The strongest Marquis in history

At this time, Zhuge Feng didn't speak first, but thought carefully.

Zhou Zishan said: "Your Majesty, the candidates for the logistics department are directly transferred from the household department? After all, the logistics department needs to deal with all parties, and this is not an easy task. The selection of candidates for this position is actually more difficult."

Wang Qidao: "You mean, Tiao Mihuang came to the logistics department and served as the logistics director?"

Zhou Zishan said: "You can think about it this way. After all, the logistics department also has talents. After Mi Shangshu is transferred, the rest of the staff can be appointed as the secretary of the household department."

Wang Qi shook his head and said, "It's not suitable."

After Zhou Zishan heard this, he thought in his heart, he thought to himself that he was stupid, besides Mi Huang's position as Minister of the Household Department, he was also the elder brother of the imperial concubine Mi Zhen.If Mi Huang were to serve in the army, then the Mi family's influence would be too great, and the household department was promoted by Mi Huang, who was Mi Huang's direct descendant, so it would definitely not be suitable.

Zhuge Feng suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I do have a candidate."

Wang Qi asked, "Who?"

Zhugefeng said: "My minister thinks that Mr. Zhao Shao, Xuzhou Mu, can be transferred to serve as the head of the logistics department. On the one hand, when Mr. Zhou was in Dazhou, he worked in the household department. He is responsible for these logistical supplies. Men Qing'er, it's not ambiguous at all. In addition, the boss has a special status, so he can better advance the arrangements for the current logistics department, so that he won't get stuck everywhere."

In fact, Zhuge Feng didn't say one more thing, that is, Zhao Shao is the prince's grandfather.Zhao Shao works in the army and serves as the head of the logistics department, so it can stabilize the prince's status.

This is also the reason why Wang Qi refused Mi Huang.

Wang Qi also smiled when he heard this, and said, "That's right, Zhao Shao will be transferred to the court to serve as the Minister of Logistics. Now, there are also vacancies for Minister of the Ministry of War and Xuzhou Mu. These two candidates, can you choose?" Anyone recommend?"

Zhou Zishan said: "I don't have any candidates for the time being."

Zhuge Feng said: "I would like to listen to Your Majesty's orders."

Today's Xuzhou and the Ministry of War are not considered by Zhuge Feng and Zhou Zishan, so they don't speak.

Wang Qi thought about it for a while, and ordered: "The candidate for Xuzhou Mu, let Sima Chong take up the post. Sima Chong played a big role in the previous Shu Kingdom's surrender. Moreover, Sima Chong has always been the Prime Minister of the Shu Kingdom. He has political achievements. It is not a big problem for him to serve as the governor of a state. As for the candidate for the Minister of the Ministry of War, let Lan Yu, the minister of the Ministry of War, take over."

Lan Yu used to be the county magistrate of Linyi, and also Wang Qi's earliest team member in Langya Kingdom in Xuzhou.Later, Lan Yu was transferred to the central government, step by step to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War.

Now, he directly takes over as Minister of the Ministry of War.

Zhuge Feng said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

After Wang Qi settled down many things, he directly ordered people to summon the six ministers. After Zhu Shanchang, Mi Huang and others all entered, they saluted and sat down one by one. Wang Qi directly announced the establishment of the army command department and the arrangement for the fourth staff department. and personnel structure, as well as the appointment of the Ministry of War and Xuzhou Mu.

Everyone agreed, but Mi Huang's expression was a little gloomy, because Zhao Shao had been working in the local area before, as a Xuzhou shepherd, and now he was directly transferred to the court as an official, so the empress and prince's line would have more soldiers from the military strength.

This is not to be underestimated.

Mi Huang didn't dare to object, after all everyone supported it, and Wang Qi made this a direct arrangement.

After the establishment of the command department and the adjustment of officials, everyone left after the matter was settled. After all, there are many things involved now. In the entire Qi State, even if the place is stable, the court is still constantly adjusting.

