Iron Dynasty

After leaving the palace, Zhu Sansi looked up at the blue sky.

For him, everything that is happening now is like a dream. Although he, the commander of the Eastern Military Region, is still equivalent to a bare commander, and his subordinates are only the foundation of the Northern Expedition, he is already grateful to the emperor.

In the imperial study, the emperor had already made it clear that it was up to him whether he, the eastern commander, could finally be on an equal footing with the other five military regions.

Outside the palace gate, Gao Yingfeng and the other generals were waiting for him. Seeing him come out, everyone looked excited, Gao Yingfeng shouted excitedly: Master Commander, congratulations! Congratulations!

Congratulations, congratulations! The other generals were equally excited.

Zhu Sansi gave a wry smile, the imperial decree has been issued, and the appointment of the military region is not a secret. It is not surprising that Gao Yingfeng and others learned about this from other generals.

He said: Don't be too happy one by one, hard times are still to come, now you go back and prepare to receive a batch of machine guns, and soon, we will go to Alaska, whether our eastern military region can become bigger depends on whether it can be in North America. rooted.

North America! Gao Yingfeng and the others looked confused.

Zhu Sansi nodded and told his subordinates what Xiao Ming said to him. These people are his family and will be the backbone of the Eastern Military Region.

When he finished speaking, everyone was relieved.

Gao Yingfeng said: It's no wonder that the commander of the Eastern Military Region can fall on the head of the division commander. This is a chore, but this Yaksa has gone, and we don't care about going to Alaska.

That is, we all climbed out of the same heap of dead people, we have suffered together, and we have shared blessings.

Master, wherever you go, we'll go wherever you go.

...

The generals shouted one by one, the battle of Yaksa made their relationship closer.

Zhu Sansi nodded with emotion. With such a group of brothers, he was not afraid of anything.

As everyone was talking, a luxurious carriage slowly approached in front of him, and a person with similar eyebrows to Zhu Sansi jumped out of the carriage.

Zhu Sansi looked at the person who came, and showed a smile. This person was his younger brother Zhu Wuliu.

Brother, I've been waiting for you for a long time. My father and mother are waiting for you to go back to eat at home. Zhu Wuliu said, he reminded Wei Chuan now that he had changed a lot from his thin appearance before.

Zhu Sansi has not been home for more than a year, and he misses his family very much. He said to Gao Yingfeng, This time you will go back to gather with your family. We will gather in the army in two days.

Gao Yingfeng glanced at Zhu Wuliu. This Zhu Wuliu is now famous in Qingzhou. From building roads in Qingzhou city to setting up his own Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce, Zhu Wuliu is now one of the top businessmen.

Looking at the three and four brothers Zhu with envy, Gao Yingfeng led a group of generals to leave.

Zhu Wuliu smiled at this time: Brother, congratulations on your promotion to the commander of the Eastern Military Region, it seems that I can't compare to you in my life.

You know that. Zhu Sansi froze for a moment, frowning.

Hahaha... There is a saying that money can make a ghost run a mill. To tell the truth, there is a military food factory under my chamber of commerce, and many of the canned food in this Beizheng expedition are produced by this military food factory. , Of course, your brother and I also have some contacts with the quartermaster of the staff. He came out of the palace just now and told me the good news when he passed by. Zhu Wuliu looked smug.

Zhu Sansi's brows furrowed even deeper. Looking at his younger brother, he felt that the person in front of him was suddenly a little strange. He who used to be simple and unpretentious now appears to be sophisticated and scheming.

Wu Liu, you forgot what I said to you. The bigger your business is now, the more restrained you will be. Why are you not obedient at all. Zhu Sansi reprimanded.

Zhu Wuliu laughed, and he said, Brother, why are you so nervous, we are just a business relationship, just chatting casually, and you are the commander now, and he took the initiative to curry favor with our Zhu family, not me. Asked.

Zhu Sansi's expression softened a little, and now he can't see that Zhu Wuliu's words are true or that those words are false.

With a sigh, he got into the carriage and went home with Zhu Wuliu.

After resting at home for two days, Zhu Sansi returned to the army to formally form the Eastern Military Region, and at the same time, the vigorous military reform was also implemented.

On the third day of the military reform meeting, the commander of the military region and Chang Shi each returned to their own military region to reform the army under their command according to the regulations.

At the same time, the military industry system was gradually improved under the supervision of Yang Chengye, and the military factories worked overtime to produce weapons for the major military regions.

In half a year, 3,000 machine guns and 2,000 guard artillery pieces were allocated to the six military regions, and Qi Guangyi's lancers also completed the equipment update.

With such a result, Xiao Ming is naturally very satisfied. For him, the military reform has progressed perfectly. The next step for the empire is to expand to the outside world.

But just as he was about to sound the drums of war, news came from Dengzhou that the British and French embassies had arrived in Dengzhou, and they requested to enter Qingzhou for a meeting.

They still have the face to come to Qingzhou to see them. They are extremely shameless. Your Majesty, according to the opinion of the old ministers, it is better not to see them. Pang Yukun glared angrily.

The combined fleet was wiped out for more than a year, but the effects of the war remained in the hearts of every Imperial.

Xiao Ming shook his head, Don't act with anger between countries, it will make it easier to drive the regiment away, but some problems cannot be solved at the negotiating table, and wars cost the people money and slow down economic development, so you don't need to use them if you can.

After the three major tribes of the barbarians were wiped out, the ministers' great-power mentality swelled a lot, and they clamored for war at every turn. They were quite a model of contemporary American emperors, but at least he was not confused.

Although the country is big, he always kept in mind the principle of war will surely perish.

Is the emperor going to talk to them?

Pang Yukun was a little surprised. He sometimes didn't understand Xiao Ming's thoughts. After all, sometimes Xiao Ming was like a war madman, and sometimes he was surprisingly calm, and he couldn't guess his mind more and more.

Ten years ago, he still had some contempt for Xiao Ming, always thinking that he could control him with his talent and learning, but now he is always worried when facing Xiao Ming.

Talk, it's not too late to fight if we can't agree, and I want to take this opportunity to let the secret guards enter Europe and get real information. We can't believe all the Dutch people's words. Xiao Ming said.

Pang Yukun nodded, If so, the old minister will ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to prepare and bring them to Qingzhou.

Xiao Ming nodded. He rolled his eyes and continued: Also, let Lu Fei dispatch a thousand elites from the Central Army to line up at the city gate tomorrow to show the mighty military power of the empire!
