of money."

The voices of people talking can be heard everywhere,

They are the direct beneficiaries. The money in their hands has not changed, but the prices of items have become lower, which means that the cost of purchasing things has become lower.

Compared with the era of soaring prices in the late Han Dynasty, this is obviously good news.

The woman led the young man to a recruiting place. There were many people lined up, all of whom were joining the army. This was incomparable to the forced recruitment of other princes.

The woman looked at the young man with tears in her eyes and said with concern: "Chen'er, remember, once you become a soldier of Duke Chu, you will have to sacrifice your life."

"You still have a younger brother, so you don't have to worry about your family."

"If you die in battle, my mother will go to the cemetery to see you, but if I know that you are retreating from the battle, my mother will break your legs and deny you as my son!"

The woman’s words at the back were harsher,

Although she did not want to give up her child, she had a country and a family. She was willing to let her child protect her family and the country, and she was willing to let him follow Chu Feng in the north and south.

"Mom, don't worry!"

"Go!" The woman stopped her sobs, waved and watched the young man walk to the recruitment office. Obviously, she entered the city to send her children to join the army.

And like her, there are many people who take the initiative to send their children, and there are also many young people who come on their own, all because of Chu Feng's reputation as a champion of the three armies.

Similar incidents happen all over Yangzhou from time to time!

————

Shouchun, the backyard of the general's mansion.

In a side room, Chu Feng looked slightly anxious.

"Doctor, how is it?"

At this moment, the doctor stroked his beard and smiled, bowing and saying: "Congratulations to Mr. Chu, congratulations to Mr. Chu. Madam is very happy. She should be pregnant for more than a month!"

"Are you pregnant?" Chu Feng trembled, and then said excitedly: "Are you really pregnant?"

"It's absolutely true. I will send someone to prescribe some anti-fetal medicine later. During this period, remember not to work too much, not to catch cold, and not to be frightened."

"I will note these precautions later!" The doctor was also happy that he could detect Mrs. Chu Feng's pulse. He will be very busy with work in the future.

What a great thing!

"Okay, okay, haha, reward, you will be rewarded." Chu Feng has been a man for two generations, but he became a father for the first time. The excitement cannot be described in words.

"Husband," Daqiao said with a smile in his beautiful eyes.

Her belly was finally pregnant with Chu Feng's child.

Judging by the time, it should be before Chu Feng took the concubine, and she hoped it would be a boy next. Mother is more valuable than son, and she did not want to be left out by Chu Feng.

"Take good rest!" Chu Feng said, caressing his beautiful cheek.

"Well," Daqiao could clearly feel Chu Feng's excited concern, and was very pleased in his heart.

After saying that, Chu Feng immediately stood up, waved his sleeves and said: "Go, use the best ginseng to make some chicken soup. In addition, from today on, no one in the house is allowed to hit the bridge."

"No!" the maids around said in unison.

"I am happy today. All the slaves in the house will be rewarded with a hundred coins." After Chu Feng said cheerfully, he had to go to the general's house to tell Lu Su and others about the news that Daqiao was pregnant with an heir.

"Thank you so much, Master!" All the maids gave blessings.

Chu Feng told the bridge to take more rest before striding away.

——

After a while, the general's office was reached.

Lu Su and other civil servants were discussing matters,

"Zijing, Zijing, my wife is pregnant," Chu Feng was anxious to share this joy. This was not only his business, Chu Feng's, but also the business of all the people under his rule.

Everyone should be happy!

"Pregnant?" Lu Su was surprised at first, and then said: "I wonder which lady is pregnant with my lord's son?"

"The Bridge,"

Hearing this, Lu Su was sincerely happy: "Very good, very good. I just hope that she can give birth to a son. This will be a blessing to all the people in the world."

"I hope so!" Chu Feng said with a smile: "What were you discussing just now?"

"My lord, we were discussing conscription, currency and other matters just now. At present, our army has 50,000 infantry, 15,000 boat divisions, and 200 cavalry."