Chapter 809 War Mobilization

Time flies, and it is February again in a blink of an eye.

This is the third year since Wang Qi proclaimed himself emperor, and three years after entering Yong'an, the local development of Qi State has been further developed, the people have more food and clothing, and the hearts of the people all over the country have become loyal, and many people have gradually forgotten about the Great Zhou Dynasty.

When the whole land of Qi State was busy with farming, Wang Qi followed the rules of previous years, once again brought his wife and children together, and went to the fields to demonstrate farming in person to show the importance he attached to agriculture.

The world is unstable without agriculture. Even if the imperial court vigorously develops commerce, farming matters are still the most important.

On this day, the sun is shining brightly.

When Wang Qi was playing with the child in the harem, an eunuch entered and reported that Cui Dongshan asked to see him.

Wang Qi could only give up the child, handed the child to Zhao Yuyan and Mi Zhen, and went to the main hall.Wang Qi attaches great importance to children, so as long as he is free, he will accompany the children in person, so that the two children can feel the father's love.

When Wang Qi arrived in the main hall, not long after, Cui Dongshan entered.

Today's Cui Dongshan is even older.

After all, year after year.

Fortunately, Cui Dongshan's spirit is very good, even if he is a little old, it does not affect Cui Dongshan at all.He walked steadily, and after standing still in the main hall, he bowed and said: "My minister Cui Dongshan, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Wang Qi said: "Give me a seat!"

The eunuch on the side immediately brought a seat and asked Cui Dongshan to sit down.

Wang Qi smiled and asked: "Teacher is here today, but is there anything for the Ministry of Punishment?"

Cui Dongshan said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is here to resign. You see, the Ministry of Rites has changed. In the past, Lin Yuanchong served as Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and then he became Zhou Zishan."

"After Zhou Zishan resigned, Qu Ping became Minister of the Ministry of Rites. As for Zhuge Feng's Ministry of War, he resigned, and then Lan Yu took over as Minister of the Ministry of War."

"Your Majesty, there are a lot of talents in the court. Why do you let me, an old man, continue to be in charge of the Ministry of Punishment? In my opinion, the Ministry of Punishment also has a lot of talents. It is also possible to let the people below take up the post."

Cui Dongshan was quite sad, and said: "Your Majesty, why keep me trapped in the Ministry of Punishment?"

With a smile on his face, Wang Qi said: "The teacher wants to resign, I agree."

Cui Dongshan said: "That's right, it should have been allowed long ago."

He has always wanted to resign, but Wang Qi has always refused to agree. Now, he finally agreed.

Cui Dongshan can finally do his own thing.

Cui Dongshan thought for a while, and he said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Liu Zhengyuan, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, can be the candidate for Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Liu Zhengyuan, who was previously the Sili Captain of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was in charge of the Sili area. Political achievements. Because he went out to handle the case, he escaped the killing and finally returned to the court. Liu Zhengyuan is decent and capable, so I am relieved to let him take charge of the Ministry of Punishment. So this matter depends on your opinion. As long as you agree, Everything will be fine."

Wang Qi smiled and said: "Since the teacher has arranged it, I have no objection, let Liu Zhengyuan take over the post of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."

Cui Dongshan rejoiced, and said: "Okay, since I'm fine, I'm going to leave. Next, I'm going to go to the academy and do what I like."

Wang Qi said: "Teacher, I'm afraid it won't work."

"Anything else?"

Cui Dongshan frowned.

He was a little unwilling to get involved in government affairs, so subconsciously, he didn't want to stay in the court anymore.

Wang Qi said: "Teacher, I am going to build another school. For this school, I hope the teacher will take the lead."

The expression on Cui Dongshan's face was slightly relaxed.

Running a school, he is serious.

I am also happy.

Cui Dongshan stroked his beard under his chin, and said: "Tell me, how do you want to run a school? Now there is Nanyang Academy. In this academy, there are countless Confucian scholars, and there are also hundreds of schools of thought, but the largest If you build an academy now, are you going to compete with Nanyang Academy?"

