Chapter 120 In March of next year, the sword points to Tianyi
When Zhu Ke thought of this, his eyes immediately became firm, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely help share your worries!"
Yuncheng on the side also showed a smile, remembering that when he went from a supervisory department to his current position as prime minister, he relied on Bai Yutian's trust and promotion.
For him, Bai Yutian is both a monarch and a confidant.
"Hahahaha, okay!"
Bai Yutian was overjoyed when he heard Zhu Ke's answer. He quickly asked someone to make a pot of tea and poured Zhu Ke a cup of tea himself.
Zhu Ke was shocked, and then he looked firm and had a drink with Bai Yutian.
The academy in Tailin City was the largest in the Zhou Dynasty, with the broadest staff and the highest qualifications.
Originally, Bai Yutian had plans to move the capital. After regaining the lost territory in the future, he planned to move the capital north and re-establish the capital in Shangyuan.
However, this idea was opposed by Yuncheng and Yan Chong.
The Great Zhou Dynasty moved to Tailin City by accident, which was actually a good opportunity.
The climate in Tailin City is much warmer than that in Shangyuan City, and there are two large rivers running through the city. The surrounding terrain is flat and transportation is convenient.
Moreover, Tailin City is located in the Central Plains region of the Great Zhou Kingdom, not far from the eastern coastal areas. It can not only control the whole country, but also develop the economy.
Of course, the only disadvantage is that there are no dangerous places. Once the enemy attacks, they will march straight in.
In this regard, Yuncheng proposed a way to build three major passes near Tailin City as the closest gates to protect Tailin City.
After Zhu Ke left, Bai Yutian kept Yuncheng behind and summoned Jing Zhao, Jing Ling and others.
"Yuncheng, Jing Zhao, and Li Zhengkang, how are the construction of the three major checkpoints going?" Bai Yutian asked.
Li Zhengkang hesitated for a while, then stood up and said: "Your Majesty, now the three major academies and the three major checkpoints are being built at the same time. Although there is plenty of money, there is not enough manpower. I would like to ask your Majesty to add some more manpower!"
Jing Zhao sighed helplessly and said: "Your Majesty, please never borrow people from me. I am currently recruiting troops and need to strengthen training."
Bai Yutian nodded after hearing this. With so many projects being carried out simultaneously, it does require a lot of manpower.
"In this way, the construction of Qinu Pass and Jutian Pass will be suspended first, and all efforts will be made to build the trapped dragon pass."
"At the same time, build new roads around Tailin City!"
Everyone listened and understood the previous orders: Qinu Pass defended Shannu, Jutian Pass defended Nanyuan Kingdom, and Quelong Pass defended the enemy in the north.
Now that Shanu has just lost the battle, and the Rock Tribe was almost crippled, Shanu will probably not start a war in the short term.
Moreover, Xiao Li is now leading the Zhenxi Army to guard Xining Prefecture, so he should be fine in the short term.
The Nanyuan Kingdom was the weakest among the five countries near the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Even three years ago, he only dared to interfere with the Zhou Dynasty when the other four countries invaded, and finally got some benefits.
Moreover, if Nanyuan Kingdom wants to invade, it will inevitably encounter the Nanchuan Wolf Army.
Now, only the three northern countries pose the greatest threat to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
A million troops are stationed in the north, watching eagerly, ready to invade south at any time.
However, the newly built road made everyone a little confused.
There are already few manpower, and we still need to build roads.
Bai Yutian smiled mysteriously, "I have seen the map of Tailin City. There are many places without streets, and the transportation is extremely inconvenient. Even if it is a very short distance, you still need to go around a long way."
"Moreover, there are still many abandoned houses that have long been occupied by no one. It would be a pity if such resources continue to be wasted."
"Outside Tailin City, we also need to build roads. From Tailin City to Qizhou, some cities in Yongzhou need to be detoured. These places need to be directly accessible, and some roads are in disrepair and need to be re-paved."
After Bai Yutian finished speaking, Li Zhengkang looked troubled, "Your Majesty, these projects will be a huge task. In my opinion, the repair and construction of the roads can be postponed."
After Li Zhengkang finished speaking, he was flatly rejected by Bai Yutian.
"By the way, regarding the road, I will contact Shen Yuxing later, and the road must be built."
At this time, Bai Yutian once again popularized the importance of traffic roads to everyone.
After saying that, everyone nodded, secretly admiring Bai Yutian's foresight.
"Your Majesty, I understand, but if you want to complete so many projects, there is absolutely no way to complete them in a short period of time."
Bai Yutian nodded, he knew that haste makes waste, "These are long-term plans and need to be completed slowly. Now the drought in Longxi and the banditry in the east have just been resolved, the Shannu have been repelled, and the court has also
Purge is the time for development, we must not slack off."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded.
From these words, they could hear Bai Yutian's determination to revive Dazhou.
At the same time, their hearts are also full of hope, believing that Dazhou will get better and better under Bai Yutian's governance.
"Jing Zhao, Jing Ling, how is the training of the army?"
Finally, Bai Yutian looked at Jing Zhao and Jing Ling.
This pair of grandfather and grandson could almost equal half of the Zhou army.
"Your Majesty, the Fenghuo Battalion has now expanded to 120,000 people, and the Musket Battalion is also under preparation. Currently, 3,000 people have begun to receive formal training and have achieved initial results. In addition, the City Guard Battalion has also been reorganized and has
One hundred thousand people, and we will strengthen training at the same time." Jing Zhao replied.
The Fenghuo Battalion is an army that can be mobilized at any time, while the City Guard Battalion is an army that protects Tailin City.
In the past, Bai Yutian didn't pay much attention to the City Guard Battalion. After Gu Taizhong's rebellion, the Shenji Battalion completely disappeared. The City Guard Battalion became the only army protecting Tailin City, so it naturally received great attention.
Bai Yutian nodded slightly, and then said something shocking.
"Next March, the sword will point to heaven's righteousness."
Bai Yutian actually planned to send troops to attack the Tianyi Army.
Since the integration of the Lin family and Shijiabao, the Tianyi Army has rapidly grown in size, occupying three states, and its territory and power have continued to expand.
In fact, many local armies were forced to rebel and join the rebel ranks of the Tianyi Army because the imperial court had withheld military pay.
Since half a month ago, the Tianyi Army and the imperial army have formed a balance, and the two sides have not invaded each other.
The Yiyi Tianyi Army planned to occupy Mingzhou by force, but they suffered a slight loss. Not only did they fail to capture Mingzhou, but they also lost part of their strength.
However, the imperial court did not achieve much benefit. The army was almost dispersed and many people were killed or injured.
The weather gradually turned colder. In order to preserve their strength, the Tianyi Army did not take the initiative to launch an attack.
The imperial army that conquered the Tianyi Army suffered heavy losses and naturally could not take the initiative to attack. They could only recuperate and reorganize the army.
Some people say: Next spring will be warm and the flowers will bloom, when Tianyi will send out troops again.
