key to come

"There is nothing to instruct, soldiers come and cover up the water. You are all great talents, and you can't rely entirely on me. What I can do is still limited." Shen Lang couldn't think of what to instruct.

In his opinion, he had done enough.

Time is indeed short before the Northern Expedition, but this kind of thing can't be done overnight.

Fortunately, Da Zhou's national strength is still tyrannical.

Shen Lang felt that now the Great Zhou was as solid as gold, and the Great Zhou at this time was definitely not weaker than the Great Sui at its peak.

There are indeed small problems in many things, let alone him, Ji Nanxian, even if a saint governs the country, it is useless, not to mention that the emperor does not do whatever he wants.

As long as you are human, you will make mistakes. In a normal evaluation, Ji Nanxian has already done well in the emperor.

If he can solve all the problems that cannot be solved in modern times in this era, it is pure nonsense...

"Indeed, you can't put all the burden on Brother Shen, everyone, if you come to Youzhou, even if you are my direct descendants, you have to start from scratch." Ji Qianhe said to the others: "It is only necessary to be mentally prepared. "

"His Royal Highness is willing to give me another chance, I am already grateful." Gao Huan is still very confident in his own talent.

"Hmm." Yu Wentai didn't have any objection either.

"Brother Shen can be in a high position from the very beginning. I believe no one can say no to it. Don't be unbalanced then." Ji Qianhe said jokingly: "Brother Shen is famous after all, everyone Let’s not talk about Zhou Shixian. He is a disciple of the three great sages. When he was the Jinyiwei, he patrolled Bashu on behalf of the sky, punished Li Zikang, took care of the Yin and Yang family, and made a big fuss in Liangzhou, solving many hidden dangers in the world. , Whether it's fame or ability, everyone can see it."

"Brother Shen's biggest problem is that he can't be a civil servant, right? If he wants to be a military officer, he must have military exploits?" Yang Zhong thought for a while.

"Staff is not an official title. I am the King of Yan, and I have the final say." Ji Qianhe snorted.

"Eh... has this Prince Yan's son already become the King of Yan?" Shen Lang said dumbfounded.

"Anyway, my father doesn't care about anything, so I, the son of King Yan, am not exercising the rights of King Yan?" Ji Qianhe spread his hands.

"By the way, how are the princes in other regions?" Shen Lang said to Ji Qianhe, "I'm talking about your relationship."

"Only Liangzhou and Shuzhong have princes sitting in the town, one is Zhao Wang, who is the fourth prince." Ji Qianhe thought for a while: "I haven't met him a few times, he went to Liangzhou before he was 14 years old. , has been guarding Yanmen Pass.”

"The other one is the King of Shu. He is my father's uncle. I don't have much to do with that side."

"Where are the other princes?" Shen Lang asked curiously.

"Tweeting orders." Ji Qianhe spread his hands and said, "There are still a few county kings scattered all over the place, and I haven't seen a few of them."

Shen Lang nodded, and had to say that the Tweeting Order was really a conspiracy, and some princes' descendants slowly went to weave mats and sell shoes.

"Then how could you be the King of Yan in the future?" Shen Lang asked doubtfully.

"Brother Shen, don't dismantle my platform, okay?" Ji Qianhe gave Shen Lang a blank look: "As long as my father is still here, I will be the King of Daiyan, and I will be the King of Beiping, stationed in Guangyang County."

Yang Zhong and the others didn't mind, now Ji Qianhe gave them a way out, no matter whether she is King Yan in the future, as long as they show their abilities, they may be reused.

What is lacking now is not talents, but opportunities, Bole.

I really thought that I couldn’t turn this world without myself, and that kind of person couldn’t become a great talent, and I had to be jealous of this and that all day long.

"Peking King... Peiping is in your residence?" Shen Lang was taken aback for a moment.

"That's right, it used to be called Ji County. The new Taizu Dongxun once built a palace there, and changed the name with his own inscription. Now anyone who is named King Yan will live there. Of course, the former emperor's palace has been demolished."

"The foundation laid by the new Taizu, the development over there is still good, it can be regarded as a rare treasure in Youzhou."

"Even if I become King of Peiping, I will live there. It's my compensation for taking my father's place."

"Don't worry, Brother Shen, I'm taking my father's place, so we must go to Liaodong together first." Ji Qianhe said casually.

Shen Lang's mouth twitched.

Peking, expanded by Wang Mang?His way is quite wild!

No, if things go on like this, future generations only know Wang Mang but not Shen Lang, so wouldn't I lose to him?

"Well, will we in Youzhou participate in the Northern Expedition?" Shen Lang asked Ji Qianhe.