Wang Qi smiled and said: "Teacher, the school to be established this time is not to compete with Nanyang Academy, because the type is completely different."

Cui Dongshan said: "What do you mean?"

At this time, he was extremely curious about what kind of academy Wang Qi was going to build.

Wang Qi said: "The school I want to establish now is called the National Defense University. This school specializes in training talents in the army, mainly training generals. After all, generals in the army can only be promoted by generals at the grassroots level. Insufficient, after all, there are too few learned people."

After a pause, Wang Qi continued: "What we want to cultivate now is more scholars with knowledge and strategic vision. Therefore, I want to establish a separate university to train talents for the army."

After hearing this, Cui Dongshan sighed leisurely, and said: "Your Majesty, all kinds of things you have done, under these circumstances, are constantly raising the status of warriors. The status of warriors is too high, which will easily lead to instability in the court! Although now You have enough prestige, but for future generations, there will always be some people who have difficulty commanding the army, so what will you do then?"

Wang Qi laughed and said: "Teacher, how can the army be independent regardless of government affairs? The entire military system is under my control. Especially the existence of the Ministry of Political Affairs makes all soldiers loyal to the court."

"Today's imperial court is actually the most stable. The civil servants are in charge of the civil servants, and the military commanders are in charge of the military commanders. It is impossible for each of them to exercise power. Even if the emperors of later generations are incompetent, as long as the civil servants and military generals are present, everything will be fine."

"Even in the future, I will make adjustments again. At that time, the stability of the imperial court will be even higher. So, don't worry, teacher. Now that we want to run a school, I lack talents here, so the teacher can only take the lead. "

Cui Dongshan frowned, and said: "Your Majesty, I am a literati, and I don't care about leading troops to fight. You asked me to impart knowledge, and what knowledge do you impart? The army doesn't care about government affairs."

Wang Qi said: "The teacher is wrong. The National Defense University also needs people to teach knowledge. The basic collection of classics and history, as well as basic knowledge, must be available."

"Then, is the art of war involved. In this regard, I will mobilize more generals to serve in the National Defense University. In addition, I will also let the generals be in charge of the drills of all the scholars."

"Because the scholars in the National Defense University follow everything in the army. Therefore, you are the leader and responsible for imparting these knowledge. Teacher, I really don't have many people."

Wang Qi looked sincere and said, "So, I beg the teacher to help me."

"Ugh……"

Cui Dongshan sighed.

He shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, you have bound me. That's all, that's all, the old man promised. Well, Lin Yuanchong is free now, so I asked him to work at the National Defense University. "

"Thank you teacher!"

Wang Qi burst into a smile.

With Cui Dongshan and Lin Yuanchong here, there is naturally no need to worry about the cultural courses of the National Defense University.

He was completely relieved.

As for the drills of the National Defense University scholars and the training courses for all the National Defense University personnel, other people are in charge of these.

Cui Dongshan said: "Your Majesty, the old man will go to prepare now. I will try to draw up the courses taught by the National Defense University within a month, and then discuss it with Your Majesty."

"Thank you teacher!"

Wang Qi stood up and saw them off.

He personally sent Cui Dongshan away, and then went straight out of the palace, because Wang Zongxi did not live in the palace, but lived outside the imperial city.

Wang Zongxi is very leisurely.

look at the children.

Read books, read newspapers, and time will pass.

Wang Qi went outside the imperial city and came to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. He entered directly. In the backyard study, he saw Wang Zongxi. He sat down and said, "Father, I have something to ask for your help."

Wang Zongxi said: "If there is anything, as long as it is for the father to help, I will naturally help you."

Wang Qi said: "I am planning to establish a national defense university. The principal of the school is the teacher Cui Dongshan, and my father is the vice principal. The teacher is in charge of all the cultural courses of scholars, such as classics and history, and my father is in charge of It is the theory of the art of war, and drills like soldiers. This national defense university is to train more generals at the grassroots level for the future Qi State, and enrich them into the army. Then in the future, this will be the cradle of generals of our Qi State.”

