In the Imperial Palace, Chongzhengmen, a court meeting has ended.
More than a hundred officials left one after another, thinking over and over again in their minds about the edict read out today, and demanding that they must do a good job in the next step.
Now that the war has begun, the content of the edict issued by Zhao Yanxun is actually to require the various government offices in the imperial court to cooperate with each other to handle logistical tasks well.
Although this was Zhao Yanxun's first time convening a court meeting of this scale, the process was extremely smooth.
No one dared to sing the opposite tune. All Zhao Yanxun heard in his ears was the shouts of praising the saints.
Therefore, this court meeting was very efficient and ended in only half an hour. It once again unified the thoughts of the entire court just before the start of the war.
After leaving Chongzhengmen, Zhao Yanxun returned to Qian'an Palace in a chariot sedan.
On the way, Huo An came over with two young eunuchs and a large pile of memorials.
"Your Majesty, after a quick glance at these memorials, I see that they are all urging you to become the emperor!"
"Thirty of them were signed by many officials!"
This matter of persuading people to move in has not been heard of since Zhao Yanxun declared the regency.
To put it bluntly, he collected at least thousands of such memorials from central and local officials under the control of the imperial court.
At this time, everyone expected him to become emperor, but he chose not to take this step.
On the chariot sedan, Zhao Yanxun crossed his legs and said slowly: "It's not enough!"
Hearing this, Huo An asked in confusion: "I am stupid, I dare to ask the prince... are these thousands of copies not enough?"
Zhao Yanxun then asked: "There are seven counties in the southwest and south. How many memorials have they submitted?"
The answer is self-evident, most of them are not played.
"This slave is really stupid!" Huo An said quickly.
Zhao Yanxun smiled slightly and said: "So you... just stay in Qian'an Palace and work as an errand!"
"Serving the prince is a slave's blessing!"
Zhao Yanxun then asked: "Has the person you asked to pass it on passed it on?"
"If you want to go back to the prince, we have already arrived and are waiting outside Qian'an Palace!"
"Um!"
What Zhao Yanxun wanted to summon were the generals of the other guards because he wanted to upgrade a large number of troops.
When the actual population under control reached 3 million, Zhao Yanxun upgraded to 20,000 first-level soldiers and 10,000 second-level soldiers in the bodyguard department.
Twenty thousand first-level soldiers have been sent to the southwest by Zhao Yanxun today to attack the rebels.
The 10,000 second-level soldiers were divided into two groups by Zhao Yanxun and advanced to the east and west respectively to eliminate the zombie threat facing the Central Plains.
In order to resist the Yong army, Zhao Weilong deployed all available troops, which caused loopholes in the defense against zombies on the east and west sides.
Now that the Central Plains has become Zhao Yanxun's basic base, he is required to plug these loopholes as soon as possible.
Otherwise, once zombies spread in the Central Plains, it is not impossible that many people will die, and it may even lead to a collapse.
Once the population of the Central Plains decreases significantly, the population under its actual control will also decrease, and all the existing upgrade quotas may have to be vomited.
But fortunately, during this period, the population under his actual control has reached five million.
This also means that he will be able to upgrade another 20,000 first-level soldiers and 10,000 second-level soldiers.
Because there were so many upgrade quotas and so many soldiers involved, Zhao Yanxun had to summon the generals to discuss it.
This is good news for Zhao Yanxun, but it comes with bad news.
The population reached five million, but the system prompted that the quota for second-level soldiers was full.
In other words, the quota for second-level soldiers is determined by the system to be 25,000.
But fortunately, the quota for first-level soldiers has not yet reached the upper limit, and the upgrade quota for third-level soldiers has appeared.
According to the system's explanation, the quota for third-level soldiers is generated based on five million people. For every two thousand additional people under actual control, one upgrade quota can be obtained.
Another condition is that the number of third-level soldiers can only be upgraded for every 100 people, not just one.
Soon, Zhao Yanxun's chariot sedan arrived outside Qian'an Palace.
When they saw his chariot arriving, several generals who had already arrived knelt under the Danbi Stone.
"See you, my lord!"