"Participate, but we will also take care of the logistics. Youzhou will send out some soldiers and horses. After all, the best fighters are in Youzhou and Liangzhou." Ji Qianhe said proudly: "If Brother Shen is interested, then the Northern Expedition will let you go." You go to participate."

This time the Great Zhou was fully prepared, everything from military equipment to medicines was available. The battle was all about logistics, and it was already guaranteed that the logistics would be fine. For many people, the Northern Expedition was nothing more than a feat.

Currently only Shen Lang knows that the Northern Expedition will not be that simple, but he can't stop the Northern Expedition from happening.

He just calculated that there would be countless natural disasters at that time, but as long as he wanted to prepare in advance, the disaster would not happen at that time, or it would not happen in that place, making his preparations in vain.

This is more difficult than playing against Qingyao, but playing against Heaven.

Shen Lang used to do a lot of things with the help of the power of the sky, but what if the power of the sky becomes his enemy?Then we can only think of a way to conquer nature.

"Okay, then I'll stop being disrespectful." Shen Lang arched his hands and showed a smile.

The ancient predecessors could conquer the sky with man, so I can do the same.

Chapter 468

The next day, Shen Lang went to court.

Today is the military officer's palace examination, two days ago it was for civil servants, the top three and some Jinshi have been confirmed, some of those people Shen Lang knows, some he doesn't know.

The Fifth Prince went to win over some, and Ji Qianhe also picked up a few, preparing to bring them back to Youzhou.

But these people are not her direct descendants, so they did not appear at the dinner last night.

Although the current Da Zhou is headed by a martial emperor like Ji Nanxian, it is inevitable that Wen Shengwu will decline. There are a total of 180 Jinshi in Wen, while there are only 16 military officers in total, the same as in previous years.

After all, many nobles do not need to take the exam, and military officers also have other promotion paths. As long as they have the opportunity and ability, they can even change from a soldier to a captain.

Gongshi has basically been confirmed as Jinshi, and Gongshi is usually not dismissed in the palace examination, so Chen Qingzhi has already locked a quota for Jinshi.

Today's final exam was Ji Nanxian's own question, and sixteen tributes conducted a sand table drill, and then wrote a policy theory. Chen Qingzhi took the lead in the sand table drill.

Others are fighting with fewer and fewer people, but he is good. The more people are hit, the more supplies are also hit, just like a snowball.

Obviously, he and Shen Lang really had a lot of communication.

Ji Nanxian looked at everyone's policy seriously, nodded, and said lightly: "Hu Li, a Jinshi, is a Marquis of the Xiaoqi Battalion of the Shenwu Army."

The man was overjoyed and thanked him quickly.

The Shenwu Army is destined to go out, as long as the Northern Expedition arrives, it will be the time to make contributions!

It is enough for the military marquis to lead 500 people.

His background is not strong, and he can still stay in the capital is just picked up.

Shen Lang raised his eyebrows, Dazhou has 20 soldiers ready to fight at any time, not counting frontier and local troops.

The 20 were divided into sixteen armies, each with 2000 soldiers, and the Shenwu Army was one of them.

An army has six battalions, and each battalion has a school lieutenant, and then there are military marquis, uncle chief, special chief, and corporal chief.

It seems that there are not many people led by the military marquis, only five hundred, but in fact it is already quite a lot. Further up is the school lieutenant, and then the general.

Don't think that generals are worth a lot of money. A military officer who reaches the fifth rank can become a general, but he is just a loose official.

For example, there is only one word difference between the fifth rank Ranger General and Hussar General...

Of course, these generals in the capital are okay, but the local generals are really worthless.

The generals of the Sixteenth Army in Chang'an basically have their own promotion channels, and they can lead an army to the bottom four ranks.

Because Ji Nanxian had fought in the Northern Expedition several times before, and now the fourth rank is a little bit hard to get up, and there are three dynasties veterans and two dynasties veterans queuing up, the middle-aged can get a lieutenant general is already very impressive.

An army has a total of three generals, one chief and two deputy, each with several civil servants such as Chang Shi, and there are more civil servants in charge of Chang'an city defense and imperial palace defense than outside.

This time, the sixteenth army should not be all out, and the local government will send troops to join in. It should be the twelfth to thirteenth army. As the main force, the Shenwu army will definitely participate in the battle.

If it is changed to the imperial army, there is a high probability that they will stay in Chang'an.

"Qi Heng, Jinshi, Marquis of Feng Yunhui Army Shenji Battalion."

"Sun Chuanwu, a Jinshi, was granted the title of Marquis of the Shield Barracks of the Longwu Army."

After Qi Heng is Duke of Qi, the Shenji Battalion is definitely a very important one.