Wang Zongxi's eyes lit up when he heard this, he was born as a warrior, which means he belonged to the system of generals.As soon as he heard Wang Qi's words, he was keenly aware of the benefits, and said: "Emperor, do you know that doing this will cause waves."

Wang Qi said: "Who dares to object?"

Wang Zongxi smiled and said: "This is also the truth. No one dares to object at all. You are the founding king of the country, and you have the means to suppress everything. It's also good to do this, separate civil and military affairs, and each has its own affairs."

Wang Qi said: "Since my father has no objection, you should make arrangements for this matter. You can discuss with the teacher how to establish the National Defense University, as well as the site selection and training. In a word, the people I want are all It is used in the military, and teaching cannot be arranged in the usual way."

Wang Zongxi said: "Understood."

After a pause, Wang Zongxi said: "Now it's February again, when are you going to set off to attack Cao Xuan?"

Wang Qi said: "Wait for a while, I want to wait for the latest weapons to appear. Once our rifles appear, then it is time to crusade against Cao Xuan. Of course, in terms of time, it is also approaching, that is, not long ago."

Wang Zongxi said: "You just take care of everything."

Wang Qi smiled and said, "Father, don't worry, I understand."

He asked Wang Zongxi about some life matters, and then Wang Qi left.Wang Qi was not in a hurry to return to the palace, but wandered around in the city. When he was visiting and looking at the local situation, a guard from the palace came to Wang Qi's side and reported that Mo Liu asked to see him.

Wang Qi's heart moved, and he thought of the current research institute. Because he had the actual rifle, he was researching the rifle. It should be because of the breakthrough in the development of the rifle that Mo Liu came to see him.

Wang Qi hurried back to the palace. When he entered the hall, he waved his hands when he saw Mo Liu: "You don't need to be too polite. It's the development of the rifle. A breakthrough has been made. Has the rifle been developed yet?"

"Yes!"

Mo Liu nodded and said: "Your Majesty, our rifle has been developed. Our imitation rifle has been tested for stability and accuracy, and it is not inferior to the Haixi Empire at all. Of course, the main reason is because of your Majesty's book. , mentioning the steelmaking method. We have a different steelmaking method, and the steel produced is stronger."

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "Next, can mass production be done?"

Mo Liudao: "Not for the time being, because there are few machines. But in the future, the machines for making rifles will be manufactured in large quantities first. Within the next month, the mass production of rifles will be realized. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, because there are sufficient raw materials. And the machines After it is manufactured, the next step of making a rifle will be easy."

Wang Qi said: "I don't care about the situation of the rifle. You hurry up and make it, and then provide weapons in large quantities. Next month, I will launch an attack and directly attack Cao Xuan."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission."

Mo Liu replied immediately.

For him, this problem will not be too difficult. After all, under the current situation, all the technical difficulties have been overcome.So it is much easier to make in large quantities.

Wang Qi said: "I will wait for you for a month."

Mo Liudao: "The minister will leave."

After Wang Qi waited for Mo Liu to leave, he directly summoned the four ministers of the command department, as well as the six ministers and Xiao Qingzhi to meet.When everyone arrived, Wang Qi directly arranged for Zhao Shao of the logistics department to be in charge of connecting with the household department to prepare for the logistics of the war, and at the same time asked Xiao Qingzhi to mobilize the soldiers to prepare to send troops.

In addition, the staff department and the political and industrial department must do mobilization work.

The entire war machine must be mobilized.

This time, the number of troops will be set at 5, and no more troops will be deployed.Wang Qi made all the arrangements, and said: "The matter has been arranged, but is there any objection?"

Zhu Shan said: "Your Majesty, you said to send troops in March. At this time, I have no objection. However, we only have [-] troops in the Chang'an Military Region. Is it a bit small?"