"I suggest that the infantry can be divided into 30,000 central imperial troops who can be directly appointed or dispatched by the lord. The remaining 20,000 infantry can be used as border troops by the generals of various ministries, while the boat division is fully controlled by Gan Ning."

"In addition, there are Zhang Liao's cavalry, Gao Shun's trapped camp, etc."

Lu Su gave a brief introduction.

Although most of them are new soldiers, Chu Feng currently has more than 60,000 soldiers and horses, and he is definitely one of the more powerful princes.

"Thirty thousand central forbidden troops?" Chu Feng frowned: "No, centralization of power is important, but if you don't dare to delegate power, how can you control the world?"

"In this way, 10,000 central imperial troops will be left, and the remaining 40,000 infantry will be divided into four legions, led by Zhao Fan, Taishi Ci, Lu Meng, and you respectively."

"Besides here, Zhang Liao is in charge of the cavalry corps, and Gao Shun is in charge of the enemy camp independently. As for Gan Ning, he can serve as the commander of the navy, but his character is hasty and he still needs someone to help him on the left."

Chu Feng said solemnly.

"This..." Lu Su was stunned for a moment, and then said immediately: "My lord, General Zhao has outstanding military achievements. It is natural for him to follow my lord for the first time and lead the army alone."

"But Tai Shi Ci is a general who has surrendered many times. My lord might as well observe him for a while? As for Lu Meng, he is still young and has not had many achievements. I am afraid that many of my lord's veteran generals will be dissatisfied!"

Lu Su said solemnly with a warning look on his face.

"Zijing, don't be suspicious when you employ someone and don't use them when you don't. Since I dare to use him, I can also kill him, so don't worry too much. As for Lu Meng, he is diligent in learning and asking questions, so you can let him go and experience it."

"As for those who are dissatisfied, let them come to me. The competition in the army is about ability, and those who are capable are the ones who win. If you are sure that you are better than Lu Meng, you can definitely compete with him."

"Moreover, Taishi Ci is a general, and using him can make more people surrender. As for Lu Meng, a potential stock, it also shows that I will train these people if they are talented."

Chu Feng waved his hand, he actually wanted to use Lu Xun's, but the Lu Xun family's status was sensitive, and the person was really too young, so it was very inconvenient to use it.

"This..." Lu Su hesitated.

"In addition, the recruitment continues, and the troops and horses of each unit are expanded to 20,000 boat divisions, 5,000 traps, 5,000 wolf cavalry, and 50,000 infantry, which can form two fleets."

"One imperial army, four legions, one cavalry and one heavy infantry."

Chu Feng said according to the blueprint in his mind that there should be at least two fleets, and each fleet should form a series of at least three battleships to form the strongest combat effectiveness.

Only with these 80,000 people can we control and balance the world.

Although most of these are new soldiers, they will definitely be able to take on their own roles in the future, become a protective umbrella for refugees all over the world, and fight for the country.

Listening to the formation prepared by Chu Feng, Lu Su also quite agreed with it. If so many combat formations were to be formed, Yangzhou's combat power would probably not be weaker than Cao Cao's.

"We still need war horses to go north. In this way, I will transfer all the war horses in the territory to Zhang Liao and let him train wolf riders. In addition, let the craftsman camp make cloth armor, horse-cloth armor, and continuous crossbows."

"In addition, there are horizontal swords and horseshoes for infantry. I will talk about these myself later!" Chu Feng waved his hand. He was afraid that these things could not be arranged well.

As for the double-sided stirrups, this thing is indeed very simple. The protagonist of the novel almost invented it himself. Chu Feng also thought about it, but he only has hundreds of horses under his command.

What's the point of inventing them all?

Once something that is so easy to copy is discovered and brought back by the Xianbei, Wuhuan, Xiongnu, etc., it will be a disaster for the Central Plains.
