The great emperor of crossing

"So now we can talk about the army?"

Zhao Lie was in a panic. He wanted to know everything about army building. It was very simple. If one wanted to achieve great unification, one must first have a truly powerful army.

"About the army, there must be different types of arms. Currently we have cavalry, crossbowmen, musketeers, and artillery, but this should not be enough. After all, if we want to attack, we still need more cannons to directly blast the enemy. !"

Bai Qi's thinking has been changing, perhaps in his heart, the crowd tactics have gradually become unreliable.

"Yeah, Yan's 300 million troops were bombarded by fifty cannons in less than half an hour, and only half of them remained. The most critical issue is the quantity and quality of the cannons, they are too heavy, and sometimes the mountain roads are difficult to walk!"

"Since this is the case, Bai Qi, or you can just work with Hu Shi to build a military university of science and technology. You have also seen that 20 years have passed. In today's country, there are already many universities, and talents of all kinds are emerging in endlessly. There are also more and more, and the scope of the imperial examinations is also emerging one after another. Special economics, science and technology, and now all kinds of high-tech talents have slowly appeared, so there shouldn’t be a big problem, right?”

In fact, what everyone is discussing now is not how to strengthen the army, but the reform and upgrading of the army brought about by some new things.

This time, Zhao Lie began to notice that technology brought about a real change, but this is not the last moment.

"The widow has an idea. It's very simple. The army must be reformed. Troop training is naturally very important, but we must also see the changes after the update. At present, the update of the musket is the most critical. Although it is accurate, it has a short range. , so it cannot be compared with bows and crossbows, so at this stage, the army still needs to use a combination of bows and crossbows and muskets, but everyone should take a long-term view and arrange a few generals to be directly responsible for military manufacturing and updates. How about being rewarded according to military merits?"

"You can try it!"

Bai Qi was taken aback, he didn't expect that Zhao Lie already had a countermeasure, and he didn't expect that he thought about it again.

"There is also the number of the army. Now it is more than 1000 million. Is this too much?"

Han Xin was a little speechless. After all, he did it for his life when he was fighting Chu, and now there is no need for so many people.

"Indeed, in various places now, 20 troops can actually defend the frontier, and 200 million is enough, so 500 million troops is the most standard. Think about it, everyone, the arms race between the seven countries was the Youyun Kingdom It was picked up, at first it was hundreds of thousands, then several million, and in the end, there were 1000 million, but these people really should go back, they need to farm and produce!"

"Han Xin, it's easy for you to say these words. It's an honor to stay in the army now. If you take off the uniform, you think something happened!"

"So you need to announce it!"

Zhao Lie made it very clear. Now it can be seen that disarmament is certain, but it is really unrealistic to directly reduce the army to 500 million.

"In this way, don't directly reduce it all at once, and take it step by step. Let the troops of the six countries go back first, part by part. To be fair, it turns out that the Youyun Kingdom is the same, but you have to do a good job of ideological work!"

"I still have to give a way!"

Wei Yang was a little worried about whether the disarmament would cause civil strife in the country. After all, such things are very dangerous.

"It's simple. The army can select outstanding talents, and at the same time change the military service system. Every two years, 100 million people will be disarmed. After these 100 million people enter the society, they can directly arrange jobs, farm according to their wishes, or give them opportunities to learn. , anyway, there are many industries in Youyun Country, and they can all make money!"

"No! Your Majesty, the title! Now you are still rewarded for your military service. If you leave the army after making military service, I'm afraid it will be chilling!"

Bai Qi didn't object, but Zhao Lie had to agree to these things.

"Then what do you say?"

Zhao Lie was a little speechless, today's Bai Qi seemed to be the one who sang against him again, but he was dedicated to serving the country, so he couldn't say much.

"Give titles in the army, so that you can honor your ancestors, and then ask for your will. If you want to stay in the army, you must show your true skills and implement the army's end-of-life elimination system. In this way, those who are not suitable for the army can If you leave, then the army will hold training courses directly, and arrange according to other wishes, but encourage you to go to university and continue to study, and you can still come back when the time comes!"

Everyone nodded, it seems that many problems have been resolved.

"Very good. Everyone has spoken freely today. I am very pleased. It's just that it's almost time to start now. After all, the most important thing is to become emperor!"

Zhao Lie started to take back the meeting.

"Wei Yang, your task is to revise the law. You proposed the second reform, so you will preside over it. You choose the candidates yourself. No one else will participate. As long as the result is good, it's fine. It's the same as before, completely delegate power!"

"promise!"

Of course, it was the same before. Zhao Lie simply ignored it later and let Wei Yang do it himself. Anyway, whoever looks for trouble will be abolished first.

"Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, the period of political reform will be entrusted to you. You should be familiar with the system of three provinces and six ministries. First, come up with a charter, then discuss it with the widow, and finally take it to the Xuanzheng Palace!"

Because Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling did not have the authority of Wei Yang, Zhao Lie still needed to add bricks and tiles.

"About the construction of the navy, Zhang Yi, you are in charge, but the admiral of the navy!"

Zhao Lie thought about it, and he knew it.

"Li Xin, you knew Chu State best before, so I'll leave it to you to manage the navy division! Remember, run a navy division first, check the situation, and then come again. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!"

"promise!"

Now Zhao Lie's heart has relaxed a lot, it seems that he is finally going to be the emperor, this is really a matter of honoring the ancestors.

"Okay, for the army, Bai Qi, you are in charge of running the school! Han Xin, you are in charge of the military training! Wang Ling, leave the disarmament to you! Meng Ao, you are in charge of maneuvering at any time!"

"promise!"

"About the issue of border guards, Meng Tian, ​​go to the north and take 200 million Mengjia troops to garrison in the north, figure out the characteristics of the Huns, and be ready to fight at any time! Yue Fei, I will hand over the Donghu area to you, as well as the original Yandi , I will attack Liaodong sooner or later! And Wang Jian, your mission is to take 200 million Wang's troops directly to the Baiyue border, get ready!"
