Iron Dynasty

In a blink of an eye, the courtroom was filled with whispers.

Xiao Ming carefully observed the expressions of the generals. When everyone stopped talking, he said aloud: Since everyone thinks that Zhu Sansi cannot serve as the commander of the eastern region, who is willing to assume this position?

The court fell into a dead silence. After a while of silence, Ma Xudong said: Back to the emperor, Zhu Sansi is young and promising. The expedition to Yaksa must have accumulated rich expedition experience. This commander of the Eastern Military Region is indeed suitable for him.

So, you have no objection?

No, no more. Ma Xudong sweated on his forehead.

What about the others? Xiao Ming looked around, his eyes swept over the generals one by one, and every general who was seen lowered his head.

With a sneer, he continued: Since there is no objection, the position of the Eastern Commander has been set, and this matter is over. If anyone dares to talk about it afterwards, don't blame me for being rude.

Xiao Ming's tone revealed sullen anger, and the generals could hear it. They understood that this was the emperor's dissatisfaction with their harassment.

Luo Hong's expression also returned to normal, he didn't want to be sent to North America.

No one objected, Xiao Ming asked Qian Dafu to read the imperial decree and formally appoint the commanders of the six military regions, and then Xiao Ming set the long history of each military region.

Although the army has changed many times, the position of Changshi has always been the same. It is precisely because of the existence of these long histories that the army has not become the personal soldier of the generals, and has always been loyal to him as the emperor.

Therefore, after the military reform, he paid more and more attention to the position of Chang Shi, and in order to prevent Chang Shi and the chief military officer from being at odds, Chang Shi had to be replaced every two years.

The appointment of the generals came to an end, and Xiao Ming continued to talk about the construction of the army, which is the top priority of military reform.

According to his plan, the six military regions should all form independent armies, have all the arms, and be able to take charge of the war alone, and even when necessary, the Great Yu Kingdom can fight a six-front war at the same time.

After this military reform, the commanders should rationally build the military branches of their respective military regions, cavalry, infantry with Han-style rifles, machine gun squads with Changping machine guns, scouts responsible for reconnaissance, and logistics troopers responsible for food and transportation. , artillery, minelayers responsible for burying mines, and engineers must be well established, only when all of these are completed, this military reform can be considered a success. Xiao Ming said word by word.

At the same time, he asked the eunuch to hand over the brand-new Military Construction Regulations to Lu Fei's six generals. These regulations have clear details, and it is enough to follow the above.

The reason for this is that he does not want to let the generals take a detour, so it is better to walk directly on the right path.

This is the same as the development of science and technology and industry and commerce in the current empire. He is now starting to formulate a plan, whether it is a five-year plan or a ten-year plan, everyone and every part will be implemented according to the plan he made.

In this way, the empire he ruled has truly achieved corner overtaking.

A meeting on the military reform lasted for a morning. The generals lost their thoughts about the position of commander and began to focus on the details of the military reform.

The rest of the time he devoted himself to answering questions raised by the generals.

At the end of the court meeting, at noon he set a banquet in the palace to entertain the lieutenant general.

After they were full of wine and food, the generals went back one after another. At this time, he asked Qian Dafu to call Zhu Sansi to the imperial study.

emperor.

Zhu Sansi looked a little apprehensive, and he was completely uncomfortable in today's court.

Xiao Ming smiled and said directly: Let you be a bare commander, you won't blame me.

How dare you at the end. Zhu Sansi said, Xiao Ming has always held a lofty position in his heart, because like the people of Qingzhou, he has truly felt the change from poverty to wealth.

They can only be grateful to Xiao Ming who brought them out of their misery.

Xiao Ming nodded lightly, No way, if you don't, you won't be able to keep your position as a commander. Although I am the emperor, I can't be an absolute dictator. I have to consider most of my ideas, otherwise they will be dissatisfied. , you won't be doing things for me in the first place.

The end general understands the emperor's troubles, and sometimes this happens when the end general appoints generals in the army. Xiao Ming is so approachable, and Zhu Sansi's spirit is also relaxed.

Well, you just understand. Now they have reasons to oppose you. Therefore, after the establishment of the Eastern Military Region, you have to work hard. When you are full of wings, you will naturally no longer question your ability.

While speaking, Xiao Ming took Zhu Sansi to the map of North America, and he continued: Would you like to go to North America? What I said in the courtroom was not a joke.

The emperor's sword is pointing at the heart of the ministers and others. The emperor wants North America, and the last commander will take it down for the emperor. Zhu Sansi said loudly.

Xiao Ming glanced at Zhu Sansi and said, Actually, I have investigated you for a long time, the battle of Yaksa was just a little trial, and it turned out that my vision was right, this North America is the land of heaven, leave it to those minds The impure generals are not at ease, so I finally decided to make you the commander of the Eastern Military Region.

God's Chosen Land? Zhu Sansi didn't understand.

Xiao Ming explained: Compared with the numerous countries around the empire, North America has a superior geographical location and almost no natural enemies. Once there is a stable country here, within a hundred years, this country will benefit from the country's geographical advantages and become a country. A powerful country, and now, such a country has already been established, but fortunately, this country is currently only thirteen colonies connected together, most of the areas are still unclaimed land, I need you to preempt these areas in advance.

Zhu Sansi looked at the standard colony on the map and nodded.

After a pause, he continued: After you have established a firm foothold in North America, I will encourage immigrants to go there. You will be responsible for building our colonial state, gradually encroaching on North America, and finally driving the Europeans back to them on this land. home.

For Zhu Sansi, this has to be said to be a difficult task. He knows nothing about this place, but there is a country with the same level of civilization as Europe.

Seeing Zhu Sansi's worries, Xiao Ming said: Don't worry too much, the Europeans' firearms have been left behind by us, this time I will equip you with machine guns, the first place you will go is Alaska, after you arrive here, you will If you want to build a stronghold, let’s call it Snow City.”

The word machine gun made Zhu Sansi's expression relaxed. At least his equipment in the Eastern Military Region would not be bad.

However, he also realized a problem. It is naturally impossible for the number of troops to go to such a far place to be large, because supply is a big problem. He can only continue to expand the army from immigrants by constantly establishing colonies.