After getting off the chariot sedan, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice: "Without courtesy... enter the palace!"
After saying this, Zhao Yanxun stepped up to Danbi, and the remaining generals all walked up to the main hall along the white marble steps on both sides with their waists hunched.
Entering the main hall, Zhao Yanxia entered the west side hall, sat on the main seat and glanced at the generals.
"Chen Yu and others led the troops to put down the rebellion. I know that you are dissatisfied, and I feel that I have the ability to lead the troops to fight out!"
I have to say that Zhao Yanxun's words touched the hearts of everyone present.
All the soldiers in Chen Yuhe's guard station have been upgraded, how can others not be envious of them.
With such strong troops, it is not easy to defeat the rebels in the southwest. It can be said that anyone can do this job.
In this case, the credit for countering the rebellion is equivalent to gaining nothing, which will naturally make everyone in the hall feel unbalanced as they have gained nothing.
Looking at the faces of everyone present, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice: "I have never shown favor to one or the other. It was you who fought the battle, and I will not be stingy with your divine power!"
Hearing this in everyone's ears, they immediately felt much relieved.
However, the next moment, Zhao Yanxia said with a serious expression: "You will obey the order..."
The generals present did not dare to neglect at all. They knelt on the ground like a conditioned reflex and shouted in unison: "Please give me instructions, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Yanxun said calmly: "Draw out 8,000 people from the six guards of the Military and Horse Division in Beijing and make up for the remaining two guards of the Guards Division of the Southern Army!"
There has been such a move before, Zhao Yanxun upgraded 30,000 people in one go.
So when they heard this sentence, everyone present was even more excited. Such a large-scale personnel transfer means that there will be another large-scale personnel upgrade.
"I will take your orders!"
"The transferred ministries are to be supplemented by capable men selected from the various guard armies. All tasks must be completed within ten days!"
"Do you all understand?"
Everyone replied in unison: "I understand!"
At this time, Zhao Yanxun's tone became warm and he said: "If there are guard posts that have personnel mobilized, I will give them all the power of the gods. How can you feel at ease?"
The guess in their hearts was confirmed, and everyone present was ecstatic.
Once the entire army is upgraded, the combat effectiveness of their troops will increase dramatically, and they will be able to easily participate in counterinsurgency.
I only heard Xu Hong, the commander of the fourth guard, say: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask for orders to lead the army south to attack Buchen!"
Upon hearing this, everyone else also asked for a fight, hoping to lead troops to the south to gain credit.
"There are battles for you to fight, but the most important thing right now is to accomplish what I just said!"
"If there is no doubt, let's go on our own errands!"
Regarding the matter of personnel deployment, everyone present really had no doubts. They could refer to Chen Yu and their methods.
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
The generals left the hall with bright smiles on their faces.
Once all his subordinates are upgraded, they can all go south.
"In ten days, we can march south!"
"Hahaha……"
Some people laughed happily, but Xu Hong threw cold water and said: "We don't have the time to go south, we still have to look at the progress of mobilizing food and grass!"
"Right now, the imperial court is trying its best to supply grain and grass to the southwest. I'm afraid we have to wait until the battle in the southwest is almost over before we have a chance to go south!"
Hearing Xu Hong's words, Duan Hong on the side responded: "No matter what, the south must be left to us. We cannot let Chen Yu and them take all the benefits!"
While the generals outside were competing for merit, Zhao Yanxun in Qian'an Palace received two pieces of news from Lin Quanchu.
"You mean, King Ning is planning to rebel? Are you asking the Lingbei Dusi to send troops north?" Zhao Yanxun said with a surprised look on his face.
He was surprised that there could be a clan member who was so ignorant of current affairs and dared to rebel against him at this time.
It would be unlucky to rebel with the title of Prince Ning... Zhao Yanxun said secretly.
Lin Quan answered extremely cautiously: "The news was sent back by the editor and supervisor in Jiangxi County, and he has confirmed it repeatedly, so it should be correct!"
With a "pop" sound, Zhao Yanxun threw the brush on the table and said coldly: "Since he wants to die, then crush them!"