Looking at Sun Chuanwu, after Sun Taiwei, he had conflicts with Luo Xi before, and now... he must know what the shield barracks are for.

If he can survive, he will definitely be promoted, the premise is that he can survive.

After reading the names one by one, some got satisfactory positions, and some could only go down to the place with regret.

Some people's faces were a bit ugly. In their eyes, they should be the number one scholar, and being a Jinshi means that they will miss the top three.

"Chen Qingzhi." Ji Nanxian said indifferently: "Tanhua, I'm named the Lieutenant of the Xiaoqi Battalion of the Liaodong Zhechong Army in Youzhou."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Qingzhi thanked him.

Shen Lang showed a smile, not bad.

A score of zero in the martial arts exam can still get a third prize, which shows that his strategy has been written in Ji Nanxian's heart.

After all, Ji Nanxian was taught by Grand Master Xiao, and so was Chen Qingzhi, the two must coincide in many ways.

On the contrary, some officials breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the promotion of the local army cannot be compared with that of the Beijing officials. They have fought too many battles and cannot often perform in front of the emperor. Even a school lieutenant can be regarded as a hard job.

Besides, the local forces are deeply intertwined, even if he is given as a school lieutenant, will he be able to move it?

Of course, I was also upset that he took this Tanhualang.

"Your Majesty!"

At this moment, a military officer stood up.

"What's the matter?" Ji Nanxian cast a glance at him.

"Chen Qingzhi's talent is obvious to all, but this official position doesn't seem to be suitable for him." The military officer looked for Chen Qingzhi's good: "His strategist is from Grand Master Xiao, so he must be impeccable in this aspect, but he doesn't know martial arts at all. what!"

"To be a general is to go to the battlefield. He can't even march quickly on horseback. How can he go to the battlefield? Even if he becomes an infantry soldier, his physical strength can't support him. At that time, we can't let other soldiers carry him. ?”

"Everyone rides a horse, so he wants a carriage?"

"Pfft..."

Master Cai laughed.

Immediately afterwards, a bunch of people laughed, especially the general.

Many generals are sincere, they have no inclination, and they feel that what they say is quite reasonable.

The biggest difference between this and history is that there is no precedent for a military officer not fighting a war if he has no cultivation.

It's fine if you don't practice civil servants, but as a military officer, if you charge into the battle, you can't let others lead you, right?

Not to mention anything else, with the more than 1000 war horses brought back by Shen Lang, Chen Qingzhi couldn't communicate with them mentally, that is to say, he couldn't control them!

Ji Nanxian frowned slightly. He was only thinking about Ji Qianhe before, and forgot about this.

That's right, he doesn't seem to be able to be a lieutenant like this, so let him be a staff officer with the army?

That's not right, he can't even be a staff officer, and the staff officer has to follow suit!

"My lord, it's not right to say that. If you don't cultivate, you can't lead troops to fight?" Shen Lang came out: "All the generals are here, so it's impossible for them all to be reckless, right? so proficient?"

"In terms of martial arts, Han Xin, the soldier fairy, is not as good as the overlord of Western Chu. Could it be that the overlord has won the country?"

"The next step is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the second is to attack the city."

"If it's the turn of the Generalissimo to charge forward, what's the use of soldiers and generals?"

"This time it must be His Majesty's personal conquest. If His Majesty needs to rush to kill, then what's the use of you?"

Many generals present nodded their heads, especially those who were weak in cultivation, straightened their backs.

That's right, Lao Tzu Wentao's martial arts strategy is the best in the world, even if he doesn't know martial arts, he can destroy Rouran in terms of command alone!

Chapter 469

"Mr. Shen, what we are talking about is not the same thing. The generals are indeed not reckless. They all use soldiers like gods, but none of them are below the fifth rank!" The military officer stared at Shen Lang: "Chen Qingzhi Such a great talent is more suitable to stay in the Ministry of War and command from the rear."

"Mr. Shen, I'm not targeting the future Mr. Chen, I'm just trying to reason."

"Look, if he is in the Ministry of War and commanding from the rear, as long as the logistics is right, that's credit. The new Taizu said that logistics is what fights in war. Don't you think the officials of the Ministry of War in the rear are useless?"

"If Mr. Shen thinks so, then from my point of view, Mr. Shen is nothing more than that. Anyway, there is no need for logistics, and everyone will starve to death?"

"In the past, some people have always said that Mr. Shen's military skills are quite high, but now it seems that it is just talking on paper."

Many people present frowned, and Ji Nanxian looked at Shen Lang with interest, wanting to see how he would resolve it.

Now he is quite moved by the fact that Chen Qingzhi stayed behind, but when Shen Lang left, Chen Qingzhi was a living target here. After leaving Haohai Academy, could he really grow up?
